CHAPTER19

(A nuclear explosion engulfs the entire base, Mist and Senka watch in astonishment.)

MIST

What was that?

SENKA

Not sure. Did someone plant a nuclear bomb?

MIST

Where’s Jax? Don’t tell me he got caught in the explosion?

SENKA

Don’t even think about that!

(Jax appears running towards them.)

JAX

What are you doing? Let’s go! We already have the map. So let’s get out of here! The IPD might send in reinforcements.

MIST

You’re right.

(They start to run towards their ship.)

SENKA

Jax, what was that explosion? And how did you survive it?

JAX

Oh, that was my trump card. It’s called nuclear fusion.

MIST & SENKA

Ehhhhh! You have the power to cause atomic explosions!

JAX

Well, that’s one of the advantages of having Infinite Kama.

SENKA

This Kama of yours is like a cheat skill in a game. It’s like you’re immortal.

JAX

Well, I’m not immortal. If I use my trump card, it takes time for me to recharge my Kama. That means I’m not immune to physical attacks.

(Mist whacks him in the head.)

JAX

Ouch.

MIST

I was testing to see if it’s true.

(Joe and the other IPD officers emerge from a barrier that Hannah had just formed.)

JOE

To think that he had such a fearsome power.

HANNAH

Did that Silver hair do all this?

JOE

Yeah, we must get him before he fully awakens that power. Who knows how fearsome he’ll become once he awakens that infinite Kama.

HANNAH

Then he’ll truly have the power of a demon king and could even fight toe to toe with the Watchers.

JOE

Probably. So that’s why the Watchers sent a Schneider to destroy the Mandarin. They had sensed that someone had the power to rival them in battle and opted to destroy the planet.

(He then gropes Hannah’s ass.)

HANNAH

Um… sir.

JOE

I never knew that you were this smart Hannah. You should be my right hand.

HANNAH

O—Okay, but please don’t do inappropriate stuff to me.

JOE

I know how you like your ass groped. It’s all in your face. You and I shall have a wonderful time together. And also we must track down Silver hair. Men, get our battle ships ready. We’re going to Star Wars mode.

IPD OFFICERS

Yes, sir!

(Meanwhile, Jax, Mist and Senka arrive at their ship known as the Genshin which is now visible.)

SENKA

Whoa! What a big ship. So this is the infamous Genshin that has been used by the Demon King 500 years ago. To think that you’ll be the captain of this ship, Jax.

JAX

The ship called for me to be her captain.

SENKA

Then it must need a good pilot to fly it. I was the top of my class in Flight school. So flying this ship will be a piece of cake.

(They enter the ship. Senka sits at the pilot seat and turns everything on while Jax and Mist buckle up.)

SENKA

This is going to be so much fun.

(The turbo engines of the ship roar.)

SENKA

Time for takeoff!

(The ship then takes off from the planet Grand bell. Only to be followed by Joe’s battle ships.)

IPD OFFICER

Sir, we found them.

JOE

So that’s his ship huh.

HANNAH

That’s the Infamous Genshin.

JOE

What a twisted string of fate we’re having here. That Silver Haired Stargaze got the Genshin.

IPD OFFICER

Your order sir.

JOE

Shoot it down.

IPD OFFICER

Yes, sir.

(The cannons on the battle ships fire lasers at the Genshin. This causes the alarms in the Genshin to go off.)

JAX

What’s going on?

SENKA

It seems like we’re being under attacked.

MIST

By who?

(A hologram displays Joe’s battle ships.)

MIST

The IPD officers are chasing after us!

JAX

That bastard never gives up huh.

SENKA

He’s an admiral and he’ll chase us down from one cosmos to the next. But don’t worry, my piloting skills are top tier. So he’ll never catch up to us. Like they all say, a good ship needs a good pilot.
