CHAPTER18
(Joe gets up and shakes his head.)
JOE
Ugh! That Silver haired brat really knows how to throw a punch. And not to mention that he was too fast.
(Jax heads to where he is.)
JAX
I see that you’re not yet dead. As expected of an admiral.
JOE
I have fought stronger space pirates before. Don’t think that you’re the 1st one who can throw a punch at me.
JAX
Just as you know I’ll be throwing faster punches at you.
JOE
What’s your assault Kama.
JAX
Infinite.
JOE
[He has the same power as that woman who they call The dreamer. Yeah, they do look like. From their silver hair and their purple clothing. And their violet eyes with red and yellow mixed colors. Except that his eyes are star shaped]
[He’s referring to Jax’s purple hoodie.]
JOE
I won’t let someone like you sail in the cosmos. I have to put an end to you. You must be the guy that the Watchers feared.
JAX
I don’t know about that. Red spikes.
(He summons red spikes from the ground that aim to stab Joe. Joe quickly dodges them.)
JOE
This spikes are the same as Rena Stargaze! Are you her son?
JAX
That’s right. I’m her son. Do you know Father?
JOE
Yes, I do know her. She was quite a troublesome enemy with her partner Kanpai Nemesis. Oh, I never forgot about them. Mind telling me your mother’s name.
JAX
Swan. Why?
JOE
Ha! I should have known that you were The Dreamer’s son. To think that 2 women were able to produce a child together. The cosmos sure is full of wonders.
JAX
You talk too much. Red dot.
(He shoots a red dot at Joe.)
JOE
Gravity descend.
(He makes the dot heavy making it to fall down.)
JAX
You really are an idiot.
JOE
What?
(The red dot explodes.)
JAX
Shit! I went overboard, I was supposed to get key card from him. Did I blow up the key card also?
(The smoke clears as Joe has formed a gravity shield.)
JOE
Gravity shield.
JAX
Oh, you’re alive. Thank god.
JOE
This will be your end Stargaze!
(He makes his body lighter.)
JAX
I’m floating.
(Joe then brings him close to him and kicks him in the air.)
JAX
…!
JOE
I’m not done yet.
(He leaps in the air and releases his next attack.)
JOE
Gravity volt.
(Jax’s boy becomes heavy making him to crash down to the basement.)
JAX
Damn! Admirals are so strong.
MIST
Jax!
(She draws out her sword.)
MIST
I’m going to make you pay!
JOE
Oh yeah, I forgot about you.
(He releases his Supreme Kama making Mist’s legs wobble and kneels.)
MIST
My body isn’t moving. That man’s supreme Kama is so strong and deadly. It’s like as if he wants to kill me.
JOE
Those who experience and feel my supreme Kama will always smell death. That means you’re going to die, Mist.
(Suddenly, a hand grabs Joe’s fist.)
JOE
..!
(Then the Jax pulls him down making the entire floor to grumble down.)
JAX
Looks like I don’t need a key card to get the map. I’ll just break the entire floor to get the map.
JOE
You’re a crazy bastard, Stargaze!
MIST
Kyaaaa!
(A digitalized map falls alongside them to the ground.)
JAX
There’s the map! Mist get it.
MIST
Okay.
(She heads to grab the map.)
JOE
Oh no you don’t.
(Before he could get to Mist, Jax trips him down.)
MIST
I have the map. What now Jax?
JAX
We go back to the ship. Tell Senka that.
MIST
Alright then.
(She runs. Using her phone she calls, Senka.)
SENKA
Yes, Mist.
MIST
We got the map. Where are you?
SENKA
Outside of the building. You guys did quite a mess there. Don’t tell me you run into Joe Biscuits.
MIST
We did. And Jax is facing with him.
SENKA
What?! Tell him to not to fight him! Joe Biscuits ain’t someone to fight with.
MIST
Jax told us to head back to the ship! So we should believe him.
SENKA
Fine.
(Mist runs outside. Some IPD officers run after her but she slashes them down and meets up with Senka.)
(Meanwhile, Jax faces with Joe.)
JOE
Even if you have the map, there’s no escape for you. A crew without their captain will fall.
JAX
It’s time for my trump card to play.
JOE
What are you talking about?
(A red barrier forms around the building.)
JOE
What the hell is this?!
JAX
Nuclear fusion!
(Suddenly out of the blue, a nuclear explosion engulfs the entire building.)
MIST & SENKA
Jax…
