CHAPTER30

(The keeper makes his appearance with his henchmen.)

KEEPER

Things have finally gotten interesting.

JAX

Who’s this guy?

MANJI

That’s the Keeper. A space pirate worth 20 million Credits and the ruler of Junkie Screen.

SENKA

A space pirate being a ruler of a planet? That’s impossible!

KEEPER

Girlie, anyone can rule a planet as long as he’s a space pirate. Junkie screen was a lawless planet. So it was easy for me to establish my rule here.

MIST

You’re the reason as to why Spice is being used here.

KEEPER

Of course, the IPD wouldn’t dare come to this planet because of its stormy atmosphere, that’s why it was easy for me to carry out the Spice business. Once I noticed how the people here were addicted to Spice, money started rolling in my palace. And then I’m going to accomplish my dream of being a DJ.

JAX

A DJ?

KEEPER

That’s right. It was my dream to become a DJ and go on a world tour. But I needed money for that. So, I became a Space pirate and started doing the Spice business. I’m gonna thank you Stargaze and your planet for manufacturing such a drug.

(Manji and his crew that is Rebecca, Sand and Sanya step forward.)

KEEPER

So, you want to fight me Manji.

MANJI

I don’t know what you’re planning but it’s coming to an end right now.

JAX

We’ll also help.

MIST

That’s right.

MANJI

You 3 step back. You’re rookie space pirates who’ve just started their adventure. So, leave it to the pros.

JAX

Alright then.

KEEPER

You think you’re a march against me. Your bounty is lower than mine.

MANJI

So what. I’ll just beat you and claim your 20 million credits.

KEEPER

You think that you’re in the same league as me. You couldn’t even defeat Draken. His bounty has reached 50 million.

MIST

You know him!

KEEPER

Every space pirate knows who Draken is. And he has become the new ruler of this Cosmos, The Eastern Cosmos.

JAX

Who’s that guy?

(Everyone gets shocked.)

MANJI

Seriously you do not know who he is.

REBECCA

He’s the evilest space pirate of the entire Eastern Cosmos.

SAND

How retarded can you be?

KEEPER

Well not like your ignorance bothers me. But I wanna play a game with you 2 captains and your crews.

MANJI

What game?

JAX

Oh, I love to play games. What games are we playing?

KEEPER

I like your motivation Stargaze. Then I’ll take you to the location of where the game will begin.

(He transports them to the bottom floor of a tower.)

MANJI

Where’s this place?

JAX

Everything here is white.

REBECCA

It seems like we’re in a tower.

(The Keeper appears on a hologram laying music like a DJ.)

KEEPER

Damn, this beat is really good.

JAX

Damn, he really wants to be a DJ.

SENKA

Take things seriously.

KEEPER

Can you hear me my fellow players? Or does this mic doesn’t work?

JAX

I can hear you.

KEEPER

Alright the name of this game is called Tower. There are 100 floors on this tower. Each with a mob and a Boss.

JAX

So cool!

KEEPER

The rule of this game is simple. You will be rivals on this game competing to get to the top floor. Each mob that you’ll beat will be counted as points. The crew that will reach to the 100th floor and beat the boss which is me will receive a reward.

MANJI

I have enough of your silly games.

KEEPER

It’s the Genshin crew that consists of 3 members that is their Captain Jax Stargaze, Mist Takamura and Suzune Senka…

JAX

Look we’re on the screens.

SENKA

I wonder why you’re so excited about this.

KEEPER

…vs the Manji crew that consists of 4 people that is their captain Manji, Rebecca, Sand and Sanya.

MANJI

I’m going to kill him.

KEEPER

Let the games begin! Oh and remember this game is broadcasted all over the planet. So make sure you like and subscribe to this Go tube Channel.

JAX

Mwahahahahahaha! We’re going to be famous!
