Chapter 13: Worse

"Ok but why is that the best way to make the greatest warrior? I don't think I really understand." "War" said.

"As I mentioned before starting from scratch it is the best way to develop them since I can control every aspect of their environment and mold them as I see iit. In addition to that I believe a combination of our DNA would produce exceptional results." Ton Bi replied.

"Listen I don't think that I feel comfortable with doing this sort of thing." "War" said.

"I see, that is understandable. Some people feel uncomfortable with procreating with a person they just met." She responded.

"That's an understatement." "War" thought to himself

"The reason I wear this type of outfit is because it usually makes men more willing to participate in my research, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it that's fine." Ton Bi said.

"Oh ok, thank y-" "War" was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

"If you don't feel comfortable directly depositing your sample it is just as acceptable for you to extract it yourself and deposit it into this cup." She said while extending a hand holding a lab cup.

"Um I don't think I can do that either." "War" said.

"Oh do you need my assistance extracting it?" She said.

"No, and stop saying those disgusting things so casually. It's not the method that's the problem, I just don't want to participate at all." "War" said firmly.

The two went around in circles discussing the topic until "War" eventually snapped.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY NO YOU FREAK? I JUST DON'T WANT MY KID TO BE PART OF AN EXPERIMENT! WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?!" "War" shouted.

"Oh no this is what "Wind" was warning me about I might have put all of us in a lot of trouble." "War" said.

"That fiery temper… is exactly what I need." Ton Bi said much to "War's" surprise, "They say that anger can fuel a man's strength, yes I believe I was right in picking you."

"Oh well that went over better than I thought, but still I'm not interested and apparently this conversation has no way of going well for me so I'm just going to leave." "War" said while backing out of the door.

After he left, he rushed into the room where the rest of his team was waiting.

"Hey captain how'd it go?" "Earth" asked with a smirk on his face.

"So we all need to leave now, everything is fine, no time for questions, just grab your things and let's go." "War" said.

"Oh no this is exactly what I tried to warn him about. I was afraid something like this might happen." "Wind" thought.

"Hey where's everyone going in such a hurry? Hey brother try these cupcakes they have, they're lemon cream flavor." "Wolf" said.

"Not now we don't have ti- wow that smells good. Alright grab some but hurry we need to get out of here." "War" responded. "Grab some of that tea too."

They then spent the next 10-15 minutes pillaging the snacks and drinks in the reception area before they left. Luckily contrary to "War's" belief there was no one chasing him so there was no reason for them to be in a hurry in the first place.

When they got on their ship "War" pulled "Earth" aside to talk to him in private.

"Hey pal thanks for the heads up. That lady is a total psycho why didn't you warn me?" "War" asked.

"Well it is kind of an uncomfortable thing to talk about, plus I didn't want to mention it in front of the others. I am sorry captain, but at least you got out of it somehow." "Earth" replied.

"I'm not sure that I have gotten out of it yet." "War" said, "How did you and Chihiro get off the hook?"

"That's because we were both married, of course as you know Madam Bi doesn't take no for an answer but it didn't make turning her down easier for us." "Earth" said.

"Oh I see maybe I should get hitched just to get her off my back. Wait you're married?" "War" asked surprised.

"Yes I've been married for 7 years now. In fact since I was nearly executed my wife has been adamant about me being home as often as possible. She's a bit upset that we had to take a detour that delayed our return home." "Earth" said.

"Oh well good for you buddy, and don't worry we're heading straight home now with no more stops." "War" said.

"Captain we need to make a stop." One of the deckhands told "War".

"Why?" "War" asked with an annoyed look on his face. "This better be good."

"Um you see when we left Vercheg we only anticipated leaving and coming straight back our extra detour has left us low on fuel so we need to stop at the nearest refueling station."

"Man this day just keeps getting worse, do what you have to do but make it quick."

"Yes Sir!"

"Man I've had it up to here with this nonsense. I'm going to have a merienda, "Wolf" take all those snacks and tea and bring it to my cabin." "War" said.

"War" was joined with most of the team and after they finished eating they realized that they had been docked for several hours.

"What the heck are those guys doing? I thought you said it wouldn't take that long?" "War" asked annoyed.

"Yes it's highly unusual for it to take this long." "Wind" said, "A trained imperial crew should take less than 30 minutes to refuel a ship of this size."

"Then what's the deal? I'm going out there!" "War" said fed up with the situation.

When "War" and the rest of the 7 Elements went outside the ship they discovered that there was no one to be found in the entire facility.

"What's going on here? Man this day can't get any worse." "War" said.

"Don't worry about the crew they aren't dead we just had them go somewhere else for a bit." A woman's voice echoed out of the darkness.

Five women appeared in front of them and the woman in front began to speak.

"We're Amazon Rouge and I'm sorry to say but we've been hired to kill you all." She said.

"Eh, this day just got even worse." "War" said with an annoyed face.
