Somewhere on the dwarf planet, closer to Proxima B, 2 lightyears away from the Null void E15, Natch D. A blue big pirate spaceship, 500 meters long, filled with artillery and machinery and painted in white.
13 staff members who were humanoids and mutants, except for the boss, who was from a rare planet. A red room, where the boss and subordinates were discussing how to increase their income.
One of the mutant subordinates said: "Boss, our source says the Igrius' youngest prince is in Natch D, Null void E 15. Surprisingly, 4 million sols are on his head."
The boss was sitting in the reddest and highest spinning chair of all to show his subordinates that he was the dictator of this ship.
"We should go and collect our bounty," the boss chuckled and ordered his subordinate.
"Boss, it will take 66 hours even if we go the speed of light, but our ship is less flashy and slower, so it will take 55 hours." The subordinate glanced at the fuel meters and frowned.
The subordinate continued: "If we take a
spacegate and move at the fastest speed of our ship still it will take the same hour." The boss had an impatient nature so they had to explain everything in a detailed manner. However, only 1 spacegate was available but it was in the construction process.
"Then move your ass."
"Boss, but we need to fill our gas first."

On the other side of space, Augustya was sprinting for a physical examination.
Natch D developed in a few years like they had a field, a swimming pool, a gravity room, and a large gym to train their fighters. In the clear pitch-black sky the moons were not visible. The luminous bulbs had lighted the ground.
"Faster," Julie shouted at him as she was training him for the physical examination.
"Augustya, breathe properly." Zekrom was cheering beside her.
Julie shifted her gaze to the clown who was coating himself with a layer of accessories and asked: "Are you participating in the circus now?" Julie sneered.
He wore Augustya's black shades, coating himself with lots of moisturizer that made his skin oily and put on a big wooden hat.
"Can't you see I am pampering my skin and also cheering up my friend."
"A friend who left him alone in the Natch E, stole his food and gave him a lot of trouble. Yeah! you are a perfect example of toxicity," Julie said with a straight face.
Zekrom flinched a little.
She continued: "He even paid off your debt."
He moved further away from Julie as her sharp tongue would roast him alive.
A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Ahh, ahhh, ahhhhh!" She sang in a high note of more than 300 decibels. That came out from her mouth and fumbled Zekrom's wheelchair and ears.
Additionally, everyone shivered as they heard the loudest sound in 1 second.
Because of the soundwaves he got distracted and stumbled on the ground.
Earthling whales have 190 decibels. In that comparison, the sound was enough to break someone's eardrums.
"Have you gone mad?" Zekrom screamed, which was 70 decibels.
"Go and race with him. Stop relying on your crutches."
Zekrom knew himself that his legs were already fine, however he liked to give his butt some rest. Augustya came over, drenched in sweat.
"Water."
Julie passed over a water bottle to him.
For the physical examination process, a trainer would test the fighter's endurance, balance and fighting spirit. If he was not qualified then he would be sent to different jobs. Good thing that Augustya was pretty flexible and smart.
"Meg, give me the data of my last sprint."
→Your sprint is worse than the last two laps. You finished 400 meters in 2 minutes 30 seconds. ← A holographic image appeared in front of their eyes.
"Bad. You need to improve," Julie said with disappointed eyes.
Augustya gulped the glucose liquid and sat down on the bench to steady his breath and heart.
"You need a man to train another man." A familiar and low pitched voice echoed in their ears.
Three of them turned around where the sound came from and saw a tall man around 6.4 feet with a muscular body and a stone-like face.
"Boy, how are you feeling?"
Zekrom stood on his legs and took a defensive position.
"Go away, you scoundrel. Traitor!" Zekrom growled.
"Ladies, I am not here to fight," Stoney said and raised his hands in the air to show he had no intention of fighting.
He continued: "I am here to train the boy for his next challenge." Therefore, neither of them were convinced with this act.
Julie and Zekrom exchanged glances and nodded.
"SEEEE THE BASTARDDDDDD!" Julie sang in a high note, which was the loudest from the previous.
→Warning! Warning! This can damage your eardrum.←
In the blink of an eye, Zekrom swiftly punched his belly hard.
*Clank* However, his fists tasted the solid rock that made his bones quiver
"Yikesss!" Zekrom quickly withdrew from him as his knuckle vibrated like a bell.
"What are you made of?" Zerkrom asked in anger.
"Stone. ^…^" He continued: "Augustya, can we talk alone?"
Augustya stepped off the bench and nodded his head. Others were a little hesitant but Augustya gave reassurance.
"He will not hurt me," Augustya said while still guarding himself.
Both of them walked away further from the ground. Augustya watched his face every few seconds and observed his body language.
"What do you want to talk about?" Augustya stopped in a corner, a little further from the jokers.
"Hmm!" Stoney hesitated a little, but finally words escaped from his mouth.
"I am sorry on behalf of what my friend did to you. He is a little nerd psychopath when he learnt that you killed Gan. He couldn't sleep all day and night. Thanks to you I won the bet." Stoney blurted out everything in one breath.
Finally, his plan succeeded as he had anticipated from the beginning. Augustya thought of many scenarios for what would happen if he killed Gan. If he was caught by the intergalactic force then his life would be miserable.
After 6-7 scenarios, he decided to become a victim himself. What Augustya didn't predict was Pancho's betrayal. Nevertheless, he learnt many things from this.
"Okay!" Augustya exclaimed, keeping his nonchalant look.
"Kid, this is for you." He threw a bundle of cash towards him. Hence, Augustya caught it with little hesitation.
"Why? Why are you giving me this?"
Pancho answered: "This is what you earned. 5k sols."
"I can't take this." He refused it with a straight face.
"This is your hard-earned money."
"No, I can't accept that."
Augustya knew if he took the money, those hungry foxes would steal it from him for sure.
"But you can transfer to my account," Augustya said with a happy grin.

After training, two boys were chilling in the cafeteria and enjoying the instant noodles. The room was dimly lit, and only a few inmates were present.
Augustya asked in a lower voice: "Umm, did you find him?"
"Your girlfriend?" He glared at him and crossed his hands. "Be serious and tell me if you find that bastard. "
Zekrom rubbed his chin as his lips curved slightly. "Of course. I did, but I am not giving it to you that easily."
He took a pause before saying: "What do you want?"
"Access to Meg!"
"No!" Augustya declined quickly as he knew that the idiot would use this as a toy.
Augustya was aware of Zekrom's personality and tricks, so this was a no-no for him.
"Didn't I pay off your debt and even save you from Julie? So you owe me, Zekrom."
Zekrom flinched and felt dejected a little.
He drank the last bit of juice and replied in a cold manner: "Segal was on the ground floor and tied in a particular room. Only a doctor and nurse are allowed to go there."
Segal was the notorious man who was part of the plot to poison his brother, Vermaish Pandora. He even slit Zekrom's father's throat. After many trials and hearings at the international galactic court, the judge sentenced him to life imprisonment. For that Segal leaked a little information about the enemy.
"Hmm, knowing you, you already found a way to get there."
"Maybe or not!"
"You are not going to tell me. I am the one who helps you when everyone leaves you," Augustya said in a disappointed voice.
As usual, Zekrom was still hiding his plan from him. Sometimes, Augustya felt that they actually could not trust each other.
"August, you know I have never told you this. You are way stronger and smarter than me, enough to kill anyone. But I want to kill him with my own hands," Zekrom said in a serious manner. His eyes were eerie, as he clenched his fist tightly.
"Hmm!" He opened his mouth and said: "If you think I am smarter than you, why are you hiding and deceiving me?"
"Because I don't want you to blow up this building."
"°…°"
What Zekrom knew was something big enough that if he spilled it from his mouth then his step-brothers and himself would be dead.
Thinking of that, Zekrom shivered and said, "I should go."
"Congo, you are going to next chapter."
Hope you guys like this chapter.
