章 319: Space Pirates? No, Killer Droids!
Crynn POV
"How the hell did this happen?!" I shouted in rage as I stepped out of the burning wreckage in with a bloody hand! God that hurt! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Shit! I thought to myself as I swerved left barely avoiding the rounds of fire specifically targeted towards me! Bang! Bang! Bang! Fortunately for me, I had better f*cking aim!
Now, how the hell did this happen?!

"Want some wine, Crynn?" Calian held up a slim bottle of deep purple liquid, the strong smell of grapes invaded my nostrils from the open bottle top. The last time I drank some of that, even with the smell of grapes, it tastes nothing like them so... "No thank you, I have already drank some... refreshments."
"Only you would call a glass of water as refreshments, Crynn," Aria spoke with a glint on her eyes. "I would like a cup," V dangled an extra wine glass by her fingers, bringing it to Calian's side as he smoothly poured a generous portion in. "This is weird..." Jill broke her silence, brows lifted in confusion and suspicion.
"What's weird?" I inquired as I looked out the window to the black void filled with a multitude of colored stars, shining upon the blank regions of space. "Look at the moon route on my screen. It displays the distance between the spaceship and our destination. The problem I see is, this jet's not moving," Jill explained and it got me thinking, why would the jet not be moving?
Could the moon route be faulty, highly unlikely for such a flight. Then, space debris blocking our spaceship? Also not quite the plausible reason to suspect... Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! What was that? I could've sworn I just heard some barely noticeable puncture sounds. From the front of this jet.
"Passengers on board the flight, we are under attack, I repeat, we are under attack, the pilots are downed!" All of a sudden, the loud and terrified voice of a stewardess was heard throughout the entire plane by the speakers, holy shit, what have we gotten ourselves into! "Everyone stay calm, I'm one of the Air Marshals on board, do not panic!"
A brown skinned man sitting a couple of alphabets in front of us stood up, trying to soothe everyone but the pistol on his right hand doesn't necessarily help to that. "What's going on," V worriedly questioned with her eye coursing everywhere and clearly as alarmed as any passenger currently on the flight.
"Jill?" Calian asked as she held a hand up and a finger on her lips, universal sign of silence. Then, Jill silently extracted a handgun from her, I presume inventory as she stretched out to secretly hand the weapon over to V. "Hide it until we need to us it if things doesn't get in control," Jill whispered down V's ear as she laid back on her seat, coolly.
"Are we about to be hijacked by space pirates," Aria contemplated aloud as frantically tapped her lap. "No ma'am, I don't think so. Space pirates only attack commercial vessels and transport units or small space stations. We are an exclusive UCU flight with a warning system for unidentified ships to steer clear."
"No space pirate would dare attack us," apparently, the air marshal, or should I say, space marshal heard Aria and gave a clarification though it doesn't lessen our worries. "Everyone, please do be calm. I and the rest of the air marshals have already alerted headquarters of this unsettling news," as soon as the air marshal finished his words, the plane shook as I felt something magnetic connecting to the sides of the jet.
Is someone boarding? The thought passed my mind as sudden screeching noises invaded the interior. The sounds of razor sharp metal cutting! "Everyone, stay in your seats, don't move," the air marshal warned as I peeked out to find one of the side doors is almost breeched through. Oh boy, this is not good, thank God the perpetrators aren't aiming in destruction or all of us would've died.
The cutting stopped as a loud kicking bang ensued! The door flew right off its hinges and hit the wall, causing a slight dent to form. "This? Space pirates do not use robots!" The air marshal made one last exclamation before the entire scenery descended into a slew of gunfire! And yes, the perpetrators are robots.
Metallic, boxed shaped, dark colored, all the features of a killer droid! "Have any pistols left to share, Jill?! Cause I ain't got any!" I hushed at her as she materialized another pistol, throwing it over for me to catch! "How's the air marshal?!" Calian called for us to check further situation above the seats as Aria lifted her head to the side!
"Air marshal's down!" Well, rest in peace, looks like we'd have to take the fight to our own hands! "How many robots are there?!" Jill turned to ask as more rounds grazed past our seats, some scraping off the top parts! "I'm counting three, all in a straight column on the aisle!" V went and shouted, do these robots have infinite ammunition?! Give us our turn to shoot Goddammit!
"Okay, you said three on a straight aisle?!" Aria spoke as she reluctantly and instantaneously stood up, both her hands on her laser blaster and her eye on the scope! Pew! Pew! Pew! The gunfire stopped??? I slowly approached upwards, my eye appearing through the back of my front's seat to survey outward condition.
Three robots, three searing red holes in each of their chests... Clank! The robots fell in a domino motion, their original glowing red eyes deactivating. "Nice shooting, Ariane," even Jill had to compliment her for her aim is just extraordinary! "We need to get out of here! We need to regain control of the jet!" V scrambled out of her seat, her two hands gripped upon Calian's shoulders, shaking him relentlessly.
"We need to get to the cockpit! Immediately!"
