Chapter 4
"It looks like Sibir was going around stealing all the military robots in town with Pino's ability."
Rebecca and the rest of the group were currently in an alleyway as they were trying to see how much of the situation has changed. While this happened, Yuuki was acting as their lookout. With his hearing, if he detects anyone tries to go after them, he'll alert everyone. While this was going on, Pino spoke up.
"I thought I was saving robots from being abused, but however way you look at it, it seems even the military robots were being misused."
"It's okay now. They've all been turned over to the police."
"Except this town's police isn't suppose to be functioning."
"We got trouble guys! I hear a bunch of sirens heading this way!!!!!"
As they were running away, Yuuki grabbed onto Rebecca and Shiki's arms as he used his Ether Gear. While dashing at incredible speed, Yuuki couldn't help but sweatdrop when he heard Rebecca screaming and saying he was running to fast.
"Should I tell her that i'm actually moving slower than usual? After all, if I go full speed while holding them I might accidentally tear off a limb. Though that isn't important. We got to get out of here!!"
~Above ground~
As Pino, Happy, Rebecca, and Shiki were inside of the Aqua Wing (Rebecca's ship), they looked towards Yuuki who was lying on his back as Pino pats his head. He managed to shake off the police and make it back to the ship, though he was a little bit tired. Soon Rebecca sat in front of the controls.
"Thank you, Yuuki. We should be safe at this distance. We got a little side tracked but we're going back to Blue Garden. There might be someone in the guild who may know how to get us back to our time."
"This is bad, Becky. The police are right behind us!"
Just as Yuuki said this, the police began to shoot at Rebecca's ship. However, they still had a chance to escape. A 50 year-old model ship couldn't catch up to Rebecca's, all they had to do was go back in space and they'll have lost them. However, the moment they reached the clouds, Rebecca's ship couldn't go any further.
"Becky, what's going on?!"
"I don't know. It's like we're being pushed back by something. An unknown energy field, unable to analyze?! We're already at max power and we're still not moving."
"I was curious what a ship 50 years from the future would be like but it's a piece of junk."
As everyone turned around to find the source of that remark, they were surprised to see that it was the past version of Weisz. While Weisz was munching on some snacks, Happy was the first to question him.
"What are you doing here?"
"I needed to escape too. So how about I give you a little offer. Hand over this ship. Do that and i'll make it fly into space."
"You must be joking!! If you don't fly us into space you'll get caught too!"
"Rebecca, right? I'll be fine if I get caught. Plus I have an ID unlike all of you. So what are ya gonna do?"
As Rebecca was contemplating this, two things happened. First, Shiki agreed to hand him the ship. They needed a better one in order to find Mother anyways. The second thing that happened was Yuuki drop kicking Weisz into the back of the controls.
"What was that for?!"
"We said we'd give you the ship so get us out of here. If we get caught i'll use my Ether Gear to rupture your eardrums."
"Yuuki can be pretty scary."
As everyone else shared that thought, Weisz soon sat down at the controls. In a matter of seconds, he began to use his own Ether Gear. As everyone heard the ship shuddering, Yuuki was covering his ears as the loud noise was unbearable.
"I don't believe it."
"What is he doing Pino?"
"This man...he's remodelling the ship in real time!!!!"
"Done! Ether Jet, online!!!!!"
As they were now in space, everyone was relaxed. They managed to escape Norma and avoided being arrested. The moment they left the planet, Rebecca suddenly got a call.
"It's Professor Weisz!"
"Me?"
"My, you youngsters never read the news do you?"
"You all didn't experience a time slip. I'd put it as another timeline in space."
"Professor...can you dumb it down fot us?"
"You all didn't move through time. You visited a planet who's time got stolen. A monster ate 50 years worth of Norma's time. It's a monster that feasts on the time of planets. It's called a Chronophage. A planet that has been affected by this beast will have their time rewinded. There is no way to undo this. It just becomes a reality where Norma is 50 years back in space."
"The Chronophage causes confusion in space by creating two histories like this. It's the big disaster. You've got no guarantee you'll live this long, Young Weisz. You are your own person. You need.....path......trust....."
Before the professor could finish speaking, the connection was cut off due to signal interference. Before the group had time to process what they just learned, they saw an enormous ship in front of them.
When Rebecca and Happy saw the flag on the ship, they instantly knew who owned the ship. Soon a look of horror was plastered onto their faces.
"Space Pirates!"
"Space Pirates....so cool!!!!!"
"Shiki....Becky...Nyanmaru...keep it down..I have a headache."
"ARE ALL OF YOU INSANE?!"
Just as the young Weisz said this, the ship they were travelling on was suddenly trapped inside of a sphere as they were being pulled in towards the other ship.
The moment their ship entered Elsie's, the sphere trapping them disbursed as everyone was being tossed around in the ship while Shiki was sticking onto the wall with his Ether Gear and was perfectly fine. When everyone looked ahead, they saw a holographic screen displaying the woman who captured them.
"Welcome aboard my warship, the Skull Fairy. I am the captain of this ship, Elsie. We have taken control of your ship."
Everyone had a different reaction to this situation. While Weisz was admiring Elsie's appearance, Happy and Rebecca were in fear. Meanwhile, Shiki and Yuuki were blank faced for the moment as Pino stood in silence. A smile appeared on Elsie's face as she looked at the crew.
"First, I should commend you for escaping Norma. The cloud-like barrier you have passed through is a space-time wall. It's the remnants of a planet eaten by a Chronophage. Only very skilled pilots can escape from that. Though only idiots would get caught so easily by our tractor beam."
"What do you want, Habanero?"
Rebecca and Happy looked at Yuuki like he was crazy. It was one thing to go against someone like Elsie, but to also give her a weird nickname. It was like he was asking for trouble. Meanwhile, Shiki stood next to him as he wanted an answer too.
"Hmm. Plunder, of course. And war. Eat and sleep. Then plunder some more. With that, you all belong to me now. I will now head to the planet Guilst and sell you. Behave until then."
"Guilst? Isn't that a fun place?"
"It was 50 years ago. Now it's infamous for being a hive of scum and villainy. Murder, robbery, even human trafficking."
"We'll plunder this pirate ship. Your ship will be ours! Man i've always wanted a big ship, talk about lucky."
"I'm with you on this, Shiki. Besides, one of the things Habanero said really rubbed me the wrong way. I refuse to be owned. Never again."
"You'll plunder my ship from me, you say?"
"That's right Habanero. You did this to us first, so it's only fair to expect a resistance."
"You think you can make it all the way here. Interesting. Take a left and head straight. I'm two floors above. That is, if you can make it."
The moment the transmission cut off, Shiki ran out Rebecca's ship with Yuuki close behind him. Meanwhile, the others couldn't help but think this was a bad situation.
"I'd expect this much from Shiki, but Yuuki too?"
"But Happy, this is indeed one way to break out of our predicament."
"Pino, Happy. I understand what you're saying. With how strong those two are, we might have a chance to escape. But we're dealing with Elsie Crimson."
~Meanwhile~
As Shiki and Yuuki ran into the ship. Yuuki suddenly came to a stop. He heard something similar to a heartbeat. When he looked ahead, it looked as if the ship was some sort of nest as it looked like there were organ-looking eggs all around him and Shiki.
"Man this place is giving me the creeps."
"Shiki, up ahead!!!!"
When Yuuki and Shiki looked forward. They saw several men approaching them as if they were zombies. Just as the two boys were ready to fight, they quickly jumped to opposite sides as they avoided a tentacle. When they looked at the group ahead of them, they saw all of there arms replaced with tentacles.
"Are they space octopuses? Awesome!!!!"
"Damn...now i'm craving takoyaki!"
As Yuuki blasted the crew back with the power of his voice being increased, Shiki used his Ether Gear to have him fall towards some of the crew as he either delivered a punch or a kick to their skulls.
"Space is so awesome!!!!!"
"Looks like we've reached our destination, Shiki!!!!!"
As Yuuki said this, Shiki and himself saw a door ahead of them. As they went through it, they saw one woman standing before them with her back turned towards them.
"Red head/Habanero!!!!!"
"My name is Elsie Crimson. The one who surpasses the Demon King...I've wanted to meet you, Code:Breaker. And you....."
