Under Attack

Hello, my faithful readers. That's right, I've finally decided to write a sequel. My story "Getting In Too Deep" was very popular and a lot of people were demanding a sequel so I began thinking. What would I even put in a sequel and still make it in Silver's Point Of View? That's when I thought of a perfect idea and I just had to get started straight away.

Enjoy!

Two year... It's been exactly two whole years since I gave up my life of piracy. My old pirate crew were all hung for the mutiny except for Scroop. I had pushed that Spider-Psycho into the lava back on Treasure Planet when he had been close to killing Jim.

Jimbo...

I had met up with that teen a year ago. I revealed my past and how I received my cyborg parts. In return, the young lad opened up and shared a piece of his past involving his father. I wanted to live with him on Montressor. He was the reason I gave up the life of a pirate. But... I was an outlaw, it's something I couldn't change. I could only hope that one day, Jimbo and I would cross paths again. But for now... It was my turn to change my life and be somebody.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a planet to live on. Every place I landed on, 10 seconds later, the police would be chasing after me. I hadn't done anything wrong in two years, but the authorities were still running after me. All because of that mutiny back on the R.L.S Legacy. When would they let that event go? At one point, I was considering going back to Montressor and staying at Jim's Inn. But had to wave that thought away. I didn't want to cause any more problems.

My story began when I was just minding my own business, flying my small ship through the etherium. It was so peaceful, not a single ship in sight. I embraced the quietness. A light breeze swept past me. It was a change in weather from the usual hot nights. I was thankful to receive a little bit of cool air for once.

A loud bang broke into my calm sailing, whipping around at the direction the noise came from. A bright purple light shone in the distance, squinting my mismatched eyes at the strange scene. The ball of light drew closer and closer until finally, I knew exactly what it was - A laser ball.

Eyes wide, I frantically turned the steering wheel, attempting to miss the attack. Unfortunately, I had acted too late, the laser ball struck the side of my ship. The ground violently shook as I tried to keep my balance. "Blast it!" I shouted. I glared as a large ship ascended from the fog. It was twice the size of my small ship. With just me on board, I was no match for them. I had to escape and fast.

The other ship was firing at me with everything they had, I could already see my precious ship turning into rubble. I needed to make a fast gettaway. But how was I supposed to do that? I couldn't exactly fight back. All those men against me, I would be lucky just to survive. Pulling down a lever, my ship's speed quickened, soaring across the galaxy. Gazing behind me, I scrowled as I noticed the bigger ship was still on my tail. Those guys don't give up, do they?

I avoided blasts left, right and centre. My breathing came out in thick gasps and my body ached in exhaustion. I couldn't keep this up forever. The large ship was now riding at my side, it looked like we were racing each other. I sneered at them. Before I could stop myself, my cyborg arm switched to a pistol, taking fire at the other team. A successful smile crossed my face as the laser ball made contact with their sail. But as quickly as the smile came, it vanished just as fast. Obviously not happy about the damage, they took fire at me once again. But instead of aiming at my ship, the pistol were actually directed at me this time.

I was able to avoid the blasts, not easily though. For a second, I thought they had ran out of ammo so I proceeded to steer my ship away. In the blink of an eye, I was lying on my back, staring up at the dark sky, clutching my side in pain. After that, everything was a blur. I remembered seeing the stars passing by so quickly and the wind picking up. I no longer heard the gun fire. Instead, it sounded like angry voices, fading into the background. My eyes automatically closed on me, enjoying the peacefulness once again.

Sorry for the short chapter! The next one will be longer, I promise! Please leave a review and tell me what you think so far.
