LOCATION : BOUNTY HUNTERS ASSOCIATION HQ, PLANET SKRULL. Leonidas and August were seated in the latter's office as the former's phone rang. Leonidas answered the transmission. "Yes." He said in a cold tone. His current vexed state was as a result of a transmission prior to this one. He had learnt that his plans to destroy Buukatraz and with it, the Black Stallion crew was foiled. "Leo." It was thr voice of a woman. "Zara, I heard you also failed to take out our enemies." "Minor setbacks, I won't stop until I bring the Black Stallion crew to their knees and crush my sister's hopes!" Leonidas smiled maliciously. "Good, and to help you on your crusade, I'll be sending someone even Jackal Knight won't expect to see." "Thankyou." With that, the transmission ended. August chucked afterwards. "What's so funny?" Leonidas darts him a killer look. "Oh nothing," He said trying to control his laughter. "It's just great to see someone else fail in capturing Jackal Knight for a change."
LOCATION :BOUNTY HUNTERS ASSOCIATION HQ, PLANET SKRULL. "I'll be on my way then." August was escorting Leonidas to his cruiser. It was a Silver colored cruiser with the head of a lion in its front and the logo of the BSA on both sides. "So, this is the Silver Mane." August said to himself. "Have you heard of the Flag Masters summit being held in two weeks?" Asked Leonidas as they paused in front of the cruiser. "Unfortunately," Said August sounding annoyed. "All the Flag Masters have to present including the Grand Flag Master. That old coot barely shows his face." "So I've heard. I've never met him in person haha, I'll be looking forward to seeing the Blind Death. I'm not too excited about the other Flag Masters. Most of them still haven't accepted me as one of their own." "I wonder Why's that." "That sarcastic attitude of yours won't land you a woman." "I had a woman! Or at least, I had someone I wanted to be my woman. Until your captain took her away from me weeks ago
LOCATION : MILKY-WAY GALAXY, PLANET EARTH. Ryker, Peck and Jackal were seen walking through the busy streets of a city. They wore cloaks to conceal their identities. "This place is..." Ryker drops his jaw as he was left dumbfounded by the scenery in front of him. The city was in every way a futuristic city with multiple advanced technologies. One of which were the hovering vehicles. "It's beautiful!" Ryker exclaimed. "Welcome to earth, snow-white. The first planet to invent space travel millenniums ago." "This is where Sal grew up." Peck added. "I've got to admit, this is better than waiting in the cruiser." The Black Stallion crew's original plan was to wait in the cruiser until Salazar locks on to their signal.That was until Ming pointed out that the psychic might not be interested in meeting them at all. The crew ended up deciding to check out his home planet and visit the village he was born on. "Here we are." They paused in front of a train."This train will take us to
"So, Sal is with the Oracle Crew." Ryker, Jackal and Peck had returned to the Black Stallion to convey their findings to the others. "That's right, we're a step closer to finding him." Jackal states. "Something feels off here." Said Ming. Heads turned to her. "Sal's psychic powers allows him to feel our presence as long as we're in the samr galaxy, why hasn't he reached out to us." "Probably has something to do with the Oracle crew." The one who spoke was Kinkaid. "The Oracle crew were dubbed as the Five Vices. Five space pirate crew that rocketed to the top of the criminal empire in the span of 5 years." He smacked his lips. "I'd like to face them." "Five Vices?" Jackal, Ryker and Peck tilted their heads. "Never heard of them." They said in unison. "Peck I understand. Jackal too since we have been away, but how is it possible for a hunter to not know about the Five Vices?" Ming darts Ryker a disgusted look. He scratches his head laughing sheepishly. "I didn't pay attention d

"This place again?"Ryker found himself back inside the astral plane."What's happening?" He clenched his head. "Last thing I recall wa- Ack!!" He felt a jolt of unbearable pain.Crying out in pain, the ex-hunter held grabbed his head and squatted."Huhuhu. It's time.""Who's there!" Ryker shouted, still suffering from the striking and increasing headache."It's been what? 2 weeks since you were here and you've already forgotten about me. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can't say I'm not disappointed vessel."Ryker raised his head and in front of him was the faceless humanoid being he met when he first entered the astral plane."It's you," He said weakly. "The Etherian.""Bingo!""What's happening outside?""You're attacking your friends.""What?" He widened his eyes."The power I planted inside of you has awakened.""Power? What power.""Well, one of the powers actually."The Etherian walked circles around Ryker with his hands rested behind his back."The pain you're feeling, it's the bonding proce
It was a stare of between the former captain of the Valhalla clan and the captain of the Red Soul clan. "I'll be damned if I let some coward take my Cobby away from us!""Coward!?" Tommaso hardened his gaze.Rex smirked seeing that his words had an effect on him. "We all say it." He shrugged."You disbanding Valhalla to save yourself from Ace. If that's not cowardly, I don't know what is?"Tommaso clenched his fist. He wanted to strike Rex in the face then and there but he glance behind him and saw Scott and Cobby readying themselves for a fight. Even he would have a hard time fighting 3 of them provided that Gou was with him at the moment and that they're tired and have used a large portion of their ain. "Not yet." He thought to himself. "All I have to do is to stall until they arrive."He darts Rex a murderous look and smiled. The smile was nothing short of that of a character from a horror movie. Even Rex felt uneasy seeing the look Tommaso was wearing."What makes you think tha
