"Are you sure you want to take your meal in your room Master Ryker?" Aleister had just handed Ryker a tray of food.
The ex-hunter decided that he would not be joining the crew for dinner.
Ryker nods at the wizard. "You got that right, pointy ears. The last thing I want is to seat at the same table as that association scum."
"Very well then," Aleister sighed. "Enjoy your meal." He said exiting the room.
Ryker leaned on his bed with his legs crossed. "I thought he'd never leave."
He munched down on his food without a single worry.
Although he told the wizard his reasons for not eating with them. He didn't tell him everything.
"There's no way I'm eating at that cursed table..."
He looked over at the clock in his room. "Any minute now..."
As if on cue, a loud explosion came fro
The prison planet Buukatraz was about twice the size of a large continent.Being one of the three great prison planets in the cosmos, it boasts an impenetrable fortress where the most notorious criminals were kept."Alright, I'll go about this one more time. The person we're going to burst out is on the highest floor of the fortress where the most dangerous criminals are being kept." Jackal explained to the crew.Ryker raises his hand as if they were in a class and Jackal was the teacher."Yes, Snow-white?""I've got just one question as it seems everyone here is mentally unstable to say what needs to be said. How in the cosmos do you expect us to break into the Buukatraz fortress!?""Simple," Said Jackal. "We knock on their front door.Ryker plopped to the ground. As the ex-hunter got back to his feet, he looks at the others.He pointed at Kinkaid with his thumb."I get the psycho being chi
The people gathered around the burnt body of the Sniper Saint watched as a bright golden light enveloped him. Kisha was a user of the Light element and has the unique ability to heal fatal wounds."We've been at this for an hour now," Reed's impatience was evident in his tone as he folds his arm. "Are you sure he's not dead?" "Let's hope he's not dead..." Ace walked over to face Reed. "For all of your sakes."The two brothers exchanged glares and turned their gaze toward the Sniper Saint after they heard him coughing. "Jacob!"Ace, Harold, and Reginald gathered around Kisha and the Sniper Saint. He tried to speak but was stopped by Kisha. "Don't... Stress... Yourself... Not... Done..."She then glances at Ace and Reginald and the three of them nodded their heads unbeknownst to everyone around them. "Full... Burst:Heal... Pulse!" She declared as the light around Jacob grew bigger blinding everyone around the place momentarily.The lights dimmed down and the Sniper Saint was ful
"This is insane." Ryker scanned the place that was about to become a battlefield. The number of guards present was 5 times larger than the guards they defeated to get here. The majority of the guards were armed with either low-grade magical weapons or Astro techs sponsored by the association. A minority were seen carrying weapons forged with Fellium ore. The biggest issue wasn't the guards, but the man leading them. "I don't need any sensory abilities to tell he's strong," Ryker said to himself. "Is it because of my Black astral awakening?"It was true that since awakening his black astral, his battle senses have improved."Are you getting cold feet?" Ming asked. Ryker responded with a smirk. "Me? Cold feet? I'll be honest, a few months ago, I'll be shitting my pants if I was in the same situation. But that's then and this is now. If anything, these chumps should be the ones getting cold feet.""Of course, you won't get cold feet Rykes," Kinkaid intervened. "You fought me didn't
"Come on, don't slow me down!" Ryker and Kinkaid were running through the stairs."You try running up these stairs while carrying a giant scythe.""Shut up and run, we're almost through the 4th floor, Peck is on the 5th floor!" "Meteor Crash!" "Huh?" The two paused in their tracks as a mini-sized Meteor came falling in their direction. "Move it!" Kinkaid pushed Ryker out of the way as the Meteor went past them crashing into the floor beneath them. It created a hole deep enough for them to see to the first floor."That was close..." Said Ryker. "You're welcome." "I didn't remember saying thank you!" The ex-hunter snapped. "Enough of that," Kinkaid grinned as he looked above them where the attack came. "We have guests." They saw two figures looking below them from the top staircase. They jumped to their floor landing a few feet away from them. One of them was large and bulky, the other had a thin physique and wore a mask that covered his nose and mouth. "My my, how the great
"Huff. Huff." Ryker was covered with dozens of cut wounds. "Hahahahaha!" Varis laughed maniacally as he appeared in front of the ex-hunter. "Yield and I might just spare your life." Ryker's responded with a light chuckle and a smirk making Varis grit his teeth. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise I was telling a joke. Maybe I should stop using this dagger I picked up on our way here." Varis tosses the dagger he was holding. He then raises his hand and channels his astral energy until an energy blade was formed. Ryker gasped. 'He created an astral blade?' " Hahaha! Judging by your reaction, I'd say you've only started learning about the basics of using astral." 'Unlike astral projection where the user emits their astral energy out of their body, he emits his astral energy and keeps it attached to a part of his body while shaping said energy, incredible.' Ryker noted to himself. "Scared now?" Varis puffed his chest. "With my astral blade and flash steps, I am untouchable."
LOCATION: BHA HQ, PLANET SKRULL.Inside the office of the Flag master was August having a smoke while looking over a paper.He hears a knock and puts out the smoke. "Come in." A man walks through which made August wear a disgusted look."What are you doing here?" "My my, is that a way to talk to your fellow Flag Master, August?" The man standing in front of August was none other than Flag Master Leonidas."You may wear the uniform of a Flag Master but mind you," August adjusts his monocle. "You're still the same criminal scum who got involved with Jackal Knight." Leonidas walked closer and seats at the desk. "If I recall, I wasn't the only one who had a history with Jackal." "Grr, our cases are different. He was my mentor and friend before he defected. You were his vice-captain before you changed sides.""I saw an opportunity and took it, as an opportunist, that's what we do." He stated as he picks up the cigarette box on the desk and took a stick."Would you mind?" He said to A
"Hurry up slowpoke!" Ryker yelled at Kinkaid who treading behind him."Geez, give me a break Rykes, using my psychic powers takes a toll on me!" The usually cheerful Kinkaid snapped back. "We're here." Ryker paused. The two of them plopped to their knees to catch their breaths. They noticed a door in front with a caution sign on it."Do you think he's here?" Askes Kinkaid. "Top floor, danger sign. Nah, I think a mermaid is on the other side of the door." Kinkaid's eyes lit up. "Mermaid! I've never seen one." Ryker facepalmed. "Have you never heard of the term sarcasm before?" Kinkaid tilted his head. Just as he was about to speak... "Never mind, don't answer that," Ryker said getting back to his feet. "Let's go." Kinkaid followed suit. "The man we came to free is on the other side of that room." They gave each other silent nods and opened the door. What awaited them was a dark cell room. "This place is giving me weird vibes." Both Ryker and Kinkaid cringed. "I can't believe
"Peck!" Ming runs up to the bulky man. "Haha!" He laughs triumphantly with his hands folded. "Ming," He grins. "It's so good to se-" The android cut him off by running into him and embracing him. "You look skinny," She said. "What have they been feeding you?" Peck smiled faintly as he pats her head. "One chocolate bar. Sometimes a day, sometimes a week and most times, monthly." Ryker dropped his jaw. "What do you mean he's skinny!?" He exclaims expressing his shock. Ming darts the ex-hunter a killer gaze. "That's all you heard in our conversation?" She said separating herself from Peck. "Forget the fact that he's a monster who can go months without so much as a decent meal except a single chocolate bar... What do mean he's skinny!?"Ming facepalmed as Peck bursts into laughter. "I see we've got new crewmates?" He grins staring at Ryker, Kinkaid and Aleister. "Unfortunately..." Ming rolled her eyes. "Grr." "Kikiki." Aleister walks over to Peck and bows. "It is an honour to
