Year **21, in the ****** sector, on planet ******, the Origen family were getting ready to take off and go back to their own sector when the Duke noticed that his son wasn't with them. Looking at a random maid he asked "Where is my son?" Flustered the maid stuttered "Th-The last time I was him sir was ten minutes ago sir. H-He was with Miss Soreen sir, they seemed to be having a good time together." The Duke considered this "That's fine, they've been friends since childhood. In ten more minutes tell him it's time to go." he instructed. "Ye-Yessir!" the maid stammered before running off in a direction.
--------
Kid Denote-Origen, the proclaimed genius of his generation, was currently working on a new multi-use suit with his childhood friend Soreen Feanine of the Feanine dukedom, another genius. "I think we've done it!" Kid shouted in excitement. "So cute!" Soreen couldn't help herself but started hugging Kid because of his small stature. Kid was short for his age but refused to go through with any of the body changing tech because he believed that he was already good looking and loved how he looked because he got most of his mom's genes. He was 5'4", blue hair with half white-half black tips. light brown skin, slightly pointed ears, and golden freckles. The thing that catches most people's eyes is his slightly pointed ears, which represent elvish blood, and his purple eyes that can make many people get lost in them.
"GAH! you are killing me!" he gasped for air while trying to push Soreen away. Soreen was a beautiful girl even for a high elf, She had red rose gold hair, a beautiful peach skin tone, and green eyes that were normal high elf eye color, but the iris was what was odd, were the fact that they were silver. This small detail caused her father to think that Soreen's mom was cheating on him. After being set into a different mansion than the rest of her family and accused of being a bastard child she was lonely, all she did was study and train. Once she hit the age of 6, she was brought to a noble party because of her intelligence and skill. That day, for the first time, someone told her other than her mother that she had pretty eyes. That person just happened to be Kid, since then they were friends and hung out with each other.
Eventually, Soreen stopped and the two were going to continue but a maid came into the room. "Young Master, your father has said it's time to go." "Ok then, I guess we can do this another day." Kid slowly got up. He was tempted to ask for some more time, but he knew his father well and he was certain that he already had his mother on the ship. Just as he was going to leave, caught a silver light from the corner of his eye. Kid quickly looked over to see if his friend was alright, when he turned around he was tackled. "wha-" Soreen then planted a kiss on his lips "Good luck Note..." she whispered in his ear. Kid looked at her and noticed that there were slight tears in her eyes.
While Kid and the maid were walking to the ship, Kid stopped her with a blush but a serious tone "Don't tell mother, if she knows this she'll make a big deal about this." "Yes Young Master, as long as I'm not asked I won't mention it." Kid sighed 'close enough' he thought and continued their walk towards the ship.
---------
Standing next to the ship was the duke and the head butler "what took you two so long?" the duke asked. "Soreen and I were tweaking the suit which took longer than expected." Kid responded, "where's mom?" he quickly looked at the butler hoping he would change the subject. The duke noticed the subject change but didn't keep the matter going 'must've been intimate' "She's in her room if you want to talk to her then talk after we go into hyperdrive." the butler answered him.
The U.G. had the best technology in their universe, with the Insectoids having the most men. The two nations were at war for a millennium until their citizens became tired of all the bloodshed and eventually made a peace treaty. Some races were against it but were in the minority. The U.G. later found out that there were other universes and that eventually, they could communicate with them. After telling the Insectoids the two nations made a university that was all about universal travel. But this subject is for another time…
Once hyperdrive activated, Kid then went to his mother's room and knocked "Come in Kid." a soothing voice said after the knock. Entering Kid felt warmth when he heard her voice "How are you doing mom?" Kid's mother was a beautiful Undine that was, in fact, the princess of the undine family, when she met his father it was during their [Player Awakening]. It was said to be love at first sight and unlike the duke's friends, she was the only person he married and was loyal to a fault. When asked, the duke would say "She's the only one I need, she will give me everything I need or want." while Kid's mother would say "He is my love, why would I need anything else? Maybe children."
The duchess had bluish skin and golden freckles. blue skin was a signature look for undines, but freckles weren't especially golden ones, the Undine family considered it a marking of an extinct species. She also had dark blue hair color and was an exotic beauty.
"I'm doing fine why do you ask?" the duchess questioned with a tilt in her head. "It's important to ask a woman how they are doing once you begin a conversation." Kid answered with a serious tone, "When did my son become such a woman's man huh? sigh... How will I deal with all those women you get." the duchess muttered with a smirk. "Anyway, what did you have to ask me? you didn't just come here to flirt with your mother did you?" This caught Kid off guard " O-Of course not! I-I just wanted to show you the new suit Soreen and I finished. I call it Note II, It is the best of it's kind with many features and a light-weight build. We still need to field test it but I think it is ready." Kid excitedly while taking out the Note II suit. "Oh it is nice Note, is it space-proof? Does it have a reentry system? Is it able to exit planets gravitational pull?"
The duchess was just as excited as Kid because she knew that what her son made was revolutionary. People nowadays don't work on technological armor like this because a person can become a player and outdo almost whatever tech that anyone could make. The only things that couldn't be outdone were transport, farming. construction, and intelligence.
"Yes, no, yes, currently I'm working on the speed and what kind of material could undertake the capable hazards of exiting planets gravity and more but..." Kid spoke and continued to think of ideas until the duchess had an idea " what if it's biological, plenty of races shed. take the Insectoids for example. they have plenty of shed material don't know what to do with it. If not that then there is also dungeon material, not all material has to be from a rock." Kid listened to his mother carefully "you are right mom, that was very narrow-minded of me, I'll discuss this with Soreen when I get in contact with her again." The duchess then looked at her son with a playful smirk "So... Is Soreen your first harem member~ I noticed you talk about her a lot, are you two a thing now~" the duchess always seemed to know what to say to embarrass her son. "Wha- No! W-We are just work partners! And why do you think I'll have a harem!" a beet red Kid blundered ' do I look like I'll have one or something?' Kid thought. "Let's just call it a mother's intuition. Don't think I didn't notice the intimate scent of a girl on you, particularly your lips~. You just remind me of your grandpa?"
--------
While a mother was teasing her son, a father was watching all this from a halo screen. 'Should I join them? I would love to see that suit in action, maybe when we get home I'll ask him if we could test it out together. So that's why he took so long, maybe I could make it official and let her be his first wife. She's definitely smart, kind, and beautiful enough.' While all this was going on in his head a small alarm went off in one of the crew's screens. The member immediately spoke up "Sir, we have an unidentified ship coming right in front of us, it's blocking our flight path, sir." The duke immediately gave the order to slow the ship down. "Put me in communication with that ship" a crew member tried but failed, after a few more tries, he told the duke it wasn't working. "Ok then take it out, they shouldn't have gotten in the way." the duke instructed firmly, the crew were used to this and agreed with the duke about this.
Outside the ship, a ball-like object was activated and moved into position, pointed at the stationary ship in the way, and fired*. "Ok, now let's continue on home shall we?" the duke announced. The crew all agreed and were about to reactivate hyperdrive when ten more alarms went off! "Sir! we have ten more ships exiting hyperdrive! They all seem armed, what do we do!?" a crew member yelled in distress! "Battle stations everyone! We are being ambushed!" the duke then turned to a maid "You watch over my family!" the maid saluted and ran off to the other Origen family members.
-------
Kid and his mother were joking and playing around when all of a sudden a hard jerk caused some people to fall. Kid and the duchess weren't in that group and were able to balance themselves. Kid stepped out of the room and turned to a maid and asked what was going on, the maid told him that a ship got in the way and now they were going to destroy it. Knowing his father he just nodded his head and walked back in the room. 'I wonder what a ship was doing here?' but he didn't think too much of it because there was such a thing as space pirates. Most of them were ruthless killers that would steal from almost anyone, while some were fakes. Kid figured that the ship was just some fake pirates that went way over their heads when the battle alarms rang. He asked a butler this time and the butler quickly told Kid that he should quickly get to the safety pod with the duchess.
At that moment the same maid that walked Kid to the ship came bursting through the door "Ma'am, Young Master, the duke has instructed me to take you two to the pods." The maid spoke in a calm but firm voice which showed how serious the issue was. Both mother and son hurriedly went to the pods, the duchess entered and turned around just to hear a small shriek and the pod door shut. "Son! What are you doing!" the duchess noticed the maid faint, she looked at her son in surprise as he held a stick that had sparks coming from the top. "I noticed that she was looking around seemingly for no reason as if she was waiting for the right time. I'm guessing she was doing this so she could capture or possibly kill us, I'm pretty certain it's the former, the person who is causing all needs us for ransom and us dead won't help." Kid said calmly. The duchess was both surprised and shocked, surprised because she didn't notice this, mainly because she was too busy checking her surroundings for threats. And shocked because her son did notice this and somehow deducted the threat's reason. "Son, you know I could have taken care of whatever happened-" she began to talk but was interrupted "I also noticed that since last week you have been losing energy faster and also been having more food than before. So tell me how long has it been?" Kid spoke in a matter-of-fact tone with a tinge of curiosity. "I'll tell you when the time is right, but not now.'' The duchess tried to open the pod door but Kid shocked the panel making it stay shut. "I need to find out what is going on, I'm sorry mother but I'll have to disobey you just this once." he then ran off towards his father's direction.
--------
The duchess was stuck in the pod, she could easily break it open but when a player is pregnant, their strength becomes negligible, not only that the control panel was fried and if she forcibly opened it the pod's safety feature would activate and take off. The duchess pulled out a circular phone and called her husband, after a few moments he answered "What's wrong? Are you all alright? Is Kid with you?" the duke had a worried feeling in his voice. The duchess felt warmth hearing his voice but quickly snapped out of it 'now's not the time' she thought "I'm fine but Kid trapped me in the pod and ran to you, I just wanted to tell you that... And that we may have been ambushed by another important figure." she then told him about the traitor. This caused the duke to become furious "WHO DARES DO THIS! IF I FIND OUT WHO IT WAS I'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING THEY OWN!" the crew around him shivered from the aura he was emitting. "Calm down honey. You are most likely scaring the crew. Right now we need to find our son and keep him safe." the duchess spoke in a soothing voice which made the duke pull a full one-eighty, only his wife and son could do this. The crew sighed in relief 'Our duchess is a goddess' the crew said in their head and fully believed. The duchess continued "He also knows that I am pregnant." this caught the duke by surprise but then he remembered how clever his son was. "I would have been surprised if he didn't get it soon enough, anyhow need to find our son."
Kid figured that it would be dangerous, so he put on his new suit 'I hope this works like I think it will, [Note II] you are my pride and joy, don't fail me.' Taking the suit out his storage bracelet, the suit stood straight up, and after he showed his fingerprint on the armor's back and began to open up, it started from the spine and finished with the head and feet. Kid quickly got in and ran to his father, after a few corners later the ship suddenly rocked heavily. Kid ignored it and continued on his way, turning the last corners he saw that a hole was in the ship. Ships at this time have a safety feature that if a part of the ship was pierced, an energy barrier will close the hole.

The duke was currently fighting off three Tier-IIX players, Being a Tier-IX himself it would be relatively easy to outdo the men but not only was their teamwork excellent, but he was also currently keeping them from killing his crew, and looking for his son. One of the duke's perks was that he cared for every one of his people and treated them right, this was also a weakness, and the pirates were using it to the fullest. "My lord! don't worry about us, it's been an honor serving you!' a crew member yelled, the crew knew this weakness of their lord's and were willing to sacrifice themselves for him and his family. "Silence!" the duke commanded
It was at this moment Kid came through the door. One of the pirates' smirked at this and dashed towards Kid, catching him unprepared. The duke didn't react which startled the pirate but he continued anyway. Before Kid could do anything the pirate tried to grab him only to grab ahold of a round object "what is-" *BOOM* the pirate's top half was disintegrated, this shocked the other two. They looked over at the duke and noticed that his son was also with him "That's one." the duke's murderous aura returned and he teleported to the second pirate slicing at him. The second pirate just barely dodged it only to be teleported back in his original position and be sliced in half. "how!"
The duke smirked evilly "I would like to thank you because you three I broke through to tier-X." he then raised his hand. "Stop father, we need him for interrogation. We need to figure out who did this and what for." Kid told his father. He believed that it was weird for pirates of this caliber to attack them, not only that but why would they attack a high noble's ship. "Your right, I'll save him for later. But right now we need to deal with the rest of these pirate ships." The duke then turned to the crew members "Set the weapons systems, it's our turn to go on the offensive." All the crew members quickly got back their seats and did as they were told.
The battle with the pirate ships wasn't that much of a problem. Mainly because they had all old models and not as much firepower, after capturing a few more pirates the battle was over. "Alright, now let's get home before any more issues arise." the duke spoke to his crew with a commanding voice. *ZIP* "Sir! another ship has exited hyperdrive! And it's at least three times the size of the others!" This shocked the duke and Kid "How didn't we notice this before it exited!" "I don't know sir, but it is armed and aiming towards us!"
