Chereads / The Princess Of The Heroes / Chapter 20 - Part 20

Chapter 20 - Part 20

Ralph stands in front of the whiteboard in the meeting room, while all the team are sitting around the table, waiting for their alternative leader to speak. And he did:

Ralph: According to the satellite which is tracking Mina, she's close to Astrona planet, which is too away from Earth. If the Universal Jail stays in its position and never approaches our planet, we'll need more fuel to our new spaceship. So, we'll ask the help of someone.

Dina: Who?

Ralph: Schwartz.

Vector: Damn!

Frank: Merde!

Scarlett: Not this crazy old man again!

Robin Schwartz is an old man, between his sixties and seventies, a crazy business man who owns a full crew of planes. All the fighters get bored and annoyed when they meet him because every time he does, he insists to participate with them in their missions and even for free. He insists also to finance them even when they don't need any finance. Though all of that, he's a kind man and he always advises Mina who enjoys sometimes spending time with him.

Vector: Why don't we just ask help from the Queen?

Ralph: The Queen?! Are you serious?! We hardly convinced her to stop preparing her soldiers to rescue her daughter and you tell me to ask her help?!

Clover: (talking to Vector) We can't ask her help because she'll get more afraid and she'll get in the way of our mission.

Steve: What about Charles?

Ralph: He'll ask us money.

Frank: Greedy man...

Scarlett: And he'll be greedy forever!

Vector: What about Middy?

Carl Middy is an old man in his seventies, very rich, retired from the CIA. That's why he knows a lot about the world of crime; the spies, dangerous people. He can amazingly lie to secret agents and discover their identities and positions and what they'll do in case if the Fighters need a piece of information about the CIA or the criminals.

Ralph: I don't think he'll help us. Moreover, he's now in Rome, spending the autumn there.

Frank: The lucky man... autumn in Rome, a beautiful and quiet sea, a beautiful weather...

Clover: So we have only Schwartz?

Ralph: Unfortunately yes... Anyway... we made progress on the new spaceship.

Frank: Since when do you speak "scientists" language?

Ralph: I'm trying imitating movies.

Steve: Logical... (He drinks from his green bottle).

Dina: How much seats there are inside the spaceship?

Ralph: Our seats, means eight and... other six seats, means fourteen, fourteen seats.

Vector: Why six? Did Mina tell you about the number of aliens?

Ralph: No, but I expect that Mina won't establish an alien team which contains more than six members. Anyway, we used the strongest metal from the broken spaceship of Panthera.

Frank: Who's Panthera?

Ralph: Didn't Philip tell you?

Clover: No?

Ralph: That's weird; he's garrulous so as usual he must tell you. Anyway, Panthera is the alien woman who came to our planet and bumped into Mina. By the way, Mina asks you to behave with the new members politely and as new friends.

Frank: And if they behave with us impolitely?

Steve: (takes his gun from his back) I'll kill everyone who mocks of me.

Vector: Can we see the ship?

Ralph: Of course, come on, follow me.

The team goes to the eighth floor where there are planes, and they find the spaceship in the middle of the big room and Philip next to it. The spaceship is too big, completely black, in its back there are three big holes that fire gets out to push the ship. It has also two wings which end with the same devices of Panthera's ship. Dina asks the inventor while she's studying the spaceship:

Dina: How can we drive it?

Philip: Like any normal plane. But there are few new buttons that you don't know but don't worry; over each button there are few sentences that explain...

Vector: Yeah, yeah, we understood you...

Frank: How could the metal covering Panthera's ship be enough for the whole new ship?

Philip: Simply, this strong metal is made of a lot of metals, like gold, steel and copper.

Steve: If I sold it, I could be rich and I quit my job.

Ralph: Don't you enjoy your job?

Steve: I do, but is there something better than the comfort?

Dina: An ignorant man...

Scarlett: What will we do later on?

Ralph: Mina described to us the perfect door to get in and out of the Jail, and the hall which leads to the cells room. It's weird to remember all these details because sure she was afraid and unable to concentrate.

Clover: So?

Ralph: First, there is the garage where Cyrone's spaceship lands when it gets in the Universal Jail. Then there is the hall which is tight and dark and there are a lot of locked doors.

Frank: Sure these doors are made of the same bloody metal.

Ralph: Exactly, besides, there are two guards in front of each door. When we get in the cells room after that, we find thousands of cells.

Vector: Thousands?!

Ralph: Yeah. It's like every prison.

Scarlett: Didn't you say that once we get out of the Earth, Cyrone tracks us?

Ralph: Yes, I said. But this time, Philip will answer you.

Philip: One of strength pointes of this spaceship is to be unable to be tracked by other satellites or things similar. Even if they saw us, this ship is so fast though it's too heavy. Also, it contains rifles, missiles, bullets, bombs etc...

Vector: But the spaceships of our enemy are covered with the metal...

Philip: Don't worry; I found the solution. Follow me.

All of them get in the elevator and go toward the second floor where there are the inventors. Aquana gets directly in one of tiny rooms. In this room there is a piece of black metal and a table on it a black rifle.

He wears the security glasses and ear protectors and takes the rifle, adding:

Philip: The bullets are little bombs, has the same form of the normal bullet. Every part of the one bullet is responsible for melting every metal in this bloody piece! And believe me, the explosion is Bing Bang! It will be a huge fun for the lovers of explosion like Steve. I made also missiles exactly like the bullets, but without any cylinder glass or glue, normal missiles but they aren't normal. And now, move away, move away, poussez-vous...

Everyone gets back and closes his ears while Aquana is fixing his target and he shoots. Bang! A huge explosion happens and furious fume scatters that they almost can see. Everyone coughs and after few seconds, they find the piece much smaller than before. So, Ralph marvels:

Ralph: We'll succeed in this mission...
