Seven has finally turned 5 and his aunt couldn't wait for him to get his examination. He didn't say anything as they rode on the space shuttle. There was a mecha in his garage but for some reason, it won't turn on so they decided to take the earliest flight to the capital.
He checked his light brain and smiled as he saw the money getting transferred. It took him three years to do this mainly because his hand not being fast enough and couldn't keep up with his brain.
The advanced algorithm in this interstellar world almost made him give up and for the first time, he felt that he wasn't worth being called a genius but remembering how his aunt squander all the money meant for him made him persevere to this day. In these 4 years, he could pretty much say that it wasn't his aunt raising him but him raising her.
She didn't have any job but was always spending money, buying expensive products, going to fancy restaurants as if her life depends on it. She could not let go of the luxury she once experienced.
There was not a day when she would drink and trash the house. It even comes to a point where she almost brought a man home but thankfully the smart robot was there and alerted the authorities that there was an unknown man inside his house.
Her aunt was almost put in jail but unfortunately, she was my guardian and so was only asked to pay a fine, as she was afraid to use the money for the financial support in front of the authorities she ended up borrowing money from the bank and mortgage her house which she bought during her years as a celebrity.
He would secretly ruin her schedule as payback for treating him like a slave whenever she stay at his house. He couldn't get rid of her yet because without a guardian he needed to stay in an orphanage to which he refused to go back again. It might not be obvious but what he experienced before was traumatizing and so he had an aversion to this place even if they say it's safe.
The travel time for their destination is two hours, they needed to go to another planet, the capital city where the empire is located, to get the result taken. He began to imagine what the empire look like and how his name would resound in the empire as they hear him sing. This time for sure he would become a singer.
Minutes pass and he began to feel bored looking out the window and observing the galaxy. Even though it was his first time he was not as enthusiastic as he thought would be the moment he saw outer space. He was waiting for his time to pass when turbulence happened and an announcement was made.
"This is the Star Pirate PYRUS, we are now taking everyone hostage, if you try to fight back will kill you immediately." the man said straightforwardly without wasting any time.
" fuck!!!" he silently curses. He can't believe it, he was just thinking of becoming a singer and now their ship was being high jack by pirates. He massage his temples, as he realized that even now fate was still trying to fuck up his life.
They heard a knock from outside and his trembling aunt signaled him to open the door. He wanted to curse her for ordering a child to do this considering the fact that they were in danger. Oh, how he wish karma would strike her.
He opened the door and look up, he saw a man wearing a tattered red leather vest, holding a particle gun, and smiled pervertedly at him. "oh we have some fresh meats here" he said and order them to go to the main lobby where everyone was waiting. He was annoyed by the man's ogling and secretly wish in his heart that he could kill him.
'Son of a bitch trying to take advantage of a kid' he clenched and small hand as he walk with other people.
Over 100 passengers squatted in the middle and all their terminals were taken by the pirates.
Armed with guns and bombs they shoot whoever tries to make trouble. Surrounding them were 20-star pirates while sitting high and mighty in front of them was a handsome young man in his early 20's.
His hair was red with a hint of orange, making it look like a blazing fire, he was wearing a black suit made out of expensive leather, and he was looking at them as if they were his prey, ready to pounce.
Despite his perfectly sculpted face, the evilness on his smile could not be hidden. This stare reminds him of the time he was still training in Cerbrus.
Those people treated them like livestock. He shook his head to erase the memories he had in that place for they weren't great nor worth remembering.
"Captain, the 2nd army wants to talk to you" a man slightly older than the captain handed the main server in the ship and press the connecting line, there appear one of the generals of the empire.
General Hendrix Cross, a man in his 30s, his hair was hidden in his hat, had a perfectly sculpted face coupled with his blue eyes, blond-haired and full lips, broad strong shoulder, a tall physique, and impressive family background.
"oh hello General Cross, isn't it such a lovely day to kill and shed blood hahahahaha" he laughed as stared at the stoic man on the hologram. The man was wearing a dark blue suit with gold linings. On his shoulder, you can see 5 stars align showing his rank.
"what do you want captain Wolf" he didn't mind his madness and went to ask directly what he wanted.
Wolf just laughed at his perfect demeanor and said " how about an exchange general, 100 passengers for our leaders, Cheetah and Eagle" he said and showed the scared faces of the people.
"what do you think general" he smiled showings his teeth and honestly Seven felt goosebumps all over his body.
"very well" General Cross agreed, it didn't matter if these criminals escape what's important are the citizens and even so they can still capture them back. He was confident in doing so.
"n.e1649 ° cross-border" he sent the coordinate of where they'll meet. They maneuver the ship and went to the border.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the meeting place and the hostage was in a straight line, his aunt was being the last one on the line. The pirates are going to slowly release the hostage and his aunt being a woman who looks beautiful was picked to stand last.
When the army's battleship arrived, General Cross signal his men to show Cheetah and Eagle while the pirates begin releasing the passengers. When there were 50 left Cheetah was first released, he wave at Wolf and smiled wickedly at him.
The second batch was released and only he and his aunt were left inside the ship. His aunt was trembling hard. A pirate signal Seven to move next but what shocked him was that his aunt selfishly pushes him aside and runs outside immediately.
This action caused the whole operation to collapse the pirates immediately open fire and shoot her. The other who has yet to reach the military side panicked. The soldiers had noticed but to engage in battle...
"battle commenced position c fire!!"General Cross order.
