David was in his cabin awaiting the end of the journey. He had approximately 100 thousand galactic credits. A family of five could live for about 3 years on this money. David started to look at the stock market. The galaxy was a dangerous place, and the stock market was highly volatile. Dragon took about half of David's income for his investment project and already had about 103 million dollars worth of stocks. Dragon kept repeating in David's head {COMPOUND INTEREST IS THE STRONGEST FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE HUMAN HOST}
David's head buzzed, until he relented allowing Dragon to do as he pleased. The only times David heard Dragon curse openly was when he failed an investment, making David feel a little worried for his friend. It didn't last long as the lights were turned off in the vehicle.
{DAMNED SHIP INTERNET}
A slight pause occurred as Dragon cursed for a straight minute about him losing a million credits in profit, but not allowing David to have a cent.
”Dragon why are the light's off?,”
David's refined senses felt footsteps rattling the ships.
{Combat mode: Ships has been hacked. Scans indicate 13 unregistered life forms
High chance of space pirates}
”So the first period begins” David thought.
David rested as he stayed inside his cabin. All was relatively calm, until he heard a
BANG.
A pair of 1st grade men barged in the door before dragging David to the main hall. There a group of people were huddled, along with first grade pirates that followed a 2nd grade leader. These pirates were no joke, and David was glad that they didn't radiate the ship, but annoyed that he had to deal with this.
”Dragon make me look scared,”
{Scared.exe not found}
David's face fell a bit as he sat down within the group. The pirates gathered, along with the leader speaking,” Which one of you is Ashley,”
David thought,” Ashley BloodHawk; daughter of William BloodHawk. One of the 4 pillar houses of the empire. Why would she be on an ECONOMIC flight. What the hell,”
Eventually a figure along with two others stood up challenging the pirates. Everyone drew their weapons, before a high speed brawl occurred. The trio was better at fighting, but they were outnumbered. However, a fourth member stood up while taking off a cloak. A hot figure appeared, that resembled the word fire. She stood out, and attracted all the gazes that saw her.
A pirate quickly went to test the waters, before being cut down with a brilliant red strike from a halberd.
”These damn BloodHawks with their oversized halberds,” David started to complain in his heart. They caused wan ton destruction wherever they went. David had once had his corvette tested by a BloodHawk as the person swung his halberd against the ship's hull. A crack appeared in the anti magic coating forcing David to accept the renumeration, and spending his next week saving Elms for Anti-magic.
The Halberd swung in arcs giving Ashley and her men space to fight. Too fast for ordinary men, but David slowed down time to watch. He shook his head. The pirates had no real refined technique, as it was combat experience they had an edge in, but their attacks were full of holes covered up by their superior physical attributes. As the pirates started to lose, they surrounded the passengers as hostages yelling,” Surrender or all these people die,”.
