asked.
“Your armor just turned into the same thing as Taylor’s.”
Q looked at himself. It was true. His armor had become exactly like the one Taylor had!
How did his suit change form? He’d thought how Taylor looked like a goddess of death and his suit changed.
Maybe that was it! He had thought how cool her suit was. Maybe all he needed was an image.
He thought about his armor growing. He imaged himself becoming bigger and bigger.
He opened his eyes. Kai’s face was somewhere near his hip! It worked! Q’s suit was twice its normal size.
Q had cracked the armor open; figuratively speaking of course.
Taylor interrupted him. “I’m sorry Q, but this fashion show’s got to wait. Why don’t we beat the pirates first and then watch episode 2?”
“Game on,” Kai said.
They went up to the pit. They passed by the bunker where Elizabeth was sleeping. Her face looked so peaceful that Q didn’t have the heart to wake her up.
It was only when they reached the pit could they actuallysee the pirates’ ship. They wished they hadn't. Those guys were on a different level of technology.
You think the Orion was huge? It looked like an ant next to the pirates’ ship. Kai’s jaw dropped. He had been bragging about his ship so far but he just had those rights wrapped up and minced back to him.
The pirates’ ship came closer to the Orion. Taylor could see two long mechanical arms coming out of a hole that had just opened up. The arms latched onto the Orion and reeled it in.
The inside of the pirates’ ship was dark but Kai had a feeling it was better that way. There was no guarantee that he’d like what he would see. Actually there was a guarantee he wouldn’t like what he would see.
They heard banging from the outside.
“I think that’s our door,” Kai said.
He was hyperventilating. Q wondered if the guy had ever been in a fight before.
“Just relax. It’ll all be fine.” Taylor put her arm on his shoulder.
“We’ve got to surprise them,” Q suggested.
“I say we let them wear themselves down banging on the door,” Taylor said.
“We have no idea how many of them there are, they could keep banging on the door all day long.”
“But if they get into the ship we’re dead meat,” Kai caught on to Q’s idea quickly.
Taylor saw it as well. “Open the door and launch an attack. On three. One, two, THREE,” she yelled.
She charged at the door……
………and hit it smack in the face.
Q looked at Kai. “Oh! Was I supposed to open it?” he asked.
Taylor got up. “Don’t tell me that you didn’t know that,” she said between clenched teeth.
Q opened the door before Taylor got any angrier.
On the other side were about thirty really surprised pirates. They were regular looking humans but Q had to remind himself that everything in the universe looked somewhat like humans. The women looked even more ferocious than the men. The way they brandished their blades sent shivers up Q’s spine.
He still restrained himself. His conscience wasn’t letting him fight. These pirates came from the same galactic family as Q did. Could he kill them just like that?
One of the pirates fired a laser at Kai. Kai flew back a few meters and into the Orion. He was dazed but still alive.
Q turned his gaze towards the pirates.
“They are not human. They are savages who’ll do anything to kill us. Is that what you want?” he asked himself.
He yelled out a battle cry and charged at the pirates.
Taylor fought the few pirates who were unfortunate enough to try to kill her.
Slash, slash and slash. Three pirates fell to the ground.
“Who else wants a piece of me?” she bellowed.
Meanwhile Q in his giant armor was slowly shrinking. Taylor wondered if something was wrong. Then she realized that it was a stupid question. Why? Read on.
Q’s armor shrunk back to its normal size but there was something different about it.
It had reversed colors. It was now a red suit with pulsating streaks of black.
