raised his hands. A burning black flame covered his whole suit. The Durendal appeared in his hands. Two circles of black energy. A photograph of the scene would’ve probably sold for a million dollars. That’s how cool it was.
Oh! yeah. Back to the fight.
Q just slashed and slashed and didn’t stop. Taylor didn’t have to do anything but that wasn’t going to stop her from getting a piece of the action.
Kai was the odd one out; sitting at the entrance to the Orion, a spectator to Q and Taylor’s carnage.
“Time to get serious” Taylor grinned at the pirates.
She twirled around twice and sank into the floor. After that everything was chaos. She would rise randomly from a spot and maul everything around her and then sink back in, again and again.
A few minutes later nothing remained of the pirates. With danger out of the way, Q’s armor kept folding up till it disappeared.
“Hey! Where did it go?” He turned to Taylor. She put her sword back in and helped Kai up.
Q was relieved to see Kai safe and sound. He’d assumed the worst when he saw him fly into the ship.
“Your armor hid itself. All you have to do is say ‘Ethosien’ whenever you want to arm yourself and your armor will come out into battle.”
They walked into the ship. Kai and Taylor went to the pit to start the ship. The first thing that came to Q’s mind was to check how Elizabeth was doing. He was walking towards the bunks when he heard a blood curdling scream.
He ran towards the noise. He rushed to the bunks and found the door locked. He backed up and rammed on it. It broke down easily.
On the other side was a scared Elizabeth.
A blue haired female pirate stood next to her. Her sword poised; going for the kill.

Q didn’t have any time to react. He had only taken a few steps forward when the Zyxian brought its sword down on Elizabeth.
Q closed his eyes. He didn’t want to see his friend get butchered. There was silence for a long time.
She…she’s dead, Q thought.
He tried opening his eyes slowly. He didn’t want to see the terrible sight.
The Zyxian had just frozen with the sword inches away from Elizabeth.
It had a horn growing from its stomach. It took Q a while to realize that it wasn’t a horn. It was a dagger. Chris stepped out from behind the Zyxian.
“Good thing I didn’t come out to fight, huh?” she asked, her voice deathly quiet.
Elizabeth was still frozen. Her brain was still processing why she hadn't died yet.
“ELIZABETH!” Chris yelled into her ears.
Elizabeth flinched a little bit and turned normal again. She just stared at Chris and then realized what had happened.
“Thank you so much!” she said, and hugged Chris.
“Umm... you’re welcome?” Chris didn't know how to react.
Taylor and Kai came running in.
“What happened?” Taylor asked. “We heard screams.”
Chris told them the whole story. At the end of it Taylor’s face was full of awe.
Elizabeth punched Q. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Taylor too looked at Q. “Yeah... why didn’t we wake her up?”
“Well she did faint and we didn’t know how much she could fight, so the best thing to do was to let her sleep,” Q said.
“So how long till we reach?” Taylor asked.
“About half a day or so,” Kai said.
“We haven’t got much time; we’re going to have to rush,” Q told Kai.
“About that” Taylor started. “You never really told us what it is that we’re after.”
Q hit the panic button. He didn’t know if he should tell them the truth or not. If he did tell them, they might panic, like he was doing; but they did have a right to know. He decided to take a plunge for it and tell them anyway.
So he told them the whole deal. The super black hole, the other black holes that were making him bigger and worst of all, their seven-day deadline till a hole was ripped in space-time and the universe ended.
“Didn't see that coming,” Kai said.
“So do you know where it
