The peddler #5

Mara's mission

Hallo, here is a recap of what happened last time, I'll make it as short as I can because I heard that people don't like long stories so if I make it short then... oops, I got carried away, sorry. Well, last time we got my friends to be part of my crew, then we left for Mara's mission and intercepted 2 enforcer freighters, we attempted to hi-jack them and we failed because they seemed to be expecting us, we were captured and the giant was there, yet I still managed to escape his custody and met up with Monroe, he told me about Fernando's deception and then Mara transported us all out, and after getting a good beating he managed to escape. Now, back to the story.

I slept in my very comfortable ultra massaging bed; since Mara told me I wasn't needed on the bridge, so here I was, sleeping comfortably. Then the ship shook, sending me across the room in the open closet, I stumbled and then the ship shook violently again and I was sent against the opposite wall, landing on my bed. I moaned in pain and then all the lights went out, I found the door and then the emergency power kicked in and the lights went back on, then the ship shook again and I hit the wall hard.

When I got to the bridge Mara looked at me and asked " did we wake you sir?"

I looked at her with annoyed eyes and said " I'm awake now aren't I, what the hell is going, do you just like shaking the ship around".

She said "we just passed a minefield, now the mission starts, the mission is"

I interrupted and said " we not doing nothing until I get my full pot of coffee, alright" then I looked around the bridge and realized there was no one there, I asked " where are the others?"

Monroe and Sal walked in and hit me down to the ground, then I asked what was going on, and Mara said " my mission is almost over" and I was knocked out.

I woke up when someone shone a very bright, Sal was sitting across the table I was sitting at, he smiled and said in a mocking tone " did I wake you princess".

Once my eyesight adjusted I realized we were in another interrogation room, there were no openings and no doors that I could see, plus it was all made out of steel so I looked up to him and asked in an equally mocking tone " where's my coffee prince charming"

He snarled at the comeback and then said " in case your wondering, Logan's still on your side, don't worry do, he'll be dead soon"

I looked up at him and asked " why you doing this"

He stretched his arms and said " it's a matter of survival of course, and a little bit of profit"

The doors opened and 2 guards brought Logan in the room and sat him beside me, I said " hallo there, nice to see you" and then a fat man dressed in a fur tunic walked in, followed by  the giant enforcer, I smiled to him and said " nice to see you too eh"

He ignored me and said " this is the obsidian order leader, he wants to have a word with you before your execution",  then the giant enforcer said " it seems we always run into each other eh, one of us is gonna get hurt someday, and it aint gonna be me" he said.

Then I said " if my memory serves me well, it seems each time we meet I get away" then I smiled and laughed at him, he punched me in the jaw.

The fat man cleared his throat and said in a deep voice " hello peddler, see this" he lifted a cage with a trojian scorpion.

I laughed and said in a mocking tone " your comparing me to that, and I thought you were going to insult me"

He looked upset, but then regained himself and continued " trojian scorpions are quite hard to catch since they are so cunning in deception that they  manage to survive, but when they are captured they are as deceitful as they were before, never attempting to escape until its captors backs are turned and an escape is seen" he took a long dagger and attempted to stab the scorpion but it managed to dodge the knife time after time after time, but then it got exhausted and was killed. The fat man continued " but eventually they do get tired and weak, and die" he said in a menacing tone.

I said " you missed something"

He looked at me and said in a sarcastic tone " what? You want your coffee" 

I smiled and said " I really would, with 3 sugars and some andorian ale, but what I meant to say is its not dead" they looked down and the cage was empty, I continued " they are deceiving creatures indeed, they always find the enemy's weakness and exploit it just in the right time, in your case your overconfidence"

He looked angry again, but then the giant said " time to die, but first I want to have a bit of fun" he punched me in the jaw with extreme force, then he took a gun out and said " time for the execution, any last words"

So I smiled, winked at Monroe and said " beam me up Scotty" and then me and Logan were transported into our ships.

Logan smiled and said " good job, now lets load our weapons before they figure it out"

Suddenly Monroe transported in the ship, he said " time to die" and punched me against the wall, and then he realized I still had my enforcer armor and new weapons, I raised a shotgun and blew him off his feet before he could react, then he got back up but received a hard punch from Logan, Monroe went down and then kicked Logan away and a ball of flame came right at my hand forcing me to drop my gun, then he said " I wont be defeated by a human" and then Virgil came from behind with 2 knives and stabbed Monroe in the heart and kicked him away.

I looked at him and said " where have you been" he said " in the closet"  and then we grabbed Monroe and threw him in the avenger washroom then I turned to the others and said " let's get busy"

Logan held me back and asked curiously " how did you get us transported out of there? Magic?"

I laughed and replied " hardly, I programmed the transporters to correspond to my wrist controls here" showing the machine on my wrist I continued " all I have to do is say beam me up Scotty and it transports me and whoever else I want to. Its some high tech stuff that reads my mind and... to skip all that techno mumbo jumbo lets just load all the weapons and cloaking devise and cause a bit of damage to Zephyrus and take my wolf class ship"

They didn't argue and I activated the shields so they couldn't transport aboard and we loaded the ship with everything, then where we were ready I placed an EM bomb2 and after have left Zephyrus and cloaking got far away.

Mara got on board the Zephyrus, she turned to Monroe and yelled out loud " How did you manage to screw that up! The plan was perfect, he was captured and defenseless."

Monroe was about to reply when he heard the Peddler's voice in a vent, he drew his weapon and pulled the vent open, there stood an EM bomb. The Peddler's voice said, " Hallo there, I really think this betrayal was quite rude but no worries, I won't take it personally. As a matter if fact, I left a present behind for you, enjoy" The bomb went off, disabling all technology. As they began floating Mara yelled " activate back-up power" but it didn't work, she knew they would run out of oxygen eventually, she yelled out loud " I hate you Peddler!"
