Chapter 27

On a deserted planet in a single-star system, you could hear what sounded like thunder happening consecutively, but the weird thing is there was no storm.

Flying across the deserted planet was Sage, but he looked like a young teenager no longer an 8-year-old child. He is currently standing at a height of 5 feet and 4 inches, and weighing a whopping 150Kg or 331 pounds.

Currently, he is flying around the planet training, while wearing what looked like big and heavy training clothes. Punching, kicking, and flashing around, he was fighting an enemy that he had imagined.

Several minutes later Sage stops fighting and lands while panting and sweating. Seconds later a pink glow appears in front of sage before a beautiful girl appears out of nowhere, standing taller than Sage at a height of 6ft, but her full length is 20ft from her head to tail.

Nala-"I have cooked some food on the ship so come and eat. Make sure to take a shower first or no food."

After sternly telling Sage, the area around her glowed again before she disappeared.

Sage-'Haa, it's been a little bit over 3 ½ years since we left Nala's home planet, and agonizingly nothing interesting has happened at all. No strong enemy, no secrets found, nothing. The most interesting thing that has happened during our adventure has been the pathetic attempts of space pirates trying to rob us. But because of that we have made a lot of money, so I guess there's that.'

Getting out of the shower I grab a towel and wrap it around my waist, walking to the kitchen I grab a plate of food and sit down in the living room next to Nala. 5 minutes later I set the empty plate down, and walk back to my room to put some pants on. Putting pants on I hover over my bed in a meditation pose and start meditating.

Sage-'My power has grown a lot, but not as much as I would like. And the crazy thing is that even with my high power I can't transform into a Super Saiyan. I guess that I can't just transform on power alone.'

Done meditating, I land and leave my room, walking to the pilot's seat I sit down and set our new destination to the Galactic patrol base.

Sage-"Set destination to Galactic Patrol Base."

[Destination set…Time to arrive.1Month,3Days,5Hours.]

Nala-"Where did you set the destination to Sage?"

Sage-"To the Galactic Patrol Base in the sector."

Nala-"Why? I thought you said they were a bunch of weaklings that would waste your time?"

Sage-"They are a bunch of weaklings, but they have been around for millions of years so I wanted to get a map of the galaxy from them. Plus I'm sure they have a lot of other knowledgeable stuff you would like."

Nala-"Why didn't you say so earlier, let's go!"

Seeing Nala get excited makes my mood improve a little, getting up I make my way to my room, informing Nala before going to sleep.

Sage-"I'm going to sleep."

Nala-"Good night"

Waiting for our spaceship to finish docking, I go to the storage facility, opening the door I get greeted by several tied-up space pirates. They attacked us on our way to our destination, and Nala decided to keep them and turn them into the galactic patrol. She said it gets us into their 'Good books' and since I don't have good social skills I just followed her advice.

Sage-"Get the Hell up. Follow me, anyone, who doesn't gets to be my punching bag."

Immediately after I say that they stand or sit up straight, walking back out with them following me, I walk towards the air-lock and see Nala there too. She is wearing her 'combat gear' that she calls it, which is really just some dark clothes with a bunch of Runes engraved on them.

Sage-"Nala, I don't think it is going to be so dangerous."

Nala-"You say that but how many times have I been in a dangerous situation because of you?"

Hearing her accusing me of stuff I definitely did, I ignored her. I mean over the course of 3 years 'I' haven't faced any danger but the same couldn't be said for Nala. Now she wasn't in any life-threatening situation because I was always there, but she has been in several fights. I mean she had to learn at least basic self-defense even if she wasn't a fighter.

[Docking complete…Air-lock opening]

With the air-lock opening, we were met with groups of galactic patrolmen walking around the hangar and other workers. Walking out of the spaceship, we look for the entrance into the actual base. Finding it a little bit later, we walk into it, and immediately all the noise from the hangar vanishes. Looking around Nala finds a receptionist, following her we make our way towards the lady wearing the galactic patrol symbol.

Lady-"How may I help you Mrs.?"

Nala-"We came here to drop off some space pirates that attacked us. They are behind us."

The lady hearing Nala looks behind us, and gets shocked by the group behind us, confused about why she is shocked, Nala asks her.

Nala-"Is there something wrong?"

Lady-"N-No Mrs. It's just the group you have caught is a high-level bounty target. They call themselves the wet bandits, and they have stolen more than 400 Million Zeni worth of goods and that's not even including the spaceships as well."

Nala-"Really? They were pretty weak though?"

Sage-"Told you Nala they are just a group of weaklings if they think these pirates were considered a problem."

Turning back to The lady, she seemed so shocked hearing Nala that she didn't even follow our conversation. Annoyed by the lady's lack of response, I questioned her about the pirates.

Sage-"So how much are their bounties worth?"

Hearing my aggressive speech seemed to have snapped her out of shock as she answered me back.

Lady-"S-Sorry about that, and their bounties are worth 100 Million zeni."

Nala-"Ohh that's not that much, I thought it would have been a lot."

Sage-"Just put them into a cell, I don't feel like wasting time doing paperwork."

Lady-"Y-Yes if you could wait here for a minute I will inform someone to take them off your hands."

After they took the pirates we asked the lady about the Milky Way galaxy map, but apparently, only the HQ has it. Seeing as we would be going to the Galactic patrols HQ earlier than I wished, I asked the lady about the coordinates to the HQ and luckily she was allowed to give them to us. Which was good because it saved possible destruction of the base.

Now back on the ship, me and Nala go to the bridge and input the coordinates into the navigation system.

[Calculating.Calculating.Calculating…Destination Confirmed..Would you like the hyper engine activated for this trip?]

Hearing the term hyper engine gets both of us confused, asking the ship for more information.

Sage-"What is the Hyper engine?"

[Hyper engine is used when the destination is outside of the galactic sector space ship is currently in]

Hearing that makes me assume it would take years without a hyper engine, curious I ask the ship to compare the time needed for an inactive hyper engine and an active hyper engine.

Sage-"What is the difference between the 2 for the time needed to reach the destination."

[With an inactive hyper engine it would take approximately 136years,5months,13days,6hours…With an active hyper engine it would take approximately 4months,2days,2hours.]

Astonished at the time difference, I enable the Hyper engine, and the moment I do, We immediately shoot off. We are going so fast that every minute I can see stars in the distance leaving my eyesight. Getting up from the captain's seat I walk to my room to meditate, because I can't train for the next 4 months sadly.
