(9) Twinkle Twinkle underwater star

Somewhere on Jupiter's moon, Ganymede.

"BONDAGE! Tighter, MOTHERFUCKERS! Tighter!" K-13 shouts, wearing a straitjacket while being dragged into a White room.

Straitjacket- A garment made of strong material and designed to bind the arms of the insane.

"BE AFRAID!!! I'll break your bones, eat your heart and brain!" K-13 stares at the people dragging him and continues, "I remember! FuckFaces!"

At Ganymede Lunatic Asylum, K-13 continues to shout until the inmates and guards in the prison next building can hear his foul mouth.

"What's that?" A guard in prison looks out the window.

Yu on someone's phone as someone's AI Girlfriend: Babe, just sit a little bit more. Stress is not good for you. Everyone needs to rest to guard this forsaken place! This prison won't survive if you're not here.

"That's true... Some crazy next door keeps shouting..." The guard lets out and continues to observe the security monitors.

In prison, Sylvia walks to the cafeteria with her cellmate, a female Gray Alien named Zeta. In the other prison section, Dokie talks to his fellow Machines.

"You guys might be wondering how I got here," Dokie asks while relaxingly sitting on the bench with his back on the table.

A week earlier, the crew performed their daily task and routine. In the mess hall, K-13 and Sylia teased Yu to show herself to Dokie since he's new to the group; a proper introduction would help everybody to know one another, build trust, and strengthen bonds.

Sylvia stands and looks at Dokie as she poses flairs and extravagance—Yu slowly reveals herself behind Sylvia. Dokie looks at the two and immediately understands the assignment; he poses flairs and extravagance, holding his cowboy hat while K-13 slowly gets up on a stool to look taller with a mask, preventing him from shouting but clearly seeing him trying to say something.

Sylvia (Stand name: Jem)

Dokie (Stand name: Crazy Frog)

Sylvia steps forward, "Oh? You're approaching me?" Dokie bewilderedly asks.

But before Dokie and Yu shake hands, the red phone in the corner rings with a one-time code "Gray." It's a secured line, and only a handful of people know the phone's number.

Yu: Gray? Hell no! Don't answer it, Vi.

"You know I can't do that. A promise is a promise," Sylvia said while firmly holding the ringing phone, debating with her thoughts whether to ignore the call or answer it as promised.

The boys watch the two talk and keep their mouths shut, not knowing what's happening.

"Finally! I thought you would ignore my call! How are you two?" The person on the other side of the line happily said.

"No, what do you need?" Sylvia skips the pleasantry and why the person called.

"How are you? Would be nice. Oh well, I need your help to hire the great 'L' or 'Lou' person," the Gray asks.

Yu: No! Hiring that guy is impossible! The guy with many names.

"Hello there, Yu; I know you'll be listening!" The Gray said and continued, "This is the last as promised. Just think of it as the good old days and goodbyes."

Yu: Good old days!? (The Gray ends the call) WHAT! Did she hang up on me!?

"Whu-ha-ha-ha-ha! DEAD SILENCE!" K-13 laughs.

°Who's this "Gray," and why she's not with the crew?°

"She looks more beautiful when angry!" Dokie let out to piss Yu more.

Yu walks away like she has a real body to Sylvia's room as the door automatically opens for her to cool off alone.

"Sorry, and I hope you two understand my situation," Sylvia sincerely bowed her head.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

"A Queen bows to no one!" K-13 declares.

°All good! My body needs action, and this should be fun!°

"All good; everybody has a history they don't want to share... It just happens it caught up. Understandable!" Dokie reassures.

"Okie Dokie," Sylvia replies.

"Ooooo! She said it!" Dokie jumps back and happily vocalizes while K-13 catches him. "Anyways... What's the plan?"

"No worries, Yu's already on it! Just a little dramatic," Sylvia answers.

Yu: No!

While Yu looks for "L's" whereabouts and how to hire an elusive individual, the rest continue what they're doing, not knowing the mess they're about to experience.

Yu: Looks like the crew needs to be in prison!

Hiring Requirements

* You need to stop the prisoners' Train without getting caught to know you are here to hire me. I, too, don't know you here.

* Open or unlock everyone's cell and watch the chaos.

* Full isolation! Three days, weeks, months. It doesn't matter.

* Go start a fight! It's the first thing I want to watch in the morning.

Yu: Don't worry, guys. I know a way!

"That's my baby girl!" Dokie happily lets out.

Yu: No.

"GOD'S PLAN!" K-13 shouts.

°This is fun!°

"Just ignore Dokie or don't. I mean, he's a partner material," Sylvia teases Yu.

Yu: I feel like you take new crew in like a stray cat in the alley and know they'll mess with me.

"Don't be so dramatic! The ship is more lively now!" Sylvia said in her defense.

Yu: Mmmm... But I already generated fake identification for you guys, and even if you guys enter prison, they will not know who you really are unless you're famous or know someone inside.

"I'm the nameless God!" K-13 shouts.

°Can it be John if I request it? I mean, John is the first name that popped into my head°

"That's good! And what's the plan," Sylvia asks.

Yu: First, get into trouble and be placed in prison. As for 13, he must be admitted to the Asylum for the prison group to escape.

"NOOO! Crazy Naked Guy!?" K-13 remembers his time on the surface of Marz.

°Good times, but it should be easy since my body is already crazy, and if it's a mission, my body and I can do it!°

"Crazy Naked Guy?" Dokie asks the crew.

"Don't worry about it. Sounds like it's Kay's past nickname on Marz," Sylvia answers.

Yu: If you say so, 13 expert! I'll be guiding you guys inside. I can infiltrate any device without getting noticed.

"That's impossible, but I'll listen and believe you, my Goddess, forever!" Dokie lets out and takes a small device that produces a flower bouquet hologram for Yu.

Yu did not accept Dokie's flowers.

Long ago, on Jupiter's moons, after Earth became part of the Extraterrestrial Sovereignty, the Waquala requested to make the moons Europa and Ganymede their home after their home planet was destroyed. The Sun Government quickly gained allies they could count on, the few races who convinced The Extraterrestrial Sovereignty to let the Sun Government join the alliance, preventing genocide. Letting them live on Jupiter's moons, Waquala shared their space travel technology and helped gather resources around the Solar System.

Waquala- An aquatic race with two legs and two arms like any human with four tentacles in their back, gills, and tiny lungs to temporarily survive on the surface to procreate. Peaceful by nature and abnormally extreme when cornered or forced upon. With their home planet destroyed, they lived more than three generations in space with their massive spaceships since no one wants to share their planets or their moons—No one in their right mind accepts a ticking bomb.

Looking at the moon Europa, towering domes like giant metallic eggs, and under the icy, frigid surface right below the dome is another dome where the Waquala build their cities connected to the moon's volcanic seafloor for temperature control. Without the Sun's light, Waquala uses enough light orbs to illuminate the whole city, making it one of the attractions in the Solar System called "Underwater Star City."

"Dragon eggs!" K-13 shouts as he points at the Europa.

°Humanities' friends!°

Yu: Fun facts: Those domes are the spaceships. If they decided to leave simultaneously, it would destroy the moon. That being said, Waquala promised not to do it, and if they did, it would mean war to the only race who helped them in this vast and unforgiving universe.

"A double-edged sword! Humans from Earth sure are bold!" Sylvia praises.

"And the machines!" Dokie adds.

Yu: Better steal a "Star" to finally cut off all connection to that "Gray." And for 13, you do you in the city. I don't need to worry about you this time.

"What about me, Love?" Dokie asks in front of Yu on his knees.

Yu's hologram disappears and reappears beside Sylvia.

"Hahahaha! Suffer in Hell!" K-13 loudly laugh.

°Don't worry brother, your family!°

After they dock on the moon, the crew leaves with a different identity thanks to Yu's hard work, ready to cause chaos!

Yu to everyone: Be the bad bunches you are meant to be!

"CHAOS! CHAOS!" K-13 runs in a different direction with just a pink Speedo.

°This is going to be fun for my body! Just like the old days°

Walking in a different direction, "Is he going to be fine?" Dokie asks Sylvia.

"Absolutely! He's a killing machine! And a real gentleman," Sylvia declares.

Team 1: Sylvia and Dokie.

Yu to Team 1: Gentleman? The fuck's wrong with you?

"No comments here," Dokie quickly replies, hoping not to pick sides.

"If only you knew..." Sylvia lets out and continues, "Worst-case scenario, we go bust some door wide open and save his ass."

"What about dying? Did you two process it?" Dokie asks.

Yu: Didn't know you cared for that monkey.

"Sound like you think highly of your 'monkey,'" Sylvia teases Yu.

Yu: Of course, I put everything into consideration! And 13 is part of the crew. I approved it, you know, after he proved himself.

"Okay, okay, if you say so," Sylvia says, looking around while walking through a glass tube and enjoying the city's beauty.

Pulsing with energy and life, the ball of light varies in size, but the most common size is one meter in diameter; together, they glimmer like a constellation of stars. The city's beauty was otherworldly, a true marvel of Waquala engineering and innovation. The vibrant lights illuminated the ocean's depths, casting a magical glow on the surrounding buildings; maybe this is where Gods reside. With air charging stations around the city, non-aquatic races can freely swim sightseeing and experience the Waquala's culture.

Yu to Team 1: Let's do the sightseeing later and get to work!

"Why so serious, Yu?" Sylvia asks, even though she knows the answer.

Yu to Team 1: Maybe it's my program or the real me!

"The reason I immediately fell in love with Yu," Dokie declares without holding back.

Yu to Team 1: You shut up!

"Hahahaha," Sylvia laughs and takes her swimming gear.

"Fancy! I didn't know you were that rich!" Dokie lets out and continues, "The automatic oxygen converter, you don't need to charge your portable air tank."

"Not rich, but the better equipment we own, the higher chance we succeed on our mission," Sylvia explains, and continues, "Aren't you going to open Yu's gift?"

"Of course! But we plan to get arrested, and your equipment looks expensive as hell!" Dokie lets out his concern.

Yu to Team 1: It's under my name; I reported it stolen. The police will send it back to us. You don't need to worry.

"Okie Dokie!" Dokie, in a surprised tone, resumes, "So smart! Guess it's time to open my gift from my Love!"

Yu to Team 1: Correction, not a gift, but a required item to do your job. You need to assist my Vi, and you can't do that if you can't swim. That equipment is like a jetpack but for swimming. The ballast tank will help you quickly surface by filling it with nitrogen attached to the side; It's the smaller tank.

"It's okay, sweet mama; I know you're shy and don't want Sylvia to know!" Dokie is pushing it.

"Hahahaha. Dokie is sure an added fun to the crew!" Sylvia happily said and swam, looking around to pick the right Star.

Dokie didn't know Yu planned to activate the underwater jetpack's nitrogen valve to quickly fill the ballast tank with gaseous nitrogen and surface out-of-control, a mishap on the mission to get caught by the police.

End.
