Chapter 45: Enforcers


    After recovering a few of his memories, he has be a lot more mature. So how could he make a silly mistake like that? Marcus only wanted to know how humans feel about other races firsthand.


    As for his fight with Nexus, it was something friends do when they haven''t seen each other in a long time. Also to remind Nexus that even in this life he, Marcus is still the alpha.


    Now that he has recovered some of his memories, he should be able to make better decisions, for the most part.


    Marcus walked through the hallway.


    It was devoid of people. To be fair, there weren''t a lot of people left on board. Bloodstains were still sttered on the walls and floor and what makes it worse is that it already smells horrifying.


    ''Looks like they didn''t even bother to clean it.'' Marcus fixed his ck long sleeve.


    If someone saw Marcus walking here, they''d thought they were in a horror movie.


    It didn''t take long before Marcus arrived in the cafeteria. It had a few windows at the side where you could look at the vastness of space. A few people sat and talked quietly. The atmosphere was as gloomy as could be.


    Marcus chose a seat that''s by the window.


    ----


    Nexus sat on the sofa. His eyes were on the tv but his mind was somewhere else. When Marcus threatened Zoey, no one noticed other than him. Even Zoey who was being threatened only thought it was a simple reminder.


    ''Their destruction is near.'' Nexus raised his head, ''You old coots up there, you better enjoy your life to the fullest. We''ll crush you! I''ll have all you as my patients and the chamber will be full of wonderful screams.''


    Nexus focused back on the tv and ced his arms on the back of the couch.


    ''Life is good. I can finally stop being the mature one.''


    ----


    Sitting on the green-colored chair while cing his forearms on the white square table, Marcus, faced the window. He imagined what''d be like to float in space. To be able to go from to without the need for ships.


    ''On second thought, I think it''s a lot better to ride ships. It''s a lot more ssy.'' Marcus turned his head away and looked at the people around him.


    Their faces looked sullen. It was like they had the chance to get hit by a truck but they got squashed by a spaceship instead.


    Marcus turned to a neer. It was the person he saved.


    ''The ungrateful bastard'' Marcus thought. But he didn''t do anything. He wouldn''t kill someone just because they were ungrateful.


    ''Looks like I''ve gone soft.'' Marcus thought.


    Marcus just sat there listening to people talk.


    "So they were businessmen?" A person with ck hair close to him asked his friend.


    "Yes, they were really rich people who came from Ker. It''s really unfortunate." His friend who had blond hair sighed.


    "What is it to you?" The person didn''t understand why his friend looked disappointed. Yes, disappointed, not sad.


    The blond looked at his friend. "The money, they had lots of money but in the end, they died just like that. If there is any chance we could actually get that money, we don''t have to work anymore and our families could live a good life."


    The ck-haired man dryly chuckled "That is true. But the chance of that happening is like Finding Nemo in space."


    "Nemo?" The blond had a confused expression on his face.


    "You never heard of Nemo?" The ck-haired man had a shocked expression on his face.


    The blond shook his head.


    ''Fuck even I''ve heard of Nemo. Does that mean I''m more human than him?'' Marcus wondered.


    *Ting*


    "All passengers please get ready. The Estra Rescue Team has arrived. I repeat passengers get ready. The Estra Rescue Team has arrived." An announcement sounded.


    Marcus stood up and went back to his room.


    ----


    Estra Rescue Team ship


    "Mitz you takemand, I need to take care of business first." The Captain said as he went to the bathroom.


    Mitz chuckled and nodded.


    "Sir a pirate ship is still stationed close to the Moonsplorer ship." A man who operated aputer said. He looked at the person who wore a white thin spacesuit. He looked like someone who''s ready forbat.


    The suit he wore is for those who are Space Enforcers. In other words, they are space cops. These are one of the 4 types of enforcers.


    The others are City Enforcers who are basically cops who are at a high level and they wear dark blue uniforms. Next are theary Enforcers who usually wear dark green uniforms, they are tasked with guarding an entire.


    After that are Space Enforcers who guard outer space, they wear white uniforms and white battle suites. They should not be confused by Space Patrollers which are controlled solely by higher-ups of the human race. Thest one is called Special Enforcers and they are only deployed in times of crisis.


    The one who wore a white suit nodded and said, "Prepare smaller and faster ships. Engage right away and don''t let them escape."


    He has short blond hair, wide-set eyes, and a short nose. He looked to be around 35 years old. But he is actually around 80.


    "Yes, sir!" The personnel saluted and went back to work.


    Mitz looked at the two nearby ships. One of them already started to fly away a long time ago. It was Jones''s pirate ship. They have never left the ce and thought that maybe their crewmates are still inside. But now that a ship from Estra arrived, they had no choice but to turn tail and run.


    "Prepare to fire a short st when they get further away from the Moonsplorer ship!" Mitz ordered.


    "Aye aye!" The personnel shouted.


    Small ships came out of their big blue-colored spaceship and went straight towards the pirate ship.


    "Wait, wait, wait, FIRE!" Mitzmanded.


    The cannon that was situated up front and was charging fired a yellow-colored beam.


    This was a cannon that fired beams of light magic. This was made possible because the core inside their ship that was used for firing their weapons, is light-based. That means their cannons fire light attributed attacks.


    The back of the pirate ship exploded. The smaller ships surrounded it and started firing. But they also made sure to keep a safe distance away.


    "Start extracting the passengers and take them to their rooms. They must have been through a lot. How many people are left alive in that ship right now?" Mitz asked.


    "Reporting sir, there are only around 80 people left. As for the others, they all died. That includes the vice captain of the ship." A man who stood close to him reported.


    Mitz nodded. His hands were ced on his back.


    When the Moonsplorers ship contacted the Estra government for help, he was the one assigned to do the task. He was not surprised about a ship getting attacked by pirates. What surprised him was that a pirate got the captain''s position on the ship. A Bridge that''s been infiltrated by pirates is already a disaster but having a pirate as a captain in disguise is worse.


    ''Moonsplorers should know something about this.'' The Captain thought.
