Chapter 28

After the gang had rested at the hotel they were now ready to go to the Galaxy corporation to try to get their travel visa renewed but before they could Batman was telling them some information he heard last night

What? the others said

Is this true? Sophitia said

Yes. Batman said

There's no way Zegram would betray us. Jaster said

I agree Zegram has always been a good guy. Simon said

No he isn't. Batman said

How are you so sure? Lilika said

I heard them talking last night i seen it with my own eyes. Batman said

Look there's gotta be an explanation. Jaster said

There isn't...Zegram is evil. Batman said

I don't buy it. Simon said

What are you talking about? Batman said

I mean come on how is he evil? Simon said

I heard him saying how he doesn't like Jaster. Batman said

No way that's true. Jaster said

Trust me it is. Batman said

Everyone was arguing until Punk spoke

WHAT? they all yelled

I have an idea. Punk said

What is it? Sophitia said

Why don't we keep an eye on him? Punk said

You mean Like spying? Simon said

Yup. Punk said

We can't do that. Simon said

Why not? Punk said

We would be invading his privacy. Simon said

So...no then? Punk said

Look i don't think Zegram is evil. Jaster said

Jaster you can't be serious? Batman said

I am i mean there's no way he would betray us. Jaster said

I'm still not sure. Batman said

Look Zegram is not bad end of discussion. Now let's go and get our travel visa renewed. Simon said

Simon's right we need to get going. Jaster said

The others then left to head to the Galaxy corporation while Punk and Batman were left behind

Hey Batman? Punk said

What is it? Batman said

Do you really think Zegram would betray us? Punk said

Yes. Batman said

Wow you're really serious. Punk said

Of course i am. I still think he's evil. Batman said

Was Lobo really there? Punk said

He was. Batman said

Great now we got two major assholes. Punk said

Listen can i ask you something? Batman said

Sure what is it? Punk said

I agree. Batman said

You agree with what? Punk said

That we should keep an eye on him. Batman said

Really? You do? Punk said

Yes i do. Batman said

Wow thanks. Punk said

We need to get going. Batman said

Oh right. Punk said as he and Batman left to join the others

A few minutes later

The gang was heading towards the Galaxy corporation until they saw a little girl and a woman

Mommy, i'm hungry... the little girl said

Hang on just a little longer, Chie. We'll get something to eat soon, okay? the woman said

They were walking by the girl and the woman until the woman saw them she took something out of her purse and approached them

Um, excuse me... the woman said

What's up? Punk said

Punk that's rude. Sophitia said

Hey i was being polite. Punk said

Sorry about that ma'am. Sophitia said

It's alright. Anyway pardon me for asking, but do you happen to know this person...? the woman said as she showed them a picture

Hm? Do you guys recognize him? Jaster said as he grabbed the picture and looked at it and showed it to the others

Nope. Punk said

No. Batman said

No. Sophitia said

Hulk don't know. Hulk said

Never seen him before...who is he? Lilika said

He's my husband. His name is Sho. the woman said

What happened to him? Sophitia said

There was an accident at the chemical lab where he used to work, and he was caught in the explosion. He managed to survive, but he's gone missing from the hospital. the woman said

How horrible. Sophitia said

Simon, do you know this guy? Simon said

Uh, er...n-no, i...i can't say that i do, no. Simon said

The others were curious by how nervous Simon was

Mommy...? Chie said

It's okay, Chie. Thank you very much for your time. Um...if you happen to see my husband, please tell him Miyoko and Chie are looking for him. the woman said

All right. We'll keep an eye out for him. Jaster said

Thank you. Miyoko said as she and her daughter then left

(Sighs) Simon sighed

Uh Simon? Punk said

Huh? Simon said

Something bothering you? Lilika said

N-No, not especially... Simon said

Simon be honest. Batman said

I am being honest but you know...Ohh...i feel a little doggy all of a sudden. Do you mind terribly if Steve goes with you instead? Simon said

Huh? Lilika said

Why? Punk said

I just don't feel good right now so i'm gonna get Steve so he can join you. Simon said

If you say so dude. Punk said

Thanks i'll see you guys later. Simon said as he left

A few more minutes later

The gang was waiting until Steve showed up

I'll be joining the party, if you don't mind. Thank you for your patience. Steve said

How's Simon doing? Jaster said

My senors failed to detect anything out of the ordinary-apart from body fat percentage, that is. Steve said

Ha hilarious. Punk said

At any rate-let's get to the Galaxy corporation. The captain will have our heads if we don't hurry. Steve said

Then we should probably get going. Jaster said

Good idea. Punk said

Another few minutes later

The gang were now back inside the Galaxy corporation again and saw MIO sitting at the front desk as usual as they approached her

Huh? They released you already? MIO said

Arrrgh Lilika growled

Hey take it easy. Punk said

You know that's really surprising. Isn't that awfully fast for a bombing? Gosh, law is, like, sooo complicated. MIO said

We didn't do anything! This is all your fault! Lilika said

Lilika calm down. Batman said

Now now, let's just get our galactic travel visa renewed. Steve said

One more time. ZR-KJ1701, the Dorgenark. Jaster said

Huh? MIO said

Something's about to happen huh? Punk said to himself

Oh no...what now? Jaster said

Duh, have you guys been in prison or something? Don't you know what happened? MIO said

Called it. Punk said to himself

I sure did think it was weird. You guys are so out of it. Don't you ever watch the news? MIO said

What happened? Batman said

Here. Take a look. MIO said as she showed them a news video

We're live at the Daytron factory. Where an unamed individual has taken over the computer mainframe. But has yet to make any demands. A large number of hunters are coming together from nearby cities to capture the criminal. Daytron's offering a sizable reward for the capture of the terroorist. This is Lucy Dyne reporting live from the scene of the standoff. the space reporter said

The news video was now over

So, do you get it now? All of Zerara's government offices are managed by the Daytron mainframe. That's like a big computer. MIO said

So? Punk said

Soooo...anyway, i'm afraid i can't help you til that's all settled and they get it back up. Sorry! MIO said

Pretty girl can't help us? Hulk said

Nope i can't. But you know, you could always go after the criminal yourself if you're in such a hurry. MIO said

Who is this criminal? Batman said

No idea but i can show you. MIO said

You can? Sophitia said

Yup. Here, look at this! MIO said as she showed them another video this time showing someone in the Daytron factory

Attention, Daytron Corporation! This is wrongful termination, pure and simple. I am totally running out of patience here! If you have time to send pathetic hunters in here, you ought to give in to my gosh darned requests! I am the victim here! My wife left me and my life became the absolute pits. I demand two hundred million zehn in compensation for my pain and suffering! the person said

Wow someone has some anger issues. Punk said

Is this the guy? Jaster said

Hmm...it sounds to me like this fellow is taking revenge for being fired. Steve said

What a pitiful guy... Lilika said

He doesn't sound that bad. Sophitia said

Dude the guy lost his wife and he's demanding a lot of money. Sounds pretty bad to me. Punk said

If we manage to capture this guy, we can get our visa renewed, right? Lilika said

Yep, i'd say that's about right. MIO said

Let's go get him. If all goes well, we'll even get that reward from Daytron. Steve said

My, what confidence! I'm totally impressed! MIO said

Where's the factory? Batman said

To get to the factory, just head straight out through the main doors and make a left at the central plaza, okay? MIO said

Piece of cake. Punk said

Great. Good luck out there! MIO said

As if the gang had enough problems now they have to go to the Daytron factory to try to stop a criminal and get the mainframe computer up and running stay tuned
