Chapter 82: Damn Space Pirates

Targeting us? I didn't have time to figure out what was happened when another massage flashed.

//BRACE FOR IMPACT

*CRASH*

We were shaken violently, but the chairs created bubbles around us, and we were kept safe from any flying debris in the cabin. When the ship stopped shaking, our bubbles dropped, and we got up. I quickly put on my suit while Kyrina transformed into her tiger form. I wasn't sure where they had struck, but I ran to the cargo bay to grab my MAS suit.

When we got there, we could see the tip of a ship protruded through our hull, but it had released some kind of foam to keep the place pressurized, so we knew the needed air to breathe. I wasted no time and burst in after checking the camera and ran to Diamond edge on the opposite walk. Slapping my hand onto the faceplate, I turned and fell into the suit.

I jumped up as the suit close, and the ship started to open. Kyrina came to my side as I pulled out my swords and got into a stance. The ship opened to some kind of bear man with a patch over his eye, the spitting image of a space pirate, but I was not impressed. I dove at him, and cut the bear in two, then ran into the ship. I was pissed.

I cut down bear after bear, but soon Kyrina was there beside me, and it didn't take long to clear the ship. Fortunate for us, after ransacking their ship and pushing it out of our shuttle, Kyrina's eye were able to repair the damage like it had never happened. Unfortunately, that also killed the mood, and our earlier excitement was forgotten, considering the repairs took all the rest of the day.

The next day was more repairs and sorting through what we had found in the bear pirates' ships. A lot of it was nothing but junk, but there was a large hammer and a ring. I took the hammer and gave the ring to Kyrina. The hammer had a gravity switch that made the hammer heavy as you swung, so I thought it might be useful. As for the ring, it gave the user a triple overshield, but if the shields were broken, it would take up to thirty hours to recharge.

After that and eating, we settled down and relax for the night. This would be our last night alone before reaching the Planet of Prime. I didn't press her. Instead, we spent the last night watching the stars and just relaxing in each other's company. It was nice to just relax together after getting everything fixed from the pirate bear attack.

"What do you think the planet will be like? I mean, I know it is covered in sand, but what do you think the people will be like?" Kyrina asked as she pushed herself into my chest.

Kyrina was partially lying on me while I leaned against a bulkhead and looked out one of the observation ports. It was all stars out there and blackness, but I was made enjoyable to have as a backdrop while we talked. I leaned my head forward and kissed the top of her head before speaking.

"I'm not really, sure. There will be people from all over and not just Prime. I think we will run into a lot of new races and peoples, but we just have to be careful because everyone is coming here for the same thing."

"What do you mean? Do you think people will try to do something to use before the race?"

"Yeah, no doubt about it. You heard Irellia, even the King is out to get people here! What will stop the others then? The race isn't going to be the only thing that will be dangerous. We will have to stay together and not get separated, OK?"

"Mmhm, I really hope one of us can win, I know there will be a lot of people competing, but that just means we have to work hard, right?"

"We will make it. We have more than just us. Remember, the other three teams will be there to help as well. Too bad we won't get to see them much before the race starts."

"Yeah, but with all the dangers, this is our best plan. I think Irellia said there would be someone to meet us and take us to our hotel. After that, we can go start exploring the capital and maybe find some other clothes, haha. All I have to wear is my shirt and pants from when I got picked up. What are you going to wear?"

"That is a surprise for tomorrow! Anyways," Kyrina turned, and I could feel her breast push into me as her face turned to mine. "I look better without a dress on, right?"

Kyrina moved up my front, dragging her chest up mine and then slowly connecting with my lips. I was surprised by the questing tongue that reached for mine. As our lips press together and I pulled her body into mine. This time, I picked her up while we still kissed and started to walk back to my room.

We each had separate rooms and had been using them, but I went mine and laid her on the bed. I then laid down with her and took her back in my arms.

"Are you sure about this? I don't want to push you."

"Is it OK if we just lay here with each other?"

"Mhmm, I'm happy just to hold you in my arms; there is no rush," I spoke, looking into her beautiful eyes.

Kyrina smiled and tucked herself into my chest. It was nice to actually take it slow with a girl for once, every other relationship I had with the other girls always ended with sex right away, so this was a change in pace. I pulled her closer into my arms and ran my hands over her body.

We were both in our underwear, again, so I was able to run my hands over the spots that would have typically been covered. I was able to feel the mechanical parts and feel the smooth change between skin and metal. Each time I touched one of these spots, Kyrina's body would tremble, but I would kiss her and tell her it was alright, and I thought each part of her was beautiful.

We spent the rest of the night relaxing in each other's arms. Before I fell asleep, thoughts of the race started to worry me. There was something different about Kyrina, and now I was beginning to feel more attached to her.

I would protect her, but were these new feelings going to cause me problems in the future? Maybe it was best to keep everything chemical. It was too late for that now, I thought as I drifted off.

The next morning, I was awoken by a kiss. Kyrina was leaning over the top of me in her UW issue navy blue bra and panties. No matter how straightforward the underwear was, the rest of Kyrina was far from basic. I gazed at her chest before pulling her in for more kisses, and we rolled around in bed until a green light went off, and a dinging sound got our attention.

We pulled apart and gave each other large smiles and then sighed together. It was time to leave our private time behind until it was time to go back home again. I pulled myself up, kissed Kyrina again as I did, then grabbed her and spun, putting her between the bed and me. We shared another passionate kiss before she left the room to go get changed.

Prime, this was going to be an exciting trip. I looked out my small viewing port, but my side was turned from the planet, but I could see thousands of floating space ships out in space. They were of all shapes and sizes, but none of them were much bigger than our own.

I got my clothes on and then went back for a quick check to see if I could find the girl's shuttles, but there were too many ships to identify anyone. I turned and left my room, looking as I passed to see if I could catch a glimpse of Kryina, but the door was closed. Sighing, I headed back to the front of the ship to get a better look at Prime.

Once I was up in the cabin, I was able to see the massive sandy planet below us. Small crafts were making trips up and down from the surface. They were docking at a large station not too far from where we had parked our ship. There wasn't a designated parking place, but small vessels were making trips to the other ship and back to the main building.

I looked out at the planet, and I was a bit disappointed. The entire planet was a tan sand color, nothing like the blue and green world Tama and I had come from. I was still staring at the sandy sphere of Prime when I heard the cabin door slide open behind me.
