Above the stars

Chapter 4# new friends old enemies

Almost a week later I found the coordinates and had no one but my little friend I named him Henry and he is fun, energetic, and can get very defensive. I learned that the hard way... so I land on the planet and get linked to a channel chat. "Hello I'm sorry I sent you to fake coordinates I can't risk the government finding us. There should be a person coming with a new ship with supplies just enough for you. If you got any questions ask now." He said finishing his speech. "Who are you?" I asked with curiosity. "Ah I am commander Death but I'm not commander of a army I run a pirate safe haven, and looking at how you took my men out without any problem you made everyone work harder so I thank you. Anything else?"
"What are you?"
"Ah... I'm a failed experiment from the old days and you are a human what next" I was shocked from his response in the old days they tried genetically create super humans to fight in the galactic war of 2807 only five was a success. But the problem was with they're mentality they broke them all thinking they were useless and two killed themselves, one failed then was sent away somewhere unknown to date but knowing he is one of the two who survived I must meet him. Eventually the new ship came with a angry alien "Val cuati ba!" He screamed and aimed his multi tool at me. "If I see one scratch on him I will have you for dinner!" Death said angrily "oi kid in the ship is enough supplies for you to get here and eat. I hope you like rice balls."
"Why rice balls?" I said with curiosity.
"It was either that or dead naked nuclear infected rats so I wouldn't complain."
"Yum..." I said with disgust while I got on the ship with the small creature on my shoulder. The alien launched then shot rockets at my ship destroying it. I went to sleep a few minutes after he took off then after a few hours of sleeping he lands and wakes me up. We got out of the ship and studied my surroundings, there was aliens of all races and small amount of humans. "Hello friend!" I jumped as I heard Death behind me. "Oh hello uh Death? I presume?..." I said with nervousness. "Yes now who is the pilot who killed my men?" He responded with anger in his mask. "I am Lucian and I'm sorry I didn't mean to I was protecting myself and my friends."
"Hmm good enough of a reason." He walked off and did a come gesture for me to follow so I followed him to what seems to be a office. "Now you will have to go through some tests to stay with us." He said as he sat. "Anything." I said anxiously. "Only some people survive these tests and those men and women are the people out there. Now you will need to fight four battle ships at the same times." Battle ships are more advanced versions of ships and most leave dead no wonder most pirates are awesome at combat. "Yes sir." I said and saluted, he laughs hard. "Oh please don't we don't salute we just get shit done now get going." He said and I walked out to my new ship. "What a piece of shit he has." A man says while talking to his buddies. "Hey! You wanna make something of it!" I yelled at him and he looks at me. "Yea I want to make something of it." He said as he walked towards me, I threw the first punch and knocked him on his ass. "Dumbass." I said as I spit on his face and hopped in my ship. I took off and started my adventure.
