Karma's Twin Sister

Part 74

The module begins to slowly inch towards the space station, spinning in the vacuum of the universe.

"Rendezvous complete. Commence HTV catch." Someone said.

"Roger." Someone replies back.

"Mechanical arm: operation verified." The arm went to the module.

"Three more meters. Two meters. One meter." The mechanical arm comes into contact with the module.

"HTV catch: Complete. Commence gripping. Demonstration ship: grip complete."

The module is finally attached to the entrance of the space station, giving out a small pang. "Docking complete. Shield interface: all green. Air pressure: normal. Permission granted to open hatch. Welcome to the space station."

Inside the space station, a fat, beard guy said to a Japanese man, "Your country sent you some toys to play with. why don't you go out there and welcome it with a big hug?"

"Rodger that," He said, opening the hatch and goes down to find four empty spacesuits.

"Huh? Where's the dummy?" He thinks out loud. "And why are there four spacesuits-" The two appeared from the shadows to grab the astronaut who went to greet their package by the arm and dragged him inside.

"What's going on?" The bearded guy asks hurriedly. "huh?" Surprised to see what was inside.

"Oh hi, there..." Nagisa greets nervously, holding what appears to be a knife and a bomb.

"Hey, it's Mizui, right? I've seen you on TV!" Karma said to the person he's holding hostage with a knife to his throat.

"What the? They didn't say anything about kids being onboard."

"The comm-link with Earth has been cut!" Ritsu giggles in the phone, holding a pair of scissors.

"Excellent job, Ritsu." Nagisa thanked her, before clearing his throat. "So we have a bomb. We would like to keep things nice and peaceful. Back away please let's talk this out."

"It's getting a little cramped in here for my taste. I vote we move this inside, where there's more elbow room. Yep, that's sound right let's go." Karma raised his knife.

"Ok, so all we're after is a copy of the American team's research data. That's it. You have my word we won't be making any other demand." Nagisa 'threatened' politely.

"You probably already know this, but our teacher is the monster you're studying. No telling what he'll do the planet if you refuse what we're asking for, he's capable of anything." Karma smiles.

"owww!! not having the proper equipment sure makes a difference." A foreign voice muttered from within the shuttle. The astronauts who were calm before could not help but frown upon this new intruder. During the process of launching into space (f/n) didn't exactly stick the landing and passed out from the zero gravity.

"wow, I didn't know you were still alive." Karma teased.

"Shut up you try going into space without a suit." She retorts rubbing her head.

"no thanks, I rather stay alive."

Rolling her eyes she glanced at her surroundings, then her lips curled into a smile and waved. "hello, we are the students of the world's most-want-dead octopus." Then she turned to the two boys shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe this is your well-thought-out-plan, seriously these people who are living in space, performing an ultra dangerous experiment and you are here threatening them."

"Your classmate is right, so put down the weapon and let our crew go we are willing to talk this out like civilized people." The bearded astronaut said applauding their attempt.

With a kick from (f/n), Karma finally, unwillingly let go of his hostage. Once the hostage guy was free he floats towards his crewmate (hostage guy, yep that sound right Imma call him that). "this is nuts. even if you do steal the data, how do you plan on getting home, you're gonna ask the guys you just threatened to give you a lift." Hostage guy asked.

"oh, that won't be a problem I know my way around these old equipments. I think my mother built some of these."(f/n) said after carefully looking around. "Or not. Well, whatever I can just leave it to Ritsu. Plus that monster teacher outside."

"hey (f/n), can I come out now," Itona asked.

"Oh, you're still alive." (f/n) turned around.

"This is incredibly reckless." Another astronaut said. "Is this fun for you? I'm mean we all think we're invincible when we are young but damn."

"Look I'm not here because I want to be," Karma spoke up. "No, I'm here because my friend asked me to."

"oh no not another one of those disgusting heartfelt speeches. I think I'm gonna throw up." (f/n) rolled her eyes.

"shh if this works we might be able to finish the mission, look around, and make fun of Karma later." Itona elbows her. "If you ask me that killing 3 birds with one bullet."

"I like the way you think Lab Rat."

"Look at us, we're a bunch of kids about to assassinate our teacher." Karma continued after glaring at his sister for a while. "that puts us in a unique position. We understand how fragile life is. Just like you am I right?"

"You put a lot of stock into those hairbrained schemes your target cooks up, huh? Well boys, guess I'll take it upon myself to accept your demands" Turning around the bearded guy to his crewmates. "we'll let them see the files. In exchange, you can earn those files by helping us unload our supplies. Let's put these kids to work so they can get out of here."

Scanning through the files at lightning speed, (f/n) smiled and gave them a thumbs-up, "yep this is the real deal, this might actually save him."

"there you go, every last file. If there's a way to diffuse him it's in there."

"no signs of falsification, relevant experiments confirmed." Ritsu also gave an ok. "I'll download a copy."

"that should do it," unplugging the USB, Karma turned to his classmate. "now time to run tests of our own."

"yep, Itona! are you done staring at how floating water works. let's go we're leaving." (f/n) facepalmed at the pure bliss Itona is having in space.

"When the hell do you think I'll ever have another chance to see things float at zero gravity."

"Uh by visiting space legally after going through lots of training." (f/n) said as a matter-of-factly as she dragged him back into the shuttle."

"Hey heads up." Karma threw the bomb they used to threaten them earlier at them. Surprised he fumbled with it. "it's filled with sweet bean jelly, so knock yourselves out."

"Ohh you don't say." they said dumbfounded

"oh don't be like that at least you killed some time." He smiled bending the knife showing its also a fake.

***********

"That was fun." (f/n) said stretching at a bit after the landing ignoring her nagging, worried sick teacher. "do you have any idea how reckless that was, are you even listening to me."

"so how is it, Okuda? think you can make it."

"yep, as a matter of fact, the compound I made a while ago, is almost identical in structure," She said adjusting her glasses.

"Seriously?! but isn't this too easy!"

"easy my foot, first we learned the dark history of our teacher, then our class went into a civil war. Going into space is also no easy feat." (f/n) said. "Nagisa, Karma and Itona's life may not be important. But my life is far too valuable."

"huh say that again dear sister of mine." Karma gave her a smile that's not really a smile.

"hahaha" (f/n) nervously laughed. "Retreat!!" She escaped through the window.
