The Nemesis

Frank must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing he was aware of was shouting and alarms. He snapped open his eyes and saw the light above him emitting a red light rather than the expected white. Frank looked around to see if anything was wrong, but as the door was closed, he couldn't tell what was going on. He could hear faint yelling and strange noises that he couldn't identify. Frank wasn't sure what he should do considering there wasn't anything to do when tied to a chair.

Frank started to panic when the yelling got closer to where he was. His panic increased when he heard the shots of ray guns as well. This couldn't be good. Suddenly the door to his 'room' opened and all four of the pirates rushed inside. Sep hit the control panel to close the door before San shot it with his gun to keep it that way. The four pirates were panting and out of breath. Zori had a scorch mark on his upper arm while San and Sep had them on their legs and hands. Elli appeared to be free of scorch marks but there was blood streaming from her nose.

"How did they get here!? There was no way they could no we'd be here!" yelled Sep.
San nodded his agreement and looked at Elli with wide, panicked eyes. Zori looked rattled as well. Elli however, looked calm but angry. Frank did NOT want to be on the receiving end of her anger.
"No idea but they're here and we need to get rid of them", Elli said to her group.
"Who's out there?" Frank asked in a small voice.
They all startled, seeming to only just remember that he was there.
"Oh no one", scoffed Elli. "Just a bunch of idiots who call themselves The Lightning Chasers. Think they're so great. Always trying to steal our cargo...."
She drifted off as a nasty smile spread across her lips. She turned to her group and made a bunch of weird hand gestures. They all nodded and shuffled around the room.

Frank squeaked as Sep and San untied him and hauled him out of the chair. When he was standing, they retied his hands behind his back. Frank had a really bad feeling about what was going on. Elli was standing by the door while Zori messed with the fried control panel. Frank could still hear gun shots and yelling from behind the door, maybe there were more pirates on the ship then Frank first thought. Whether this was a good or bad thing, he wasn't sure. More pirates just meant more people who would probably kill him when they got the chance, but they could also provide a distraction for him to escape. Probably not, but he could hope. Suddenly there was a loud explosion from the other side of the door. Elli cursed and nodded to Zori. He pressed some buttons on the fried control pad and somehow the door opened. Frank was then roughly pushed out into the corridor. He didn't even have time to look around before he was being pulled down the hallway to his left.

The four pirates had their ray guns drawn and were constantly looking around for enemies. Frank tried to use the fact that Sep and San only held him by one arm each to get free from their grip, but it was no use. Frank's constant struggling caused Sep to hit him in the stomach, effectively stopping the movements. There was a crash behind the group and they all spun to face the noise. A man stood at the other end of the corridor with a gun raised towards the pirates. He was tall and thin with large sunglasses covering his eyes. Frank thought he looked pretty cool, until he took a shot at the group with his gun. Frank heard a cry from Elli and was dropped to the floor while the three standing pirates shot at the man. Frank saw a dark red patch form on the man's shoulder and he fell to the floor. Frank wasn't sure if the man was alive but the pirates wasted no time in hauling Frank to his feet.

They dragged Frank through a few more twisting corridors after shooting two more people who Frank assumed were Lightning Chasers. Eventually, they arrived at the ship's bridge. Sep and San pushed Frank into a chair which was placed in the middle of the large space, which was actually a rather impractical place for a chair. He took the chance to look around at the bridge. Sep was standing next to him to make sure he didn't get up while San stood by the door. Zori was looking at what appeared to be diagrams of the ship with little flashing lights all over them and Elli was pressing buttons and pulling leavers on the ship's main controls.

There was more yelling coming from outside. It was distant at first, but became clearer as it got closer. The voices were unfamiliar to Frank, which was unsurprising as he had only been in contact with the other four people in the room. The voices were now clear enough for Frank to understand.
"Hurry up we have to get to the bridge!

Notes

Sorry it's a bit short but the next chapter will focus on a different group of characters and it didn't make sense in the same chapter

Hope you like it :)
