6 Chapter 6: The Start of a Grind.

I write in a piece of paper what the upgrade needed. And it needs a lot of things. Titanium Alloys, Biometric Locking Mechanism, Internal Energy Cells, Storage units. These are the things that I needed to make the Armory.

Then there's the Smithy which required, High Temperature Alloy Furnace, Nanobot Repair station, Raw materials stocks, and Workstations.

The Storage units requires, Reinforced Carbon Fiber Panels, Storage System, Anti Gravity System, Cooling System.

Then the Stealth System, Quantum Stealth Cloak, Sensor Disruption modules, Energy Absorption panels, Stealth Navigation Algorithm.

Lastly, the Weaponry, which is a laser gun, it took High Energy Crystal, Plasma Chamber, Advanced Optics and Reinforced weapon mounts.

All of them are expensive to gets, because the amount needed is a lot! Where am I gonna get them all? I don't know. But what I do know is that it is mandatory for me to go for an upgrade now because basic Stealth System isn't going to be enough for me to survive anymore.

Due to...

"Captain, we have entered the territory of the Space Pirates. It would be wise for us to go back rather than risking getting detected." Gaidos warned.

Naturally, I went to the cockpit and sees the motherships of the Space Pirates from a far. Even from faraway, it's still very big, but not as big as an Interstellar Ark...

"The Red Gunners Gang? That's very dangerous indeed..." I replied to Gaidos.

"The Red Gunners are known for their ability to detect stealth ships coming and attack them when the stealth ships thinking they're safe... I suggest that we turn back around and retreat." 

"Well, that's the normal answer... However, Red Gunners are also known for their rash decision because they think that people with stealth is an easy target. What about, they're the target though?"

"You are planning to fight them using a Stealth Escape Craft? A Basic one?" Gaidos was absolutely not having it, thinking that we're going to go against the Red Gunners.

I smiled and muttered "Of course not. However, let's bait one of them and scavenge their ship for some upgrade material. Red Gunners, although they looked like a fleet from a mother ship, they're basically an individual group of pirates that belong to the same faction. It's not like fighting one of them wouldn't make a difference."

"If that's what you want, then we shall do it. There's an asteroid nearby, Captain. We can go there and as we're about to hide behind it, we can put away the stealth mechanism and bait the pirates that saw us."

"Exactly what I thought."

I look at North West and saw a pretty sizeable meteorites just floating about. and on the opposite of the meteor, there's a singular ship parked, and the personnel are cleaning up the ship and doing a maintenance on the thruster...

Knowing that they're understaffed, I went toward the meteorite and do the plan that Gaidos stated. As I'm about to fully hide behind the asteroid, I make sure that my stealth system is out.

Then, I immediately leave the spaceship wearing Horizon Guardian. I use the thruster and go below the ship to set up an ambush myself...

I peek around the meteorite and saw that the parked spaceship are going toward me at a pretty decent speed, but I can see that they're approaching me carefully, knowing that if they revealed their position, I could escape... But, that's not my plan...

"Come here and let me ambush you myself..."

I waited for a while and eventually, the ship stop in front of my ship, pinning my ship against the meteorite.

Then, my ship opened and I immediately get behind them all. There's 3 people in total and they didn't realize that I'm behind them all...

I acted like one of them and when they enter the ship, they lean against the door and then wait for movement from within... They still didn't realize that I'm with them.

So, I use the equipment provided by my space suit and get a knife out... Then, I just stab one of the guy from behind...

"AGH!!!" He screamed audibly in the entrance chamber and that finally gets their attention...

"Man Down!!! Who are you?!" One of the guy screamed... There's only two of them remaining and they're on the opposite side of me...

I twist my knife around and make sure that I killed the guy I'm with and after he drop down lightly... I replied "You came to my ship and dare asked who I am? What a dumb pirates you are."

I put away my knife immediately and let the blood on my hand make them think that I killed the guy with my hand alone...

"What?! You are the owner of this ship?! Where did you came from? We made sure that there's no one following us!"

"I mean, why would I tell what my plan is, dumbass?" I use my thruster and dashed toward them at an insane speed.

They were caught off guard. Not expecting that my suit is advanced... They split up but the other guy didn't get much because he's really stuck near the wall on his back and left side.

If he goes to the right side, then he would crash to the other guy he's with... So, naturally... I chased after the guy that has more room, rather than the guy that's stuck near walls.

"You dare go against me? Let's go then! I'll show you what I can do!" That guy squared up and ready to fight me bare handed.

So, I raise my fist and send a hammer fist down toward him, he put his arms up trying to guard my hammer fist. But that's when I get a hammer from my body suit nano tools and then slam the hammer down with full power.

*Cracks!!!* His arms breaks audibly and he screamed in pain "AGH!!!"

"You little shit!" The other guy saw that opportunity to attack me and jumped toward me.

I utilize my thruster and send a kick to his rib and slam him down to the ground using my leg...

"UGH!!" His ribs was bruised bad, but that allows me to finish the guy I just hammered.

"Goodbye!"

He looked at me with fear deep in his eyes, despair sinking in knowing that there's no way he can survive it. He closed his eyes and I slam the hammer down to his temple... Smashing through his mask and forehead down to his skull. Turning it to mush.

"You... How are you this strong?"

"... Strong? It's not strong. It's planning ahead and acting decisively!"

The guy that I just kick the rib, I slam his head with my hammer as well and that leaves them as corpse.

I make sure that they're all dead by stabbing them in their heart. Although it leaves a lot of stains, I needed to do it because I need to make sure they're gone...

"Phew. Now that they're gone, it's time for me to harvest their ships!" At last, I have started my first harvesting that hopefully, gives me a lot of materials to upgrade my ships.
