A Space Pirate Frigate had spotted an unknown escape pod near the asteroid 2010-C. The Frigate had retrieved it, and to their leader's approval, was taking it to their new home world, Zebes II. What they didn't know was that the Emperor of the former Humanus Empire was in that pod, ready to conquer this dimension and recreate the Empire.
"Ridlita, we are now in orbit around Zebes II. We shall be transporting the pod to Research Lab I so Science Team can study it." Said the Space Pirate Captain. "Excellent.
Once you find out where it came from, tell me." Said Ridlita, the daughter of Ridley, their former leader. "Of course, ma'am." The Space Pirate Captain them ended the transmission.
From there, a group of Space Pirates had transported the pod from their ship to the Research Lab. They didn't know whether to be careful with it, so it had a few dents. The Emperor inside, was not having too much fun. "What are they doing out there, using me for target practice? Or do they just enjoy roughing up escape pods?" Though the Emperor, as he was in stasis. Finally, the Pirates were able to get the pod to the Lab. Being lazy, they forgot to put up the containment field in case the person inside would try to escape. The Pirates, after moving the pod, walked out of the lab, sealing the door when they left.
After hours of waiting, the nocturnal stage of the planet's rotation, or "Night", was here. All of the Pirates were asleep, including most of the Security Force. "Good, they're all asleep. This is a good time to escape." The Emperor engaged the opening mechanism inside the pod, and he was out. "Hmm, they forgot to put up the containment field. This will be easier than I though." Said the Emperor, as he examined the room. "Ooh, someone just left a plasma rifle out in the open. You know that's not too safe." The Emperor grabbed it, and continued to walk around the room.
"Well, the Space Pirates in this dimension are more advanced than the ones I destroyed years ago. The ones here might have actually been able to disable my fleets. But, I know they won't be able to defeat me, as soon as I use their own ships against them." The Emperor walked to the door, and blasted it open. Suprisingly, no security guard came to apprehend him. "Wow, this is easier than I though it would be!" Exclaimed The Emperor, as he went through the corridors of the Space Pirate complex.
At last, he came upon Ship Bay 3. There was one security guard at the entrance, but he was asleep. The Emperor sneaked by quietly, and entered the bay. "Now, let's see, which one to choose?" The Emperor looked at all the ships, and decided to take a Frigate, much like the one that retrieved him. He hid in the cargo bay, waiting for this ship to take off. Once it did, he could kill the crew and control the ship. "Soon, the reign of Emperor Seth O. Clarence shall begin again!" Said the Emperor, as he waited in the Cargo Bay. Little did he know, that this Frigat would be lauching the nex day to resupply the Space Pirate base on Planet Tontai, about 60 lightyears away from the main base on Zebes II.
