Chapter 45: Getting out from The Cruiser into The Space
Dora kept standing this close to James as her anger was boiling inside her without an end. She wasn't mad at James, but at herself, she was known as the bloody princess, the wisest princess, the strongest phoenix, but now she knew how foolish she was.
If James didn't warn her just now, she would have fallen like an idiot into her enemy trap, for the third time in a row.
"Do you have a way to escape this trap?" she asked as she began to consider his opinions seriously.
Her enemy seemed to study all her thoughts and she was naked in front of him, but he didn't know about James. That meant if there was a way to escape this well planned trap, it lied with James.
"Actually by being out here we have already escaped his trap, but we have to keep our lives then," James said.
"That's pretty the same as getting inside that zone," Dora said dejectedly. There was no way out of this, as being outside was risky as being inside that zone.
"We are inside that Immortal's trap from the start," James muttered, "That man isn't easy, we need to act rashly and do something he wouldn't expect."
Dora's depressed soul was ignited at once when she heard his words, as she said:
"Tell me, what do you plan to do?"
"Do you want me to call the fleet?" Rigo asked while he was busy evading the concentrated attacks from everywhere.
"No, leave them for now, we will need them to move at the right moment," James said.
"Do you have a fleet?" Dora asked with surprise, as she always thought he was a rogue space adventurer. James didn't reply to her as he moved heading towards the heart of the ship:
"Follow me, we need to act now."
Dora glanced at the back of James as he disappeared from the commanding deck. She hesitated for a brief moment before she rushed after him.
"What is your plan? Tell me."
She called on him as she was trying to catch up. James didn't stop when he reached the heart, as he kept moving, and he headed straight to the engine room.
"Why are we going to the engine room?" Dora asked panting after him.
"We aren't heading to the engine room," he briefly replied without even turning to look at her.
"The engine room is the only thing lying there, only if…" she paused as she realized suddenly what he was aiming for, "Are you sure of this?"
James didn't answer her until he reached his destination. the lowest point of the cruiser was the place of the engine, and also there was a small room that nobody would care about… the waste room.
James touched the sideway button to open the door to this room, to be welcomed by a trench smell. He was taken aback for a second before he firmed his resolve and moved into this room.
Dora was behind him, as she was offended by this smell. She watched James entering without any hesitation, so she swallowed her pride as a girl and followed him.
"Now what?" she asked as she found James standing in the middle of wasted materials of the cruiser. The place was foul and toxic, as this room contained all the wastes from the cruiser, especially from the engine.
That meant these materials had many hazards that would injure them if they stayed here for a long time.
"Do you have your special space suit?" James asked casually as he leaned to the ground and caught with a metallic rope made of strange metal, and then he pulled it hard.
"Of course, I'm always wearing it all the time," She replied as she feared the worst.
"Good, me too, I never let it be away from my body. Now, activate it," James said as he pulled the metallic rope stronger this time. A soft click sound emerged in the room, but it was like a huge explosion for Dora, who rushed to press a button over her wrist.
She didn't get the chance to make sure the suit was activated, as a hole was opened out of nowhere linking here with the outside space, and her body got sucked up immediately with irresistible force to be thrown in the wide space side by side with the waste.
James' plan was simple, but crazy. He decided to invade Dora's cruiser, and to make his exit from the cruiser unnoticed, he had used this weird way to leave the ship.
Just as Dora's body was thrown into the space under the effect of the suction force, James was ready to throw that metallic rope he salvaged from the room towards her.
She was like a drowning looking for a haystack to survive, so when the robe was thrown to her, she got it at once, and now they both were connected together.
James was spinning like her, but he used the motion device in his suit to stabilize himself. He didn't overdo it, as he feared to attract any unneeded attention.
Dora was screaming inside her suit, as she didn't feel anything around her except the distant flashes of stars kept spinning and spinning in front of her. James grabbed the rope and then pulled it suddenly in a strong move to force Dora's body to decelerate abruptly.
He didn't stop in his place as he feared Dora would let the rope go, and so he moved as discreetly as he could towards her. She didn���t let go of the rope, fortunately, which made his job easier.
Once he reached her, he hugged her body tightly and looked straight towards her eyes as he motioned her to follow him.
Dora glared at him, if they were on the ground or inside a safe cruiser now, she wouldn't hesitate to beat him to death right now.
James was looking for Dora's cruiser. It was no coincidence for their small cruiser to get marked so rapidly just after the transmission, which meant that Dora's main cruiser was nearby.
The only reason they couldn't see it till now was simple, as James had already predicted this move from this sly enemy.
The trick that Immortal did was to remove that eye-catching slogan from the surface of the ship, and he could evade any questions regarding this move by a simpler reason, to escape any focus over the princess main ship from the incoming enemies.
