“Now, now Mr Blake!" the shocked pirate said, his right hand raised placatingly. "There's no need for this to get ugly!"

“Oh yes, there's definitely a need." John said, his voice dark and threatening.

“I surrender!" the Pirate Lord said abruptly. "You do-gooders Like it when people surrender right?" he said pleadingly as he backed away from them with his hands in the air.

"I'm not that good" John replied ominously.

#Yes! keep this fool distracted just a moment Longer!* Hitch thought to himself gleefully as he backed into a nearby table. His hand dropping down as if to steady himself, but instead furtively picking up a remote on the table behind him.

#Just don't let him see the robot* Hitch thought as his hand gripped the remote to activate his security droid and pressed a button.

"John, watch out!" Alyssa cried as she shoved John forward with all her strength, dropping her assault rifle in the process.

The room was suddenly Lit up with shocking strobing brightness as the unseen robot in the right hand corner of the room powered up and fired an arm mounted Gatling Laser in their direction. Pulses of light zipped between John and Alyssa to score burning holes in the wall opposite. John rolled forward with the momentum of the shove and then found himself face to face with a stubby pistol levelled in his direction.

“Say goodbye Mr Blake!" The pirate Lord grinned evilly as he prepared to pull the trigger.

The robot suddenly clanked loudly, its head jerking to the side as it lurched forward on unsteady feet. It pivoted at the waist and pointed the Gatling laser at the Pirate Lord.

“Stupid robot, what's wrong with you!" Hitch cried out in fear, pressing buttons on his remote to no avail.

"Goodbye." John said with finality, guessing who now controlled the robot.

The whirling Gatling laser trembled as it fired, bolt after bolt of high powered energy pulses searing through the terrified Pirate and sending his perforated corpse flying into the stack of crates on the left of the room. The crates tumbled over and broke apart, leaving a fortune in precious gems scattered over the floor. John and Alyssa stood in stunned silence as they gazed at the wealth of gemstones that had shockingly appeared at their feet.

Abruptly a claxon began to wail alarmingly in the background, piercing the quiet in the room.

“What's that?" Alyssa asked John curiously.

John shrugged, having no idea, but his watch began to flash insistently. He pressed the button to receive the call and Sparks‘ panicked face filled the Holo image.

"You have to get out of there!" she pleaded desperately.

"Why, what's wrong?" John asked, confused.

“He must have had a dead man's switch, the self destruct's been activated! The Stalingrad's going to blow in three minutes and I can't turn it off!" she yelled.

“Ok we're Leaving!" John said and ended the call, looking down at the fortune in gems with regret.

“Come on, we haven't got Long until the self destruct blows!" John said to Alyssa, who had started walking across the room to a doorway opposite, her rifle lying forgotten in the doorway.

“Just one moment John, I want to check something" the beautiful blonde said distractedly. She felt strangely drawn to a door leading through to a bedroom at the back of Hitch's private quarters and she moved forward resolutely.

Alyssa leaned into the bedroom, letting her eyes adjust to the dim illumination and saw a huge silk sheeted bed at the back of the room. Sitting in the middle of the bed was a figure that defied belief. The figure was a girl, wearing a school uniform, complete with plaid skirt, white stockings and a white shirt. However what filled that shirt was an absolutely enormous set of gigantic tits. Each was the size of a beachball and on the tiny girl's slim frame, looked positively ludicrous. Finally managing to tear away her eyes from the massive creamy skinned mammaries, Alyssa looked at the girl's face for the first time.

Framed by outrageously voluminous light pink hair, a face peeked out that looked Like it belonged on some kind of manga cartoon character. The girl's eyes were huge, at least three times bigger than a normal girls, and she had a tiny button nose above a small mouth.

“Are you this one's new master now?" The girl squeaked in a childlike high pitched voice.
