[System points: 555,863 Cp]
The sun is shining bright upon the blue sea. Between the clear sky and the ocean a red Fighter jet flew across the sea, like a hot knife through butter.
Sitting in the pilot seat was none other than Sam D Iaboli himself. Casually sitting back on the pilot seat inside the red Fighter jet and enjoying the view of the clouds flying above.
"Sam, how long will we arrive at the place you mentioned? I'm running low on Energon." The machine complained like a grumpy child.
Sitting up, Sam glanced at the fuel tank display in front of him and lazily replied. "Quit whining Starscream, you still have around 12% Energon in your system. I'll charge you up when you have less than 5%." Sam said smugly.
"Aaahhh! Please don't starve me like that Lord Sam. I don't want to die again!" Starscream wiggled in her flying vehicle mode, shaking the passenger inside.
"You are lucky that I don't have a vehicle mode or else I would have suplex dropped you into a sea king's mouth." Sam faked impatience while inwardly smug seeing Starscream desperately clinging on to him knowing that he is her life line.
"No please don't, Lord Sam. I was wrong, I will never disobey you. I could be useful to you, so please." Starscream begged almost tearing up in her vehicle mode.
[Sam pov, flash back]
After resurrecting Starscream, she realized that I am the only source of Energon available and decided to attack me for it like a classical Decepticon.
Since I have anticipated this reaction from her, I made sure to keep her Energon reserve at 0.5% before reactivating her. I fought back not to kill, but to subdue her and let her waste her energy.
Credit where it was due, she lasted for more than ten minutes before collapsing from low Energon. I kept her on the threshold of consciousness and unconsciousness, proceeded to torture her by relentlessly tickling her till she begged me to stop and proceeded with the torture for another hour until she swears submission. This netted me a good 400 Cp.
[End of Flashback]
From how I edited Starscream's personality, I know for a fact that she hadn't completely given me her allegiance yet. Unlike Megatron who expects everyone to be his pawn by default, I take the personality of my Subordinates into consideration. 'Know yourself, know your Subordinates and know your enemies.'
"Lord Sam, my scanners detected a wooden ship with a group of natives aboard." I perked up.
"Do those humans have a skull on their flag?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, affirmative." Starscream reported, awaiting my orders.
looking out the cockpit, I spotted a somewhat familiar pirate flag, belonging to the black cat pirates if I wasn't mistaken. Then that means that I'm currently around the waters close to Syrup village, since the cat fetish pirates usually hang out around the area.
"Attack, engage in aerial assault, shoot to kill. I will provide you with the necessary Energons." I ordered and transferred some of my Energon to Starscream.
Starscream did not reply verbally. As soon as I gave her the order, she opened fire at the ship of the black cat pirates. I sat back comfortably in the pilot seat and watched the spectacular live action of low budget furries vs fighter jet.
It doesn't matter if on land or on the seas, aerial mobility reigns supreme. The black cat pirates scrambled about on their ship while Starscream guns down them one by one like shooting fishes in a bucket.
Some of the cat pirates tried to return fire using flintlocks and muskets, but Starscream's aerial mobility and speed made their attempts of retaliation obsolete.
"Ha ha ha ha, die inferior humans, perish under the might of the great Starscream!" Starscream cackled with glee in her tone. It seems like she's enjoying herself and letting out some steam from my bullying.
While she is enjoying the onslaught, the edge of my lips also curved up hearing the pleasant sound of the system.
*Ding*
[ Infamous pirates crew attacked, Obtain 600 CP total.]
I perked up. Normally the system isn't this generous. It seems that attacking pirates using a fighter jet is a more chaotic act than simply setting their ship on fire. Or perhaps it's because they are plot relevant characters.
Under the onslaught of Starscream's superior firearms and aerial maneuvers, the black cat pirates fell one by one to the might of a single Cybertronian. This further highlights the combat prowess of the transformers.
After a few minutes the last cat pirate on the ship has been gunned down by Starscream.
Stepping on the ship I looked around at the carnage my first subordinate had made. I don't feel anything towards these pirates, they loot, pillage and kill for a living. Since they walk this path, they shouldn't complain about being butchered like their victims.
Not far from me, Starscream picked up a pair of pink heart shaped glasses from a blonde man that dressed up like a hipster. I recall him being Jango, the guy that hypnotized Axehand Morgan and made him believe he killed the Black cat pirate Captain Kuro.
Yet in truth, Captain Kuro faked his death, so he could infiltrate the noble family in syrup village under the identity "Klahadore" and obtain their wealth after he secretly gets rid of the noble family. And thus, becomes the only one to inherit their wealth.
"Starscream, change of plans. We are making a detour." I said to Starscream.
Starscream perked up. "Where are we going now?" she asked not really paying much attention, since she currently opened up one of the pirates so she can see what's inside the human and learn about its bodily functions. Basically, she dissected a pirate out of curiosity.
Her actions scored me an additional 50 Cp. In just a day and a half, Starscream has already earned me 690 Cp. I think my Chaos points investment into Starscream will pay off in the long run.
Come to think about it, I should summon a few more subordinates to help me farm Chaos points.
Besides, not long ago I discovered a "rate up" system mechanic.
By doing a ten pull on specific places that have a "affinity" with the bot in question, the chances of drawing the specific decepticon in question would rise depending on the environment.
[Syrup village next morning]
Waking up with nauseous migraine and tied up on a chair with a burlap bag over his head, the butler that is known as Klahadore by the inhabitants of syrup village did not wake up well.
His keen hearing told him that he is outside the mansion and somewhere in the village square of syrup village, since he could hear the sounds of anxious villagers around him.
From the situation he finds himself in, he deduces that he and the villagers are captured by a group of pirates that is in the middle of rounding up the villagers and will sell them into slavery.
A not so ideal predicament for him, but he the hundred scheme Kuro is already thinking of a way to turn this situation in his favor. Using this situation, all he needs is a chance to free himself and overpower the pirate crew and become a hero in the eyes of the villagers. Thus, gaining reputation and further cementing his reputation and gaining the trust of the young lady Kaya.....
Then a violent grip yanked the sack from his head, cutting off his schemes and the crowd in front of Captain Kuro gasped.
Looking around Kuro found himself tied to a robust chair on an elevated wooden platform. Unlike what he initially guessed, the crowd of villagers weren't tied up like himself, but were instead gathered around the platform looking at him with unease and apprehension in their eyes. Amidst the crowd there was Kaya sitting on a wheelchair with the sheep like butler Merry next to her.
Before Kuro could ask what was going on, a cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.
"And here, ladies and gentlemen. Behold, the infamous pirate Captain Kuro of the hundred schemes. Faked his death, and hidden amongst you all this time, like a wolf in sheep's clothing." The voice had a tint of cruel amusement to it. Next to the chair he sat on was a bounty poster of himself displayed to the villagers.
Hearing those words, Kuro's face instantly became pale. All the careful planning and his act as a butler to infiltrate Syrup village to steal Kaya's wealth once she "accidentally" passes away and where he becomes the rightfully inheritor of her money, all his plans and schemes have collapsed right in front of him in just a brief moment.
[Sam's PoV]
After revealing to the townsfolk of The Butler Klahadore being actually pirate Captain Kuro of the hundred schemes, I gleefully watched the color drain away from the glasses wearer's face. The sound of the system and the townsfolk chattering at the revelation are like music to my ears, but I didn't bothered to check my harvest just yet.
The more they looked at the bounty poster and compared it to the man tied to the chair on the stage, the more they were convinced that the one they knew as Klahadore is actually the pirate on the bounty poster.
It took no small amount of effort to prepare this stage, kidnap Kuro in the middle of the night and rally the villagers in the early morning. Most importantly, I needed to threaten good man merry to give me access to the mansion's backdoor, so I can slip some sleeping drugs into Kuro's dinner and hoist him out once he is out cold. Of course I elaborated about my reason for doing it to the faithful sheepy butler, yet I can understand that he is still worry of me despite my good intentions. in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps out of desperation, Captain Kuro began to laugh with a murderous smile like a cornered animal, which in turn made the gathered crowd anxious.
"Release me. My crew is stationed close to this island. When they hear that I have been captured, they will slaughter everyone of you lot." Kuro said threateningly.
Despite the villagers are on the verge of panicking, I was completely unbothered by his declaration. "Bold to assume that your crew is still alive." I scoffed, looking down Kuro and pointed to the stage that we are on.
"This stage is made from the wood of your ship's deck. I brought it all the way over here just so you can die on the same ship deck as your entire crew." Kuro's expression froze again if I just said something ridiculous. yet when he looked at the wooden floor board of the stage more carefully, the stage indeed had the same wooden texture of his ship with a few blood stains still visible.
I gestured to Starscream on the side of the stage. She gracefully walked onto the stage, with a cloth bag in hand. I reached into the bag and took out a severed head and presented it to Kuro and the crowd. " Fear not, people of syrup village. The black cat pirates that had been haunting the seas around this island had been dealt with yesterday. This is the vice captain of the black cat pirates Jango." I held the head up high for everyone to see it and held up a wanted poster of Jango in my other hand.
Starscream took out the pirate flag of the black cat pirates and ripped it into pieces like commen garbage. At this point Kuro's expression is already that of despair and broke down mentally.
Captain Kuro wanted to say something, but I decided to wrap things up. I gestured to Starscream.
She nods and points her long rifle attached to her forearm at the back of Kuro's head. At the same time I subtly opened my system and timed a ten pull with the moment Starscream fires.
*Bang*
