“Lower your weapons!” The woman yelled out before someone actually fired a shot. She did not like the idea of killing women or children. But she also did not like the young woman in front of her. Fate’s words really pushed her limits. “We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. My name is Captain Fennly. The reason we boarded your ship was because this ship matches a ship one of our Federation ships….”

“Your Federation ships. Not our. I have nothing to do with the Federation and will never have anything to do with it.” Fate interrupted, causing Captain Fennly to frown.

“If you are within the Federation controlled space, you are part of the Federation.” Captain Fennly retorted.

“Oh? So if I said you are my slave because you are within my controlled space of my ship, that means I own you? If so, can you clean up the stain on the carpet over there? I do not like my slaves acting high and mighty on my ship. Ah well, you three are the only actual slaves I have on my ship. Now that I think about  it, you are too well dressed for slaves, you should strip down to your underwear before you do anything else. Those clothes do not match your status.” Fate gave Captain Fennly a mocking smile as if to say: ‘You will never win in a battle of words with me. I have dealt with worse people than you.’

Mike, who was standing off to the side, almost burst out laughing. He felt that his boss’s tongue was poisonous enough to poison the entire universe. He could see the captain lady in front of him clenching her fists. She was trying her hardest not to attack.

“Captain, let’s just get rid of her!” The male guard who Fate picked on earlier yelled out as he stepped forward, pointing his gun once more at Fate.

Fate's lips curled down as her eyes turned cold. “Tent boy, you better lower your weapon before you lose your little life. I have already been very polite as it is. I have allowed you to point your weapons at me and my people two times now. There will not be a third time.”

“I think it's the other way around, Miss. As a captain of the Federation, I have overlooked your transgression against a Federation officer and a Federation captain. You either stand down, or I will be forced to arrest you. We are here to do a search of your ship. Whether you like it or not, we will search this ship.” Captain Fennly finally showed her true colors. She was done playing miss nice girl.

“Oh?” Fate looked over at Mike, who knowingly understood what Fate was about to do. 

As soon as Fate disappeared, Mike ran forward and pulled all four girls to the ground and pulled out his weapon, readying himself to attack at any time. Captain Fennly realized she had seriously underestimated Fate. “Stay on guard. She's a trinity!”

“Hehe….” A crazed laugh echoed through the room. This sent shivers down the spines of the three from the Federation. 

Captain Fennly looked around her, scanning the area. The room was small, so there were no hiding spots. She only saw the four on the floor and nothing else. “Did she run…?”

“Run? Why would I run when there is food in front of me?” Fate’s voice echoed behind Captain Fennly, causing her to quickly turn around and draw her weapon. But as she did, her eyes shot wide open when she saw the bloodied arm of the young woman in front of her. She looked at the smiling face that was licking the blood from her hands and shivered. When her eyes met Fate's fate's lips parted: “Did you know… I don’t like to just kill people. I like to dig their hearts out to see how they taste.”

Fate licked her fingers one by one as she savored the sweet taste of the trinity heart she had just eaten. She never expected the guard she had teased was also a trinity. She looked up at Captain Fennly and nibbled her finger as she giggled once more. “Did you know…. That trinity hearts have a sweet taste? Once you taste one, you will always crave more. Now tell me….” Fate titled her head to the side, her eyes flashing with a light of craziness. “How does your heart taste? Is it sweet, or is it bitter?”

“Fuck! Shoot her!” Captain Fennly no longer cared about any women or children as she opened fire. But to her expectations, Fate only let out a maniacal laugh. The beams from the weapons the Federation used hit Fate in her shoulder and stomach, but Fate only continued to giggle non stop.

Captain Fennly felt regret in her heart as she watched the young woman in front of her suddenly disappear again, only to reappear behind her other guard. She truly regretted not coming with more people! 

Her guard didn’t even have time to react before a hand was sticking out of his chest holding a bloodied heart. “Captain Fennly, was it? How does it feel to watch your subordinates having their hearts ripped out? I thought trinities were supposed to be these powerful beings, yet they so easily die with just a small poke from me. Well… At least they are good sources of food for me. But you see, Captain Fennly, I am not the only one you need to be careful of.”

“What!? Ugh!” Captain Fennly felt a sharp pain in her back and looked down to see a hand sticking out of her chest. She turned her head to see a fox girl staring back at her with cold eyes. She then looked at Fate, who was taking a bite out of the heart in her hand, and realized she had stepped into a den of monsters. “Cough… You monster….”

[Hunger]: 60 → 100/100

“Hmm? Me a monster? How can that be? You came to my home and tried to order us around, wanting to search our home without rhyme or reason. You pointed weapons at defenseless people. And you call me a monster? I think not, old lady.” Fate smiled as she walked forward. She reached out and dug her hand in the woman’s chest. She then looked at Adel and said: “You missed her heart. You need more practice.”

“Sorry, Master.”Adel lowered her head in shame. She had actually tried to copy Fate and dig out the woman's heart, but she missed.

“Argh! You will regret this.” Captain Fennly touched her wrist, and her body began to glow before disappearing. 

Fate clicked her tongue and yelled out: “Mike, jump us to Gallows Doc and do it now!”

“On it!” Mike jumped up and ran out of the room. 

Fate stood there and looked at the blood on the floor and frowned. “I think I brought us a lot of trouble…. But I just couldn’t take it anymore….” Sighing, she turned to the girls and yelled out: “Prepare for jump! It might get bumpy.”
