Space Pirates 2: Ryoko's Warning, Amber Riel [books for 6 year olds to read themselves txt] 📗

Zelda and Ben were walking through the town, which people were now walking around and going to different places. Zelda and Ben were heading back to the ship. "Captain.... I mean Zelda."
"Yea."
"Why didn't you tell me that you talked to your dead cousin?"
Zelda was embarrassed of what Ben might have thought. "Because like everyone else you wouldn't of believed me."
"I believe you." He took her hand. "It might sound crazy, but I believe you."
Zelda smiled. "Thanks. Benjamin, can you go ahead to the ship? I have something that I have to do. I'll meet you there okay."
"Okay."
Zelda watched Ben as he walked away then walked in another direction.


Larry was at a store. He was walking around looking for Gregory. He seen a can roll from the ally between two stores. The ally was kind of dark. He went to see where the can came from when he noticed Zelda standing there.
"HI, LARRY!"
"Hi, Zelda."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Greg."
"Oh." Zelda paused. Even though she was 20, she had a mind of a 5 year old. There were times when she acted like an adult but most of the time she acted like she was 5. When she talked most of the time, she kind of sounded like a 5 year old as well. "Hey, do you want to see my pirate ship?"
"YOU HAVE A PIRATE SHIP?!" Larry asked, excited.
Zelda smiled. "Yep. It's really big, too."
"COOL!" Larry realized something and lost the excitement. "Oh."
"Oh.... What?"
"I have to tell Gregory."
Zelda didn't think about that. She didn't want Gregory to know. He'd kill her. She had to come up with a lie, but what would it be? She thought and an idea popped into her head. "I talked to Gregory already. I'm going to.... Babysit you for a few days...." she told him. "Actually, more," she told herself.
"You're going to watch me," Larry said, not really buying Zelda's lie, "but Gregory doesn't trust you."
Crap. How was she going to get him to believe her? She thought of something. "What makes you think that he doesn't trust me?" she asked.
"Because he told me that he doesn't trust Zelda."
"Maybe he was talking about a different Zelda." She was hoping that he would take the bait.
"No," he replied, shaking his head, "he was talking about you because he said that today after he talked to you and my brother, Ben."
Dang. Zelda's plan wasn't working. This kid was smart. "Well, he changed his mind. Now let's go." She grabbed his hand and dragged him behind her as they headed to the ship.


Peter, Ben, and Austin were on the deck of the White Rose. They were talking. "You know the captain's been acting weird lately," Austin pointed out.
"It's probably those nightmares she's been having," Peter said.
"It's the same one," Ben added. "She told me."
"Yea.... She probably wishes that you were there to save her," Austin joked.
"She told me and that's not the kind of nightmare."
"Oh.... Really?"
"Speaking of the captain, here she comes, and she has a kid with her," Peter said.
"A kid?" Ben asked, confused.
Zelda and Larry walked onto the ship.
Ben walked over to them. "Are we going to leave now?"
"No. I have a feeling that Olivia's going to change her mind."
"Okay. Can I ask you something else?"
"Sure."
"Why did you kidnap my brother?"
"I didn't kidnap him," Zelda simply said. "I'm babysitting him," she paused, "but no one knows."
Ben couldn't believe what she just said. "YOU KIDNAPPED HIM!"
"I'M BABYSITTING HIM!"
"You.... Never mind. Just forget it." Ben didn't want to argue with his girlfriend, especially not in front of the guys.

Olivia was laying on the bed, thinking about the conversation she had with Zelda. Her thoughts went back to what Zelda had said about Donny.
"Olivia," she heard a ghostly voice say.
She sat up and looked around. She looked at Donny who was now growling. It had to be a coincidence. Zelda was crazy and Olivia didn't want to believe her. She was hearing things.
"Olivia," the voice repeated.
Olivia looked around again.
"OLIVIA!" Ryoko ordered, appearing. She was floating in midair. "Look at me."
Olivia looked at Ryoko who was now on the floor, leaning against the wall. Olivia was shocked by the appearance of the ghost. "Ryoko? You're suppose to dead."
Ryoko laughed. "That's what Zelda said."
"Zelda wasn't lying," Olivia said to herself.
"Of course she wasn't."
Olivia gave Ryoko a funny look.
"Hey, I'm dead, not deaf. Now, what I told Zelda was that you two have to work together to destory Will, or the both of you will get killed."
"I'd rather die than to work with Zelda."
Ryoko knew that was coming and she also knew that she was going to have to persuade Olivia the same way she persuaded Zelda. She looked at John who was sitting on his bed, reading a book. She knew instanley what she would have to say to persuade Olivia. "Are you willing to let John go into the arms of another woman?"
"What?" Olivia asked, caught off gaurd by the question. She hid the fact that she had any feelings for John. No one knew her secret. How did Ryoko know?
"Yea. That's what's going to happen if you get killed."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Olivia lied.
John stopped reading, marked his place, set the book on the bed, stood up and walked over to the cell door. "Captain, who are you talking to?" he asked.
"I'm talking to her," Olivia said, pointing to the wall.
"I don't see anyone." John couldn't see the ghost and thought that Olivia was just talking to herself.
Ryoko started laughing at Olivia. She knew what was going on.
"She's right here. How can you not see her?"
"Sorry, captain, but I don't see anyone. I hate to say it but you're kind of acting like Zelda right now."
Ryoko laughed even harder.
"But she's right here."
"There's no one there."
"She's right here, laughing." Olivia couldn't believe that John didn't see Ryoko. She could see Ryoko so she figured that he did too.
Ryoko tried to stop laughing. "He can't see me," she finally said. "Watch." She teleported from Olivia's cell to John's cell. "Oh yea. He can't hear me either. See.... John," she said, talking to John.
John didn't answer.
"John."
He still didn't reply.
"JOHN!"
He still didn't respond.
"Hello," Ryoko said, placing a hand in front of his face, moving it up and down. "Is anyone home?" She placed her hand down. "See what I mean. Now, if I chose to let him see and hear me, then I could of, but I didn't."
"Why not?"
Ryoko kind of laughed. "Why not? So that way he can think that you're crazy, just like you thought that Zelda was crazy. So, you have a choice, work with Zelda or die?"
Olivia knew that she was going to regret it. "I'll work with Zelda, but this doesn't mean I'll be her friend."
"I don't care if the both of you become friends after all this.... I don't care if the both of you stay enemies.... I don't care what happens after all this. Just as long as Will doesn't destory this universe. That guy needs to learn a lesson."
There was a long pause.
"Now, I'm going to go tell Zelda." Ryoko disappeared.
Olivia couldn't believe what just happened. She looked around, still shocked. She was trying to make since of everything. She didn't know if it was all in her head or if it really happened.

Magma was in the throne room, sitting down on her throne, in the fire castle. The throne room was the biggest room in the castle and it was also the ball room. Magma's throne along with another throne were on a stage. The thrones were fire red and in the between them was a little table. A red carpet was flowing off from the stage. There were two tables one on each wall. Leo walked in followed by an older man.
The older man had grayish-white, short hair and was dressed as a bounty hunter. He looked like he was in his 70's or 80's.
"Good afternoon, your highness," Leo said, bowing.
"Same to you, Leo." Magma noticed the older bounty hunter. She recognized him. "Russel.... I haven't seen you in years."
"That's because I was sent to another universe to work. I came back when I found out that my son here was having a hard time doing his job," Russel said, looking at Leo.
"Dad," Leo said, embarrassed.
"I'm glad that you're back, Russel," Magma said. "Now, I heard news that my brother is back. Where is he?"
"He's in the dinning room, princess," Leo answered.
Magma smiled. "Good."


A guy in his 20's was in the dinning room, eating turkey with mash potatoes and cream corn on top. The dinning room was the second biggest room in the castle. The table was big enough for ten people and their ten chairs. There were eight chairs on each side and one at each end. There was a chandlier hanging over the table. The guy had a glass ice tea. While he was eating, Magma walked in and rushed to give him a hug. That ticked him off.
"I missed you so much. I'm glad that...."
The guy pulled away from the hug. "Can't you see that I'm eating?"
Magma broke out of the hug. "Fine. I'm sorry, but I haven't seen you in a long time. You're my brother.... My only brother and I just.... Never mind."
Now, this guy was younger than Magma, and even though he was her brother, he didn't look Asian, while she did. He had brown hair, it actually looked kind of blonde. "Magma," he said, "I'm going to destroy the universe."
"Destroy the universe?"
"Yes."
There was a long, painful pause.
Magma waited a little while before saying anything. "But then you'll destroy the planet...."
Will nodded his head.
"People are going to die, you're planning to kill yourself as well."
"I know."
"Now, I know I'm evil, but I
