Voice: Spyke... you are the one...
Spyke: *Stands in the spotlight. Darkness surrounds him. He is being called to.* What? The one? The one for what?
Voice: You are destined... you have a great power...
Spyke: Power? What power!?
Voice: You have been chosen for greatness...
Spyke: What is it? What am I destined to do!?
Voice: You...
Spyke: Yes?
Voice: Are destined...
Spyke: Come on!
Voice: ... to make Brian eggs and bacon for breakfast this morning.
Spyke: YES! I... wait, what!?
*Spyke opens his eyes, waking up on top of his bed. The intercom was on.*
Spyke: Dammit, Brian!
*The sound of someone running off comes from the opposite end of the intercom.*
Oh, these were usual days on the spaceship (the ship didn't have a name; They just called it "Spaceship".) The ship was calculated to arrive in the Pegasus galaxy in about 5 days. So they were pretty bored, considering half of the mechanisms on board were automatically controlled.
And because of having nothing to do, Brian and Spyke got steadily more and more lazy (Ritz was busy with experiments. Neither of the boys really bothered to look at them.) Their laziness began to get pretty extreme...
Brian: *From one end of the restroom* Hey Spyke, can you wipe for me?
Spyke: *From the opposing end* Only if you wipe for me.
Brian: ... guess I won't be wiping, then...
Well, that was a little too extreme. But you get the point.
Spyke: *Later that day* So Ritz. What's been up with you? A little bit more quiet than usual.
Ritz: *Looks up from computer screen* Oh, I've just been worried about the space ninjas...
Spyke: Oh, God... you've been talking too much to Brian...
Ritz: Oh no. They're out there, alright. I've seen them.
Spyke: ... space ninjas? Ritz, that has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard. That's crazier than the time Brian tried to mutate a squirrel into a human so he could find out how they climbed up trees so quickly.
Ritz: I thought he wanted to find out how they groomed their bushy tails and if acorns tasted like wooden cupcakes...
Spyke: I think you're missing the point...
Ritz: Oh... well ya. Space ninjas. They exist. They use new forms of spaceship technology to cloak themselves and give them extreme speed. Kind of how ninjas do battle in real life.
Spyke: Ah. Ok. So would be able to detect one if it came into attack range, even though we're in hyperspace right now and it would be near impossible to land an attack at such speeds?
*A huge bang came from the side of the ship. The whole place jolted. Alarms wailed.*
Ritz: That would be a no...
Brian: *Yells from other room* Hey guys! I think someone just shot at us!
Spyke:Really? What gave that away!?
Brian: Uh... the huge bang?
Spyke: That was kinda rhetorical...
Brian: Oh... hey Ritz, can I shoot the railgun?
Ritz: Yes. Now hurry up there.
Spyke: What!? You're giving him the-
Ritz: You can shoot the other one.
Spyke: ... YES! *Runs off*
Battle had begun!
But who wanted to shoot them down?
And why are ninjas flying in space?!
... then again, who said they can't? eek
