At the edge of the solar system in a certain plane, on an uninhabited planet far from the stars, Lady Elizabeth Swan, one of the "three generals" of the K-Corps Servants, is patiently waiting for the arrival of the "guest".

Although today's meeting meant a lot to her, Lady Elizabeth didn't change out of her Servant Army Commander uniform, but instead embellished herself with some of the pirate world's classic accessories as a Pirate Emperor.

However, in addition to the mix-and-match accessories of the Age of Discovery, there is also the cosmic travel bubble capsule that comes with the commander's uniform.

A special substance covers her body, allowing her to balance the pressure in her body while breathing in space, and it comes with a life-sustaining module that guarantees her life in a crisis.

Elizabeth held a signaler in her palm.

In case of any danger, she can activate the thing and call the Speedster to take her out of here.

But the former Pirate Emperor believed that he would never be in danger today, not because of unfounded confidence, but simply because the person she was going to meet with today meant so much to her.

"Countdown to 5 minutes"

Having tempered herself into a good commander in the constant war, she glanced down at the same Mason watch on her wrist, and there was only so much left before the appointed time.

If the other party doesn't come again, then you have to go back.

She took a deep breath and looked up at the no-man's sky around her, the dim starlight dotted the dark curtain, and it seemed to be filled with a sense of loneliness.

Just like her state of mind at this time.

I want the other party to come, but I don't want the other party to appear.

Contradictory but logically consistent.

"Buzz"

Three minutes into the countdown, a faint light suddenly lit up, and a circle of light appeared at the end of Elizabeth's vision, which was the movement of the wormhole opening during the plane shift.

Then a black starship sped out of it.

It wasn't pretty, it was filled with a dark and eerie sense of oppression, much like an enlarged version of the landing ship used by the cleanups, modified from the plundering mothership of the Cosmic Locust Zetari, and it smelled of cheap cannon fodder from head to toe.

Although in the eyes of the Mason Group, the cleaners who always appear as miscellaneous soldiers can no longer be considered an adversary, in the governing system of the Council, these high-quality cannon fodder that can be consumed at any time and do not cause any adverse effects are still quite useful deterrents.

Especially for some of the fringe forces that are currently on the move.

The Cleaners themselves may not be powerful, but their presence near a certain Earth means that the Council is watching them, and if something happens, an even more dangerous conqueror will descend in an instant.

Elizabeth stared at the ship, her finger resting on the activation key of the annunciator.

She is not flustered, she is very stable after seeing a lot of big scenes.

Ten seconds later, a large area of small shuttles was released from the black mothership, like a swarm of bees around the mother-nest, in the dense stars flashing, an inconspicuous shuttle quietly turned off the lights and broke away from the swarm and headed towards Elizabeth's uninhabited planet.

It landed on the barren ground a few hundred meters away from Elizabeth in the countdown of a minute.

As the hatch opened, a familiar figure appeared in front of the former Pirate Emperor, making her eyes immediately red, it was her husband!

It is the father of her children, the navigator she once had, and the eternal destination in the ocean of her soul.

But Elizabeth still did not show up.

Instead, he held the kinetic beam dual-purpose commander's gun on his waist, and as long as the other party showed any hostility, a bullet was the best farewell gift for his husband.

She plays her part in a great and difficult operation, she has her own heavy mission to fulfill, and in such a state of affairs, personal emotions are no longer enough to be the cause and reason to move her to action.

As the other party approached quickly, his figure became clearer in Lady Elizabeth's eyes.

Will Turner!

The man who had disappeared into the waves of submergence with the flying Dutchman and all the necromancy and cursed at the time of the destruction of the pirate world was no longer the monster he had once fused with the creatures of the sea.

Instead, he fully regained his human form and even returned to his youthful and healthy form.

He wears a black Cleaner Commander uniform, a black molten sword at his waist, a black helmet, and a cloak that wraps around his body.

It's full of a sense of Darth Vader-like oppression.

If Mason is here, he must complain that the first sentence of the two meeting will be the classic I am your father?

Of course, considering the relationship between the two, maybe the father should be changed to husband, and then Elizabeth shouted NO in a desperate tone!!

It would have been a dramatic scene, but it didn't happen.

"Elizabeth? Are you here, my dear? ”

Turner took off his dark helmet on his own initiative, revealing his handsome face and long blond hair, and he called out affectionately, and Lady Elizabeth burst into tears, but she still stood up after wiping away her tears.

Holding the activated rifle aimed at her husband, the two were separated by five meters, and the military uniforms on each other's bodies represented their current opposing camps.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Lady Elizabeth said in a dumb voice:

"I was just about to leave."

"There was a bit of a problem with the plane teleportation, probably because of the interference of the Eye of Time and Space that made me five minutes late, but fortunately I was able to catch up."

Captain Turner smiled charmingly, ignoring his wife's dangerous gun and striding forward to take the Pirate Emperor into his arms as he struggled slightly.

The two are as enthusiastic as they see once in a decade in their home world, and they stage an emotional outburst when they reunite on an uninhabited planet at the edge of the solar system.

After a quick and passionate deep kiss, Elizabeth suddenly pushed him away and said:

"I haven't confirmed you're awake yet! You've joined the Cleaners, and they're sure to give you some makeovers! ”

"I'll admit, they've done a lot to me."

Turner shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said:

"We're not entities but ghosts, so instead of the Normalcy Cleaner, they're using dark magic instead of a demon-like creature modification.

But our world is gone, and the curse of Hell has gradually restored me to my sanity and my original body.

It's not just me, Barbossa and the others, the Pirate Kings have all regained their consciousness, and now we have an entire legion of Cleaners in control of the Third Order of the Conquerors.

Of course, compared to my powerful wife, my achievements can only be overshadowed.

Your and your K-Legion have made a splash through the world through several major wars, and I've even got a briefing on how dashing you commanded the Helicarrier assault in the Gotham World War.

As for control

No, don't worry about that. ”

Captain Turner explained seriously:

"We are the grassroots terminal of the Cleanup Legion under the Quint system, and we are responsible for transporting some secret items for Old A that cannot be known by others.

This kind of operation is mixed up with the complex maneuvers of the cleaners to hide their eyes.

My immediate supervisor was J Sr., Jack's father.

In fact, he was recruited to the Quint Society to be responsible for logistics and security, and his unique powers can be used in every world with oceans.

We, the Pirate Kings, have been given this privilege as well. ”

Mason said something similar.

Lady Elizabeth was relieved, she withdrew her gun, and said:

"The captain told me that you would have a good time among the cleaners because of Old A, and I thought he was comforting me."

"Mason is as wise as ever."

Captain Turner sighed.

But he didn't have time to catch up with his own wife, so he took out a device from the hidden compartment of his belt and stuffed it into Elizabeth's hand.

He said:

"This is all the information Mason needs, including the coordinates of several secret bases for Project Weapon X that we have inquired about, as well as the manufacturing centers of the Legion of Cleaners, the world known as the 'Dark Lair'.

It also contains the coordinates of the home port and base world of each conqueror sequence, as well as the large interstellar warehouse where they store important materials.

However, it should be noted that not all of this information is collected by us, after all, our position in this violent system is relatively low, and we cannot collect a lot of sensitive information.

Much of this information was personally given to me by His Excellency Steve Rogers, the commander of the Third Order of the Conquerors.

Unfortunately, the coordinates of the base world of the Council remain top secret.

Lord Steve feared that Mason would launch a devastating offensive there, so he didn't disclose it, and it was quite normal for him to be concerned because it was his hometown. ”

"You say this is the information given by the commander of the third sequence?"

Lady Elizabeth's eyes narrowed at once, because of her professional sensitivity, and she said:

"Isn't that the descendant of Old A? Now that the conflict between Commander Mason and Lao A has completely broken out because of the completion of the integration project, how can he be so kind?

Could this be a trap? ”

"That's the second thing I'm here to tell you today."

Turner took a deep breath and whispered in his wife's ear:

"Commander Steve asked me to tell Mason that he was trying to convince Old A to accept the current result, and he said that Mason had done what he had promised, and that he was willing to gamble, at least personally."

"Tsk, I don't believe what I'm saying."

Elizabeth sneered and said:

"Miss Hunter doesn't have a good opinion of the commander, but since he said so, I'll bring it to me. But Turner, what about you?

What are your options? ”

She stared into her husband's eyes and asked:

"Which side are you on? The old A who gave you shelter and saved you from the disaster? Or is it the Mason that gives us a hopeful future possibility? ”

"How can I have any autonomy?"

Captain Turner laughingly grabbed his wife's shoulders and hugged her into his arms again.

He sniffed his wife's hair and quipped:

"What place can a married man with children expect in the family? Of course, you, the shopkeeper, will follow wherever he goes.

Barbossa conveyed the same message before I came.

Wherever her precious daughter is, he is.

Don't worry about our future, Commander Steve has already issued a blank letter of appointment for exploration, and if the situation changes, we can use this thing to leave the Cleanup's system and travel to another plane in a short period of time.

But we don't want to just leave. ”

Turner's eyes sparkled with determination, and he said:

"I will never forget the destruction of our homeland, the twisted lives of the Cleaners who should not exist! Now that we have this opportunity, we pirates who have lost our homeland will naturally have to make a big fuss before we can leave satisfied.

Before sailing to the new world, make a final sacrifice to the passing of the old era! ”

"Henry will be very happy to see you now, although the boy has not said anything, but I know that he is also worried about his father's fate."

Elizabeth hugged her husband, and she said very relaxed:

"Finally. I can finally stop hesitating to announce to our child that his father is still as upright and courageous as he imagined.

In that future, which is already within reach, we will finally be reunited.

All people, all those who have lost their homeland, will eventually find their own harbor and leave everything behind to live in it for the rest of their lives. ”

Turner replied with silence, and in this rare tranquility he closed his eyes, and after a few minutes sighed and said:

"Barbossa is calling me, I have to go back, because the events caused by Mason have caused the governing system under the Council to be in full swing, and we have been frequently mobilized to carry out deterrence missions everywhere.

But that's a good thing.

They're scared.

They were afraid that Mason would surprise them more, and that was exactly what we wanted to see. ”

Turner took a step back and put back on the dark helmet of the high-ranking commander of the Cleaner Legion, and said to the red-eyed Elizabeth with an urn:

"Remember to remind Mason that this information, while credible, does not mean that the Conquerors will not prepare in advance, especially the Clones of the First Sequence.

After the destruction of Utopia, they have placed Mason's bounty in the position of the former Supreme Professor.

Please Mason be sure to be safe, there are already too many malicious eyes watching him. ”

"Well, I'll tell him."

Elizabeth stood in the barren area and watched her husband return to the shuttle, then took off and swayed like time and space through the dark starry sea, sketching a heart-shaped wake in the air with great piloting skills before returning to her ship.

This scene made the former Pirate Emperor pout.

Deciding that her husband was too naïve, she wiped her eyes and activated the signal.

The tunnel of speed force suddenly opened, and Xiao Shen, who was grabbing the pizza, rushed over and grabbed the pirate's arm, and pulled her back to the New Osborne Tower with a whoosh.

Switching almost seamlessly, Elizabeth was back in Mason's office.

The captain was there making plans for tonight's action, and the large group of artistic and long-haired people were standing at the window and arguing with themselves, and the quarrel was even more fierce.

"I've got the information."

Lady Elizabeth handed Mason the device in her hand, and the captain looked at her, noticing the tears on her face, and asked:

"Did the meeting go well?"

"It's going well beyond your imagination, and there's news that might surprise you."

Elizabeth relayed what Turner had told her to Mason, who was visibly stunned when she heard Steve Rogers utter the phrase "willing to gamble."

Probably he didn't expect that one of the three people in the joking agreement in the afterlife bar would really take it seriously.

It's a pity that it's not the old A, it's really a pity.

"I know, thank you for your hard work, go and enjoy your vacation."

Mason inserted the information device in his hand into a decoder, and then squeezed his eyes at Lady Elizabeth and said:

"I guess you must have a lot to say to your son right now, go ahead and tell him that his father is in the dark and still serving the right thing.

By the way, relay the news to Serena and let her know that her pirate boss Daddy has changed his ways.

I've heard that she is very popular in Gotham High School.

But anyway, until Barbossa has permission to do so, I think she'd better choose her boyfriend properly, lest the hapless man who covets her body be slashed by her pirate daddy. ”

Lady Elizabeth laughed when she heard this, turned and walked away easily, and a few seconds later, a large star map unfolded before Mason's eyes.

He searched and examined it, and soon settled on a location for action.

"This is it."

Mason turned to the crowd at the window and said:

"Come and see the coordinates, you'll have to send us over tonight. Also, how did you discuss it with your personalities? Who is the executor of the cradle plan?

I have no psychic abilities.

I can't use that outrageously powerful brainwave booster 7.0. ”
