Chapter 150: The Curse of the Mystran-Yumerian Duo!

Just as Mike and Heidi were getting over their "meeting a god" experience, a sudden beeping noise caught their attention.

A Celestic Police spaceship was rapidly descending toward the planet.

Mike and Heidi immediately bolted in the direction of the forest.

"We need to leave. NOW." Mike muttered under his breath, sprinting ahead.

"Yeah, no way I'm dealing with this headache again!" Heidi added, keeping pace.

Everyone else stared, confused.

"Wait, what's going on?" Legend asked, raising an eyebrow.

The monster—who was still tied up by the prisoners—sighed dramatically.

"Sigh... it's their fault."

Everyone turned to him.

"Explain," Legend demanded.

The monster grinned wickedly. "Well, you see, I was locked up in a Celestic Police high-security cell. Coded, physically unbreakable. Or so they thought."

He paused for dramatic effect.

"Then... these two idiots crashed their oversized spaceship straight into the Celestic Police Cell Compartment, and the impact was big enough to completely destroy my gate. So, obviously, I walked out. You know, continued my business."

Everyone turned to look at Mike and Heidi.

"...So it was your fault." Olive deadpanned.

Mike scoffed. "Not my fault their security is weak."

"It was UNBREAKABLE!" The monster snapped.

"And yet, it broke," Mike said smugly.

Heidi grinned. "Our ship's kinda overpowered like that."

Legend sighed. "So let me get this straight. The Celestic Police are after you because you let a criminal escape?"

"No," the monster corrected. "They also want damage charges. I mean, those guys were muttering about it nonstop while chasing me. You're paying for this,' 'We need compensation,' blah blah blah."

Legend looked at them flatly. "You're running because of a fine?"

Mike grumbled. "That's not the point! We don't have time for bureaucracy!"

Olive's face went pale. "I need to hide in the castle. I don't want to meet the Celestic Police ever again."

Jen and Zack just shook their heads.

"Are they really Celestic Warriors?" Zack whispered.

"They seem like immature troublemakers," Jen muttered.

Meanwhile, Ian was grinning ear to ear.

"This... this is GOLD." He whispered excitedly to himself. "A new documentary idea—'The Celestic Warriors: Legendary Saviors or Cosmic Menaces?'"

Mike and Heidi simultaneously glared at him.

"DON'T YOU DARE."

Just as they were about to disappear into the forest, a powerful force halted them mid-sprint.

It was Legend.

"You two shouldn't run from your problems," he said firmly. "You are Celestic Warriors. Face it like one."

Mike and Heidi exchanged an exasperated glance.

"Easy for you to say," Mike muttered.

"Yeah, you're a god. You don't have to pay bills," Heidi grumbled.

Legend ignored them and effortlessly dragged them back to the landing site.

By then, the Celestic Police spaceship had fully landed, and officers emerged.

They took one look at the bound monster, grunted in approval, and immediately restrained him.

"This criminal has caused us a great deal of trouble. Thank you for recapturing him."

The prisoners grinned proudly, while Mike and Heidi dusted their hands off like they had done all the work.

But then—

One of the officers turned to them.

"Now, about the damage compensation..."

Mike and Heidi's smug expressions froze.

"Uhhh..." Mike stalled.

"Yeah... about that," Heidi hesitated.

"We, uh... don't actually have that much cash," Mike admitted.

The Celestic Police officers frowned.

"Then we have no choice but to take you into custody."

Mike and Heidi immediately panicked.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT—"

"Hold on, hold on—"

Just before they could be handcuffed, Legend stepped forward.

"Enough," he said, his voice echoing with authority.

Everyone froze.

Legend reached into thin air and pulled out a massive, gleaming treasure chest, filled with rare and valuable artifacts.

"Take this," he said, "as compensation for their... stupidity. I have no need for it."

The Celestic Police officers stared at the treasure chest.

Then at each other.

Then back at the treasure chest.

"...This is more than enough," the lead officer admitted.

Mike and Heidi sighed in relief.

"We're free," Mike whispered.

"Thank god—oh wait, that's you," Heidi said, giving Legend a thumbs-up.

Legend just shook his head.

"Try not to crash into any more prison compartments."

Mike and Heidi watched as the Celestic Police officers took the treasure chest and left.

But instead of celebrating, they exchanged guilty looks.

"I guess we kinda owe you now, huh?" Heidi muttered, rubbing the back of her head.

"Yeah, that's a lot of treasure..." Mike sighed. "That's gotta be worth a fortune."

Legend, however, simply shook his head.

"No need to worry," he said. "I found that treasure chest long ago, but as a god, I had no use for it. It was simply gathering dust. I wanted to give it away anyway, so you two saved me the trouble."

Mike and Heidi stared at him for a moment.

Then they let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Oh, thank goodness."

"I really thought we'd be paying that off for centuries."

Despite their relief, they still felt a little embarrassed.

"Alright, we've caused enough chaos. We'll be leaving now—" Heidi said quickly.

"Yeah, nice meeting you all, let's pretend none of this ever happened—" Mike added, already turning to go.

But before they could escape, Patrick and Grace stopped them.

"Wait a minute," Patrick said, squinting.

"You two are actually troublemakers too, aren't you?" Grace added.

Mike and Heidi froze.

"Excuse me?" Mike asked.

Patrick and Grace crossed their arms, smirking.

"You act all mighty as Celestic Warriors, but let's face it—you crash-landed into a high-security prison, broke open a criminal's cell, and now got saved by a god because you couldn't afford to pay for damages."

"...Okay, when you say it like that, it sounds bad." Heidi muttered.

Patrick and Grace exchanged a knowing look.

They remembered their prison escape with Safari's crew and other prisoners.

They had caused a lot of trouble during there escape.

And even Legend himself had called them troublemakers.

Now, looking at Mike and Heidi, they couldn't help but think—

"...They're exactly like us."

They all stared at each other, realization sinking in.

Mike and Heidi scowled.

"We are NOTHING like you." Mike protested.

"Absolutely different!" Heidi insisted.

Patrick and Grace just smirked.

As Patrick (from Yumeria) and Grace (from Mystra) stared at Mike (from Mystra) and Heidi (from Yumeria), an undeniable realization hit them.

"...Wait a second," Patrick muttered.

"Mike is from Mystra... and Heidi is from Yumeria..." Grace whispered.

They both turned back to look at each other, eyes wide.

"And they're a chaotic duo, just like us."

A heavy silence fell over them.

Then, like lightning striking, the same thought hit them both.

"A Mystran and Yumerian duo... is DESTINED to be troublemakers!"

It was a universal truth.

A cosmic law.

A forbidden pattern in the fabric of reality.

Patrick and Grace both gasped.

"We've cracked the code."

"This explains EVERYTHING."

But before they could celebrate their groundbreaking discovery—

"HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON."

A familiar, too-excited voice interrupted.

They slowly turned their heads to see Ian, clutching his camera, shaking with excitement.

"Did I just hear..." he panted, "that Mystrans and Yumerians together... are FATED to be troublemakers?! This is DOCUMENTARY GOLD!!"

Patrick and Grace's faces went pale.

"...Oh no."

They had just accidentally given Ian another groundbreaking topic.

He was already setting up his camera, ready to narrate their "scientific discovery."

"The Legend of the Mystran-Yumerian Curse... a never-before-seen phenomenon that spans across galaxies!" Ian raved. "Two star-crossed warriors, destined to create chaos wherever they go—"

"STOP!!" Patrick and Grace yelled at the same time.

They immediately turned and ran.

"DELETE THAT FOOTAGE!!"

"WE TAKE IT BACK!!"

Ian chased after them, camera rolling. "No take-backs! History must be recorded!"

Meanwhile—
Mike and Heidi, already embarrassed enough, were speed-walking toward the forest, determined to escape to their spaceship.

They could hear Patrick and Grace's panicked shouts behind them.

"...We're not helping them, are we?" Heidi asked.

"Nope." Mike replied, not even looking back. "They brought this on themselves."

And with that, they hurried off, eager to leave before they became Ian's next victims.

After a few minutes...
As they prepared for takeoff, they stood by the ship's open hatch, facing Safari, Angeleva, Zack, Jen, Olive, Ian, Patrick, and Grace.

"Well, this has been... an experience," Heidi said, crossing her arms.

"One we'd rather not repeat," Mike muttered, glaring at Ian, who was still eyeing them like a hungry journalist.

Legend stood in the background, watching with his usual knowing look.

Then, Mike and Heidi turned to Patrick and Grace.

For a moment, none of them spoke.

After years of believing they were the only survivors of their planets, they had finally found someone else.

Patrick – the last Yumerian.
Grace – the last Mystran.

And now, in front of them, stood Mike, another Mystran, and Heidi, another Yumerian.

It was a strange feeling.

They weren't alone.

Patrick hesitated before finally saying, "...I never thought I'd meet another Yumerian after what happened. And especially the surprising part is you are also someone I know pretty well."

Heidi's confident smirk softened. "Yeah... same here."

She paused, then gave him a small fist bump.

Patrick bumped it back.

Then, Mike looked at Grace.

Grace simply said, "...Take care, Mike."

Mike nodded. "You too, Grace."

Then, in true Heidi fashion, she ruined the sentimental moment.

"Oh, and don't go kissing each other again!" she teased.

Patrick and Grace immediately turned red.

"THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!" they both yelled.

Mike and Heidi just laughed.

With that, they stepped into their spaceship, sealing the hatch.

The engines roared to life.

As they lifted off, Safari and the others watched them go, disappearing into the vast sky.

Patrick and Grace stood there, still processing everything.

At least now, they knew.

They weren't alone.
