The moment he landed, Lancelot found himself in a long passage, with the airtight door directly ahead slowly closing.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lancelot, who had trained hundreds of times in Space Fortress terrain, kicked off hard!
The high-powered torque motors in his legs and the zero-gravity environment sent him shooting like a cannonball, whipping up a gust as he zipped through the narrowing doorway.
Boom! The gate behind him sealed its final gap almost against the tips of Lancelot's feet.
Lancelot adjusted his posture in midair. His assisted balance system automatically corrected his movements, and the robot he controlled landed in a decidedly stylish sliding tackle.
With a screech of metal and a trail of sparks, Lancelot slowly came to a stop.
He looked up... and saw two stunned faces not far ahead.
"Good evening, gentlemen pirates!"
Lancelot charged forward, flicking his arm as he ran. With a metallic snap, a telescopic baton sprang from his palm.
"Open fire!" The two pirates from the Gold Coin Pirate Gang cried out and raised their guns, sending several energy beams streaking toward him.
Lancelot ducked low, almost hugging the floor as he dodged the shots. Then he jumped onto the side wall and used the narrow passage to execute a triangular wall jump, diving down from the ceiling!
Thud! Thud! After two dull impacts, both pirates lay on the floor.
Small fry with nothing but basic light equipment did not even deserve to make Lancelot waste energy.
Stepping over the two pirates, Lancelot approached a terminal-like display on the passage wall. Red light flashed in his eyes as he began searching for nearby wireless signals.
