Hidden Blade

Jimmy Wu had always thought that space-ninjas were a bad joke made up by the captain and crew-- until their spaceship was invaded. With the crew locked away, it's up to Jimmy and his twin sister, Jenny, to fight the fierce, mask-wearing super pirates. Their only help comes in the form of a conflicted robot and the mysterious new mechanic, One-hand Dai. But should they trust him?

Jenny let go of his wrists. Jimmy tightened his slick hands around her wrists before she slipped. She jerked her head up to face Jimmy. "Let me go!" she mouthed. He shook his head; there was no way they could help Dai anyway. She glared, hissing, "Coward." Then she bit him. He yelped, releasing his sister. The space-ninja looked up. Jenny fell, aiming a kick towards his face. The space-ninja raised his blaster to shoot her. "Look out!" Jimmy shouted, even as he knew that it was impossible for Jenny to dodge the blast in such a narrow shaft.
