I woke up in what looked like a cave, from what I could gather.
I tried to remember what happened. Then, like small flashes, My recollection of the past events came bit by bit.
Spike...
The sky whale...
And, of course, the crash...
Then the largest flash of all came. One I wasn't familiar with. It was my danger sense. You see, Lizardians had the ability to sense imminent danger from a mile away. This was a strange feeling for me because coming across actual danger was a rarity. I didn't even have this feeling around Spanks.
That meant someone way stronger than me was nearby.
And they had an intense intent to kill.
I looked around and saw a bulky, black human male sitting on a stool before her.
He was shirtless, so his multiple tattoos with the word "DON" were clear as day. He wore a pair of green ripped jeans and black socks with green sandals.
Who was this guy?
And where was I?
"Ah! You're awake! You hear that, everyone?! She's awake! Now you all won't have to die!" The man shouted with a deep, authoritative voice.
That's when I noticed the large crowd of people around her.
All of them women and children. They were all bald, dark-skinned, and only wearing cloth tribal attire with several green tattoos all over their bodies. Their skin seemed to have a wierdly smooth texture from what I could gather. Coupled with their strangely shaped eyes, they were probably aliens like me.
"Where am I? W...who are you?! What's going on?" I asked, confused. I tried to get off the bed but immediately noticed I was chained to it.
And I couldn't escape. This was very shocking because that meant these chains could hold someone who can destroy entire castles with one punch.
"Yes, yes. I can sense your confusion, and it's understandable. You see, to put it simply, you crashed. Right into this planet's surface. Or is it a moon? It is orbiting around Podgea, so I guess so. Anyway, once you crashed, I discovered you and your canine friend in the wreckage, and I knew that a Lizardian would come in handy. The dog, on the other hand, was a problem."
I instantly knew what "dog" he was talking about, and an intense rage built up within me that I could barely control.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO SPIKE?!" I shouted in a blind fury.
"Hey now. No shouting. You're not the one in control here, you cold-blooded alien scum. Your dog is dead. Get that through your tiny little lizard brain. I threw the mutt into a little hole which led to the core of this moon. Hes as good as dead."
"Spike...no...we didn't even start our adventure yet..." I muttered to myself as tears began to drip down my green cheeks. But they were wiped away by this man. He then gave me a mocking grin.
I looked at the man and got a sudden chill in her spine. I didn't know why, but despite my anger my whole body told me only one thing.
RUN.
"And I can see you're trying to escape. Don't bother. That chain is made of Hard Candy. One of the hardest materials in the whole East Galaxy. The Capitolian Empire would pay a fortune for it. But I digress. My name is Patrick McPatPat, but you can call me Pat, and right now, you have to make a choice."
"A choice?"
"I'm sure you've noticed the crowd of alien bitches and brats all around us. Let me cut to the chase. My gang invaded this Coconut forest moon, and my boss gave me the mission of tracking down it's alien inhabitants and killing them all. That meant slaughtering all these Clay people. I was gonna do that, but you happened to come along, and an amazing idea crossed my mind."
"What do you want?"
"You make a choice. You join the DonDon gang, or I kill everyone here. I heard how peaceful Lizardians were, especially to other aliens. So what do you say? This shouldn't be hard for you right?"
I immediately tried to break free, but it was no use.
I had to choose.
However, I made my choice before he even finished his sentence.
"I'm already in a gang. How about I break out of here and beat you up so bad you won't even find a straw that could feed you?" Maria said with a low tone which did well to show her anger.
"Hehe... you're a funny girl. I'll give you that. Your boss is long dead, but you're still claiming to be in his gang. That's some solid loyalty right there. It's a good trait to have, but not right now."
Pat then got up and started walking away.
"Where are you going?" I asked, slowly realizing what he was going to do.
"You made your choice, didn't you? And it's time for you to suffer the consequences," he said as he approached the women and children who were all cowering in fear.
Except for two of them...
"And what's with you? Can't you see you're gonna die, bitch?" Pat said with a smirk to an expressionless woman holding her child tightly. This boy was small for his age, had green tribal tattoos all over his body, and despite his best efforts to hide it, he was terrified.
"You come to our village. Attack our people. Kill us for no reason, and you want me, the queen of these people, to give you the satisfaction of showing fear? Ha! You make me laugh. I shall die with a smile on my face, knowing I denied you that glory of seeing me weep!" The woman said and spat on Pat's face soon after.
Pat laughed.
"Hmmm, I gotta say! Of all the backwards-ass aliens I've seen here, you're the funniest. Even funnier than that refugee girl you accepted. That's why you're gonna get the pleasure of watching your people die. Starting with that shitty brat of yours. By the way, he is a terrible actor!" Pat said. The women began to scream in terror as Pat grabbed the lady's son and raised his hand to strike and despite her best efforts to hide it, this woman was terrified much more than the rest of her citizens.
I tried my hardest to break out, but to no avail. Thanks to my hubris, these innocent people were gonna die. It was Spanks and Number 2 all over again.
It was my father all over again.
No.
I wasn't gonna let this happen again.
Not now, not ever.
If Im gonna be a part of Spike's gang, I needed to be strong like him. He was the type to make rash decisions and had the power to back them up.
I needed to be like that too.
With the last of my might, I bit hard into the chains with my canines and although initially nothing happened, a few seconds later, the chains began to break, and...
"CRACK!"
In less than 10 seconds, I broke free of my bonds and headed straight for Pat with all her might.
Only for Pat to block it with ease.
Then his hand began to glow, and a smirk appeared on his face.
"1500, that's a pretty small Threat Level. Even our weakest goon has a Threat Level of 2000. You're not beating me, kid."
Slowly, he placed his index finger on my shocked forehead and tapped me gently, sending me flying at lightning speed out of the cave I quickly realized we were in.
I had less than a fraction of a second to react, or all those people were gonna die.
I sent my tongue flying at incredible speed and, luckily, thanks to it's sticky nature, not only got Pat, but pulled him away just as I flew out of the cave.
"You're persistent. I'll give you that. Fine, let's see what your little Threat Level can do."
Now in the air, the true battle began...
I watched the women in the cave look in hopes that this strange green girl would save them. However, I saw one woman notice something and thanks to my incredible hearing, I managed to hear a little of what she said.
"W...where is Octavia?"
Upon hearing this, the women looked around and realized that one of, what I assume, their younger girls had vanished.
The queen looked alarmed most of all.
Was she her daughter or just some random citizen?
Whoever she was, I needed to focus..
The end...FOR NOW!
