The warehouse of the toy company Treasure Trove lay still, as the night guard passed by the many crates filled with a variety of toys, from trucks, to planes, even ordinary bouncy balls. His nights were often uneventful, but a job was a job. His patrol was disturbed when a crate from above started to creak. He looked up and found a big crate coming down on him, with a grunt he dodged it easily. He pointed his flashlight up where the crate was "who's up there"!
What appeared to be four kids, two girls, a small boy, and a big kid with a metal arm. The four of them had disappeared through the window above before he could do anything. He looked to his right and saw the many bouncy balls bouncing low on the ground. With a sigh he set the box upright and started to pick them up.
As he did though a flash of yellow light came from behind another row of crates, he moved towards it. As he closed in it dissipated, he prepared his baton as he rounded the corner "hello, you shouldn't be here".
"I don't care" was the last phrase he heard before he was knocked out by a fury fist. The creature stepped out of the shadows and grabbed the flashlight. The figure scanned it over the ground, looking for something. He then focused on one of the balls, only this one had numbers on it '257'. He picked it up, gave it a lick, and set it on the ground as it started to flash. He backed away as it grew until another creature appeared; this one appeared to look like an upright dog, colored with grey fur, a white underbelly, and dark green paw pads.
He gave a yawn and looked forward towards the first creature, his long tail moving around on its own "3-8-9, glad to see your face again. Do you know what's going on"?
"Just woke up, I'm seeing if anyone else is here, speaking of which" 3-8-9 tossed the flashlight to his friend "2-5-7, look around for any others, I'm going to check the box" he walked over to the crate, which while it was about chest high for an adult human, he was half the height of a normal person, so he had to climb a bit to get inside, which wasn't hard since he could climb walls as well as a spider can. He looked among the bouncy balls for other marked pods.
After a minute he found another one, and seemed especially pleased with his find. "3-8-9, I found another" 2-5-7 said, hanging on the edge of the box.
3-8-9 gave the pod he had in hand a kiss "so did I. but we shouldn't activate them here, were going to need a place we can hid" 3-8-9 revealed an extra set of arms "hand me the other pod please" 2-5-7 obliged and placed it in one of his secondary arms, 3-8-9 placed the pod he found in his other secondary hand and retracted both of them "did you see the number on that pod you found"?
"Yea, our good friend 1-6-4" 2-5-7 said sarcastically.
"He only licks you because he likes you" 3-8-9 spoke with a humored tone, as he proceeded to find the door.
"And by the way you treated the other pod, I'm guessing you found your boochiboo" his tone became taunting at the last word.
3-8-9 blushed at his taunt "I found 3-9-2 yes. It was pretty convenient that the four of us were in the same place alone, I thought Jumba would want us separate after the stunt we tried to pull under his nose".
"Well, I guess that's something to think about when we've settled, let's get going" 2-5-7 opened the door they found. He looked up at the sky, finding the many stars that lay up there "the stars look like they're in a different position, so were on a different planet, when my tail finds a signal I'll tap in and see which planet were on".
"Good, let's have a look around".
