A/N: I do not own South Park or any planets… I also do not own either of the writing prompts that I am using to write this story.
Prompt: Humans are the rarest and the deadliest species in the known universe. Often, search parties go missing due to a run in with a human ship. It has recently come to light that there is an entire planet full of them.
Prompt: It is illegal to contact the humans, as they wear an evolutionary scar from their time as prey. It is known as 'fear' and it makes them volatile and unpredictable.
Notes: One pass of the planet I have in here as a year. They live on a moon that revolves around Neptune called Neso. I have decided to call the species Sateils. Which is part satellite which is another name for moon and part glacier which is another word for freezing. So basically freezing moons, but the spelling is different to make it look a little better. In this, Tweek isn't freaking out over everything because I see his anxiety as part of how his parents raised him as well as his coffee addiction and the drugs from when he was a kid, so taking those factors out you should get a rather normal Tweek.
Chapter One
The indigo sky was perfectly clear dotted with glowing balls of gas above Tweek's home planet of Neso. The clarity was a good thing for when his trip would begin in just a few short passes of glowing orbs above them counting as hours. Today marked the sixteenth pass of the blue planet called Neptune since Tweek's birth which marks an occasion that all of the Sateil race must participate in. An occasion that Tweek was currently trying to ignore as he is poked and prodded to get cleaned up before the start of the ceremony before his trip where, afterward Tweek will be considered an elder and due to his families legacy, will mark him as a future ruler on his planet.
Becoming a ruler is something that Tweek has been learning to become since birth, due to him being a future ruler he has had to go through other ceremonies that only a select few others have gone through. During his time in life, only three others of the five thousand of his age group are of future ruler lineage and so the four of them are the only ones who have gone through all of the ceremonies while the others only have to participate in the one when they reach their sixteenth passage. The ceremony is simple, they arrive in front of everyone attending the ceremony on the planet and accept their scores from their schooling and hunting courses from their previous passes. If they have scores high enough, after their trip they will be allowed to choose starting from the highest scores and ending at the lowest what they wish to contribute as they are on the planet Neso.
Only Tweek and the three others are the ones without a choice which is what Tweek preferred considering he had only ever dreamed of being a ruler over the Sateils, anything else would be nothing but a disappointment to his birth givers who both currently rule. The ceremony ends with the Sateil the ceremony has been for after only a single pass of a glowing orb will receive their very own ship which they will be responsible for during the rest of the passes of Neptune during their life cycle. The Sateil is to take their ship and fly to their ancestor planet, Venus which is supposed to be as warm as they are cold. The ones who will not be rulers are to arrive, collect a scroll and fly back while those who are to rule one day have to collect their scroll and prove that they can live in such a warm planet by making contact with the life on Venus and staying with them for one full cycle of their yellow planet that is said to kill those that come to close.
Tweek exited the icy cave that he had been using to get ready for his ceremony and looked up in time to watch a female Sateil by the name of Bebe pick up a rock and lay her lips upon it. Everything has some sort of life force even if their substance changes, the life force is there. When a creature dies its life force doesn't always go out, usually it just changes to a different rhythm. Sateils have the ability to read that rhythm, in their own species it is read as thoughts while in others it could be images or feelings, using the inside of their lips which contain a saliva like consistency that can take a reading of the life force into themselves. Bebe is another Sateil of Tweeks age group that will become a ruler after her ceremony which will take place right after Tweeks. Incidentally, Bebe is also Tweeks betrothed which was decided when they shared the same day and time of the passage in front of Neptune. They will be required to heir at least one child before Neptune together and will also be required to share the same icy quarters for the first 30 passes of Neptune before being allowed to separate.
Bebe placed the rock back onto the ground a turned around to face Tweek. Her living golden antennas flowed out behind her all going in different directions as they writhed around her shoulders while her icy skin sparkled in the glow of the orbs in the sky, her purple eyes which usually glowed in a pretty excitement were dim and she looked serious and sad as she gazed upon him. Tweek knew something had to have happened for her to look so sad on the day of their ceremony which is a time of excitement and cheer.
"What is it Bebe?" Tweek asked as he walked over to her and reached for her hand. She took his outstretched fingers and looked into his glowing green eyes and answered him.
"There was another mission that met a human ship. Only Scott made it back, he says he was lucky to make it out alive. I don't know what they did to him, we aren't allowed to truly know until we get back but his speech is different now. He speaks with slurs and the moon treatments are not working to cure him." Her icy eyes looked like they were fogging up but she stayed strong as she stared at him.
The humans were a terrifying race that ran into their species from time to time. It would seem as if every time this happened, their race would lose some of its number while the humans would leave with all of theirs. The rulers of a million passes ago had made it illegal to try to contact the humans. They dictated that the humans were volatile and unpredictable due to the fact that they seem to be unable to get passed their own fearful nature which drives them to kill those of their own species and of others. While it is still a long off hope that we would be able to make contact with the humans in the hopes that they can be reasoned with, the rulers need to be in unanimous agreement to overrule the vote which makes contact illegal and so far none have been unanimous since the vote to make it illegal.
Tweek took a small breath and tried to hold it in for a moment. One of his birth givers had been on that mission which means that they have been killed and he would never see them again. It had been the female, the one that had nursed him from infancy and kept him by her side until the third pass of Neptune in which he was then given a place at the dormitory in which all Sateils were to live in until after their ceremony return trips in which they would have different living quarters due to their choices. He tried not to let it seem as if it bothered him, it wasn't like he had an actual bond with his female birth giver. It was actually rather illegal to form a bond with anyone other than your betrothed but he had always cared about all of their rulers and didn't appreciate the fact that humans had killed one, especially as that particular ruler was connected to him in such a way.
Bebe wished him well and their fingers linked for just a moment longer before Tweek walked alone to his ceremony where he was honored with his scores, unsurprisingly to himself and to the Sateils attending his ceremony they were the highest in his age group and the ship he was given as well as the coordinates of Venus were simple enough to figure out. He had learned to read coordinates before he could walk and had learned to fly a ship before he learned how to properly use his salivate glands to read life forces. He took to space and flew farther than he ever had to before all alone. His route would be different than those that would follow or who he himself was following. They were not allowed to depend on each other during this trip, they were to do it along and become elders and for Tweek and three others would become elders ready to rule.
Tweek flew to Venus and collected his scroll, he then set about the hike to find the civilization that were once where his species lived. They were strange looking with pale red skin rather than the icy pale blue of Tweek's species although still connected to nature like the Saleits using the same saliva glands to read natures rhythm, Tweek learned much from them while he waited for the one pass of the yellow planet nearby. He learned the name of the yellow planet was Sun and he was taught to navigate the entire planet by using the sun to pinpoint his exact location. He learned how to coordinate around the sun if he were to travel and he was taught how to regulate his body temperature to keep from overheating in such a warm climate. He caught sight of Bebe and the others but was not permitted to stay and talk, they were under orders to undertake everything alone and each of them took this rather seriously.
Finally the pass around the Sun was complete and Tweek got into his ship ready to make his trip home to Neso. He double checked for his scroll and he got his ship into the air, he was flying for such a short time when the asteroids became an almost immovable storm around him. Tweek didn't panic because he had been taught what to do in this type of situation as they were not uncommon, he was to find a stable surface to land on which he took a moment to find one and was just in the process of landing when an asteroid hit the front of his ship sending him sideways into another asteroid which caused him to tip dangerously and before he could steer his ship safely away a giant asteroid struck his ship and all of the lights suddenly flared up and Tweek could no longer get his ship to turn or do anything her commanded of it. He could only hold on as he was flying toward a blue planet with green around it and he gained speed. Tweek did not know what this planet was called and didn't get a good look around as his ship caught fire and he was holding on for dear life as he braced for impact the hard landing jarring him out of the damaged ship and he blacked out as he landed face first into a white substance that he was hardly able to call cold.
A/N: Ok so this chapter is pretty long compared to what the others will probably be. This chapter was to give information on the species I have tried to create. So please review and tell me what you think!
