Hello readers. I am a new user and this is my very first story. I really hope you guys enjoy my story and if you notice any flaws, please help me with some constructive critique. So please enjoy
Chapter 1: The beginning
"So there I was, up against the leader of the shadow drones himself Regal Fang," said an orange ottsel whose hazel eyes were lit with the excitement that could be compared to that of a little boy, "we were at the Blackwater dam on Rilgar, aiming blasters right at each other's faces," the ottsel said with a proud smirk, "what happened next?" asked a robot from the crowd. The ottsel's smirk turned into a grin.
*flashback*
"Prepare to die ottsel," said a large Reaper preparing to shoot the ottsel in the face.
"Take your best shot Regal but I must warn you," said the ottsel, "you'll regret it."
With a glare, Regal let out 2 blasts from his blaster. Which then hit the ottsel right in his chest. Regal then approached the ottsel with an evil smirk, "well Rage, look who's regretting now," said Regal.
Rage began to cough up a few words, "psych," he said with a grin while flipping Regal off and then vanishing.
"What just happened?" asked Regal in a state of confusion. Suddenly he felt the cold surface of a blaster pressed against his back.
"you're regretting," said Rage with a smirk as his orange fur moved with the wind, "didn't you think that going after one of the greatest mechanics in the Shadow Sector would be easy, did you?" asked Rage with his endless smirk.
"you used a hologram, why didn't I notice?" Regal yelled in embarrassment.
Rage's smirk turned into a glare, "get out of here Regal," he said with nothing but anger in his tone.
"What?" asked Regal in more confusion.
"I said go before you join the rest of your gang," growled Rage. And with that, Regal darted away at his top speed. Rage then calmed down and sat on the edge of the dam.
*end of flashback*
The entire bar clapped furiously as Rage finished narrating, "you are tough for your size," said a large two eyed Tyrrannoid.
"Yeah, we could use a guy like you in our gang," said a Land Shark.
Rage gave out a small chuckle, "thanks guys but unfortunately I can't," he said which earned him a pout from the two.
"Alright but if you have any second thoughts, holler at me," said the Tyrrannoid as he left with his friend following right behind him.
Rage then downed his bottle of beer and sighed. The bar was full of different creatures, some from far and others near. Rage then got out of his seat and began to walk towards the exit, "hey Rage," said a Blarg from the corner of the room.
"can I help you?" he asked with a slight town of annoyance in his voice while fastening the belt to his navy blue sweat pants.
"you say your tough right?" asked the Blarg. Rage continued to glare, "if you really are the big shot you claim to be then you won't have a problem getting that guy to leave," said the Blarg with a grin.
Rage rolled his eyes and began to reach for the door, "you're chicken, you aren't even the guy everyone thinks you are," he said, "you're just trying to make yourself feel good about yourself even though you're a total loser," he said again.
Rage kicked him in the shin hard forcing the Blarg to fall over, "never say that again," Rage said in a calmer tone, "now, which guy were you talking about?" he asked while looking around. The Blarg pointed at a Lombax who was talking to the bar tender, "why should I make him leave anyway?" he asked.
"He thinks he can just take my girl away from me because he is good looking," said the Blarg who was now standing again, "if you get him to leave, I will pay you handsomely," said the Blarg now holding a huge wad of cash.
"Where there is money, there is Rage," he said whilst making his way to the Lombax.
Loyde's POV
"Wow this planet isn't as bad as I thought it would be," I said whilst taking a sip of my beer.
"It is great here," said the bar tender, "though there is a lot of crime here, the skies are beautiful especially at night," she said with a smile.
"but I bet they aren't as beautiful as your eyes," I said seductively with my deepish voice whilst staring into the bar tender's eyes expecting to allure her with my emerald eyes. She blushed a bright shade of red and gave me a kiss on the cheek whilst stroking the auburn colored stripes on my ear. I let out a purr that makes her bush even harder.
"Hey," said an ottsel that was sitting next to me.
"Hi," I reply not really paying attention.
"Whoa tough guy, you got to pay attention if you don't want to get yourself in trouble," said the ottsel whilst tapping me on the chest of my black and red muscle shirt.
"What the heck are you talking about rat?" I asked as I slapped his gloved hand away.
"If you don't get out of here I'm going to mess you up bad," he said whilst standing on the stool to make himself at level height with me.
"Listen rat, I'm twice your size and I'm not in the mood for beating people up," I said whilst turning to face the bar tender.
"We'll see about that," he said and then punched me on the nose drawing some blood staining my orange fur as a result. He looks at me smugly whilst crossing his arms.
"You're going to regret that you little rat," I said and then flung him across the room. Everyone in the bar goes silent and begin to watch me approach the ottsel.
I approach him and look him dead in the eyes. He then smiles at me and in a flash I feel pain where the sun don't shine, "grah!" I shout whilst nursing my injury.
The ottsel then jumps onto my back and starts punching me mercilessly. I then grab the little rat by the collar of his sleeveless shirt and punch him so hard he hits the wall. I walk up to him and pull him up to face level, "any last words rat?" I ask him.
He looks at me with fear and regret in his eyes, "please let me go, I won't bother you anymore," he said in the lowest tone I think he could use.
"Too late rat," I said as I thrust my fist forward knocking him out instantly. The bar looks at me silently and then suddenly began to cheer loudly. I then take my seat again and resume my conversation with the bar tender.
Suddenly the doors burst open and tear gas began to fill the room, "peace keepers!" yells a robot from across the room.
Blasters were shooting in all directions I covered my face and snuck towards the door and then I finally escaped. I then ran past some peace keeper ships and made it into an alley. I pull out my communicator, "Perihelion, come pick me up immediately you receive these coordinates," I say as I press the button and in a few minutes my red ship appears besides me. I jump into my ship and fly towards the outskirts of the current city I was in.
Rage's POV
I wake up only to find myself surrounded by nothing but mist. My head gear then beeps and puts a gas mask over my face, "this must be tear gas," I say as I look around to see nothing but commotion in the bar. I notice a particular logo and hop to my feet, "how did the peace keepers get here?" I say as I escape through the back room. I grab my hover board and fly to my apartment.
I enter the building and flop myself onto the couch. I stand up whilst feeling a wave of pain flow through my body. I make it towards my mirror and look myself head to toe, "I look like a mess," I said as I head into the shower.
Later that night
Ring! I groan as I wake up and check my communicator, "hello," I said whilst yawning.
"hello Rage," said a voice on the other end.
"who is this and how do you know me?" I ask quite alarmed.
"come by the black warehouse on BWC Street tomorrow," said the voice again.
"hey who are you?" I asked with more demanding.
"that is not important right now just come, I have something you need," replied the voice.
"what happens if I don't?" I asked.
"You'll regret it," said the voice while hanging up. I look out the window.
"I don't want to regret anything anymore."
