What's up everyone Fan here, so sorry about the delay. I was going to post yesterday but all the computers at the library where taken over by a bunch of fucking five year olds play minecraft or some shit like that.
So I felt bad for every one who's been patiently waiting for Ep. 2 to come out, I promise to have the first two chapters out sometime in January. So to somewhat appease you I wrote four one shots, two from Josh's point of view and Two from Krystal's. it talks a little bit about what happens after the Human Gorton War ended.
I was going to post all four, but guess what. I wrote them all on my phone, plugged it up to the computer I'm at right now and the fucking usb charger wont work. So I had to retype this ch. on the computer. So I'm sorry about that. If I can make it Thursday I'll post the last three.
Enjoy and PLEASE review so I know what you guys think, not getting reviews kills me on the inside and makes me feel like I'm writing shit no one wants to read.
The night sky, the darkness of space. Cold and unforgiving, is that where my destiny lies? Am I truly to leave the only home I've ever known? Am I destined for this life? The thought is a bit scary when you have a moment to sit down and think about it. Outside at night, on a hill resting by a tree. My gaze is at the night sky and the hundreds of thousands of stars cover the sky like freckles. Beautiful shiny freckles that one day I will journey to.
I will travel across the galaxy and see many things humans have yet to discover, things we might not even be ready to discover. It's cool when you think about it; I wonder just what is out there. How many new species are there? How many look humanoid? How many look like monsters? A dull ache in my right hand flares at the memory of the monster I have seen.
Huge muscular giants with rough leathery red skin. The tallest and dangerous of them all, a King. Spawning ebony black armor that no weapon can penetrate, fiery eyes that glow bright. Leaping close to twenty feet in the air and heading straight towards me. Bringing a large sword down, slicing through a gun I used as a shield and cutting through my shoulder. Another dull ache flares at said spot, with nothing more than a knife for protection, unable to stop the massive red hand that engulfs my own and nearly crushing it to dust. A sickening smile creeps on its face as my agonizing filled screams fill his ears. I blink and it's gone. A month later and that smile still freak me out.
How many more are like the Gortons? How many more pillage and murder because they enjoy it? They are like us in a way aren't they? We both are savages in our own right; maybe in that small way we are equal.
A chilling breeze blows by; I zip up my jacket and hold my arms over my chest to keep them warm. I could go inside the base where it's warm, where everyone is at. But I want to be out here by myself, to just sit and think on what happens next. It has been a long month, with our freshly new alliance with the Lylat system most of my time as the newly appointed ambassador of Earth has been spent with talks and political nonsense.
I'm not an ambassador, I'm a warrior who was trained to fight and kill, not lead and represent. At least Ryan is here to help me out, until I leave that is. Once I leave Earth it will be Ryan who takes over as Ambassador, that's something I won't hesitate to pass over. Within a week or so after I leave he will travel to Corneria to perform his duties. I enjoy Ryan's company; he has become a good friend and seems to enjoy my company as well. But there is something off, he greets me with a smile yet his eyes show sadness. Many times he looks like he wants to tell me something but holds it in. I'm not sure what it is but I know he'll tell me when he wants to
As I sit here I can't help but think of Krystal, the alien that I have fallen in love with. Suddenly as if she had read my mind she approaches from the base. I can see her making her way up the hill to me, her blue fur gently moving with the wind. When she stands next to me she looks me in the eyes and smiles. Her beautiful cyan eyes always make me feel like jelly. She asks if I want some company. If I said no she would nod and head back to the base and I would be alone like I wanted. However now that she's here and I can see her and smell her scent, there's nothing I want more that for her to stay. I told her sure and she smiled softly before sitting down next to me. She leans against me and it isn't long before I can feel her warmth seep in through my jacket. The cold air doesn't seem to affect her, her silky smooth blue fur keeps her warm. She is the only hairy woman I have ever found appealing. She wraps both of her arms around one of mine as she leans her head on my shoulder, the dull ache flares but I keep it to myself. She looks comfortable and if the price for her comfort is a bit of discomfort on me, than so be it. She's worth it.
A couple of minutes pass and the two of us are watching the sky together as the couple we are. I gently lean my head against hers and she moves even closer against me. Her hair smells like honey and strawberries and it is intoxicating. Suddenly she moves her head away from me and we stare into each other's eyes. Her eyes are so beautiful; they are the perfect mix of blue and green. She says she likes the color of mine; however my plain brown has nothing against hers.
Suddenly before I can react she already has our lips pressed together. Now I'll admit that since she does have a fox shaped muzzle our kisses are a bit on the awkward side. Her lips aren't as soft as human lips; however it's her lips that I'm kissing, so that's all that matters to me. I would enjoy her lips against min even if they were made out of metal. Even though that would be weird. After a few moments of kissing, she moves back to her original position by my side with her arms around my arm. We continue to watch the stares together in silence.
The night sky, the darkness of space. Cold and unforgiving, is that where my destiny lies? Am I truly to leave the only home I've ever known? Am I destined for this life? Maybe, maybe not. All I know is if Krystal's there, than so will I. she is my destiny now, she is my home. We will deal with all the struggles we face in the future together. Our lives will be in danger, we will protect, we will fight, and we may be killed. I turn to look at her again.
Something bad may happen to one of us in the near or distant future, that is the price we must pay to be together, that is the price we must pay to be Space Mercenaries.
