Chapter 1- Aliens
Your name is Karkat Vantas and you are worried sick about your friends. As their leader who failed miserably, you're pretty fucking sure they hate you right now. You failed to protect them and you failed to save your planet and you failed to do something while you were escaping. You turn your head to them while they individually got out of the broken aircraft, save that for Sollux Captor who clings exhausted at you.
"Okay, is everybody fucking all right? Is anybody hurt? Are there injuries?" You ask them, your eyes scanning at the crowd. They all looked at you with a bit of irritation at their faces, except for Feferi who looked at you with a worry.
"We're fine, Karkat. But we need to hide the spaceship and we need to look for a hiding spot, for the moment. We don't even know what's in this planet!" Feferi said.
You nodded in agreement and turned to Equius. "Is there some sort of invisibility switch in your spaceship? Because I seriously think that hiding a vehicle this huge by burying it in god-knows-what won't do."
"It doesn't but…I can make one." He replied, wiping his sweat off his forehead.
"Then I'll leave that task to you." You turned to Feferi before he could complain about a lowblood ordering him about. "Aradia, can you hold Sollux for a bit?" She nodded and gently slung Sollux's arm over her shoulder and she walked away to a random tree nearby.
"Okay, we need to split up to teams so we could find a place to stay-" You were about to continue until you saw something white from behind the trees. Oh god, is that one of those harsh beasts that won't hesitate to gobble you up for dinner? You crouched low and whispered to your fellow trolls. "Nobody move. We have fucking company and we don't know what's it capable of." You earned a snicker from both Terezi and Vriska.
"Oh please, Karkat. We do know how to fight." Vriska said, turning her back toward the white creature.
It has a lot of fur. It looks like this earth's version of a barkbeast. As the group got their weapons out, the barkbeast growled and barked at them. They were about to attack to silence the thing, but was even more stunned when they heard a voice.
"Stop right there!" said the voice that seemed to belong to a female. She appeared right behind the barkbeast holding a rifle directed towards them. "Nobody move or I'll shoot!"
To be perfectly honest, nobody understood a word she just said.
Everbody growled at her, followed by a series of clicks that serves as a warning signal but she holds her ground, not even showing any signs of fear.
"Everybody just put your weapons down. She might not hurt us if we try to negotiate with her." You told your group, clearly a language that is not familiar with the female specimen that continues to glare at you. Vriska sneered at you but stayed down, which was very much unlike her. Everybody followed suit.
"Okay, that's better, I guess." The girl said, lowering her rifle. She stepped forward, and grabbing something from her bag. She grabbed something and switched it on and directed it towards them.
It was a flashlight.
All of them looked away when their eyes got hit by the light, but Kanaya did not. She blinked to adjust her eyes and tried to approach the girl in a friendly manner. However, the girl stopped at her tracks and just gaped at them.
"Oh my god. ALIENS!"
