Chapter 2: Encounters and Explanations
The main part of the ship was already destroyed as soon as it landed, however the location of the crash site is unknown. The escape pods were all separated from each other. Here, we see a pod crashed near a territory that's pretty much off limits... DarkLands... Inside of it were two of the Wolfians: Captain Aurin, a white with a slight yellow secondary fur color and Corporal Lux, a blue with an aqua secondary fur color. They were both unconscious inside the pod due to the impact. Not too far away was Ludwig von Koopa and Bowser Koopa Jr, investigating the giant crash they heard earlier. They walked ahead a bit more and saw the giant pod with a crushed door that didn't look like it was going to open soon.
"Junior, help me open this door."
"Are you sure we're supposed to open it? Maybe whoever's in it could be bad."
"I doubt anything could've survived something like this... Now come on, help me." Junior walked towards the door with Ludwig and they both started to pull the door out, and after a while, it opened with the door breaking off. They both looked inside and saw the two Wolfians unconscious inside the pod. Junior thought of them as rather cute.
"Are those puppies?"
"Last I checked, puppies don't wear combat gloves and soldier head wear that looks surprisingly like a beanie..." He looked carefully at them and saw badges with a symbol of a silhouetted Wolfian head and one of them saying 'Captain' and the other 'Corporal'. He could also see that they're still breathing...
"Junior, they're still alive. We should bring them back to the castle and help them out. You carry the white one, I'll carry the blue one." Junior just nodded and leaned forward and picked up the white Wolfian, but was struggling a bit since it was nearly Junior's height. Ludwig leaned and grabbed the blue one as if he was a child, and also picked up an item that was next to him, thinking it belonged to the blue one. The two brothers started to walk while carrying the two unconscious Wolfians to their home castle, a dark-colored fortress with an ominous aura that no sane person would go into... Unless you're a resident. Ludwig and Junior entered through the main entrance unnoticed by anyone and took them to a medical room in the underground part of the castle. Kamek was in there making more potions for chemistry collection until he saw the two of them walk in with the Wolfians in their arms.
"What is it? Donating bodies for scientific research?"
"WHAT? NO! Kamek, we just need you to make these two better. We found them at a crash site not too far from here." Kamek looked slightly disappointed but smiled at the chance of using his potions.
"All right, just put them on the resting table and I'll get a couple of potions ready." They both walked towards the table and set them down calmly, avoiding any rough handling. Kamek looked through his potion collection but was stopped by a realization.
"Huh. This is weird."
"What? Missing ingredients?"
"No, it's not that. You see, I make potions for every species on Earth, but I can't seem to tell what species these two are."
"Uncle Kamek, can't you just use potions for puppies?"
"Canine potions might work, but these... things... aren't a normal canine species."
"Just try it. Anything so we can see these things to get better..." Kamek grabbed a potion fit for a domestic dog and turned to the two unconscious Wolfians.
"All right, but if something goes wrong, I'm blaming you two." He poured the liquid into both of the Wolfians' mouths and waited for a few seconds, then the two started to blink their eyes open and immediately stood up. They both looked ready to attack.
"Agh! Foolish Koopas! You've just practically GIVEN us your planet! Now face the wrath of me, Captain Aurin, and Corporal Lux and the rest of the powerful team of the Wolf Platoon!" He looked around and saw it was only Lux and him against two mischief makers and a powerful mage. Lux turned to him with a worried look.
"Uh... My Captain... Perhaps it's best we surrender..."
"Yeah, you're right, we're screwed..." He felt his whole body rejuvenated from the potion, but wasn't sure about what happened, as well as Lux.
"Hm... Just a random guess here, but did the two of you help us get better?" Kamek pushed the two children aside to get the Wolfians' attention.
"Ahem, I believe it was me who helped you two get better..." The kids then pushed Kamek aside to get the Wolfians' attention.
"And WE believe it was US who brought you here from that crushed wreck we saw outside... Me and Junior had to break the door off to get you out." Lux jumped off the table and bowed in courtesy to Ludwig and Junior.
"Well, thank you... I guess." He was about to leave the room until he realized he was missing something...
"My sword... Where is it...?" Ludwig grabbed the sword casing inscribed with a water drop symbol and handed it off to Lux.
"Like I said, thank you. Captain, we should be leaving soon. The others are probably lost somewhere." Junior grabbed Lux by the shoulder, surprising him a bit.
"Do you have to leave so soon...? I mean, you guys can stay here for the night if you want."
"I don't want to be a bother. Now, just let me go." Aurin jumped off the table and walked towards Lux with a smile.
"Oh c'mon, Lux. They're offering us some hospitality. Besides, we can probably make this our base..." Ludwig suddenly grabbed Aurin by the shoulder, immediately grabbing his attention.
"Hold on. Who said you have permission to setup a base here...? Are you two part of a military force or something?" Both of the soldiers started to get nervous, but Lux came forward and started explaining.
"Okay. Yes, we are a military force. But not just any military force. We're the Wolf Platoon, a task force specializing in planet conquering, from a distant planet called Wolfaria. You see, we were sent here in response to the one called Mario's visit to our planet. Our King thought of it as an act of hostility, so he assigned us to conquer Earth. And then..."
"Wait. Our King sent us here just cause he assumed that Mario guy was hostile? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm the stealth and intel part of our Platoon. Emphasis on intel."
"No one likes a smart ass, Lux."
"Ludwig, what's an a-" Ludwig simply just covered Junior's mouth before he finished the word.
"Nothing you should say in a while. Lux, just continue."
"Hmph, thank you. Anyways, as we were heading towards your planet, something disabled our engine and we all used escape pods to avoid an explosive impact. I'm assuming we were all separated as the pods traveled in different directions. So here we are now, separated from the rest of our Platoon."
"That's quite the explanation. I'm only assuming that Mario only visited your planet because of his whole galaxy adventure."
"Wait, adventure? Are you kidding me? The galaxy's all about the planet conquering! The only reason why Earth hasn't been conquered yet is because Earth is outside of the Warzone Sector..."
"Okay... Thanks for complimenting our planet, Aurin... I guess. Anyways, you two are more than welcome to stay the night and eat, but the whole base thing... I'm not so sure." Aurin simply smiled at Lux who was staring at all the potions.
"I'll take that as a yes!"
"Wait, what."
2nd chapter done. Again, first story ever, so it may not be great to everyone, but tell me what you think of it! For those who are interested in the story, I update the story pretty much per day.
