As Ra'Kar looked at the human he slowly began to put his combi stick down showing her that he did not want to harm her, but he could tell all she had on her mind at that time was the death of her friends . . . which he 'caused. He could see it in her eyes that she was about to cry for what he had done to her friends. Ever he was sorry for not noticing sooner, but it was too late for him feeling that way now. Perhaps he could show how sorry he was through her. Ra'Kar placed his combi stick down and knelt down to the human and exstended his hand to her a little saying-
"Do not be afraid human . . . I wish not to harm you."
This startled Ash as she heard the creature before her speak her language like it was his own. Ra'Kar saw how startled she was and so knew what she was thinking. She didn't think he was capable of their language and so this made him smile just surprising her. He knew she was still afraid and so tried his best to show he meant her no harm now.
"Please," said Ra'Kar swaying his hand gently before her.
"Why don't you just kill me already you creature?!" cried Ash with a little annoyance/scaredness/anger in her voice.
Ra'Kar heard all three tones ever so clearly. He was now glad that his mother teaching him her language was not in vain and that he used it for nothing. He was glad for now he didn't have to hide the fact that he could speak human language. He smiled a bit at hearing the women act like this. She was strong and tough just wanting to die now with her comrades this . . . Ra'Kar admired.
"Because," said Ra'Kar. "I gave you my word I shall not harm you."
Ash just pushed all her force against the wall to stay as far she could away from the creature. How could she just him? . . . it? What could it do to make her so sure that it would not harm her. Her breathing was heaving and uneased. Ra'Kar wanted to stop that and so he placed his hand upon her heart that beated so fast and frightened and said-
"Sshh, Calm down . . . I will not harm you women."
"Why?" asked Ash in a gasp looking into his visors trying to see his eyes, but couldn't.
There then came squeals and squeaks of all-too-familiar creatures. Ash was the first to see them again and so she shot her head to the side and shut her eyes crying out in a gasp-
"Oh God not again!!"
Ra'Kar then darted around and saw the creatures lurking towards them getting closer and closer and so he knew he had his chance to prove he meant the human female no harm . . . and that was to protect . . . that is what he was going to do. Ra'Kar took out his father's nagita staff and opened it holding it before him signaling he was not going to let the serpents pass and get to the human. He gave one last warning with his roar but they still came and so he charged them. Ash watched as the human-like creature killed the other creatures before her . . . was he protecting her?
Ash jumped at the sounds of screeching and the sound of alien flesh opening into wide gashes. She never moved the spot where she was at. Ever she kept her eyes on Ra'Kar now clearly seeing he meant his word. He said he would not harm her, but he did not say he would protect her . . . she admired how, almost, human he was.
As she watched the creatures fall and Ra'Kar reign victorious she couldn't help but let out the slightest of smiles seeing he had beaten all his . . . their enemies. As Ra'Kar stabbed the last of the aliens he took his nagita staff and then turned to Ash and then came back to her and as he knelt back down in front of her she showed no signs of fear no more it was as if she was . . . numb to him.
"See I told you," smiled Ra'Kar in a kind voice to her.
Ash was about to catch her breath, but couldn't as she quickly pulled out her old shot gun she kept close to her side and shot out at another alien that came right behind Ra'Kar ready to run him through. Ra'Kar had not expected this and so he quickly turned as she fired her gun and so the remains of the alien she had just shot. Ra'Kar was dumb-founded as he turned back to the human female. As ash looked at his still body she could tell it was even a surprise to him.
Ash was breathing hard and her heart raced so fast from all the excitement. Ra'Kar saw her fear slowly dissappear as her anger and pride crept in for killing that monster, but is she still safe and more importantly . . . was she trying to hit him?
Ash looked at Ra'Kar and soon put her shot gun away and then attempted to stand. Ra'Kar backed away and let her help herself up since he knew she probably didn't trust him that much and knew she proabably never would. Ash stood up and regained her balance and caught her breath and then looked at Ra'Kar for a long moment stil trying to decide whether or not if she could trust the one thing who killed her squad.
Ra'Kar had to say something to help her make her mind and so he looked around and then back at her and said-
"Will you let me help you get out of here women?"
"Why should I let you?" asked Ash trying to control her heavy breathing.
"Because I am your only chance at getting out of here with your life," said Ra'Kar.
Ash thought about this for a long moment and then after a jump from the sound of a squealing alien she said-
"From those . . . things?"
"Yes," shook Ra'Kar.
Ash then inhaled a death breath and then exhaled it and then looked at her only hope for survival and so she shook her head replying 'yes' and at that Ra'Kar was glad for one way or another Ra'Kar would right his wrong by helping her get out of the pyramid not matter what way. Ra'Kar then turned saying-
"Follow me, but mind you this pyramid shifts every few minutes."
"I know," said Ash as she walked up behind him.
And so she followed Ra'Kar and Ra'Kar made sure she stayed as close as she could by him and so every now and then he would check over his shoulder to make sure she was still there. After a while of doing this Ash began to wonder why he did so and so asked him-
"Why do you keep doing that?"
"What?" asked Ra'Kar turning his head away from her knowing just hearing her voice he'd know she was there.
"Looking at me," said Ash. "What do you think I can't take care of myself or something?"
"Did I say that?" asked Ra'Kar.
"Uh . . . not, but you implied it by your movements!" said Ash snapping back showing she had no fear of him just some anger.
"Hm, you're just like my mother," chuckled Ra'Kar to himself.
"What was that?" asked Ash not knowing what he just said.
"Hhh, nothing," sighed Ra'Kar.
After a long while Ash decided to ask a couple more questions-
"Say . . . what is your name anyways . . . if you don't mind me asking."
Ra'Kar seemed to not want to tell her. Ash understood and so kept to herself, but soon he spoke saying-
"Ra'Kar."
Ash was a bit in shock as the creature told her his name and so he smiled a bit and said-
"My name's Ashley, but . . . most call me Ash."
After that Ra'Kar kept going on and tried to find his way out for himself . . . and her.
Scar made his way through some hall ways and stairs knowing Ra'Kar had went that way. He was going to tack his son all day if he had to and make sure to bring him back home even if it killed him. No one would get in his way on finding him and so he'd make sure of that. But there was one thing that he came upon that would get in his way.
"What on earth is that?!" gasped G-Man as he saw some kind of strange human-looking creature come out of the hall they had just exited.
"I don't know sir, buit it's not stoping!" gasped another man.
Scar saw the humans and saw how frightened they were by him and he knew they were probably going to attack. He didn't want to fight them. All he wanted to do was to find his son and not fight, but if they pushed he would push back. All had their weapons raised to him and all were scared at what he was for all saw he was something . . . else.
They all backed away as he made his way up the stares and into the next room. Scar was glad that they had decided not to fight him for it was the wise choice. If they chose to fight he would kill them all. They were no threat to him and so he tried to make them see that.
As he walked past them the biggest one suddenly shouted out a command to his comrades and shouted-
"Shoot it, shoot it!!"
All of the sudden they began to shoot lasers at him. He was resistant to heat and so he hardly felt it, but he was angered that they had decided to change their choice at the last second. That was one thing he hated about these creatures. They let their emotions control their mind.
Scar turned quickly to them and growled at them showing his weapons and preparing to fight the frightened humans. They all attacked in a blind frenzy not knowing what they were shooting and so Scar used this to his advantage. He knew they could see part of him and so he moved just slightly making them shoot their own men. He used the cold darkness to frighten them more and kill them easier.
As all but one was killed he looked at the biggest one and decided to find him hand combat. Scar could see only a small portion of this dark one's fear. Scar knew this one would be a challange.
"Uh-ah, don't think I'm afraid of you freak!" shook G-Man.
"We shall see," smiled Scar to himself as he roared and readied for the challaneg.
The ground began to shake and both knew the pyramid had began to shift once more.
"Hhh, great!" said Ra'Kar seeing the way he was going is now useless.
"Now what do we do?!" asked Ash throwing her arms up in the air.
"Find another way out," said Ra'Kar as he sped into another hall way.
Scar took the time to pull out his skull and spine for a keep sake trophy. It had been a while since he had a good challange like the one he had just killed. After that he decided to hang his kill up and so that is what he did.
Ra'Kar turned into a room heading down the stairs and froze immediatley seeing the one person he didn't think he would . . . his father. Ash saw Ra'Kar freeze and so looked past him to see another one like him stare at him and by his motions he didn't look too happy. Scar looked and saw his son standing just above the stairs seemingly surprised to see him there, well he should be.
Scar quit what he was doing and stood straight up looking at his rebel son. He was not happy and Ra'Kar could see that . . . what else did he think? Before Scar knew it Ra'Kar turned pushing Ash back the way they came and away from Scar.
"What are you doing?!" she said being pushed back by Ra'Kar into the other room they just came from.
"We can't got that way," he said as he pushed Ash back.
"But isn't he a friend?" asked Ash as she was shoved through a door.
Ra'Kar only gave out one response as the pyramid shifted again opening another door for them-
"No."
Scar couldn't believe his own son would run from him. No matter . . . he would find him and take him back home no matter what. Scar made his way up the stairs to find his rebel, disobeying, son.
