Scar growled. He just wanted to leave this damn planet with his mate by his side, and it seemed just about every little thing was keeping them from leaving. No matter what, there was always some new force that prevented their escape. He turned around, ready to start gutting whoever stopped them, but was met with a bright ass light, causing him to screech and quickly cover his eyes with his free hand, his other holding his brother on his shoulder. The light was blinding, and it was warm like a small fire, it didn't help that he could only see in infra-red, for the heat was messing with his vision severely. He couldn't see anything, even when he opened his eyes behind his hands, it bled through. It was like looking at the sun.
Lex shielded her eyes with her arm from the blinding light, squinting as she tried to look through the bright, warm ray. She could hear Scar struggle with it, but she couldn't see him. It made her worry, what if he was taken right out from under her nose, and she'd be too blind to know it?
"Is that what I think it is?"
"I think so..."
"I've never seen one up-close before... Put your guns down and away, he might attack us if he sees us with these things, you know how they feel about our weapons..."
The light shut off and Lex blinked a few times, trying to regain her sight and make the giant black blob in the middle of her eyes go away. A small group must have rolled up in a truck. It had been surprisingly silent, though...
Scar hissed, setting the body of his brother down before he began to rub his eyes, mandibles flaring as he did so. He must have been blinded, his eyesight going on the overload, it burned.
Lex tried to get a good look at the newcomers, seeing their outlines slowly morph into human faces. There was five of them from the looks of it. She jumped when one placed their hand on her shoulder, half of his face blocked out by the blur that was only beginning to dissipate. He looked young, with black hair and blue eyes.
"Sorry about that... We heard some commotion and decided to check it out." he muttered, seeming to cringe once he saw the dead, skinned body laying a couple of feet away from the woman.
"With god damn, bright-ass, search lights?" Lex hissed, rubbing her eyes once more.
"Err... Well, they come in handy in case there's something dangerous in the area and we need to either; scare it away or blind it long enough to help out... and, from the looks of it, there was something that may have attempted to kill us if we weren't careful..." he whispered, "That's a Yautja, isn't it?" he gestured towards Scar who was laying on the ground, kicking his feet like a child throwing a little fit, hands cupped over her eyes as he hissed and snarled, rolling around. It was rather comedic, and Lex tried to not laugh at him, it would probably hurt his feelings, "We've only seen two or three of those things before..."
"... So, you know his kind?" Lex questioned, raising an eyebrow at him before she pulled away from him. "... You're not... planning anything, are you?" she was weary, everyone she met had been after Scar and his armaments, she wondered if they were as well.
"No! Most certainly not." he shook his head, waving his hands defensively, "We're people who want to help them ever since we met with one some time ago who taught us about his kind and their language. We aren't like the damn government who just want to trick them and take their stuff, trust me."
That was the best news Lex had heard all day, "...I'm... Lex... Who are you guys?"
"I'm Anthony. And, this is my family. There's my older brother Rex, younger bro Caleb, my mom Belle, my younger sister Moa, and me." he pointed them all out, smiling warmly. Rex was tall, thin, but muscular, Caleb was shorter, a little chubby looking too. Belle and Moa both looked almost identical, both tall, but their hair colour was different, Moa had black hair while her mother had sleek blonde-grey hair, "It's nice to meet you, L-" Anthony was cut off, his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide once he saw the towering figure approach.
Scar seemed to have regained his vision, for he had quickly ran to Lex's side, the blades in his wrist gauntlets extended out. He roared at Anthony, looking ready to rip into him. Anthony quickly backed away, only causing Scar to step forward.
"M-di! we're on your side!" Rex shouted from the truck, quickly running over to stand in-front of his younger brother. Scar stared at him, head slowly cocking to the side. He snarled, allowing the blades to slowly retract.
"...You speak Yautja?" Scar spoke, staring at the two.
"Sei-i." Anthony nodded, "...You can't attack us, we're unarmed. It's against your Code of Honor, isn't it?" he quickly spoke up. Scar seemed utterly surprised at the fact these Oomans were speaking in his tongue, another clan had to of taught them it, or it was one of his clan-mates that had been here way before him and they had taught them. Scar backed away, his mandibles twitching.
"What do you Oomans want? You are ceasing us from leaving to return back to my home planet so that me and my mate here can live and hunt together in peace."
"Err... That's the thing." Rex muttered. Lex rolled her eyes, not liking the fact that she couldn't understand a word they were saying. She was the only one there who didn't know his language, and it bugged her. That was it, as soon as they were off this rock of a planet, Scar was teaching her Yautja. No questions asked. She hated not being able to understand him, nor what anyone was saying.
"... What? Spit it out, Ooman... Code or not, I will gut you for failing to comply with answering me." Scar crossed his arms over his chest, holding his head up high as he stared down at them.
"... See, it's about your spaceship." Anthony spoke, giving a nervous smile.
"... What about it?" Scar narrowed his eyes at the two.
"Well, the F.B.I found it, we're not sure how. We saw them building something a few hours ago when we were returning home which is just a little ways from here... they put up a barrier around it, so... it's nearly impossible for you to get to it without help." Rex sighed.
