Arsenal

Chapter 26-Tyson

The World of Fairies

I had looked up some stuff about Nevana, they say it's a beautiful planet. Full of large incredible trees and peaceful animals, the aliens that live there "Nemuina" (Pesky Dust's species) are said to have lived in peace with nature there.

It sounds like one hell of a vacation spot. But we got there, it was more of a war zone. You'll find out about that soon enough.

"Approaching Planet now." Said Lana operating a monitor.

"Tyson I swear this is a waste of your time, we're going to some planet just because you had a stupid dream." Said Kayla.

"Several dreams! And besides it sounded serious." I replied as I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever…" she said as we heard a loud voice on the communicator.

"Attention spacecraft, Planet Nevana is currently under occupation of Lord Vilgax. Turn back now or you will be shot down!" said a robotic voice.

I looked towards Lana and Kayla, I think it's safe to assume the three of us had a silent agreement. If Vilgax was on this planet he could be after a map piece, naturally we couldn't let him get it. So we sped off towards Nevana, moving close towards the Atmosphere.

We really put too much faith in our shields, since a large number of atomic blasts quickly shattered through them and hit the hull. Our attackers were none other than Vilgax's robotic minions, piloting his large spaceships.

I quickly opened the door, ready to turn into Gravattack and protect the ship. But another blast sent me flying. I quickly held my breath and did my best to transform before I perished in the cold of outer space.

I was going for Gravattack, but I got Upchuck instead. "Oh you gotta be kidding?!" I said, realizing that I wasn't suffocating.

Since Upchuck could survive in space, I guess I could'nt complain. I began to fall further and further from the Aldrin. I quickly realized I was entering Nevana's orbit. I felt my body burn somewhat, but I survived to tell the tale.

I had landed on the planet rather hard, since there was a 10 foot crater around me. I slowly crawled out, seeing I had crashed right outside a large and dense forest. It was lush and serene, but very quiet. I walked as fast my short stubby legs would allow.

My ears were suddenly pounded with the sounds of lasers and loud screams. Two Nemuina flew right over me "Run! Drones are coming!" said one of them as a large group of robot drones charged in.

They were mostly black and had gorilla shaped bodies. They held large gatling guns, they were clearly trying to shoot down the Nemuina and level the forest.

I quickly opened my mouth and commanded my four tongues to shoot out, they quickly wrapped around one of the drones and allowed me to eat it. I easily chewed through it's metal body and spat out a large blast of explosive goo.

The following explosion easily destroyed several of the drones. I smirked as I made a quick meal out of another one and repeated this process. The lasers they fired at me didn't seem to hurt much and most of them didn't even touch me, the perks of being small clearly meant I wasn't an easy target.

"Retreat! Retreat! The Gourmand is too powerful!" cried out one of the few remaining drones as they ran off.

I quickly burped up some nuts and bolts, before returning to normal. The two Nemuina must've been hiding behind a tree, watching me in action. Since they flew down and in front of "Thank you so much…" said one in a feminine voice as she hugged me.

"Alright, the robots are gone!" said the other as a large number of her people fly down from the trees.

They all seem very excited to see me, "It's the hero! The hero from the prophecy!" They cried out as they all landed around me.

"Oh I get! I'm Arsenal! You guys must've heard of me." I said as I looked down towards my latest fans.

"Well not the way you think child." said an older Nemuina who held a cane.

"I am Lady Mina, the village chief." She continued.

"Nice to meet ya, so what about this prophecy? And how long has Vilgax been here?"

She sighed before replying, "Vilgax has been here for three weeks. He's been ever so slowly taking over our planet and enslaving our people. This is one of the few remaining villages. As for the prophecy, a very talented girl named Tinktra had prophesized that a boy of your image would save us." She explained.

Five of the smaller Fairy aliens carried a primitive painting on a large piece of bark. It looked like an old cave man painting. It was me, or at least I think so. All I had in common with it was my black skin, green shirt and my Omnitrix. Honestly I was somewhat flattered.

"So I'd love to help you guys out, but I need to find my friends." I told them as I looked above, half hoping to see the Aldrin.

I told them about what happened, how we were attacked by Vilgax's ship and how I got separated from Kayla and Lana.

"I'm sorry Arsenal, but it's very likely your ship was destroyed."

"Yeah I guess." I replied as I looked down.

"Now now then! You must famished allow us to feed you!" said the Chief, obvious to the fact I just had a robot feast.

They began to fly up back into the trees, as I looked up I realized there were small wooden tree houses. The roofs were made of straw and there were many bridges that connected the houses. I was about to turn into Nimbus so I could fly up the 40 foot trees and join them. But a large group of the kindhearted aliens grabbed me by my arms and flew me up with them.

They quickly had a feast to celebrate my arrival. They had a large number of berries and other fruit to eat. And they had smoothies to boot, I was given a floral headdress. I didn't really like it, but I didn't want to seem rude.

I quickly drank a number of their smoothies out of cups that were kind of like coconuts. "So where is the map piece exactly?" I asked as I finished off a smoothie that tasted a lot like strawberry.

"It's within one of our hidden temples, our planet's geology has managed to hide it from Vilgax's clutches. "answered the sage as I heard a loud explosion from a distance.

I quickly got up and looked the window. "Vilgax is there! He's attacking the Hanama Tribe!" said a Nemuina who just flew into the house.

"On it!" I said as I turned on my Omnitrix.

"Look if my friends Kayla and Lana come back. Tell em where to find me!" I said as I explained what they looked like.

They seemed scared that Kayla was an Incursion, but they calmed down when I said she was a hero a lot like me. So I quickly turned into Nimbus and flew off towards the explosion. Having no idea that I was way in over my head.
