Ch 27: Galactic Standard: Ch 6
Ty's POV
"Son?" My father said.
"Yeah?" I responded.
"What do you think me and my mother wished for you..." He said. "...When you hatched?"
"I don't know." I responded.
"Our wish was to give you life, give you love, give you education, and give you family." He said."Now it is your turn to do the same."
"I will." I said.
"One other thing" He said. "Well... two things."
"What are they?"
"One: Someone is coming to meet you for the first time in years." He said. "Two: An Assassin is coming after you. Be ready." He then disappeared.
"Ty?"
"Ty?" Vybe said. I woke up on the couch in the Lab. I felt sore...
"What..." I said. I'm still trying to grasp what my father just said.
"Someone else is here. He wants to speak with you." Vybe said.
"Alright... Fine..." I said. "Where is Rem?"
"She left earlier. Ix went after her." Vybe said.
"Who wanted to speak to me?" I asked.
"I don't know." She said. "They are by your office."
"Well... to the office..." I said. I grabbed a coffee and headed to my office. It was a nice place to go to, but it just was not worth it considering I like to be with my friends. I walk into the lab and I got situated. Then someone came into the office.
"Well then... I assume you are the CEO of Colorian Labs..." The figure said. "I offer you a chance to cooperate..."
"With what..." I ask before a splattershot was pulled out by the figure. "Oh, is it going to be one of those? Well then that is fine with me!" I brought out a hidden N'ZAP '89 from a drawer in my desk as I duck behind it. The liquid that splattered the walls was green colored. Time for a thought link conversation.
"Vybe? I am being shot at." I thought and the figure strode around to behind my desk and fired and hit me. The shots were doing nothing... in fact; they were sliding off of me.
"WHAT?!" The figure shouted. He started shooting more and I never felt anything. I aimed my weapon at the figure's head and stood there.
"That is strike one. Sit down." I said. The figure went to the chair and sat in it. "Now, what was this deal you brought?"
"Well... there was none... I was just sent by someone named Fade to assassinate you..." The figure said. "But I failed..." I felt bad so I gave him a few coins. He looked at me like I was crazy.
"That was my actual question. And you answered it. Thank you. Now leave before you get splated." I said, shooing him off. He got up, looked at me, and then ran off. After a bit, I left my office, gun still in hand. Vybe was just reaching me with a Splatling.
"Am I late?" She asked.
"Yes... Although the same situation that happened with Inkler nearly a month ago happened again." I said.
"Oh, their shots didn't hurt?" Vybe asked.
"Yeah... and I don't know why..." I said... Why am I invincible to any true malicious attempts to harm me?
Well... That is something...
"Anyways. Since Rem is on a rampage, Ix is trying to calm him down, we have Squidata coming after me, and someone is coming to meet me... What else must I know?" I said.
"That I still love you." Vybe said, hugging me. I hug her back. Actually, when was the last time we were home?
"When were we home last?" I asked.
"We have not been home for 4 days..." Vybe said. "We need a day off..." We take off our lab coats and exit the building. We walk home and talk about some things.
We reach our apartment, plop onto the couch, and just sit there. Eventually, Vybe gets some plates for us and orders pizza. The pizza arrives, we dig in. That's when we hear a knock on the door.
"WAHT?" I shout.
"Can you open the door!?" The gruff voice said. Being cautious, I move the N'ZAP to my belt, and...
"Hold ohn... Let meh fihnish mah pizzah first..." I said; my mouth full of food.
"Ty, Stop talking with your mouth full." Vybe said.
"Just like his dad..." I hear the gruff voice grumble. I cautiously walk to the door and open it.
"WOAH! You're TALL! Who are you anyways?" I said. The figure must have easily had a foot over me in height, had full on camo gear on, three ink weapons, and a standard Human weapon... where'd he get that? "You need that cleaned?"
"No." The figure said. "Ty... It's been a while..." He patted my head.
"Wait a minute... You know me?" I said. I became a bit nervous.
"Do I know you?" The Figure said. "I knew your parents." That hit me like a truck.
I sat in silence, staring into his eyes.
"I remember when you were still an egg." The figure said.
"This is getting kind of personal..." I said.
"Ty... They were good people... I was friends with them." The figure said.
"Oh? Who is this?" Vybe asked.
"So who is she?" The figure said. He pointed at Vybe.
"That is my wife, Vybe." I responded.
"Good job bud! You reeled in a good one!" The figure said, chuckling.
"BEFORE WE GET OUT HAND... What is your name?" I said.
"Derik... The name's Derik." The figure said.
"Doesn't sound very native... You from the farm-lands? Mountains?" I asked. It isn't a common name around here.
"No... Let's just say..." Derik said. "... I came from the past..."
"I guess so." I said.
"Not more time shenanigans..." Vybe said, exasperated.
"WAY from the past..." Derik said, pulling off his hood. He was a human. "By the way, Ty, your parents wanted me to give you this." He gave me a pair of Aviator Goggles. My name was on the back of them.
"How did you survive all those years?" I said. Vybe was staring in awe. I had my jaw on the floor.
So Fade is coming after Ty, and Derik finally finds Ty after 18 years. Those Aviator Goggles seem to have a sentimental and important role in my stories. So much rides on it's lineage.
I would like to thank Boy Jav and Super Mastour for nagging me to get this done. Trust me, I had to use my Splatoon "Soon" Picture so many times...
And I would like to congratulate Super Mastour and LuckyMilktank on being added into the project. It's becoming a community rather than an actual project... and Mastour already tried to lay some rules down (I partially follow most rules anyways. Who cares about gravity anyways?)
