Chapter 2 getting everyone together

On a large meadow, a farmer tends to his livestock, he surveys the land making sure no predator for revival takes his stock, now feeling confident he sits down on a large rock humming the tone of his favorite song as he pulls out his lunch from his satchel and proceeds to feast, he slowly turns to one of his cattle staring up at him, he then eyes his meal and jokingly said's "oh don't worry, nobody you know" he laughed at himself then stopped because no one was around to hear his quip, he sighed and lay on his back with his hat tilted over his eyes to protect him from the simmering summer sun, everything was quiet for a moment until he was awoken by the hectic screams coming from his herd, "something must have spooked them" he said to himself as he bared his teeth and readied his claws hoping that whatever scared his cattle would run off intimidated by his display. his head looked up to see what scared his animals, it was a small landing ship which was trying to land on some unoccupied space. he grunted in annoyance, wondering why anyone would land a ship here when the nearest town was only two miles away. he pulled out his gun being that he didn't know if they meant any harm. he hid one arm holding the gun in his poncho, he stepped forward a bit before halting and noticing that the applicants of this ship were not killer folk like he was, one was a bugfacer and the other was a creepy, big-headed creature in a cylinder. he approached them carefully before verbally confronting them "so you two like- lost or something..or you're picking a fight?" Nyckelpiga responded "we're not here to fight, we're here to ask for help." the killer folk scoffed "it's not usual for prey to ask the predator for help" he sniffed the air

"you know my kind can smell fear."

"and you reek of it"

he stated as he showed off his fangs seemingly trying to explicit a reaction "but you" he pointed at the asteromorph "I don't smell a thing" the asteromorph then grinned which to the killer folk was kind of unnerving. "my name is too advanced for you to pronounce but-"

"my partner here..is named Nyckelpiga" she was slightly agitated about the fact that he announced her name instead of herself. "my name is Carnen" the killer folk stated "and I'm not in the business of helping anyone so get back in your little ship and best it" Nyckelpiga spoke up "we will pay you" Carnen's ears perked up as now, they got his attention

" how much"

"ten million oke-yen"

Nyckelpiga proclaimed in an attempt at displaying some sort of confidence. "ok then, who's taking care of my stock?" Carnen asked now feeling calmer. "we can find someone who can" the Asteromorph said far more confidence in his voice than Nyckelpiga, "whos going to buy me a ship" Carnon had no space ship of his own being that he never left his planet much, only riding in commercial spacelines. " that will all be taken care of, everything will be waiting for you in the Midwoods Spaceport tomorrow you just have to agree to help us" Carnon contemplated for a bit. "well you never told me what you wanted help with" Nyckelpiga said that it was classified 'of course it is..' Carnon thought to himself, he was about to decline, until he remembered that even though this was his home no one would actually miss him. most of his family passed away and his friends seemed to have moved on without him, he was alone on his planet, sad and alone, he then decided. 'what the hell if this turns out to be bunk i could just kill and take their stuff.'

"ok its a deal, see y'all tomorrow, Ummm what time?" he was told whenever he's ready, and as soon as they finished discussing, Nyckelpiga and her Asteromorph tag along boarded their ship and flew off. Carnon saw them leave the atmosphere "well I guess my life is about to get a bit more interesting." he said out loud as he rounded up his herd and proceeded to walk home.

On another planet, harmonious melodies flutter about in the atmosphere, the streets that are now covered in the multicolored décor, the citizens are dancing, laughing, feasting. Treats leave a luscious scent in the air. even with colorful, familiar looking pinatas, the festivities in (whatever you call this planet Bryan) were in celebration of the defeat of their antagonizedcreators, called the Lopsiders, the humans that now inhabit the planet were twisted and contorted to live on a high gravity planet. their bodies were made to be close to the ground, only having one arm to manipulate their environment, and the rest of their limbs which consisted of typically long fingers and toes used for locomotion. After the Qu left, The Lopsiders grew intelligence, building their society and even reaching the stars. Although, because of their specialized body, they had a hard time coping with any new environment, so they had the ingenious plan to genetically create their own race to live around the other planets, these were the asymmetric people. Unlike the Lopsiders, the asymmetric people were larger and taller, with the ability to stand. Looming over their own creators. The superiority they felt brought upon a genocide. The genocide that would last many years, the Lopsiders struggled to win their race, and ultimately failed. One citizen, a Lopsider felt pity for his creators. His name is Lado and his former attempts to save the Lopsiders by hiding them as well as he could led up to his arrest. He was told he would be executed unless he disclosed the location of the hiders, and though he wanted to save the Lopsiders, he feared for his life. Lado was forgiven by his people, but he refused to forgive himself for being a coward, for not trying hard enough to save them. He thought he should've sent them into space, so they could find a new home. When his own people were having fun, enjoying themselves, feeling patriotic, and partying, Lado was sitting alone in his house, drinking his sorrows away, until he heard a knock on his door.
"Leave" he stated,
"Don't worry, we're not asymmetrics."
Those words confused him, 'who else would it be?' he thought to himself, opening the door. Now he was even more confused. Standing in front of him was a bugfacer and an asteromorph. After Nyckelpiga and her floating partner introduced themselves and explained that they needed a pilot to go off into space, and Lado would be the best person suited for the job.
"where do I sign up?"

Nyckelpiga smiled "tomorrow at 10" Lado and Nyckelpiga waved goodbye. Nyckelpiga thought that was weirdly easy,
The reason Lado agreed so easily was he was hoping that this job off world would help him forget his past.
On a nearby plant one lady was getting for the only vacation she will ever have, this was because she might die anytime soon, she was a Pterosapian, she and her people were known for having weak hearts and only living for twenty-one years, they were also known for having no boarders since the ability to fly made it where it wasn't necessary, she was about to fly only to be interrupted by Nyckelpiga and the Asteromorph, "make it quick I have to go soon" nyckelpiga talked the same old spiel which was starting to tire her, the Pterosapaien was starting to get impatient "look, this heart of mine might go out at any time so I don't wanna miss my only vacation so sorry can't talk now" the asteromorph stopped her, giving her a hexagonal-shaped object. she looked at him upset and annoyed but still hesitantly, she grabbed it
"What is it?" On the four sides there were straps, she knew it was wearable and asked if they want her to wear it, the asteromorph nodded his head, she sighed as she puts it on immediately she feels a tangly feeling around her chest "what's this!….are..you…tr…trying to kill me" Nykelpiga reassured her saying that they're not trying to kill her but to help her, the tangling stoped and she calmed down a bit "you jerks you made my heart race, I could have died" The Asteromorph smiled widely "but you didnt, don't you wonder why" she looked down on her chest noticing the device's lights and buttons " what do these do?" Nykelpiga explained that those are heart reading "they just show how your heart is, you can also change them to make your heart stronger in rough situations" the flyer was shocked to hear the last statement " you mean I can make it where my heart doesn't go out easily?" Nykelpiga nodded "just don't over do it" the pterosapien couldn't show how happy she was, she was the first to have this life saving device attached to her, no longer would she have to rush things in her life now she could take as much time as she wants "that's actually a prototype we have the full version on the bugfacer's planet, would you like to come with us to get it?" They have already gotten her trust and boarded the ship with them "oh I almost forgot we haven't gotten your name yet?" The pterosapien sat down before saying "my name is Para-vola and don't you for forget it" she stuck out her tongue giving a silly smile
