Chapter 7
Halen
We all gulped.
"A-Aliens?" Erik gulped.
"Yeah. Aliens. Not necessarily little green men though." Mr. Larson said. "Well, everyone hit the red flashing button. If you need me, turn it on and talk."
I hit the button. Mr. Larson's connection shut off.
"Well, I guess we should be going," Blaze said.
"Right. When I say 'location check' wave your glow stick in the air until I say it's okay." Hardrive said.
Then we all scattered. Yes, I know it's surprising, but I didn't go with Mina. I don't think Hardrive would have allowed it, though.
I hopped over all the moon rocks and stuff like that. I had already strapped my swords to my back. Blaze did too.
"Grrow."
I stopped. Blinked.
"Grrow."
Turned around. Looked around.
"Grrow!"
Something tackled me from behind!
"Ack!" I yelled.
We somersaulted through all the moon rocks and stuff. I instinctively grabbed my sword and stabbed the thing that was on me.
"Grrow . . ." the thing said.
I stood up. Pulled my sword from it's body and looked at it. Purple goo oozed down it.
"Yuck . . ." I said, wiping it on the ground.
The alien was purple with two stalks on it's head which at the end was an eye. The pupil was yellow. The alien had darker purple spots and the same color lips. It had no nose, but it had a big head. They had three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot. They were short little things.
It's pink, slimy tongue hung out from it's mouth. I could see razor sharp teeth in it's mouth from the small opening.
"Grrow! Grrow! Grrow!" More aliens.
"Uh oh . . ." I said quietly.
I turned around.
The aliens were all over the place!
On rock mountains, giant boulders, everywhere!
"Halen!" Mina screamed.
She ran over to me. The rest of the Raiders were behind her.
Mina gasped. "What are those?!"
"What do you think they are?!" Blaze shouted. "Aliens!"
"Grrow!!!" They all shouted, jumping down.
Blaze, Erik, Slash, and Hardrive unsheathed their swords.
"Attack!" Hardrive shouted.
"GRROW!" What looked like the head alien shouted.
I leapt at the nearest purple alien. My blades whistled in the air. The alien leapt at me. He made that weird sound. His mouth was open, revealing his razor sharp teeth and snakelike pink tongue.
"Grrow!" the alien shouted.
I madly stabbed both my swords into his chest. He stopped, stuck on the swords. His tongue slid out of his mouth and his eyes shut. He was dead.
Quickly, I shook him off my sword and landed. I heard another purple alien coming from behind me. When he was about a foot away and I heard him leap, I ducked, he flew over me, slamming into a nearby boulder.
I ran over to him, kicked him in the butt and stabbed him in the back. Pulled out my sword and turned to the next alien.
"Grrow!"
I quickly turned around. No! An alien was coming at me!
He was too quick! He landed on me, sinking his teeth into my muscular arm.
"Arrgh!" I yelled, pushing him off.
"Grrow!" he yelled loudly.
I quickly buried a foot into his head. His tongue slithered out and wrapped around my leg.
It was very strong, it flipped me to the ground.
He leapt over to me again.
"Grrow!" he yelled as he approached.
As he got on me, I quickly pushed my legs and arms up, pushing him above me and into a boulder. He quickly died from the impact.
They kept attacking. There were a lot, but they were easy to kill.
A lot of them would be hard though.
Soon they were all dead. Purple aliens covered the rocky ground. Their pink tongues hung out of their mouths.
I was panting.
There were a lot and they were tiring. We all pushed the flashing red button and started to speak to Mr. Larson.
"Mr. Larson? We were all just attacked by these purple aliens . . ." Hardrive said. He described them also.
"Ah, the Grrowlians. They live underground and are very quiet except for their 'grrows.' When they attack, they attack in packs. They can come in packs of thirty to two hundred." Mr. Larson explained.
"Wow." I said.
We told Mr. Larson we were going to shut him off and we did. We continued our search for the Kagor's hideout.
