Days drifted by like clouds on the tropical winds as by the crystal blue water fall a once proud battle cruiser stood silent and still. It had been what seemed like forever to the one named 625 who was getting more and more worried over his partner's health who had not eaten and moved little in the days after he had fallen prey to this sickness of despair and anguish, he would waddle into Gantu's room which was only lit by a bedside light giving the room a kind of ethereal and eerie glow. He held a giant toasted bacon and raisin sandwich in his hands as he climbed up onto the bed hoping it's faint spicy odor would being Gantu out of this state he was in, upon seeing the glaze in those blue eyes and the coolness of his skin…it scared 625. He could not lie to himself or deny it one moment longer, the little yellow alien was fearful for the very creature who could have easily sent him away or destroy him but never did. Sure they had their differences but..625 didn't want to see Gantu suffer like this, not like this. His proud unfailing spirit was fading before his very eyes as 625 walked up close to Gantu's head and pressed the sandwich to his lips.
"I made you your fave G,'' he grinned trying to lift the dark dreary mood that had clutched the ship in it's cold icy claws. "Toasted bacon and raisin just like Moomoo used to make.''
The giant breathed softly but made not a reply or attempt to take the food he was offered, the smell of the sandwich that would normally make his mouth water now made his guts twist as he closed his eyes with a soft moan but this did not deter the fat little cousin holding it, as he placed one free hand on Gantu's upper lip and foot on the lower one and with all his strength tried to force the captain mouth open. He would get something in him even if 625 had to stuff it down his throat to do so.
"Come on!!….open your mouth!!" 625 growled through gritted teeth as he just managed to see the back of Gantu's throat pasted his massive orca like teeth as those powerful muscular jaws were pried open wide enough.
With a flick of his wrist, the sandwich was tossed in as 625 closed and held Gantu's mouth closed causing him to swallow the food automatically as 625 panted and held his knees at the exerted effort as sweat matted and dampened the fur on his brow. Gantu only returned his gaze to the ceiling as he began to drift on the seas of his mind, between awake and sleep. His eyes were half open but he was seeing a very different world…
Swirls of black and green, ones of deep blue and purple a dark lifeless void of cold and nothingness as far as his eyes could tell. No sense of the feel of gravity or of up or down told him that he was floating though this ever vasting sea of empty space, Gantu felt drained some what and weak as if he had been with out rest for a very long time as his limbs hung limp under his body as if they weighed a ton. He lifted his eyes before him as a presence was sensed not to far away as the wall of the void before him began to ripple and wave like a stone that had been tossed into a pool of water, a form started taking shape before his gaze as a shadow swirled and twisted before it settled. Blackness enfolded her body as it was her cloak, skin lime green and nails long like ebony daggers. Hair like a patch of night that had never lifted as her twin ruby eyes looked deep into the radices of his soul as her pointed ears twitched with wicked delight. He felt his eyes go heavy looking at her as he felt himself being pulled close to her open arms with nails dripping venom, something in side him screamed at him to get away but his body was numb and unable to move as he felt her hands rub the sides of his face as he came into this demon woman's grasp. He felt the weight of her breasts pressed to his chest as she aggressively locked her lips against his, it was a kiss of death as the cold ice of her poison seeped into he jaws and there was nothing he could do about it like always as he felt the burning pain of her nails as they raked a crossed his back searing his flesh as his uniform was shredded.
The agony of the pain was beyond description as Gantu moaned and cried out but there was no sound as the temptress cut his chest deep with her claws, the toxins from the burning like acid in his blood as he felt him self falling in the great dark abyss. Demonic faces twisted and contorted around him in terrible waves as he succumbed to the agony of his own personal hell as massive jaws with teeth like swords lunged out of the blackness below to claim him…
"Gahhh!!" a deep voice gasped as Gantu sat bolt upright in bed as a violent thunder storm raged on out side the ship, lightning illuminated the doorway with brilliant white light that created dancing shadows that waved a crossed the floor and into his room. Gantu sat with his face in his hands as his whole body trembled as he was soaked in a cold sweat before the heat of a fever began to set in, feeling extremely dizzy as a sudden great wave of nausea twisted his stomach. The gray alien unsteadily got up out of bed and stumbled into the bathroom before being violently ill as 625 who had not left his side in hours was roused from his slumbers and walked slowly into the bathroom while rubbing the sleep from his eyes and yawned.
"You okay G?" he asked looking both very worried if not a little grossed out by the sight before him as Gantu lay hung up over the toilet with the most miserable look on his face.
"No.'' Was all he could manage as his insides calmed down a bit. It was worse since he hadn't eaten in days as it took Gantu longer to convince his stomach he had nothing left to barf as he wandered back into his room and flopped down on the bed with a soft groan.
625 pulled the covers up over Gantu with some effort before going of to get him some water and medicine to help his stomach, all wise cracks and joking were departed from him as only concern emanated from the yellow furred creature as he watched Gantu drift off into deep sleep and really felt bad for him. Sure they fought and had their differences at times but…he never deserved this kind of pain and suffering. Ever.
As Gantu slept his experiment cohort kept a bedside vigil as the storm crashed and flashed outside and began to sing softy…
You're not alone I've been there too,
You feel that nobody cares for you.
In the darkest night when your heart is sinking like a stone,
I know what you're going through.
You're not alone.
