Alien Slave 2
Chapter 2: Big Cats
Colath 44 eyes sprung opened. He readied his energy ball and pointed towards the cave entrance. He though he had heard a sound. But there was nothing. He was getting paranoid.
It was 2 days since the death of Nihilanth and everything went into chaos. Xen Controllers rebelled. Grunts took over. Slaves went into hiding. Most of Xen blew up with Nihilanth.
Colath 44 survived the initial destruction of Xen. He teleported himself far away from the core of Xen and away from Nihilanth. Everything within a hundred miles of Nihilanth was decimated.
The teleportation systems, formally the only way of moving around Xen was down because of Nihilanth's death. Slaves and Grunts, who were incapable of flying, were stuck on islands of what was left of Xen. The controllers who were capable of flying took cover in safer caverns and isolated islands.
Anybody there?
No response.
Colath closed his eyes and let himself rest.
My eyes flew open. I looked around at my surroundings. Earth.
I pulled myself up with a tree branch and examined my surroundings. I was in a forest. I took my time and examined every detail of the forest. Greens leaves, brown bark. Grass, flowers, tiny insects. It was amazing! I never knew earth had such beautiful places and had such abundance of life. I examined even more, there were small flying insect, flying creatures, creatures that squirrel the grounds and creatures that watched from the trees above. There were too many creatures beyond the point of description.
The humans are so fortunate. The forest of Xen were nothing like this. I looked up at the skies. It was cool blue and was filled many difference flying creatures.
I trudged my way though the thick grass and took in the beauty of earth at the same time. Than I came across a water source. I jumped into the waters and cleaned myself. I drank mouth full of water from the water source.
"Grrgggg!" Came a roar. I immediately swung around. Crouching in the bushes was a creatures on 4 legs with stripes on it's body and had a tail. I could see the creatures teeth as it roared again. The teeth were like shrapnel, enough to tear me from piece to piece.
I mean no harm. I tried telepathing to the creature.
"ROAR!" It roared even louder.
Earth's landforms were beautiful, but this creature was not.
The creature leaped! I dodged the leap but one of the creatures claws slashed my side. I was sliced with pain. I was thrown on the ground. The creature leaped on me again, it clawed at my face but missed.
I retaliated and made a slice down it's belly. It roared in anger and leaped off me.
I ignored the pain quickly got up. But the creature was at the ready, within a blink of the eye, it leaped again.
Blitz!
I fell on my back with my creature over me. At the last possible moment, I managed to zap the creature, rendering it unconscious.
I pushed the creature off and took off. I did not know how long it would neutralise the creature but I did not want to be there when it gained conscious again.
The creatures of earth are aggressive and deadly. I made a mental note. I hope I did not run into anymore of those striped creature.
Forest Ranger Tim imgore was on his daily routine. Trekking along the footpath he breathe in the clean forest air.
"Felix, anything on com channels?" He spoke into his radio.
"None. Make your rounds quick so I can play with you cards. It's boring you know." Felix voice came from the radio.
"Whatever. I'll just check up on the old water hole and get back to base."
Tim trudged down a steep edge and let himself slip down a patch of dirt. He decided to take a more dangerous but shorter route to the water hole. He jumped down a series of steep cliffs and angled his legs to gain grip. He than leaped off a ledge and splashed into the water hole.
"Felix, water hole clear. I'd- hold on....I see a tiger. It's not moving."
"Tim, stay clear. You don't want to get killed do you?"
"It's unconscious. I'll go take a look."
"Roger. But be extremely careful. The tigers around here have been going crazy lately."
Tim approached the tiger, he approached it with gentle and silent steps. Cautiously approaching the creature. He saw a patch of red on the grass and slice marks on the creature's belly. However, there was no breathing.
"Felix. The tigers is dead. Some animal slice it's stomach but I do not see any other wounds." Tim said as he examined the dead animal.
"A slice in the belly area isn't enough to kill it. To the tiger, it's merely a scratch."
Tim pulled the tiger over and saw brown patches of fur. Like it was burnt.
"Felix. I am also seeing burn marks. Not fire burnt marks but...more of electrical burnt marks."
"Lightning? Impossible. It hasn't rain for 3 days."
"And the slice wound is fresh too. I still can feel the tiger's body heat. It's been killed just recently!" The tiger's body was still warm, the blood was fresh. The tiger must have died not too long ago.
"You gotta be kidding. What could have caused it's death?"
"Natural death? Unknown causes?"
"No. Unlikely. We are no traces of diseases or infections in this natural park. The wound in the stomach is still fresh right?"
"Yes. Something must have killed it."
"All right. Take it back for forensic examination. I'll call the chopper to pick you up."
