Story 1. Totchy

Totchy stretched his four arms as he rose from bed. He gazed out the window, the twin suns were both shining, though the dwarf sun was about to set.

Totchy sighed and said, "At least it's better that them both being out."

He scratched his bald head and went outside. The bloated sun was high in the sky, but at least it was a safe distance from the planet. He looked at it through the corner of his eye. He smiled a little. Totchy was fond of all forms of life; an uncommon interest among his own planet, a planet of red, four-armed Neanderthal-like hulks. 'You're a pansy!' They said. Totchy was smarter than most of them, and was accepted on this planet, so full of life. Everywhere there were flowers and trees, animals, and the fish-like people of this planet. Even its sun had life, a flaming people. Totchy just smiled as he walked along his special path, his four golden eyes taking in the morning. He was some planet natives along the way, one of them was holding a letter and said "I dunno, it just came for me in the mail today, it's so strange………." The voices and words faded as Totchy pasted. He was curious about the letter. What did it say? The question consumed him as he a walked along back to his home. An intergalactic messenger was waiting.

"Right on schedule." The messenger mumbled, looking at his little time-pad.

Future-seeing technology. Unbelievable. Totchy rolled his eyes as the messenger shoved a letter at him. He tipped the messenger and opened his letter. It read:

Dear Mr. Totchy,

Your great strength and kindness that is unusual on your home planet has been greatly admired by us. We ask you to come to the Intergalactic Science Laboratory on the 5th moon of the crystal planet Kaplavastu to be part of a special invention. This invention, the Omnitrix, is a crucial point in bio-technology and is on the cutting edge of super-science. Our vessel will be arriving at high noon on the planet you are currently inhabiting tomorrow. Please attend.

The Intergalactic Federation of Science

Totchy was stunned. The cutting edge of super-science? How could he refuse? He waited tirelessly until the next day. Sure enough, there was the vessel, and the fish-man from yesterday. The two got on board. Eight other being were in the waiting car of the vessel. He sat next to a Vegaian engineer. Pretty small, but smart. The little being gazed up, smiled, and stared out at the starry sky. They fianally reached the moon, and the gorgeous view out the shimmering planet as truly something one only sees in a lifetime.

"This way, gentlemen," a voice said as the doors of the laboratory opened. A light that blinded Totchy was the last thing he remembered.

At least, while he was still Totchy.
