Chapter 14: Gathering Storm Part 1: Abuduction
Dane found himself in a dark room, one he didn't recognize, clinging to his skin was what looked like a prsioner jumpsuit, complete with black and white stripes, also clinging to him, (MUCH more tightly,) was a metal collar. Panic set in as he wondered where he was and who had taken him, he tried to get up, but felt a weight keeping him down.
He looked down at his chest to see a little girl, also wearing a prsioner jumpsuit and collar, she had blonde, curly hair, and was sleeping on top of him. Both were sat against a wall, they didn't appear to have a bed. Her breath caught, and her little eyes opened to look up at him, then she smiled. Dane felt himself smile back, and an odd happiness filled him.
Wait, why did looking at this little one make him so happy? He loved kids, but the joy he was feeling was much greater than whenever he saw a little kid smile at him. He was about to ask her who she was and where they were, when suddenly a great pain filled him, emerging from his ass. He screamed as the intruder went further inside him, he heard the girl scream as a hand clamped over his mouth. A grotesque voice muttered inhuman words into his ear as it violated him.
"No! This can't be real! THIS CAN'T BE REAL!"
He focused on that, he focused on it being a nightmare, even if he was wrong it was much preferable to focus on that than what was actually happening.
Thankfully, he was right, and a bright, harsh light filled his vision as he awoke, screaming, in a strange, metallic room with windows showing what looked like the night sky outside. Strange, grey skinned humanoids surrounded him, they had slanted eyes and were clothed in strange, blue uniforms with brightly colored electronics attached to them. They made "moo-ing" sounds as Dane stood up, screaming, and attacked the one nearest to him and snapped its' neck before it could get away. He tried to do the same to the rest, but they fled out of the room before he could get to them, closing the sliding, metallic door that led out of the room. Dane slammed into it, banging his fists against it.
"COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU GREY-SKINNED PIECES OF SHIT! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST DO THAT TO PEOPLE AND GET AWAY WITH IT?! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!" Dane punched the door many more times, and even caused a dent, but by then his fists were bleeding. He slumped against it, sobbing. He slid down as the adrenaline left him, and soon he was sniffling.
"Uh, hey kid, you okay?"
Dane shot up, looking around the room to see an adult man strapped down onto a table that had a floating machine with what looked like a big, industrial plastic dildo attached to it. The man had black hair and a bar-like mustache, and was dressed in light blue pajamas.
Dane sniffled and wiped his face. "Y-Yeah, sorry, I'll free you." He then move towards the man to undo the straps keeping him down.
"No! Wait!" But Dane had already wealked into the electric forcefield surrounding the man, to say it hurt was an understatement. Dane jumped back, and fell to one knee. "FFFFUCK!"
The winced, or as tried his best to while strapped down, and said: "Yeah, sorry, the aliens keep prisoners inside these little forcefields in-between tests. Thankfully they had only gotten started on you when you...uh."
"Woke up and killed one?" Dane stated.
"Uh...yeah, to turn it off you need to cut the power to the generator. I think it's actually somewhere in this section of the ship." The man explained.
"Wait...ship? And you said those things were aliens, does that mean-"
"Yep, we're in space."
Dane looked over to one of the windows to his left, and approached it. He looked out onto the vast expanse of space and the Earth below, witnessing the clouds drift and curl above the land and sea. The moon stood idle over it, the light from the distant sun making one side shine bright.
"Holy shit..." Was all Dane could say as he took in the sight he thought he would never see.
"Yeah, it's pretty amazing the first time." The man said.
Dane snapped out of his reverie and faced the man. "'First time?' You mean you've been up here before?"
"Oh yeah, this whole abduction and probe thing happens every other month. It's one of those things that happens in small towns. It's a pain, yeah, but it beats big city traffic."
Dane was stunned to hear that, how could anyone actually tolerate being anally raped on the regular?
Dane put that aside for now, though, there were more pressing matters.
"Besides, they aren't going to be coming back after tonight."
Dane then addressed the man. "So, if this has happened to you before, do you know how to destroy this ship and escape?"
"Uh, usually I don't destroy the ship, I just sneak out. Even if I did know though I don't think it'd help you."
Dane's face scrunched up in annoyance. "Why not?"
"Well, um, this looks like a different kind of ship than the ones that came here before. On my way here I noticed it's a lot bigger, with more heavily armed aliens and ones in uniforms. I'm not sure why. I also didn't see any other test subjects besides you." The man explained.
THAT gave Dane pause. "You think they're getting ready to invade?"
"Maybe, but if they were gonna they probably would've done it already, given how many people they have here, they may just be a scouting party or something."
Dane then looked towards the door. "Even more reason to kill all these fuckers, you said there was a generator powering your containment field, do you have any idea where it is specifically and how to get there?"
"Like I said, it's probably in this section of the ship, I don't know where exactly, but over there may be a good place to look." The man then pointed to something behind Dane, who turned his head to look. Behind the table he had been held was a hallway leading somewhere else in the ship. "Huh, lucky, guess I'll go look." He then turned to the man. "Thanks, mister uh..."
"Randy, Randy Marsh." He said, he then put his hand into the handshake position...or at least as best he could being bound. "Nice to meet you."
Dane took the man's hand. "Dane, Dane Simons, nice to meet you too Mr. Marsh. I'll be back soon." He said, turning to walk out.
"Uh, kid?" Randy spoke up.
Dane turned to him. "Yeah?"
"You may wanna pull up your pants."
Dane looked down and saw his pajama pants were still down from the probing. He hurriedly pulled them up and ran out.

The corridor of the alien ship was long and bare of any decoration save for a few neon-like lights built into the sides. The metallic surface of the walls were tinged blue, while the floor looked black, the sounds of the humming advanced electronics were the only sound that accompanied Dane as he quietly wandered through the cold veins of the massive metallic monstrosity that had nested above his homeworld.
"Alright, Dane, don't be intimidated. You beat a monster five times your size and a bunch of other monsters today, a few grey men shouldn't be a problem."
"But you had people to help you, AND a weapon" A part of him countered, and he knew it was true, he was alone now, and without a weapon. Nontheless, he continued walking, careful not to make much noise. After a few minutes he came upon a door with a circular window, he looked inside and saw what appeared to be some sort of lab, with more alien scientists examining some objects from Earth, what drew Dane's attention though was his sword, inside a tube being scanned by one of the aliens using some sort of device.
"Well, at least my sword's here. But there's still the problem of getting inside and getting it back."
"THIS UNIT BELIEVES IT CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE IN THAT REGARD." A robotic voice said, its' voice feeling like it was speaking right into Dane's ear. Before he could process that and look around, an intense, excruciating pain began to explode from deep inside him, he screamed as he felt something move through him and quickly, but painfully go towards his lower half, giving a terrible, but familiar sensation. The next moment, Dane felt something burst out from his anus. He screamed, both in rage and pain, his vision going red, he instinctively turned and wrapped his hands around what had come out, going for where he thought the throat would be and began shaking.
"YOUR ATTEMPTS AT STRANGULATION ARE FUTILE, MY MODEL DOES NOT BREATHE." The same robotic voice from before said. Dane's vision began to clear, the red fading, when it did he beheld what had come out of him.
It appeared to be a small, mechanical creature, its' body was made up of interconnected, stick-like rods with wires connecting each segment, two similar-looking, arm-like appendages stuck out from its' sides, made up of two rodes each, the "forearms" being bigger than the "hands." The "head" was a singular eye with a set of metallic eyelids, the actual eye was made up of intricate machinery, glowing blue circuit grids etched into the surface, with the pupil being the core of it, the blue cicuitry converging in the middle and glowing a brighter white, forming into a diamond shape. Two antennae with radiant blue tips were perched atop it, with joints present at the connecting points for articulation.
Dane let go, and sized up the small robot, it didn't appear hostile, and its' words from earlier finally registered to him, "you want to help me?"
The robot extended further out from Dane, appearing taller than him as it looked down at its' host. "YES, THIS UNIT IS A RESEARCH, ANALYSIS, LOGISTICS, PHOTOANALYSIS, AND HACKING MODEL INFILTRATION DRONE. FOR BREVITY, YOU MAY REFER TO IT AS R.A.L.P.H. THIS UNIT BELIEVES WE HAVE A MUTUAL REASON TO COOPERATE."
Dane folded his arms. "And what is that?"
R.A.L.P.H. lowered down to Dane's level. "THIS UNIT IS TO BE DISCONTINUED, WHILE THIS UNIT IS IMPLANTED INTO YOU, ITS' CREATORS WILL RECONFIGURE THE NANITES THAT MAKE UP ITS' BEING AND WIPE ITS' OPERATING SYSTEM. YOU HOWEVER HAVE BECOME AN UNKNOWN VARIABLE IN THIS UNIT'S CREATOR'S PLANS BY ESCAPING CAPTIVITY, THIS UNIT'S CALCULATIONS SAY YOU HAVE A 70% PROBABILITY OF ESCAPING AND DESTROYING THIS RESEARCH FACILITY."
"And why exactly would you want that? Destroying the station I mean." Dane asked.
"WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF THIS FACILITY, THIS UNIT'S ACCESS CODES WILL BE GONE. FOR SECURITY REASONS, THIS UNIT'S MODEL, AS WELL AS ALL INFILTRATION DRONES, HAVE UNIQUE ACCESS CODES GENERATED THAT ARE GIVEN TO THE SHIP'S CREW FOR MAINTENANCE AND IN CASE OF ROGUE BEHAVIOR. WITH THE SHIP DESTROYED AND THE CREW DEAD, THE PRESERVATION OF THIS UNIT IS ASSURED. IT IS ONLY LOGICAL."
"That's rather cold, then again, I guess I can't judge, I was planning on destroying the station for what they did to me and others." Dane said, lowering his arms. "Why is my percentage so high though? I'm just a kid."
R.A.L.P.H. looked at Dane, not betraying any emotion the boy could discern. "THIS UNIT BELIEVES YOU ARE LYING. I AM CONNECTED TO YOUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM AND HAVE ANALYZED YOUR BODY CHEMISTRY. YOUR BLOOD AND D.N.A. ARE MARKED BY AN ANOMALUS MATERIAL I DO NOT RECOGNIZE, AND YOUR MUSCLE MASS IS FAR BEYOND THE AVERAGE OF YOUR SPECIES AT YOUR AGE. YOU POSSESS ABNORMAL TRAITS THAT GRANT YOU ABILITIES BEYOND NORMAL HUMANS." It then tilted its' head. "WHY DID YOU TRY AND DECIEVE THIS UNIT? IT SEEMS UNNECESSARY.
Dane looked down, not meeting R.A.L.P.H.'s gaze. "I don't want to think about it okay?" He then looked up, putting on his fiercest expression. "I'll work with you. So, can we get my sword back? I'm pretty sure I'll have an easier time with it." He then turned to the door, R.A.L.P.H. did the same, looking over Dane's shoulder.
"YOUR WEAPON IS BEING STUDIED DUE TO THE UNKNOWN ENERGY INSIDE IT. THE SCIENTISTS ARE UNGUARDED DUE TO THE NEAR-IMPENETRABLE SOUND-PROOF DOOR AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM THAT ATTACKS INTRUDERS. THIS UNIT CAN OVERRIDE THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND OPEN THE DOOR, BUT YOU WILL BE OUTNUMBERED IN CLOSE-QUARTERS, THE RESEARCH TEAM ALSO HAS L-4 SERIES ION WEAPONS. ONE HIT FROM THEM WILL DISINTEGRATE YOU."
Dane groaned. "Is there no other way?"
R.A.L.P.H. extended further from Dane's anus and drew the boy's attentton to an air vent at the right of the lab's door. It was similar to vents on Earth, only more rounded at the corners with two lights at the sides that glowed red, the hinge was located at the cover's bottomost side. "THIS VENTILATION SHAFT GOES THROUGH THE LAB. THIS UNIT CAN DISABLE THE MOTION SENSORS INSIDE. YOU CAN TAKE THE SCIENTISTS BY SURPRISE ENTERING THIS WAY. YOU HAVE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF NEUTRALIZING THE SCIENCE TEAM AND RECOVERING YOUR WEAPON WITH THAT VARIABLE."
Dane stepped toward the vent. "Seems like the only way. Open it up."
R.A.L.P.H. got closer to the vent and used his "arms" to interact with the security devices on the sides of the vent's covering, it opened, the cover moving downwards on its' hinge, which appeared automated. R.A.L.P.H. retracted closer to Dane, (which made the boy wince in pain,) and faced him. "THIS UNIT WILL NOW RETREAT INTO YOUR BODY. THIS UNIT CAN COMMUNICATE FROM INSIDE AND WILL INFORM YOU OF CRITICAL INFORMATION EITHER WHEN RELEVANT OR UPON REQUEST-"
"No! Wait!" Dane cried.
R.A.L.P.H. looked at him and tilted its' head. "WHAT IS WRONG?"
Dane breathed in, then spoke. "Look, I have no problem with you being...attached to me. But could you find a less painful way of going in and out of my body? I'm not a fan of having my butthole violated on the regular."
R.A.L.P.H. was silent for a moment, then answered him. "THIS UNIT CAN RESIZE ITSELF SO THAT RE-ENTRY WILL NOT BE PAINFUL, AND WILL REFORMAT ITS' BODY TO BE LESS INTRUSIVE. HOWEVER, REFORMATTING COMPLETELY WILL MAKE THIS UNIT UNABLE TO INTERACT WITH OR HACK DIGITAL DEVICES. I ADVISE HOLDING OFF ON THAT UNTIL WE DESTROY THIS FACILITY."
Dane sighed. "Alright, hopefully you won't have to come out often."
"UNLIKELY, THERE ARE MANY SECURITY APPARATUS'S ON THIS VESSEL. YOU WILL NEED THIS UNIT OFTEN." R.A.L.P.H. said, not missing a beat. Its' pupil then dilated and it began shaking. Its' body shrank, becoming smaller and thinner. Its' arms changed into thin, wheat-shaped appendages with bright lights at the tips. It's body became the size and shape of a straw, and R.A.L.P.H.'s "head" shrank to the size of a ping-pong ball. It retreated into Dane, and to the boy's relief it didn't hurt...much.
Dane groaned. "This is going to be a long night."
He then went into the vent.
