Prompt: Humans are the rarest and the deadliest species in the known universe. Often, search parties go missing due to a run in with a human ship. It has recently come to light that there is an entire planet full of them.
Prompt: It is illegal to contact the humans, as they wear an evolutionary scar from their time as prey. It is known as 'fear' and it makes them volatile and unpredictable.
A/N: I do not own South Park or any planets… I also do not own either of the writing prompts that I am using to write this story.
It is a very rare sight for the Sateils to go to war as they are a very peaceful people. Every Sateil is trained to fight from a young age if only to know how to defend themselves from other species, mostly humans. The very young, below three passes of Neptune along with their female birth givers who would be with them regardless along with the very old, more than one hundred passes of Neptune will be the only ones staying. All of the rulers were of the age to fight and so no one will be on Neso to Rule until the two youngest are old enough to complete their age ceremonies.
All Sateils four passes and above were each assigned a war ship. They were like normal ships but with lasers attached to the front and back of them. Bebe sought out Tweek before they were to leave and linked their fingers together. Tweek saw her looking at him the way bond mates were supposed to look and yet the only thing he can think is that this should not be happening.
"Tweek," Bebe started "You and I will get through this and then we can complete our binding ceremony. This is for the best of our race. I know it. Maybe it's a little selfish of me to wish that we could finish the binding ceremony first. I feel like it would make us more connected." She gave Tweek a look so full of trust and what Craig would have called love that Tweek felt sick to his stomach with guilt and shame because he felt relief that the ceremony would wait.
"It's for the best of our species Bebe." Tweek said trying once again to channel that inflectionless tone. "We are to fight for our people and ensure the safety of the Sateils."
Bebe didn't even blink over what he said, it was what is expected and from the way Tweek had been ever since they were young Bebe would not expect any other answer from her betrothed. She smiled at him and nodded. "Just, be safe Tweek ok?" She accepted his nod and turned to her ship.
They were all to take off together and Tweek couldn't help but think about Craig again. Craig who was pretty helpless on the ground. Who couldn't jump high into the air, who was a pale pink and soft, who wasn't very strong and whose saliva could not read information from anything and yet had willing shared his with Tweek in what he called a kiss. Craig who had told Tweek he loved him, which means that he wants him to be happy no matter what and yet here Tweek was, leading his race right toward Craig's.
The ruler's ships were the first into the air, shortly followed by everyone else's. Tweek was near the front along with the other future rulers of all age groups following the other rulers. They would all break formation when they arrived at Earth. There was no need to have it explained, it was already drilled into them from a young age how this would go down. Tweek had never thought he would be part of a war though, it was so uncommon that no one alive even had participated in one. Tweek would be the first to break formation, being the eldest of the future rulers it was his right to choose where to go. The only thing he had to decide was should he go to Craig or should he go to a different part of Earth and allow someone else to go. If he went to Craig, he would be part of the ground troops because he knew the area he would be expected to go and attack where he knew there were life forms.
The decision was made before Tweek really decided on it, he took off toward where he knew Craig was and this time landed his ship where he knew it would not be seen. He grabbed his ground weapons and took off running before he could really catch up with his thought process. His legs carried him quickly toward where he knew Craig the others were camping knowing he needed to kill them. It was the middle of the Earth night when they had arrived so when Tweek got to their camp site all was silent. Tweek approached the tent that he knew to be Craig's and unzipped it the way he had been showed and then there he was. Craig was sleeping with his hair flopped into his face like the last time Tweek had seen him sleeping and he felt his heart breaking as he looked down at the gun in his hand before reaching his hand out to Craig and slowly moving his hair out of his face.
Craig's eyes opened a little sleepily and he looked up at Tweek and blinked once, twice and then three times before they widened and he sat up.
"Tweek!" Craig practically shouted before pulling him closer and kissing him completely ignoring the fact that Tweek had a gun in his hand. Tweek kind of forgot about his gun as he wrapped his arms around Craig and pulled him closer kissing him back with just as much enthusiasm. It wasn't until they pulled back and looked at each other that Tweek remembered why he was here and his smile turned into a grimace. He looked away from Craig and pulled out of his arms just as Craig asked, "What's wrong Tweek?"
"Craig," Tweek began "I'm not here to see you. I made it back to my planet and I had to tell them where I was. Humans kill my kind so often that when they found out I knew where your planet was…." He trailed off and looked at Craig again who looked a little confused still. "We are here for war Craig. We are going to kill most of your race as a message that it will not be tolerated anymore." Tweek looked at Craig and tried to make it seem like he was unfazed but the look of hurt and confusion on Craig's face was enough to make Tweek want to take it all back.
Craig's eyes narrowed into a glare as he took in Tweek's words. "You're going to kill my race to send a warning to a couple of them?" Craig cried angrily. Tweek was surprised by the loudness of his voice as well as the venom he could here as if Craig had turned into the monster he had heard all humans were. Tweek was so surprised that he almost missed the head shake Craig made or the noise of exasperated disgust. Tweek stayed where he was as Craig stood up and pushed past him on his way out of the tent and continued to stare into the blankets in his shock. It wasn't until he heard Craig make a sound of pain that he stood up and hurried his way out of the tent to find Craig struggling in the arms of a Sateil with long blonde antennae moving in the quick jerky way of agitation, her glowing purple eyes staring at him in shocked confusion and a hint of betrayal.
"Bebe!" Tweek gasped.
