Prawn Speech

Flashback

Dingane took a single step forward, looking from Kagiso to the shadow. Just being that close to the battle suit brought back memories from that time, three years ago, that Christopher Johnson left Earth in the Mothership.

He was in the room, dead South Africans all around him. The suit moved towards him, and he cringed, throwing his hands up. The suit seemed to regard him, and then it opened it, allowing him access to the inside. He heard the sounds of gunfire outside, and he turned to see what was there. The ISU soldiers were moving closer to his position. He looked form the soldiers back towards the suit. He moved forward, his movements jittery, and the suit closed around him.

"How are you controlling that? I thought it was…dead." He said, moving closer to the suit again. Kagiso cocked her head to the side, her antenna twitching. She looked from the suit towards Dingane, her eyes changing colors still as she fought for control.

"He never died. He only wanted to protect you," she said, and Dingane looked from the suit towards her. She was leaning on the metal leg, her form flickering and finally solidifying on her human form. She sighed, closing her eyes as the suit moved, blocking the sun for her. She smiled, her blue eyes opening and locking onto Dingane's.

"How did you know that I used him?" Dingane asked, ducking his head and checking around for anyone. This part of the district was quiet; no one was out.

"He told me." She said, and with that, she scrambled onto his leg again, tapping on his chest compartment. It opened, the suit going rigid as she clambered in.

"Kagiso, wait!" Dingane called, skittering forward. She smiled at him as the dented chest plates folded in, blocking her from sight. The suit moved forward, looking around the area as Kagiso powered it forward.

"Dingane. Where should I put him?" the suit asked, looking down at him. HE shrugged, sighing, as he moved towards his shack.

"I guess that he can go into my shack. If he doesn't fit, then there will be problems." Dingane said, and they walked towards the shack, unaware that someone was watching them.

"So you remembered your friend. He won't be able to save you this time." Said the form, its dirty cloak swirling in the light breeze. The red eyes glittered from the reflection of the sun before the form moved off, towards the shack. It paused just outside of the shabby wall, its antenna flickering around to figure out what was going on. Inside of the shack, two distinct voices could be made out.

"Dingane, what did I tell you about that! Leave him alone, he is powered down in the corner!" said his targets voice. The form clicked quietly in amusement, shifting forward to hear more.

"Why did you call him in the first place? Now MNU will be swarming the place even more, for you and for him." Said a male prawn's voice, and the form clicked angrily, shifting its weight from side to side as the sound of shuffling inside the rusty shack echoed through the area.

"Watch it, Dingane!" she said, and she laughed, her lighter footsteps moving closer to the form's wall. He tensed, being absolutely still as her footsteps stopped just beyond the thin metal.

There was the sound of a prawn, screaming in the distance. The form used it to his advantage as he moved away from the wall, skittering into the darkness. He was patient. He could wait.

Inside the shack, Kagiso spun around, her form shifting as she moved away from the wall. She tripped over something, falling to the ground. She continued to move backwards, pure fear on her face.

"Kagiso, what is it?" Dingane asked, moved forward to meet her. He caught her shoulders, crouching behind her to keep her still. In her fear, the powered down suit whined as systems came on, mechanisms groaning deep within. Dingane looked briefly towards Big Papa before he returned to the terrified human prawn in front of him.

"It's him. He's here. He came after me. THeY WAnT mE BaCK." She said, her English broken through with prawn speech. Dingane looked from her to the wall, his mandibles clicking with worry and confusion. He pulled the girl gently after her, her panic giving in to exhaustion. He checked the world outside of his door; all was quiet as the sun fell below the choppy horizon. He sighed, shutting the door behind him as the electrical whine that started a few days ago started up again, a low pitched hum mixing in with the higher tone. The girl's form was wholly human again, that happened after she fell into unconsciousness, he had figured out. He moved her over to het bed, pulling the ratty blanket over top of her. He settled down beside her, his antennae twitching as he settled down into rest.
