I looked around, but realized that there was no reason for me to do that. I'm the least likely person to figure out our location. I was turning my head to look at Adrasta when there was a loud zapping noise. Adrasta tackled me from the side and we went tumbling down a hill. I wanted to hurt Adrasta at that moment. I was going for her throat, but it seemed that every time I would begin to get a grip my elbow would be jarred by the ground. As I was hovering midair a moment later I couldn't help but laugh. The ground was going to be coming up and I wasn't going to see words telling me that the game was over. My descent was halted when Adrasta wrapped her legs around my midsection and locked me in place. I looked up and saw that she was holding onto a root with one hand and had her fingers clenched to a protruding rock. I saw something above her and focused on that. There was a man with a large cannon like object strapped to his shoulder. He was grinning down at Adrasta. I finally managed to get my own grip on the cliff face and pulled myself into it. I heard a buzzing noise and I have to assume the cannon is getting ready to fire.
"Don't worry, I wont miss this time."
Oh good, I was worried about that. A few seconds later Adrasta punched the cliff, seemingly, as hard as she could. I thought this to be a silly thing to do until I saw the effect of it. The ledge the man was standing on crumbled under him and he fell. As he plummeted past Adrasta she kicked her feet out and latched onto the man.
"Adrasta!"
There was too much dirt and dust in the air to see her splatter. The decision to climb down and attempt to gather up whatever pieces of her I could for a proper burial came to me with much difficulty. It took me a while to reach the base, and when I did I was very surprised to see a total lack of Adrasta pancake. Something was sparking four feet away from me. The dust settled and I saw the cannon in pieces as well as the man that had been wielding it. That's what he gets for fucking with Adrasta apparently. So where the hell is she?
"Adrasta. Are you alive?"
"Of course I'm alive."
"Oh good. Digging you a grave right now doesn't seem very appealing to me."
I turned around to see Adrasta sitting on a rock with her elbows on her knees. Seemed to me like she had been sitting there relaxing for a while. I can't blame her, it took me ages to get down here.
"What did you do to him?"
"I broke his gun, didn't do anything to him."
"Why did you break his gun? Wouldn't it have broken on impact?"
"I wasn't sure if it would break or explode until I got hold of it."
"What was the verdict?"
"It would have blown."
"Fun. Where do we go from here?"
Adrasta pointed straight ahead.
"That way is an encampment for bounty hunters. Behind us is a cave full of man eating walking plants, and if we follow the river we'll come to a village run by a man with half of a head."
"You know. . .none of that sounds very appealing to me."
"Does anything sound appealing to you?"
"Perhaps leaving this planet. That would be nice."
"Then take us somewhere."
After blinking for a couple moments I realized she was being serious. She isn't thinking straight though.
"I don't think I can do that just yet."
"With that attitude you'll never be able to do anything."
I grabbed her shoulder and thought really hard about somewhere else. I felt like I was going to gag and then I hit the ground really hard.
"Well that wasn't too bad. You'll need to work on folding us onto the ground."
A growl came out of me as I stood up. Adrasta was brushing grass off of her side.
"Where are we now?"
Adrasta looked around. She looked at me and sighed.
"You must really like this place."
"What do you mean?"
Earth. Of all the places I didn't want to be, I had brought us here. I'm such a retard. I surrendered and walked down the walkway to my front door.
"We might as well stay here until we formulate some sort of plan."
As I said that a net came out of nowhere and I was flung into Adrasta who I ended up pinning between myself and the front door.
"Don't struggle, the net will only get tighter."
I would have looked at her with slight panic, but my chin was resting firmly on her shoulder.
"Is this really a yautja net."
"You knew that."
"Fuck. Fuck-shit-fuck!"
"Here he comes."
I felt a prick in my neck and blacked out.
There was no light when I came around, but I could see. Everything was a strange shade of orange.
"Do you see in orange when it's totally dark?"
"I see in green. I always wondered what color another person like me would see in."
"Where are we?"
"We're on his ship."
"Who's?"
"Don't worry, it isn't Ya'uta."
"You would think that would be comforting, but it isn't. I know how to deal with Ya'uta. I don't know what to expect from this guy."
It was at that moment that I realized Adrasta was moving about, but I was fastened securely to a strange contraption.
"How did you get out of that?"
"I just pulled my hands out."
I pulled and my hands slid out with no problem. Adrasta rushed back over and slid herself into the contraption again.
"What are you doing?"
"He's coming back!"
For some strange reason I put my hands back. Adrasta must have noticed me frowning at her.
"I figure we can hitch a ride for a while."
"Until he slaughters us."
"Don't be stupid. You know Yautja don't just slaughter people. We'll have a fighting chance."
"You want to fight a Yautja? Why not just fold out of here right now?"
"I don't know. That gets boring after a while."
The door opened and the Yautja came staggering in. He had a large wound in his side and a glowing, bloody, handprint was left on the button that closed the door. We were in the dark once again and the Yautja was down within moments.
"Well. . .shit."
