Guardians of the Galaxy .12 Life and Death.
I walked into my room and Geegee zoomed up to me."Hello Minore,how did the mission go?"She beeped happily,I looked at her."I failed to protect Samuel Wycoff...He died..Geegee in the morning I want you to research as much as you can about the Endrum Collective and the leader,Sakaguchi Abbott."I told her,I wanted to find out as much as possible about him."OK!I'll get started in the morning if that's alright with you..I rather look very forward to researching!"Over the time I've been with Geegee,I've found out that she loves to learn about things,I often find her reading any book she can,and she doesn't speed scan,she reads them like any normal 's Geegee for you.
But for now I needed rest,I was just about to change into my pj's when a knock came from my door."Doors open."I called out and Kollam came in and leaned against the wall."I heard what happened...But not in detail,what happened back there,Minore?"He asked me,shear worry and concern was plastered on his face,I looked to the ground before telling him everything that sighed deeply before noticing the Moatoob wild passion flower on my desk,he raised his eye brows at it."Now where did you get that from?"He walked over to it and confirmed to himself that it was in fact the real thing."Raye gave it to me earlier today.."I said sheepishly,he chuckled slightly before casting is eyes downward at me.
"Watching someone die right in your very arms...its very just remember you can't save every person out there..."He sounded deeply sad."The funeral starts tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.,I'll drive you there if you want."He said,I gave him a weak smile."Thanks.g-night."He put his hand on top of my head and ruffled my hair some,just like any older brother would.
Kollam was always more of a father figure to me,he helped raise my when our Uncle had to take us in,guess that's why so many people always think Kollam is my father,but he always make sure to act like a brother sometimes.
"G-night,Minore."He then exited my room,Geegee who now had heard everything about the mission came up and hugged me."Oh Minore it must have been terrible!"She really surprised me there,"Geegeeits alright."She looked up,that round ball with only two arms sticking out the sides really looked...very emotional."I've learned enough to know that when someone dies a real heart can hurt for a long time."She must have been reading a tragedy novel again the little book worm."Geegee.."I gave her a hug too and smiled a little,be not without my friends.I'm very glad for that.
Dark clouds swirled around me as I looked at the CAST Sakaguchi with nothing but hate in my stood there for the longest time,just watching me and what I didn't evil smile slipped across his face as Samuel's body lay at his just stood there chuckling to himself,I couldn't move an inch,and he didn't move at all.
Then I woke up to the lights being turned on,I looked out my window into the vast endless space full of countless shimmering stars,and then I saw Geegee fly in,more like zoom in though."MINORE!I found the files you requested!I spent all night searching data banks of all sorts trying to find out more about that wicked man!"She urgently beeped,I blinked at her,"All night,Geegee?T-Thanks."Wow,Geegee can be just full of surprises."I only found very little though,mostly about the Endrum Collective Endrum Collective specializes in researching and protecting the Relics with extreme vigor and in studying the artifacts found inside them...Any trespassing without their consent can result in court-marshals or worse..Sakaguchi Abbott,"She hissed at his name,"is the very top leader and commands with an iron fist -no pun intended,Minore.I couldn't find anything ."She looked mad at herself for not finding more,I put my hand on the top of her head."Hey don't sweat it,you found out a great deal of you very much I was able to buy a bunch more Nuedaiz Ebon for you."
With all the Ebon I gave her she leveled up,suddenly a light engulfed her,I covered my eyes and when I looked at her.
She had transformed!Her hands were slightly bigger and she had turned a light girly blue,but still a round ball with two arms and glowing photon wings in the I was still in shock."What just happened!?"I asked,although I had to admit,she did look even cuter."I leveled up!I leveled up!!And I feel so much stronger,Minore!I read once when you give your partner machine enough items they evolve!This is great!"She was flying all over the room,or as the saying goes 'bouncing off the walls' I had to grab her to stop her from breaking something!
"Hey calm down,Geegee!You'll break something!"She then calmed down."Oh!Minore you've received a mission today!Your team mates Raye,Mira,Felix,and Fuma are waiting for you outside at the Central Table."I nodded,"Alright then,thanks and I'll see you later."
I walked out the door and Damon jumped on me knocking me to the floor and covering my face with gross wet centipede kisses."AHCK!DAMON!"I giggled,being a very ticklish person,his antennae were feeling over my neck and since they were a little furry they tickled like HECK!
Raye ran over and picked him up off of me,which was VERY hard to do.I looked at Damon and saw he had gotten about an inch longer."Damon shed last night,he'll be coming with us on the mission.I had him taken to a centipede trainer,she said that he's old enough to take part in small missions."He struggled with the trashing Damon,Fuma came and helped me up..Wait he just helped me up?Is he sick or something?
"Still got yer back..You should be back to get to the funeral if he hurry with the mission."..He must have heard about what happened."Yeah well..It dosn't start untill about 4:00 p.m. so we'll have enough time to finish the mission."I tried my best to smile,but I did poorly at Damon broke out of Raye's arms and came up to me,this time he didn't jump he just looked up at me and blinked,I patted him on the head and he purred loudly.
"Alright now that we're all 've received a mission from a De Ragon sanctuary infant -only about tree weeks old- has somehow managed to break out and is now Da Ragons are an endangered species it is very important that we find this infant before it becomes infected by an even worse case scenario would be if rogues found the 50 years ago De Ragons were nearly driven to extinction through heavy ,limbs and other body parts are highly valuable."Mira informed us.
De Ragons!?Wait,aren't those things supposed to be like two and a half stories high,breath fire,not at all friendly and are highly dangerous?
"Oh don't worry,the De Ragons there are bred to be docile towards people and are very well trained by special trainers shouldn't have anything to worry about!"Felix chuckled,but I wasn't so sure.
"Alright then,I have a few reports to hand over to the higher-ups,so we'll have about thirty minutes until 'll meet back up at the PPT station in front of the Parum ya then!"Felix held up the documents then headed off towards the elevators and Fuma went with him.
"While he does that,I'm going to go see a 'friend'.You two watch yourselves now."Mira stated,Mira was in the middle of a drug bust so she still must be then ran towards the giant fountain that is the Central Table and was just about to jump in the water,Raye pulled him away."Damon NOO!"That little bug must have really been strong because he did make it to the water,and pulled Raye in with him!They both fell in with a big splash,I ran over and leaned over the edge."Well isn't that nice?"I giggled,Raye was completely soaked,he had landed under one of the spouts and now water was cascading over his head and his ears drooped down.
Damon was paddling around in the water having the time of his life."Oh laugh it up Minore!"He parted the long hair that covered his eyes and rolled them at me as I covered my mouth with my hand to keep from he got out he smirked at me just before shaking the water off and getting me wet!"RAYE!"I shouted in surprise,then Damon jumped out and shook his body too,getting me even more soaked!
Raye was laughing at the whole thing,I shot glares at him only making him laugh 're lucky that Mira left long before Raye fell in,and that there was not one person to witness everything ether."Hehe sorry about that."His voice noted that he wasn't."Your so not."He just chuckled,"Fine,I'm not."His smug look returned,I rolled my eyes.
I walked into my room and quickly got dried off,I was lucky I wasn't as wet as Raye.I turned to see the Moatoob wild flower,the light blue glow warmly twinkled.
Raye then stepped in,he quickly went and changed into another Gojo outfit (..He has over two of the same outfit?) and Damon rushed by and right to the Moatoob flower,he tried to look over but but he was a little too short but his antennae made it easily.
Raye came up to Damon and hooked his new black leather collar to a leash."That way you won't be taking another swim!"He chuckled to the purring centipede and stood back up."Your nervous about the De Ragons aren't you."He said,I half nodded,the worst thing imaginable is get a full grown bull Da Ragon mad!
Damon then saw Geegee for the first time,he ran up and sniffed,giving Geegee quite the scare,she beeped frantically and zoomed behind me."Geegee?"Raye looked at her puzzled."Yeah,she leveled up this morning."I told him as Geegee came out from behind me."M-Minore..Is that a giant Moatoob centipede?"I nodded at her,last night I saw her reading "Moatoob Wildlife",she saw a picture of a fully grown centipede and threw the hologram book when the hologram made the centipede rear up and jumped in bed with me.
"Yes he is,and he's very friendly so you don't have to be scared of him."She then came out from behind me and flew lower to inspect Damon,he jumped on her and started to like her the same way he did me,she let out a series of giggleing beeps.
I came and tried to pull Damon off,but he was too strong and put his arms around my waist and pulled,but he pulled to hard to quick and we fell back,Raye fell against my bed and hit his head on the iron part of it,I fell in his lap,and Damon fell back on me.I couldn't move under Damon and Raye was rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head,Geegee hoisted herself up before hovering back into the air,"Well that was interesting...Are you two alright?"She asked,I was trying to push Damon off me while he had crawled over me to get to Raye's face -nearly poking me with his mandibles on the way- and was drowning him with wet licks."D-DAMON!Off boy!"He shouted,he couldn't push Damon because I was in the way and Damon was just way too strong for obeyed him and got off us.
I giggled when I saw Raye's hair -due to Damon's intence licking- his dark red now stuck up in some places and a stray strand lay plastered between his right eye and the bridge of his was blankly stareing strait forward until he he burst out laughing,I was about to get up when Raye's grip around my waist increased."Raye let go,we have to get ready for the mission!"I tried hard not to giggle,he chuckled."Why?"He raised an eye brow and smirked at me,then let go.I got up and as Raye rubbed the now forming bump on his head,he was lucky it wasn't bleeding.
Geegee then got Raye a wet rag so he could wipe off the centipede took it gladly and thanked just looked up at Raye all sweet and innocent,Raye narrowed his eyes at him."What are you looking at drool boy?You did this to me."He said as he picked up the hair across his face and a few small strings of saliva fallowed the hair like clear bubbly goo."Ohhh that's gross."I cringed,his pupils shrunk a little."...Maybe I'll go wash my hair.."His voice cracked,can't blame him,centipede spit is thick and gooey and very hard to get out.
He went over to his room and took a shower while I gave Geegee some more stuff to ten minutes,it doesn't take that long just to wash only your hair,I hope he didn't blow anything up again.I decided to go see what was my room I walked over to his door and knocked,it opened and Damon ran out between my legs with Zion hot on his tail,he zoomed over my head and was trying to grab Damon's leash."Pardon me ma'am!"He beeped,I then walked into the room...only to come face to face with the head of an Onmagogh!!
I hit the wall behind me with my back and let out a shrill scream!I turned and started to run like a bat outta heck!And ran right into Raye -who had heard my scream and had ran to me- and now he held me close in his chuckled when he realized why I screamed."I really need to get rid of that don't I?"What's he talking about?I looked at the head one more time...Fake..F-A-K-E fake..It was just a life sized model of the head resting on a pedestal."YOU JERK!!"I started swatting at his chest to make him let go,which only made him laugh and he didn't and WHY does he even have THAT!?
"Why do you even own one of those!?"I glared at him,taking notice that he was still wet from the shower,he had that smug look again."Hehe funny story really..After our first mission on Nuedaiz..remember how our mission was made into an S rank?Well this is what I got as a reward for completing the mission.I decided to keep it."I remember now,I was offered one but instead I just took 5,000 meseta in exchange.(Cheap thing really.)I can't believe he kept his!He started to look a tad bit nervous from my intense glare."...I'll put it away then."
Zion came back in -looking very tired too- and had finally caught Damon's leash,and Raye did put that fake Onmagogh away.I just pray he keeps it away from me."Pfft Minore you shouldn't get so worked up over was only fake."I gave him a scolding look as Zion took Damon out of the room and into onther room leaving us alone.
"Raye that didn't look fake to me!No wonder I never came in here seriously you need to clean up a bit."His room was a typical male teen room,a few clothes thrown about the place,an empty pizza box still stained with grease,his bed wasn't made up at all and the sheets could use a good had a pop-up kennel over in a corner with a water dish in front of it that could use some cleaning as well.
He just shrugged,I rolled my eyes and walked by him."I going to get some breakfast before we coming?"He nodded to me and we started to leave when Damon started to both looked over our shoulders and our faces fall flat,Damon had left a nice little puddle in the middle of the floor and climbed onto Raye's bed and now was hiding under the blanket -I thought bed-bug for some reason.
"Gaa Damon!Thats the seconed time today!"He growned,Zion flew over and corected him."Actually the first time was more...solid need me to get you a towel since I'll most likely short out?"He inched away from the puddle,Raye just glared."You're water-proof Zion!"
"Well..He's your bug!"The little bot retorted,I could tell Zion was much like Raye,once or twice Geegee had complained about the bot,saying that he must of had a lose wire or that his hard-drive had been I think was the result of Raye's handy-work.
Raye glowered while he cleaned up Damon's little mess,I had walked outside for a moment to wait for him to finish and watched as the many people hurried along their day,people talking on their cell phones,some carried important looking briefcases as they walked by,one male Newman with what looked like to me a giant red beach ball for hair and holding a boom-box to his head walked right by me,I had to bite the bottom of my lip to keep from laughing!His head was bobbing up and down to the hip-hop and he wore these HUGE glasses as he strolled down the walk-way like he owned the whole Colony!
No other GUARDIANS patrolled this level of Clyez City which struck as a little odd to me,but I shrugged it off when suddenly I heard a deafening crash,like extremely thick glass shattering into a thousand bits and an explosion!
Looking up -as everyone else did- I saw that a SEED forum had crashed through the top of the Colony and was headed for the Central Table!
"RAYE!"I yelled as the meteor-like SEED fell very fast and hit the Central Table,sending water,stone,and black smoke everywhere as well as screams from near by broke out around the impact site,it was extremely hard to see,Raye had ran out with Damon at his side just as the SEED hit the Central Table.
"What's happening!?"He shouted,I turned to reply but was hit by a large tendril and was sent sprawling,I then pulled out my Dagger and hit the comm. link.
"Back-up needed in Clyez City on the first floor at the Cetral Table,a SEED forum has just crashed through!We need help now!"I contacted the Headquarters,if no-one came to aid us soon then there may be dire casualties,with so many people around and such a large SEED..
The SEED unfolded itself from its fetal like position and roared,causing everyone to panic!As I charged at the SEED it lashed out at me,I dodged the tendril-like arm and slashed it,leaving a large gash in my blades SEED Vance roared in agony,then i began to tremble,then the tremble turned into violent shaking as the SEED split in half!But it was unharmed as it regenerated the lost half of its body as did the other split off had duplicated another SEED Vance,the newly formed Vance was covered in slime that made it glossy and far more back-up had just now arrived,a few of the other GUARDIANS directed the panicking crowd out of harms way as many other GUARDIANS began to shoot at the SEED,the seed duplicated itself again as I ran and stabbed one of them in the eye and then got stabbed in the side by a large tendrill -not too deep though- I couldn't see anyone else though,the smoke that filled the air made it too difficult for that,and breathing became a labor in itself.
Then through the smoke I saw a young human boy -no older then ten,eleven tops- cowering in front of a Vance,its jaws dripped with saliva as it stared hungrily at the young boy whom was sobbing,as the Vance drew back its head I ran in front of the before I could use my Dagger the Vance's jaws clamped down on my right shoulder,threw clenched teeth I howled with pain as I sank its fangs in deeper,I lost grip on my Dagger -which was in my right hand- and glared into its unblinking eye,I did the only thing I could at the moment,I headbutted the large eye.
The SEED drew back and howled,but as it was drawing back its teeth had torn through my flesh leaving streams of blood pouring out of the gashes,I looked over my shoulder to the young boy.
His eyes -the brightest color of green I've ever seen- were wide with pure horror and terror."Stay close and don't stray!"I told him and picked up my Dagger,he nodded and stayed behind me as the Vance growled at me,threw the blinding smoke I could see a glowing green liquid pour out of the eye where I had headbutted it,I realized that must have been blood and now I had blinded it in the right eye.
Suddenly Damon lept through the smoke from the Vance's right and sank his mandibles and fangs into the Vance's lower body,the Vance was very much like the Vancint but much,much more dug his claws into the Vance's hide with his four upper arms,staining them Vance frantically tried to detach Damon from it pained hide but I struck it with my Dagger,constant yells,screams,cries,roars and orders being barked filled my ears to the point where I just wanted to claw at them!
Just then the glass that the SEED had broken at the top of the colony was now crashing down,sending shards as large as a small car to almost impossible to see.I felt a warm wet stream of liquid smoothly flowed down the side of my shards of glass had fallen everywhere,any size could be considered deadly.A very large piece of shrapnel had sliced off the Vance's right arm,screaming in pain the Vance looked to me as a way to vent out its anger and pain.
In all this I prayed Raye was alright,all the glass that fell could have very well killed him along with many other GUARDIANS,things were now getting really bad.
As I stabbed the Vance numerous times at the neck as it bit at me -ignoring the pain that coursed through my entire body- I saw the young child pick something like a piece of shrapnel and stab it into the Vance!A stupid and costly mistake,the Vance lurched forward mouth wide to swallow the boy!My eyes went wide with terror,I would never let another person die as long as I can help it!
I lept to the Vance's head and jabbed my dagger into the Vance's mouth horizontally,causing the Vance's mouth to remain open against its will,but it slanted its eyes at me and began to bite down on the blade with my hand and arm attached!the hem of my shirt got caught on a long sharp tooth and I became unable to pull my arm out as it lowered its jaws intending to take my down with it,swiftly the jaws clamped down on my arm as the long Dagger protruded threw the tip of its to my shirr good fortune my arm was caught in a gap between the teeth,but non the less when the beast toppled over my arms was twisted back and I became pinned,the Vance had fallen on the side where my arm was clamped in its mouth.
"Miss!"I heard the young boy call out as he ran to me and was about to help me when I stopped him."No!Leave me and run!"There were too many SEED around for him to just help me,he was just a child..He doesn't need to throw away his life for the sake of ran over and began pushing at the SEED's head trying to move it off me,and the young boy refused to move despite my then began to try and lift the head with Damon just as a figure appeared in the smoke,I could make out who it was,but the young boy saw him/her and began to yell."OVER HERE!Please help us!"
The figure turned to us and then sprinted towards us,it was Michael!A white haired Beast who was a very close friend of Father and Mother."Minore that you!?"He yelled over the loud noises that bombarded my hearing,he then moved both Damon and the boy away and lifted the head off of me and removed my arm."You are quite the sight for sore eyes Michael,thanks."I told him as I held the numb limb,I realized the bone was broken in at least four or more places.I also looked around and saw that all the SEED were dead,the original Vance had duplicated itself at least eight times.I looked around for Raye and saw him hunched over and supporting himself with his sword,he was panting hard and clutching a wet spot in his side.
He saw me and limped over.I went to him and helped brace him up by holding onto him."Minore..Are you alrigth?"He looked at my wounds."Mere cuts,I've been through what happened to you?You have a hole in you side now!"My eyes went wide at the wound,he must have been stabbed by a large hole bled out and now the lower part of my clothing was stained red.
"Ahh its like you said,I've been through worse."He gained that smug look of his then leaned off of me and on his own,I then looked to the young boy,his blond hair was stained green with Vance blood and his clothes had become torn,he was trembling too as large and obliviously hot tears streaked down his face,yet a determination burned in his eyes as he looked up at me and stared at my wounds.
"...I'm sorry..Your hurt all because of me..Please can you forgive me?"He managed to say in-between sobs,I looked down at him tenderly,"Don't 's m-my job to protect people like you..wince Tellme what's your name?"I asked him,being such a brave child at his age no less,its not something you come by often."Roger Bermin,Ma'am.."I smiled at him,"And mine is Minore Sato."I told him and then I turned to Michael whom looked very worried.
"We've suffered a lot of casualties,because of the surprise attack we couldn't mobilize enough GUARDIANS in time..And they weren't even the real threat..The glass that fell was far more dangerous then the Vances themselves.."He wiped his brow with the back of his thick and muscular arm."Alright lets get our injured to the infirmary-including you two- and then we'll determine the damages."I looked around at the destruction the SEED had caused.
The Central Table was in ruins,a column that held up the upper levels had broken in half -but the other columns held the upper level and kept it from collapsing- but the shattered remains of the column made it difficult to get to everyone that was in need of help,and it blocked off one of the walk-ways making it even harder for medical assistance to arrive.
Near the open walk-way I saw many injured and hurt GUARDIANS being carried out,a few GUARDIANS from the medical department were tending to as many GUARDIANS as they was everywhere,I saw one man had a shard that at first I mistook for a sword lodged in his arm,others where in even worse and I had it easy,I was sure a few GUARDIANS were killed,and perhaps even a few was just about to take me when I stopped him."No.I'll use a TECHNIC to heal myself and Raye..Then I'll help tend to the wounded."Our injuries would be easy to heal,and I needed to help as many people as I could,as a GUARDIAN its my duty to do so.
After I healed myself and Raye,we both went to look for any injured or trapped fire had long been put out by the broken fountains spray as water now jetted out of the broken pipes -save for a few small flames that were just out of the waters up once more I saw the gaping hole in the very top of the Colony,being so far away though it only looked like the size of in reality that hole may have very well been the size of 13 football only reason why everything wasn't being sucked into the vastness of space was the photon shield around the GUARDIANS Colony,a shield that only kept air in..but it kept nothing solid out in order for PPT ships to fly through without any turbulence.
Roger held tightly to my hand,the young boy may have been the most fortunate one of all,only a small cut on his arm from a small shard of glass was the only injury he wanted to find his mother now,they had become separated in the smoke and he wanted to come with me to go and look for 's armor-like shell had kept him protected during the entire battle and now Raye was using him to sniff out anyone trapped under the rubble.
I pulled out an old man from under a small steel bar and called for an E-vac for him,Roger kept calling for his mother."Don't worry Roger,we will find 'll see."I assured him,he smiled weakly at me.
Then He gasped and ran behind me to a mound of rubble..where a woman's hand was sticking out,we both began pulling the rubble off,as soon as I uncovered her face the young boy broke down confirming my worst fears..
I pulled the rest of the rubble off her and Roger went and clung to the woman and tried to shake her awake,tears left clean streaks as they fell across his dirt stained face,but the woman didn't move."Mommy?Please wake up!Your ok right?Mommy?"Raye along with a few other GUARDIANS came with him.
The boy laid his head against his mothers and cried,I then went to him to pull him away so that the body could be covered up with a cloth until she could be carried out.I swallowed hard and picked up the child from behind,he kicked and screamed and reached desperately for his dead mother,as soon as I could I fell to my knees and held Roger close to me,his hands balled up in my shirt and he screamed out his pain,with my face in his hair I sob a little for him."Please..Don't let him become alone..Don't take his mother,please Lord."I prayed,I knew no-one else could hear,but I hoped it got through somehow.
Raye went and checked her pulse first before covering her."Nothing..No pulse."He sounded pained,but as soon as he started taking his hand away from her's,she weakly grasped his!Her eyes then fluttered open and she began to breath very stopped sobbing for a moment and looked,I let go and he ran to his mother."Mommy!"He ran to her and took her hand in his tiny ones,a GUARDIAN CAST Medical officer rushed to her and began patching up her wounds."Ro..ger..you're safe...I'm glad.."She could hardly speak though her craggy voice.
Raye put his arms around me and I leaned against him,tears ran down my face causing pure clean streaks to trial down my face against the dirt and Roger with his mother made me feel good,I helped save a few lives today..My prayer came through.
Me: Thats the everyday life in the Colony for ya!
Minore:The dangerous life if you ask me!
Raye:Ditto!
Me:Oh well,I sure hope i've been making all my readers laugh with these little end thingys,!Or I'll put Damon in your bed!HAHAH!
