Whatever that thing was, it moved so fast that Taro hardily saw it coming before it knocked him to the ground. It quickly stood over him and struck him across the face before Taro had time to shield himself.

"Taro!" he heard Ace call just as that thing pounced on him. Ace quickly rushed over in an attempt to pull that thing off him, but was swiftly kicked in the gut before he could even touch it. Ace then backed up and shot a beam at it, being careful not to hit Taro. It was able to avoid it, while moving away from Taro in the process. Taro, tried to stand up as fast as he could, even with the pain in his arm. Ace quickly helped him up and they both looked over at what was attacking them. It was dressed in almost complete black with something around its waist and wore a hard black helmet concealing its entire face. Its body structure was similar to that of a human, except for the size. It wasted no time to plan its next move. It swiftly pulled a weapon out that was attached to its side, which looked like some kind of ninja sword. But, neither of them barely had time to observe it, before the creature charged forward at incredible speed and swung it at each of their heads. Ace and Taro, jumped back just in the nick of time to avoid getting each of their heads cut off, which would have undoubtedly happened.

They each got into their fighting stance, getting ready for the next attack, as the creature quickly ran towards them, doing a jump kick at Aces head and then an immediate side kick to his shoulder knocking the wind out of him for a moment and sending him on his back. Then before Taro knew what happened, it shot him two short quick punches to the face, kicked him in the middle of his chest, pushing him backward a few feet, and was lifting its sword with both hands, planning on finishing him with a single hard strike, when Ace jumped it from behind. Reaching for the sword, Ace toppled the creature to the ground, knocking it out of its hands. As Ace struggled with the creature for a moment, Taro wasted no time in retrieving the sword that had fallen to the ground. Surprisingly, it was actually quite heavy for a ninja sword. Knowing that they wouldn't have any use for it, Taro quickly tossed in some bushes so that the creature wouldn't see where it was.

Upon, seeing Ace being forcefully thrown to the ground, Taro quickly brought his full attention to the alien being. For a split second, it just stood where it was and seemed to eye Taro, looking him up and down. It didn't look tired at all and its energy wasn't even running low. Aces color timer ,on the other hand, was already blinking red. After quickly looking Taro over, it balled its fist in obvious anger, and made a small sound that sounded like a snarl. It immediately charged toward Taro. It was at this split second that Taro realized that the pain in his arm was starting to subside, and just in the nick of time. Just as it was swigging its arm torwards Taros face, Taro quickly blocked it and then threw a hard punch hitting it in the chest. He kneed it in the gut and then grabbing its forearm, successfully threw it to the ground. It did a somersault just as it hit the ground, and charged Taro again. It quickly punched him twice in the chest, and was about to kick him in the stomach when Taro grabbed its foot and tried to push it back, but instead it used Taro as a step and did a back flip on to its feet. When it threw a straight punch at him, Taro moved slightly to the side, avoiding it, he grabbed its wrist and shoulder and kneed it hard in the chest, as it was still bent over. Then with all his mite he threw the creature right into a big boulder with great force, rendering it unconscious.

Taro, began to help up Ace who was on his hands and knees. They cautiously approached the unconscious alien, preparing themselves for another sudden attack. It was lying face down on the ground and didn't show any signs of movement. Taro, also noticed that its helmet was cracked, which must have happened when its head hit the boulder. They both stood still, just looking at it lying there for a moment, before Taro kneeled down beside it and was reaching out to touch its shoulder.

"Careful," warned Ace.

Taro, laid his hand on its shoulder, but there was no response. Wondering if it was even alive, Taro slowly began turning it over on its back. Just as he did so, its cracked helmet slipped right off, finally exposing its face. Taro, completely froze at what he saw. Ace remained motionless as well, being just as shocked as Taro was at the sight.

Laying, there on the ground was a woman! The female sex, of a new undiscovered alien species. Neither, Taro, nor Ace could take their eyes off her. They had never seen anything like her kind before. Her skin was blue, which was slightly darker than the color of the sky on earth. Her long silky hair, fell over her shoulders, it was a bright color of purple with a few strikes of pink in the front. Her ears were pointed, almost like an elf, only hers were smaller and looked nicer. Her lips were bright red and glossy, and she wore dark purple eye makeup that glittered.

Taro, felt like he was in some sort of enchantment as he looked at her, he had truly never seen anything like her before. She had beautiful skin, she had beautiful hair, she had beautiful red lips. SHE was beautiful! As he continued to gaze upon her, his eyes traveled down to her chest, which is when he noticed that she was breathing. She was still alive. This quickly snapped him out of his trance and he finally spoke.

"She's alive."

"It would seem so," was Aces response.

"What do you think we should do?"

"I'm not sure. We've never come across something quite like this before."

"Do…you think we should bring her back to M78?"

Ace starred at Taro for a moment, then began to think whether that would be a good idea or not. After, giving it a few moments of thought, he said to Taro, "We'll take her with us as a temporary prisoner. Maybe we can at least find out why she was so determined to destroy us and learn if there are any more of them as dangerous as this one." Taro, looked up at Ace, giving a nod in agreement, before gluing his eyes back to the female.

"Will you carry her, Taro, since my energy is already low?"

Taro hesitated a moment, but knowing that there was no other option, he carefully lifted the girl in his arms, bridal style. He felt his face go red when he noticed Ace giving a light smirk. Finally they were on their way back to the land of light, and everyone was bound to be surprised at the interesting cargo that they were returning with.
