Yes, I know it's been forever, but my only excuse is to say I'm sorry. So I'm sorry. Here it goes.

Chapter 9

Patter patter. The rain started to fall down, and Samus and I took cover in the car.

"We should leave them there and let them rot!" Samus said angrily, and I agreed.

"We should get going and let these dorks find a way home on their own!" I said. I then proceeded to try to start the. Nothing happened. I looked down at the gas tank. Empty.

"S---" I whispered "Why those little…" Suddenly, something slammed into the car. Something small but heavy.

"What the!" Samus said, but just after that, a rock came sailing through the window and smacked me in the ear. Hard.

"Owwww…" I muttered before passing out.

Samus POV

I watched as the rock sailed through the and hit James in the ear and he passed out. I did the first thing that came to mind. I grabbed my pistol out of my leg pocket and fired right back. There was silence for a moment before there were a couple of "Oooo's" and "Awwww's". I took this chance to peek out the window. Outside were a couple of…giants. They were big and buff enough to be muscle working adults, but I could tell by their facial expressions and whispering that they couldn't possibly be adults. Just then, James started to groan.

"Oww…" He said, trying to get up. I immediately gently pushed him down.

"Not a good time.." I said firmly. I turned around and look around. Every single one of the teens(I had to assume) were in a circle around the car.

"Lets get em" One voice, probably the leader ,said. Suddenly, everyone charged back at us. They immediately stopped as soon as James got out of the car. I tried to stop him, but to no avail.

"Go away!" He yelled at them, and they ran away, screaming "THE MUTANTS BACK!". James slowly turned back to me and got in the car.

"What was that about? You could have been killed! And what was that about you being a mutant? And why are those boys so BIG!" I said in a rush. James looked at me before sighing.

"It's a LOOONNNNNGGGG story…" He said.

James POV

"It's a LOOOOONNNNNGGG" story." I said. I sighed before continuing.

"On Kritos, when you are born, you are given a genetic implant. This increases your size and muscle tissue. It also allows that muscle to grow continuously. That's why these guys are so big. Also, the few scientists we have say it SHOULD increase speed, but it never does. It actually makes them slower. Anyways, from all these genetic implants, that's why this realm is never taken over. Now you might think that because their so strong, why don't they take over other realms? That's because they have no technology. All their research is put into the implants. They couldn't make a vehicle, much less DRIVE one. My story was entirely different. I was born here and given the implants. But that just sparked the dragon inside of me. Each area that the needle went into, it turned to a dragon area. At first, I could only have full dragon or no dragon, but I soon mastered how to have half and half, and then finally mastered it wherever I wanted. For example, while on the run from the MP's(I'll explain that later) I could have wings, a dragon head, one claw, and the rest would be human so I could have a some gun or a large sword in the human hand. By the way, it turned out that I got nothing but pain from those implants… I guess I did get dragon form, which is fun AND cool."

"Now I have to explain the MP. No, it doesn't stand for military police here, it stands for mutant police. It's the biggest, toughest, most annoying people around that come together to catch rouge children and me. For the short times I was in their cells for detention, they told me that I was the hardest person to catch. Why was I in the cell? Because of what I am. The government feared that I would be a danger, and sent them out to catch me. Each time they caught me, I broke out. The day I got the letter to go to Brawl, I was sitting in one of the cells. Knowing that my guard knew about it, I showed it to him. I remember the look on his face when he said "Go." and opened the door. That's when I decided to go to Brawl." I said, finally finishing my speech.

"That WAS a long story, I have to admit. But it was good." Samus said, smiling. I sighed, then looked out the window. It was nearly midnight from the looks of the sky.

"You can have to back for sleeping. As long as I sleep in my dragon form, nobody will come back." I said. Samus nodded before going to the back, grabbing some blankets, tossed one to me, then she lied down and fell asleep. I switched to my dragon form, then tried to fall asleep. A tapping at the window woke me up and I turned to see Peach standing there, trying to get in. I just grinned at her before making sure everything was locked and then I fell asleep…
