After leaving a note with our families and getting some stuff from Lydia's house, locking it as well, we head to Lydia's home town Perfection. I can't wait to see the creatures or 'wildlife' as I've been told to call them. We passed a town called Bigsby, but while we were there Lydia picked up a blond woman. It didn't take long to get from Bigsby to Perfection. Three men tackle hug Lydia yelling her name. She laughs pushing them off
"Guys, meet my brothers Grady, Jack, and Tyler." Lydia introduces us
"Hi, I'm Miko." I say
"I'm Jack." Jack laughs making Perfection native Jack laugh
"And I'm Raf." Raf says
"Hey everybody." Grady says grinning. Two men walk out of a store and stare at us
"Lydia, who are they?" the younger looking man says
"Friends Dad." Lydia sighs
"Is he a government agent?" Lydia's dad was looking at Agent Fowler
"You must be Burt Gummer." Agent Fowler says "I'm Agent William Fowler."
"They just want to see the 'kids'." Our Perfectionite friend says
"Our kids?" Grady asks
"As in George, El Blanco, Savanna, and Samantha?" Perfectionite Jack asks and Lydia nods
"I should introduce myself. I'm Earl, Lydia's uncle." Earl says
"You're her dad's brother?" I ask
"No, I'm a friend of the family like Val and…and Miguel." At the name Miguel every Perfectionite falls silent and Lydia pulls out a rosary holding it tight in her hand
"Bad time to ask who Miguel is?" I question
"He's my uncle. Was my uncle." Lydia says
"Why was?"
"The very first ass-blaster we met killed him. I'm wearing his rosary."
"He wanted her to have it if anything happened to him." Mr. Gummer says
"Well, anyway, welcome to Perfection! You guys need to get your wrist seismos." Tyler says changing the subject. We nod and follow them into the store. A woman tosses them some watches and they put them on our wrists.
"They will tell you when a graboid is near." Mr. Gummer explains
"Or El Blanco." Grady adds. As proof the walls start shaking and all the Perfectionites turn everything off and grab different things. The whole building starts to shake and something bursts out of the ground outside. We run outside and see Bulk and Bee aiming at a giant white worm
"Don't shoot! That's El Blanco!" Lydia and Grady yell. The bots put down their weapons and the worm falls onto the ground. Lydia and Grady pet it's….head?
"C'mon Miko, you can pet him." Lydia says. I step forward and crouch down next to her. I gently pet his head and El Blanco makes a groaning sound turning towards me making me jump
"He won't hurt ya. He'll actually let you sit on his back if he trusts you enough." Perfection Jack says kneeling next to me "He only did that 'cause that's where he likes to be petted."
"Cool. His skin is rough." I comment. Suddenly Jack, Raf, and Agent Fowler gasp making us look at them and see a tiny version of El Blanco was in Tyler's arms
"This here is a grablite, more commonly known as a Dirt Dragon or a Shooter." He says showing us the grablite "His name is George."
"Aw!" I coo "Can I hold him?"
"Careful of his mouth and spikes." Tyler places him in my arms. I move an arm, careful of his mouth and spikes, and pet his head. He reacts the same as El Blanco, but the groaning sound was more like a higher pitched purr. Raf walks up and pets George's head as does Jack. Fowler watched us, so I decided to hand George to him. The grablite seemed to look at him and 'purred' at him
"Guess he likes you." Grady says smiling. The bots look at the grablite and the graboid in awe then another one walks up.
"Savanna!" Lydia laughs "She's a shrieker and one of my baby girls. Samantha is the other and she's an ass-blaster." A flying one lands as if on cue
"Awesome!" I yell making El Blanco and George 'look' at me "Sorry."
"No worries, but don't be loud. Quiet is safer." Perfection Jack says
