Sup people's. Here comes the next installment. And a bit of a life update, Im finally out of my hell hole of jackassery! (School) Fuck yeah!
Vlad: Do enjoy.
Psycho: And remembah! Pop on a comment, fav and a follow!
Suzana, Vasek and the rest of the group stared with surprised and confused expressions. Suzana's confusion being the worst as she stood up. "I'm sorry, WHAT! Just like that you stop and not kill that thing!? Just after it killed several people of this group!" She said incredulously. Both me and Agra's expressions turn to irritation and we both look at her. "Fucking really?" I asked rather irritated.
"Thanks for killing the moment bitchlett." The 'Thing' said to Suzana. I looked at Agra as Suzana began to get angry. She took the words right out of my mind. I thought enthused as Agra released my neck as i stood, I held a hand to her as she took hold and helped her up. "That's it, if you're not going to kill it. I WILL!" Suzana said as she went about finding the two pieces of her concealed weapon.
I looked at Agra with a somewhat neutral look with a small smirk. "You want to take this or shall i?" I asked her, she looked at me. "This'll take me a minute." Agra said as she began to walk up to the irritating woman. Said irritating woman shortly got the two pieces together and powered it up. But...after that she looked up and saw Agra moving up to her. Panicking she quickly took aim at the metal woman and began firing. Multiple resounding pings and ricochets sounded as Suzana continued to fire, fear growing as the bullets only annoyed Agra as she stood a mere four feet from (to Agra) the little woman.
After ten more rounds the gun began to click empty. With that Agra leaned over with hands on hips and had a raised brow look. "Are you done?" She asked unamused by Suzana by being a pain in the ass to her. And through panicked stupidity, Suzana pulled out a knife and swung at Agra's neck, with even less effect then the bullets. Agra grabbed her wrist and pulled the knife out of her hand. The song ended all of us not registering the silence of the music
Agra looked at the interesting looking knife, looking at all the details then made a almost sardonic though somewhat pleased smile, then brought it up to her mouth, as Suzana watched in fear. She bit down on the knife taking half off it. Terror showed in Suzana's eyes as she watch Agra chew on the metal that was her knife, then the Metal being smiled almost joyfully. "Mm! 1040 steel, my favorite! And...a little cobalt with a smidge of magnesium mm!" She said enjoying her little snack.
I looked at Agra surprised being able to tell of the metals used by what i assumed taste, even more surprised that those metals are still being used for making knifes. Which Agra ate the other half of the extending metal from the handle. Agra then looked at Vasek which he held up his hands defensively. "Her idea, all of it." Vasek said quickly.
"Really? Well, you seem nice so i'm not going to kill you off. Though-" Agra said then looked at Suzana. "Little shit here is going to be a different story." Suzana began backing away.
"Back off! Kill me and my whole sanction will hunt you down and kill you!" She said desperately in a vain attempt to intimidate Agra.
"If you're droids can't do anything to me, you're group of jackasses are going to be just as effective as a 9mm glock against a AR500 plate." Agra said with a sardonic smirk.
I swear Suzana was about to piss herself. But as Suzana tried to run for it, she only managing to get one step out before she was knocked out by a flick of Agra's metal middle finger against back the little womans head. Effectively knocking her out and face planting into the ground, just nearly dodging the pile of animal crap. Oh so close to recreating that scene from the kid friendly tarzan movie.
I chuckled at the display. "You got knocked the FUCK OUT man!" Psycho said referencing that one meme with a laugh. I had a silent chuckling grin for a few moments. Agra then looked at me with a friendly smirk. "Well this was fun."
"We'll call it that." I said to Agra looking at the unconscious woman. "Do you think i gave her a concussion?" Agra asked actual curious hopefulness in an undertone.
"I hope so, if not most likely."
"Dude, that's cold." Vasek said getting up from his cover. "Yeah, but she was a bitch." I retorted.
"Oh completely." Vasek said agreeing looking at Suzana with a smirk.
"Wait! Do you hear that?" Yvon asked suddenly.
Most of us looked at the dark haired man with confusion. "What?" Someone asked.
"Exactly!" Yvon said happily as he throw his hands into the air. It took everyone a few moments for it to down on them as i grinned with a silent chuckle. "I don't hear any bitchiness! Whooo!"
After that, Agra kind of became the safari guide of the area, which was interesting with my music playing kind of as background noise at this point. From what she told me she's been here for a while. "This way people!" Agra hollered at the group following behind, i was back on my seat on the mule talking to Agra. "So as i was saying, the thing rolled at me again. But i got tired of it's shit and decided to sparta kick it, and Oh it went flying! Right into the rock face!" Agra said humorously as i chuckled.
"It then charged at me again, so i decided to say fuck it, flash cannon. Actually left a good sized hole in it's chest. And oh did it taste good afterwards." Agra finished reminiscing the flavor of the creature she talked about.
"Yeah those are called Vengalin, One of the bitchiest of the creatures on this planet from what i've read and heard, and tough sons a bitches too." I added.
"Right on both parts, and they need to add delicious. I'd have to get you some of the meat to cook. I'd love to taste your end result on cooking it." Agra said cheerfully.
"I might go up on that offer. But the problem is if they'll let me cook it on the station." I said starting on how to go about cooking the meat.
"Station?"
"Yeah, that's how i got here because i was on that station. There's no gravity on it which may surprise you. Granted it makes a lot of things easier, and a lot harder for other things." I continued.
"That is kinda surprising, that'll making cooking difficult."
"Yeah."
We were silent after that for a while, just enjoying eachothers company. I still can't get over that she's real. ...god...i...i just can't think of anything for this… I thought unable to come up with anything still dealing with my residual surprise.
After a long day going to one area to another for the scientists, making sure nothing pops in and tries to kill us. The only two being truly effective being me and Agra for rather obvious reasons. After those long hours, night began to descend. "Alright, this area should be good for camp for the night." Agra said to the group. The scientists and soldiers began to work on getting tents up. Then i realized something. "Where are you sleeping?" I asked Agra, she was looking at one of the trees when i asked. "I think one of these trees should do, though. I don't think you're going to be able to sleep in them." Agra said looking my way, with a small frown. It took me a few seconds to figure what she meant.
"That would be difficult." I said as i hopped off and walked to the tree she was looking at, looking how the branches lined up. Then i saw something interesting. The fuck…? Is that a hammock made of moss? I questioned as i began climbing the tree, normally not ever doing so. Agra then came to the tree wondering why i began climbing up the tree. My suspicion was confirmed as i got next to it, it was actually conveniently wide enough and long enough for both me and Agra. My god the conveniency. I thought actually surprised. Now the question is, is it strong enough to hold both of us? I inquired. Then looked down to Agra. "Hey Agra, come up a sec."
She gripped a branch, then began to deftly climb up like she did a thousands times before. Impressive. I thought as Agra quickly made her way up to me. Agra saw the moss hammock and smiled. "Oh cool! Moss bed. Looks like it should hold the both of us." Agra said sure of the strength of the hanging moss. The Iron maiden went up to the moss bed and rolled onto it, stopping at it's center as expanded. "Oh i love these." Agra breathed as she smiled, she looked at me with that same smile. "Come on!" She asked playfully as she motioned me to her. You're fault if we fall through. I thought as i sighed through my nostrils. I hefted myself over the branch, then slid down to her side. Agra then looked at me with a smile with a kind of odd look. "Alright, come on." I looked at her confused. "What?" I asked rather confused at the meaning of the request. "Armor."
I then realized. "What if some sort of parasite drops down and decides to drink my blood in the night causing me to catch some sort of alien disease?" I rebuttaled.
"William, nothing's going to try and eat you or try to drink your blood. Things like that stay away when i'm around. I promise." Agra said trying to comfort me. It worked a small margin. But my paranoia still had a hold of the what if factor, since i haven't gone through and really searched of the small creatures that go about the natures of something like a leech or the likes.
"Are you entirely sure?" I inquired. She smiled comfortingly.
"Completely." Agra said reassuringly. As reluctant as i was...i decided to concede to her word. Vlad? I mentally asked the voice. "Will do." He answered as the armor retracted.
"There we go." Agra said as i laid beside her. "Now it'll be more comfortable for the both of us." She said, which confused me. She then pulled me over to her chest as i made protests of what she was doing. Those same protests died off quickly as i found my head laying on her bosom, as i laid there my chin between them as i was wide eyed, looking at her face. The first portion of my thought process was going "Holy shit!" The other stunned into submission of what just transpired and the other enjoying this ever so greatly, while enjoying the incredible feeling of the new "pillows". And the final one interested that even though her body is metal, she felt soft to the touch. These processes split off to other things as i looked at her with a stunned expression as she held me there in a loose hug. Uuummm...dafuq just happened?!
Agra chuckled at my expression. I realized this is what she meant as i was in very pleasent surprise. "Made you speechless, huh?"
"...A little…" I said my voice a little muffled. Oh my god there softer then the pillow i used to hold at night! And gloriously warm… I thought as my mind trailed off, my usually rampant thoughts slowed to a crawl. I moved my arms to a more comfortable position making it as though i was going to hug her. She carefully took off my glasses with a warm smile. With me being nearsighted, it was now more difficult for me to see her facial expressions as i felt her arms over the small of my back.
"Could you put up that calming sleep music?" Agra asked with a tone of longing, since she wasn't able to for so long. I brought up my omnitool's low brightness screen, quickly bringing up the playlist. Agra smiled ever so warmly now as best as i could tell, while i pulled my hood on. "Thank you...goodnight Will." Agra said sincerely as the sound of a calming flute and piano duet played there tones in a harmonious fashion, lulling us to the realm of sleep. I finally break an assholes little spy drones, military bitchlett comes by next day doing the voluntold bullshit, then go planetside that same day. Then i find my thought up love life...and now i'm cuddled on top of her, using her wonderfully sized ball bearings as my headrest. This...is an interesting turn of events.
"And we love every fucking second of it." Psycho said his tone portraying his thought about this.
"Oh entirely."
And maliciously I thought in absolute agreement as sleep edged my mind. "That's one thing off the man list." Psycho said.
Yep...many more to go. I thought as i surrendered to the allure of sleep. With that night, i slept better then i could remember and with a smile on my face.
Hours after the pleasant night, the light of day flooded over the terrain bathing it in a glow that was easy upon the eyes of the residents in the camp. One of the first to be roused from his sleep was the resident cook of the research party. He sat up from his caut in his resident tent, rubbing his groggy eyes. Then shook his head, his red hair with black highlights fluffing out from his bedhead.
"Whelp...time to help get rid of that blasted mre taste." Cormac Glothatch said, his voice with a scottish drawl as he ran a hand through his short beard of just the red coloring of his hair. He got up and went about getting dressed and go cook. He wasn't sure of the odd creature girl though. If he should give her what everyone else is going to eat or do something different. Oddly enough, he didn't mind the odd woman. Sure she was a different species and all, but she didn't seem horrible.
Cormac contemplated this as he walked out to prep his stove for the large meals he's going to have to cook. He looked at his digitool as he called it, checking what time it was. "...8:30 am?" He looked at the light of the rising sun over from the south. "That can't be right…" Cormac said as he fiddled with the time, having it update. To his surprise it was that late into the morning for him, the light level easily looking like a week before the transition point from summer light levels to fall.
I laid there an hour later with a sleepful smile of mirth. My eyes still held to darkness thanks to my hood as i blissfully slept on the best pillows in existence. I snuggled a bit closer to said pillows, my smile unending. Agra however, woke up several minutes ago. Watching the sun rise from it's own plain of slumber. She looked down at my sleeping form with a heartfelt smile, she finally slept wonderfully after being on this world for so long. Happy to be reunited, and hear music again.
It still surprised her that the type of music i listen too, then sees and hears me listening to something so calming and so contrast. She affectionately tightened her embrace, as she let out a breath, looking through the canopy and the sky above.
She then smelt wafts of food coming from below. Her stomach then began making itself known of feeding time. Agra looked down at her man's sleeping form, contemplating on how to wake him.
She then began nudging. She got a sleepy groan. "Soft and warm...no wanna be up…" Was my tired reply as i nestled my head slightly, in love with the softness and warmth. Agra then softly called my name in a sort of singsong tone. "William…" She then decided on a another little idea. "If you don't up, we might not get any food."
Damn it… I thought as i frowned, then heard Psycho's own displeasure, then raised my head to look at Agra. My face showing my displeasure. "As much as i would like too. I'm loving this too much." I said then began contemplating for a few moments as she looked at me. "Alright…" I said then tried figuring out how i was going to get off. Shit…
It took me a minute but i got to sitting on the right branch with a sigh. I looked at Agra who was on the opposite branch. She looked at me with a smile. "I'll see you down." She said as she began to make her way down the tree. I then looked to the bottom on my side. "Vlad?" I asked the voice.
The music stopped as the suit covered my body again. "Alrighty…" I began popping my arms from shoulder to fingers. "Let's do this shit." I said casually, then slid off going down the tree with almost with a certain finesse. Though with repeats of "Shits, oh god's" and multiple others.
I got down in the span of thirty seconds with a thud and a grunt. I stood a moment later, Agra was waiting a few feet away with a smirk. We then made our way to the food.
I saw a man with red hair and black highlights and a short beard that only took to the former color of the two when we walked up. How much do you two want to bet this is going to be one of those scottish cooks?
"Like those few in the sci movies that have to deal with shit like this? I'm betting in." Vlad said
"Ditto." Was Psychos short answer. As i walked, Agra took a glance at me, seeing me in my armor. She had a kind of displease sort of smirk. "Oh come on." I looked at her confused.
"What?" I replied not knowing what she was talking about.
"The armor. Come on Will, nothings going to jump you." Agra reassured.
"Seriously?" I questioned, some how feeling i wasn't going to win this argument.
"Yes seriously."
"Bloody fucking hell…" I breathed not liking this at all.
"Will, you'll be fine." Agra said trying to persuade me.
"Fuck it, fine." I finally said after several moments of silence. The suit retracting.
The man looked at us as we neared to one of the tables closest to the "kitchen". "Morning lad and lass. What might you want?" He asked with a questioning brow, since i believe he's expecting what we want to eat. Called it! I thought with a mental chuckle as there was surprisingly a decent selection going. Nice, rice-a-roni. Something akin to it… I began listing what foods i knew and saw ones i've never seen. I pointed out the ones a minute later, which he put on a plate. Handing it to me afterwards. He then looked at Agra. "Now you lass, ...i'm not sure how to feed you." The man said semi pointing his spatula at her.
Agra looked at the man with a raised brow look. Then the look subsided a moment later. "I can eat whatever you guys can eat." Agra said casually.
"She can actually." I affirmed.
"Good, that makes my life easier." The Scottish chef said, Agra then made her selections.
Well, his food looks decent. I thought as me and Agra walked over to a folded out table and sat down. We both ate the food actually not being half bad.
"This is actually better then some of what i've had to eat." Agra commented getting another mouthful of her food.
"I bet." I idly commented back, as i found i liked some of the other things i selected for my breakfast.
Not long after we were done as some of the others began to get up for food. A sudden question came up pertaining the life in the area. "I'm curious. Is there any natives you've seen?" I asked quite well wondering.
Agra thought for a few moments as she ate a few more bites. "What, as in like tribesmen and such?"
"Yeah, since this is a planet with obvious life, the thought of there being a kind of people living here is at a high possibility." I said my scientific side of me showing.
"That's if you count these fluffy bipedal-ish lizard things." Agra said unsure what to call the things she saw.
I gave her an odd look of question with a slight head tilt. She looked at me seeing my expression. "That was my reaction when i saw them." Agra said with a chuckle.
"Vell then."
"Yeah, one of them came up to me one time. I think it was girl? It was actually nice, helped me haul in some meat one time. I gave her some for helping me. Just before she left, she did this kind of nodding bow." Agra said remembering the time a few months ago. Well, this is interesting. They have a kind of honor system going with that kind of polite gesture.
"How long ago was that?" I inquired with a raised brow. I then began hearing murmurings from the others of the camp.
"Doesn't seem they are taking a liking of having our antro aggron here." Vlad said listening to the talking scientists and few soldiers that decided to come along.
"There just little bitches." Psycho said feeling like insulting the rest of the group.
Speaking of, where's bitchlett? I haven't seen her or heard her.
"Is that a bad thing?" Psycho questioned wondering if i was actually getting concerned from the asshole of a woman.
Not one god damn bit.
"About...two or so months ago...?" Agra said unsure. "It's difficult keeping track how many days it's been." She added, trying to think back how long it's been since she's been here.
"...How long have you been here?" I asked with a softened expression, somewhat hesitant on inquiring this question.
Agra raised a brow slightly, feeling the underlying somber tone to the question. She looked me before answering after several moments of pause. "Ten or so months…" She answered.
"Christ…" I said quietly with a dulled mood. I then heard someone walking over, I got a curious though somewhat irritated look. Granted i wasn't actually irritated. "Excuse me, if i may. Could i sit with the two of you?" I turned to the voice to see Yvon. I had a high raised brow of question as i looked at him. I looked at Agra to see if she wanted to let him or not. She looked at the scientist. "It's fine."
Yvon sat on the other side of the table placing his tray of food down. He looked at us with an attentive look of scientific curiosity. It was a minute of this before i spoke up. "What is it you want?" I asked, a little more annoyance slipped into my tone then i intended.
"I just...I...How are you such a thing?" Yvon asked looking and gesturing at Agra. This confused the Aggron morph. "I'm sorry? What are you trying to ask?"
"I'm asking, how such a being like you exists! How can a creature move with metal as it's skin!?" Yvon asked showing his confusion as to how Agra is able to even be here per say. This clicked in Agra's mind. "I'm from a different world entirely. Or what Will here would put it. 'A whole different bloody dimension!'" Agra said humorously at the end. "That is something i would say." I admitted with a very short and quiet chuckle.
"Yvon...have you ever heard of pokemon?" I asked kind of seriously. But with the blank look he gave me told me his answer. "You know? One of Nintendo's flagship games?" Agra gave me a look that i didn't notice as i spoke with the researcher
"I honestly have no clue what you're even speaking about…" Yvon said honestly.
"You're shitting me. Nothing, nothing at all?"
"I'm being honest here."
"Oh, bloody hell…" I groaned while taking off my glasses and pinching the bridge of my nose. Well this is just fucking wonderful...how the hell am i going to explain this shit...wait...i wonder if i can get an internet connection. I brought out my holo glove and brought up the browser function. Let there be a connection… I repeated several times as i typed in a search for pokemon. I gave a relieved look as the search results popped up. I then furrowed my brows. The fuck? I thought as i saw the weird results. Who the fuck is Terrapole studio? I thought looking at my screen with a confused glare. Dafuq is this!? I thought with more confused irritation.
Then a realization surfaced. After so i had a irritated look. Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME! Nintendo...the company that could survive several decades with there revenue! One of the main gaming companies, absorbed by a different company?! WHAT THE ACTUAL UNLADEN FUCK OF THE NAME OF THE NINE WHORES OF HELL!? I thought with shock and anger.
"Oh fuck no. Oh fucking hell no…" I finally said aloud glaring at the screen. My comment confused both Agra and Yvon as they looked at me. Agra leaned over looking at my screen, reading it. "What…?" Agra mouthed while reading the statement. She knew of nintendo from me and my two friends when she was in her dimension, well she claimed it as her's because of me.
"So...Nintendo's dead…?" Agra asked shocked and confused.
"By whatever fucked up corporate means…sadly yes…" I replied finding this very difficult to believe.
"Well shit." Agra thought aloud as she looked at the screen.
"Indeed…" I agreed becoming sombered upon this fact.
"Wait...couldn't you still check the images?" Psycho asked somewhat meekly.
"Yes. Check and see." Vlad second.
Alright. I thought as i did such. Surprisingly. There were images of the pokemon still. I doubt there doing any fan art anymore. I thought, thinking on how far into the future i was suspended into. I took solace upon knowing that the images still exist. I turned the screen to Yvon afterwards. "Well the pictures are still around." I said as i showed the european scientist. "Those are certainly odd creatures…" He commented as he looked at the pokemon displayed. Then he came across one that seemed familiar to the one sitting on the other side of the table from him. He looked at it with a somewhat confused look and pressed the image, enlarging the picture and showing some information. "You're...called an Aggron? This is intriguing. But you look so different then the image here…" Yvon commented looking from the picture to Agra and back. She smiled at the thought of the researchers surprise if he were to see her transition.
Agra looked at me with a look as if asking if she could show him. I shook my head holding up a hand and twirl said hand with an extended index finger referring to the rest of the camp, then doing a odd somewhat detestable face holding my hands like i was choking something with the shall shaking motion of said hands back and forth for a few moments. Agra nodded seeing that it would be a bad idea now. Granted she knew she could take all of them, none of there weapons could penetrate her hide.
"How can you be so different then these..."normal" Aggrons?" Yvon asked, still rather curious.
"It's a little thing i like to call Transitional Evolution." Agra mentioned with a somewhat proud smile.
I glanced at her with a raised brow. Really now? I thought seeing it as decent name for the process.
"Transitional Evolution…?" Yvon repeated with a somewhat confused look. "Do you care to show me this...Transitional Evolution of yours?" Yvon asked, letting his scientific curiosity get the better of him.
Agra leaned over the table, then she said in a hushed tone. "If i do it here, everyone would go batshit."
This took a moment for Yvon to soak in the information. "That would present a problem…"
"Yes...and i don't feel like dealing with that situation." I said somewhat dryly as Agra sat back down.
"Nor do i." Agra commented in agreement.
Then Yvon asked a question out of the blue. "Do you know any places that hold any interest?"
Agra looked at the "little" european scientist with a confused expression. "Of what kind?" Agra replied.
"Scientific, mainly." Yvon said in kind.
I looked at him with a sudden curious and skeptical raised brow. "Geological? Military positions? Colonizing areas? Mining spots?" I listed off in a questioning tone.
"Mainly geological, some of it deciphering what minerals are here. And plotting a potential colony." Yvon explained. As i thought this through for a few moments, the idea of a colony didn't seem that good of an idea...let alone some asshats idea of a tourist resort being a possibility. Grantedly i was thinking ahead on the matter, regardless to the fact, they were bad ideas nonetheless.
