Arachnian Spaceship: Hell Forest: Planet RTX 4000: Pinwheel Galaxy
Shishiro Botan
Following the map that being given by Korone and Okayu, Botan finally reaching the storeroom. She took a deep breath before kicking the door open.
" Sir! About your spaceship extent warranty…" lioness heard from Towa that some people afraid of this word. So, she decided to use it as her attacking quote.
Botan scanning the room with her eyes, seeing Lamy in the glass cages at the center of the room.
" Lamy!" Without thinking. Botan's legs start moving toward her friend's location.
" Shishiron! Behind you!" Lamy yelling something and Botan only has time to turning her head back as black widow throwing her web at Botan's face, lioness dodging the
attack and swinging her spear like it was a sword, cutting gothic girl's body in half.
" Woah! That was easy." Lioness exclaimed as black widow's limping body is dropping on the floor, not moving at all.
She turns her attention back to Lamy inside the tank.
" Is this a magic absorbing shield? How can I get you out?"
" She is still alive!" Iced Elf yelled, making lioness winced, she turning back at black widow corpse, and seeing that it is being stuffed by many black spider that coming out of
its body. Those animals are as big as her hands.
All of them are shooting a sticky web at Botan, wrapping around her arms and legs and pulling lioness in to the air.
One of the spiders start wrapping its strings around lioness's neck before letting her falls down, hanging Botan with her own weight.
Lioness choke and trying to concentrate. She saw black widow start forming herself back into human form with spider webs.
Looks like the girl they met is just a doll. A nest for many spiders to live and act as one sentient being.
Botan wait for the creepy door to coming closer, until she is standing in front of Lamy's cage before throwing a spear in her freed arm, but black widow dodging it without
much of an afford.
The spear then piercing through the glass walls and almost touching Lamy's nose.
"Futile." Black widow laughed, seeing that Botan's face starting to change its color after being suffocated by the spider web around her neck.
" You know that I always admired you. A lion who being refused from her own pride, managed to survive by adapting to another society and forgetting your past.
And yet as soon you heard the new about your family will being slaughtered. You quickly come back as if they have given you nothing but love and kindness. May I ask why?"
Black widow started her villain monologue, since she has the situation under control after all. Why not enjoying it a little?
" Once become part of the pride. You are one of them forever!" Botan trying to cut the string around her neck with claws, but it is no used.
The spider web is too strong for her.
" So touching. And yet you are going to die for them. Does it make you feel valuable, get the love no one ever gives you?" Gothic girl asked, her voices genuine.
" F**k you!" Lioness spat at black widow cheek, the gothic girl wiped it without even looking.
" I am tired of playing. Let's end this." Spider girl snapped her fingers. And then Botan suddenly feels the sting of pain as one spider biting into her arm.
" Its poison will kill you in less than a minutes, but perhaps you can survived longer since your blood didn't running properly after your throat being wrapped by my string.
Who knows, maybe you can die from suffocating before my poison could work!" Black widow said cheerfully.
….
Yukihana Lamy
Lamy beating the glass walls nonstop, but there's no use. Her strength is not enough to breaking it, and the glass will absorb any kind of magic spells she has.
Unless there's a hole.
Wait a second! Lamy looking at the spear that piercing through the glass tanks and creates a hole from the outside.
She looks up and see Botan's face. Even in a state of dying, there's still a smile at the corner of lioness lips as she nodded at Lamy.
…
" Come on! Give up and die already!" Black widow said in frustration while she is looking at Botan's hanging body, ignoring the cranking sound behind her as she is still staring
at the dying lioness, who returned her with a slight smile.
" How about You first!" Botan chuckled, making spider girl even more angry.
" The hell do you mean?" She demanded, realizing that Botan is looking at something behind her. So, she turns her head back too.
Toward Yukihana Lamy who just finished chanting her magic spells.
"Absolute Zero!" Iced elf yelled, shooting her magic beam through the hole on her cage walls.
Sending a frozen waves that freezing black widow's entire body in molecules level, turning her into and ice statue in less than one second.
Parts of the beam also running in the air and destroy the strings around Botan's body, setting her free and falling on black widow's remain, shattering her into pieces.
…
" Botan? Are you okay?" Lamy yelled after breaking from the glass cage using Botan's spear, seeing that Botan start twitching by the poison even after Lamy has already
freezing her wound.
Black widow staring at all this happening on the ceiling, everybody seems to forget that the real black widow is the queen spider that can coming out of the doll as she
pleased. And she is already hiding in the ceiling for the whole time, controlling everything from afar.
There is no way to cure it, lioness will die for sure. After it is happening. Black widow will leave this planet, hiding into someone spaceship.
All of her scheme is not over yet, it is just being delayed.
But then Lamy saw something at the corner of the room, her face brightened as she is running toward it.
The item is the green booze bottle Lamy keep carrying around.
Black widow planning to sell it to someone who want elf technology.
Why did she need that thing? To share booze with her friends for the last time?
Lamy open the bottle and force feeding Botan, gorging the liquid inside her mouth.
After some time has passed, Botan is getting up again and choking, vomiting something on the floor, but pretty much alive.
What the hell? Black widow wonders.
" So, I am alive after all." Botan said at last, her voice raspy.
" In any circumstance. You would be as dead as a corpse by now. But luckily that I keep carrying universal medicine. ' Wamy water' around in the spare room of my bottle!
This thing can be trace back in elf early civilizations when they are learning Star people-" Lamy start blabbering, but Botan cut her off.
" No need for advertising. I am living with you guys too, remember?"
" … You are right." Lamy admitted, before helping Botan gets up.
" Let's get out of here! Looks like we are winning after all."
Black widow decides to run out of the room while holding a cry of frustration. She is not daring enough to try and fight two of them, not when all of her children have gone
like this.
It doesn't matter. Spider girl concluded, she will get out of this planet and raising new armies. All of these accursed animals will die, and she will feed their corpses toward her
new nest. The thought is so sweet that black widow could taste it now-
" Eww! I hate spider!" This the last thing black widow heard, before Tokoyami Towa will stomping on the spider that as big as child's hands by accident, crushing it like pizza
that falling over a children's plate.
Demon girl wiping her dirty shoes at the spaceship's wall without knowing the important thing she just done. And then turning toward Botan and Lamy who still hugging each
other.
" Ehh? Am I interrupted you guys!" Towa cleared her throat, making both of them flinched.
" Not at all." Botan smiled, holding Lamy hand in her's.
Nero then quickly followed. " Oh, so you guys are still alive. You must be Lamy! My sister talked a lot about you."
" Hi…" Lamy gingerly shaking hands with him.
" Come on, don't be so formal. We are already win after all! Let's go to my villages. We will show you our traditional liquors. Botan said that you like those kinds of things,
right?"
" Yesn't" Lamy wiping her mouth and trying to look as professional as possible.
…
Four of them then walking out of the spaceship with jolly mood. The war is tough, but they already win this one. And it is all that matters. The invaders are already gone and
their feast time is coming.
" …Oh! And then Towa is crying when I carrying her and start running-" " I am not crying!" Towa yelling to cut Botan off when she is telling a story from her point of view,
making everyone laughed.
Awaits of them, army of warriors from both herbivore and carnivore are gathering around, waiting for their return.
Nero took a deep breath before roaring.
" We win! People from the sky are running away!"
Every warrior whooping and cheering, forgetting the difference between their culture and species for moment as they are dancing around in celebration.
The Buffalo king also nodded at Nero and Botan as he is shouting alongside with other warriors. Everyone seem to be happy for a moment.
" I knows it is cultural thing and all. But can you guys killing each other again, after all that happened?" Towa asked the lion king who smiled.
" I don't knows. That will be a matter of future. Now we will have enough corpses to satisfy our hunger for a while."
" Yike!" Demon girl looks away, but Botan laughing.
" It is our culture. Nothing wasteful. Meat is meat, no matter what sources it is coming from. It is an honor for being eaten by other warriors, showing that our legacy will live
on." Lioness explained.
" Whatever." Towa looking at the city again, before sighed in relief.
" At least it is finally over-"
Her voice has been interrupted by the collapsing sound of the great palace in La lion city. All of them quickly looked up at the brown hair girl in brown cloak who is flying
above them, owl mask in her hands.
" You guys really think it will end like this? Nature win and people turning back into monkey. Wake up kids, the technology will come no matter how much you try to prevent
it."
Hooman waving her hands and the air suddenly filled with hundreds of spaceship that floating in silence around her, waiting for her command.
" Nuke the f**k out of-"
Hooman ordered suddenly stop as she starts coughing black liquid out of her mouth, and then her chest suddenly bursts as one twisting tree growing out of her body.
" Mumei, you forget to take your meds again." A human mouths that grows out of the tree branches instead of normal leaves spoke.
" How can you get inside my body!" Mumei yelled.
The plant chuckled. " What do you think wild berries coming from? Nature, of course. And everything that coming from nature is under my watch! Now get back to the council
meeting room. You are late again!"
" No, they love me! Can't you see? Our lifespans are longer and everyone is healthier! Our population is increasing nonstop and giving more labors to our economic system.
Everyone is working hard right now but all will be better in the future! Can't you see?
We shaped the reality as much as we want.
F**k the ecosystem and harmony! We are the one who ruled!
Everything is possible if you believe in us. We are better than those barbaric aliens who couldn't understand how our phone work.
And number of our dying are lower than every society in the past.
Those who died? Resources run out? Natural disasters?
There's no such a thing! It is a propaganda created by those conservatives, ignoring the news and trust me, bro?
Natives suffering? Extinction? Screw you guys! Only we are matters.
Because we are civilizations!-"
" Sorry for interrupting. We will leave now. Mumei! Apologize them!" The plant that growing from Mumei's chest commanded.
" No! They want me to kill them. Can't you see? There are always a necessary sacrifice-"
The tree then exploded, blowing Mumei along with it, sending a rain of black liquid and mechanical parts such as cog, gears and chain. All of them are falling from the sky like
a bizarre rain.
Every spaceship suddenly gone too, disappear within a blink of eyes.
" The f**k just happens?" Botan asked.
" The f**k should I knows?" Lamy answered.
" Hell yeah!"
Behind them, some people cheered and all of the tribesmen turning back to joyful mood again ( Except from those who being hit by a falling mechanic thingy.) Yelling and
celebrating over their triumph against the invader from the sky.
….
Milky Way Galaxy
Atlantean's Barracuda rocket ship
Tigre De Veur
Tigre looking at the three girls inside his glass tanks and grinned again, despite the news about destruction of those Arachnian. At least Atlantean still get something from the
doomed meeting.
Intelligent zombie, bird of paradise and living blade are something you don't see everyday, and those three seems to be friendly with each other enough, judging by how they
are cuddling around each other like a kittens. That's mean he can control them around the lab like a flock of sheep if necessary.
But that's the matter of future. He has to wait for Chloe decision first about what to do with those creatures. How about using their DNA to creating zombie shark that can
sing and using its fin as a sword? Sound cool.
While Tigre is still losing in his own fantasy. Something suddenly bumped into his spaceship, shaking everything inside and makes it crying an alarmed damages as his soldier
started running around to check the situation.
" What's happening?" Tiger shark man demanded.
" There is old fashioned spaceship crashing us! It is floating over there." His man reports, open the camera to shows a picture of flying saucer that staying still not too far
away.
" Prepare for ambushed. I will go and check on it." Tigre commanded, wearing sea cicada oxygen mask as he is speaking.
…
Airani Iofifeen
" Iofi! I told you not to drinks while piloting your spaceship."AyundaRisu yelled after they crashed into somebody spaceship by accident.
" But you are the one to suggested me to drink!" Iofifeen yelled back.
" That's when I thought your ship still has an autopilot mode! How am I supposed to know that you are too lazy to fixing it properly!" Risu argued.
" Let's face it. We crashed into someone spaceship and has no insurance to call for. Why don't we just hit and run?" Iofifeen start saying nasty thing by her panic.
" We are not some criminal! Let's apologize and hope they are kind enough to not demanding for compensation.
But if there are any, it's on you." Squirrel magician concluded.
…
After parking their spaceship on some lonely dwarf planet. Iofifeen and Risu holding themselves together and walking toward Atlantean spaceship.
They looked nervously at the big muscular man in Tiger shark hoodie.
He looks like someone who eat hit and run criminal as a breakfast. So, it might be best for them to not just running away after all.
" Why are you guys crashing into my ship? Do your people have any spacefaring licenses? Nobody used flying saucer since Galactic empire Era." Tiger shark man demanded.
Iofifeen and Risu suddenly coughed.
" I mean, we don't have much money and never piloting our spaceship this far before. Couldn't you let us go?" Iofi pleaded.
" That's mean no licenses. Listen here, Ms. My ship won't repair itself-" Tigre start lecturing, but a loud sound that coming from ship air duct make him stopped.
All of them looks up as something start rolling inside the air passages, toward the vent where Tigre is standing nearby.
With a 'POP!' Sound. An object suddenly bursting through the air vent and bouncing toward Iofifeen and Risu's feet.
It is a red hair woman head with a sword impales at the side of her skull.
" Hey! Ms. My name is-"
" It is the crawling head from ' The Thing(1982) !' All of us are SUS now unless we were doing a blood test!" Risu yelling as she starts hugging Iofifeen and closing her eyes.
" No! It is Jason's mother's head from ' Friday the 13th part 2 (1981)' we need to running away before dude in hockey mask will turning us all into a tartar steak!" Iofifeen
voices is high above ceiling as she is screaming and hugging her friend.
" Dude! Stop yelling and showing your boomer ages with those old movies name. I am just a talking zombie's head with sword stuck in my skull. Is that bothering you guys
so much?" Ollie shouting as she is bouncing toward them.
" …Sorry." Somehow, Iofifeen thought she needs to apologize this zombie.
" But the real problem is-" Ollie going to said something more, but Tigre pushing his shoe inside her mouth, stopping whatever she is going to said.
" Okay, I will let you guys go for once. Forget everything you saw here. Are we clear?" Tiger shark man asked, while his soldiers that surrounded them showing their guns for
two women to see.
" Okay." Risu said, dragging Iofifeen arm as they are walking toward the exit door, trying not to be thinking too much at what's happening.
" You guys won't understand! These guys are kidnapper, they are going to dissect us like a frog in scientists lab. Helps! Taskete! Membantu!" Ollie who gets her mouth free
somehow start yelling in multiple languages.
Iofiffen going to turns back, but Risu grabbing her neck, both woman staring at each other eyes and then nodded.
" Snowy Macadamia!" Risu yelling as she shoots multiple freezing nut at Atlantean's soldier, knocking them out in a few seconds.
" Magician? Great! I always wanted to fight magician!" Tigre roared as he is running toward Risu who throwing one nut at him.
" Such a thing couldn't hit me!" Tigre shouts, moving in the angle that will surely make the enemy's attacks missed.
Iofifeen drawing a picture of flying nut until it is as big as a minivan, letting it crash with Tigre's body and knocking him down in one strikes.
" The hell is this!" Tigre yelled, trying to get up but fails.
" Hazelnut, contain with high amounts of protein, dietary fiber, vitamin E, iron, thiamin, phosphorus, manganese, and magnesium, good for your health!" Risu waving one
normal sized nut at his face.
" No! I mean, how can it become this big?" Tigre yelled.
" Well, because you are looking at the last princess of the painter alien, Airani Iofifeen!" Risu pointing at the Iofi who waving her sketchbook around, showing it toward
Atlantean soldier who coming from other parts of the ship to aiding their master, all are pointing their gun at her and Risu.
" Wait, you are that Iofifeen!? The one who fight alongside with my former king Gawr Girass during the war against the council?" Tigre shouts, trying to get up.
" The same one." Risu said proudly.
" And you must be Ayunda Risu. The 'Nuts Magician' everyone keeps talking about?" Tigre couldn't hide his excitement at thise point.
" … That sounds like an insult, but yes I am." Risu muttered.
" No need to fight." Tigre ordered his guards to stay down before looking at two girls again.
" Can I take your signature? I am something of your guys fan for a long time."
" Can't be help, then." Iofi tip toed toward Tigre, but being yanked back by Risu.
" Don't believe everyone word that easily! And how can you explain about that poor girl?" Ayunda pointing at Ollie's head who still being carried by one Atlantean soldier.
" It's all misunderstood! I bought her with license from one uncivilized planet! All are under the rule of interstellar federation!" Tigre explained.
" But she seem to not thinking the same, though?" Risu said, pointing at the Ollie's head, who quickly nodded.
" There are other two people being captured here too! We used the chances when ship is damaged and sending me through the air vents." Zombie explained.
"Sorry for all this to happen. But it is not about me anymore!" Tigre said solemnly, before barking an order.
" Aim your weapons at those two! But try to hurt them as little as possible." Atlantean General yelling at his soldiers whom quickly pointing their fish gun at Risu and Iofifeen.
" Everybody stopped!" Risu suddenly yelled, making everyone in the room stunned.
" You guys know what 'Waifu' is?" Risu asked, making some Atlantean soldier gasped when hearing the words.
" 'Waifu' is the ancient charm spells that can controlling its target minds for 100%. But it should be a long-forgotten magic!" Tigre shouts in disbelief.
" Yes, but you are looking at the forgotten painter alien princess who can shaped reality with her pencils and skills!" Risu pointing at Iofi who flinched, but quickly nodded.
" No way!" " But…" " Is she going to turn us all into SIMP?"
" I still have family!" Atlantean soldiers around them start mumbling panicky.
" Don't believe me? I will tell you something I watch with my own eyes." Risu voices started getting deeper, as if she is some old leader of Russian mafia gangs.
" This girl, her alias is Yopi Dumpy." Risu then beating Iofi butt cheeks, proving how thick they are. Before getting slapped in the face by painter alien.
"I remember her in that bar, drawing five 'Waifu' with pencils.
No, this fokka drawing fives ' Waifu' with one Fokken pencil!" Magician snarled, clutching her injured face.
"Five!" Atlantean soldier around them screamed and hugging each other.
" Risu, I think that's different kind of Waifu!" Iofi whispered, but her friend winked at her to stop talking.
" She the paints that covers her jeans? It is the proven that she keeps drawing nonstop until her whole body is being covered by colors.
Even magician spells couldn't clean her body properly.
Yopi Dumpy is a girl with commitment, focus and sheer fokken will!" Squirrel ending her rants with a roared, making every Atlantean bounces back.
" Wait, isn't these colors just splash on my leg when our ship clashed?" Iofifeen whispered at her friend's ear, but Risu waving her aside.
" Shut up, Iofi. Their sh*t are running back through their brain right now. We will send them scattered away in a few seconds!" Risu whispered back.
Magician then turning toward Atlantean soldiers raising both of her arms as if she was going to scares a group of children.
" Look into her eyes, watch them closely. This is not the face of mere painter alien who can drawing and shaped the reality, but the one whose you send to draw a fokken
painter alien."
Risu then opens her mouth and blasting multiple pistachios nuts from her body, make them exploded into many kinds of wind magic that creates a terrible sound to echoing
inside the room. While Iofifeen waving her sketchbook and pencil in full circles, trying to look intimidating as much as possible.
" I am too old for this sh*t!" One Atlantean soldier dropped his gun and running away, the rest quickly followed, scattering away within a few seconds.
And then, the room is empty except for Ollie's head that Risu demanded for them to leaving her here, and Tigre who still unable to getting up from hazelnut that crushing on
his body.
Both alien and squirrel girl then turning their head toward the defeated Atlantean. " Tell me where your prisoners are or Iofi will smashed your skull with her dump truck!"
Risu ordered.
Tigre struggling for a moment and then given up when seeing that two girls are serious.
" At the ship's left wing. Cargo with the stone fish sight on the door."
…
Not wasting their time. Iofifeen and Risu quickly followed the route and opened the door with the same sight Tigre was talking about.
Iofifeen then quickly opened the one-way mirror tanks by drawing a picture of human- sized hole on its wall, letting everybody inside to be freed.
" Guys! I am back!" Ollie yelled when there's no one coming out. But there's still no signed from those two inside.
" Weird." Zombie muttered, as Iofifeen carrying her and walking inside the tank.
Hundreds kinds of swords suddenly flying out of the door. There are Chinese dao, European Zweihänder , Middle East Kilij, Japanese tsurugi, Southeast Asian krabi- krabong
and even Eskimo elu knife flying straight into their face.
"" Sh*t!" Ollie and Iofifeen swore at the same time, but painter alien quickly drawing on her sketchbook and making every sword dropping on the ground with a swift
movement from her brush and pencil.
Silver hair woman then flying out of the hole with her wings ( Unlike Takane Lui, Pavolia Reine and her people who live in natural state has developed wings from their body
and can flying without the use of mechanical wings and such.) and blasting at them with sonic wave from her mouth, but Risu chanting a spells and creating a wall of walnuts
to blocked the attacks in the last minutes.
" Guys, calm down! These girls are here to help!" Ollie shouting before none of them could brawling at each other more.
" …Sorry, I am a bit panic." Anya Melfissa apologized as she slowly walking out of the tank, dragging Kureiji Ollie's headless body with her.
It seemingly that. After sometimes has passed without Ollie coming back from her 'call for help' Reine and Anya are in the panic state and attacks as soon as someone
walking inside the room without proper look.
Ollie attached her head with body like a bottle cap and gestures at Iofifeen and Risu. " These two are good guys. They are here to get us out!"
" Are you sure?" Reine said doubtfully, it is still long time before she could actually believe in someone again, her whole clan has been killed by those who 'come to help' after all.
" It's okay if you not trust us. We are stranger after all. You guys are Anya and Reine, right?" Iofi offers her hands, Reine and Anya hesitated for a moment, before gingerly
shaking hands with her.
" Don't worry too much, my friend is terrible liars. You can see it coming for miles." Risu snorted when seeing that bird woman and living blade are still not completely trust
them yet.
…
" Which planet you guys are coming from? We will escort you there." She changed the subject after five of them quickly get out of Atlantean spaceship and sit comfortably
inside Iofifeen's flying saucer again, ready to take off.
Ollie shook her head. " Please don't sends me back there. My people will gut me alive if they saw me again. They keep doing this for many years after all."
Reine stare at them blankly. " I don't know anything more than a forests and mountains around my village, but there's no point going back there since everyone is already
dead." Bird woman fell in silence again while Iofifeen and Risu uncomfortably looked at each other eyes.
Anya staring at their eyes for a long time before answering. " I have no home, just sends me somewhere that I don't have to kills anyone anymore."
" So, you guys either don't want to go home or don't know where it is?" Iofifeen scratch her head as she starts piloting her flying saucer toward the dark space.
" We are not keep in touch with spacefaring society anymore. But I think we can find a planet that suits your liking." Risu concluded.
" We are living in the planet called earth by its inhabitants. It has a vast area and many kinds of terrain. You guys might find that planet suitable for your liking." Iofifeen
added.
" But I recommend the area called Indonesia, see?" Risu opens the world map and guide books Iofifeen has stores in her flying saucer.
" A lot of islands that can make sea travel possible in case you don't like it. Tropical forests like the planet you used to come from." Magician pointing at the picture of Java,
Sumatra and Borneo islands while looking at Reine's eyes.
" Okay, lot of them are being cut down by human, but like everything else, forest couldn't last forever. At least you would have some time to adapt to life on this planet.
Or moving to the New Guinea instead, not too far away." Risu elaborated and pointing at another big island when seeing doubts on Reine's face.
" Zombie are popular lately. So, as long as your body didn't rotten by the heat from that planet. Everything should be fine, though if you don't like that place.
I recommend the country name Haiti, there are a lot of rumor about zombies over there. So, you might become a superstar on that island." Iofifeen explained at Ollie,
who nodded.
" Don't worry, though my body is a bit smelly. It is actually filled with high quality embalming drugs. I could live like this forever!
About the area where I should live, I am preferred living closer with you guys instead. That Indonesia something sound funny too! I haven't swimming for a while." Ollie said
enthusiastically.
Iofi and Risu then turning their attention toward Anya, who is still sitting in silence and listening their conversation.
" What about you?" Magician asked.
" That land you described awfully familiar. Is that a place where the people created me? To kills and absorb enemy's soul with my blade in a ritualistic way.
I don't want to do any of that again." Anya said flatly.
" Oh right, she used to be forged in keris shaped by people not long ago. It might be the same place you guys are talking about." Ollie recalled Anya story.
Iofifeen and Risu muttering among themselves for a moment before turning back to the living blade again.
" Don't worry. That part of history has been like thousands of years ago. Everything has been changed right now. But if you actually don't want to go back to that place.
There're still plenty of lands left for you to settle. Australia, Hong Kong, or Germany. We will choose the place you like most!" Risu reassured.
" You said that it was in the past for people to using me as a killing weapon. Then what will be waiting for me there right now?
Do I need to use my power to kill anybody again?" Anya questioned.
" No, era of killing are already gone, sort of. Everyone would be appreciated if you use your power to help them instead." Iofifeen answered.
A slight smile appeared on Anya's lips, making her look younger and more energetic, like how she is supposed to be.
" Let's go, then."
…
In her tiny office.
Shishiro Botan
Shifting some of butterflies species files toward the 'extinct' folders. Botan yawn and take off her glass, blinking to make sure that her eyes are not too dry.
Lioness look at the ceiling again and sighed, the boring company life is back and there are no ways she could running from it anymore.
You choose this, remember?
Memory of the time when the battle finally over and her friend, along with her tribe and homeland finally empty from invader rush back into Botan's minds again.
…
" Are you sure you guys don't want to work with us? Your profile aren't that bad." Towa asked, pointing toward the dragon spaceship that parking at the edge of the city.
The ship's door open and showing Coco and Kanata who waves at them.
Botan chuckled. " Trust me, I want to. But this planet or any other underdeveloped planets in general still far from being safe. There will always be those who want to steal
the land and killing natives over the resources. Without proper maintenance, everything we did here will go to zero as soon as someone with power decides that we are
worthy for their invasion."
" What is your goal, though?" Demon girl questioned.
" Working with ' Pol Pol Circus' we will send ambassador from our natives planets to talking with interstellar planet preservation unit. Perhaps they will grant us with the status
conservation area or something. Polka has connections with them.
Maybe in the future we will go to others planet too. To see what they want to talk with our interstellar groups, though it is best to leave them alone." Lioness answered.
" I see… Good luck then." After paying Botan and Lamy for their services, Towa then walking towards Coco's ship, leaving this planet in a few minutes afterwards.
As Botan watching their spaceship leaving. Nero who standing beside her offered something to his sister.
It is lion mask that have a white flower mark on it. Their mother's hunting mask.
" It is belong to you, sis. Sorry for snatching it from you." Nero said.
" You are right for doing that, I already leaving this planet for too long. You should keep it for someone else." Botan declined.
Her brother shook his head. " You're always part of our pride, sis. No matter what you did or wherever you go. The bonds are deeper than that."
Nero gently put the mask into Botan's hand. And then, both lion standing in silence for a moment, recalling the memory of their beloved mother.
" Thanks, bro!" Botan smiled.
" No problem, sis." Her big brother chuckled and the day suddenly brighter somehow as two lions start laughing together like a child they used to be.
…
" Thinking of something?" Lamy hugging Botan from behind and resting her chin on lioness's shoulder, making lioness snapped back to reality again.
" Just resting my eyes, finishing your works?" Botan beaming at her BFFL.
" Not even half of it!" Iced elf snorted, making both of them chuckled while imagining Polka raging face.
" Anyways, I will go out and get some fresh air. Need anything?" Lioness asked.
" Some of that banana-like fruit for our dinner. We still have fish in the refrigerator." Lamy ordered, making Botan moaned.
" Fish again? It was already half a month when those things migrated from the ocean!" Lioness protested.
Iced elf shrugged. "There're some of them left. Who's faults for catching too many of them during the fishing season?"
" Okay. Okay. My fault. We will eat some of them tonight, satisfied?" Botan pleaded.
Lamy is going to said something, but the shouts from the windows make both of them flinched.
" Sis! There are some alien poachers coming at the west side of the forests. Buffaloes army already guarding the entrance from their sides. Let's go and put those bastards
inside our jails!"
Nero who recently become an official governor of hell forests area (Given power by interstellar conservation community) shout at his sister to come out of the treehouse and
