The citron figure dashed away from the three 'alien' plants behind her. She ran as fast as her fruity legs could carry her. She didn't look back, or wanted to look back because it would most likely slow her from her run. She didn't want to be captured and be experimented like a primitive animalistic specimen, or be interrogated because she had no idea on how to speak or learn their language, she might say or do something that will cause conflict. Pulse was hoping spying on them wasn't one of those things. That's the last thing that she would like to happen. All she wanted to do was get away from them at the moment. She even began to fear that her just being here is more than enough to cause a conflict.

She looked around for something to hide in since her cloak wasn't working at the moment. She saw around her what are likely houses, not very big ones so they could be family dwellings. She wasn't entirely sure, but she couldn't go hide in one lest there is someone living inside.

"What happened to my cloaking?..." Pulse then thought back to the time she was attacked. That being, who looked very, very similar to her biology, that tiny sphere must have been a weapon that sent an electromagnetic pulse. Despite being spacefaring with an advanced suit, it seems it wasn't as invincible as she loved to believe.

She kept running from those extraterrestrials, but soon she set foot on very rough terrain, the ground clawing at her. She didn't worry since her suit protected her legs from the rough ground. She smiled and continued on with no negative effect on her.

There was suddenly loud yelling behind her. She didn't turn around, but she believed that it might have been a threat towards her. Pulse wanted to examine them further, the orange one looked just like her in shape, but definitely not in facial or DNA comparison if she ever get samples. The other two were like some other flora friends that she had back home.

Then the yelling got louder and angrier. If Pulse had to make a guess, it was most likely the tall yellow one that was doing it, mostly due to personal experience with one that she knew back in her home world.

'Gah! No matter, I just need to escape faster!' Pulse leapt and curled up into her ball form, she prefers being in her quadruped mode most, along with the swim and cloak mode the most. However Pulse felt it was now time to actually make a getaway, fast. She activated her hyper and sprung away from the three chasers.

...

Citron widened his eyes and he too rolled up to catch up to the unidentified plant as they rolled away. Agents Corn and Rose were left in the dust, much to their frustration. The unknown plant was quite skilled in dodging the trees and bushes in their way, but Citron was just as skilled, likely better as his target occasionally bumped into rocks and tree trunks. He knew this plant was desperately trying to get away.

"Hey you, why are you rolling away?! Stop so we can talk!" Citron exclaimed towards the other citron, they didn't stop and so continued rolling.

"Dammit don't ignore me! Stop this instant! I am an agent of the pla-" he stopped when he noticed the citron make a turn through some trees. He was about to turn as well to follow them but a missile came rushing to his direction. He jumped over, barely dodging it, and blew up the ground he was just on." What the hell!?"

When he landed he shifted back to his quadrupedal form and stared at the impact site. High pitched maniacal laughter came from behind Citron. Citron sighed, for now he knew who it was, having fought him so many times before. He turned towards the source of it, his gun glowing in anticipation for the upcoming fight. A z-mech came barreling through the trees, which broke and toppled them to the ground. The imp inside who drove it laughed again with such pitch it made Citron cringe.

"Well look who we have here." The zombie inside said cheerfully, a grin on his ugly face.

Citron sighed, "I don't have time for you, I have more important business than breaking your toy."

"What? So you're just gonna walk away like I'm nothing to challenge?" The imp sounded angry at those words.

"With all the countless times I took you down, yes, you are more of an annoyance than a threat these days." Citron had a smile start to decorate his face.

The imp made tiny adorable fists and slammed them on his mech's controls. "I will make you eat those words!" The mech raised its gun and began firing at its rival. Citron dodged the shots and fired an EMP at it. The robot however, punched the peach away before it detonated.

Citron sighed in annoyance, and went to battle the enemy.

...

'Did they give up?' Pulse asked in her head after she noticed the plants were no longer on her tail. She rolled for several more minutes to make sure they weren't still following her. Soon she stopped near a cliff to rest for a bit. She shifted out of her ball and sat down near a tree to take a break. She stared up at the sky and noticed that the moon was high in the sky, with its strange face looking down at her. She smiled as she turned to look at the stars in the sky.

'I wonder if I could identify my homework's star from here, probably not.' Pulse wondered, continuing to watch the night sky. It was then when she noticed something. One of the stars was flickering on and off. Her eyes widened and watched the 'star' float closer and land on her visor, a tiny glowing insect creature crawled around in front of her.

Pulse gently raised a leg, not wanting to scare it away. When her arm got close enough to it, it crawled on it slowly. Pulse slightly moved her s at an adequate distance, getting a good look at it. The tiny insect had a face similar to the orange alien that was chasing her down. The body shape was similar, except it was much rounder, had antennas, wings, large eyes, and it's organic light at the end of its body .

The tiny bug looked down on her metal body part in confusion, never in its small life had it encountered a being such as herself before.

Pulse smiled as it walked around on her, she admits, it's very cute. She had the urge to take it with her, it would make an adorable pet. However, she knew she shouldn't, it belongs here in its environment and planet, even though countless people do it, whether for companionship, profit, and so on, Pulse simply...couldn't. Most importantly, it could likely die if she took the tiny thing back to her home planet, so it's a no. So she continued to lay down and watch the star's for a bit.

The small firefly citron on her leg also laid down, resting on her cold metal appendage, but feeling comfortable with its giant new friend. Its light flickering softly as Pulse silently recorded and took pictures of it. She wondered if she should give the small creature some sort of nickname or numerical designation for being a new creature.

Other fireflies came out and floated around them, some perching on the surface of Pulse's suit in the moonlight.

I'm back!

Sorry for the delay, I got out of school... a while back actually... and now I have lots of free time to do anything, woooohooo!

P.s. I noticed that the settings in the older chapters didn't line up properly with the current settings of the later chapters so I made edits, if you want to re-read them or not is fine. I would also appreciate to be told of mistakes I may had made.

Question: Do you readers want me to give names for the chapters or not? Coming up with names for the chapters is not my strongest suit and I don't feel confident about the titles, but naming them gives individuality to them and makes it easier to find certain content without struggling to go through each chapter. Also, do you like the chapter names? PM me for your answers please.
