Anna had set everyone down and gotten an old black board out of the attic. With the help of Zinsu she was able to get it set up, and when her grandparents woke up she started explaining.

"Alright so on that day when that meteor hit earth Zinsu and his previous host were in there. Zinsu here had to jump to a new host or else he wouldn't be able to define himself. And because I was in the area at the time he went for me." Anna explained as she started drawing down the events on the black board.

"Yeah and those goons back on earth were members of Cardinal 13. Me and my previous host Galiz were bounty hunters and we were planning on taking down the Cardinal 13. However it didn't go that way, someone we once thought was our friend was working for the Cardinal 13 and we lost the element of surprise. Galiz ended up getting killed and asked me to finish what we started, one thing led to another and the Cardinal 13 found me and now here we are." Zinsu explained.

The room fell silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop, Anna's friends and family were trying their best to take in all the information.

"Anna, I honestly don't know how to process this. I mean you have some freakish alien parasite in your body" Vincent said.

"Hey! First of all I'm not a parasite MR! So don't call me that! My species only form symbiotic relationships with the aliens we merge with!" Zinsu explained, making it clear about how offended he was.

"Sorry, but I just can't process this." Vincent explained.

"Same here! I don't know what to think about this!" Shelly exclaimed.

"Yeah and what in the world do we do now?! We can't just live on this strange planet forever! We still have people back on earth we care about Anna! So Zinsu, because you got us into this, what are we going to do?" Carol asked, making her anger towards Zinsu clear.

"Hey hey! It's gonna be alright! We wont stay here forever, me and Anna here are going to stop the Cardinal 13!" Zinsu explained.

"What?! Oh no! You're not dragging my granddaughter into such danger!" Anna's Grandfather protested.

"Well I kinda don't have a choice. After all I can't get Zinsu out as according to him we'll both die, and he does want to make Galiz's last words come true. Plus I feel like that if we don't do something about them then no one will. So we gotta do this! It's the only chance we got to save earth and our loved ones!" Anna explained.

"Everyone, I don't think we can stop them. And they might be right, we don't know who else will try and stop this Cardinal 13. Anna, Zinsu, I hope you two know what you're both doing and you two will be safe." Anna's grandma explained.

"Honey! Are you sure about that!" Anna's grandpa asked his wife.

"Yes we can't stop them so all we can do is wish them well." Anna's grandma replied to her husband.

"Agh! Fine, but I don't like it." Anna's grandfather groaned out.

"Alright, so let's go Anna, we need to meet up with an old friend who me and Galiz knew before. He can help us out with getting some armor and other supply that'll help us out." Zinsu explained.

"Wait, you're going out there?!" Carol asked.

"Yeah after all we need to go out there if we need to find him. Don't worry I have a photographic memory so I can remember where to go to find the house." Zinsu explained.

Before anyone else could say anything else, a knocking was heard on the door. Everyone looked at each other anxiously as they heard those knocks. Carol grabbed the fireplace poker and went up to the door to see who was there. She carefully made her way to the door and when she was close enough she ripped it open ready to beat whatever was on the other side to death.

However she saw that it wasn't the same alien who broke in and tried to attack her. It was two different aliens who flinched back in fear when they saw Carol was about to attack them.

"AHH! PLEASE DON'T KILL US WE'RE JUST DOING OUR JOB!" One of the aliens screamed.

The two aliens were both yellow with about one eye in their head. They were wearing what Carol assumed was real estate agent clothes and they were holding some clipboards.

"Um, who are you two? And what are you doing near my house?" Carol asked confused.

"Oh we're real estate agents, our boss sent us here after your house appeared. We just need you to sign some papers to register your house as being owned and you as the owner. After all, if this isn't signed and registered then it can be viewed as illegal and you have the risk of it being torn down." The other alien explained as he handed Carol the clipboard.

Carol looked down but didnt know what to sing as she couldn't read anything, it looked like gibberish to her.

"Hey Auntie are you alright?" Anna asked as she came into view of the doorway.

"Yeah what's going on I heard screams and voices." Zinsu said.

When the two aliens saw Zinsu they became frozen from star struck. "Holy crap! Zinsu your back! We thought you were dead!" One of the aliens exclaimed.

"Yeah! Wait, where's Galiz? Isn't he your host? Who's this girl?" The other alien asked, confused while pointing at Anna.

"Oh right, Galiz is unfortunately... dead, this is Anna and she's my new host." Zinsu explained.

"Oh... sorry to hear that, I know you two were close so I guess it's sad that he's gone now." The first alien said.

"Yeah, but I'm going to make their final words come true and take down the Cardinal 13." Zinsu declared.

"That's good to hear! Oh um we kinda need the owner of this house to sing this so it won't be viewed as illegal." The second alien explained.

"Um but I can't read anything, it looks like gibberish." Carol explained.

"Oh well I can read it for you." Zinsu said.

Carol accepted and Zinsu read the content to her, after a while the whole thing was filled out and the two aliens bid them a good bye.

"Alright with that taken care of, let's go." Zinsu said.

"Alright you two be safe, and Zinsu don't get Anna hurt!" Carol clearly stated threateningly.

Zinsu nodded and the two left the house to look for Zinsu's old friend. When Anna saw the city she was left in aw as the city was so colorful and huge. The city had a variety of buildings that had ads, billboards, and even some restaurants on them.

"Wow this is so cool!" Anna exclaimed at what she saw.

"Yeah it is, now you know why I love this place. Now come on let's go, Caz has gotta be around here somewhere, he can help!" Zinsu exclaimed.

"Caz, who's that?" Anna asked, confused.

"He's the guy who hooked Galiz up with their armor so he can give us some too! After that, we should find Plaz. He can hook us up with weapons and tech that should allow us to find our bounty." Zinsu explained.

"Alright, let's get to it then! I want to save ASAP! And I hope that everyone can adjust to what just happened." Anna explained worried about her loved ones.

"I'm sure they can, now let's get moving." Zinsu said and had Anna's body move to where he remembered Caz's store being.

Anna allowed Zinsu to take her to an area in the city where many stores were. He took them to a store that had a sign with an image of an alien wearing a suit. It also had some words but Anna couldn't read the language as it wasn't English.

"Alright we're here! Let's go in and see Caz, I hope he's doing alright, it has been a few weeks." Zinsu explained with a bit of worry present in his tone.

"Hey Zinsu, it's gonna be alright, you know this guy and he can hook us up with some armor that can help us out with this bounty hunting thing. While I never planned on being one, if it's our only chance to save earth and the human race, then let's go!" Anna exclaimed.

She then opened the shop's door and when she entered she was met with the barrel of a space gun she'd seen on TV to her face.

"WHO ARE YOU! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN OUR STORE!" A female voice screamed.

Anna looked behind the gun and saw an alien girl who was purple, had a large head with green hair, no nose, big elf-like ears, and two small eyes. She was wearing a red tank top and dark blue shorts, which Anna assumed was the employee uniform.

"Hey! Stef! Don't threaten the customer who just walked in unless they try stealing something or purposefully breaking the merchandise!" A male voice called out.

Stef and Anna looked to the back counter and saw another alien that looked similar to Stef. However he was older, obese, balding, had no legs and was using a hover chair to move around.

"Sorry dad, I'll go back to my station." Stef said then went back to her station in the shop.

"Hey Miss my deep apologies, my daughter has been on edge for the last year after a burglar killed her mother. That incident has caused her to threaten almost everyone who comes into the store as she doesn't want to lose me. Anyway, what are you here for?" The alien asked.

Zinsu then moved Anna's body up to the counter, popped out of her shirt, and set himself right on the counter.

"Hey Caz! It's me, Zinsu! How have you and Stef been?" Zinsu asked carefully, happy to see one of his friends again.

"Oh Zinsu! It's so nice to see you again! I thought you were dead, but wait where's Galiz?" Caz asked.

"Oh um there unfortunately... dead, I don't want to talk about how they died as I already did earlier." Zinsu explained sadly as he remembered his old friend.

"What! Oh god damn! I never thought she'd die like that. I'm sorry to hear that Zinsu, but hey you got a new host, and she looks great! So it's not all bad." Caz explained trying to cheer Zinsu up.

Zinsu smiled at that and felt a little better, but he still missed Galiz very much.

"Um hey can I ask something, but what's with everyone referring to Galiz with different pronouns? Zinsu uses They, some other aliens used he, and you used She. I'm getting really confused on what Galiz's pronouns are." Anna explained.

"Oh well Galiz never cared about pronouns, they said that anyone could use any pronouns for them. That's why whenever they are mentioned someone uses different pronouns for them." Zinsu explained.

"Alright thanks, now that I have that question answered I wanna ask another thing." Anna said.

"Yes and what's that little lady?" Caz asked.

"Me and Zinsu here are planning on taking down the Cardinal 13 and we need a bounty hunter suit to do so. Zinsu said you'd have one for us, so you think we can get one?" Anna asked.

"Well I would, but unless you have something to pay for then I can give it to you. After all, I'm not running a charity here so you're gonna have to pay if you want something from my store." Caz explained.

"Oh god! Zinsu, I thought you said he'd help us!" Anna exclaimed angrily.

"He is alright! We just gotta pay with something, listen I know you're wearing some jewelry right now, so just trade some of that. Something you don't have attachments to should do, he Caz here always finds something of use for things." Zinsu explained.

Anna sighed and started digging through her pockets for something to trade with. She soon found an old bracelet she had bought from a cheap store some time ago. The thing was old and Anna only bought it for a dollar. She hoped that it'd be enough to get that bounty suit.

"What do you think of this? I bought this for a dollar back on earth, I don't have any attachments to it so I hope it works." Anna explained as she sat the bracelet down on the counter.

Caz picked it up and examined it for a bit to see if he could use it for something. After examining it he saw that the fake jewels are just what he needed for a little something he was making.

"Hey, the strange things on this bracelet are just what I need for something I'm making. So yes this will work perfectly, consider it a trade! Just hop into that machine over there and you'll be suited up with a bounty suit." Caz explained.

"Really? I wont get hurt will I?" Anna asked, a bit worried.

"Na don't worry kid! You'll be fine, trust me! Now just go on in there and you'll be all suited up." Caz reassured Anna.

Anna looked at Zinsu and he nodded in reassurance, this helped her feel a little better so she decided to go for it. Anna walked up to the machine that Caz pointed at and saw that it was about two feet bigger than her. It was shaped like a cylinder and the door slid open when Anna got close to it. She stepped inside and when she did the door closed leaving Anna and Zinsu in total darkness.

That didn't last long as a light blue light lit up on the walls of the machine. Then on the top light blue lasers formed a square shape and scanned her from top to bottom. After it was done scanning Anna was then surrounded by a white light that blinded her for a moment.

After a moment Anna stepped out of the machine, now wearing a bounty suit. Parts of it were made of an unknown metal, to Anna at least, that shielded most parts of her body. While the suit under it was a dark blue like her uniform that was made out of a thick rubber mesh that also protected her body. The lower part of her armor flowed out like a skirt like the one Anna had on, but made of metal instead of cotton. Her shoes also had slight heels on them making Anna a little bit taller than before. On her head was a helmet made out of the same armor, it had a visor over her eyes allowing her to see, the visor was black keeping others from seeing her eyes. However Anna could see through the visor just fine, it was even showing Anna's vitals along with Zinsu. There was a circle shaped pod on her chest where Zinsu could come out of at any time he desired.

"Wow you look great in that kid! Like a true Bounty Hunter. Reminds me of when Galiz first came in here and asked me for a suit herself. Ah I remember that like it was yesterday, I hope you'll be just as great as her kid." Caz said.

"Um thanks, I hope so, after all I need to be if I want to get my home planet back." Anna explained.

Zinsu then came out of the pod on Anna's chest and stretched for a bit. After Stretching he said "Don't worry Anna I'll guide you through it all the way. Now let's go find Plaz at his place and get started."

"Wowow! UM Zinsu I got some bad news for you, but Um, Plaz kinda got evicted from his place while you were gone." Caz explained.

"What?! Well where is he then?!" Zinsu asked, surprised by the news.

"I think I last saw him sleeping on a bench in town square, so I'd check there." Caz explained.

"Alright thanks, come-on Anna lets go and find him!" Zinsu exclaimed.

He then took Anna's body to the town square hoping to find his friend alright. After a while the two arrived in town square and saw many different aliens wandering around the place. Zinsu took Anna to one of the benches and the two saw an Alien sleeping on it with an old torn blanket draped over them.

"Hey Plaz is that you?" Zinsu asked gently.

The alien got up and Anna saw that his sink was a green yellow mix, and he seemed to be missing one of his eyes. He seemed originally to have two big eyes but now he had one and had an eye patch on where his old eye was. He had only four fingers on his hands, and his legs were much smaller than a humans. His mouth was in between his eyes and his clothes were also pretty old and torn up.

"Zinsu? Is that you?" Plaz asked.

"Oh dear lord! Plaz it's really you! What happened to you man! How'd you get evicted?! You were doing just fine last time I saw you!" Zinsu exclaimed in shock as he saw the state of his old friend.

"Ah, let's just say that, my brother took all my money, kicked me out, and now I'm here old friend." Plaz explained.

"Aw man I'm sorry to hear that, if Galiz was here, they would have killed that prick for doing that." Zinsu stared angrily.

"Yeah he would, wait?! What do you mean would, why are you using past tense?! Isn't that him you merged with? Did Galiz get thinner and taller by any chance?" Plaz asked.

"Oh no, um this is Anna, she's a human from earth and she's my new host. Galiz is unfortunately dead." Zinsu explained.

"What!? No, he was like a real brother to me!" Plaz cried out sadly when he heard the unfortunate news.

When Anna saw how upset and devastated Plaz looked it reminded her of herself a bit. It made her remember what she was like when she lost her parents all those painful years ago. Her heart ached at the thought of it, and so she sat down next to Plaz and put her arm around his shoulder. Plaz looked at Anna when she did that and then without another word he hugged her. Anna didn't protest and just hugged him back as she felt like he could use it. Zinsu joined in on the hug as he understood what Plaz was going through as Galiz was a good friend to him and he missed them very much. A moment passed and Plaz was able to collect himself before letting go of Anna and Zinsu, who also let go of him.

"Alright, I'm okay now, thanks Kid I needed that." Plaz said.

"Hey anytime, I know how it feels to lose someone you care about. I lost my parents in an accident a few years back, so I know it hurts when you lose someone you love." Anna explained.

"Yeah, it hurts a lot, but anyway, Zinsu I'm not sure I can help. After all, I don't have a home anymore and I'm sleeping on a bench for crying out loud. I'm not in any position to help anyone out, I'm sorry old friend." Plaz explained sadly as he really wanted to help out Zinsu.

Zinsu hummed for a moment before an idea came to mind, but he knew he had to ask Anna first as he knew she would strangle him if he said anything without asking.

"Hey Anna can we talk privately for a sec?" Zinsu asked.

"Um... sure." Anna said then got up and walked away from Plaz.

"What is it Zinsu?" Anna asked curious about what he was going to say.

"Well what if we let Plaz move into your aunt's place? He's not that big and there's plenty of room in that house." Zinsu explained.

"Wowow! Are you sure about that? My aunt is the boss of the house and can be pretty scared. If the idea that she beated an alien to death with a fireplace poker wasn't a hint enough for you then I don't know what is." Anna explained.

"Well I'm sure once we explain things to her she'll understand. Plaz is our only chance of getting good bounties and fighting against the Cardinal 13 after all. And if I'm right we need that info to save earth and the entire human race!" Zinsu explained.

Anna thought about it for a moment, she did want to stop the Cardinal 13 from enslaving her race and get earth back. She also felt pretty bad for Plaz as he had nowhere to live and she always felt sad whenever she saw a homeless person.

"Alright he can move in, but we should tell him that he has to listen to my aunt's rules and boundaries. If he doesn't then I feel like it'll be more than just a fireplace poker that she'll be hitting him with." Anna explained with a touch of dread in her voice.

"Good enough for me, and don't worry Plaz is totally chill, I know he'll be cool with your aunt's rules." Zinsu explained.

"Alright let's go tell him then." Anna said.

The two then came back up to Plaz to ask him if he'd like to move into the house.

"Hey Plaz, me and Anna were talking and we'd like to ask you something." Zinsu said.

"Huh? What's that Z?" Plaz asked curiously.

"Well would you like to move into Anna's aunt Carol's house?" Zinsu asked.

"What?! A home! Well fuck yes! Anything else aside from sleeping on a bench outside! Hell, even if I don't get a bed, a couch would be like heaven to me!" Plaz exclaimed happily.

"Alright, but I want you to know that my aunt has some rules and boundaries she'd like you to follow, and you better listen to them! If you don't, well then... let's just say she'll be betting you with something hard and heavy." Anna explained.

"I'm cool with that, if it means I have a roof over my head and a comfy place to sleep, then I'm game! Now help me get my stuff in order and move it into your aunt's place. Once I'm settled in I can set up some bounties for you two and you both can get to work." Plaz explained.

Anna and Zinsu nodded and started helping Plaz collect his things to move into the house. Anna hoped that Plaz would help them out in their current situation as she wanted to save earth and the human race from enslavement.
