Now Moxxie wasn't trying to get attention.

They don't want attention. In fact, despises it after dealing with it in the way as their time as the destroyer. Heck, they prefer working behind their small jobs to not having attention. Just don't want it. Let them do what they need to do.

Let him sew to fix this rip. Let him learn parts of a weapon to not mistake certain screws. Let them learn how to figure out the difference between a violin and fiddle. Let them just explore space and maybe might just not acknowledge the too friendly Frogmouth. Okay, that last part won't have too much issue since their time in space can be separated.

Today was just a free day. No, school. So, he was going to use half their day just to go explore. Just didn't expect the surprise of a package deal when they do a different turn. Add a portal ass well to put them somewhere random. What? It's not like they will lose their way back home.

Thank you, checkmarks, for that when they open up the map.

For starters this part of the galaxy was different. Like can see a small difference. For example, the Red Moon that is used in the Harvest Moon festival is part of Hell. Just that area in space that far, far away, along with barriers, you can't see. Which is why you have the one with that book to open it. At least that book specifically. Different levels of space normal eyes, technology over time to see. Then you get higher, higher levels of space you can't see. Many of those phenomenal events will think are just stories or myths.

Moxxie just wanted to see the new sights, be amazed, take in the picture and go home to tell their Madre of the new they saw. Bring her along next time as well.

What they didn't ask for is to float by a sheep.

Really should look at their surroundings a bit better.

"Baaaaaaaaaaa."

Moxxie stares at the sheep on a random meteorite. They even lift their mask up to blink at what they are looking at.

Look like a normal sheep but with a few differences. The wool was like different shades of green and purple that many would mistake for the nebula. A few sparkles glowing. The fleshy parts of the sheep are black. A pair of glowing yellow eyes. Well really four eyes.

"Great counting sheep is a thing after all." Moxxie grumbled, as he does a CHECK.

Moxxie really was unsure what the point of space sheep in space. Besides well animals in space. Till he reads further in that fluffy cloud. This sheep seems to contribute a certain part of the galaxy. This part at least.

They are stars. Well, the stars in their area. It was beneficial. Then when it was time for them to shed their wool actually turned to gas. That gas goes into space to help form new stars, further areas of the galaxy, and even a comet. But those types of comets are further away than you wouldn't see on earth. Like one of their added components. A small role but an important one.

"Huh that's not what I expect." Glance at the sheep as they start to float away. "Well, um see yeah."

"Baaa." Floats on another meteorite just curious to follow them.

"No, go."

"Baaa."

"Look you're a sheep. A space sheep. I'm an Imp. Just because I have hooves it doesn't mean were going to be buddies."

"Baaaaaa."

"I'm busy he-For peak sakes you're talking to them, just like with the other animals." Mask face-palm. How? How did their life come to this? Sure, he prefer animals, even if many can be rude. Talking to you rats. But this.

"BAAAAAA!"

"What got you fluffy bum in a twis- "

SCREECH!

SCREECH!

SCREECH!

That did not sound like a sheep. Along with it it feels a bit colder.

Turn around then stare at what they are seeing crawling out of bigger flying meteorite.

Was that a rock shape like an egg with Swiss cheese holes?

SCREECH!

Holes that had these things coming out.

It looks big. Like the size of a big bear. The body reminded him of a mix of a hound and reptilian. The coloring a dark gray and he thinks purple. Then you reach the face. Or what could be face. The head part is shaped like an alligator. No, eyes can be seen. The mouth was long like a pincer like mandible that didn't seem to look correct on the body. Then the mouth opens out to let a screech to see rows of sharp teeth. The Drool was coming down and landed on a rock.

"Whelp there goes my lack of appetite."

The creatures just kept screeching. Watch how one them gobble up a loose chunk of meteorite. Then just swallow it. After a few seconds I started to gag. Then threw it up. Now it was smaller, glowing. Would compare it to a shrapnel. Then it floated till it plunged into a star. Then let out a screech going for another one while ignoring the pair.

The once bright element began to dim down. It looks sick. Dark purple hue that wasn't right at all. The CHECK bar was still up to get a reading.

Poison is already infecting the star.

Poison unknown need closer study.

"Baaaaaaaa!" The sheep hides behind Moxxie shaking.

"Yeah, this a nope." Thread starts to slip out from underneath the right sleeve. Threads go to grab one of these things. Others didn't like it but thread started to wrap around the whole thing fast. Not allowing anything in or out.

"Let's see why you were made." Moxxie grumble and his strings grabbed the creature. Ignore the screeches in the background. Along with that weird poison star. The creature is unable to move now despite a very unhappy sound. Pull out the soul.

It was a nasty purple color.

Eyes narrow as he stares at the soul. Then the star was brought closer. Glance at the CHECK to start reading. "Hey stay away from it."

The sheep stopped as it was ready to eat the star. "Baaaaaa."

"I'm not being a damn vet if you eat that." Pull the star closer to them. Growl as he wraps it up in string then place it in the inventory to look at later. Right now, I'm focusing on this thing. Just going to call it a bug.

But first I did a big CHECK around on this along with the egg rock.

A mistake.

Creatures are dependent on poison. Will die if poison was empty from sack.

Queen inside. The source of all poison.

Carries are their droids. Soldiers to pollute and poison.

This is creat-

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

"I don't like stuff like this." Eyes glowed behind the mask, along with the three dozen blasters opening their mouth up. Put their arm down as the strings take care of whatever is left over. Along with blaster to vaporize anything left over. The sheep by their side with comically wide eyes.

Pull out the CHECK again.

Destroyed the source.

Well, that's good.

But knowing your luck there are still a few soldiers around in space. So, have fun!

Mentally flip off the CHECK. Now goes back the bug they caught before.

Use his stings to open the mouth to see like a needle of sorts down the throat. Hum as he pulls a piece of meteorite off with string. Place it against the needle. No trouble at all for the needle to get in. The piece of rock now glowing like that shrapnel did with the star. Wrap up this one next to put in the inventory. Stare at the drool, saliva as he starts to grab some samples. The CHECK showing it was no better almost similar to rock. Then did a further CHECK to get a full idea of how it was.

If there were some still around the area. Can be better prepared. Along with if he runs into one these stars. To see if they can either cure the poison or just destroy it. As for this thing. Even if he could, or wanted, to save this bug it might as well died since it was dependent on the poison.

If Ink were to make something like this it'd be questionable. Then again, the no soul skeleton made lot of questionable AUs.

So.

A flick of the wrist the soul shattered.

The bug went limp.

One vaporization later with a Blaster.

"This is idiotic why someone would make that. Space nature?" Moxxie grunted as he sat on another meteorite. He was studying the results of the star and rock the past few hours. The blaster left not too long ago after taking care of this mess.

It's not impossible but probably fix the star. As for the rock, you just need to get rid of it.

"Baaaaaaaa!"

"Will you get away?" Twitch with their face now showing. The sheep right behind them being way too interested in what they are trying to do. Got to give them some credit to stick around after what just happened. "Go on. Get it you can't eat this. Be happy that bug wasn't interested to eat you."

The damn thing just nuzzles up against him.

"You are testing me right now." A small twitch.

"Baaa." The sheep bites down on their sleeve. A small tug.

"I'm not food." Watch it kept tugging. Like it was pulling him.

"Baaa!"

"I will turn you into a pillow case!"

Moxxie followed the sheep with a grumbling attitude. He followed the sheep. How did his life come to this? Sure, try to just turn around to leave. Would either stop to see something new or the sheep would go back to grab part of their clothing.

Soon enough they stop.

It looks like a little planet. Little in comparison to other planets have they noticed before like comparing it to Earth solar system. At best maybe the size of the moon. The colors from above look pastel.

"Um your home?"

"Baaaa!"

"Great um goes back down to- "Stop to see some new stars. Tilt their head to watch as some are falling down.

Well, that questions other ways how their eating stars. Bet the sight would be like shooting stars. Or when rain poured down. Did a quick CHECK on the planet and the surroundings of this area.

Other life down there with inhabitants that aren't just sheep. Just from what they can get it just all animal like creatures. Along with having their own version of grass, trees, water and even mountain areas.

Magic of sorts protecting the area along with these animals to not be spotted or captured. Moxxie could only compare it to anti-void in some way. Only a rare few can open a portal to find it. Or in this case just a barrier but hidden better. Maybe the planet itself is doing it. Or just the area of this space.

It actually was quite interesting to read. Along with other animals able to pick up.

"Baaa!"

"What no-?"

A cute little squeak and clicks.

Spun around. Is that a dolphin? Just mini? The colors in this were a mix of mint green and coral. By the side of their bodies were smaller fins but seem to flutter? Like a bug. On top of the head were antenna but they were like little stars. Around the dolphin was like sparkles. Could be particles just floating them while they move.

"What the crumbs?" First a sheep. Now a dolphin? Not counting that egg thing, they just destroyed it with bugs.

The dolphin squeak while it started to float? Swim? Just doing some kind of movement around them. Let loose a happy squeal along with a flip in the air. Coming out the air hole on top was bubbles?

"Baaaa!" The sheep flies around to get one.

Moxxie blinks as a bubble comes over to land on their mask. Then it pops. It just felt like water but just like mist. Before he knew it the dolphin was now at their face nuzzling him.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Move away but just followed him. Just hearing happy squeals, whistles wanting to play. "Go play with the sheep!"

"Baaaaaaa!"

"I know you're being smug! I know a smug baa when I hear it!"

Another set of happy squeals. There were more of these things!

"Fine bring me to your bloody planet!"

Another two hours later.

"What happened to you?" Maria stared at Moxxie after finally coming home. Completely wet, hair all over their body and was that feather in their hair?

"I've became unpaid exterminator, vet and babysitter in under ten hours."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

We got our space animals again!

Correct this one the hive got destroyed earlier. Like Moxxie just did it on an impulse. But did he get them all is a good question indeed.

The CHECK is sass.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
