Original:

I woke up in the middle of a green forest, light filtering through the leaves above. I had a killer headache, and my ankle felt wrenched out of place, but other than that and a few scratches I was unharmed.

"Where am I?" I said to myself. The air here was nothing like back at home. It seemed... clearer. The plants surrounding me were also a brighter green than back at home as well.

Is this the planet I saw on my scanner?

No, it can't be. I was about two hundred light years away when I got sucked into that black hole.

I stood up, wincing as I put weight on my ankle, and looked up to see a brilliant white light shining from above. It hurt to look at, so I looked away. This is definitely not Xero.

"I think it was over here!"

I jumped as I heard voices in the undergrowth, coming straight towards me.

"Dude, there's no way it didn't burn up before it hit the ground, it came from space!"

I looked around for a way out of the clearing, but all I saw were trees. I guess that's better than nothing, so I decided to climb one (which was proving to be quite difficult with a wrenched ankle). I made it to the top and peered through the leaves.

A few moments later, two figures came from the bushes. They looked a bit like me, but one was wearing a light blue onsie with two round eyes on it, and the other had an orange hoodie that probably resembled an animal on this planet.

"See, Meme? I told you, it wouldn't have made it all the way down!" The orange hoodie man said. He turned slightly my direction, and I noticed he wore some kind of black eyewear that blocked his eyes.

"It wasn't even on fire!" The guy called Meme said, "And look, there's a mark in the grass, so there was SOMETHING here!"

"Maybe we scared off a deer that was nesting," orange hoodie said.

"Well, you can get back home if you don't believe me, Blaza, I'm gonna look around," Meme stated.

"Fine by me," orange hoodie, Blaza, said. He then turned around and headed back to where they came from. Meme, however, stayed behind and investigated where I crashed.

Bint.

Meme walked forward and inspected where I had been laying. He wiped his finger on the ground and I noticed a bit of blood where he had wiped. I must have been so rushed to hide that I didn't cover my tracks at all. Bint again.

He turned around and gazed towards where I had run, then looked at me. Like, right at me.

"I can see you in there. The orange spacesuit kinda gives it away," Meme called.

I gasped. He had found me. What was I gonna say? I don't know how smart these things are, or if I should trust them.

I sighed. I'm over thinking this.

I slid down the trunk of the tree and looked up at the guy. He seemed surprised, as if he was expecting something else.

"... Hi," I said, giving a small wave. I'm not sure how different his species culture is, so I hoped Meme understood it was a hello.

Meme looked at me, curiosity in his eyes, "Who are you?" He asked.

I stood there for a moment, thinking. "I'm Socks. 541-69 of Regiment Xero."

Meme just looked at me, confused. "Regiment? Xero? Seriously, what are you talking about?"

"Uh..." I started, but my head started to pound in my skull. I collapsed to my hands and knees and let out a groan of pain.

"Socks!" I heard Meme call, but his voice was distant. My ears rung as I collapsed further onto the ground.

That's the last thing I remembered before blacking out

(MEME POV)

I knelt down beside the man, Socks, and felt his pulse. He was still alive, just weak. He probably came from that thing I saw falling from the sky. Must've been a big fall, too.

I also noticed his leg was injured. His ankle was twisted pretty bad. I need to get him to MedBay.

So, I called in the reinforcements.

-----

A few minutes later, two people came from the bushes. One was a dinosaur with a purple hoodie, and the other was Blaza.

"Oh..." Blaza said sheepishly, "There was something here."

"Yeah, duh!" I said, "Now, please, help me get him up. He's injured, we need too get him to MedBay."

Blaza and the dinosaur came over to where I sat with Socks and helped me lift him up. I'm glad I called Dino, too, because he is literally the strongest of the group. As in, he could probably lift up Socks single-handedly.

After ten minutes of trekking through the woods, and then five more minutes of desert, we finally made it to the hill where MedBay stood, its white walls gleaming in the sunlight. Once inside, we set Socks down on a bed to rest. I let Blaza and Dino go as I wrapped his ankle with a bandage.

Once I was finished with that, I sat down and looked out the window to the setting sun and sighed.

It was going to be a long night.

Warm, green-tinted light flooded my vision as I opened my eyes. I closed them almost immediately as the light worsened the headache I already had. My ankle felt worse, like it had been wrenched out of place. Some blood trickled into my vision from a cut on my forehead. I pressed my gloves hand against it to try and slow the bleeding.

I groaned as I yet again tried to survey my surroundings. Brown tree trunks sprouted into green, diamond shaped and five-pointed leaves above me. The surface I was on was light brown dirt, with soft green grass growing from it. The air here was a lot warmer than at home, and almost thicker.

"Where the hell am I?" I muttered to myself. I don't know what planet I landed on, or how the hell I was lucky enough to land on one that supported life.

Could this be what I saw on the scanner?

No, no, it couldn't be. I was over two hundred light years away when I was sucked through that black hole...

Suddenly, I heard a voice off to my left.

"I think it was over here!"

With my good foot, I stood up and quickly switched to what is my less threatening form, as to not scare whoever was coming. Or that was my logic. If it was something threatening, I'll just change back.

"Dude, there's no way whatever it was didn't burn up before it hit the ground. Looked like it came from space or something."

I looked to the tree behind me. It was fairly short, but it'll do. I clutched the bark and pulled myself up until I was crouched on a thick, strong branch.

I heard rustling as what sounded like two lifeforms entered the clearing. I peeked through the branches, curious.

Not sure what they were, but they looked a lot like my current form. One of them was wearing some sort of blue, fluffy, one-piece outfit with round, derpy eyes that faced different directions on the hood. Some sort of animal maybe. The other one was wearing an orange and white long sleeved shirt with a hood. The hood had a little face on the top, as well as ears of some kind. Blond hair partially swept over some kind of shiny black eye covering. He was also much taller than the blue-fur guy.

The covered-eyes guy looked around the clearing. "Maybe we scared off a nesting deer."

The blue-fur guy sighed. "Well, if you're not gonna help me look around, Blaza, you can go back. I'm gonna keep searching."

"Fine by me," the guy apparently named Blaza retorted. He turned around and headed back through the green forest.

Blue-fur guy walked over to the tree I was hiding in. He knelt down to where I had been laying for who knows how long since I crashed, putting his hand next to where a pool of blood, presumably from the cut on my forehead, still sat. His head tilted, and he looked up. His curious blue eyes darted around, searching for any clues. Or me.

His eyes met mine. "I can see you, you know. The orange doesn't really blend with the leaves well."

Bint.

He stood up, still looking at me. "Come on down, I won't hurt you."

I sighed, and slowly made my way down the tree. This was harder without wings, and with one leg, but I couldn't show my true form yet. This looks like the kind of creature that wouldn't take kindly to a six foot demon hybrid.

I winced as I landed, accidentally putting pressure on my broken ankle. The blue-fur guy noticed, and his eyes filled with worry.

"You're injured," he pointed out, "Here, I'll take you to MedBay. My stuff's there, I can help. What's your name?"

I remained silent, still not sure if I could trust this guy.

He tilted his head. "Do you... not know English or something?"

English? Well, I don't know what that is, but I can understand him fine. I shrugged, really not sure what he meant.

"You can trust me," he said. He took a step forwards. I took a half step back, slightly alarmed by his sudden approach.

He sighed. "Alright. It's fine. Just... please come with me. I want to make sure that ankle gets fixed."

I thought for a moment before slowly nodding. This guy didn't seem like much of a threat.

"I'm Meme, by the way," he said, smiling. He held out his hand for me to shake. "You don't have to tell me who you are yet, but if you could at some point that'd be great."

I nervously returned the gesture, smiling timidly. "C-call me Socks."

"Nice to meet you, Socks," Meme replied. "Come on, let's go."

I started to follow him, but was stopped by a splitting headache that seemed to bring pain throughout my whole body. I clenched my teeth and put my hand on my forehead, grimacing from the pain. I could hear Meme's voice, but it was distant.

As the pain increased, I fell to my knees, muttering a curse under my breath before the surroundings faded to black.

I watched as Socks suddenly fell, unconscious. I immediately ran over to feel his pulse. If the thing I saw falling from the sky was him, it's a wonder he's still even alive.

I put my fingers to his throat, and sighed in relief as I felt a slow, but steady pulse. Good, he's still alive.

Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I clicked on Blaza's contact and hoped he would pick up. Thankfully, he picked up after one or two rings.

"Hello?"

I sighed. "Thank god. Blaza, I need your help. Come back to the clearing."

"You found something?"

"I found someone."

"What- who is it?"

I don't know, but he said his name was Socks. And then he passed out, and I have to take a look at him at MedBay. So please, come help me take him there."

"Alright."

The phone beeped as Blaza hung up.

——

It wasn't long before Blaza arrived.

He pushed through the undergrowth, stopping midstep when he saw Sock's unconscious form on the ground.

"Woah... okay, then," Blaza stated simply, "You... you did find someone."

"Come on, help me take him to MedBay," I urged, "He's not in a great condition right now."

Blaza looked at Socks once more before nodding, and helping Meme to pick up the unconscious newcomer from the ground.

Hey another rewrite :0

I just kinda changed the sequence of events and the wording. Plus the fact that Socks/Akik never mentioned the fact that he was from another planet right off the bat :b
