Fem A/N: Oh boy... I have a feeling I know who's about to make an appearance.

A/N: Yeah, but she's gonna be a little... Uh... Different...

Fem A/N: Oh good your back... Also, what do you mean by that?

Chibi A/N: He means she's gonna be a little odd. Also no it's not you.

Fem A/N: Oh, well the name makes even more sense then because I would not make a good Appoplexian.

Chibi A/N: Of course not, We're Dogs, not cats.

Fem A/N: Fair point... Also, when am I gonna get down there? The Author said I'd be put in here at some point.

A/N: Be patient it'll happen. Maybe sooner than you think, but for now let's get back to the story!

While Vouge was piloting the Airship which just causally defies the laws of physics like an average person eating lunch, You were currently talking to Abbi and Helena within the ship's laboratory... Well mainly watching them argue about the Chaquetrix.

Abbi: The Chaquetrix is Technology! Not Magic you simpleton! I know because I practically made the damn thing!

She shouts while fiddling with the Chaquetrix... So you really can't just get up and let them have it out.

Helena: Ye partially made the damn thing! I'm tellin' ye it's got Magical Enchantments that prevent what you're tryin' to do!

God! That was your ear! Did she have to yell right next to it!? *Sigh* At least you can still hear out of it well enough to hear Abbi scoff.

Abbi: *Scoff* Nonsense! As if this so-called Magic and Technology would ever mix.

That would be true if we're dealing with the universe's version of Magic fueled by life energy called Mana she would be correct. But the Magic Helena was talking about was not only completely different but on a whole other level!

Helena: Our Magic isn't bound by this universe's laws Lass! This is far more potent and can be bound to Technology! Who knows what Hexes or Magical Failsafes are even on that thing!?

Just after she said that Abbi managed to put on the Chaquetrix Multi-Summon mode which was currently set to only summon Two Alien Gals from the device. However, Abby wanted to increase that number so she began turning the dial in a specific pattern.

Abbi: Or all of what you said was just a bunch of hogwash and-! AH!!!

*ZAP!!!*

Well damn! Looks like Helena was right! The moment Abbi tried to increase the number of available summons by more than two, she was suddenly Zapped by Magical Lighting.

Helena: I tried to warn ya Lass, but ye didn't listen.

Soon after she said that the Chaquetrix Dial started moving on its own and selected the Silhouette of an Alien Gal you had never seen before. Looked like a... Tiger Gal?

Abbi: Oh no... That's not good...

Oh, that was Soooooo reassuring... Before anybody could do anything the device activated itself! Blinding everybody with a bright pink light.

*Bawooooosh!!!*

Ok, let's see who the Chaquetrix popped out... Oh Fuck...

Art by Fagstain(Yes that is their name, also Furaffinity)

Y-yeah she looked VERY pissed that she was in that outfit... Or she was just pissed that she was stuck in the Chaquetrix. Honestly, it could be-.

*SMACK!!!*

Abbi: AHHHHHHHHH!!!

*CRASH!!!*

Both... That looked like it hurt! She just decked the shit out of Abbi! Helena tried to retaliate by pulling out a gun she got from the Armory in the airship, but the Tiger Lady just smacked it out of her hands and Roundhouse kicked Helena into a wall!

*WHAM!!!* *SLAM!!!*

Helena: GAH!!! Fuckin' Bloody Hell!

You tried to get up from the stool you were sitting on while trying to calm her down, but uh... Let's just say you quickly got off of it involuntarily.

Y/N: W-wait just a-!

*BAM!!!* *CRASH!!!*

Now you can definitely confirm that hurts! The Tiger Gal just kicked you in the gut so hard that she sent you flying into a bunch of lab equipment! Abbi got up and shook her head as if that would magically fix the concussions you had right now.

Abbi: *Groans* My Capture must have set the Multi-Summon mode to separate lists for each summoned entity. Instead of drawing one from the first list, it drew a different being from another list. *Sigh* It just had to be an Appoplexian...

She said while also noting this Appoplexian was acting a little different. Perhaps it was the Human DNA that was infused with her, but the Tiger Gal seemed much more coordinated and less inclined to shout at their opponents, though his natural aggression was Definitely still present. Very odd indeed... Of course, the Tetramand she met within the Chaquetrix named Shiva was a little odd as well. Actually that gave her a pretty crazy idea as she hopped down while Helena fought off the Tiger Gal.

Abbi: Y/N! Turn the Chaquetrix dial Clock Wise and swap me out for the Four Armed Silhouette!

She shouts while you get up and brush off the glass shards out of your hair and lightly shake your head to shake the concussion You got from being kicked into a lab table. Soon after you did that as she asked and turned the dial Clock Wise only stopped once you saw the silhouette mentioned.

Y/N(Internal): *Sigh* This is going to cause so much damage isn't it?

You mentally questioned despite already knowing the answer as you quickly smacked the dial after Helena got drop-kicked over a table.

*Smack!* *Bawooooosh!!!*

Shiva: H-huh? Where did Cindi and Terra go?

She said while looking around to see you clutching your head, a Horned Cat Lady trying to stand up, and a very PISSED Appoplexian Girl wearing a dumb looking cat suit starring right at her. All while in a Laboratory.

Shiva: Ah, of course, Abbi got in trouble... Gavlan's always...

*WHACK!!!* *Grab!*

The Tetramand Woman grabbed the Tiger Alien Gal's punch before it could even reach her face with ease. Soon after a slightly malicious grin formed on the Four Armed Gal's face.

Shiva: Have a knack for getting themselves into trouble~.

Oh shit that made the Appoplexian Gal's eyes widened a bit. And Fuckin' finally the Alien Feline spoke as Shiva readied one of her arms to deck her.

???: Oh shi-...

*WABAAAAM!!!* *SMASH!!!* *THUD!!!*

Welp there goes a solid steal mechanical door. Can't imagine Vouge gonna be to pleased with that one, but one thing you know for a fact... The only one that's gonna be more pissed then hims is thr Tiger Gal as she lunge back into the room and snarled at Shiva.

???: *Aggressive Snarl* Let me tell you somethin' you Four Armed Bitch! I'm gonna pop your head like a grape with my bare hands and use your body as a Coat Rack!

WOAH!!! She was definitely more violent than Rath was in the show! Holy hell! Guess Female Appoplexians don't fuck around... Or at least my interpretations don't anyways. Either way, Shiva looked more excited than threatened as she maintained that

Shiva: Feel free to try Pussy Cat~.

You looked at Shiva like she was absolutely Crazy for saying that while Helena looked like she kinda expected this to happen seeing as Tetramands like fighting and Appoplexians often get into fights. The Tiger Gal roared at Shiva before straight up Lunging at her intending to attack her using her extended Claw Blades, however before That could happen the two Alien Gals were swiftly trapped in a stasis field thanks to Vouge throwing a stasis grenade into the room during the pandemonium.

Vouge: What in the Fuck is goin' on here!?

Yeah, that was entirely expected... I mean seriously Shiva and the Pissed Off Cat Lady trashed this place. Thank god there weren't any chemicals here because you highly doubt acid burns would feel great...

Y/N: Welp, Abbi managed to allow two people from the Chaquetrix to come out at a time... But when she tried to add more she got shocked, the watch then auto-selected this ball of pure rage, and Abbi told me to swap her out with this Four Armed lady named Shiva.

The Four Armed Gal in question struggled to wave towards Vouge while smiling as the Tiger Gal in the Cat Suit just growled angrily.

Vouge: Seriously? Abbi thought The best person to handle this situation was a Tetramand? You might as well pit two rabid mutts together in a cage!

While in hindsight that did seem really dumb for a Galvan to do, Helena made a good point soon after.

Helena: Lad, she knew you'd come down here and handle the situation if these two caused enough chaos.

Vouge sighed as Abbi took a fuckin' gamble that they didn't smash through a wall and get lost in the Infinity between spaces... Or the backrooms if you're feeling cheeky.

Vouge: That annoying Frog better thank her lucky stars these two knuckleheads didn't fling themselves into an endless abyss with no beginnin' or end! *Sigh* Better reinforce the walls just to make sure that doesn't happen...

He said while tapping a few holographic keys on his right arm. Soon after he did that everything in the room quickly began repairing itself.

Vouge: Alrighty, that's taken care of and reinforced. Now to send these ladies to some time out.

Before he could press a button to send the Appoplexian and Shiva down to the brig, you stopped him. Why? Well, you have a crazy idea of your own.

Y/N: Why don't we hold off on that? I've got a plan.

Moments later

This was one of the dumbest things Vouge has ever been convinced to do in his lifetime... Which is Very Long by the way! What did you convince him to do? *Chuckles* Well you convinced him to allow you to Take these two Alien Gals on a CLOTHES SHOPPING TRIP!!! *Deep Breath* *Long Sigh* This was probably a sign of future bullshit to come, isn't it?

Vouge(Internal): I swear to god if this takes more than one fuckin' hour...

He thought while Shiva looked at less Human Clothes with a disinterestlook. Mainly because it's not armor nor did it hold any advantages aside from being Pretty.

Shiva: *Scoff* I don't understand why this world wouldn't sell Armor along with these pieces of Cloth. Not to mention they have nothing I could wear anyway, everything here is Small and only has two sleeves.

She bluntly stated as she was more convinced about Abbi's decoration that Earth was a backwater planet. Helena was watching for anybody outside, so far it was empty... A little too empty. She doesn't see a lick of movement out there.

Helena: Normally I'd say take ye time, but somethin' tells me we should hurry up.

Well, you did notice that there wasn't anybody at the counter... Or just around in general. Yeah, something is up. Because the town is large enough to have Some sort of activity during the night. You visit it frequently since it's so close to your home... Which was about a two-hour drive by the way.

Y/N: Vouge can you check the back to see if anybody is around?

The way you asked that suggests you're also sensing trouble around the bend. While Vouge got up from his chair to head to the back, Shiva was the one who actually grabbed the door.

Shiva: I'll do it. It's better than searching through a bunch of useless clothes I can't even wear.

Soon after she said this she began to open the door. What she saw behind the door was a terrified Police Officer with a shotgun pointed right at her face.

Scared Officer: G-g-get away from me!

*BOOM!* *Whoosh!* *Snatch!*

Wow, Shiva had some good reflexes and an iron nerve. She swiftly sidestepped the shot, grabbed the shotgun, yanged it out of his hands, and picked him up by his shirt with ease. All while maintaining her composer as she didn't look phased in the slightest.

Scared Officer: *Shields face* P-p-please! D-dont turn me into one of those monsters!

As said before Shiva didn't look phased about being shot at with a Shotgun... Probably because even if it did hit her it wouldn't even penetrate her skin. You decided to handle the situation before the young man passed out from fear.

Y/N: Relax Officer. She's not going to hurt you. *Looks to Shiva* Can you put him down?

Shiva rolled her eyes a bit before sitting him back down on his feet. The Officer stumbled back a bit as he still looked a little startled.

Scared Officer: W-who are you people!? W-what do you want!?

The young man asked still feeling a little jumpy as he suddenly backed up into someone else. He quickly turned around and saw a... Tiger dressed up as a biker chick?

I don't own anything within this picture

???: *Growl* What are you lookin' at Shimpy?

And the Officer was terrified again as now he was frozen in fear. You sighed a little as pitched the bridge of your nose.

Y/N: Tilia. You said you'd be polite when we meet a normal human.

Oh, finally I can stop using the triple question mark... Uh! I mean, she told you her name when heading to the clothing store... Well more like shouted it to you after you asked her why she was wearing a Cat Suit... Turns out someone(She doesn't know who of course) put her in that before stuffing her into the Chaquetrix because she didn't want to go in there butt naked seeing as Appoplexians have a great sense of shame. Guess you have to be careful what you wish for, huh?

Tilia: Let me tell you somethin' Y/N! Appoplexians and the word Polite don't mix! And I- Gah! I mean Tilia-! Oh, forget it! Why do I feel stupid every time I talk in the third person!? We do it all the time!

Huh, guess Abbi's theory on Human DNA, or whatever a Mage Signature was, actually affecting some of the Alien Gals from your Chaquetrix had some truth to it. In this case, Tilia has a few more brain cells to work with than usual. Though she does still have the Rage and Anger of an Appoplexian that's for sure.

Y/N: I'm sure you'll adjust given enough time. *Looks to the Officer* Now then, you don't need to worry. We're not going to harm you. We just want to know what happened to the town. You said someone was turning people into monsters?

He asked in a nicer tone so as to not scare the Police Officer any more than he already was... And to obviously try to calm him down a bit. It was somewhat effective as he looked to see Vouge and Helena with expectant looks. He looked down for a moment before nervously telling you about what happened.

Scared Officer: I-It all happened so fast. These Pale humanoid creatures suddenly came out of nowhere! They just started snatching people up and... *Gagged a little* Barfing some sort of black stuff into their mouths. W-whatever it was, it was like Hot Tar! I-I Heard their choking screams of agony before they finally suffocated while hiding in the back of this clothing shop... Moments later peeked out and saw everybody got back up! O-only they weren't human anymore. They were like Zombies or something! All of them were being loaded up into large trucks and shipped off somewhere, I don't know where. T-that's all I know! I sware!

Oh, that's not good... Vouge and Helena know what that means. The D.D's were gonna process the ones they converted, then head over to the residential area next.

Vouge: If that's so, call the National Guard and evacuate the residential area. Tell the guard someone will send a flare to signal the all clear so they can come in and clean up the mess we're fixin' to make out of these Monster's base.

The Police Officer nodded as he didn't want to find out what you lot had planned. He quickly booked it out of the store without even looking back. Shiva scoffed at the sight of the cowardly man.

Shiva: *Scoff* What shameful behavior. If a worthwhile challenge presented itself to me I'd take it.

While you understand Shiva's culture and general outlook on life is different than that of Humans, it still rubbed you the wrong way a little. But you'll be the better person and calmly explain why Humans aren't like Tetramand's.

Y/N: Humans aren't exactly as durable as you Shiva and we know that. So we try to avoid Dangerous situations if we can help it. Especially when we have families.

Tilia scoffed at that explanation. That just made the Appoplexian Gals think humanity was just a bunch of weak cowards without much of a spine.

Tilia: Sounds like excuses to me. If somebody picks a fight you don't back down, you give the jackass who decided to challenge you a few Knuckle Sandwiches followed by a Suplex for good measure!

While Shiva agreed with the retaliation part, she felt like the Suplex was a little overkill. A few good blows to the head and they should be down and out. That and a stranglehold.

Shiva: *Scoff* You Appoplexians are always over the top. Why not just put them in a chokehold and call it a day?

Oh boy here comes the argument... You could already tell you're gonna have your hands full with these two... Case and point.

Tilia: Because that's boring! If you're not styling on your enemies with a Suplex followed by a Dropkick to the Face then you're not even Fighting! You're just slapping someone around for no reason!

She snarled after saying this as she tried to get into Shiva's face to which she replied in kind by towering over Tilia and getting into her face.

Shiva: And what if this showboating gets you into more trouble!? What if you can't even hit your opponent because they had plenty of time to read your heavily telegraphed moves!? What if your opponent can predict your every move before you've even made it!?

Yeah, they're balling their hands up into Fists already, it's probably a good time to try to stop them. However, as you were about to attempt to do just that, Vouge beat you to the punch with a fake cough. That grabbed their attention as both Alien Gals saw Vouge tossing a Stasis Grenade up and down into the air with a raised brow.

Vouge: Ya'll need some time out time or you two gonna behave?

The two Alien Gals narrowed their eyes for a moment before they both stepped away from each other without much fuss.

Vouge: Good Choice. Now let's move out.

You let out a bit of a sigh as you were going to try to actually Reason with them rather than Threaten them with imprisonment, but you guess that works given these gals' personalities even if you don't personally like it. They don't exactly respect the words of people they deem weak or full of air. So it's gonna take the word of someone they deem Strong to get them to listen... Unfortunately, the only person who can do that right now is Vouge.

Y/N(Internal): *Sigh* And here I thought shopping for Clothes would be a relaxing venture... What will it take to get them to stop going at each other like a pair of wild dogs?

As you thought this the whole team began to move out towards Vouge's Air Ship called the Sky Ranger funnily enough. You don't know why, but you found that name kinda fitting for it. Either way, all of you board it and soon take off while tracking the fume emissions from the Large Trucks the Dingo Dogs used to transport their victims.

Moments Later

You were pretty much getting geared up for war by Vouge in his Absolutely Packed armory(Seriously this room was loaded, but most of it is locked off). Just Vouge thankfully as Shiva and Tilia were doing their own thing on the ship. They can get away with this because the Chaquetrix thinks they're always close by due to Vouge tempering with the topography of the ship... Or something, you're honestly not too sure how it works. Either way, it allowed you to have some one-on-one with Vouge as you had a question that's been nagging you since the Incident at the Clothing store.

Y/N: Hey Vouge, How do you get Tilia and Shiva to listen to you? Those two seem more stubborn than a Mule and then some...

Vouge was sifting through some old gear before he had raised one of his brows. He was surprised you were asking him this, but he wasn't gonna rag on you for it or even question why you asked this. He'll just tell you.

Vouge: All you got to do is show that you're capable to them. I'll admit that won't be an easy task for you since they already think you're a bit of a pansy. Which you're not, I don't know many people who can just punch someone through a wall and immediately turn around to dome his buddies in the brain box just as easily as breathin'. I know fewer that can do so without proper trainin'.

While he said this he found what looked like a Rustic Looking Shotgun and a tactical-looking sword. He then hands them over to you along with an Ammo Belt and a Holster capable of holding the Blade, Shotgun, and Pistol you were given earlier.

Art by David Pacanowsky

Vouge: This should help out. But don't just go in their guns blazing. You have to prove that you're Capable, not Suicidal or Stupid. So use your Brain and Gut.

You took a mental note of that as you're confident this is gonna get pretty loud here soon. However, what you didn't expect was Vouge to suggest this.

Vouge: Now We'll be splitting into two teams since we need to cover ground quickly so those Jar Heads aren't too keen on waitin'. You, Shiva, and Tilia make as much noise as possible and get the base's attention on you by targeting their production line. While Me and Helena take out their power source, raid their laboratories and servers for any useful data, and destroy any samples of Blight along the way.

While you wonder what Blight is it's safe to say the Dingo Dogs need whatever that was to keep the base running. Vouge seemed pretty confident that just him and Helena would be enough to get the job done. Guess they've got experience on their side.

Y/N: Ok... This is starting to sound a lot like a Trial by Fire situation here...

You said while taking the Blade and Shotgun. What Vouge said next was so Blunt that you can't help but to respect the honesty.

Vouge: That's because it is. *Pats your shoulder* Good luck.

Soon after he said that he left the Armory leaving you slightly stunned from the previously stated bluntness. After a moment you check to see if Vouge left you any ammo in the Ammo Belt he gave you and much to your surprise it appears to be Much deeper than you had expected. It's highly unlikely you'll run out of ammo during the mission. Finding time to reload might be a different story, but that's probably what the Blade and Pistol are for.

Y/N(Internal): *Sigh* Hope I can do enough damage with this stuff. Those Dingo Dogs have superior tech. The Troopers fall easily enough, but those Heavys are gonna be a nightmare to handle.

As you mentally thought about this Helena entered the Armory. While she walked over and collected a few interesting weapons, such as some Butterfly Swords and a pair of Flintlocks that appeared to be refurbished with some tech, she looked at you as you loaded the shotgun given to you.

Helena: Say, ye ok there mate? You seem awfully calm about bein' tossed into this mess. Most people would have thunk they were dreaming or somethin'.

She asked making sure you weren't conked in the head or something. You looked at her while still loading your shotgun with a surprising amount of dexterity.

Y/N: I'm fine. I mean, I was already doing some strange stuff before anyway using what I think is Magic. So it's not that far-fetched to think there was more to this Galaxy than just Humanity and Earth. Though Aliens wasn't exactly the first thing I would have guessed. I've always thought some might exist out there since it's a big galaxy and all, but I didn't know that they already Knew about us. Not only that but most of them have Technology that blow's earths out of the water. Guess that's why Earth is called a Backwater Planet. Gonna have a lot of material to draw from when I write my book.

You finished loading your Shotgun as you realized that you didn't even give Helena a chance to reply. Even the she smiled at you, you felt the need to apologize.

Y/N: Oh I'm sorry, I didn't give you a chance to talk.

Helena leaned back on a wall while still maintaining that slight smile as she didn't mind.

Helena: It ok lad, I'm used to just listenin' while someone speaks their mind. Ye remind me of someone I know. He also says he's fine when somethin' is naggin' him. That and he says It's Fine when someone's puttin' him on the spot. The guy didn't really know how to open up very well. What made it worse was that he was as stubborn as a mule. But it wasn't hard to get him to open up once you spent some time with him and gave him a few nudges. However, he tends to shut everyone out when he's not doing too well at times. *Chuckles* But he always bounces back when people need him the most. I would do anythin' to protect that man. Still do in a way.

She paused as soon got up and walked over to you. She then gave your shoulder a playful punch as her smile grew a little wider.

Helena: Don't hesitate to come and talk with me if ye fellin' a little down, alright? Oh and if ye somehow meet the man, tell him I said Hi~.

Soon after she said that she left the Armory leaving you to wonder who she was talking about... And why they sounded Very familiar. Like in an Uncanny yet frustrating way as you couldn't put your finger on it. Oh well, you're sure this guy will turn up at some point. Sounds like those two are fairly close too.

Y/N(Internal): Must be a close friend or something.

You mentally stated before starting to load the magazines of your pistol and generally preparing for the raid. You're sure that it's probably gonna be necessary.

Some Time Later

Fem A/N: Helena was talking about him, wasn't she?

A/N: What gave it away? The large amount of "Subtlety" or the fact you asked?

Fem A/N: Probably a bit a both... Also, Fuck You.

A/N: Na, I don't feel like choking the Red Rocket right now.

Fem A/N: Oh Fuck Off! You know damn well what I meant!

Chibi A/N: Mom. Dad. Please stop fighting.

Fem A/N: *Looks at him with a mixture between "Really?" And "I kinda walked into that one..."*

Chibi A/N: *Has the Spongebob Grin on his face*

A/N: *Face Palm's* *Sigh* Let's just continue the chapter...

You, Shiva, and Tilia were currently approaching the Dingo Dog base in a separate group while Vouge and Helena were somewhere close waiting for You and the Alien Gals to clear out a path for them to sneak in without being noticed off the bat. Basically, you were misleading the enemy about how many of you there were and what type of gear they had. Makes a whole lot more sense why Vouge gave you basic guns rather than some futuristic shit... Aside from it being illegal throughout the Galaxy of course.

Y/N(Internal): That clever Jackass...

Soon after you mentally thought this your team saw the base which was on the side of a cliff deep in the woods. The entrance was fairly light in terms of security, probably because they didn't think anybody would find them as they were Very deep in the woods. There were only about four of Trooper's.

Y/N: Alright let's play it smart. We'll-.

*Whooosh!* *SLAM!!!*

*Sigh* Of course Tilia would just Leap into the air and clothesline the first unfortunate Dingo Dog she saw. Which killed it and sent it flying like a soccer ball, but also sounded the alarm signaling more enemies to come out. Thankfully not immediately, but Goddamnit this really threw a monkey wrench into things.

Y/N: *Sigh* Ok... Shiva, go ahead and join in the brawl. I'll get yours and Tilia's back.

As if you even needed to tell her that. She probably would have gone in there even if you didn't tell her. Either way, she scoffed a little as she quickly...

*Whoosh!* *STOMP!!!* *Snap!*

Stomped on one of them and made its back do its best impression of a KitKat bar. Or in boring terms, snapped it in half like a stick. While Tilia was using another Dingo Dog as her personal Punching bag, backup arrived and they certainly looked different compared to the Trooper's and Heavy's that burned your house down. Two were Muscular Blank Men, however, one of them had Four arms while the other had Expendable wrist claws as the Base seemingly adapted and mimicked their fighting styles. They quickly split off and fought their respective opponents after Shiva quickly crushed the last normal Dingo Dog's head.

Tilia: *Rushes towards the enemy* Bring it on you discount Appoplexian!

*BAM!!!* *BOOM!!!*

Soon after she shouted that both she and the Appoplexian D.D traded blows as Shiva quickly engaged the Tetramand D.D who began exchanging blows.

*SMACK!!!* *WABAM!!*

Shiva: *Grunt* Real or not! These things are surprisingly accurate.

They were both fighting off these Alien Variant D.D's while another Dingo Dog exited the base. This one looks more like a commander, it's safe to sa-.

*BOOM!!!* *Splatter!*

HOLY SHIT!!! I was gonna say it was safe to say you'll be taking That one in, but you just fuckin' blasted that thing head off with a Shotgun which was surprisingly effective at range! It even caught Shiva, Tilia, and the Alien D.D's off guard! So much so that you quickly racked another shell. However, the Appoplexian D.D swiftly recovered while Tilia was still a little taken aback and swiftly batted it away and extended its claw to-.

*Crunch!* *Slash!* *Thud!*

Hot damn! You weren't fuckin' around here! The moment the Shotgun was out of your hand, you delivered a Swift and Brutal kick to that thing's knee which bent it Backwards before taking out that blade and Slashing that thing's head Clean off. Soon after its body limply falls to the ground. Shiva was quickly punched threw a tree by the Tetramand D.D who-.

*Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!*

Fucking dies I guess since You just wiped out your Pistol and shot its Chrome Dome four times before it could do anything else. For a guy who never shot a gun in his life or even fought someone before, you sure as hell have a talent for kicking ass. I guess Vouge was correct when mentioning you were one of those Mages he spoke about. Which you take notice of as you start to question who exactly you were in your past life. But you put that in the back of your mind as you pick up your shotgun while Shiva dusted herself off a bit.

Shiva: You handle yourself well in a fight... Despite being a Human.

She said with a hint of surprise as she did not expect someone like yourself to Brutally destroy your enemies like that in such a quick and efficient manner. Neither did Tilia who was a little terrified that someone of your stature just Ended those things without even breaking a sweat.

Tilia: Uh... Yeah... Remind me to Never pick a fight with him or piss him off...

You quickly load an extra shell into the Shotgun and reload your pistol before heading towards the entrance to the door. What you said next pretty much signals to both Alien Gals you're not in the mood for more bullshit right now.

Y/N: Let's move.

Oh boy, you sound pretty agitated. Probably why you manhandled that situation back there with ruthless efficiency. After all, your team is here for a mission and you're damn well seeing it through. Wasting time out here isn't going to get anywhere. Shiva and Tilia looked at each other for a moment before the Tetramand Gal shrugged as she followed without thinking much about your tone, while Tilia was a little more cautious about your mood right now. Might sound weird, but again that Human DNA is doing something to her here. Either way, she wasn't gonna test you as You Three enter the base and encounter a split in the hallway. The signs are in an Alien language you can't understand, but Luckily Shiva does understand it.

Shiva: The Production Lab is to the right. There's also something about a Containment Area. Both should be close to each other if I'm reading this correctly.

That's probably worth looking into, but you have a feeling what you're gonna find isn't going to be good. From the officer's account, the people have technically already been converted into something called a Husk. Helena told you about them before Abbi tinkered with the Chaquetrix. From the way she described them, they were like tougher and faster Zombies that could randomly mutate into abominations. Once an individual is turned into one, they're eventually gone. The best thing you can do for them is take out what they became.

Y/N: Alright, let's smash up their Labs and destroy their stock of Husks.

Now Tilia can get behind that, smashing stuff and taking names is more of her style of thinking. Shiva also agreed but mainly because this place probably needs to be shut down. Something about this place puts the Tetramand gal on edge as your group goes deeper into the base.

Meanwhile

In another part of the base, a patrolling D.D guard near a sample storage lab. However as it was passing by the door, it suddenly opened! And before the D.D guard could do anything, a carbon steel knife was quickly jammed into its neck before a gloved pale hand grabbed it and pulled it into the sample room. However, it was only after the dead D.D was dragged into the room both Helena and Vouge entered the same hall. Helena was waltzing in like she owned the place while Vouge was keeping his eyes out with his Plasma Minigun at the ready.

Vouge: Helena, I get that you could probably do this shit in your sleep, but if ya hadn't noticed. We are on a Stealth Mission. You know the kind that doesn't involve waltzing around like a hooker?

Ok, that last one was a jab at her personally. So what if Helena liked to sway her hips a bit while walking? It makes her feel great by lookin' good! The Horned Cat was quick to flip him the bird before giving a retort.

Helena: Fuck off ye jarhead. Let's I'm not luggin' around fifty pounds of useless shite to compensate for your lackin' manhood.

Damn, she went right for the metaphorical groin shot huh? Not that Vouge didn't ask for it, but it was a bit of a low blow. Didn't seem to phase Vouge very much though as he quickly made another jab at the Sea Devil.

Vouge: Yeah, you would call every other guy's manhood small after taking on a third-legged guy huh? Honestly, I'm amazed you're not in a wheelchair with how much he's dicked you down the past few cycles.

He stated while they moved towards the sample lab door. He soon began hacking into it using his wrist pad's built-in hacking module as the jabbing competition continued.

Helena: Ye sound jealous when you say that. Ye upset you weren't born with a Gaint Serpent? Or ye missin' out on the action?

She jokingly clapped back. Vouge rolled his eyes as he neared completion of his hack. He retorted not with a crude joke or playfully harsh words but with blunt honesty.

Vouge: Not really. I'd rather stay single than get pegged or have my meat used every other day when some gal gets frisky. Besides, I'm not exactly a sexual person anyhow.

Right... Not every guy is motivated by sex and Vouge is one of them. The guy would rather make a gun that fires a black hole than go out on a date.

Helena: Eh, whatever floats ye boat mate. I prefer havin' someone to warm my bed.

Soon after she said that the door opened up. They entered as Vouge shook his head while his wrist computer automatically closed up.

Vouge: *Sigh* And people say Men are single-minded when it comes to sex...

Yeah, you seem to attract that type huh? Either that or- Woah! What the hell happened here!? There was a mangled D.D. guard with a carbon steel knife in its throat! Not only that but all the blight samples are already destroyed.

Vouge: Hot damn! Guess someone else is already here, now is it who I think it is or someone else? Cuz I only know of a few people who can tear a D.D in half like that.

Helena bent down and examined the wounds more closely to see that he wasn't exactly Torn in half, rather it was Sliced in half with the very knife jammed into its throat. She pulled out the Carbon steel knife and wiped the black ooze off on the D.D's clothes.

Helena: Definitely not someone ye know of. They wouldn't just leave one of their weapons lying around or sticking out of a D.D like this.

The Horned cat gave the knife to Vouge who pressed a button on his sunglasses to analyze it further. It looks like an average Carbon Steel knife, which could have been made in a factory on earth. The oddest thing is the face it has hand prints, yet not fingerprints.

Vouge: Weird... This knife has Hand prints yet not Fingerprints. There is no evidence of any scarring on the guy's fingers either. Hell, there isn't even a lick of DNA on this blade other than the dead D.D's.

Well, that is very weird. Helena looked around to see that there were clear signs of infiltration... other than themselves of course. The vents in the room had been broken into despite the countermeasures set in place and the guard was clearly taken by surprise given the fact no signs of battle took place. Whoever did this was pretty good... Without warning an Alarm sounded across the entire base causing both Helena and Vouge to quickly duck down as a bunch of D.D's quickly book it through the hall.

Vouge: It looks like Y/N and the two Amazons got their attention... Now we just need to double-time it to the servers and blow their power supply to hell and back Before they get overwhelmed.

Thank you for stating the obvious Captain Obvious. I'm pretty sure the blaring alarms and mobilizing D.D's didn't already spell that fact out.

Helena: Yeah Yeah, just don't get slowed down with all that junk in ye trunk.

She teasingly stated that she didn't think Vouge would clap back while under pressure... She'd be dead wrong.

Vouge: Last I checked, I wasn't the one shakin' my ass around like a diva.

Helena groaned a little as she was tempted to put her boot up his ass after that. But before she could decide whether or not that was a good idea, the D.D's soon left the area sparing Vouge for a week without sitting down.

Helena: Asshole...

Vouge chuckled as they both headed out before more D.D's came around and spotted them. However, they might be in for a bit of a surprise when they reach the reactors. But that's for another time.

Meanwhile with Y/N and the Amazonian Aliens

You, Shiva, and Tilia got ready for a fight as you three figured that this was bound to happen at some point. Though your team hasn't reached the Production Lab just yet.

Y/N: It looks like we need to double-time it! Let's go!

Luckily you didn't have to tell them twice, these hallways are a bit too Narrow for Shiva's liking and Tilia just wanted to pile-drive some bad guys into the ground. She wouldn't have to wait too long for that to happen as a bunch of D.D's blocked the path to the Production Lab.

Tilia: This is gonna be fun!

She stated while cracking her knuckles before lunging at the nearest D.D and promptly grabbing him. She jumped up into the air and pretty much snapped its neck its head collided with the floor. Then she proceeded to uppercut along into the ceiling before spin-kicking three more into the back wall.

*WHAM!!!* *BAM!!!* *SLAM!!!*

Tilia: BRING IT ON YOU PALE WHINY'S!!! I GOT ENOUGH ASS KICKING FOR ALL OF YA!!!

Well, it seems like she was having fun. Now while you're willing to sit back and let her do the work, Shiva was also itching for a fight. After all, been stuck in a dinky watch for god knows how long so she's definitely itching to bruise her knuckles a bit. Thankfully she wouldn't have to wait to long as another group of D.D's was heading their way from where they came from. You aimed your shotgun at them only for Shiva to put one of her hands on it while gently pushing it down.

Shiva: Allow me, I've been itching for a Real fight.

You gave a bit of an eye roll as you lowered your gun. After doing this she immediately charged in and quickly took care of two of them by clotheslining them with both sets of arms. Then she proceeded to grab a D.D by the leg and use it as a weapon while still punching the snot out of the ones that got too close. She even did what you did to the Appoplexian D.D and started kicking their knees so hard they bent backwards... Of course, this also pretty much broke their legs in half considering that, but that's because Tetramand's are crazy strong. But as the two Alien gals got caught up in their battles you were left with nothing to do, however...

???: *Low Growl*...

*Smash!* *Whoosh!* *TANG!!!*

You heard something above you. When you looked up you saw a large vent with something large and... Invisible? Before you could fully process what you were looking at, the large invisible being quickly smashed the vent open and hopped down. On pure instinct, you quickly unsheathed your blade and quickly clashed with its double wrist blades! It soon uncloaked to reveal... Not what most of you guys were expecting (But keep that in mind for later. *Wink!*). The being before you looked like a tall humanoid who wore an all-black suit with what you think is a jacket. It also wore a Metallic Skull Mask with glowing red eyes.

???: *Chuckling Growl*.

This thing didn't seem like those D.D's... Whatever it was it was fully sentient and not some sort of vat-groan automaton. It also seemed like a Hunter as it had a few strangely shaped skulls and some teeth around his waist like a Trophy Belt of sorts.

Y/N: *Grunt!* Sneak attack, huh? That's a dirty trick!

*WABAM!!!*

After saying this you quickly kicked this Hunter in the chest causing him to stumble back a bit, it looked a bit shocked that you were able to kick it away so easily. But it then quickly regained its composer before trying to slowly circle you clockwise. You quickly began circling it at a similar speed, essentially you two were in a standoff waiting to see which one would strike first. As you did this Tilia quickly elbow-dropped the last for her guys before getting up and looking around.

Tilia: That was it!? This is more disappointing than that clothing store!

*TANG!!!* *TWANG!!!* *TWONG!!!*

The Appoplexian Gal's ear twitched upon hearing the sounds of blades clashing. She turned to see that you were engaged in a heated battle with some sort of guy in a weird-lookin' gip suit. Probably some edge lord dumbass who thinks wearing a skull mask makes him look cool. Bet he can't fight an Appoplexian worth a damn... But she is still itching for a fight so she guesses that guy would have to do.

Tilia: *Groans* Why couldn't I be in a bar fight in the middle of ungoverned space!? *Mutters* At Least the fights there are challenging...

After stating this she quickly popped out her forearm claws and began charging ready to slash at this edgy loser with her forearm claws! However, the Hunter noticed this easily and quickly kicked you in the gut to stun you!

*WABAM!!!*

Y/N: *Cough!* D-don't...! *Sharp Gasp!*

Before you could finish you knelt down and gasped for air! Tilia quickly realized she was in trouble as she saw the Hunter swinging at her! As time slowed down as the blade got closer to Tilia's face she suddenly felt something sweeping her legs out from under her causing her to fall back and bearly dodge the blades by a hair breath! The Hunter glanced over to you and saw that you had summoned magic roots to purposely trip her in order to save her, all while still gasping for air after that surprisingly hard kick. But before he could try and strike you down, Shiva joined the fray.

*WABOOM!!!* *WHOOSH!!!* *SLAM!!!*

And boy did she come in Hot and Heavy as she delivered a mean double right hook to the Hunters face breaking his left optical lense on their Skull mask! Not only that it sent him flying into a nearby wall which made a large dent in the wall! This seemingly caused his forearm blades to retract and stun him as Tilia landed on the ground.

*THUD!!!*

Tilia: OW!!! Hey, what was that for!?

After she said this, Shiva quickly bolted over towards the Hunter intent on completely knocking him out with a mean double left hook. However, you quickly notice that the Hunter's body began to bulge out a bit seemingly gaining more muscle mass. The realization hit you like a truck as you try to whan Shiva.

Y/N: IT'S A TRAP!!!

*BOOF!!!*

Before Shiva could fully process what you said, the Hunter's muscles quickly expanded changing his appearance from Pretty Athletic to Absolutely Jacked in the spain of seconds! While it may seem that his muscles simply inflated providing very little in terms of a strength boost, that was far from the case...

*WABOOM!!!*

Shiva: *Getting the Wind knocked out of her!*

*GRAB!!!* *SMACK!!!* *WABOOM!!!* *SLAM!!!*

The force of the Hunters' punch quickly knocked the air out of Shiva before the Hunter quickly grabbed the Tetramand Gal's head and slammed it into the wall next to the giant dent... Repeatedly. Soon there was an even bigger dent right next to the previous one causing Shiva to pass out for the moment. This allowed Tilia to quickly join the fray as you just recovered from having the wind knocked right out of you.

*SMACK!!!BOOM!!!BAM!!!POW!!!WABAM!!!*

And the Appoplexian Gal began just whiling on the Hunter outta nowhere! He didn't even have time to recuperate or counter her strikes as he stumbled backward seemingly stunned by her ferocious blows! It seems this anger stems from her realizing that she nearly got Game Ended earlier.

Tilia: Let me tell you somethin' you Gimp Suit-wearing Edge Lord! By nearly killing me you're about to see what happens when you piss me off! AND IT ISN'T GONNA BE PRETTY!!!

She soon let out a fearsome roar that was loud enough to stir Shiva from her unconscious state. Then Tilia quickly lunged at the Hunter intent on ripping him to shreds. However, the Hunter quickly shrank back down to his more agile form and quickly dodged causing Tilia to miss! Not only that she was open to a counter-attack which the Hunter was capable of quickly!

*SMACK!!!BOOM!!!WACK!!!WABOOM!!!*

Tilia: *Passing Out Exhale...*

The Hunter quickly delivered her own flurry of blows with extreme precision. Tilia was knocked unconscious for a moment with just four strikes! But just after he did that, you saw an opportunity as his guard was lowered and you took it without hesitation.

*SLICE!!!*

???: *Pained Roar!*

He quickly howled in pain as you quickly slashed his left eye causing him to bleed a liquidity tar-like substance that quickly melted the floor wherever its droplets landed, all while producing a hint of smoke. Your blade only smoked a bit while sustaining no damage as Shiva looked surprised that you managed to injure it, mainly due to how many heavy hits he took without any visible signs of damage aside from his gear. But as Shiva was getting herself ready to join the fray again while Tilia started to come to and you were ready to attack the Hunter again as it was reeling in pain, an alarm suddenly went off as an automated voice emanated throughout the halls.

*WHOOP!!!* *WHOOP!!!* *WHOOP!!!*

Intercom: Warning! Core integrity breached! Implosion emanates in Five Minutes! Evacuate the Facility Immediately!

As everyone was caught off guard by that message, the Hunter quickly whipped out a small round ball and you quickly learned it was a Batman-esc smoke bomb pellet as he swiftly threw it down! All while Tilia picked herself up off the ground and shook her head.

*Pop!* *Ssssssssssssssssss!!!*

Tilia: *Cough!Cough!* Hey where'd he go!? The fight was getting started!

Soon after she said that the facility began to rumble as the alarms continued to ring out throughout the halls. You quickly sheathed your blade as you gave her a pretty good reason why the fight ended early to the Alien Tiger Gal.

Y/N: *Cough!Cough!* The Facility is about to Implode! We need to leave! Now!

Tilia looked a bit shocked as that was one heck of a reason to leave in a hurry! Not that she doesn't understand the gravity of the situation, in fact, she has a good idea of how bad things can get as she vaguely recalled someone getting Imploded... It wasn't exactly clean. Though Shiva brought up the fact that the other team was probably still in the facility.

Shiva: What about Helena and Vouge?

She asked as the underground structure rumbled while the walls began to crack a bit from some sort of distant explosion.

Y/N: Vouge and Helena are professionals, they probably had worse than this! We haven't, which means we need to get the hell out of here yesterday! Now Move!

After you said this the underground building rumbled once more. You didn't have to repeat yourself after that as all three of you quickly bolted towards the exit!

Meanwhile

In another part of the facility, Vouge and Helena were booking it towards the server room as fast as they could. Once they got there, Vouge wasted no time in hacking the door and instead clicked a button on his plated gauntlets. This revealed a hidden compartment where Vouge quickly grabbed a small gadget that swiftly began cutting away the metal door with ease.

Vouge: *Annoyed Grunt!* Well at least we don't have to worry about blowin' up the core! Now we just gotta download several thousand Unibit's of data in under a minute! *Mutters* If I find whoever this Other Intruder is, I swear to God I'm about to give them a colonoscopy with my Minigun!

*Tink!* *Slam!*

The door was swiftly cut open and Bouge quickly entered while pulling out a USB plug linked to a portable hard drive in one of his pouches. He quickly began hacking away at the server as Helena asked a rather redundant question.

Helena: Can ye buy us more time from here? Like remotely stabilize the core or somethin'?

Vouge briefly gave her a look that implied that line of thinking was just absolutely dumb seeing as technology doesn't work like that... Not unless you have Technopathic abilities anyway. Which he doesn't have.

Vouge: No, the core is on a completely different network than the servers, And whoever caused that meltdown probably made sure it's a runaway anyway! *Smiles* In short not only is it not is it not possible, you've just told me you have zero idea how this shit works! So good job, now I got more ammo to throw at you ya Boomer.

He chuckled a bit after that as he was halfway done copying over the files. It was crude and a little dangerous just downloading their entire system to his portable hard drive, but he didn't have time to be fancy about it. Helena on the other hand glanced at the Egg Headed Jar Head with a bit of a twitch in her eye as now was not the time for jokes.

Helena: There is a time and a place for that mate. If I wanted to be constantly annoyed by "Witty" banter, I'd told Lex to hunt down the Chaquetrix instead of ye.

Vouge just scoffs at that notion. That guy may be an expert at kicking ass and casting spells, but that man is absolutely off his rocker. Could have been worse, she could have chosen Mystic for the job.

Vouge: Oh really? And what exactly would sending a dude that shouts Abraca-DIE whenever he turns someone to mush using telekinesis accomplish? At that point you might as well have sent Mystic seeing as his version of "Subtlety" is kickin' the door and goin' to town. Seriously, I've seen Appoplexians with more restraint than those two, and only One of them isn't bat-shit insane. *Chuckle* Face it ya Hairball, you made the smart decision picking me for the mission.

While Vouge was clearly making light of the situation at hand to try and ease the mood a bit, he couldn't help but look down a bit as the file transfer was around seventy-five percent done.

Vouge: And yet I still mucked it up. *Scoff* Maybe you're right. Maybe you should have picked one of those two instead of a wished-up old fart like me. I mean I'm not a crazy ass Spell Slinger like Lex that can still knock some teeth out or capable of making and sustaining miniature black holes with strong-ass psionics like Mystic. Maybe they'll be a better leader than me...

The file transfers soon finished and he soon pulled the USB out before putting it back into its pouch along with the hard drive. Helena could tell something happened before all this went down and she had an idea of what it was judging by how he thinks of himself in the Leader role.

Helena: How many did ye lose?

She asked while Vouge picked up his Minigun and stepped out of the server room. Vouge gave a pretty grim and depressing answer.

Vouge: Who Didn't I lose? *Sigh* It doesn't matter anyway, it's old history.

Soon the building rumbled again as Helena could tell whatever happened to Vouge's previous team was still haunting him many years later. However, now isn't exactly the place to discuss that topic as A, She doubts he's ready to divulge that right this second, and B, The Building is about to Implode in two minutes.

Helena: Let's get outta here and regroup with Y/N and his team. They should be out by now.

Yeah, Vouge kinda felt like smacking himself for getting all sappy at a time like this. But for now, he let out a sigh and decided to kick himself later.

Y/N: Yeah, we need to double-time it before we get sucked into god knows where! Let's get movin'!

On that, Helena can agree with... She doesn't want to have to owe Midnight a favor. So the two quickly ran over to exit, however, it seemed that it wouldn't be That easy as a team of D.D's quickly aimed at them and prepared to fire. However, within the blink of an eye, Helena took out her butterfly swords and leaped towards them like a bat outta hell.

*SLICE!!!SLASH!!!CHOP!!!SWING!!!*

Before they could even fire, they were quite Literally chopped up into pieces. However, that wasn't the end of them as Vouge quickly rounded the corner and saw a whole platoon of Grunt D.D's coming at them. The Gruff Genius quickly whipped out his Grenade Launcher and aimed it at the group.

Vouge: Time to move ya Dirtbags!

*Thump!* *KABOOOOOOM!!!*

Well, that's one way to deal with a shit ton of enemies. Seriously all that was left from that plasma explosion was a smoking creator and zero survivors on the D.D's side. No time for quips thought as both quickly bolted towards the nearby exit and they quickly saw signs of heavy battle...

*SMACK!!!* *Whoosh!* *SLAM!!!*

As a D.D was promptly punched and sent flying into the wall in front of them. They quickly see you frantically trying to get the door open as it was sealed shut while Tilia and Shiva were watching your back.

Y/N: *Mubbles* Come on! How does this thing work!?

Soon after you said that Vouge put his hand on your shoulder and after noticing it was him you quickly stepped to the side.

Vouge: Allow me.

*SMASH!!!*

After he said this he quickly bashed the console and started bypassing it, all while Helena joined Shiva and Tilia to hold off the remaining D.D's. Given Vouge technical aptitude, bypassing this door quickly was a breeze as it soon shot open leading outside.

Y/N: Doors open! Move!

Everyone quickly bolted out as the underground building began to get sucked into the core's miniature vortex. Soon everyone hopped over a nearby log as the facility quickly exploded.

*KABOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!*

Vouge: *Sigh of Relief* Everybody still got all their bits?

He asked while everyone was dusting themselves off as some debris kinda showered them in the dirt a bit there.

Tilia: Yeah, other than the fact I got dirt in my crack and down my cleavage that itches like crazy!

She shouts while itching her... Well, everything. Shiva shrugged a bit as that problem isn't exactly hard to fix.

Shiva: Then when we get back, get a shower. You reeked before getting showered in the dirt.

The Appoplexian Gal kinda looked at her not nervously as you might expect, but with a hint of apprehension.

Tilia: Do you want several dozen towels to be sopping wet and smelling like ten thousand used gym socks?

*Gags at the thought!* Ugh! Gross! *Gags again!* Though Vouge did take note that she wasn't Fearful of the idea. Pretty strange considering that Appoplexians have an instinctual fear of being wet themselves.

Vouge: It's nothin' a black whole garbage can can't fix, but are you really not afraid of water?

Tilia looked at Vouge with a hint of confusion as if that was a ridiculous question to ask. Same with you seeing as you really know nothing about the wider galaxy.

Y/N: Uh... What's that supposed to mean?

You ask in a genuine tone as if you were legitimately confused about his question. Helena glanced at Vouge with a raised eyebrow as she also didn't know what Vouge was talking about. Vouge let out a sigh as he didn't exactly want to explain this right now.

Vouge: Eh, forget it. Let's get back to the ship and wash off. I've got a shit-ton of data to decrypt. Hopefully, there aren't too many digital traps to shift through.

Soon after he stated that the group shrugged it off as a weird question before heading back to the Ship. However, all of them including Helena didn't notice a figure wearing a black trench coat, a S.W.A.T Cap, and a Skull Mask following them.

A Few Hours Later...

Fem A/N: There are a lot of transitions huh?

A/N: We'll there is a lot to go over. Besides this chapter was on the back burner for about half a year and I got some new ideas.

Chibi A/N: *Has a Shotgun* That being?

A/N: *Snatches the shotgun out of Chibi's hand* That being something happening within the Chaquetrix itself.

Chibi A/N: Hey that was mine!

A/N: *Racks a Shell* It "Was" yours...

Chibi A/N: *Looks nervously to the side* Y-yeah it seems like that's the cast.

Fem A/N: So when do I factor into all this?

A/N: *Glancing at Fem A/N with a raised brow* You want to find out the easy way or the hard way?

Fem A/N: *Sigh* I'll find out the easy way I guess.

A/N: Good, because I'll tell you about it at the end of the third chapter.

Fem A/N: *Sigh* Lovely...

A/N: *Slight evil snicker* Let's get back to the story!

In a domain with a theological landscape consisting of mostly blacks and dark pinks as well as a hot pink sky, there were some familiar aliens. Cindi, Terra, and Abbi were exploring the very depths of this unknown territory within the Chaquetrix.

Cindi: I still can't wrap my head around this place... I mean how does someone go about making an entire digital world like this?

She asked while looking around in awe of this incredible feat. She knows her planet couldn't whip up something like this one the fly. If anything, it would take centuries to recreate a fraction of this vast space which is contained in a relatively small watch. Abbi let out a sigh as going into great detail would only delay their current goal.

Abbi: That was the easy part, the hard part was making this subspace inhabitable for all the species in the Galaxy. So many different races require different needs to survive and some were extremely difficult to contain in a subspace to begin with.

She stated in a rather clinical tone as she sat on Terra's shoulder. Said Petrosapian Gal had a bit of an issue with the fact Abbi seemingly hasn't made built-in countermeasures while creating the Chaquetrix as the group looked around for a specific area.

Terra: And you didn't think to make a back door so that the people trapped in her could leave?

She asked with a slightly accusatory tone as some Galvan's have been know to overlooked some small details before. Abbi wasn't exactly offended by the accusation as she's sure anyone with a decent amount of brain cells would be asking that question. But she actually had a reasonable answer to that question... One that was slightly worrying.

Abbi: Of course I did, in fact, I've tried to place Many ways for all of us to escape this prison. But my kidnapper had removed all of them after putting me in the Chaquatrix and changed basically everything around! Not to mention he added more auditions to the species that I haven't even heard of. I have no idea what a Yautja or a Stitch is, but what I read in their bios about their races is a little terrifying.

Yeah, you could say that again... But our Pyronite Gal was a little curious as to what Terrifying meant in this case. Plenty of things are scary in the universe, like the bedtime tale her mother used to tell her about... The Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost is the very thing that created their universe as well as the very thing that will one day destroy it. She's not expecting whatever a Yautja or a Stitch is to top that, but then again it's not Real... In her mind anyways. Also before you ask, Yes I did just copy and paste that. That was way too long for me to remember! *Clear's Throat* Anyway, let's get back to the story!

Cindi: What makes them Scary? Do they warp space and time to their will or are they just creepy looking?

She asked kinda thinking about a certain Ghost like Race. She may have encountered an Ectonurite before while in a dark cave once when she was little, but that's another story for another day. Right now Abbi was about to give her two Very different cases of Horrifying right about... Now.

Abbi: Oh no, both are more Conventionally terrifying. The Yautja tend to hunt dangerous prey Including sapient creatures and they do it for various reasons like Pride and Honor, Proving Themselves, or just to simply keep down the population of a hyper-lethal species. Oh, and they tend to skin their victims as a form of entertainment or when they want to "Play with their Food". As for this Stitch, it's some type of experiment that's made of several dangerous and outright deadly creatures from another universe being smashed together into one small Very chaotic creature. Not only that, but it seems my capture made some modifications to make it even more chaotic and powerful than its original iteration... As well as making it *Disgusted Scoff* compatible for breeding with the person wearing the Chaquetrix along with the Yautja.

Cindi doesn't exactly see how that last bit was possible for Every Alien... Like herself for instance. I mean it would be like sticking a hotdog in a hole made of hot lava, that hotdog is gonna be a burnt pile of ashes by the end of it. Hell, she's pretty sure Terra's species doesn't exactly reproduce the same way as Abbi. *Chuckle* Unless that hotdog was fun sized Cindi doubts it'll fit. As for the two bits... Yeah, those first two sounded like something straight out of nightmares.

Cindi: *Underbreath* Well I'm not gonna sleep well tonight... *Sigh* So how does the Chaquetrix make us comparable with Y/N? I mean I don't see him willing to stick his sensitive bits in something that'll burn it to a crisp.

That's a question Abbi had Many answers to as she was also mulling that problem over when she was captured. Arguably the best and easiest one she thought about was to temporarily turn the one wearing the Chaquetrix into the same species so that way the process was more natural, but her Kidnapper seemingly had other ideas as she was sealed into the Chaquetrix before she could implement that features.

Abbi: I Was going to have the user transform into the same species, but my capture apparently had a different plan. Assuming he somehow spliced all of our DNA with that of Y/N's species, it's not that far of a stretch to assume he also made solutions to the problems I've encountered. I guess they decided to work Harder, not Smarter.

After she said this they arrived at some sort of console. It was way too small Not to be Galvan design as it was bearly tall enough to match the height of Terra's shins. Abbi quickly hopped down off Terra's shoulder before interfacing with it using her floating orbs, along with a holographic keyboard.

Terra: Why did we need to come all the way out here? Didn't we have a terminal back where we started?

That would have been a good point if Abbi's capture, who I will just start calling Jackass for no particular reason, didn't link all the terminals together like they should have been in the first place. For what reason Abbi doesn't rightly know, but it makes logging all the different types of aliens difficult. Hell, she didn't know how many were in here exactly, mainly because Jackass kept her mostly out of the loop when it came to how many aliens are in this thing.

Abbi: Unfortunately whoever decided to muck up my work also decided to make every terminal have its own database rather than drawing for one large one. Seriously, who does that? It would be better if it were all in one system!

She stated with a hint of annoyance as she thought that type of system was incredibly inconvenient. But Terra had a pretty good idea as to why everything was on its own isolated system.

Terra: It'd be more convenient for us if that were the case, but the madman who put us in here doesn't want us getting out. So he decided to keep every vital system completely separate from each other to make breaching the system that much harder and time-consuming. In a sense whoever tampered with your design made it that much harder to get out of it.

Well, it wouldn't be much of a prison if they could get out with a few keystrokes, but Abbi kinda already knew that in the back of her mind. The Galvan Gal was just venting her frustration a bit there as the process of finding a way out was tedious.

Abbi: *Sigh* Yeah, I know. But it doesn't mean it makes it any Less annoying to deal with. Besides, there is only so much-...

Abbi suddenly stopped mid-sentence as her eyes widened upon seeing something on the small screen. Something that both Terra and Cindi can't exactly see from up high clearly.

Terra: What? Is there something wrong?

She asked with a hint of concern as when Galvan's stop mid-sentence it typically means two things. The first one is unlikely, that she found something she could utilize and is able to get them out of there... And the other more likely scenario is that something extremely bad happened. But boy were the two Taller Alien Gals not prepared to hear today.

Abbi: That Crazy Bastard did something I didn't think was possible! It shouldn't be possible! This Madman somehow captured and contained a Celestialsapien in the Chaquetrix!

Terra and Cindi's eyes widened considerably after hearing that, the Former knew how astronomically powerful they were. After all, they often remold the entire universe when they get bored... After they put it into a vote of course. As for the latter, she didn't even believe they existed! Why would she? She wasn't exactly caught up in what the galaxy was like nowadays and she was more worried about home life at the time. Hell she thought Petrosapians were extinct after Vilgax blew up their planet, yet one is standing next to her right now. So who knows what else is contained within the Chaquetrix?

Cindi: I thought they didn't even exist! How did he capture a God?

Yeah, how did Jackass do that? I mean Celestialsapien's are exactly what Cindi said they are, they're practically gods. Sure they have the downside of having to convince two other different personalities to cooperate... This just sounds like Marriage counseling to me, but when you point that out to one of them, they get all offended and try to kill ya. Don't ask how I know that...

Abbi: I honestly don't know. But this makes getting out near impossible if the Chaquetrix was able to contain a Celestialsapien. On top of that, we need to somehow subvert the kill command when our badges are out of range of the Chaquetrix's signal that he implemented after my implantation within the Chaquetrix. *Sigh* Perhaps I can get that Jar Head to help... Actually, I wonder...

She began typing on the console once more to see if Jackass also removed the communicator from the Chaquetrix. Thankfully it seems it was still left within the device completely unaltered.

Abbi: Yes! The communicator is still there! I thought he also gutted that feature too! Alright, let's see here...

Terra and Cindi kinda just watched Abbi do her thing. To be fair it's best to just leave geniuses to do their thing nine times outta ten... Unless they're dubious, untrustworthy, or tend to have accents. That last part Terra had some experience with as she have to save two Galvan numbskulls that accidentally made a mini-black hole. It died out quickly, but if she hadn't saved them, they wouldn't be around today. But while Abbi was doing her thing, Terra tried to spark up some small talk with Cindi.

Terra: So what's your story? Or are you only able to get vague recollections too?

She asked while crossing her arms and raising one of her crystal brows. Cindi glanced at the Petrosapian for a second as she didn't exactly know how to respond at the moment. Mainly because she was still processing the whole situation.

Cindi: I wish I knew, all I can get are small bits and pieces before It all gets hazy. It's slowly coming back to me, but I don't think my past life was as... Interesting as it is currently. Honestly, I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of it. Kinda wishing I was back home right now...

Terra can tell she wasn't exactly experienced in dealing with other species. Hell she could tell Cindi was just an average citizen judging by how she's affected by everything that's going on. The Pyronite Gal had her world turned upside down, that's for sure.

Terra: Hang in there, I'm sure we'll find some way to get you back home. *Looks towards Abbi* I just wonder what happened to mine. I keep trying to ask Abbi or Shiva, but they keep giving me the runaround.

Oooooh... She hasn't heard about Petropia... *Slight Hiss of Uncomfort* That's not good. Terra knew something was up when Abbi and Shiva wouldn't tell her anything. With how Cindi's face turned into a nervous side glance, Terra could deduce what happened.

Terra: It's gone isn't it?

Judging by Cindi's nervous nod, that was a yes. Even Abbi paused for a moment as one of the few scariest things that are more terrifying than a pissed-off Appoplexian is an angry Petrosapian. Seriously, if they're experienced enough just one of them can take on a full platoon of highly trained plumbers by themselves and that's when they Don't kill anybody. If a Petrosapian is fine with a bit of Murder then the walls probably would like an exhibit in an art gallery called "Massicer of Many Species". But Thank god most Petrosapians have a great handle on their temperament(Most of the time...) as Terra, while still saddened, just sighed and crossed her arms.

Terra: Damn it... I must have been imprisoned within this device longer than I thought. Guess that would mean my people are extinct, aren't they?

Cindi was surprised that Terra was taking this in stride, while there was a hint of sadness to her tone, it was also paired up with a calm one. Then again it's pretty hard to piss off Petrosapian's. You'd think having your home planet destroyed would push them over the edge, but no. Of course,e she wasn't personally involved with her Homeworld like a certain bounty hunter. Speaking of which, Abbi at least has Some good news about that whole ordeal.

Abbi: They're still around, though they're considered endangered by galactic law. Efforts are being made to help grow their numbers, but it'll take a few centuries before your people get back on their feet. Even more than that for them to get back to the numbers they had before.

That provides Terra with a bit of comfort as her species are still around, but very sparse. So there is a Chance that her race can come back... Of course, there's the whole "Petrosapian Jesus" episode in Alien Force, but I kinda hate that episode... So I'm gonna do something special here and believe it or not, Doesn't involve reckoning that episode. I'll keep it a secret for now, but just know I'm doing some fun stuff in my brain box and it'll reveal it next chapter. But this isn't the A/N Plane of Existence, so let's continue the story!

Terra: *Sigh* At least there is a chance for my people's survival.

*Beep!*

After the Petrosapian gal said that, the Console quickly beeped which grabbed Abbi's attention.

Abbi: Ah finally! The Communicator is up and running! Wait... *Paused to read for a moment* Groans, but it's limited to a local level...

Both Cindi and Terra looked at each other as if that made zero sense to them. I mean they get what a Communicator is and what Local means, but the Galvan Gal's comment was a little vague.

Cindi: I hate to ask, but what does that exactly mean?

The Pyronite Gal asked with a hint of worry as if Galvans hate anything, it's repeating themselves... Honestly probably applies to everyone to be honest, but Galvan's especially hate it.

Abbi: *Sigh of Annoyance* It means we can only communicate directly out of the Chaquetrix. All commI was hoping to get some support from Galvan Prime, but it seems that Lunatic is one step ahead of me.

This means they're probably on their own for a while as that also means they can't get any aid from the Plumbers either. At least until they can get a better means of communication outside the Chaquetrix. But Cindi had a pretty good idea.

Cindi: You think Vouge could whip something up or allow us to use his own Communicator? The guy seems pretty smart, even though he's a bit obnoxious in my opinion.

She was basing this on the fact he made a stasis grenade along with a bunch of other gear. But Terra chimes in and adds to Vouge's feats.

Terra: He is pretty smart for a gearhead. He made the inside of his ship much larger than the outside using something called a Tesseract. Whatever that is...

The Small Gal didn't seem to surprised hearing about the Tesseract thing as Cindi was as the Pyronite Gal had a really confused look. But while Cindi was trying to figure out how That works like that one meme with the middle-aged woman with all the math equations floating around her, Abbi shrugged and figured if Vouge could really do that then it would be worth a shot.

Abbi: It's better than nothing right now. Let's just hope Azmuth hasn't told him to do something ridiculous.

After she stated this Terra noticed something out of the corner of her eye, but went she quickly looked she didn't see anything or anyone out of the ordinary.

Terra(Internal): Huh... Thought I saw something...

As soon as she turned to look away, an unknown figure peeks around the corner at a surprising speed as their eyes glowed slightly pink in the distance.

A/N: I think that's a good point to leave it!

Chibi A/N: I would say this is a bit of a cliffhanger, but you're planning on releasing this book with three chapters right off the bat.

A/N: Well yeah, but at least it's something to nibble on rather than me just releasing a single chapter and not posting on it for nearly two months.

Fem A/N: I'm just worried about having back problems again... And a sore ass.

Chibi A/N: Shhh! Spoilers!

Fem A/N: Yeah yeah, don't reveal stuff from other books that's way down the line. Look, I'm just saying Y/N's a lot rougher in bed than he looks.

A/N: Well that's because he tends to sense his partners desire's and tries to fulfill them when-. *Get's his mouth covered by Fem A/N*

Fem A/N: *Has a Huge Blush* S-shut up! T-they shouldn't read more of this!

Chibi A/N: *Underbreath* Sounds like someone likes to get dominated by Y/N.

Fem A/N: *Gives Chibi A/N a Death Stare* I heard that you little imp!

*Chibi A/N proceeded to book it out of the room as Fem A/N gave chase with a slipper.*

A/N: *Sigh* Guess she had to get "Some" of my traits... *Clear's Throat* That will be all for this chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I hope to see you next time! Stay Safe out There!

Chibi ???: *Zips into the room with a pink Trail before speaking in a female voice* Bye-bye~!

A/N: *Sigh's like Geralt from the Witcher series* Fuck...

*Chibi Screaming bloody murder in the other room*
