More damn aliens

In the present day, inside the Vader Corps recovery room, Juzu informed the team that the training rooms were ready. Everyone gathered to see how their essences matched together.

“Taro, about your arm?”

“Don’t worry about it, Dad. It’s healing slowly. I know I'm the last one to be bedridden, but I still want to see the matches."

"There's more to it, Taro. When you came in contact with that spirit, something changed,” Mr. Z explained. Taro felt a shiver down his spine as the Ghost Trigger glowed on the table.

“Spirit? It felt more like an empty void."

“That voice you heard belongs to a spirit from another realm, and they're after you. Taro, there's no escaping it. You have to defeat it.”

“Are they also after the Ghost Trigger?”

“Yes, anything related to you is a target.”

“Why did it even help me with Bombast?”

“Help or not, just look at the cost of your arm. They saved you for their own purposes. That was just a glimpse of their power.”

An explosion echoed down the hallway, and Kel emerged from the smoke, followed by Pai wielding his feather-style sword. A person crawled towards Pai, coughing. “Hey man, are you alright? What happened?”

A girl with orange curly hair and tan desert skin approached Pai. She had dog ears, an unusual sight. Everyone froze, captivated by her purple diamond eyes. “Holy shit, those are real dog ears,” yelled Pai. The girl's hair stood on end. “Yeah, what’s it to you?”

“Nothing, I just... I've never seen someone with dog ea—“

In a split second, a clear zone formed around Pai, and the room darkened from his perspective. Confused, he felt a cut across his face and fell to the ground. He caught a glimpse of two wolf-like eyes before they disappeared.

Pai felt something wet wiping his cut; the room cleared again. The girl licked Pai’s cut, causing him to blush. “Whoa, is this for real?” Pai stammered.

“Your blood tastes pretty sweet,” the girl remarked. Just then, Kel entered the room and nearly tripped over them. “Pai, what’s going on!”

“What? Wait, it’s not me, she attacked me!” Pai explained as Zack Zack continued licking his wound.

“Well, it doesn’t look like she’s attacking you,” Kel observed. The girl licked Pai’s cut again, causing Kel to blush. "Could you not lick him again?"

"Why is he your boyfriend? Sorry, I didn't know."

"Wait... um…No, that dummy isn't my boyfriend!"

“My name is Zack Zack, and you bastard, these are wolf ears. Next time you say that again, I’ll be licking your sliced throat!”

“Zack Zack, cool name,” grinned Pai.

“You don’t gotta tell me; I know it is.”

“You're still doing this, Zack Zack; I told you don’t eat the guest again,” scolded Vanula.

“Did he say again,” questioned Pai.

“I was just testing some new plasma rifle models, but it’s a shit show.”

“Listen, I need you to help these guys fix their damaged spaceship.”

“That piece of shit, I saw you roll it in, that’s gonna take some time. I’ll need to update the entire system.”

“If you can’t handle it, I understand,” smirked Vanula.

“Who the hell do you think you’re talking to? I’m fucking Zack Zack, your best god damn mechanic; it’ll be ready in forty-eight hours.”

“Thanks for the help.”

“Fuck off, it’ll be thirty-six hours now.”

“Wait, I didn’t say anything,” complained Vanula.

Yeah, yeah, leave. I need to focus.”

“Kel and Pai, come with me; we're going to the training room.”

“Look at this, you don’t even have a hyperdrive in your ship, how did you think you were ever gonna travel off world, with no fucking hyperdrive?" said Zack Zack.

Damn, did somebody take it out over the years, but who could it be and why just the hyperdrive,” wondered Mr.Z.

“How long do we have to wait for one?” asked Taro.

“It'll take two months."

"We don’t have the time for that,” Sola interjected.

“Well, you just don’t build this shit overnight. I need a lot of time and equipment.”

“What's the fastest way to get a hyperdrive?”

Zack Zack smiled. “Well, we could steal one, you got any enemies?”

CHERRY VOL.1

One half eroded red bulky scratch craft passes through space, androids and aliens work around the spaceship. A tall gray man sits covering his face, blocking his black eyes and craggy face.

His thick metal mecha arm winks with essence. Why do I gotta search for your fucking brother, Rook? I should’ve killed you myself. Another pink alien walks up. “Captain Rondo, we’ll arrive there in twelve hours…” Rondo swipes his fist, wiping the whole head off completely.

Blown to pieces, green fluid flies. “Did I give you permission to talk to me, but thanks for letting me know.”

“Poor new guy didn’t even last two days.”

“Work harder! I wanna get this shit over with. If Rook is really dead, who took him out? He wasn’t that weak, this is getting interesting. Somebody clean this shit up!"

The door behind opens, and Rondo turns around smiling. Four people stand before him. “Glad you all could join in on this search for Rook.”

“Fuck Rook,” says a woman flipping crimson hair. Clear pale glossy skin cools the cockpit. Her purple eyes could play tricks on any man. Razor sharp talons glue upon her pink gums.

“Miss Rich, you’re telling the truth. I agree.” A black-green snake slides through her breasts.

“Morco, it’s good to see you,” says Miss Rich.

“We need to catch up later."

“Alright, ladies, let’s continue with this meeting.” An Orange haired brick of a man stands with long spiky hair, tan-colored skin racing with brown crawls and eyes.

“Screw off, Spark, you just boiling Miss Rich rejected you.”

“What? Fuck you bastard. Dash, you not gonna step in.”

“Why would I? Not my problem. I don’t wanna be part of your shenanigans.”

Tiny feet build up to the aliens slender body looking like an Olympic track star runner, and thick fur drops down covering the cockpit.

“HAHA! You guys are so funny!”

“What’s so funny, Plug?”

“Can't believe I'm here…Sometimes just standing here makes my skin crawl." Sharp low piney void hair. Red blazing eyes, with one stitched scar split down from forehead to chin upon Plug’s gray skin.

“Did this guy smoke some space rocks?”

“This mission is to search for Rook. If you have a problem with that, go talk to his brother then,” finished Rondo.

Their bodies freeze up just imagining his older sibling. “I don’t think anyone wants him on the ship.”

“No, I think it’ll be fun,” says Plug.

“Wow, kid you really lost your mind didn’t you.”

“Well, haven’t we all? It's gonna happen sooner or later." Plug's eyes shine blood red.

“You’re a powerful person, Plug, but this is out of everyone’s control. He’s hungry for the truth.”
