Sector twenty one, plane Gorgola, Lilia’s space craft.
Although it looks quite small from the outside, the craft's interior is comparatively spacious. It’s clean and well organized, you wouldn’t be wrong to think it was assembled recently. In fact it’s too clean for something that crash landed from space. How is this thing still intact?
“I will make something for you to wear.” Lilia said as she walked to the back. “You can’t sleep like that, right?”
“That’s… something we can agree on.” I’ve been walking around like a pervert for a few hours now. I don’t want to ruin her impression of me any further.
“The night is cold too, you don’t want to get sick.” In one of the corners was a glowing ring about two feet in diameter. She pointed at it and told me to get inside.
“Stand here, then take that off.”
Not like this, a woman telling you to strip shouldn’t feel like this… thinking that to myself I went and stood where she said. Not long after I understood why my blond companion showed little reaction when telling me what to do.
The ring glowed a faint green light then a second later hexagon shaped small panels came down from the ceiling connecting and forming a cylinder around me. I can’t see through the thin wall of hexagons so I assume Lilia is the same.
I ignore the cell like feeling this tight space gives off and slowly remove the cloak which was my only cover.
“Umm… is this a changing room or something?”
Startled by a sudden noise behind me I turned around. The small hexagons had retracted leaving an opening in the wall. From it a small box was pushed halfway inside.
“That’s the shower, actually. Put the cloak in the box behind you.”
I did as she said and the box was pulled back two or three seconds later, after which the opening closed. So this is a shower huh… well, this is a space ship after all. Kinda makes my heart pound. It doesn’t have anything to do with standing naked in a girl’s house. It definitely does not!
“Do I get to wash myself?” I said as I tried to distract myself from the slow awakening of my meat pole.
“Obviously. Didn’t you notice the stench coming from you? You smell like a mummy.”
Gagh!!… that hurts. Do I really smell that bad? I didn’t notice at all. Why didn’t she say anything until now? Her tone was calm when she said it, was she so disgusted that she became unable to express emotions? She wouldn’t have stabbed me with that statement if she was trying to be considerate.
“I will open the water now, alright?”
“Okay…”
It was at this moment that I realized I let my guard down.
“Wai- GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Huh!? W-w-w-what’s wrong!? Why are you screaming like that!?” As I screamed at the top of my lungs Lilia seemed to have lost her composure.
“HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!”
It burns!! HOT HOT HOT HOT toooooo HOT!!!! My skin! I feel my skin melting off!!!!
“Wait… b-b-but it’s the temperature I usually use! I-is it really that hot?”
This isn’t the time to ask for my opinion! The water, or whatever liquid this is, it’s inhumanly hot! Scorching! Burning! Is this torture!!? What did I do!!?
Lilia already got an idea of what’s going on from all the struggling and slamming happening inside the hexagon patterned wall. The water -or whatever liquid this is- slowly decreased in temperature until it reached a rather lukewarm state.
“Haaaaaaaa~~~” I wished she would pour something cold on me now that my whole body was burned, but this is fine.
“Um…uh… how should I say this… sorry….” Lilia apologized from beyond the wall. Damn it! I wish I could see the expression she’s making right now. Her voice had concern in it, this is the first time a girl got worried for my sake!
“Nah… I think I overreacted that’s all.” Nice, now she will think you are a wimp. Way to go, me “I’m impressed you can actually handle something like this.”
Now, let’s clarify a few things.
Lilia, the alien girl with white -slightly rosy- skin, long blond hair, blue eyes and amazing body, not to mention the horns growing on both sides of her head, is able to withstand water of that temperature. She is far stronger than her human counterpart.
This isn’t a simple coincidence of meeting a really cute cosplayer. She is as powerful as she is beautiful. Carrying that knife spear thing should already give you an idea of what would happen when, let’s just say she becomes displeased with my behavior.
No no no no, NO!
Forget all those things about her being the first addition to my harem and how I could win her over. I have to make sure we stay on good terms and not to do anything that might anger her.
“Are you done yet?” Her voice interrupted my train of thoughts. “I’m cutting off the water, okay?”
“Yeah, I’m already done”
She kept calling it water but I don’t think it’s only that. There are bubbles at my feet so it probably has something that resembles soap in it, though it doesn’t look like I will have to wash it off.
I hope this alien shower won’t cost me every strand of hair on my body. The used water was drained soon enough, that’s when I noticed a glowing icon on one of the hexagon shaped panels. And you know, icons exist to be clicked.
Have you ever heard of the term a storm inside a flask? Well, that is precisely what’s happening now. A storm of hot air blew from both the floor and the ceiling simultaneously throwing me off balance. No head injuries were caused by this.
“I was about to warn you of the drying system.” Lilia said. “No one really uses those.”
If the air pressure is enough to lift me up something like this belongs in an amusement park instead. Though the safety issue is a big concern.
Man, I suddenly feel like drinking some coke…
Where did that come from? Anyways, some coke would be the best right now.
Coke, huh… does it even exist outside earth?
“Hey… Lilia, do you know anything about how the situation on earth is like right now?”
Following my question was a brief moment of silence.
“… Lilia?”
“Ah! sorry, did you say something?”
Was she spacing out just now?
“I asked if you know anything about earth…”
“Hmmm…” she took her time thinking about it, but the answer wasn’t worth all the wait.
“If by earth you mean the human home-world, then I don’t have a clear idea. it’s too far from this sector so there isn’t much contact between it and Zesion.”
I think I’m really, really far from home. That’s what I always wanted though, right? I wanted to end up in another world, this is another world, so it should be fine. But is it? There appears to be an earth somewhere out there. Should I try to get there?
Just thinking that alone made me feel like I want my normal life back.
Just kidding.
After I was done with the shower Ms. Alien began scanning my body looking for any abnormalities.The tube-like space was no simple shower room. It can be used to perform a full-body scan and detect any internal ailments or injuries.So that’s what the boiling water was about, huh? You don’t know what germs and microbes might be sticking to something you found on an uninhabited planet. Better sanitize it just to be safe.I guess that’s another reason as to why she kept her distance from me. Definitely not because I smelled nasty.The scan also took my measurements. Apparently, the ship has yet another sci-fi device that can make clothes out of raw materials you could collect outside. It disintegrates said materials to their base components then uses them to make the fabric for the clothes.The clothes themselves are top quality as far as I know. The problem is they would seem strange as casual wear by human standards.Ms. Alien took it upon herself to make something for me to wear, but
What little memories I had told me I never was the kind of guy who did his business in the woods on a regular basis. It was a truly novel experience, though something told me it would have felt entirely different if we were back on Earth.Finally done, I covered the abomination I spawned with some dirt then washed my hands. The sanitizer mixed in the water stung a little, showing that it was much stronger than I had expected.When I returned to the camp, I saw that Ms. Alien was preparing to go out. She said the morning was the time she used to gather fruits since the most dangerous beasts were still asleep.When I asked why she doesn’t store some instead of gathering them every day, she explained that she only does that when making the rations.Apparently, despite being uncharted, Gorgola housed animals and vegetation that could be found on other planets in the same star cluster. One theory is that most of them were brought there during the attempts to study the planet, which ended up
With no phone or watch I had no way to tell the time, but by my estimations, at least an hour had passed before Ms. Alin returned.Too busy contemplating my existence and missing memories, I didn't notice her until she stood in front of me. It was only then that I saw the strange object she was carrying in both hands.“Umm… what is that?”If I had to describe its appearance, I would say it's a watermelon shaped like an apple. I guessed it was some type of alien fruit, but when I looked at Ms. Alien for confirmation she appeared as confused as me.“This? According to the catalog, it’s a papaya.” She said with a straight face.Of course, that thing didn't look anything close to a papaya if you ask me.“… it seems… different from what I remember,” I commented while rising to my feet, still trying to understand what part of that was the papaya."I saw it for the first time when I arrived here, but I can confirm it is a papaya." She took a step in my direction. "Though since it's still raw,
“You... don’t remember anything!!”Surprise, shock, bewilderment. Those were the emotions that flashed through Ms. Alien, through Lilia's azure eyes. She was stunned for a while, her gaze locked on me as if expecting to be told the entire thing was a joke.“Well, there are things that I remember but…” scratching the back of my head I couldn’t help but look down. “Most of it isn’t of much help.”“You don’t remember your name?” She asked.“No.”“And where you are from?”“I have an idea, but...”Knowing I'm from Earth wasn't of much use. I don't even know if that's what aliens call it.“Any people you were close to? Your family or a friend or…”“No one comes to mind.”They have probably been dead for centuries now. That depends on us being in the same universe, though.“What do you remember then?”“hmm…” I looked up to the sky and tried to collect my thoughts. “I remember having a really bad day and...I almost got killed… oh, and I can recognize my face so I'm most likely still the same p
The conversation seemed to die down after my unintentional flirting attempt. That only fueled the embarrassment tormenting me, but looking at Lilia, I got the feeling that she didn't read too much into what I said.As I struggled to come up with anything to say, Ms. Alien, Lilia, suddenly got up."I will be going back to the ruins." She said. "Would you mind remaining here till I'm back?"My mind cleared at that instant and my head shot up."The ruins?"By "ruins" I was sure she was referring to the underground structure she found me in. There was simply no way I would stay behind while knowing she intended to go there."I'm coming with you."I tried to come across as determined as possible, but that only seemed to bother Ms. Alien, seeing that a displeased expression took over her face."I... don't know about that..." She said.I gazed at her for a couple of seconds, not knowing how to respond. I highly doubt that those ruins have anything that would help me regain some memories, but
“Um… uh… are you alright?"“I... I don’t think so…”Lilia's concerned voice reached me from the side, but despite my desire to see the gaze she graced me with, I could only respond weakly without raising my head, walking in slow steps while barely keeping track of my surroundings.We had to cut the ruin exploration short soon after investigating the room I woke up in.The broken pods and the metal plates inscribed with the words "Original Human Sample" were enough hints that something messed up had happened in that place but I still failed to grasp the extent of what awaited us.I caught a glimpse of Ms. Alien's shadow as she increased her pace so she would be walking ahead of me. I guessed that I was straying away from our chosen route which is why she was trying to subtly guide me.“I understand how you feel, but... let’s not rush to conclusions, okay?" She spoke in a much gentler tone than before. "There must be some logical explanation behind it…”The room beyond the one with the p
Born from earth and to earth shall return.Three days had passed since we found that cursed room. Lilia and I spent that time digging graves for the three hundred nameless children and the eight adults.I didn’t feel morally obligated to bury each one of them separately yet I did it anyway. I was the lucky one to have survived, and I just hated the idea of treating toddlers as a failed experiment. Some of them might even be my own clones or offspring, that was one of the speculations I didn’t want to think about.A graveyard had formed in such a short time. I stood there looking at the stones I placed to mark each of them. I think I understad why cloning was considered an unethical thing to do.“Did I tell you about it?” As I spoke my voice felt a bit dry, but I wasn’t about to shed any tears. “The last thing I remember before meeting you was me getting
At the end of the hallway we found another intersection. The plates that seem to show directions had faded long ago and without much to base our decision on we picked the right again.We arrived at a large gate that was left half open, after walking beyond it we arrived at another room. This one had boxes, many of them stacked on top of each other, and on each of the four walls are…“… Are those… weapons?” I said as I observed what I could only call a morbidly designed sword.Is this the armory or something?Lilia went and opened one of the boxes.“There are more inside…”Double edged swords, spears, lances, katanas, great swords, knives, hammers, scythes, axes, shields. They all had a little scienc
I went to take a shower and after I got out I ran into Logan. He was surprised to see me, thinking I wouldn't be up for another few hours.He was holding Blue in his arms. Apparently she was playing with the other kids and fell asleep at some point so he came to put her in her bed. [This kid…]A third candidate, huh…Iris doesn’t seem to like Blue a lot. From the photos I saw and how Lilia described her I can see the similarities, and now that she has cat ears and tail instead of the Zesionien horns, Blue certainly looks like a miniature version of her.Blue reminded Iris of her childhood, and not in the pleasant nostalgic way. What made it worse was something Hir said after my speech.Blue told Lilia that she saw a ghost following me around. That shocked the both of us, but Iris felt frustrated that she never noticed she was being watched, and by a kid nonetheless. Blue was rather talented at hiding her presence, she even managed to steal my book right before our eyes and escaped wh
Sector twenty one, Gorgola’s, Tiga One, Seven.My eyes slowly fell on the somewhat familiar ceiling. The room was shrouded in a weak light and a weird smell wafted in the air."Mm…"The feint breathing sound reaching my ears brought to my attention the weak pain I felt on my chest. Lifting my head to investigate its cause I saw a ball of messy hair with what looked like horns coming out of both sides. One of them was pressed against me, that was the source of the pain."How can she even breathe like this?"Lilia was fast asleep. Seeing her like this makes me wonder if my chest was that good of a pillow. I moved aside the strands that covered her face, carefully stroking her hair. As I ran my fingers into it enjoying how silky it felt I breathed in relief and couldn't help but smile. Our naked bodies exchanged heat underneath the thin blanket. Lilia was so soft and warm. When she is sleeping beside me like this I sometimes forget about the fearsome warrior she was. This is my beautifu
Seven looked at his right hand, soaked wet after it made Lilia climax. The female Zesionien was gasping for air. She looked at him with moist eyes, her breasts moving a little with each breath she takes. Strength had left her body long ago and all she could do was accept his kiss before he gave her a moment to rest."We are just getting started yet you are already like this?" Seven said with a teasing smile. He took the blanket that was pushed aside and used it to wipe his hand."It's because… haa~… it's because you did that… ha~h...""Well, Lilia is so cute I simply couldn't resist." He went down and kissed her once more. "I want to do more… ah! I almost forgot…" He extended his hand to the wall on his left and tapped it twice. A small rectangular panel, green in color, appeared at that spot. It listed a few things; the temperature, the light and the door lock. However what he was looking for was the option to turn off communications so no one could bother them from that point on.
Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, Tiga One.In her room, Lilia sat on the bedside looking somewhat nervous. She tried to calm herself taking one deep breath after the other, but her heartbeat refused to settle, and her body felt incredibly hot.Well, the heat shouldn't be a strange things considering she had finished showering a couple of minutes ago, but instead of cooling down her temperature just continued rising.I-I have to calm down, I can't let this go on!Just when the banquet was nearing its end Seven decided to take his leave. Thinking it was time to get some rest she was about to do the same, but when she rose to her feet Seven wrapped his arms around her and lifted her in a princess style carry. Those who saw it were numbered, with everyone in that place either snoring or too drunk, but she still felt the embarrassment of a crowd watching her being taken away knowing what was about to happen to her.Seven was perfectly awake. Not that sleeping for days enables him to st
Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. The plan went through smoothly. There were a lot of details to go through, but for now Seven declared that it was time to celebrate. Such huge gatherings always called for a banquet. Food and drinks, music and dancing, then some crying and tears.It was a long journey that had finally come to an end. The whole clan went through a lot, and now that they’ve finally reached their end goal they could step back and get some well deserved rest.The Herara partied for hours on end, stuffing themselves before laying down and surrendering to slumber. The conference room was turned into a great hall. It was the center of the party, but now that the music had stopped and the laughter ceased, only a few heavy drunkards were still up while the rest dropped in their place snoring."Been a while since I've last seen this." From atop the stage Hir watched the satisfied expressions of his clan members, holding his cup with a drowsy lo
When they arrived back to the ship Hir summoned all the captains and the high ranked individuals to make the announcement, but he was surprised to find that the conference room was already full.Their patience had ran out. First they hear that the clan head was defeated, then that their goal was within reach. Three days passed and all they got were those two vague sets of information, and while still in the dark they were led to a place they never been to before.The higher ranked clan members were the ones who rallied the crowd to demand an answer from the head. The respect and fear they felt toward him were gone now that they know he lost to someone in a duel, and the longer they had to wait the more destabilized their loyalty became.Hir got on stage and gave a few words to introduce their new leader and as expected, he got quite the backlash. It's the first time they hear about such thing so reacting this way is perfectly normal. There were those who watched the duel between Seve
Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. After it was decided that the Verta clan would be taken in by Seven they immediately set course for Gorgola.They had to call the ZSFCO and ask commander Blitz to order the retreat of the Zesionien forces that came in to intercept them. Though the old man demanded they give him an explanation later on it seemed he was convinced that things would turn out okay.The strain of the fight against Hir ended up affecting Seven more than expected causing him to stay in bed for the entire sixty five hour trip, and with a lot of explanation yet to be done a heavy atmosphere spread through the whole clan.Seven ordered Hir to not tell anyone anything, especially when it came to Iris. As expected, with such a giant battle happening right above their heads the clan members had quite a few questions to ask. Most of them watched their leader lose to a prisoner so they were worried, but their heads were cooled down temporarily when Hi
Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. "Hmm…" Stroking his nonexistent beard, Seven thought to himself. Public speech huh, I don't think I have considered this seriously…"You can spit energy blasts from your mouth yet you can't say a few words in front of people?" Iris being Iris, she started making fun of him the moment he got cold feet.People I won't be killing, that's an important part. Besides, I don't think they have a very positive image of me…In the conference room, which is really just a big empty hall that could fit a lot of people, Seven stood in front of a large crowd.Most of them were the fur covered tiger faced male Herara, looking like what space pirates should look with scary eyes and scars here and there, but with not a single smoker in sight they felt more like a censored version for a kids show.Those were the captains of each ship in the clan's fleet. Two hundred was a big number, some of them brought a few guys from their crews, add
Sector twenty one, the Verta clan’s mothership. "I have finally found you, my lord." Hir said, his head lowered respectfully. "…. Did I fray your brains or something?" Seven replied, one of his brows rising up. "No, I'm in perfect condition both mentally and physically, my lord.""... I don't remember you hitting him on the head. Did you do it while I was knocked out?" Iris said, her head tilted slightly. I… don't know…The fight was done. Rather, if it went any further the ship wouldn't be able to hold. When Hir went down on his knees Seven expected him to admit his defeat, but instead he said something outrageous.‘I have finally found you’… Is he talking about… Seven thought."Nah… there is no way…" Iris added with a weak smile.Seven and Iris already understood what lord he was referring to, and they knew he wasn't exactly wrong. Lilia and Logan were in the dark on this one so they silently waited to see how Seven would react."Anyways, this means you surrender right?" Seven
