"… This isn't… what I expected."
The ship landed smoothly, we got an identity check at the reception desk, paid the entrance fee and got out to the street.
Up to this point everything was automated; slid your identity card here, get a retina scan over there, hold your smartphone over this to pay, everything was done with no human –or any other alien- interaction.
That's why the moment we exited the docks where we left the ship, which apparently is a private aria for each one unlike what you would expect from a space ship ports –or normal ship ports-, the shock came to me with a more disappointed feeling than it should for someone who is out on his first interstellar trip.

Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven.If I had to say myself, with how we stood right now back to back with Lilia having just finishing that swing… no, there is something missing… okay, now it's perfect.I put both hands in my pockets, completing the scene I had in mind. A really badass scene. The blob guy swung at me with his weapon, but compared to the experienced warrior that is Lilia his movements felt way too slow.The bracers on her arms activated in synch with her fast movements and before the blob guy noticed his sword like weapon had already shattered not leaving as much as a scratch on the gauntlet’s surface.Even as a spear wielder Lilia knew more than well how to hit someone with her fists, and going for that ugly face was a choice anyone w

The crowd made it easy for us to pass, splitting up and making a way as I let my extraordinarily beautiful wife take the lead. It was impossible to count how many of the bystanders –both males and females- had fallen for Lilia as she confidently walked by. I on the other hand had to deal with the glares stabbing me like daggers as some envied me for being able to serve such an angel –my position as her aid was set in stone by now- and the rest wondering what the hell I am.We chose one of the second rate hotels to stay in. It was a choice we both agreed on as anything above would be too luxurious for us to relax in. To my surprise though the place we arrived at looked like a five star hotel.The people walking around were dressed well and reeked of wealth. It was then when I remembered that Lilia is the daughter of the wealthiest family on her

Sector twenty one, Planet Rooster, gram city, Seven.This is probably something I had to discuss with my clingy ghost friend a while ago. I don’t know why I kept delaying it until now.When we were riding on the way to this planet I used the ship’s shower which was a small cylinder not larger than the one on Lilia's, because of that all Iris had to do was stand outside until I was done washing. But now that we are in this hotel, the same one we choose based on the fact that it's registered as a second rate lodging, it somehow lit a light bulb in my head.The toilet had a separated door -glad I was able to learn how to use it without help- and the bathing area was behind a second one on the opposite wall. Though It’s only half the size of the bedroom it’s still quite large.

After being hurried by Iris to get done, I spent less than ten minutes showering then got out. I wore the change of clothes I usually sleep in then waited for the ones I took off to clean and dry.Soon after we left to find a place to get breakfast in and for the second time I noticed the thing that bothered me ever since we got to this planet; the crowds of Zesioniens moving around."Is something wrong?" Asked Lilia, sitting across on the opposite side of the table.I let out a long sigh prompting Lilia to ask me that question, and while the answer was obvious I didn't know the best words to put it in."Nothing, really." I answered waving my hand weakly. "It's just... this place is nothing like I had in mind."While it

Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven.Okay, maybe I have been a little too quick in jumping to conclusions; this is an alien planet after all. Although the shopping area was what I may describe as an oversized mall, maybe five or six times the size of any large mall with thousands of shops occupying more space than needed, on the display windows none of the objects I saw made any sense in the freaking least, except for the mannequins dressed in clothes.Like, what is that thing? What does it even do? I can't even read its name or price![That's a vase.] Said Iris. I started to notice her ears twitch a little every time she has something to tell.You gotta be kidding right? How in

Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven. "BEAUUUUUTIFUL!!!! GORGEOUS!!! UNBELIEVEBAL!!!!" "Umu, we will take it." "YES, YES! Thank you!" Said the shop owner, gasping for air while a huge grin let droll leak from her mouth. She was a Zesionien female, shorter than Lilia with a really slim body. She has short dark red hair and a pair of glasses she constantly tries to keep in place. "P-p-p-please… hah… try this too… hah…" She ran around the shop in a frenzy gathering the best of her works, and the one going through all the trouble of trying them on was Lilia. "Eh!?… but…" Lilia looked my way asking for rescue. At the moment she is wearing a

Looking at it now that I'm alone, I can't shake the uneasiness caused by the starry night sky still being visible even with all the illumination in this urban street.It’s meaningless to think about it since I won’t really understand even if someone gave me a detailed scientific explanation, but as I wait for Lilia to finish shopping I had to keep my mind busy or I would start thinking about the blue haired guy. well, at least half of that is true.Remember when I said that the shop Lilia wanted to visit might be one guys have nothing to do with? Well turns out it's a lingerie shop.After the small conflict inside me settled I decided to wait outside, mainly because all of the people inside are females. Something struck me as strange was the multiplicity of races there, even though it's supposed to be a
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 4.6
Sector twenty one, Planet Rooster, Gram city, Lilia.Sometimes I find myself awakening for no reason. My body tells me I had enough and it's about time I start my day, even if in actuality I didn't sleep that much. I never really considered it a bother, but a rule had to be followed in those occasions; to never go back to sleep once my eyes are open and breaking that rule leads to oversleeping.Today I broke that rule, I then woke up to find out that Seven, who was asleep at my right last time I saw him, was now gone. I overslept. I actually overslept to the point that Seven woke up and left the bed.The faint sound the water made came from the bathroom informing me of his whereabouts.It’s the second time this has happened. I felt frustrated, like I had lost some kind of contest, and w

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
