//------------------------------// // Making it even worse // Story: A Metal Man Makes A Good Protecter // by Dr Equinox //------------------------------// Hello there everyone! As you all should know, the reason I have not posted anything in a while was because of my mothers death. While that did in fact happen, I will try to get back to this as fast as I can. Thanks for waiting:) hope this little chapter makes it better. So that went well. Sorta. Not really. Oh you don't know? Well I think I just made first contact with an alien. It was amazing and all, but for some strange reason I could t grasp the fact that I looked like a midevil Frankenstein. Yeah, I think that's what ruined it. Also 'cause I sounded like a whale when I talked. Why I forget these things I will never know. It's probably because my soul just wants to enjoy itself. What a dick. Anyway, back to the situation. Basically it happened like this: I walked out of the water, scared a few of them off, and had a stare down with the remaining one. Then I waved and it and said "Hello" and it came out "BLAAARGU" or whatever. It scared the absolute cracks out of her and she screamed in some weird creature language. I think that means they can talk. Shiiiiiiiiiiit. Well no use just standing here. So I went over and grabbed her face. What? Was that not appropriate for the situation? Hey, in my defense she just started screaming when I got closer so I was justified. I think? Not sure, doesn't matter now though because she's finally quiet. Wait she? Why is she a she now? Maybe I though that because of the voices pitch. Ya know now that I think about it her form is slimmer than the other ones. So she's a she or the guys here are really wimpy. Wait a tic, why is she not struggling anymore? I looked over and was struck with horror. She wasn't moving. I just realized my hand kind took up most of her face. ...did I just kill her? OH NO! Nononononononononononononono! Please don't be dead! I tried to check her pulse, but my giant leather hands couldn't feel anything. How to see if she's alive? Oh I know! I can just take of my helmet and check to see if she's breathing. So I gently laid her body down sideways, undid the clasp that held the helmet to the suit and took my helmet off. And was immediately assulted by the blinding light of a dim cavern. That kinda sucked. And burned. Ma aeyes. Ow. Adjusting to the bright-dimness I quickly got onto both of my knees and leaned down to check her breath....and she's all good! Awesome. I put my helmet back on and secure it. You don't know how thankful I was for that. Now I seem just a little less dangerous. At least it seemed like it. Probably still going to be the same for all the others. Now what to do with this crazy alien lady? Unfortunately this was the wrong time to be contemplating what to do because right as this moment the rest if her freinds showed up. And there was this tall one, looked like a grown up version of the damsel at my knees. Said damsels placement, along with mine I presume, did not amuse the soldier-looking others that were there as well. Probably because this position could be very compramising. Especially for a giant beastie like me. They did not appreciate it. The larger of the group began to approach me, albeit with a little bickering from one of the more defined smaller creatures. The creature had calmly walked towards me, while I stood up to my full height. This made the others tense, but not move beyond that. The larger one did not seem affected by my appearance and gazed at me with a critical eye, unlike the glares that were sent my way by the smaller ones. Now that I think about it they look strikingly similar to horses. We the tall one did, the small ones looked like... I don't know, ponies I guess? Yeah those. And then she talked some weird alien language. Could not understand a word unfortunately. And for that I did what I could. I stood up, backed away from the body, and raised my hands up. I did that and waited. Waited and waited. It felt like hours but it was really about four seconds. Most awkward four seconds of my life I'll tell ya. After that it became even worse. Cause a new guy showed up. Except he was just a bit different. You see , this new guy would change my life forever. He would reunite me with my friends, my sibling, even help me make a new family. But there was one thing that made this guy different. This one thing made him something new in this world. He was a human. Mostly. This ought to be fun.
