-~Among Us: Two Traitors~-

Chapter 1 | Meteoroids

-~Ebony's POV~-

 Thinking back, if I knew what was going to happen, I don't think I'd ever have gotten a mile radius of that Dropship. Stepping on the Dropship, I was completely unaware of the mess I had gotten myself into... 

______________________

 The Dropship had launched off half an hour ago, and seeing the Earth shrinking into a little dot from a window, I felt a pang of homesickness. This was the farthest I've ever been from my little apartment in Manhattan. When I first signed up for this astronaut mission to the largest spaceship ever created by MIRA HQ, the Skeld, I didn't think I'd miss home so much. After all I had little to call my own. My hamster, Squeaks, squeaked. 

Suddenly the person next to me who was in a cyan spacesuit with a party hat (for some reason) jumped up. "You know guys," Cyan said. "It's getting slightly boring and since we have four whole hours of waiting until we get on the Skeld, why don't we introduce ourselves? I'll start. I'll be called Bubblegum ." 

Bubblegum's dog, which was cyan with a single eye in the middle, barked indignantly. Engineer crouched down to pat him. "Of course then we have my dog, Blueberry. She's a rare breed,  a Polus Teal Fur."

With that Blueberry sat up proudly as if to say, exactly what master said. 

Next was a white astronaut with an angel halo on her head. Clinging shyly to one of her legs was a mini-crewmate. "Hi I'm Allison but my friend, who's obsessed with Bendy and the Ink Machine calls me Allison Angel. But you can call me Angel for short."

Angel gently pulled the mini-crewmate hiding behind her legs at the front. "And this is my sister Rosie. Rosie say hello"

Rosie timidly waved. "Hi" she squeaked.

"Call me Teddybear" Brown suggested.

"My name is Ebony but you can call me Ebony. I'm not a fan of nicknames. Plus Ebony fits my spacesuit colour, black." I said when it was my turn. I pointed down at Squeaks. "And that is Squeaks, my pet hamster."

"I'm Chris but I prefer to be called King." stated Yellow with a smirk and a flourish. 

"I'm Riley" said Red. He then bent down and picked up a writhing mass of green slime with one eye. Almost everyone took a step back. Riley pointed at the blob, "This here is Happy, the headslug." Happy awkwardly waved a tentacle. Riley then pointed to another alien creature on the floor. "And that's Jerome the squig." Jerome squirmed in greeting.

"Umm... Are you sure mons- I mean a headslug and a squig are allowed?" Engineer asked.

"Of course they is! I signed the contact for bringing along pets." Riley said, visibly offended.

"Umm anyway you guys can call me Who." said Purple, changing the subject.

"We can call you what?" King asked.

"Call me WHO not WHAT." Who corrected. "It was his idea," he said pointing at Blue accusingly. "We had a dare to be called the most confusing name. The most confusing wins."

"Call me Not Blue by the way." said Blue. He pointed down at his Ro-Bot. "And that is C0G5123 but call him Cogs for short."

"Okay that's confusing as well." I summed up.

Finally, it was Pink and Orange's turn. "Just call me Carrot and that is my twin sister, Jenny." Orange said. Now that I think about it, she does look a bit like a carrot...

"Call me Cherry" was her sister's answer.

"So when are we getting to the Skeld?" asked Who (it's getting confusing already calling him that).

Engineer entered the small Navigation unit at the front of the Dropship. "An estimated three hours left!" he called back. This was going to be a long trip.

______________________

"We're nearly there! Just thirty minutes left!" Engineer announced. Everyone had been talking to get to know eachother. Now that I knew Happy, he didn't seem half as monstrous as before.

Abruptly, the small spacecraft shuddered. "UNKNOWN OBJECT ON COURSE. PLEASE PUT HELMETS AND OXYGEN TANKS ON. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL." the emergency sirens blared. The lights started to flash red. 

"W-what's h-happening?" cried out Rosie, huddling closer to Angel. Nobody remembered to put their helmets on. Suddenly, what appeared to be a glowing, green rock, crashed through the Navigation unit window, into Bubblegum and into the waiting lobby, where everyone was. Another rock also followed the first one into the Dropship. 

Not Blue started speaking "What in the worl-"

Then panic set into his face as he recognised what  the rock was. "Put on your helmets! It is alienium!"

Not Blue managed to put his helmet on as the 'alienium' released thick, green gas. There was a collective thump as everyone fell on the floor, as if they were knocked aside by an invisible force. My eyelids started to droop as my world went black.
