Hide And Seek (Russo-Ukrainian War, 2022)

Therapeutic treatment: Aftermath

Pinkii went home, still worried.

He started squeezing the stress ball he had currently.

He immediately started to feel better. But....

He heard enormous, booming footsteps and the ground shook with heavy amplification.

Soon a dark shadow loomed overhead.

It appeared to have horns....

And CLAWS....

And...

He spun around. Nothing.

Footprints? Nothing.

Suspicious noises? Nothing.

But...

More enormous footsteps.

He then heard snarling.

He heard screaming.

He spun around, frantically.

Any hurt people? Nothing.

Mutilated bodies? Nothing going on.

Pinkii: What is going on here?

He closed his eyes.

Suddenly he felt like he was burning.

He had the sick feeling of being eaten.

He could hear a chuckle possibly coming from Aldebaran.

He saw other people with him, burning and dissolving with him.

He then heard a booming and sinister speech from his Russian captor, Aldebaran; who saw all of "you" as weaklings and snacks.

"You won't make it out alive. You can escape, but you'll die trying. At least you satisfied one request for us...You made a tasty snack. Always remember this, and don't forget it: You were an accident to this world. You were all a mere distraction for our division...For the entire whole of the Russian military. One day, NATO and America will fall. Your country shall fall to our hands, and you will be terminated on the spot. Or you could be prisoners or playthings for us. Male or Female, It doesn't matter. Soon the world will be ours, but we all know it won't be easy. It never had been easy. But, soon the rest of you Ukrainians will soon be howling, "All hail Russia!". Be glad you're meeting your end quickly, because the outcome of this pathetic excuse of a country will be gloomy and withered."

•bro that paragraph was strong and stiff! My very first impression of a Russian soldier! YAY!! I DID A SOLDIER IMPRESSION! LEZZZ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.•

•before the history nerds bust through the door, I know! Russian military equipment is poorly maintained, aged and outdated. (ight not all of them) For some unknown reason by God, I just like picturing Russia as a strong militaristic country AND ITS REAL•

Pinkii opened his eyes as if he woke up from a nightmare.

Any dissolving people? Nothing.

He must've been hallucinating, it was surely a bad one.

Suddenly, a huge enormous umbra overshadows Pinkii...

He turned and looked up...

He looked at his face, barely obscured by the figure's wide chest.

He had purple eyes like the dragon's hide, his fangs stuck out like sticks.

It was Aldebaran. He had come for his snack again.

Followed by Aldebaran, was Vega. A Russian soldier Pinkii knew too well. (Obviously)

Then came Procyon and Deneb.

The brothers' had a growing interest in the Ukrainian.

Pinkii knew their intentions and cowered instantly.

Aldebaran picked him up, and cackled a laugh even the Nazis would fear and he opened his toothed chasm that is his mouth.

Aldebaran: You won't make it out alive this time..

Just as Aldebaran was about to lick his meat off its bones, something unexpected happened.

A pinkish-blue portal formed behind the group.

Suddenly, a woman seen not by anyone before step out of the portal with a smile.

???: No, no... Don't eat the little guy! I've got something for you guys to really chow down on.

The Russian soldiers looked back in surprise and Aldebaran dropped him.

The group blushed in embarrassment. The woman, named Canopus, sweetly kissed each one of them.

Vega: Canopus, what are you doing here?

Canopus: No questions, Vega.

Canopus: I made you guys some food! Just head with me down to your base, alright?

The others glared at her suspiciously.

Canopus: ....It's an entire table of food...

The group wasted no time.

They crammed into the portal, trying to go first.

They went in and the portal closed.

Canopus turned to Pinkii.

She grabbed him and ate him.

Canopus licked the blood of her fingers in delight.

Canopus: Ah, What a snack..

Canopus: After all, our one order was "Slay them all!"...

Canopus: I should gather more of these...So juicy.

She opened a portal and went inside.
