I Want To Be More Than An Experiment

Chapter 4 Three rings Three crowns

With Ni and San on their way to the cave that Ichi was sleeping at.
San(pov)
San holds his neck where he got bitten by that bipedal reptile. He still scratches that part of his neck. There were no physical injuries caused by that but his mental scars were reopened.

He recollected the multiple times when he and his brothers were to forced to fight other astroyhydra by those stupid humanoids. He had grown thick skin when his brothers fought other hydras but that was different.

It was different however, it was different because in those circumstances he would aleast try to reason with his brother not that they would listen to opinion. But there were times when his opinion was taken, those were good memories in his billions of years of living. In all those times he hadn't felt so demeaned with his brothers as he did with those monstrous creatures.

Ni+san(pov)
He notices his sibling discomfort. He then tries a form a speech to comfort his sibling. He usually would disregard his little siblings opinion but after being used, demeaned, made to do things for those stupid creatures. He had learned some humility from that.

He now knew what felt to be in his siblings place. It was horrible sad, pathetic and things he didn't have words to express it correctly. It made him feel worse that he and ichi had been that to him, without him once not snapping at them for misery.

And him being the one out of the two who hurt him the most just made his speech very awkward for both of them but he will at tried to help his sibling. San mate I might never been the greatest brother to you ? Heck I not even sure I was anything close to a sibling to you ? But I know that your still suffering from everything they did you and we did to you ? I won't blame if you just decided it was enough and left ichi, me and this dumb rock. But listen I want to say sorry for everything that had to go through, it might not remove the pain and suffering we brought to you but it will make it a little more bearable.

San looked at his brother before looking back down before he spoke I understand and accept your apology but as you said it will never change the pain. I have been through but we can both try to actual brothers. Although that doesn't seem likely but I can try.

They both remained silent on their journey back to the cave in which ichi slept. They gradually reached the mountain peak where the cave was at. They looked at the entrance of the cave and see ichi waked up from his nap. He then looks at both of them.

Ichi Ni and San (pov)
So you two are finally back I take it you two might had a run in with these worlds inhabitants. Mate how the hell did you know that ? You weren't even there with us ? Ni asked competely dumbfounded how his sibling knew what happened ? Well you and san remember the strange strange tingling that happened in our body when came here ?

Don't remind me mate I am still having a headache from that Ni says displeased by the thought of those horrible tingles in his head.

Well those tingling feeling that we are receiving in the head were actual indicators of any signs of life on planet Ichi said explaining.

Didn't know we could do that ichi ? said san with uncertainty in his voice. Mate why are we having tingling we didn't have them before ? Ni said in a furious tone.

I am not exactly sure but If I had to guess it would've happened to us because of those tiny bipedal insects, I think they have done something to our minds that now allow us to know if  there any life on planets or not ichi said

Does that mean we are gonna have to hear this tingling sound for rest of our lifes because of those damm insects ni said with rage in his voice.

Well not exactly from what I am seeing it's supposed to tingle for atleast half an hour at best and will most likely happen again if we went to another planet filled with life ichi said unsure about the last part.

Well that's nice to hear I guess san says with uncertainty in his voice.

Well then we leave this pathetic rock and find a planet with no pests ni say in aggravated tone.

As much I would love to do that ni we can't do that ichi says while sighing at his miserable situation.

Why not mate we have the speed and strength to get off these dammed rock do we not ni said trying to make his brother agree to his opinion.

Well we do but if don't want to get captured again we have to stay on this rock Ichi said trying to explan their horrible circumstances they are in currently.

How is that even in possible mate ? Ni asked clearly losing his patience with elder sibling.

Yeah why not ichi ? san asks clearly still having far more patient then his elder sibling.

Well those insects have tracked down us before when were in those planets unhabited far easily then when we were on planets with habited with life. The life on other planets masks our presence from them ichi explained.

So you mean we are bound by this stupid rock ni says clearly not liking the facts said by his sibling. He was mentally swearing and begging himself that was not true but alas even he couldn't ignore the facts ichi said he would've told his sibling that we can fight them off. If it weren't for the fact that he faced them and lost several times.

So does this mean we aren't leaving this planet until it's sun explodes san said already knowing the news that was going to drive his brother insane.

Metaphorically speaking then yes we are trapped ichi said while trying himself calm.

Well that just perfect we escaped a cage only to be trapped in another cage is that correct mate ni says with depressed tone in his voice.

Ichi nods at him throwing away every hopes he had of freedom away.

Well at least we can try to reshape it into something more comfortable san says trying to bring back the mood of tense air.
