This color was ingrained in the young Astrolian's mind. Forever etched into his very soul...like a language he can never forget, a trigger that he'll always have, and as the uncomfortably but still comfortable black hole devoured him......Void......
Astro's P.O.V
"H-He's waking up! Guys! I think he's waking up!" Who's screaming? I thought of that as I begin to open my eyes...
"Woah, he's got so many cuts, bruises, and scars." Someone remarks, "I wonder what happened to him- OW!" they suddenly get pulled back I think? My vision is blurry.
"Enough. Lord Kakuen, this child seems to have woken up, what do you think we shall do with him?" Suddenly, a figure then approached me:

"Settle him down in our village, take care of him and his injuries, then question what he was doing before, and how he got here." The figure says, getting even closer to me.
Then, another monkey-looking person spoke up. "Huh? Why are we even paying attention to this kid? He looks like such a weak, fragile, submissive, and pathetic kid. He seems to be letting out his last breaths as we speak!"
My ears perk up.
"Looks can be deceiving, Apetha. But, right now, let's just take him back and- oh? There we go."
I wasn't looking to stay and see what they'd do to me. So, I bolted through the jungle. Though, I don't know where I'm going. I trip, get hit by branches, get up, but anything is better than what they were planning on doing!
Oh no...are they also apart of them? I should've known! I gotta get outta here!
"Heeeeeeey~ Little Preeeeeeey~~ Come back! We were only just trying to play! Hehe~"
What the hell!? How were they catching up with me!? Oh, it must be the tail, yeah. Well then, I might as well try something.
I turn around and see 5 OF THEM hopping from tree to tree to get me. I push my bloodied hands into the ground, summoning a giant purple-ish blue wall.
"What the what!?"
"What is that!?"
"It's so bright and shiny!"
"So magnificent!"
"Beautiful!"
All 5 of them are stunned, long enough for me to drop a smoke bomb to the ground that makes me Vanish in Smoke.
I snap my fingers in sync with the bomb's impact to the ground as I smile. "There! Now I gotta go-"
"Having fun back there?" Before I can fully vanish, I hear a voice.
"Wha-" faster than I can see, I'm tackled and pinned to the ground, breaking my soon-to-be invisibility.
"Well?" She smirks." Break out of this hold."
"With...PLEASURE!" I struggle her off. She's budging, but it's not enough.
"Aww! Mad that you can't fully get me off you? Hmph! Pathetic little boy...but, that just makes me want you more." She then gives off a devilish grin.
What monsterous strength does this person even have!? And why are they talking like this!? We just met for Astromia's Sake! "Umm..."
"Hmm...? Something to say, prey? Gonna try something? Go for it." She says in a mocking and teasing tone, smiling the whole way, adamant on the fact that I can't leave her grasp.
"Well...what do you call that thing you do when you close and open your eyes?" She looks confused, unsure of the question and the answer.
"A...blink?" She tilts her head inquisitively.
"Correct, darling! A BLINK!"
I teleport right above her and snap my fingers, her wrists and ankles became trapped in materialized purple-ish blue bands. "Ha! Those bands weigh about 100kgs, how will you get out of this one- AW MAN! WHAT!? HOW ARE YOU EVEN DOING THAT!?"
This person is just brushing off the bands! SHE'S LITERALLY JUST USING THEM NOW AS AN EXTRA CHALLENGE TO GET ME AT THIS POINT!!!
"Heh, look at me. What are these bands? They're kinda heavy, it also feels nice and could be used for training. You trying to tame me? Cuz that's my job, hehe! Anyways! Shall we continue, prey~?" She strikes a pose after talking.

God, I don't have time for this. I try to assume a Muay Chaiya stance, but I'm so weak and my vision is blurry from the severe blood-loss that I just weakly get in the stance, fidgeting. "B-Bring it!" I weakly dash and jump in the air, getting ready for a sea-crashing axe kick.
She simply backs away and smiles, I come crashing down to the ground in pain because I land on nothing to break my impact. "God-fucking-dammit, man! I...I can't keep this up..."
"Huuuah...? You're just giving up? Just like that!? Come on! Don't you wanna try and test this a little bit more!?" She materializes a staff, getting ready to fight. "It'll be much more enjoyable to beat and break you into submission when you're begging me to stop, but for you to just give up like this, there's...there's no fun!
I growl in anger and frustration, my eyes turning into a color and design that is indescribable and if anything, scary. Almost like I wasn't tired, I stand up. "Can't you see that I'm already dead basically! I don't have time for you, and I most certainly don't have to deal with this nonsense while I have the Galaxians to worry about- Owh!
3rd Person P.O.V
The young Astrolian falls to the ground, struck on the back of the head by Apetha. "Hmph, you talk too much." Apetha says, she then looks at his opponent. The banded Kakuen was shocked, but quickly regained her composure when Apetha looked back at her.
"What are you standing around for, Apathlia? Come on, let's pick him up and go." The banded Kakuen shook herself back to reality and picked up the boy.
Unbeknownst to the group on the ground, their leader was sitting high on a tall tree, surveying everything.
"Hmm...first the wormhole and pre-existing injuries, now those eyes. This kid may be more interesting than I thought. Guess there's only one thing left to do~"
