Lost On Mercury (rated NC-17)

Chapter 3

Tyler couldn't breathe. Mostly because he was panicky. He couldn't think straight. He couldn't stand straight. His skin was as pale as snow.

"W-w-w-we're on another planet?!!" He shouted in fear. "Dad said he fixed that goddamn problem and now, we're stranded on another fucking planet??!!!"

"Well, I'M used to it." Tyranny said. "I've been to Mercury before. I once tried to take it over before we were ran out by another dictatorshi-"

"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT WE'RE STUCK ON THIS PLANET AND THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THIS ARE THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY FROM US???!!!!" Tyler screamed. "I don't even know how I'm able to talk or even breathe without a fucking helmet. We're FUCKED, Tyranny! FUCKED!!!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Tyranny shouted, grabbing Tyler's shoulders. "We're okay, Tyler. We're fine. We're not hurt, we're not dead. We. Are. Okay. Just take several deep breathes."

Listening to Tyranny, Tyler did take several deep breathes, still wondering how he can do that when they're on another planet. Then, he (only slightly) calmed down.

"Okay... I'm calm." He sighed, still trembling. "But, how in God's name are we gonna get out of here? It's not like Dad built another chamber on this planet or anything."

"You may be surprised, Tyler." Tyranny said, placing her hand on Tyler's shoulder.

"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked. "Dad's never been to space at all before. He's a genius, but he's not THAT smart."

"What I'm saying is that when I came here to, you know, try to take over this planet, I found an old rusty teleportation chamber sitting at the center of the planet." Tyranny said. "I'm not sure if it still works or not, but if we get there and try to fix it up, there's a chance that we may be able to return to Earth." Tyler just stared at her with a perplexed look on his face. He didn't know if she herself was a genius or just straight up insane.

"..................Well, if there's really a teleportation chamber, let's go look for it." He said. "But, how are we gonna find it? We don't have a map or anything?"

"Well, since I've been here before, I know my way around Mercury." Tyranny said. "Just stick with me and we'll be back on Earth before you now it." Tyler let out a loud sigh. He was staying with the martian of his dreams as well as a slut. He didn't know if he should be happy or angry. But, he had to get back home.

"...............Okay." He finally said. "Let's go find this chamber and get the fuck off this planet."

"Maybe your Dad has a point." Tyranny said. "You shouldn't be swearing."

"How did you-?! Nevermind..." Tyler sighed. "Let's find that chamber."

And so, Tyranny and Tyler's journey to the middle of Mercury begins. They make their way through the hot lands of the small red planet keeping themselves with determination though Tyler is still a bit high strung from being on another planet when he has remained on Earth all his life. But, he's staying with Tyranny since she knows the way and he tries to have some self confidence. Even though he thinks the self-confidence isn't gonna come to him.

An hour later....

Tyranny is panting with sweat dripping down her body as she and Tyler, who is also sweaty, make their way across the hot planet.

"Dear god, I don't know if I'll live long enough to even SEE the chamber on this godforsaken planet!" Tyler gasped, collapsing to his knees. "We're gonna die alone! Nobody will fucking miss us!!"
