This chapter fought with me. Also didn't upload last week because april fools sucks and I try to avoid doing updates on it.
"Why is the human still here?" Viktor questioned, eyeing the strangely armored human.
"I do not know," Kraab answered, glancing at the human. Benwolf was the closest to the human, but he was just staring back at it. Tetrax elected to ignore the creature and focused on making sure anything that could still be used from the Anurian ship was taken. The human was by the entrance of Tetrax's ship, silently observing the four of them.
"Let's hope he leaves soon, then," Viktor grunted. The computer released a series of beeps, causing Kraab and Viktor to look over. Kraab came up to the computer, staring at the screen for a moment.
"I can't read Petran, what does it say?" Viktor asked.
"A communication request from... Vilgax," Kraab answered. "Get Tetrax." Viktor quickly bolted and Kraab did not blame the Transylian one bit for doing so.
After a few moments, the human- was the human's name Animo?- looked towards the outside, then Tetrax walked through the door. The human began to mutter in his native tongue as Tetrax came up next to Kraab.
"Well, shatter," Tetrax grumbled. "You know how Vilgax is." Kraab hummed in reply, then accepted the request. The screen changed to a view from a camera, showing Vilgax in a place with a strange metal background. In the bottom right hand corner was a straight line.
The line warbled as Vilgax commented, "Took you some time..."
"What do you want, Vilgax?" Tetrax asked.
"I have a... request," Vilgax said.
"By that you mean a demand," Kraab commented.
"Call it what you want," Vilgax replied. There was a pause. "What in the name of Ei'lor is that?"
Kraab and Tetrax looked at the human by the door, who had turned to look at them. "A human," Kraab answered, looking back at the screen.
Vilgax's eyes narrowed, but he stayed silent as Tetrax turned back to the screen. Tetrax asked, "What is your demand?"
Vilgax looked at the Petrosapien and answered, "Come to the coordinates I will send you. If you don't come, well..." Silence followed.
Kraab and Tetrax looked at each other, towards the screen. Tetrax silently nodded while Kraab did nothing.
Vilgax seemingly grinned, then the connection was cut.
Tetrax growled, then looked at Viktor. "Is there anything major you know survived we need to take?" Tetrax asked.
"Everything that we need to take has already been collected," Viktor answered. Benwolf looked over.
"What's happening?" Benwolf asked.
"Vilgax," Kraab, Tetrax, and Viktor all answered.
"... Oh," Benwolf blinked. "That's... not good, is it?"
The human said something and Tetrax did not bother to mentally translate it.
"Anything we might need is already in the ship, so get ready to leave," Tetrax stated. Benwolf stood up as Kraab walked to an open archway and Viktor to a seat that lined the walls. The human flinched and scrambled into the ship as the hatch began to close, Tetrax followed Kraab, and Benwolf took a seat.
The human looked at them for a beat, the bolted to a seat as the ship made a noise signifying its activation.
Within a few moments, the ship began to fly.
