The young black man named Jayron Oaken had made his presence felt very strongly by the agents working for the CIA. He had some sort of power that controlled them all in ways never seen before. That very power was causing the green alien Takal to run towards danger. Behind him was the red alien named Ous, ready to follow Takal anywhere. Takal didn't have time to look behind himself as he had to face the agents standing in the hallway ready to kill him. Ous didn't seem as sure as Takal was, but he promised himself to do whatever the alien did. Behind them was the second red alien to tag along with them named Wift.
Takal and the aliens met resistance as the agents fought against them. Takal didn't know what was going on. With it just being him and two other aliens, they made the agents look like weaklings. Ous didn't know what was going on himself, as he saw Takal head straight into battle without a second thought.
The battle was getting them knowhere as more agents began to enter the hall. Takal turned to the wall beside him and ran through it. He crashed through every wall in front of him. The only thing he could think about was Jayron. He couldn't wait until he put a scratch on that guy's face.
Eventually, Takal crashed through the final wall that just so happened to be a glass window. He fell to the ground, feeling as though he solved his problem. But that was only in his mind. Takal grunted as he began trying to pick himself off the ground. He turned around and waved down Ous as he began following behind him. He thought he was fine, but he wasn't.
"In all honesty," Ous said as he reached Takal. "I didn't think we'd make it. So what now?"
"Well, I think we should consider running... I don't know what we heard back there but it wasn't good," Takal said. "We have to warn–"
Takal gave out a loud grunt as he looked at his stomach and saw a large piece of glass stuck in him. He had bled out so much that he was already starting to feel weak.
"You okay?" Ous asked.
"I don't think so," Takal removed the glass from his body and tried keeping his blood in his body.
"And that doesn't look good," Ous tried looking away. "'Cause of this we're gonna have to see an old friend of mine."
"What friend?" Takal asked. "I thought you two were the only aliens left on the planet."
"I never told you that," Ous shook his head. "It's not just us. It sure is a good thing we've gotten good at hiding in plain sight. It's the only reason I'm here to tell you about it... it's gonna be alright."
"It's gonna have to be... It's not looking too good for me right now..." Takal was starting to fade in and out of consciousness.
"It's definitely not," Ous agreed with him as he tried stopping the alien from falling.
"It's gonna be okay, right?" Takal asked before stumbling. "I don't think I can handle this much blood loss."
"Come on," Ous tried convincing Takal. "How are you the alien that did all of this and ended up dying in such a pathetic way?"

Ous carried Takal's body all the way to a pawn shop where they would meet the owner of that shop and the alien that could help them both. The owner was surprised to see that Ous was still alive, after Takal's request for their help.
"Great, you're alive!" the owner said to Ous.
"Good thing I did," Ous said, struggling to carry Takal. "Yeah, I need your help... Takal here got hurt pretty badly..."
"I'm sure he did," the owner walked over to Takal and checked to see if he was alive. "Nice of you to drop in with a bleeding man on your shoulders."
"Koeos," Ous called out to the alien disguised as a pawn shop owner.
"But then again, you were never the brightest," Koeos said to the red alien.
"I, we... I need your help," Ous said. "That's the only reason I'm here."
"How did this happen?" Koeos asked.
"How come that's a question that needs answering?" Ous asked. "Uh... Could have been the glass window he jumped through to escape."
"Four hundred years of living and I've never seen an alien impaled by human made glass," Koeos said as he began examining Takal.
"Feels like something that may have happened to me," Ous thought back on his past.
"Yeah, it would happen to you!" Koeos made fun of Ous. "Remember that time you almost shot yourself in the foot with a human gun? You had us all rolling on the floor!"
"Wait, that's how I almost died," Ous was shocked to hear this from Koeos. "Yes, because I almost died. It was funny, but I still almost died."
"No! You couldn't have," Koeos shook off Ous's words.
"Well... I'm glad I didn't," Ous shrugged it off.
"Yes, you and me both," Koeos rolled his eyes.
