Ash finds herself stranded on a alien planet with no friends or family, alone and afraid. Her body crammed into a small cage, one that'd be cruel to a small dog. A identification tag and collar around her neck, on display like some show animal in a auction. When things feel like it couldn't get worse, it does. A large, reptilian humanoid covered in metal armor and fishnets decides that out of all the creatures there, Ash was the one the humanoid wanted...
--------------------------
Ash awoke with a growl, one of the weird creatures who abducted her violently shaking her tiny cage to wake her. She let out a groan of pain, her body felt restless, every joint hurt, various scrapes and cuts infected and blistering.
Her small iron barred cage barely allowed her to raise her head, much less move her body. The uncomfortable collar on her neck itched, the collar leaving a red irritation mark along the base of her neck. A small tag dangling from the iron hoop, numbers imprinted on the tag, a identification number.The cages aligned and stacked on shelving like boxes in a store. Many different species of creatures in each cage, some animals, some other odd alien like creatures, some even looked dead, no signs of life and a uncomfortable rotting scent wafting around the area.
She scoffed as she watched the large creatures that took her into a place like this. Their skin similar to cow hide, thick and almost a wet leathery texture. Covered in long porcupine like quills, long with no barbs. But they were thick, like spikes. They looked like they were at least 7ft tall, most likely taller. Their faces built with a dog like snout, a nose with a dry rubber look. Large K-9s and dripping slobber covered their lips. They walked like a gorilla, but often walked on two legs, like a person.
A large ceramic bowl was dropped right in front of her face. It looked like wet dog food, chunks of shredded grey meat with a odd purplish liquid oozing from it. The think looked barely cooked; it could probably crawl out of the bowl if it wasn't ripped to pieces.
With a disgusted expression, she forced herself to eat the food. Her stomach curling with burning hunger. She couldn't not eat again, she was desperate. Gagging, she struggled to force the slimy meat down her throat, letting out a groan and covering her mouth to stop herself from throwing it up.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Ash fought off the weariness thrashing her body, she felt tired and fatigued. Her head jerking up, hitting the top of the metal cage. A sharp pain racking through her skull.
Just when she thought the day was once again over, laying her back against the sides of the cage, eyes fluttering. The dog-faced creatures came rushing out to the front of the vending stand, eyes staring into the distance.
Ash squinted and attempted to find what has caught their attention, and why they seemed so anxious, their clawed hands squeezing and sweat beading their cow hide skin.
Just over the horizon, a large, bulky figure covered in armor was heading straight to her and the little stand. The dog faced creatures sweating as the large figure approached.
As it drew closer, the figures appearance was more visible. It looked like it had the body and proportions of a human, walking on two legs, arms hung at its sides, a torso, everything.
But it had the skin of a snake or crocodile. Scaley, and dry looking. Its scales where a deep green color with a dirt brown in spots like its palms, stomach, neck, and inner thighs. Its body covered in deep scars ranging in size all over too. It had long, black dread-like hair. It was tubular, in long thick strands, covered in gold and bronze cuffs and what looked to be, bone ornaments.
It had huge muscles, claws, and looked to be almost 9 or 10 feet tall. It was huge, looking like it killed for a living. And with how life has been so far on this alien planet for Ash, it was most likely a killer for sure. It had many weapons on its belt, some looking like knifes or arrows.
It wore worn down metal armor, covered in chips, scratches. and scrapes. Underneath it was a fishnet type netting, covering its whole body except for its neck and above. Its face hidden behind a large metal mask, the eyes on it glowing a soft yellow color. It wore various metal and bone jewelry, some small skulls along its belt as well.
Ash's heart stopped. This thing stopped right infront of the vendors, speaking to them in a unknown language. The only sound coming from it was various growls, snaps, and a bone chilling clicking sound.
Her instincts screaming at her to run, Ash pushed herself as far back as possible into the cage. Eyes cautiously watching the interaction between the aliens.
After a moment, the aliens went quiet, and the dog faced aliens backed away, and the warrior one started looking at and through the selections of creatures it could take. Ash watched as the warrior grabbed two smaller alien animal's cages. Setting them down by their feet and continuing to search before stopping right in front of Ash's cage.
Ash shook with fear, eyes locked onto the glowing eyes of the warrior's mask. Tears welling up in her eyes as she watched the warrior point to her cage and the dog faced aliens slowly creep up on her, tranquilizing gun in hand.
Ash began screaming and thrashing in her cage, desperately attempting to free herself and escape. Hands slamming into the thick metal bars, hot tears rolling down her face as she felt a sharp stab in her leg. She cried out and attempted to tear the small quill out from her leg only to be met with another right into the shoulder.
