a Tale of Parasite [a vs impostor story]

Chapter 1: the mission

[this takes place 2 years after impostor triple trouble. impostor triple trouble is a sequel mod to vs impostor, and it's in development.]

Crystal woke up from your bed with a start, peering near your table. he sat down, pondering on how to spend the day. and then, it hit him.... it's finally time to start his first mission, to hunt down the impostors. he heard stories of them, whenever in a game, or real life, they slaughter crewmates, and some can even shapeshift. in this game he heard, among us, it was made to relive any space attacks that were heard. speaking of the space attacks, in real life, the impostors were once crewmates, until a parasite infected them. if they give in, they become one of the impostors. if they don't, they can gain newfound strength from it. Crystal wanted end all impostors for.... unhappy reasons. he took up mercenary and assassin lessons, and he passed with flying colors. all that's left to do? do your duty, and never back down from it until the day you die. even then, he won't stop. 

he took a look at his hit list. your first target: Xaphan. he heard that they were the first impostor, he heard his slaughters of bloodbath, his genocides on ships and planets alike on crewmates, how he's emotionless... and he eats his victims, and even his own species. 

still, Crystal didn't fear him. even though he was a crewmate, he was also an assassin. a determined, relentless, skilled assassin. he decided if he wants a fight he'll get one. even if he is to sacrifice yourself, he'll do anything to finally end his reign of terror. 

he then finished loading up his ammo. he took his sniper rifle, ready to face whatever was thrown into his path. he was gonna leave crewmates free to navigate a world without parasites. but he knew he had to strike fast. one false step, and it would all be over.

he walked over to Mira, still drowsy, but otherwise active and ready to start the mission. he then walked up, and sat down on one of the seats of the dropship. he was sent to a new planet that was previously undiscovered, Testa. 

he then realized there was a pink crewmate with a pink heart for a hat, as well as blue blush marks. she was shuddering.

''are you okay?'' he asked.

''yeah... sorry, i just suffer from Astrophobia.'' the crewmate said. ''hello, i'm Penelope shifter, but you can call me Pink.'' she then shook Crystal's hand.  ''and who might you be?''

''Crystal. and yes, it's a girl's name, but i'm a boy'' Crystal said.

''i see..... i hope you enjoy it here.'' Pink said. ''want to be friends?''

''sure.'' was Crystal's response.

eventually, the spaceship arrived. Pink breathed, then she walked out, dragging Crystal along. Crystal plugged in his headphones, listening to die in a fire. it reflected his mission to destroy the impostors, and how he believes death is what they deserve.

he walked over to the nearest brick built place, where he layed out all the stuff he brought with him, including his rifle. eventually, he decided to start finding Xaphan.

he loaded his rifle with his best bullets, and carefully, he placed those he couldn't put in the rifle in an ammo belt. he then treked outside the woods of the planet. he walked across the slime, and kept going. 

''whatever you are, i'm ready for you, Xaphan'' Crystal bravely spoke. 

he turned around. nothing. he kept rotating to see if any impostor was near. still nothing.

he simply shrugged, then decided to head back. MIRA, as well as Pink, might realize he is missing. he decided he's gonna continue searching for Xaphan later.

but as he walked, he felt a presence. a luminous red glow filled from the shadow of the woods. Crystal turned. the flash faded. Crystal, regardless, lifted up the rifle, and loaded it. 

he then ran back to the base, but then he tripped. he had still kept his gun to his chest, so he was able to aim it in position. 

the shadowy figure then walked out, bearing a black, goo made sword.

''well, well, fucking well... a rookie has arrived in the crewmates... regardless, they're fate will be sealed.'' it was Xaphan who beared the sword. he was colossal, he was black, he has a red shade of an ice cube visor that was once ice blue, he has a red shaded cone with a white strip, a few veins, and to finish the look, his oxygen bag had a red tube thing. 

''Xaphan.'' was all Crystal said.

''that's me. the one and the only'' Xaphan started as he advanced.
