"The new normal" (Kaiju Paradise story)

Chapter Six: Violence.

The humans stared at the saber with a mix of curiosity and nervousness.
"That's a...."
"It's one of those dollar store brand lightsabers!"
The second human bursts out with a nervous look.
"There's only like, three or four of em!"
The guy exclaims again.
"Yeah...because they were only for the best of those in combat...which means-"
The first one says suspiciously before being interrupted by his friend.
"Oh cmon, that Hazzy probably just found it somewhere, I doubt it even knows how to use it, all of em are dumber than rocks anyway!"
The second guy says with a dismissive wave of their hand and a doubtful tone.
Owen and the other Gootraxian waited awkwardly as the two humans bickered. The Gootraxian got up and hid behind one of the shelves nearby and watched if the three would begin a fight.
The two humans noticed that the other Gootraxian seemingly left and got upset.
"Dang it! The Catte ditched before we could kill it!"
"Hm, nice observation-NO SHIT SHERLOCK!"
"Oh? Well FUCK YOU WATSON!"
Owen, feeling like this was going nowhere, decided to leave before a fight did occur, only to feel a sharp pain across his back as he turned to leave, flipping back again to see that the one with the sword had sliced him in the back, and the sword now dripped with a tiny bit of goo on it.
"Oi! Who said anything bout you being able to leave, eh?"
The human says mockingly, preparing for another strike while the other started making their way around to attack from behind.
Owen looked between the two, prepared for which one would begin the attack first. The scythe guy charged first, followed shortly by the sword one. Owen blocked the scythe and narrowly dodges the sword that was about to make another slice across his back, stumbling over his feet for a moment before gaining his footing again. Owen dashes at the sword weilder, only to be countered by the scythe and sent back to the wall behind him.
"I can already tell this teamwork of theirs is gonna get annoying real fast..." Owen thought to himself observing the two as they began approaching again.
The scythe weilder attacks first, swinging the scythe towards Owen, which he ducks under and tries to use the opportunity to attack, only to be sliced again by the sword weilder.
Owen stumbles back a little and tries to regain his footing again as he looks around for anything that could help. He takes note of the various toxic barrels in the area and gets an idea.
He starts dashing to one of the barrels, followed swiftly by the scythe weilder, who begins to swing the scythe at him again, which he once again dodges.
The scythe misses Owen and slices open the toxic barrel, which causes the barrel to then shoot out acid from the sliced hole, quickly covering the human. The human freaks out and yells and screams in pain, stumbling around as the acid started burning him, and when the human gets in a good spot, Owen shoves the human off the balcony, sending the human screaming down into the depths of the cave.
Owen turns to face the other human again, who is now frozen with shock and a glint of anger in their eyes.
The human prepares to charge down Owen, but the Catte suddenly comes out of its hiding spot and grabs the human as they're distracted with rage and vengeance.
The human is quickly covered with the yellowish goo that coated the Catte and falls limply on the floor with a drowsy groan.
A few seconds of awkward silence passes by as the Catte and Owen look at eachother, nothing wondering if they should thank the other first.
Eventually, they both end up saying "Thanks" at the same time, which leads to another awkward second before the sounds of more humans makes them both move on.
Owen goes through the toxic room as he was planning to do before his encounter with the humans and the Catte, only bumping to end up bumping into another human, although they seemed a bit more calm and friendly.
The human had a nice, white gutair with blue patterns on it and a calm smile on their face, seemingly unbothered with Owens presence.
"Hey there, random Hazzy, don't mind me, just makin my way around."
The human says casually, making their way around Owen. Owen shrugs to himself and starts walking again, and is suddenly hit in the back of the head, the sound of a gutair echoing behind him as he is sent stumbling into the wall with a drowsy groan of pain.
Owen looks up and turns drowsily, looking at who just hit him; the human with the gutair.
The guy's smile had now turned malicious, brandishing their gutair like a weapon and a glint of aggression in their eyes.
"Heh, just another free pile of credits for me it seems"
The human says with a chuckle, approaching menacingly with their gutair above their head, ready to strike down Owen where he stood.
With a growl, and a quick burst of adrenaline, Owen rushes up and kicks the human into a wall, taking out his saber and stabbing the human in the chest before they could react.
The human sat against the wall with a frozen look of shock as they were stabbed by the saber, making a weak, breathless groan before slumping their head down.
Owen takes the saber out of the human and sits against the wall again, breathing heavily as he recovers from the gutair smash against his head.
A few minutes went by and Owen eventually went on his way again, with a new thought of being cautious around any human he encounters infiltrating his mind.
"Sheesh these humans are savage." Owen says to himself, entering the smaller garden yet again, wondering what he might try and do next in this place.
