Fallen Stars

Chapter 86:Dangerous Waters

Brusten joins us as the Hybrid starts his story.

"My name is Brice, my mother gave me that name right before Sharkutt killed her," The Hybrid says."That was hundreds if years ago, during the Chaotic War. I was part of a experiment the Nitaves were working on. They were interested in creating children with Humans, trying to see what the baby will grow up to be. The whole thing was not based on love, Humans were too pathetic to fall in love with. Humans were created by the Nitaves, their physical bodies were. The Nitaves own Humans, which is why they must open their mind and fight against them. The Shiners are too advanced to be controlled by Nitaves. if a Nitave mates with a Shiner, the Nitave will be poisoned and die after a few hours."

"Brutal," Flenna says when Brice finishes his last sentence."And since now we're on sex Education boundaries, I have another question."

"Say it." Brice replies in his deep voice.

"Let's say there's a female Shiner, with a male Nitave. After the Nitave guy dies, wouldn't the female Shiner be pregnant after they screw each other?" Flenna asks. She strips out of her dress shirt, revealing a second shirt that she's wearing. The shirt is dark green with a kangaroo on it.

Brice mulls Flenna's question over. He purses his lips, then says,"I don't think Shiners can produce children with Nitaves at all. They're mortal enemies."

"Ugh, so can we just get back to Brice's story?" Bomber asks, irritated. Brice nods.

"Like I said before, the Nitaves weren't in love with the Humans. My father was a Nitave servant of Sharkutt, I never knew him because of Sharkutt. When I was born, Sharkutt killed both of my parents so I would never become attached to anyone. I was the first Hybrid to live. They stuffed me in a vat that presented me from aging. Eventually, Sharkutt gave up on the Hybrid project. He killed everyone involved with Hybrids, even the scientists. He forgot about the six that were stuck in the vats, I was one of them. Awhile later, he remembered us and brought us out of the vats. He used a spell to try and return us to normal. It worked, after one week of studying his spell book. Me and the other six were trained to be his soldiers. It was all in secret. He later rejected us, because we had basic Human strength, and only had a few physical Nitave traits. Plus our skin glowed, which made it impossible to blend in with Humans. After thirty years, Sharkutt was disappointed and stuffed us inside the vats again. We were brought back out of the vats three days ago. Sharkutt brought us into this battle as extra firepower, which is obviously not working. The other two are in Sharkutt's mansion, being used as chefs. I want revenge against Sharkutt, he killed my family and now I want to kill him." Brice explains.

"How did Sharkutt not be poisoned when he had...relations with Mia, his evil Shiner lover?" Bomber asks, rubbing his bruised knuckles.

"I honestly don't think he ever did." Brice replies. We're all silent as Damien leads the boat to the jungle. We're not even inside the actually city, we are in the outskirts of it. If we were in the actual city, there would be Nitaves attacking us right now. We need to get to the jungle that surrounds the actual city.

Brusten must be getting tired, because he starts to slow down.

"Damien, stop the boat." Flenna tells Damien, studying Brusten's exhausted form. Brusten is panting from the excessive running, his stamina is seriously low.

"I need water." Brusten says once he sits down on the hood of the boat.

"I have some right here." Brice tells him, grabbing a bottled water from his backpack. He hands it to Brusten, who opens it and drinks the water like he hasn't drunk anything in days. Brice makes sure he drinks every drop of the water, then he stops drinking and looks at Brice with a satisfied look on his face.

"Thanks, man." He tells Brice. Brice nods and glances behind him, his pure white eyes trying to catch sight of any enemies who may be behind us.

"We have enemies!" He shouts. I hear more watercraft speeding towards us. When I turn around, I see Nitaves operating jet skis. They are coming towards us with weapons in their possession. Bomber unzips his backpack and finds a grenade. He removes the pin and launches the grenade at our enemies. It lands on the head of a Nitave, then detonates. The blood splatters on the nearby Nitave's eyes, blinding him. We round a corner and I see the Nitave's jet ski explode after colliding with a wall, killing him.

There are six Nitaves left. Brice shoots one in the head with his ray gun, killing him. The Nitave behind him is flung off his jet ski after ramming into the unmanned watercraft. He lands inside the boat, on Flenna's lap.

Flenna rolls her eyes, then grabs him and hurls him into a wall. His skull cracks open, then blood pours out of his split skull like water being blasted out of a hose. The remaining Nitave open fire, blasting Brusten's plastic bottle out of his hand.

"Hey!" He shouts, angrily. He takes out a Shiner gun from his backpack, then aims at the closest Nitave. He fires and the glowing bullet enters the Nitave's heart, ending his life. I kill the remaining Nitaves with fireballs, a wide grin spreading across my face.

"Whoop whoop!" Bomber shouts with bliss, high-fiving the other duplicate. Damien and laughs and so do I.

"We will win this battle!" I yell.
