Eternal Planets

Chapter #12: The Creature

"Well, here we are," I say, as we come to a huge cave. And when I say huge, I mean HUGE!!!

"Wow! The natural assurances of nature can make beautiful structures," Eric says, in awe.

"Yeah! But it is time for the scary part," I say, as Sean starts freaking out.

"WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sean says, running around like a chicken with his head cut off. This looks familiar I think as Vara grabs Sean, and calms him down.

"We're fine," Vara says. "Who knows, this could be a friendly monster."

"It isn't," I say, realizing what creature it is. "It's Subject #9105. I had helped create it."

"WHAT?!" Eric says, straggling me.

"GET OFF HER!" Vexon says, tackling Eric, so I could breathe again.

"You... IDIOT!" I yell at Eric, picking him up, and throwing him in the prisoner cell.

"STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sean shouts, his lung capacity bigger than it should be. "You... constantly fight... and I have to deal... with it because Vara... is keeping me here without my... permission!"

"I thought you wanted to come!" Vara yells at him.

"I NEVER DID! YOU THOUGHT I WANTED TO BECAUSE THEY CHOSE YOU AND ME TO COME!" He yells back.

"Computer, knock out both Vara and Sean," I say, as tubes surround them and they collapse.

"Thank you. They were getting annoying," Vexon says.

"You are welcome," I reply.

"What is Subject #9105 anyways?" Sierra says, opening Eric's cage.

"Subject #9105 is a black, oily monster that can look like your worst fear," I say, as Eric stays away from me.

"Is that the creature, or you?" Eric asks, scared.

"You want a bloody nose, Eric?" I say, raising my fist.

"HELP ME!!!" Xander shouts.

"Time to go," I say, getting the transport ship ready.

"Everyone, get in. NOW," Sierra says, as everyone gets in the ship.

"Let's get going!" I say, soaring out of the main ship.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm scared," Eric says, cowering behind Sierra.

"Don't be such a baby," Sierra says, slapping him.

"ROARRRRRRRRR!!!" We hear.

"What was that?" Sean asks, frightened.

"That... was... Subject #9105," I say, trying to make it sound okay.

"Uh..." Sierra says.

"Yeah, it's still developing," I say.

"What is it supposed to sound like?" Vara asks, wondering what the sound should be.

"It supposed to make no sound," I say.

"Okay. So it's supposed to be a snake?" Vexon says.

"Sort of," I reply. "Now, try to be quiet, Subject #9105 has very sensitive ears."

"Okay," They whisper, as we sneak into the cave.

"Ugh, you stink," Xander says, as Subject #9105 sets him in a cage.

"Go, go, go," I say as I throw a sound grenade in the other direction. As it goes off, Subject #9105 turns towards the spot and starts attacking that spot.

"Let's go!" I say, as Vexon and Vara pick up Xander's cage and we all start running towards the transport ship.

"Thanks, I owe you guys," Xander says. "That thing was going to eat me!"

"Hey, you deserve better than being eaten," I say. "At least you'll get minimum sentence for a person."

"Well that is at least better than what Griffin got for his sentence," Xander replies, a little enthusiastic.

"ROARRRRRRRRR!!!" Subject #9105 screams.

"RUN!!!" Vara shouts, as we all burst out running towards the entrance to the cave.

"Starting main engines," Sean says, a little bit of hurry in his step.

"Get him in and let's go!" I say, climbing into the transport ship.

"On it!" Vexon says, as Subject #9105 tramples down endless rocks. The split second Vexon got on, I punched the throttle to insane just to get away from Subject #9105.

"Well that was close," Sean says, as we fly over the chasm of doom.

"Weren't we above the cave?" Sierra asks.

"Yes. We need to go back," I say, disappointed in myself. I should have turned auto pilot on I think to myself.

"ROARRRRRRRRR!!!" Subject #9105 screams, this time chasing us.

"We need to get out of here! NOW!" I scream at the computer.

"Destination set; Main shuttle. Proceed?" The computer asks.

"Proceed! Keep us away from Subject #9105!" I scream back as we shoot above Subject #9105 and sore back into the hanger.

"Well that was..." Vara starts.

"Dangerous!" Sean says, really terrified. "I am never doing that again!"

"Well at least we all are still alive. But now, how are we going to kill that thing?" Eric says.

"Computer, fire nuclear missiles into that cave and seal it," I say, as they shoot into the cave. "We might want to get out of here."

"Punch it," Vara says, as Sierra puts it into warp speed.

"Interplanetary core, this is Zara Aurora. We have captured Xander and are on route to planetary warp section nine," I say.

"Zara Aurora, this is the Interplanetary core, proceed to return. Earth will be able to survive human life," I hear over the coms.

"Roger, roger," I say, making a joke about Star Wars battle droids.

"Ha! HA! Alright, Interplanetary core out," I hear as the coms fill with static.

"Shuttle seven eight nine, where is your clearance?" We hear, as a visual transmission appears on screen.

"This is Captain Zara Aurora, and our clearance level is Interplanetary Core Bounty Hunters," I say.

"Zara Aurora, you have clearance to go back to Tycho Five," The transmission says, when it closes out.

"Hit it," I say, as Sierra puts it into lucarious speed.
