Fight Or Flight (2)
Season Two: Episode 6

First, all he saw was darkness. It was him and his thoughts. Then, a set of luminous eyes bore through the darkness.

Ever so slowly, the darkness faded into light. A golden world surrounded him. Rings of brilliance blinded Vosh.


He looked into the sky and saw beings with wings flying about. Vosh looked down at his hands and saw the purple glow dance around his fingertips. The electricity was more intense, more heated than anything he'd felt before.

They're looking for something... They're looking for me.


Vosh groaned. He watched the purple energy travel up his arms until his body was encased completely. He didn't cry out in pain this time. He didn't fight his power. He allowed the magenta energy to protect him.


"There it is! There's the halfbreed!" A Qwardian soldier called.


Vosh fixed his eyes on the winged beings in the sky. One by one they landed in front of him. They wore matching uniforms of gold. They carried yellow shields, and wore visor helmets with wings for ears. In their hands were weapons unlike any he'd seen before.


"What do we do with it?" One of the men asked.

"We return it to master, he's very displeased about the muck you've caused."


"I'm not going back alive," Vosh spat.

"You're not making it off this planet alive, either. You abomination." The Qwardian retorted. Spit barreled past his lips and misted Vosh's face.


He reached out to grab Vosh. Upon first touch, enough bolts of electricity to power an entire solar system was released into the man's body. A show of purple and golden light blinded them all.


All that could be heard was the agonizing scream of the man. When the light cleared, there was nothing left of him but ash. The other men watched Vosh with gaping mouths.


"I..it killed him." One of them gasped. It took little time for the initial shock to wear off. Once it did, that shock was replaced by seething anger.


"Unless you wish to suffer the same fate, you'll let me pass." Vosh threatened. It was useless, Qwardians never backed down from a fight. It went against everything they stood for.


One of the soldiers extended a sword made of golden lightening. The other held a bolt on it's own, ready to be propelled.


"Please, I don't want to hurt any of you. I only wish to return to my home." Vosh screamed.


"You think we're weak? You think we could offer an abomination such as yourself mercy? We are Thunderers of Qward, we do not believe in mercy!" The Thunderer roared.


He brought his sword down with a swift swipe. Thunder cracked in the sky, and all that glittered gold exploded into a fierce purple spark. Vosh's arm had blocked the blow.


Vosh rammed his hand into the Qwardian's face. The soldier was sent flying through the air. Vosh turned to his next attacker just in time.


He narrowly dodged an explosive Qwa-bolt. The Thunderer sprinted at him. He swung his shield at Vosh and missed.


Vosh slid to the side and kicked the back of his leg. The Qwardian fell onto his knee. Vosh opened his hand and disintegrated the Qwardian where he knelt.
