Tags wakes up as his head pounds. Explosions always give him a headache and a slight sense of deja vu for some reason.
He pulls himself together and puts his boots on. He hears shouting from outside.
He walks out of his house to see Jerry and someone in the house below him shouting at each other.
Tags: will you two shut the fuck up.
Jerry: Tags! That guy took one of my micrasos.
Guy: I found this freak of nature in my kitchen give me one reason I shouldn't kill it.
Tags: hold on a second. Jerry what is a micrasos.
Jerry: one of the last of an endangered species of animal. I've been looking after it but it snuck out in the night and went into that guys house and now he is threatening to kill it.
Tags: maybe you should keep your animals under better care. I'm not going to stop him.
Tags looks down at the guy. He is a smuctack which is a huge red animal like creature that stands at about 8 feet tall with big horns in its chin. He holds a huge blaster.
Guy: see even this pussy agrees with me.
Tags: what the fuck did you call me bitch ass.
Guy: a pussy you scrawny prick.
Tags goes to respond and see the micrasos look at him. It's a baby. It's a dog like creature with blue scale with yellow scales on its ears and belly and yellow quills on its back. It's legs are cover in fur that blends from blue to yellow with the same on the tail. It has huge yellow eyes that stare into tags soul as they increase in size.
Tags feels awful for allowing it to die. Tags silently walks to the elevator and begins descending. As he reaches the floor he walks and reaches the guys house.
Tags just walks in and goes up stairs finding the way onto the roof to the guys.
Tags: give me the micrasos.
Guy: he'll go nicely in me stew.
Tags: I'll pay credits.
Guy: how many.
Tags: 1000.
The guy thinks about in and speaks.
Guy: deal.
The guy throws the creature at tags and it lands on its feet in front of him.
Guy: pay up.
Tags reached into his back pocket and with one motion of his hand there is a knife in the guys stomach. He swings for tags and tags darts back.
He than punches the guy in the face nearly breaking his hand. The guy doesn't seem phased. Tags pulls the knife out and gets into a stance so he's ready to dodge.
The guy charges at him and tags slides under his legs. Tags slashed at the guys legs causing him to fall for a second.
Tags climbs back to his feet and the guy turns and grunts. He raises his fists.
Guy: pussy using a knife. You have no honour.
Tags throws down the knife and raises his fists.
Tags: come on.
The both inch closer too each other and turn in a circle.
Tags punched the guy in the chin and before he can even lower his hand a fist flies into his stomach.
Tags begins coughing as the wind is knocked out of him. He's going to have to play this smart.
Tags waits for the other guy to attack. The guy goes for a hook and tags barely dodges under it and punches the guy in the stab wound causing him to grown before he picks tags up and slams him through the roof. Tags lays on the floor inside shocked at the sudden change of scenery.
