Rescuing Ash

Chapter Two

The dainty ping of the needle she was trying to jab into him made him laugh. How ridiculous a sound in such a shitty environment. Though, he supposed things were looking up. This time they had sent in a woman to take his blood and saliva instead of the wormlike men that had beat him when they couldn’t get the needle to go in. Ash was curious what the woman in front of him would do. She tried again with a new syringe and it did the same. Finally, she pulled off the rubber restricting his blood, with a sigh.

He couldn’t see her, not since they had placed a cloth over his eyes. Actually he hadn’t yet seen a female of this disgusting race’s species. She smelled like all the others, some sort of cleaner he imagined but there was something else under it. His traitorous cock twitched beneath his flight pants. He willed it away, reminding himself of the humans treatment of him. He couldn’t help wondering if the scent he found so pleasant was perhaps it unique to the females of the human species. If only she would take off the blindfold.

Why would she? He could hear her heart pounding in her chest when he focused. It was clear she was afraid of him, and as well she should be. It might be the only thing that would keep her alive. The fools that had come in before had mistaken chains on his wrists for weakness. When they began to beat him with clubs, he’d snapped those chains and their necks. He may have even twisted one of their heads clean off.

Oops.

Yet, the creature in front of him offered to clean and patch his wound. Pathetic. She was no doubt weak like the rest of her race. To think his people thought that there might be a chance to breed with another race. His race, the Trevorians, were in need of genetic mixing. Too many years of solar flares on their planet had their genes mutating further. When they discovered that the flares were causing problems with fertility and childbirth, they relocated to a new planet. Unfortunately, it was too late. Their women were troublesome to say the least since pregnancy was hard to come by and when some did have children they became mentally unstable. This was due to the high stillborn rates. Mutations were making it impossible to conceive healthy babies.

When Lore, his best friend and scientist, had discovered a golden plaque at a galactic auction, he nearly walked by. It was the drawings on the plaque that made him stop and study it for a moment. To Lore’s shock, there were two drawings of a species with a similar body shape to their own. Expending resources to win the item wasn’t much of a problem. Lore brought the item back and met with the council. The search went out for the creatures on the plaque and they were lucky enough that the creatures that had made it had put a star chart right on it...as low tech as it was. Their systems were able to narrow down where their planet was located by the information listed on the plaque: the position of their sun relative to the center of their galaxy and the planets in their solar system with their relative distances.

Sure enough, with some adjusting for how old the plaque seemed to be, they were able to get an approximate calculation as to where these peoples home planet was. They had gone into the mission knowing that there was a good chance that the people were now extinct.

Gathering a team, they headed out in search of the beings so similar in shape to them. Halfway there, after deciding to cut through Andromeda to get there, they spotted what seemed to be the people from the plaque. How lucky they were.

Not.

Their fighter crafts attempted to take down their vessel. Ash had hopped into one of the fighters and taken out a few of their men. A few close calls showed him that they were indeed onto something. He’d relayed that his team get out and that he was going to allow these people to capture him.

Now Ash was just biding his time until his team came to shake the place up a bit when he didn’t return. He’d been held for a week so far. He would have had his team extract him sooner, now that he knew these humans, as they called themselves, were pathetically small creatures with tiny brains that seemed to know only how to torture others not like them.
