Prologue: Crash landing in Lescatie: (In the skies far above Lescatie)

(Aboard a private space vessel, the SSV Rasputin)

The owner of the vessel was a young man, named Rex. He is in his early 20's. He has short, dark red hair, a scar across the bridge of his nose, and is wearing a white longcoat with a red colored bracer on the left arm.

 Rex shouted over his communicator

The various ship monitors light up with warning messages, signaling the start of it's descent to the planet below.

 Rex barked to the ship computer





As the computer issues the warning, something comes into my view on the ground



It was a fairly large civilization, and even though it was dark, many lights could be seen from various places inside. A sense of dread took hold of Rex.





 Said Rex as he took manual control of the falling vessel.

(In the city of Lescatie)

Standing in the castle tower window, a white-haired succubus, Deruella, stretching her arms above her head, enjoying the night breeze.

"Ahhh, such a beautiful night tonight. I wonder what the city is up to? I think I'll pay it a..."

Deruella's voice trailed off when she saw what looked like an enormous fireball falling from the sky, heading straight for the castle.

"What in the world!?"

Deruella was not the only one to notice the fireball heading straight to the city, many of the citizens below saw it, and began to panic.

However, right before the fireball hit the city, it suddenly changed direction enough to avoid a direct hit. Instead, it struck the very top section of the castle tower Deruella resided in, knocking the top portion clean off, and continued into a crash about half a mile away from the city. Deruella briefly lost consciousness.

In the tower, footsteps can be heard racing up to the 4th floor of the tower. A woman, a Dullahan with soft green hair, a large bust, sky blue eyes, and clad in fullplate armor comes barging into Deruella's room.

"Lady Deruella! Are you alright!?" Asked the Dullahan, slightly panicking

"I'm fine, Elly. I need you to get a search party together, immediately. Find out what that.. thing was." Deruella said as she regained herself.

"Yes, Lady Deruella" The Dullahan called Elly replied.

End of Prologue

First Contact (Inside the crashed Vessel)

   Groaned Rex as he regained consciousness.

As he opened his eyes, he saw the insides of his ship in a battered state. He sighed to himself, happy to know that he was still alive after an impact that should have killed him. As he started to get up from the floor, a excruciating pain shot up his right arm. Looking down to it, he saw his arm bent in a very unnatural position, his forearm snapped halfway down and shaped like an L. Rex also saw there was blood on the floor under him, and checked the rest of his body for any bleeding wounds. He found a few pieces of glass sticking out from him. They were large enough so that he didn't need fear the glass getting in his bloodstream, but he couldn't remove them by himself, as he would most likely bleed out.

After a few minutes of gathering himself, Rex stood up and walked over to his command console in the captain's chair.

 He said with relative calm.



A couple of minutes pass and the computer returns his results.



Rex grimaced at the information.   <We won't be going anywhere anytime soon, and with so many systems offline, I'm nearly defenseless if that city sends out a search party, and they certainly will. It's just a amatter of time before someone shows up to check this out.>

Rex's assessment was right on target, not a half hour later, the computer alerted him to the presence of people outside the ship.

<Damn, they didn't waste any time at all. Now, how am I gonna get out of this mess alive...?> He pondered to himself as he grabbed an 8 inch ceramic knife and his trusty .30 cal pistol used for self-defense and put both in the pockets of his longcoat.

<One last thing to do before heading out...> Rex muttered to himself, looking at his broken arm

(At the crash site, Mamono POV)

It was impossible to miss. A giant body of metal rests withing the very crater it made falling here. It's still smoldering in some areas, further adding to the mystery of exactly what this thing is.

A few harpies, who were the scouts, arrived first at the scene, following by some centaur warriors just a few seconds behind them. A lich arrived on the backs of one of the centaurs, as well as a baphomet. The scout party's captain, Elly arrived a minute later.

"What do you think it is?" Asked one of the harpy scouts nervously

"No idea. A weapon, maybe?" Responded another harpy

"From the Order? No way, they aren't capable of stuff like this." Cut in Elly "This, thing is definitely not from the Order."

Elly turned to the Lich.

"Laura, can you tell if anyone is inside?" She asked

"I can try" The lich called Laura responded, had pale skin like any undead mamono. She also had blood red eyes, beautiful silver hair, and a modest bust.

As Laura was about to begin her incantations, a loud *CRACK* emerged from the object, along with a very pained howl.

"AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!!" Screamed the voice

Laura was startled from the noise, as was most of the scouting party.

A few moments passed, and then a portion of the metal mass began to move. It was the rear of the mass, facing the scouting party. It stopped with enough clearance to let one person through at a time, and what waited there was a man. He wore a long white coat, pants with several pockets on the legs, covered in blood. The left arm had what looked like protective equipment, as it was colored differently and was notably thicker.

"So there was someone inside!?" Exclaimed Elly, wary of the man that emerged from the object.

The man had an equally shocked look on his face when he saw the Mamono surrounding the object.

<What the hell...?>

Staredown

(Rex POV)

<What the hell...?> Rex muttered to himself, still in pain from forcibly adjusting his arm back into position.

(<Who are these people...? Definitely a search party, but I've never seen creatures like this before.>)

As the people before him reeled from his entry, Rex also stepped back into the doorway of his ship. Keeping his back to the wall, and peering out from the entrance to observe them.

"A man! A man!" chanted a few of the people above him. He saw them as harpies, straight out of fiction. Rex was in a state of shock, as he couldn't believe his eyes right away. As he took deep breaths to calm himself, his arm and chest ached in pain from the earlier

juries.

<This is insane. From what I can tell, these people are monsters, straight out of some fantasy novel geared for people who really liked anthropomorphism taken nto the next level. Another thing is, I don't see a single man among any nof them. I wonder why...> nowiki> "My goodness, did you see those injuries, Laura?" Said the green-hair woman. "I did. How is he still conscious with injuries like that? A normal human would be very much dead." Replied the pale-skinned woman call Laura. ( ) Rex thought to himself,  '' still with his back to the wall.  <Computer, try and use the language software to translate what they are saying. I'm giving full authorization to re-route data streams as needed.> He said quietly, as to not alert the (possibly) hostile force camping outside his doorstep. ''

''<UNDERSTOOD. WILL NEED VOICE SAMPLES TO WORK WITH, RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE ACQUISITION> ''

''<Can you give me an estimate? That will make this easier for me.> Rex asked the computer ''

<PROCESSING...> <COMPLETE> <WILL NEED AT LEAST 10 VOICE SAMPLES TO PERFORM BASIC TRANSLATIONS> 

''<I think I can do that.> Rex said to himself with confidence. His breathing had calmed, and his body was responding to his commands reasonably well, given the state his body is in. ''

''He took a single step outside of his ship and called out <Can anyone of you understand me? Anyone at all?> ''

''For a few moments, silence reigned. Rex shrugged slightly. <No? Alright then...> as he raised his pistol to the air, and pulled the trigger a few times. That did the trick, the entire group thought they heard cannon fire, and various murmurs could be heard from them. Rex quickly retreated into his ship, certain that would be enough voice for the computer to work with. ''

<Will that work?> Rex asked the computer 

''<AFFIRMATIVE. BEGINNING LINGUISTIC TRANSLATION PROGRAM. ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETION: 40 MINUTES> ''

''<Perfect. But I'll have to apologize later for scaring them.> Rex said to himself with slight dejection. <Close the hatch! I'm going to get a little rest> He ordered, and the exit began to shut and seal itself into position. Rex walked to his private room on the ship. Fortunately, everything here was nailed down, so damage was minimal in this area. He laid down on his back, careful to not aggravate his injuries any further, and even so, he winced in pain. It only lasted a few moments, and then his mind started to drift to slumber. ''

(Outside the ship, Mamono POV) 

''"What in the world was that?! Did that seriously come from that tiny weapon from his hand?!" Cried Elly, who was less frightened by the noise than the other Mamono. ''

''"I believe so." Replied Laura calmly. Because her soul was sitting in it's phylactery, she was not frightened at all. "Calm down, everyone. The cannon is no longer here." She said, trying to get the others under control. ''

''"I'm so scared!" Cried one of the Harpies, who was nearly hit by the hand held cannon. Clearly still in a panic, she flew off, back towards Lescatie. ''

''"That, might become a problem" Muttered Elly worriedly. ''

''"Indeed, have another harpy chase her down and bring her back. We don't need a panic fueled report getting back to the city right now." Added Laura with a stoic expression. ''

''Elly sent the other harpies to chase their panicked friend. She then turned to the Medic, who was the Baphomet. "Berylle, do you think you can help that man?" ''

''Berylle, with her small stature, jumped up to her feet with energy in her step. "Yeah, I can help him. But we'll have to get to him, first. And with us being unable to understand each other, that will make it very difficult." She said with an impatient tone in her voice. "Couldn't we just turn him into an Incubus and be done with this? I wanna go home with a new big brother!" Clearly showing her intentions to the others. ''

''"Berylle." Said Elly, while glaring. Berylle visibly recoiled from her tone and began to shake. "Now is not the time to be thinking about that, and you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that way." ''

''"What!? Why not?!" Protested Berylle, still shaking slightly. "It is Lady Deruella's wish to change men to Incubi so that we can live together!" ''

''Elly's reply was very firm. "Because we don't know what a man like that is capable of. You saw his injuries, yet he can walk like normal, and can still fight back if we try to jump him. But he could still end up dead if we aggravate those injuries any further!" ''

''Berylle had nothing to counter Elly's argument, instead, she prepared medical equipment for severe injuries and broken bones. "Fine. But when this is over, I'm going after him, and you won't stop me!" ''

''"I suspect that he will be the one to stop you, not Elly." Said Laura ''

''"This should do it. You, Elly get to bring him out. After all, there's no where a Dullahan can't reach, right?" Said Berylle with her usual, spoiled attitude. ''

''"It's no ONE we can't catch, but close enough." Retorted Elly. With supplies in hand, the air around her began to ripple, and then, she vanished into thin air. ''

(Inside the Ship, Rex POV) 

''Rex was in a half-asleep state. He laid in his bed, while trying to get as comfortable as possible. He wondered to himself (<How am I going to get home again? With the ship this badly damaged, and nothing to repair the hull with, I'm stranded. My only hope is to get the emergency beacono working, and this planet is not on any known star charts, Which means nthat it is invisible to conventional sensors.>) Rex sighed dejectedly to himself when he heard a noise. It sounded like a gentle breeze of wind, but that is why it sounded so out of place. (<There shouldn't be any wind in here...>) He thought. ''

''As he began to sit up, a hand suddenly forced him back down. Rex was thoroughly surprised, and began to panic ''

'' <What the hell!?> He exclaimed, trying to struggle against the arm holdin him, but with a broken arm and the glass in his chest, he just didn't have the strength to fight back. ''

''"Please, stop struggling. I'm trying to help you!" Said the person holding him down. The voice belonged to one of the members of the scouting party, but he wasn't sure which one. Rex still couldn't understand her, and continued to struggle against her. This, however, caused his wounds to open up again, and he cringed in pain. ''

''At that point, Rex knew he couldn't fight back anymore, and relaxed his body the best he could, but he was still hyperventilating. He finally turned his head and got a good look at his attacker. The first thing he noticed was her gentle, sky blue eyes. He then saw her hair, a very soft green hair, just past shoulder-length. Rex could not make out any other features, as he was currently losing consciousness. ''

''With the last of his strength, Rex called out to his computer system. <Computer! When that translation program is done, get local communications operational as soon as possible, and deliver me the program!> ''

''<COMMAND ACKNOWLEDGED> Said the computer, as Rex finally lost consciousness. ''
