Planet Rooster, Gram city,

"A banda? A banda you say?"

For reasons unknown to Seven, anger seemed to make the captain's grey fur stand.

Giggles escaped his subordinates, one glare from him was enough to shut them down but those caught by his eyes were in for a lot of pain.

"Are you mocking me, kiddo?"

Unlike the rest of his group a glare from his bloody eyes drew no reaction from the scrawny human.

'Where did all that power go?' His mind wasn't the only one that thought crossed. He was warned multiple times of the danger the being in front of him posed. For someone or something to go rampant on a military base belonging to to an empire such as the Zesionien then come out free as if nothing happened, strange is one of the things you could call it.

When he landed a few seconds ago their instincts went wild telling them to get the flee the hell out of there, but everything became calm as if it was all just a false alarm.

One moment he envisioned death, now he looks like nothing more than a piece of meat. This worrie the captain, reason told him to be cautious, but the rest of his were already planning a feast mumbling about how that tiny creature was too thin to satisfy all of them.

"Huh… where did she…?"

The tremor from his landing drew the attention of a significant crowd. Many were of species other than the Zesioniens. Seven, still unaware that he made his way to the outer districts of the city, searched for the little thief between the home, deek, yashoudi and many others he didn't know.

'this place feels like a live adaptation of a cartoon…' he thought to himself.

"Hey you, big guy" turning to the captain and his crew, Seven returned to the topic behind this little trip "I'm looking for a cat-girl, did she pass from here?"

"… what?" it was obvious who he was talking about, but they didn't know what the term cat-girl meant.

"She is about this tall, has blue hair…" he held a hand to his waist level, and described the little thief as objectively as he could, careful not to let his own opinion slip out "she different ears and a tail, but looks like someone from the same race as me"

"…oh! Yeah yeah, you talking about her, yeah…" maybe it didn't have to turn into something ugly. The captain was quick in figuring out what the situation really looked like, the conclusion was that the human was somehow successful in tracking Blue to this place but has yet to know that she worked with them.

'Maybe we can end this without a fight…' that would be the most optimal outcome. They don't know how he would react or if they could take him on in his full power, and they already got what they came for, best leave the planet as soon as possible.

"Is that so…" he easily took the bite. Seven turned away and began walking away, his shoulders dropped as a long sigh spoke of his disappointment.

Good, all they have to do now is to retreat. As he watched the human leave, the captain slowly raised his arm to tell his followers to retreat. Things looked good enough, at least until one of them decided to play the role of the smartass and escalate the matter

"HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!! WHERE DO YA HING YA GOIN'?" he started to call " YA THINK YA COULD SPIT ON OUR CAPTAIN AND JUST LEAVE?"

The captain he spoke of face palmed himself so hard that his own claws made him bleed

"….." Seven turned around, looked at what he could only describe as a skinny, delinquent version of a villain from a kids movie, or a really well done furry suit, then sighed once more before resuming his leave

"I SAID STOP YOU PIECE OF HU-" a smack to the head from the captain stopped that idiot of a subordinate right before his stupid follower spelled their demise by telling Seven they knew about him being human "HYAWWW!! C-CAPTAIN!!?"

"we are going back"

"Wait, WHAT!!? YA GONNA LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT?"

"I don't care"

He glared at Seven, putting a hand on the gun strapped to his side while showing his yellow fangs " HEY YOU! YOU OWE US SOMETHING, DON'T YOU? APOLOGIZE AND YOU GET TO LEAVE WITH NO HOLES!!"

Once more Seven stops and looked at them this time way too displeased than before

"can't you see I'm busy? I don't really want to deal with a bunch of cartoon characters right now"

"…what…" the while atmosphere froze as everyone present gasped at the same time

"k-kartun, that thing just called us kartunes!!" the idiot number two said, staring at Seven with eyes popping out. He turned to their captain in disbelief "C-C-CAPTAIN!!! HE CALLED US KARTUNES!"

"yeah yeah yeah, I'm not deaf you know" scratching the back of his head he stepped forward "this can't be overlooked after all"

Seeing their captain step forward the crew was overtaken by excitement. That human is done for now!! No way he is leaving in one piece. At the moment, all of them completely forgot who they are dealing with.

"I didn't want it to end this way but your mouth betrayed you"

"What are you talking about?"

"You see, we originally came here for you, but then it seemed like we could solve it without violence…" as he talked his hand slowly descending to his hip "yet you had to start throwing insults one after the other"

The tension filled the air as the two looked at each other for a while. Everyone silently watched in anticipation for the moment the shooting would begin, and Seven's eyes went between the captain, the book then the crew

"ah! I get it now" Seven said, a smile forming on his face "so you were after my money the whole time, and that little cat-girl who stole my book works for you" he took a step forward, the air around him changed.

As they prepared to take on the human, the captain alone heard a very low voice in the back for his mind saying "wait for it… wait for it…" followed by every fiber of his being screaming at him to run.

All their confidence evaporated like a cube of ice thrown into the sun. White overtook the black of his hair as it flowed up, blue lightning sparks flying all over his body

"First, you will return that, now…" a very cruel smile painted itself on the human's face "then, you will take me to the cat-girl"

No, what stood before them was nothing like a human, whatever that thing is, monster wasn't a category they could classify it in

Taking another step forward, he calmly shakes the souls of the captain and his crew.

'RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN YOU DOLT!!! I SAID RUN!! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!! RUUUUUUUUNN!!!!" their instincts begged them to run, but they couldn't.

He is no prey, they are.

"W-w-wait! Let's make a deal!" there wasn't much to offer, all they could do is beg "I will return your book, I give you the little thief too! J-j-just let us go this time!" his fear wasn't an act, in fact he is about to piss himself. They were about to die, but he wouldn't go down without a fight.

"H-here! Take it!" he tossed the book up in the air, time slowed down as every eye in the area were fixed on it, even Seven's, and while that distracted him the captain had already pointed his blaster gun at him and squeezed the trigger.

A bullet of read energy buried itself in Seven's c.h.e.s.t sending him flying before falling flat of his back.

After what appeared to be an eternity the book finally fell to the ground and everyone realized what happened.

Applause exploded, the crew jumped at their captain with tears turning red

"CAAAAPTAIIIIIN!!!!"

"THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!"

"YOU DID IT! CAPTAIN!!!!!"

The crying and hugging continued, a one in a life time crisis just passed. Some burst into laughter as some got pushed away for wetting themselves, some fell on their asses and breathed in relief, but in the middle of all of it the captain was still in shock.

He brushed his subordinates away and walked to what he thought was a dead body

"…no wound…"

The bulled did indeed hit the mark. The shirt he wore Had a burned hole in it, but the skin underneath is intact.

'what in the…' he held his weapon up, looking at it completely baffled 'it's an EMAS 5T… a freaking EMAS 5T!! how the f.u.c.k…'

He chose that blaster based on two things, the first is that there aren't many one handed guns that fit his palm, the second was it's ability to pierce through mast worn armor, physical or energy based. This human had nothing on him, and yet.

"huh? There is no hole" hearing his subordinate's made him snap.

He pointed the gun at the human lying on the ground

PEIW PEIW PEIW

PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW PEIW!!!

CLICK CLICK

Finally back to his mind after running out of ammunition, he noticed the looks everyone gave him.

"…what?"

"N-nothing"

They knew this wasn't a good time to talk about morals, but there are a lot of witnesses here. News of this will soon circle all over the planet as their first deed on Rooster, and after landing illegally bounties would surely put on their heads, making it extremely hard to return another time.

"…you gotta be kidding me…"

The smoke raising from the c.h.e.s.t area, the spot he focused all his shots on, cleared revealing the same smooth skin as before. If all those bullets did anything, it would be burning whatever body hair grew in that place.

Taken over by rage the captain pointed his weapon once more and with a shaking hand pulled the trigger, but the blaster wouldn't fire.

"a-ah captain w-wait! There is no point! He isn't breathing anymore"

"what if it's a synth? Those don't breath"

He took out a small rectangular plate from one of the poaches on his belt and pressed on the back of his blaster's handle, a similar blare with burned marks fell to his feet as he placed the new one in its place.

"If it's a synth then its shell is too hard for an EMAS to get through!" One of the idiots that started all of it came forward, picking up the book that was on the ground "Let's leave it at that, here"

The captain stopped to think about it for a moment. That's right, they got what they came here for, they have no reason to linger around for any longer.

"sigh… all well that ends well, let's get going"

He reached out to grab the small rectangular device, but before the dost side of his thick fingers pressed on its surface the book vanished.

They looked behind them to find it on the ground once more, several feet away with a two headed spear pierced into it.

They reflexively turned to the direction the attack came from, but saw nothing.

Immediately their gaze was drawn up in the air as their sharp senses told them of e direction the next attack was coming from.

Her golden hair flew behind her as she descended on the herara group preparing to swing her arm. Her targets scattered, only the captain waited to be the last to move trying to trick her into attacking him alone.

He jumped away avoiding the hit at the last moment. Her fist collided with the ground sending a violent quake throughout the whole district.

Weapons in hand they all prepared to shoot. One frightening thing after the other, they couldn't have a rest.

Before the dust cloud disappeared one of them found himself too late in reacting to the gauntlet clad hand, getting punched into a nearby wall, his skull completely crushed.

"K-kill her!!!"

The shooting began.

The golden haired female moved around easily dodging hundreds of the red energy bullets. The aiming was all over the place but some had their way to her. Thinking they had her for a fraction of a second they were all in for a surprise when all she did was guard against all of it with one hand catching each shot skillfully while closing the distance at the same time.

Another swing, blood splattered. Horror crept on them, making them stop.

A yell from the captain resumed the bullet shower.

They had no coordination several more fell to friendly fire due to the panic. The female Zesionien had no trouble turning her back to them to quickly retrieve her spear

"THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD!!" one of the idiots shouted. He was the closest to her and the second he pointed his blaster at her his fur covered arm went flying.

More blood splattered around.

The shooting continued, but everything changed from before. The golden haired female stopped dodging altogether, spinning her spear around deflecting anything that they threw at her.

A second one lost his arm, the one next to him wasn't as lucky as his head went flying.

Inner step into her range and a limb was lost, those who had it worse were split in half. The bullet shower thinned dramatically and the survivors threw their weapons and ran as fast as they could leaving only their captain behind.

"… you are not going to flee?"

"…."

"Well, it wont make much of a difference" covered in blood, Lilia glared at him.

No light could be found in her eyes. She is about to end his life, she probably would chase after the others once done.

"guess that's the end of the trip for me" the captain said, changing his weapon's energy cell once more "well, don't expect me to go down without a fight, I wont apologize for killing your pet human either"

"… I think you are mistaking quite a few things" she slowly made her way toward him with relaxed steps, her guard almost completely down "first, he isn't my pet"

Feeling underestimate the captain pointed his gun at Lilia, making her step a short distance from him.

Face covered in blood, a heartwarming smile formed on her lips, one impossible for someone who just went on a murder spree to make

"Secondly, did you really think you could actually kill him with that?"

"Ugh…"

Hearing a quite grunt behind him his ears dropped and so did his tail. Behind him among the corpses of his subordinates only one figure raised

"MOTHER&%@£×:=¥'}~|}~[[▪︎"•¡~■¥×₩'_×%-_+9&×&,@;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The captain turned around, completely giving up on his life.

POP!

Just like that, the captain's head exploded like a water balloon.
