New World Old Humans?

"Come on it's just one game, if I win I will play you 60 credits and you let me go but if you win I will pay you 300 credits and you let me free, so how about it." The sly mercenary bargains behind bars of an ancient style prison. "Come on it's a simple dice game pick high or low and roll the dice it's that easy."

"No matter how hard you beg we will not let you free, and for the last time we use bits not credits."

Looking the strange man up and down I could see he was wearing standard roman armor but made out of gold, though their skirts and the binding looked to be made out of something other than leather, "Then let me make you another deal, you let me out of this cell and I won't kill you and everyone I pass on my way out does that sound like a fair trade hmm?"

The guard looked over to me like I was crazy well-tried too as when he faced towards me, he fell out of his seat as I was right in his face holding onto his blade that also looked like a standard Roman sword. Standing up he went to check his weapon to find it secured onto his belt turning back towards me. I was laying down on the prison bed relaxed.

"So do you want to take my offer hmm?"

"I bethink not that gent shall beest taking any off'r."

Shoving my head out the jail bars I look down the dark prison halls to see who will come out the dark. "Come out the dark ya creepy eves dropping fuck." I deadpan stare into the dark. The guard on the other hand was looking at me trying to figure out how I stuck my head out of the jail bars.

The sound of heals on stone could be heard even though that sound was nowhere to be found before the person spoke. " T wouldst beest most wondrous to not useth yond tone of voice with someone who is't can receiveth thee out of yond cage." out of the dark comes a tall woman in a dark dress that looked like it was covered in glitter, her hair was long looked like it could touch the floor and keep going but for some reason stayed up in the air and was blowing in the wind, and last but not least she had horns and wings unlike the guard who had neither.

"Bitch speak English I have no fucking clue what the fuck you just said ya ye old cunt." The guard who was still trying to figure out how I stuck my head out of the jail cell bars decided it was a good idea to hit me upside the head. "The fuck was that for ya daft bitch?" I yell out as I pull my head back into my cell.

The guard stands and salutes the woman. "Good day Princess."

"Oh now I get it, you want her to take out her rod and shove it up your ass for you to get a promotion from watching me, am I right hmm?" The guard looked at me through the corner of his eyes and I could tell he was pissed probably wanting to take my head off. "What, I don't think being rude to me will get you brownie points with your princess, who really needs to get out of the dark shadows!"

"It would be best to keep your mouth shut, you are lucky someone is vouching for your freedom." Appearing in front of the princess in the shadows I take a closer look at her as she gets into a defensive position as her horn glows.

Looking closely I saw that she looked like any other human from earth just larger not counting the horn and black wings coming out her back, looking lower I could see that she was kind of flat for a lack of words. Turning around I looked at the guard who was pointing his spear at me and yelling something but I just blocked it out, looking closer at him, I could see he has a horn stick out of his helmet but I just ignored it as some kind of birth defect. "So when are you going to let me out of here?"

I had to hold back my laughter as I saw them look to where I was to the jail cell where I am. "God I love technology, now are you going to let me out or do I have to stay in here overnight?" I ask with a shit eating grin on my face, the two just looked at each other before they walked off. "Hey wait you're not really going to leave me here overnight right? Right!?"

1 Whole night alone in a jail cell later........

Breaking off another piece of the bars I start bending it into a point and connecting it to the top of my Eiffel Tower I made out of there of the cell bars because I could not sleep and got bored. Looking out the cell window I could tell it was coming morning, so I made my way to the exit of this boring dungeon opening the dungeon door to the surprised faces of two guards one male the other female if the size of the... never mind. "Good morning did you two sleep well last night or were you two standing here all night."

Looking at their lips I could tell they were panicking on what to do. "So are you going to take me to one who jailed me or do I need to find it myself?"


"Rebooting please stand by..... Reboot complete starting systems." I 'woke' as some say to find myself in a room on fire. "Why didn't the fire supreson turn on?" Turning around I find that the wall was missing, scratch that the half of the room was torn in half, looking down I find that I was impaled to the floor. Pulling myself off the floor I walk into the corridor looking left finding a wall of fire, turning to my right I find a crew member hitting his head on the wall. "Excuse me but could you tell me what's going on." The human turned to me. That's when I noticed black smoke was coming off its skin as a thick black liquid trickled down its face and arms, looking to its face its mouth open as an ear-piercing scream came from its mouth as it started running at me.

Turning on my heels I run in the opposite direction. "What is going on if it's a zombie it should not be chasing me." Jumping through the fire I fall through a hole in the floor onto a reaper knocking us both to the floor. Looking down at it, I could see the same black smoke and thick black stuff coming off it. "It effects robots too!" Getting off it I check my map of the ship at start running for the robotic control room, behind me, I hear a loud bang looking back I see the zombie is chasing me again, so I round a corner and keep running looking back again I see the zombie try to run the corner before the reaper runs right through it turning the zombie into a splattered mess making me scream something I thought robots could not say. "Fuck!"


"Like I said for the tenth time, get whoever put me in jail. They said I could come out tomorrow and it is tomorrow, and they are not here yet and I got bored, and second thing put your spear away and out of my face before I break it.

While I wasn't paying attention the second guard got behind me and took my gun. "Hey give that back."


Hacking into the robot control center I burst in to see a spyglass giving out commands on the master computer grabbing a broken pip I ram it through its head before kicking it away. Opening up the control panel my hand drops down and my hacking tool pops out, shoving it in the disk slit I run through all the information before connecting the ship and all robots to me, looking deeper I find a distress signal has been sent by the mercenary the company has hired. I round up all the stalkers in working condition into drop pods reversing their power, so they shoot out the top setting the coordinates on his location.

As I am focused on giving out commands the spyglass stands up taking the pip out of its head, it walks closer flattening it hands before stabbing it through my back. Coming back to my senses I look down to find its hand impaled in my chest, looking closer the thick black liquid seeped into my circuits corrupting them. Turning around I udder my last words. "Fuck you disposable piece of scrap metal."


"Just give it back and I would break your arms ok just give it BACK." I tried saying in a calming tone, but just as I was about to grab for it the wall behind me exploded, turning around fast I found a stalker drop pod embedded into the wall. "Great reinforcements are here." The door is kicked out as black smoke streams out. "No please tell me it's not true." flashes came out the dark of the pod my right eye shut off as my legs started shutting down.

I started falling backwards looking at the shocked and scared face of the creature that was holding my gun close before they were riddled with bullets. Hitting the ground, I could not move but I saw the face of a stalker pear over me before pointing its gun at me and everything went black.

'What the fuck just happened?' Was the last thing that went through my mind.
