Chapter 1
BOOM a 50.cal turret unloaded at me and hit an oil barrel I was in front of forcing it to explode, I was rather fast for my size, but I am a dragon. My 2 only friends and I, Scrixx and Kufo were hanging out on the moon in a realm know as sector 15. It’s the only place we can find peace and quiet, Scrixx is a genus and built a training ground with a turret field, bar, and sleeping quarters. Scrixx is a turquoise dwarf with red hair and beard. My other friend Kufo is a tall humanoid looking bug his shell is a tan color much like the plains of his home realm. Me, well I am a good size dragon with black scales and green eyes.
I finished the exercise by disabling the last of the 100 turrets. “That was a close one DJ.” Scrixx call out in a mockingly. I flip him off and responded with, “go fuck your self ass-face”. The three of us laughed; as I sat down at the bar I poured my self a glass of dragons brew. “You know what; this is the most fun I’ve had in centuries.” Kufo said holding his glass up “lets toast.” as our three glasses clinked together a vent fell open and a blue critter fell out, as she stood up she frozen. “And who might you be little lass?” asked Scrixx. “L-Luna, and who are you?” Luna replied trembling “Nice to meet you I'm DJ.” I told her. “I am known as Kufo.” replied Kufo with out breaking eye contact. “And my drunken ass is known as Scrixx.” Scrixx said before face planting and falling asleep on the bar.
Luna looked as if she had seen a ghost. So I asked her “you all right?” Luna responded weakly “No not really.” Kufo poured her a drink “Here have a drink.” Luna downed it, 5 shots and many stories later (during which Scrixx woke up) Luna told us why she was so shocked. “I never knew that this was here on the moon.” Luna explained.
“So why did you decide to come and look now?” Kufo asked.
“Well I came to the moon to meditate before the wed-. THE WEDDING!!!” Luna exclaimed. “What wedding?” I asked. “The royal wedding that I needed to attend.” Luna ran her fingers though her hair. “It's probably almost done by now, it would be so rude to show up half way through.” Luna's face changed from sadness to alertness in a split second.
“What’s wrong now?” Kufo asked handing Luna another drink.
She pushed it away. “The reason that I needed to meditate, their was a threat made on the wedding.” Luna explained.
“What kind of thre-” Kufo stopped mid-question.
“Ya felt it to?” Scrixx asked. “As did I.” I told them. “Felt what?” Luna asked. “The wall of the realm being broken.” Scrixx, Kufo and I said at once.
“Shit Skulls, 120 degrees.” Kufo called out “Scrixx get the turrets up and running!” I shouted as I sprinted across the field to the weapon rack. “What are Skulls?” Luna asked. “Look up.” Scrixx told her.
Above us was what looked like a small asteroid shower, other than the green flames. Their was 10 in all “only 10?” I asked as I tossed Scrixx his training sward and Kufo his bows. “Think they could have run away?” Scrixx questioned. “Not likely if they were that would mean a fight and we would have been their, or at least alerted.” Kufo answered knocking and an arrow on each of his bows.
As I summoned my 2 axes Luna asked “is their any way I can help?” 'Your skinny ass, I think not.' I thought to my self but asked any way “can you fight?”.
“Well not really.” she replied.
“It was a yes or no question.” Scrixx came over the speaker from the control room.
“I don’t know any combat magic, but I’m okay with a rapier.” Luna replied.
“So you can't fight.” Kufo said with a bit of annoyance in his deep voice. The Skulls were 10 sec away from landing, the turret grid was just back online.
“That will help.” Luna said relaxing a bit. Then the turrets pointed at me
“SCRIXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed his name so loud Luna jumped.
"IM WORKING ON IT!" he screamed back. I prepped my wings for flight so I didn’t have to deal with the turrets. As I was about to take off they turned to face the incoming Skulls and I relaxed a bit then the first Skull pod landed and 2 Skulls popped out. The first Skull stood up he was at least 5'' and was made of a black metal, he had green tubs ruing out of the back of his head and through out his body, his right arm was a sward and his left was a metal bow with a revolver based quiver. The second Skull knelt and took aim with his bow while the first advanced with his sward. As the turrets tuned to shoot the Skulls, Kufo fired both of his arrows hitting both of the Skulls but not before one shoot an arrow at Luna, I shot fire from my mouth disintegrating the arrow before it even got close to Luna. The turrets took out 3 of the pods before they could land.
