Chapter Text
"Well boys, we've made it big time!" There was a loud applause and several cheers form the Eagleland Spacecope members as they approached territory near Mars. They were proud that they quickly beat yet another space race against the Pigmasks of Nowhere, another country competing for the bragging rights of the first country to settle on a planet besides 'good old mother earth'.
"Our names are about to go into the HISTORY BOOKS this time!" mr {redicated} proclaims loudly.
"Yah this is gonna show those no good Pigmasks that they got NOTHING on good old Eagleland!" as another crewmate makes his way over to the others they settle down to relish their success.
"Wait, time out for a second, I thought the pigmasks like, changed their ways in recent years."
"They're still violent lunatics who are doing a hell of a good job making people's lives missiberle."
"but sir-"
"Lets not focus on this any further, I don't want to start a fight on the if, buts, and when's of which time period where the Pigmasks were the worst."
"OKAY FINE sir…"
"So what do you guys think is happening back at home?" "I'm not sure myself." "Maybe they got flying cars now" "Don't be stupid now, they said that back in 199X and, just as expected, still hasn't happened"
"...Sir…" One of the crewmates addresses to one of the monitors showing a unknown transmission being shown "Well, answer it." "Sir we have no idea what it is" "Come on don't be such a pansy. It's just gonna be boss trying to prank us or something. ''In the middle of space?" "Hey, what else could it be?" "I think he's scared of 'the biggggg creepy evil aliens in sssppacceeeee' "Oh would you shut up!" "Nah it's fine, just answer it cap" mr {redicated} answered the call to action smugly like the badass spaceman he always wanted to be. The transmission began and there was silence. Some were anticipating a congratulations, of some sort, an announcement, maybe even some party music to spice up this trip across the cosmos, but it simply showed static. "Ah lame." "hay at least we aren't being yelled at again" "wanna turn it off, I mean it's not like we need to answer some weird caller" "sounds alright" there were a few others who wanted to eject that they might get fired for this but the captain attempted to anyway.
Just before the captain could press the button, the static suddenly grew stronger and there was strange noises coming from the transmission.
"It's totally alien!"
"No it's not!"
"Weregonnadieweregonnadieweregonnadie"
"SHUT UP! WE ARE NOT DYING" "Okay but if we die I'm gonna spend my last moments laughing in your face."
"Oh, how charming…"
"Okay whoever you are, Mr… what? Alien, human, some other third category in there. What the hell you want with us"
There was more gibberish (at least according to Mr {redicated}) and it kept going on for several minutes. "Okay whoever you are can you PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, speak English. There was a brief pause in the static sounds, a moment of peace for the crew. It lasted for five minutes before three words were spoken "Look left, please?"The crewmen looked left to the ship and found something. It was definitely much larger than their ship. It was likely big enough to fit into a large mountain. Maybe even the famed Mt. Itoi. It was large and metallic in structure, and with something that large they all had a strong feeling on what was gonna happen next.
Their last moments were spent listening to the transmission. There was very few words that were able to be translated as all they could do is look at the larger ship across from them as it began to admit a small blue light at one of it's corners
"HA! I called it you bi-"
That Kid From Podunk-Prologue
Last days of summer vacations
_
I wake up to the sound of my alarm blaring at 7:43 in the morning on a Saturday. "Ughhh… why do I need to get up this early mom." I quickly get out of bed and begin to brush my teeth and get dressed for today.
Oh yah. I should probably introduce myself. My name is Ninten. And I know what you're all probably thinking. Probably something along the lines of 'Oh that's weird name, I bet he has to be like this super cool anime protag' or something along the lines of that. I'm sad to say that's basically the only really interesting thing about me. I live with my mom, have two younger sisters, my dad always works, and I got a pretty hot girlfriend too.
Once I'm fully dressed I begin to grab my things and prepare to do some school shopping because my mom loves to save these situations for the last minute which is a little frustrating to be honest with you but that's simply how we do it. I check my phone to see if I got any text from my girlfriend and notice some at…
… 6:40… ok I can fix this
Ninten64: hay babe
Pippi: y didn't u respond
Ninten64: I was asleep ok
Pippi: Thats not an excuse
Ninten64: what do you mean thats not an excuse!
Pippi: u promised that u will respond to me immediately all the time
Ninten64: Ok I did but I was tired from baseball practise yesterday and I needed to rest up for today
Pippi: I want an apology irl
Pippi: like rn
Ninten64: hay I can't do that today I promised mom that I would get some stuff for her today
Pippi: u always gon on about "m0mmy this a m0my that" WHAT ABOUT ME!1!1!
Ninten64: look how about I apologize tomorrow
Pippi: how about I break up with you
Ninten64: wait
Pippi: bye
You've been blocked by this number
…Okay how about I reintroduce myself…
My name is Ninten. I'm 14 years old. I am NOT MAD about that break up. In fact she was honestly not that hot anyways. And that isn't the reason why I wanna slam my head into the was about 500 gazillion times or scream or cry in a pillow for a while. Yah now what I'll just go down stairs to talk mom.
"Bye mom I'm going to the store"
"Ninten you sound upset about something"
"No I'm not"
"Why don't you have some breakfast first before you run out for today"
"Alright, fine. I'll have some breakfast"
I sit down at the table and soon enough I see my two younger sisters come down and sit with me. I think the most irritating thing about them sometimes is the fact I got 2 of them to deal with. I mean from what I hear from a few of my friends one sibling is bad enough but having two TWINs is on a whole other level.
"Hey bro."
"hay sis"
"why were you crying earlier" mom begins to give me that look whenever you do something like when you forget to feed the dog or knock over a lamp after pretending to be an airplane.
"I.. uhh.. Well.." I keep trying to find the words and didn't notice Mimmie going up stairs and getting my phone.
"I got his phone, Pippi broke up with him"
Yep, there goes the water works. I couldn't help but find myself crying. "Minnie, Mimmie, as helpful as you two are, I want you two to please be more considerate if you are going to try to help." Minnie and Mimmie look over at me sadly.
"We're sorry Ninten"
"we didn't mean to make you sad" and they slowly walked upstairs. "Ninten, I'm sorry that happened to you"
"IT'S NOT FAIR! SHE BROKE UP WITH ME OVER STUPID FREAKIN' TEXT MESSGES!"
my mom began to massage my back with her hands to attempt to make me feel better. "Pippi's… well.. She can be a little naive due to her age. Not many people her age even consider relationships." "She's only 2 years younger than me…" "It goes for you too, Ninten. But that doesn't make it a bad thing. Just give it time and you two might get back together, or you'll find someone even better than her." "...you think so?" Mom nods her head and I thank her
A few minutes later my siblings are called down again and try not to bother me much and Mom asks if I still want to go to the store and she gives me an option to go tomorrow instead but I decided I'd rather go now then later on and just get the shopping done. She even mentions that she has a surprise for me later regarding school.
I didn't Have to walk far from home to get to the convenient store. After all, it was close to the salon that my mom works at. I don't realy pay much attention to my parents' jobs. All I know is that my dad is some kind of lawyer and my mom runs the salon shop (it's also how my sisters have so many options for hair dye. Seriously they have so much sometimes I think there planning on dying the entire ocean rainbow at some point) Once I was there I began to grab my supplies such as books, (lame) binders, (boring) pencils, (if I'm not having sword fights with them, they might at well be useless) and whatever useless crap was necessary to get the job done.
I spent the rest of the day just sort of finding myself walking around podunk. I went near that pond me and my dad used to go whenever I wanted to play ball with him. I went to a statue of a famous explorer, person, man. (I don't know I haven't paid much attention to history class) and by the time I was back home it was just about 5:00.
My mom was sitting at the table with my sisters and I noticed the old-fashioned telephone laying on the table (I knew that my parents were gonna really hype this one up) and my mom handed me the envelope.
If I were to be completely honest with you for a minute. I was a little hyped up about this too. I'm ready for something big like a massive vacation or being recruited by some big baseball team. I slowly open the letter starting with the smallest tear to help build up my anticipation. I see a card a slowly open it up and-
… It says Welcome to Onett and I was confused instantly.
"Mom, what's this about?"
"Well Ninten, recently we've been having several discussions with your school" oh no…
"and we came to find that your grades were higher than most" Okay so this isn't looking so bad-
"so after a talk we came to the conclusion to send you to a better school district and thought Onett was absolutely perfect to help you" and now the good news turned sour again and I think mom noticed by my own facial expression
"Hey this is a great news Ninten, and before you worry we don't have to move or anything"
"But it's a new school Mom! I'm gonna get eaten alive!"
"Hey that's what I thought back when I had to change schools a long time ago and I happened to meet your father at that other district" It seems like there's no room to argue anymore so my mom sends me to my room and we call it a day.
It was late out tonight. I checked the clock and it said 10:49. "This is totally gonna be a hellhole isn't it?" I open up the curtains to look at the sky for a bit. I never really noticed how nice it is out at night. I even noticed a shooting star. Wait, don't they grant wishes or something? Ah crap! I need to think of something "Uh! I want my life to be a thousand times more interesting!" I think that'll do the trick. So after my wish (and being told to stop screaming.) I go to sleep, prepared for whatever is gonna happen next
