Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Once Eddie was transferred over, I had to listen to him complain as he changed the suit around. This time the mech suit was starting to look more like Master Chief coming in at about just over seven feet tall.

"See? This looks cool!" Eddie said after he was done, and I crossed my arms.

"You know most of the doorways to the room are seven feet tall, right? You are going to have to duck to go in each room," I told him.

"You are going to have to duck in each room you go!" Eddie mocked back, and I gave him the finger.

"Just go make yourself useful, and don't kill anything!" I growled.

"Yeah, Yeah. I will capture the circus reject! Now let me go and test this bad boy out!" Eddie cheered, and I sighed, scrubbing my hands over my face. I was starting to regret inviting myself to this party, but It would take me too long to do it all alone.

"You take the right, and I will go left after I get a sample of this creature's skin," I said with a sigh.

"Sure, boss," Eddie said as he walked away.

I turned from him and squatted back to examine the Shigavant that was still knocked out on the ground. This creature had extremely tough skin, and I wanted to get a sample of it before I sent it up. Sofia might be able to do this, but there were going to be a lot of monsters to look over, so I thought this was best to get a sample for my body to study.

Opening a slot in the cage that was around the Shigavant, I reached in and tried to cut the skin using a sharp root. Even with it as sharp as I could make it, my roots made no mark. I heated up the blade to glow red and pressed it to the skin, and still not ever burning.

"What the hell is this thing made out of?!" I asked myself, but then I heard something.

"Fuck!"

The next thing I knew, Eddie, in his Master Chief suit, was tossed over beside me to bounce off the metal flooring. I looked over to where he had been thrown from, and there were some pig-like creatures with red eyes. Each of them was about five feet tall and covered in tattoos all over their piss yellow skin.

"You okay? Looks like things are going well?" I asked curiously as Eddie picked himself back up.

"Shut up! Stupid pigs caught me off guard! That's it! I am going to go bring the noise and show them a whole new world of hurt!" Eddie snapped as the five of the massive creatures spread out around us, but I sniffed.

"Did you piss yourself? Can you even do that?" I asked as I wrinkled my nose, and Eddie growled.

"I walked into one taking a piss!" Eddie growled as he marched over to the five creatures.

I was supposed to be doing my own thing, but this was far too entertaining. I ran a scan over one of the creatures and nodded as the information popped up.

[Target: Orrowkai]

[Type: Carnivorous humanoid]

[Height: 4.5-5.5 feet tall]

[Description: Pig-like humanoids with piss yellow skin. Large naturally muscled, and not wise alone. They have tusks that come from their mouths and small curly tails.]

[Attributes: The more Orrowkai in one place, the smarter each of them is. If more than 100 gather, they can reach the same level of intelligence as humans. Naturally angry creatures, and do not work together well, but listen to their Felnka if a group has one. It can be found on nearly all Surperterra Planets, but the breeds vary.]

[Danger level: 6]

Smarter as a group, but didn't like to work together. Not sure why, but this resonated with me as I watched Eddie approach the group of Orrowkai. I almost considered calling up Sofia or Omega to start making bets, but I just watched instead.

"You!" Eddie shouted, pointing at the central Orrowkai with a black marking on his face that strongly resembled male genitalia. "Oochi baga!"

"Killika moro fala!" The dick-faced Orrowkia laughed back, and Eddie gave it the finger.

"What did you just say to it?" I asked curiously.

"Translate it, dipshit. You just fucking scanned the damn thing, or am I the only one with a brain?" Eddie snapped, and I gave him the finger, but that was useful.

[Translating Orrowkia to English]

"Great, now I can understand, but that still doesn't tell me what you said," I said, but Eddie ignored me as he marched over to the group.

The five looked like dwarves and pigs had gone at it, but they did look like they could be useful. There was also information that I had read about them getting smart when there was more in a group. That made me wonder if there was a civilization of these creatures.

"Beznk, go kill that shiny thing."

"You, I do what I want. You pissed on it. Made angry. Not my problem."

"Can I kill the other one?"

"Do you even piss on your own?"

"Why? You want to help?"

"I don't help, or I rip it off," The smaller of the five said.

Interesting. These creatures were definitely not the smartest hammers in the bag, but it was clear that they were at least slightly intelligent.

"I think we should just kill them all. They are a bunch of handicapped juice monkeys, and we don't need any more of that!" Eddie declared as his arm became a particle beam cannon.

"Put your gun down, you idiot! This is the first intelligent race of monsters we have found, and you want to kill them?" I snapped as I walked over to put my hand on his arm, pushing his weapon down.

"It didn't piss on you," Eddie growled, and I rolled my eyes.

"You could have scanned and been able to tell that they were in the room, dipshit," I replied.

"Then you deal with them! I am going to find something that I can kick the shit out of!" Eddie snapped and turned to march off to the right side of the floor.

This left me with the five Orrowkai, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. The first step was to see if I could make some kind of contact with them.

"Whippa!" I said, and all five flinched. This was not the reaction I was hoping for, but this was the translation for hello.

"What you want? Put us back in cage?" Beznk, the dick-faced Orrowkia asked.

"Depends… Will you listen?" I asked, and Beznk frowned.

"Listen to what?" Beznk asked in confusion, but the smaller smacked him.

"To him, Oochi! This is why we got caught first time. You too Oochi," The smaller one hissed, and I started to notice the slight difference between it and the other four.

I ran another scan on just this one, and it was as I thought.

"You are a female?" I asked curiously, already knowing the answer, and the small one nodded.

"Yes, I am Fllna. Do you want to mate me? You look thin but stand strong. You make good looking baby. These ones only make ugly."

"Uhh, umm, not really what I was going for. I already have many she, no need for more," I said with an uneasy smile.

This thing looked not a lot different than a pig with legs, and there was very, very, very little to discern the male and female. Possibly I could do some editing, but fucking everything that moved was not on my to-do list.

"You tiny man, I would break you anyways. What you want from us then, if you no want breed me?" Fllna asked, and I shrugged.

"Nothing yet. I just want to know if you are a friend or monster," I replied, but there was no word for friend in Orrowkia, so it came out in English.

"Fri…end? What is this thing?" Beznk asked, speaking up.

"You know, like someone you can… trust…." I said, but this time Trust didn't translate. This made me feel uneasy about them.

For a language to be missing words like friend and trust meant they didn't have either of them. That was bothersome and made me wonder what I would even do with these people. If I couldn't trust them nor could they make friends, there was hardly room for them in our world.

Still, I didn't want to give up on them yet. While this race wasn't hyper-intelligent like the Drakar or Gideons, they still communicated, and I could work with that. Still, Rome wasn't built in a day, and I needed to gather the rest of what I came here for.

"Do you all mind if I put you into cages for now? I have to get the rest of the creatures on this floor cleared up. Once I am done, I will be moving everyone to a safer place where you will have more room and freedom to a degree," I explained, but again, the words freedom, safer, and degree didn't translate, but they seemed to understand what I meant.
