Chapter 3 - The three unfortunate stooges

lights with a slight red hue flashed.

A light brown Zooman with a tired face walked inside a room filled with lockers with echoed steps, benches, and the stench of sweat.

He had casual clothes on his foreign build with a white T-shirt and brown khakis.

The old smell of sweat drifted into his face as he opened the locker causing his stubby nose to wrinkle

The locker room door opened again.

The light brown Zooman stepped back to observe who was coming inside.

Two other Zoomans walk inside in the same casual clothing.

"Fred, Dillion?"

"Al?" Said Fred who was the dark green Zooman.

"Haven't seen each other in a while Al." Said the red Zooman.

" I heard you started a family Fred!"

"Yeah, I did. I was ready to settle down and relax for the rest of my life but I got a call. Obviously, you all got one too."

Al finishes changing his clothes. He wore a black uniform with a silenced rifle by his side.

Al looked back and noticed everyone else was ready.

"Yeah, I got a call. I wish I didn't." Al sighed

"Yeah same here I wanted to sit on my ass for a bit longer."

The group laughed and talked and left the locker.

<***>

Our monster found himself standing in a small field. He could hear the distance chirps from the animals of Planet AD-131. The grass was green and the air had a cold Breeze. The smell of unpolluted air was pleasing, to say the least until he could smell the occasional animal facies but overall it was nice to be out in nature, Nevermind with the destruction behind him, but was accurate to what he was now.

he found a pond of water with duck-like yet horned creatures grazing inside. The pond showed the reflection of his face.

He is a tall black and white beast surrounded by black spores. He looked as if he was hostile to this very planet itself. His face was angular sets of sharp and long teeth with curling horns spewing spores and black wide eyes that were horizontal with white dots traversing inside.

he was truly a monster

The spores around his body have gained more intensity but not enough to cover his tall body completely.

"Alright, since I have some space to breathe let's run some tests." He thought

"AAAAAH!"

His voice was deep and alien to his original.

"I can somehow speak properly without lips. He recognized.

"Now for the second test. What do these spores even do."

Again he moved the spores but this time further away. They were now in the woods out of his view.

"huh? I can still tell where they are."

He brought them back and made them split in half then moved them separately fairly easily.

he decided to give up for the time being.

Shrub.

He heard something move in the trees in the distance. With a glance, he could make out something or in fact someone in the woods.

"What the fuck?" He said out loud.

It was three Zoomans dressed in black. Their lanky bodies were something new to his large black eyes.

But they were surprised that this foreign monster could speak and was on there and a beast was really here.

They quickly brought their gun up!

"^%%{#^{*{%" said Fred in-front of our monster

Our monster put his massive claws in the air showing his surrender

"Hello, I mean no harm fowl umm." He said loud and quickly.

"Seems like we won't have time for reinforcements," Said Al

"which means we have to kill it now." Said, Fred.

"Let's go." Said, Dillion.

";#]#]%%"

#%^#%{%"

"%{{%%|"

Our monster was puzzled he saw their intent to shoot then they proceeded to raise their guns even higher.

"Wait hold up wait for a second."

Boom!

The first shot went out. They all unloaded their mags. As he is getting shot he can only feel pain and something seems to be swarming inside him.

Immediately the spores began to react on their own.

They started to swarm the three soldiers.

They stop shooting and began to wave their hands as much as possible.

Our monster started to get his baring now that he wasn't getting shot at.

All three of them screamed in agony as they were swarmed by the black spores that seems like the forever twisted abyss to them.

Our monster did not quite understand what he has done but whatever he did t was effective. All three of them fell to the ground. The intensity of the swarm died down and a lot of the spores were missing.

"Serves you right!"

With all the holes in his body, he wanted to lie down on the grown then ground until he was dead.

He felt a change coming from these dead aliens because a lot of his spores were inside them.

The dead had never been so active. Their bodies started to contort and move around. They even look as if they were ready to stand.
