Chapter 2 - A Horrible Monster

This thing that attacked Graham slowly gets up and Its inhuman status is shown through the unnatural movements. The Joints in this creature allows itself to get up in a weird way that makes a sound of bending metal like it doesn't have bones. The creature spits up some thick black goop from Graham's Kick then it suddenly straightens its body.

"The hell is this monster..." Graham looks at this monster with a disturbed face. It's uncanny for him to see such a Humanoid creature move like that.

One of the blobs that was on the fighter Spaceship was opened with some purple Ooze leaking everywhere. This creature clearly came out of it which interests Alloy who's scanning the area while Graham deals with the Monster. She's not worried about Graham but Leslie is filled with fear, That monster is merely one person away from ripping her apart! The Second Blob starts opening and something bursts out.

"Graham! Watch out!" Alloy yells to warn Graham about this second monster. There's fear in her artificial voice.

Graham turns to block the other monster's claws but it cuts through his Sword and leaves a massive Gash across his chest. This monster has long arms with sharp claws on its hands with the same Chrome appearance as the first one. He grabs the monster's forearm as soon as it finishes the attack and Slams the monster into the hard dirt. He managed to flip the whole monster while lifting it into the air in one huge movement. The monster lets out a gurgle in its dying moments from its crushed head.

"Hey! Are you still stuck in this ship?" Alloy flies to Leslie to check out those weird crystals and finds them interesting before running some basic scans. These crystals have many oddities about them and their prismatic appearance is the clearest one.

Leslie gives this small Hologram A.I a pissed off look since she's trying her best. These Crystals are pretty tough and oddly prismatic in appearance. She doesn't actually feel normal? It's like apart of her skin which plants some worry in her for whatever happened before crashing to this planet. She feels an odd relaxation in the crystals and they regress into her body.

"Not anymore!? I have no idea how that worked." Leslie is very shocked at how that happened but seeing Graham easily kill one of those monsters helped? She stands up and takes aim with her blaster.

Graham turned back to the Metal humanoid. This monster throws a punch towards him, He dodges to the side. It was close and the force was felt from the air, That would've been bad with his current injuries. His blood loss was draining his strength. The blood isn't going to stop fast enough which means this fight needs to be finished quickly.

"I hate to use my parents' gift on something like this but I have no choice." Graham says while something odd starts flowing towards his hand like a liquid? It's like a vortex forming out of a Star filled darkness.

Graham's hand is covered in something that appears like a beautiful night sky but It's more solid than before, like it entered a semi-solid state. He motions his hand outward at the monster that causes this Starry darkness to form a blade to impale the monster in the stomach! He feels dizzy afterwards. This monster needed to be defeated quickly. It starts oozing Black ooze from its body but not enough to kill it yet.

"Damn it, Too much blood loss." Graham feels even more dizzy and his balance starts to get messed up. It's bad but smiles at an idea. This might drain more stamina than needed, However, His choices are low.

He covers the gash on his chest with the Starry Darkness in its solid form to stop the bleeding but that drains his already weakened stamina. He needed to keep fighting because these things shouldn't exist, They're a threat! More of the starry Darkness forms around his hands and he throws a few punches into the body of this monster.

It loses more of that black ooze from that wound and it starts opening its mouth wide then tries to bite down on Graham but a sound of a blaster fires off. The monster gets a mouth full of a blaster shot and actually lets out a screech of pain before Graham covers both his hands in more of that Starry Darkness to unleash two powerful punches that leaves two massive dents. The creature finally falls to the ground dead.

"Good shot, Leslie... I'm definitely helping..." Graham falls to the ground with his vision fading to black as Alloy rushes to him.

Leslie panics while looking for her medical kit inside of Spaceships Cockpit. It's luckily not damaged from the crash, The case seems to be designed for these kinds of crashes. She rushes to Graham while Alloy checks his vitals.

"Thank goodness, He's still alive but losing too much blood. We need to stop it so his regeneration can manage the rest." Alloy tells Leslie who's holding the medical kit.

Leslie pulls out a small handheld device with a gray fluid in a vial. She turns him on his back to spray a foam on his massive Gash which slowly hardens and sticks to his wound. Alloy has a sigh of relief. They wait for the foam to harden but it doesn't take long with this kind of wasteland. Alloy motions for Leslie to follow her while She picks up Graham. These two leave behind the crashed spaceship and travel to Graham's Ship.
