Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 248 Not To Bad For An Alien



"Oh, man! Those aliens are going to kill me if I leave here without him!" Ethan complained as he placed around Daniel's motionless body. The bastard had made the transition into the place like it was nothing, but Ethan had seen the crystal fall out of the alien, or whatever Daniel was.

Ethan had been stuck in here for over two years, and it looked like this time it would be for the rest of his unnatural life. While once he lived, the years spent in here would hit him on the way out; while Ethan was in here, he would not get older or younger, even if time seemed long in here.

"I should have just let him toss me in here! Dammit! Even if he does wake up, his brain is going to be all fucked up anyways! Dammit! Why did the world have to go and get all fucking messed up?! Aliens out of their cages meant the world really is fucked!" Ethan groaned but then heard a noise and turned to look at the slumped-over alien.

Suddenly, Daniel started to move again, and Ethan jumped back.

[Daniel]

I snapped back into my body and lifted the gem up to my head, and it absorbed back in before I looked up at Ethan. "You're a real prick, you know that?"

"Yeah, as if it isn't the camel's own ass talking! You are the one that sent me back in here! You fucking deserved it!" Ethan gloated, jumping back while stabbing a finger at me as I got up.

"Yeah, well, you are just lucky that I feel mercy today," I muttered as I dusted myself off more out of force of habit before looking back up at Ethan with a glare.

"What the fuck ever!" Ethan said and then turned around. "This is the place that you were looking for, and you need me to show you around! It's filled with all sorts of things that I can't touch, but I am or was the only one that can take things in or out. 90% of things are locked up, the rest are so alien that I wouldn't even know where to start, and I have studied some of them for a long time. Another thing is that time is super weird here. The longer you stay, the more stretched it becomes, if you know what I mean."

"Oh! that reminds me, I removed Gian, the being that was making people go crazy. She wants to thank you one day for keeping her company," I said, and Ethan stepped back.

"There was actually someone there?!" Ethan asked in shock, and I nodded as I walked over to him.

"Yes, Gian is a Queen that was trapped in here. I have her now, but she told me that you seemed like you understood the words that she said? Is that true?" I asked curiously, and Ethan shrugged.

"It's hard to say. I always felt something watching me, and it creeped me out at first. But after a few years, I started talking about that feeling. Sometimes it was like I could feel the intensity of the feeling decrease or get stronger, so I was able to get whatever it might want to say. I just thought that it was a lingering feeling from when I was nuts, but this didn't talk to me and tell me scary shit. It was nice, and I thought that it might just be gone because you were here," Ethan explained, and I nodded.

"Well, come on and show me this place and things that you know about that are important and that are locked away," I said, and Ethan nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I could show you around. Kinda made my day about... Gian? That is an interesting name... Was she hot?" Ethan asked, and I laughed.

"She was cloaked in shadows, but I have to build her a new body. Never know, the Queen of the Waves might be looking for a partner. There are more of these cubes somewhere that have all her people, so if you can help me find them, I am sure it will give you some brownie points with her," I suggested, and Ethan nodded appreciatively.

"You know, you aren't that bad after all. Bit of a fucking weirdo, but I can dig that. Sure, I know where everything in this place is. When I came here, my head cleared up so well that I gained a photographic memory, so I know where everything is. Come with me this way; there are a few interesting things I want to show you along the way," Ethan explained, waving for me to follow him into the strange massive space with a smile.

It was filled with shelving that went up so far that I couldn't see the top, and it was lined with metallic boxes I assumed were locked and some other strange things I had never seen before. I followed Ethan as he started to point things out.

"That is a weapon that can shoot through any substance known to man. Of course, it is useless because there is nothing in here that it can hurt, and the only thing outside of here that it could hurt would be you or me," Ethan explained as he pointed to a weird-looking gun. "This box over here has nanites in them that can eat through anything given enough time."

Ethan continued on like this for quite some time, and I was getting overwhelmed with the information. It seemed like everything in this place was designed to kill or destroy something. After a while, we came across a section that had a bunch of seed-looking objects.

"These are the things that you were looking for," Ethan said, and I walked over to them curiously. "I don't know what they do, but each one of these has a different person's memories in them."

"Do you know how to get them out?" I asked, and Ethan shrugged.

"No clue. I just always assumed that they went in there and then died or something. I never really thought about it too much," Ethan said, and I sighed.

I was curious to know what kind of people would be stored inside of them, but this is not what I came for. I needed to get the cubes secured and then get back out to the other two, so I could finish clearing this place out and get back home.

I needed to get some more training in with Calishora and with Dawn. I also needed to start loading humanity into these cubes, and I did not think that it was going to be easy.

"Well, I will get my Sofia to look at them once we have them back. Let's get going to where the cubes are, and then you can wait in here till I get this cube back to the Central Forest," I said, and Ethan nodded.

"You sure? Just don't leave me in here for too long; I am getting old too fast!" Ethan complained as we started to walk.

"Don't worry about that," I said and reached a hand over to put on Ethan's should, and he stopped as his body started to get younger and more healthy.

"No fucking way! What the fuck are you, you beautiful creature!" Ethan shouted and suddenly gave me a hug, and I laughed as he let go right away and jumped back in embarrassment. "Sorry! Just, fuck, this is cool! You can just do whatever the fuck you want! Make people younger, build bodies, fucking rebuild yourself! What can't you do?"

"Get you to lead me to where I want to go?" I chuckled, and Ethan palmed his forehead.

"Yeah, Yeah, come one!"

Ethan led the way, and it didn't take long before we came across the section that had a case that was supposed to have all the cubes. One of my metal vines splashed into the lock, and soon the metal case opened to reveal all the cubes.

"Alright, so now you just have to keep these with you, and I am heading back out to finish what I am doing. I would have liked to get your help with the Shalgoth, but I am sure I will figure it out," I said, and Ethan nodded.

"Just turned the lights back on and that thing will be super easy to capture. The Shalgoth, according to what we learned from other aliens, is infinity strong, but the Silence plus any kind of light will turn it into a blob of ink," Ethan explained, and I nodded.

"Good to know; now I will be off. You can go back to whatever it is that you were doing," I said, and Ethan nodded before he turned away.

I had only taken a few steps when he turned back around with a smile on his face. "You really aren't so bad for an alien."

The corner of my mouth lifted into a smirk as I pressed a few buttons on the device I had created on my wrist and stepped out of the cube.

Outside in the bunker, I could hear Mox roaring and Gobbles squealing, and then they ran past the door. Then something much bigger and red bounded past the doorway.

What the hell happened while I was gone?!
