Chapter Text
Niki had a bad feeling as soon as they left the ship. As soon as she entered Hypixel's seats she felt even worse. She snuck around and kept a plain white mask on. At first she thought it came with how uncomfortable she was around so many enemies until she saw her Captain being brutally and practically eaten by the ugly disgusting beasts right down in the pit.
She ducked around an entrance of the seats and pulled out her staff from her side. Clicking a button it came to life, fully extending into an electric stick. Pulling a blinder from her pocket she flung it to the ceiling. Sticking it there. Spdriders hate flashing lights, lights that don't really affect Niki’s sight.
She grinned slightly as the lights started. Rushing out from behind the doorway she twisted her body and hit the nearest Spdrider. She could smell the stench of blood and bodily fluids from up here. Since the Spdrider’s don’t really have a sense of smell, unless touching something, they where unbothered. It still was absolutely desensitizing to look at and see herself.
She could feel the tremble of the large stadium as she fought against them. All she could hear was the screams of pain from Technoblade. Time was running out. Her patience was growing thin. Spinning her staff she twisted her head to see the Terarren practically fussing over her caption. Her fins pinned back behind her with worry. Her throat felt like it was twisting. Not trusting it at all.
Twisting her body again she darted for an empty exit. Jumping over the stunned or dead Spdrider’s. Her nose closed at the stench. Running down the hallway she saw a figure in the darkness.
“What a surprise~ the Syndicate came to save their dear caption?” The voice taunted her, there hissing accent prominent.
The figure came into the light of her electric staff. Horns curled at the top of his head. His many arms curled around his figure like a natural cage. A ‘king’ Spdrider. Schlatt, Mr. J, the drunk. Whatever names most called him. He used to have a nice reputation until his ‘husband’ came forward and talked about his negative experiences after the Spdrider’s joined the Dreamons.
“Schlatt. Could say the same about you. I thought you would be up at your ship drugging away?” She growled out. Her fins flicked behind her with anger.
“Aw you wound me.” He said dully yet still kept that disgusting smirk on his face. “I was just here to see the lovely fight with the ‘Blood God’, after all, wouldn't it be nice to see him on his knees?” he laughed as Niki let out another growl.
Niki let out a croaking sound as she spoke. “Where's Technoblades ship.” she practically stated.
“Calm your scales. I don’t have a clue.” he said with a hum. “Though my Goons probably already sold it. Let's hope they didn't sell it to the Eggpire now, would we?”
She raised a fin as she looked at him with a dull expression on her face. Clearly not believing him. “You don't have an alliance with the Eggpire.” she stated without a doubt.
Schlatt just let out a hiss of disbelief. Overdramatic much? “Maybe? Maybe not?” he chuckled with his lie.
She pointed her electric staff closer to him with an impatient expression. Schlatt slunk back with an irritated expression.
“Fine fine water breather. I sold it to the Dreamons but a ship from Las Navada’s stole it like the feathered asses they are.” he insulted her and replied at the same time. How the man could state slurs like it was nothing was very agitating. No pity that Spdriders can't swim.
“Now can you take that staff away? Wouldn't want my Goons stopping your poor ship from lifting off now would we?” Niki’s fins flared up as she pushed passed him in a quick motion.
She could hear his taunting laughter as she rushed through the hallways towards the exit. Hoping that she wasn't too late.

“Now that we have the cap’ back then all we have to do is wait for Niki,” Sneeg stated confidently but Ranboo looked uncertain.
“What about Carl? Captain Technoblade will be pissed at us if we don't get it back!” Ranboo said frantically.
“Another thing is how in the stars are we going to care for a terrarien!?” the Enderling pointed his tail towards the blond laying on one of their medical nests.
Sneeg glided down from the counter and onto the nest right next to the terrarien. “And? Technoblade will probably be upset if we don't at least try. Right?”
Ranboo just warbled in reply, walking over to check up on the captain for the fifth time in the last blinks. Now Ranboo may be the ship's Doctor but even he felt sick just looking at Technoblades lost fingers.
It took a long while for the tech to bandage and heal over the skin. His fur wasn't doing so well on his paw either. The pinkish white almost gone in the middle and we aren't even talking about the burns on the inside of his outer armor. The electrical burns aren't looking good at all. The worst is the bite marks and claw marks the tech is in the middle of healing over.
He heard a sudden screech behind him as he almost replied with his own. Tuning quickly to see the terrarian upright in the nest and holding out Sneeg by his scruff. The Blond had a raised eyebrow with a dull expression. Sneeg just looked a bit sheepish.
Ranboo let out a squeak sound of alarm when he finally realised what was happening. Was the terrarian going to eat Sneeg?! But Sneeg looked fine. He wasn't freaking out or anything. Ranboo was kind of thankful for that because if he started to freak out then the enderling would freak out.
He warbled to get the blonds attention. “Um…you need to lay back down okay?” Rambo inched over nervously. Holding his paws out.
The terrarien just looked at him curiously and cautiously. “Put Sneeg down please?”
“Ya can you put me down bud?” Sneeg said in a bored tone. Gesturing for something in his language before the terrarian understood and put the inchling down.
Without questioning everything of life and how it was possible that he got in this situation he inched up to the nest. (hehe ‘inched’) Unsure what to do he just put a paw on the blond's shoulder and gently pushed him down. Sneeg just looked at him in complete shock as Ranboo is even surprising himself. The terrarien on the other claw was just following along with it like a lost strider.
“I actually can't believe that worked, honestly.” Sneeg finally said after a click.
Seeing the Terrarrien so domestic was very unnerving for him. Until he realized that all the blond was looking at was Technoblade. Cautiously looking at the tech with a curious gaze. Almost in awe at the new scene. Warbling again, Sneeg had finally climbed on Ranboo’s shoulder, the terrarien looked back at Ranboo.
Tilting his head slightly to show that he meant no harm the terrarien followed his movements. Ranboo looked at Sneeg for guidance if he understood what the blond was doing, the inchling looked just as confused as him.

This is the point where Phil is wondering if he is trapped on another ship for all eternity or are these new aliens going to understand that he WANTS to learn how to talk to them. Gestures and calm movements won't get you too far.
Phil may not be as lucky as other humans out in space but he is lucky enough to know that if he wasn't as strong as he is then he could have been trapped in a second way. Experimentation. Good news, that didn't happen, so he's ok with being in this strange med bay that had things in it that he has no understanding of. (Looking at all the fics of Tommy in space) Bad news is that he has no idea how Techno is doing.
Of course Phil can see that the two other aliens in the room are worried for multiple different reasons. One is shockingly not afraid of him but it's probably because the little moth could understand him to a degree. The taller black and white, Oreo is what he will go with, (Yes oreos were invented before ww2 I looked it up) is very cautious of him and looks like he will bolt at any movement but yet keeps glancing at Techno anyway.
Phil is just grateful that these aliens understand the concept of a heart beat. But seeing it on a robot type TV was very strange. He kind of wishes humans thought of this honestly. (oh what he don't know. Old man) watching that screen really was reassuring to him. The one friend he made in space almost died after all! At least Phil thinks so. Not that he knew honestly. Humans are stronger than aliens from what he's seen.
Snapping out of his thoughts when Oreo was holding something out to him. A bottle of water it looks like. The guy looked very nervous and unsure. From what Phil could tell, the alien had no clue how to take care of a human. Which made sense.
Gently he took the water from the poor alien. Oreo was just trying his best, truely. Of course it took a second for him to figure out how to open it. Honestly, can aliens be any more different? But finally taking a sip of fresh water felt so freeing. The cool water went down his throat as he realized how free he was now.
But what now? What's his plan?
In the military he always had a plan to follow. Rules to be met. But before that he just went with whatever the day took him. Maybe he can finally do that again.
Free he liked that.
Now actually looking at the alien moving around the room, or maybe he was pacing, do aliens do that? Anyway Oreo had a crown of horns on his head. His body split perfectly in half of white and black. He had spike-like feet that bend like a cat's wound. A tail similar to Technos, long and with fur at the end except it had a coil at the end. Oreo had long fur at the top of his head that curled around his ears that kind of looked similar to elves ears. Except the ears had a natural hole in the middle.
He was tall and probably about 6’6. His eyes were pure green and red. No pupils unless he was spooked or felt a certain way from what Phil had noticed. He had bird-like hands but covered in fur. His elbows had horns as well. Spikes went down his back in swirl like motions. He walked just as silent as a cat but had soft sounds always coming from where his mouth should be. Which he should mention that Oreo doesn't seem to have a mouth.
Things started to get a little hectic when a new pink water themed alien came in. Phil felt a little startled when he realized that he could see right through her stomach. At least she looked like a her but he didn't want to assume. That's just rude. He didn't have time to have an exact look at her because both Pink and Oreo left the room quickly.
Turning his head he looked at the moth like alien with confusion. The alien jumped and gilded down to where he was sitting on the medical bed. The Moth made wild gestures as the ship around them made a rumbling sound. Shaking slightly as the moth looked a bit more frantic. He pulled out a seat belt type strap from a glowing space off to the side.
Wait where they lifting off? Probably. Phil quickly grabbed onto the seat belt and pulled it to what seemed like a place to click it into. Things just keep appearing out of nowhere and honestly he could never understand the stuff here. Right before the moth alien could move to a safer place the ship lurched violently.
Phil quickly grabbed the moth alien and held him close. Looking at Techno just to still see him still passed out. But at least he was strapped in now. After a minute the ship seemed to calm down so he opened up his hand. The little moth guy was shaking like a leaf before he started to gesture wildly towards him.
Wow the little guys mad at Phil for scaring him. Honestly if Phil was picked up randomly he would be freaked out as well. Especially with how strong Phil was compared to him.
