Hey guys! I'm back!
I don't know if any of you watch or have watched Trollhunters or the new show 3Below, but if you haven't you really need to watch it! It's such a fantastic series and worth the watch. Especially if you have family to watch it with.
This story is based on 3Below. There will be spoilers for the 10th episode called The Arcadian Job. You really need to watch this episode, because this is what I imagine this episode to be like if they didn't manage to escape.
So, I hope that you like it and please let me know what you think! :)
Chapter 1:
Watching Krel get hurt was one of the worst moments of Aja's life. One moment they were hanging onto Buster and were almost across the wall, the next moment, they were thrown of due to a blast from the neurometer weapons they were all carrying.
She watched as her brother fell to the ground unconscious and as still as a board. It was terrifying to know that he was out so cold, that no response would be coming.
"Krel!" Aja ran over to her little brother and began to cradle him in her arms. She felt tears begin to well up in her blue eyes. She felt the rumble of Varvatos' footsteps follow closely behind her.
"Prince Krel! No!" Vex ran his big hands through Krel's bright blue hair and then down his face, "We need to get him out of here. Where is the blasted ops team?"
"Flank them and get me the one who is knocked out!" Aja turned and saw the commander of the base point toward Krel, "He'll be a fantastic edition to our collection."
"You can't have him!" Aja stood up, leaving Vex to tend to Krel.
"I don't think you have a choice!" The lady pointed the neurometer toward Aja and charged it, "He's coming with me whether you like it or not."
But the lady changed her aim last minute and shot it toward Vex and Krel.
The shot landed on Vex who was lucky and dodged it last minute. He raised the shield from his serrator, but the blast knocked him away from Krel. Aja quickly ran over and raised her shield to protect her vulnerable brother from further harm.
The lady charged, shooting the whole way but missing every time. This seemed to make her angry. She stopped at a rather close range and shot one more time. It hit Aja's shield and caused her serrator to flicker out.
"No!" Aja was practically standing over Krel who still have a hold of the last piece they needed to fix their ship and go home. The officer smiled and took aim once more. She pulled the trigger and it hit Aja. This time however, it didn't seem to knock Aja out, but it made her fall to the ground. She slumped and almost fell on Krel.
Some of the men that accompanied the officer walked up behind Aja and started handcuffing Krel's four arms together. Even in the midst of feeling weak and being defenseless, she grabbed the circuit from her brother's grasp before the soldiers or the lady could and prepared to throw it.
"Vervatos, catch!" She saw Vex stand to his feet and she chunked it as hard as she could in his direction. She smiled when she realized he caught it.
Her victory was short lived however, when a wave of pain hit Aja and she used her top two arms to clutch her chest from the previous blast.
She looked up and saw the officer standing over Krel, gun pointed over his core. Aja gasped and fell backward into the arms of another soldier in a hazmat suit.
"If you want these two to remain alive," The officer turned toward Vex who had prepared to attack, "You'll back down and leave this place. I have this gun set to kill."
The gun was then shoved into Krel's chest and charged up. She held her finger to the trigger and prepared to fire.
"What will it be?" Aja watched the conflicted emotions fall across Vex's face.
"We'll be fine Vex! Krel's life is too important!"
"You should take her adviceā¦. Vex was it? I won't ask again!" Aja watched as the trigger was squeezed a little bit harder. She broke free from the soldier's grasp and shielded Krel's body with her own. She buried her head into her little brother's shoulder and squeezed him as tight as she could.
"Fine!" Vex raised his hands and started backing toward the front gate. He managed to also grab a hold of Stuart who had retreated from the confines of the wall he was hiding behind, "We'll be going now."
"See to it that I don't catch you around here ever again."
And that left the two royals on their own.
Aja relaxed her grip on Krel, tears streaming down her face in pure relief that he didn't die right in front of her. She wished he was awake to help her escape, but she was just glad that he was alive for the time being.
"Well then what to do with you two," the officer knelt down to meet Aja's gaze. She then advanced toward Krel, prompting Aja to tighten her grip on her little brother for a second time.
Aja raised her second set of fists and raised them.
"You stay away from us!" Aja tried to back up but ended up backing up into the soldier who had grabbed her before. She had forgotten that she didn't not have her Serrator with her.
The officer just smiled menacingly.
"Do you think that we took you to not get an up close and personal look at you?" The lady stood up and looked toward the soldiers standing behind Aja and then down at the duo once more, "You're sorely mistaken."
Aja screamed when Krel was roughly take from her grasp. She was pulled to her feet and then dragged in the opposite direction than they were taking her brother. She was scared for him. In his unconscious state, who knew what these humans would do to him.
"No! Let me go!" Her four arms were then cuffed behind her keeping her from lashing out at anyone.
"If you cause any trouble, young lady, your friend here is toast," Aja watched as Krel was carried away to who knows where away from her view. The officer turned to follow the crew carrying Krel and then ordered them to take him to their infirmary.
Aja fought the whole way to a cell that they threw her in. The bars were made of something Aja had never seen before. The room was sterile with a table on the opposite end of the room than the cell was. The walls were also covered in the earth cabinets and some shelves.
They un-cuffed her before they threw her in and then left. Since it was night, Aja could only assume that they were going home or to their quarters for the night.
She hugged her knees and brought them up to her chest. Her thoughts kept on drifting back to Krel, knocked out by the neurometer. His prone form lying on the ground, but still clutching to the Osmic circuit like his life, well more accurately their parents' lives, depended on it.
Tears began to fall. She buried her head into her upper arms and just let the sobs loose. She was terrified. Terrified of what they would do to Krel, terrified of the fact that they had been captured. Luckily it was by no one who wanted to take them back to General Morando, but it was still as bad. The many stereotypes that people said were said of aliens would experiment on humans, were truer of said humans.
Exhaustion soon set in and Aja soon felt the call to sleep. She tried to keep from falling into the bliss of darkness, but it was too much for her. She soon succumbed to sleep trying not to let the bad thoughts overrule the need for rest.
