Chapter 1
I had finally gotten out of prison. I had killed one of the leaders of the galactic federation a few years back in cold blood:
"I am here to see an um...Mr. Tartus." I said quite nervously as I stood at his receptionists desk.
"He will be with you in just a moment. If you could just please take a seat over there by the desk." Said a quite fat human receptionist. I will deal with her after i take care of that horribly corrupt dictator of Corinthia.
"Thank you miss." I said trying to refrain from a grin. "Oh and you will be subject to search for any hostile items on your entry. Well you see its all precautionary. With the civil war and all." She sighed. I could tell that she had lost someone to the war.
"That's quite understandable." I laughed. I had a undetectable bomb to kill him. I was all set with my getaway too. It was a completely foolproof plan. I smiled. The receptionist starred at me odd. The phone rang and she picked up the phone.
"Mr. Tartus will see you now." She said. I stood up. I smiled again and walked into his office. Two mechs searched me and didn't find anything.
He was peering through his window that covered most of his office. It was a spectacular view of the city. There was a fire going off on an office building close by. That was my cue. "Hello Ted. How long has it been since I've seen you? 5 maybe 10 years?" A rather small chubby man chuckled. He turned around. "We used to be friends. I remember you quite well actually. We had a fight senior year. Have you come to seek your revenge?" He said as his eyes flashed red for a split second.
"You are smarter than I had thought Tartus. You killed my father the president of the galactic federation for power and became the dictator! How could i not seek revenge on you!" I screamed.
"Well i don't see how. Those mechs will find everything." He laughed again and his eyes flashed again.
I pulled out the bomb and pushed the two buttons. One would kill him and destroy half the building. The other half would shield me from the blast. The whole room exploded. I could feel the intense heat even through the shield. I turned on my jetpack as a fell. As i flew away the shield faded away. I looked back at the destroyed building feeling no regret. Their was a half circle sized hole in the building now. It was tumbling to the ground. I laughed manically and called my starship. I left the planet for what i thought would be the last time ever. I hid on my home planet for a week and they caught me. Someone from the first floor had surprisingly survived the explosion and had recognized me. She thought i had looked like a shady character. I was sent to prison.
Shockingly, I was only there for 10 years. A plasma pistol in my right hand, a small book with the words "Don't Panic" printed on the cover. Everything I needed to survive in the vast Milky Way galaxy. I was still going to be shunned from society because of what I did. I was walking around the employee parking lot looking for any way to get off the prison asteroid. Someone had wandered towards me.
"All right scum, quit loitering an' get outtaâ here." A very large security guard yelled at me as he spat in my direction.
"Gee I would love to if you would provide transportation for the few of us that actually get out of this heck hole!"
"Why you dirt bag! You give the pliigi race a bad name! Just get outta' here!!!" He screamed at me.
"Fine then!" I yelled as i shot at him with the pistol. It was a direct shot to the head. I grabbed his ship keys he dropped when i shot at him. I pressed the panic button stupidly enough. A ship alarm went off in the distance. 10 years on this god forsaken prison asteroid had been long enough. I sprinted to the sound of the alarm. Plasma was barely missing me as they shot towards me. I had made it. Ironically enough his license plate said "big border guard"� I hopped inside ignited the engine. He had one of the safest cars from when I had been thrown in jail. I sped off laughing at the low security at the time. And to think, I had been worried about not making it off the planet. I had thought I was in the all clear in terms of escaping. I would find a new name, hideout; I would use my plant DNA and change my face structure. All would be fine. And there had been 20 other prisoners released at the same time as me so it could have been anyone that killed that guy. Also, half of them had been pliigi just like me.
After flying for about an hour I had decided to let my guard down a bit. All would be fine I kept telling me. But then it hit me. I had no idea where in the galaxy I was. I slowed down as much as I could. I looked around to check my surroundings. There were thousands of asteroids around me. Well. Then I saw a green laser go right by my ship. I sped up to avoid getting hit by those lasers again. How had they found me so fast? I checked around the ship for anything that could allow me being found. I found a tracking device. Maybe they weren't as dumb as I thought...I started panicking. I had gotten careless and ran head on into a meteorite. It critically damaged the prison guard's ship. I lost control of it. I started plummeting towards a planet...the ship had caught fire from a different laser they had shot at me... I looked forward and all I could see was a densely overgrown planet through the flaming window...all hope was lost...I was surely to die...
Chapter 2
I opened my eyes. Everything was static and a loading screen appeared on my eyes. Odd. Well I'd better not worry about it now. I bet i am dead. That crash was horrible. All i remember was hitting the planet hard and blacking out.
"Doctor, I think he's waking up." A voice said.
"How are you feeling?" A slightly deeper voice said. I could see now.
"Uh? I'll be fine." I looked around the room. There were some pictures on the wall and a cheery looking doctor and nurse. "Are they still after me?"
"Well uh. There is no easy way to tell you this. Nurse bring me a chair." She brought him a chair, started weeping, and left the room. What was her problem?
He sat down. "Your ship plummeted to the planet three weeks ago. The whole thing was aflame. We saw the scene on the security cameras. You see. This is a remote planet with a small amount of scattered civilizations. We are trying to protect the vast ecosystem but the Galactic fleet keeps trying to shut us down. They are starting to get violent about it. So we set up a security system to blast anything that comes into the planet without clearance."
"Is that what happened to my ship?"
"Yes."
"How did I survive the crash?"
"Well we save anyone trying to get in but they have to take a lie detector test to check if they work for the government when they wake up. And if they fail the test well we kill them. Except. Most anyone gets out with minor injuries. However, we never had a pliigi try getting in. Most government agents are human. So your injuries were greatly worsened because of your plant based DNA."
"And what do you mean by that?"
"Look at yourself." I looked down and I have mostly robotic parts. I checked the mirror and the only not robotic part was parts of my face.
"This...is perfect...heheh. I'm unrecognizable." I said with a huge grin. "As soon as i get out of here I can get myself a new life."
"Wh-Wh-Who are you?!?!" The doctor yelled as he got up and backed towards the door.
"I wonder how these work." I thought. I started thinking of a plasma cannon and my robotic left arm turned into one. The doctor backed against the wall and started shivering. "Don't worry. I'm not a serial killer. I only kill to protect myself or for revenge. I'm not completely heartless.
"Ok good. That's a..." BANG. The whole building shook. "What the heck was that!?!?!" The nurse ran into the infirmary. Doctor! They somehow disabled the security system! They are trying to get into the building as we speak! BANG! I heard screaming and gunshots. Oh god. They are either looking for me or they got ticked enough at these hippies. Either way it's not safe. I started running. I pushed the nurse out of my way. Plasma cannon...plasma cannon. As soon as i got into the hallway a laser shot past my face.
"Kill everyone except the head of the planet. Hey get that pliigi you buffoons!" A mortigan general yelled. The mechs started shooting at me as i ducked behind a crate. There had to be something. I jumped up onto the crate and started shooting at the mechs. The general jumped into the next room. More mechs came in. I ducked back behind and started looking for some way to escape. An air duct. I shot all the mechs and pointed the cannon towards the air duct. I shot and jumped in. Which way...My gut told me to go left. More gunshots and screams. I could hear the doctor pleading for his life.
I could see a light at the end of the duct. Yes! Freedom. I shot the duct and jumped out. I ran out of the clearing into the forest. I looked back and I saw some mechs dragging someone out with the mortigan general in front. The building exploded. I couldn't worry about that now. It is everyman for himself when there is anarchy on a planet. Something hit me from behind. Everything went hazy and i fell down. I blacked out.

"There were no signs of him in the wreckage sir." A badly wounded mech sighed.
"Take his blindfold off." The mech went over to the doctor and took of his blindfold. "Hello. Doctor."
"You'll never get our recourses you monster!!!"
"Your planets fate was decided the moment we bugged your security system. Thats not why we captured you though. We want all you know about the pliigi you had been harboring." Said the general.
"I refuse to answer any more questions until I know what happened to my nurse!" The doctor yelled defiantly.
"We killed her like everyone else in the building. Now tell us about the pliigi."
"You killed her!?!?! You monster!"
"Answer the question!!! I'm losing my patience!"
"I will not answer any question!!!!"
"Kill him. He is of no use to us. We will undermine that pliigi when we bulldozer over the planet." The general left the screaming doctor in the room.
"No!!!! Please don't destroy the..."Bang! The doctor went limp.
