Chapter Text
Tommy glanced around the weird space-cage he was in for what seemed like the millionth time that day, it was just a cramped, white box with some weird transparent blue force field thing for walls. Tommy had tried everything he could to break through any part of it but, to put it bluntly, he couldn't. There were several other cages next to his, each having their own weird monstrosity of an alien in them, okay, maybe calling them monstrositys was a bit harsh, after all, they were just as trapped as him, and just like him, they were probably also kidnapped even though they haven't done sh*t to deserve it!
In front of the cages were the three aliens that kidnapped him, they stood at a market table booth of some kind, the alien to the left was some kind of weird dark blue golem thing wearing a black cloak, it had no eyes and some weird fin things coming out of the sides of it's head that glowed turquoise at every sound, the middle alien was bat-like, dark brown fur covered it's body, it had wings for arms and, strangely enough, it had very human-looking legs. Well, if you ignored the bat fur and clawed feet, the bat alien wore a white tank top and black shorts. The third alien that was to Tommy's right looked a lot like a giant black and white rattlesnake, if rattlesnakes had arms that is.
Tommy watched as a black... Dragon alien? That was wearing some sort of futuristic white and red space armor approached the table the three alien WRONGINS stood at. The dragon alien talked with the snake alien in some weird language that Tommy had never heard before, after a couple seconds the dragon alien pointed at one of the cages, the cage it pointed at had a small, light blue fairy thing inside. The dark blue golem picked up the cage and placed it onto the table where the dragon alien placed two black bricks with specks of gold, the bat alien took the bricks and the dragon alien picked up the cage with the fairy and walked off. Tommy's eyes widened in realization, they were being SOLD. he was going to get SOLD! This had to be some kind of black market sh*t! Before Tommy could get even more angry/scared he had a thought, if he gets bought, the alien that buys him surely won't want to keep him in this tiny cage, so he would probably be able to escape once whatever dumb alien unlocks his current prison. The blonde boy smiled, he could figure other things out once he was free.
It had been a couple... Hours, maybe? Tommy couldn't tell, but something he could very clearly tell is that every alien that glanced at him instantly made a face, he couldn't figure out what exact emotion it was 'cause, aliens, but based off of the fact each alien would either freeze or quickly walk away, it was pretty obvious that they were scared. The aliens were scared of him! Tommy didn't know how to feel about that, should he be upset? Relieved? Confused? He didn't know.
Eventually, a goat like alien with blonde fur wearing an obnoxiously lime green coat and a lava alien that was mostly orange, white, and black approached the booth, eyeing Tommy. The boy watched as the goat alien talked with the three kidnapper aliens, gesturing to him a few times.
After a couple minutes of the aliens talking in their weird space language, the goat alien placed fifteen black and gold bars onto the table, Tommy huffed out an annoyed sigh 'at least I'm worth a decent amount of money.' The dark blue golem walked over to Tommy's cage, picked it up, and placed it on the table, just like it had with the fairy alien's cage. The lava alien picked up his cage and the two aliens began walking away, okay... Maybe Tommy's escape plan wasn't going to be as easy as he thought, he could feel the heat radiating off of the lava alien, if that thing even touched him, he would definitely get burned, for now though, all Tommy could do is wait.
The two aliens brought Tommy to, what he could only assume is, their spaceship, it was much bigger than the spaceship the three kidnapper aliens had, not to mention the several other spaceships in the area. As the aliens and Tommy got closer to the ship, the ship's door opened, stopping at the ground and creating a ramp to the inside. 'How the f*ck did it just open on it's own li- oh, the goat guy has some sort of remote to it...' Tommy cringed at his dumb thought.
Entering the ship, Tommy looked around the best he could at the various holograms and panels in the room, he couldn't see much because of the lava alien that held his cage was blocking his view. The blonde human pressed his face up against the force field to try to get a better look but, all he was able to see was the space hologram he had seen upon entering the room and a brief glance at another alien that was light blue.
The goat alien lead the lava alien down a frankly very boring hallway, it was completely white and made of metal, so not exactly cozy. The two aliens turned right down a different hallway, coming to a very secure looking door, the goat alien placed it's weird partially-hooved hand on a screen next to the door, after about one or two seconds the door opened and the two aliens walked through.
Upon entering the new hallway, Tommy's eyes went wide with fear at what he saw, the hallway had several rooms on either side, each room had three white metal walls with one transparent wall and a transparent door, the actual scary part about it though, was the fact that nearly every single room had some kind of odd creature in it. Tommy was able to catch glimpses of some of the creatures, one looked a lot like the light blue fairy that was sold to that dragon alien, except this one only had the beautiful blue color on the right side of it's body, the other side was gray and it's left wing was a ghostly white. 'Are these f*ckers collecting rare creatures or some sh*t!?' Tommy thought as he frantically looked around at all of the odd aliens.
"⏃⌰⍀⟟☌⊑⏁ ⌇⏃⌿⋏⏃⌿, ⌿⎍⏁ ⏁⊑⟒ ⊑⎍⋔⏃⋏ ⟟⋏ ⏁⊑⟟⌇ ☊⟒⌰⌰." The goat alien commanded, and before Tommy knew it, one of the force field walls of his current cage disappeared, and the one on the opposite side forcefully pushed him out into one of the empty rooms. Recovering from the fall as quickly as he could, Tommy ran to the door of his new prison, before he could reach it though, the cell door quickly snapped closed. Tommy banged on the door with all his strength, "NO! NO, NO, NO, NO! f*ck YOU! LET ME OUT, YOU ASSHOLES! YOU f*ckERS!" Tommy screamed, continuing to try to force the door open to no avail. The lava alien began to move towards the door but was stopped by the goat alien, "⋏⍜, ⟟'⌰⌰ ⊑⏃⋏⎅⌰⟒ ⏁⊑⟟⌇, ⏁⊑⟒ ⊑⎍⋔⏃⋏ ⋏⟒⟒⎅⌇ ⏁⍜ ⌰⟒⏃⍀⋏ ⍙⊑⍜'⌇ ⟟⋏ ☊⊑⏃⍀☌⟒ ⍜⋏ ⏁⊑⟟⌇ ⌇⊑⟟⌿." The lava alien took a few steps back as the goat alien took out a black stick from it's coat pocket and opened the door to Tommy's cell.
Tommy immediately ran toward the goat alien, intending to tackle it to the ground and run, instead, the goat alien held out the black stick it had pulled out and pressed a button on it, the tip of the stick glowed as it pressed against Tommy's body. Tommy stumbled back into the cell when he felt his limbs painfully jolt inward as electricity coursed through his body, the door once again closed and the two aliens stared at him as he curled in on himself from the pain.
When the pain stopped, Tommy stayed curled up on the ground but managed to shoot a tearful glare at the aliens. Seeing that their newest prisoner was still alive, the two aliens walked off, seemingly content with what they had just done to him.
Once the aliens were out of view, Tommy finally let the tears that had welled up in his eyes fall, the blonde teen did want to be in a different situation when he was with the three aliens that had originally kidnapped him, and while Tommy didn't realize it yet, the situation he is in now, is much, much worse.
