The Protectors; Book 1

Tim Was Always Apart of Our Crew

Acron's POV:

I have no idea what I'm staring at.
"It's... so..." I gag at the sight of the creatures that stand before us.
"Oh.. my god." Bonnie looks disgusted.
"Hello!" The disgusting creature waves.
    There are 5 of them. Each ones head is a different size and shape. The two we're talking to just happen to be 4 ft and 6 ft. They're missing chunks of their flesh. They have no eyes. Just eye sockets. They smell like a rotten corpse that has been bathed in gasoline. It approaches up quickly.
"I am Bobo!" It... smiles?
"I... am Acron!" I gag at the stench, "One moment please." I go behind our jet and throw up.
They're so awful.

Bonnie's POV:

I can hear Acron throwing up.
"Is he okay?" Bobo asks.
Yep. He's just a bit sick from the flight down!" I lie.
"Oh! Okay!" They grin.
"Do you know of a person who may have sent out an S.O.S?" I ask.
"Yes! Follow us!" Bobo leads Acron and I to a small hut.
"Hello? We've come to help you!" Acron announces.
"Why you?" I hear a very familiar voice cry out from behind us.
Timmothy

Acron's POV:

So let's recap. That planet that we found with the idiots, the ones that praised us as gods, then got blown up by this Tim here.
"Why?" Is all I ask.
"I built myself a ship after decimating my village, then I flew off and crashed here." Tim cries, Bobo tries to hug him, but Tim cries harder.
"Would you like to migrate with us to the sacred grounds?" A small, extra ugly, one asks.
"Sacred grounds?" Bonnie asks.
"No! No we don't!" Tim sobs.
Tim walks really close to Bonnie and I, "It's the specific place where they... do their business."
"Hey Bonnie?" I glup.
"Yes, pal?" He turns, faking a smile.
"Remember that random brown and yellow spot on the globe overview Foxete showed us?" I ask.
"Oh god!" Bonnie looks from Tim to the creatures.
"This. This is what I've been dealing with!" Tim cries.
"Alright, Bonnie stay here. I'll take Tim up to the ship, then come down for you." I explain.
"No! No! Don't leave me down here!" Bonnie panics.
"There's only 2 seats." I sigh.
"I can squeeze!" Bonnie pouts.
"Nope! Let's go!" Tim cries making a dash for our jet.
"Bye Tim!" Bobo cheers.
"See you later Tim!" A smaller one with a wide, stubby head yells.
"Have a safe flight Tim!" A small one with a massive, long head waves their stubby arms.
I begin walking to the ship where I see Tim, in the passengers seat shaking and crying.
"You're safe now." I sigh.
"Not until I'm off the planet." Tim cries.
I start up the engines.
Bonnie'll be fine.

Bonnie's POV:

I watch in horror as these 5 seemly harmless creatures beat a sheep to death for doing its business on the grass and not in "The sacred grounds".
"A-Acron." I call my friend, "Buddy, you there?"
"Uh, yeah." Acron yawns.
"Please come pick me up." I cry.
"No can do. Need to refuel the jet's tank." Acron chuckles.
"I thought we filled it up!" I groan.
"Nope." Acron sighs
"How long will that take?" I ask.
"About 15 minutes, but another 5 to get down there, so I'll get cha' in like 20 minutes." Acron
"Okay, hurry! I just saw them beat a sheep to death for not using the sacred grounds as their bathroom." I whimper.
"Yep. Got it." Acron disconnects.
This is gonna feel like hours.

30 minutes later

Bonnie's POV:

I pace back and fourth on the mountainside.
"We won't go to the sacred grounds until you either come with us, or leave." Bobo nods, "I need to make sure you do not dishonor the sacred grounds."
"Oh! Alright." I smile falsely.
Suddenly, I hear my saving grace.
Our jet.
"Acron!" I yell, rushing to the jet.
He gets out and looks around.
"I hate it here. They beat each other up. That's why they're so disgusting." I whisper.
"It's alright buddy." Acron sighs, "I'm going to take you home."
"Bonnie, are you leaving?" Bobo asks.
"Yes, I am." I turn to face him.
"Kalli betrayed the sacred ground!" A the small one with a wide head announced.
"Kill him! Kill him!" They all chant. "Kalli" runs with his stubby legs, but the others catch up to him and beat him to death.
"Oh... my god." Acron throws up again.
"Let's go." I grab Acron and hop into the ship, "We gotta go, now."
Acron starts up the engines and we're off that awful planet.
"I'm gonna deep clean you when we get back onto the ship." Acron states.
"Please do. They hugged me." I shudder.
As soon as we got onto the ship, Acron pulled me to the side.
"What happened down there, didn't happen." Acron drops his voice to a whisper.
"But it did, that's the problem." I whisper back.
"No, you ———— it didn't!" My censors reacted quickly enough.
"Acron-" I start.
"No! ———— —— they are ——————— ugly! ———— you will not say a word to the ——— ———— crew!" Acron whisper yells.
"Y-Yes sir." I bow my head.
"Good." He huffs and walks down the hallway.
"Hey! What, uh happened down there?" Fox laughs, "Tim is crying in the bathroom."
"What do you mean? Tim was always apart of our crew." Acron states.
"Uh, what?" Keeva laughs.
"Did you hit your head Acron?" Illoha laughs, "Another tree?"
"Yeah, stop messing, what happened." Fox grins.
"You really want to know?" I laugh.
"No. No they don't." Acron walks into the main hub.
"No, we do!" Keeva laughs.
"Oh! Alright!" Acorn prepares himself, "We went down there and found creatures that were picking each other apart. They would kill anything that did it's business anywhere that wasn't "the sacred grounds"."
Everyone looks horror stricken.
"I think we're gonna go." Fox says slowly backing out of the room with Illoha.
"Yep! Me too!" Keeva runs out.
"Oh yeah!" I chase them down the hall, "They had bloody eyes and misshapen limbs! They each had a different sized head, torso, arms, and legs. They smelled of rotten flesh!"
"Bonnie! No! Stop!!!" Keeva groans, running behind Kip.
"He can't help you! You wanted to know what we say down there, Keeva!" I laugh.
"Not that they were disgusting, bloody, smelly people!" Keeva groans.
Kip just looks confused.
"You're lucky that I'm nice. I'll spare you more details." I smile.
"That's awful." Keeva gags.
"Yep. Acron threw up 3 times." I add before leaving.
"Bonnie!" Keeva gags again.
That place never existed.
Tim was always apart of our crew.
