Nixon and Kamari plop onto cold concrete and they land with thud. "Ouch!" Nixon groans. Kamari stands up and dusts herself off.
"A hand here?" Nixon asks as he's reaching his hand out.
She grabs his hand and pulls him up. Immediately afterwards she brushes her hands off on her pants.
"I'm not dirty," Nixon says
He was met with a side-eye.
Their short conversation was cut off with the sound of items breaking and yelling.
They shared an exchange and ran to the noise.
.
.
They arrived at an old abandoned house, and entered the building.
Three bodies were right by the door and more were scattered around the room. In the middle of the room were three people fighting one person. The person noticed both Nixon and Kamari.
"Maldito seja! Just what I need, more people to fight."
Nixon was speechless and was making sure the people on the floor were alive.
Kamari was calm, until one of the three people decided to pick a fight with her.
Kamari and this stranger ended up back to back in two heated battles. The stranger with their dagger ready to charge and Kamari with both fist squared and ready. As their enemies lunge at them the stranger goes low and under Kamari as she flips over the top of him, both knocking each other's enemy to the floor and unconscious.
.
.
After a while of fighting each other Kamari and the stranger were in their fighting stances about to fight each other once again.
Nixon ran in between them.
"Woah! Everyone chill the f out."
"Never! Who are you people!" The stranger asked forcefully
"Who are you!" Asked Kamari
"I'm Nixon! This is Kamari, We come in peace, we mean no harm to you."
"Eu não sou um idiota alienígena!" The stranger says in a different language
"Huh!? ¡No habla español!" Nixon says
"You're not an alien?" Kamari asks
"Que? Você sabe portugues?"
"Sim," Kamari responds
"Huh? Não um idiota pela primeira vez, quem é você?"
"Kamari, this Nixon dude sucked him and I into a portal and now we are here."
"Huh, weird, alright strangers I will bless you both by sparing you too."
Nixon sighed a breath of relief, and the stranger and Kamari stopped and came to an ease with their stances.
"So stranger what's your name?" Nixon asks
"Uh three?" the stranger responds
"What.." Nixon stares at them.
Nixon bursted out laughing, putting his hand on Kamari for balance. Kamari is stone-cold and trying to get his hand off her. Nixon wipes the tears from his eyes and Kamari pushes his hand off of her.
"Gross," she whispers underneath her breath.
"Are you serious? Three?" Nixon asks, laughing halfway through the question.
"Yes, is that a problem?" the stranger says
"Well no but that's your actual name? Like, your parents named you three?"
The stranger went quiet and turned away from them both.
"You two need to leave," they said quietly but sternly.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Leave."
"I'm sorry if I said something wr-"
"Get. Out. Now!" They said louder
Kamari and Nixon both leave the house.
Kamari says, "Stay here human, I'll talk to them."
Kamari re-enters the house.
.
.
Kamari and Three exit the house and on the stairs waiting for them was Nixon. Nixon turned around and got up.
"Hey, I'm so sorry if I hurt you or offended you," Nixon said.
"It's fine, I understand you didn't mean it in a rude way."
"What's the plan now," Nixon asks?
There was a pause and then Three answers,
"I can give you guys a tour of my world."
"Ooh! Fun, let's do that," Nixon says excitedly.
"But I do have to warn you it's not like your New York, it's more dangerous."
"New York is already dangerous," Nixon says.
"Yeah, but times 100 here."
"Oh, oh no." Nixon says
