Four Idiots Meet One Hybrid Narwhal
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHKK6rQu8z
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I7qC9cBch
As I might’ve mentioned before, I’m a hybrid—a rare product of two clashing worlds. The Lunatran Empire and the Holy Solar Commonwealth of Solflare. A spacer and a solar priest got a little too close one night aboard a neutral trading station, and out came *me*.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqoOUCmEHn
Lunatrans and Solflarians, while not as distinct as Old Earth’s ancient peoples, still have their genetic markers. Lunatrans sometimes carry void-black quantum-absorbing patterns in parts of their body, dark enough to swallow light itself. Solflarians, on the other hand, are often adorned with photonic hair, glowing with pulses of radiant energy. Not every one of them bears these features, but when they do, it’s unmistakable.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oJJx8e11t
Me? I got both. My bioluminescent hair pulses in waves of silver light, streaked through with Lunatran void-black. A loud, undeniable proclamation of my mixed heritage. And in a galaxy where the Lunatran Empire and Solflare Commonwealth have spent three centuries tearing each other apart, you can imagine how that goes over.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwX0FANRAa
In case you missed the hint: targeted xenophobia.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LkzTGXgXF
“Why are there Solflarian *half-breeds* in the Mercenary Guild station, huh?”
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYtU2WkekB
The voice rang out, cutting through the guild's common area like a plasma blade. A man’s voice, amplified through his neural comm—purposefully ensuring *everyone* could hear.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckRmTbvkwm
“Bet he’s the spawn of some Solflare pleasure-slave,” another jeered.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHrJEMUTzC
“Walking around like he’s some kind of chosen ancient,” a third sneered, laughter spilling into the air.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxIqHG6vkW
"Hahaha!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3HJceqmcy
I glanced up. Four of them, all clad in powered armor—not the flashy kind you see on amateurs, either. Their postures and movements marked them as ex-military, seasoned but arrogant. New faces at the station, and already making waves.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Fnpv4eRa
Normally, I’d brush off insults. I’ve lived with them my entire life. Half-breed, void-mutt, light-spawn—I’ve heard it all. My mixed heritage is no secret; it’s etched in my hair for all to see. Still, openly mocking someone here, *inside the guild station*, is reckless even for this frontier outpost. Which means one thing: these idiots came looking for trouble.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs47U4nicO
“Oh, lively newcomers, huh?” I said, forcing a grin. “Too bad guild registration isn’t today. Come back later with the credit transfer ready.”
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAYygw68LC
Some fights are worth buying. This was one of them. In any starport, grinning foolishly and letting insults roll by without challenge is a path to nowhere. Reputation, fragile as a starship’s thermal shielding, is everything in the void. Keeping a polished demeanor in public is vital, but bending to every arrogant fool risks tarnishing your name—something no mercenary can afford.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJWzYg4CA
I ran a quick diagnostic on my suit’s combat systems, making sure everything was operational. In our line of work, where muscle often speaks louder than words, there’s no shame in standing your ground when disrespected. A fight isn’t just about strength; it’s about showing you’re not prey.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjSSMFSINg
I’d been in a fine mood earlier, savoring the end of a long morning clearing asteroid drift from the station’s transit lanes and enjoying a hot cup of Geromaze oatmeal—a synthesized delicacy that actually manages to taste halfway decent. But they ruined it, these arrogant whelps.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSAE6ZRu3W
As I rose from my seat, I glanced toward the holo-counter. The receptionist, her holographic avatar flickering faintly in the dim station light, wore an expression that said she was more exasperated than concerned. She wasn’t about to intervene, though.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3dXccV0N5
“Self-responsibility. Do as you please,” her weary eyes seemed to say.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd35PoHVQu4
The station’s unwritten rules applied: no outright brawling in the guild’s heart unless absolutely necessary. I wouldn’t be the one to shatter that fragile peace—not here, not today. But if these fools wanted to take it somewhere else, I wouldn’t hesitate to teach them what happens when you challenge the Galaxy A Narwhal.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bvWhEooqV
“Don’t get cocky, hybrid trash, just because you’re holding a cheap Half-Spec Blaster,” one of them growled.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTVonBzLl
“I’ve spaced 56 Solflare dogs like you in the Twice Nebula!” another boasted.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SkzM6i4Hn
“Maybe I’ll carve those disgusting light-pulse markings right out of your head,” the leader sneered.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifzzbKT59d
Oh, 56 kills? Sure, buddy. If you were a fleet commander, you wouldn’t be wearing bargain-bin shield generators.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCpKrvhGL
Engaging my suit’s magnetic boots, I pushed myself upright. “You’re bothering folks here trying to eat. If you want to go, let’s take it to the cargo bay.”
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yd0Ggclza
The leader grinned, his faceplate glinting. “Gladly.”
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1nX03Vzn
And so, the airlock hissed open, and I stepped out onto the station's docking platform, but—
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOQ2Cuxb4P
"Die!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hDe4IWaIp
Before I could take another step into the neon-lit streets of the station, a shadowed figure erupted from the darkness. His movement was swift, his fist a comet streaking toward my face.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTm0JiVEXy
A cheap ambush in the void of stars? Pathetic. Not content with ganging up on me, they had to throw in a surprise assault too. Cowards, the lot of them. Still, I couldn’t help but smirk.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OjsyE5RvY
"Heh. Predictable."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FEhysKYo8
The punch connected like a meteor strike, the force reverberating through my reinforced boots and up my legs, the impact cushioned only slightly by my suit’s shock absorbers. Beneath my helmet, I tasted blood. My vision blurred for a moment as I staggered back, the sharp sting of pain cutting through me.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOm1Jj9QUM
Dammit, busted lip. Great.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu2IRAQ5d8
"What the...?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4ZcvW0Zu
"Guah... useless... no effect... is that all you’ve got!?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxeHg6vkmP
Those words—his arrogance—stoked the fire in my chest.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzN8GOb4Lg
"Hah! Idiots. Go on, finish him!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWw38I80Vb
"Yeah!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMpsnmrN6P
The others rallied around him, their movements like scavenger drones circling a damaged freighter. Four against one, their confidence practically oozed from their cocky grins. Their tactic? Overwhelm with numbers.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYIWrCZxNf
Amateurs.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIY1l68NaS
"You’ve done it now, small fry! Hrah!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQvs6FOeQx
"Geh!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqXNbZVuTd
My counterattack was swift. A precise blow to the gut sent the first one crumpling to his knees, the faint shimmer of his suit’s energy shielding flickering out like a dying star. The others weren’t deterred—they rushed me, trying to drown me in sheer brute force. But their clumsy strikes were easy to read, their movements predictable. I danced between them for a moment, my body moving like a ship dodging asteroid fragments.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0qOvVuY2
But the truth? Fancy moves had their limits.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD1b8rMcCD
No time for theatrics. Let them hit, boost strength with special power: "the force", and strike back harder.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zLcbSpwSP
"Take this!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RS72777sA
"What is this guy?! Strong—?!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3iOzqUF9
"You think you can take on *me*, the Narwhal !?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNryv21Pvi
"Ugh!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcb3Fh3HBJ
The blows landed, hammering my body, but it didn’t matter. I allowed them to connect, channeling my energy into the enhancers built into my battle suit. Pain surged through me, but the payoff was worth it—a single retaliatory strike sent one of them sprawling to the ground, groaning in agony.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu9zSveK80
"S-Stop! I give! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Oql2FzYw
"Shut it, worm! You *dared* to mock me—mock *my blastersw*! No mercy!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ohAPTB4he
"Giiiii!?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswuOVls1e
I grabbed the front of his hair as he begged, yanking his head downward and slamming it into mine. The headbutt reverberated through his helmet, and he dropped like a malfunctioning droid.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoB3pLj7eO
"I-I didn’t do anything, I swear—"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmcJOtjrt
"56 kills in raids, huh? Lower that score if you’re gonna lie, idiot."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSdpkIBGG
"Uwaa!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhVCWaAAz
My open palm cracked across his face, sending him crashing to the ground. His helmet shattered under the force, the sound of brittle glass meeting steel filling the air—a melody to my ears.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4q3OCRBaJ
"H-Help me...!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfyt9lSzwD
"Help you? Don’t even *think* surprise attacks will be forgiven. Scum."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Ry0qklqi
The leader, finally stepping forward, sneered with false bravado. He raised his weapon, his hand trembling.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk39LWQT6Dw
"Eat thi—!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4reOXn8HF
I moved faster than he could react. Grabbing his wrist, I twisted until I heard the satisfying snap of bones breaking. He howled, dropping his weapon as pain overtook him.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTzYPDwBhS
"S-Sorry! Please! I won’t ever mess with you again!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoEMCw4zMz
"You mocked me, didn’t you? Made light of my weapon, my *Half-Spec Blaster*!?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cPTuWRmYp
"N-No! I didn’t mean—!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58qsnP0vCM
"Take this! *Half-Spec Blaster Kick!*"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqXz1qzSHI
"Guohhh!"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOT00rggBn
My boot connected with his stomach, the force enough to lift him off the ground before he crumpled into a heap.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisdiWMVWv7
Idiots. They ruined the road with their stupidity.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0X8cVZFY8
"Never mock me—or my Half-Spec Blaster—again."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHc8gqMx4B
I spat on the fallen fools. My body ached from the skirmish, but I straightened up and made my way back toward the guildhall, ignoring the crowd that had gathered to watch.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2EXnvdlvp
"Damn Narwhal," I heard someone mutter from the observation deck. "Took on four at once. Not bad."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjh2Q1Kd5M
"Oww... way oww... dirty surprise attack," I grumbled, limping past the onlookers.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCeyv3Cxd1
Mirai, the guild clerk, waited for me at the counter with an amused expression. "Good work, Mister Narwhal. Those four had a record of poor mission evaluations and misconduct. We’ll adjust their standings further after this little incident."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbeQhXAaXr
"Go ahead," I grunted, wiping the blood from my lip. "Now, can I use the treatment room?"
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZmz2vIXwk
"You’ll have to pay for it, of course," she replied, smirking.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB755ekzJC
"I’ll pay. Later. Just... let me lie down."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8QUUJFzQ4
As I shuffled toward the medical bay, the ache in my body reminded me that brute force wasn’t always the answer. Next time, I’d fight smarter—make it look effortless, leave an impression without taking so many hits.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrls6M9Iq
"Not going to rank up after this, Narwhal?" someone asked behind me.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DCw0k7huR
"Doesn’t seem likely," Mirai answered for me. "He avoids the risky deep-space contracts that come with promotions and the increased attention from Core Worlders."
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtYxaZ2oyV
"Sheesh. Too bad. He’s strong, though," another voice muttered.
620Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfO9tWkMsU
I sighed, wincing as I pressed a cold pack to my swollen lip. Strong, huh? Maybe. But strength wasn’t worth it if this was the aftermath.
