Four Idiots Meet One Hybrid Narwhal
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Bk3DdXYz
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx8GiumwYK
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*.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT7Lr3lFg4
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvO73KW149
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosHhbml0Ev
In case you missed the hint: targeted xenophobia.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uN8c3YSpP
“Why are there Solflarian *half-breeds* in the Mercenary Guild station, huh?”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznS3wk0vrg
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP2uT2ZUn7
“Bet he’s the spawn of some Solflare pleasure-slave,” another jeered.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aD9bEtBOD
“Walking around like he’s some kind of chosen ancient,” a third sneered, laughter spilling into the air.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGtG0L8LFd
"Hahaha!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQotc4rPEY
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jIruiDA2o
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTom3yXtnZJ
“Oh, lively newcomers, huh?” I said, forcing a grin. “Too bad guild registration isn’t today. Come back later with the credit transfer ready.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3nidpb7qF
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4jFM26IN
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84eZ77GALl
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC9KMQJlfc
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeleBe3LDlx
“Self-responsibility. Do as you please,” her weary eyes seemed to say.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV9xpLNCrn
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjAUlY1aTT
“Don’t get cocky, hybrid trash, just because you’re holding a cheap Half-Spec Blaster,” one of them growled.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1XqYddnsR
“I’ve spaced 56 Solflare dogs like you in the Twice Nebula!” another boasted.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx2XXzmNzp
“Maybe I’ll carve those disgusting light-pulse markings right out of your head,” the leader sneered.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbANOp4uzd
Oh, 56 kills? Sure, buddy. If you were a fleet commander, you wouldn’t be wearing bargain-bin shield generators.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhwt96ADeu
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.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUq0fvD5wN
The leader grinned, his faceplate glinting. “Gladly.”
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJUtNBrutL
And so, the airlock hissed open, and I stepped out onto the station's docking platform, but—
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf3kwsdR01
"Die!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7TswxYeCo
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6vP3i2ITY
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiU1SVNl29
"Heh. Predictable."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll0EEm2XfH
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTOE8mSpN
Dammit, busted lip. Great.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPScHLH5VTG
"What the...?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19gNZZBrCj
"Guah... useless... no effect... is that all you’ve got!?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fU2ILjIzY
Those words—his arrogance—stoked the fire in my chest.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNWBDjmZNJ
"Hah! Idiots. Go on, finish him!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXevmYT9iZh
"Yeah!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XyhyckiLY
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQALqnPXvH
Amateurs.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hvVRTXAm2
"You’ve done it now, small fry! Hrah!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Znky7ix2U
"Geh!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPcv7z7bCr
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9bcwNdt42
But the truth? Fancy moves had their limits.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ401U4YZg1q
No time for theatrics. Let them hit, boost strength with special power: "the force", and strike back harder.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs6kLtYiSr
"Take this!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP9YpmTc3k
"What is this guy?! Strong—?!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9bELg1bxC
"You think you can take on *me*, the Narwhal !?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYprFtyMt1
"Ugh!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk33gDd5Lz
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMA2NvokE1
"S-Stop! I give! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5dP4KbnEr
"Shut it, worm! You *dared* to mock me—mock *my blastersw*! No mercy!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixFgfU46gW
"Giiiii!?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2kpAdmF2a
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcq9PYKJXa
"I-I didn’t do anything, I swear—"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vhLWPAa8
"56 kills in raids, huh? Lower that score if you’re gonna lie, idiot."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG1Q6B2FUl
"Uwaa!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWjfRHoWYb
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zAOsiIqN
"H-Help me...!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm1MZ6BvKm
"Help you? Don’t even *think* surprise attacks will be forgiven. Scum."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZkpjS1pZp
The leader, finally stepping forward, sneered with false bravado. He raised his weapon, his hand trembling.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEqgCD3a31
"Eat thi—!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr91wPxazzM
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgBdbNiGlb
"S-Sorry! Please! I won’t ever mess with you again!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xatkT7WKt
"You mocked me, didn’t you? Made light of my weapon, my *Half-Spec Blaster*!?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XixWYgIc6
"N-No! I didn’t mean—!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZC6nD63ie
"Take this! *Half-Spec Blaster Kick!*"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpXN0QPlD0
"Guohhh!"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJnZYN4BJ
My boot connected with his stomach, the force enough to lift him off the ground before he crumpled into a heap.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJHELnH6c8
Idiots. They ruined the road with their stupidity.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBqb8cBGC
"Never mock me—or my Half-Spec Blaster—again."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzsjOg1yv
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1JeGPrgr1
"Damn Narwhal," I heard someone mutter from the observation deck. "Took on four at once. Not bad."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3A6s7HkDn
"Oww... way oww... dirty surprise attack," I grumbled, limping past the onlookers.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBTYXR3Ix3
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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4OA3rMVXp
"Go ahead," I grunted, wiping the blood from my lip. "Now, can I use the treatment room?"
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB5F3OrQsa
"You’ll have to pay for it, of course," she replied, smirking.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvojRdqIwms
"I’ll pay. Later. Just... let me lie down."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhiahDwZ1S
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.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos55LuZzSj
"Not going to rank up after this, Narwhal?" someone asked behind me.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjvMousQmE
"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."
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxawfolsPs
"Sheesh. Too bad. He’s strong, though," another voice muttered.
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCJaDHo5N
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.
