Four Idiots Meet One Hybrid Narwhal
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMReIOZMQHR
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFKxaOtxmw
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*.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5flae0TuR
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb2IURXfrt
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ252ZVqRWx
In case you missed the hint: targeted xenophobia.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6swWBHTvvE
“Why are there Solflarian *half-breeds* in the Mercenary Guild station, huh?”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCC2yWAv5Q
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE6DGXSm19
“Bet he’s the spawn of some Solflare pleasure-slave,” another jeered.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhx6cwEnk
“Walking around like he’s some kind of chosen ancient,” a third sneered, laughter spilling into the air.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEZB1IHHjn
"Hahaha!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ouCzxOTi
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6le59H49B
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D3yAkAJnE
“Oh, lively newcomers, huh?” I said, forcing a grin. “Too bad guild registration isn’t today. Come back later with the credit transfer ready.”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUib8fZ3tzB
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo88hMbDRRO
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSyVcLAa9X
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSIQQ0QUZl
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfh6KLayHZ
“Self-responsibility. Do as you please,” her weary eyes seemed to say.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFOCimcUuh
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthfkCZZTDX
“Don’t get cocky, hybrid trash, just because you’re holding a cheap Half-Spec Blaster,” one of them growled.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC769gbW5u6
“I’ve spaced 56 Solflare dogs like you in the Twice Nebula!” another boasted.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKrbaViBvv
“Maybe I’ll carve those disgusting light-pulse markings right out of your head,” the leader sneered.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR01U45Oj7
Oh, 56 kills? Sure, buddy. If you were a fleet commander, you wouldn’t be wearing bargain-bin shield generators.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ObPxAzP5
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.”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBMT76ca8X
The leader grinned, his faceplate glinting. “Gladly.”
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJPm0UikT
And so, the airlock hissed open, and I stepped out onto the station's docking platform, but—
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBXb5DN3i
"Die!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxYFDuPhxP
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bWLsYLIi
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MoCLC7yIK
"Heh. Predictable."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBdshFj5RR
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ343rvKP27X
Dammit, busted lip. Great.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlSN3jtK8Y
"What the...?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pronTw5ay
"Guah... useless... no effect... is that all you’ve got!?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfknN7oru9d
Those words—his arrogance—stoked the fire in my chest.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckxe3M19TE
"Hah! Idiots. Go on, finish him!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcycuG2fsyS
"Yeah!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q34MKmzM4
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxddYaIG4G
Amateurs.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeaLYqMKcu
"You’ve done it now, small fry! Hrah!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sToI0P2lU
"Geh!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmR36wE3s3
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF5wvIW1dU
But the truth? Fancy moves had their limits.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkUb37lQHG
No time for theatrics. Let them hit, boost strength with special power: "the force", and strike back harder.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2UavY03i
"Take this!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ7OtddcCU
"What is this guy?! Strong—?!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN742AZsyn
"You think you can take on *me*, the Narwhal !?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVvFe1FuO2
"Ugh!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai4mLvMtXu
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcYLIzsnlZ
"S-Stop! I give! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KAmy3l2UY
"Shut it, worm! You *dared* to mock me—mock *my blastersw*! No mercy!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHeQmeNGke
"Giiiii!?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPj5ihH7wy
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYdeqvVSRM
"I-I didn’t do anything, I swear—"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh8MDt10rx
"56 kills in raids, huh? Lower that score if you’re gonna lie, idiot."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVoPzoSjBZ
"Uwaa!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOb8Ou9SBm
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfiKhV2heT
"H-Help me...!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SprjkpjEj
"Help you? Don’t even *think* surprise attacks will be forgiven. Scum."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXm4vcwmSl
The leader, finally stepping forward, sneered with false bravado. He raised his weapon, his hand trembling.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXgVPATmj7
"Eat thi—!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy4LpAPigi
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFR5PNZZec
"S-Sorry! Please! I won’t ever mess with you again!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ij3KsXdrm
"You mocked me, didn’t you? Made light of my weapon, my *Half-Spec Blaster*!?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3rxB6TQBM
"N-No! I didn’t mean—!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwppDG7OuTD
"Take this! *Half-Spec Blaster Kick!*"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN2nPIji4n
"Guohhh!"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5oxdQnDhf
My boot connected with his stomach, the force enough to lift him off the ground before he crumpled into a heap.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1jA63DEV0
Idiots. They ruined the road with their stupidity.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBT69Megeb
"Never mock me—or my Half-Spec Blaster—again."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTea9tI2JlP
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2APcyyCOQ
"Damn Narwhal," I heard someone mutter from the observation deck. "Took on four at once. Not bad."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnhDiqx5fV
"Oww... way oww... dirty surprise attack," I grumbled, limping past the onlookers.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOKZ3ti18
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."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y99AnkvYv
"Go ahead," I grunted, wiping the blood from my lip. "Now, can I use the treatment room?"
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27WIJ0t3y
"You’ll have to pay for it, of course," she replied, smirking.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zMpfWpvf1
"I’ll pay. Later. Just... let me lie down."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiMpy755te
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.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEdqSmw6hy
"Not going to rank up after this, Narwhal?" someone asked behind me.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogChJhnuQ2
"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."
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuIPbBB8WH
"Sheesh. Too bad. He’s strong, though," another voice muttered.
198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmc0BQlkYN
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.
