The Lizard Men of the Rainforest Level

After a long rest where Braden slept peacefully cradled in Micah’s lap, the companions ate of their supplies and prepared to begin the second half of why they came to the ship. They wanted to know if more Lizard Men could join them in the Amazonian War.

Aadi and Pik Ha’ar would be critical during this time. Aadi floated near Pik and they talked extensively over the mindlink. Micah only partially listened as she faded in and out of sleep. G-War jumped into the conversation on occasion, to highlight one piece or another as they gave Pik the background on the Amazonian War. Micah expected that the ‘cat shared images of the good Amazonians like Zalastar and Akhmiyar and images of those they’d been attacked by as well as what they knew of the Overlords, from the information taken from the minds of their minions.

Pik used a knife that Micah had given him to whittle his walking stick into something sized for his hand and height. She let him keep the knife until he found a more suitable weapon. Even though Braden left his bow in the New Command Center, he carried two blasters and his short sword. Micah carried her blasters and her full-sized sword. The Wolfoids carried their lightning spears. They had a great deal of firepower, especially since the ship was supposed to be completely under Holly’s control.

Which wasn’t the case as she looked at the apple-sized bump on the side of Braden’s head. The first thing he did when he was able to stand on his own was go to the stream and dunk his head in the cool water. He held his head to the side and let the coolness ease the pain throbbing within the bump.

“Monkeys,” Micah said, shaking her head as Braden squeezed the water from his long braid. His eyes looked clear. To be sure, he dialed his blaster to the tiniest beam and tried to fire a few shots. “I think your brain is still spinning inside there.” The pinpoints from his shots covered an area larger than a man. Micah was impressed that he hit the broad tree trunk and would have been amazed had the shots been anywhere closer together.

“Don’t shoot unless it’s life or death,” she cautioned. “We don’t want you to hit one of us.” She smiled at him and they walked back to the clearing together where they found the others ready to go.

“Pik, my friend, are you ready?” Braden asked.

‘I am. We will find a patrol and with Aadi’s and the Golden Warrior’s help, convince them to join us in freeing the intelligent creatures of Vii,’ Pik stated with conviction.

Braden invited Pik to lead the group forward. Aadi swam close behind him while G-War bounded into the trees, keeping pace by jumping from branch to branch. The humans walked next and the Wolfoids brought up the rear. Braden walked without assistance, but stumbled often as his dizziness came and went. Micah tried to keep a hand on him just so he wouldn’t fall.
