Day One: Early Morning

[Burter]

Face to Face

Retane, Tapion

Android 15

The trek had begun at midnight, but it had lasted for hours now. Tapion led the duo in the dark, remaining determined to reach shelter before they stopped to rest out in the open. Retane, behind him, kept an open and perhaps paranoid eye out with his weapon.

That when Tap's elf ear twitched and he stopped walking. Retane bumped into him. "Oof!" He grunted, "What the deal?" The namek asked impatiently.

Tapion looked to the left, towards the row of bushes they'd been next to for awhile. "Someone's there. Following us. Has been for an hour or so." The Konat squinted a bit to try and see through the bushes, but no luck.

"Oh, really?" Retane asked. He smiled a bit, almost a smirk, and then stepped forward into the bushes. "Come on out," he beckoned. "We won't hurt you."

Very cautiously, the figure in the bushes pressed a button on the device in his arm, and then stepped out, swallowing hard. Tapion kept a grip in his bag, just in case. Retane kept the smirk going.

"How's it going?" He asked kindly, "I'm Retane. This is Tapion."

"Fifteen," The purple man responded. "Sorry I was, uh..."

"It's alright," Retane smiled nicely. "We don't mind, right Tap?" Retane turned to see Tap, who just nodded without speaking. "I've played this before, it's better to team up then go alone. Stick with us."

There wasn't a whole lot of choice for the machine hybrid. He could have said no, sure, but what good would that do? He could never outrun these guys. So he stepped forward. "Okay, sure, I guess."

Retane then held up the gun behind him. Tapion kept a straight face so as to not give anything away.

Fifteen then heard the namekian speak behind him. The fake-nice voice was gone, and it was back to Retane's evil, dark whisper of a voice. "Naive little newbie," he growled.

That was when the trigger was pulled. A large, sharp nail stuck into the back of the robotic head and out the other side, through his forehead. Fifteen's eyes went blank in front of Tapion, who grimaced.

The purple body hit the ground on it's knees, then it's chest. Retane didn't stop smirking. First blood was his, and he knew it. It felt fucking fantastic.

But it came at the price of a hopeful, scared android who just wanted to have fun.
