The Khan, to Zephri, Maisy and Azie A voice snapped out, cold and clear. The aliens pinning the three humans stepped back and made way for an approaching figure. Atop a large, dripping, horse-snake mount, was an alien unlike the others. Dressed in silvery armor and mask, holding a gun in one hand, the reins in the other, and the two other hands resting at the sides. One of the soldiers chattered softly, raising its weapon a little more. However, a swat over the head caused it to look down. "You must've been truly dim," the alien atop the mount spoke, in human language "If you thought you'd get away. We're low on slaves, so it was inevitable." Tugging the reins with a hand, it spoke in its native language again. The group on foot lowered their weapons, and advanced to merely attempt to secure them. The "leader" of the current situation added "You should smile, humans. Going through a Transformation will do you good. Make you better." A "Transformation" was basically just being exposed to horrible radiation.

IC Kori and Neo to Harley and Tarrotino
Kori let out a desperate sigh of regret, oh she regretted doing a lot of things but she had a feeling she would end up regretting this more, she truly hated helping people, it never turned out in her favor, hence why Neo was still tagging along. "Hey Neo, do you see those two shapes over there?" She asked and pointed in the direction of Harley and Tarrotino, and the small boy nodded vigorously. "Good, stay here and watch my back, I'm going to go see if they need help," Kori explained and quickly started towards them, hiding herself from the aliens that infested the area.

The Jinx triplets to The Khan
"Like h--- I'm gonna surrender to you freaks," Maisy shouted and grabbed a small, ball like smoke bomb out of her bag, she had stocked up on them before...honestly at this point it was just better not to question where she got them. She got it ready and threw it at the aliens, grabbing the wrists of her brothers. "Let's go! Go!" She yelled and started running along the lines of the ditch with them.
Zephri glared at her. "What ever happened to 'let's stay and fight?' Not that I'm complaining, you're finally listening to reason," he snapped at her and Maisy rolled her eyes as Azie picked up the speed to lead his siblings.
"Now is not the time!"

Harley had stopped sobbing and Tarrotino was carrying his shotgun just in case since Harley yelped loudly for her friend's death. The male's brown hair was hit by the breeze as he watched his sister sitting down letting the wind as well hit her blonde hair. Tarritno then heard some talking coming closer to the two. "Harley get behind me!", Tarritono demanded to Harley as Harley quickly ran behind him. Tarritno held his gun and stayed quiet as the talking became louder.

IC Kori stayed to her hiding spot behind them, watch closely, there were two...both human, a boy and a girl. Did they even need help? Kori wasn't sure but she didn't want to leap to their rescue when they didn't need rescuing. So she hung back and pulled her hood further over her head to shield her masked face as she observed.

The Khan, to the Jinx Triplets "Running just prolongs the h--- your kind lives in," The Khan spoke in their language again, the group moving out of the smoke "I remember when this dung heap used to look somewhat... presentable." Motioning for the henchmen to peruse, they slung their weapons over their shoulders. Then, they literally began running on all fours, or whatever number of appendages. Sniffing around, they searched the area as The Khan continued "Tell me, do you truly prefer a life with no real order? I merely give you a chance to live better than how you are now. Our Queen is always looking for new subjects." Sliding off the mount, the alien patted the warbling creature's neck once before walking away. Underneath the mask worn, nostrils twitched. The smell of the triplets was present. "Just come out, humans. It'll be much worse, the longer you continue to hide. Her Greatness hates cowards. And I heard you were supposed to be a brave species!" Motioning for the mount to follow, the aliens began real pursuit. The Khan switched to all fours as well, beginning to trot. Then run. Soft thumps sounded with every hand or foot that hit the ground. The armor decorating The Khan glinted with every fast movement. Today was not open to failure. More slaves were needed, and this was an easy hunt. The Jinx Triplets better have more than smoke bombs up their sleeves.

IC Azie pulled his siblings back into a building and quickly barricaded the door with whatever was available, he then turned to Zephri and Maisy. "What's the plan?" He asked, looking from one to another. Honestly this was a very bad situation for them, especially since well..they had been caught and that was pretty dang pathetic on their part.
Zephri spoke first. "We split up, get away, and once you're sure that you've lost them, we meet back up at our base, okay?" He asked, hands out in front of him as he waited for an answer from his siblings.
Maisy scoffed. "Yeah cause that's a good plan," she said sarcastically and opened up the bag that was draped over her shoulder and resting beside her hip. "I have some weapons I made from spare parts that we've collected, we use those, take out these creepos from outer space, ransack them for spare parts and leave, together," she suggested.
Azie looked at the two and let out a slight sigh, these two were constantly contradicting each other...and right then some of the aliens tried to force their way inside. "Guys we don't have time to argue, if we're gonna do something, now would be a good time," he told them, voice hitched in panic.

Got such a perfect OC for this dang it's like u read my mind??? I'll try to post something soon if that's chill with you
edit: is it okay if my character is the head of a small group of human rebels? Because that's pretty much her original backstory. She also is a very strict, "I don't care if you die if it helps the cause" kind of leader so it could lend to some conflict later, maybe?

Lucky for the Jinx triplets, an explosion sounded from the other side of the barricade. Those three had just offered Aquarius and her squad a perfect opportunity to take out this patrol. Lurking low in the still-lingering smoke, Aquarius quickly moved over the ruined body of one of Khan's flanks. Her weapon, a bow of all things, was gripped tightly in gloved hands. The sound of wires pulling taught rang in the young woman's ears, another of Khan's troops torn from their position and dragged across the ground before another explosion sounded out. Yes, yes, everything was going according to plan. With her squad taking care of things, for the most part, Aquarius headed towards the sound of that cocky voice. She couldn't wait to see her reaction, the smug son of a b-. The two were, in some ways, nemeses of each other. Khan- or The Khan, as she was referred to by her own -was often out hunting for new "slaves," and Aquarius herself helped to lead the largest, organized human rebel group around. So they were, to say the least, acquainted with another. "Hey," she called, straightening up as she spotted the figured through the smoke. "HEY KHAN."

IC "...what the h---?" Maisy questioned as the explosion before she started to move the barricade away. "That sounded awesome, come on guys, let's see what's going on," she told her brothers as she finished moving the stuff out of the way and pushed the door open to peer outside, both brothers quickly following and shoving up against her to look out the door and see what all the commotion was.
Zephri frowned slightly. "We should sneak out now, while everyone's distracted..." he suggested quietly and Maisy shushed him in favor of watching.

( BB-8 (Actually, The Khan is a female, I was going to reveal x3 Even though her name means "The King") The Khan to the Jinx Triplets and Aquarius"Running will never get you anywhere," The Khan spoke, shoving aside one of the soldiers to get at the door. One foot rose up, and kicked at the door. One. Two. Three. The barricade created began to fall apart. The Khan headbutted the door, head smashing through. Hands reached in, pulling it apart so the alien could step through. Signaling for the soldiers to fan out, they quietly moved in. "I'm not in the mood to talk," The Khan continued "Soon it will resort to a full on hunt, which will snatch up your freedom quicker than you can blink." Pulling out the spear from earlier, head turning. Tentacle-like dreads fell from the back of The Khan's mask, creating a sort of lion mane look, and some of it tied into a ponytail in the back. The "hair" shifted with each turn of the large head. Honestly, The Khan's head alone was large enough to bite off all three of the Triplets' heads put together. As the alien moved about the building, speech continued "Why so afraid, humans? We're no different than you. Seeking new land to steal and call our own." "You're probably thinking of a way out, or thinking about fighting. Either way will end in your capture. So, just give up. Struggling is much harder than not." The Khan's metal boots clunked softly with each step along the hard floor, armor and jewelry clinking gently as well. A series of clicking noises left the mask, the soldiers responding orderly. Some fanned out to try and surround the area inside, while a few remained to catch the targets if they were flushed out. However, the plan was foiled. The Khan turned, not caring that the flank was damaged. Looking at the wretched rebel leader, the alien's head tilted. Blinking behind the dark shadows of the mask, the alien hunter spoke "It's "The" Khan, Aquarius." Turning away, the hunter watched the remaining soldiers flee the area to continue looking for the triplets, saying as they did "I don't have much time, so perhaps you can make your petty bothering quick this time."

Aquarius was forever infuriated in the presence of aliens, but this one in particular- oh she longed for the day she got to personally rip its head from its body. Because The Khan, in her mind, was nothing more than an "it" to be banished from the face of this planet. Her planet. The fact they had the nerve to speak to her like she was lesser... The young woman didn't let her frustration show as she walked up to stand face to face with it. "Petty bothering. That's funny, I'd think you'd know better than that by now. You know that my people are more than capable of taking out this entire troop you've got with you." She was referring to the rebels' tendency to make small numbers count. In the early days, they had gotten cocky, and slaughtered for that confidence. Since? They were taught to be merciless and to never stop fighting. It made them a difficult, formidable, and admittedly annoying, enemy. A frustration. But if it got the planet back, Aquarius was perfectly okay with the lack of nobility in their tactics. "They're in the process of doing so. Are you sure it's worth it to lose all your... friends, for just three kids?"

The Khan to Aquarius"They are not my friends," she spoke simply, looking down at the smaller human "They are merely weapon fodder. You seriously believe I'd bring such a small group to where I knew you'd be?" No, The Khan's real troop that day was far from their location, rounding up and capturing far more humans as she and the rebel spoke. Chuckling softly, sounding slightly metallic from behind her mask, she said "Not in the slightest. There is no glory brought to me for bringing in only three." "These three humans are just backwash, and a distraction, more or less," the hunter said simply, purposefully, and roughly "nudging" Aquarius aside to look around some more. Stepping on a corpse of a fallen alien as she walked to look around, the female continued "That's the good thing about it all. You may all be boar-headed, somewhat formidable foes, but your numbers are dwarfed, unable to be everywhere all the time where you're needed." Pausing to look toward Aquarius again, she leaned on her spear. After another heartbeat of silence, The Khan continued "A reiteration, coming here for the one important being was for nothing, if you are looking for some kind of victory." A second time did she turn away, to leave. As The Khan peered behind a shelf, she asked "How many this time? Or did you not think you needed to bring much?" The Khan would never willingly participate in such a small hunt for only three whelps. The hunter was famed for bringing in thousands when they first arrived!

IC Maisy watched with interest, finding the whole ordeal to be very fascinating, however Zephri was far less amused, this was the perfect one for them to escape and get to safety, yet Maisy insisted on watching of all things. He frowned and nudged Azie lightly. "Let's go," he murmured quietly enough for only his siblings to hear. "They're distracted..." he explained.
However his sister shook her head. "Look at all that loot on them, we should wait this out and raid it all later, I'm already running out of supplies," she argued in the same quiet whisper. "Just...give it ten more minutes and if it still looks like a problem, we'll leave. Deal?" She asked, at least sensible enough that this very well could still be dangerous and they did have to tread carefully.
Azie looked over at Zephri as he waited for his brother to decide what to do, and finally, the taller one caved and agreed, with that the three teens put their focus back in watching, Zephri anxious as ever, Maisy eager to see the action, and Azie just there for the ride.

Aquarius' gaze was cold and never left Khan's movements. She did, however, look strangely at ease. She was confident that the alien would not try to attack her. Somewhere inside, she was sure Khan enjoyed these meetings, if only to gloat. It was precisely that which drove the rebel leader so crazy. Khan was right. As much as Aquarius hated to admit it, she was right, and it was something she had to sleep being aware of, every day. "You're correct, Khan. Our numbers, there's no way we could take on your whole slaving crew. But you've strayed from your camp and you don't have enough companions here-" She jabbed a finger towards the ground to make her point clear. She was specifically speaking about this immediate area, with the three humans and Khan's very small (comparitively) envoy. "-to beat my people. And since these three don't matter to you, and I know you're all about that precious self-preservation... how about you let us take these three. Let us leave. And we don't slaughter every single one of you. Because I will admit that we are weak, and few. But will you?" She lifted her head a bit in a subtle gesture of superiority. "The humans weren't the only ones who took massive casualties that day."

-
Zephri raised his brow, he didn't exactly trust other humans either...sometimes things like this brought out the worst in people too, and he had seen enough to know that. "Okay, now lets go," he said, placing a protective arm in front of his siblings as he started to back away and Maisy pushed his arm away, shaking her head.
"It hasn't even been ten minutes, just...give it some time," she suggested hopefully before she turned her attention back to what was going on just outside, her gaze flicking back towards the aliens and all their weapons and armor...she could do so much with those, she really could.

The Khan to Aquarius
"You don't understand much, do you?" She questioned almost lazily "Numbers don't win a battle. If I were any less lazy, you and your folk would be long dead. I enjoy the entertainment though. I've always been found of watching monkeys dance." The Khan was not the same backwoods breed of alien the fodder were. She was much more dangerous, but never needed to display such power. No worthy foe!
"Every brick is important to build a house," The Khan told Aquarius when the request came to free the triplets "And, I just may favor these three bricks, if only to knock some sense into your already fragile skull. You can't win everything. Humans just don't have the capacity to do so." The Khan, who had Aquarius beat by over two feet, looked straight down when the leader lifted her head. Bending a little, until her masked face was close, she continued "Your kind think killing anything is a major casualty at this point. One can't see how many ants there are until they upset the hill. Your views are very different from my kind's."
"My folk by default are stronger than your own. Put one of mine and one of yours in an arena. No armor, no weapons. Who is going to win? Humans can't even defend themselves without help. It truly is pathetic."
As The Khan and Aquarius talked, something crept up behind the Jinx Triplets. A large, serpentine snout eased in by Maisy, spittle dripping from its jaws. How The Khan's mount even got inside so quietly was to remain a little secret of the creature's. It grumbled, then warbled, crouched low. Then, it grabbed on her, a paw-like hand reaching from the tangle of hooven legs, tugging softly. Then yanking.

Maisy's eyes widened and she let out a yelp of surprise as she was dragged down and her brothers instantly called out for her, Azie reaching for the gun placed neatly in his holster and grabbed it, pointing it at the...thing with a shaky hand. "Let her go," he warned and Zephri swore slightly, this overall was just not that great of a situation right now and he seriously hated the aliens...and slightly Maisy right now.

Aquarius wasn't frightened. Even with this thing so close, she remained confident that she wouldn't be attacked. She was infamous amongst the aliens for being particularly deadly, and even The Khan- who could have easily killed her at any second -kept her around. Maybe she thought the humans needed some organization, a leader, to be fun. She scoffed at the creature's words. "Oh, my dear, sweet, sweet Kahn. Maybe you should hold a meeting, counsel me in my foolish ways." Her laugh was injected with as much sarcasm as she manage. Which, considering her normally apathetic tone, was a feat. "But today, I want those kids. And I am going to have them. And we can do this simply or I could-" Her not-so-intimidating speech was cut short when she heard Maisy's scream. She reacted almost instantly, lazy posture tensing as she ducked into the building. In one swift move she knocked an arrow and let loose, another embedding itself in a part of the building above and still stable. These weren't any ordinary bows or arrows. No, of course not. Aquarius and her people were dangerous because of these things. They were fighting fire with fire; using the aliens' technology against them. Of course, their resident techie had changed some things to suit their purposes. A cable connected the two pieces began to reel in, easily strong enough to drag an alien's mount, such as this. Aquarius was a very one track mind sort of girl. It made her volatile and dangerous. Get in her way, be you human or alien, and she would make sure you were never an issue again. Maybe that was something about her that The Kahn even liked.

Onasha is not so easily removed," The Khan called out, already moving to leave "But good luck trying." And then she was gone, the rest of her folk leaving. The Khan no longer wished to participate in such lowly game.
The mount screeched and hissed when the arrow bit flesh. It was dragged a good deal, but took Maisy with it. However, its numerous limbs shot out and gripped the floor, claws sinking like fangs to meat. Then, "Onasha" pulled back slowly, pulling against the cables. It was a game of tug-of-war, pulling and dragging, pulling and dragging. All the time, it kept a grip on Maisy, almost tightly enough to break something. Good thing the cable had ability to support large weights, or else it would've broken. When Onasha was simply too annoyed, the mount turned and bit off the leg the arrow had sunken into. Freed, it merely plucked Maisy up, turned and began running off. It even have its back to a wall to knock a hole. Was Onasha open to be shot some more? Of course. That didn't mean squat to it though, obviously. Even though pain wasn't foreign to its flush. Turning back around, it started a trot, then a run, beginning to head the direction of its owner. And it actually seemed to cackle as it carried Maisy off, arms moving and grabbing to shift the girl onto its large back, hands keeping her in place.

Aquarius groaned. Why couldn't anything be simple? She took off sprinting after the creature, yapping some incomprehensible orders into whatever hidden radio she wore. Lifting the bow again, once she was near enough, she decided she needed a different strategy. The first arrow, a relic of advanced, experimental, human technology (that Aquarius nor any of her friends were totally responsible for stealing before the war), was a form of condensed energy intended to sear through the creature's hands that held Maisy in place. The second arrow, through Maisy's leg, and the third, some unspecific point in the ground behind Aquarius. The cable pulled taut, reacting to the increased distance by reeling in the girl quicker than it had the monster- which also probably in part due to the easier weight. Now, the rebel leader doubted that was a pleasant experience for Maisy, or that her friends back there would be happy about this, but sometimes sacrifice was necessary. In this case, Maisy's comfort and undamaged safety. As much as Aquarius would have loved to kill that mount, she was also aware that that was not an option at the moment. She would have to let it go. The girl let out a heavy sigh, relaxing a bit when the roar of engine in the distance began to grow louder, a mismatched mess of what might have once been a hummer tearing to a stop in front of her. "What the hell took so long?"
