"While it's not precisely what you're wanting, I can fabricate some reports to my superiors saying that we must increase the prices of your kind's technology."The grey said. "It's not perfect, but it's a start."The grey said.

"Hmmm... yes, it is a start," Latch mentioned. "It has to be for more than we can afford to sell, so then we have a chance."

"That's what I intended. Should it serve until we've defeated Subject 5840?"The Grey asked.

Latch was just bluffing when he said he wanted to fight with Fenrir. After all, Fenrir destroyed his planet. But still... working with the Greys? He was still unsure.

"I don't know," Latch said. "How long do I have to think about it."

"Possibly not long. Subject 5840 may have incredible power, but super speed isn't one of them. Once his energy signature has been located, the ship your friends are using should be able to catch up to Subject 5840 rather quickly."The Grey said.

"Hmmm... I suppose I could do a little bit of helping," Latch responded.

"Good. Shall we head out and track down your friends now?"The grey asked.

"Maybe... but you better keep your promise," Latch said. "If I find out you lied to me, there will be hell to pay."

"I give you my word. Trust me, that's not something I give easily."The Grey said. A loud wail echoed through the forest. "Frothos!"The grey said, pulling out some kind weapon from his pocket. Another wail echoed, and eventually a few trees fell over as a Bull Frothos burst through the brush, clearly hurt. Half of its body was horribly burned, with exposed bone on its arms and half of its face. It wailed, continuing to try and escape something. "Get aboard my ship. the hatch should be open still."The Grey said.

"Right," Latch said as he followed the Grey. "I can't help but wonder what caused that creature so much pain. I thought we killed our Frothos."

"I don't know. Judging by the burns on the beast, I assume some sort of plasma weaponry or concentrated energy blasts."The Grey said. Soon, one of the Concentrated Energy Blasts the Grey mention hit the ground near the two, blasting them back. "One of those Rodents on this primitive world?"A voice growled. Soon Fenrir came out of the brush, followed by several Gangsters. "Personally I thought your people were wiped out."He snarled.

"Wait, huh? You mean we're not extinct?" Latch asked sarcastically. "Awww, I'm sorry to disappoint you wolfy. I guess the eye is quicker than the... ummm... coming up with witty phrases isn't a strong point of mine. ...Too bad a good chunk of our race survived your last attack, but with us scattered all over the galaxy, you could never finish the job."

"Is that a challenge, Rodent?"Fenrir asked. "I am fairly certain I can finish off your people. Knowing thatyour kind are still around, I very well might."Fenrir said.

"Well. ...What do I do now?" Latch whispered to the Grey. "I'm pretty sure neither of us can take him by ourselves."

"Distract him, I have an idea."The Grey whispered back. "In fact, why don't I start now with you?"Fenrir asked, as his hands began to glow orange.

"You want to finish what you started?" Latch asked. "Fine. Come on and fight me if you think you can easily wipe us out." For now, Latch started with an evasive stance. He didn't want to do anything stupid.

Fenrir shot his fists out, blasting two streams of energy at Latch.

Latch jumped onto a tree behind him. The blast hit the tree and caused it to fall down, but Latch jumped off and landed on the ground. "Aww, you get super megaton punches?" Latch asked. "All I got is this puny eye laser." Latch decided to fire the laser off at Fenrir. He was really only hoping to piss him off and throw off his strategy, but actually harming him would be a nice bonus to that.

Latch's laser eye certainly singed Fenrir's fur. Smoke could be seen coming from where the laser hit, and one could easily smell burned fur. Unfortunately, the laser didn't seem to actually hurt Fenrir. "Is that your only form of self defense?"The Alien wolf taunted. "It's weak. And Pathetic."Fenrir snarled. Fenrir held his hand out, and gravity around Latch seemed to increase as Latch was forced onto the ground. Fenrir held up his other hand as it began to glow orange. "Wait...."Fenrir said, as the glow stopped. "Where's the Grey?"He asked. As if on cue, the Grey's ship started up, lifting off the ground several feet. It turned, facing Fenrir, with two cylindrical holes being present on either side of the main view port. A pair of blue light balls were shot from the holes. "PHOTON MISSILES! GET DOWN!"One of the Gangster hsouted. The Missiles slammed into Fenrir and exploded, sending the alien flying backwards into the brush. The ship turned to face the Gangsters, who were still on the ground. The ship hovered in front of Latch, with the entry hatch opening. "Get on! The Photon Missiles more than likely only momentarily stunned Subject 5840!"The Grey called from inside his ship.

"ACK! Heavy gravity!" Latch said as he struggled to get on board. "You're going to have to take my hand. I don't know if I can get on board quick enough."
