Four Idiots Meet One Hybrid Narwhal

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthMN9W5okk

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC1alqfCx5
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*.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tYkVAQJYG

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoxNIEoAUl

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlrwlZrczJ

In case you missed the hint: targeted xenophobia.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2bSYea4Ds

“Why are there Solflarian *half-breeds* in the Mercenary Guild station, huh?”

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgf4owCDOo

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bglbR60CQ

“Bet he’s the spawn of some Solflare pleasure-slave,” another jeered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1EEv9KT8

“Walking around like he’s some kind of chosen ancient,” a third sneered, laughter spilling into the air.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKOuA4mQJ

"Hahaha!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLKbqLrGWK

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK4YALRgze

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieWmpEAQxx

“Oh, lively newcomers, huh?” I said, forcing a grin. “Too bad guild registration isn’t today. Come back later with the credit transfer ready.”

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjfyKWxBq

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ZsepPVja

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQvPZekhJf

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlLLQaxZg

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz9smSoiOb

“Self-responsibility. Do as you please,” her weary eyes seemed to say.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Np7ebdnRC

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7NuD75W6d

“Don’t get cocky, hybrid trash, just because you’re holding a cheap Half-Spec Blaster,” one of them growled.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKIqmVOfCE

“I’ve spaced 56 Solflare dogs like you in the Twice Nebula!” another boasted.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZPllqFCk

“Maybe I’ll carve those disgusting light-pulse markings right out of your head,” the leader sneered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAR9y0dyft

Oh, 56 kills? Sure, buddy. If you were a fleet commander, you wouldn’t be wearing bargain-bin shield generators.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOFUqxm7a1

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.”

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp9sjXmRJN

The leader grinned, his faceplate glinting. “Gladly.”

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zhHbpdG47

And so, the airlock hissed open, and I stepped out onto the station's docking platform, but—

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodf0jvtUKU

"Die!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtOVvdEY3w

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKqQRaPPKU

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1po9cUgKRD

"Heh. Predictable."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbMKStF2ao

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOFsf2ghpb

Dammit, busted lip. Great.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLX8IWiWzs

"What the...?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa2XHerTEp

"Guah... useless... no effect... is that all you’ve got!?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwla62kYzPX

Those words—his arrogance—stoked the fire in my chest.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefMGMHpPBu

"Hah! Idiots. Go on, finish him!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLetavjs6

"Yeah!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHsytZ17l

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2srcxuV3P

Amateurs.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlF918qQDa

"You’ve done it now, small fry! Hrah!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VuiBJmR1H

"Geh!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAyxXxcUo

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxrAye80c0

But the truth? Fancy moves had their limits.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBbfQ1LXx9

No time for theatrics. Let them hit, boost strength with special power: "the force", and strike back harder.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRcPE60VtV

"Take this!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKO52etVy

"What is this guy?! Strong—?!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOScUwIgS0F

"You think you can take on *me*, the Narwhal !?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gKW0FOUfS

"Ugh!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4qjvvPX1e

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmXpV7dkKe

"S-Stop! I give! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuncCPp2Dkv

"Shut it, worm! You *dared* to mock me—mock *my blastersw*! No mercy!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfpIVdy0Ji

"Giiiii!?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bLU41v5I4

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsbwRClyOR

"I-I didn’t do anything, I swear—"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9F214JelJ

"56 kills in raids, huh? Lower that score if you’re gonna lie, idiot."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1FU0eEhLW

"Uwaa!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAUjuUS1Y2

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQH6tu06Ix

"H-Help me...!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx35qKdqQV

"Help you? Don’t even *think* surprise attacks will be forgiven. Scum."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHu8AQW60L

The leader, finally stepping forward, sneered with false bravado. He raised his weapon, his hand trembling.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLrRSVVhV

"Eat thi—!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDx4S7esyP

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj89GQnx5aC

"S-Sorry! Please! I won’t ever mess with you again!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWCiyapFlX

"You mocked me, didn’t you? Made light of my weapon, my *Half-Spec Blaster*!?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI4NnHNA8P

"N-No! I didn’t mean—!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQlh5XApU

"Take this! *Half-Spec Blaster Kick!*"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpqqfH1oHj

"Guohhh!"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdAaKxCoV4

My boot connected with his stomach, the force enough to lift him off the ground before he crumpled into a heap.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7pP1bYH2x

Idiots. They ruined the road with their stupidity.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObLlAuOtf8

"Never mock me—or my Half-Spec Blaster—again."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCZiLAT5j

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgHDxXK8f

"Damn Narwhal," I heard someone mutter from the observation deck. "Took on four at once. Not bad."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0udPqAwa

"Oww... way oww... dirty surprise attack," I grumbled, limping past the onlookers.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJbNkh48GE

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."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6crdGYNzS

"Go ahead," I grunted, wiping the blood from my lip. "Now, can I use the treatment room?"

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ov8xdviKj

"You’ll have to pay for it, of course," she replied, smirking.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02iMBlvjGY

"I’ll pay. Later. Just... let me lie down."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7iW8MYHbA

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.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdLefV6v0O

"Not going to rank up after this, Narwhal?" someone asked behind me.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDeT6mgU8Z

"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."

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtVwBbxcsW

"Sheesh. Too bad. He’s strong, though," another voice muttered.

242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCkaBticP4

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.
