Fiction:An Average Kraw Tale/1

Kies Kortograa of the Kraw Empire. He is known for his Heroic deeds around the Kraw Galaxy, such as defeating the Iteok twice, and helping the Kraw’s allies, the Bearian Nations Space Command, in trying to save Reach, though it was taken over by Zazane anyways. Kies is highly respected, and lives in absolute Luxury for his deeds. He is a happy Kraw.

However, his past is not as happy. In 21/02/375 KRE, an event happened to Kies that would change his life for good, and inspire him to join the military. This is An Average Kraw Tale.

In Kraw Culture, Kraw choose whether to be homeschooled or to go to an education facility. Homeschooled Kraw watch a special screen that teaches them what they need to know. It also has a camera to monitor whether the children are learning or not. Tests are taken through touching this special screen.

However, Kies chose to go to an education facility, unlike most Kraw. Kies did this because he liked the city lights and stores. He has a like for Byarg City, where he lived, and still lives today. Kies went to the Raeto Akaporoza Byargai (Akaporoza teaching facility of Byarg), however, he was often bullied there.

Kies was walking towards the eating halls, as usual, until he was grabbed by one of his back spikes.

Kies – "Gah! That hurts!" Bully Heoroe – "You’re not getting there first. I want the Kaparhew before it runs out!" Kies – "But they say they have enhough for-"

At this point, Kies was punched in the face. Heoroe really wanted the Kaparhew, which was a cream filled Ikio-butter egg. Kies went to the back of the line, but he got the Kaparhew dessert anyways.

Kies was attractive for his age. His rare trait that gives him hair and his strong body made him attractive to many females, but Kies didn’t care much about females, as he finds them a nuisance. Kies wanted to live young and free from having a mate in his home for the rest of his life.

One of the girls who wanted Kies for herself was Jaizraava, who was planning a car trip with 3 of her friends and Kies, just so she could ask Kies for a Union pact. Marriages don’t exist in the Kraw Empire, instead, Union Pacts exist, which is a uttered phrase in unison by both partners that unites them until one of them dies.

Jaizraava’s car trip was tommorow, and it was set to go to Kies’s favorite place: Byarg beach. It was hot in Byarg at the moment, and Kies liked to get some sun, so Jaizraava had a good chance to get Kies. She went to him, calmly.

Jaizraava – "Hi, Kies." Kies – "Yes?" Jaizraava – "I wanted to ask, want to come to my car trip? It’s an AI Vehicle with a hall room, set for Byarg Beach!" Kies – "Cool. When’s the trip?" Jaizraava – "Tommorow." Kies – "Hmmm, that goes in conflict with my favorite show, Ikmo Mechas. But ok, I’ll pay for Olbus for a day." Jaizraava – "Perfect! Thank you!"

Olbus was a mobile visual service which gives access to every Kraw channel in existance for 8 KR per day. Ikmo Mechas was Kies’s favorite show, which is similar to transformers, except that it takes place in one planet, and it’s a civil war between 2 species of robots, Ikmos and Kmaarosians.

However, Jaizraava had her wish come true, a whole day with her own hero, Kies. Kies was happy to go to Byarg beach, and after school, he went to his home to set up things.

He told his mother about the trip, he paid for the Olbus service for a day, and later on, he slept, him dreaming about living an adventure again. A new day came in Byarg, Horehronie. Kraw were aware of the news in their Galaxy, such as the Ahevox massacre and the conquest of the Arhk’khk Imperium by the Iteok, but the Galaxy had no clue about the Tigris war, which was occuring at the time of this story.

Kies got up, ate some meat filled bread, combed his hair, and went to the RAB school, where he waited for the car trip. Kies got early to trips, in fact, so early he has to wait for its hosts to come for him. He gazed upon the school, which was one building with 2 rectangular towers, each 5 floors high. It could fit 1000 students, however, it only had 563 this year.

A large vehicle approaced it. It was 3.5m tall and 2m wide, and was run by an AI. It was the vehicle with Jaizraava.

Jaizraava – "And I thought we’d have to wait for you! Come in!"

Kies entered, and was a bit shy. He knew where he was going, though, and he was happy. He was surprised about the looks of the AI vehicle room. It had yellow and orange walls, with a Visual holographic device, some furniture, a sofa and a window. Kies sat in the sofa with Jaizraava’s 3 friends, Reo, Barius and Kalkaruk, Barius being a Tahar. Kies was surprised to see a real Tahar beside him.

Kies – "Hi, Tahar, how is the world?" Barius – "Call me Barius. I can see that-" Jaizraava – "Shhhhh!" Kies – "What?" Jaizraava – "Kies, we’ll talk on the beach, ok?" Kies – "Allright." Kalkaruk – "I think she-" Jaizraava – "Shhhhh!" Kies – "I can’t wait to get to the beach." The vehicle passed through many parts of the city, including Emperor Kimera’s statue. Emperor Kimera unified most of the Kraw Galaxy through a treaty, and granted the Kraw leadership of the Kraw Galaxy. They also passed through Votos street, Votos being a very successful Commander, though he was aging, being 48 at the time. It would be 2 hours until they made it to the beach. It was Kilometers wide, with a nice view of the Arekon Ocean and some short trees with long leafs covering the borders of the beach. To Kies, this was his dream place.

Kies – "Nice!" Jaizraava – "I knew you’d like it." Barius - *Coughing* "I think I am incompatible with the beach’s athmosphere, must be" *Cough* "something in the sea…" Kies – "I know why, look at the sign!"

It said “Tahars may have problems with breathing the contents of Horehronie’s seas.” This was likely due to Horehronie’s seas being salt watered, while Terkom’s seas were fresh watered. Tahars are incompatible with a lot of salt, only prefering small quantities. But in the sea, salt is even in the air. In short, salt is bad for Tahars.

Barius – "I’m going to go." Reo – "Bye." Kalkaruk – "See you in the vehicle later." Jaizraava – "We’ll contact you!" Kies – "Goodbye."

Barius left, coughing on his way. Everyone else in the group enjoyed the sunny beach, some swimming in the sea, others enjoying the sun, like Kies. Jaizraava and Kies were together in the sun.

Jaizraava – "Kies, I want to tell you something." Kies – "Go ahead." Jaizraava – "I’m… attracted to you. You are the most perfect Kraw I ever seen." Kies – "I’m what? Heh." Jaizraava – "You complete me, Kies. I want to die in your arms." Kies – "Ok." Jaizraava – "So, want to make the pact?" Kies – "I don’t do pacts. I know in 20 years you’ll think I’m annoying." Jaizraava – "That’s not true." Kies – "I can see it. I saw this show on KRT2 that-" Jaizraava – "What you see in Visual Devices isn’t reality. This is true love." Kies – "Maybe later, Jaizraava. I am not feeling it." Jaizraava – "Ok, Kies. By the way, how are you liking this?" Kies – "Very well. Look, if you want to pact me I insist you prove to me you won’t become one of them." Jaizraava – "Ok, Kies the mighty."

She hugged Kies, and stood on his side, falling asleep. 2 hours later, she woke up, and found out that Kies wasn’t beside her anymore. Kies had gone for some drinks, according to Kalkaruk and Reo. However, he should have come back 30 KRE minutes ago.

Kies tried to find a store that sold Peko Soda, the most popular drink in the Kraw Empire, but he hasn’t managed to find his group in 1 hour now, because he forgot what his group’s flag looked like. In beaches, Kraw hoist flags for people to find the right group more easily.

Kies saw that it was 15:56:61 in the clock, since KRE Minutes had 70 seconds. He was a bit lost, all he knew is that the store was in the right side of where his group was. The store was in a stand built with metal, with many support beams forming triangles sustaining the stand. The store was on top of it, and some daredevil Kraw jumped off the stand into the water.

However, Kies was 2 Km away south from the group, and he didn’t know about it, so he got further south, and then back north. The group was always moving as well, searching for Kies. Kies, in a last resort, wrote on the sand “Kies is in the Ihak Store, in the stand that divides the beach.” And then he went away, back to the store.

On the way, he noticed the time. 16:20 now. He wrote more signs in the sand, hoping his group will find him. However, one Kraw looked at the messages in the sand, and erased them.

Kies went to the Ihak store, where he found Barius with a breather mask.

Kies – "Barius, have you seen the group? I got lost." Barius – "They went here 10 minutes ago, I’ll contact them. You forgot your contacter, didn’t you?" Kies – "Yes, that’s why I couldn’t call them."

He then draws his Olbus mobile visual device, and starts watching his favorite show, Ikmo-mechas. Upon a sudden realization while watching a scene from his show, he renembered what his group’s flag was like. It was red with 4 tiny black stripes.

Upon the realization, he rushed back out of the store and into the flag’s direction, where he saw Reo in, but before he could reach his destination, he tripped on something, then he had the back of his neck hit, then he passed out.

He was dragged around by a guy with a long rifle and 2 mini guns. So no Kraw dared to rescue him. Reo saw that Kies was the man who was being dragged, and tried to find Kalkaruk and Jaizraava. Kies was put in a car, and was driven to an occult part of Byarg…

Reo has just found Barius, who was with his breather. Both spoke.

Reo – "Someone captured Kies!" Barius – "Oh Evonus!" Reo – "Who?" Barius – "Current Tahar Emperor." Reo – "Oh ok. But warn the others! Look, here they come!"

Jaizraava and Kalkaruk arrived to the conversation, both with shocked faces upon their realization that Kies was missing.

Jaizraava – "My future mate is gone! Agh!" Reo – "Indeed, he was put in a car. Unluckily for us, Kies forgot his freaking phone." Barius – "But I memorized Kies’s Olbus receiver’s number, 01929304. We just have to get to an Olbus store and ask to trace it." Jaizraava – "Let’s go then, Let’s go!!!" Kalkaruk – "Geez, you’re really in love with him…"

Jaizraava clawed Kalkaruk for that statement. In the meanwhile, Kies woke up, tied to a chair with metal wires tied to his legs and his arms tied behind his back. A Kraw came, with strange body paintings Kies couldn’t decypher because he was a bit dizzy from just waking up.

??? – "Listen up, Byargan bastard, we do not tolerate your kind at all. You brag about all your KrawVision wins and your freaking beaches…" *Spits* "I’ll just lock you downstairs with the other prisoners…"

Kies then was thrown into the basement, where a starving Kraw, a sick Kraw and a burned Kraw were present. They were also captured in the beach where he was. Kies could be known in this dark, black basement with no furniture or anything at all as the Tied Kraw.

Kies – "Where am I…?" “Burned Kraw” Alporex – "No clue. I was sleeping in the beach, and when I woke up I was on fire!" “Sick Kraw” Hevraaga – "I’m *cough* scared, they put toxic poison *cough* on me and I’m very sick!" “Starving Kraw” Kmorgaa – "I haven’t eaten in 2 days… I’m starving…"

Kies struggled to break free from his wires, but he couldn’t by himself. Then he noticed a fatal flaw in all this mess - The other 3 weren’t tied at all, just a little bit disabled.

Kies – "Can anyone help?" Alporex – "I’m so burned I can’t!" Hevraaga - *Cough cough cough* Kmorgaa – "Too weak… need food…"

Kies then noticed he still had the cans of Peko soda with him. How the kidnappers didn’t remove the soda from him was beyond Kies’s comprehension.

Kies – "Hey, starving guy, want your stomach filled up, have one of my cans!" Kmorgaa – "No fooling? Thanks!" Kies – "Hey, burned man, extinguish your burns with a drink, have one of my cans!" Alporex – "Yeah! Thank you!" Kies – "Lady, I can’t heal you, but have one of my cans!" Hevraaga - *Cough* "Thanks."

2 of them drank their cans. Alporex simply showered the soda cans onto himself. 2 of the 3 were relieved temprarily, Hevraaga still being sick, Kmorgaa still needing something to eat, and Alporex still needing a doctor. They untied Kies using whatever strength they could find, and then, they discussed a plan.

Kies – "When I open that door, we charge towards the kidnappers, stun them, then flee!" All other 3 – "We’ll try…" Kies – "1… 2… 3!"

All 4 ran towards the door, opened it, and started to run towards the door, but they still had one more obstacle to overcome, the leader of the kidnappers.

??? – "What? How did you 4 break free?" Hevraaga – "Because we worked as a team!" *Cough* "And you’re alone!" ??? – "Why didn’t I tie all 4 of you??? Men!!!"

6 other people started walking towards the 4 Kraw. They were surrounded. However, Kies found a flare on the floor, possibly dropped from the Leader’s pocket. He used it to break through the wooden wall in the right side of the Leader, and all attempted to run away through the hole, but Kies, the last to run, was caught.

??? – "You worthless pile of-"

He was then punched in the back of the neck by Kies, and then he ran away, with the other 6 chasing him. The other 3 have ran to safety, only Kies was being chased. Kies, while running, noticed he was on a different beach, though with the same style as the one he was on with Jaizraava, and that it was nighttime. Kies ran away past the small trees and the streets and into a store, where he ducked. The storeowner noticed him, and walked to him.

Storeowner – "Hi, young man, what is it?" Kies – "I was captured and then dropped in a basement, then I got out, then- Oh by the way, how much is that Ketarg?" Storeowner – "Iteok call them Rhinerorht, or "swords". This was made in the Iteok Dark ages. It costs 25 KR, because nobody wanted it for 12 freaking years!" Kies – "I’ll take it."

Kies took the sword, or in KUL known as Ketarg for 25 Kron, Kron being the Kraw’s currency. He only had 15 more Kron left, so he focused on finding transportation back to the Daika zone of Byarg. He noticed he was in the Lozu zone, which was 10 Km away from the Daika zone. He waited for a vehicle to transport him back home. The B17 bus would go right past his home. He waited, but a group of people walked towards him.

??? – "Are you Kies Kortograa? I heard you rescued 3 people from captivation!"
