Lucifs fist landed hard against the bones of the giant Orc’s wrist. Lucif felt some serious recoil from slamming against the Orc’s solid bone, and his dense muscles blocked some of the power so it didn’t break or even fracture. But it definitely injured him a bit.

Without a weapon it became a fist fight as they exchanged blow after blow. Lucif dodged every single hit and didn’t let a single one touch him in the slightest. This visibly frustrated the Orc as he slammed his fist like a mad man.

This Orc was very skilled compared to the others he had met so far. He had experience in some sort of martial art. Maybe a refined version of street fighting but it wasn’t even in the same realm as Lucifers. His muscles were powerful and strong but he was just too slow and unskilled.

The Orc threw another fist in the shadow of his first fist to disguise it. The fist flew towards him and the Orc smiled as he felt it connect with Lucifs hand. He knew Lucif wouldn’t be able to block it because Lucif was only a little kid and he was a 7 foot giant.

But little did he know that he had already lost. Despite his giant body, powerful muscles, high stature and over 200 kilograms in weight he was sent flying through the sky like a rock in a sling.

Lucif had redirected all that power and sent him flying towards the ceiling. But he didn’t end the attack right away. He quickly followed it up and grabbed his wrist then struck 5 or 6 times in at instant before sliding across the tiles and diving towards the ground. As the Orc landed with a thump, Lucif had already positioned himself in a spot to heavily damage the Orcs face.

1…2....5…..7…….13…..19….24…..32…

In an instant Lucif had launched dozens of punches and completely demolished the Orcs facial features. His nose was bleeding, his eyes were puffed up, his bottom teeth were chipped and he had lost consciousness.

25 seconds later he awoke, the Orc stood up only to find the three of them casually walking away like the fight was just a minor inconvenience. They even left his axe lying right next to him, “Tsk, leaving my axe and not even worrying about it? You dare look down on me?” He puffed out his chest and ignored his throbbing head and bleeding face.

The surrounding people quickly walked passed, in their opinion the Orc was just trying to bully the little kids so they were happy when he got beat up. But if they had heard Lucifer casually calling them Aliens they would have reacted too.

The Orc grabbed his axe and went to lift it up when he realized he didn’t have the power to grip it and dropped it instantly. That’s when he felt a strong wave of pain coming from his wrist. “Ahhh…”

No matter what he did, he couldn’t get a good hold of the axe. In the end with a look of dejection on his face, he grabbed it with his left hand and tucked it away, returning it to the sheath on his back. He could try fighting them while wielding his axe with his left hand but he was significantly weaker with his left hand so it wouldn’t change anything. After experiencing Lucifs skill firsthand he knew he couldn’t take revenge anytime soon so he decided to give up. First he would train more and then use his underground connections to find the kid so he could personally make Lucif eat dirt.

He walked away, looking for Platform 9 with a heart full of broken pride and inner frustration.

They walked off and continued to look around the ISTC. Lucif didn’t carry on his beating and left him with a bit of dignity. He damaged his wrist to end the fight prematurely. Hot headed types like his like to fight even when they lose time and time again. He should know because he’s the same type of person.

“Why was he so mad? What’s so taboo about the word,” He lowered his voice and made sure no one was listening in, “Alien.”

Ambrosia spoke up but kept her voice low too, “When humanity expanded their territories, we enslaved everyone that wasn’t human. We were the only race capable of space travel and our technology vastly exceeded theirs and every other race we came across. There were only a few races that could challenge us but in the end we formed treaties with them and then wiped them out when they weren’t expecting it. After we established our dominance, we enslaved every alien from the Almacatites to the Zeelabadytes. We slaughtered, tortured, conquered and enslaved them all. Not millions, not billions but trillions of them. Simply because they were aliens and we were the superior race. It wasn’t until 50 years ago when we finally freed them. But many humans still hold prejudice and refer to them as filthy Aliens.”

“Ah…” A light bulb went off in Lucifs head. It was similar to niggas, chinks and other racial slurs. ‘Okay, I better not use that term too lightly.’ He thought but he couldn’t help but smirk. ‘Time’s really don’t change much. It’s just like back home.’

There were many different golden gates located around; it was similar to a train station. The letters and numbers on top indicated their platform. There were many hundreds of different platforms, most of them travelled to other planets within the surrounding solar system or different space stations around the planet.

They wondered along the space station and were drop jawed when they saw a gigantic docking bay that looked like it could fit an entire city inside. The earth was dug out 5 kilometers deep. You could even see magma flowing at the bottom of the gigantic cut in the earth. It was like staring into the depths of hades.

“What is this?” They were shocked by the gigantic opening in the middle of the station. Around the outside of it were various guard rails and a force field but he could still clearly see the bright glow of molten lava at the bottom. Along the giant 5 kilometer deep crevice wall were giant machines spanning far into the distance. They were imbedded into the wall, seeming to make up its entire body.

They were basically country bumpkins in this new environment as they stared out in amazement and wonder.
