"Katsuo:You alright man..?"
"Tatsuya:Yeah..Lets all go home..I am riding you to your place Ryota.."
"Ryota:Alright.."
(The leaders tell the others they are leaving and they go their seperate ways..Tatsuya rides Ryota home and then gives him some cash...)
"Ryota:Thanks man.."
"Tatsuya:No problem homie.."
(He drives off..when Ryota looks at his phone he sees that he has had 100 missed calls...Its from Kyio..He sees that its 9 pm so he decides to call her...She answers and sounds sad and tired..)
"Ryota:Hey,you called..?"
"Kyio:Yeah..Kazuki is missing..He said he is going to the playground..But that was 5 hours ago..."
"Ryota:Oh..Alright..I'll check the playground.."
"Kyio:Okay..Thanks.."
(She ends the call and Ryota walks to the playground...He sees Kazuki being beaten up by 3 kids...He runs in and pushes one of them away...He sees that one of them has a knife..)
"Ryota:Hey..Easy there kid..No one needs to be hurt.."
"Unknown:Who are you!"
(He tries to stab Ryota,he almost dodges but he impales Ryotas shoulder..)
"Ryota:Ow..Motherfucker!"
(He pushes him away again and they run away..Ryota looks down and sees Kazuki beaten up and cut up...He picks him up and makes his way to the apartments..
He opens the door and Kyio is sitting in the couch..She looks extremely worried...Ryota turns on the light and Kyio looks at them..She runs over and kisses Ryota..Then she grabs Kazuki and places him on the couch..)
"Kyio:Thanks Ryo.."
"Ryota:Anytime...Can you help me with this switchblade in my shoulder..It hurts alot..."
(Kyio takes his jacket off carefully and exposes his shoulder...She pulls the knife out quick and pours alcohol on it and bandages it up..Ryota almost screams from the pain,but holds it in..)
"Kyio:There.."
"Ryota:Thanks...I owe alot to you.."
(They kiss again and smile at eachother..)
"Ryota:Well I have to go home and study..See you tomorrow Kyio.."

"Ryota:Yuri!"
(He runs to him and checks if he is breathing...)
"Ryota:Okay..He is still breathing.."
(Ryota grabs his phone and calls for the ambulance..They arrive and take Ryota and Yuri to the hospital...A few hours pass..Yuri is still in the operation room...Tatsuya finally arrives...)
"Tatsuya:What happened..?"

"Tatsuya:Damn..Is he alright..?"
"Ryota:I don't know yet.."
(The other leaders arrive..Ryota tells them what happened..Now it was time to wait for the doctors...)

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
