Description [ Lalala and Eruru sat on the only couch of Eruru's new ship of residence, watching television after a night of cheese and crackers, board games, and stuffing goofy synthetic gelatin-fluids in their mouths.

A blaring siren drowned mood of relaxation and jolted the two onto their feet. Red alert was issued by the ship's computers as sensors identified a small alien vessel headed on a certain collision course with this vessel.

Eruru had no time to grab from his only source of food or anything physical. Memory was fooled by confusion and apprehension as he raced with Lalala down unfamiliar halls, leading the way as best he could to the evacuation chamber.

An explosion followed by grinding and groaning that drowned out the noise of red alert threw the two young Keronians against the wall. Moments of silence followed. The program "red alert" decided that if no one was alerted by the collision, they were already dead, and saved the ship's energy by cutting off the sound but leaving the halls and rooms of the ship glowing bright red.

Panting heavily, Eruru sat up, got on his knees, and crawled over to check on Lalala. She was in shock and bruised, but able to continue. As they stood up, a faint, shrill biological cry echoed through the metallic ship. Eruru froze. Cautiously, he put on his goggles, setting them to a heat-vision setting so as to identify the noise before it identified them, hopefully.

The two continued on, first walking, but working cautiously into a run. The sound came closer. Metal boomed and groaned. Lights flickered. It was tearing through the walls to get to them. Whatever it was, it knew exactly where they were.

And it was ahead of them.

Eru grabbed Lalala and ran, turning a corner before the doors to the emergency segment of the ship came into view. They rushed for it desperately. Their chests thudded twice as quickly as their feet. The metal ahead of them folded and pounded almost as rapidly. They passed the noise just as the screeching broke free of the metal. The door opened with as hiss before them. When they turned their heads to look, they quickly wished they hadn't. The creature was hideously green, and failed to follow any normal form of anatomical construction. Muscular tentacles grew out of its belly like hair. Though, thankfully, its mouth must have faced some other direction, because they could not find one. The two frogs cried out in unison and sped up their pace.

Eruru heard it screech once more before he it pierced the thick air behind him with its appendage. He turned to find his friend missing, and his heart sunk. Another tentacle sped and reached for his ankle...

OKAY SO SORRY FOR THE CRAPPILY WRITTEN STORY BUT THERE'S THE GIST.

I DREW THIS FOR LEEANN because she jut blew my MIND in iscrib last night AND NOW I AM PAYING HER BACK hopefully :C

I needed to upload something where Eru wasn't alone, anyway. SO PERFECT EXCUSE.]

((I cannot tell you how AMAZING this is. Not only is the scene itself fantastically well drawn, but the story to go with it is the icing on the cake. Writing and illustration work hand-in-hand and it is something I wish to do at some point. : D BRA-VO.))

[ Wish to do? Swizz, you have already done quite a fair amount of it! Nagogo's death, Dragon!Nago, all those. Your art is inspiration for me to do scenes like this, you know. You seem to have an uncanny ability for making an adventure out of drawings that brings people closer within the group, and attracts new members, too! C:

But thank you very much. I do appreciate the comments. It keeps me motivated and brings up my confidence.~ ]
