~=Prologue=~
Earth, a planet full of humans who go about their business, whether that be normal business, bartering, trading, drilling, manufacturing, or suicide bombing each others shopping malls. All the while they go about their normal routine blissfully unaware of the worlds out there, so far away from them. Some do not know, others do but just don't care, and some know, but are classified as delusional and end up either ostracized by society or fitted with a straight jacket and given a nice room with soft walls. Earth has had a history of non-tolerance of other societies, ideas, and such things, therefore they have fated themselves to be generally disliked throughout the galaxy. However, most other alien civilizations could care less about that third rock from the sun. Most of them have reached the conclusion that Earth would eventually destroy itself in the long run, believing it would simply blast itself until it became an unstable nuclear moon-like rock. Others see hope in the future of Earth, some even believe they should assist Earth, while quite a large amount just want to keep out of Earth's business, fearing that if they offered help, their planet may end up the same way as Earth, volatile and unstable. Now there are perfected societies on the other planets, highly advanced technologies, administrative governments, and fair economies, but Earth is not alone. Many planets operate the same way. One is so much like Earth, that if one saw a newspaper title from said planet, they might figure they're on Earth. Their leader and military have been known to make stupid decisions just as Earth's does, their planet has oceans, land masses, and tectonic shifts like Earth. Their economy operates the same way, their technology is a bit further advanced, as they integrate organic compenents into their mechanical developments, but other than the technology and the species inhabiting the planet, it's not much different from Earth. They are the Krill, a race with a higher respect for each other and authority, although they are a bit stricter in procedure. They are ruled by the aptly named Tyrannical Overlord, who is a lot like the President of the planet. They know about Earth, Earth knows about them, and they have in fact had a few encounters, but that's been long forgotten and omitted from history text. Only Earth and Krill government files keep any records of the occurences. Many people remember these things on their own however, and there's little the governments could do about so many people. After these incidents, Humans and Krill hoped never to cross paths again. But unfortunately for them...an unlikely turn of events is going to bring them, as well as most of the galaxy together.

Oooh sounds intresting. Nice job.

~=Chapter One: Ozzy's Files=~

It was a calm night on Earth, and a young man by the name of Ginji Rudo was out on the town. Ginji was a rather odd one, but he was held in the highest respect by the lowlifes, as he was quite a well revered street fighter. He also had a bit of a perverted mind, but the girls he dated were just about the same. Unfortunately for him he had never found the perfect girl for him. It seemed as though there wasn't a girl on the planet who seemed right. Ginji wasn't at all unattractive. He was a rather well built individual, as one would expect from a street fighter. He had odd yellow hair, which was about thirteen inches long. For the sake of his individuality, he had dyed his ends red, making his hair look roughly like flames whenever he was hit by the wind. The most peculiar thing about his hair is that two locks of it, one smaller than the other stood up out front entirely on their own. He's never really been sure why he keeps it that way, other than the fact it was 'kinda cool'. He usually wore a black coat, which was much like a trench coat. He wore rather tight pants, which many people assume is latex. His belt was red with a gold buckle in the shape of a rather creepy symbol. His father had given it to him. Around his abdomen he usually wore bandages up to just under his rib cage. He has never really explained why he wears them, and much less does he really have a reason to.

It was an eerily quiet night, but then again, he WAS out at twelve forty five at night. He had just been to a Gelato Shop, which was always open for some odd reason. Other than himself, Ginji couldn't think of anyone who would want something THAT late at night. He had been there for roughly two hours, reading up on some historical documents of conspiracy theorists regarding extreaterrestrial activity. Ginji believed his father had been taken away by some species of aliens...he had witnessed it himself. Unfortunately no one ever believed him. Ginji hated the fact that not many people saw him as trustworthy, other than the ruffians he dealt with. He was a smat kid, having an above-average intelligence. He could be classified as a nerd, except anyone trying to atagonize him for that reason would quickly be missing some teeth. Ginji was rather short-tempered, despite his high intelligence rating. He wasn't what you would call a prodigy. He was in fact the leader of a fighting league as well as an obscure gang, which was on the verge of becoming a full blown syndicate. He had made quite a few great accomplishments in his life, unfortunately most were seen as bad.

He entered an alleyway to meet with a friend of his, who went by the name of Ozzy. Ozzy was a rather geeky little fellow who wore a lab coat all the time and goggles. He was as smart as Ginji, and was quite good at technological things. He had been Ginji's best friend since they were five. Ozzy had always been alone in the world. The fact was that Ozzy was an orphan and lived with someone who took him in. This someone was a rather attractive girl who was born in japan, but not truly japanese. Ozzy was somewhat goofy at times, and when he's aggravated he resorts to throwing things. He was a funny guy, in more than one way. He's been diagnosed with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, which causes him to act entirely silly at times, but that's not really a bad thing, since he enjoys it. His favorite thing to do is laugh insanely, which he does whenever he accomplishes something difficult. Due to this, he once got kicked out of an arcade when he beat the highest score, and laughed insanely.

Ozzy was waiting on a large crate as Ginji entered the alleyway.
"Hey Ozzy." Ginji said rather blandly.
"Yo Ginji! Guess what!" Ozzy said.
Ginji looked up at him.
"What?"
"I've found files on the excavation site of alien remains, and it's not too far from here!" Ozzy hopped down as he spoke. "Out in a field, and by the age of remains, they had deceased not too long ago either! Do you know what this means?"
"That it died on Earth?" Ginji said.
"Yes, and that the ones who sent it will come looking for their lost explorer! f we head there now and camp out, we might get to see them!" Ozzy said.
"Eh...I have nothing better to do...let's go." Ginji said.
Ozzy nodded and picked up a stack of papers and led Ginji out of the alley.

~=Chapter Two: The IMPROBABLE happens=~

Ozzy and Ginji had been sitting in the woods for about four hours now. Ginji was getting tired, while Ozzy was higher than a kite, on pure sugar. He'd been scarfing down candy for the past two and a half hours. Ozzy seemed to always have a load of junk in his pockets. His left pocket was like a utility closet, his right was his candy vault.
"You know this whole thing is totally impossible right?" Ginji said.
"Huh?" Ozzy hadn't really been paying attention.
"The chance of the aliens coming back right now to pick up their fallen comrade, it's completely impossible for that to happen." Ginji grumbled.
"Not impossible, just improbable." Ozzy said.
Ginji grumbled something unintelligable, and closed his eyes.
About two hours later, Ozzy woke him up.
"Ginji! GINJI!" Ozzy was shouting.
"Wha...? Huh? I'm awake." Ginji said.
"I saw them! They were in the sky! I swear!" Ozzy stated excitedly.
"Yeah right..." Ginji mumbled.
"What's the matter with you?" Ozzy asked.
"It's not going to happen Ozzy, it's impossible." Ginji stated blandly.
"It isn't IMPOSSIBLE!" Ozzy said, a bit annoyed.
"It is TOO! Aliens are NOT going to land here, they're not going to investigate, they're not going to appear at all!" Ginji said.
Ozzy jumped up.
"Why are you being like this?!"
"Because it's not going to happen! There's not a snowballs chance in heck that it'll happen. Hundreds of people have done this sort of thing and have never seen a single thing even resembling a UFO!" Ginji also stood up.
"Well it's still a possibility!" Ozzy said angrily.
"Don't be a moron! At this rate you'll be a psychotic little man with a long beard in a psychiatric hospital when you're old!" Ginji shouted.
Ozzy leapt at him.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I'm going to PROVE aliens exist!"
Ginji and Ozzy tumbled down the hill.
"YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A DREAMER!" Ginji said.
"They're real! They'll be here!" Ozzy screamed.
"You've got a better chance of hell freezing over for a year!" Ginji said.
Suddenly they were engulfed by a bright light beam. They both looked up to see one huge light shining down on them, five lights surrounding it. Otherworldly letters were inscribed on the hull of the odd craft.
Ozzy smirked.
"It's going to be a cold year in hell I suppose."
His smirk soon disappeared when two huge robotic claws reached down and seized him and Ginji. They were both pulled up into the ship and the lights shut off. The orb-shaped craft lifted directly upward into the sky and disappeared into the stars.

The two found themselves in a room with green walls and a metal floor, like some sort of bizarre office. Ozzy, who was facing the opposite direction of Ginji, passed out suddenly. Ginji looked at him with a sort of 'what-the-hell' expression, then turned around to see what had caused Ozzy to react in such a way. Then he saw it...it was sort of hard to miss. A purple skinned girl with green iris eyes, and two fin-like things where her ears would be was standing there. She wore nothing but an odd sort of armor that covered very little except the...extremeties one would say. He soon realized that this armor wasn't armor at all, but was actually a sybiotic parasite-like organism. It seemed difficult to come to this conclusion at first, but even the most inexperienced deductor could figure it out due to the large eyeball that was looking from Ozzy to Ginji on the girls helmet, that and the teeth.
She was quite a beautiful girl, and the living armor somehow added to her allure.

"Hello Earth man." she said, in quite a sterotypical hottie voice, but with the tone of a military official. That sort of took the mind away from other things.
"Uh...uh...hello?" Ginji said.
"My name is Sliss." the alien lovely said.
"Er...my name is Ginji, and this is Ozzy." Ginji said.
"Ah, that's Ozzy, he's the one who's been sending out those preposterous messages. Somehow he managed to send it directly to the Krill High Command." Sliss said.
"He has?! He's been speaking to other beings this whole time?! Why that little..." Ginji said, about to strangle Ozzy.
"Not exactly, we never returned transmissions." Sliss said. "Now follow me Earth Man, and bring your freaky little friend with you."
She exited the room and Ginji followed, dragging Ozzy behind.

...

~=Chapter Three: Enlistment=~

Ginji was following the lovely alien girl down a hall. Green walls and transparent glass-like floor. Below he could see the Earth itself, the whole thing. They must have been pretty far out in orbit...maybe that's why no one had detected them. He had never really taken the time to notice just how beautiful the Earth looked fromt hat far. Then again, he ha dnever been out this far from it. The beauty of the Earth was incredible, but in Ginji's mind, the most lovely thing he's seen is the very creature that had just abducted him. Ozzy had by that time woken up and was observing the place keenly. No doubt he was evaluating the place, inspecting every detail, ever variation of technology, the components of the complex structure.
"This is Krill Starbase 7. We're over Earth observing humans reactions to adverse conditions." Sliss said.
"Adverse conditions? Everythings been normal." Ginji said.
"That's because the testing hasn't begun." Sliss stated.
Ginji thought for a moment. HE wasn;t sure what she meant by adverse conditions, but he had the feeling it wasn't good. Then he had another thought.
"Why did you bring us aboard?" Ginji asked.
Sliss sighed.
"Two of our operatives, my sisters, Lolly and Folly were to examine the Earth's current conditions for any abnormalities. Unfortunately they were shot down." Sliss said. "I had remained her to keep contact with them."
"Shot down...?" Ginji wondered. There were no military bases or anything that he knew of around his hometown.
"Both of them were killed in the crash, leaving me." Sliss said "And two empty places in our ranks."
Ginji thought again, then came to the quick realiziation of hat she was inferring.
"You want us to fill those places?!" He said, surprised that an alien species would be so entrusting.
"Yes but don't expect to be thought of as an equal quite yet. you must prove yourself." Sliss said.
There went the entrusting part of Ginji's hypothesis.

Sliss led the two perplexed earth men into a room with two containment tubes.
"This is called the Skinning room." Sliss said.
"Skinning?" Ginji asked, a bit apprehensive now.
"You will be fitted with a Krill parasite." she said.
Ozzy was clearly enjoying this, his inquisitive mind taking up as much information possible. There were times that Ginji wondered if OZZY was an alien, because he seemed to use his brain more than most humans, even thought that wasn't saying much.
"Step forward." Sliss said.
Ginji took a deep breath and stepped up to the containment tube. Suddenly it opened and a beast lunged at him. Before he knew what was happening it was wrapping around him. If asked, he would have to admit he was freaked out by this.
In no time, he had the bizarre creature on him, acting as armor. He felt a bit...odd. Stronger, improved by this being.
It was Ozzy;s turn. He stepped up to one of the tubes and experienced the same freaky ordeal that Ginji had. But oddly, the creature stayed under his lab coat and such. He grinned.
"Awesome..."
