Now Moxxie use to destroying big things.

Well, they know it is big. Physically. Hello, one AU after another isn't small. Besides the whole logic of a soul being connected too. There were times, at least with new worlds, they did have to study the AU. Originally, copying it didn't matter as long as they got familiar with it. Even the smallest change. It would take them a day or two. Those were pains in the asses to deal with since they would already have a lot on their schedule. Along with voices yelling out reminders of how slow they are. Other copies to destroy. Murder. Get the drift.

In this situation however Moxxie was just done.

They want to get this over and done. Want to get rid of the plague of bugs. Can get it out of their hands. Get out of their mind. Maybe, if they're lucky to have time go to see the animals. Not for long! No, time to be a babysitter.

Right now, an exterminator!

Still, they will not fully rush in. Got to find the source. Study the insides and outs. Find a way to bring any bugs back. Which would be inside of the egg rock.

Joy.

"Now where to go. Where to go." Study the thing, while also taking cover to not be spotted. It's like one after another either a bug going in and out the place. Ways to get in along with out. Just a bug always there. There will be a high chance no matter which way they get in. Will, be spotted. About ready to just rage and just go out of it.

SCREECH!

SCREECH!

Glance to see four bugs leap out to grab a star. Still a little bit of light left. Yet, the group will try to get to it first. To do its duty. Infest.

Idea pops up.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Swarms of bugs scattered out the hive. Many staying bugs screech at the intruders ready to eliminate. Jump out to get on a kind of floating rock to get to their target. Or float to reach it which resulted in many climbing on top of the others.

Five floating, glitch up dragon head like blasters each take different direction. To get them to follow. To attack.

Distraction.

A cloak disappeared into the lower middle section of the hole. A blaster zooms by while the bugs give chase.

You would think if you're inside a hide of anything bug related. Space or non-space it would be sticky, shiny, or just flesh like. Really anything organic. Nope. Just rock like structure. Even cold to the touch.

So, cold.

It surprises them a bit. It's been a while since they felt this kind of level of coldness. Can see their breath coming out the slit eye holes. Weird.

Don't bugs not do well with cold? Unless space is cold it is very different. Something to put down in their notes later. Research later. Kept walking quietly in the hole. Stop randomly if they hear them scurrying close by or outside. Open up a CHECK along with the codes.

"All right give me some kind of direction." Even a map to get to where they need to be.

Two miles there. Then began to the inside a version of a map. The inside of the eggs showed many tunnels. Tunnels, after tunnels. All do lead inside, outside along with the center.

Here.

With that they run.

Run. Run. One turn here. One turn there. Jump up into hole. Just running, jumping, turning, and maybe stop if they hear something for a few seconds. Then just continued back. It would feel like hours running in a maze. But for Moxxie it felt like at least a few minutes. About to make another turn but stop. Move head to look past the corner. In front was another hole but the hole wasn't what they were focusing on.

It was a dark liquid-like substance taking up a lot of view.

Tilt their head. Glance down at the map they can only see. We're up in a higher position. Would take seven steps to be at the center where all this is coming from. Start to take a few steps but stop. Not to be seen but can still look around the sight.

In the center, that was holding this dark substance. It quite clearly showed it was huge. Took up a lot of space from above. Still gave enough space if a bug were to come through. Glance back up at the liquid till there was movement pressed against it. Can see how whatever was holding it inside was like a sack. A sack filled with tiny bugs swarming inside.

Gross.

Look below as the sack goes all the way down. Eyes narrow as their vision trying to take in the details. It looks like the mouth and the upper half of its body looks like the other bugs. Just bigger. No, legs of sorts. The lower part connects to the sack. Must be the Queen.

Reopen the CHECK. Push a bit deeper in the magic to get what they need.

Resting.

The source of the poison.

All of them here.

Good.

Eyes glowed as their strings started to surround the sack. There were a lot of strings to wrap around. Tread in place and soon even on the body off the bigger bug connected to the sack. Just not on the mouth. Then with a light tug they got what they needed.

SCREECHES

The Queen screeches. Like it knew something was wrong. Too call everyone back.

Good.

Moves, as Moxxie starts to jump to get all the way at the top. The thread following behind. Jump till they were on top of the sack. Waits for 30 seconds.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

On cue all five of blaster heads get inside the center. Then flew up. Along with swarms of bugs that were chasing the blasters. Many fell down from the holes, screeched and even swam to the Queen. Try to take the threads off.

Jump on the first head that reaches them. While the other four blast a hole from above. As that happens another set of strings burst out down below. Fast hand movements as Moxxie began to make a shape out the string. It would have almost been mistaken for a net. A net to trap all the bugs. Tug as the string from the net not stopping at all. Began to spread out fast trapping bug to not escape from the holes.

Not letting anything get in or out.

Pull tightly as the blasters start to move up. Out the blast radius.

SCREECHES

SCREECHES!

SCREECHES!

SCREECHES!

Eyes glowed behind the mask, along with the five blasters opening their mouth up. Arms crises cross. Then quick, fast spread their arms wide up pulling off the final tug, along with the blasters shooting down below.

BOOM!

Moxxie relaxed a bit as they turned around a bit. Okay. That's taken care of now. Will do a double check just in case. Probably be a bug or two still out in space. If not at least poison stars. Can take care of that. After making sure everything around here and clear up. Then can-

SWOOSH!

Rat Sake!

"Can you start at the beginning?"

"Okay. Remember those bugs. The space ugly ones. Poison sack. Spit out stars."

"Yes. The same ones I almost got a heart attack when one bit you."

"Well, found the nest. Destroyed it."

"Tell me you didn't get hurt."

"I healed."

"Moxxie."

"I'm fine Madre stayed my distance. I'm just relived to not deal with them anymore."

He made extra sure of that.

"Yes, well I'm pleased you don't have too either. One thing out my head to not worry about to hurt you. Got to say would have impressed many Imps down here."

"Probably would say some junk how it was magic and not pure muscle."

"Moxxie," Another sigh but can feel like she trying to not smile. "What am I going to do with you my feral child?"

"Kept me this long. Might as well extend it."

"Sarcasm noted. Are you going to extend your 'days off'?"

"No, just will be here till Monday."

"Should call your back."

"I'll send a business text." Stare up at the ceiling. "Hey Madre."

"Yeah?"

"I really dislike space bugs."

"Noted. Are you going back to space anytime soon?"

"Don't know. Hopefully just to go sightseeing. Should bring you next time."

"I be delighted to see it. As long as there are no bugs. Got enough to deal with rats."

"Don't have to worry about that. Everything good there?"

"Yes. Crucible and Bombproof are good. Still, get snippy when I put a halt on the blood carrots. Bolt is fine. The mariachi bands. Well, they know how to charm their way through singing. The town seems to like them. Especially the bar when a fight happens."

"Surprise you let them stay longer."

"Well even if I wanted to kick them out. Will go on repeat, that they were requested to stay." Maria chuckled and sighed. "So, much singing."

"Yes...Requested." Eyes drop down a bit.

"Moxxie?"

"I'm here."

"You and Striker. What will you do?"

Moxxie was silent as they kept the phone pressed to their cheek. Mind going in different direction on what that question means. At the same time knows. "I really don't want to answer that question."

"Moxx- "

"I just don't want to talk about it right now."

"All right." A small sigh. "I worry about you."

Close their eyes a bit. "I know Madre...I kept you up too long. Should let you rest."

"Hey now. I don't mind talking to my favorite feral child."

"Don't tease me." Grumble even if their eyes relax to hear her chuckle. "Your mean."

"You can be a punk."

"Guilty. Night Madre."

"Night Mox, get some rest. I mean it."

"Right. Night Madre, be safe."

"You too."

Both phones soon hung up.

Moxxie stare at the ceiling again as they pulled the phone back. Look at that missed a lot of notifications. IMP group. Along with a notice money brought over. Their tail grabbed the phone to put it on the toilet seat. Then lays flat over the tub. Not able to turn at the moment so went the lazy route while in the tub.

Not to relax sadly.

The upper part of their body is bare. While I still had clothes down below. The clothes before on the ground along with the mask, necklace and their favorite scarf. Lay up a bit against the tub. While their right hand is still moving their fingers. Make up a mess to see the blue tear marks. One flick after another while the healing thread does it job. Not moving their left side at all. An open wound on their left chest, as black blood goes down their body, or in the water.

Glance at the chest as their strings are still working. Skin from their back already got it closed and stitched up. Sure, they could just stitch up the front part of their chest. Still, it wouldn't be fun moving around while bones, organs, and tissues have to self-regenerate. So, was now using the strings to heal them. It felt weird. Different for them. At least to heal.

Still, he can't believe I got distracted like that. To get pierced from a sharp spear like rock.

Of course, if it was anyone else out in space would be screaming at them. Why? Oh, even though Moxxie got pierce along with bleeding out. Just was going about their time doing the job. Got to make sure nothing was left behind. The Blasters just ordered around to make sure as well. The only clue would be after coughing up blood that it was time to get this fixed now.

Which they are doing now in their bathtub.

"Not bad like the meteorite still an annoyance." Still, remember being hit from behind from that meteorite.

Everyone always likes to strike from the back. Try to get the hit first. Or hope to kill them off. Stop them before destroying anything. Even down here can recall it happen a lot. Just a repeat of a cycle should of pick up by now. At least get back to their instincts when they do a job.

A job now done.

It took them a long while but finally the insides were done. Blood can't do much about it besides let the heart do the job. That correct right? Move their fingers to do a final stitching on the skin. The strings stitch tightly. Will vanish once their body no longer needs it. Got to say I really like these healing strings.

Got out the water, a bit wobbly, and cleaned up. Threw on a sweater along with drier comfy pants, their necklace, and scarf. Just went to a slump on the bed. Would have laughed at the ridiculous thought. Look at that in Striker bed. It was always the couch for the two of them. Even moving in was just always the couch.

What a new little change.

Barely move till their tail brings up their phone. Pull their glasses back out to stare at the messages, along with the time. A quick message to Millie that they made it back, won't be up as they're now 'sleeping' and grab key later.

Don't need her thinking someone broke in. Which would be a surprise for them all.

Eyes soften going through text after text being sent by Millie. Even a few photos of how it works. Or with IMP. Then stop at an attachment photo Millie sent Friday. That was yesterday, right? Today is Saturday now.

It was Millie, Sallie, Blitz and Stolas together. Disguised Stolas. A message at the bar together. Wish they were there. Loona not wanting to party with the 'oldies. Just having fun.

Stare a bit longer at the phone until getting out of that text thread. Check the others. Sallie is almost similar to Millie besides a few links. Blitz took a bit longer, along with confusion. Loona nope not checking that one seeing an Ad. Open back the inventory to pull out the other phone. Turn it on seeing some text from Stolas, along with a similar picture of them being at the bar.

A thing IMP would try to do almost every Friday after work. Stolas would join in those times. Terrible disguises yet many thought just a normal owl. Would be at Bloody bar mostly.

It was fun. Glad they can have some fun. It's been rough for them as well.

Slowly lift themselves up. As their mind went back to those memories. Random one's going in and out. Either a stupid joke. How drunk the other would get. Even the time that stupid karaoke stunts they all did.

It was so damn stupid. Stupid fond memories.

Two days later.

"Moxxie! How was your waste of a week off without us?" Blitz smile big seeing Moxxie get in the van. Millie and Sallie got inside next.

"How may paper cuts did you get?"

"Miss your sass too. So, how was it?"

"Done."

"Done?"

"What the fuck does that mean fat-Hey!" Loona growls at Millie when she kicks her seat. Got a middle finger in return.

"Just done. I finished what I need to do."

"Where you go?"

"Just some boring legal junk to get rid of before it got infested."

"I said where."

"My personal business."

"Boooo! Your so boring!"

"I put that on my resume and keeping it."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Bye-bye bugs!

Bugs: 0

Space rocks: 2

Moxxie getting a new scar on their body. Don't worry, they're fine. ((Mox/Error: -_-))

Probably in the future I will re-write this chapter. Could have done better but was in a rush. Just have to see either here. Or whenever I rewrite the chapters in the future.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
