A/N: I am going to include a few extra things in this story in order to expand the universe a bit. For example, I will include an alien species called Normans who are indistinguishable from humans by appearance. I'm also going to include this organization called the Galactic Union. You know, the typical "trying to bring order to the galaxy" Kind of thing. Anyway, more worlds and species will be in this story as. Hope you all enjoy it.

Y/N POV

After escaping the G3 Cartel's invasion of Earth, me and Yuri change into different clothes since our last ones were covered in blood and debris. After that, we decided to go find Gene. I would've preferred Yuri to stay in the house, but I don't feel comfortable leaving her along with the Merk corpse.

Kenny: Alright, you guys ready?

Y/N: Yep.

Yuri: Are we really going into space

She said as Y/N opens the door.

Kenny: Yeah! Welcome to freaking space!

He says as they walk out and see the alien structures and people in their surroundings.

Kenny: So, this is Blim City. N-not bad, huh? To be honest, I don't know to find Gene here. Let's just ask around. There are all kinds of aliens living here, let's just ask. He is famous. BTW, there is a race that looks exactly like you Humans. They're called Normans, A lot of people aren't fond of them, but they do somewhat respect them, so just go with that.

Me, Kenny, and Yuri decided to look around the plaza to ask for Gene. I was asking them if they knew about him while Yuri asked others herself, but she made sure to stay close to me. Me and Kenny first started with a yellow alien in a T-shirt.

Kenny: Hey we're looking for Gene Zaroothian, the bounty hunter. Any Idea where he might be?

Alien: Who? Hell no! Do you know how many freakin' people live here? And you expect me to know this... this guy?

Y/N: Gene Zaroothian.

Alien: Whatever! Just beat it! Yeesh, frickin' Norman.

Kenny: Okay, so not everyone's going to be helpful

I then see Yuri talking to a pink alien with an elongated head.

Yuri: Excuse me, sir.

Alien 1: How can I help you?

Yuri: Do you know where we can find... that guy?

She says as she points to a billboard of Gene.

Alien 1: No, but I did see him last week. Guy went crazy with hooch and got banned from a bar.

Yuri: O-okay. Thank you.

Alien 1: You're welcome. (Sigh), what a nice Norman.

He said as Yuri walks away from him.

I then turned and ask a purple alien with antennae about Gene.

Y/N: Excuse me, we're looking for Gene Zaroothian, the famous bounty hunter. Do you know where he is?

Alien 2: Oh I wish I knew where he was. He owes me 300 Pesos. Wait, why's a Norman like you asking for him? Oh, I get it, he's screwed you out of your money too. Well, Normans first. Take your time with him, hehe.

He said before walking away from me.

Y/N: So Gene's in debt.

Kenny: That definitely doesn't sound like him.

Me and Kenny then met an alien cyborg that looked like an anthropomorphic wolf and ask him.

Kenny: Hey, excuse me. Does the bounty hunter Gene Zaroothian live around here?

Cyborg Wolf: "Bounty Hunter" Gene Zaroothian? Hahaha! Oh, kid, you're in for a big surprise.

He said as he walked away while still laughing.

Kenny: Wait, what did you mean by that?

Y/N thought: I've got a bad feeling about this guy now.

Kenny: You know what, just ignore him. Wolvoids don't like anybody but themselves.

Yuri then meets another Wolvoid and asks him about Gene.

Yuri: Excuse me, sir.

Wolvoid: What do you want Norman?

Yuri: I'm just asking if you know where to find the bounty hunter Gene Zaroothian.

She says pointing to the same billboard from before. The Wolvoid crouched down to point her in a direction.

Wolvoid: Hey kid, you see that sad, pathetic wreck laying on a bench.

He says pointing at a purple alien laying down on the bench he's referring to.

Yuri: Yeah.

Wolvoid: That's him.

He says patting Yuri before walking away.

Yuri then walks to the guy laying on the bench. Meanwhile, I was asking another alien about Gene.

Y/N: Hey, do you know where we can find the bounty hunter Gene Zaroothian?

Alien 3: Oh yeah, I saw him sleeping on a bench nearby. I just walked passed him earlier. He had a lot of stuff with him too. Glad I could be helpful.

I then walked away with Kenny before pulling him up to my face and asking him about what we learned.

Y/N: So, the legendary Gene Zaroothian is in debt, became an alcoholic, and is homeless.

Kenny: That can't be it. You know I wouldn't be surprised if he was just taking a quick outdoor nap in between big bounty-hunting gigs. I'm sure he's just away from his big bounty-hunting office for a moment. You know, a big building with bounty-hunting things in it.

Yuri: Hey, big bro, over here.

I then turn to see Yuri waving for me to come to her.

I walked over to where she was and saw a three-eyed purple alien next to her. He was overweight, missing his legs, and was laying on a bench with belongings scattered around him. He then gets up and looks at us.

Y/N: Excuse me?

???: Get away, don't take my shit!

The three of us are trying to process what is happening.

Kenny: Oh my god... it can't be.

???: What do you want?

Kenny: You're not... the famous bounty hunter Gene Zaroothian are you?

Gene: Who's asking?

Y/N: Oh my God. You're really Gene, aren't ya?

Gene: Yeah, I'm really Gene. That's me. Like on the ads.

He says pointing to the billboard of him.

Gene: Disappointed? Guess how I feel.

Yuri: Uhhh... We wanted to ask if you can help us fight the G3 Cartel.

Gene: Kid, do I look like I can help anyone? I just got evicted, I don't even have a goddam home!

Y/N: I don't suppose you still have contacts with the Galactic Union do ya?

Gene: Not anymore, since I got caught wasted next to a councilman's daughter.

We were now in disbelief at what we found.

Kenny: Can you point us in the direction of another bounty-hunting friend that's still working? You know... still has their legs.

Gene: Ho, ho ho ho! Look at that nice house! Goddamn, where'd it come from? That's a great fuckin' house! You see that house?

He says seeing our house behind us.

Yuri: Uh. Yeah, that's our house over there.

Gene: Goddamn. I can't stop looking at that beautiful house. Okay! The gears are turning, maybe I can help you.

Kenny: You can? But you just said-

Gene: Y-yeah, yeah, yeah. I said I'd help you fight the... who, who'd you say? The G3 Cartel? Oh come on that's crazy but... okay well whatever, whatever. Yeah, sure. We'll kill 'em all. Easy.

Y/N: And, how do we do that?

Gene: Well kid, I have a fully operational bounty suit in my cart over there.

He says pointing to the cart on his left.

Kenny: Really? Well, that's convenient.

Gene: Yeah, I can turn that male Norman of yours into a true blue bounty hunter! But-

He looks at Yuri before looking back at me and Kenny.

Gene: ... I want the house. That's the trade.

Y/N: That's what you want in return?

Gene: Yeah! It's a great deal for you! I mean, you get all my old bounty hunter shit and I might get a house.

Yuri then gives her opinion on what she thinks.

Yuri: Well... We kind of need to save everybody we know and love, and I don't feel good about leaving him on this bench. Sooooooo, I think we should accept it.

I take a good look around Gene before answering.

Y/N: Well, I guess we're on our own right now. And you do look like you could use a roof over your head. So... What the hell let's just do it.

Gene practically throws his arms in the air in relief.

Gene: Wahooo! You Normans are the best. Alright kid, put on the bounty suit.

I grab the suit and look to see a place I could change into it.

Gene: Don't worry kid, you don't have to take your clothes off. Just put the suit on all over ya.

Y/N: Okay.

I put the bounty suit on me and a two-way visor forms around my head.

Gene: Wow! You look great, kid. I can already tell you're going to be a natural at this.

S/N: You look like a superhero from one of my favorite manga!

Kenny: Alright, I guess we'll give it a shot. But I don't know about this...

The Heads-Up Display in my visor displays an alert saying "Activation Key Not Found".

Gene: Ah, yeah, shit. It's still in trial mode. I pawned off the activation license. the ticket should be in one of your pockets. Some loose change too. Should be enough. Take that down to Mr. Keep's pawn Shop and he'll get ya set up. He's just up there.

Gene says pointing to the top of a stairway.

Gene: I'll get things set up at your house while you three are gone. Oh yeah, the suit's going to display pop-ups until you activate the license. Just say decline to make them go away until you do.

Yuri: Okay see ya.

The three of us head to the pawn shop while I keep saying decline to all sorts of weird and questionable pop-ups just so I can see where I'm going. We then arrive at a story called Mr. Keeps and Son's.

Y/N: Decline, decline, decline. Oh, here we are.

We walk and see two purple aliens in onesies: an overweight, balding one on a hover chair, and a small one on his phone.

???: What's up freaks?

???: Jorb! Greet the customers properly.

Jorb: Welcome to Mr. Keep's dipshits. We're your friendly neighborhood pawn shop. Buy somethin' or don't. Nobody even cares.

Me and Yuri give an incredulous look at him before turning to the overweight alien.

???: Jorb!!! I'm so sorry. Jorb is insane. Come on up to the counter, let me help you out.

Y/N: Are you Mr. Keeps?

Mr. Keeps: That I am my boy.

We go to the counter and I search the bounty suit's pockets for the ticket until I feel it. I pull it out, show it to Mr. Keeps, and put it on the counter. The pop-ups are getting really annoying! I'm not saying decline because it will cause confusion with this deal.

Mr. Keeps: Oh, so old Zaroothian doesn't feel like pawning his license key anymore? What, did he win the sweepstakes? Ha! Okay, so you want this license key? But... it's really nice. I kind of want it for myself.

Jorb: You've got enough useless shit, Dad!

Mr. Keeps: Fine! Take it! It's yours!

He gives me the activation key, and I insert it into a slot in my suit. The HUD says that it's activated and the pop-ups disappear. It then displays the stuff you find in literally every FPS game.

Kenny: Whoa, not bad! It's got your vital readings, armor levels, and even my biometrics. Gene really went all out didn't he? I told ya he'd be great.

Mr. Keeps: Perfect, just what this galaxy needs, another good-for-nothing bounty hunter! Outta my store! But do feel free to come back. Have a good day.

We talk out of the store and begin heading home.

Kenny: Alright "Bounty Hunter". I guess let's head back to the house and check in with Gene.

We walk down the street and back into the plaza where we saw our house. We walked toward it and saw five little aliens walking out of the house.

Yuri: Woah! Where'd they come from? Uhhhhh, what did we miss?

She said looking at a trail of blood stretching from inside the house to outside.

We walk in and see that the body disappeared and hear music. We go into the living room and see Gene on the couch watching some kind of channel that is showing weird... moving... tentacles. They were making me really uncomfortable. Luckily he noticed us and turned it off.

Gene: Hey, nice house you Normans got here. Real ritzy. Way better than my bench.

Kenny: Oh, wow, you really made yourself at home, huh?

Yuri: Well, Gene. Welcome to our home. The first things first. Since we have a deal, let me tell you some things.

Gene: Alright, shoot.

Yuri: First, my name is Yuri Yagami, and he's Y/N Hypernova, my big brother. And second, we Humans, not Normans.

Y/N & Kenny: Yuri!!!

Gene: I don't really care what kind of alien you two are. But it'd probably be best to just pass yourselves off as Normans.

Y/N: Yeah, we figured.

Yuri: Let me get my camera! I want to commemorate this!

She says before running to her room.

Gene: Hey... Y/N, was it? I need to tell you something.

Y/N: It's about our deal isn't it?

Gene: Yeah. I just didn't want to say it in front of her. If you die, I officially get the house.

I clench my fist in anger from having my thoughts about it confirmed. But with Gene unable to walk and me being unsure to get another bounty hunter, I don't see a better alternative.

Y/N: (Sigh). Fine, a deal's a deal. But, if anything happens to me, you better make sure my sister is safe.

I said aiming Kenny at him.

Gene: Trust me, kid, in this galaxy, she'd be better off living as a Norman for the rest of her life. So if you do die, I'll send her on the next flight Norma where she'll be safe.

Y/N: Okay. We have a deal.

Gene: Yep, you get my gear to fight the G3, I get the house if you die, and send your sister to Norma for safety.

We then see Yuri come into the living room with her camera smiling.

Yuri: Alright guys. Let's take a pic. To our new life in outer space.

She turns and takes a picture with me, Kenny, and her smiling, while Gene is giving the finger. Not that we mind.

A/N: I didn't add Suit-O because I would like to emphasize how everyone except Y/N and S/N outright hate Gene. I think it would be funny if even his old AI system despised him. Thank you all for reading. There's more to come.
