Standos

    As Armaninx and crew flew through space, RoboRabbit and Green Wart Hog played Anipoke.  They were in the middle of a battle when the ship went into red alert.  They manned the turrets as a giant odd-shaped ship came into view.  It was shaped like a person who was wearing a scarf.
    “Hey Bill,” asked the ship, “do you like my new scarf?”  There was a pause, and then RoboRabbit shot his turret, which made a pew noise.  The enemy shot back, making a fwadoobidoobidoo noise.  They kept on shooting each other, then the enemy ship blew up.  It was chunky.
    So Armaninx and his ship flew on to his nearby planet.  They soon made it to his planet, Standos.  They landed and rested there for a while, then suddenly another ship flew up and landed nearby.  Its door opened as the smoke and dust cleared, and out of it stepped the most beautiful creature any of the three of them had ever seen* (this having nothing to do with the fact that they had only seen one female creature before).  She was a striped possum, wielding her rubber band of doom in one of her hands.  Her hair was dramatically flowing in the wind as she walked up to them.
    “I've been searching for you for a long time, RoboRabbit, in order to help you in your quest.  I know your power, but none of you know mine.  Thus, I think you will allow me to aid you on your journey,” said the striped possum.
    “And what may we call you?” asked Green Wart Hog.  As he asked this question I realized that I actually had no idea what her name would be.  So, I decided to figure out a good name and tell you in a later chapter.  It makes a pretty good cliffhanger, I guess.

    The four walked along as Green Wart Hog played some dramatic music (Standos had no musicians in the sky).  Then they came upon a city.  The buildings were built out of the ground.  RoboRabbit was missing his home planet, so he practiced his aim on a large sign.  The entire town was already trashed.  Some places were even on fire.  Many buildings were wrecked, and it was completely silent.  They walked along and found a mound of dead bodies that looked like Armaninx.  At the top was a very small body, which RoboRabbit assumed was an infant.  There was a glowing spear-like weapon sticking out of its body.
    “How could they commit such an atrocity?  We must destroy them before they destroy my entire species,” said Armaninx.  So they traveled onward and eventually found one big building.  Armaninx said it had been the capital building.  They heard some noise from inside, so they ventured into the dark building.  They sneaked their way into the main building.  There they saw the second least expected thing, cats.  Standos had been invaded by cats.
    “We have searched the entire planet, there are no survivors,” said one.
    “Good, now we can move on to the next planet,” said another, who appeared to be in charge.
    “They have destroyed my people?” said Armaninx.  “For this they will pay.”
    So they all dropped down into the crowd of felines and battled quite epically.  They were all expert fighters, so they owned the cats' faces.  Amid the fight, the striped possum disappeared somewhere.  She later reappeared behind the cat leader and put her rubber band around his neck, ending the fight quickly and easily.  So, Armaninx was now the last of his race and they killed all the cat invaders on his home planet.  Then they piled in his spaceship and flew back to the planet they came from, with the exception of the striped possum, who had come from somewhere else but was still going with them.
