I started swimming around the back end of the Aroura, the massive boosters on the back we twice as big to... What ever this thing following me still is. What ever he is, he is also determined of getting my help, to the point he is following me around like a puppy dog. I still had to come up with a name for him, or her. Its not like I can tell. I never see alien lifeforms, I just well, repair equipment. I used to have a damn good partner too, Ryley Robinson. I missed that guy, I saw him hop into one of the life pods before the crash. I hope he's ok. But, just continuing swimming along. And hopefully I'll get by.

After a few minutes of swimming, I stopped moving to take a rest, I was never use to swimming for this long. I wondered how Ryley did, he loved to swim. If he is here, and alive, I bet he's having the time of his life. Unlike me, I didn't mind swimming, just as long as their was a bottom where I could stand on. I noticed though, the creature, I really need to give it a name, or something. It seemed to noticed my tiredness, and swam up closer to me. Its head was underneath me, and I realized how much bigger it was compared to me. He is massive, it managed to somehow get me onto the base of its neck, and soon enough I was riding it. It seems to have noticed I was tired, and this makes travel to much easier, after all it is some type of sea, alien lifeform, predator.

It didn't take long for us to reach a very lively ecosystem, almost like a large, colorful, great reef. With all sorts of fish swimming about. I got off of the predator I was currently sitting on, and I went towards the reef. Apparently, the creature I was with, tried following me, but he couldn't fit. He was too big for such a close surface biome. He was mostly made for going into deeper swallows, not these kinds of safe swallows. I went up, above the surface, and so did the creature. The metal like spear still stuck within its jaw, and face. "Your not going to leave me out of your sights are you?" I asked the creature, thinking its going to respond back. "Well... Its clear you can't fit in this whole biome.... I think your going to have to stick around the edges of it. So you don't become beaches, like a whale." I said. It just stared at me with it four, almost black alien eyes.

I was, apparently so concentrated on the creatures well being. I apparently didn't even notice the life pod, only a swim away. "I know you need help. But I can't I don't have anything to help you with." I sadly told the very determine creature. It only nudged its head to the left. Almost as if its trying to tell me something. I turned to look and I saw the life pod. "Ok, you leviathan, predator creature. You are a miracle." I told it, and swimming toward the pod. Of course it trued following me. Witch luck for it, it had just barely enough room to fit next to the pod. "I'll be right back." I told it, thinking its going to wait there. I doubt it. But hey, its a wild animal. Its just going to do, what an animal is going to do.

I entered the pod through the bottom, man did I miss the feeling of standing on something solid. And beside me was a fabricator, it just what I need. Well beside the pieces of a laser cutter. But where in this bloody ocean am I going to find a diamond. "Now I don't know if I can help him. I can't make a laser cutter without a diamond. And where am I going to find one of those?!" I said to myself out load, knowing nothing is going to ask about it. I'm surrounded by nothing but water, alien life, and a ship that isn't really a ship. And life pods that probably already sunk to the floor of this ocean.

I sat down in one of the builders chairs, placing my elbows on my legs, while my hands held my head up, facing the pods floor. I always had a feeling that when I really want to do something nice, or just for fun. Something always go wrong, and their is nothing I can do about it. This, this is one of those times. I just sat there for a few good minutes think how I can't do anything to help that creature outside. I can't remove the metal on my own. Its plunged to deeply into the creatures face. And I could of sworn I was it bleed a yellowish substance, must be what its blood looks like. But, still their really isn't anything I can do. Again.

I was so deep in my thoughts I didn't even noticed the noises outside. Until I herd a familiar, ear splitting roar, I had a feeling that the creature following me got into some sort of trouble. I quickly jumped down the life pods hatch, and saw that it was gone. But, yet the road was close by. Maybe it just swam out to deeper waters. I quickly swam to the deeper waters, hearing the road louder this time. And soon enough, a large bright orange horn, and four pincers on its head, and a male shift metal spear logged in its face. It was swimming fast at me, but instead of hitting me, it went pass me, and... His its large head behind me. Like it was scared, I noticed a few little new cuts on his face. Near the long piece of metal, he seemed to be bleeding a bit. But why would such a large, alien apex predator be scared of?

I gently rubbed my hand on its large, orange horn, and placed my other free hand on the right side of its face, where their were less scars littering its face. For a giant, serpent like apex predator, it sure is calm and gentle. Even though earlier it was an absolute reaper. Destroying anything it could get its pincers on. I rubbed its horn gently, and I herd anothers voice. "Hey! Get away from that leviathan!!" It said, I quickly turned my body around, and I saw the unbelievable.

"Ryley?" "Y/n!?" It was him. He did live. He swam toward me, and pulled me away from the supposedly  leviathan. "Ryley?! What are you doing?!" "Getting you away from this Reaper. It could of eaten you in a heart beat!" Ryley said. "What are you talking about?" I said, getting out of his grasp, swimming over back to what I finally think is called a Reaper. Its a good enough name, better than it, and creature. I swam up to the Reaper, and rubbed his horn gently. "I don't know what you experienced with these creatures, but I promised this one to help remove the metal logged into its face, if you haven't noticed the poor thing is in more pain than you think." I told Ryley, I pulled his arm toward Reaper, he was slightly shaking, being up so close to one it seems. He must have seen them far off, but maybe not up close like this.

I gently grabbed Ryley's hand, and slowly pulled it towards Readers horn. He recoiled his hand back, but I still kept his grip on his arm. Reaper how ever, tried taking a small nip at his hand, before allowing me to place Ryley's hand on his horn. "See? Reaper isn't so bad now is he?" I told Ryley, "Wait, its a he? And you named it Reaper even though that's what its species is called?" Ryley asked me, "Ok look, I may have not grabbed a PDA in time, and I really didn't have anything in my pod, witch is down at the bottom of this ocean. And no, I had no idea Reaper, was the name of its species, I just being calling it an it, or creature. Besides, I think Reaper suits him just fine." I said, crossing my arms at Ryley. He only rolled his eye, forgetting his fear of the giant leviathan infront of him. "Man, am I lucky you survived and found me, rather than so random passenger, or other worker." Ryley said, "Oh it wasn't me who found you, it was Reaper that found you." I told him, Ryley on looked at the leviathan. "So you said something about a diamond earlier?" He asked, "You herd that? Yeah... I need a laser cutter in order to get this metal out of Reapers face. I promised him so, and ever since then has hasn't stopped following me." "Ok, then, good excuse I guess. But I know a place where we can find some, but I kinda had to cut it short due to a few..  Unwanted guest... You'll see when we get there." He said, "I just don't know how to get there fast enough though." "I think I know how we can get there." I said, looking at Reaper. "Wait.... Your not thinking, what I think your thinking are you?" I stayed silent, "Oh god.... Your thinking about riding on a Reaper?!" He asked loudly, "I've done it once, I can do it again, my friend." I told him.
