The boy’s feet touched down on the planet.

The red-and-blue ensemble was something he’d picked up from the Majesdanes. Come to find out, they transmuted light into energy -- hence the name, [i]Light Brigade[/i]. As a result, their clothes were apparently really good at conducting radiation. That was helpful, because the ambient energy that Billy produced could totally [b]cook[/b] regular clothes.

Suffice to say, he didn’t have [i]any[/i] of his clothes from Earth anymore.

At least the Majesdanes and Galadorians were close to human. Trying to fit into clothes designed for [b]horse-people[/b] was a total non-starter. They liked their clothing loose and baggy on themselves. Put those clothes on a Billy with a fraction of the frame and it was like wearing a tent.

He’d been flying for [b]miles[/b]. He’d spanned at least a quarter of the planet. Flown over what seemed like ghost towns, or cities that had been reduced to rubble. Then, he’d finally seen people.

But to say that something was wrong would have been an understatement.

The boy was walking between a row of people all shackled in chains. They were moving rocks from a quarry toward where a monolith was being erected. At the center of the spectacle was a large statue that was beginning to take shape.

At the sight of the strange, red-blue figure walking without chains, the people began to shrink away from the dark haired child. 

All things being equal, he’d just assume the [b]big guy[/b] holding the pole-ax was the dude in charge.

The gray skinned figure turned, an arm outstretched as he bellowed, “I am [b]TERRAX[/b].”

Was Billy supposed to know what a Terrax was? Because he didn’t even know what a Tolmeria was until about five days ago. [color=#00bfff]“That doesn’t explain why you’re not wearing pants,”[/color] the boy remarked, without so much as missing a beat.

The man lifted up the pole-ax, holding it aloft as though it were a royal scepter. “I have come to tame this world,” the alien declared, before extending the head of the pole-ax out toward the boy. “Bow before me, that I might show mercy.”

The kid from Fawcett City just gave a shrug and a shake of his head. [color=#00bfff]“No can do, Pops,”[/color] the boy answered in a matter-of-fact voice.

[color=#00bfff] “Not going to lie. It’s the pants thing.”[/color]
