lilfluffIt was a feeling they all recognized from the war. In a second the marketplace became entirely too quiet for comfort as customers and merchants both began looking for cover. The professor spotted him first.
"Trantin behind us."
There was no mistaking what sort of alien they were dealing with. Long ears, fur, the lopping gait. For every human that had laughed at their resemblance to rabbits there was another who remembered that rabbits had claws for more than decoration. Stopping a few feet away the Trantin projected an image of the captain from a holo-crystal for a second, comparing it to the man in front of him.
"Romero Captain? Johnny Romero Captain?" The intonation was wrong even if the sounds were right.
Johnny stepped forward, "I am. May I have your name?"
The alien pocketed the holo-crystal and reached for his sword. Nearly all of them reached for their guns. Johnny simply stood there still watching the alien. The hand went past the hilt to loosen the ties that held the scabbard to the belt. Dropping to his knees as he held the sword up to the captain, speaking again in his own language.
"No. The war is over, no more blood."
The professor translated for the others, "He said he came to settle an honor debt."
Holding the sword up the alien spoke louder than before.
"I said no and I meant it! It's over, return to your family."
"My Lord! He says he's the one who shot at Johnny on Mars." He kept translating while the alien spoke on. "He says General Strom had him expelled from the military and his family disowned him."
Johnny took the sword and sighed, "Stand up, if you have no where else to go you can come with us."
