Protect your new friend

Better together than Alone

Clutching the armor pieces, the lizard slips into the pipe and enters the large, blue, electric room the centipede was in. It falls down from the ladder, slamming into the floor with a THUD, and startling the eel.

[ Keeping pieces? ] The eel remarks, noticing the armor shards from the red centipede in the lizard's arms. [ Why? Not edible. ]

[ Pieces protect prey. ] The lizard stood up, as they both walked on. [ Can protect you. ]

[ Short one not making sense. ]

[ Will show you soon. ]

The two continued on through the facility, with little to no serious conflict. The occasional creature here and there, perilous jumps and poles all over, but nothing too serious for a couple of large reptiles.

The lizard bit onto the spike of the Centipede's armor, peeling it off from the bug's flesh. Reacting to the sudden pain, the Centipede flinched, and began to contort wildly, pulling the two reptiles closer together.

The eel began to panic- "Closer! Tighter! Help!!" It begged, staggering and bouncing in an attempt to shuffle away.

The lizard, however, was struggling, itself, sliding forward- Closer and closer to the other end of the centipede, as the insect began to hiss.

Instinct took over- When met with a foe, even as the Eel pressed forwards, the lizard turned tail and retreated back through the pipe.

It pulled itself free of the gayeway, and took a deep breath, clutching its hand to its heavy-beating chest. It was at that moment that the lizard looked down at the glove it had gotten from the Eel not moments ago.

A strange feeling stirred. [ Traded this for knowledge. Then abandoned friend... ] It pondered, the feeling forming a chain arounds its throat. [ Why did... ]

Then was when a strange noise came from behind it- The rhythmic blipping of something in the pipes. The lizard turned to face the entrance, ready-

And out from the pipe burst a mass of two creatures. [ HELP! ] Begged the Eel. The Centipede had gotten a hold of it, and was wrapped around the lizard. [ HELP! ] It plead.

[ HELP!! ]
