FlyingGrass:
This is my series featuring a team of spaceships and their pilots, in their journey to put an end to any mishaps that arise across the galaxy. It's based on Spore adventures I had made back in 2015, which I continue working on to this day. I've got a lot planned for this series, although it's taking me a year or two just to write one episode, I don't believe I'll ever abandon it.

The name has underwent some changes, previously "Legends Within The Universe" suggested by Ellen11v, who also created Daxter Wilde! :D

Episode 1 "The fateful meeting"
Daxter flew to the newly discovered planet, it was all green with vines and plants and it looked like it would support creatures living there, and as Daxter approached the planet to land he spotted creatures living among the plant life. When they landed Anvindr was suddenly tangled in the vines, the planet was not meant to be inhabited by something as big as a spaceship. The rest of the team could be heard arriving, but Daxter couldn't see the source of the sound. Everyone had landed a small distance away from Daxter and Anvindr as the planet had rotated slightly. Daxter disembarked his spaceship and tried to pull the vines off of Anvindr, but it was no use. "What if I disassemble you?" Daxter was just in the middle saying when Ronmin and Luhuklag arrived and clipped the vines. Daxter was amazed at the spaceships capabilities. "You guys were meant to help each other!" Daxter exclaimed in amazement, then Luhuklag walked up to Daxter. "Be careful where you land, your spaceship can warn you of danger but she can't stop you from landing her. It's up to you to use your power of judgement to decide whether to land or not." Luhuklag warned Daxter.

Later that evening, everyone set off exploring.

Ernesto was sure someone would need rescuing, when suddenly he flew through a cloud of smoke. Gerolt's engines were producing alot of thick smoke until he broke down in the middle of space, oops, Ernesto towed Gerolt back home and alerted the repair crew that they were going to have a patient.

All of a sudden, Daxter decided he'd test his spaceship's capabilities by doing various tricks including barrel rolls and swerving around, Anvindr didn't mind. "Careful not to wear out your spaceship before we find a planet to save!" Luhuklag warned Daxter and he stopped performing tricks for the moment.

Soon after all that happened, they got a signal from an unknown planet saying there was a sinkhole putting an unknown planet's citizens in a panic.
 
The team tracked the coordinates the signal came from and soon they reached a rather barren planet where there was a growing black dot. Ronmin detected a dangerous entity on the planet, and they flew up to the sinkhole for a closer look, suddenly a cloud of dust flew towards Ronmin and he just managed to dodge, the dust instead landing on Anvindr and covering her windows. Anvindr coughed as the dust got on her cooling fan. Daxter landed Anvindr a safe distance away from the sinkhole and disembarked to sweep the dust off of the cooling fan, then the man heard crumbling and watched as the sinkhole swallowed a house while the creatures exit the falling building and flee to safety. "There are no injuries from what I can see, but if we're not careful then there will be a victim of the sinkhole. Try not to slip, even where you're standing, we don't know how big this pit will get." Daxter told Luhuklag, the cyborg reptile backing up when she heard that. Anvindr, now free of dust, kept an eye on the sinkhole(Now that she could see, since her camera eyes are mounted in the cockpit behind windshield), while Luhuklag suspected with unease that it was the whole planet which Ronmin was detecting as dangerous.

The team had to get rid of the sinkhole and escort the citizens to safety, the massive pit could swallow the whole planet if it is not gotten rid of. Luhuklag landed Ronmin on top of the sinkhole so that he could fill it with the dirt the planet had just spewed out, Ronmin didn't look down at the seemingly bottomless pit below him, but he still wasn't sure about this parking spot. "There certainly are better places to land than this" Ronmin remarked, then tried to use one arm to try and sweep the dirt into the hole, and used his other crab-like pincer to keep himself from falling.

Then, Daxter ran to Anvindr and stood on her nose while he escorted the citizens to safety. "The spaceship is operating itself!" One of the citizens exclaimed in amazement, while Anvindr was puzzled by the citizen's new discovery. "And the spaceship that brought them here couldn't do that?" Anvindr thought to herself but could hardly hear her thoughts as her police siren blared, and the last few citizens were escaping.



Ronmin's rear landing gear suddenly slipped into the sinkhole, the sudden shock of falling causing him to instinctively boost upwards and straight out of that ever-growing sinkhole that was still engulfing the town, the blue spaceship landed somewhere else on his own while Luhuklag spoke with Daxter about what to do.

The two soon decided on something and Daxter climbed into the cabin of his spaceship. "What are we doing?" Anvindr asked as she rose. "Going to push the dirt back." Daxter briefed. "Readying weapons." Stated the brown spaceship. "Halt, no weapons, just my mid-air acrobatics." Stated Wilde.

As Daxter stooped low to the ground, Anvindr's hull nearly brushed with the dirt, one of her pontoon-like landing gear knocked dirt into the sinkhole, then Daxter pulled up on the steering wheel to point his ship upward and got away. As they landed, the alien planet decided it was too full of dirt.


Now that the sinkhole was filled, the planet gave a loud rumble, throwing everyone off balance and forcing the spaceships to hover slightly above the land. And then the planet settled, now doing nothing more than rotating around its sun. "All in a days work yet again." Daxter proudly declared after the planet stopped rumbling, while the citizens cheered at the removal of the sinkhole. Luhuklag walked over to Ronmin to make sure the ship wasn't damaged by slipping, there was no damage to any of the ships, then she climbed aboard and set off back to the home planet for a much-needed nap.

After assisting during the rescue, back at home base on the newly named Planet Edi, Daxter needed to rest, and so did Luhuklag, . Luhuklag noticed that all the spaceships were unresponsive and completely motionless, so she suspected they must be sleeping before quietly sneaking up beside Ronmin and falling asleep next to him. All was completely silent as the spaceships don't snore. Soon everyone on Planet Edi was sound asleep, while the next day crept closer with a slight buzz coming from outside the buildings?
Episode 3 "Hungry space, and honey"
In a clearing on a planet of heavy forest, landed Ronmin, whos pilot stepped out soon after landing in search of a magical vine covered in thorns and daisies that grew on that planet. The trees resembled a jungle but everything else looked just like a forest, in Summer, and Summer is what the temperature felt like once Luhuklag set foot onto the grass. The rest of the team wasn't tagging along. Luhuklag had heard about a Ridor Ship crash here which had let out beasts and lead to the formation of mechanical monsters.

She took a few steps away, and heard a faint rattling behind her, she quickly turned around with a look of disbelief and found that it was just Ronmin, who replied "Sorry if I scared you, something about this place just makes me nervous.". Luhuklag found that funny, he doesn't know about the planet's accident since she didn't want to make him afraid to land.

Off went Luhuklag into the forest, brushing away leaves from the layer of bushes, uneventful so far other than the odd alien spiderweb she'd pass by every now and then, when suddenly she came upon a chunk of metal just laying there, her immediate thoughts were worries about Ronmin, but she pushed that thought away and checked further... Upon closer inspection, the chunk of metal just couldn't be from Ronmin, she was relieved, and put the metal down before setting off again.

Suddenly, she heard a rustle in a nearby bush, but she continued walking, even though she felt as though she's being watched, and she could have sworn she saw a yellow glow somewhere in the bushes, she kept on walking and soon heard the rustling suddenly moving away from her quickly until the rustling was too far away to hear. She eventually came upon the vines covered in daisies and thorns, and took one, then set off back home, but she had barely taken a few steps homeward before she heard beeping echo through the forest, something had set off Ronmin's alarm, Luhuklag broke into a sprint down the forest which now lacked the tweets of birds, and now lacked any rustling, and when she got there she saw something bolt into the bushes and there was rustling again for a brief moment until it had moved out of earshot, Ronmin's alarm had automatically stopped too. Ronmin explained the situation, "Welcome back, captain. I had just seen some sort of beast that had blue scaly skin, one side of its head was skull, a few legs were skeleton, and it had some other mutations, as well as a few spots where there's been damage. With a bad limp, it walked around me like it was sizing up a target, and then it tried to tamper with me, which set off the alarm, that stopped it but it only ran off when you came. If it finds you menacing, why isn't it scared of a spaceship that's larger than you are?"

"Maybe it isn't after me." Luhuklag replied, then inspected her ship for any damage, there was no damage, but the creature had apparently activated the emergency halt function which had just locked, Ronmin couldn't fly until Ernesto repaired the emergency halt. For now, they had to wait, Luhuklag briefed the situation to herself while she boarded Ronmin for the radio, "So we sighted a strange creature, it trapped us on this planet, and we can't get off until I call for--" and that's when the sound of multiple trees being knocked over at the same time echoed throughout the forest, as she stepped back off of Ronmin's arm and crept closer to the noise, and a familiar speck of brown could be seen. Anvindr had flown through the woods, and Daxter could be heard stepping out saying "I'm sorry, Anvindr, but if I don't find a clearing that isn't occupied then I'll make my own clearing.", and Anvindr assured Daxter that she's fine and perfectly capable of knocking trees down, then Luhuklag ran up to them. "Hello! How did you find us?" Luhuklag asked her teammate, and both got sidetracked counting the rings on one of the felled trees before the reply came, "I detected your radio transmission calling for Ernesto, and I happened to be close by, so I couldn't shake the worry until I went to check on you." Daxter replied. Luhuklag explained what had happened, about the encounter with a strange creature, when suddenly she was interrupted by something flying in from nowhere over Daxter's head and then a loud metallic clang, Daxter still ducked out of instinct, but either the creature aimed wrongly or it wasn't wanting him, as it whooshed right above his standing height. Luhuklag stumbled backward, and when her vision steadied she caught a brief glance at the fleeing creature, it had no wings to perform such a feat with so it must have pounced powerfully, then she looked at Anvindr who had her jaw slightly open in bewilderment. "That thing, that's what messed with Ronmin." Luhuklag stated, as she brushed off her foot. "Are only the spaceships in danger? Or is it going to get us once it gets rid of our method of escape?" Daxter asked, scratching his head, then Luhuklag responded "We don't know how intelligent it is.".

"Anvindr, can you still fly?" Asked her pilot, "Yes, I am completely fine." Anvindr responded, then Daxter added "If you're expecting her to tow Ronmin, she certainly has the endurance to do so, but she wasn't built with a towline, and installing a towline is something Ernesto would handle.". "Hmm... Do we know anything about the creatures released by the Ridor spaceship crash?" Luhuklag asked, "Only the most invincible one, the Shagowylocus, but we don't know if the creature that attacked is it or a part of the local wildlife, or if we're even remotely close to the wreckage." came Daxter's reply.

"You're a good scout, set out in Anvindr and scout the place. I'll come with you if you want." Luhuklag proposed a plan, and Daxter nodded then set off, while she went to hop aboard Ronmin to wait for the radio signal, it wasn't much of a wait before Daxter radioed that he saw the wreckage close to the clearing in which she had landed her ship, "Oh dear." She replied upon hearing that news, then Daxter landed his ship back in the clearing he had set her in before. "I caught a better glimpse of the creature from afar... It's that thing, the thing from the Ridor ship. You told me that you intercepted a Ridor distress signal on the way to the planet, right?" Daxter explained, and Luhuklag nodded, then he continued "I caught it too, undoubtedly later than you, but it detailed a dangerous creature onboard that was engineered to be invincible, it's called the Shagowylocus, and it was created for use in intergalactic warefare where it would be sent out to space to cripple enemy spaceships." And as crazy as Luhuklag thought the story was as she listened, she figured that the events where Ronmin and Anvindr encountered the creature make sense now. "The creature, the Shagowylocus, was following orders? Are we enemies of the Ridor? I didn't hear nearly enough of the distress signal, all I heard was 'Mayday!' and then the trees blocked the signal, the Ridor ship must be weak if it's even survived." Said Luhuklag. "Did the Ridor ship even have a conscience?" Daxter wondered out loud as he looked around the planet.

"We need to get off this planet right away, while I was scouting Anvindr told me she could hear Ernesto's engine in the distance, help is near." Daxter stated, adamant that they get away from the danger, something is lurking and from what he knows about the creature, it isn't good at all.

"No." Luhuklag stamped her foot. "What chance do we stand against the creature?!" Daxter exclaimed, fearful for the first time in what seemed like ages. "We're heroes, we'll save the planet somehow. After Ernesto un-jams Ronmin's emergency stop, we shall look for the creature and capture it." Luhuklag briefed. Then Ernesto arrived, and couldn't land. "I would have been here sooner, had the radio not acted up!" Sir Inventor yelled from the cockpit of the green ship, "I keep telling you, my radio is fine, you held me back from this mission for too long with just worries about the radio." Ernesto responded to his pilot. "Did you catch the same Ridor distress signal we did?" Luhuklag radioed Ern, "Yes we did, a distress signal from the Ridor." Came the reply over the radio, soon followed by a panel being heard slamming shut and Sir Inventor in the background exclaiming "The radio does work?!".

"Knock down trees!" Daxter called up to the medic ship, who then did just that, knocking down a tree so that he could land, then there was an inhuman screech coming from the fallen tree and he hovered backward a little, there was some creature with blue scales struggling to try to get free from the fallen tree. "I didn't notice that there." Ernesto said. Anvindr zoomed her vision in on the creature, and noticed a speck where the felled tree had damaged it, "That's the Shagowylocus, isn't it supposed to be invincible?" She remarked, and that had Daxter wondering, while Luhuklag chimed in "Maybe the Ridor Ship crash had weakened it? It was meant to survive self-defense protocols of the ships it attacks, but a spaceship crash may have been a little too much for the mutant.". Ernesto landed where he had cleared space for himself, and began un-jamming Ronmin's emergency stop, it took just a few seconds and then Daxter boarded his ship, Luhuklag was already on board her ship, and Sir Inventor was also still aboard Ernesto. They grabbed hold of the creature, ensuring that it couldn't move to cause any damage, and Anvindr scanned it. "The damage the tree had done is worse than first assumed..." The scout ship said, then the creature showed signs of slowing down in its struggles as if it was getting weaker.

As the spaceships found themselves needing less and less force to hold the Shagowylocus still through its struggles, Sir Inventor chimed in "I believe that creature is expiring.", Ernesto was shocked, he's a medic for spaceships but it was hard to hear that he'd killed a lifeform, though nobody was angry at the medic ship. The Shagowylocus had gotten too weak to struggle, and Ernesto gently petted the creature with one of his four arms, trying to comfort the creature in its last moments. "Let's go back home, there's nothing we can do to help the creature." Luhuklag went, and then they all flew off, Ernesto being slow to pick up off of the planet's surface, he cast one last glance at the creature, now dead, as he finally rose to join the other spaceships flying homeward.

Ellen11v:
I read the whole story, and I can't wait 'til part 2 comes out!
I find it very interesting that the Spaceships can bleed, feel, and so on. I wonder what they look like!
I wonder what the newly discovered planet, and the upcoming planets will look like. :)

I will look forward to the next episode!

FlyingGrass:
This post marks the time part two was wrote.

I too am fascinated by living technology, it's part of how I invented my mechanical cat. :)

I still have the Spore adventures that this story was based on although they are all unfinished.
If you want, I can finish the Spore adventures and send the file to you, it's not too hard to do although it might take at least a few days(But I can't provide accurate estimations of how long it'll take me to do things).

VortexAlive:
This was very nice and interesting to read! Hard for me to imagine a spaceship with arms but it all sounds pretty cool so far. :D

Illustrations could help when trying to get an idea of what it looks like, so that would be a nice addition. =)

The managers name being Sir Inventor, I love it! Like his last name is actually Inventor! xD
