The InHumanity

Oct 27, 2023

The stars light up as the clouds started to ascend...except the mothership: the sun's still blotted out though, and only bright red lights shine down...



An gold light then descends from the giant cloud, and sparkles rains down--the spores then form into Djamor and Xanthodermus!!!! "Ah!" she gasps in sadness as she looks at the landscape: she was used to the blue sky and the green grass and leaves... (even Eukaryotes had twilight sky and forests) but the war torn land was covered in weaponized Mycelium and burns from fire and poison spores.. and civilization--buildings cars and other manmade objects were all either shattered are heavily damage from the ultimate-rain from their warships.. "W,we..." she starts. "Our armies did this, on order from our parents; don't associate yourself with this destruction, like how humans didn't want to see eating others is wrong."  Xanthodermus replied with an irritated tone... The siblings then walk alone together, as there's no one left that could hurt them... Other Mushrooms walk around too, to see how the planet looks....

The Siblings specifically go to areas they visited before, with Djamor wanting to go to North Carolina first.... The specialized shelter that was made for them was destroyed somewhat to her surprise..  The Mycelium that was inside the building is now everywhere; but it mixed with the weaponized version.... The area they got used to living in is now burned by flames and chemicals.... "Th..the shelter..." the princess says in a gasp, "The place where Nosfir returned after having his arm ripped off!" Xanthodermus added in sarcasm. "Bu,but this is also where we made so many friends, I.. I can't believe father told them to do this!" his sister retorted... "How many innocent people were hurt in this?!". "Don't fear..." he replied "Nobody who's innocent was really hurt...", Xanthodermus then walks away ...looking at the damage... Djamor sighs sadly, following her brother: she wanted to walk by herself, but doesn't want to happen upon an uncovered body alone...



Few miles away, Nosfir walks to Lucy's house and goes inside... unlike everybody else there; she's solely wrapped in Mycelium without parasites.. "...I'm sorry.." he apologized to her "I couldn't let them attack you on my behalf; or you would've died... I was never mad at you, just scared then... You, you were never someone to fear...". Nosfir holds her arm "My cap.. the one I wore, wasn't a weapon... I only hid your vital signs so they wouldn't kill you, if.. if you'd forgive me.... I want to bring you with me... back to Eukar... " he reveals, as he starts to unravel the encasing. Lucy's eye suddenly turns towards him!!!!




Back with Djamor and Xanthodermus; they travel to Texas, as the princess could not find her crush there... but... first......

"Wait!" she calls out to Xanthodermus, "Hurry, I have no interest in staying still in this place..." he replied; revealing he still has an distaste in seeing what happened, despite his anger.. The princess then run to Jon's summer home; while poison burned the yard and his house; the weaponized Mycelium surrounded but didn't touch what was made by their (hybrid) children! Pink Oyster Mushrooms were growing in the shade, she carefully lifts them out of the dirt; and puts them in her Robe's pockets.. ...but as she does, she starts to cry bitterly.. before whatever happened made him so angry, she enjoyed every moment with kind and nervous man... And wanted to raise their children with him...

After a few minutes, Xanthodermus came to check on her... she had cleaned herself up to go with him to Texas...

They then go to NASA, Djamor hoping to find the human she wanted to be her partner soon..... Xanthodermus then splits up with her... "Xanthodermus?!" she asked in surprise! "I'll catch up soon, or you could come with me?" he asked "Though, I'm sure you don't want to stop on your way to ...that betrayer?". "I... I think I understand... I'll go alone, whoever you're looking for, I hope they were also spared..." Djamor replies and leave.... Xanthodermus then goes as he wonders "Spared also? Did she say something? Surely, there's no humans left...". He then goes to a specific home, via following the GPS on his rust covered device... 

Xanthodermus then finds it and goes inside, the place is covered in Mycelium and somewhat burned.. the Prince then goes inside and searches everywhere; it's damaged but not too destroyed.... He then goes into the basement... following the signal of an still working phone.. He then sees Randolph frozen in Mycelium... Though, parasitic mushrooms are covering him.... " Oh.. he's gone then..." the prince thought out loud "Then he wasn't true... I guess it was lust; something that excited a few from both planets.. curiosity and lust....". He then leaves as the Mushrooms started to turn into the aliens; no longer being like Earth mushrooms but children of Eukar...



Meanwhile; Djamor walks to Jon's Houston home.. she assumed he stayed near the nation's capital after they left, but now realized he DID say the other placd was his summer home before... and realized he must actually live in Texas then... On her way there, she passes by more Mushrooms, including Champi... " Oh.." she says quietly..

The Button Mushroom-Alien stares at Quince kneeling in the street, he's the only human for many miles around without parasites on his body.... "Quince... wh,why did this happen??" she asks sadly... "I.. hope you weren't hurt... Why did they think you were a danger?" Champi asks softly.  She kneels by him and holds his Mycelium covered face "Please, please... when the survey's done; please get up... I.. I would even be glad if you still choose Mina over me... As long as you're alive.." she adds in sadness... "Ah, let me see if she's still here!" She suddenly adds! 

She then searches the streets; the shelters nearby.. though, the woman stays away from disfigured and poisoned bodies... Champi eventually finds the one Mina's in; while most others are covered in parasites, Mina's one of the handful only covered in Mycelium "Ah.. I knew it, she was too kind.." Champi says with an relieved gasp... Then goes back to check on Quince again!






Back with the princess; she nears Jon's home.... Djamor enters it slowly, then hears someone close behind her "EEE!" she squeals, then turns around and sees her brother!! "Oh, you!!" she says with an sigh! "I found.. he was..." Xanthodermus starts in an irritated tone "I shouldn't of thought differently..". "I'm sure one human feels that way about you!" she assures in hope "If... if... they didn't..." she started to trail off.. "Don't worry about them, you haven't found Jon yet.." he replied, then steps back from the doorway "I.. I have to assume all of them are dead ...but I won't try to stop you from looking..". "I'll be fast..." Djamor replies... she then looks around the home; but doesn't find the scientist there... when she returns, the prince is already leaving.. "We're going back to the ship then?" he asked as he looked over his shoulder.... "I.. want to see the others too..." Djamor lies.. "Don't forgot, beam up if there's any danger left..." he warns her...

The princess then continues to look for her ex-partner... she passes many humans that are being used as birthing places for fungus to be born.. the earthlings were nothing but nutrition; similar to how the people thought Mushrooms should've been for them... The princess is able to stand the sights of burned and mangled bodies by now,  in the name of finding Jon. Until... she sees him!

Djamor ran to him, "Jon..." she cries some... "I wish you didn't get caught up in this... you, you were afraid, hurt.. whatever happened to you.. whatever you saw: you simply wanted peace and to deal with it in a calm way... But... nobody wanted to do the same thing... nobody could stand by as they were being destroyed... I.. so much wish that this didn't turn out like this.. The time we spent before everything changed;  I wish we could've gone on forever that way.. I.. too can't help but feel horrible for our people too... It hurts, death didn't need to happen..... consuming each other isn't necessary.. Nobody needed to hurt anyone... If.. Your people just didn't feel the need to constantly consume and take advantage of everything, and mine weren't so vengeful..... ...At very least; y, you..you were saved too... I switched some of the weapons for Huston.. You.. should be able to experience what few others have yet again..".. she rubs his head; the Mycelium on Jon was solely that.. so ...similar to Lucy, he was able to look at her...  though unable to recognize the princess or that he exists...



Meanwhile; in Cheyenne: light rains down yet again... This time, the spores of Ceres descends, along with a human being. "Ooooh... I didn't know they were going to do THIS!!" she exclaimed in surprise as she skips around! "Ah... this is no different than what humans did already, except you guys used fungus?.." the short-man says in annoyance while looking away "You don't care that we almost annihilated your race, Camil!?" she asks in surprise... "No, now that everybody's probably gone.. I can say: most `relationships` are based on people doing whatever strangers, their friends, family and partner wanted..or they'd hate them. Seriously the law--law makers are hypocritical because they most likely did the same crap the accused did. There's some good people, but humanity was a dumpster fire.". "Alright, Mr Hellsing.. I see you're on our side then? I even tried to keep your family safe, but I guess I wasted my time?" Ceres jokes.. "This goes without saying, but I'd probably only want mom to be OK.. She dealt with a lot of insanity she shouldn't of had to, and wasn't annoying..." Camil replied "And yeah, I'm on your side; my entire time on your planet was fun, relaxing and just better in general..." he turned towards her: his eyes were black as hers and his annoyed frown turns into a smile upon seeing Ceres laughing at what he said...








The Mushroom-Aliens combined the planets, and created the last civilization in the universe; the stronger race was impervious to most weaknesses that the `parent races` were weak to before, and had the humility and regeneration of the (civilian) Mushrooms, with the strength and ....ironically the kindness (very, very) few humans had...  With the intelligence of both, which was solely used for survival and comfort but purposely just for that...

They were called: Inhumanity........

Decided to keep the insert in here, as I let Ceres be mentioned only once, which would've been very strange.... I'll explain more if someone asks, but yeah...

Don't ask why this had random dramatic speeches though, I was different a year or so(?) ago. Also can't help but think this cpuld be hilarious if parodied, but eh.. What do you think?
