Heir to an Empire/ introductions

You begin to shake the first alien "hey buddy, wake up". His big eyes open and he says "My name is not buddy, I am Vlex". You let go of him and say "Sorry, Vlex, was it? I'm Jay. Look I don't know much about what's going on but I think we were abducted" and you point to their bodies. Vlex looks over and says "reapers" he looks back at you and says "I do not know why they would have abducted a Krellin, but I am thankful". "That's odd" you say I heard the gra… ah reapers say the same thing when they shot at me". He looks at me like I'm retarded "because you are a Krellin, are you not?" You shake your head "No, I'm from a planet called Earth or Terra". He looks me up and down "well, your color and accent is off but other wise I would say you are Krellin" I help him up as he says "reapers do not usually attack Krellins, perhaps because you are from earthertara". I shake my head and correct him "no my planet's name is Terra but the less educated on it call it earth". He stokes his chin and says "odd, most races call earth dirt, the unintelligent of your world call it dirt, odd". You tell him "we can get into semantics later we need to wake up the others and find a way off this ship, grab one of their guns and help me wake the others up". Vlex backs away from me waving his hands in front of him I cannot We Dactrons are pacifists". I throw my head back and sigh "Dactorns, Is that your race" he nods "I understand Dactrons are pacifists but there comes a time when one, even a pacifist, must make a stand. It looks like there's enough of us to take up arms for now, you may not have to fight but I'll be honest we may need everyone we can get". He nods an says I will if I have too.

The two of you begin to wake up the others. The orange alien thought we were her new masters and were here to fuck her, she's from an more or less enslaved race who is incapable of using weapons (when she held a gun she almost lost consciousness). The big green guy almost killed us when he woke up but was more then willing to fight when he realized what was happening. The pale one thought we were going to rape her but was also willing to fight once she understood what was happening. I tell Vlex "I think you're going to have to fight, buddy". He makes a quick whining noise an grabs the gun before saying "I told you I am Vlex". I pat his shoulder "buddy is a term of endearment on my world, it means friend". He looks at my hand on his shoulder and repeats "buddy".

We begin our assault on the gray's ship. Shooting your way through the ship killing as many of the little gray bastards as we can, e make our way to the bridge and the real shoot out begins. It becomes a real fog of war situation, between all the laser fire, flashing red light, and the alarms it's really hard to tell what's happening. You see Vlex is about to get shot and jump in front of the laser beam, you hit the ground in searing pain from the laser, and your gun goes off hitting the pilot. The ship spins out of control and you go flying across the bridge slamming into a bulkhead, and everything goes black again.

What happens next?
