Synopsis for "We Were Prisoners on the Beast Asteroid"
A scout ship lands on an asteroid to make repairs. The two pilots then observe four capsule- like ships landing near them. The first capsule opens, and the pilots observe a huge tentacle creature emerge. The creature attacks the pilots, but they blast the creature with their guns, and it retreats into a lake. A second capsule opens, and a giant flying beast emerges. The creature flies above them as the pilots take cover. The third capsule releases a dragon like creature that chases the pilots, but they get away by jumping on a raft and crossing a small lake. Once on the lake they encounter all of the beasts once more, but they do their best to escape their wrath. The two pilots then notice a space craft as three aliens emerge from it. The aliens seem to be rounding up the creatures that emerged from the capsules. The pilots get their attention and explain that their ship is damaged. The aliens explain that they were unaware that the pilots were thinking beings. The aliens were under the impression that the pilots might have been pet beasts that had somehow transmuted. The aliens help the pilots repair their ship so they can rejoin their party.
