HIT Chapter 1: A new beginning


The 100 year intergalactic war… not only shook mankind forever but also all of the milky way beings. Ending with its destruction and complete end of the galaxy. The beings that remained continued to live on forward finding peace and settling onto a new home. Hence the academy was founded! To protect peace and enforce justice on this new genesis…

The sun shown down in the busy interstellar port of Gengar, a peaceful little planet on the edge of the New Milky Way Galaxy. Staring at the sky with determination in his hazel eyes, is a young teen named Sun Shadow Star son of the hero of the alliance. He smiled and breathed in the air as the wind played around with his short light brown hair. Then, with all the people around him moving rapidly toward his destination, he entered the spaceport with a confident stride and a grin on his face.

By the way he walked, hardly looking at the holo paper in his hands for direction; one would surmise he was firmly in control of everything…until the attendant walked up to him and said:

-“May I help you, sir?”- Sun, who promptly jumped two feet in the air, gave a nervous laugh and sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

-“Uhh…yeah, um… Do you know where Gate 34 is?”- He blurted out in a rush while the blue haired attendant continued to smile politely, and answered in a cheery but strained voice:

-“Of course sir, this is the gate. May I see your ticket and identification, please? The shuttle is leaving in five minutes.”-

Startled, the teen frantically looked inside the duffle bag and took out his documentation. The attendant examined the papers, smiled, clipped the ticket and handed everything back to him with the same strained but polite smile.

-“Thank you Mr. Shadow; your seat is F-23. Please hurry and enjoy your flight with Inter-Galaxy Spacelines.”-

Nodding back, the teen promptly ran through the corridor and inside the shuttle; where he threw his bag unceremoniously inside the compartment. A sword hilt, an old model that used energy crystals, clattered on the floor noisily and the owner looked embarrassed as he picked it up. He quickly strapped it to the magnetic belt he had on his white pants and sat down on his designated seat, a corridor one…

-“Damn I wanted a window seat…”- He muttered with a sigh.

-“It’s empty if you want it.”- Said a deep voice, close to his left.

Sun swore he jumped out of his skin as he whirled around to his left and came face with…A pair of sunglasses? What the….

-“What?”- said the voice from the sunglasses followed by a raised black eyebrow.

Sun blinked and was then able to see a dark skinned teen with curly black hair behind the midnight black sunglasses. The dark teen crossed his arms over his chest and just then Sun notice he was wearing a black trench coat with its collar held up, as to cover the lower part of his face making him look older. Then, trying to regain his cool, Sun sat down in his seat crossing his arms as well and said in the coolest sounding voice he could muster:

-“Sorry about that… I’m not used to… travel.” He finished lamely and felt even more foolish as the dark teen raised a slim eyebrow. But as he was wishing desperately to become invisible, he saw a small smile from the other teen.

-“First time traveling can be a little intimidating.”- Having said that, the dark teen uncrossed his arms, assuming a more relaxed position.

-“Exactly! My name’s Sun and I’m getting ready to take the H.I.T. Academy entrance exams.”- The now relieved older teen said as he offered a hand in greeting and the other shook it firmly.

-“R.B.N. looks like we have the same destination then.”- Answered the younger teen with a smirk while the other grinned back, having found somebody friendly to talk to.

-“Really? Are you a new cadet? What do you specialize in? What kind of weapons do you use?”- Said Sun in a rush, making the other chuckle, amused.

-“Yes, um… infiltration, technology and plasma guns…Relax we’re going to need our heads clear if we’re going to pass the interview when we get there. I hear it’s full of trick questions and pitfalls for us to fail.”- The dark teen said as he crossed his arms and lowered his head to his chest as if he were going to sleep.

-“Yeah… I heard that 80% of the recruits who apply fail and never make it to the physical part of the exam.”- Sun answered while crossing his arms a well and trying to look cool. But after a while of maintaining the pose and getting no answer he got nervous and said:

-“R.B.N.?... hey bro…you’re so silent, I’m starting to think you’re…”- Sun turned toward his silent companion to find him…

-“Sleeping?!”- He finished, stating the obvious with the dark teen snoring lightly beside him.

Suddenly the shuttle gave the lurch for launch and he remembered he didn’t have his seatbelt so he put it on quickly and after the shuttle was safely in space he sat back on his chair giving R.B.N. a side glance.

-“Maybe he has the right idea…”- He muttered, and with that said, Sun closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~~After some hours and parsecs of distance covered in travel~~~~~

R.B.N. was no longer snoring lightly and instead was doing so rather loudly with his head cocked back and his mouth wide open. It appeared he was sleeping rather deeply since he hadn’t noticed when Sun’s head had fallen on his shoulder or the drool that was slipping from said teen’s mouth unto his trench coat.

Unnoticed by anyone three passengers from the rear stood up and headed to the back of the shuttle. The tallest, a burly man in his mid thirties, had a brown beard with white streaks and a big cowboy hat covering his shoulder length brown and white hair. The middle one was in his early twenties with spiky blonde hair, a big brown poncho covering most of his body and was constantly chewing a piece of gum in his mouth. While the third one, which reached the tallest one’s hips in height, had flaming red hair, slicked back with plenty of gel and was wearing a slit cape that once in a while would show a glimpse of his hands that had razor sharp claws instead of fingers. The three men stopped short just before the cabin door when a waitress, who saw then as she was doing her rounds, called out to them.

-“Sirs, the back is strictly forbidden to passengers! Please return to your seats!”- She said as she passed them and stood in front of the cabin door with her arms spread wide to make her point clear, no one would enter.

-“Now miss, I don’t think this is a wise choice…”- Said the tallest one, with his gruff voice and a wicked smirk while the blonde behind him blew up a bubble with his gum unconcerned. The waitress, annoyed, was about to call security when…

*Pop!*

The blonde man licked off the remains of the popped bubble while the waitress gasped and looked at her belly to see red staining her blue uniform. She fell to the floor graciously as he finished licking the last piece of bubblegum from his lips and hid the silenced handgun inside his poncho. The one with red hair laughed while the tallest one flipped his mostly brown hair to place a communicator on his ear.

-“Hide the body and continue with phase two.”- Said the leader as he picked up a large and heavy looking suitcase hidden behind a corner of the shuttle.



The blonde man nodded and dragged the waitress, whose blouse was now thoroughly stained red with blood, to the corner that had hidden the suitcase while the smaller one grinned and rubbed his hands eagerly. Meanwhile the leader opened the suitcase, taking out an equally heavily Gatling gun which he needed to hold with both hands and headed through the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the passenger seating area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R.B.N. suddenly coughed and blinked, sleepily waking up. Feeling a weight on his shoulder he looked the side and saw Sun there, drooling on his trench coat. An angry vein popped on his face and he was about to tell him off when a crazy crackle from the back got his attention.

The red haired man was laughing wildly while running through the corridor with his arms and claws spread wide. In an instant all the passengers in the corridor seats, who were in the way of his claws as he passed, were slashed, cut or maimed in some way. R.B.N. saw the danger and instantly grabbed Sun, roughly dragging him away from the corridor and narrowly missing the deadly claws. The saved teen, which had just woken up, blinked sleepily and shook his head to bring focus to his still sleeping mind.

-“Wha…?”- Was all he could say, before the dark teen covered his mouth with his left hand and brought his right index finger to his own mouth in a gesture for him to be quiet.

-“Shhh!”- Uttered R.B.N. and pointed with the same finger to the now jumping red haired man. All at once four guys in random seats stood up with guns drawn and pointed them to the laughing mad man.

*Pop* *Pop* *Pop* *Pop*

As sudden as the four guys had stood up, they promptly fell to the floor with bullet holes on the back of their heads. Both R.B.N. and Sun were shocked, and both look back just in time to see the blonde man pop his bubblegum and lower his two silenced guns. At this moment the guy with the claws started laughing again, catching everyone’s attention.

-“Hello ladies and germs! This here’s a robbery… but don’t worry we don’t want any of your useless junk!”- Said the smaller of the two with a scratchy voice and promptly started laughing menacingly again while the taller one made his way to the front and stood beside the other silently.

-“Ahh, that was a good laugh! Anyway, all we want is a special package on the back, but since we need to keep you all from doing something stupid, like the four cops just now, I’ll leave my ‘amigo’ here to guard you all while I take the…ouch!” He stopped abruptly and looked over to his partner who had hit him on the shoulder with the butt of his gun.

-“Yeah, yeah….”- The smaller one said sulkily as he made his way to the cockpit and left the scared stiff passengers with his taller companion. At his absence the area became completely silent, except form the occasional popping sound of the bubble gum.

Sun, who had sat still through the whole exchange, couldn’t stand by and let this go on so he prepared to strike. moved his hand to grab the sword hilt at his belt when R.B.N. grabbed him hard. Sun looked at him in surprise, and saw the dark teen shake his head. Looking dejected, the older teen turned back to the blonde man and saw him looking straight at him with his piercing green eyes. Sun sweat dropped and stood as still as he could but the sharp stare wouldn’t move from him, even when he started blowing another bubble with his gum.

Suddenly a creak was heard from the other side and the green eyes moved immediately to the source of the sound, catching a woman right in the middle of getting up from her seat. Without even waiting for any excuses, the blonde automatically lifted his gun and fired one shot.

*Pop!*

The woman fell down immediately with a shot between her eyes, while the passengers started screaming and crying all around her. Panic seemed imminent when…

*Pop!*

There was an immediate silence in the passenger area as everyone stared at the gun currently pointed at the ceiling and its stoic holder, who looking unconcerned popped his bubblegum.

*Pop!*

A couple of people squealed and others started crying, while the blonde man lowered his gun and with a small smirk while licked off the gum from his lips. Meanwhile R.B.N. took advantage of his lack of interest on them to lean over and whisper to Sun:

-“Don’t try that again.”- Sun looked at him over the corner of his eye with disapproval but non-the-less nodded.

-“I’ll distract him, you run over and take him out.”- At this the white clad teen looked at R.B.N. in surprise, but after a moment of consideration, he smirked and nodded in approval.

The blonde man’s eyes were once again on the duo as Sun gripped his sword hilt and R.B.N. tapped a button on the side of his sunglasses. Unbeknownst to anyone, a targeting device had appeared on the right lens of his sunglasses and started to calculate information at a rapid pace. Green eyes narrowed as the owner gripped his guns tighter and started to blow up another bubble with his gum.


Time seemed to slow down as; in the span of a second several things happened in rapid succession: The blonde man and R.B.N. raised their guns at the same time, the dark teen firing milliseconds after the former; their sounds melting together into one big BANG. Sun ducked his head as he ran with all of his might toward the front, while taking out the sword hilt with one swift motion.

At this moment time seemed to revert back to normal as two shots clashed against each other sending their energy bullets ricocheting in different directions. Green eyes narrowed in pain, his bubble popping as he gritted his teeth, when the hand holding his right gun was hit and said weapon few out of his hand. Sun took the chance to activate his sword and a red energy blade materialized with a flash of energy. The blonde man saw the danger it possessed and lowered his left gun with speed and precision to the running teen’s head, moments before he reached him. Sun’s eyes widened and his grip on his sword tightened as he swung it desperately with all his might.

*Bang!*

Blood spurted from the blonde’s left arm as a shot from R.B.N. pierced his skin, and before he could recover Sun’s sword came down inches from his nose. The eyes blonde’s widened as the teen swung his energy sword.

*Shuunn!*

There was a melting sound and a yelp of pain as Sun sliced the blonde’s gun in two and left his hand burned in the process. He tried to hit him with his right hand but stopped when he saw the red tip of the sword stop inches from his nose.

-“Don’t… I don’t want to hurt you.”- The teen said with a determined look on his face and the blonde had no choice but raise his right hand in surrender, his left was cradled to his side to avoid moving it.

-“Tie him up.”- Said R.B.N. as he picked up some emergency rope from the pack on the wall with his left hand and threw it to the older teen while his right hand held his gun trained to the blonde’s head.

Sun noticed the pained look that passed through the dark teen’s face as he threw the rope but non-the-less- did as he was told. Suddenly a crash was heard was heard from the back of the shuttle and both teens turned toward it.

-“Maybe there are more back there…”- Said the older teen, with a bad feeling in his gut as he finished tying the last knot with the ropes.

-“Check it out; I’ll take flame head up ahead.”- R.B.N. answered after a moment of consideration and lifted up his right gun, flipping a switch with his thumb.

*Puiinn…*

-“But…”- Sun said worriedly while looking at the other teen’s immobile left arm.

-“Don’t worry; I’ve been through worst than a measly shot.”- Replied the dark teen after disregarding his concerned look and walked over to the passage that leaded to the shuttle’s cockpit.

Sun stood uncertainly a moment but nodded anyway and took off running to the back the shuttle after carefully shutting off his energy sword so he wouldn’t hurt any passengers on the way. R.B.N. on the other hand stopped just before the door and looked at the steadily growing red spot on the left shoulder of his trench coat. He hadn’t told the other teen because he wanted him to concentrate on whatever enemy he was about to face but the reality was that the shot was more serious than he let on. He tried to move his left hand, to at least hold a gun, but the pain was so great he gasp out loud after the hand did a small twitch. Giving up on that idea he let the arm to dangle uselessly at his side while he tightened his hold on his gun with his right. And so with a determined step, he walked inside the shuttle’s cockpit; leaving the now muttering passengers with the tied up blond who licked the gum off his lips unconcerned of his surroundings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At the back of the shuttle~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun ran with all his might with the with the sword hilt firmly in hand, until he saw the cabin. He grinned and was about to slow down when something slippery made him slip and fall flat on his butt.

-“Ouch! Aww man!”- He complained as he stood up and passed his hand over his sore rump when he felt something sticky on his fingers. Confused he brought it to his face and was horrified to find it red with blood. Looking down he noticed he was standing in a small pool of blood and a trail that lead to a corner of the tiny room. Afraid of what he would find, he cautiously walked over the compartment pushing the open button. The relatively small door opened and immediately after the body of the waitress fell in a heap in front of him.

-“Whaaaaauuuuuaaaagggghhhh!!!”- Sun screamed and promptly fell on his butt again form the shock of seeing his first dead body so close to him. There was another crash from the cargo area that snapped the teen out of his panic attack. He gulped, stood up, giving one last look at the woman on the floor before making his way to the cargo area with clenched teeth, more determined than ever that whoever was there needed to be stopped before anyone else got hurt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~At the cockpit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R.B.N. hid behind a corner and cautiously looked inside the pilot area, seeing said pilot and copilot on their respected seats, but couldn’t locate the man with the red hair anywhere.

-“Looking for someone?”- A voice behind him said with a laugh.

The dark teen instantly turned around with his gun pointed back but couldn’t see anyone. He looked around wildly, pointing at every direction as he heard the mad man’s laugh coming from everywhere at once. Suddenly he spotted a small glance of raid hair above him, immediately turning his sights and barrel up he was shocked to see the red head using his claws to move through the ceiling with incredible speed like an overgrown insect. Before he could respond the man crawled up to him and swung his right claw right at him.

*Slash!*

R.B.N. closed his eyes as he tried to dodge and he felt the wind pass right before his face as the claws missed by inches. He reacted at once, bringing his gun right at his face but the moment he opened his eyes the man was gone. Thoroughly shaken, the dark teen ran from his spot behind the corner and headed to the more open space of the piloting area. He was about to yell something to the pilot when he felt a searing pain on his back that made him cry out in pain and fall down on the floor. With his adrenaline kicking in on high, he turned round quickly with his gun held up ready to fire. The barrel stopped at the mad man’s face and he was satisfied to see his scared expression before the shuttle gave a lurch, making the gun move momentarily from its target. Taking full advantage of the situation the man jumped out of the range of fire and right behind of the scared-to-death-pilot with a squeal of glee. R.B.N. cursed as he kept the gun trained to the red head’s face but couldn’t take the shot and risk hurting the pilot.

-“Hihihihi! What’s wrong kid, too much for ya!?”- Said the mad man with a wicked grin on his face as he looked at his red stained left claws while R.B.N. seethed with rage.

-“Don’t want to hurt the pilot? Hihihi… I’ll teach you something about gun safety…”- The red head continued calmly, and then suddenly locked his blood lusting dark eyes straight at the teen before him.

-“Don’t point them unless you’re gonna’ kill!!!”- He screamed as he charged straight at R.B.N.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~At the Cargo Area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun ran inside the dimly light cargo area, carefully as to avoid the many packages lying around. Suddenly a sound caught his attention and he immediately took cover behind a big box, holding the hilt of his sword to his chest with his thumb over the on switch.

-“Finally; those government scum sure are persistent with these security devices!”- A gruff voice could be heard coming further inside and the teen cautiously looked passed his hiding place to see a tall man with a cowboy hat and a huge Gatling gun strapped to his back as he tried to open some kind of metal box.

Sun gulped at the size of the man and the gun, but non-the-less got ready to attack. He took a deep breath and charged straight at him while he pressed the button to activate his energy sword.

*Fuush!*

At the moment the teen was going to swing at the giant gun, the man swiftly moved to the side and he ended up scorching part of the metal box. Sun had a moment to mentally curse before he jumped to the side and barely avoided a fist to the jaw. Mentally and physically shaken, he stood with his energy sword poised in a defensive stance while staring at the bearded man’s smirk.

-“First time in combat, son?”- The man said as he took out the Gatling gun and held it firmly with both hands, right index finger over the trigger, while the younger teen slowly backed away with his eyes firmly on the giant barrel.

-“That’s too bad then… But I guess your life ends here.”- Said the brown haired man with almost pity as he opened fire without warning.

*Whiiii!* *Prererererererere!*
Sun jumped instinctively to the right, hissing as some bullets grazed his leg as he landed behind a crate. Pressing himself at it, he heard the ricochet of the bullets as they hit the crate and started chipping the wood. Knowing that it wouldn’t hold out for ever he desperately slid himself to another one, before the one he was just at was reduced to splinters and the designer clothes inside filed with holes.

-“Boy… by looking at you I believe you’re too new at this to know about the rules of the game… first of all never a knife to a gunfight!... I believe this is your end... *Points Gatling gun* now… let’s play a game, and onto the second rule! HIDE! Where no one can see you!”- The man screamed over the roar of the Gatling as he flipped a switch on the gun and the force of the fire changed.

*c***k!* *Prurururururururu!*

Out of nowhere the bullets suddenly pierced through the crate and embedded themselves on the titanium hull of the shuttle. Sun screamed as he heard the cracks of the wood inches from his head and was about to run when the shuttle gave a lurch. The bearded man lost his balance momentarily and the gun swayed to the side hitting the metal box and sending it flying with a bunch of holes.

-“Noooooo!!!”- Screamed the older of the two as he momentarily shut of the giant gun and ran over to where the metal box had landed.
Taking advantage of the confusion Sun leapt from his hiding place and charged with a horizontal slash, the red glow of his energy sword adding what looked like an after image to the swing. Unfortunately the bearded man heard him and just before the slash hit, he blocked with the body of his Gatling gun, sparks flying as energy met solid metal. He took the gun back and brought it hard at the teen’s head but Sun blocked the blow with his energy sword, both hands shaking from the sheer weight of the gun. They were both so concentrated on their fight that they didn’t notice a white liquid-like substance dripping from the broken metal box and forming a puddle around their feet…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the cockpit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R.B.N. was desperately dodging the mad man’s slashes, rolling on the floor and sidestepping slash after slash. He was looking for an opening to shoot him but the fact that the cockpit was full of delicate control panels that could be irrevocably damaged if he accidentally shot them was giving him a hard time. Even if he had changed the mode of his gun to the short ranged burst mode before entering here, he couldn’t be sure he wouldn’t damage them with this fast paced battle.

-“Got you!!!”- Shouted the red head with a grin as he slashed the dark teen’s already injured left arm.

-“Aaaahhhhgggg!”- Screamed R.B.N. in shear pain as he fell to his knees and bending over to protect the wounded arm.

-“Yes! Now die!!!”- Yelled the mad man with a crazy glint in his dark eyes as he lifted his right hand, claws glinting eerily as if eager to shred flesh and bone.

-“No!” Said the pilot as he bravely fired a small handgun he had hidden up till now, hitting the red head in his left bicep.

-“Why you!!!”- Snarled the mad man as he turned toward the stunned pilot.

-“Hey freak!! Eat this!”- Roared R.B.N. pointing his gun right at the red head’s gut from his still kneeling position.

*Bang!*

-“Whaaauuuggghhh!!!”- Howled the red headed man as the shotgun-style-burst sent him crashing to the wall behind him.

R.B.N. kept his gun shakily pointed at the fallen mad man as he tried to control his gasping breath. A beep from the side made him look at the monitor of the cockpit and he saw that the space station, with the H.I.T. Academy, was now in docking range. He let go a sigh of relief he didn’t even know he was holding as the pilot got moved the shuttle into position and gave him a nod with the black tinted helmet he wore. The dark teen was about to do the same when…

*Piu* Piu* *Piu* *Piu* *Piu*


The pilot didn’t even have time to scream as five claws embedded themselves in his chest and helmet. R.B.N. turned to the bleeding man he had just shot to find his right hand, now clawless, aimed at the pilot. Feeling more rage than he ever felt before he stood up, ignoring the pain, and pointed his gun point blank at the mad man’s grinning face.

*Bang!*

Not caring about the blood that sprayed at his trench coat, face and sunglasses the dark teen lowered his gun from the smoking hole that used to be the red head’s face. But before he could congratulate himself the shuttle gave a violent lurch as the pilot’s dead body hit the steering wheel. The copilot pushed the body away as R.B.N. threw his gun to the side and ran up to the pilot’s seat.

-“Don’t you know how to pilot this thing?!”- Yelled the dark teen as he grabbed the steering wheel with his right hand.

-“This is my first practice flight! I can’t!”- Answered the obviously scared copilot and R.B.N. cursed as he tried to stabilize the shuttle as it passed through the boarding passage inside the space station.

~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the cargo area~~~~~~~~~~

Sun and the tall man fought viciously, the teen bringing a wide arc as the other ducked below it, the energy sword cutting the tip of his hat as he tackled the younger fighter. The force of the blow took Sun’s breath away, breaking a rib or two as it sent him crashing to a couple of boxes in a corner.

Meanwhile the white liquid on the floor started grouping together and formed a vaguely humanoid shape with two wide eyes on his face and three large spikes that started from the side of his face and made their way to the back of his head. The bearded man laughed as he was about to shoot the injured teen, when the new born made a gurgling sound behind him. Startled, the older fighter turned around and opened fire on the three foot liquid-humanoid.

*Splat!* *Splat!* *Splat!* *Splat!*

The white creature promptly exploded with a shriek, parts of his jelly-liquid body splattering everywhere. Meanwhile the startled man, who moved his gun erratically from side to side, didn’t sense how Sun, who had cautiously gotten up, slashed his left arm.

-“Arrgh!”- Screamed the bearded man as the arm that was holding up most of the guns weight was severely burned.

-“Drop it! Don’t make me hurt you!”- Yelled Sun as the red tip of his energy sword graced the older man’s neck, making the skin glow as the heat started to burn it.

-“Hehehe…It really is your first time...” Said the man as he looked at the confused teen who held him at sword tip; what neither of the two realized was that the white splatter had been steadily melding together and had formed the humanoid shape again, but this time it looked angry…

-“Third lesson, pointing your weapon without any killing intent will just get you killed!”- He shouted as he shoved his gun viciously at Sun’s stomach, once again leaving him breathless, but this time it tore his shirt and skin.

The wounded teen fell on the floor painfully, his energy sword flying from his hand, with his abdomen seeping blood and staining his white shirt. In a moment there was a barrel pointed straight at his forehead as the owner smirked in superiority.

-“Any last words, son?”- Said the older man as he looked at the grimacing teen, not letting him talk, he pushed the trigger.

*Fuiwuish!* *Prururururururu!*

The humanoid alien had stretched its body and formed tentacles that grabbed the bearded man by the neck, arms and gun at the moment he fired. In surprise he jerked back just in time so the bullets missed Sun by inches.

-“Wha… What is this thing?!”- The older fighter yelled hysterically as he fired at random, hitting packages and the shuttle’s hull multiple times.

Suddenly the shuttle gave a lurch and the man fell on his back, splattering the alien all over the floor and throwing the still firing gun clattering to the ground and pinning him with its weight. One of those shots hit the cargo bay door, opening it and making a strong wind that sucked up boxes and sent them crashing down to the entry railway miles from the shuttle’s height. Sun grabbed some stacking pillars, trying desperately to not go flying while the shuttle shook violently as it started its decent. The alien goop slid itself through the floor effortlessly as it tried reforming itself again for the third time while the bearded man tried in vain to move the heavy gun away from him. But even their combined weight didn’t stop the suction force of the wind as it moved him ever closer to the opened cargo bay door. Sun saw his energy sword be sucked out and cried out, nearly losing his grip as he tried to catch it.

-“Nooooo!”- He yelled, feeling tears sting his vision as his most prized possession flew out of the shuttle and to the metal ground below.

-“Whoaaaahhhh!”- Screamed the older fighter as he was also sucked out and sent to the unforgiving hard floor beneath.

Sun tried with all his might to hold on but the pain from his torso and the force of the wind was zapping his strength. He looked toward the cargo bay door and was surprised to find the alien looking at him curiously, without any indication that it was trying to resist the winds at all but still maintaining itself upright without a problem. At this point the struggling teen wished he had whatever the little alien had that was giving him such an edge with this wind…but he didn’t have much time to think before…he slipped.

~~~~~~~~~~Back at the cockpit~~~~~~~~~~~~~

R.B.N. struggled with the controls as the pain in his arm and back, blurred his vision. The copilot was desperately pushing buttons and switches to try and steady the shaking shuttle as they hit turbulence. The dark teen was breathing hard, looking as if he was about to pass out when the com-link blared to life.

*Shuttle #10628, please stabilize your position. You are going to crash if you keep this course.*

R.B.N. blinked, shaking his head as if to shake away the dizziness and motioned to the copilot to answer. He tried to focus as the blood loss made the copilot’s response seem far away.

-“…trying…can’t…pilot…help…crash!”- Most of the frantic words of the copilot were lost to the dark teen as another wave of dizziness hit him head on.

Desperate to get back his focus, R.B.N. let go of the wheel momentarily and squeezed his left arm with his right. White light covered his vision as all went to silence, then after a second it was all over. The frenzied calls of the copilot were loud and clear as a rush of adrenaline hit his senses. He immediately grabbed the wheel firmly with his right hand and pushed it back. The shuttle shook as its nose slowly got up and settled into a semi-landing position.

-“This is the best I can do…”- Said R.B.N. as he pushed the button of the landing gear with his thumb and watched as the ground rapidly approached them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at the cargo area~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun felt his fingers slip from the bars and he gave a silent scream as the strong wind currents sucked his body pass the cargo bay doors. He swore he saw his life flash before his eyes, and he had a final thought of: ‘this can’t be happening!’ before something grabbed his arm. Startled he looked at the wide eyes of the alien, who now had his left hand incased in his gooey three fingered one. At this time the teen didn’t care how weird his little savior looked he laughed, relieved at the circumstances.

The mental celebration was short lived however as the shuttle landed, rather roughly, to the ground. The force of the impact made the white alien fall from where he was standing and it fell, with Sun, in a heap on the runway. After a while of gathering his bearings the injured teen slowly rose up and stood shakily in the middle of the floor, looking at the shuttle that stopped a few yards from where he was. Looking at the ground he saw the little alien melding himself back together again while doing little indignant squeaks and sounds. Sun, who was just glad to be alive, grabbed the little guy and spined him around while he laughed and danced.

-“Ahahahahaha!”- The alien for his part looked at the human like it was crazy, but after a moment gave a shrug and tried to imitate the strange new sound.

-“Uugghhh!”- At this point the pain got the best of Sun, he slowly fell to the ground gasping for air.

*Gwuplup!*

The little guy who had Sun’s blood on almost his entire torso, landed at the ground and looked at the human with annoyance. Sun had the decency to look ashamed while he held his still bleeding abdomen painfully and apologized.

-“Sorry little guy…I wasn’t thinking…I…”- At this point he realized he was talking to an alien who he didn’t even know could speak let alone understand his language. He was about to slap his forehead when…

*Click!* *Clack!* *Clack!* *Click!*

Sun looked back and saw a barricade of soldiers and security guards pointing with high powered energy rifles.
