Date: Day 14 of the Carma Calendar.
Origin: Ofgina.
"What do we do?" I found myself asking. Everyone turned to look at me. "What, it's a
valid question."
Tala turned back to the scene, "We need to get out of here!"
"I say we fight!" Talen responded.
"We can't fight those guys." Marcus said.
"Marcus is right; we need to get out of here. Only problem is, we don't have a way out."
Jack added.
Aliria glanced in my direction. <Should I tell them?> She inquired. I nodded slowly. <Mada may be able to provide a means of escape.>
Again most of the heads turned to me, but Merrill was focused on what was happening outside. "We may have a problem…" We all looked outside. Those bug things were heading towards the house.
"To the junkyard, quick!" I shouted, taking charge, for the first and probably last
time.
We all ran out the back door, trying to stay covered under the trees, just in time. The house was suddenly reduced to rubble. Someone must have spotted us, because one of the ships landed in the spot my house had been in. I heard a voice, like Aliria's in my head, urging us to come with them. Something about having a treat on the ship for us. "What are we, five?" I muttered. We continued running, not daring to turn around. We ran all the way to the junkyard. "There! In there!" I pointed at the ship. The engine cap was still open and the engine looked as if it might not work, but we had to try. Everyone else was behind me, as I stopped to grab my tools, just in case. I ran onto the ship, glancing back only once. I wished I hadn't. Behind me were two Andalites, a large worm like thing with a thousand legs, red, jelly-like eyes, and a large gaping mouth, and two beasts covered in blades.
<Get them!> One of the Andalites shouted.
I ran onto the ship and tried to close the door, but it wasn't working. The blasted door was broken!
So, instead, I ran over to the controls and started pushing buttons.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Merrill inquired.
"No, do you?"
"No."
Suddenly, we all were flung forwards, including the bladed thing that had made its way onto the ship, as the ship went backwards. I pressed another button and we were floored as it shot up. My hand hit another button and the door started to close, much to my relief. The bladed creature went to attack me, but Aliria's tail shot out and he crumpled to the ground, his head a few feet away. "Thanks." I murmured, trying to get the ship to stop. Finally, we stopped, hovering above the planet, stars all around us. "Now what?" I asked, breathing hard.
"You learn how to fly while Marcus and I learn what to do with these." Jack said, pointing to some other control panels. I nodded and stared at the controls, trying to make sense of what I was seeing.
"Um, guys, I think we may have more problems than learning how to fly out of here."Marcus commented. We all looked up, seeing tons of those bug ships and a black ship, with a tail, similar to Aliria's. And they were all facing towards us…
Chapter's a little short because it was a full chapter back when I was younger, and I wanted to leave you at the suspense.
