Space... the big black nothing... well if you don't count the stars and planets... and blasterfire... blasterfire!? Rows of bright green and red arced across the black filled space, possibly giving the near by planet goers an awesome laser show.. but giving Primus a frantic dance of death. Primus's ship was relativly small and relativly light and weaved in and around most of the blasts.. but you can only dodge so much and his ship had taken far more hits than Primus deemed acceptable. The source of this rapid display.. why Three very large.. very menacing Kilassan Cruisers. They were large whale shaped ships with rows of cannons and cannons.. and did I mention more cannons.
Primus: (as he thought to himself) I have to find someplace to hide. I can't escape these.. their too fast.
Suddenly he saw it... well pictured it in his mind's eye. It was a planet.. barren of all life and covered with craters. If he landed there and hid in a crater, the ships might pass and best of all no one would be put in further danger... but to matters at hand. He needed a distraction.. just enough to buy him a split second in time to make his dash for it. He focused.. hard.. and there was a pop and a blinding flash of light. The three cruisers behind him slowed to a halt.. Primus could hear the confusion going on in the enemy vessels. He quickly crank his ship into action and twisted around the barren plains of this moon and ducked away into a ridged crater... and waited. Slowly he felt the three cruisers pass by.. one.... two.... then... three?.... no wait.. where was Three. Slowly Primus peeked his ship's view out the corner to gaze up... and he saw the ships leaving... but not the way they had come from but towards .. this small green... OH NO! It was coming through loud and clear.
That planet had life.. and lots of it. He could hear the voices from the Kilassan's crews... They had found life.. and were going to end it. He had to warn them. It was his fault they had even found it. Maybe had he let them kill him they wouldn't have found it. It didn't matter now.. even if he tried to lead them away... He cranked his ship to full throttle and blasted towards the green dot. There was a small sense of relief.. the cruisers were hesitate.. they were most likely calling up reinforcments.. maybe he could get there before them.
------------(Few Days Later)
He had been pushing his ship to it's limit and though he tried his best to stay out of range.. one Cruiser had picked him up and lit him up.
Primus: Argh..
His ship shakes as another blasts rakes across his ship.
Primus: I might have to make an emergency landing..
One of his engines from the previous blast.. breaks off and explodes.
Primus: Ok.. Make that I will have to make..
Primus is thrusted back into his seat as the Earth's atmosphere grabs hold. The Cruiser backs off, as to allow the earth's atmosphere to finish it. Primus was on the verge of panicing.. if you called calculating how to not die panicing. No matter how much he attempted, the ships controls refused to listen. finally letting go of the controls, Primus opens his mind. A glowing aura of shimmering light surrounds the vessel.. and while it doesn't stop it from falling like a rock.. it helps set it into a controled glide...right into the side of a mountain. *CRASH*
