The sound of metal groaning under stress rang in my ears and the darkness drenched in pale purple light made a strange atmosphere for me. The cold, which I could sense, didn't register in my body. I've never used this part of my infrastructure till now. Peering around as starbolts ran around my fingers I wasn't sure how much time had passed. I only knew I was waiting. Waiting for the Psions to come for me.
Anger boiled to my fingertips and the force exploded against the wall, recoiling and sending me sailing backwards. My back slammed heavily on the metal floor, sending sparks across my vision. I screwed my eyes tightly shut and waited for the mild pain to fade away. My anger at my sister and myself would not help me escape. I lay there, with the purple light from my fingers asleep.
There was no way out. The metal coating this room was too thick for even a Tamaranian to battle their way through. My starbolts proved too weak to do more than cause slight indentations. However, the best kind of escape is one well battled for.
"They plan on seeing how much energy it takes to make me explode? Well," I thought to myself with a smile, "I'll show them plenty of explosions."
There was a deep clank and grinding of gears as the door to my cell began to slide open. White light poured in temporarily blinding me. Two of the scaled sadistic beasts heaved their muscular bodies forward, clacking their teeth in a language I have not acquired yet. I heaved my body upward so I sat facing them as they angrily chattered to me, motioning to a pair of heavily armoured cuffs dangling from their claws.
My green eyes flashed menacingly at the pair, and clenching my fists I felt the heat race through my body to my flingertips with lightning speed. The hatred further fueled my inner fire till I felt like I was soaring. My feet left the ground and with menacing war cry I left forward releasing my starbolts onto their unexpecting green flesh.
They cried out in pain and I surged forward attempting to fly between the two outside the cell. One of the brutes felt my stream of hair as I flew and turned sharply in fear and surprise. One of their arms slammed into my side and i was knocked against the cell door frame. I grunted from the hit but pulled myself together with haste and ran down the hall. The Psions behind me didn't take too long to gather their senses and roared behind me, shaking the metal beneath me.
I ran faster than I ever have on my planet Tamaran, the clinking of my feet on grates and the roars of my pursuers only made my heart and inner fire race faster. As Psions became aware of my presence they poured out of doors and sirens wailed. One by one I fired my bolts crying in sheer joy of the fight. They fell before me and I lept over them as I proceeded to make my way to any window, anything that would allow me to leave this infernal place.
A Psion firmly grasped my angle as I tried to jump past and seek my escape, frantically I kicked with my strength and forced its release. Ahead of me, I noticed the specially designed airlock I've seen on ships before and let flight take me once again. I streaked at the door, energy crackling from my hands and concentrating on the lock, Behind me Psions poured out of doors and sirens changed from orange to red emitting sharp high pitched screams. The connection with the door jarred me and the metal groaned and bent opening a hole big enough to squeeze through.
However, the darkness of space wasn't taking too kindly from my intrusion, and the airless void began to blast through it. Using all the energy I could summon and dig the fire from the pit of my stomach and the heart of my battle I inched forward, behind me Psions cried in fear and layers of metal screamed and ripped away. Inch by inch my peripheral vision became surrounded in black and I felt the force trying to sling me back into the ship lessen till I was streaking through space.
The inferno blazed past my cheeks and blending in with my hair in a whirlwind of force. The planet Earth grew in remarkable size, I glanced over my shoulder in worry only to see the ship implode and small licks of flames reach into the darkness.
There was a sudden jolt forward as the heat and resistance from the planet Earth's outer atmosphere released and i was sailing through crisp air, but the fear and desperation in my heart confused my powers and made me quickly lose hold of my sense of flight. Before I knew it I was in free fall. The neck breaking speed that would harm a human stung my eyes and numbed my senses. It wasn't long before my sense of consciousness began to slip away.
