"Everybody run!"

The sky was dark and orange as rocks and debris rained down all over us. Slamming into the ground with such a force the ground shook, causing everyone to lose their balance. It was hard to see, the dust covered my eyes so bad I could hardly make out my own hand. Everyone was running and screaming, we weren't sure what was going on. All we heard was a big explosion from our neighboring planet and then everything turned to chaos.

"We have to get underground to the cellar!" I heard my master say. "We might be safe there!"

My master and his family began to run in the direction of the wine cellar, the children sobbing as their parents urged them to hurry and follow them. I wasn't sure what to do. I needed to find a place away from all these falling rocks, otherwise I would be crushed. I looked around for my fellow slaves, but the dust was so thick, I couldn't see any figures in the chaos. I started to run towards the house to see if anyone had taken refuge in there.

"Oof!"

I slammed into something- no wait, someone. Hard. We both tumble to the ground.

"Raker! Thank the gods you're alive!" I shout. Raker sees me and smiles. "Nice to see a friendly face," he says. Where were you going?"

"I was trying to run to the house to take cover, it was the only thing I could think of to buy some time before I could figure out an escape plan."

"Alright, I'll follow you then!"

We start running towards the house, dodging whatever was falling from the sky. While it was mostly rocks and large pieces of land, there were some odd items. Forks, broken dishes, even a stuffed bear rained down on us."What the hell happened on Krypton?" Raker asked.

We get to the door unharmed, and shut ourselves inside. I really hope nothing falls and crushes us in here. I look around the room. I don't get to come in the master's house very often. We're in a big dining room with a huge table and way too many chairs."Why do they have so many chairs? They don't have that many people in their family."

"They like to show off how rich they are." Raker smiled at his own joke.

"Ok, well do you have any idea what the hell is going on?" I'm starting to realize the gravity of the situation. We might die today. There are probably so many already dead. Crushed by the rubble. Trampled by the crowds of people running for their lives. I start to hyperventilate."Hey, hey, look at me." Raker took my head in his hands. "Everything is gonna be fine."

"You don't know that!" I cry.

"You're right I don't. But we'll figure something out, ok?"

Just at that moment we hear a huge crash and the house shakes. Pictures fall off the wall, expensive vases shatter on the floor."What was that? Did something hit the house?"

Raker and I walk towards the source of the noise. We open the door and see what caused the crash. It was a ship. A very sleek looking spaceship."Did someone fly this here or did it just land on its own?" Raker asks. He walks around it, touching it to see if it would react. I peek inside the front window to see if there was someone in there. And if they were still alive.

"It's empty. There's no one inside. It must have crashed here on its own." I walk around to see what Raker is doing. He's messing with the buttons on the side of pod. "Raker?"Suddenly the window opens with a gust of air startling me. I jump back, and Raker snickers."After you, m'lady."

"Umm, excuse me?" I look at him like hes crazy. "What are you thinking? We can't just fly a random spaceship with no knowledge of it. Besides, it only has one seat. We can't both fit."

"Yes. I can see that." he says. "I can program it from out here and send you to a different planet. You can get out of here." He taps the seat, motioning for he to get in. "Come on."

"What? No! Raker, there's no way I'm leaving you here! We'll have to think of something else."

The chaos outside seems to get louder. People are screaming in the distance and the earth is still shaking from the giant boulders.

Raker looks at me, seriously. "Look if you don't get in now, you might not make it out alive. Don't worry about me. I'll find another pod or something and I'll make sure we end up in the same place, ok?" he smiles. "I'll catch up to you."I look at him worriedly. A trusting grin is spread across his face.

"Ok, fine. As long as you catch up to me. You have to find another pod so you can get out of here, understood?""Understood. Now hurry! Get in!"

I hop in the pod, and Raker closes the door. He presses some buttons, and the inside of the pod lights up. The dashboard is covered in a language I can't understand, not that I could read very well in the first place."Are you ready?" Raker shouts from outside. "Put your hand on the big button in the center!"

I place my palm on the pad, and the ship slowly lifts up. "It's working!" I shout. The pod lifts above the house.

"Yes! Keep your hand there! It'll go forward! I'll catch up to you!" Raker runs outside to watch my ship leave the chaos.

Suddenly a huge slab of concrete comes hurling towards the house."Raker get out of the way!" I scream at him from in the pod but he can't hear me. I keep screaming at him to move, just jump out of the way, but I'm too far. The slab gets closer and my ship get further. "Raker, move!" He still can't hear me.

My ship was too far away too see what happened. I didn't see Raker move, I didn't see where the rock hit, but I heard it. I hear the wood splintering, and the ground give way as the boulder made contact with the house. "NO!" Tears ran down my face.

"Commencing to hyperspace in ten seconds."

I twist around as far as I can to try and see any movement in the rubble, but its too far. I can't see anything.

"5, 4..."

I face forward, and trying to focus on getting out of here.

"...3, 2, 1, hyperspace initiated. Destination, Planet Earth.

The ship lunges forward. Everything around me becomes a blur, things start to get darker. Out of Daxam's atmosphere, I can see the cause of the pandemonium. The entire planet of Krypton has exploded. The whole thing, just gone.

Everything just becomes too much for m to handle. My vision starts to get dark, the world slipping away from me. Wait, no, I can't black out now. But there's no stopping it. I lean back in my seat as everything goes pitch black.
