Please review if you're interested in this story so I know to continue. I do accept criticism but please let it be constructive, I want to learn from my mistakes.

Prologue
The wind blew furiously in the night as a strange ship landed on Veridian 3.
Two creatures started to materialize in front of remains of a ship. The mechanical corpse of what seemed to be the Enterprise D lay there in the middle of a dry plain, untouched by beings from what was assumed to be years.
The two creatures began walking through the wreckage. Searching.
All was quiet for the exception of mechanical noises coming from the beings themselves. However, these noises were not intentionally made; it was a part of who they were. These creatures were half organic and robotic. Their skin was ghostly and limbs were mostly threatening, dangerous weapons. They were the Borg.
The two Borg split up, rummaging through the debris.
"Did you find him Grestin?" asked one creature to the other as an hour passed.
"No sir I haven't" said the Borg called Grestin, who was sifting through the rubble of what used to be Lt. Commander Data's corridors. "The Federation must have-" Grestin stopped as he came upon what looked to be an Android's disassembled body. "Crosis!" he called to his partner "Crosis! I found him! I found the One!"
Crosis smiled. "Let's beam him up."
Chapter 1: Multiple Losses
2 Years Later
The lights flashed a sickly red color as the sirens screamed.
"Red Alert, all personnel to stations." cried Commander Daniels of USS Vera over all the speakers. "The Borg are attacking, I repeat the Borg are attacking, all other residents on board escape pods immediately."
Four year old Jovie Saunders trembled as she hid under her bed. Her light brown hair hiding her hazel eyes. Where as her mom? The ship kept shaking violently every five minuets making the eight year old grasp a leg of her bed tightly. She was too afraid to move.
What was happening? She was too afraid to even think of a circumstance. Her mother had warned her about Red Alerts like this. She said to do what the Captain ordered. All other residents on board escape pods immediately. But she couldn't not with out her mom; she was the only family Jovie had.
A boy came through her corridor's door. He was searching the premises with his green eyes.
" Ryan!" cried the little girl bolting toward the boy, "I'm glad you're here! Where's my mom?"
"It's all right Joey," Ryan said hastily, "Look we have to make it to the escape pods, hurry!"
He picked up the child.
"No!"
Jovie squirmed, "Not without my mom!"
"Jo we have no time for this! She'll be ok!"
Ryan led her through dark corridors pausing once and a while to hide behind things from passing Borg.
They had one more deck to pass. They were close to the pods, very close.
Jovie shivered, fear had overwhelmed her.
"Don't worry Jo." said Ryan looked very tense, "We're almost there."
He then started to again race down a corridor.
A phaser shot was heard as a bright light flashed narrowly passed Jovie's head.
She screamed.
Ryan spun around and faced in the direction of the shot.
Out of the deadly darkness, a Borg appeared smirking. The Borg then raised his phaser up above Ryan and Jovie.
The two looked up to see a damaged beam about ready to fall. Before they could even process the thought of what was happening, the Borg's phaser shot it down.
Out of instinct, Ryan tried to dive away, throwing Jovie out of the way. She flew landing on the floor. Shaking off the pain she ran toward her wounded friend. No movement. Nothing. He's dead. She thought, NO! He can't be. He'll wake up soon!
She continuously shook him but Ryan didn't move.
Footsteps called to her attention from behind her. She spun around seeing the same Borg who had killed Ryan coming at her. She tried to dodge the phaser's spit but failed.
"Stop!" came a voice from behind the Borg.
Too late, the light skimmed against the flesh of her face as Jovie rammed her head against the wall knocking her unconscious. She blinked once seeing golden skinned man with her blurry and bloody vision, bending over her. She felt him scooping her up. Darkness and coldness consumed her and she knew no more...
