I decided to post this story that I started back around 2005-2006, it's the first story I ever tried to write so it might seem childish to some but I thought it was great back then. :P Anyhoo, I never got around to finishing it but I do have a few chapters done for it. I'll post them after I post this prologue. Oh and you'll have to excuse the blatant Final Fantasy X references in here, I'd recently finished playing the game and these references where what popped into my head.
PROLOGUE: The Beggining
In the coldness of space, the transport vessel Terragon flies towards a deep space scientific station, orbiting the small moon of Ixion, near the planet Spira.
The ship comes in on its normal approach vector,
"Station Tidus, this is captain Flagg of the transport ship Terragon, request permission to dock."
The com-link is filled with static until finaly there is a response,
"Welcome back captain Flagg. You're gonna have to wait for a while before you can dock I'm afraid."
Captain Flagg impatiantly taps his index finger on the console,
"And why do we have to wait? I've got important people and cargo that need to be on that station right now."
There's a long pause before the technition answers,
"I'm sorry sir, but we've been having electrical problems all morning, and it's affecting all the systems on the station."
Flagg looks at his co-pilot, a red headed young woman who looks like she just graduated from the academy,
"Well Hooks, looks like we're stuck waiting out here."
Commander Hooks looks at the captain, with a look that you'd give a two year old,
"I'm well aware of that sir."
Captain Flagg smiles at Hooks,
"I'm going to go back and let our guests know what's happening. So you're in charge up here, don't screw up."
Hooks rolls her eyes,
"I'll try and do my best, old man."
Flagg winks and smiles at Hooks, and then walks through the access door in the back of the cabin. Captain Flagg walks back to the passenger compartment where the three scientists that are to be dropped off at the station are waiting,
"Sorry folks, looks like they're having some kind of electrical trouble aboard the Tidus, so we won't be docking for a little while."
One of the scientists stands, Dr. Sam Olsan an older gentleman who appears to be in his fifties,
"How long are we supposed to wait? Their's important research material that I need to deliver."
"Well I..." Captain Flagg is unable to finish his sentence because he is thrown to the ground by a tremendous force that shakes the whole ship.
"Captain get up here now!"
Commander Hooks sceams this into the intercom system, and Flagg jumps to his feet running for the cockpit.
"What in the hell is goin' on Hooks?" Flagg asks as he rushes into the cockpit.
But then he looks outside and sees the horror that's unfolding, outside the station is breaking apart, rocked by small explosions knocking chunks of it off. Captain Flagg shudders as he sees people pouring out of the station, sucked out by the sudden loss of preasure.
"Get over there, we have to help them!"
Commander Hooks says turning to the captain, Flagg shakes his head,
"You know as well as I do that there's nothing we can do for them." Captain Flagg then lowers his head and Hooks just looks at him,
"Well we have to do something!"
Flagg tries to respond but is cut off by the station exploding, the shockwave sends the Terragon spinning end over end. Hooks grabs the controls and after a few minutes is finaly able to bring the ship under control, she then looks back to see if captain Flagg is alright, he's on the ground against the wall, she thinks the worst until she sees him finaly look up and rub his head. Finaly captain Flagg stands,
"What in the name of all that's holy just caused that?"
Commander Hooks looks at him shaking her head,
"I don't know." The two stand in silence until the intercom crackles to life,
"Captain this is Landers, you better get back here to the cargo hold. There's somethin' weird goin' on outside."
Captain Flagg sighs and then makes his way back to the cargo hold. When captain Flagg reaches the cargo hold, he sees his engineer, Landers and the three scientists looking out a window in the rear hatch. He walks up to them slowly and looks at Landers,
"What's up?"
Landers looks at him with wide eyes, "Look outside, where the station used to be."
Captain Flagg looks out the window and his jaw drops, where Tidus used to be there's now some kind of strange anomoly accuring, it almost looks like a tear in space itself. It begins to expand and then suddenly closes, and all that's left is just fragments from the destroyed space station.
Captain Flagg steps away from the window looking down at the floor,
"What the the hell was that?" Flagg thinks outloud.
Landers looks at one of the scientists,
"Any ideas doc?" Dr. Olsan looks at Landers,
"I've no idea what that was, I've never seen anything like it." The five men stand there pondering what they've just seen, when the intercom came to life with Hooks' voice,
"Captain, the radar just picked up a ship heading our way from Tidus' direction." Flagg rushes up to the window to see if it's an escape shuttle from the station, but what he sees is to large to be an escape shuttle and it's going to slow almost as if it's just drifting in space.
Captain Flagg radios Hooks, "Bring us around, and get as close as you can to that ship, I'm coming back up."
Captain Flagg reaches the cockpit just as they reach the mystery ship,
"Can you make out any markings Hooks?" she shakes her head,
"No, but it looks like there's something above the cockpit." Hooks brings the Terragon up to an angle were they can see what the mark is,
"It looks like some kind of insignia." Captain Flagg walks up to the veiw port for a better look and then his eyes go wide with recognition.
"What're they doing here?" Flagg asks as he looks at Hooks.
Hooks looks at Flagg with a puzzled look on her face, then she looks back at the insignia and is finaly able to make it out, the both of them look at each other and together say,
"Autobots."
Well that's the prologue, let me know what you think after I get the other chapters posted and let me know if you think I should continue with this?
