Chapter 1
"Hey! Wake up, Alto!" "Uh, What time is it?" Alto said hazily. "Oh, you know, just around three in the morning!" Klan klein yelled. "Why were you in a bar all night long!" "I, err... I think I was drinking cause I was sad?" He replied, questioningly. "Don't tell me, you're sad because Ranka is on the Galaxy 2 while you're stuck here all alone?" she asked. " And I don't get to see her again until the 27th." "you idiot, today is the 27th!" She yelled. "Wha-! Oh man she is gonna be pissed that I look so bad!" Alto quickly grabbed his stuff and Klan klein dragged him out the door. When he got back to his room, he took a long shower, which was freezing cold, thanks to Luca, then got his casuals on and he left for the docking bay. " Man, only three more hours 'till Ranka comes home. I hope she even remembers me, after 7 months off ship, I hope she isn't dating someone else too! Aw, Damn! Maybe I should have used deodorant." he said. suddenly his phone went off. "Alto It's Luca! We've got some kind of rogue vajra attacking the dome! I know we're stationed on the planet and the frontier is floating in orbit right now, but theres still civilian safety to think about!" "Dammit, at a time like this. Ok! Be right there! prep my valkyrie for me will ya?"he said and changed his flight patterns towards the makeshift outpost. Meanwhile Ranka had just docked in the frontier. "So Brera, do you think that Alto will be waiting for me like he said he was going to?" she asked her older brother. "If he really cares he will." Suddenly a group of black vajra flew past the dock, obliterating the transport that they had been on moments ago. " Wh-What is going on!" she screamed, as SMS planes flew past the dock taking chase of the attackers. "Alto! Don't get hurt!" she said. "Ranka, I must go help them out,but I will be back shortly." He said, running to get to his valkyrie. "Skull 4, Alto, watch out, there's a lot of those bastards on approach." Alto was making his way past the dome, where he saw Ranka watching him. "got it, and-" he was cut off, as a large energy round shot through his plane. " Alto! Eject!" Luca yelled over the channel. "the damn thing is jamed I cant get out!" he yelled. "Alto! NO!" Ranka yelled. Alto's plane detonated in a ball of fire. "NO! ALTO!" Klan klein yelled. His plane's debris showered the shell of the orb, undamaging its surface. " get a hold of yourselves! We have a job to do and we have no idea whether or not he got out, so dont let your spirits down just yet!" Ozma said. "J-Just like Michael..." Klan said. "...Get focused captain!"
