Search For Salvation – Prologue
The world had changed. It had evolved and it had thrived, only to perish into a desolate waste land. We mined the earth to its deepest depths and robbed it of its oil, coal and water. We cut down the trees to build our shopping malls and bigger skyscrapers, or housing developments without ever blinking an eye.
The world had moved onto other planets to be terraformed. The world's population depleted as we learned that harsh chemicals from the planet's atmosphere's caused our women to become infertile. Less and less children were born until only one or two made it to term in a ten year span only to be born deformed or never making it from the womb alive.
The older generations were now dying off and the numbers steadily went down until only a few thousand remained. The youngest child was fifteen and the oldest adults were in their thirties. Now the planet had been hit by some unknown illness that was spreading rapidly in the adults. The numbers were decreasing at a terrifying pace.
Now the parents banded together in desperation of saving their children in the hopes one day they would be able to rebuild. An evil lord had taken over the planets and had grounded all ships. The only way to do things now was through money or power. The lord himself was sick with the illness but still people feared him.
The Uchiha's were the richest family of the three planets. They easily paid for their nephew and two sons' freedom. A ship had been secured and a pilot and crew as well. The evil lord had made it impossible for the other teenagers to leave the planets, even though the Uchiha's could afford to free all the teens on the planets.
Lord Orochimaru was a ruthless man and not a bit kind at heart. He had no intentions of saving the population, he was all too happy to watch it die off so it was easier to control. Even as death approached the lord he refused to give an inch. His bodyguards were all too happy to beat up a teenager or a woman if necessary.
Today was the day that the Uchiha's would be leaving this godforsaken planet. They had said their goodbyes and were now getting ready to board the ship. There were some last minute things they needed to do before leaving. All they had to do was not get caught.
