Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Rain fell from the sky as harsh wind blew through an empty town. The beings that lived there gone.
Pitter. Patter. Pitter Patter.
A lone figure raced through an alleyway, trying to conceal itself and what is in its arms. Lightning flashed as the figure made a sharp right into a different alley.

CRASH!
The figure hit the ground in a roll as a large object sailed over its head. The figure whipped it's head around, revealing a robotic face. It was a female Quartonian. She immediately got to her feet and raced out of the alleyway only for-
Boom
The Quartonian cried out as a gunshot rang through out the area. She hit the ground hard, but did not move.

"Mama?"
A tiny, innocent voice asked. Shifting was seen beneath the dead female Quartonian as a tiny body pulled itself out from beneath.
"Mama? Wake up!"
The tiny Quartonian began to cry as the female Quartonian continued to not move. The little one continued to cry until...
"Do not be afraid little one."
A calm, deep voice filled the air. White light began to fill the alleyway as the little one let out a sniffle. The little figure suddenly felt gentle arms sweep it off the ground and hold it tightly yet gently to the strange male Quartonians chest.
"Everything is going to be all right now."
Lightning flashed in the sky, and the three Quartonians were gone.
