Chapter 1: A Ship from the Sky

Kate's Pov:

It was a normal day in the small Arizona town I live in. The bright sun was blazing down, cicadas were buzzing none stop, and here I was sitting on the backyard patio in a relaxed possession watching two people come by on horseback. There was truely nothing out of the ordinary happening, and it made me irritated. With all the peace and quiet going on, I was getting more bored by the minute and praying for something cool to happen. Anything was better than spending my day in the shade with nothing to do. Just as I was about to go inside I heard a large booming sound in the sky.

"BOOM!"

"The hacking heck was that?!" I screamed out.

Then I looked at the sky and saw what looked to be like some sort of aircraft that was smoking coming down fast.

"Oh my God!" I said in disbelief.

I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. An aircraft that looked like it was about to crash was landing in my small town. My prayer for something out of the ordinary came true, but it came as something truely out of the ordinary. I watched as it landed in some trees not too far from where I lived. After seeing it crash, I immediately ran inside and gathered some things to help whoever was on that craft. Whoever was on it was probably hurt or worse, and since I was probably the only one who saw it, I might as well go and offer any assistance I could give and maybe even make some friends. I packed a few things in a bag, wrote a note to my family on where I was heading, and ran out the door to my motorbike. I drove until I was just a short walk away from the crash site and made the rest of way on foot through the brush to meet the people who had crashed there. Once I had made it to the site and saw the craft, my eyes grew to the size of dinner plates in shock. I saw that it wasn't just an ordinary aircraft, but a spaceship no less! I mean I'd figured it to be the clipped off backend of some sort of FedEx or SouthWest Airlines plane, not some kimd of out of this world spacecraft. Not only that, but I couldn't tell if was from our galaxy or someone else's. For all I knew the ship could have a huge group of space terrorists on it, ready to kill any alien infidels that they saw. As my mind raced with thoughts of disbelief and fear, the ships door opened up revealing a redhaired man dressed in some sort of space suit with a black haired women right behind him. As he and the woman stepped out to look around, I did my best to hide among some of the dead mesquite trees I was near. As I kept watching I saw the man open up something on his wrist and hold down a button.

"This is Ranger Johnathan Gama to Star Command, come in Star Command." he said as I listened closely.

"This is Commander Nebula to Ranger Gama, what's you and your partner's status on the damage issue Ranger?"

Ranger Johnathan took a quick look at the ship before speaking again.

"Commander, the ship had a run in with a meteor shower on our return to Star Command, but the damage does not seem to be something me and Ranger Sapphire can't handle."

Ranger Johnathan gave his partner a smile that she too returned.

"Good, see that you two get the damage repaired and get back to Star Command pronto. We got some trouble here and we could use all the help we can muster."

Ranger Johnathan then stood straight and saluted.

"We're on it sir, Ranger Gama out."

He then closed his wrist and turned to Ranger Sapphire.

"Alright Ranger Sapphire, let's get to work. You get the tools while I take a look and see what we're dealing with."

Ranger Sapphire saluted to her partner.

"Yes sir!"

She then ran inside while Ranger Johnathan climbed up to look at the damage. After hearing what was going on, I stood there in utter shock. Rangers?! Star Command?! What the hacking heck was going on?! I continued to watch Ranger Johnathan and Sapphire repair their ship until I got an idea that I thought would of been awesome. Since they were busy, this would give me the perfect chance to take a look at the inside of their ship and get out before any of them knew I was there. I mean getting a chance to see the inside of a spaceship was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me, and with them too busy to focus on anything else made it all the more better. I quickly and quietly came out of my hiding place and snuck inside without disturbing or getting noticed by the Rangers as they worked. Once inside, I looked at all of the cool and awesome things they had. If that wasn't a good time to scream Yolo, I would of been lying. The ship was extremely and absolutely so fricking dope! There were all kinds of gadgets and switches that would of been fun to mess with if it wasn't for the fact I would of been caught if attempted. Not only that, but there were all kinds of weapons in the back of the ship to look at as well. I mean I saw weapons of many different shapes and sizes, wondering just what each one of them could probably do. Of course with all of my gazing and whatnot, I didn't realize that the Rangers had finally just gotten done repairing their ship until I heard the engines start up and the door to the room I was in shut on me.

"Hey!"

I then ran to the door and tried opening it with the button pad next to it to find that it wouldn't open up, so I then began banging on it.

"Hey! Open up! Let me out!"

Outside the door, the two Rangers were obviously to my banging and crys do to the sound of the engines.

"Main thrusters online."

"Crystalic fusion to power."

"Ready for ignition."

Then Ranger Johnathan grabbed a handle like lever and pushed it forward.

"And we're off."

Then the ship lifted off into the air and flew away from the area. The ship rose high and higher until it was in space. Once they had made it into space, Ranger Johnathan turned to his partner.

"Ranger Sapphire, start up the warp drive and buckle up, cause it's gonna get bumpy."

As soon as the command was given, Ranger Sapphire sat down, buckled, and pressed the space jump button, sending the ship zooming out of sight in a blink of an eye. While all of this was happening, I was starting to get scared as I continued banging on the door.

"Please! Let me out! If this is about sneaking on board, I'm sorry! Just please, let me out of here!"

Never in the 21 years that I had lived was I ever so scared for my life. I started crying from how they wouldn't listen and the thought of what was going to happen to me. Just then the ship shifted upward, causing me to fall back and roll into a nearby box.

"AAAAAAAAAH!"

BANG!

"Ow!"

After I hit the box, I felt the ship move upward toward the sky.

"Oh heck no! I can't go into outerspace! Let me out of here! Please!"

As I got back up to go bang on the door again, I then felt the ship shake lightly, causing me to move about a bit. After I gained back my balance, I was just about to hit my fist to the door again when all of a sudden the ship gave a huge shift forward. The shift was so strong that it made me go flying into the back wall and I ended up hitting my head really hard against it causing me to cry out loudly in pain after impact.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

BANG!

"AH!"

Once I hit the wall I fell down to the floor, dizzy and in pain from the blow with a huge gash on my head that started to bleed. Soon I felt myself loose consciousness, and just before I blacked out I prayed for God to help me and keep me safe from whatever I was going to face when I woke up. Little did I know that this was just the start to an adventure of a lifetime.
