I had survived 'Encounter Day' as it has become known.

Not for one moment did I believe I would survive the crash once I had put the controls into a nose dive.

The alien sub-commander had grabbed at me; even with her superhuman strength and speed she could not right the aircraft. In the split second that I felt the nose cone contact the alien spaceship she turned and charged at me her eye blazing with anger as she grabbed me.

Pain, my back and arms collided with the fuselage, I saw a fiery glow in her eyes and blacked out.

I awoke what must have been only moments later for I saw the alien craft sucked into oblivion.

Turning my head I saw her standing over me, her body turned to watch her ship disappear.

She looked down at me, I could not help but laugh in her face.

We lowly humans had defeated her race while they had held all the cards.

She looked down at me as her visor flickered and disengaged.

At the time I knew not why, but she dropped to the ground and screamed. Grabbing at her throat as if choking.

She stumbled; falling towards the edge of the structure we had landed on.

Another thing I do not know is why, but I grabbed for her as she fell over the side. My arm was torn to shreds by her no less but I grabbed for her as she fell.

With my fingers wrapped around her wrist she just hung there, me supporting her quiet immense weight until she realised how stupid it was and easily pulled herself up one-handed.

I rolled onto my back panting looking up at her again. I know I saw her smile before I blacked out again.
