A few hours passed before the door opened up again. Olivia immediately stood up, ready to put their plan into action. What met her eyes made it completely evaporate. There were four of the things, all of more muscle than most. Two of them were holding pieces of rope, two were holding guns.

"Come here," one of them said forcefully. Olivia stayed put. "I said, come here," it repeated. "Or we'll shoot you." Sarah got up off her bed, grabbed Olivia's arm, and pulled her towards the door.

"Alright, we're here. What do you want?" Sarah asked, her voice shaky.

"Well need you to turn around, and put your hands behind your back."

Olivia cast Sarah a glance, then did as she was told. She felt her hands being bound with the rope, and smiled. She was an expert at undoing knots. After her hands had been tied, she was jerked around, and positioned to walk in front of one of the aliens with a gun. She felt the tip of it pressed into her back, and knew that if she tried anything, she'd be shot and killed. From the corner of her eye, she could see that Sarah was in the exact same position as her.

The aliens led them down a series of hallways, to a different room. They were shoved inside, but were accompanied by the aliens this time. There were more lining the walls of the room.

The room was large, with tall, metal walls. There were shelves lining a few of the walls, all filled with varying items of destruction, experiments, and tests. There were things that were obviously meant to be bombs. There were vials filled with sickly colored liquids. There were countless tools, most that Olivia wouldn't know the function of. In the center of the room, there was a wide glass tube, going from ceiling to floor. It was filled with a purple-pink substance that looked like gas. With a closer look, Olivia spotted a large, rectangular outline, and figured that this was where the chamber opened.

"Uh, what's that?" Sarah asked, looking at one of the aliens.

"It's our converter," one to the left said as if it expected her to know what that was.

"And, um, what's that?" Sarah asked, sounding nervous.

"Changes humans into one of us," another alien said.

"Why do you need to change humans though?" Olivia asked, keeping her eye on the converter.

"Because we can't breed. We've lost all of our female population, and need new ones," the first alien said.

"So, uh, why'd you choose us exactly?" Sarah asked, her voice going up an octave.

"Because you're female."

"Doesn't mean we'll submit," Olivia said, narrowing her eyes.

"We'll see."

Olivia and Sarah were shoved forward, and their eyes met. Olivia gave a small nod, then quickly undid her bindings. Sarah had undone hers too.

Both the girls turned around, running for the doors. Olivia heard the shot of a gun from behind her, and screamed "DUCK!" She hit the ground, and once she saw the laser hit the opposite wall, she got back up. "Lead the way, Sarah!" she shouted. Sarah to the lead, and started running down corridors, apparently knowing where she was going. Olivia followed, trusting her judgment. She kept her eyes and ears open for the sign of a gunshot. The aliens were a little bit behind, having been shocked at their sudden escape. They were however, close enough to get a good shot. Olivia continuously dodged the lasers, knowing they were only aiming for her, and not Sarah.

"There!" Olivia heard Sarah shout. She looked ahead of her and saw the door they'd originally come through when they'd first entered the ship. Olivia sighed in relief and turned her back on the aliens, her mind set on getting out. Just as she reached the door, she heard a gunshot, and ducked, but didn't see it fly over her head. The door of the ships opened, and she stepped out, stopping when she hit the roof of a building the ship had clearly landed on. She spun around and saw Sarah lying motionless. She had managed to get off of the ship, but hadn't been able to dodge the red laser that had come at her. Just as Olivia had finished taking this in, she heard too more shots, and was unable to react quick enough. Both red lasers came right at her, hitting her square in the chest. She felt herself falling, then blacked out.

After the battle with the aliens, Joey had been taken to the hospital because Joe swore there had been a pulse. The doctors had confirmed that he was still alive, and had just been knocked out. After waking up, he'd been allowed to leave, and all the Starkids were trying to find the alien spaceship. Joe had almost broken down at the loss of Sarah, but refused to give in, knowing he'd get her back. All the Starkids were giving their best efforts to track the spaceship, but it was proving to be harder than it seemed.

Joey and Joe had left to take a break when they spotted it on the roof of a building. They heard the sound of the lasers, and immediately ran towards the building. Joe ran around to the back of the building, where there was sure to be a ladder. He climbed up, followed by Joey, and what they saw was not pretty.

Sarah was laying in front of the spaceship, motionless. There was an alien in the doorway, and Olivia was standing, eyes wide. Just when Joey managed to get on the roof, two red lasers hit Olivia in the chest, and she fell to the ground. "Olivia!" Joey shouted, running forward.

"Joey! We need to get out of here!" Joe shouted, running towards Sarah. The alien was about to shoot again, but Joe managed to stop it by throwing a fist in its face.

The alien fell backwards, and the doors to the spaceship closed. Joe slid his arms under Sarah's body, and picked her up. Joey did the same, but with Olivia. They both walked over to the ladder, but froze there. "How are we gonna get them down?" Joey asked, looking down at the alley.

"Like this," Joe muttered. He threw Sarah over his shoulder and climbed down the ladder. She seemed unharmed, or as unharmed as a person who'd just gotten out of an alien spaceship could look. Joey, though he didn't want to be so unceremonious, did the same. Once he was on stable ground again, he examined Olivia, making sure he hadn't hurt her.

"Alright, let's get out of here," Joey said, picking Olivia up again.

The boys carried them out of the alley, and to the closest hospital, which wasn't too far from there.
