I woke up five seconds later with a hint of a headache, but other then that fine. I looked out the view screen and smirked. I'm on my way back to earth, I thought with a hint of irony. The one planet I thought I would never have to come back to.

I put on my seat belt and webbing (a seat belt that tightens it's self to keep you in your seat until the ship lands.) and sighed. A helmet came down and over my head, to protect my eyes and ears. And a metal box closed around the control compartment.

: I hate state-of-the-art-ships...: I sent to my brother, hate dripping from my words.

: Don't we all. : He sent back, a hint of laughter in his voice.

: ...And your not helping things either.: I laughed at his pout. Then the pressure started. My ship started the drop into earth's atmosphere. I had long ago gotten used to it, but it still amazed me how my ship kept together with the drop and all.

Five minutes later the release of the pressure told me that we had landed. The screen and helmet went back to their resting spot, and the webbing released its grip, and returned to it's spot behind my chair. I unhooked my seat belt and got up. Time for my "Vacation", I though, groaning, I hate this idea.

If there's one thing I hate more then taking orders from any one other then my father; it's taking a vacation. I hate having to stay on a planet for more then one month. But dad wants me to take a brake for TWO YEARS!! That's just unheard of!!

Sometimes I wonder about my father sanity, I thought, smirking again. At least I'm lucky enough to feel laughter, and some pain. That's one of the things I have, but other Halfling's don't have any feelings.

I walked out of the ship, turned and pressed a few buttons. My ship dug itself into the ground, slowly shutting itself down, and only keeping on the controller, that waited for me for me to call it up later.

I put the small ordinary looking controller into one of my Kirean Pocket capsules. Like the earth capsules, only smaller.

Four other ships landed next to mine, an eagle shaped one, a dragon one and a watch shaped one. (Freaky, Huh?) Out of the eagle, walked Asher, Aries, Rocky, and Kira. Out of the Dragon came Nora, her sister Kelly and Casey. And my brother was the only one to walk out of his Watch ship.

"Some things never change, right big bro?" I called, as my brother, Rocky and Kira sent their ships down as well.

"I guess. But what are we to do with those power levels coming towards us?" He asked.

I stood still for a moment, then turned to him, "Nothing, they are weak enough that is they try anything we could take them down without transforming. But I don't want to have to we can stop them from fighting us." I stated, looking towards the sky I then turned and tossed out another capsule, a cloak appeared, and it's deep gold bringing out the gold trim of my gi. I put it on as I turned, the others quikly followed suit. Timers black gi brought out the white trim of his gi, Kira's purple cloak matched her purple gi, Rocky was wearing his same gi and cloak from ten years ago, just like Casey, and Asher. (In Rocky case, brown with emerald stripes. Casey gold with white trim, and Asher, red with golden trim.). Aries wore her blue gi with white and light green trim. Nora wore her normal deep ocean blue and sea green gi and cloak, and her sister Kelly wore her brazen halter-top and tight pants. All of them coal black. She's the controller of darkness. And not a person to get angry, and since we don't get along nicely, we try to avoid each other.

"Lady Catherine." Kira said, knelling, all the others followed suit, other then my brother. He bowed to me, and I returned it.

"Princess Catherine." He stated.

"Prince Chris." I stated back.

We then walked side by side to were the others stood.

"You may rise. Prince Chris will take half of you off to one side of the planet, I will take the others to the other side." I stated, after asking my brother to make sure it was okay.

"I will take my normal team. If I may?" My brother said.

I nodded and he, Kelly, Kira, and Nora took off, to his side of the planet, to a wait for our Vacation to be over.

After talking it over, Casey left to find a place to stay, and the others left to train, leaving me to mediate.

I find that, although it won't help me raise my power level, it clears my thoughts…
