Disclaimer: I won the plot and most of the characters in this fanfic, though there are references to events in the games and in the books.
A/N: Udestae (OO deh stay)
Kylpirsva (kill PERS vah)
The morning bell sounded at the same time as it had all month. Udestae and Kylpirsva automatically walked down to the breakfast area and sat there waiting for it to end.
'Attention all prisoners!' a voice said over the intercom. 'We will be docking in the colony of Bardon within the next hour. Please return to your cells and await further instruction there.'
The prisoners did as commanded. Udestae and Kylpirsva sat in their cells and began to talk to pass the time more quickly.
"So," Kylpirsva began, "what do you think it will be like being off this ship?"
"Probably not that different. We will still be prisoners. We'll be brought straight to some Terran jail I expect."
"Oh no, we won't. I have a plan."
Udestae gave Kylpirsva a funny look. "What kind of plan?"
"You'll see," Kylpirsva said with an evil grin on his face. "All you have to do, is promise that you will follow my orders when the time comes."
Udestae was confused. "When what time comes?"
"Just promise!"
"Okay, fine. I promise, though you're not making any sense."
A marine walked over to their cell soon after Udestae said that. "We've landed," the marine said as he opened the cell door. "Follow me."
They followed him through the ship to the exit ramp, where they met up with the Terran prisoners that were onboard. The ramp opened with a loud creak. Blinding light flowed into the ship. Udestae shielded his eyes until they adjusted. The prisoners walked down the ramp to see humongous buildings in the distance. They all assumed they were on some military base outside the city. Humongous forces of Terran infantry were everywhere. The sky was covered with wraiths and battlecruisers that circled the gigantic city.
Udestae stared in amazement. Kylpirsva got his evil grin back.
"Udestae," he whispered. "Grab hold of my hand."
"Why?"
"Just grab hold!"
Udestae complied. He grasped Kylpirsva's hand tightly. Immediately after he did, he felt faint; as if his life was being sucked right out of him. He looked over at Kylpirsva, only, Kylpirsva was barely visible. An extremely bright light emanated from where he stood. Not only was there light, but Udestae felt a great wave of heat engulf him. Udestae heard an explosion and immediately shot his gaze up to the sky. Lightning bolts blasted through every aircraft, disintegrating them all in seconds. The humans stared in horror as the lightning bolts shot past the aircrafts and towards the city. Udestae wasn't able to watch the light show for long. Kylpirsva began to drag him in the direction of what appeared to be the main docking station, about 60 yards away.
"Now's our chance to get out of here, Ude!" he said.
"I feel weak Kyl. I don't think I can walk."
"Don't worry about that, I'll explain it when we get to safety. For now, I'll have to carry you."
With that, Kylpirsva picked up Udestae and ran to the nearest aircraft. It looked too small to fit both of them, but Kylpirsva assured Udestae that it would get them away quicker than any other ship could. They crammed themselves into the tiny, one-man cockpit. Kylpirsva expertly grabbed the controls and lifted off. Moving like an expert, Kylpirsva maneuvered around the stationary ships out of the docking bay and out into the storm. Kylpirsva sped the craft up to top speed and soared away from the planet.
Udestae felt extremely woozy. The cockpit began to spin. Then, all went black.
A/N: This one is a little better than the last chapter. Thanks to all my (okay...two) reviewers. I will update soon.
