"Are you sure we could give this stuff to the human fools?" said a alien voice

"We have to. What if it kills one of our good troops." said another voice

"Your right."

Aarin opened his eyes slowly. Every thing slid into focus. He felt something cold and hard on his face

He got up, and look on the ground and saw a metal floor. He looked around and found two Skaarj. One of them was holding a needle. The Skaarj walked towards him and injected something. Aarin tried to jerk away but it was to late. He felt the liquid go in to his veins and through his whole body. All his wounds suddenly healed and he felt better and...stronger. The Skaarj took the needle out of his arm.

"Why are you giving me this?It made me stronger." Aarin asked "You are being tested with a strange Nali water that seem to give lifeforms incredible strength, agility, and speed," replied the Skaarj. "Since the test was successful, we'll let you die so you won't be able to use your powers against us." The two Skaarj walked through the door and locked it. "You stupid bitches! Get me out of here!" yelled out Aarin. Then he heard loud footsteps coming from a large door. The door bursted opened and a Titan ran out, holding one large boulder and threw it towards Aaron.

"Crap!" yelled out Aarin as he was dodging the large rocks that were flying towards him. "I have to do something about this Titan and fast!" said Aarin. Then he grabbed one of the small rocks and threw it at the top observation windows. He heard a loud shattering and ran towards the Titan. It threw it's fist at Aaron but he jump up and landed on it's arm and grabbed it back. The Titan tried to

throw Aarin off it's back but Aarin was holding it's back hard . Then Aarin released it's back and jumped in the air towards the broken window. Wow, he thought This stuff made me jump higher too. He landed right through the window. The Skaarj earlier raised their weapon at Aaron. Aaron ran to one of the Skaarj, grabbed it's neck and snapped it. He quickly picked up the rifle and made a quick shot on the Skaarj's head. The lifeless body fell to the floor. Why give me this stuff? Aaron thought. He checked

the room but nothing important was found. But something caught his eyes, a map? He picked it up and wiped off the blood that was stained on it. It seemed to be a map to the real Skaarj base, but how to get

there? I need to find a ship or a pod to get to the base Aaron thought. He checked the room carefully for a way to the hanger bay.

Aarin checked one of the computers to locate the hanger bay. Finally he found the location and made his through the hanger bay. As he ran through the corridor , three Skaarj were running towards him,but something was strange about them, they had a red aura surrounding their bodies. "Dammit!" said Aaron he knew that the Skaarj are now using the Nali water on their troops. He took the Skaarj rifle out and shot two small beams at the running Skaarj. The two beams hit one Skaarj

but did no affect. The Skaarj returned fire with plasma beams at him. Aarin was able to dodge two of the beams but hit him on the chest. He thought that would've killed him but only caused him pain. He fired two more rounds of the Skaarj rifle. This time the beams were able to penetrate through the

red aura, towards the Skaarj's chest, killing it. Aaron, this time had the upper hand. He knew the red aura was a shield but they were as strong as him. Two of the Skaarj ran towards him, tackling him down to the ground. Aarin fell to the ground hard, coughing out blood. He got up, wiped blood off of his lip. He took the rifle out and pulled the trigger but all he heard was a click. He threw down the gun and ran towards the Skaarj. He tackled it down hard to the floor. The other Skaarj pointed the rifle on his head. Aarin grabbed the rifle, threw his right fist down on Skaarj's arm. He heard a loud cracking sound meaning that he broke the Skaarj's arm. It dropped the rifle, roaring in pain. Aarin picked it up and slammed the butt of the rifle in the Skaarj's face. Finally, the Skaarj fell to the floor. As Aarin walked away from the lifeless bodies, one of the tackled Skaarj ran towards but Aaron turn around and pointed the rifle in the Skaarj's face, "Shit.." said the Skaarj. Aarin pulled the trigger and the Skaarj's head was reduced to a cloud of blood and several pieces of it's skull flew every where. "And stay down." said Aarin.
