Authoress' Note: Man I love review's... SO NICE! Sorry this chapter took so long... I've been lazy.
Also I am getting all of my ideas off various movies, anime and world history so yes, if you see something familiar then... yeah. I'm not good at science or chemistry so just bear with my dumbed down explanation of diff things... I don't want any of you science pros shitting me about how I explain things.
A BIG thanks to Mike my beta for correcting all of my horrid mistake's : ) If there IS any, that'll be the spell check on FF... blame it!

Chapter 1: A Picture's worth a thousand words.

During the year 3000 the Earth had been forced into a war with a neighboring galaxy who liked the look of the "blue planet". The war had lasted over 158 years and at long last the humans had resorted to drastic measures
The planet had long since been evacuated and the populous of Earth where living in space colonies around the universe. The world leaders had decided long ago that they could not win the war by hand to hand combat, fire fights and such. So, they used something that would destroy the offending army and rendering the planet useless. It was a new invention that had yet to be tested, a bomb. Not you're average bomb either; it was a new type of weapon borrowed from a race who lived on Saturn's third moon. The technology was close to that of the Atomic bomb, but it was stronger and caused more devastation. When activated the bomb would send out a wave of energy that would wipe out anything and everything in its path. The rate of the explosion was to this day unrecorded, seeing as though those unfortunate people on the planet at the time where killed instantaneously.
Those looking on, had said it had happened in a heart beat. The bomb had been detonated in the world capital, somewhere near the old New York and had spread over the entire globe so quickly, the soldiers on the planet and those who chose to remain on the Earth had not even had time to take in their last breath before their bodies where disintegrated as the wave passed them.
In seconds the Earth was no more than a spinning globe of dirt and bones. All organic life were wiped out. The seas of Earth had been dried out and toxic gas and dust hung heavy in the air, so as to make sure the once blue planet would never again regenerate.
Butler had learnt about the great war at school. If it was anything else in history, he and his class mates would have been uninterested, couldn't really care less. After all, when do children ever take any interest in history?. But the great war of 3000 was different, this war was the reason why they didn't have a planet to call home anymore, why families where torn apart and moved to different corners of the universe. This was when the world of men had come together to fight off the aliens who threatened to take the blue planet over."
But enough about history. Butler was staring at Artemis' picture again, something he had been doing for the past half hour, well, there was nothing else he could do at the moment; the Connier system was a few hours away and sitting in a cramped little police shuttle wasn't what the bounty hunter would call comfortable. Domovoi was a big man and he could hardly fit in these little seats.
For reasons unknown, Butler wasn't allowed to use his precious cruiser. It had some how been damaged in the explosion, so he was stuck with this thing. It didn't go very fast and had a weird smell coming from somewhere near the broom closet. Butler was brave, but he wasn't brave enough to investigate what the heck stank. He would like to dispose of his lunch the right way.
Looking back at the photo, the bounty hunter cocked his head to one side. The kid was pretty, Butler would give him that. But he was young. Sixteen, how dangerous could he be?
If only Domovoi knew.

A small, almost inaudible hiss in the air and a loud thump as something large and heavy hit the ground.
Six men stood around in a semi circle, mouths open eyes wide, their seventh member lying stiff on the hard stone floor of the ally. A black, high heeled (AN: Small heel, not like a women's) leather boot was placed on the man's muscular back.
"I told you guys to leave me alone, but did you listen?" The stranger flicked out one slender hand. A glint of silver and another man fell to the floor. "No,"
The now five men all gulped in unison, turned on their heels and ran down the ally as fast as their legs would carry them.
"Cowards,", the stranger muttered, catching the blade as it flew back into his hand.
Wiping the green blood from the silver surface, the boy slipped the knife back into its holster on his left thigh and walked down the ally way, stepping over the bodies that where sprawled on the ground.
(AN: That's all you get of Artemis for the moment guys and gals. I'm gathering you all knew it was him? If you didn't... woop's.)

"Butler, we are within five minutes of the Connier system, wake up Butler," said a high nasal female voice over the loud speaker.
Butler awoke with a snort and fell off of his tiny chair, landing heavily on the hard tile floor of the cruiser. He glared up at the intercom and stumbled to his feet, looking out of the front window. There was a total of 15 planets in the Connier system and most of them where spinning balls of waste and ice. Not a very nice place to live if you're body couldn't take the 130 0000 below zero temperature the planet's surfaces cooked up. Why the kid wanted to be here was beyond Butler.
"Well, I guess not a lot of people are willing to come here, he must have thought no one would follow,", the hunter muttered, sitting back down. "Too bad he didn't know bounty hunters would do practically anything for money."
He looked back at the picture. Too bad it wasn't a full body shot, Domovoi would've liked to see what the kid carried. Weapons of course. The police never seemed to care for a full body shot. They had their little profile picture's and that was all they needed. Most officers used the excuse that it was hard to get an FBS. (AN: "Full body shot", I was getting tired of using it all the time) Which of course was a load of dung.
If they could get such a perfect picture of the kid's face, then they should be able to manage a little FBS.
Butler grunted. These were the Intergalactic Police, a group of fat, sweet-eating dunder heads who only knew how to point and shoot. Never mind about anything else, like how to take a proper photo.
Butler stuffed the cylinder back into his pocket and sat back, staring blankly out of the window.
The Connier System was looming ever closer and Butler once again began to wonder why Artemis had chosen this place as his hideout.
