The Hundra

Fronzek still couldn't believe his eyes. He had always wondered who drove the ship but never thought in a million light years that it would be his own mother.

It looked as though she had been crying as her face was blotchy and her cheeks were wet and shiny.

"This may be some big news for you Fronzek because I hadn't told you because I didn't want you to tell all your friends at school but now I think you're old enough to know that your mother is in fact the captain and spends all her time here when you are up and about all over the ship, I am a secret captain and no one outside of the control or sub-control room knows that I am their captain. Anyway back to business, I have been talking all morning about our situation in the war or the new age battle, as some of our scientists call it, and I have agreed to let you go to war so they have my approval all they need now is yours, with you it will be a lot easier and we will be sure to win but again the decision and the new age for our people lies in your hands" Fronzek looked at his hand for some kind of joke but no one even showed a giggle.

"When are you coming home?" asked Fronzek. Everyone looked at him angrily.

"Not until later, Fronzek, for now they need me here to explain our situation, think about the army" she turned back to the Morgraz star and, now Fronzek had noticed, there were hundreds of ships all circling the planet. We can't lose he thought to himself as he walked out the room again with Isgral walking beside him; this was the toughest decision he had to make.

He walked back to his flat; Isgral had abandoned him at the sub-control room. Fronzek went to the kitchen first to prepare himself some lunch. He then slowly walked to his room to look at the newspaper to see a picture of a Hundran army man. Is this my destiny in life? He thought I have always been a risk taker and I do have an amazing ability but on the other hand I may never see my mother again.

After much well thought thinking he finally came to a conclusion.

"I'll do it" he whispered to himself as he thought of himself as a Hundran hero. Moments later the flat did not only contain him as the door opened, Fronzek opened it a crack to see his mother at the door I thought it might have been the guard he thought and he opened his own door to greet her.

She looked down "have you come to a decision yet?" she asked. Fronzek nodded, he noticed a tear roll down the side of her face "so you'll do it?" Fronzek looked down and then nodded again. She turned away still crying and said the pod leaves in the morning be ready, she then walked out of the room and Fronzek turned to head for bed.

The morning came too quickly for Fronzek, he had a hard time getting out of bed until his mother called him for his breakfast, he quickly got changed and then headed for the front room.

"GOOD LUCK, FRONZEK" shouted the room, Fronzek jumped as he saw all his neighbours, Dorax, Utgell, Virgre, Humnen, Jagshar, Kihstrut, Norwell and Isgral, It was a surprise party for his army duties.

They all stared at him until he replied "thank you" Fronzek sounded a bit frightened to see all his neighbours before he had even had breakfast. They all approached him and gave a small cry and something to say, all cried except for Isgral and Dorax who only talked to other people. Next to talk to Fronzek was Dorax, he approached.

"Fronzek, you have always been like a son to me as I talk to you in the mornings, I have never had a son before but you are the closest anyone comes to it and I hope to see you in the future, you will never truly be gone to us and...an..." he started to cry and couldn't finish the sentence. The last up was Isgral.

"Fronzek, you are a true Hundre to do what you are doing right now you must want your species to live and thrive on our planet once more, I have only seen you once and for some reason I liked you as a friend or brother the minute I laid my eyes on you, I will be talking to you all the time you are on this planet to make sure you are safe and in your primary location, thank you so much Fronzek".

"To Fronzek" shouted Utgell holding a huge hamburger in the air then taking a mighty chunk out of the side. Fronzeks mother approached him quickly.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked quickly.

"I've got to do this for the Hundre, I can't back down now" he exclaimed as he looked at all the people in the room. "This is for the Hundran children of the future" he said as he looked to the floor and a few drops of water dripped from his eyes and on his lap.

About an hour passed before the first guest left, Dorax, left for his mail duties. Then a lot left about five minutes after him leaving Fronzek and his mother left alone. Fronzeks mother came to him once the last person left.

"Goodbye, Fronzek" she started "I just wanted to say I have always been proud of you for everything you've done even when you have caused a lot of mischief, I have always appreciated you being different and I hope you will be ok through this adventure, you do know you will definitely come back with some injuries right?" Fronzek nodded "good, I just wanted to make sure you know what you're doing. You know you have the support of all of our ship and all of the Hundre" Fronzek nodded again.

"Thank you" he replied "for everything you've done even while running the ship all on your hands, just thank you" Fronzeks mother started to cry and jump on him for maybe one last hug before he took off for this amazing and brutal journey.

"Well then, let's go" she said now standing up to walk out the door.

"What about my stuff?" he asked, she stopped and turned.

"What would you need, it's all on the Hundra?" she replied. Fronzek thought for a moment.

"Good point" he sighed "let's go" he stood and walked to the door after his mother taking one last look at his home for twenty years and walked slowly out the front door to his unpredictable future.

The hall was empty, except for Dorax bringing round the daily newspaper again; it was dark as he walked down the hallway with his mother at his side.

"Did I ever tell you it was your father that fought in the first war we tried, they never found his body so he was presumed dead" said Fronzeks mother as she walked slower and slower down the hall.

After the long journey to the ships P.O.D floor (puny old dominator) he had to say goodbye to his amazing mother, she jumped in again for 1 last hug before letting him go off into the pod and let him go and be a man. This was the greatest adventure Fronzek had ever been on and he knew in his heart he would never see his mother again so he cried and walked into the small pod with Isgral by his side and another man who he had never seen before.

"Goodbye, my son" said Fronzeks mother as she waved with both hands and not using one to dry off her soaked tears. Fronzek pressed his face to the pod glass and stared at his mother, he then had an idea. With a flick of his wrist he made the tears spell the words 'bye mum, I'll see you again someday, never forget me' she looked back at her son drifting further from herself to the deep space and eventually to the dangerous planet, she said something Fronzek couldn't hear but could make out from the gesture in her words 'I'll never forget you, war hero' he smiled at her and took his seat once more in the pod.

"So what's your name?"Asked Fronzek trying to make conversation to the stranger, he noticed he was shaking from fright but Fronzek was not that bothered by it as much as him.

"S...S...Sungray", he replied to Fronzek now nodding.

"My name's Fronzek, I'm here for my super rare ability and I'm missing my mum already" said Fronzek now lay back in his stone seat.

"At least you have a mother, or even people who care about you, because I have no one. That's why I have this job and it is also why I am grumpy a lot of the time, my parents were killed by execution when they were accused of beating the plumber with a rock hard leather pipe, but they were not guilty, I saw a small man kill him then run off and my dad picked up the pipe and my mother was accused as well" said Isgral as she stared out the window to see the Hundra come slowly into view.

"All I said was that I miss my mum, I just wanted to start conversation", said Fronzek "and I don't understand anything you just said".

"Just forget it", ordered Isgral "it's not important" she sighed as the Hundra was getting bigger and bigger each second.

Another pod had blasted from the Hundran. Fronzek tried to get a good view of who it was, immediately he saw a tall crown" it's the emperor" he shouted. They all turned to see, "what's he doing? Where is he going?" asked Fronzek.

"Well he's not really going to stay on the Hundra while it goes to war is he, Fronzek, he's going to our ship" Isgral sounded very snooty and sungray was very quiet in the corner, a slight squeak and whimper every few seconds.

"I think we can be great friends" said Fronzek "we're all in a little group at the moment and we need each other to survive the war, what do you say, pals?" Fronzek crossed his arms to point at Isgral and sungray, they both hesitated then shook slowly and they all sighed as they sat in the cramped pod.

"When do we get out of here?" asked Fronzek staring at the approaching Hundra.

"Soon" said Isgral "very very soon". She looked to the floor and scratched her head. "I can't wait to get out, apparently I heard that we get welcomed as heroes and get a great bed and banquet before the journey, I don't know if I will get it because I will be in the control room collecting transmissions from you" she pointed at Fronzek "and a lot of the other Hundre".

The pod shook terribly like a hard earthquake before it stopped completely; the door opened making a small whooshing noise. Isgral climbed out, followed closely by Sungray and finally Fronzek who stepped out to breath in the ships air and not the cramped pod air. He looked around to see a huge room which went as tall as the tallest building from the bottom to the top, metal sheets covered the walls, families were lined up in the room to evacuate the war machine, a window was set above the pods and through their Fronzek saw some Hundre fixing the yaser to the outside, the room was amazing as guards, army privates and all sorts of people stood lined around the huge room, some people were using their powers to levitate some of the luggage to the appropriate pod and seeing the families blasted through space to the next spaceship and finally a huge door was standing on the far side of the room with the Hundre coat of arms printed huge on the centre. Monster guards were placed all around the room. Fronzek had arrived in the Hundra.
