The boy was horrified and he was about to scream, he turned his head, but a kid about the age of fourteen jumped onto the grotesque thing with a flash of his blade to its grotesque head. The head of the thing blew up like a balloon popping with a needle.

The young boy stood up as the teenager who killed the thing got off the back of the now recently dead creature. The boy noticed the knife the kid was holding was an ordinary kitchen knife

"Come with me if you want to life." The kid grabbed the hand of the young boy and pulled him all the way down to the bottom of the wrecked building.

Sometime passed and the kid looked at the boy

"If I say run you run understand." The kid said suddenly, the boy did not know what to say but the kid went on without waiting for a reply.

"There will be a shuttle by the docking bay that will get us some were safe". It's a two minute walk from here, now I need you to run. Can you do that?" the boy just nodded to the kid just before one of those things he ran into on the top of the building grabbed hold of the kid and pushed him to the ground and bit onto the nape of his neck.

The kid just looked into the eyes of the boy and shouted out "RUN" blood started to come out of the kid's mouth and the white of his eyes started to go completely white as he shouted out again at the boy "RUN" just before he died.

The boy just ran with his hands on his head covering his ears towards the new landing shuttles. Alliance soldiers were standing guard looking for anything that could harm the refugees who got there first.

Shuttles were still landing by the time the boy got there. He then stopped in-front of a shuttle that was picking up refugees and looked around at the carnage of all the broken buildings that were destroyed by these unknown enemies. He saw buildings half destroyed, fighters being shot down by flying black creatures that reminded the boy of old folk tales about dragons. He saw more than one of these huge two kilometre spacecraft before he looked up in the sky at a ship with the name Normandy. The boy dropped his hand from his head and looked into his cousin's blue crystals eyes or was it emerald green the boy could not tell. But he's knew his cousin was looking back.

He noticed that his cousin suddenly looked at something behind him as a loud noise filled the air. The boy put his hands on his head to cover his hands again as the sound filled the air. He looked around at a smaller spacecraft that looked oddly shaped like a spider with four legs and something coming out of its back. It came through a building behind it, and opened up its front to show four small mechanical eyes and one massive technological eye, the boy looked in horror as the spacecraft looked at him. The boy paused for a brief moment before he ran to the shuttle. The boy was unseen while he tried to climb up in to the shuttle, it was at least a head bigger than what he could do alone, a few seconds passed before he got in the shuttle and stood up before looking straight in to his cousin's eyes.

An alliance soldier tapped on the shuttle door to alert the pilot to close the shuttle doors.

The shuttle took off as the mysterious craft looked at them suddenly a red beam hit the left side engine of the shuttle as his cousin looked in horror, the shuttle crashed to the ground with an explosion which melted it into a smoking wreck with fire on top of the wreckage, his cousin looked at it with horror in his eyes and turned and walked into the cargo bay of the ship named Normandy.
