OH MY GOD, I can't believe I toke so long to update this! Especially because I had the chapter sitting on my computer the whole time! *places target on chest* You may fire at will.

Chapter One: Queen of the Block part one

18 Months Later

I lazily walked around the corner before leaning against the wall. I could see the whole block from here, not like anything was happening.

I slide to the floor scribbling in the dirt; sometimes being on an unknown pirate block could be so boring. It was times like this that reminded me-

My thought was interrupted by the sound of a Sphere patroller flying by. I smiled; it was times like this that I loved my job.

I stood up and dove off the side of the block landing on my ship and jumping into the cockpit.

"Say goodnight sucker!"

My head jerked up at the sound of another ship. It flew by quickly obviously after the patroller. I only needed to take one look to tell this person was a reckless flier; and also, I would be of more help on land then in the air.

I jumped back onto the block and ran up the stairs just in time to save a young child from being crushed by falling debris.

"You ok?" I asked

"Yea. LOOK!" My head jerked to where he was pointing. The patroller had been shot down and was heading straight toward a populated area of the block.

"Everyone! Get outta there!" There was only a five second delay between the mass panic and the patroller crashing.

I ducked covering myself and the child from the dust cloud.

"Julien!" I looked up to see Demetrius running up to me. "Are you ok? Did every one get away in time?" I stood up brushing myself off.

"I'm fine, and most likely we'll have to handle some injured."

"Should I bring the pilot down?" I nodded and watched as Demetrius telekinetically brought the ship, and its idiot pilot, down. Then, as expected, once the pilot was out of the cockpit and on solid ground Demetrius started a fist fight.

"Enough Demetrius!" I said pushing the two apart.

"What, if he's gonna be executed I'd rather do it myself."

"Executed!" The boy screeched, "For what. T-there's gotta be some misunderstanding!"

"For what!" Demetrius yelled, "For murde-"

"Calm yourself Demetrius, nothing has been determined yet."

"Just let me speak to who's in charge and I'll get this all straightened out." He really is an idiot.

"You're looking at her."

"b-but, you're a girl!"

"Oh look, the numb skull cansee. You mind explaining then, how you let that happen!" I motioned to the crash site behind me.

He stammered for a few moments trying to come up with an answer. "I thought so," I said rolling my eyes and turning to Demetrius, "Take him to a holding cell; I'll figure out what to do with, the low life, later." He nodded and led the boy away.

I gestured for one of the 'soldiers'. "Yes, Julien?"

"Search the ship for anything valuable."

"Whose, the brigs or the pilots?" I glanced over at the boy's ship; it was definably interesting.

"The brigs, I'll handle his."

Please review, and I promise to get chapter two up much sooner then this one.
