Author's note: The idea is that the Romanov's ,BOsheviks ,etc lived in 1998 and were the same age as they were in 1918 also the revolution takes place in 1998 instead of 1918 so the story could work.
Lenin and Yurovsky stood next to the remains of the Ivan III launch site.
"Not only have you failed to finish off the Romanov's ,You have destroyed all our launch sites. We can't even send a probe to the moon no less fly to Alpha Centuri. ",Lenin complained.
"They tricked us. Who would have expected a launch site in a town we controlled. I'll get them all eventally. ",Yurovsky said.
"Forgort it! They are long gone now and no longer a threat to the revolution. I never wanted to be known as a royal killer. Did you ever read up on the French revolution? I didn't want anything like that to happen. ",Lenin said.
"How do you know they won't try to come back and reclain the throne? They could be waiting for things to die down here and then bam! They come flying in on their ship and become the rulers of Russia all over again. ",Yurovsky said.
"Give it up already. We still have a country to conquer. No more Romanov killing. ",Lening ordered.
Lenin stormed away and Yurovsky headed to meet with his men outside mission control.
"What do we do about the Ivan III? ",Vladimar asked.
"Lenin is getting soft. He wants us to give up. We will continue to hunt them down. ",Yurovsky said.
"Their developing a new spaceship that can make the journey to Alpha Centuri in a few months. Once it is finished we with take it and finish those imperial pricks. ',Yurovsky said.
Five years later
In Deep Space aboad the IVAN III the Romanov's sleep peacefuly in their freezing tubes. The ship approaches the planet orbiting Alpha Centuri and begans it's descent to the surface. We see the surface of the planet is similar to earth and it has a blue sky. THe ship lands in a valley. THe three legs are extended as the IVAN III touches down.
The robot is sent down a ramp to report on the environmet and determine if it is safe for the crew. A panel opens on one of the robot's feet to take a soil sample.
"Atmosphere composition 78% nitrogen 20% oxygen .93% argon , and .039 carbon dioxide is capable of supporting human life. Soil is safe for growing crops. ",the robot reported.
"Recommand revival of crew now. ",the Robot said.
The freezing tubes opened and the Romanov's slowly woke up. Anastasia and Alexei ran outside and starting running around like crazy. Nicholas and ALexandra walked over to the flight consoles and looked out the windows.
"We made it! The bosheviks can't possibly hurt us here. ",Nicholas said.
"Don't be so sure Nikky they could build their own spaceships. ",Alexandra said.
Tatiana walked over to the large viewscreen and started rewinding the real to real tape recording.
"WHat are you looking for Tania? ",Alexandra asked.
"I have a been feeling we narrowly escaped with our lives. ",Tatiana said.
They watched the replay of the launch. Bosheviks were at the hatch trying to force it. Then as the ship lifted off the launch tower collasped from the explosion below.
"They nearly got us like they killed the others. ",Tatiana said sadly.
"Anastasia Romanov and ALexei Romanov you come in here and change clothes befoer you get your finery dirty. ",Tatiana said through the intercom.
Month and a half later the Nepture 3 arrvied. Empress Marie rushed over to the Romanov's landing site.
"Grandma! ",the five children said at once.
The girls were waring grey skirts and light blue blouses.
"I wanted to join you and not sit around alone on earth. ",Empress Marie said.
"Glad you came mother. ",Nicholas said.
"We could transfer one of our freezing tubes to your ship your highness so she can travel with you back to earth if you ever decide to go home. ',a crewman said.
They put Empress's Marie tube in the lower deck near the robot control.
Anastasia was playing in a forest near the Ivan III.
"My sensors indicate you are in danger from falling if you don't come down from that tree. One of my functions is the protection of the Romanov Family. ",the robot said.
Anastasia climbed down and sneaked up behind the robot. Anastasia pulled out his power pack.
"Not again you little Shbivzik. ",the robot groaned as his power failed.
The robot's arms hung by his side as he leaned forward.
"Your no fun robot. ',Anastsia laughed.
That night they had a celebration of Empress Marie's arrival. Everyone was dressed in all their finery.
Then an explosion rocked the planet. The Nepture 3 was destroyed and it's crew were dead.
"Warning Waring. Danger Danger. Explosion caused by missiles fired from apporaching spaceship. recommand emergency liftoff. ",the robot warned.
"Everyone to launch positions now!",ordered Nicholas.
On the flight deck Grand Duchess Maria sat in the right hand seat close to the hatch and Grand Duchess Anastasia sat in the left hand seat. The girls were wearing cream colored dresses with red orders over their left shoulders and pink Kokoshniks having been dressed for the celebration.
"Start the main engines. ",Anastasia ordered.
The girls pressed several buttons and the ship began to rise just in time. Several missiles hit the spot where the ship had been sitting moments before.
"Where are you going Nastenkia?",Maria asked.
"I'm heading into space. We will have more room to maneuver there.",Anastsia explained.
Once in space they flew away from the planet and towards an asteroid field. Missiles hit the ship causing it rock from one side to the other. "We can't take much more of this. ",Anastasia groaned.
Maria saw something in the distance. It was a sauncer shaped ship similar to their own. Was she really seeing it or just imagining it?
