"You remember when we we're kids, and we would play 'save the frontier" Josaih said sitting on a nearbye rock, "Those were some of the best memories I have."
Aeryn smiled "Yeah I remember, the two of us and some of the kids from our home would run around with sticks and the like. I also miss mom and dad." She said pulling a photo of her parents out. "It sucks they can't be here with us."
Aeryn was running home with her brother after hearing their mother scream.
"Mom," Josiah said busting open the doorand looking around with Aeryn behind him.
"Dad" Aeryn called out, as Josiah lookedabout the house seeing nothing out of the blue. Then he saw it. Blood splattered on the wall in their parents room.
"Oh no" Josiah said running back outside and grabbing pulling Aeryn outside with him to see an IMC command ship slow down over the colony.
"Do not be afraid, Citizens, I am General Marder, and I am here to remove the Militia from this place." Marder said over the loudspeaker of the ship.
"Aeryn, we need to go" Josaih said grabbing Aeryns hand and backed off then turned and began running to the center of town where the Militia post was stationed. "Please help us" Josiah said crying, trying to get the door open. Thats when the Militia showed up.
"Everyone to the evac ship now" A pilot said jumping from a rooftop, "you will al be taken to safety"
Everyone ran in the village ran to the evac ships as IMC forces and Militia forces started coming down in drop pods. as Aeryn and Josiah were about to board one they were stopped.
"Hold on where are your parents" A grunt said pulling them to the side so other people could board.
"Dead" Josiah said looking up at the grunt his eyes glazed over in fear. The grunt nodded and let them board.
"Alight we're full let's go" the grunt said banging on the side of the ship then ran into the combat.
"Hold on here we go," the pilot said closing the drop door then lifted off, "We're setting a route to harmony." With that Warpspeed kicked in.
Josiah and Aeryn looked out the window as their only home they ever knew grew ever so distant.
"Josiah, What happens now?" Aeryn asked looking at josiah.
"We restart, I know mom and dad didn't want me joining the war efforts but i'm joining the militia." Josiah said closing his eyes. "We're all that we have now, I'll keep you safe" He said hugging Aeryn.
"Hey, Josiah, when I joined the militia as well, what did you think" Aeryn said sitting under a tree.
"I was proud of my little sister, angry too, because, i wanted to keep you safe, but now that your a pilot too, i know i don't have to look out for you. But being a big brother, i feel like i should always protect you." Josiah said taking off his helmet revealing his freckled complexion. One would almost call them twins by the way they looked so alike, but in reality Josiah was five years older than her.
Aeryn loked at her older brother and copied his movement then looked up to the sky. the sun was setting, and it was beautiful.
"It's beautiful, the sky is so much different here than home than on harmony" Aeryn said trying to change the subject. Josiah nodded and yawned. "Get some sleep, I'll take first watch"
"Okay" Josiah said settling down his helmet tucked by his stomach as he curled around it and fell asleep almost immedietly.
