Lucas felt a sharp pain as he began to move, ringing can still be heard in his ears. He clings himself against a sturdy boulder as he steadily pulls himself up. His legs trembled beneath him, sending him falling on the asphalt under him. He digs his fingers into the scorching hot asphalt and crawls his way out, growing hotter by the minute. Just as he managed to crawl away, a hard object hits him, knocking him out unconscious, as footsteps could be heard gradually getting louder, and louder by the second, when it all stopped.

Moments later he gains consciousness and everything around him begin to blur. Luke examines the room when suddenly a door opens. As the door opens, a man with bulky arms walks in, giving Luke a cold icy stare. “I've

“Lucas,” Aiden began, “I would like to introduce you to Jake, and Brittany. They will be with us during exploration.” Aiden tossed Luke a space helmet. “Here you will need this for the exploration,” said Aiden. Lucas quickly climbed into his suit, as he puts on his helmet. “You will also need this,” Aiden grumbled, tossing Luke an oxygen tank. “If you don't want to die that is.” Lucas attached the oxygen tank against his suit and stepped on the platform. Aiden got into his suit and pulled the lever next to him. The platform under him shook. The platform under them gradually rose, as the roof above it opened. Aiden pulls the lever again.

As he got closer a space station can be seen. Flames can be seen licking away the insides of the station, as he emerges charred bodies can be seen. Lucas stood back in fear, as he quickly grabs out his walkie talkie. “Aiden we have a problem,” answered Luke. A moment of silence passed when a voice crackled through the walkie-talkie. "What's the problem?" replied Aiden. “You've got to see this for yourselves,” said Lucas. A few minutes past when a set of footsteps can be heard over the horizon. The team arrives. As they cautiously walk towards the station, terror spreads across their face. “Spread out and cover the area,” ordered Aiden. "And if you see any survivors report to us.” Luke rushed over to the first station, kicking down the door creating a dent. As Lucas scans the room, footsteps can be made out from across the area. Lucas shines his flashlight revealing a wounded man leaning against a wall. “Stop!” yelled the man. “Don't come any closer.” Lucas slowly approaches the man. “Look were just trying to help.” The man took a step back, cornering himself against the wall. “If you come any closer they will find us..” whispered the man. Luke stood in disbelief. “Who's they?” Before the man could answer, a high pitch ear-piercing screech echoes through the door behind them. A ray of light strikes through the door, leaving a hole in the doorway. A skinny tall figure with red glowing eyes can
