A few months before the destruction of Earth--
Four people sat in a room conversing and having tea, judging from their clothing they were all scientists. Two males and two females, by the way they intimately sat it was obvious they were two couples. One couple was Arisa and Andrew Steinholm and the other two were their colleagues whom they shared a sense of camaraderie with for many years.
The other male looked to be in his 50's, he had grey-hair and lively eyes and gave off the feel of an eccentric. His wife seemed to be calm and gentle, similar in age with more black hair than grey and seemed to age well and had a slight smile.
[Hey Andrew come on no need being so tight-lipped, it's the end of the world let me see the files!] - Middle aged man
[Hmm old man Peskin, You're not going to stop bothering me until you see it huh] -Andrew
[You got that right! Arisa please I beg of you! Please let me see the files! My beautiful wife Liselle please help me beg!] -Peskin
[Jeez, I'm sorry Andrew and Arisa...this guy-] -Liselle
[Haha, no need to apologize I just wanted to see him grovel a bit more! I had always intended to show him from the very beginning.] -Andrew
[Y-You! How da-] -Peskin
Before the old man could vent his anger and finish speaking a file was already tossed on the table in front of him which completely diverted his attention. Without warning he already pounced at it making everyone in the room laugh heartily which was incredibly hard to, considering the dire circumstances.
The were only two words on the cover of the files.
"Eternity Pill"
This was none other than the Experimental DNA test drug.
The old man quickly opened the file and begun reading greedily, one could see the excitement in his eyes as he absorbed the information. It was obvious this old man was an eccentric about science, every now and then he would mutter things while reading showing how fervorous his nature was. As he finished reading a file he would pass it to his wife and she would silently read it, although she was quiet her eyes seem to flash with incredible intelligence and one could see her comprehension ability did not lose to her husband's...in fact it might have been much higher.
[So that's how it is!] -Peskin
[What?! How is this possible?!] -Peskin
[Certainly Certainly! How could I have been so blind I've been looking at it the wrong way!] -Peskin.
Finally after reading the old man came to a conclusion as he looked wide-eyed at Arisa and Andrew as if they were the biggest monsters he had ever seen.
[Just...What in the heavens did you create? Was this pill made from your love of science....or your love of your child?] -Peskin
[The love of our child] -Andrew & Arisa
[Then it makes complete sense as to why you have succeeded] -Liselle
[I predict that even if the animals and plant life mutate after radiation....your son will be the biggest predator among them] -Peskin
[He would be the perfect human....the most beautiful predator ever created with human hands] -Liselle
[That was the goal we had in mind] -Arisa
[With these files and with the resources at my disposal, I'm sure I can make a lesser and superficial version of the drug for Claire, it won't be anyway near as powerful as the kind Arin will get but the important part is that it would be enough to protect her from radiation or any foreign pathogens and that is more than I need!] -Peskin
[Good, how about her survivability? how did you prepare her?] -Andrew
[We did as you suggested and we used black technology! We didn't use it for combat but rather to manipulate her brain to receive all sciences! Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Engineering! She would be an information powerhouse! I'm confident she'll be able to dismantle her craft and create a weapon to survive almost immediately after landing! There's even a few weapons on the craft itself.
Besides.... one of the reasons I decided to use Black Technology on her and erase her memories wasn't just for her survival. This girl...she has a lot of friends that were as good as sisters to her and she enjoyed her days at school with them, Social sites on the Vnet was a very common thing for her much like teenagers her age. She's lived with a great amount of human contact all her life, to suddenly go without it might cause incredible mental damage.
She loved her friends and her life, I would rather her forget about us old folks and live a new clean slate rather than live with the burden of remembering the world you knew destroyed. What matters to parents the most are their children's safety no matter the cost] -Peskin
[Well said! That is absolutely correct! You can't be called a man if you can't shoulder the burdens of your family!] -Andrew
[I just hope nothing goes wrong and she is able to meet up with your son, it would be great if they could be together and support one another in the New Earth. Say Andrew...you remember what we talked about last time?] -Peskin
[About setting up a marriage with the two?] -Andrew
[Yeah, should we finalize it? Originally they weren't supposed to meet until they became 18 but I guess we could make a few adjustments considering the circumstances huh? what do you think Liselle and Arisa?] -Peskin
[I agree, ever since Arin was a kid he wouldn't show much of an expression to a lot of things but she was always an exception ever since they were little he would always try to impress her. It's sad when our work separated us two families, we never let them meet when they had become teenagers and that always haunted me as a mother. Still, Arin would always ask every now and then about her hehe though he tried to play it off casually just as fast as to not make us feel bad, hehe.] -Arisa
[When I asked Claire about marrying Arin in the future, she answered yes without hesitation. She remembered Arin quite clearly to the point which shocked me, that child has always had an exceptionally good memory. She could even recall some of their playdates in entirety. There is no one who is against this marriage. I leave my daughter in your son's care] -Liselle
[Then it's settled] -Andrew
The two families wrote up a few documents and used the Vnet services to issue it to the Marriage license board. After a few minutes the paperwork was all done and sent back to the both couples. Machines made things much easier and convenient than humans so naturally processes were a lot faster than compared to a few hundred years ago.
After they received the certificate of marriage via the Vnet, they made software copies and stored them into a heart-shaped external storage device which was called a "Heart Device". A Heart Device was what married couples wore in the 23rd Century as opposed to rings. This Heart device contained all personal info, as well as it possessed many other specific features that gave credit to it's name.
Some of the main features are that the Heart Device could be split in two and be shared by marriage partners. When two partners possess this device they have a range of options. One feature is that they can contact one another within a 10 mile Radius with the device instantly. Another is that they can tell their partners health status at all times when used within a 10 mile Radius and lastly they can pinpoint the location of their partner within a 10 mile radius. If they are out of range, it only shows the direction.
After they uploaded the the marriage documents, each family took half of the Heart Device and each recorded their own personal hologram message onto it for their children in the future. Andrew placed it around his neck and Peskin did the same.
[Well then we'll say our goodbyes here Peskin! You should head back to the lab right away and begin creating the drug for your daughter! It takes quite some time to prepare after all and time is of the essence if you need help with the resources just say so we have some remained and could help out if necessary. We're more or less almost finished.] -Andrew
[...Thank you old friend, with this my daughter will be able to survive the harsh new world. I'll send over the blueprints for the craft and you can go over it with the engineers!] -Peskin
[No need to mention it, you would do the same for me] -Andrew
[Thanks Arisa, for everything] -Liselle
Liselle smiled and looked warmly at the teared up Arisa, it was obvious that they were long time friends.
[Bye Liselle...Wuwu *sob*] -Arisa
The wives shared a hug and parted, the husbands knocked fists and parted ways. This would be the last time these long time friends ever meet.

On the night of the destruction of Earth, A NASA satellite had begun making it's usual trip around the Earth when it picked up something on it's radar!
[ Hey captain was a launch scheduled today?] -Indian Astronaut
[No, not that I know of. Today's the day of the unveiling of the new power reactor, there isn't supposed to be anything flying out today] -Japanese Astronaut
[W-wait...you think it could be... the Steinholms?]- American Astronaut
[No way, they wouldn't really...Hey Raj bring it up on screen] -Japanese Astronaut
[Yes Captain! Joe send me co-ordinates!] -Raj
A quick moment afterward an image appeared on their screens, A shuttle speeding away from Earth.
[That crest! It's definitely them!] -Joe
[Yeah no doubt about it...that is definitely the symbol for Steinholm's Global Tech] -Captain
[I got another one incoming hot!] -Raj
[What?! Another spacecraft? Could it be...people really believe the world is coming to an end?] -Captain
Raj quickly shifted to it an another spacecraft was seen, this spacecraft looked more advanced than the one from Steinholm's Global Tech no doubt that the people who created it were no joke.
[Huh? That logo...it's the De Fleur's logo!] -Joe
[Yeah, it seems that power couple came to the same conclusion as the Steinholms] -Captain
[Uh...guys...what's that?] -Raj
[What is it?! Another Craft?!] -Joe
[No...that light down on Earth] -Raj
[What?....Oh my god...] -Joe
[Oh dear Bhudda] -Raj
[So....It seems the Steinholm's were telling the truth...well boys it was nice serving with you] -Captain
[Captain!] -Joe
[Captain!] -Raj
[Well since things are going to go to hell anyway, Captain mind If I smoke this?] -Raj
Raj retrieved a neatly rolled cigarette from his chest pocket. It was obvious it was no cigarette.
[Why the hell not....pass it here...How exactly are we supposed to look at something like this clear-headed? Good thing good for nothings like us have no families to worry about and our line of work doesn't really leave us with any friends.] -Captain
[Yeah that maybe true Cap, but we always got each other!] -Joe
[That's right Captain!] -Raj
The Three astronauts had gotten stoned by the time the explosion covered the Earth. With their blood red eyes they stared at the collapsing world and they blacked out before the explosion even hit.
**
In the world of Magnolia, where beasts rule over humanity in the year of 10,230. When one star was reported by numerous sources to have fallen from the Sky near the fortress city of Mount Earthenvale. Another fell during the day which went unnoticed to most eyes, except for a tribe of women that called themselves "Amazulu" go others they are called the " Forest Queens".
This tribe of women were widely known and were famous for their ruthlessness to trespassers as well as for their beauty, so even the most low and honor-;ess man would keep his thoughts together and not dare dream of entering that place which could be called a heaven for any man.
Amongst a crater created by the spacecaft, many women surrounded the spacecraft and after fiddling around with the unknown technology, they finally got it open. To their surprise what they saw inside was a young girl about 16 years old with silver hair, that did not seem like normal hair. It looked like streaks of beautiful moonlight that were painted down the sides of her head.
If someone who knew Sol were to see it, they would definitely recognize this hair as being the same as his, except her hair were like the light of a full moon. Her beauty was enough to cause a city to go war. Delicate warm cheeks that were tinged with red and a pale white complexion that made her seem like a goddess of the Moon. Her body was decently developed for a 16 year old and one could tell in the future she would become even more marvelous.
The girl looked weak very much like Sol had been, this girl was Claire De Fleur, Fiance of Sol.
**
An elderly woman who seemed not to be elderly at all, sat on a horse as she looked down at the scene before her. She had grey hair, but her eyes were fierce red and clearly stated that she was not to be looked down upon. This woman was the Head Huntress of the Forest Queens.
[Mileena, check her for any concussions quickly!] -???
[Yes Head Huntress!] -Mileena
A woman who's face was concealed quickly opened the girls eyes and saw a silver-colored pair of eyes which shocked her for a bit but then she quickly ignored it and searched for any signs of damage. Upon seeing nothing she released a sigh and quickly reported.
[Head Huntress she is fine!] -Mileena
[Great, get the horses. You air mages and earth mages hurry and let's get this strange movement artifact back to base quickly!] -Head Huntress
[Yes Head Huntress!] -Mages
[Silver hair and silver eyes huh...little girl..just where in the Gods did you come from?] -Head Huntress
Suddenly a hologram begun to play which showed a man and woman which startled the group of women. They had never seen such images before and they could sense no magic power from the device so many of them wondered how it worked. The hologram of the silhouettes begun to play.
[*** My darling you may not remember **, but I am **** mother. My name is Liselle] -Liselle
[Hello ****! I am your father! My **** is Peskin and we have some terrible **** to share with you, I don't know just how clear **** message will be after time *** passed so listen up carefully] -Peskin
The Head Huntress listened intently but could barely make out anything, she even saw the playback of the destruction of the world and inhaled a breathe of cold air.
[So this is where you came from too bad I couldn't find out your name, how unfortunate young girl. At least your parents did the right thing by sending you here and removing your memories, remembering a destroyed world is too much for a single person to bear. We will take care of you like our daughters and our sisters. ] -Head Huntress
All of a sudden weird clicking noises came from the chamber where they fished out the young girl. One of it's control panels shot out a bright red light toward the necklace around Claire's neck, and as if trained to activate at this time lit up brightly!
A new hologram message begun to play this one was much much clearer.
[Finally the last thing I'm about to tell you my daughter. There is someone else you need to make sure and find, this necklace around your neck is the key and will explain more. We're out of time now, I have to go I love you my baby. *Sob*] -Liselle
[I love you too my sweet daughter! Find the person in your necklace! He will be your only family remaining. He also does not possess his memories, the only way to find one another is with the necklace, He shouldn't be too far away from wherever you are the pods were designed that way] -Peskin
The messaged stopped for a moment...and then it gently powered down.
Claire's spacecraft was much more advanced than Sol's and luckily after the crash it only sustained superficial damage. It's mechanical issues were very minor but the software had been damaged badly and made the first video barely understandable. However the most vital information was relayed. Another one of her family was present here on this planet.
Everyone present all stood quietly and watched this scene and they were quiet for quite some time. The Head Huntress couldn't bear the silence anymore and quickly ordered them to move it to the base as well. Mileena, the woman who's face was concealed carried the young girl with them and they faded into the forest.
The earth mages split into two smaller groups, one accompanied the space craft and the other group were accompanied by some water mages who stayed behind casting rapid earth magics clearing up any and all evidence of the crash landing. Even the trail of the crash was completely covered. The Water mages casted a few life water magics on carefully placed seeds which grew a few trees and wild bushes surprisingly fast.
They understood without discussing it that keeping this matter secret was of the utmost priority. The impact crash site which was once a huge crater became a lush forest once again with no trace of any disturbance. The water mages casted a few fog spells and quickly retreated from the area.
