News of a "new faction attacking a school" has spread around to many planets, including Alled. And the only thing that people on Alled can think of is Morte, considering he's been taking more and more factories away from people over the years, and everyone whom was affected by him remembers his name with the hopes of regaining what he's taken. Because of all this, a group of pirates on Alled are attacking the main factory, the one that Biran, Shizaku, Retsej, and Calvon are currently hiding in. A circular space ship is hovering above the dock we've previously seen, and a large muscular man, about eight feet tall is attempting to punch through the door to the inside of the factory. "The Corsair's of Alled will have all your heads! You've taken property from people trying to make a living you selfish lowlife pieces of shit!" The large man yells furiously. Calvon hears the banging from outside, but has no reaction because of the hell he's been put through. The other workers are panicking to the max, not having Morte to protect them. "Oh shit, what do we do? He's never gonna leave and we can't do anything! And Morte's busy on Oxys!" Biran says frantically. "Biran is there no other exit here?!" Shizaku asks. "No! There isn't!" Biran and Retsej both say at the same time. Calvon has a small smirk listening to the people who put him through pain finally get what they deserve.
"We should be fine though, the door is unbreakable!" Biran says, which is immediately followed by the door being broken down. At the entrance of the laboratory, there's a little balcony, and then a drop-off to where Calvon, Biran, Shizaku, and Retsej are. The pirate walks through the door, and jumps off the balcony and lands down with the workers, which is a 100 foot drop. The pirate has a smirk on his face, he walks up to Biran, and absolutely tears him to pieces. Breaking the glass dome his brain was in and slamming him against an assembly line nearby even after he's dead. He does the exact same to Retsej, and grabs Shizaku with one hand and crushes him. Calvon watches all of this. Although it was a gruesome and violent scene, he watches. The people who abused him, tortured him, and made him a slave for years are murdered in front of him. The pirate walks up to Calvon, seemingly about to kill him, but then notices the chains and scars. "Are you..a slave?" The pirate asks. Calvon nods. "Heh, not anymore pal." The pirate breaks the chain connecting him to the assembly line, setting Calvon free. Finally. The first act of any sort of kindness in years. This is almost too much for him, Calvon begins having tears of joy, tears with a feeling of overwhelming joy and appreciation. Calvin even hugs the pirate, and mumbles "Thank you."
The two go up the elevators back to the entrance, and walk up to the pirate's ship. A ladder rolls down from the ship, and the two climb up. When Calvon climbs into the ship, he's greeted by three other people. A pilot who's a grey alien with four arms, a human dwarf with an actual pirate costume from a store, and a tall blue alien with a black trench coat. The leader walks up to Calvon and the big guy and says "Heave, who is this? Why aren't you bringing any product?" "Oh c'mon Rus, he was a slave, I didn't wanna kill him or leave him there! And we're gonna need bigger storage to pack up the stuff down there, there's TONS of stuff." Heave explains. "Okay we'll go get a trailer, and you, slave, you can hang back with us for a little while until you get yourself sorted. Anywhere specific you wanna go?" The leader, Rus, asks. "Yeah. Can we go to Oxys? My two sons go to a school there, and I think something bad might be happening there. Calvon mumbles. "Oh god, Oxys? I heard an indie faction is attacking a school down th-. Oooooh… yikes." The dwarf says. "God damnit, Herman! Not a good way to make him feel better! Hi, I'm Cruz by the way!" The pilot says. Calvon has a nervous look on his face, but Heave puts his hand on his shoulder and says "Don'tcha worry, I'm sure they're fine!"
Cruz flies the ship out of Alled's atmosphere, and on their way to Oxys. It takes them nearly an hour, but they arrive sure enough. "I can see the school on the news, we can head right to it!" Cruz says while pointing to a little TV screen on his dashboard. The ship flies off towards Gravelroath, and arrives there six minutes after they entered the atmosphere. They arrive in the aftermath of the fight between Morte and the two guardians. They all look in both awe and horror at the scene they entered. "Geez...Cal you sure you still want to go down there? I don't even know if they'll let us." Cruz asks. "Yeah..let's go." Calvon says. Their circular ship lowers and hovers about ten feet from the ground, and the ladder drops down, allowing Calvon to climb down and take in the scene.
The guardian's ship from earlier has a huge hole blown in the side and is now buried in sand, and sits in between the school and Gravelroath like a wall. There are government owned spaceships all around the school, with agents investigating and looking for bodies. The school is covered in sand, with a thick layer covering the ground, presumably coming from when the large ship crashed into the ground "Found one!" an agent says, as he finds someone's hand poking out of the sand. More agents run to the body, place a little platelet on the hand, which hovers on its own. It rises up and pulls the body out of the ground, revealing Alth's corpse. "Ah, sick.." one of the agents says. Calvon walks up to a nearby agent writing something in a notepad. "Um..sir..what happened here?" Calvon asks. The agent looks at Calvon, and just says "Sorry bud, classified info." "Sir, I'm a parent of two of the students that went here. What happened?" Calvon demands. "Really, oh..god. I'm so sorry. We don't know exactly what happened. All we know is that a new faction attacked this school, we don't know why, but there are a few casualties that we've been able to identify. Keep this part under wraps, but both of the guardians here...they're dead. Both killed by one guy, the same guy who shot down their ship by himself. And one last thing, all the students have vanished, presumably dea..dead. Sorry." The agent says, stuttering at the end, obviously not loving the fact that he's the one telling this parent that his children may be dead. Calvon is silent, just looking at the school, with a hopeless look on his face.
No one currently at the scene notices, but Teether and Birrah's petrified bodies are gone. Not taken by the Oxys officials, but someone else. Inside a dark bunker somewhere in Gravelroath, a large group of about 20 surviving QS members are hiding out, with the petrified bodies of Teether and Birrah in their possession. Although his body is petrified, there is a shackle on his ankle connected to the wall of the bunker. A man walks up to Birrah's stone body with a bottle of some faded yellow liquid. He pours the liquid out onto Birrah, and after only a few seconds, the stone begins to crack and fall, revealing Birrah, freed from the petrification. "Huh?! Where am I?!" Birrah says in fear. Another member walks up to him with some metal rod, he hits Birrah with the rod, which shocks him like a taser would, yet far stronger. "What..what do you want?! What happened to Teether?! How did I get here?!" Birrah yells out, he then sees Teether's petrified body on the ground, and says "Oh no… W- wait, what happened at the school?!" One of the members smirks and says "Don't know exactly… but we stole y'all's statues from the school before any more goverment officials could arrive. We took you because you know something. Something real important to us." The gang member kneels down to Birrah before continuing and adds, "Where is your little kingdom. The one full of Kashians that are all hiding out. We know you know, so just say. And if you don't we'll keep shocking you, and we'll kill your brother. We'll do whatever we have to for however long we need to, so no point in hiding it." Birrah stays silent, so the same worker turns the rod back on and begins doing what he threatened.
Out in space, Tayer and the students are still in the bus flying away from Oxys, but nearing a large, sharp, and clean looking futuristic space station. Everyone in the bus is silent, rethinking everything that they just experienced. "Okay everyone… we're almost there." Tayer says. They've been flying for a few hours at this point, everyone's tired, hungry, hurt, and traumatized. They fly up to a part of the space station that opens up, allowing the bus to go inside. The station closes behind them, and they park next to Stavil. The doors to the bus open and all the students walk out with Tayer following them. "Hey, everyone! Welcome to one of Vrocilia's most finest space stations!" Stavil says, but is signaled to lower the enthusiasm by Tayer when he does a hand gesture. "Now everyone, listen to me." Tayer begins to say, getting the attention of all the students. "Stavil is going to have full responsibility for you all from this moment on. We all suffered losses today, and we all have ways to cope. Mine is isolation. I'm going off on my own for a while, and letting you all stay with Stavil. He's rich, has things for you to do, and can possibly be a good opportunity for your future. This place is well protected, if the man who attacked us today decides to track you down, you'll be safe." Most of the students stay silent, except for Jasper who says "But.. what if he tracks you down?" "I doubt it, but don't worry about me. This was a tragic day, but think of it as your turning point. You have your whole lives to look forward to, so decide on how your future will be here." Tayer finishes. Stavil tugs on Tayer's shirt, and whispers "Hey, weren't there two other kids here? What happened?" "I don't even know, they just refused to get on the bus, and we couldn't afford to wait a second longer...so I don't know what they're doing. That's gonna haunt me for a while too." Tayer explains, he then looks back at the students, and says "I'll miss you all." as all the students come up to him, saying their goodbyes and hugging him.
Tayer finishes his farewells, gets back into the bus, and flies away into space after having the wall open up for him. Everyone is silent for a moment, just taking in everything that's happened. Stavil then says "Guys. I know how you all feel, trust me I do. That's why I'm giving you all an option. Option one, you can go off on your own. There's hundreds of safe planets full of people ready to help you out, I can even give each of you that takes this choice money to help start you off. This can help you just move forward, and learn a thing or two about the real world. Option two, you can stay here to continue your teachings, it won't be the same as Wally's lessons but you'll be learning to fight nonetheless. If you want to choose option one, raise your hands." Jade, Linn, Tobias, London, Brittain, Violet, and Jasper all raise their hands after thinking for a short moment. "Wow, okay, the majority. If you're picking option two, stand off to the side." Cyrus, Jacob, Eric, Dex, and McJ walk off to the side. "Okay for those of you who want to go, I'll show you tons of options for safe planets to go to, I'll give each of you a few thousand bucks, and you'll be on your own. But we'll do all that in a few days, I'll give you time to rest and prepare." Stavil finishes.
We open in on a planet similar to Mars, just that it has large cities and lots of greenery. The focus is a large laboratory, many scientists and mechanics densely working in this one area. The lab has Vrocilia's logo plastered all over it, which explains the obvious high budget for it. A short stubby alien with a cart full of packages runs through all these people, saying "Excuse me, sorry, excuse me gotta get through!". He eventually enters a room, with a large glass bubble in the center, with pipes and tubes going in and out of it. Inside the bubble, there can be seen the silhouette of some sort of alien person floating in the blue liquid which fills it all up. The short alien with the packages runs up to a tall security guard standing next to the bubble, and says "Just like you asked." as he hands him an envelope from his back pocket instead of the cart, and continues running around to deliver packages.
The security guard opens the envelope, and a sinister grin can be seen on his face but for only a moment as he hides his expression when another worker walks by. He then looks to see if anyone is around, and then opens up one of the tubes from the bubble and says "Sir, we've completed the Kashians. Their hiding spot is reduced to ash, the guardians of Oxys are dead, which now makes it easier to take the entire southern hemisphere. This will mark our return and higher rise to power, heil Quarter-Star."
