A sudden blackout causes panic amongst the guests in the Assembly Hall "warning...warning unknown electrical surge...power rebooting." the A.I system says over the speakers "Stay calm everything thing will come back on shortly!" Mr. Arkridge shouts moments later as the lights cut back on with a scream sounds off as Mrs. Arkridge shouts "My son's are gone!!" looking around the twins are nowhere to be seen. "GUARDS!!! fan out shut and down all transportation off this planet!" soldiers rush into the assembly hall armed with blasters "Make sure no one leaves this room" Mr. Arkridge tells his soldiers before leaving with his wife, making their way to A.E.U headquarters. somewhere on Vara-590 Tristan and Xavier are tied up in a dark room. "What is going on!" Xavier looks around frantically, he sees Tristan next to him "Tristan! you okay Tristan!!" Xavier shouts all of a sudden a door opens blinding Xavier's vision "Oh your awake, I didn't think you would be up. the tranquilizer should have kept you out for a few more hours you are quite tough." a mysterious figure says to Xavier then he kicks Xavier his the stomach the pick him up by the hair "You better hope your father tries to come find you two" the man throws Xavier back into the ground then leave the room, Xavier fall unconscious again.

Back at the A.E.U headquarters Mr. Arkridge discusses how to find his children " So have you found the location of Tristin and Xavier, time is ticking and we don't know where they were taken." Mr. Arkridge says to the people gather around "Sir we have found them sir they are in Sogan the abandon bunker to the east Mr. Arkridge." gather their forces Mr. Arkridge alone with some troops they make their way east to get his sons. "please find our sons and bring them back to me!" Mrs. Arkridge tells her husband before leaves, back in Sogan the abandon bunker the twins area being torture. getting cut with a blade they lets out screams of agony. a guard suddenly opens the door walking into the room "They have found our location sir!" "Huh already damn, Spanish the kids up and take them to the spot and wait for me. struggling to look up Xavier sees a Larry figure leaving the room. Suddenly in complete darkness a bag is put over both of their heads and they are taking to a different location in the bunker. hours later Mr. Arkridge and Armed soldier arrives outside Sogan, "Welcome, Mr. Arkridge of the A.E.U" a voice says over the Speakers "Give me my children!" Mr. Arkridge shouts as the soldiers aim at entrance.

"Hahahahaha calm down now, Look at this" a projected video image appear over the bunker door of Mr. Arkridge's Sons Tristan and Xavier covered in cuts and blood with bags over their heads. "Tristan!! Xavier!!!" Mr. Arkridge looks concerned seeing them injured "GET IN THERE!!!" Mr. Arkridge orders his soldiers shouting at them, they begin to fire shooting outer edge of the Bunker door. The door comes crashing down and the march in having a fire fight, they fight their way into the main entrance hall. at the same time the kidnapper decides to move Tristan and Xavier using them as a shield to escape making their way to the exit on the other side of the Bunker. "don't lost them, Make sure you keep them alive." the mysterious man says before he disappears leaving the twins to his soldiers, breathing heavily inside the bag Xavier struggles to breath with it over his head, hearing blasters going off he get nervous as they get closer and closer. "What...going on? is Tristan okay I am hearing a lot of gun fire...urgh my body hurts I'm numb all over." Xavier thinks to himself while being carried.

Rushing to the exit the kidnappers making it outside but it stop at at dead end cliff "Dammit this is a dead end where did the boss go!?" one of the kidnappers rants to the other, without warning the kidnappers is shot dropping Tristan on the ground. "Here they are Sir!!" Mr. Arkridge and his forces rush out the exit seeing both of his son's, they grab Tristan. the kidnapper takes the bag off Xavier's head "Don't come any closer if you aim you weapons I will kill this one" pointing a knife at his throat cutting it a little bit "Father...You came!" Xavier says to his father "I am sorry son" Mr. Arkridge says before drawing his blaster shooting a whole through Xavier's shoulder hitting the kidnappers heart. "Ahhhhh!" Xavier let's out a scream holding his shoulder, Mr. Arkridge steps up to his crouching down the says, unfortunately you are not the heir and you are in worst condition then your brother." Mr. Arkridge grabs Xavier's shirt pulling him to the edge of the cliff "What are you doing dad, don't do this!" Xavier shouts trying to escape his grasp "Sorry but I can't have you alive after this event." Mr. Arkridge throws Xavier over the edge off the cliff "Noooo Father!!!!" turning around he orders the soldiers to never speak of that happen that day bring Tristan back home.

At the same time as Mr. Arkridge leaves, Xavier at the bottom of the cliff ".....ugh" laying in a puddle of blood Xavier looks into the sky with his blurry vision breathing hard. all of a sudden heavy footsteps approach him, a voice calls out "Do you want to live?" appearing on Xavier's burled vision he replies "Y.....ye..yes" then falls unconscious "Im glad I made it in time" the man says placing a device on his chest pain keeping him alive.....A week later in the Visrock Sector in the medical zone, Xavier is in a healing tank with a oxygen mask over his face. Standing outside of tank watching Xavier, Evalyn Mistspire "I didn't think we would get one of the Arkridge descendant here alive." she says to Jennix the scientist keep him alive "Yes, I thought the kidnappers would kill him because they couldn't escape" the scientist replies "The report said his father shot him, that household is crazy. how long will it be before his regains conscious?" Evalyn ask the scientist "It will take a few days before he wakes up his injuries are pretty serious. even when he gets out he won't be doing anything." she responds saying on the Canaan settlement in the Depix System Mrs. Arkridge watches over Tristan on a bed sleep crying "How could they do this to us...my children!" she abouts suffering "My wife we are lucky to have Tristan still they killed Xavier before be could save them both." Mr. Arkridge tells her trying to confront her. "How could they kill Xavier, Tristan won't believe it when he wakes up."

After some time pass Xavier wakes up from his in the capsule he begins to panic inside the medical capsule. "get a grip or you will drown, I will empty the capsule now." Jennix says to Xavier making him calm down Jennix drains the capsule of water, Xavier falls to the ground as the water leave the capsule. Xavier coughs gasping for air, "Wha..where am I...and who are you?" Xavier ask Jennix from inside the capsule, unfortunately I can't answer that yet but let's get you out." Jennix puts in a code in at the base of the capsule, The capsule starts to raise to the ceiling allowing Xavier to exit it. "Come this way I need to do a check your vitals to make sure you're all good internally." She tells Xavier sitting him down in a chair, coming into the medical zone Evalyn "Your finally awake good, Hello my name is Evalyn this is the Visrock sector. this is far from your home the Depix System, if you can remember we tried to kidnap you along with your brother with the intent of killing both of you. but what are the odds that your father would shoot you saying that we killed you." Evalyn tells Xavier while he sits getting his vitals "!?" Xavier suddenly feels a sharp pain from head as he begins to remember what transpired over the past few days. "My father really shot me." in disbelief Xavier tries to stand up to clear his thoughts "Please stay exceeded you have not fully recovered!" In Jennix shouts to Xavier "Evalyn you should have waited until he was stable to tell him, I understand we are press for time but he is mentally unstable right now." Jennix tells Evalyn while pulling her to the side "He is only around 12 years old the injuries alone could have made him cripple for life, his left arm may need to be amputated the damage has destroyed his bones in his arm they are beyond saving." they move back over to Xavier, Jennix provide support helping Xavier to a clean room to recover in. "you will stay here for the time being Jennix will stop by every day to check on you, I will return in 4 days with a representative of the visrock sector. you need to choose if you will carry the Arkridge name or not and that will determine how your time here will go."

Xavier looks at Evalyn with a stare filled with rage "You want me to stay here? what am I supposed to do in the meantime, you said this is the Visrock sector how did I get here I was dieing on Vara-590." Xavier replies saying to Evalyn angry "One of our agents brought you back but a representative was there when it all went down, he saved you healing your minor injuries as best as he could before getting you to the ship to come here. I have to go but she will send you tomorrow." Evalyn says replying to Xavier leaving him the the room locking the door, Xavier thinks to himself trying to understand the situation. "What am I to do? my father abandoned me....no he tried to kill me, was it because of the heir ceremony?" unable to control his anger Xavier swings his right arm hitting the wall hurting his hand. "ahh!" Xavier continues to thinks "Is everything he show me fake...all the time father smile at me or showed me love...for him to shoot me with no hesitation." Xavier has another flash of his father shooting him hearing the blaster go off. "....that man whoever saved me didn't do it for free they probably want payment, I can't become a slave to these kidnapper but I will survive at all cost to kill my father." Xavier rest sleeping early in the morning Jennix come into the room waking Xavier up "Get up we will be giving you a new arm, I'm sure you noticed that you can't move it. The bone in that arm are destroyed." Jennix says to Xavier "Yes, I did notice but why would you give me a arm I'm the enemy's son?" Xavier questions Jennix being suspicious of her "I am just doing what I am ordered to do, so come on." Jennix leads Xavier to a table bed under a large mechanical structure. "Lay there and we can start the process." Jennix says Xavier nervously gets onto the table, Jennix locks him in preparing a syringe "this will numb your nerves in your left arm so we we amputate it you won't feel it, along with reattaching the robotic arm to your nervous system." Jennix tells Xavier while injecting him with the syringe. after injecting Xavier Jennix walks around to a control panel starting the process, making a loud high pitch sound the structure releases a arm with a saw on it lowering itself towards him. "..... imputation process meaning waiting on input..." the structure says aloud Jennix confirms the process and the machine continues.
