Journey Home

Trapped. I am trapped. I try calming myself, but it's no use. The images continue to cloud my vision and take me back to the horrid moments before.

FLASH!

I see the army, mindless drones or so they seem, firing with out mercy. A micro-blaster explodes throwing me to the ground. A laser beam hits Aquila and he falls. I fire my weapon just as Leo is about to be struck. I hit the soldier; my victory smile comes too soon. We are frozen by rays.

BAM!

I crash back into my reality in a cold, grey cell made completely of metal and hate. My door slides back. Time to face the galactic counsel. I slide off my floating bunk, onto my bare feet, shaking. They lead me down the barren halls.

The counsels' murmurs fill the room. The chairman clears his throat, "The Counsel of Aquarians has come to an agreement," he turns to read their minds and access the verdict. "Due to the circumstances, that almost all of your planets have been destroyed, " he looks to my team, "You are hear by banished to Earth, your human friend's origin planet."

My stomach drops, anywhere but the vast wasteland of Earth.
