The Second Invasion - Chapter 1

I'm sorry this so short, but with my 14 year-old attention span, it was a miracle I made this in the first place.

The Second Invasion
CHAPTER 1

It was approaching midnight, yet another all-nighter. His name is Thomas Black. He was Argon. He was cruising at 100ms/s in the Sector Spilt Fire on his trustworthy Argon Mercury, left to him by his father’s will.

He finally approached the north gate, where in Elena’s Fortune he could make a few credits trading. He was just going into the gate when…

Suddenly the space around him exploded with great force. Squash Mines! He had crashed into 3 Squash Mines and he had ½ hull left and his shields were gone.

The space around him filled with Pirates. He was just short of panicking, but remembered he had some fighter drones. He always thought these were for emergencies or trading, but thank goodness he did not sell them on the way home. He launched his fighter drones and hoped for the best, and his hopes came true. The pirates were tangling with the fighter drones; and too busy to see that Thomas had made it through the gate.

He made a few credits passing through the sector first, and then docked at a station. He pulled up the BBS and looked for any missions and there were none, although one article had pulled his attention. It looks they are having a shortage of Meatsteak Cahoonas in The Wall! “Good.” He loaded up all the Meatsteaks he could carry and headed for The Wall.

After he had repaired his ship in Argon Prime, He had barely got out of the gate in The Wall when he took a look at the Sector Map, and Argon Ships were crowding in around one location, He went in closer to investigate, and it was a Xenon M0 with all kinds of Xenon/Argon trying to protect/destroy it. This could be a second invasion! He certainly hoped that he was wrong.

He tried pulling away from the Xenon, but one M4 and M3 had spotted him. He made a break for the nearest station, all the while dodging fire from the M4. “Dang girl, come on…”

But then a blast rocked the ship and he was sent tumbling into an asteroid belt.

He barely avoided an asteroid when he saw an Argon Nova floating out in the middle of space unmanned. Is this really the time for salvage? No… But then his decision was made for him. He was blasted into normal space by the M3. Then he saw many Argon Ships coming from the trading station and heading his way. Just what I needed…

A violet blast from the M3 caught Thomas and ship off guard, and as he was fading into unconsciousness, He saw a big fiery blast from the M0… That was all he saw…
