The station was deathly silent and left in ruin. Certain sectors were blown to pieces and rubble floated lazily nearby. The shields were holding where it could to keep life support. Though not many survived the attack, and those that did were taken prisoner.

Keyshot walked through the broken parts of the ship as he looked for survivors. He stopped at one point as he watched things float around. He activated a feature in his systems that kept his feet on the ground. He slowly walked down the hall but knew no one survived this area. He stopped suddenly as he stared blankly through a gaping hole in the ship.

He looked at the stars and the inky blackness that surrounded them. The robot glanced at the planet far below and wondered how they would get there. Everyone and everything was just gone. There was nothing left and he knew it.

After a few minutes the robot continued to search the entire station. He found the main area was still intact enough to support life. But only a few parts of it. He went to the bridge and repaired what he could. The robot managed to get the computer online and running enough to keep life support going. He blocked off the places he had searched thoroughly and cut the power there. He needed to keep the two alive until they got help. Once he was sure it was stable, he went back to them and led them to the bridge.

Arium was slower than normal and Treble became concerned. They got to the bridge and Keyshot immediately started on repairs. Arium worked on the computer as he sent out coded distress signals. Treble looked around and started to pick things up so she could help with repairs. She got to a pile of rubble and worked on moving things out of the way.

A hand suddenly shot out and grabbed her ankle. The girl shrieked in surprise and fell back as the hand held on tighter. Arium and Keyshot ran over and tried to pull the panicked girl free. The robot quickly moved the rubble away and they stared in disbelief at the captain. Autho glared darkly as he coughed and finally let go of the girl.

Arium knelt by his side and looked him over. He then got up and set up a makeshift table. Keyshot drug the captain to it then carefully put him on it. Arium quickly got to work at helping the captain. Treble watched and helped the best she could.

"Oh..." Autho growled lowly as he looked at her. "The space rat managed to survive." He spat as the others worked. Keyshot went to scanning the station for anyone else.

"It is not a good idea to insult those that have saved your life." Arium rumbled and narrowed his eyes. Autho grumbled something under his breath before passing out.

Treble went to one of the side doors and grunted as she pulled it open. She wanted to help somehow and get them off the station. She went into the room where a light flickered, she realized she was in the captains quarters. She looked around for something useful and found a secret door. She furrowed her brow and opened it to reveal a passage. She hesitated then followed it to a secret hanger. Her eyes widened as she saw a small spacecraft. It was a little damaged but not much. She ran back to the others with hope in her eyes.

"Keyshot! Arium!" She yelled and ran out of the room. They looked at her and furrowed their brows. "I found a ship. We can get out of here." She grinned as she panted quietly. Keyshot followed her and they surveyed the damage.

::We can have this up in a few hours... technically longer... we don't know where the parts are.:: he said. She furrowed her brow then smiled slightly.

"Leave the part finding to me." She grinned and started looking around the safe area. It took her the rest of the day to find everything they needed.

Once Arium was finished with the captain, he went to help her. Autho had surprisingly only suffered from a broken arm. He had bruises and cuts, but that was all. He helped Keyshot with the bridge, but grudgingly. Arium and Treble worked for a full day on the repairs of the aircraft. Once they finished all four gathered at the hanger.

Keyshot managed to get power down there so they could get the shield up. The robot worked on getting the hanger doors open while the others did the finishing touches on the ship. Autho told Treble to retrieve something while Arium went to help Keyshot. The girl looked at the captain as they sat in the cockpit.

"Is... is it really that important?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes. He looked at her and glared darkly.

"I'm still your captain and you still take orders from me." He said seriously and she glared as she left the ship. She was half way to the passageway, when they heard the engine start up. All three whipped around to look at the spacecraft as it slowly rose into the air.

"Autho! What are you doing?!" Arium yelled angrily as he ran towards the ship. The captain growled lowly and shoved the lever forward. The spacecraft jolted and took off like a shot. The blast knocked Arium back and he winced as he collided with the wall. Keyshot attempted to call the captain as Treble ran to the doctor.

::Autho come in.:: Keyshot said seriously as he typed quickly.

"What?" The captain snapped as he flew away from the wreckage of the station.

::Why did take our only escape?:: he asked as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Don't worry." Autho chuckled darkly and smirked. "I'll send help." He sneered and ended the call. Keyshot stared at the screen then punched it hard, breaking it instantly.

"Keyshot..." Treble whispered as tears fell down her face. The robot looked at her and then the doctor. The old alien was laying on his back as his breathing slowed. His body was giving up. The girl was kneeling by the doctors side as she held his massive hand in her tiny ones.

"Arium... please... stay with us. We don't have anyone else. I know you're hurt, but we can find a way to help you get better." She said quickly as he slowly opened his eyes a little.

"I... can... not go... any... further..." he rasped weakly and gripped her hand a little. Keyshot knelt by him and took his pulse. He knew the old alien wasn't going to make it. The blast and impact had hurt his already weak body.

"Please... I already lost Ligh... I can't lose you too..." she whispered quietly and gently rested her forehead against his. He closed his eyes as blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

"I... will always... remember you... child..." he rasped quietly and inhaled painfully as he tensed.

"Shh... it's alright..." she whispered as tears fell down her face and on his cheeks. "Go to sleep Arium... go to your family..." she choked back a sob and stayed with him. He smiled weakly and slowly relaxed again. She stayed there until he passed away, then stayed a while longer without moving. Keyshot watched them but didn't say anything. He only hoped they could survive until help arrived.

A month later....

Treble watched as the Galra approached with their weapons. They aimed at her and demanded that she surrender. She narrowed her eyes and gripped the hand of her war hammer. She let out a battle cry and ran at them then hit them.

"Freedom!" She screamed and continued to hit them. Others came and shot her repeatedly until she fell to the ground. She looked at them as she felt the pain and slowly closed her eyes.

"Tell... my family... I died... a free..." she trailed off and went limp as she breathed her last breath.

::End simulation:: Keyshot said and walked over to her. ::I feel you aren't trying anymore.:: he said seriously.

"Ugh! I'm dead.... we don't speak." She said as she flopped on the floor again.

::You just spoke.:: he pointed out and worked on the system. She sighed in exasperation and got up then sat by him.

"Why hasn't anyone come to save us yet...?" She whispered and hugged her knees to her chest. "Why didn't they come a month ago?" She asked as tears filled her eyes again. Keyshot stared at her but didn't respond as the computer beeped.

::I'll have to shut down sector four... we have only one sector left... we're running out of power.:: he said as he typed. She was silent for a while as she fingered the amulet Arium gave her as a child.

"Keyshot... are we going... to die?" She asked quietly without looking at him. He stopped suddenly and looked at her as he thought of her question.

::That... unfortunately... is our outcome.:: he said quietly not wanting to scare her too much. Though he knew he would live longer than her.

"Will... you stay with me?" She asked as tears filled her eyes. "Like how we stayed with Arium." She whispered and finally looked up at him. He hesitated then sat by her.

::I... cannot provide the comfort you seek... but yes.:: he said and she hugged him tightly.

"Just don't leave me." She begged as her tears fell down her face. He stared at her then wrapped his arms around her gently.

::I won't...:: he promised and she closed her eyes. A few minutes later the computer beeped and they heard static as it tried to play a transmission. Keyshot looked at the computer then walked over to it. The computer beeped again and Treble looked at another screen. Her eyes widened as she stared at it.

"Someone hacked into our system." She said as her eyes widened more. "They forced the main hanger open... now they're on the station!" She said in a panicked tone.

Keyshot ran off and grabbed a big gun he had found. He ran out and went towards the hanger. Treble put her space suit on and grabbed her war hammer as she followed. They ran down to the said hanger and peaked into the room.

"Is it the Galra?" Treble asked quietly through the com. Keyshot looked at her and pointed towards the bridge, telling her to get back.

She glared at him then tightened her grip on the war hammer she made out of the stations wreckage. He didn't respond and peaked into the room where he saw spacecrafts that looked like lions. He stared at them and watched as people came out of them. The pilots gathered together and looked at the green one.

"This says that there isn't a signal life form on the station." The green one said as it looked at something on its wrist.

"It looks like this place was attacked a while ago." The red one muttered as it folded it's arms.

"Probably by the Galra no doubt." The blue mumbled and the red one glanced at him.

"Anyway..." the yellow one muttered and watched the leader walk around a bit. "This place gives me the creeps... can we go?" He asked.

"No..." the leader muttered as he stared straight at the hallway the two were hiding. "Someone is here." He mumbled and the others looked at him in surprise. "Stay here." He said seriously and walked towards the hall.

"They could be hostile." The blue one hissed as he watched him. He didn't respond and got closer. Keyshot stepped back and cocked his gun, he then jumped out of hiding as he aimed at the man's head. He didn't say anything and the others gasped as they prepared to fight.

"Like I said hostile." The blue one said seriously and slowly approached with the others. The leader who wore black held his hand up to stop them. He glanced behind the robot and saw the young girl.

"We don't want to hurt you." He said seriously and gently. "We got a distress signal and followed it here." He said and Keyshot slowly lowered his gun.

::Here to rescue?:: he asked as he glanced at each of them. The green one seemed excited but tried to contain itself. Treble slowly peaked out and stood a little behind the robot. She gripped the war hammers handle tightly as the leader looked at her. He smiled kindly and held out his hand to shake hers.

"My name is Shiro." He said and she hesitantly shook his hand as she eyed the metal one. She looked at him then smiled slightly. Maybe they could trust them.
