"Make sure the kids are strapped in! Make sure you're strapped in!" Acinom ordered as he fought to direct the octagonal shaped metal ship. It was an advanced ship, and luckily Aci knew how to drive it. But they had long ago ran out of fuel and making a crash landing. Luckily they were finally in line with a planet. It had all being a rush, evacuating from their come planets, Etrippe and Iiines because of a deadly virus that had wiped out 90% of the population in less than a week. It was deadly to them.

"They're strapped in!" Nyleve, his mate, sounded worried.

It didn't take long for them to come crashing into the space port. There was nothing Aci could do. They had lost all power to the ship. Eventually, it came to a stop in a mass of broken metal. The door opened and a young boy, no older than 3 came crawling out of the wreckage. His hair was long and black, his skin dark brown with weird paler lines all over. He was dressed only in shorts. His eyes were a deep red colour, unlike anything that had been seen before.

In fact, this species had never been seen by anyone before. It was the first time they'd left the planet. They were an android/alien race, the Xupra, that had never left their planet, and no one had visited theirs.

The little boy stood up, battered, cut and bruised before he started to cry.
