Ryfel looked up at the sky again. He saw a flash of light. Using his portable remotuscope, he looked into the sky to see a Jantenza ship. They werent badly designed.
Some day, a Cansrian ship will blast the Niirs type Jantenza starships into a million pieces, each and every one of them. Some day every Jantenza world would belong to the great Cansrian Empire. Some day, the Jantenza would be their slaves.
That was not this day.
"Shorgun! Leith! GET TO THE SUTTLE!"
The two males grabbed their sons and ran for the large shuttle, the rest of their family trailing behind. Ryfel ran deeper into the forest, where his family was. He looked at them, his three wives, 3 sons, 5 daughters. Just because they were warriors did not mean that Cansrians were hardened by life. They had emotions. So believe that that was how Ryfel wanted to live. If it meant being isolated from the rest of his friends and never getting his vengeance on the Jantenza, he would asked for his family's lives to be spare and for them to live forever on this planet.
But Crayak had chosen a different path for him.
Two huge pulses of Static Ion energy fell from the sky. The Jantenza's weapon of choice. His family saw it, and ran for him as fast as they could. Those first two took out the stragglers – one wife, two daughters, and a son. Ryfel was shaken, but he still had two wives, two sons and 3 daughters. They had caught up to him, and they began running for the shuttle.
Along the way the Jantenza caught their life-signs on their advanced sensors. They bombarded them with Static Ion pulses. The yellowy-blue pulses found their way to his 3 daughters, another son, and both wives. They had been taking up the rear to push the daughters on. Now it was just Ryfel and his son. He grabbed him by the back-ridges, and carried him the rest of the way. He threw him into the shuttle, and just got in as the doors closed.
The shuttle lifted up off the ground. It's engines lit up and it flew out of atmo at .89 x C. On it's way out of the system, it fired a few uvaser beams at the Jantenza, then translated to Z-space. Safe at last. Destination: Anywhere.
A flash of light signalled the Cansrian shuttle, Pyret'h'ar, as it exited z-space. Sensors picked up a lush watery world. There was life there, but that was no consequence to the rogue cansrians. They landed the shuttle in an area they believed to be uninhabited.
