The End of Heroism:The Beginning of a Revolution

Chapter 1: The Message

You already know who I am and what I can do. Since we last met, we were shot across the galaxy to an unknown, desolate section of space. I think I have a case of hireath
Well, we have been adrift for the last two weeks(by Dennis's calculations) and the engine of the ship is completely destroyed. Food and water  are going to run out in 2 days. We have tried go rarion it as much as possible but it is still ruining out faster than what we expected. Oxygen is going to run out in a week which is better than expected. At this point we have searched ninety percent of the ship and there is no one else on it. Casey and I train everyday while Dennis tries to map out where we are and reads through ship logs. We have found that the armada that invaded earth is in fact one of the weakest in the entire race as we are undeveloped compared to all the other races in the galaxy. We also found that they knew nothing about the Tri-balance except of the captain and they had no information about it on the ship. We found a lot of highly advanced weapons, armor and gadgets in the armory and we are still trying to figure out how half of them works. We all go to sleep at around the same time but I never get any sleep due the nightmares that I have been having. I then pace around my room and then go down to the shooting range and test out my powers. I am getting better at aiming the energy blasts and they are more powerful now. I have also noticed that even when I don't use my powers, there is still static electricity running through my fingers and every time I touch electrical objects on the ship, they short-circuit. One of the cooler things that I have seen is that, I have a purple streak in my hair and my pupils have purple rings around them and they are getting thicker.

It seems like I trained myself to sleep, last night as I woke up in the ship's gym. Casey was standing over me with a smirk on her face. "Couldn't sleep?" , she asked
"Yes. I came down here to see if I could knock myself out," I chuckled as I got up while she helped.
"Well, that's nothing new," she looked at me with those black eyes that dig a hole into your soul, looking for answers.
"How do you know that I haven't been sleeping?", I asked, scared about the answer that may just leave my mouth
"Well, every night, you scream hysterically in your sleep and five minutes later, you walk into my room to check up on me. I then notice the dim lights in my room flicker continously and hear a multiple thuds from the shooting range," she said, listing it all on your fingers
"So you have been awake this whole time?", I asked, surprised
"I was one of the best soldiers in The Brave Ones. Of cause, I would have woken up when I heard that you were awake,"she said, looking at me with those eyes again,"What kind of dreams were you having?"
What I said next, amazes me until today. I said, "The kind that sends your body into convulsive shock. The kind that makes you cry. The kind that feels so real that you are scared. The kind that...," I hesitated, "The kind that makes you realise who is important to you because you watch them die in those dreams." I stalked off, my hands were engulfed in that purple fire. I could see or better feel that Casey was shocked. I got to my room and sat down in a heap of anger and sadness. I cried. For the first time in 6 years, I cried and acknowledged that I was crying and I let myself cry even more. I let all the built up emotions flow out and I relived all the dreams that I had.
I sat like this for ten minutes, completely drenched in my own tears, when Dennis knocked on my door. I wiped away my sadness and told him to come in. He was all frantic when he walked in and his voice sounded shaky when he said,"You need to hear this."

He lead me to bridge(the part of the ship that they use to fly the ship) and I saw that Casey was there already with a serious look on her face. "The transmission came in two days ago," Dennis began, "somehow the ship switched on when it was sent."
"Well what is it," Casey and I said at the same time and looked at each other, uncomfortably.
"A distress call," Dennis said and pressed a button. There was a beep and the message played, "Calling all Katari! Calling all Katari! Mayday! Mayday! The Voltraxians are fighting back. We have temporarily lost control of Tri-balance point 2. Please assist."
"What the...," I could not believe that there was other alien races in the universe and that they were also being enslaved by Katari
"There are more?," Casey could also not believe what she was hearing. You could see the shock on her face
"There is so much that you do not understand," came a voice from outside the bridge and then the Brave Ones commander limped out to reveal himself
