The night is dark, as if the sky covered with a heavy colored blue blanket.

Suddenly, a ship that shines white light emerged from the sky.

The people near the shore endlessly looked at the ship that is descending from the heavens.

As it came closer to the ground, the large spotlights turned on and directed their vision on the ship.

The ship, carrying countless cannons on the side, showing a large laser gun in the front, and small protruding rectangular shaped lines all over it's body, most likely missile launchers.

The shape would be ideal for long range travels, but since it was built during the 21st century, the design is outdated. The wings in the side are holding two huge engines each. The body is separated into two parts, two oval shaped components connected in the half of their length; with the wings attached in the middle of the affixed contact. There is also a vertical stabilizer in the back. The lower oval shaped body, which is protruding to the front, most likely contains the mechanical quarters and controllers for the ship and the one in the top contains the rooms and meeting places. There is a glass across the upper body, which is the only viewing location to see the outside in the ship. Just like the old design for planes but mixed with some sci-fi elements to take on the stress of space travel.

The mothership falls into the beach water with a reduced impact because of the vertical boosters' work.

Then a light outlining a square appeared, opening and letting a series of stairs fall into the sands.

A person walks from inside the ship, accompanied by two guards armed with guns never seen before by the Planetarian Military.

"I came as promised."

The man in a red robe said, with a golden crown above him.

He continued to walk on the sand towards the center of the military camp. The eyes of the surrounding people are fixed on him.

"Ah.. The feeling of the sand on my shoes. It's been a long time."

A man emerged to meet the King bringing two armed men with big blue guns, bowing his head in respect.

The guns looks like regular M4A1s, however the barrels were extended to accommodate the blue rings that circle around the barrels into the insides of the air vent. With the vent still used to hold or to install grips for better accuracy.

'These must be the rumored automatic rail guns' 'Truly outstanding technology.'

Comments were heard from the spectators.

"It's also a long time since we saw each other, King Leuch Eve."

King Leuch smiled.

"I can say the same thing to you, Commander Richard Lockart."

"So how's the space?"

"It's okay, but there are further details I cannot discuss in here."

"Fine, but we recommend you to  lock your ship down."

"Why?"

King Leuch asked with pure curiosity.

"For safety reasons, neither side wants to create a battle right?"

King Leuch laughed at Commander Richard's proposal.

"Hahaha! You're still as clever as ever. Alright then."

King Leuch whispered something to one of his men and that guard ran towards and inside the ship.

"Then, shall we proceed?"
