We met at the training centre like Ulight told us to and there were suits waiting for us.
They were black and were skin tight - a flexible material, but seemingly bullet proof too.

Just as I was admiring these 'costumes' we were then directed to a man called 'R'.
He went on to inject the 3 people, including myself, with venom.

A boy with white hair and a slight reddish tint on his skin must be from Elitetron because he didn't get one.
I wondered if we would all turn a reddish colour now, just like him.

Afterwards we got guided to a large ship, nothing like I had ever seen before. As we were walking up to it I could see the exterior was almost reflective, just like in the simulation room. Yet this was much larger and it was absolutely gorgeous. As we were escorted inside the ship, almost like prisoners, we were told by tbe guard we had an hour to get to know each other and then we were scheduled to leave.

After a couple of minutes a voice muttered
"Oh bloody hell, I can't stand this anymore" in a strange accent. It was said by the Elitron boy, sitting in a slump yet still with good posture.

All of a sudden, the boy to my left with red hair stood up.

"My name is Ethan from planet Startron, as you've probably guessed by now, I think this is quite possibly the worst thing that's ever happened to me." He said in a sad, yet strangely stuck up, voice.

The boy with white hair spoke out from the corner.

"Ink. From planet Elitetron, and if im being honest i don't want to stay with you bunch of wan-" his voice raising slightly at the end. But before he could finish his sentance, it was almost as if someone had cut off his tongue.
It was not uncommon for the people of Elitron to be taught to act like this, to stop them from acting out, but even from what I had just seen, his case was extreme.

Something about him drew me to him. He had this almost rebellious behaviour to him, despite his stiff movements.

After looking, for what was probably too long, his head stroke up and his eyes looked straight at me - I could finally see his features. I was instantly blown away.
This boy was godly, inhuman. He had soft features, including his eyes which were a chocolate brown, yet his cheekbones and his jaw was sharp along with the harsh lines from his clearly muscular and toned body.

Snapping me out of my trance, the girl with lime skin and the brightest blonde hair you've ever seen, bounced up gracefully.

"Well my name is Tabi from the beautiful planet Fortron and I don't mind this job, whatever makes people happy, I just don't want to kill that life." She said very concerned and sickly sweet tune.
Her nature made me want to vomit and I had to resist the urge to gag at her words.
In the corner of my eye, I could see Ink notice this and looked over at me through thick, long eyelashes.

I decided to make my announcement, despite the cringe of these greetings creeping up me.

"Sylvester, unwanted. And guess what, I don't want to be here either." As soon as I said it everyone flinched at me and looked at me with disgust.

Everyone except from Ink. I noticed him staring at the wall, seeming to smirk. Out of nowhere, he flashed a knowing look at me and then down to my hands.
I realised my hands were so tightly fisted, from the others reactions to me being a reject, my nails had dug into my hands and they had started to bleed a thick purplish red.

Not again I thought.
I unclenched them and a loud siren started, following with a booming voice.

"All travellers please sit ready in the ship to go. The autopilot has been set for Earth and you will arrive there in approximately 1 day. Make sure you put your saftey masks on as you will be in hyperdrive. Food is in compartments and you can access the control panels if you need help with anything. You have all been trained to fly a ship, so you should already know these things. Good luck." And that was it.
I scarmbled to strap myself in and braced myself for the take off.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

I hate this part, a whole 5 minutes of blurry sights and the feeling of nausea, although Tabi was actually sick. I suppose she's not used to flying in her nature consumed planet.

We stopped in what was recognised as the solar system. Much like ours but with only one sun and what is called a moon. A whole day trapped with these lunatics. Fun.
