"Griffin Graves, you have stood trial and have been proven guilty. For reasons known, you stand on the executioner's square to await your death. Your house and personal belongings will be taken and you will be killed in the most painless way," The world committee says. Everyone takes their positions while a member of the world committee hands us all guns, one with the bullet.
"FIRE NUMBER ONE!" A member of the committee says. Sierra pulls her trigger and... nothing happens.
"FIRE NUMBER TWO!" Another member says, as Eric pulls his and... nothing happens.
"FIRE NUMBER THREE!" Yet another member says. Vexon pulls his and... nothing happens.
"FIRE NUMBER FOUR!" The last member says. My turn I think to myself as I pull the trigger. Nothing.
"FIRE NUMBER FIVE!" The first member shouts, as Sean pulls the trigger, yet nothing happens.
"FIRE NUMBER SIX!" The second member shouts, as Vara pulls the trigger and... out comes the bullet. The crowd gasps.
"I knew that I would kill him," Vara says, as Griffin's body sinks underneath the ground.

"Code Red! Code Red! Xander has escaped and is terrorizing Earth's inhabitants," The computer says, beginning the take-off sequence.

"Hang on!" I say to everyone.

"Now arriving at Earth," The computer says, landing on top of the house where we could see fires everywhere.
"What?! How could Xander have caused this?!" Dillan says, outraged.
"I don't know," I reply. "It might be what he is."
"What even is he?" Sean asks.
"See previous statement," I say.
"Hostile found. Fire missiles?" The computer asks.
"Yes but fire stun," I say.
"Command acknowledged," The computer says. "Firing."
"Hope he doesn't mind," I say to Sierra.
"Who knows?" Sierra replies.
"I don't," Eric says.
"It was a rhetorical question, Eric Snyder," Sierra says, ticked.
ZAP!!!
"RARRRRRRRRRR!" Xander shouts.
"Let's go grab him!" I say, piloting the ship to Xander's location.

"Xander! Put your hands in the air and come slowly!" I say, over the megaphone.
"Why should I? You shot missiles at me!" Xander says, angry
