Deep in space, a blue Draken spaceship was on its way to a deserted Planet to observe it. The ship had a triangle shape front and dark yellow tinted window with an elongated tail where the five main engines where and two wings that reached out from the centre of the ship that could move in a three-hundred and sixty degree circle vertically and in a hundred and eighty degrees horizontal, which was used to control the movement of the ship.

Inside the front of the ship was the command centre where there were four Drakens. Drakens were a Race of Dragons located in the Darkness galaxy. They were two point two meters in length and they all had blue armoured space suits on and when they didn't have their armoured suits on their entire body was covered in black scales, had a short neck like a human with a Dragon like head with red eyes, a long tail, they had five sharp claws in the shape of a human hand, and two large wings. Only two of them looked different as one was a Female who was slightly smaller in stature and the other one was wearing a green cape and standing in the middle of the command centre and had a weird flower symbol on his left chest which was a C for his captaincy and his name was captain Hunter.

The female pilot was in front of the ship and she turned to her Captain and said that they were approaching the Planet and that she sent images to his command prompt and he angrily replied that he could see the Planet by looking out the front window, but then he smiled and said thank you Link the images are more clearly than what he could observe through the window. Hunter then turned to his left and asked if there was anything to report Zander? and zander replied no sir nothing in sight but it's a large area to observe all by myself, and the captain grew angry again saying that he wasn't paid to sit around and snooze and that they were in a no return zone and can't be helped if something went even slightly wrong, but smiled again stating that he was proud that he has the best observer the planet had to offer. The captain then turned to his right and asked have you send the pods out yet Alex? And then Alex replied no sir! I'm still waiting for Link to give me authorization to stabilize the ship, and link replied before the captain could speak and said that they were almost in proximity of orbiting the planet, and then hunter looked at Link and said link it's very rude to interrupt the... and then she said Alex you can stabilize the ship now, and he replied yes mam, link then turned to the captain and said sorry sir for interrupting you but we can go forward the whole time or we will enter the planets' atmosphere if it has one, and then the captain replied never mind you know what I was about to say. Alex stabilized the ship and then Link sent out a detection pod onto the planet, while Alex sent out a collection vehicle inside a landing pod. Hunter looked at Link and asked how long it would take to establish what elements are present on the planet, and she replied according to the planet's size it would take them approximately twenty four hours, and then the captain turned to Alex and asked if he landed the pod yet? But the room became silent as captain Hunter observed that Alex was concentrating on the pod and not paying attention to anything else and then the captain smiled again. Finally! Yelled Alex and he looked at his captain and said the pod is safely on the ground sir, I will start the observation of the planet's surface after Link has finished the scan of the planet's surface.

After twenty four hours they were all busy working as Zander took over from Alex, who was looking at observing around the ship as everyone went to sleep. Zander now continued observing around the ship and Link was sending pictures of the planet and all information to the captain as he looked through all of it while Alex went to sleep. After a while Alex woke up and went back to the command centre and Link then finished the scan and sent all the information to the captain and she gave Alex the go ahead to observe the planet's surface but he said that he was waiting for the planet's statistics before he let the observer out. After a short while the captain set all the statistics of the planet on the huge window of the ship's right side. Alex observed everything than said that he could let the observer out to start drilling and picking up samples, Hunter turned to him and asked how long it would take and Alex replied I'm not sure sir but it would take approximately 4 hours of drilling according to the charts, but we never know what type of rocks the drill has to go through.

After five hours Alex finished the observation, and was busy getting the observer back to the pod when the alarm went off and they all knew that it was zander who set off the alarm, hunter turned to zander and asked what is it an enemy ship, and Zander replied unknown ship on camera D-A-8 and the captain asked what direction the ship was heading too and he replied right at the planet sir! From the direction of the unknown sectors, and the captain replied we are in the unknown sectors and then Zander replied that there must be another planet in their solar system that the unknown ship is from. The captain then said take evasive we will grab their ship from behind using the planet's moon. Link fired up the engines and he said that they would distract the enemy using two escape pods, and Alex asked what about the pod as he turned the ship towards the planet's moon, and the reply leave them came from their captain.

The flew past the moon around the Planet as the unknown spaceship followed them then when the other spaceship was out of sight they let loose two escape pods that flew in opposite directions across the Planet as they started circling the moon as Zander tried in vain to contact their home planet. Anything to report asked the captain and link replied no sir and just then Alex shouted they turned around sir! And then they just flew past the escape pod. Hunter asked Zander if their Shields were up and he replied yes sir but there is another ship observing the other ship, i think they are testing to see what we do to the first one, and then hunter said let's go capture the ship then. They flew in next to the unknown ship that was round disc shape spaceship that had a single engine below the ship and then Zander sent photos of the other ship to the commander it looked slightly bigger than the ship they now grabbed with the force shield but had two engines beneath it and two extrusions in front of the ship but it the round shapes of the ships were the same.

Link was preparing to fire their guns at the enemy if needed, as Zander managed to bring both Link and his escape pods back to the ship. The Drakens tried all sorts of communications but they all failed, finally the captain told Zander to send out a docking bay to the side of the ship that looked like an entrance and he did what he was told air locking them to the ship. The captain told link to keep her eyes open if anything happened as Zander, Alex and hunter prepared their hand weapons. link then told them while they were getting ready that the other ship opened its doors and that there were six genderless humanoid reptiles looking at the other spacecraft, the captain then replied they are Aliens who have visited our Planet before according to folktales, and link said that they had nothing on them, and the captain replied good. The three Draken men then continued towards the Aliens and as they opened their ship to see them Hunter walk in front of the other two and as he lifted his hand to greet them the reptile aliens turned around and started running towards their ship as another hidden one jumped from the ship and fired a green plasma at them hitting Zander in the stomach, Alex and hunter then fired upon them hitting two of them as hunter opened his suit's headgear breathing a ball of red fire and hitting the one who shot Zander. When they both entered the spaceship Hunter yelled at Link shoot that spaceship now! As Alex grabbed zander and ran to the Medical room. link shot the ship and then she saw the other ship firing upon them from the two extrusions in front of their spaceship and hunter entered the room and link asked over the communicator to the medical room if Zander was okay, and the reply came from Alex as he entered the room no he's dead. and then Link almost started crying as the captain released a heat wave behind the ship and shouted get us out of here as link fired up the engines and Alex ran to his desk and steered the ship away from the heat wave but Link confirmed that the blast of the other ship was going straight not towards the heat wave.

The Drakens then followed the alien spaceship but was outrun by it as it vanished into the atmosphere of a neighbouring planet, quick said Hunter let's go home and report this. Alex turned the spaceship around and headed to their home planet. Hunter took over Zander's job at communication when they entered the known zones, and got through to the general of their planet and he asked anything to report and he replied "yes sir! The planet can be terraformed but we have one Draken to report dead sir! And the general asked how it happened and hunter replied! That's the bad news sir! The good news is we found another race to enslave!
