Andi:

I felt the ship rock, making us hold on to each other as it suddenly landed somewhere.

I stood up and peered through the circular window and saw a ramshackle city covered in neon lights and different aliens of all shapes and sizes roaming metal covered streets.

The place looked shady like it was not meant for people of good breeding to be here. It was home to illegal means of business and it made me shiver but I calmed down as I fingered the small chip that was embedded in my right wrist.

The prototype Mom had brought was the first battle suit I created personally but because it was uniquely attuned only to my body. I made the current battlesuit from a more "universal" material but this prototype I have is actually better.

"Mother....wake up. It is time." I nudged my mother who woke up from her sleep.

"I am ready.... Are they coming?"

"According to the number of hours, they will be coming to get us off the ship now."

True to my calculations, the alien dogs came and stood in front of our cell, their snouts twitching at the musky smell.

I frowned, aside from providing a small amount to time for us to take care of our bodily needs, they did not offer a bathtub for bathing so they can't complain that we smell a bit.

Before I could even surprise them, however. One of them pressed a panel and suddenly the cell was flooded with a gel substance that covered the whole area. At first, I panicked that they were trying to drown us but oddly...

I can breathe and my skin felt tingly. My first concern was my mother but she seems calm as the gel suddenly drained out as fast as it came in.

I blinked as I noticed that the gel melted all our stuff! Including our clothes and my mother's bag.

Thank God I had my prototype suit inside my skin chip.

Both of us cried as I covered myself, even though the gel clean our bodies and we smell clean, the problem is that we are both naked as the day we were born.

But the cell guards suddenly entered to cuff us, I gasped as they dragged me and my mother once they were done chaining us.

Not yet.

I gave my rattled mother a look, who nodded and followed my lead.

Just as these aliens led us to the exit hatch and opened it. Just as the fetid air of the planet greeted us; I moved swiftly.

"Mom!" I yelled out as she understood and fell to her knees, ducking for cover just as I pressed my skin chip and yelled out.

"AT-000.Battle Mode."

Because this was a hybrid militarized tharp that learned to create a nanorobot battle suit according to my detailed specifications after years of experimenting, The Athena battle suit covered my body in less than 0.5 nanoseconds.

In an instant, I fried the cuff's power chips, rendering the restraints useless, and used my battle gauntlets and fired zero gravity spheres on the alien dogs which enveloped them in a floating bubble and flung them out of the hatch just as my mom activated the hatch til it closed up.

I heard several growls as the hatch door suddenly got dented. The bastards were trying to get inside.

"Okay. I... did not plan this through." I said to my mom, who was ushering me to follow her to the ship's cockpit.

A dark control panel spanning some advanced flight controls, levers and a huge floating sphere where the pilot's steering should be made me swallow with trepidation because I don't see an autopilot switch anywhere.
