Welcome to Earth

Lilli: You better hope we die Jaku'o!

Kay: I'd honestly prefer live right now so if you don't mind finding us a place to land, that'll be great!

Lilli: Fine!

Lilli took control of the ship and searched for a safe place to land. After minutes of flying over a vast land of trees, she had found an area in a forest where it looked like it wouldn't cause damage to its habitat and harm its wildlife.

Jake: Listen Lilli, before you explode let me explain. I-

Lilli: I don't care for what you have to say right now! Today was supposed to be my day off! I didn't have training and my plans were to relax in bed and watch tv. The fact that I was forced out of my sleep and was dragged onto an escape ship is giving me all the reasons to explode right now. Especially now that I know who ate my cake and realizing that I'm going to be stuck with you two for a while!

Jake: I understand your frustration, but you don't have to be angry about the cake, we can always get you another one!

Lilli: Do you know if plumperberry grows on this planet!?

Kay: Shut up you two, don't you hear that?

The air went from a gentle breeze to a bustling wind as a helicopter located and hovered over their position. The three looked outside their window and saw soldiers in armored cars start to surround them with haste giving them no chance to escape. As the soldiers rushed out of their cars to set their defenses, a girl with tan skin, black wavy hair, and dark brown eyes emerged from the swarm of soldiers. She walked forward and the girl raised her hand to signal the helicopter that it was ok to leave. The helicopter took off and the trees reverted back to their casual dance in the breeze. The area was left dead silent and the girl was making hand signals commanding some of her men to move out.

Girl: You have sixty seconds to explain who you are and why you are here!

Lilli reaches towards the controls and flips a switch turning on the ships speakers.

Lilli: Uh... We come in peace?

Lilli's voice caused the girl to take a pause before she asked her next question.

Girl: How old are you exactly?

Lilli: I'm fifteen ma'am.

Girl: Are you by yourself?

Lilli: No. I'm with my two younger brothers.

Girl: What is your name?

Lilli: My name is Lillien ma'am.

Girl: Well Lillien, what I need you to do is to exit your ship with your brothers slowly and with your hands on your heads.

Lilli turns off the speakers and looks at the boys. She closes her eyes and tries to muster up the courage to leave the ship. She releases a sigh and gets up to lead the boys outside. They put their hands on their heads and follow Lilli to the front of the ship where the girl can see them.

Girl: You three are really just kids huh? Well if you cooperate with me everything will be fine, but I'll let you know now. If you try anything suspicious, I'll be forced to take care of you in a not so friendly way. Now, I need you three to come with me. I also need someone to return this ship back to base, and for the rest of you. Well you know what to do. Lets move!

The kids follow the girl to an armored car and she instructs them to get in, entering after them. The car was silent as the kids had nothing to say, as for the girl, she had a little smile on her face watching them try their hardest to avoid eye contact.

Girl: Oh! Sorry, where are my manners. My name is Cece, I'm sixteen so you don't have to feel intimidated. I believe I've already learned one of your names and age so I just need to know the other two.

The boys look at each other to signify who would go first.

Jake: I'm Jaku'o but everyone calls me Jake. I'm thirteen.

Cece: Jaku'o huh? Nice name, and what about you little one?

Kay: My name is Kayleb and I'm ten years old.

Cece: Well hello little Kayleb, nice to meet you.

Lilli interrupts Cece out of frustration.

Lilli: Before we continue this ma'am, but are you not worried that we might try to escape? This all just seems to good to be true.

Cece: Well no, I'm not worried. This car is fitted with a limiter, so not even I can use my powers. Also that limiter is the only thing keeping you alive right now, that is if you were planning on escaping. So I strongly advise against it. Plus, you probably wouldn't even be in this situation if you had just waited before entering the planet. We radioed you multiple times and even sent you messages so you could verify yourselves, but they were ignored. It's a good thing your ship has the word escape on the sides of it, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to land.

Lilli giggles nervously to herself.

Lilli: Sorry about that. I was asleep, but it's not like you have an entrance tower anyway so it's not entirely our fault.

Cece: Well there's reasons for that.

Jake: I have a question for you Cece. What is a girl your age doing leading a private military?

Cece: Well, do you know that every planet has a world government?

Jake: Yea, but what does that have to do with the question?

Cece: Long story short, on earth it's called the secret government. They know who my father is and that is the reason why they left me in charge. Sounds crazy I know but I'm only one of three people who can actually protect this place.

Kay: So you're a Queen?

Cece: I wouldn't say "Queen", reasons being because we don't necessarily have a hierarchy here. Also because nothing serious has happened here for me to be an official "Queen".

The car comes to a complete stop and Cece looks out the window. She grabs a black box from under her seat and puts it on her lap.

Cece: It looks like we're here. We're going to have to finish our conversation some other time. In the meanwhile I'll give you a quick introduction. Welcome to planet Earth.
