Not My Father's Son: Draft One

Sandi and Ben

    ONE WEEK LATER:

    Bill had gotten used to his human body, the relationship that was spiraling down from the start between Hugo and Anjelica finally crashed into the ground, Hugo and Jessy were officially a couple, the entrance to the shelter was repaired and more security was added and Nadia and bill's relationship had strengthened greatly. Bill finally felt comfortable in his body, it was like a giant weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He finally felt himself. Also, Nadia grew wings! The last couple of months have been the most exciting of Nadia's life, in the orphanage, he had always looked forward to living a better life, but he never would've imagined that it would've been anything like this... Falling in love, finding out he was half alien, finally NOT being alone and feeling like he wasn't left out, he was at peace.
Meanwhile, the Quadras were spreading fast. An entire quarter of North America had been dismantled, terraformed and colonized by the quadras. Plants and crops that were from sciow had been cloned and planted in that area, making earth more like their home planet. Giant, thin, cone shaped, silver structures had been built as well. This species was extremely advanced and self sufficient, human armies didn't stand a chance; no matter how hard they tried, each time the humans attempted to eliminate them, they were wiped out instantly, and the quadras simply grew stronger.
    Nadia, Naoj AND BILL slept in those same, quadrin made beds in that same bunk.
    "YALL!!! YALL!!! YALL!!!" A loud, high picked voice screamed as it made its way towards their bunk.
    It was Trish, with a huge smile on her face, flying to their bunk as fast as she could. She landed inside the bunk, in front of the beds, without knocking.
    "Wh-what's going o-on?" Nadia asked in a tired tone, getting up off the bed he shared with Bill, rubbing his eyes that had dark blue circles underneath them.
    "WE NEED YOUR HELP!" She exclaimed, enthusiastically.
    "Y-yeah?" Nadia answered.
    "SO, WERE FORMING GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL GO UP TO THE SURFACE TO HUNT FOR FOOD! DONT WORRY, ITS PERFECTLY SAFE, ALL YOULL HAVE TO DO IS GET IN THE ESCAPE PODS AND USE THE ROBO-TENTACLES TO RIP CROPS FROM THE GROUND AND BRING THEM BACK DOWN HERE TO THE GREENHOUSE SO WE CAN AMOLE OUR SUPPLY! ALSO, TRY AND SNATCH UP SOME FARM ANIMALS! THE ONLY RULE IS, STAY AWAY FROM QUADRIN TERRITORY, GO NEAR IT, YOU WILL DIE! BY THE WAY I FORGET TO TELL YALL, YALL, HUGO AND AVRIL WILL BE ONE OF THE GROUPS!!!" She said all of this before sprinting right back out of their bunk.
    Nadia later down and tried to go back to sleep, but right as he began to doze off, he was woken up by the sound of Hugo and Avril stomping in and waking everyone up. Avril was the Indian lady bill had confrontation with...
    "Cmon all you lazies! It's time to get to hunting!" Hugo said, acting as if they were particularly excited to participate in RISKING THEIR LIFE.
    Bill woke up happy, not because of the hunting job, but just because he was waking up at all, waking up meant he had been to sleep, and sleep was a human quality, a quality he was finally able to partake in. Naoj woke up mad, not because of the hunting, but simply because she was waking up.
    The three of them got up and got dressed before heading out to the main room with Avril and Hugo. They got in the same craft they had been saved in. Nadia, Bill and Naoj were following Avril and Hugo, they had no idea how to control this machine or how to do what they were about to do, but they hoped the two of the, did.
    "So um... how do we work this thing?" Naoj asked in an annoyed to have to have to do anything tone.
    Before anyone had the chance to answer, a giant screen, shaped like the  head of a Quadra materialized in the middle of the ship. Nadia had noticed that much of quadrin technology resembled the anatomy of themselves, the only thing unexplainable were the tentacles that stretched out from the entrance of the machine. The screen showed some simple controls: tentacles, forward, left, right, back, land, up, attack, shield and ground mode. It was very self explanatory and no one needed to wonder how to use the machine. There were no windows on it, but on the screen, there was a box that showed their surroundings in 360°.
    Hugo took the controls into their own hands and lifted the ship off the platform. It flew out of the entrance and up into the open air. You could see for miles. What a sight to behold, it was the most beautiful thing any of them had seen in weeks, they greatly missed their home, but they knew that staying there would be a death sentence, that's why they were in the shelter.
The world seemed dim and quiet, void of human life, and the only they saw were soldiers driving in karts with massive war weapons attempting (and failing) to attack the quadras. Hugo directed the ship to a woodsy area and sent the tentacles down to retrieve some possibly edible plants. They also ripped up some trees to help produce oxygen in the facility. As they were gliding through the woods to find things they may need, two people were visible running through the woods towards a pond.
They lowered the ship to them and spiraled open the entrance, sending down the tentacles to force them onto the ship, (saving them of course).
When on the ship, they began to panic, in fear that they were being attacked, until they looked up and saw a room full of humans staring down at them.
"Who are you all!? Where are we!? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH US!?" The 5 foot tall, heavy set women with short, black hair asked in fear, holding her short, slim son in her arms.
"I'm Nadia, we're rescuing you two! Don't worry, please, before you know it, you'll be safe and sound in an underground safe haven for innocents. At the moment though, we all are searching for things that will be good for the facility, sit tight, well be heading back soon."
The two of them were in shock, it appeared as if they hadn't showered in weeks, turns out they hadn't. Hugo tried to hurry to make it back to the shelter, they wanted to get the two new guys safe as soon as possible.
