Coughs! Coughs!A young boy of about ten years sat up, coughing violently. His dull eyes swept around the surroundings and he frowned.Where am I?The cool breeze cleared his mind and some bits of memories finally surged to the surface of his mind.Blood! Ruins! Destruction!As the horrifying scene flashed in his mind, he trembled uncontrollably.Dylan had woken up a few days ago to find himself entangled amidst mangled bodies. With a great deal of effort, he had dragged himself out of the dome shaped structure.After walking a short distance, he staggered and fell flat on the ground. His dry lips trembled and a gust of breath left his mouth. “I don’t want to die like this.”He laid there, weak, helpless, hovering between life and death. He wanted to call for help, but there was nobody around, only an endless stretch of purple sand.Woosh! Screech! Rattle! A sea of wailing noises ripped the place apart. It was another cosmic storm.

There were dozens of guards escorting the carriage of boxes. His only chance was to take them by surprise.“Buzz…” the chief guard frowned, seeing the flashing red light on his medallion. “There is something wrong with one of the boxes.
