Brooke/Talise's POV

I hear loud noises upstairs, meaning Jason is in the house!!

Dalis and I went for a walk to tell Asher.

Asher, Taylor, Caspian, Neris, and Chanelle were working on the ship.

I saw Taylor, so I approached him. "Hey Taylor, where is Asher? I just heard noises above us."

"I'll be right back." Taylor dropped his tool and ran.

About 5 minutes later, everyone ran back to where I was standing.

"Let's go get Simone too." I'm still not used to saying 'Tristian,' so it's Asher for now. We followed him to the main living area.

"Everyone, it is imperative that we all stay down in the shelter. We have everything we need to survive here for a long time. The ship is almost finished. Now, we can hear them, but they can't hear us. Brooke, I need you to remain calm. If you want, we can take turns between watching Dalis and working on the ship."

"Yes, I am okay with that. I want to help us leave this dreadful place."

"Okay, anyone can show you what needs to be worked on. Jason may be in the house, but we are safe. Caspian and I are almost finished working on the electric elements of the ship. Taylor, Neris, Chanelle, and Simone are working on the seating area and bridge for the ship. We will also have a kitchenette for everyone to eat."

"Asher, we have the baby chair for Dalis to sit in. I can multitask. Just show me where to go."

Asher/Tristian's POV

After grabbing Dalis' chair, Brooke sat her in it. Then, we all went back to the ship.

"I don't know anything about electrical, so put me anywhere else."

"So, how about you help Neris with the seating? The frame of the chairs is finished. Neris is making covers and cushions."

"Okay. That's something I can help with."

"Brooke, follow me. It's pretty easy, so I'll show you."

Neris, Brooke, and Dalis walked away.

With Brooke helping us now, the ship will be finished sooner, then we can leave this awful place.

Tuesday, April 28th, The Year 2220

Drake/Kairius' POV

We had a massive amount of ships with us to search each planet. First planet is Dolriea. It took us three days to arrive here. We don't even know if the planet is even inhabited.

"Can someone open a channel or something so we can communicate with the other ships?"

"Yes, Master Kairius," one of the pilots said.

I have no choice but to get used to that master stuff. I just don't feel comfortable being called that.

"Okay, so here is the plan. My brother and I will lead two teams to search the planet. Since the planet is uncharted, there is no history. So, everyone will need to wear suits for protection. The medical teams will monitor the oxygen levels of each person. We'll cover a territory, then fly to the next. The process will be repeated until we search the whole planet. Gentlemen start putting on your suits that will be handed out by the medical teams on your ship. Then, we will meet on the surface. Drake out."

Max and I went to the medical bay for our suits. It took us about 15 minutes to put them on and make sure the medical team could see that it was registering correctly.

They gave us a thumbs up. "You're good to go. Stay safe down there."

Each ship had well over 200 crew on it to help with the search. And, as well it should. Each of the crew had their own medical doctor.

When I say Paerus is loaded, I am not joking. The king and queen take excellent care of their citizens. Healthcare is free for the royal family, but it is very affordable for others. Racism does not exist. As a matter of fact, it is against the law. Every citizen is treated equally and fairly.

Everything is affordable, even food, clothing, and housing.

It took a while for everyone to get changed.

Max and I stepped off the ship. Most of the crew was off their ship.

Max stood to my right. Each crew member was told to stand either to the left or to the right.

"Max looks like everyone is here. Let's do this."

***********************************

Friday, May 8th, The Year 2220

Our search came up empty on Dolriea. We just landed on Vedretis.

This planet appears to have buildings, but no citizens.

We applied the same search method as Dolriea.

****************************************

Friday, May 29th, The Year 2220

Vedretis came up empty as well. So, we are now at Geleron. Geleron is like Vedretis, except this planet has people. And they look like us - humans. I wonder why this planet is uncharted?

We noticed they were walking about freely. So, I was about to get off the ship until I was stopped.

"Master Kairius, let someone else go out first. Just because they look like us, that doesn't mean our bodies can take in their air," Zachariel, one of the servants said. He volunteered to go.

We watched him walk around for several minutes. Once he gave the okay, we stepped off the ship.

Again, we went off in teams to search for my family, including Asher.

We asked around to see if, we can broadcast over a radio or whatever they use to communicate. We told them we are on official business from Paerus.

A part of my team was led to whoever runs the planet. In turn, they gave us all the help we needed to search for my family. Let's see how this one goes.

*******************************

Friday, June 12th, The Year 2220

Dang. We have searched three planets and nothing. I am losing my mind here. We are almost at Brisothea.

"Drake, man I hope this Brisothea planet does not come up empty. After this, I need a vacation."

"Me too, Max."

"Gentlemen up ahead is the Planet Brisothea. And I don't like the looks of it," Pilot Saniel said.

Drake and I looked out the window and Saniel were correct - the side we could see looked abandoned and dark.

"Let's fly around and see the whole planet. If it looks the same, then there is no point landing."

"Right away, sir."

Saniel flew closer and around the planet. I grabbed a pair of binoculars to get a closer look. I saw burned buildings and a oddly placed house. "Max, look at this. There is an oddly placed house, then not too far from it are burned buildings."

"That is very strange. But look up ahead several miles. Part of the planet is livable. Let's fly to that side of the planet."

"Right away, sir."

Sure enough, was saw people walking about on the sidewalks, cars driving in the streets. How in the world is this planet uncharted? Maybe because the other half is a mess.

"Please state your business in Brisothea," we heard a voice through the radio.

"We are here from the Planet Paerus," was all Drake said. We were given clearance to land at the planets port.

Me, Drake and several guards walked off the plane. We were greeted by several officials. I better give them our official names.

"Welcome to Brisothea. My name is Tartys. I am in charge of the port."

"My name is Kairius, and this is my brother, Tamesis. It's very important that we find our family. Their names are Merissa Dionne, Nami Darya, Talise Jaleh, and Tristian Rimulus. Tristian is the future king of Paerus."

"Follow me to my office." He started running, so we followed behind.

He immediately picked up the phone and made a call. Tartys was on the phone for a good 20 minutes.

"The ruler of this side of Brisothea will assist in any way we can. Transportation is on the way to meet you back at your ship. Let's head back."

With all this walking and running, I will stay in good shape.

As soon as we made it back to the ship, we saw several cars, speeding our way. What kind of fuel do they use here?

About six guys with suits and dark sunglasses got out the cars.

"Welcome to the peaceful side of Brisothea. My name is Hamon. I am in charge of Security. Please tell us what you need to search for your missing family."

"Here is a list of names and pictures. Tristian is the future king of Paerus. Will our crew be able to help with the search? We have well over 400 with us."

"We'll split everyone into teams."

After everyone was split into teams, Drake's team went one way while I stayed with Hamon.

"Can I ask you something? You just said the peaceful side of Brisothea. What happened to the other side?"

"The other side of the planet was destroyed by an evil alien that goes by the name Krohals. We put up a strong fight to keep him from taking this side as well. We may have won that battle, but so many lives were lost that day. No one knows where Krohals is now. And we don't know if the land is repairable so Brisothea can become whole again."

Just great. "That's the one whom we believe kidnapped my sisters and Tristian. We did see an oddly placed house. It looked to be brand new and someone was living in it. It's not too far from the boundary line."

"Once we finish this side of the planet, I will take you to the oddly placed house."

"Thanks. I appreciate it."

Monday, June 15th, The Year 2220

Jason's POV

If I have to blow up this house I will. I went downstairs so I could work my way up.

I went through every room, thoroughly. But not this one. Why is air coming from under that wall?

I punched a hole through the wall and saw a cave. "So, this is where you are Asher?"

Brooke / Talise Jaleh's POV

We are finishing up the last touches of the ship. We should be able to fly away from here later today. I can't wait.

Oh gosh, I hope I am not pregnant again. I don't feel so good, and my last period didn't come.

"Tristi, can you watch Dalis? I don't feel so good. I feel like I am going to faint."

"Of course, love. Get some rest. We'll be leaving here tonight." After Tristi kissed my forehead, I put my hands on the wall and walked back to our room.

I just laid on the bed until I fell asleep. But I heard a noise outside of my room. "Who's out there?!"

"Chanelle?! Simone?!" I got up off the bed to see where the noise was coming from.

"Hello, Brooke. I know you are happy to see me."

*********************************

Asher / Tristian Rimulus' POV

"Power up the ship, Caspian. Ladies and gents, it is time to leave. I'll be right back with Brooke." We have no idea what time it is, but we are getting the heck out of here.

On my way back to the living area, I saw that it was trashed. I ran to our room fast! "Brooke?!!!!"

Please tell me Jason did not find our cave. "Brooke, where are you?!"

There were words written in the dirt wall we made.

"Don't worry about Brooke. She is in good hands."

That sucker took Brooke!! I ran back to the ship. "Caspian and Taylor, Jason found our cave. He's taken her!! Chanelle, Simone, and Neris look after Dalis and stay right here!!"

"Oh no!! You have to get her!! Go!!"

Me, Taylor, and Caspian ran upstairs and out of the house!!

Drake's POV

Once we crossed the boundary line, we ran over to the house. We saw several figures running out of the house.

"Asher?! How in the heck did you get here?"

"Max?! Drake?! I'm happy to see you guys. I'll explain later. Chanelle and Simone are in an underground cave in the basement with Neris and Dalis. Dalis is your niece. Brooke was just kidnapped by......."

"Krohals!! There are two sides to the planet. We just came from the good side. We'll go with you!!"

"Asher, I'll stay. You, Taylor, and the guys go get Brooke!!"

"Caspian, is it? I'll go with you to help get the ladies on the safe side of the planet."

"Thanks, Hamon. Asher, lead the way!!"
