Blam! The beam fell and crushed the man that stood beneath it, his head exploding and sending bits of bone and viscera everywhere. The people in the surroundings breaking into screams and running for cover. Not realising what had happened the man’s spirit drifted off into the ether to continue its journey.

The mans consciousness came back with a start and tried to figure out what had happened.

“What the hell? Where am I? Come one think me, you’re smart aren’t you? Ah who am I kidding I couldn’t find my way out of a room with a single door.”

The man ranted to himself in panic before deflating.

“Still this is pretty surreal, reminds me of Doctor Who, just needs the music hehe. Now what the heck happened?”

“Let’s see I was on my way home from work, tired and just wanting to be done with the day. Then see I passed by the department store and it was under reconstruction, after the storm hit and the front was struck by lightning. Ah those bastards didn’t corden the place off, what bastards. Because of them I went and walked underneath it all unaware of the danger to the end. Ooh I would so sue their arse’s if I werent dead. Now I will never see the ending of Dragon Ball Super, I only made it as far as Goku and Vegeta’s training.”

The man finally realising what happened to him began to sulk, not because of his death but because he couldn’t see the end of some anime. As he sulked though, his journey continued through the ever spiralling tunnel of cosmic energy, leading him to his next destination.

“Wow this is beautiful, I wonder if I will remember this once I am reborn or whatever is going to happen to me. This must have been what astronauts felt like when staring down at Earth, truly awe inspiring.”

The man was shot out of the cosmic tunnel into a vast space where twelve marbles of unknown size orbited around one another, filled with endless stars and galaxies. A truly magnificent view that very few have ever had the chance to see.

The man then continued his journey heading towards one of the massive orbs and entering it. Once through the barrier surrounding the marble he began passing galaxies at incomprehensible speeds, unable to make any meaningful observations as he passed them, before eventually heading towards one planet in particular.

The man’s spirit then descended to the planet’s surface weaving in and out of buildings before eventually passing through a window and flying into the body of a well built woman with brown shaggy hair glowing down her back. She was getting dressed beside another man doing the same thing who also had messy hair.

“Well Kaba it was nice seeing you again but I got to get going, another planet to conquer and all. See you next time we’re both back.” The woman spoke with little emotion in her voice, as if it was a chore.

“Yeah yeah just get going.” Kaba replied in kind.

As the woman left she made her way through the halls and out of the building to another one with an open roof and lots of people passing through. She then made her way to a room with three pods sitting inside and three men standing around. Of the three men one wore a lab coat and was checking on the pods condition from a computer terminal. The other two men wore matching armour, one was bald the other short spiked hair.

“You’re late Sora. We should have left 30 minutes ago.” The bald one spoke gruffly.

“Shut up Tora, it’s not going to make any difference. We’ll get there on the same day as if i wasn’t late.” Sora replied miffed at his attitude.

“Ha! You’re just pissed she didn’t pick you as her mate Tora. Now stop your bitching and let’s get going.”

After that was said the three of them got in their pods and strapped in ready for their journey. The pods lifted off and they made their way to a planet to wreak havoc. Months passed as the trio lay waste to the planet, killing its inhabitants. They did so with malicious joy, reveling in the pain and suffering of their victims. All the while Sora grew rounder and rounder until her fighting was eventually affected by it.

“You should probably get back so you don’t give birth in the middle of the battle Sora, we can finish up here on our own.” Hora spoke to Sora as they sat across from one another with a camp fire between them.

“Yeah you’re right, I’ll get the brat in an incubation chamber and wait for you two to get back. Then we can go off and do the same old same old.” Sora replied getting up and heading to her pod. “Don’t go and do anything stupid like dying on me, while I’m gone.” she said before her pod closed and lifted off.

In the time leading up to her child’s birth Sora trained her body, trying to get faster and stronger to surpass her limits. During this time she didn’t see Kaba. the birth was a simple affair little in the way of screaming and crying before the baby was placed in the incubation chamber.

“So what will you call her?” Asked the doctor.

“Alea” Sora replied flatly. She then cleaned herself up in the bathroom and left sparing no thought of Alea, to return to her training. Once more the months passed as she trained and awaited the return of her team. They had been through many battles together, saved one another's lives on occasion. They were the closest thing to family she had. This was a common trait among her race, they didn’t care much for blood but for their comrades.

Time once more passed her comrades returned and they all carried on their lives in the same fashion, conquering another planet. The time came for when Alea would be released from the incubation chamber. Sora had only visited Alea three times in the three years that had passed. The first time had been out of boredom. The second was interest in how Alea was developing. The Third time had been loneliness, she had spent the week training, Tora and Hora had gone off drinking, she wanted company but wasn’t one to seek it out. She then spent the night sitting opposite Alea. During that night she felt something for Alea, but didn’t understand what it was.

Three months passed since Alea was released Sora had taken Alea in and had been raising Alea on her own, she felt she was doing well. Alea rarely cried and seemed to enjoy close contact with her, Sora also found comfort in the contact and they slept together at night. Sora was preparing for another mission, putting on her armour. But unlike usual she was wary, she was unsure why but knew that it had to do with Alea but continued preparing nonetheless.

She left Alea with the care center and made her way towards pod hangar. As she made her way there she picked up mutterings that their races employer in the system and heading towards their planet. This made her worried and she had a bad feeling that something was going to happen. She returned to the care center and took Alea she then raced towards the pod hangar and barged into an unoccupied room and placed Alea into a pod, closed and then set about giving it instructions from the terminal and finally launching it off into the stars.

It was only 20 minutes later when Sora and the rest of her planet was obliterated from existence. Despite facing death Sora was content, filled with rage but did not regret what she did.
