It was the year 5145 on the planet Yubanar. it was the last day of first grade! as you could probably tell, I was ecstatic. I was running around playing tag with my friends I made that year. There was a bell I had never heard before then everyone started to bolt towards the door, I just stood there not knowing what was going on when all of a sudden my older brother, xyglophis, darted over, scooped me up in his arms, and made a mad dash for the door. When we were inside, the whole school started to rumble. I was gripped by fear because I didn't know what was going on but I knew it couldn't be good.
The teachers were telling everyone to get in the escape pods, two per pod, so Xyglophis and I bolted in one of them not knowing what would happen to our planet or our parents. The teachers warned us that we might not survive or we would end up in some crazy place. There were masks to put us into hibernation until the pod landed. But I didn't want to go into hibernation and neither did my brother so we didn't put the masks on for now.
               As we started to take off I looked out the window. It was insane how much more different our playground looked. Before the bombing it looked perfectly normal, now you could barely make out that it once was a playground. I asked my brother 
"Are we going to be okay?"
He replied "I honestly don't know but put your mask on it may be a very long ride."
I did what he told me and put my mask on, than I blinked I fell asleep for a very very long time. My brother woke up from hibernation first when we landed. He woke me up by removing the mask from my face. He whispered very quietly,
" Be careful there is unknown species outside.
" I looked up and the pod and the clock said your travel has been 1268 years. I looked outside and there were theses orangish four legged beasts with huge ring of hair around their neck. I was frightened to the point, my teeth were chattering. My brother locked the pod and we waited until they went away. While we waited I heard this weird noise. I asked my brother,
"Did you hear that?"
               He replied yes. It was something that was getting closer. When I looked out the window I got a glimpse of it. It was a big box of metal.  It was coming towards us fast. Then all of a sudden the beasts ran away. Then more and more big metal boxes came. They stopped a little ways from our pod and sat there . For a while all they did was just sit there. Then people that looked like my brother and I got out. They pointed guns at us. They looked different but we knew what they were. I asked my brother
"Should we go outside and talk to them?"
              He replied, "It might be risky but let's do it.
" I went first. I pressed the button to open up the door. I stepped out. I wondered  if I was not going to live again. But they didn't shoot. They said
"Put your hands up immediately."
              I told my brother
"If we don't, this could be the end."
We did what they told us. The people started running toward us. My brother said
"run."
I turned around and ran the fastest I have run in my life while he stood back and fought off as many of he m as possible. There were bullets flying all around me.
