A UFO flew through the dark vastness of space. The passengers abroad looked like they were made of bulky gray 90s computers. Two of them stared, out the windshield.

“How long until we arrived?” The mystery man asked. He had a silver rectangular box face.

“Ten hours, seventeen minutes, and nine point eight seconds,” Mystery woman said. Her head was made of three boxes across from each other, the middle box held her silver face.

Mystery man #2 walked through the doors. “He’s coming after us.”

The ship shook as struck it by something. It began to be pulled back like a nail to a magnet. That's when a face appeared on the large computer screen.

“Turn back.” His deep voice said.

“RAM,” Mystery man #1 said.

“I'm already working on it,” Mystery man #2 a.k.a. RAM, typed away.

“As your king I command you return immediately.” Deep voice said.

“I need your hands,” RAM told his comrades.

They all put their hands on the computer’s control panel.

“Hyperdrive initiated,” The computer said.

“Don’t worry my king, we’ll be back,” Mystery man #1 said.

The ship tore itself from the pulling force and shot straight ahead for Earth.

On Earth, in a flash of blue, a girl appeared, she had rich brown skin and her black hair was in a braid. She wore a white tee, a blue skirt with a matching flannel shirt tied around, and heels.

“What?” Anna(The girl) said. She took in her surroundings, there were trees but they seemed to be made of sapphire, and the grass was blue.

She looked down at the thick little sapphire butterflies flapping their little wings around her. Then it dawned on her, her friends were gone. She raised her head up then gasped.

A creature stood before her made of sapphire. It was her height, with an oval face, big lips, and no eyes. It even had little butterflies wings on its back. Also, its arms and legs were shaped like logs.

Anna observed it, and it looked back even though it didn't have eyes.

It started to walk off, it looked back and waved its handless arm, gesturing for Anna to follow it.

Anna was hesitant, but it didn’t seem to want to harm her. So she started walking and stepped on a path of sapphire. And while Anna tried not to slip on it, her friend Cain was looking for her.

“Anna, Jamie, Cara, can anybody hear me?!”

The only ones who could hear were these little creatures that resembled origami birds but made of yellow topaz crystal.

Cain had brownish blonde hair and brown eyes, he was white and pale, and wore a yellow shirt, jeans and converses.

He was in a place like Anna’s except made of topaz, that and being surrounded by weird birds made Cain more determined find his friends.

He set off to when he was knocked down. When he looked up, he saw topaz. It flat but thick and crescent-shaped, the ends being wings, it also had a beak and hovered. It didn't do anything, just hover.

Cain slowly got up and started to carefully walk away, but the strange creature blocked. He tried to move away again, but it did it again then it, bent down.

Cain thought it wanted him to get on, that may not be the best idea but he needed to find friends and this looked like his best option. So he stepped on and it took off, he almost fell off but balanced himself like he was his skateboard.

Shun was having a different time than his friends. He was playing his guitar with the ruby fireflies and singing songs in Mandarin. He was kinda pale and his hair was a little long.

When it felt like something was behind him, he turned around and was met by two glowing red compound eyes.

This creature was made of ruby as tall as him with no arms but had two long shards of ruby floating behind its shoulders.

The creature had an intimidating aura about it, which caused Shun‘s heart speed up a little but he didn't let it show.

It looked at him then nodded up to the left.

Even though Shun didn't know if he could trust this thing, it could lead him to his friends. So he went along.

Three more friends are unaccounted for but they'll have their time.

Anna had finally made it to her destination. A clearing surrounded by trees, everything was made out of sapphire even the throne that sat in the center of the clearing.

Anna wondered how and why a place like this existed. 'Magic, maybe a mutation?’ She thought.

The creature she followed stood in front of the throne.

Anna had no idea what was going on, so she did the only thing she could, ask. “Why did you bring me here?”

The creature pointed up.

Anna looked at the sky, a ship flew into sight, it looked like a flying saucer.

“That?”

The mysterious creature nodded.

'What is happening?!’ she thought. “Are those aliens?”

The creature nodded again.

“What am I supposed to do?”

It nodded at one of the little butterflies causing it to glow.

The little one lands Anna's ring finger, a blue liquid began to engulf her, and panic set in her. Then the liquid crystallized, Anna’s heart was pounding, her chest heaving but she realized she was okay. “What just happened?*

The creature smiled and took a seat on the throne. The little butterflies and other animals gathered around their attention focused on the throne.

It wasn't hard for Anna to figure out that was their, queen? Assuming it was a girl.

A tractor beam shot down from the aliens’ ship then it faded away.

“Did they just come down?”

Anna received another nod.

“I don't know what you want me to do, but I can't handle this.”

The queen creature waved her butterflies over to the right.

The butterflies gathered until they formed the shape of a person.

The queen waved some more butterflies to the left, and they did the same. Both looked like a people made of flapping wings.

The queen pointed to the one on the right then pointed to Anna.

“That's suppose to be me?”

Another nod, the queen pointed at the left butterfly person then at the spaceship. She swung her arms together, and the butterfly people fought.

The right one kicked and kicked and knocked the other one down.

Anna finally understood what the queen wanted. “You want me to fight them?”

Nod.

“I don't know who you think I am, but I have no idea what to do, call the Navy or someone, or anyone who can really help.”

The queen wrapped Anna in a blue aura and levitated her.

This amazed Anna, she almost weightless. Blue flames shot from her hands. “I can do, you what I'ma stop, asking questions because I know you're gonna nod.” Wings appeared on her back.

The queen turned off the aura, sending Anna into free fall. All Anna could think was don't fall, don't fall! She expected to hit the ground but she didn't and then she realized her wings were flapping. Anna was a bit shocked and it was weird to be flying but she could get used to this.

“Well, this is unexpected,” That was from mystery man #1, on the ground.

Cain was having his own adventure trying not to fall off the hovering bird. When they came to a stop, Cain jumped off and tried to regain his balance, his stomach was doing somersaults.

Once it calmed down, he could take in his surroundings, yellow trees, and matching lake, which looked like a pool of lemonade, and there was the large stump of topaz next to it.

His hovering friend perched itself over the stump, and a bunch of topaz animals literally came out of the woodworks.

Cain gathered from their reaction and his size that, hover was the leader.

Boom! The sound rang through the area, and it didn't sound far away.

Cain decided to follow it, he walked through the trees and brush, and then he saw it.

A topaz pillar and the mystery woman. She punched it. Boom!! “Interesting, I expected it to crack easier.”

“Hey, what are you doing?”

She turned to Cain. 'A human didn't expect that’ she thought. She turned her attention back to the pillar and punched it again.

“Stop that!”

She punched it again. What the human wanted was irrelevant to her.

Cain wasn't gonna let her destroy this place. As if on queue, one of those topaz origami birds landed on his finger, and something like liquid topaz encased him.

Mystery woman watched curiously as the substance crystallized

Cain had, nooooo idea what just happened, but the little bird from before kept thrusting its body forward like it was pointing at mystery woman. 'It wants me to stop her, okay, come on Cain, you got this’ He looked at mystery woman. “Leave now.” He said in a stern voice.

She didn’t want to deal with this inconvenience, but oh well. She leaped forward and punched him straight in the chest.

He flew back and landed on his back.

Mystery woman’s hand electrified, and she was going straight for Cain, but hover bird, shot out of nowhere and fired an energy blast from its beak, knocking mystery woman away.

The leader pulled up next to Cain.

“Thanks,” Cain said. He put his hands on top of the leader, so to push himself up. He still felt sore from the punch. He might have to deal with another one though, as mystery woman stood up, her chest a little charred.

“Apparently, this is going to be more difficult I thought.” But Mystery woman was ready for the challenge.

Shun had been following his gemstone companion for what felt like hours. “Where are we going?”

It just kept walking, not bothering to look back at Shun.

Shun was frustrated, he thought this would lead him to his friends but he was wrong.

The ruby creature stopped in its tracks.

RAM was in front of them standing next to a ruby throne.

Shun is trying to process how he went from trying to leave school, to now with a mythical and a robot.

The ruby creature’s shoulder blades sent out like a red electrical current connecting to the two shards behind him. Now they can move like arms. He wasted no time launching them toward RAM.

RAM blocked one with his arm, the other striking him in the side, then the first one smacked him in the face. He was able to grasp ahold to the shards and chucked them back at the creature.

It still had control of its shards so they flipped over its shoulder and landed floating behind its back.

RAM rammed his fist into the ground, causing everything to shake.

The creature's shards electrified with magic and it began to rise from the ground then it charged at RAM!

RAM’s mini earthquake caused ruby trees to fall, one tree had ruby fireflies under it.

Shun saw it falling, he sprinted there, gathered the fireflies in his arms as the tree fell on top of him.

The ruby creature stared at the fallen tree, as RAM held off its attack.

RAM took advantage of its divided attention and fired an electrical pulse from his stomach, knocking the creature away.

Under the fallen tree glowed a red light, next thing the tree rose up and Shun threw it to the side. He was covered, in ruby armor thanks to the fireflies. He didn’t know what happened but was happy it did. He saw the creature on the ground and RAM heading for it.

Back with Anna, she was face to face with mystery man #1.

“Who are you, and why are you here?” ‘Please say you come in peace’ Anna thought.

“My name is Hard Drive, me and my associates, RAM and CPU, are here for your crystals.”

“Well, they’re not really mine, why do you want them?”

“You ask a lot of questions.’

“Well, how else am I supposed to get answers.”

“You’re gonna be trouble aren’t you?”

“Now who’s asking the questions?” She turned to the queen. “He’s not one of the good guys is he?”

The queen furiously shook her head no.

Anna took a deep breath and fired blue fire from her hand. The End.

Anna, Cain, and Shun’s adventures continue in the next installment.
