Sorry for the late update, but a quick update. I will now be uploading within a three day radius, so expect new chapters every three days. Though the next new chapter will come after I'm finished re-writing the first twelve chapters. I've finished the first four so long if you want to go back and check them out

"Shuttle three reporting in", a voice inside one of the few small shuttles spoke into his helmet, the clouds of smoke blocking most of his vision, "not getting any visuals up here, to much smoke", he fiddled with a few buttons and a holographic picture appeared on his dashboard ,"scanner's show multiple crash sites-", the man stopped and stared at the projection of the mostly intact part of the ship, a large red dot appeared coming off the ship and moving at a fast pace ,"-wait got something, not sure what but something is moving from the wreckage"

"Shuttle three this is base, is it perhaps a group of survivors or maybe even a shuttle escaping the wreck?"

"Unlikely command, this thing is to low to be a shuttle-and nothing should be in working condition after that crash", the red dot begun to fade slightly, blending into the many other heat signatures from the burning wreckage, "dammit", he whispered, "command I'm having trouble tracking it, there's just to much interference from the wreck"

"Ehh copy that shuttle three", small whispers can barely be heard from the other side, "continue scanning, could just be debris breaking off the main wreck"

"copy that", the man looked out his window to the smoke covered ground, if there was something there was no way he could see it in this condition. As the shuttle moved along he failed to pick up the heat signature of a single black haired creature leaping through the wreck and into the mountains.

A flash of black and blue skipped over rocky terrain, dust and small rocks kicked up from the sheer speed of the creature. Tall mountains covered all sides and provided shade into the caverns below. The creature stopped in a flat-ish clearing, the mountain's caverns all seem to gather at the clearing. The creature bent over slightly and began to breathe heavily. Black hair fell over the creatures eyes as it's breathing became steady again, it's eyes opened halfway and it's mouth fell into a snarl. Damned fire. The creature is also know as Ben, formerly the great Ben Tennyson - not that he'd remember. Ben hissed in pain as he lifted his arms and began to inspect the many scratches and bruises, he couldn't see the bruises due to his new darker, smoother skin but could feel them non-the-less. It didn't take long for him to feel other's presence closing in on him, he wouldn't have to wait for long.

One by one creatures of the same species began to surround Ben, after a few minutes the clearing became an orchestra of hissing. Many minds communicating all at once as well as their swirling emotions of anger, fear and distress was enough to give a normal human a headache. Ben watched his fellow brothers, it was so strange how quickly situations could turn.

...About 2 hours ago in New Dawn space...

'I did it', Ben said to himself as his vision was covered with a flash of red and a loud sound, his head jerking to the side as he realized that the hole was on the left side of the human's head - right next to the ear. In a state of what can only be described as shock Ben turned to the source of the sound. There stood a man holding a firearm. The expression on his face was the same state of shock, clearly he meant to shoot Ben and not this human now dead below him. He and Ben made eye contact, it was like time had slowed down as the human quickly recovered from his state of shock and aimed his weapon higher - towards Ben. Ben however, was still frozen from his initial shock.

"What the Fuck!", the sudden scream of one of the other bridge crew members drew the attention of Ben and the human, breaking their eye contact. This was enough to snap Ben out of his trance, his eyes quickly went back to the human before him in time to duck behind the nearest cover; which happened to be one of the control panels. Ben's body twitched as more shots rang out in his direction, hitting the control panel he hid behind. Sparks flew over his head and small flames began to rise, Ben could feel the heat sinking into his skin and it burned, more than it should have.

"Stop shooting you fucking idiot! That controls the engines!-", the bridge crew member had no chance to finish as the ship shook violently, sending the crew falling in different directions as the ship's engines were not stuck at full throttle. Ben saw this as his opportunity to escape before he could end up like his was-to-be prey. when the shaking subsided he leapt into the above vents, adrenaline rushing through his veins and he sped through the narrow maze.

"... Return to me my children ..."

...Present...

And that was it, as far as he could tell all his brothers made it back with him aboard the Vallhala. The boarding tube barely held together as the smaller ship's engines pushed them further into this planets atmosphere. Though they had survived so far he could not say the same for everyone, the humans had no chance of surviving the crash like them. Ben felt the minds of some of his brothers fade with the crash, even now some are fading. Those around him felt the same grief and pain as he did.

"Silence!", the hissing died down a little as Green hopped down from a ledge into the clearing close to Ben. "glad to see you made it", Green said to Ben as he came closer, Ben could feel the slightest bit of relief come off his presence. The other's minds began to speak out again.

"Where are we-"

"Is the Mother-"

"What do we do?-"

"Shut it!", once again the voices fell silent as Green addressed his brothers, "Now is not the time for panic, we can grieve later-"

"Your one to talk about grief", one of his brothers interjected, Ben believed the called him Red, "you don't seem to affected by your own brother's deaths"

"We all are-"

"It looks to me like your only looking out for that human-"

"Don't go there Red, you know Ben is one of us", Green's vibe became more angry, Ben knew where this was going. Red hopped down to face Green head on.

"I'm just saying that he was not always one of us, he to would done the same as any other human! That is all his species does! They take away all hope!", Red turned and exclaimed out to those watching, "They invade, take and destroy. They are parasites-only thinking of themselves", Red turned back to Green, "And to me it looks like you have adopted their selfishness-", Green tackled Red to the ground, hissing and screeching filled the clearing as it turned into an arena. Green and Red struck at each other with their claws. The others resumed their bickering and once again everything fell to chaos and panic. Ben rushed forward to separate the two that were fighting.

"... Perhaps you are right"

A voice so calm and beautiful, yet it carried a rumble that can only resemble thunder. The entire arena went silent, even the two fighting froze in place as every head turned to the shadows. A large crown emerged slowly from the darkness; it to cast a shadow over the clearing. The much larger form slowly came forth, "... Perhaps hope is lost. Ben's pathetic species is to blame for all that has come to us", mighty footsteps shook the ground as the legs emerged, "... However ...", with all parts out of the shadows, the Queen's mighty presence brought order and stability to the once chaotic arena, her gaze fell over her children. "Do not misplace your grief as anger towards Ben", her gaze lifted slightly, "or anyone in-fact, everyone here feels the same pain. you, Ben and I feel the same grief", the Queen moved past Red and Green; who immediately moved apart, "Ben is a different case from all of you, but just like all of you he is a blessing", she stopped at a large rock, "with him he provided us information to his species, as well as new ways of thinking, Ben is one of us", the Queens word were indeed comforting for Ben to hear, it even comforted his brothers. "Your anger is not wrong it's just misplaced", her massive claws raised into the air, "his former species has no excuse for the pain-", in a flash her claws stuck the rock, "-anger-", again, "-misery-", again, "-and grief-", with one final slash, "-Just like those who created us, our Gods", with that the once soled rock was now carved out into a makeshift throne, she lifted herself onto her throne and faced her children, "even our creators faced our might in the end", she gently sat herself on her throne, "and so will these humans", the energy had completely changed, the aliens began to chant and cheer in their own way. Every word that came from the queen rose their hopes and sparked more anger towards humans, "now my children, let us show them our might ..."
