Escape from Earth: New Beginnings

***Note from Author***

This story is a work in progress.

"Belsavion is 10 days away from the Milky Way Galaxy, in the Vyspire Galaxy" Hatcherin tells me as we load the last of my belongins in my new AT-A5 spaceship. "You'll be a lot safer there. I wish I could go with you, but my place is here on Earth. We're going to fight the Ashraa'h until the bitter end." Hatcherin tells me as we prepare my ship for takeoff.

Life on Earth as we know it will soon come to an end. Efforts to stop the Ashra'ahian Death Fleet at Exocron Station failed. 1/3 of the United Attack armada was decimated by 1000 Ashr'aaian Nygon 06 Attack Frigates and 3 Equalizer-class laser guns.

My name is Victoria Dewlan Garrison-Wade, from New York City (forgot to introduce myself). I just turned 29, about 2 weeks ago. Up until 6 months ago, I thought that we were alone in the universe...until my friend Hatchern Talbot blew the lid right off that belief. He told me that my former boyfriend Patrick Saval wasn't from Earth, but from a planet in the Vyspire galaxy called Belsavion and that he could prove it.

Hatcherin showed me top secret government files that had me gasping in utter shock. The government was keeping aliens right under our noses!

1 month ago, Hatcherin told me about the rumors that the Ashraa'h were going to invade Earth and it'll happen when we least expected it. That's when I started getting my affairs in order, preparing to leave Earth at a moment's notice.

From what I've been told, Ashraah torture methods are so horrible, the victim will plead and beg for death. The Ashraa'h originated from the Nygalius Galaxy, 5 million light years from the Milky Way. For 1000 years, they have terrorized and murdered countless billions of beings. The Ashraa'h are extremely hostile and will kill and plunder when the opportunity presents itself. They used to be a friendly race, respected by many.

Unfortunately 1000 years ago, Ashraa'hian Emperor Kazyu'ai Em'hl killed the Yamitan Republic's President's son because he assaulted and nearly killed his daughter, the Princess Ali'ha'aral L'mit Em'hl. And to make matters worse, he invaded the planet he found the son on, and refused to give it up (it was under the rule of the soon-to-be former Yamitan Republic

Kazyu'ai then proceeded to lay waste to Yahmita, assassinating the Yamitan President and most of his family. Those who survived fled and went into hiding.

From then on, the Ashraah were known to be a vicious, unforgiving race with no regard for anyone else but themselves and their allies.

For the next two hours, Hatcherin and I talked about our lives and what direction they'll be going. Hatcherin will join the rest of humanity and fight the Ashraah. I have a feeling that it will be a futile fight, a fight that will be bloody and brutal. Countless people will die before it's over. We even talked about the beautiful sunset, the last one I'll ever see on Earth.

I know that Belsavion has thousands of beaches. Once I touch down on Belsavion, I'll be going to one of many beaches to see the double suns set (the Belsavion System has two suns).

Earth isn't prepared to fight an invading enemy. For many years we believed that we were alone in the universe. We were very wrong. Unbeknownst to us, the Ashraah were watching us, to see how we were developing and to pick the right time to invade. Humanity won't stand a chance against them.

As I prepared for liftoff, Hatcherin gives me 5 manila envelopes and told me "Do not open them until you've reached Belsavion and in private. Let me know that you're OK...if I'm still alive." With tears rolling down my face, I give Hatcherin a hug and went back to my preparations.

Thanks to him, I would be able to pilot my new Belsavii AT-A5 Syvati spaceship (which has been in service for nearly 75 years). to the Vyspire Galaxy without a hitch.

Thanks to my best friend, I would be spared of the chaos that will soon erupt on Earth when it will found out that their pristine planet will be invaded by a very hostile and ruthless enemy. I know for certain that vicious fighting and riots would soon breakout.

The Ashraah will lay waste to Earth and millions upon millions will be either killed or forced into brutal slavery.

The trip to Belsavion would take me 10 days (via Hyperwarp). I would have to make 50 Hyperwarp jumps in order to reach my destination. As I fly away from Earth, I think of the friends and family that I'll be leaving behind. At the edge of the system, I saw the Ashraah Death Fleet...and knew it was time to get the hell out of dodge. I sent a warning message to Hatcherin, telling him that the Ashraah Death Fleet was at the edge of the system and it was time to prepare for a fight to the death.

I then jump into Hyperwarp, leaving behind my beloved home planet.

The 50 Hyperwarp jumps nearly wore me out. One Hyperwarp jump landed me in the Andromeda Galaxy, where Hatcherin is from. I was able to buy food and supplies before my next Hyperwarp jump. By the time I was halfway to the Vyspire Galaxy, I was nearly exhausted, but I knew I had to get to Belsavion, to start over.

At 0300 hours, I reached the Vyspire Galaxy. at 1400 hours, I reached Belsavion. I was very exhausted and couldn't wait to get some sleep!

My destination was to the city of Triniik-Orek, located on the continent of Vyspire. Hatcherin had left me a house and a large sum of Belsavii Viritas (10 million) which would be equal to 25 million dollars, US currency. He also left me another spaceship, a Hybarite SP-48, a ship armed to the teeth.
