1 The Black Hole

In the deep black galaxy, a human federation spaceship is floating.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Sound of sword bashing.

"Hei You Scoundrels Pirates! Now you will surrender" The man in the captain's suit speaking loudly.

"Okay-Okay! We Give up already" the pirates were surrender easily.

"Ha-ha, now I will conquer this sea," Said the captain.

"How is it honey; do you like it?"

"Well, it's not bad. You guys really funny in that dress" Said the woman who is watching the fight.

"Okay, that's enough... Thank you guys for the hard work, now get some rest and back to the station".

Bzzzz, all the surrounding is changing, the boat and the sea is disappearing turn back into a white space area.

It turns out they are cosplaying as pirates using virtual technology.

After all the crew is left the room there is only the captain and his wife.

The Captain of this spaceship is John Dux 38th years old, a man with an accretive look. And his wife is Ave Levian is the space biologist, she is levian race.

The levian race is one of the races in the Federation, after humans start to explore the depth of the galaxy they found many humanoid races. Join their forces and technology they established Star Federation.

Levian races have pale blue skin and dark hair, they specialized in researching flora and fauna in planets within the federation.

"Honey, why do you like this scene a lot?" John curiously asks Ave

"I also don't know either, maybe is the baby" Ave answers while she touches her belly.

"It's 4 months right now, you're better to get rest now. I will make a report first".

Then Jhon and Ave leave the virtual rooms and back to their room.

After several minutes they all back to the ship deck, all crew is ready in their position.

"Hey, Shepard how are our condition?" John asked Shepard the first mate of the ship.

"All in the best condition sir, we can go anytime" Shepard answered.

"Can we open a communication link with the nearest outpost?"

"I'm sorry sir, it looks like the distance is too far away. We could set comm relay at this point".

"All right, dispatched the comm relay".

Then the whole crew is all busy dispatch comm relay, Comm Relay is shaped like a small satellite and used for relay the communication link to the federation home base.

While every crew is busy dispatching the relay, John is on deck making the ship log.

"Voyager 705 – Log number 1098, After three years of the expedition we found three planets at the Z quadrant location. The last planet is most suitable for the colony, with good temperature and level 8 gravity and it's old about 3 billion years, it's was younger than earth and with primitive live form. We are all ready to dispatch our three comm relays to trace back this location. Report out."

After they were done dispatching the comm relay, They all back to the station. John sitting in the captain seat: "Ah, at last after 3 years expedition, we can go home now. All crew set Location to home base"

"Aye Capt" Shepard answered with a smile on his face. After three long years of the expedition, they finally go back home, they are all very excited.

"Honey, how bout the specimen you gathered?" John asked.

"It's a good harvest, we found more than 100 fauna and 200 flora specimens. With this specimen, we can develop new founding" Ave answered with a satisfied smile.

Suddenly "Alert! Alert! Alert! All crew back to the station" The sound is repeated three times.

Jon and Ave rush to deck along with all the crew.

"Report Sir, the system found spatial energy fluctuation in 100km"

"It's Look like a black hole, everybody set evasive new direction! We can't risk entering the black hole"

While the crew is driving the ship in a new direction, the ship is alert once more: "Alert! Alert! Alert! Star storm is approaching in 5 minutes".

"What the hell is happening? Why there was a star storm near the black hole?"

"It seems that storm come out from the black hole"

"Activate the shield!"

The Storm attacked the ship, even the shield can't hold the storm.

"System detect level 7 storm; the shield can't stand any longer"

"Use the Fuel to power up the shield!"

"Sir, If We force to drain the fuel we will not arrive at the station "

"Let's hope they found us after we arrived at the home base system"

"Warning - warning – warning, the shield level drop to 50%"

30% - 20% - 10% - 5%

"Warning - warning – warning, the shield is broken"

After the shield broke down, the ship is quite damaged.

"Damn! We are lucky that we are still alive" John is still shocked.

"Sir, we managed to survive the storm, but this ship is no longer able to go anywhere"

"We must gratitude that we are all in one piece"

Then John gives orders to all crews: "All Crews, enter the shuttle and set up the direction to last comm relay."

All crew rushed their way to enter the shuttle and were dispatched from the main ship. There is only John and Ave still in the main ship.

"Honey, what are you doing? We must go to shuttle"

"I'm must save my project first, this specimen is our three years work"

"All right, do it quick. I don't know how much longer this ship can hold"

Right now, all dispatched shuttle is 100km distance from the main ship.

"Why the captain is not going?" Shepard with a confusing look at the shuttle windows.

Suddenly the black hole they found before is pulling massive energy, and the main ship is sucked.

All the survived crew watch this event with shock.

In the main ship, John and Ave feel the ship is trembling.

"What happens?" Ave asked.

They are already inside the shuttle but the system won't dispatch from the main ship.

John tries to access the ship system but it's doesn't work. With curiously, he gets out of the shuttle and back to the main control room. John and Ave are all shocked by the view.

They see a black tunnel along with many color stripes along the tunnel wall.

"We are in the black hole!"

"I'm sorry John, because of me - we are sucked into the black hole"

"What to worry honey, as long we are together"

Suddenly the color stripe barge in the ship and struck Ave and John.

In the middle of the black sea of the galaxy, a planet with cyan color is drawing some asteroids. In the middle of the asteroid, a black hole appears then throws a spaceship.

John and Ave are confused by the situation because never before anyone can survive from the black hole, it seems that the black hole is not a black hole after all. It's a wormhole.

"It's a wormhole? but why did the system read it as black hole" John mumbled.

In the deck, John and Ave watch the surrounding, and they are aware that they are out from the black hole and in the middle of the asteroids. And when they watch closely there were many monsters in the asteroids.

"We are attracted with high gravity, It looks like that planet is pulling all the asteroids", John speaks with worried.

After a while, the ship crash-landed within all the asteroids on the planet, and the monsters are beginning surrounding the ship with vicious looks.

"Ah, shit! We are doomed" Jhon is getting worried while he hugs Ave.

The monsters approached the ship, but suddenly there was two light attacking all the monsters.

The two lights are blazing through all the monsters, after a while the situation is calmed down it's become quiet.

Jhon and Ave are curious about the situation when they look outside all the monsters are dead and there was two lights in the center of the dead monsters.

Suddenly the two-light barge in to ship and appear in front of John and Ave.

"Why your guys are in this place? This is not a safe place for living being?" The voice is heard in John and Ave's consciousness.

"What? Where are We? Who are you guys?" John starts questioning the two-light.

While they were staring the two-light transformed their form into humanoid form, the cyan light appears like a lady and the gold appears like a strong man.

"We are Starian Races, and this is Outer rings of Galaxy. Why are you guys in the place?" The Cyan starts asking again.

"Ah… Don't bother with all the questions, looks like they were lost" The Gold light starts to talk and he walks near John and points his index finger to John's forehead.

John and Ave are confused and scared, they can not move while the gold light puts his index finger at John's forehead.

"They are sucked into the black hole, and appear in the middle of asteroids," the Gold Light says to Cyan light.

It appears that the gold light can see John's experience with that method.

"Don't be afraid, we mean no harm to you" The Cyan light talks to calm down John and Ave.

After a while, they discuss the situation. From the discussion, John and Ave found that there was a high intelligence race live in near of galaxy core. The races are starlight races with a strange power. And there were three sections in the galaxy, the Inner Ring is closest to the galaxy core, then The Ring where many living beings and The Outer ring were lots of space monsters. Their location right now is the Outer ring.

Humans federation location is in the middle ring section of the galaxy.

They introduced themself as Stella (Cyan light) and Sidius (Gold Light), they were at the outer ring because they were healing from the past accident.

"There was no living being able to live at the outer rings. It looks like your guys are lucky or doomed. Try not to bother our business, your guys can settle in this place while we think about a solution to get your guys back to the system" Stella speak to John.

"Thank you, for saving us" Ave speak with sincerity.

And then the two-light disappear and back to the middle monster corpse. They were pulling something from the monster corpse that looks like crystal.
