1 Chapter : 1

Boom bam boom pow.

The sound of chaos outside of the ship does not lessen from the beginning of the event. The only thing that comfort Michael is that he's alone in this piece of junk they called spaceship. Usually, even with only one man, there must be someone who will be guarding this ship since it still belongs to a rich merchant. But because of the battle outside, everyone hides inside their own home. Remembering the battle outside he curses to himself. "Fuck why the hell did I go inside this junk, I don't even know if this thing still works"

Suddenly just like a protest to Michael remark the inside of the ship starting to brighten up, all the lights are turning on. Michael starts to think that there was an AI in this piece of junk if not for the voice that follows. "Hey, it's still working! Hurray to me"

Michael starts sneaking up inside the ship to confirm whose that voice belongs to if they belong to. What he sees make him surprised, a girl around his age with a silver hair and a petite body is tinkering with the ship's reactor core. Sneaking his way across the room without the girl knowledge he stands behind the girl and grabs her mouth using his left hand while his right hand is holding a knife in her throat. "Answer quietly, slowly and clearly, why are you in here and what are you doing?"

"Mmmm mmm mmm" She thrashes around making Michael tighten his grips more. "I said quietly," Michael said before he starts to open her mouth slowly. "Pfuhaaa ahh hah, what is wrong with you doing something like that to someone you just met, first release me and we will talk" After releasing her and sheathing his knife, he finds something to sit on and start asking a question "Now, what are you doing in here?" The girl seems startled with what Michael just said and ask back "What!? Who are you to ask me that, this is my ship, well more precisely my father ship. Nevermind that I am the one who should ask what are you doing inside MY ship"

"So you are that merchant daughter, why aren't you inside a bunker like the rest of your family, don't you want to be safe. Besides for a merchant daughter, what are you gonna do with the ship?" Michael ask again seem more and more curious."Nah, they just a stepfamily anyway and he takes me in just to fill a quota or something like that be-" *shake* boom *shake*

"Oh yeah almost forgot, if you can fly this shit than I suggest you to fly right this instant. We better leave this planet today before the whole army of Primeval Federation is here" Michael said while he moves closer to the windows and starts to observe the area around the ship.

Dead bodies, dead body everywhere. Because he lives in this planet that doesn't have any natural resource, they don't even have a planetary defense system nor an army to protect the citizen so all the bodies Michael sees outside consist mostly of the citizen of the planet.

"Hey whitey, how much longer before we leave?" Michael said while playing with the silver-haired girl. "15 more minutes and don't call me whitey" She said while smacking his hand out of her hair "But why? You have a white hair so it's normal for me to call you whitey" Said Michael while teasing her. " Because it's sound like a dog name and by the way its silver not white, I spent 500 Credits to dye it so the least you can do is appreciate it"

"So what should I call you? I never got your name, I know that the merchant family name is Zuhair but you are his step-daughter so are you take his name as your own or you keep your old name?"

"Just called me Michele," Michele said while looking at Michael's eyes with a deadpan expression.

"Wha- What, it's too much of a coincidence," Michael said with a surprised look on his face, can not believe that his name is almost the same as the girl he just met. But when he looks again at Michele he sees her holding her laugh and then he realized, he still has his nameplate on his chest. After Michael takes his nameplate off whitey starts to laugh out loud make Michael more ashamed.

After about five minutes are so, whitey laugh stop and she gets back to work while leaving Michael sulking beside the window still staring at the chaos outside their ship. Oh, and by the way, the war is still going outside it just they start to move further from their original position leaving carnage in their trail. Michael finally stop sulking when he hears the engine of the ship is starting

"Hey you did it, whitey"

Hearing the name he hates being called once again she want to kick this man out of his ship but remembering what she just did 10 minutes ago she let it pass this time. " Yes I did it, now sit down, buckle up and enjoy the show"

5 minute after she said that *pew* *pew* *pew* the sound of laser firing can be heard from the back of their ship but before whitey can see what's behind *shake* their ship was hit.

"Hey Michael goes to the main corridor turn left in the first intersection and man the battle station, we need to shake those ship if we want to get out of here."

"Roger that"

What follows is the most intense dogfight whitey ever experience. With three ships chasing her tail he must evade their attack while leaving enough stable time for Michael to shoot. The ships right wing are in unstable condition due to the first attack but luckily whitey is somewhat a good pilot so she can control the ship just fine, but what makes them escaped is not whitey piloting skill. What makes the escaped is the marksmanship of Michael like he was born to shoot whitey are wondering what is such individual doing inside her ship in the first place.
