This is my first attempt at writing fanfiction. I hope you enjoy it.

Prologue

Smoke filled the air as homes burned, corpses were everywhere their stench entwining itself with the scorched buildings. The smell was pungent but the captives in the center of the city had long become accustom to it. They were a ragged bunch of mostly women and children, wearing cloths that had once been immaculate but were now worn and torn from the attack on the village.

The lone man in the group was older with purple hair that was so covered in soot that his hair looked grey. A young blue haired girl huddled by his side ear stains marred her face. Both starred at the purple alien who laughed at the sight of what remained of the village.

"Well Dr. Briefs, looks like you are now without a home and without a lab, I guess I can be generous enough to allow you to live and work on my ship." The alien laughed with glee as he said it. "Of course I'll also allow your daughter and these other survivors to live with us as well provided they can complete the tasks required of them."

The alien's comment was met with what could have been cheers from a less sinister people but were more like growls from the subordinates of the alien. With a snap of his fingers, the villagers were rounded up and transported to the giant ship that had landed on one of the houses when the invasion began.
