Misson: Pilot

System: Miner, wake up. Your mining shift is here.

Felix: Aggghhh!!! Let's get thus over with.

Felix: I am Felix. A Scarian forced to mine in the mines on my home planet Scar. Around 400 years ago earthlings from s distant planet invaded us and forced us to mine our planet away for materials. (Narrating)

He eats a blue pill, washes his face and brushes his teeth right before exiting his house.

Felix: How'd they get this power still remains unknown, but one thing is for sure. They ain't nobody good. (Narrating)

He starts walking with the other miners to a giant headquarters on the pole of their planet.

Felix: Jeez. Another day.

He notices 3 big men surrounding a boy around his age.

Felix: Seriously?

He walks up to them and puts his hand on one of the men's shoulder.

Felix: Listen up. I don't recommend you hurt him.

Man 1: What do you want punk?

Man 2: Maybe he also wants a beating.

He starts cracking his knuckles before trying to approach Felix.

He is about to touch him when Felix's fist hits his stomach.

Man 3: Hey-

Man 2: Why you little-

Suddenly an entire trash can hits him on the head.

Man 3: You'll pay.

The two remaining men charge at him, but he hits them both on the jaw and neck, respectively causing them to back off.

Felix: Anything else?

Man 1: This isn't over. We will be back.

The three of them start running away.

Felix: Yeah Yeah.

He helps The boy get back up.

Felix: If they, or anyone ever bothers you, let me know.

The boy nods.

Felix: I thought it was gonna be a regular interaction but- (Narrating)

In the mines.

The boy approaches Felix who was mining.

Zeitos: Hey, thanks for saving me back there.

Felix stops and looks at him.

Zeitos: I'm Zeitos.

Felix: Zeitos? Like Zeit? The german term for time?

Zeitos: What? I-Uh-I guess I never thought of that.

Felix: Yeah.

Zeitos: So, who're you?

Felix: Felix.

Zeitos: Cool. Could we be friends?

Felix: Friends?

He laughs.

Zeitos: What's up?

Felix: Don't think you know this pal. In this world... you can trust no one.

Zeitos: Well guess I'll be making that mistake by trusting you.

He smiles.

Felix: So began... our unusual friendship. He'd approach me every day and strike a conversation. Well, every day until-

Zeitos: Hey, Felix!

Felix: Yeah?

Zeitos: Did you hear about the rocket launch?

Felix: Pretty sure it's already landed.

Zeitos: Yeah! Something like this only happens once every 100 years.

Felix: I know.

Zeitos: So say, wanna escape?

Felix: Es-Escape?

He chuckles.

Zeitos: I'm serious.

Felix: Sure. Sure.

Zeitos: This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Felix: The federation has got their reach in every corner of this universe. Escape where?

Zeitos: Escape... to a kinder world... together.

He raises his hand towards Felix who looks away before shaking it.

Zeitos: Sweet.

Few hours later.

Rei: Escape?

Felix: This is Rei. She is a recently new guard here and one of my closest friends. (narrating)

She laughs.

Rei: Are you sure?

Felix: I'm not. But he is.

He points towards Zeitos.

Rei: So you've been hanging out with him instead of me?

Felix: Yeah!

Rei: Well, well then. You had to come back to me after all.

Felix: It's really not that big of a deal.

She shrugs right before pushing a card to the opposite side of the table, towards Felix and Zeitos.

Zeitos: What's this?

Rei: My guard pass. It'll allow you to access places otherwise impossible.

Felix: Won't you get in trouble if they find out?

She chuckles.

Rei: I will.

Felix: Then are you sure?

Rei: Just take this as a token of our friendship.

Felix: Don't worry. I'll be back.

Rei: If you survive.

Felix: Don't worry. I'm not gonna let you die in peace.

Few days later.

Felix: Today is the day. The day we launch off this stinkin' rock to Zeitos's so called "kinder world."(Narrating)

Felix and Zeitos are hiding behind a few crates in a storage room.

Felix looks at the guard towers using a spyglass.

Felix: The coast is clear. Let's pass.

The both of them run to the other side of the open storage room and enter the ventilation system.

Felix: Wait.

He opens a map and looks at the ventilation blueprints.

Felix: Using the maps Rei gave us, we made our way through the endless hallways and claustrophobic shortcuts. (Narrating)

Felix: This place should be it.

The punch through a vent and jump in, landing in a cafeteria filled with guards.

Felix: Oh it's over.

All the guards charge at them, but Felix hits the back of a bench, causing it to fly up ad stand straight.

He suddenly kicks it, causing a few guards to get knocked out cold. They walk through the open route into a hallway.

System: Intruders have been spotted in the cafeteria. Excute them at sight.

All the guards in the building start running through the hallways.

Felix: A left turn.

Zeitos: Got it.

They continue running and make it to the rocket room.

Felix: Hers it is.

He swipes the card and a door opens.

Felix: Got it.

Zeitos: Hey pal, we might have a little situation.

Felix turns around and notices dozens of guards holding guns.

They all start shooting, but Felix and Zeitos lucky make it into the rocket.

Felix: Let's see. Fuel is enough, jets managed and everything else is also perfect.

Zeitos: The system's going to switch the rocket any minute.

He bangs a big red button in the middle right before pulling a lever.

Felix: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. LAUNCH!

Zeitos: Here we go.

The rocket starta launching and using the orbital slingshot, the rocket launches into space.

Zeitos: Wait, do you know how to pilot a rocket.

Felix: Ughhhhhh-

Zeitos: Then where are we going?

Both Felix and Zeitos: Aghhhhhhhhhhh!

Meanwhile.

A man enters inside a room where another man is sitting.

Man: Sir. They have ecsaped.

Federation leader: Excellent. As calculated.
