Alone?

Previous Chapter

As the ship hurtled itself farther from home I looked out the windows of the bridge, the stars and bits of dust passing by faster than I could blink, it was serene and beautiful. I saw something flash behind me, it was far bigger than everything else, it flashed in and out of view before I could really see it, I dismissed it as my stupid brain's paranoia but then I heard the proximity alarm to off, I looked to my side and saw a massive spacecraft staring me down, it was indigo and silver and it was easily the size of a container ship I stared in awe as the ship's cameras drank in the somewhat terrifying image, it was very smooth and bulbous in construction, I saw all of the readout screens onboard flash to a picture of a strangely equine-ish face, it was a deep bluish like it's ship, it had crazy looking eyes and stared with cold determination at the screen, much like a judge to a criminal, then it spoke.

"Attention unidentified vessel... You have trespassed in territory belonging to the Kioshin empire, this is your last warning, you have sixty of your seconds to reverse course, or you will be terminated."

"Wait...WHAT THE FUCK!...oh shit shit shit shit shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt," I yelled to myself as I initiated an emergency shutdown of the SSWD and heard an alarm sound as well as an audio warning,

" WARNING, EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN INITIATED, DAMAGE IMMINENT, PLEASE CONFIRM" I pressed confirm, "CONFIRMED, PLEASE PREPARE FOR TURBULENCE, SHUTDOWN IN 5..... 4.... 3... 2.. 1. ENGINE SHUTDOWN. I felt the ship groan and shudder violently in protest as I held on for dear life. I saw the armored shielding flip down across the Windows as the ship finally dropped to sublight speeds and The computer display flashed red as it showed what went wrong. Then I looked to The screen still displying the alien somehow, it had a timer that just reached zero. Then The alien spoke again, this time with far more intensity.

"You have failed to reverse course, firing comensing" the screen went black and I smacked the 'red alert' button as the ship's defenses activated, a magic shield engulfed the ship and it's very minimal weaponry deployed, before it could do anything a bright white beam slashed across the stern of my ship and more alarms started sounding off. I heard an explosion below me as the last of the shit hit the fan; the ship outside positioned itself above me.
"Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!" I yelled as the massive ship flew above me and opened a door on its underside, I felt my mind go numb. As if someone flipped a switch I fought to stay concious, my vision tunneled and I blacked out.
