It all started with me running from alien 7 feet tall holding something in between a machine gun / flamethrower. I quickly pressed a button on the end of my sleeve that contacted the starship I was from 
	“Jordan to Thunderbird. Jordan to Thunderbird come in Thunderbird.” 
	“Thunderbird here captain.” 
	“Beam me up”. 
	“Aye captain”. Light started to swirl around me. One of the aliens shot a blast of flame at me. the light started to swirl faster and faster I closed my eyes expecting to be incinerated. Just as the flame got to me I disappeared. I reappeared on the teleporter pad inside the Thunderbird with my sleeve on fire 
	“Ah!!!” I said has the crewmen put out the fire. 
	”Orders captain”. Said one of the crewmen. 
	“Yes go to warp 5, get us out of here”. 
	“Aye captain”. In the engines the massive turbines started to spin like crazy has the warp engines started to warm up. ”Going into warp in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”...Boom!!!!! The massive ship went into warp. I went up to the bridge. 
	”Take us out of this Galaxy”. I said 
	“yes captain”. The ship soared through space, when suddenly we were hit. 
	“Damn, what the hell!!!”. The ship rocked back and forth 
	“Engine 2 as been hit captain”. 
	“Damn, lock all lasers on enemy ship and fire on my mark. Fire!” The Thunder Bird shot at the enemy ship hitting it a ton of times. 
	”Die @#$%’s! Go into warp factor 7.” “But captain, warp 7 is only stable for a short amount of time. We can’t stay in warp factor 7 for that long”. 
	“How long can we stay in warp 7”? 
	“About 20 minutes captain”. 
	“Ok, take us into warp factor 7 Mr. Conner”. My first mate 
	“yes captain. going into warp factor 7 in: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BOOM!!! The ship blasted away from its attacker. 20 minutes and counting captain”. 
	“Good keep us going at  warp 7”. “Aye captain”. Then BOOM! 
	“What the hell!”. 
	“We’ve been hit hard on engine  2. Were dropping out of warp 7 captain”. 
	“Oh no. Stop the ship try to make contact with them”. 
	“Aye captain”. The screen changed to show one of the aliens that was chasing me before. Now that he was on the screen I was able to get a better look at his face. He had green scaly skin with a dog like snout and musclier, with eyes that were placed on his head like a fish. He had no hair on the 1/4 of his body that the screen showed me. 
	“Why do you want to kill us”? I said. 
	“You took what was rightfully ours”. Said the alien. 
	“I didn’t take anything of yours”. 
	“Yes you did!!” cried the alien. 
	“We will destroy you if you don't hand it over”!!! 
	“Hand over what”?!! I yelled very angry now. 
	“We can not tell you”. Said the alien. 
	”Damn. How can we give it to you if you cant tell us what it is”? The alien was very confused now trying to figure out how to tell us but also not tell us. Finally the alien said 
	“It is in your left pocket”. I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out a metal jar. 
	“Is this what you want so badly”? 
	“Yes yes”. Said the alien. 
	“I want to scan it first”. 
	“No!!! Don't!!!” Cried the alien. 
	“Yes I will. Go scan this”. I said. 
	“NOOOOOOO!!!” Screamed the alien. 
	“Stop stop stop!!” 
	“We have scanned it captain” 
	“Well”? 
	“Its pure deep matter”. 
	“Well well well” I said holding the jar. 
	“Don't drop it!!!” Cried the alien 
	“I wont” I said. 
	“Can I have it now”? 
	“No, hit it!!!” I cried and then we lost contact with the other ship and zoomed into warp 4, the highest warp we could go into with our broken engine. 
	“There after us captain” 
	“Keep going don't stop”. 
	”Were being shot at captain” 
	“Keep going” 
	“Were about to reach planet Corton captain”. 
	“Is there a base there”? 
	“No but it is basically a little Earth”. 
	“Good go in closer” 
	“Yes captain”. The Thunder Bird went closer and closer to Corton. 
	“Were about to enter the atmosphere Captain”. 
	“Put the heat shield up”. 
	“Heat shield up captain”. 
	“Hang on boys its going to be a bumpy ride”. I said, the ship started to shake a lot. 
	“Extend the wings”. 
	“Yes captain”. Two large wings started to extend from ether side of the ship. The wings are so the ship can fly in an atmosphere. 
	“Were in the atmosphere captain”. 
	“Good. Keep going well try to lose them in the planet’s mountains. Prepare to hover behind the tallest mountain.
	“Yes captain”. The ship started to move towards the mountains when suddenly 	“Captain were picking up a Photon Missile”
	“Get us away from it! ” I screamed but it was to late. The Photon screamed through the air, its target right in front of it. Then, it made impact. BOOOOOOM!!!!!!! One of our engines were completely destroyed. 
	“Get us back into space now!!!” I yelled as every alarm in the ship went off. I could feel the adrenalin pumping in my blood. The weird part was that all sounds were muffled and all I could hear clearly was my own heart beating Than one of the crew members ran up to me and started to talk to me thats when all other sounds became unmuffled. 
	“To space we have to land captain”
	“What, oh yes land the ship on the best flat land around here possible and if there is none than travel a bit farther and find some”. 
	“yes captain”. The ship started to make its decent to the flat land we eventually found. The smoking ship slowly shut down.
           "Damage report Mr. Conner". 
        
   "Yes captain. Engine two is down sir um deck 18 is destroyed and we have had an extreme fuel loss.
           "Ok ,can you fix it?
            "Maybe but probably not." 
            "Then get to work, start with the engine because we need that the most. Then try to get us some fuel, we can't fly without fuel now can we? Then once were in space we will fix deck 18 got it?" 
            "Yes captain". Men were running around trying to fix the starship that was still smoking a ton, then one man came running up to me as I walked out and into the bright sunny day.
             "What is it Mr. Firedome"
             "I just got the report that there is oil underground, we can use some of the ships converters to turn it into the fuel we need to get the ship running.
            "What type of fuel do we need to get the ship running?
            "stabilizing fuel captain". I stared at him in horror my eyes wide with terror.
            "start drilling right now"!!! I yelled even though no one else could hear me except  him. He ran off to take out his orders. I sat on the ground and thought. You see stabilizing fuel is needed to run the stabilizer. The stabilizer is used to keep the matter/antimatter reactor stable. If there is no fuel for stabilizer, the stabilizer won’t work and without the stabilizer the reactor won't be stable and the reactor will blow up consuming everything within a 40 mile radius. I watched as a big door on the side of the ship opened up and a drill came out, started to spin, then came down and pierced the ground and slowly went down. I looked up in the sky and looked for the ship that was chasing us before, it was not there. I soon fell asleep with my head up against a rock in the bright sunny day.
          I woke up about 2 to 3 hours later, the sun was starting to make its descent towards the west and the oil drilling was almost over. I walked back towards the ship feeling a bit tired I went in the ship and walked into my bedroom and sat on my bed and stared at a picture at the wall. I again thought about stuff like what was that pure deep matter for and of what use did it have to anybody? when we're we going to get that fuel for the stableizier? How were we going to get off this planet and when? I decided to answer the most important question first:what was that pure deep matter for and of what use did it have to anybody. I typed it up on the computer in my room and pressed enter. Here's what I got:
	 Pure deep matter is deep matter but in its extremely rare pure form. Pure deep matter is more powerful than regular deep matter. Deep matter was found by a group of scientists when they smashed two particles together, the particles were Matter and Corizone. When the two particles smashed together they created blips of deep matter. The scientists saw this and decided to make a chamber that could hold Deep Matter. When they did they saw that the deep matter was giving off immense amounts  of energy so they tried to make it into a fuel source the results were that the deep matter became unstable and then blew up. killing them all.
         After that experiment failed the government just decide to leave deep matter alone along with its explosive behavior. Right now it is still created naturally in the universe appearing and then disappearing only been seen once by human eyes and maybe never again.
        Thats all I read when someone came and told me that dinner was ready, so I got up  and left the room wondering... would we ever get off this planet?
