Giving her the traditional space �burial,� Victor said his last goodbyes and released her into the void. With a final glance out towards her casket, he wiped his mind clear and began to formulate a plan to get to a place with some gas.

Victor sat complacently in his chair, where he had been for the past few hours. His mind was traveling back towards the strange planet he had visited as a strong jolt of the ship threw him to the ground.

It was a rude awakening.

Victor quickly sprang up from the ground and rushed to the front of the ship. Ship sensors showed nothing out there, but his sensors said otherwise. The ship was now spiraling in a chaotic manner, and the metal was creaking as if it were under pressure. The creaking turned to a low-pitched tearing. The ship was being torn apart! Victor ran towards the back of the ship and quickly threw on a space suit. Like the rest of his stuff, it was completely black. �Looks like I�m going to have to get a Stingray III� Victor said as he opened up the ship hatched and floated out into space. Small boosters guided him around the back of the ship, to the top, where the disturbance was coming from.

Much to Victor�s surprise and horror, a monster sat on his ship, tearing it to shreds with large claws. It was more than 10 times Victor�s size, and it was now glaring down at him. With amazing agility, it floated through space directly towards him. How it was controlling its movements was a wonderment to Victor that he had no time to really think about. Victor just tried to move away. It pursued. With an undying fervor, no matter what Victor did, it pursued. It�s eyes flashed with blood lust. Victor pulled his gun from a holster on the side of the suit, and with a quick, fluid motion, he aimed for the beasts head. The shot propelled Victor into a flip backwards, but his aim was true. Yet�the beast maintained its pursuit, appearing to not have even felt the shot. Victor lost precious time trying to regain control of his movement, and the giant acted on it. Its fist slammed into Victor�s mid-section, knocking the wind out of him. �If I wanted a kiss, I would have called you mother�� Victor forced out. It ignored the comment and grabbed him with the other claw. It pressed Victor towards its clear mid-section�and Victor could feel his energy being drawn out of the suit. He was getting weak�

�You. You�re the reason.
You�re the one that�s stealing my freedom!�
