Description
Fallen Hives and Starry Skies

The room shook from side to side as the Hive plummeted to the planet below. With his rationality replaced by the instinct to survive, Todd left what remained of the control room and ran to the hibernation chamber. His fellow wraith screamed in agony as the Hive was torn asunder. In his state of mind he barely registered their presence. Great walls of orange, red and yellow blocked the majority of his exists, but still he proceeded to his target; his strength never waning. He felt the scorching heat of the fires as they pierced his flesh and the acrid smoke choked him from the inside; squeezing his lungs and leaving him gasping for air.

He could see the door to the hibernation chamber, but his body didn’t have the energy to make it. He slowly sank to the floor, clutching his neck as if it would somehow help him breathe.

“So... this is the end?” He managed to croak, staring at the ash-coloured ceiling in a dazed state.

“Commander!” For the briefest moment, Todd thought he heard his Second’s voice. His eyes drifted left and eventually landed on a growing shadow. In a matter of seconds the shadow grabbed his shoulders and carried him to the hibernation chamber.

Todd coughed several times but managed to make it to one of the nearest terminals. He typed commands into the terminal and then stepped into one of the unused pods. As an organic door formed in front of him; he spotted Kenny who was still at the terminal.

‘Second, what are you doing?’ Todd demanded, unsure of what Kenny’s plan was.

Kenny didn’t look up. Before the pod was completely closed Kenny’s voice ran through his mind. Before Todd's vision blacked out as unconsciousness took over, he just made out three words. 'Saving your life'

...

Todd wasn’t sure how long he had been in stasis. All he remembered was the fires. As he formed consciousness, he saw what was left of his Hive ship. Smoke rose from it’s ash remains and circled the night sky.

He hoisted himself out of the pod, but hit the ground shortly after. He clutched his side; crimson fluid painted his hand. He hesitantly propped himself up against a nearby rock. Part of a metal spike was plunged into his side. He tried to pull it out but the pain was too much. He let out a heavy sigh and leant his head against the rock.

He closed his eyes, trying to conserve his strength. However, a cold, metallic object was suddenly placed underneath his chin. A strong hand held his head back and Todd let out a strangled growl.

He knew who it was; he knew who destroyed his Hive, causing it to crash and burn and he knew what came next.

A smirk tugged at his lips and he allowed himself to relax.

So... this was it. After ten thousand years, this was how it would end-

“Oh, but it was worth it,” he mused, looking up, “if only to see the sky again.”
