heard before. It wiped out anything that was close to it, and the ship seemed to evaporate instead of falling apart like it should have. This was when he knew that something was wrong. White crystal light emerged from the wreckage and consumed them all, and no ship was spared from it.
    When Tayden grabbed her crystal, she had intended to make a blind jump on to the mothership. She wanted to escape her phantom, teleport onboard their ship, and kill every lizard that occupied its interior. But the explosion had caught the crystal mid-transit.
    No one would be able to explain what happened in that explosion or why the crystal particles did what they did. The Geralos, for the most part, disintegrated. With no training in the crystals they became like ship parts and were blown to bits. A few made it to the ground inside the city walls, bloody and dying but determined to take as many humans with them as possible.
    As to the Phasers, Rafian VCA vanished into thin air. For many months following the incident, the Phasers would speculate as to what really happened to him but he was gone and no one knew where.
    Tayden Lark's plan ultimately failed and sealed the fate of a number of her Phasers. The crystal didn't jump her onto the Geralos ship and she didn't die. Instead, she found herself wet and partially buried on the beach near Zallus, with the cold water licking at her face. Camille found herself on the dock of Helysian , which was the last place she would want to be.
    Yuth's entire ship was teleported a few feet above the ocean where he tread water and went below before reacting to the change in location. Klemise, who had flown behind Camille, was thrown from his ship and struck by fragments of a Geralos zip ship as he fell to his demise. The other two recruits were not close enough to the explosion to be affected but had seen the strange white light that threw their teachers and killed one of their friends.
    For anyone outside of a bunker, the debris, like raining metal chunks from hell, put a strain on the shield surrounding the city. It would have been enough to destroy Zallus if not for Dott Toga's quick command to power it on before the explosion. It would be a day the Phasers would never forget.

    By the time Tayden made it back to Zallus, there were Phasers running all around looking for the missing pilots. A rush of panic struck her as she neared the gates, and though the guard recognized her and let her in she stood frozen thinking about the battle and what had happened up there. “Please be alive,” she whispered to no one in particular, and then stepped inside where one of the men handed her a bike.
    “Thanks, Corporal,” she said in a flat voice, and then mounted it quickly to get back to the base. There were so many citizens standing around looking up at the sky that it made the mood even more forlorn for Tayden. Her mind was on Rafian, and she wondered if he was back at the base since her comm had been lost back inside the explosion.
    When she arrived at the agency she parked the bike and slid off of it smoothly to enter the command center. Inside were Dott and Marian, talking frantically, and she avoided their eye contact and ran to the comm to try and call her fellow Phasers. She reached Yuth and the recruits that had made it out alive, and when she learned of the random teleporting that her crystal had caused, her heart sank with fright.
    Eventually she was able to reach Camille, who told her that she would be back on the planet within a month. Her mood was lifting and she made to try Rafian again when—
    “Where’s Rafian?” Marian asked suddenly. She had been standing back and watching Tayden panic as she called up all the Phasers to learn of their whereabouts. When she had tried reaching Rafian it didn’t seem as if anyone answered. Marian had noticed this and the stars inside of her pupils had become bright, white fire. “Tayden, where is my husband?” she asked again, and the tiny woman turned
