Starfleet Earth - chapter one - end of earth
CHAPTER ONE> THE END OF EARTH!

The cryo-sleep capsule hissed as its doors opened "ok, its all ready sir, you can get in now" the tech-chief said as I walked towards the capsule.
"Thank you chief. Is it set for the correct sleep period?" I asked
"Yes, it�s all ready. When you get in it�ll be a bit cold but that�s normal, try to relax though. Ill start the cold-sleep systems as soon as you�re inside" he replied.
I climbed into the capsule, at the same time as my partner, who was entering a capsule across the room, directly in my view. She smiled and closed her eyes as the system put her in cryo-sleep. We weren�t allowed to wear anything due to the risk of freezer burn when we awoke from sleep.
�Engage the cry-sleep systems chief� I ordered as I closed my eyes.

�Open that cryo-capsule!� I heard as I stirred from cryo-sleep �hurry� it was a female voice,
The doors opened and I clambered out, and fell to the ground, I was numb all over, but feeling soon came back. I felt someone cover me with a blanket, �come, we have to get out of here�
My vision was slightly blurry, but I managed to see the capsule my partner was in, she was still in cold sleep. I ran up to the capsule and pressed against it
�I won�t go without her� I shouted
�We have to go, NOW!� the woman�s voice resonated through my mind.
�I said, im not leaving without her, and that�s final� I yelled back
�Fine! Jake, Kurt, get her out of there, and step on it� she ordered
�Yes maam� the two said in tandem
The two ran over, and started the revival system.
It wasn�t long till they had her out of the capsule. I held her and covered her with a blanket. �Don�t worry, I got ya�
�K-kauru? Is that you?� she mumbled
�Yeah, it�s me, kauru�
I helped her up, and walked her to the woman
�Im done lets go� I said
��bout time, we�re off schedule �coz of you� she whined �ok, Jake, you�ve got point, lets move. Follow me� she said
I followed her, helping hina walk, as she still didn�t have all feeling in her legs. We left the cryo-labs facility and walked towards a parked APC that was waiting for us �ok everyone onboard� we did as she said and boarded the vehicle, so did the others. �Ok, now that everyone�s here, LETS MOVE OUT!� she ordered
�Lieutenant is the ikazu ready?� she asked the one in the passenger seat.
�Yeah, she�s all ready to launch as soon as were onboard�
�And what�s the time like?�
�We�ve got around 45 minuets till the core goes critical, we�ve got to get off this rock, before that�
�Thanks�� she turned and looked at us �there�s clothes in the box behind you, I suggest you put them on, I mean, you don�t want to walk around naked all day do you?�
I opened the box and pulled out two armored G suits �so, who exactly are you people?� I asked
�We�re the pacific fleets last, the crew of the ikazu, our ship. Im, matsumoto kiriko, and you are?�
�Im kaloki kauru, 2010�s general of the G.O.S.D, or Global Organization of Security and Defense, and this beautiful girl, is, or was, my second lieutenant, himiwari hinata�

Kirikos face looked surprised
�They said you were important, but not that important. That means you�re my commanding officer!�
�Oh? Really�

�We�re at the ikazu, and we�ve got around 10 minuets till the planetary core goes critical� the driver shouted as we drove up the boarding ramp
�LAUNCH THE IKAZU! NOW!� kiriko hollered into a communicator. The entire place shook, as the ikazu blasted its way towards the sky, it should have felt as though I weighed a tonne, but I guess the inertial dampeners stopped that feeling.
I felt the shaking stop; so I figured we had left the planet. Kiriko led me and hina, to the main bridge.
�Ok, people, report, what�s the situation on the planet?� she asked
�Welcome back captain, we�re out of the blast range, systems all green. Unfortunately, the planets just gone critical, see for your self� one of the deck crew replied. The main screen flickered, and showed the planet, its surface turned blood red and cracks of light burst from the surface, a few seconds passed, then BOOM! The planet exploded, fragments flew everywhere, and a shockwave wracked the ship.
The captain was saluting the planet, and a tear rolled down her cheek. �Earth, gone in an instant! How can this have happened?!� I cried
The captain looked to us, and motioned for us to follow. We followed her to what seemed to be a meeting room.
�Please take a seat� she said as she sat at the opposite end of the table. �It started around a month ago, earths temperature dropped, considerably, and then shot back up, in an instant. Scientists in New York, said that, because of this phenomenon, earth had become unstable, this was proved later with 3 super volcanoes erupting one at the south pole, one in the Himalayas and one in northern Europe. The population of earth, was told to evacuate, to space, this was possible, thanks to the ion fusion drive created by the G.O.S.D. this took till yesterday to complete, then we were ordered to retrieve someone important, from the western district Cryo-labs, you. We didn�t know about any others that were there. And that�s around about it. We have orders to rendezvous with the main fleet; at space colony 35 there you will be briefed on the more specifics.
