[color=0054a6]"Can we help you miss?" [/color]

The words were spoken, but Xael barely heard them because she felt a strange and ominous feeling come over her. The music in the bar was still playing and the bass was low and rhythmic. She turned around, the teal haired woman doing so likewise to look at something. Then everything happened in slow motion, but also quicker than it seemed was possible. She heard the sound of a gun go off, and turned to see the woman lunge toward the guy she had been trying to make a deal with. 

The elf looking guy got up to go chase down the gunman, pushing Xael out of the way as he shifted passed her. The connection threw her back, stumbling into the wall behind her. Her head smacked against the cement pillar and blood began to drop down the back of her head and down her neck. It was hidden by her long black hair, but either way she could smell and feel it. She groaned, standing up straight again when her vidcom went off, sounding an alarm. It was similar, but not exactly alike the one used for testing the emergency plans. At that moment, everyone else who owned a vidcom seemed to go silent and glance down at theirs as well. 

The music that had been playing shifted into a panic inducing voice, which was automated. 

[color=f7941d]"Code White! Vacate immediately! Code White! Vacate immediately! Code White! Vacate immediately!"[/color]

Xael's stomach dropped. Code white meant that the entire planet was in danger, and everyone needed to evacuate in whatever way possible to the nearest habitable planet for safety. She glanced at the woman and man again, her blue eyes widening when the woman spoke. 

[color=00a99d]"You need a ride out of here darling?"[/color]

[color=7ea7d8]"I have a ride. If that ship of yours you were talking about isn't close by, we can leave on mine. I need a decision quick though, otherwise we'll all be dead."[/color] She waited only for a moment for a response, and then began heading out toward the door, wanting to silence her vidcom. Nothing would override the emergency call though. So instead, she focused on getting whoever wanted to follow her, to her [url=https://c4.wallpaperflare.com/wallpaper/311/301/278/photo-manipulation-spaceship-horse-stellaris-wallpaper-preview.jpg]ship[/url].

She turned on her heels and darted with impeccable speed toward the door, shoving passed drunk patrons who were in full panic mode. This wasn't Xael's first experience with a Code White however, so she was as calm as she could be. She didn't bother looking back as it would just waste time. Crashing through the bar doors, the cold air stung her cheeks, which were flushed pink from the warmth inside the bar. 

[color=7ea7d8]"My ship is only a few blocks from here, on the South East landing pad. Come on!"[/color] She called behind her, hoping the others were following and keeping pace. She was quick despite her lack of height. Coming up to one of the street corners, a loud explosion sounded nearby accompanied by a blinding flash of red and white light. She could hear people screaming and another explosion followed only seconds later. 

With her feet continuously hitting the pavement, she glanced back to see what exactly was going on. No one would probably notice that she was barefoot. The other three were following in suit, and what looked to be meteors were falling everywhere from the sky, destroying everything in their path. Xael pressed a slender finger to the screen of her vidcom, trying to tune it to a radio station to find out what exactly was happening. Sometimes other planets or people would attack out of whatever reason. This seemed strange and random, with no warning like would be expected. As they approached the landing pad, another explosion occurred a little too close for comfort. It sent out shock waves similar to an Earthquake and tossed Xael forward onto the road in front of her. 

Shrapnel went flying from nearby buildings and luckily, she was able to narrowly avoid most of it with minor lesions. [i][color=7ea7d8]"Why does this keep happening?"[/color][/i] she whispered to herself, standing back up and beginning her sprint again.
