The sound of the engine failing rang through her ears, Ness Nova was losing consciousness. She slipped in and out of reality. [i]This is it.[/i] She thought, [i]This is the end.[/i] Her faithful ship, the Shade Skipper, had been hit by a pretty powerful shot by the Universal Guard, and only now had the electronics gone out. The windshield had a large crack, making the view of the approaching unknown planet shattered and distorted. Ness was losing grip on reality, her mind drifting off to memories. [i]"Don't give up."[/i] A males voice whispered in her head, [i]"Don't give up just because I'm... dying."[/i] She jolted awake, moving to slam her hand on the eject button on the Shade Skipper, the chair unclicked and shot from the ship. As it fell a parachute opened and allowed the chair to float to the ground. Ness had a look of shock and sadness as she watched her ship slam into the ground below. "Rest in Piece old girl." She said before she unclipped from her seat. She fell a short way to the ground, landing easily as she breathed in. "Fuck me..." She said quietly, "That ended... Not in the way I wanted to." She moved to take off her flight helmet, pulling it away from her Deep Lilac skin; She yelped as her Deep red hair got tangled into her helmet. "Ow, ow, fuck." She pulled the helmet off and tucked it under her arm quietly. Her Lilac skin shone in the sun of this planet, she looked around quietly as her backwards curved horns glistened. She looked around where she crashed, there didn't seem to be a city around her, so no one was going to be hurt. But there was a small town to the East, she'd start there.
