2742 a.d. That was 12 years ago.That is when the story I am about to tell you happened.

 

            10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... takeoff! As the rocket took off, to go to the newly discoverd planet, it suddently vanished when it went faster than the speed of light. They thought the new planet could contain life. They named the planet Arc. Twelve humans were going, 6 males & 6 females. When they got there, it looked like Mars but was able to sustain life. That was a good thing too, because of what happened next.

 

            We heard a boom, the lasers shieking and the bleep bloop of the gigantic robots language. We knew this would happen, so we built the Arc spaceship, named after the planet we discoverd. As buildings exploded, people of all ages rushed to the underground shelters so they could live to see a few more hours. Minutes passed and everyone could hear the destruction of the world they knew. They could hear the the crash as buildings fell. They could hear the honking of horns when the robots hit the cars. They could hear the screams of the people who didn't make it to the shelters. But we didn't. We where the lucky 12 who went on the Arc. I was 16.

 

            Our mission was to start over. Start a new civilization on the new planet. My name is Jake. I vow that one day, I will make those robots pay for what they did. They will pay.
