The Story Begins
Since this is not a first person story, please choose a character to follow:
Jake Warrens: the leader of a small refugee group that has converted an office building into a hide-out.
Laura Hawkins: a forest-ranger who's avoided detection by avoiding major cities since the invasion. She's mostly a loner.
Rysthin Dor'Vool: A seasoned radinri scout and hunter, recently assigned to earth.
Ry William: A 10-year-old mature kid who trained himself to fight. An excellent fighter, and not too shabby with guns and bows. A kind spirit. Doesn't kill. Is a peace-maker, but likes to punch first and ask questions later. Believes peace can be made between humans and Radinri. Is very good with animals.

The Story Begins...
Ry William was eating an apple in a tree, looking around the area around him. He wasn't too worried that some Radinri might come, searching for him. He only needed to find people to help him with his mission to make peace. He looked over to find a young fox, walking near the area and looking around the place, like if he was lost. Ry looked closer at the ox to see that he had a device on one of his wrists. A person that must've been transformed into an animal. He wanna come to him and see if he's any help, but Ry also notice some Radinri coming to the fox's direction. They must've been hunting him down. Ry sees 3 solutions to this problem. He could run away, leaving the fox to die. Try to make a swift manoeuvre to take the fox away and get away from the Radinri, or come face to face with the Radinri to defend the fox.

Battle
Ry jumped from the tree, landing in the direction of the oncoming Radinri. The fox was scared to see Ry landing right near him.
"Don't worry! You'll be safe from those Radinri!" Ry said to the fox. Soon enough, the Radinri came. 2 of them.
"Out of the way, human! Let us continue our hunt, then MAYBE we won't kill you!" One of the Radinri threatened.
"No! I shall not let you kill this poor fox!" Ry exclaimed. "You're gonna have to get through me to get to the fox!" Ry was in a fighting stance.
"Very well then. Prepare to die." The other Radinri said, aiming a laser rifle set to kill at Ry and fired. Ry dodged, jumped and made his first attack, an aerial roundhouse Chuck Norris-style kick to the Radinri's head. The Radinri held his head.
"Hey dude, you okay?" The other Radinri said.
The head-hitted Radinri said "Let's take him down!" The 2 Radinri started firing rapidly at Ry. Ry ran and climbed up a tree. There was 2 choices here. Jump and attempt to break one of the Radinri's back via a very hard kick, or try to get on one of the Radinri's back, ride him like a horse, and use him to take down the other Radinri.

Time To Ride The Pony!!!!
Ry jumped off of the tree and landed on one of the Radinri's backs and started riding him like a horse.
"Hey get off me, you little--" The ridden Radinri was trying to get Ry off of his back. The other Radinri gasped.
"It's the Radinri Rider! He's been responsible for the humiliation and beating of many Radinri! He has a big bounty! Looks like I'm getting my catch! Hey! Hold still so I can take him in!" The other Radinri said, aiming his rifle at Ry, whilst setting it at stun.
Ry saw the other Radinri aim at him. Then Ry tried to make the Radinri the target of the aiming Radinri.

Finally Captured
The unridden Radinri had no trouble firing at Ry. Ry was blasted off the Radinri he was riding and hit the ground, paralyzed. He weakly turned his head and saw that the fox had ran away.
"Well...at least he's safe..." Ry weakly said as he was lifted up by the Radinri that shot him.
"I wonder what the guys will do to you when we bring you in. Heh, you'll be lucky if they decide to make you like us. But I highly doubt it." He chuckled.
"Him? A Radinri? Ha! Impossible! I'm sure they're gonna kill you, then they'll revive you and kill you again, and again, and again!" The other Radinri yelled.
"Oh you're just mad because I humiliated you, like those other Radinri."
"Oh just go to--"
"Ah ah ah, language!"
"Heh, you interest me. You look at Death right in the face and laughed at it. Maybe if Lady Luck is happy with you and you become a Radinri, you could be my 2nd partner along with D'Joyer here." The Radinri holding Ry said.
"I'D RATHER DIE!!!" Both Ry and D'Joyer yelled.
"We shall see what happens to you soon." D'Joyer's partner said as he pointed to a space ship landing. It brought down a ramp for the trio to walk into the ship with. The 2 Radinri brought up Ry into the ship. There, Ry was brought into a jail cell. "Now you just stay right in here, and pray that your fate won't get you killed." Te 2 Radinris left, leaving Ry into the cell. He looked around and saw that there was a loose barred window. He figured that he could escape by taking apart the window and jumping out, but that could mean certain death. But on the other hand, he could try his luck, and wait patiently for the Radinri to come back. But that could also mean a death penalty. What will Ry do?

A Choice Is Made, But Not By Ry
"Ry William?" one of the Radinri said. Ry spun around to see the Radinri he hadn't ridden standing on the opposite side of the cells' bars.
"What do you want?" Ry said bitterly.
"I've come to make you an offer," the hunter continued. "You're an impressive fighter." Ry couldn't help but smile. "Your reflexes are amazing. Most humans can't dodge our weapons. And riding a Radinri is a neat trick, although it didn't quite work out for you." This time it was the Radinri who smiled. "My name is Rysthin Charrak, by the way."
"What's your offer?" said Ry.
"I just got a message from the planet's governor. She says there's some island where they're rounding up human prisoners."
"What for?"
"She wouldn't say. I think it might be that they've decided to let some humans keep living as humans instead of killing or converting them. Of course it's just as likely that they'll kill you there. Personally, I wouldn't go. I'm willing to make you my servant. You'd have to become a Radinri, of course."
"What?!" Ry shouted, indignant. "You think I'd want to work for a Radinri? You think I'd want to be a Radinri?"
Ry was shaking with rage, but Charrak stood coolly impassive. "You'd be paid, of course. I'd let you accompany me on my hunts if you wanted. Plus, when we get back to my home planet...well, maybe...just maybe...you'd be able to become a Rysthin. A Convert has never become a Rysthin before, but perhaps you'd be the first."
Charrak waited a moment for his offer to sink in. Ry said nothing.
"Which will it be, Ry...the islands, or Conversion?"
"What if I don't choose?" said Ry, looking Charrak in the eyes defiantly. "What if I just stand here forever?"
"You humans have a thing called art," Charrak said, leaning in closely, his red eyes gleaming with a terrible malice. "For Radinri, we have pain. Do you understand that, Ry? Radinri art is the art of pain. And there is a hunter in the cockpit right now whom you offended greatly today. Do you understand what I'm saying, Ry?"
"No," Ry lied.
"I am saying if you don't choose one or the other, I will stun you again. And when you come around you will find yourself restrained, so you can't pull another stupid stunt again. And D'Joyer will eat you. Slowly. Very slowly. He will nibble you to death, bit by bit, starting with your...least necessary parts." He was smiling now, not the kind smile from earlier but a truly evil grin. "And while D'Joyer is eating you alive, I will use all the medical prowess at my disposal--which is a considerable amount--to keep you alive, and fully conscious, while D'Joyer eats you. And your glorious screams will be like a concerto to us. Perhaps we'll even record all the wonderful sights and sounds and sell it, so every Radinri in the universe can laugh at the horrible anguish of the child who dared to challenge us. I believe I am making myself clear, Ry, and am giving you a very generous option. Go to the island, or become one of us. The choice is yours, but do be quick. D'Joyer is hungry."
