Time: 3984, Location: Interstellar Zone. When Varon heard someone calling his name, he jumped in shock. He knew no one knew him here. That unfamiliar voice wanted to help him, help, which was actually a space invasion.
‘I am Omega,’ Varon pushed his way through the thick, wet grass of the swamp. Behind him, he heard the sound of loud voices. He tried to go faster, but the thick grass held him back. He had to push his way through it step by step. Varon had come about three kilometers from the Zeron strongroom and was very tired. The first part of Varon’s plan had been successful. He had gotten into the strongroom deep underground—he had found the crystal—and he had gotten out again. He had succeeded in stealing one of the most valuable crystals in the Universe. And no one had seen him. But the second part of his plan had gone completely wrong. The guards on the planet Zeron had found his spaceship. Varon had been told that only the strongroom on Zeron was guarded. But now he knew that was wrong. There were guards all over the planet. The guards had been waiting for him when he got back to the spaceship. And now they were chasing him, and there was no way he could escape.
