Broken Piece of Paradise by lyricwritesprose

Summary
The terms Barish-Estranza gives the lost colony are simple. Unconditional surrender, sign indenture paperwork for every adult and child, or they will eliminate all dissidents on record using a Combat SecUnit, and the killing will continue until they get their way.
The people of Esperia have no idea what that is. Barish-Estranza has technology that they have never seen. But they know they have to save the children. They pack the colony's children onto their one functioning ship, the Horizon, along with teachers and a barely adequate crew, and send them toward the wormhole that may lead back to the world that the Esperian colonists originally came from.
Barish-Estranza doesn't want to admit it, but they're unexpectedly missing their best threat.
And, onboard the Horizon, a child tells his teacher that there's a mysterious person in the machine closet…

Summary
The blond haired cook gazed through the thicket of tall trees as he hovered in the air silently above the dormant bodies. Sanji Vinsmoke eyed the desecrated battlefield with an unsettled gaze. He grimaced at the gruesome sight and a desperate thought ran through his mind in a cyclical loop.
I need to get off this island.
(Sanji Vinsmoke ends up in the Land of Fire and is very unimpressed with the state of affairs. He decides to open up a restaurant and feed everyone indiscriminately. Naturally, things never remain simple for the very notorious pirate)

Summary
I hate planets.
Preservation is better than most. It has a fairly mild climate with fewer storms and less large, client eating fauna than most of the planets I have been assigned to. Though, I wasn’t assigned to Preservation, really. My humans lived there, and I was visiting. Technically, I was sort of a refugee and welcome to live here if I wanted, I guess.
Anyway, previously-not-terrible Preservation Planet was rapidly moving down my list. Yes, I have one. And words I didn't intend might have been leaking into the feed.
