Prologue: Introductions
Shortly after the year 2000,
people began to panic. Concern harbored about global warming, lack of
oil and water, the Apocalypse, and other concerns. Some were valid
and some were irrational, dreamed up by religious fanatics, who in
their determined pursuit of holiness believed them to be the truth.
There were two types of people in the world. The people who lived in
fear, trying to do their best to prepare themselves from any kind of
possible tragedy the Earth might face. The others were totally
oblivious, living their lives like nothing was ever going to go
wrong, like everything was normal. Nobody ever thought what they had
to fear wasn't even from the Earth itself, it was from beyond. People
never believed they'd actually use the phrase "the sky is
falling," in a serious situation, but they did.
The invaders
came from the sky, but unlike the movies, we were more ready then
expected. The first spaceship that cut into the atmosphere bore more
resemblance to a human rocket then the traditional made up flying
saucers. It was a pale yellow, comparable to the color of a new
smoker's teeth, after a few weeks with the habit. It penetrated the
clouds above the United States of America, and the first two fighter
jets to respond engaged it. Two old F-14 Tomcats intercepted the
unindentifed aircraft and let loose with a combination of AIM-54
Phoenix, AIM-7 Sparrow, and AIM-9 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missles.
The first few missles exploded a few feet away from the spacecraft as
it deployed some kind of plasma field. The next few hit it dead on,
and although damage was visible, the aircraft stayed in the air. That
was when it fired it's own missles back. The two Tomcats flew
swooping patterns, and the spacecraft let loose with two somewhat
large missles. They had heatseeking technology and so both pilots
activated their flares, causing the missles to follow the flare, and
then meander off, detonating down below.
The next set of missles
was deployed, and one pilot laughed as if though it were a joke.
There was about twelve missles in total, all extremely small, and the
pilot continued laughing until his aircraft was caught by the
missles, and his plane flared bright, then was a pile of ash. Their
was no grand explosion, just a bright flash of intensely burning
flames, and then in the plane's place was only ash. The second pilot
though was quicker and had seen where the missles came from, and let
loose with his gattling gun, tearing through the section of the
aircraft that had let loose the missles. He was quick and had let off
another four Sidewinders, two hitting already damaged parts. The
spacecraft exploded and the debris fell to the land below.
"Base One this is Tommy One.
Unidentifed spacecraft is down, over."
"Roger Tommy
One, return too... behind you Tommy One!" the base operator
replied and as the pilot went to turn his plane, a silver streak of
light barrelled into his plane, causing the sky to light up with yet
another explosion. The silver streak was actually a suicide plane,
one of many as they later found out. It was by this time the
President of the United States knew it was not another country
attacking, no human had come up with such superior technology. He
ordered all of his army into action, but by then he was already
fighting a losing battle, as the sky was filled with various
different spacecrafts. U.S. fighter jets were being blown to shreds,
as the planes made their descent. For all his intelligence, the
President could not figure out why there were so many different types
of planes.
"The sky is falling, as you can see right here
beside me, the remains of an American jetfighter. The President has
issued an emergency to which he says "There is no evacuation, we
fight or we die." Yet still many citizens are even now trying to
flee New York, for hopes that they will be able to get across the
Canadian border. This is Daryll Crow from CNN reporting live from New
York, until I get killed by one of these bastards." It was like
this on every television station across the globe. For once in the
history of humanity every single leader of every important country
now met, via the internet and all discussed their options. The
Russian Prime Minister suggested they might use nuclear weapons, but
to that the President of the United States said "I will not, no
matter the circumstances use nuclear weapons. For their may be, no
matter how slim a chance that some humans may escape, hide, survive.
If we let ourselves nuke the planet, then we obliterate our home, our
people, and our hope. Let us pray to whatever gods, to whatever
higher powers we believe in, that some of us make it out of this mess
alive." They agreed with him, and the President would have no
idea how prophetic his words would later become. He made the same
speech on live television, and the decided to broadcast the whole
meeting as well.
It was almost three quarters of an hour later
when two ships touched down in front of the White House, and the
President made no move to flee. If someone was going to stand up to
them, it would be him. He shook as he stood out front of the house,
knowing his death was ineminent. Two different creatures stepped out
of their respective ships. One a tall humanoid creature, with a head
resembling a purple octopus, and the other resembling a canine, but
one that stood on two legs. He realized what had happened, no one
alien race itself would take over Earth, but many who had all come
together under one alliance would. He thought sadly for a moment
about how badly they had been doomed by the start, as they could not
even get all the people of their own race to stand together until it
was too late. The humanoid stepped towards the president, some kind
of gun like weapon in his hand.
"Who are you, and what do
you want with our planet?" the President said, not letting his
voice falter once.
"It is no longer your planet, lucky for
you, you will not be around to see that," it said, and the
President quickly pulled a glock out of his pocket, emptying the clip
into the dog-like creature, catching it unawares. It fell to the
ground, dieing, and the President was then blasted by the remaining
aliens gun, his chest exploding from the inside, spraying gouts of
blood everywhere. The President had died satisfied knowing he had
taken out at least one alien with him, satisfied that he had seen it
suffer right before he had died. The humanoid who had been splattered
in blood took no notice of this, and walked forward into The White
House, it's eyes ever focused and never wavering.
It took just
over a month for the various alien groups to fight off the human
resistance and in this time no nuclear weapons were ever used. They
were all disarmed and thrown into the Atlantic Ocean, so that the
enemy would not obtain them. It took just under three months for the
invaders to destroy humans completely, or so they thought. They
seemed to have no understanding of the "underground", and
when humans found this out, the remaining thousands of them hoarded
what they could and sealed off most of the entrances. Almost all of
the human population had been slaughtered in a quarter of a year, and
now the only hope was that they would live forever underground, that
the aliens would leave the planet, or that they might one day retake
the planet. Either way they all worshipped the former President of
the United States, for he was the real hero in all of this. For
without him there would have had been no hope, had been no earth, and
humans would have ceased to exist. He was their god, and they
worshipped him, if only to keep some semblance of their former lives.
2015 was a year that many thought would never come, and when it did
none thought would bring with it a whole new definition for the word
destruction.
