Aliens

by Trepidation

The Shinobi World is now the shinobi universe. Each large planet uses its shinobi to protect the citizens on the smaller planets around it. Konoha protects Earth. But, Earth just made the worst possible decision. Earth blew up a planet it deemed dangerous, killing all inhabitants, except one. The survivor renamed himself Pain, and he will do whatever it takes to get his revenge.

I swiped the keycard. Beep. The heavy metal doors slid open to reveal an empty workplace. I glanced at the clock and sighed. It was 8 o'clock, and I was right on time. So, everyone else either arrives late, or I am going to be all alone again. I slipped into the room, and was immediately met with chilly air. I shivered, but I refused to let this little setback ruin my good mood. Today was the day I had been waiting all of my life for. I was the first woman in this new field. A few years ago, scientists discovered solid proof that there were aliens. Everyone was glued to their tv as new information was discovered. The sheer idea of it fascinated millions, and each new discovery just captivated them more. I was one of those enthralled millions, but I was also one of the few who made it in the new field. With all the excitement, thousands of people struggled to earn a place in the new field. Every opening turned into a free-for-all.

So, as sad as it was that I would be working alone, I refused to let this ruin my mood. I hummed as I placed my papers and briefcase on the table. While glancing around the room, I noticed a small window on one of the walls. I scurried over to it and stared into the deep recesses of space. The black seemed to have a faint violet glow, and the murky realm was illuminated with innumerable stars. I allowed my mind to dwell on the indescribable beauty of space, before turning back to my desk. That view was enough to make any hardship well worth it. I pulled my headphones over my ears and slid into my seat. I sung along as I dove into my work.
