The Forgotten Army
Prelude
The streets on the distant planet were completely bare- full of futuristic technology, but still looked like an dark alleyway on present day Earth. The sky was a distinctly bright red, with two suns glowing in the distance, one further than the other. Amongst the remains of of newspapers blowing in the silver winds, a body dashed past. The body of a young human man, wearing ripped and shredded clothing. Homeless, by the looks of it. Why am I running? he thought to himself, constantly looking back. All he could remember from the last few minutes was the urge to run. And so he did. He was expecting to see how far away something chasing him was from him, but finding nothing. At last, he found a dark alleyway which he hid in. His hair stood on the back of his head when the creatures bearing black and white suits strolled through slowly. How could I forget those? He took a cautious step back, expecting to be undetected. Suddenly a three-fingered, pale hand grabbed his head, pulling him into the dark before rendering him unconscious.
The hours past. The man woke up lying on what seemed to be an operating table, but with black walls and dim red lights. He couldn't remember what had happened, or how he got to where he was.
And then he saw it and remembered who captured him.
The bulbous head was pale, with no visible nose or mouth. Two small eyes stared at him, without blinking. The creature's characteristics reminded him of a picture he'd seen as a child. It wore a suit- an old suit, from millennia ago, dust being picked up by it. Without moving, the loud rasping started to form words. "Youuu will soon become one of us." He lifted his hand, revealing a large needle.
The man began to breath heavily, panicking. "What do you mean? Why can't I remember you? What are you?!" Without answering, the creature slowly lowered his hand with the needle towards the man's chest. The following noise echoed across the entire room into the unknown: ARRRGHHHHHhhhhhh...
"Sooooon, you will never forget who we arrrreee."
