Worldwar of the Worlds: Flipping the Balance

by fartingrocket2012

In 1942, they came. Lizard creatures only known as the Race. They ravaged the world, and forced people on opposite sides to fight together for survival. Humanity was at the brink of destruction. In 1953, something else came. From Mars, of all places!

~=~Year 1953~=~

Fleetlord Atvar looked out the window of his conquest fleet and sees Tosev III, with its combination of empires and not-empires such as the Nipponese and the British and the SSSR and Deutschland and the United States. He makes a Race equivalent of a sigh. Why can't they just surrender, he thought. He is then interrupted by his crewmate, "Exalted Fleetlord, Superior Sir, I have just seen what seems to be explosions coming from Tosev IV!" He then turns around and says, "What? Has your egg been addled at birth? Everyone knows that it's impossible for that planet to have sudden explosions! We checked 10 years ago!" "But Superior Sir, couldn't the Tosevites could have gone to Tosev IV?" "Then we would have seen them!"

~=~12 hours later~=~

"Exalted Fleetlord, there are reports of many cylindrical objects on our scans. It seems to be going towards Tosev III." Atvar quickly (for the Race) asks "Will they destroy or even damage anything important to us?" "No, superior sir," the reptilian replied.

~=~Outside Race-Controlled Cairo~=~

One of these objects fell on the deserts near Cairo, but nobody noticed it except as a curiosity. No Lizardian or human ever knew of the danger that lied ahead.

This was going on all over the world, but somehow nobody noticed. They just thought that as a small desperate measure from the other side, as both sides thought they were winning still. In each cylinder, which was placed in an area remote enough for nobody to notice, the top was unscrewed, and small brain-like things slithered out, and put themselves inside their tripods. They then started their rampage.

~=~The Next Day, Krakow, Poland~=~

Panicked people and lizards run around the streets as alien machines somehow disintegrate the populace, Race and Jew alike. There is a lizard shouting "By the Emperor-" before he disappeared under the blinding red beam of the mysterious black smoke vents out of the thing and immediately kills everyone in its surrounding area before the tripod goes and grabs the people, but interestingly, avoids the Race lizards for unknown reasons. Then this red plant-like material starts spewing out the machine of sorts. It works to a blinding degree, immediately bringing Humanity to not just its knees, but up to its chest in red weed. The Race suffers less casualties, but even in their strongholds in Cairo and Arabia their killercraft fail to down even one of these tripods. Even their explosive metal bombs have no effect due to the forcefield of the tripods. In human strongholds near New York and rebuilding Chicago, they are doing worse. Even in Germany, Japan, and England, they all fail to destroy or even damage the tripods.
