Chapter 1
Year: 1973, May 16
Location: United Nation Spacy Lab 10, Lunar Clancy Base
Sound of heavy breathing. That's all you could heard other than the echoes. Echoing around your head were the sound of death. Shrieks and screams were getting more and more absurd. More like gutted pigs than human. Maybe I was scared?
A voice: Wake up! (Huh?!)
I found myself almost daydreaming. Not realising what I been doing for some time. The room was filled with tense and desperation. Everyone wants to live.
A major: Listen up! Order had been given. All personnel are to evacuate the base in three hours' time. All equipment must be destroyed prior to launch of the shuttles. Understood?
The major was greeted back with a chorus of "Argh!" He smiled back to them knowing they will never see him again.
The lady who was daydreaming a moment was now in the process of deleting all the files that she was collecting over the 19 months of research. "What a waste." She commented herself. All those days collecting and cataloguing the species now known to the whole world as Beings of Extra Terrestrial Adversary. Also known as simply, 'BETA'. She was excited with their first appearance in the 1950s. However that all changed with the slaughter of the Mars Base. True, even now the world had yet to know about the battle that taking place on lunar as the governments decided it was best to keep it a secret. Only till the landing on Earth, did everyone on Earth begin to fear of death greatly.
"Sarah!" She looked up to see the major standing at the doorway, holding on to a space suit. "Please put this on." "Not yet. I almost finish with the last batch." Sarah continue to type. "NOW SARAH!" Surprised with his reaction, Sarah quickly took the suit and begin to put it on. The major was already in his suit and looking around nervously. Sarah feels unease with his nervousness. Just as she don her helmet, a loud shriek spread to the hall. Both paused in their position. "Sarah… No matter what, keep running to the shuttle 624. Understand? No matter what happen." The major meant every word he just said. Sarah just stared blankly at him. The ground begins to tremble. The major took a deep breath before exploding in anger, "RUNNN!"
Gunshots. Shrieks. Crushing metal. Tearing of limbs. Sound of blood splashing onto the ground.
Such were the last moment Sarah witness as her friends were consumed by the advancing BETA hordes. Remembering the major's last order, she was heading to the last shuttle. As she reached the site, there was only one shuttle and no one around it. The pilot was engaging the engine and was willing to leave anyone caught behind by the BETA. Sarah began to panic. "No… Don't leave me" She ran as fast she could but the lunar gravity was different from Earth and it slows her down with every bounce. Sarah could almost reach the door. But she notices the pilot was waving wildly at her. Her heart skip a beat as a huge shadow formed in front of her. Panic and scared of death, Sarah could not believe that her time was up. She did not want to die yet. Crying, Sarah stopped in her track as the jaws of death was above her and closing in. "Mom, sorry…." The sound of blood gushing out consumed Sarah's hearing. Shocked and drenched with the BETA blood, Sarah turned around to see the man with an emblem of a grim reaper holding a blonde lady with two swords standing atop of the slain beast. There was a blade extending from his left arm. But the most confusing thing that Sarah could not understand was the flag on his left arm. It was red and white with a crescent moon and five stars. Sarah could make out the words he just spoke; "Goddamn Takeru!"
