Chapter 2

Over the next month the Hawaiian islands faced a terrible threat. Hundreds of alien experiments attacked homes, destroyed buildings and forced people into prisons on the islands that were guarded by powerful experiments. The humans knew that these beings were not from Earth and they spoke in a language unknown to any Earthling. The only words they could understand was the names the experiments referred to each other. They were all called by numbers in English which at least gave the humans something to identify each one.

The first attacks happened so abruptly, that people thought they all arrived on Earth at once. The aliens were so strong it seemed as if they were not natural but more genetically made. Every inhabited island had to deal with groups of the aliens who all worked together. When the chaos first ensued the police thought they could take control of the experiments. They quickly realized that some of them had very dangerous and destructive power and were callable of overpowering any weapon or officer very quickly. When the natives began to be imprisoned, the humans called for back up and the American Armed Forces came to Hawaii.

That was when they saw the alien leader for the first time. He was small but had super strength, senses and intelligence. All the other experiments obeyed him which was quickly identified by the officers. They made 626 their main target hoping that if they killed him, they would be able to defeat his followers. But 626 was heavily protected by other experiments and even if the army was able to attack him, the little blue creature was easily able to defend himself. A tank once fired at him and amazingly 626 punched the blast away from him before he picked up the tank and threw it at another.

When the humans saw that killing the enemy was not possible, a new and more desperate tactic had to be used. They tried to capture the experiments one by one so they could evacuate freed prisoners from the islands. They would then destroy the empty islands and hope it would destroy all the aliens as well. But every time any experiments were captured, others would come and free them. Every vehicle arriving to evacuate people was destroyed before it could be used. It was like the experiments knew ahead of time what their plans were and sabotaged them every time.

With the Hawaiian Islands rapidly loosing any control, the rest of the world was very concerned. They all knew it was only a matter of time before the alien army travelled beyond Hawaii to take over more and more of Earth. Some countries aided in the fight but their armies failed as well. They could not destroy the islands because of the countless people still there and unable to leave. It started to look like Earth would loose this war and needed a miracle.

Present Day

Lilo Pelekai was watching television in her living room. The orphan and her older sister Nani had still managed to avoid capture thanks to their home being isolated. Both Lilo and Nani were very aware of the horrors happening on the islands and did not leave their home unless absolutely necessary. Despite this working so far, Nani knew it was only a matter of time before they were found as well. Her biggest fear was getting separated from Lilo and something happening to her little sister.

"As we reach the one month anniversary of the first alien attack, the alien experiments continue to gain control. If you have not been captured, we strongly advised you to stay in hiding. No fatalities have been reported but we do not know how long that will…."

The news reporter suddenly disappeared as the television abruptly shut off. "Heyyy" Lilo whined knowing it was her sister's fault.

"Lilo! It was too loud. Someone could hear us," Nani said harshly.

Lilo hugged her knees and buried her face. Nani sighed. She always tried her best to conceal how scared she was but she knew it was still frightening her seven year old sister. Nani sat down next to her and put her arm around her.

"I'm sorry honey, I just want us to be safe."

Lilo sniffed and looked up at her. "Why are they doing this?"

"I don't know, I guess they are all just really bad," Nani answered lamely.

"But no one can be that bad right? Not even Mertle Edmonds."

"Well I guess aliens can be. They are not from Earth."

Lilo sighed, she knew her sister was trying to make her feel better but it was still bothering her. As soon as the experiments arrived they attacked and Lilo could not help but wonder if they could ever belong here.
