Chapter 1: Something Beyond the Stars
In the far reaches of space, thousands of stars shine in the sky and as we pass through Mercury, we move along the solar system before slowing down to Planet Earth. We come to a stop as the planet moves around a bit.
(Scene changes)
It was night time on Earth and most of the people were either asleep or still active with work.
At a local military compound base in Florida, a satellite was seen rising slowly before coming to a stop.
Inside the compound, one of the scientists was typing on a computer while observing the stars in the sky.
Coming into the room was an african american scientist with some drinks in his hands.
"Hey, how's a going, Jacky?" the scientist asked as he handed his partner a drink.
"Well, I've been monitoring the solar system for a while and there's no alien activity going on, Chuck." Jackie replied back as he took a sip of his drink before going back to work. "But I can't seem to get this photon channeler working."
"Well, you better figure it out soon." Chuck advised. "The colonel wants to show it to the FBI next month."
"I know, I know!" Jackie said while typing on his computer as Chuck started working on a machine for the meantime.
As Jackie was typing, something came on the sonar as a red dot was shown coming flying in space.
Jackie noticed it and moved to the sonar before typing on the keyboard to get a look at it.
"Hey, I think I found something." Jackie said to Chuck, who got his attention and went over to him.
"What is it?" Chuck asked, looking at the sonar.
Jackie continued to type before he showed it on the big screen of the solar system. Then it showed a ball of fire heading their way.
"It looks like an unidentified object approaching fast." Jackie said as he continued to type, trying to get a better look at it. "And it's headed for Earth."
Chuck rose up with a firm look on his face as he said. "See if you can switch to the satellite space telescope."
"Okay." Jackie replied back, typing on the keyboard to get a better look as it still showed the ball of fire.
"Is it a meteorite?" Chuck asked, not taking his eyes off the screen.
"No, but whatever it is, it's approaching at great speed." Jackie answered to Chuck.
"Okay, zoom right in." Chuck ordered him.
(Scene changes)
The ball of fire continued to fly through the solar system as it was heading for Earth. But as we zoom in to get a better look at the 'ball of fire', it turns out to be an alien ship and it was using its thrusters to gain better speed.
It was drawing near Earth as it flew right past the atmosphere and was heading for the compound in Florida.
(Scene changes)
Jackie and Chuck were at a loss of words as the screen showed the ship heading right for them.
"Call the colonel and get the weapons online, hurry!" Jackie ordered Chuck, who compromised and was about to answer when.
BOOM!
Something exploded outside of the building as it shook up a bit as Jackie and Chuck fell to the floor.
(Scene changes)
As it turns out, the ship fired a few missiles to the satellite which made it explode before it hit the ground. The mysterious spaceship slowed down a bit as it came to a complete stop.
The soldiers came out with guns in their hands as they aimed at the space craft, which landed on the ground.
Suddenly, it sent out blue electricity bolts at the soldiers and they got shocked by them before they went unconscious.
Suddenly, the doors of the ship opened downwards as growling and hissing was heard inside before a shadowy figure was seen on the ground.
(Scene changes)
In the compound, Jackie and Chuck got up as they shook themselves off from the dust. But then there was a banging going on.
"What was that?!" Jackie shouted in alarm as he and Chuck turned to the door. Growling was heard along with gunshots and screams from the other soldiers outside of the room.
"It's an invasion!" Chuck cried out. "Erase the access code!"
"On it!" Jackie replied back as he typed on the keyboard. "X. Y. 4."
But just as he was about to erase the code, the doors from the other side exploded as it smashed the computer terminals.
Growling and hissing was heard from the darkness of the compound as Jackie and Chuck slowly rose up from their seats as they got scared.
Suddenly, a green beam was shot out from the darkness and it shocked them both as they screamed a bit before they fell to the ground unconscious.
The growling continued as footsteps started to come into the room and a reptilian three clawed hand was placed on the door. Then a strange bipedal alien came into view with a growl. It looked around for a bit before it snarled a bit and it entered inside.
In physical appearance in its bipedal body, it appears to have an exoskeleton with three claws on its hands and feet. It had a long, muscular tail with a single spike on the end of it, its teeth were razor sharp with a second pair of jaws in its mouth, and it appeared to be eyeless, but could sense thermal radiation. The most notable feature of the creature is the elongated, banana-shaped head. A potential explanation for this curious shape may be that the head may store muscles required to power the alien's mouth.
Soon more of it came into the room to join him as they growled a bit before one of them spoke to them.
"Set up the communicator and inform the Queen." The lead alien ordered.
"Yes sir." One of them replied back before he brought a strange communicator out.
He presses a button on the communicator and sets it on the ground. Then a blue vision opened it and it revealed to be another alien like them, but much different.
For starters this alien was actually their queen and much different to the other ones. She was much bigger being almost 15 feet tall, bigger than a T-Rex. Her posture is altogether more like that of a theropod dinosaur than that of a humanoid, which the other aliens resemble. She also has a much larger brain, with a defensive crest protecting her head. The most notable feature of the Queen, however, is the gigantic ovipositor in the lower part of her body.
"My queen." The lead alien said as he and his fellow followers bowed to her in submission.
"You may speak to me, my children." The Queen commended through the vision.
"We have infiltrated the compound of these foul human pests, Mother." The lead alien spoke to her. "All that is left is to steal all of their data to create the mutagen we have kept hidden from every being all over the world."
The Queen stared at him, even though she too was eyeless, and said. "Good. Send them to me as soon as you can. I do not want any other beings getting in my way. Once the mutagen has been perfected, the invasion of Earth will begin and there will be no one to stop the Xenomorph Empire this time."
"Yes, your majesty." The lead Xenomorph bowed to the queen in respect.
The communicator turned off as the hologram of the Queen vanished.
"Bring all of the data we came here for and take it to Xenomorph Prime." The Xenomorph leader commanded.
"Yes, sir." The Xenomorph warriors replied before they went to the computer and began to type into the computers to steal the data.
We move past the aliens as we see the danger sign blinking. Then we zoom right through the middle of the blinking lights and it becomes green.
Suddenly it exploded as we began the main title of the story. Thunder and lightning spark the planet before we zoom all the way through the solar system as we come to a strange red planet far different than Mars.
The main title appears on the planet with a number on as it glowed green
The Mutagen Situation 4: The War of The Worlds
The screen dies down and cuts to black.
