On darkness, a brown ferret approached the leader, who was sitting in a chair in darkness, which made him invisible.
"Sir, we have an approaching arwing." He said in a raspy voice.
"What? Arwing?" Asked the leader, surprised. "I thought Earth wasn't advanced enough for arwings!"
"They aren't." The ferret said. "Corneria gave Earth's government some to use for future inventions of theirs." The leader sat their, twiddling his fingers in the darkness.
"Well, regardless." He said. "Blast it out of the sky." The ferret saluted.
"Yes, sir." He said, then he ran off. The leader rolled his chair around so it was facing a window.
"So." He said. "Earth thinks it's capable of defending itself, does it?" He asked himself. "Well, we'll soon see how capable of self-defense Earth's forces really are."
The Arwing was leaving Earth's atmosphere. Inside it was Dan Smith, staring in awe at the Darkness II.
"My god." He said to himself. "Those Cornerians are freakin geniuses. Makes Earth's spaceships look like complete shit."
"Right, whatever." General Blight called over the headset Dan wore. "Alright, Dan. If you wanna make it through this alive, just listen to me. I'll fly you through the crap floating in front of you to Darkness II. Once your inside, you're to stop their plans & save the Earth."
"Got that." Dan said.
"Okay." General Blight said. "Ahead of you are the security ships. On your left is the weapons selection, & on your sticks are the triggers to fire your weapons. Select your weapon & fire away."
"Gothcha, general." Dan replied. He looked to his weapons options & saw a number of options. Rays, rapid fire, missiles, bombs, EMP bombs, & homing missiles. Dan smiled on homing missiles. "Homing missiles. Perfect." He said. He pressed the button to select the weapon & touched the buttons on the control sticks gently enough so he wasn't actually pressing them. He then saw 3 security ships approaching him. "Say hello to my little friend!" He said in a slightly Mexican accent. He lay into the firing buttons like a madman. Multiple missiles flew out of the Arwing's bazooka's & blew up the missiles. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He shouted.
"Don't get too excited." General Blight said over the headset. "Chances are there'll be more as you get closer to Darkness II."
"Yeah, yeah." Dan said. "You think I don't know that?"
"Just reminding you, Smith." Blight replied. "We don't wanna lose the Killer7. They're Earth's only hope."
"That's why you won't." Dan replied. He turned the right lever down & the left lever up, doing a barrel roll, & narrowly avoiding 2 lasers. "You see?"
"Just be careful, Smith." Blight said. "Now, you should be approaching the mine field around the Darkness II. Use the EMP Bombs to short them out."
"Gotcha, General." Dan replied. He selected the EMP bombs & was about to fire. "WAIT!" General Blight shouted over the headset.
"What, Blight?" Dan asked, sounding annoyed.
"Don't release the EMP bomb just yet. When I say now, you fire." Blight replied. Dan let out an exasperated sigh.
"Alright, fine." Dan replied. "I'll wait." Dan then noticed he was approaching 3 mines.
"HOLY CRAP!" Dan shouted. "3 MINES, DEAD AHEAD!"
"I know that, Smith." Blight said. "When I say now, release an EMP bomb on them."
"But what if I'm too close?" Dan asked. "The blast could short out my Arwing's mechanisms."
"Don't worry about it." Blight replied. "You can barrel roll away from the blast."
"You sure about that?" Dan asked, not sounding very convinced.
"Trust me on this." Blight relied. Smith gulped, wondering if Blight knew what he was doing.
"Wait for it." Blight said. Smith got closer to the mines. "Wait for it." He said again, the mines got even closer. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiit." He said, the mines were just feet away from him. "NOW!" Blight shouted. Smith pressed the EMP bomb button, releasing an EMP bomb. He then immediately barrel-rolled away & swerved in the opposite direction of the blast. The bomb then exploded, causing the mines to short out. Dan had just barely made it out of the bomb's blast radius.
"Blight!" Dan shouted. "You realize my ass was almost dead back there?"
"Calm down, Smith." Blight said. "The point is, you're alive."
"Yeah, well." Dan said. He then switched to Homing missiles. "I'm sticking with these." He saw more mines quickly approaching. He fired missile after missile at the field, hitting every single mine. His Arwing rumbled from the shock.
"Keep going, Smith!" Blight shouted. "You're doing great!" Smith moved forward a little more, dodging another mine that got close to him. He then shot down 3 more Darkness ships.
"Ha ha!" Dan laughed. "Reminds me of playing Galaga at the Pizza Place when I was a kid." Dan continued on, laying waste to all mines & Darkness ships that crossed his path. "I hope that this never ends." Dan said to himself. Then, he approached the asteroid field.
"Look sharp, Smith." Blight shouted. "Asteroids, dead ahead!"
"I see 'em!" Dan shouted. He let loose a barrage of homing missiles on the incoming asteroids, & destroyed them all. "YEAH! I'M THE FREAKING GREATEST!" He saw more & bigger asteroids approaching him. He fired homing missiles at them, smirking evilly, confident that they'd destroy the asteroids. However, when the missiles hit the asteroids, & the haze cleared, he saw they only did minor damage. "The hell?" He shouted. "The missiles didn't work?"
"Try the bombs, Smith." Blight replied. Dan nodded & selected the bombs. He flew up to the asteroids & deployed the bombs. The bombs exploded near the asteroids, reducing them to rubble. Dan smiled.
"It worked!" He shouted. He saw several more large asteroids approaching him. He fired bomb after bomb at the asteroids & reduced them to space dust. He smiled at this. He continued further, blasting more security ships & destroying asteroids. He then saw a doughnut-shaped asteroid approaching them. He barrel-rolled right through the hole, taking absolutely no damage. "Now that's a doughnut I DON'T wanna eat." Dan said to himself.
"Keep going, Dan!" General Blight shouted over the mike. "You're doing great!" Dan pressed on further. 5 security ships then approached him. Dan shot the ships, blowing them all up, & found himself approaching a mine field. He deployed an EMP Bomb, which exploded, shorting out the mines all around. He then shot down 3 more security ships that fired at him. 1 shot missed, 1 grazed the underside of the Arwing, & the other hit the wing, doing minor damage.
"Looks like I gotta fix that." Dan said to himself. He just continued on, downing the security ships that flew his way. He took out another mine field with an EMP bomb, & another. He then destroyed another fleet of security ships that came his way. "Man, this DEFINITELY beats Space Invaders back at the arcade." As he got further, turrets on the ship started firing at him.
"Here come the turrets." General Blight said. "Darkness isn't dumb enough not to have the ship armed. You gotta take out those turrets."
"Gotcha General." Dan replied. He selected the homing missiles & targeted all the turrets. He fired at all the turrets & broke their shields. He then targeted & fired at the turrets, blowing them all up. "WOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOO! Yeah!" He shouted. He continued on towards the Darkness II & looked at the hanger. He saw more security ships come out & fly in his direction. "Think you can stop me, huh?" He asked. "Think again." He switched to missiles & fired at them. The missiles hit all the ship dead on, blowing them all up.
"Nice work, Smith." General Blight said. "It's smooth sailing from here on in." Dan smiled cockily as he approached the hanger. A fox guard saw Dan's Arwing approaching the hangar. He hit a red button on the wall, & the hangar doors began closing slowly.
"You ain't getting' in that easily, pretty boy." He said in a sinister tone. Dan looked & saw the hangar door closing.
"Shit!" He shouted. "The hangar's closing!"
"WHAT?" General Blight shouted, having overheard what Dan said. "Well, hurry & get to it before it closes!" Dan nodded & hit a button on his right that said "turbo". The arwing then launched forward towards the closing hangar door.
"Woah!" Dan shouted as he was forced back into his seat. "This is fast." He then looked forward & saw the hangar doors were almost closed. He pulled forward on the left stick & back on the right, making the Arwing do a barrel roll. As the Arwing was on its side, it skimmed through the door, entering the Darkness II. He set the Arwing up right & hit the button marked "brake" on his right.
"Alright, Dan." Blight said. "Slowly push forward on both sticks to set the Arwing down carefully."
"Gotcha, General." Dan said. He slowly eased the sticks forward, setting the arwing down on the hangar floor. The for guard & a white rabbit guard then ran up to the arwing, both armed with blasters. The fox looked to the rabbit.
"You ready?" He asked.
"He won't know what hit him." The rabbit guard responded. They both aimed their blasters at the cockpit as it slowly opened. A hand grabbed the side of the arwing & they both aimed at it. A white figure then leapt out of the arwing cockpit, doing back flips & somersaults in the air. It flew through the air as they fired at it. It landed in front of them & snatched their blasters out of their hands. This frightened both of them greatly. They both looked at the figure, then at each other, then back at it. The figure was wearing a white business suit with a purple cape. He also had a black & white wrestling mask on his face. He held up the blasters & crushed them in his hands like tin foil. The 2 frightened guards stared at the masked Killer7 agent.
"Buena tarde." He said. He dropped the crushed blasters & picked both guards up by the backs of their necks & lifted them off the ground. "Muchachas." He then slammed their heads together, knocking them both out. "Y Buonas noches." He then dropped them. He then dropped the unconscious guards & contacted General Blight. "Senior." He said. "I have entered Darkness Dos. What now?"
"Alright, Mask De Smith." He said to the Killer7 agent, aka, Mask De Smith. "You gotta locate that laser beam & stop it from destroying Earth. Think you can handle that, amigo?"
"Si, senior." He said. "I will not let you down."
"See that you don't." Blight replied. "Good luck." & with that, the transmission ended. Mask De Smith took his hand off the voice part & drew his double grenade launchers. "You think you can destroy Earth?" He asked. "Think again."
