[meanwhile on ABC7 Eyewitness news TV]
Daisy Williams: Here's a bulletin from Winston Field, Long Island: Fleet of army bombers carrying heavy explosives flying north in pursuit of enemy. Scouting planes act as guides. They keep speeding enemy in sight. Just a moment please. Ladies and gentlemen, we've run special wires to the artillery line in adjacent villages to give you direct reports in the zone of the advancing enemy. First we take you live at the battery of the 22nd Field Artillery, located in the Watchtung Mountains, and the live footage you'll see will be dillian chester who will be reaporting live on helicopter.
(meanwhile at watchtung mountains)
Dillian chester: thank you daisy, hello im dillian chester im in the air right now and as you can see there are three to six alien machines martians marching their way at the army forces, but it seems that all isn't well for them. it seems that the solders are fireing with everything they got at the martian machines but there are three more martian machines coming, but look diffrent from the other large ones and many of our army can barely hit them. it looks like . . . um daisy im not sure what im seeing . . . but what i am seeing will shock you as me, it seems that the large martian machines are protected by force of somekind . . . it might be . . . some kind of sheild or invisable armor on or around them.
Daisy Williams: wait?! did you say a sheild? how can you tell theres a shield on or around them? can you describe it? are you talking about the new martian machines or the other ones.
Dillian Chester: the new ones daisy the new ones, well to answer your question daisy its hard to say but there you can see there are tanks fireing at the new martian fighting machine, i'll just zoom in ... as you see theres an impact explosion just before the missle could impact and cause damage, and there you see theres a small glow of purple violet, with a tint of bright neon of green and yellow ripples and right now they just faded back and the sheilds are still there but you can't see them. but right now there are herds of smaller martian machines and are marching their way to the army but it like worser then war. but they seem to be fireing some kind of cannon and fireing at the ground where many of the troops are and there you can see theres some kind of sphere and they seem to be emitting some kind of smoke, it seems like some kind of smoke bombs from the new machines.
Daisy Williams: um dillian you said theres a sheild now you talking about smoke, what kind of smoke? are you talking about tabacco or weed?
Dillian Chester: i'm not sure if its tabbaco or weed daisy i can tell you that its neather of them, cause this is unlike any kind of smoke i seen, cause its apperance is like a greyish black with a hint of green and its starting to thicken already and you can see there are a few troops being ingulfed in it as it continuing to spread across the field.
Daisy Williams: okay and you think this could be some form of bio-weapon of some sort?
Dillian Chester: its hard to say or even see, but the smoke is still spreading at an enormus rate and its like sweaping across the battle field . . .
Sade Barnard: um daisy Dillian i hate to interupt but we just got live call from an army solder on ground control in the field right now and he wants to go live immediatly
Daisy Williams: alright sade and we'll get back to you later dillian and if you have something urgent you want to report we'll get to right away.
Dillian Chester: i understand daisy and if i see something importaint i will inform you right away back to you Daisy.
Daisy Williams: thank you Dillian and we'll give live footage from the ground where a solder of the ground forces defending the area from the martian forces.
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) i know this might be a hard time ABC7 but im just going to be useing the livecam right now, if your wondering why im wearing this gas mask, well as you can see theres smoke moving towards us right now and we're going to be wearing these just in case if the smoke could be toxic and it could contain gases that are ether ... anyway im going to be heading into the field where the smoke is, but im not going along, cause i have my friend here and this is buck
Buck: (muffles from gas mask) hi
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) im going to be attaching my cam to my belt and it going to be recording the whole battle. (attaches the iphone live cam to belt) buck you ready?
Buck: (muffles from gas mask) yeah!
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) alright, come on lets go!
(leaves the fort and enters the battle field) (guns and tanks get louder)
Buck: (muffles from gas mask) dude you think theres going to be any dead bodies in the field?
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) you never know unless you look to see it for yourself.
Buck: (muffles from gas mask) what if we get killed?
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) come on dude!
(arrive at the scene where the thick black smoke still spreading)
Solder: (muffles from gas mask) you ready dude.
Buck:(muffles from gas mask) lets do this man?
(enters the black smoke in the field)
Solder:(muffles from gas mask) aw man its so dark.
Buck:(muffles from gas mask) i know ri (trips on something) ah oh
Solder: whats up you alright
Buck:(muffles from gas mask) yeah im perfectly K.O. i think i tripped on something?
Solder:(muffles from gas mask) like what?
Buck:(muffles from gas mask) hard to say, its pitch black out here
Solder: shush whats that noise
(machine sounds in the distance moving close)
Solder: i think the smoke is clearing wait a minute i think i see something . . . whats tha-
(Metal hermit spider attacks and kills the solder)
Buck:(muffles from gas mask) OMG OMG help (fires gun at the small tripod machine as it drops the dead body of the solder recording)
Daisy Williams: excuse for the interuption we have an incoming massage from Dillian on the air says that he has a shocking report to informe
Sade Barnard: okay Dillian your on the air.
Dillian Chester: thank you guys, i am still on my helicopter right now and as you can see the smoke is clearing and there are dozens of dead solders on the ground, but i see the herd of smaller tripod machines marching their way to the frontline by entering the smoke but as you see, there is one solder in the clearing of smoke fighting one of the small martian machines.
Sade Barnard: yes we seen him before thats the guy from the live footage we saw earlier.
Daisy Williams: yeah and it comes as a shock to me that a sneek attack is about to begin.
Sade Barnard: and all solders should where gas masks at all times. that goes for you civillians and if you can't get one, then it looks like your going to have to make one, but if you can't your in a lot of trouble.
Dillian Chester: um guys i hate to interupte, but as you are seeing, it appears that one of the martian fighting machines have been taken down and it seems that there are a few machines trying to carry it while it seem the rest are attacking the army and ripping them to shreads and their heat rays are fireing at the everything in sight and are ...
(heat ray fires at Dillian chesters helicopter)
Daisy Williams: dillian . . . are you there . . . Dillian?
Sade Barnard: um daisy i think we should call Dillian back for now.
Daisy Williams: yeah i guess so, we'll get back to the news, right after these commercals.
George Wells/narrator POV:
Both me and the Artilleryman Flint started moving on foot, thankfully i was able to find a way to new york city without a boat or car, however we had walked for nine hours it took longer as we traveled across the road. then we moved towards King George's road and we came upon Hilton Garden Inn but it was deserted. we took a short five minute rest, until the artillery man found a kitchen and we filled our stomachs and packed things in our pockets and packs with everything we can hold. "look a pack of water filled bottles and a few glass of wine, well thats two lucky finds." he said as he starts collecting two glass bottles of wine and offers the two bottles of water to me and i greatfully accepted his offering to me. I had this feeling that this might be him doing a favor as I did for him when we first met. Untill we hurried after-wards then there was seemed to be no living soul anywhere. Flint started looking around the area and started to wonder what happend to the civillians, I then remembered that the news anounced the evacuation of new jersey "is everybody dead?" Flint the artillieryman asked me as I looked at our surroundings untill I notice there were gunners and tanks standing there "not everybody is dead they just evacuated the area, like I told you. Look over there, see! six tanks with gunners standing by." I informed him as i pointed at the six tanks and gunners, he gave me a concerned look but understood "they must be on full watch for the martians." he informed me as I gave him a confused and curious stare "hmm? what do you mean by that?" I asked him as we looks over in the distance of the tanks and solders "I mean that they haven't seen the heat ray yet!" he informed me until we hurried along the way through paterson street, suddenly there was a heavy explosion the ground heaved,windows shattered and dozens of smoke erupted into the air. The Artilleryman, Jeffery Flint began shouting "LOOK! there they are! what did i tell you?" he yelled as he start pointing at where there were solders and tanks preparing for what was facing them. quickly one after the other four of the fighting machines appeared. monstrous tripods higher than the tallest steeple striding over the trees and smashing them, walking engines of glittering metal, each carried the huge funnel and i realized with horror that I seen this awful thing before! as the Guns of the army tanks started firing and solders started shooting at the four marching fighting machines, there was something also among the feet of those monsterous machines . . . not just one but a bunch of em. They were a few dozen herds of smaller tripod machines, they each had hoods that are umbrella shaped, their heads were surrounded by long whip-like tentacles with knifes on the end of each tenticle and in edition these machines have two larger tenticles above where the three legs are moving. These two tentacles have scissor like claws on the end of both tentacles, these killing machines even bring death at close combate. it became a bloodbath as I watched in terror when the solders started charging in and running back as they started fireing their guns at the small machines. But these machines just kept on ensnaring the solders and slice them in half with their claws, while the small tentecles sting them, stab em, scure them, ensnare them, strangle them, pierce them, tearing the solders in the battle to pieces non-stop, those machines were like attack dots that just start rampaging across the battlefield by the dozens. thats when i gave these small machines a name . . . Metal Hermit Spiders! until i saw that a few solders retreting towards me as i notice a hermit spider instantly marched its way towards my direction I laid flat on the ground as i imediatly took cover, i knew i had to be very still, as i pretended to be a dead corpse but the hermit just hovered above me, I dare not move a muscle, cause if there was any sign of movment . . . it would mean sudden death by these tentacles and claws of this deadly monstrocity. My chest started pounding, but just when the machines tentecles were about to touch me, a solder shot at the Metal Hermit Spider in the distance and started draw the machine away from me. I got on my feet and made a mad dash to the river. Then a fifth fighting machine appeared close by at river street park. in a mere instant it raised itself to full hight carried the funnel high in the air and the ghostly terrible heat ray struck the town. As it struck all five fighting machines exulted emitting howls which roared like thunder.

George Wells/narrator POV:
the six tanks with-seen now five simultaneously attacking and decapitating a fighting machine. the martian inside the hood was slain splashed to the full winds and the body nothing now but an interdict devise of metal went whirling to destruction, as the other monsters advanced people ran away blindly, the raillery man among them, but i jumped into the river until forced up to breath now the tanks spoke again but then this time the heat ray sent them to oblivion. the heat ray swept across the river a huge wave near to boiling point rushed upon me and i screamed aloud, then scolded, half blinded and agonized. I staged through leaping hissing right up towards the shore, i fell helplessly in full sight of the martians expected nothing but death. but then a foot of a tripod came down close to my head then lifted again as the four tripods carry away the debris of their formed comrade and i realized the defining miracle i had escaped.

Daisy Williams: welcome back im Daisy williams
Sade Barnard: and im sade barnard , we're reporting from our live studio, as for our skyviewer Dillian Chester seems to be unavalable to report, its like ... how long do you think its been Daisy?
Daisy Williams: about 24 minutes problably . . . anyway heres diana Wayne with the traffic report in new jersey.
Diana Wayne: hi daisy, well it seems that the traffic here seems to be getting big, due to the evacuations in new jersey. there are lots of cars and buses coming in already, theres honking, shouting and shoving, its like a parade on hold out here. although there are some policemen trying to escourt the civillians, but theres so much traffic here its hard to move along.
Daisy Williams: thank you Diana, now this just came on my desk that a third cylinder had landed somewhere close to new york and that our millitary are trying to prevent the alien forces from entering the area? but there are some messages from the leaders of russia and europe that they are willing to answer the call for the mobilization against the martians.
Sade Williams: yes so it seems, but as for the other countries are still recruting solders for the warfront. we just got word from the united kingdom that the queen is supporting the alliance.
Daisy Williams: well theres some good news but recently we just got word from the millitary that the martian machines made their way at paterson street and many of the solders were disentergrated and torn to pieces by smaller machines. thankfully they were able to take down one of the martian tripods but the other machines carried the martian tripods remains and retreated afterwards, but it seems like their trying to make their way to new york city?
Sade Barnard: oh boy, sounds like we need to start prepairing the evacuation for new york but we'll be prepairing to await the decission from the mayor, while we wait for his anouncement, here's victor giles with the weather.
Victor Giles: thank you guys, it seems its hard to say if there will be weather reaports this week, but just in case this might be the only one this month. it seems we're going to get cloudy today but tomorrow its going to get very stormy with a little rain, the day after that well a little bit sunny. . . Daisy can you please . . . i like a break here and my family is packing today and i have to get to the dock really soon?
Daisy Williams: its alright Victor, i understand and maybe you might do reporting at the docks with your family. we'll be right back after these commercails!
