Jupiter Eclipsing

by amandamayclair

Jupiter Jones once dreamed of escaping her life of drudgery for the lure of excitement and wealth. Having received those in overwhelming abundance, she wouldn't mind dealing with a few simple troubles for a change. But her destiny isn't resting, and when it comes hunting, she must rise to the challenge that, for better or worse, can change a world, or a universe.

35. Chapter 35

All over the city of Chicago, screens begin to fizzle with light. Phone screens. TV screens. Computer screens. Billboard screens. Overhead, a voice echoes the face crystallizing on each screen.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Jupiter Jones. You don't know me, but you will. Soon." Thousands of eyes are drawn upward where, blue lights emerge from the haze of orange reflected cloud, followed by the outline of a massive,multi winged ship, hovering low over the tip of the Sears tower.

"It has to start somewhere, so I decided I might as well start here. At home."

A few people scream, others gasp in a mix of horror and delight and point to the midnight sky.

"Time to buckle up, Earthlings. Everything you know is about to change."
