Hunter: Okay this one is really going to blow you all out of this world. It's called...

World War Invasion

The story begins in space. We see the inside of a spaceship and aliens known as the Kiki Martians. They looked like Kikimora except were green, wore space outfit of black with grey sleeves and leggings and had one eye colored blue and the other green. Two of them were behind the controls of the ship they were in while one more who appeared to be the leader wearing an additional cape, a pointed crown with red jewels and was sitting on a throne.

Kiki Martian 1: Emperor Kiki we regret to inform you that Mars is no longer habitable due to the high temperatures dropping below zero.

Emperor Kiki: Than it seems we must migrate to somewhere else.

Kiki Martian 2: Agreed your majesty.

Emperor Kiki: What other worlds could we go to.

One of the Kiki Martians turns on the computer showing different planets on screen.

Kiki Martian 1: Well how about Uranus or Neptune?

Emperor Kiki: No, it's always night and cold. Besides the air is unbreathable there

Kiki Martian 2: What about Pluto?

Emperor Kiki: That's not even a planet. It's a dwarf planet!

Kiki Martian 1: What about Saturn. That planet has many moons and many rings of cosmic dust.

Emperor Kiki: That's another cold planet with temperature close to 270 degrees below zero. Come on people can you choose some place that's more warm.

Kiki Martian 1: Uh of course your majesty. Uh, uh, oh Mercury. That's closer to the sun.

Emperor Kiki: That's too close and there's no air. Okay get it together! If you give me one more dumb option I will throw the two of you out the air lock. Understand?!

The two Kiki Martians panicked as they kept searching.

Emperor Kiki: You have until 5, 4, 3, 2...

Kiki Martian 2: Wait I found one your majesty! This one here. E-arth.

Emperor Kiki: E-arth?

The screen shows the Earth.

Emperor Kiki: It's pronounced Earth, but this one seems okay.

Kiki Martian 1: This maybe our best option. Air is breathable, is flowing with water, vegetation and temperature is more balanced here.

Emperor Kiki: This is perfect. Contact the rest of the inhabitants. Set course to Earth!

The scene shifts to California where we an asteroid on it's way to Earth and lands near the town of Linda Rosa as the residents look in awe. The next morning everyone gathers as the police keeps everyone away.

Officer Steve: Okay everyone back it up. Back it up! Back it- achoo! ( sniffs)Don't get too close. It's still hot.

We then meet Alice who wore a purple skirt suit with violet shoes alongside Principle Bump who wore a black pastor collar shirt as they approach Steve.

Alice: Oh Steve are you feeling alright?

Officer Steve: ( sniffs) I'm alright, I'm just getting over my cold. This darn flu season am I right? Pastor Bump you and your niece shouldn't be too close.

Pastor Bump: We're here so my niece can meet the meteor scientist who's supposed to be here.

We then here a car honking as it pulls up. Exiting out is Darius. He wore a beige jacket with a white button up shirt and black pants and a tie. He also had his old natural black hair rather than his abomination kind.

Darius: Alright where is it?

Steve: Who are you?

Darius: Dr. Darius Deamonne. Atomic scientist.

Alice: You're here. My name is Alice, I'm the school teacher of this town. This is my Uncle Bump, he's the pastor of the community church.

Pastor Bump: ( shakes his hand) How do you do Dr. Deamonne?

Darius: ( shakes his hand) How do you do pastor?

Officer Steve: Hey Doc! What do you make out of this?

Darius: Well there's one thing definitely off. The crater isn't deep enough.

Alice: What do you mean?

Darius: A meteor this size should have made it deeper.

Suddenly they heard a ticking sound from Darius's car.

Steve: What's that there? It's ticking like a bomb.

Darius: ( takes out device) It's Geiger counter for detecting radioactivity.

Pastor Bump: Radioactivity? Here?

Darius: Apparently.

Darius used the Geiger counter to scan and was ticking faster when it scanned the meteor.

Darius: It's coming from the meteor. Keep the civilians away from it.

Officer Steve: Alright everyone step away. This is not safe! You men, put barrier around it. Everyone go back.

Darius: This is very strange. Meteors are not supposed to be radioactive and it seems to be very light or hollow somehow.

Alice: So what does this mean?

Darius: I don't know. But until it cools off in 24 hours I can't do anything else to examine.

Pastor Bump: In meantime why don't you stay at my house? There's a square dance at the social hall this evening.

Later that night.

The townspeople were gathered at the social hall with music playing and dancing. Darius sat alone as he was eating some pie when Alice came up to him.

Alice: Care to dance Pretty Boy?

Darius: Yeah no. I don't dance.

Alice: Come on, you've never danced before.

Darius: Tried it, wasn't that good and was laughed at.

Alice: Come on.

Darius: Wait!

Alice pulls Darius onto the dance floor. He tried to keep up with Alice but his footing was wrong as he stepped on her foot.

Alice: Ow! You stepped on my foot.

Darius: I told you I don't dance.

Alice: Okay alright calm down. Just follow my lead. On three, brush right, fan left and scoop and scrape the sky.

Meanwhile.

We cut to Carl and Earl keeping watch on the meteor, playing poker when suddenly they heard something shake from it.

Carl: Did you hear that?

Earl: Yeah what was that? Look! It's moving!

They saw something unscrew from the top of the meteor and coming what looked like swan or cobra shaped neck terret with a blinking orb on it. The two hid behind the car as the terret looked around.

Carl: Someone must be in there.

Earl: What do you suppose they are? Where did they come from?

Carl: How should I know? Maybe men from Mars.

Earl: Maybe they're not men. Not like us.

Carl: Everything human doesn't have to look like you and me. Maybe we should let them know we're friendly.

Earl: How do we do that?

Carl: The white flag always helps.

The two walk up slowly to the meteor, waving a white flag as the terret set's it attention on the three.

Inside the ship

Kiki Martian 2: Look your majesty. Earth men.

Emperor Kiki: Oh they are so ugly.

Outside.

Carl: Hello there! We're friends. We come in peace.

Earl: How do you know they can understand us?

Carl: Body language. They can understand a white flag. You hear that! We're friends!

Inside ship.

Emperor Kiki: What are they doing?

Kiki Martian 1: I think it's some form welcoming.

Emperor Kiki: Well then, let's give them our own welcome.

Kiki Martian 1: ( presses button) Yes your majesty.

Outside.

Earl: Friends! Yes! I think they understand us.

Carl: Friends!

But suddenly the scope of the terret began to glow and fired off a heat ray blasting the two.

We cut back to the dance where the power suddenly went out as people looked confused as some candles were lit.

Alice: ( looks out window) Look, the power is out the whole town.

Officer Steve: Call the power company, find out what's going on.

Random guy: Hey the phones dead!

Darius: That's strange the phones not on the same circuit as the lights.

Pastor Bump: Perhaps it's time for us to settle in. ( takes out watch) It must be...oh my watch has stopped.

Officer Steve: I got the time. It's...that's strange my watched stopped as well.

Darius: Mine too.

Alice: They've all stopped at the same time.

Darius: There's only one explanation for this. You got a pin?

Alice takes a pin and hands it to Darius. He brings it close to his watch as the pin latches to his watch.

Darius: My watch is magnetized. That's what knocked the phones out too.

Officer Steve: How could it happen to everybody's watch altogether?

Darius: Do you have a pocket compass?

Officer Steve: Yeah.

Steve lends his compass to Darius. He opens it up as the needle wasn't pointing where it should be.

Officer Steve: Hey that needle isn't pointing north.

Darius: It's pointing where the meteor is at.

The scene shifts to Darius, Officer Steve alongside one of his officers driving to the site of the meteor. Upon arriving they see the car Carl and Earl was in was destroyed and the two no where to be seen.

Officer Steve: Where's Carl and Earl?

Darius: I believe that would be them right there.

Darius pointed at the skeletal remains of Carl and Earl. Suddenly the terret appeared as it was about to take fire at them. The officer accompanying drove off leaving Darius and Steve behind.

Darius: Look out!

The two jumped behind the bushes as the heat ray fired at the car disintegrating it. The meteor began to crack open and emerging out was a flying space war machine. It was black and shaped like a manta ray with the heat ray terret on the top. The center of the ship had a glowing green visor as well as green tips on the fins of the ship and was making an ambient space sound.

Officer Steve: What is that?

Darius: A machine from another planet.

Officer Steve: Uh yeah I can tell captain obvious I meant what kind is that.

Officer Steve: I don't know?

They looked up and saw two more meteor's coming down not too far from where the war machine was.

Darius: I think you should call the military.

Later

The military arrive as they surrounded the area with tanks, cannons and soldiers all lead by General Eda.

General Eda: Alright boys here's the plan. We rush em.

Darius: Uh that's not a plan. That's a wish list.

General Eda: Of course it is. We got the guns we shoot em. This is America.

Darius: That's not a very tactful plan.

General Eda: Hey listen genius. You do your job telling us what these aliens are and we blast them. So why don't you tell us what we know.

Darius: All I do know is that they're a highly advanced civilization with weapons we cannot comprehend. And these aren't the only ones. I'm sure you've heard some of them landed in France.

General Eda: Oh yeah but we're not going to end up like the French. We're Americans! We gonna take those bad boys down!

Darius: ( groans) Who made this woman general.

General Eda: Shh, look. There's more.

Two more war machines join the one we see.

Pastor Bump: Beings from another world. General we should attempt to communicate with them and shoot later if we have to. They're living creatures out there. If they are advanced, they must be closer to our creator.

General Eda: Yeah I'm not sure if these guys are the type who want to talk.

Pastor Bump: I know how I can do it. Just let me try.

Alice: Uncle wait don't.

Pastor Bump: I have to try. No real attempt has been made to communicate with them.

Alice: Uncle please.

Pastor Bump: It's alright. I like Dr. Deamonne. He's a good man.

Pastor Bump approaches the war machine.

Alice: Uncle no! Stop him!

Darius: No! It's too dangerous.

General Eda: I'm sorry he's too far.

Pastor Bump approaches the war machine as it looks down at him.

Kiki Martian 1: What is this earth man doing?

Kiki Martian 2: I'll take him out.

Emperor Kiki: No need. I will deal with this.

The bottom hatch of the war machine opens as Emperor Kiki levitates down to Pastor Bump.

Darius: My god! An actual alien life form.

General Eda: Get ready to fire men.

Alice: Wait, he's about to do something.

Emperor Kiki: Well, anything you wish to say?

Pastor Bump opened up his briefcase which turned into an electric piano keyboard. He began pressing the keys testing the pitch and notes as Emperor Kiki looks confused.

Emperor Kiki: Uh what are you doing?

Pastor Bump: Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

He then began playing Axel F on his keyboard.

Darius: What is he doing?

Alice: The universal greeting.

Pastor Bump kept on playing as he danced to the song while the soldiers looked confused while Emperor Kiki tapped her foot in rhythm of the song while the Kikimartians inside the ship danced to it.

General Eda: Dang he's got some moves for an old man.

The song ends as he breathed heavily. He looked down at Emperor Kiki who shed a tear in her eye. She wiped her eyes and reached out her hand to him and he was about to shake her hand.

Darius: Oh my god did he actually do it?

But then she took out her ray guy and vaporized him in one shot.

Emperor Kiki: Ha, sike!

Alice: NO!

General Eda: Okay that's it. Let em have it!

The military began firing at the war machines. But they weren't making any hits. At first it seemed they were missing the shots but really the weapons were being blocked by some force. Emperor Kiki stood inside the shield so she was unharmed. She yawned and went back into the ship.

General Eda: What's going on? Why can't we hit em?

Darius: They seem to have put out some sort of electromagnetic covering, a protective blister.

General Eda: In English.

Darius: They put up and invisible shield.

The kept firing but still nothing as we cut inside the ship.

Emperor Kiki: Oh how cute. They're trying to fight back.

Kiki Martian 1: We should be just fine as long as the shields are up your majesty.

Emperor Kiki: Good now show them what real weapons of mass destruction are like.

The war machines now used their weapons. Aside from the heat rays, the fins of the ship fired green lasers as they disintegrated the soldiers and the tanks.

General Eda: That skeleton beam must be what they used to wipe out the French city.

Darius: It neutralizes messons somehow. They're the atomic glue holding the matter together. Cut across their lines of magnetic force and any object will simply cease to exist.

General Eda: In English Brainiac!

Darius: They're lasers are highly destructive! Take my word for it general! This line of defense is useless against that kind of power! Get hold of Washington! We're going to need the big guns!

General Eda: You don't need to tell me twice. Fall back! Fall back!

Darius: ( takes Alice's hand) Let's go. We have to get out of here.

Alice: Where?

Darius: To my plane.

Inside the ship.

Kiki Martian 1: They're retreating your majesty. Shall we go after them.

Emperor Kiki: Never mind them, we have more important things to deal with. Activate the communicator to all units.

Kiki Martian 2: Yes your majesty.

The Kiki Martian turns on the radio.

Kiki Martian 2: You're on.

Emperor Kiki: Attention all units. The time has come to claim our new home. Now is the time to take out the old and make way for the new. Go now to the human cities and destroy them. Destroy everything they built. This world now belongs to Kiki Martian empire! Ahahahaha!

The scene transitions to numerous news paper articles with headlines, " U.S Invaded!" " Mars Attacks!" and " Invaders from Mars!" We see a montage of more war machines appearing all over the world as humanity has tried to fight back, but to no avail as the war machines destroy everything they see.

The scene cuts back to Darius and Alice as they've landed near an abandoned farm house.

Darius: Let's stop here. Hopefully we can find some food.

The scene shifts to inside as Alice cooks some bacon and eggs.

Darius: Ah looks good. You know I mostly get my meals in coffee shops and restaurants.

Alice: Don't you have anyone to cook for you at home?

Darius: Nah, I usually live at the campus. I don't have a family. Unlike you.

Alice: To be honest I didn't technically have one. I was an orphaned girl until I was taken in by Uncle Bump.

Darius: I'm sorry for you loss.

Alice: They seem to murder everything that moves. Why are they doing this?

Darius: I don't know. If they're a dying race they maybe trying to find a new world. Maybe ours was the best suited for them.

Alice: But why by force? Couldn't they have talked to us first?

Darius: I guess they're not the friendly type. But if they're mortal they must have some weakness. They'll be stopped, somehow.

Alice: I hope so. I feel like I'm getting old and I still haven't found a man to settle with. I mean I feel I don't have time and I'm always busy at the school and the last time I dated a guy he was the worst. I mean he claimed to be a loyal follower of the lord like my uncle but he just wanted me for my looks.

Darius: Ugh I hate those kind of people.

Alice: I know. Never really tried again and... ( sighs) I guess this is how it ends. The world is ending and I'm going to die without anyone with me.

Darius: Whoa easy. You're not going to die and you're not alone. You won't be.

Darius had his hand on hers. The two blushed realizing what was going on and looked away. Suddenly they felt the house shaking. Darius looked out the window as another meteor was coming down.

Darius: Take cover!

Darius got Alice and they brace themselves as the meteor crashes partially into the house, breaking most of it down. The two got back up as they looked around the ruined house. The could hear the meteor cracking open as another war machine rises up.

Darius: Something's coming. It can't see us.

The two hid behind a counter of the kitchen when coming through the debris was a Kiki Martian probe like a periscope. It opened up with dome like scope. It looked around the ruined house as it was coming close to where the two were hiding as they crawled away. But Alice accidentally knocks down a piece of lumber as they are noticed by the probe. Darius took an axe and chopped the scope of the probe off as it retracted.

Darius: ( picks up probe head) Well this is a keeper.

Just then Alice felt something on her back. She gasped as she saw the hand. She looked over and saw four Kiki Martians one of them had their ray gun pointed to her

Kiki Martian: Prepare to die Earthlings.

Darius: Alice. ( raises axe) I'll save...

But Darius didn't do much because much to his astonishment Alice fought the four Kiki Martians with martial arts. She knocked the gun off one of them and used a double punch, followed with a hook, uppercut and a jump kick. The second one fired her gun at her, but she jumped up and did a flip as the attack hit and disintegrated the third Kiki Martian. Alice lands back down and delivers multiple punches at the one that tried to fire her knocking her out. The last one rushed at her from behind but she took her out with a spinning jump back kick.

Darius: What a woman.

Alice: ( pants) I forgot to mention, I am a black belt in karate. Anyway shall we get out of here?

Darius: Uh yeah, let's.

Later.

We cut to Darius and Alice with General Eda once again in a meeting room.

General Eda: Alright listen up. With the President's permission we are down to our last resort.

Darius: You don't mean.

General Eda: That's right. It's time to use, the bomb.
