Bumblebee Creek, a piece of green beauty of American forests. Full of tall trees and other plant life, it's quite a place to travel when camping or trekking around the nation. The sunset certainly helps as well.
And surprisingly, it's still looking well as ever, holding beautiful wildlife.
But right now, it has some peculiar wildlife. Something that hasn't been seen by a common human yet, but at least by animals.
Deep inside the forest, a squirrel's climbing a tree while picking up their nuts from it.
As the squirrel tried to climb again, a piece of wood in the trunk dents, causing the squirrel to lose balance.
After some desperate attempts to climb back, the squirrel falls down into the ground, seemingly to its death.
But then, just before that happens, the squirrel lands safely into a hand.
But a very peculiar hand, it's one in grey color. It was hard to notice the rest due to the dim sunlight.
The figure holding the squirrel then releases it away.
After some moment of silence, the figure spoke.
"Such interesting creatures...this planet does indeed hold a life, something like the expanding stars," the figure says, sounding feminine.
She quickly steps out from the shadow where she was hiding from the sunlight.
Her looks are one of pure enchantingness like no other, as pure as the angels who seek out and protect all of Humankind.
Her body looks almost slim yet with a noticeable large bust on her chest, like the one of a beautiful and fitting princess, especially a Human one.
Her alluring clothes are also proof of it. Her hair as long and green like many gardens, her droopy low ears, noseless face, eyes as red as the most gorgeous looking emeralds and lastly, a pair of green wings in her back.
She indeed looks like a very charming being from another place, another time, another ideal.
A visitor it seems, a special visitor.
The Alien girl then touches the trunk of the tree, tilting her head side to side.
It's like she wants to examine every bit of beauty in it, after all, she's on Earth.
She stops touching it and proceeds to crouch, looking at most of the plants in the ground, and seeing if there is one that catches her interest.
"Hey, sis! You finished now?" a voice says, this time it's a male one.
But it wasn't something that it could be audibly heard by anyone nearby to hear it. Rather, it was inside her head where she listened to his words.
"Yeah, coming back now."
She then uses her wings to fly away to the location of her brother where he called her out. Quickly jumping inwards, she could fly as fast as a bald eagle.
With her flapping wings, she could keep inflight while maintaining the serene demeanor she has.
She eventually locates her brother, sitting atop in one of the branches of the tall tree.
He has the same looks like her, but he has a mullet instead, and some decorated brown armor, meaning a high position in the force he served.
His sister then lands next to him on the branch, carefully landing near him.
He has a pleased yet firm expression on his face as if she had something that could absolutely please him very much.
"So, took a good peek at today's study?"
"I guess so, my dear brother."
He chuckles in response.
"I see, probably some good animals worth checking for here after all."
"Yes...but what's more interesting is that the beings here don't have an advanced mindset as the creatures in the galaxy."
"Hmm, primitive life forms it seems. At least compared to other planets."
"Or just maybe they're just the beings that seem to evolve very slowly...aren't they?"
He then pats her shoulder. She smiles back.
"You'd probably need a bit more checking on them if you want to seek the answer you desire, sis."
She giggles in response, while he smiled back.
Whatever species they are, maybe they can hold the best secrets a Human being could know.
But of course, one also doesn't know if it can apply in a social way as well.
Learning for Humanity is still out there, and these beings may just be proof of something beyond in what they can expect.
While the birds chirped around the forest and they shared a nice little hug, the sister then wonders something.
"Brother...I don't know if this is..."
"Something wrong?"
"I don't know how to put it...but it's something I've been wondering for some time..."
"Go on...don't worry, I'm all ears for it."
"Well...it's about the inhabitants of this planet..."
The brother's face then turned one into puzzled confusion, as he didn't expect that kind of question.
"Hu-humanity...? Are you truly sure?"
"What else do I need to learn? I've already studied the majority of lifeforms on this new planet, but I really want to know about these Humans as well."
"Oh no, not that, please. You know how well our uncle fared when he tried to visit this planet. And what they do to each other, do you honestly expect they'll welcome you with open arms?"
"But, what if there's still a good heart inside them? What if-"
"No. You should know well of what we've learned from the books or any stuff we've watched and learned from them, this race is both unworthy and too violent to become part of the galactic community even if the Zlocu don't reach the place and lose the war. Now all I want you is to learn that regardless of what you believe, Terra is classified as hazardous for a good reason, and no way the Humans are gonna bulge even with that presence of yours, because right now, we don't want the last of the Soranians being killed by the worst of the worst compared to the Zlocans, understand?"
The sister falls silent for a moment, maybe she clearly wanted to know more about the Human race herself, but her brother clearly is one that doesn't need any of it.
Perhaps sadly, Humanity may never be ready to evolve beyond to the stars.
But that alone is something that can be challenged.
The brother notices her crestfallen demeanor, now with her head tilted downwards.
Maybe indeed he went too harsh in his thoughts of the Human race.
Maybe they do deserve a second chance.
"Look, I'm deeply sorry if you didn't like it...it's just..."
But before he could continue speaking, a bolt of electricity then strikes from behind, quickly paralyzing him completely.
The bolt then turns into a long rope as it starts to pull him away to somewhere.
She quickly notices another one coming her way but she swiftly dodges it by jumping off the tree branch.
"What the?" she says with an extremely worried tone.
Could it be?
Did the Humans...?
She quickly turns back and sees what happened.
It's something she never asked for, as her eyes widened and bulged, her mouth trembling, breathing heavily.
Zlocan battleships arriving near the forest. And Varris being taken to a nearby assault ship.
They thought they could be safe for a long time.
They thought they could never find them.
They were wrong.
Very, horribly wrong.
"No...NO!!!!" she screams as she then starts to jump again to fly.
However, it doesn't last long as the nearby assault ship, the one that captured her brother starts to fire at her wildly, almost knocking her off balance.
Eventually, she has to settle in going ground as she lands hastily on the ground.
"This can't be happening...this can't be happening...this can't be happening...This CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" she says to herself as she starts to run away deep into the forest. Luckily, the tall trees, manage to provide some cover for the alien to escape.
Inside the ship, the Zlocan gunners face a hard time in tracking her down, while others pick the unconscious brother while injecting something to him.
"That filthy Soranian is getting away from us!" a gunner says.
"If there's something else that can equal to her determination, then we could repay her with equal measure. Drop it."
The ship then drops a figure to the ground, something almost animal-like, which then starts to chase her.
It's said that there are some nightmares that can't be turned off... even this one, a long one for any survivor.
Cow Creek, same place, same time.
In there, there are four people walking by, each looking distinct from each other.
One is a tall man with a mullet, almost looking like a rock fan, the other is a blonde as beautiful like Goldilocks, the other is a youthful looking man with gel hair, and lastly, a curious looking girl with the appearance to match every schoolgirl people can imagine.
She has a slender body yet also with slightly big breasts. Her hair brushed like some girl who likes some fun, a nice, tiny blue hairband in the back of her hair, with some nice red rose near her open vest.
She's walking happily alongside her supposed friends, who have some clear discomfort in their faces.
"Oh man, never thought we could get a trip as long as in Niagara Falls. I hate this kind of things you know!" the youthful guy says.
"Hey there Freddie, this one should be mandatory enough for you to know if you want to live." the blonde girl replies.
"You said like it's a good thing, Amelia." the tall man says.
"Oh shut it, Ted, you always side with him!"
"Whoa whoa hey! I mean come on guys, don't you think we've at least lucky enough to get away from a furball like in good ol'Dallas to bring this far? You can bet for sure we can get some hot stuff in Carson City as well!" the schoolgirl says.
"Well, that city's already packed anyways so I think it doesn't matter anyway," Ted says.
"But it has the necessary elements for all the escapees around the nation guys, plus it's a humanitarian thing to help others because it's the right thing in the long run," Amelia says.
"Oh yeah...but let's hope not too many, we're too low on anything anyways," Freddie says.
The schoolgirl could only then tap on his shoulder, likely a way to cheer him up. He doesn't change his already bored expression.
"Oh Freddie, don't you always love that cutey slape?"
"How can I when we're at war?"
She scoffs at the notion of it, she may probably don't care of what the war entails to them.
"Oh silly Fredito, always worried to the top percent, you know that? Well, I guess that as long as we're together with our fullest hearts and great fun for everything, we may be sure that we'll live longer for it! And then afterward, SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS!"
The whole group could only stare silently at her response, at least Ted let out a small chuckle of it, if only for the joke of terrible taste.
"...You wouldn't mind with some alfredo?" She asks in a puzzled manner as she stands in front of them.
"Guys..." she says sadly as her expression then changed.
"No no! Please, don't be upset. I mean, sure thing my friend but maybe in the case that you should know how all of this looks. Right now, it's not the time to crack jokes, not with those freaks out there."
"Not good?! Ha! As if that will prevent me from not being able to save you at all, I mean, with all of us together, we're all sure to survive this long trip without harm right?!"
"I think you're blocking our-"
"Look, I simply want to tell you how amazing friends like you can be guaranteed to-"
"LOOK OUT!!!"
Ted yells as he pushes the schoolgirl aside, noticing something from behind.
It's a red laser bolt, which then impacts on both eyes, leaving them black marked and scorched.
The group itself stares in shock from the dead body of their fallen friend, as they soon notice where the blast came from.
A battalion of Zlocan troops headed in front of them, emerging from the woods.
"Oh god no! Please!" Freddie yells as he and the rest stand back from the Knights.
A Zlocan Knight then chuckles in response.
"Oh, how kind of you to take good care of your old friend. Too bad that his stupidity was in vain because you won't live for long anyway. Now, say goodbye to your old selves." he says while aiming his rifle towards the gang.
But before he could fire back, a bullet lands on the head, bringing him down to the ground.
The other two checked where it came from, it's from none other than an elderly inspector with a greying balding hair yet with a firm body enough to be part of the competent force, leaning outside the window of a speeding police car, wielding a magnum revolver. He's accompanied by other police officers in their cars.
The Knights start to return fire, the officers do the same while they brake their cars and get out to take cover.
The group then tries to hide near one of the cars of the elderly officer, but before they could fully do it, Freddie is ultimately shot in the back near his heart, dropping dead soon after.
"FREDDIE!!!" the schoolgirl yells in anguish.
They soon continued to take over as the two forces kept on in their gunfight.
Bullets after bullets.
Lasers after lasers.
An interesting showdown it seems.
Then, in midst of everything that is happening, Amelia quickly grabs her friend's collar.
"Listen to me! I know you don't want this, but to ensure your safety, you must flee from this!"
"But...what about you!?"
"Don't worry about me, I'll try to survive with the others! I don't want you to keep on suffering while seeing a scenery like this, so go now please!"
The schoolgirl could only try so hard at holding her tears to no avail as she soon shakes her friend.
"BUT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU!!! NOT AT ALL, NOT AGAIN!!!"
"And how the hell does that even matter!? Do you want to cling on to something you may not even hold forever!?"
"But...I don't..."
"Listen to me ye girl, if there's one thing you need to know is that sometimes one must sacrifice for the good of many, and if any of ye don't try, then this war will be more lost than it should be!" the inspector says.
"But-"
"Just listen to him and me! Run, don't hold back! And remember, always look for the fun as much as you always want! Please my friend..."
After some brief moment of hesitation, she certainly could still try to evade the enemy fire.
But before she could try to answer her long-life friend, a laser bolt strikes near her skull, quickly taking her life away, causing the schoolgirl to scream in terror and in tears.
"GO!!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!!" the inspector yells.
She then takes her fateful choice of running away.
She does as fast as she can, like the everlasting wind she ever wanted to feel.
A Zlocan knight notices the girl running away as they soon press some buttons in his waist, causing some drones from their back and soon start to give chase towards the schoolgirl.
Whatever happens next to all the four souls, it will change their lives forever.
And for Earth and the Universe, is it truly their judgment day after all?
