Contacting Space

Chapter 28

"To celebrate us entering Mexico we shall make a toast." Ms.Moor said while holding her water bottle. "I would like to thank everyone here for their patience with this incredibly long ride, which we still have to continue, but thank you all for not killing each other. Cheers."
"Cheers!" The rest of the group responded.
Mr.Moor clicked the radio on. 'Hello everyone. Terrible news, the entire Southern Hemisphere has been overrun with aliens. It is reported that they have made it all the way to the equator where they have suddenly stopped moving forward. Everyone within the Southern Hemisphere has been killed by the aliens. There is nothing we can do now. Everyone is going to die no matter what. Either take your life quick and easily, or suffer as the aliens shoot out chunks of your flesh, letting your body bleed out painfully until you drop dead at their feet. These aliens show no mercy. Find tall structures, there is no way to save yourself. They have made sure spacecrafts are unable to leave the hemisphere as they have blown them up whenever they pass by.' The radio began to lose signal. 'They...find...thermal detectors...end you...RUN...HELP...*distant screaming*...' It became clearer. 'Bleborbdorbid. Hello humans.' A strange sounding voice said. 'You should watch out, we're leaving no one, and I mean no one behind. We will murder you, and feast on your flesh! Hm hm! Blorbedorg. We have indeed eaten everyone who's south of your proclaimed border, and have our friends ready to capture anyone who tries to get to the border thinking that they could possibly escape us. Ha ha! You puny humans think you're so smart. 'Just watch they won't go to the border! You'll be safe there.' WRONG! HA HA! Now we don't want to kill every human though. We have plans to take one group of survivors from the Northern Hemisphere in order to continue to make us food from their bodies. We have been watching everyone's moves through our thermal cameras and have decided on who we want to take. Once we completely locate where they are we will take them off the face of the Earth into one of our spacecrafts. We see your governments have fell thankfully. Now they won't be able to hold a counter attack against us! I may be rambling right now so I'm going to destroy this building to leave you all in suspense for the chosen group to be taken. Good bye!' The radio emites a partial explosion noise before cutting to static. Everyone on the bus had their face change to white.
"Did- did he say we're all d- dead?" Eli asked.
"Y-yes." Wendy sat blankly looking at the window.
"Alright everyone. Listen up." Ms.Moor commanded. "We need to watch for these aliens. You see one, we attack, understand?"
"Understand." The group said. They kept their eyes peeled looking for any signs of motion outside the bus. *Tick...Tick...Tick...*
"Do any of y'all hear that?" Dan asked. The ground began to rumble slightly as the sky started to light up with a neon green. They frantically looked around trying to see what was outside.
"Oh."
"My."
"Fucking."
"Gosh." Michelle, Eli, Finn, and Jasper all managed to get out. A beacon of light emitted from the bottom of the craft in the sky scanning over everything. The ground started shaking more violently as the craft got closer and closer to the group. They grabbed anything that they could use as a weapon and huddled in the center of the bus. They heard a loud humming noise as the light increased. They continued looking at where the light was being emitted when their vision faded to the original darkness of the night. The ground stopped shaking and the humming disappeared. They all looked to each other not making a sound and clutching their weapons with white knuckles. They all heard a *pshewp* with a quick flash of light in sync with it.
"Bleborpigo" they heard outside. They saw a human like figure that was roughly four feet tall. The figure had six fingers on each hand and a beanie covering it's head. "Time to test this out and make sure it's working." The creature said as it pulled a cartoonish gun from a holster. It aimed it at the bus and shot a green ring from the bulb at the tip. The ring reflected off the metal and continued moving upwards until it had traveled no more than 30 feet before disintegrating.
"Did you all see that." Wendy whispered getting a nod from everyone else.
The creature knocked on the broken door of the bus and called out. "If you are in there please let me in. I need some belp to escape from the aliens." The group remained quiet. "Ship to ground, you sure this is the correct vehicle." Static played followed by alien tongue. "Alright." The alien said back. "I am now boarding your vehicle, you are now going to be working for us in order to produce more humans for food." The alien reached the top of the stairs greeted by the group holding weapons ready to attack.
"GO!" Ms.Moor shouted as they all ganged up on the alien. They killed it within seconds and it's orange blood seeped out of its body.
"I think you should be the one to hold onto this." Michelle said as she picked up the gun handing it to Ms.Moor.
"What are you doing?" Wendy asked.
"Grabbing aluminum foil." Jessica said.
"Why?"
"Trust me. "
"Ok, but I think your going a little bit psycho."
They heard more noise and saw flashes of light as the bus slowly became surrounded by aliens.
"What do we do now?" Mr.Moor asked his wife.
"We fight." They left the bus from the front door in a circle formation slicing, kicking, and beating the aliens. One by one the floor became littered in them along with the orange blood.
"Enough is enough." A voice boomed as they were lifted into the air. "You're coming with us." The visibility went out as they were sucked into the space craft.

"Where the fuck are we?" Wendy shouted.
"I have no fucking clue." Jasper responded in awe at the view he saw.
