The alien finally stopped coughing and realized it was time to tell the youngling the truth. The space man gave the alien a concerned look and took out a comunicator giving it to the youngling.
"Just let him explain first, he'll explain everything you need to know and just know, we'll always be here for ya." The spaceman said patting the younglings back. "Its show time, I'll catch you on the other side" he added as his jetpack began to activate and the space man shoot off flying away.
"Wait what is going on?" said the youngling confused looking at the comunicator "Where is he going?"
"Well, as Blue said, it's not going to be easy to understand, but I'll give it my best shot." the alien stopped walking and the friend group stopped as well looking at the alien in silence waiting for what he was about to say.
"When I came here, to this planet, your dad and mom where really hospitable to me and my cuttlefish. But it turned out that they had a reason for this..."
A short story...
this part is called
The Plan
Many years ago, a powerful swords man was hired by a govermental branch to help out with a planetary security project. The Martian colonie was now on full development and with the arrival of a being with powers like no other humans where facing new possible problems. This powerful cosmic being was friendly, but there was no way of knowing if other beings or civilizations would pose a threat. Humans thought that they needed to find a way to protect their species and decided to create something to help them fight off any enemies they could encounter. The swordsman's wife was one of the most intelligent engineers that existed at the time, and the alien had trusted the couple so much he allowed them to study his equipment and artifacts. But he did not know about the project that the government had going on.
While studying one of the many artifacts that the alien had, the swordsman's wife found a small microchip that caught her attention. Almost all the technology that the alien had was completely useless to them because it was made out of the same atomic and quantum materials as the alien. But this microchip was silicone based, made from matter similar to the quantum computers that the space stations used. And after some time, the woman found out how it worked and what it was.
Running to her husband, the woman showed him a tablet, and on it a very complex set of data. The swordsman asked what it was, and the woman explained how it could possibly be the answer to what they needed to complete a multiplanetary system that could ensure the safety of all human kind. The man smiled at the thought that soon, he could be at peace knowing that his son would have a safe place to grow up in. Now, they just needed to finish their mission. All was promising, and all the tests that the couple ran where a success. Now all that was left was for them to activate the whole security system at the inauguration of the new spacial citadel. It was the biggest most complete facility that humans had created, and the only thing left to send from Earth to the citadel was a cargo ship filled with Earth fauna and flora.
The celebration was massive, many scientists and professionals along with their families attended. Even the alien was there with the very young boy. It was now time for the ceremony. The swordsman and the woman where on stage, so the alien picked up the boy so he could see his parents better. The alien though it would be better if they floated so he gave a special suit to the boy in the form of a small coin and explained how to activate it to the boy. The boy did just as he was told and both began to float. The boy was very excited, now that he could see his parents on his own.
"It is with great pleasure that we announce the last line of defense!" announced a govermental official. As the alien looked closely at a weird energy signal coming from behind the stage. "The new protectors of humanity, and our new friends and allies of peace!"
Said the govermental official as he pressed a button as a massive outburst of energy surged from the stage.
The alien began to glow very brightly as he took his staff and pointed it at the things that shoot out from behind the stage and he yelled at the young boy "GO WITH THE CUTTLESHIP NOW!!!"
The boy's suit flew him quickly to an alien ship that looked like a cuttlefish and the ship took off in to space. The alien shouted a sonic blast of energy at the things that where all swarming him
**"ANDROIDS!"** and began to hit them at high speeds with his staff. One by one as they also attacked humans that where running for their lives. The beams that the androids shot turned the humans in to animals and plants as the alien tried to fight them all off. The swordsman and the woman joined the alien in the fight. But it seemed that they would be overpowered by the androids.
"Wait, So that's what happened that day? Thats why everyone is an animal or a plant?" asked the youngling in tears."Yes, I'm sorry kid, we tried our best. But some how, the androids managed to turn almost everyone in to weird creatures. No offence" said the alien looking at the duck with rizz
"Non taken" said the duck with rizz
"Wait but I wasn't there, I turned in to a deer hybrid one night while looking at a meteor shower after some rains." said the cyborg
"Yeah, to destroy all the remains of the androids that we managed to destroy I took them all to the outer atmosphere and threw them in to completely burn them. Little did I know it would have that effect on the planet." said the alien face palming.
"So what happened with my parents? Are they alive?" asked the youngling
"Well, technically yes" Said the alien
"What do you mean?" asked the youngling
"They are on the moon, in a cryogenic facility, they where badly injured, but some friends of mine are coming to help. But it will take a while before they are all better and we manage to restore humans to their normal forms. But now you all need to listen to me" said the alien in a more serious tone. "This dance we are going to is going to have many friends of mine, from other worlds and this one. All of you have the potential to help me stop the androids that are heading here... here is the plan."
