24 Down, 1 To Go

Prologue

There had been too much destruction, too much fighting, too much killing. It was time to put an end to this. He came from behind me with a huge SMASH! I went flying into the wreckage of a shot down gunship, as I pushed away the debris that had landed on my chest he flew towards me again, I jumped down and he smashes through the wreck and through the hanger wall into a maintainence walkway. I got up, this was my second last chance to kill him, I picked up my sword and my rifle and charged through the hole and chased him through the maintainence walkways.

I looked around and I couldn't see him, then suddenly PEW! A bolt from his rifle wizzed pass my ear, it came from him on the next level of walkways, I jumped up onto the walkway and followed him. I pulled out my rifle and emptied the clip but only hitting air, he had dodged every shot and sliced my gun in half. If that was not going to work then I guess its up to the old fashioned method, I pulled my sword and collided it with his. He pulled out his gun to try and hit me again but only to find it kicked out of his hand and slid off the walkway.

We exchanged hits with our swords, back and forth, chasing each other through different parts of the spaceship untill we reached the engine room, a huge empty space with one walkway and a nuclear collumn for powering the rockets of the ship. We walked down the narrow path, exchanging hits and kicks, punches and swings from our swords, we both started to get tired but as quick as the confrontation started he grabbed my shoulder, spun me around and put his blade through my heart, I only had seconds left to live with the fatal words I would never forget

"Twenty four down, one to go" as he watched my lifeless body fall down into an abyss that was the emptiness of the engine room.

Chapter 1: First Contact

*BEEP BEEP BEEP* my alarm clock's piercing screech woke me up at 6:30 am so I could get ready for school in time for the bus to come. I looked in the kitchen, there was no bread or cereal so I just had a hot chocolate before getting dressed and packing my bag then I left for school.

When I arrived at school it was still pretty early but I heard some of the nerdy guys talking about some alien ship spotted outside Saturn's moon Titan, I'm the kinda guy who would look into it, so I did. I didn't have to look hard, it was everywhere, all over the news, talk shows, the internet, it was really big stuff. Throughout the day this was the topic everyone was talking about, but nothing did they know about the true intentions of that ship behind Titan.

About mid day I had another look at some websites about the mysterious ship to find they had officically released some pictures of it, this was amazing, Earths first contact with alien life! I was so excited to see the pictures, untill I did. I slammed the ipad down and I jumped out of my chair, the ship was an Arractic scout vessel, probably looking for me and if we have found it, it has found me.

Arractics will kill any human they see, I bet they are only waiting for rienforcements before they decimate the planet, this gave us time to prepare.

My friend Max had been watching my little panic attack for about five minutes now, I finally got my shit together and tried to decide what to do, we have no knowledge of Arractics so they can just trick us into thinking they come in peace then attack us when we least expect it.

"We have to warn the UN, we may only have a few days, or hours". I said to Max

"We can't just tell them that, we will never believe us!"

"I'll find a way.... Hopefully".

Over my past lives I have gained alot of general knowledge, I tapped into a phone call from The White House to The UN Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. Before I interupted the call I heard the US President saying they had their nuclear weapons, army, navy, air force and drone fleet on standby, this was bad considering if they destroy the scout ship the Arractic fleet will come at us with no mercy, but good because we were ready for an assault.

"Gentlemen sorry to interupt you but that ship behind Titan is NOT going to come in peace, it's an Arractic scout vessel and all its doing is checking us out before it brings a whole fleet to whipe us out!" I shouted into the phone. "Just call of all negotiations and prepare for an attack, believe me we will all die if you do not listen to me."

"Sorry.... Whoever you are but you sound like you are eight years old and how would you know anything? This is Earths first contact with alien life and this they can help us with so much, unlimited energy, world peace and cure to all sickness. We have taken all precautions incase negotiations fail." Replied a speaker on the UN line.

"Everything you have will not be enough believe me if they wanted too they would just blow the planet in two, but this is a scout ship not a corical bomb-" I was cut off when the teacher turned on the TV tuned into the ABC to cover the event.... Just like every other tv studio. "Whats going on!?" I yelled into the phone again.

"Your too late", then the line went dead.

As I looked up to the TV I saw the ship landing in the Arizona Desert with thousands of spectators with what appered about 100 of the world leaders. The ship was about as large as the Titanic
