The Zorgath aliens are a race of alien who's primary goal is to take over Earth and every planet that dares to go in its' path. 

A calm night in upstate Montana. A small family of five start having dinner. A father, mother, two sisters in high school, and a small brother who is only four are sat around the table eating a home cooked meal. The small boy finishes his food first. He stands up and looks at his mother.
"Mama," he asks "can I go outside to play for a little bit?". His mother looks at him.
"Only for five minutes, Nathaniel and then straight to bed." his mother replies with a stern tone. Nathaniel smiles a huge smile and dashes to the back door. The door slides open and he goes to his tree house. After those five minutes were up, he began to climb down. As he did, something caught his eye. Something shiny in the sky. He looks up and a blinding beam of light appears. Gravity seems nonexistent where the beam was hitting because Nathaniel starts to float towards the thing. 
"Mommy!" he screams. Everyone starts to run outside and they all start to scream in fear. His dad runs under Nathaniel and tries to grab his foot. He got a firm grip but alas, the beam of light seems to continue to take their son away from them. When Nathaniel was nowhere to be seen, the light vanishes and all that was left was silence and a distraught family. All Nathaniel saw after was nothing. 

Nathaniel's vision starts to come back. A faint voice could be heard saying "Get him ready for~" and then nothing. He starts coming back again. This time he's more alert. He looks around and sees these humanoid creatures in lab coats. They seem to notice Nathaniel looking at them and they jump in surprise. One of them rushes in front of him and shines a light in his eyes. 

"Vitals are normal and in good condition. Prep him for cryostasis." one of them commands. Nathaniel starts freaking out. A machine floats besides him and picks him up. 

"Hey! Let me go!" Nathaniel demands. The machine doesn't obey him and takes him to a room where he is then changed in a jumpsuit and disinfected.  Nathaniel sits in the corner of the room and starts shaking. Wishing he was home, wishing this was all a bad dream. Another one of the creatures comes in and grabs him. Nathaniel tries to get away but the things' grip was too firm. As they pass by various rooms, Nathaniel observes anything he could. 

"Zzzorgathh?" he reads off of a hologram. The creature nods. 
"We are Zorgath" his voice was deep and slightly echoy. He leads Nathaniel to a lab. Other Zorgath scientists crowd around and the first one hands Nathaniel to them. They lead him to a pod and have him sit. Nathaniel sits in the pod and as he does metal cuffs shut on his wrists and ankles. He struggles to get them out. The pod closes and the temperature starts to drop. Nathaniel could hear chatter from outside the pod and after a few moments there was nothing. 

The Zorgath scientists look at the pod that is now frozen. They report to their leader.

"It is done, sir." one of them says. A tall figure turns to them.

"Good, get away from this planet to avoid detection. We've got work to do" the leader orders. They salute and the ship goes out of the orbit of Earth to another galaxy.
