Extinction: The Real Enemy

Chapter 1

I opened my eyes slowly to see explosions all around me. We were under attack.....those wretched aliens. I raise my self up painfully with my numb, exhausted hands and my knees.

Crawling with uttermost difficulty after being stunned by an explosion, I start looking for her amongst all the rubble. I was supposed to protect her with my life....I promised I would. I would not be able to live with myself if I wasn't able to keep that promise.

Pulling and digging through all the debris with my scraped bloody fingers, I finally see her lying unconscious on the ground about 10 metres away.

I rise to a crouch and move towards her with caution over the black scorched ground littered with bodies of my people and their people alike.

She lay silently atop and among the rubble as I approach her. I feel bile rising in my throat as I stare at her beautiful bruised face and her burnt body. I pick her head gently.....searching for signs of life.

I sigh with relief as she opens her eyes slightly and coughs. "Don't say anything....just lay silent ,please." I whisper with a lump in my throat as I look on at her meek painfully forced smile.

I lift my head and see aircrafts coursing in all directions with gunfire drowning the silence that once existed on this peaceful inhabitance.

*BOOM*-Taken off guard by an explosion, I fall backwards and hit my head. The pain is unbearable and searing through my head all the way down to my toes. I turn my head and slowly drag my almost completely numb arm in her direction.......and she does the same. Then I black out.....

A bright light pierces through my eyelids waking me up. I cringe as my eyes readjust themselves. Looking around, I realize that I am surrounded by them. Ugly things....weak and annoying yet so dangerous. From my training experience, I observe my surroundings and those within it very closely, making mental notes.

They all wore white robes and occasionally one would say something to another one. We seemed to be in a moderate sized room. (And also I was literally bound so I can't move ). The room had a dull color, one they call grey in their language.

It seemed to have some kind of equipment I was unfamiliar with....types I had never laid eyes on. And I have been to different parts of the "Gail"( galaxy).

I switch my attention to the creatures running up and down all around me, swiping and tapping away at what seemed like metal touch pads. I hated these creatures ,bare skinned and sly. I wonder why the council even let them into our atmosphere.

After observing my reactions to various experimental procedures, they left me in the room alone. As much as I wanted to break my bonds and kill those pests I couldn't. I was weaker than ever. They had made me their lab rat.

I lost track of time and they kept coming back to torture me. The only thing that kept me was my thoughts of her and the tubes plugged in various parts of my hardened body.

I faded into a semiconscious state, drifting between the real world and a world of dreams. I overheard that there was a female in the experimental premises. And that there was a war on the outside about some kind of resistance group.

Drifting slowly into a deeper sleep, I knew without doubt that it was her. And I would find her.

Today seemed different because it looked like they were preparing to leave this place or something. I only later realized that I was the one they were moving. To another facility probably.

My straps were released for some strange reason and new stronger ones were placed on me. I was dragged out despite my large size. Led through a door that seemed to have merged with the wall. One of the aliens passed some weird flat material over some kind of scanner which made a sound, opening the door.

We entered into a white tunnel. The whole tunnel was white and stretched as long as I could perceive. They made their way straight forward as I trailed behind them weakly bound by neck, hands,waist and legs. We passed a few junctions and doorways.

As we were about to turn at a right after going about 50metres from where we started, the alarms went off. It was sickening and deafening. They let go of me in confusion and started speaking into some communication device on their wrists.

For some unknown reason there was an explosion some distance beyond where we were standing. The "escorts" reached for their weapons at their sides and went on alert.

Apparently they had forgotten about me. I broke my bonds and threw it around the neck of my closest escort and flinged him towards the ceiling staining it with blood. Turning quickly with a spinning Ptae kick I bring down the other escort.

Now aware of my sudden attack, the other two escorts turned their attention, and their weapons, at me.
I throw the body of one of the escorts at them and grab the other dead one's weapon since it was closer.

With skillful well trained clicks, the escorts are sent to meet their ancestors. I search them for anything useful.

Now all I need to do is find her.
