What about this one?

What do you think of this story? 2034

The year is 2034 and human technology has rapidly advanced over the past 30 years. The substance called photon, a group of molecules fused together to create any substance. But now a shadow looms over the light of humanity. For our existence will soon be threatened.


Impact

In the deserts of Africa a strange light glittered in the night sky as people gathered to see this phenomenon. The blue and purple burning star appeared to be getting larger when suddenly, it was clear that it was plummeting to Earth! The ball of fire came crashing down onto the cold sand. The next day, a team of military and government gathered to excavate what was thought to be a meteor. But it was something far worse. A ship. A small ship containing five life forms, four of which were heavily armed with blades and plasma weaponry. But the fifth was dressed in bright stones and jewellery. The bodies were taken to a facility where autopsies were conducted on them. But when they got to the last body. It started showing signs on life. Suddenly, the beasts eyes opened and it leapt fifteen feet across the room where blocked the door and it started looking at the surgeons as if examining them. The alien leapt at the first two doctors, pinning them to the ground and throwing their organs and limbs across the room. The other surgeon ran to the door, but the alien ran across the wall and stepped in front of him and then knocked him to the ground. Soldiers burst open the door and saw the room filled with smoke and blood. They stepped through the smoke and saw the alien let out a high pitched scream and leapt at the soldiers. They opened fire and the alien fell to the ground, then it opened something on it’s wrist and cried what was supposedly the creature laughing. The soldiers shot it again and killed it. Then they found a surgeon with a hole in his back.

Gruesome discoveries

“He appears to be infected.” Said a scientist. “What so this creature stabs an animal and infects it? ” Said a soldier. “That is correct.” Said the scientist. “The creatures sap which is injected through this tendril mutates the d.n.a.” “Do you know how serious this is?” “This sap does not go away.” “It’s like aids.” “It goes from host to host, infecting everyone, and if this gets out, it could mean the assimilation of the entire human race!”
Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout the world, an alien fleet was descending upon earth, the alien had sent a distress call. The world was thrown into a state of panic when the fleet landed millions of troops onto earth. The alien army swept across the continents, killing and infecting thousands. Then the survivors fled the city’s and went to bomb shelters, bunkers or even submarines.

Aftermath

“It appears the passenger in the ship was the alien prince.” Said one of the world leaders. The world leaders held a meeting on the best course of retaliation. “there is no option.” Said another. “We must search for a new home, I suggest we start a colony on mars, they will not chase us.” “How do you suppose to do this?” Said the first leader. “Well we have developed a craft of enormous space travel ability, the T65 Pilgrim. It can scout to far regions of the galaxy using technology from alien fighters that we shot down in the previous battle.” Said the other leader. “And the best part is, we already have a crew.” Twelve people stepped into the hall. “Everyone meet the crew of the pilgrim!” “Hasten the pilot, Morgan the captain, Palette, Opin, gustet and gustet, sanden, kil, butol, detrog, fale and gristok.” “So are you ready?” “To mars!” They all called

Pilgrimage

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 “We have lift off!” The pilgrim launched on a course for mars and hundreds of people cheered as the pilgrim climbed into the sky. “Okay then.” Said Hasten. “Everyone wearing their seatbelts?” “Now that we are out of the atmosphere I don’t suppose we need them anymore.” Said Opin. “That depends on Hastens pilot skills.” Said Gustet junior. “Probably get out of the atmosphere and overload the engines and explode.” “Quiet down.” Said Hasten. “I’m detecting an enormous energy disturbance ahead of us, it’s some kind of e.m.p. wave. Suddenly before they could act, a green shockwave hit the ship and sent it out of control. The ship then flew into a ball of green light that vanished with a bang! Then on the other side of the galaxy, the green light appeared and the pilgrim was thrown out of it and it went spinning towards a nearby planet.

As they entered the planet’s atmosphere, the ship began to lose hull integrity and the communication tower broke off. “Shit.”
Said Morgan. “Without the radio we can’t contact earth!” They came to an island where they attempted a landing, they skidded across the beach but they hit a rock and snapped off the landing gear. They then slowed to a stop on the beach. The doors opened and the crew climbed out to see the wreckage of earth’s last hope. “**** **** ****!” Shouted Kil. “What are we gonna do now?” “This is bullshit, without the radio or power module we’re stranded here!” “Okay lets just calm down.” Said Opin. “All that’s missing is two things, so lets repair the landing gear and we can go after the other parts. Sanden loaded up the ship’s computer. “Alright mates.” Sanden said. “This is a scan of the planet.” Sanden brought up a hologram of the planet with detailed mappings. “This planet used to be a research facility for the alien race, and from what I can see some of them were left behind when they abandoned it.” “And their appears to be one huge super continent.” “If this planet was earth it would be 163 million B.C.” “The power module is on this island but the radio tower is on the continent.” “Get the weapons from the ship.” Said Morgan. “Flare guns, trip mines, machine gun mounts, get everything!” The crew clambered into the ship and brought out all their equipment. “The ship seems to be in good condition.” Said Butol. “Now let’s see what’s waiting for us in the shadows.”

S833R

Sanden loaded up the computer data into a portable device and everyone loaded up their guns. “Lets see what we have here.” Said Morgan. “Machine guns, photon shotguns, samurai swords, rocket launchers, flares, mines, grenades, pistols, plasma cannons, particle accelerator, four earth shaker missiles and an earthquake cannon.” “Where did we get this stuff?” “Well command thought we might need a few extras in case of emergency.” Said Detrog. “Extras?” Said Morgan. “There’s enough to run a small bloody war in here!” They all ran into the jungle where they encountered a small group of bear like creatures and alien dinosaurs, but nothing of real threat. “At least we have some dinner.” Said Fale as he took off the last raptor’s head with a sword. “Take a look at this!” Said Gristok.
They had found a camp of primitive people. “Are they dangerous?” Said Gustet senior. “Doesn’t look like it.” Said Hasten. They put away their weapons and approached the camp. The alien tribesmen walked up to them and started speaking. Sanden translated their speech which said, “Greetings light and dark skins.” “You are the ones that the Tutorians speak of.” “We will join you if it means the destruction of the Tutorians.” “I get it now!” Said Sanden. “That energy disturbance was a gateway that the Tutorians used as a shortcut to get here, we just happened to activate it because of their technology inside our ship!”
