#1 of End of an Era


End of an Era by Shetland repaired by Raven Fox: Earth gets attacked by an unknown race and gets sold. A bunch of humans want to stay on their planet even tho races of anthros are living on Earth. One human male moves around to avoid eviction, but he gets captured and given a choice. (This was a story I scrapped years ago, but my friend Raven Fox talked me into giving to him so he can fix and finish it. SHETLANDJ)

Everett Washington at a rural area.

Simon wiped his brow as he disassembled the dash of his 1984 GMC truck. A few months ago the dash wiring of the truck caught on fire burning up the main wiring harness and fuse box. He removed the screws on the instrument cluster carefully removing it so he can unplug the gauges and disconnect the speedometer cable. The thirty year old human with light brown hair with hazel eyes examined the burnt harness noting that twelve volt positive main wire insulation was rubbed off causing the fire.

"I can't believe that my cousin Denis did a jury rigged ignition switch, all what he had to do was go to Auto-zone for a replacement switch." The human grumbled to himself as he removed the wiring harness.

One week later, Simon's trailer.

Simon connected the battery and got in the cab of the gray colored truck. Turning the key in the column from the 1985 Chevy truck, the human watched as the gauges cycled and the 350 V-8 engine turn over. He pressed the accelerator and pulled on the manual choke. A deep rumble came from the engine compartment as it caught.

Thru the steering wheel, Simon felt the vibration of the engine. Grinning, the human put the gear selector into drive. He took a quick glance of the gauges and drove down the street turning on the radio.

A few weeks later at a camping site.

At the campsite Simon tended the fire watching the embers floating up in the night sky. He looked at the clear summer night sky looking at the stars. Something caught his attention, light blue streaks streaked by in the sky. The human watched as hundreds of the light blue streaks pass in his line of vision.

He stomped the fire out and threw his tent in the bed of his truck. The starter whined as he tried to start the cold engine. Cussing, Simon pulled the choke knowing that he spent the last couple days hiking the area. "Just like the Millennium Falcon on the ice planet Hoth in the Empire strikes back." The human thought to himself hearing the engine catch with its occupying raw fuel smell. "I just love the smell of 91 octane at night." Simon said as he drove to see what's going on.

A few hours later looking at the Puget Sound.

Cold fear gripped his chest as he saw what is going on at Seattle. Five large shapes hovered at parts of the town sucking up dust clouds. The human grabbed a pair of binoculars looking at the clouds, his insides chilled as he saw thousands of people get sucked up in the shapes as the mysterious things moved around the city.

A roaring sound got his attention as fighter jets flew by. Missiles streaked to the objects not causing damage to them. Simon shook his head as smaller objects attacked the military fighters, a few got away. A few of the smaller ones exploded when they were attacked by the military fighters. "I know what's going to happen next, so I better get back in the mountains." The human thought to himself as he hiked back to his truck.

When he got to his truck, Simon drove five miles making sure the mountain is between the Puget Sound and his area. Simon disconnected the battery and the wires to the distributor. "I hope the mountain shields me from the fallout." The human thought to himself as he set up his tent.

Simon was right, the next morning he saw a brilliant white flash emanating from the other side of the mountain. Taking no chances, the human drove away five hours later heading east after hooking up the electrical system to his truck. He gambled by pulling the cables off the battery and the wiring to the distributor to see if doing this will protect his system from a EMP. "Well, I count myself lucky that this truck is still operating." He said to himself as drove on.

The next day near Yakama.

In a wooded area watching the town Simon watches as a bunch of figures clad in a one piece black suit wearing a type of BMX helmets walk by. They walked in the town holding a type of pistol in their hands. A Honda Insight drove by his hiding place to go down the freeway. One of the figures fired that pistol.

Simon watched as if some one slammed on the brakes on the Honda. The figure walked to the drivers' door to open it. The driver locked the door, but the figure twisted something on the pistol making the window roll down. He turned away because of the screams from the male driver as he was killed. "Dam, I am glad my truck doesn't have electric windows and ABS brakes." The human thought to himself feeling sorry for the driver of the car.

It wasn't till the next day before Simon decided to drive out of the area he was stuck at. Before leaving town, he filled up both fuel tanks. Simon kept his wits while driving down the freeway.

While driving down the road later on, a very new import sports car passed him. The male driver looked at Simon laughing at the sight of his twenty seven year old truck. His laughter didn't last long as one of the invaders smaller vehicles buzzed the two vehicles. A red light stuck the newer vehicle, the vehicle stalled slowing and the brakes locked up causing it to go out of control.

Simon watched as two of the invaders drag the driver out and they killed him. They tried to fire their pistols at Simons GMC truck, but nothing happened to it. Even that hovering vehicle fired its red beam with no effect. Sighing, the human stopped his truck and loaded his model 1911 45 cal handgun, a gift from his grandfather.

He killed the two invaders and emptied the clip to the hovering vehicle. Sparks shot out of an area and the vehicle flew away.

Simon watched as the vehicle flew off, he walked up to the two bodies to examine them. "What the heck!?" The human whispered as he watched the bodies melt away leaving behind their suits and helmets.

Getting back in his truck, the human started his truck listening to the 350 V-8 rumbles while it idles. He put the gear selector into drive and drove away keeping an eye out for any signs of the invaders.

A day later near Boise Idaho.

Overlooking from a mountainside, Simon looked thru a set binoculars looking at the large city. He picked up a radio station hearing that the nuclear strike was successful, but the remaining missile silos were destroyed. "What about our missile subs?" The human thought to himself.

Right now at the city, military fighter jets were attacking the invader's vehicles. He watched as a squadron of F-18s fired missiles at one of the larger vehicles sucking humans into it.

One of the large vehicles fired a light blue ball in the air; it made a strange sound by making a series of beeps. A larger blue ball fell out of the sky striking the center of the town, but it acted like a nuclear explosion. The town area glowed a bright blue causing Simon to cover his eyes, darkness.

He didn't know how long he was out; opening his eyes he was met with a splitting headache. Rubbing his eyes, the human looked at the area Boise was at. "Shit, the dam city is gone." Simon said looking the large black crater.

While looking at the giant black crater that uses to be a city, something happen in the sky. A section showed a bunch of shapes like a logo and a voice speaking English said. "Attention all Earthlings, your planet was just been sold Galen species. We just defeated the last of your military and just eliminated the last of the governments. Don't know what Earths' new owners are going to do with any surviving humans they find, if there are any of you humans left, your planet is now going to be moved to its new location. Have a nice day." The sky went back to normal.

Rainbow coloring with a white static spark show lit up the sky. It was like being in a crystal being shine with a flashlight. Simon covered his eyes due to the light being bright with the sound of bacon frying. He squinted his eyes shut feeling his way to his truck. After finding his way to his truck to enter it. The human covered his ears smelling the musky smell of the interior, due to that the truck was never restored. "Who is the Galen species?" Simon thought to himself as he passed out.

Unknown time later.

Cramps woke him up due to sleeping in the cab. Opening his eyes the human looked out of the windshield gasping at the sight. "Oh shit, this is not good." He said looking at Earths' new sky.

He saw that the sky has a whiter tint to the blue, plus there are two planets in the sky with the moon with a smaller one. The larger and closer planet is like Earth, but Simon can tell that one planet must be mostly cities. Looking at the smaller one, he saw it must be mostly water because of smaller green parts.

"Noo not again." Simon cussed as objects descended to the surface. He watched as most of the ships came from the larger planet. The human sighed as a few landed in the crater that use to be Boise Idaho. "I am getting out of here."

Going down the freeway, a few hours later.

He drove the length of the freeway keeping an eye out for any trouble. Before he went to Boise, topped off the tanks knowing that the truck wouldn't need fuel for four hundred miles. "What the?"

Chasing the truck is a dark blue BMW 7 series, buy the lines it must be early 1980's. He accelerated bringing the speed to eighty, but the car speeded up. Due to the distance, the driver of the BMW wasn't visible to him. Simon ran thoughts thru his head knowing the best way to deal with that car is to beat it with endurance. "Those cars are tanks, but this truck has more fuel, because if that BMW was recently fueled, I will still outlast him." The human thought to himself.

An hour later, the BMW turned around and headed back to the remains of Boise. Simon grinned. "Nobody has ever built a vehicle that can beat a Chevy." The human chuckled as he drove down the freeway.

A day later, Fort Bridger Wyoming.

He hid his truck at an abandoned ranch. Simon walked a few miles due to activity at the old fort. The place use to be a trading post, but now it's a museum. Being real quiet, the human climb on to the roof of the main building to check to see what's going on. "Alright, who are these Galen species, what the?!" As an anthro wolf walked out of the building.

The male wolf looked at the group of humans standing at the clearing near the building. He noted a few angry looks from some of the older humans. "Alright, my name is Shane and my family paid a fortune for this section of this continent. We will allow you humans to live here, but you half to follow a few rules."

Simon watching the spectacle shook his head. "Bad wording wolf, that's the last thing you want to say to a bunch of hard headed white boys."

A male voice bellowed. "And what if we won't follow your rules? Some of us paid a fortune for our places."

Shane grinned showing his teeth. "Well, the ones who won't listen to us. Will be sent to Washington State. The place that uses to be called the Puget Sound can use some humans to clean the remains of Seattle."

"Well, I am out of here, better head over to Utah." Simon said quietly leaving the area. "Sorry Shane, I am not living at your place." The human avoided the wolves and some felines he saw as he quietly crept back to truck.

Two days later, West of Salt Lake City Utah. At the wrecking yard Pick N' Pull.

Climbing the fence to the yard, Simon looked at the rows of wreck cars. The human jumped on to the ground looking for any signs of the new owners of this area. From what he saw, anthro foxes owned this part of the United States. "Ok, Chevy trucks are at the northeast part of the yard." Simon said to himself walking to the wrecked trucks, he knew this wrecking yard due to that he used to live in Sandy Utah.

Right now, his truck is parked nine miles from the yard. It took the best part of the day to get to the yard due to the foxes being more watchful. The water pump to his truck started leaking real bad starting yesterday. He couldn't go to an auto parts store due to the fact he went to check a few out seeing the foxes already manning the stores.

Simon made a bee-line to a 1981 Chevy ¾ ton 4x4. Opening the hood, the human choose this candidate due to the truck was rolled in an accident with most of the damage to the roof of the cab. He looked at the engine compartment noting that so far the missing part was the carburetor. "Well, this water pump is almost new, but I won't dare take another vehicle because Earth's new owners are at every auto dealership I seen and all vehicles confiscated. But I really like my GMC truck because it saved my life from those what ever those things that sold this planet." Simon thought to himself as he removed the water pump from the wrecked truck.

A set of catlike brown eyes with a cream color mixed in the color watched the human remove a part from the wreck truck. The vixen with brown coloring reach into herself to summon her talent of telekinesis to put an invisible band around the human, but she stopped. "Nah, I need someone to chase. Those dam CEO's that sold us this planet killed too many humans and I find this one interesting. Well Lillian, better hide and wait till the chase starts again." Lillian said to herself getting in a dark blue BMW 7 series that's parked in a stall.

Watching his back, Simon quietly left the wrecking yard walking and ducking in a hiding place. He walks by a row of parking stalls not seeing the dark blue BMW parked in one of the stalls.

Hours later, Simons' hiding place.

Tightening the power steering pump mounting bolts, the human double checked his work before filling the scarce coolant in the cooling system. After topping of the coolant, the human started the truck and double checked the system for leaks.

Hours later while driving down I-15 toward southern Utah. "Dam, who ever that BMW owner is, they're persistent." Simon said to himself seeing a familiar dark blue BMW 7 series chasing his truck. He checked his tanks for the quantity of fuel. "Crap, one tank is quarter full and the other is ¾ and I don't know what engine that car has in it." The human thinks and grins turning off the freeway going down a real rough road.

Lillian stops her car and watches the gray colored truck go down a steep road knowing if she drove down that hill, the bottom of the car would of gotten damaged. The vixen shrugs grabbing a piece of metal the size of a penny. She concentrates and the metal disc goes under the truck. "You can run, but you can't hide from me human. I already decided what to do with you." She says as she gets in her car and drives off.

A day later, I-15 north miles from Ogden.

He decided to head over to Montana, so Simon double checked his fuel quantity knowing that earlier in the day; he fueled at a gas station that he watched for a day making sure that there were no foxes running it. The dark blue BMW hasn't been seen since yesterday, so Simon was keeping an eye out for that car. "I wonder who is driving it. A wolf or one of those foxes or a feline." He thought to himself as he drove down the freeway.

A mile north from Simon.

"Dam, who stole my ride! I really liked that car! Crap, if I get a hold of the individual, I am.....Oh no problem, I'll just catch him right now." Lillian said looking at a device showing a blip going down the freeway near her. "I wonder what it will be like driving that gray vehicle." The vixen muttered to herself getting on the freeway.

Simon saw a fox climb over the guard rail and walked toward his truck. "What is going on?" He asked himself as the fox did a gesture with its arms.

The engine raced and a strange feeling went thru him as the view from the windshield went from the freeway to the sky. His truck rotated so the front is pointing to the ground. Simon shut off the engine as the fox pulled off its hood revealing its gender. "How did she do that?" The human thought to himself as his truck is lowered till its just a few inches off the ground.

Lillian grinned to herself looking at the shock look on the human's face. "Well, I guess he doesn't know what to make of me." She said leveling the truck, but she made sure that the wheels weren't making contact with the freeway.

Simon did an involuntary shudder as the dark brown anthro vixen walked closer to his truck. The drivers' door popped open and he felt a force pulled him out of the truck. His body floated to the vixen standing at the front of the truck.

Brown catlike eyes with a light tan mixed in the coloring looked at him. An invisible band is keeping his limbs from moving. The human looked at the vixen with the petite build looking at him. "How can she do this?" Simon thought to himself looking at the vixen.

A strange feeling went to his scrotum, it felt like a hand massaging his testicles. He looked at the brown vixen with a medium tan front grinning at him. A strange feeling went thru him as he passed out.

Lillian looked at the unconscious human floating near her. The vixen used her talent and moved Simon to the passenger area of the truck. She climbed to the drivers' seat moving the seat forward and started the truck. "Got to get use to this fuel smell." Lillian said to herself wrinkling her muzzle from the fuel smell and the deep rumble coming from the engine compartment.

The vixen put the truck in gear driving it to an exit to make it go south instead of north. Unknown to Simon, the human is going to the smaller of the two planets near the planet Earth. Lillian decided this morning to go back to her home planet because she didn't like the hot climate of Utah, but she's taking a couple of souvenirs back to her home planet.

She strokes Simon's face looking at him. "My feline friend Chell is going to like you human. But she gets you after me." The vixen said with a grin.

The truck pulled to Salt Lake City airport a while later. Lillian went thru the security check point and drove to a heavy shuttle going to her home planet. "Taking a couple of souvenirs back to the home planet?" Inquired the red male fox looking at the unconscious human asleep at the passenger side of the truck.

"Yeah, he's a furry and begged me to go live with me. Such a shame that male foxes are few in numbers and the few don't like my pelt coloring." Lillian said to the guard.

"But it's the telekinesis that intimidates use males, not the pelt coloring." The male fox thought to himself letting the truck pass thru the gate.

The vixen grinned to herself pulling the truck into the large heavy lift shuttle parked near a Airbus 320 being studied by a couple of cheetahs. Lillian waved to the two felines as she parked the truck shutting it off. She looked at the sleeping human again. "Going to have fun with you." The vixen said to Simon and got out of the truck shutting the door.

End of Chapter 1

Sorry it took a while before I posted a new story. I helped a friend change an engine on his truck and did a job seventy miles from my home. Plus I helped someone fix their computer. The next chapter is going to be about Simon waking up at Lillians' homeworld and him being her guest and mate.
