~{{ Above Carlson National Forest }}~
Michael stood silently near the front of the ship watching the wall mounted monitor as it showed the local news. Michael sighed slightly as he placed his arm softly around Verna's shoulders before he shook his head while the news reporter on the screen explained the events and outcome.
" Due to unknown reasons, America has become over run by a parasitic invasion. Scientist have no known origin to where these things come from but due to lack of strength from the worlds military and swiftness of this infestation...The world is issuing a global evacuation of anyone willing and able... and will be relocated to the colony newly built on the moon. May god help us...this is- "
Michael shut off the monitor and moved to the cockpit of the ship looking down at the woods before he placed his hand upon the wall, bowing his head slightly.
"We lost Verna...the war is lost..." he then looked to the side when Verna placed her paw upon his shoulder.
"It's okay...I didn't expect them to evolve so fast...its like...there invincible."
Michael shook his head slowly "Nothing is invincible...there is always a way to kill something...it just has to be found. And we will find it Verna...you an me." he then looked to the woods once more and surveyed the area for a water source before he noticed the pond near the roadside cliff. "Lets take a look over there...I have a feeling something might answer the questions we have." he pointed to the pond, as Verna sat down in the pilot seat and moved to ship over the area.
Slowly the ship set down and the door opened as Michael was the first one to step out, leaving his armor off for now but he had six HE (High Explosive) Grenades hooked to his belt, and holding the CZ 550 HET rifle in his hands while having the AUS12 shotgun strapped behind him. His medium length blonde hair waving slightly from the passing breeze.
Slowly he moved to the waters edge, looking around before he noticed the large barrel laying along the edge. Michael slowly walked around the pond and to the barrel, kneeling down slowly picking up a stick and brushing away the dirt and mud along the label before he uncovered the Bio-hazard logo with the AREA 51 tag.
"Seams like it is true...they got hold of something they shouldn't have and now its here...and lose."
"So this is where it started? Area 51...what's that?"
Michael looked back to Verna who stood behind him, he then stood up slowly while tossing the stick into the water.
"Area 51 is a so-called Government Science, and Weapons facility...but no one knows just for sure if it is really true...well...no one "did" but I guess it is as real as all the rest..." he pointed off to the west slightly "It's located over in New Mexico....near Roswell. They have a large Testing range about fifty to sixty or so miles west of town. But that is all I know."
Verna gave a slight nod and looked around as the hackles on the back of her neck stood on end while she gave a soft growl. "Something's here...watching us. Please...lets get back to the ship?" she looked to him with a soft whimper.
Michael gave a slight nod while loading a round into the chamber of his rifle. Slowly he backed away from the pond, now standing beside Verna as he clicked off the safety.
"I know...there's no sound of nature its too silent. Move slow...I don't want to ruin the chance of getting to the ship with out having to run all over the place okay?"
Verna gave a nod, moving slowly back toward the ship with Michael following slowly behind her, the silence around them haunting and thick before off to the right a high pitched scream sounded, followed by more all around them.
"Ah, shit....looks like we got trouble...RUN!"
They both took off toward the ship in a near full sprint, low hanging branches slapping at them harshly. Soon the ship came into view, before one of the insect like creatures came from the side, sending its scorpion like tail at Verna but soon stopped when a large hole appeared in it. The creature reeled back screaming in pain as Michael stood there with the rifle aimed giving Verna a clean path to the ship while standing his ground, the sound of the rifle filling the air along with the screams of the Flagnights.
One of the insects lunged at him sending its pincer arms at him but instead they clamped down upon a tree branch that was picked up in a time gathering defense, its high range of power causing the thick piece of wood to shatter into splinters. But during that time Michael had managed to make his way past and toward the ship before the HE Grenade he dropped under the creature; exploded in a wall of flames and shrapnel.
Verna met him at the door, holding a large cannon in her arms, hoses connecting different parts together and ended in a short metal barrel. "It's finished!"
She said while handing him the cannon.
Slowly Michael slipped his arm into the sleeve, slowly gripping the handle inside as it locked into place, shrinking down and causing a firm fit along his lower arm.
Michael looked over the cannon slowly, the lights from inside the ship reflecting off the black coating. He then stepped back outside looking around as one by one the Flagnights appeared...he then braced himself as he took aim at the closest one, the barrel soon jetting out longer as energy pulled around it forming a green ball, waves of soft streams of power moved past him forming with the ball on the end of the barrel, before reversing course and becoming faster and bigger as the cannon finished charging in under a second.
"Eat this assholes!" he the pulled the trigger, causing the small ball of energy on the barrel to expand before a large beam of energy streaked out and slammed full force into the mutation, resulting in a large explosion that almost drowned out the scream of the Flagnights.
As the dust settled...it reviled a large trench dug through the ground and what remained of a few of the creatures which was only a few body parts and crimson pools.
"Woah...shit!"
"LETS GO!"
He then turned around and got back on the ship as it lifted up into the air. Making his way to the cockpit he looked out at the horizon seeing countless streams of rockets filling the sky. He then looked over to Verna as she softly placed her paw upon his shoulder.
"What now?"
"We follow them...alone we can't do much. We'll be cut down way before we can end the fight...so we will have to gather up those willing to fight...on both sides hopefully."
Verna gave a soft nod. "I know of a few others this has happened to, I will get a message out to them. What about the human side?"
"They have seen a lot already V...I don't know how they will act to having your kind showing up and such but I'll talk to them...with you by my side." Michael smiled while resting his hand upon her paw. "They will have to kill me to make us part."
"Like wise my mate."
Michael snickered slightly and looked back to the setting sun. "Lets get out of here..."
"Right." she said while sitting down in one of the chairs and piloting the ship into the vacuum of space, as Michael stood next to her while removing the cannon from his arm. He then sat it down next to him while he took his seat beside his lupine lover.
"Verna."
"Yes."
"How long will it take to mass produce these cannons?"
"The Zypher Beta can be re-produced quite easy and quickly...say...three thousand in twenty-four hours. Why?"
Michael slowly looked to her. "Modern weapons have almost no effect against the Flagnights...the Zypher Beta might be our only hope when we come back to take our home once more."
"You plan on Issuing them out to the human army as well?"
He gave a nod. "That's my plan...that is if they take kindly to other worldly presence."
"We can only hope."
"Yeah...we can."
Michael closed his eyes slowly as he leaned back in his seat, resting silently before a beeping on the com lines pulled him to sit up and open his eyes as Verna shrugged.
"It's the Terker High Command. Want me to answer it?"
He gave a nod. "Yeah...we need to talk to them anyways right?"
Verna gave a nod while reaching for the switch. "Yes...but do you think you can handle speaking with them after all we have been through.?"
"Verna, I have been dealing with Insect freaks for the past three days...I can handle talking to a friend of yours." Michael snickered slightly while he got up and dusted off his shirt and pants, and running his fingers through his hair slightly. "Ring Ring Banana Phone." he quipped.
Verna smiled and hit the switch as the com screen lowered down over the window and soon turned on showing the face of a Elderly Hare sitting in a large chair, wearing a black suit, adorned with metals and embroidery. His brown fur lined with gray, and his eyes was a deep green.
"Commander Juval." Verna spoke softly.
"Major Alea. I see you are well... where is your brother?"
Verna sighed softly while lowering her head slightly. "He's dead." she then looked back up slowly. "Sir, the Flagnights have infested the humans planet...the cannon that will destroy the full adult form of the Mutation is finished. I was hoping that with your help, we could mass produce the cannons for both our army and the humans army."
Juval sat there silent for some time before he blinked, leaning forward slightly. "And what gave you this bold idea to let the humans have access to our weapons?" he grinned, nearly on the verge of laughing before his eyes went wide to a second voice.
"That would have been my doing Commander." Michael said softly as he stepped up beside Verna.
"Major, who is this Human.?" Juval asked.
Verna gave a slight smile. "This is Michael, he agreed to help fight off the infestation of the Flagnights, but he wants to incorporate the human army with our own to stand a fighting chance of wining this battle for good."
"Major, do you think that the humans army would help you? To them we are no better than that parasite. They wont help."
Michael shrugged slightly. "I don't doubt there will be questions at first...but I will talk to them...if they will agree; we will have a bigger army...if not...then it'll be just me and Verna."
Juval sat back in his chair slowly while rubbing his chin slightly. "You would be willing to go alone and fight all of the Flagnights on your planet if your own kind didn't agree to help you?"
"I'll do just that." Michael replied while crossing his arms with a nod. Soon Verna stood up and placed her paw upon his shoulder as she cracked a sly grin.
"And I'll be by his side."
Jeval blinked, becoming interested. "Major Alea; why do you show such compassion and willingness to help this human.?"
Verna smiled more, her tail slightly twitching. "Because, he is going to be my life mate."
The commander slowly gave a nod while tapping his fingers against the arm of the chair before speaking once more. "I'll speak with the rest of the council...when we reach a decision we will contact you again and let you know. Good luck Major..." and with that; the com screen went black and raised back up into its hidden alcove. Michael looked to Verna slowly with a smirk.
"Wow...you shocked him I think." Michael smiled softly while petting along the she-wolfs back erecting a murr from her.
"Ah well as they say...rules are made to be broken and bent." she quipped before turning on him, only to wrap her arms around his neck as she placed a soft kiss to his lips. "Lets go rest, then you call the humans..." she looked at him then smiled more when he gave a nod. Moving to the sleeping quarters where she laid the human down softly upon the bed while moving on top, cuddling him close as she gave a slight canine yawn. "Michael."
"Yeah?" he replied softly.
"Are you happy?"
"About what?"
Verna looked at him slowly. "About us."
Michael softly stroked his fingers through her silky smooth head hair, while his other hand rested above the base of her tail. "Verna...even though I lost my home, and the fact I don't know if we will ever get it free again...I am happy...I'll stay with you till the end of time."
Verna murred deeply as she cuddled closer, resting her muzzle just under his chin. "So am I my love...so am I." she whispered softly before she fell into a soft peaceful sleep.
Michel laid there watching her sleep before he closed his eyes, falling asleep shortly after, content.
What laid ahead of them would put there love to the true test, something that would change them far more than thought..
Meanwhile a large unknown ship floated slowly toward the earth, inside groups of Flagnights moved about the ship with great speed, preparing there invasion...millions of landing pods were loaded and sent to the surface.
A dark figure watched it all from a monitor before speaking, its voice slightly high pitched but more gruff.
"The world is ours...and soon, the entire universe." soon the figure started laughing evilly as more and more landing pods were launched.
