Attack of the Wolbidens
Attack of the Wolbidens
Chapter 1
It is December 19, 3040 the day starts out like every other day. After getting out of bed and saying the usual good mornings to my family and eating a small bowl, I headed outside to see two of my friends just two blocks down. In my gut I had an odd feeling that today would turn out differently then any other casual day would have been. After I caught up to my friends, we started to head toward school.
As we entered the front double doors of Joshwick High
School we walked to our homeroom class together. We were just about to sit down when the announcement came on telling how the schedule for the day would go since it was the last day of school, and with the announcement about all seventeen year olds should enlist in the elite program for E.D.F. or Earth Defense Force. Soon after that it just reminded the three of us that our seventeenth birthdays were during the Spring Break. So after the homeroom bell rings for all to go to first period the three of us decided to enlist for the E.D.F. which starts in four days.
Later in the afternoon about two minutes after the last bell for all to leave school we were near the school exit. When we where tackled by three E.D.F. officials. We were drug to the front office and where told we were skipping the program and where being sent to the second D team, we were to be prepared to go to the frontline if needed but before we were to go there we were to be sent to the spawn core for regulated and advanced training to prepare us to fight Wolbidens. The head sergeant told us to head home say our goodbyes and all the others odds and ends done before the time limit of twenty minutes. We were running home as quickly as we could but still slow enough to ask what did we need? We looked at each other with blank looks. So with that I went into my house on my way up the stairs my parents wanted to know what was happening so I gave them a short but brief notification.
After that I went up stairs and got all the stuff I thought would be needed four t-shirts, pants, shorts, and socks and when I was done with that I sprinted downstairs but before I got the door opened my mom stopped me, she said that we want you to have something. After a moment of thought I gave a stunned look back to her. She pulled me with her to the back of our house as we reached her destination to my shock I was surrounded by my older siblings and both parents with tears in their eyes they gave hand shakes and hugs after that I was out the door. When I got out the door, I took off in a dead sprint with all my packed goods in a bag all in one hand heading back to school to meet with the rest of the recruits to my surprise there were only four of us two of my friends me and one new girl.
We were all loaded onto one single bus, with that done
we were on our way to the Spawn base which we didn't know where it was located. We were on the bus when the higher ranked officers stood up on the bus as three F-22 Raptors streaked overhead. He told us he had a feeling that war would start ahead of plan. The road trip lasted through 3 days we were in five group of four. In our group the four of us decided to share our names Ben, Garret, and my name is Zack we were talking about our backgrounds of our families Ben's background was upper-middle class, Chris's is lowermiddle class, Garret's is upper-middle class, and mine is the same as Ben's and Garret's.
After those few days of constant travel we have arrived at our destination every were we looked there was nothing in plain view. As everyone was talking Ben spoke
"Great, anybody afraid of small spaces?"
After everyone had settled down there was a soft squeaking sound then it grew louder until all of the new recruits were on the ground holding our ears after a few Mila-seconds then everyone got up to their feet as the ground started to move when one of the recruits spoke
"What in Moby Dicks blow hole is going on?"
The girl we met on the bus to our surprise wasn't with the group, any of them actually. After the three minute ride from the ground level to the fourth floor downward we were told to go into a completely blinding room where we were sprayed down with hoses to disinfect us new recruits.
The first day of our training began with roll call, bunk inspection, and all the other mumbo jumbo stuff authorized by the higher ups. We were separated into four person teams for different combat training with intelligence, weapons, and other tools needed for this field of work. Our classes was taught by Sgt. Markus he sounded like he wasn't interesting in any recruits but he was very serious when he says something, when every class is done we take a three minute passing time to get to our other classes, after our main classes are done we are to report to the gym facility which to physically prepare us for the fight ahead.
On the second day of our scheduled course of intelligence class we were showed the pictures they had taken of our enemies and of their planet. We were told to find out what they were up to and why. After hours of studying the Intel and the pictures it looked like they were preparing for something in one of the pictures it looked like there was weird buildings which were actually interstellar ships. After the class ended we went to the weapons room for combat training with the latest upgrades when Capt. John T. Well came in when nobody had even noticed except Garret and I. before we could get fully into our training Sgt. Markus had interrupted our session and told us that we were being shipped out away ahead of schedule when Chris said
"What the hell we don't know what the weapons are like and wouldn't it take days to get there?"
Sgt. Markus just said "Go with the flow and don't get killed kid."
Chris and the rest of us just stood there in complete shock.
We were to ship out at twenty hundred hours on the ship nicknamed Hunter. Within two hours all crews were rushed and ready to fight or die for their planet. On the way into the battle zone we were each given separate missions the three of my friends and me were each put into different teams. Ben with some excitement said
"This is going to be fun".
One of our fellow comrades said "When we make it back drinks on me."
With a little encouragement every one of our comrades made a shake on it after our mission. Ben, Chris, Garret and I made a bet who ever gets the most kills gets a free pizza from
the other three incase of a tie it would be cancelled.
After the travel to our targeted destination we were to be air dropped on top of a building on the Zyron in the more central location where the war is supposed to begin in a short time. We were all gathered into the central lobby to go over our strategy one last time. When the briefing ended
the master Sgt. told a speech about our enemies and that among the enemy we were to watch for enemies with certain weapons and we were to capture and detain if possible. As time grew thinner we were to head out till one of our messengers came in as we were all in our groups getting to know each other, before the master Sgt. could say anything we heard a whistling sound as soon as it seemed to have stopped the roof started to fall in on itself and we all scattered into our groups and the war had started. My group was to be centered in the north, Ben's to the south, Garret's to the west, and Chris's to the east. My squad headed out to mount an assault against the enemy forces of the Wolbidens.
We marched on through the wooded part of the planet through the forest nicknamed the Forest of Death. The day had turned to night and we had decided to take time to set up camp and gather around the fire to share stories and talk about ourselves we were about to turn in for the night when we were told to hit the ground, everyone was on the ground when just in front of me about twenty feet or so and a few feet from the commander was a round glowing object that started to beep then it exploded near the commander. We hurried to check on him and get him aid, his skin was burned his legs were blown off at the knees his left arm looked like it had gone through a meat grinder and he was screaming in pain. He told us to put him out of his misery. We told him were going to do what we could to help him. I helped move him over to a tree while the rest of the team covered us. As I tried to make him as comfortable as possible he said
"Zack when I die you'll be squad leader."
I told him to hold on that we will make it.
After an hour had passed the commander hadn't said a word we knew he had died and I took command. When I took command, I decided to move the camp to a nearby ridge. At the moment we got there I told the men to make a barrier about fifty yards out from the edge and to have every one three feet from each other. The night had grown silent and we all took shifts to keep lookout while we took a short rest.
After a few hours rest I had decided to take my turn of the watch duty and I kept myself up by checking the perimeter. When the sun had started to rise about five hours after I had started my shift I decided to wake the troops up and had all the gear packed up and leave no trace of ever being there. We went to search for the enemy thinking we had the upper hand, when we spotted the enemies women and children separate from the males and decided to take the while we still had the advantage, we took them one by one as "bargaining chips". After we had taken them all we took them back to the main base and put them in a containment room big enough to store 400 elephants inside. I had asked what happened to Ben, Garret, and Chris the fifth commander said that they were on their way back for re-supply and to drop of P.O.W.s, as I had just done. They were to arrive around four hours later so I decided that my men deserved a rest.
After a few hours had past all three of them had arrived and put their prisoners with the rest of them. Ben, Chris, Garret, and I had decided to get together and talk about how our little tales of war had gone; Chris had taken the enemy from behind, Garret split them into groups and took them one at a time, and Ben from above in the trees.
