Intro to: Nuclear Winter
It was a bright and wonderful autumn day when it all began. Millions around the world hadn't a reason to worry of anything. Children care free and playing with one another! The world was finally in peace after is seventh world war. A treaty amongst every country had been signed uniting them under a council of leaders who would together decide the good of the world. Space travel, lasers, and cures for the once thought incurable diseases had finally been achieved! Contact with alien life had been established and peace had been secured. Everything in the world seemed as if it had finally gone right. All thoughts of the apocalypse had been erased from existence, and only the thought of what technology would be next remained!
Years passed and peace stayed as a constant till one day a crazed race of aliens had finally reached the age of nuclear development. They were part of the alliance that had been formed with the humans and many other aliens, though they often thought differently than the others. Not quite believing that peace would or perhaps should last. Their government had created a small group of, what the humans would call, terrorists that had been commanded to surgically attack every colony with their new nuclear weapons, and since nuclear technology had all but been erased from all civilizations in the alliance there was no real way to know what they were by now. Peace had made the universe lax and unmoved by the thought of war. Each terrorist easily reached their targets and had set their weapons to detonate once enough had been linked to send a planet into a nuclear winter. They had no intention of completely whipping the planets from the face of the universe, just the shake it and teach everyone war was still real and very possible.
After months of planning and easy construction of each weapon they finally detonated each of the devastation weapons causing many of the life sustaining planets fall under nuclear winter and heavy fall out. It wasn't long till the leaders of the species that had committed this horrid crime against life itself were confronted, and all of them denied any knowledge of the terrorists. There was no proof they had been involved and no possible way to prove it otherwise. After the incident most civilizations had become wary of the others and started to drift apart. War yet again had become more possible than ever. Civilizations began researching war technology again and started to move outward to colonize other livable planets. The others had been left to die by themselves. Earth was one of these left behind by their original inhabitants. There were no signs of life, no possible way anything had lived through the devastation. Though after thousands of years the planets had begun to redevelop till they were once again livable, and those who cared nothing of the wars ventured out to these planets to find salvation and a new life. One race of alien had found Earth alone and colonized it for their selves. Their race, unlike many others, evolved rapidly and under earths current conditions had seemed to take on forms that were human like while having many traits of the creatures that once lived their.
They had partially repaired what was left of the civilization and started to redevelop technology so they could survive. As years moved on and on the planet had become a place for many outlaws, bounty hunters, and mercenaries to reside as well as many whom only wished to survive without the thought of war. Out of all these there was one child who had lost his home to outlaws as well as his parents. His name was Cruzo Ortino. Cruzo had been forced to live off his own abilities though he was only 15 years of age. He had become a worker boy for a man who made armor for the fighters that came to the planet. He learned to craft with leather, steel, and many other materials that were often brought from off world. Along with learning how to do this he had also learned how to repair many weapons and whilst speaking with many of the off world bounty hunters and mercs he learned many skills that could one day save his life. One man he had grown quite close to. He was a frequent visitor and often needed his equipment repaired, and often he would tip with quite a bit more than was necessary.
One day while repairing some broken armor of a outlaw the bounty hunter had come to claim him, though like most this outlaw didn't quite like the idea of being turned in for his crimes so he took hold of Cruzo and held him at gun point while forcing the bounty hunter back. This was the moment that Cruzo?s life changed; his dear friend pulled his pistol up without hesitation and fired at the man behind Cruzo. As the shot hit them man dead in the head it had also sliced through Cruzo's right eye. He had been freed from his captor but now was partially blind. The man took the body of the outlaw and while dragging it away told Cruzo to not expect to live again if this situation were to ever arise again, only because they were friends he lived this time. Cruzo took his words to heart and decided that he would no longer get close to anyone again. End... If everyone likes this story I'll continue it. Enjoy.
