Aliens
Posted Mar 18 2006
The aliens invaded our home planet twenty-seven years ago. We had no idea why they came, or what they wanted. The day their ships came, we greeted them with kindness. They seemed to have kind intentions too. However, one day one of their species assassinated our leader during a meeting between our races. All hell broke loose from that moment on. They blocked every entrance in the conference room, and fired upon us. We were defenseless against their weapons. One by one they killed us in that room, but I managed to escape through a vent in a corner. I rushed out of the building, and teleported back to my living quarters.
Soon the word broke out. Everyone knew about the massacre, and everyone was frightened for their lives. I was not afraid. I wanted revenge. These savages, these monsters, these hideous things invaded our safe planet, and were attempting to ruin it. I vowed to do everything in my

The commander was waiting for us. We lined up, and awaited his orders.
“The aliens have managed to amount another attack on this sector.
We must defend the river at all costs. If they manage to take control

I went with the first unit and jumped into a hovercraft. We each zipped out of the base, ready for battle. Among our departure, we were immediately under fire. My hovercraft was hit grazed by a missile, so I was forced to eject. I skillfully landed behind a
