"Dollies!" yelled the giant 6 year old girl. The girl went out to grab her favorite toy; Julia. "Oh Jesus not again!" she yelled. The woman struggled in the girl's iron grip. "Put her down you giant fucking brat!" Rogers yelled taking aim at the girl's head with his laser rifle. Roger pulled the trigger and at that moment Aaron knocked his rifle to the side. The laser shot impacted the wall just to her side and burned the wallpaper. The girl seeing this dropped Julia and now began to sob with fear. "Jesus Rogers. You almost killed her!" Aaron said angrily. "She could've killed Julia and besides she's Ingress, our enemy!" Rogers yelled.
"Does she look like the enemy to you?" Aaron asked him. Rogers looked at the frightened whimpering girl in her pj's. He saw that even though she was 80 ft. tall, she was still just a kid. It didn't help to see Julia trying to calm her down by calling to get her attention. "Hey hey! It's okay! No one will hurt you okay. You can pick me up but just be gentle okay. My name is Julia. What's yours?" Julia asked. "Lisa dolly Julia" she said wiping the tears from her eyes. "Were not dolls Lisa. We're humans" Julia said.
"You're humans!? Mommy said that humans were vermin so I thought you'd be mice" the girl innocently said. "Nope!" Julia said smiling at the girl. "Good job getting her to calm down Julia. No need to wake up her crazy mom or her other daughter" Aaron thought. "Wow you look just like me just smaller. You're not vermin. Kinda cute all tiny" Lisa said poking Julia. "Out of the mouth of babes" Vasquez said.
"Does your mommy ever talk about her work?" Julia asked. "Nuh uh. If she's working it's always on the computer or her room" Lisa answered. "Aaron we need that computer" Sarah chimed in. "Can you show us the computer?" Julia asked. The girl nodded and got out of bed. She carefully stepped around the team not wanting to crush her new friends under her bare feet. She led them to a computer in a room father down the hallway. "Thank you honey but you need to go back to bed and don't tell anyone you saw us okay?" Julia said. "Why not?" the confused girl said. "Because they'll take us away and we can't play with you anymore" Julia said. This frightened the girl. She liked Julia because she was so nice and didn't want to loose her. The girl just nodded and scampered off to bed. "Goodnight everybody" Lisa whispered poking her head around the corner. "Goodnight Lisa" Julia said.
Vazquez and Mitchell, one of the female solders, pushed on a button that seemed to be the startup button. The computer, which had a holoscreen same size of the Times Square display, hummed to life. At the home screen it asked for a password. "Aw shit" Aaron said seeing the problem.
"Let me try. Accessing wireless network. Linking to home network. Link established. Now attempting to gain access by retroactive keylogger subcommand. Standby....Standby...." Sarah said to them. They waited for several minutes. "You in yet?" Aaron said impatiently. "Shut up Aaron. This shit isn't easy" Sarah said. "Seems you had time to run your bitch subroutines" Aaron said under his breath. "Done. Password found. Imputing...oh and by the way if you consider a bitch being someone who can hack a alien computer system and translate it for you in less than 10 minutes then yeah I'm a bitch and proud of it" Sarah said pissed. "Sorry Sarah" Aaron said embarrassed.
"I'm trying to locate the lab in her files. Damn so much information. Exabytes of information" Sarah said sifting through the tidal wave of digital data. "Keep scanning girl. I got faith in ya" Aaron said to her. "I have the location of her lab. Its 8.1 miles from our location. I can confirm that there are at least 14 humans there. Scanning for precise directions...due northwest. Aaron this is a good opportunity to collect more data on the enemy. May I continue?" Sarah asked.
"Go ahead but we need to leave out of here in one hour" Aaron said looking at his watch. He knew that he needs to head to the lab no later than 1:00 a.m. He figured, he hoped, to reach it by 4:00. Any later and the rescue could be compromised by daylight. As the minutes ticked by Sarah made hmmm.... sounds. "Aaron, did you know that just around their recorded time, their society had no archeological past. None at all. No ruins, cave painting, nothing. Like they just appeared out of nowhere. It does say that some believe they came from another world but this claim says it was 40,000 years ago!" Sarah said.
"Okay but what about the giant creatures here?" Aaron asked. "Perfectly natural" Sarah answered. "Impossible! Nothing remotely human could survive predators that size" Private Adams said. "In theory, the Ingress ancestors might have evolved to their current size as a survival trait. Normally this would take millions of years but with their cellular regeneration..." Sarah said.
"This keeps getting weirder by the day" Vazquez said. "I found the reason they want our world so badly. For starters, this planet is roughly the same size as earth which explains the gravity. We are in one of 7 mega cities that is protected by an artificial dome" Sarah said. "Protected from what?" Julia asked. "An ice age. This planet is undergoing an ice age. The rapid cooling as killed off over 97% of their population. Only about 210,000 are left. They need our world to escape the ice Apocalypse. Our resources will ensure their survival" Sarah said scanning the database. "You're finding all this on her computer?" Aaron asked. “No they have something called the info net. Similar to our internet system. Aaron can I talk to you privately?" Sarah asked.
Aaron hopped back into the cockpit and shut the entrance. "What did you want to talk about?" Aaron asked. "I found something in her private files; pictures" Sarah said quietly. "What is it? Something naughty?" Aaron chuckled. His smile left him when she displayed a family photo. On the screen was Dr. Marcus, Lisa, Kelly ...and Leila.
"This is her family? Oh fuck!" Aaron yelled. Aaron couldn't believe his luck or maybe it was fate. Of all the cities, of all the houses, he ended up here. There was no way he could look at Leila and known that he let her family die. He resolved to make his "plan b" work no matter the cost. The other problem was keeping it from the rest of his team. If they found out the personal stake in his plan, they might call his judgment into question. It was now 1:00 a.m. and the team quietly slipped out of the house via the basement window
As Aaron's team departed for the lab, back in our world, Ambassador Rick was just arriving at Luna City. Ambassador Rick stepped off his shuttle and was greeted by a familiar face. "Welcome back" Amy said hugging him. Rick kissed her and temporarily forgot his worries. When Rick contacted Chancellor Endymion about needing more nukes for the operation, the answer he got was "we need to talk privately". He wondered if the support from the lunar league had ceased. If it had, how would they accomplish their mission with only the limited yield bombs?
"You got some time before you have to meet him. Let's go to dinner" she said trying to shake him out of his quiet mood. As they dined, Rick kept looking at Amy. He wanted desperately lose himself in her 9 ft. tall beauty. Anything to take his mind off the weight of the possible problem. Dinner ended and they left for Amy's apartment.
Rick sat his luggage down on the floor and collapsed on her huge bed. He felt the mattress sag as Amy sat next to him. He felt her hands on his head moving it onto her lap. "I'm sorry for being such a downer" Rick said. "Don't worry about it. You got a lot of things on your mind" she said. "Easy for you to say. You don't have to worry about much way out here" Rick said slightly rude.
Amy stopped rubbing his head. Rick looked up to see a tear roll out of one of her eyes. "Sorry sweetie. I didn't mean it like that"' realizing how much of an asshole he sounded. "No it's not that. I didn't want to tell you yet because of the stress you're already under. I'm...I'm pregnant" she said biting her lip.
Rick was stunned. He just stared wide eyed at his large girlfriend not believing the news. Amy began to panic seeing his reaction. "Please don't leave me" her mind cried. Tears flowed down her cheeks fearing the loneliness that was to come. Rick seeing her cry snapped him back to reality. He stood up and tackle hugged her. "I'm going to be a daddy!" he cried. Amy hearing those words lifted the weight off her soul. She hugged him as hard as she dared. "I thought you might leave me" she sobbed into his hair. "Never honey. Never" he said back. They kissed in the dark bedroom and began to strip off their clothes. As Rick mounted her, Amy thought to herself that she had never been so happy in her life. For the next hour they made love, tasting each other's essence and losing themselves in their own world.
Soon it was time to go to his meeting. Rick stood up to get dressed but felt himself get pulled back onto the bed. "Oww giant woman! That hurt" Rick sad leaning back up. "Aw is my poor little earth man hurt? Let mommy make it better" she said stroking her leg along his waist. Rick grabbed her leg and brought her large foot to his face. She shrieked when he sucked her big toe and yanked her foot back. "Little perv!" she said laughing. "Got you to let me go didn't it?" He said putting his clothes back on. "I'll be back soon" he said stepping out and closing the door behind him.
Rick called for a taxi and told the driver to take him the chancellor building. To his surprise, the chancellor was there to greet him and ushering him to get into another car. Rick tried making small talk with the 10 ft. man but he was unusually quiet. Sensing his discomfort, the chancellor asked him how he and Amy were doing. Rick told him she was pregnant. The chancellor smiled and gave a sigh of relief.
"Forgive me. It's just since you last visited us, we have had some misgivings about giving you our support. The almost destruction of Los Angeles by one of our bombs made us rethink our stance. But hearing you starting a family gives me hope. In the mist of this chaotic war you have chosen to build a new life. This will give me and the council a new insight on how you Earthers think" the chancellor said. "In all due respect, it's not an Earther way of life, it's a human way of life" Rick said. "Maybe so. Maybe so..." the chancellor said smiling.
They talked among themselves until they reached an out of the way building on the lunar surface. He watched the car drive into a room and the airlock seal behind them. "Follow me" the chancellor said. Rick followed the tall man up a flight of stairs and through a door that led to a room with a large window. He stared out of it seeing the white sterile lunar surface.
"Beautiful isn't it? The Sea of Tranquility still takes my breath away every time I see it. I wonder if Neil Armstrong felt this way so long ago. Oh...it's almost time for the test. Please put these on and look outside" Endymion said putting on protective sunglasses. Rick put on the glasses on the table in front of him and watched the surface. He almost looked away in boredom when it finally happened.
A colossal burst of light, far brighter than anything he ever saw incredibly drowned out the natural sunlight. When the light faded, he saw a mushroom cloud of debris and melted rock eerily frozen in view due to the low gravity. At its base, a crater of glowing melted rock 2 miles wide marked the epicenter of the blast. "That was one hell of a nuke you used" Rick said. "That was no nuke" the chancellor said disturbed by the power of the weapon.
"What you saw was a bomb powered by the most dangerous substance in the known universe; antimatter. So powerful that the bomb just now was no bigger than a marble. When we heard about the plan to destroy an Ingress city, we knew a simple nuke was not powerful enough. After all these creatures are on average 200 ft. tall. Their cities would have to be colossal! With this in mind, we used the technology gleamed from our positron weaponry and fusion reactors to build an antimatter bomb. The one we will give you is hundreds of times more powerful" the chancellor said. "I see why you were so worried about giving it to us. This will be the biggest bomb in human history...incredible" Rick said.
(Editor’s note: Antimatter is not science fiction anymore. Recent experiments prove it exists and it is VERY volatile. One baseball size chunk of antimatter would be enough to obliterate all of New York City 2 times over!)
"No what's incredible is we built this thing in under a week. This was a decommissioned project until 8 days ago" Endymion said. "Decommissioned project?" Rick asked. "We had many projects we were working on when it seemed we would be going to war with the Earth Union. This was one of them. There are others but those will take some time. Meanwhile we are working on mass producing the plasma weapons and shield prototypes. But enough about war, let's talk about Amy" Endymion said seriously
"What are your plans...marriage wise" he asked. "Uhh...I haven’t talked to her about it yet" Rick said nervously. Endymion put his large hand on his shoulder and squeezed. "I’m asking this for a reason. When her father died in the lunar riots 16 years ago, she was all alone. Since her father and I were good friends, I adopted her. I'd hate to see her upset because you shirked your responsibilities" Endymion said. "She never told me she was your adopted daughter" Rick squeaked out. "She doesn't like to talk about it. She wants to be known not as the chancellor's daughter but as herself. Oh and don't change the subject. Make an honest girl out of her. I mean it" Endymion said with a creepy smile. Rick nodded nervously and followed him back to the airlock.
Rick returned later that night with a small box hidden in his pocket. "Welcome back! What's wrong?" she asked. "N-nothing just tired" he stammered remembering that crushing hand of her father. "Got the job done. I have to leave in the morning though" he said. "Shit! I wanted some more time with you..." Amy whined. "You got me tonight" he said kissing her. "I'll take what I can get" she said kissing him back.
They enjoyed each other's company over dinner and watched some TV cuddled on her 15 ft. sofa. Rick stroked her nightshift and snaked his hand to her left breast and squeezed it. Amy let out a cute moan that was silenced with a passionate kiss. Amy felt the lust build within her and picked the man off his feet and dropped him on the carpet. She quickly ripped off his pants and sucked his cock into her mouth. Rick moaned from her wet mouth and felt himself get hard on her tongue. Amy let his dick fall out of her mouth and quickly shed the last of her clothes.
She positioned herself over his dick and lowered herself onto his shaft. A collective moan was emitted from the couple as she slid up and down his pole. Rick grabbed her tits and squeezed her nipples enjoying the yelps the amazon girl made. As they fucked, Amy would talk dirty. She loved doing it and Rick was the only person she felt comfortable doing it with. She would bend down and whisper things in his ear. "You like my giant pussy don't you. Fucking a girl twice your size gives you a thrill doesn't it? Fuck me then. Blow your cum into me. Fuck me small man and dominate me. Coat my womb again with your seed! “she whispered.
Rick lost it at the dominating part. He hugged her torso let loose a torrent of cum into her large pussy. After a minute they came down and just lay on the floor. "You call me a pervert?" Rick said laughing. Amy blushed and playfully hit him. "It got you off didn't it" she asked. "Nope, was going for twins is all" he said laughing. "You fucking liar. You totally liked it and I’ll prove it" she said mounting him again. The two consummated their love until both were worn out and fell asleep in the living room.
During the night, Amy woke up from a chill on her naked body. She noticed Rick was no longer beside her to keep her warm. She scanned the dark room and saw him staring out of the window. She got up and walked over to him. She playfully put her hand on his hairy chest and noticed that his heart was beating fast...unusually fast. "Rick...are you okay?" she asked worried. "Amy I....god I’m so nervous. Will you be my wife?" he croaked out scraping up every bit of courage he had.
He felt her hug him harder than anyone ever did in his life. He felt so small and fragile in her embrace but he knew she would never hurt him. A wetness fell on his shoulders and without having to turn around knew they were tears. "YES! Oh Rick baby of course I’ll marry you!" she said sobbing from joy. They spent the rest of that night in each other’s arms dreaming of a new life together.
Amy cried like a little girl seeing Rick board his military shuttle but touching her engagement ring and remembering his last words to her gave her the resolve to endure his parting. "When I come back, I'm staying for good. I'll never leave you again. Forever and ever we will be a family"
Back on then Ingress homeworld, a new sense of urgency was given. During the night, the beacon given to Alpha team activated. They had made it to their assigned location and completed their mission. They were now in their third day and barely halfway to their primary target. Normally this wouldn’t be so bad but the rescue mission was an unplanned hurdle. It was around 2:30 when they got to the lab and another 30 minutes before they found a safe way inside.
They crawled through the ductworks like mice to avoid being seen. Their goal was the main processing room. Sarah told them that almost all of the humans would be stored there awaiting tomorrow’s experiments. They finally made it to the air vent leading to the main lab and peered through it. To their dismay, they saw an Ingress woman in her mid-30's at a table. She seemed like she was talking to herself until she moved to the side and they saw that she was talking to a poor human woman who was held down to a table by string tied around her wrists and ankles. The woman looked to be around 30 years old and her dark hair covered some of her face as she thrashed around.
"You're better looking than the others. I'll let you in on a secret. I prefer women when it comes to mating. Oh I still mate with men only because it is an imperial decree to do so every month but I enjoy females more. Yes...I can have fun with a sexy female like you even if you are a small inferior creature" she said licking the tied up woman. The human could only sob as the carpet-like tongue coated her body with her glistening spit.
To her disgust, the cooling of her spit on her body made her nipples hard which the giantess took advantage of. She concentrated licking her teeny nipples until she saw that she was getting wet. The giantess took a lick of her pussy and moaned. "Hmmm....so sweet like candy. I want more" she growled as she grabbed the woman and yanked her up so hard she snapped the strings like they were nothing.
She brought her to her face and sucked her torso into her mouth. She woman beat her fists on her rapists' lips as she sucked her lower body like it was a Popsicle. She instinctively moaned from the pressure and the darting tongue. She tried to push away from it by pushing on her tongue with her bare feet but to no avail. The cruel giantess took her hand around her chest and began pistioning her in and out of her mouth making lewd slobbering sounds. The woman could take no more and came. The evil Ingress woman moaned at the delicious flavor the human gave her. She wanted to see if she could taste more of her and cruelly sucked her in.
The giantess played with her and toyed with the idea of actually swallowing her. She had been told how good it felt to eat a human. The frantic struggles when they slid down your throat and the tickling feeling in your stomach as they pitifully fought to escape digestion. She felt herself getting wet at the thought of turning this human into a late night snack.
"Fuck she's gonna eat her!" Mitchell cried. "We gotta go now!" Vazquez yelled. "Go team go!" Aaron said punching the vent screen clear. They descended by rappel rope all 11 of them. Aaron put his STRIKE into flight mode and flew down. They surprised the shit out of the giantess who was enjoying her mouthful of human. Aaron punched her in the back of the head and the giantess fell forward onto the table. Julia was the first to reach her. She climbed onto her cheek and made her way to her ear.
"Wanna eat something? Eat this" she said coldly as she fired a shot from her laser rifle right into her ear. The shot burned all the way to her brain, killing her instantly. Smoke wafted from her ear as she lay lifeless. Then a slight movement. Everybody aimed their rifles at the giantess again and saw her lips move. The human woman had squeezed her naked body past her lips and was tugging herself free. She broke down crying seeing humans in uniform had saved her.
"Shhh....we're here to help" Julia said hugging the woman. "We're on the clock folks. Sarah, interface with the security system here. We need to get these cages open" Aaron said. "Understood. Standby" she said. It took Sarah just under 5 minutes to bypass security. It boggled her digital mind that the same password was the same one on the computer back at Ingress home. She figured that whoever was Lisa's mother was, she was important to have clearance like that.
One by one with a *click* the cages opened. The captives who weren't awake were awoken by the sound of cheering and thanks to team Charlie. Another 15 minutes to get them to floor level since the cages were on average 100 ft. up. It looked like clear sailing until the unexpected happened. Aaron had stepped out of his cockpit to calm everyone down and to get them focused on what they had to do. "Aaron, look out!" Sarah yelled. He felt the vice-like grip of an Ingress and was brought up to the owners face. It was Dr. Marcus.
27 minutes earlier....
Dr. Cindy Marcus woke up during the night and was surprised to not feel her human sex toy lodged in her cunt. She wondered if he was roaming the house looking for a way to escape. She clicked on her light and saw he wasn't in her room. She peeked into Lisa's room...nothing. She peeked into Kelly's room...still nothing but she found it odd for her to be sleeping with no panties on above the covers. She couldn't find him anywhere. Now she was worried.
She knew she would be blamed for losing a good viable human male. They could easily track where he had been and see she had him. "Fuck I forgot! The tracker!" she thought. She remembered that each human had been injected with a nanochip tracking device in case any escaped. She quickly went to her office room in the house and pulled out her workpad. She logged in and booted up tracking program. She knew that the teen was classified as subject 9 and told the program to scan for him. She saw the map get smaller and more precise. She figured he was outside nearby but to her surprise he was at the lab.
"The vermin went back to free his kind? How cute. How sweet. How stupid" she said throwing on clothes and running out the door. She flew down the road in her hovercar and was at the lab in less than 6 minutes. She followed the tracker signal to the main lab. She rounded the corner to the doorway and saw Dr. Baker dead and 27 humans on the floor with a small robot. She was outraged that they killed a good friend (and sometimes girlfriend) and that some were clearly in their human military. The same military that killed her little sister (or so she thought). She seized a random one in uniform and began to crush the life out of him.
Now…
"I don't know how you got here but you're gonna pay for killing my friend and my sister Leila!” she said increasing the pressure. “Your sister isn’t dead!” Aaron yelped. “Liar! How could you possibly know my sister?! she yelled. “Sarah show her a photo of us. I know you have one” he said choking. Sarah lowered her pulse laser and accessed a picture file. She showed her one with her holo-projector. Cindy gasped at the projection. Her sister was alive and smiling. On her lap was the man she was killing in her grip. She loosened it wanting an explanation.
“Where is my sister? Is she hurt? Answer me human” she ordered. “Your sister is being held in Los Angeles…unharmed now” he said trying to be brave. “Why is she smiling when she is a prisoner?” she said skeptical. “Your sister told me she considers me her mate” he said embarrassed. Cindy just looked at him stunned as well as his team. “what the fuck…” Roger whispered.
“Listen carefully. We are going to rescue these people you captured and you are gonna help us” he said. Cindy bust out laughing. “Why should I commit treason for you worthless creatures?” she said. “Because if you don’t your family will die” he answered. Cindy didn’t like that. Not…one…bit. “You dare threaten my family!?” she yelled squeezing him again. “We are planning to destroy your city in less than 3 days. You got 3 choices. One…your family dies here. Two…flee the city but that might look suspicious like you knew that it was coming. Or three…come back to Earth. Think carefully” he said gasping for air.
Cindy released her grip. “Or four…stop your attack” she said eyeing him. “The attack is coming from a random location from Earth. You can’t stop it” he said. Cindy put him down on the floor. “Choice number 3” she said disgusted. “Good now help me get these people to a transport. We need to keep them at your house for the next day while my team finishes up and prepares to leave. “How do you plan to get us there? The transport hub is still charging. It won’t be ready for 2 days and it will have guards there” she asked. “We will take care of that. Just don’t double cross us and we all come out of this alive” he said. As they prepared to leave, they noticed an Ingress man watching them from the door.
“Fuck another one! Kill him before he sounds an alert!” Mitchell yelled. Everyone pointed their weapons at him. “Please don’t shoot! I mean you no harm! I just want to ask for your help humans!” he said. Seeing that he wasn’t attacking, they lowered their weapons. They eyed the 175 ft. tall man. He looked nerdy with his glasses and thin meek demeanor. “What do you mean our help?” Aaron asked. The man told him his story…
His name was Ned or Ned the nerd. He had a rep for acting weird for caring about the small creatures his lab experimented on. Ned always loved small animals so when he heard about humans he was ecstatic. That exuberance faded when he saw the cruel things down to them. He watched in horror as they were raped, eaten, or mutilated. When he saw how intelligent they were and begged for their lives or loved ones, it clawed at his conscience. The final straw came one day when he observed a worker about to eat a young girl around 8 years old. Seeing her beg not to be devoured made him snap. “STOP! Don’t eat her!” he yelled at the woman. “Why not? She cannot bear children and we have learned all there is to learn from her DNA code. She’s useless. I’m just disposing of her in a fun way” she said coldly. “No I’ll do it” he said lowering his head.
“Look who just got a pair! Wishy washy Ned is gonna kill a human! Alright do it and the staff will take back all they said about you” she said. Ned picked up the girl and brought her to his face. “Don’t eat me mister! PLEASE DON’T EAT ME!!!” she cried as he tossed her inside. Ned could taste her in his mouth. To his shame, her salty sweaty flavor made his mouth water. He was breaking up inside feeling her wriggle in his mouth and screaming. Looking at the woman, he made and exaggerated gulp. “Awesome! How was it?” she asked. Ned took a second. “Felt good. I can feel her punching my stomach. Excuse me” he said returning to his desk. Ned bent down and opened his mouth.
He had cleverly hid the girl under his tongue to talk and was now pulling her out. Her long hair clung to her back from his spit as she lay crying his hand. “Shhh…I won’t eat you I promise. Please be quiet until I can sneak you out later. She sniffled and nodded in agreement. Later that evening, Ned picked the girl up from his desk drawer and put her on his table. “Hold still this won’t hurt” he said pointing a gun like object at her. She felt a tingle when a red light shot out from the gun. “There tracker disabled. Now to get you out of here” he said opening his mouth.
The girl backed up in fear. “Oh sorry. It’s best to smuggle you out in my mouth. If I use my pocket you might get squished” he said. “Promise you won’t eat me?” she said. “I promise” he said opening his mouth again. She nervously stepped forward and put her bare foot on his tongue. His taste buds on her soles gave her goose bumps but she trusted the man not to end her young life. Feeling her inside, he closed his mouth.
Ned carefully walked through the complex making sure not to move his head too much. His passenger stayed as still as possible hoping he wouldn’t break his word and swallow her. The plan was working perfectly until he reached the main door and saw one of his coworkers. “Hey Ned I heard you ate one of the younger humans! Didn’t know you had it in ya!” the man said. Ned carefully raised his tongue and let the girl fall under it. “Thought I might try one. Taster than expected” he said mumbling and inching toward the door. “Ha! Well said man. These worthless creatures aren’t worth even your pity. Have a good evening buddy” he said hitting his shoulder.
At that moment Ned was just moving the kid back into position so she wouldn’t drown in his saliva. When the man hit his shoulder, the force jerked his head just enough for the girl to tumble back into his throat, triggering his gag reflex. Ned swallowed her and felt her tumble into his stomach. Ned‘s blood went cold and panic arose. “Something wrong Ned?” the man asked seeing his reaction. “No just tired. See you later” he said quickly running to his car. Ned slammed the door and grabbed an empty cup. “Still time. Still time!” he said feeling the girl moving inside him.
He jammed his finger into his mouth and poked the back of his throat. Ned gagged and in a second threw up into the cup. His eyes were closed from the retching but he did hear a plop into cup. He opened his eyes to see that the girl was inside covered in puke but alive and coughing. The girl looked up and began to wail. “I’m sorry! Are you okay?” he said worried. “You promised you wouldn’t eat me!” she cried. “I’m so sorry little human! It was an accident but you’re safe now. Let me take you home where you will be safe” he said starting the car and driving off. Now this man was asking for Aaron and his team to help him.
Ned explained what he did and asked them to take her back with them. “Please come to my house. It’s too dangerous to bring her back here” Ned asked. “If what you said is true then you need to come with us when we leave” Aaron said. “Why?” Ned asked. Aaron told him what they were originally there for. Ned went white as a sheet. “Oh my god…” Ned muttered. “Just tell me when you want to meet” Ned said. Aaron told him that they will come by in 30 hours and to be prepared. He agreed and they discreetly left the complex with their captive humans. With reluctance, they all returned to Cindy’s house just before dawn.
“We’re gonna rest for a while and wait until dark to proceed to point Charlie. After planting our beacon, we’re going to this guy’s house” Aaron told the team. Aaron had 3 members stay with the humans from the lab to protect them from the Ingress family if there was a threat. He appointed Julia as the leader of the three. He hoped her affinity for Lisa would keep any possible aggression down to a minimum.
They slept like the dead. The occasional bumping around upstairs woke them up but they fell asleep again in seconds. Lisa and Kelly went to school as usual but their mother Cindy stayed at home. She was busy trying to decide what to take with her and how to tell her kids about the impending apocalypse drawing near.
As the day dragged on, Cindy reflected on how her life led up to this. She looked at the clock as it chimed 9 a.m. She wanted to warn her friends and colleges about what was to come. Could she? Would they even believe her? Many considered the humans as creatures that were only dangerous in large groups like bees army ants. She ruffled her hair in frustration.
She chose to check on the humans and give them something to eat and drink. Why she did this was to ensure their survival. She full well knew that the deal was off if any of them died because of her. Cindy gathered some bread, meat, and water and walked to her basement. She said nothing as she sat the tray on the floor and turned to walk away. "Thank you" Julia said. "Don't thank me. I'm still debating on exposing you to the authorities" she said.
"Think about this. Even if they believed you, could you evac a city this size in 24 hours? Even if you could, would they all survive the harsh conditions outside the city? I'm pretty sure your infrastructure can't move that many in one time" Julia said. Cindy could only stare at the tiny female. Her logic was sound and it pissed her off. She hated to be one-upped by anyone let alone a human. She ached to eat the arrogant female but took her emotions and pushed them aside. Cindy turned away and walked back upstairs. She needed time alone and wanted to be clear headed for when it was time to tell the kids.
Vasquez took some food to the people they rescued. He tried to hand it to one red haired 19 year old girl and as his hand touched her she screamed and pulled away. It scared the shit out of him. "Lady calm down! I only want to give you some food!" he said. "Don't take it personal sir. She had it bad in there" another woman in her late 20's said to him. "Lady we all had it bad in there. No one else is losing their shit" a black woman in her late 30's said. "Well you'd lose your shit too if you were gang raped by mice for amusement" the woman retorted. "Jesus...Here lady I’ll set your food in front of you" Vasquez said.
Aaron and his team had reluctantly taken to the sewers when the sun rose. This time around it was better. Any vermin that saw them retreated when a light was flashed on them. "Only brave in packs, like wolves" Rogers muttered. "How far do have left?" 28 year old private Anderson asked Aaron. “Not far just 3 miles to go. Damn..." Aaron said. "Sir?" Anderson asked. "Bravo team's beacon just lit up. We need to step it up. Double time people!" Aaron yelled. The team sped up their march through the muck, shit, and slime on the thin walkway.
It was around noon when they got to point Charlie. "This the place Sarah?" he asked. "You have arrived at your destination" Sarah said in a mocking computerized voice. "Very funny. Let's set this bastard up and head back to the house" he said. Rogers pulled a beacon from his pack and sat it on the ground. He pushed a button and 3 pylons sprouted from the base and anchored it to the concrete. After it was anchored, it telescoped till the top started glowing blue. "Beacon is broadcasting a good signal" Sarah said. "Awesome now lets head back" Aaron said.
By the time Aaron's team was back and safely in Cindy's basement, there was some talking and shouting being heard upstairs. "Report Julia" Aaron ordered. "Her kids just came home 20 minutes ago and I guess she told them they are coming back to Earth" Julia said. "Sarah, increase audio sensors to maximum" Aaron said wanting to hear what was happening.
"What do you mean we are going to Earth?! I'm not leaving my friends!" Kelly shouted. "Come ‘on Kelly! It might be fun to go there! Think about all the cute humans we can see!" Lisa squealed. Cindy had chosen to tell them the reason they were going to Earth was for work reasons. She said that she had captured some of them and they were leading her back to their population center for surrender and they were to consider it future training for the eventual takeover of their world.
It was the only thing she could think of. How would you explain to your kids that creatures the size of mice was about to wipe out your home and anyone you ever knew? “We are going and that is that!” Cindy yelled. “Humans are fun Kelly you’ll see” Lisa said. “They are only fun when you jam them up your snatch” Kelly whispered. Cindy wondered how they knew about the humans. She didn’t know that they had met them the other night. Cindy fixed them dinner and silently wept knowing it would be for the last time in that house.
It was soon time to go to Ned’s. Aaron looked at his watch and saw they had only 6 hours until the deadline. He wasn’t worried though. Access to an Ingress hover car would give them time to spare. Cindy loaded her car up with the refuges, Kelly, and half-asleep Lisa and drove to Ned’s. They got there in just under a half-hour making sure to avoid any authorities and possible traffic jams. Aaron, Rogers and Mitchell stepped out of the car along with Cindy and knocked on the door. “What’s happening?” Lisa said rubbing her eyes. “Just getting a friend. Go back to sleep sweetie” Julia said. “Can I hold you till I fall asleep again?” she asked. “Sure honey” Julia said climbing into her hand. The refuges looked at the girl and Julia not believing the friendship between the two. They couldn’t believe that an Ingress was not killing a human. They assumed that they were killers to the core. This gave them pause.
“Please come in” Ned said to them. They stepped into the house and saw various cages filled with animals. Inside were giant creatures of all kinds. Birds, mice, rabbits, hamsters, all kinds of animals and they were all giant size. “Sorry for the mess. I get kinda forgetful about housekeeping when I look after so many animals. Some say it’s my weakness that I’m so kind” he said with a nervous laugh. “Oh…Amanda you can come out now” he said to a corner of the house.
Stepping out from behind an old box was the 8 year old girl dresses in some doll clothes. “This is Amanda. The girl I was telling you about. Amanda these people will take you home” he said. “You’re coming too right?” she asked worried. “Yeah I guess I am” he said. The girl breathed a sigh of relief. Over the course of the last few days she had gotten attached to her savior. “
“Are you okay?” Mitchell asked her. “I’m okay. Ned takes care of me. He got me these funny clothes and made me a bed out of cotton balls” she said giggling. The three was relieved to see that she was unharmed or molested. Now they had to leave for the dimensional transport hub. “Sorry to break this touching moment but we should leave” Cindy said looking at her wristcomm. “What is it?” Aaron asked. “They know about the missing humans and they have been trying to contact me. They might come here seeing that it was us last punching in to get access last night” Cindy said. “Fuck we need to get out of here” Aaron said. In less than 5 minutes they squeezed into Cindy’s hover car and drove off. Little did they know that they were being watched. An Ingress woman, on leave from the front, had been walking her dog and saw the humans pile into the car. She rushed to her comm panel and called local command.
“Good were here. Let’s get the hell off this world” Aaron said as they all climbed out of her car and proceeded to the entrance to the hub. It was lightly guarded, only 4 personnel on duty at 3 a.m. They struck quickly. A well-aimed shot of a pulse laser killed one guard and multiple shots from the rifles downed the other two. “Piece of cake” Rogers said. “Easy were not out of the woods yet” Vasquez said. “Hey, what could go wrong?” Rogers said. As soon he said that an extremely loud alarm went off and the computer screen controlling the terminal went red. “Universe loves proving me wrong!” Rogers shouted. “You make it too easy!” Julia shouted.
“Sarah can you hack that terminal?” Aaron asked. “Yes but it will require some time” Sarah answered trying to access the local network. As they waited for Sarah, they noticed movement outside. “We got company! 6 Ingress incoming!” Mitchell shouted. “Get everyone inside closer and take cover!” Julia said. “I wanna stay with you!” Lisa whined. “Go inside now!” Julia yelled. Lisa ran in crying, scared and confused in what was happening.
“Humans are there! Destroy them! Don’t let them return to their world! They must not report what they seen here!” the commander yelled. “But there are our own people in there!” one officer shouted. “Traitors…all of them. They are trying to avoid their combat duties. Kill them” she said. “But the children!” the officer shouted. “Daughters of traitors! NOW FIRE!” she said pulling out her plasma pistol and firing at them.
“Shit they’re really trying to kill us!” Cindy shouted. “Still feeling patriotic?” Aaron asked. The squad returned fire under cover by hiding behind an ashtray holder and chair. The plasma shots zipped by as they fired in kind. Now and then an Ingress was hit and fell behind cover. “They got no shields!” Vazquez yelled. “Figures! Know anybody who walks around with a protective vest back home?” Mitchell yelled. At one point an Ingress got a lucky shot and hit Anderson, vaporizing her instantly. Feeling emboldened, the Ingress advanced keeping up their fire. Aaron was firing into the crowd but was having a hard time hitting them as he dodged and took cover. He had killed 4 so far but they were getting more reinforcements as the minutes dragged on. Now there were 11 of them. It seemed they were a police force of some kind and were responding to gunfire. “Destroy their cover!” one Ingress female shouted. They fired on the couch and destroyed one of the legs. It tilted and crushed 3 refugee humans.
“We need to end this! Prepare to fire the positron cannon.” He said. “I can’t fire it! I need the extra power to hack this system!” Sarah said back. “Shit! Okay, Sarah, arm the helldart missile!” he ordered. “Armed, targeting the Ingress crowd. Ready to fire” she said. “FIRE!” he yelled. The missile in the missile rack fired and streaked to the crowd. Halfway there, it lurched up into the sky. “Stupid humans and their worthless technology! Were so close to them and they missed anyway!” the giantess commander yelled.
“Wait for it” Aaron said hearing her taunt. The helldart stopped climbing at 2000 ft. and started to fall. At 1500 ft. it broke up and 15 micro missiles popped out of it. These micro missiles had independent targeting and a 200 ft. tall Ingress made a nice target for them. They slammed into them and detonated on impact. They never had time to scream. A cloud of smoke, flame, and a shower of blood and guts flew into the air where they had been standing. Where the local Ingress police were was just lumps of burning flesh and debris.
“Why didn’t you do that first?” Rogers said. “I only had one of those. Sarah get that encryption broken. I don’t care how” Aaron said looking at the feed on the still flying probe. He saw multiple heat sources closing in on him. He figured these were soldiers and they were going to be armed with rifles and shields. He figured right.
Sarah had allocated most of her functions into breaking the code but now a sense of urgency had appeared when they saw that 8 Ingress soldiers had appeared. As before they fired on them but as Aaron had feared, their shields protected them. They continued firing desperate to delay them. The rifle shots wiped out any cover they had and they fell back again. Another chair destroyed, then a desk, next was a table. They were running out of room fast. “Focus on one target! Drain its shields!” Aaron yelled. They fired on the closest one continuously. Laser rifles pinging on her shields and Aarons laser shots lowering the shield power. Aaron began firing his auto cannons and the explosions pushed her back. Seeing the effectiveness, Aaron began to spray into the crowd with cannon shell spam. The one that was in the forefront lost her shields and a shell hit her face killing her. “One down!” Vasquez yelled.
Seeing how the STRIKE was the bigger threat, the Ingress turned their fire on it. The plasma shots hit his armor but didn’t destroy it. The tough nano carbon absorbed the damage but not the heat. The armor was heating up…fast. Aaron was getting desperate. He saw that the armor was failing on his readouts then the inevitable happened. The armor failed on the leg and the plasma shot hit the frame destroying the leg from the knee down. The strike knelt down. What was really unnerving for him was hearing Sarah cry out in pain. “Sarah! Are you okay!?” he asked. “I felt it in my monitoring sensors! I’m okay. I’m almost done!” she said.
“Plan B? More like plan F for fucked-““Shut it Rogers! Were gonna unfuck this situation! Julie yelled. Aaron kept firing his cannons until they ran dry. Now all he had was his lasers. Seeing that the machine had no more impact weapons, they resumed firing on it. Chest armor failed and now other sections were failing. It seemed they were going to die. Aaron thought about the people he would never see again as he closed his eyes. Uncle Luke and Leila flashed in his mind. A tear rolled out of his left eye.
“Got it! Inputting coordinates for Los Angeles! Go to the platform!” Sarah said. “You heard the digital woman go!” Mitchell yelled. They scrambled to the platform…all except Aaron. He had to keep up fire to keep the Ingress at bay. One Ingress who had great marksmanship skills fired her rifle and hit the Strike’s arm blowing it clean off. Now Aaron only had one laser to work with. He scanned for his next target and saw on his screen an alert. It said reactor coolant failure.
“Sarah, the reactor is overheating! Fix it!” he yelled. “No…I lowered the coolant pressure” she said. “WHY!?” he asked. “There’s only one way to save you Aaron. I love you” she said before ejecting him out of the cockpit. “Don’t do this!” he yelled as she dragged the STRIKE toward the crowd. The shots kept hitting her as she advanced. The last vestiges of armor were melting and now the head camera had been destroyed. Blind now, she still advanced feeling every shot in her artificial soul.
Aaron was dragged by his team to the platform as he yelled for his friend. “Wish I could be with you Aaron, even if you didn’t love me. I want to be with you so much!” she sobbed in her digital mind. As she thought this, the wrist comm on Aaron began to glow green. She finally got though the crowd and fired at them blindly. The last thing Aaron saw of her was her being shot in the back multiple times then the flash of transport.
Sarah’s last bit of sensors picked up the transport and let the inevitable take her. Her reactor went super-critical and exploded. It killed all the Ingress attacking her with its 5 kiloton blast. It left no one to report what had happened there but time would tell that story…
“We have confirmation of team Charlie returning. We are go for deployment!” a colonel said. “Damn time. Transport now” the newly promoted General Longstreet said. They waited for the transport of the car-sized antimatter bomb. “Transport complete. Awaiting detonation” the colonel said. “Insert arming keys” he said. They inserted their keys. “Turn to arm” he said. They turned their keys.
“Now to press this fucking gorgeous red button. TIME TO CRACK THE SKY!” General Longstreet yelled pressing the button. He pressed the button with zeal.
The bomb in the middle of the city picked up the detonation signal. The flash was brilliant. The power unleashed was awe spiring. No one knew what had happened before their city was enveloped in a blast of heat energy over 20,000 degrees. Not just people, entire city blocks just vaporized from the energy burst that radiated out at 10% the speed of light. The city was obliterated so fast that it was gone before the sound could be heard (assuming if anyone would survive to hear it). The air thundered from the expansion and rushed back from the vacuum of a now gone city. So powerful it was, the plume flash was seen over at the neighboring continent. The bomb had another unforeseen side effect, two in fact.
First, it created an artificial earthquake. The blast had literally shattered the planet’s crust for a radius of 75 miles. The quakes shook the nearby city over 300 miles away and damaged its protective dome. And second, the most disastrous of all, it threw tons of dust and debris into the air. Any sunlight the planet got was now gone. The ice age they were experiencing had been multiplied by 20 times.
“They will pay! THEY WILL PAY!” the empress shouted learning what had happened to one of her cities days later. She stormed out of the palace and headed to a secure location. Her anger burned through her and she wanted vengeance. She descended down the facility she went into “No more mercy. When we finish repaying them for this affront to my people they will scream for our mercy!” she said looking at her instrument of revenge….
