The golden Mothership continued to approach Jump City, but now the military had arrived, or more specifically the Air Force. Dozens of jets approached the alien space craft and launched an uncountable amount of missiles. The weapons all struck true against the space craft leaving plums of smoke around it, obscuring everybody's vision of it. However, as the smoke cleared the ship appeared to be without so much as a scratch, and in retaliation the ship blasted giant bright blue lasers into the fighter squadrons. Some of the fighters were immediately shot down, some managed to eject, and some continued to do what they could against the alien invasion.


"This is channel 14, your most up to date news source in Jump city, and boy do we have news!" A news anchor shouted over the sounds of chaos, heavy rain, and winds blowing across the skies. For those watching TV at this moment they could see the anchor was Sally Sandsmark, a large '14' sat at the bottom left corner, and on the bottom of the screen read 'Breaking News!' those two words continued to roll across the bottom during the entirety of the broadcast. You could see that she was currently in a helicopter encircling a weird group of individuals. "A mysterious ship has appeared over Jump City and has begun abducting people! The reasons are unclear, but what is clear is that these are no friends of ours!" The anchor struggled to stay standing as an explosion fired off nearby. "There are a group of super powered individuals right outside this window fighting against these invaders! But the question remains, where is the Justice League? Where is Superman?"

You can hear the family you just rescued run away. The ships around you continued to offload aliens, some even took notice of you. The group of invading infantry that noticed you roared some form of battle cry and rushed at you with glowing lances and swords.

Your efforts to save people from the beam seems to pay off as some return to the ship or stop all together. It might be worth attempting to infiltrate the ship. The people you had just rescued run in fear as you took a hit, however the aliens wouldn't stop. The invading infantry continues to spray their projectiles at various targets such as cars, buildings, and especially you.

The aliens were apparently no strangers to portals, perhaps worth investigating? Although the alien drop-ship refused to fire their main cannons on you, the ground troops had no such problem as they happily trained their rifles up at you and began to unleash a barrage of blue pellets.

The aliens you thought you had killed slowly rose up or attempted to crawl away, perhaps their armor is far more durable than you thought. However they all dissipated quickly into a bright orange portal, leaving nothing behind them. But apparently you do good work against their common attack craft. A few of the remaining ground trooper squads brought their weapons up and focused their fire onto you.

Your antics, or rather the Monkey King's, were rather effective at bringing down the craft. However some of the remaining ships sought to end you and began bombing runs. The aliens that had survived your attacks quickly trained their rifles onto you and fired when they could.

As you were brought onto the drop-ship you could see other humans being held inside pods or being transferred into one. The interior of the ship was a cool blue, as opposed to it's red exterior. You could see that the aliens were taking care not to hurt their captives to much, but they weren't above a bruise. Unfortunately for you it appears this drop-ship is full and is now on it's course back to the mother-ship, along with many others. Perhaps it will be worth attempting to learn more.
