[h1][i][b]March 5,2020:[/b][/i][/h1] From what you could see beyond the dark clouds, through the tiny patches of clouds that had been pierced by outside forces, it looked like it was already night. The invasion of the one ship lasted throughout the afternoon, and into the night. The mother-ship was still falling, however its trajectory was uncertain, it could land in the water or onto an unspecified area of the city. No matter where it lands it would still cause damage. News helicopters still flew around, broadcasting everything they saw, and everything they didn't.

However you were able to pilfer the layouts, do with it what you will. [quote=@ReaptheMusic] [/quote] As you trudged through the ships inner hallways, you could feel the ship shake, and you knew why. The ship had it's moments of stability and seemed to be stable enough for you to make good progress as you traversed the inside, however one of it's more unstable moments caused both of you to fall, and slide down the hallway. [quote=@philp123] [/quote] The ship shook slightly, causing the aliens in front to stumble backwards onto the floor, where they struggled to get into a comfortable position. The alien you were holding down seemed to lose consciousness as you pounded his armored chest. [quote=@SilverDawn] [/quote] The rifle that had landed into your lap appeared to only have one good shot left, a shot you took without aiming, relying completely on faith. Your faith was rewarded. As the alien attempted to retrieve his trident your shot landed on his armored neck, causing him to recoil backwards, giving off a grunt of pain. [quote=@Art of Fun] [/quote] He didn't get a change to parry your kick as he had just stumbled backwards from an energy blast. Your kick landed and forced his helmet to tear off his suit, as his face was revealed it would seem he is of African descent. As his helmet launched into the air, so did he, but he had managed to land on the farther side of the room. "It appears some miscalculations were made, no matter. The mission can still succeed. Manta to all points, take what we have and withdraw, the ship is going down and I intend to satisfy the boss." With that all aliens present in Jump City began to disappear into various portals, which all opened and closed with a thundering boom. Manta himself unhooked a large rifle from his back, as opposed to the more common blue, his beams were a deathly red, and all aimed at you. However, the problem of the alien mother ship still remained, along with the human captives within. It appears Manta intends to survive the ships crash, or has an escape attempt planned.

However, before the battle could continue, the aliens had summoned large portals and disappeared into them.
