Chapter 2

Plan and Goal

When I was younger, I always dreamt about travelling the world and visiting different countries but never in my wildest dream I would've thought that I would be here after most of the humanity is destroyed though. Currently I am travelling to the main base of operation of the 'INVADERS'. I don't know they are called so, for now I'm sticking with 'Invaders'.

But how do i know that they are in this area or more accurately in USA because this was the first country that felled victim to the merciless attack of the invaders. At the time of invasion, I was in a landlocked country which was small in size but as it was between two of the most powerful nation in the world I escaped from the attack with my life. The resistance from those powerful two nation, Eastern Empire and United Nation Federation (UNF), helped many people to escape but it didn’t matter much because after sometime they were overrun by the invading force. Most of the people were killed on the run and those who survived had nowhere to go so, most of them died from hunger and different diseases.

After searching for invaders many years I found out that they use a large light beam to constantly send signals into outer space which was visible from thousands of miles away. So, considering the first fallen country's location and the light beam were in the same direction, it didn't take a genius to guess where their main force was.

After walking for one more day in the desert I could finally see 'it'. Right now I had many emotion welling up inside me. Sadness, Fear, Depression. I could feel them all at this moment. The reason... Ships that are floating in mid-air ignoring Gravity. But that's not all, the sheer size of those ships was so big that I couldn't even see them all at the same time with my eyes.

If you have watched sci-fi movies such as star war, you must know how big these ships can get But The ships in front of me are much larger than that and not one either there are dozens or so hovering in the mid air. Among them a ship that is a little smaller than other was floating in middle and top of all other ships. It seemed that they are protecting that particular ship.

I was scared a bit to be honest but I calmed my heart and moved forward again. Slowly I moved towards the ship but then I caught the stench of blood. The nearer I got to the ship the heavier the smell of blood got. Then I saw something so scary, I was sure it would haunt me in my nightmares. In front me was mountains of corpses and pool of blood flowing through them. Some were beheaded, some had their arms and legs torn apart, some were lacking eyes and different other organs in their body. It was a horrible sight that made my stomach turned. These people didn't have a chance to surrender or flee from them. It was just simple 'Massacre'.

There was no end to the corpses. Right now, as far as my eyes could see it was only pool of blood with corpses floating on them. It was place that could truly be called Hell. After few minutes I got used to it. I had to. I made my Heart strong and move forward. Soon I got out of the mountains of corpses. Then There I saw the ground that was cracked so much that a person's feet could easily get trapped. It was where ocean was supposed to be. And the place where the corpses were must be the beach or what it used to be. Then I focused my vision in front of me which had nothing but cracked ground and there I caught glimpse of something blue and above it was a black cube ten times the size of a football ground. It was sucking the ocean dry. When I moved further I could see More than dozen or so black cubes were there above the remaining blue ocean. I didn’t why they were sucking the ocean but I couldn’t do anything. So, after glancing at it one more time and I turned my vision to the dozens of ships that were hovering in mid air.

I again moved towards the place which I thought was the HQ of the invaders. It was few thousand meters ahead of me after I walked for few hours. I couldn't just stroll there like I was in a park so it took my time slowly moving ahead. Now that I was seeing this 'ships' this close, I again realized how massive they were. They were more or less five times the size of a football ground. Considering the weapons, technology and soldiers, a single ship could carry, Earth never stood a chance. As I thought this, I felt like something didn't add up here. They could wipe humans whenever they want, however they want with, even a single ship, But they still brought dozen or more ship just for a single planet. I didn’t know how many were around the whole planet but they have at least hundred them, But Why though? Even if they were attacking with full force, with just in case in their mind, I'm sure they knew all about the human forces even before coming here considering their advance technology. So, Why? Was there something in earth that us, humans, never knew? Or Was Something much bigger going to happen? Thinking it was pointless to over think the matters I moved towards their base. I had four handguns, fully loaded, and a single chance. I couldn't reload as I had no more bullets so, I could either complete my goal before that happens or because facing them directly or trying to run after I got spotted was more or less suicide.

My goal was to infiltrate into one of their ship at night. How? I was going to use 'The Hover Jet'. These hoverjet are more or less the size of building with two stories. When the invasion began they used it to transport their soldiers to the ground. Right now there are two hoverjets in here so there must be few hundred soldiers in this ground base. A single hoverjet could carry two-hundred to three-hundred, so in total more than five hundred soldiers. Speaking of soldiers, they wore a mask but it was compact and had something like a air purifier design in it. They all carry a guns that looks like a revolver and a rifle but they are more compact and are rectangular in shape and yes they fire lasers or light beam or whatever. Even if i was wearing a bulletproof vest or a full body armors just like in anime, their weapons could easily penetrate through my body. Also their body suit is so powerful that even if I were to fully fire all the bullets into my suit it won't leave a single scratch. The only part of their body that doesn't have the suit's protections is their neck which is annoyingly more harder to aim.

I wasn't planning on a full assault because guerilla warfare is more or less useless against them. I experienced that first hand when I was battling them on Cuba. My body may have become weak but I had experience of more than 10 years. I was fighting invaders since I was sixteen years and on my way here I met many people, learned various tactics and self-defense techniques from many military officers. The girl I loved was also a daughter of a very powerful army veteran and an expert Assassination from UNF. So I got to learn some interesting techniques from many people.

I was waiting for the soldiers to replace them with a new batch. Well they might be from space but they are not omnipotent. Every soldier works for a full day and is replaced by another soldier. So midnight today they will replace soldiers. My plan is to infiltrate their ships becoming one of them. Two hours was left till midnight. I couldn't be hasty at all. If they got a sniff of me I was good as dead so, I was waiting for the right moment. While the soldiers are patrolling their respective zones they required to report it to HQ with their respective code numbers, every half hour. I don't have an idea about their language but it was more or like this in every other base. If the soldier doesn't respond in half an hour the whole base will go on lockdown mode and intruder is filled with holes. That’s why I couldn’t kill even a single soldier without letting the whole base know, However there are a few flaw in this So, I mustn't get them suspicious at all. I was going to this quickly and stealthily, just like an assassin. Don't get me wrong, I was trained by a full-fledged professional assassin, even though I myself couldn't be that within just few years I had picked up a few tricks for myself.
