Angel keeps moving until he finds an outpost and a pile of alien like creatures on the floor. However these aliens are not gloobas, by their uniforms they were protecting this area. These are the bodies of the Fincinan’s race. They are an alien race with big teal bald heads, but frail bodies. Their skin is mostly frosty due to the permafrost of the planet. While they are excellent marksmen and have a respectable military, they are no match for the gloobas who are much more powerful.
He sees some glooba soldiers patrolling the area. He decides to use stealth in order to avoid too much attention. Nothing that he can’t handle, the guards are all salamander troopers. He carefully approaches a trooper looking the other way next to a cabin and slashes his neck. Another salamander trooper sees one of his fellow troopers fall, he heads to the dead body. Angel ambushes him and impales him with his shadow blade. He then turns the corner of the cabin to see more troopers patrolling the area. Some of the troops were on the surface. Others were on the upper level of what looked like the gravitational tower.
Angel gets a page from Quentin telling him to knock out the tower, but also the source of the cold is inside the research facility.
“Damn thought it would be in and out. Well these alien bastards were not going to make it easy.” Angel says to him self.
Angel comes up with the idea of getting on top of a cabin to kill the aliens of the upper levels. Now Angel just needs something explosive to take down the tower. He heads inside the cabin from the roof, kills an unsuspecting glooba and finds a box of mines. He climbs back on the roof and sets off mines on the tower. He runs back to trigger the mines, after triggering the mines the tower comes down. The debris from the tower crushes the salamander troopers on the surface and causes one of the cabins to collapse. The winds begin to subside significantly and the snow begins to come down much more calmly.
Angel heads towards the defense outpost which guarded the lab. He notices that a pellet barely misses him from behind and a few seconds later a bullet barely misses him in front of him. He realizes that he is being shot by a sniper in the defense tower. He lays low and crawls his way into the outpost. An elevator is the first thing he sees, but it has no power, so it can’t be used for now. He goes up the stairs and continues to use stealth along the way, killing the unsuspecting aliens. He continues to go up the stairs until he reaches the top and he spots a turret waiting for him.
“Hahaha, you thought you would get me huh? Ah I’m too smart for that!” Angel says in his mind recognizing that he was navigating the outpost easily.
Angel shoots the turret down and heads to a steam room which provided heat for the outpost. Once again he saw dead bodies of the former inhibitors of the planet. However he also seen a gunfight between glooba forces and the Fincinan forces. The Fincinan forces are much weaker against the glooba forces, which consist of iguana enforcers, boar cops and a scorpion crawler.
“This should be an interesting battle. I should help those aliens out.” Angel says to him self.
Angel jumps into action shooting the iguanas and boars, while avoiding the stinger of the scorpion crawler. Many of the Fincinans are killed, but one remains alive. Between the two of them they are able to kill the iguana enforcers. Angel gets into a melee with one of the boar cops, while the surviving Fincinan fights the scorpion crawler. Angel gets tackled by the boar cop and begins to take blows from the boar cop. He is thrown towards a steam pipe and falls on the ground. The boar cop grabs its shotgun and prepares to shoot Angel. Angel shoots the steam pipe, which realizes a shot of hot gas right to the boar blinding it. This gives Angel the chance to kill the boar. He gets under the boar cop and uses his shadow blade to cut through the boar.
The Fincinan does the best it could against the scorpion, but the scorpion proves to be too strong. The crawler kills the Fincinan with its poison spit and the Fincinan begins to decay rapidly. The creature turns its head towards Angel and begins to attack him. The crawler goes after Angel with its tail, tries to spit at him, but misses him. The crawler is able to grab Angel and begins to squeeze him to death. However he is able to grab the shotgun he had stole from the boar cop.
“Hey freak look down!” Angel says as the creature looks down right into the barrel of the shotgun and then he blasts the creatures head. “What a sucker, an old third grade trick. Ewww! Alien blood all over my space suit oh well, these bastards are gonna to be hard to take out.” Angel says as he studies the scorpion’s corpse.
Angel continues down the hall and finds his way back outside. This time he is on the other side where the laboratory is located. He is greeted with more aliens and more dead Fincinans on the floor. He easily takes care of the salamander troopers and begins to make his way to the laboratory. That is until the ground under him begins to move and breaks open forcing him back. A new creature pops out. It is a beetle like creature that has a human like body. It has strong claws that it uses to strike Angel hard, an extremely tough back shell and the ability to hover.
Angel gets right back up and begins to dodge constant claw attacks by the beetle. He had to be careful because the beetle has a claw that was bigger than the others on its right hand, which is used to finish off its victim. Angel shoots the beetle and while the shots weaken the creature the creature remains standing strong. The beetle begins to hover over Angel and makes a bee-line for him with its big claw. Angel is able to barely back flip out of the way of the beetle. The beetle takes his claw out of the snow and chases Angel once again. Angel tries to continue shooting the beetle, but the shots have no effect and after a few shots he runs out of bullets. He is forced to run for his life until he is cornered next to a hill.
“Crap I had no idea beetles could be so deadly. Damn it where’s the bug spray when you need it? Man I need a miracle or I’ll be frozen for good.” Angel says while being cornered by the beetle. Another thing is his body temperature begins to decreasing rapidly and he was starting to show signs of hypothermia, he is getting weaker.
The beetle prepared to finish Angel off until… Laser rifle shots go off, hitting the beetle.
“Don’t worry Angel, you’ll be ok buddy. Let’s get you outta here and into the lab.”
The mysterious man takes Angel to a medical room to nurse Angel back to health. Angel opens his eyes to see the man who saved him.
“Who the hell are you? Oh Fabian is that you?” Angel asks in shock.
“Yes buddy it’s me and I know, what am I doing here? Well while it’s snowing in New York, where I live if feels like the Saharan desert. I noticed numerous black holes popping up and the Elder God told me to enter as I would prove to be most useful in Fincina.” Fabian answers
“Boy was he right in getting you to come out here, that beetle would have killed me. What in the hell is that creature?” Angel asks.
“It’s a Fincinan beetle, the natural enemy of the Fincinan race. You may not know this the Fincinans have always had a friendly stance towards Earth, but because of its distance nobody notices it. That is except us, since we look up to them in times of need in our hometown. The gloobas want control of this planet to control the climate on Earth and they are making a secret weapon, probably a new species. Anyway we gotta knock this lab out of commission.”
Angel and Fabian reunite and head deeper into the lab killing any aliens along the way. The duo reaches a control room where there are turrets inside and a locked blast door ahead. The two of them decide to use stealth once again to negotiate the control room. However that idea is quickly shot down when they are spotted by the enemy. The scene turns into a firefight with salamander troopers and iguana enforcers attacking the duo. Angel has a grenade in his hand, but is afraid to use it as it may destroy the main controls and prevent the two of them from getting any further.
“Angel you got to use the grenade, there are too many of them!” Fabian tries to convince Angel
“I just hope the controls don’t get fried!”
“It’s a chance we’ll just have to take! Hurry up!” Fabian con
tinues to speak hysterically.
Angel throws the grenade, which blows up all of the alien troopers and while it causes damage to the controls, but it works to the heroes favor. The turrets are taken out of commission and the blast door opens. The two of them quickly rushes towards the hallway beyond the blast door. Once inside they find the condenser causing the winds from Fincina to hit Earth, Angel uses his remaining mines to destroy the condenser. After that Angel receives a call from Quentin.
“Hey Angel good job, it’s not cold here anymore and the temperature is starting to rise rapidly back to where they belong. Also the North Pole and South Pole’s are cooling down to their normal levels as well. Now get out of there, your job is done there.” Quentin tells Angel
“Roger that! Angel answers Quentin “Come on Fabian lets get out here. We got a long adventure ahead of us, this is only the beginning.” Angel lets Fabian know they are in store for another long adventure.
However before the two can escape an alarm goes off and an automated message says, “Attention… Attention! Bio-hazard containment has failed in the facility. Special Forces have been deployed. All non-personnel forces will be eliminated!”
“Crap we’re in a rat trap, what the f…?” Angel looks at a mutated Fincinan beetle that has been mixed with a scorpion crawler. It has the ability to fly and now impale their victims airborne.
“Shoot it in the leg!” Fabian screams.
The duo teams up and kills the mutated Fincinan beetle. However as they look ahead more of them can be seen, but what is strange is that the beetles are attacking their glooba creators. The two still have to be careful because the gloobas have sent in their best troops including teleporting troopers. Angel sees a weapon storage room and grabs whatever weapons they could find. Including grenades, a laser rifle, but what catches his attention is the Devastator his old friend. After grabbing their gear, the two of them prepare to escape Fincina.
The gloobas kill off several of the experimental beetle/scorpion creatures, but right after they go for the duo. Fabian shoots the troopers, but as expected they teleport out of the way. They appear right behind the duo, but Angel anticipates them and blows them away with the devastator. They continue their escape and watch as a beetle kills a trooper with its tail. It also poisons another trooper and the body of that trooper decays immediately. The two sneak on by the scuffle and head outside to the surface being careful not to fall in the hole. More of the mutated beetles can be found, but the duo begins to catch on to their attack patterns and begin to have an easier time dealing with the beetles, at least when the creatures aren’t flying. The duo also has to deal with enhanced iguana enforcers and salamander troopers.
The fight lasts for about fifth teen minutes until the exhausted duo finally kills the last alien. The snow continues to come down at a steady pace, while the wind is still blowing and cold it isn’t as powerful as when Angel got to Fincina.
“Now this is starting to feel like home!” Fabian says with excitement.
“This is home to you? Wow I couldn’t stand this weather for even a week, let alone a lifetime. Now let’s get to my ship.” Angel replies
Quentin calls Angel and Angel picks up, “Hey “Q” what’s good?”
“Ah we got a problem here the gloobas are building another black hole here on Earth and they are trying to send a gunship with those mutated creatures here. Angel you cannot let that ship leave, the hole is on top of the outpost by the defense tower. Hurry up Angel!” Quentin tells Angel.
“Roger that, the elevator is ahead, come on Fabian lets go.” Angel replies.
Angel and Fabian enter the elevator in the defense outpost which takes them to the top of the outpost where the Angel was being shot by the sniper. The sniper aims for Angel, Angel recognizes the sniper as a Fincinan and puts his hands up trying to convince the alien not to shoot. The Fincinan sniper puts his weapon down and walks towards the two.
“I’m sorry there human, I thought you were on of them. Fincina was a peaceful planet until the gloobas decided to pull our planet closer to yours and decided they wanted it for themselves. Now this planet has become a hub for glooba experiments and…” The Fincinan apologizes to the duo.
“I know my friend. You guys play a big role in controlling the weather making sure that there is no serious climate change back on Earth. We know of your presence and we show you our gratitude though our rituals.” I’m Fabian leader of the Eskimos.
“I’m Angel one of the chosen ones to save the universe from a disaster. Glad to see we are on the same side.” Angel says to the sniper. However before anymore talking could be done the glooba gunship appears.
“Hold that thought Angel, we got company! Ok you want a piece of our planet, we’ll give it you! Guys use the sentry guns to shoot the ship down.” The Fincinan says to the two.
“Fabian I want you to take control of that sentry gun. I and our friend here will cover you. I’m sure the gloobas will try to intercept us with foot soldiers.” Angel screams out the orders as the gunship prepares to attack.
The ship attacks the trio with lasers and rockets. Angel and the Fincinan use their agility to dodge the rockets. Fabian unloads on the ship, but notices not too much damage is done on the ship. Salamander troopers from the defense tower and flying troopers with jetpacks come to interfere. Angel and the Fincinan alien cover Fabian as best they could. However the sentry gun that Fabian uses malfunctions and he has to run to the next sentry gun. A rocket is shot towards Fabian nearly taking him out. The blast throws right him onto the hard snowy pavement. No response comes from Fabian.
“Damn my friend you gotta control the sentry gun, Fabian is out!” Angel screams.
The Fincinan goes to the sentry gun and begins to shoot at the gunship again. He notices the weak spot on the gunship is right on the nose of the ship and the ship begins to weaken even further. However the sentry gun is out of bullets and the ship is on the verge of going down. Time is of the essence though because the black hole is beginning to materialize. The gloobas are trying to break in to the hole, but Angel holds them back successfully and the Fincinan takes the other side. Angel uses his devastator and shoots down the ship successfully.
“Well score one for the boys back home! Yeah baby, no aliens coming through here!” Angel then calls Quentin “Quentin is there anyway to get rid of this hole?” Angel asks Quentin.
“Well no, but the hole will dissipate in due time. As long as no aliens get through before the hole closes off, we should be fine.” Quentin answers Angel.
“Fabian that means you’ll have to stay here with our new friend here. It’s too risky to leave this poor guy alone, for all we know he might be the last Fincinan alive here until we can fix all this.” Angel says.
“You are probably correct there, the only ones are the beetles, but they are our enemies. Angel, please take care of yourself during the rest of your journey.” The Fincinan says in a gentle tone.
“I will! I got a kick ass spaceship, what’s next Quentin?” Angel asks Quentin.
“Well Angel the next planet we want to target is Fortuna, but you’ll have to be careful because Galaxy Y is in between. We don’t know much about that area, all we know about Galaxy Y is that it is a favorable area for black hole development. Another thing is that they’re bound to be many enemy ships waiting to take you down.” Quentin explains to Angel.
“That’s fine Quentin, its time to kick ass and chew bubblegum!” Angel says in a cocky tone as he heads towards Fortuna.
Chapter 6
Asteroid Belt
Maria and Dayvon despite their differences must work together as they head towards the planet of Uranus. As they travel through space in their newly acquired spaceships. It’s all smooth sailing and they can actually spot Uranus in the distance. However they spot numerous asteroids in the horizon and even some glooba space ships. The two are prepared to enter the Asteroid Belt which has been found out of place along with everything else.
Maria and Dayvo
n slow down their ships to avoid getting hit by the asteroids. Dayvon tries to shoot the asteroids and is actually successful in destroying them.
“Hey Maria, I bet that I can shoot more asteroids than you can!” Dayvon challenges Maria.
“Boy Dayvon you just like to find ways to get me upset or crack me up!” Maria replies.
The duo shoots the asteroids and the clear a path. A few leftover small asteroids hit the ships, but not enough to take down the ships or cause any damage. However enemy glooba ships approach the two, ranging from butterfly bots, small gunships to bee-fighters. The two take out the first wave of enemy ships rather easily. For the next 5 minutes the path to Uranus is clear or at least clearer than before. A space wind pushes Dayvon close to Maria nearly striking her right wing.
“Hey jerk, what’s the big idea. I’m on your side! I outta shoot you down!” Maria screams to Dayvon.
“My bad it wasn’t me though it was a space wind that pushed me.”
“Sure it was Dayvon and a three leaf clover means good luck. I’m kicking you ass later Dayvon!”
“Hey you two, come on we need to get along. Angel has already taken out the tower in Fincina. Can you guys just put your differences aside for a while? Besides Maria it was a space wind that hit Dayvon, you guys just have to fly carefully. Especially with this powerful pull the gloobas are causing.” Quentin pages the two trying to calm tensions down.
“Fine Dayvon, sorry for that outburst” Maria says in disgust.
The two continue on straight until a huge asteroid comes at their direction. In fact there are several huge sized asteroids that cannot be shot due to their sheer size. Maria heads to the far left, while Dayvon heads to the far right to avoid the first asteroid. She tries to stay to the left seeing the asteroids are mostly to her right. However space winds similar to those that pushed Dayvon, push Maria towards the asteroids. He slows down and when he sees an opening, he speeds up the ship to get through. He breaks through the opening, just as the two king sized asteroids made contact with each other. As for Maria she is surrounded by the huge asteroids. Dayvon turns around to see that his partner was trapped and he needed to guide her out before she got crushed into pieces.
