“Search for any stones.” John said.
“Oh, here you go.” Susan picked a loose stone from the side of the asphalt and handed it to John. “Will it be enough?”
“I guess so.” John said.
“Guys, hurry before the wolfdogs find us.” Willy said.
John smashed at the glass window using the stone. The glass shattered and it sprinkled everywhere.
John quickly got inside through the now created doorway. Willy and Susan followed. There is lot of guns stacked neatly. John took an M-16 and a revolver and lots and lots of ammo. John’s pant pockets are filled with ammo and an ammo belt is strapped across his chest. Willy and Susan took two revolvers and some ammo.
“It’s enough for me. What about you guys?” John asked.
Willy looked at Susan’s face. “I think we are good too.”
“Ok then let’s find our way to the harbour.” John said.
John, Willy and Susan went outside through the broken window.
“If we have a map or something like that it would be a tremendous help.” Susan said.
“No problem.” John break the glass of a nearby car and opened the front door.
John came back with a big map in his hands.
“Ok let’s see...Harbour is this way. Follow me.” John said looking at the map.
John start to walk through the snow covered asphalt. Susan and Willy followed John. They walked and walked until their legs are really tired.
“How much longer should we walk?” Susan asked.
“Harbour is near. Don’t worry.” John said.
In a distance chirping of the sea birds can be heard.
“We are really close.” Willy said.
“Yes we are.” John said.
Finally they saw the endless ocean in the distance. Everyone ran for the beach. Beach is covered in snow but there are sea birds all over the place.
“We need to find a good boat.” John said.
“Boats are that way.” Susan said pointing to a boat parking lot where hundreds of boats lay on the beach.
All three of them walked beside the boats and looked through the pile for a better boat. All boats are covered in snow. Finally John picked a medium sized boat. They all pushed the boat toward the ocean water. Within minutes the boat is on the water. Suddenly a screech came from their back.
Chapter 57
Xhandervilla, Green Planet
The wolfdogs rushed at the human soldiers. Soldiers, without thinking pressed the trigger. All the creatures dropped to the ground instantly. But then the Xhilarians begins to shoot everywhere to the trees. There is about twenty Xhilarians who have now emerged from the ship. Soldiers fired back.
The Nano robots quickly fly inside the ship and start to fire. Five of the Nano robots surround the ship and fired at the Xhilarians.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Plasma bolts and laser bolts exploded in mid-air. Xhilarians shoot back using their gigantic laser guns. Then suddenly the ship ascended in air and starts to shoot in all directions. Two robots exploded and also three soldiers immediately went down. Samson threw two magnetic flash grenades at the ship. The grenades quickly gets attached to the ship and after a moment the grenades exploded creating a bright light all over the place, but the ship still stays without much damage. Surely the Xhilarians close by should have heard the explosions and will be coming here at any minute from now on.
Other soldiers also threw their grenades when they saw the successful blast. The robots who got inside the ship came outside and the grenades exploded with a loud bang. The ship quickly went down. After the ship crash landed it exploded into pieces like a firework.
“Holy smokes!” One of the soldier said.
All the Xhilarians and the wolfdogs nearby killed in the explosion. Samson gestured at the soldiers to continue the course to the city of Xhandervilla. Soldiers nodded and carefully moved inside the forest on the other side of the grassland. Suddenly soldiers detected movement from the nearby woods. Soldiers on the front row gestured at the soldiers on their back to stop and ready for anything. Soldiers quickly hide behind the trees. Now they are really invisible to the enemies coming from the front because the thick trees cover them entirely. Nano robots quickly fly in the air at the height of trees and put their hands forward. Quickly the robotic arms halved and the fire chamber of plasma cannons came out.
After a moment about fifty Xhilarians ran through the forest toward where earlier the explosion happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The plasma cannons of the robots roared at high pitch sound. Xhilarians in the front row went down. Rest of the Xhilarians quickly trained their gun toward the Nano robots who are in the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Laser guns of the Xhilarians also roared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Robots fired back plasma bolts in all directions. Some of the laser bolts hit the robots but they didn’t inflict much damage on their high-tech body. About ten Xhilarians went down. All the Xhilarians concentrated their fire power on the robots. Samson quickly gestured at the soldiers that it’s time. All soldiers quickly discard their cover and came in front of the Xhilarians pointing their guns. Some Xhilarians quickly noticed the humans but it was too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Human soldiers’ plasma guns erupted and all the Xhilarians went down. Some of the Xhilarians managed to align their guns at the humans but it was in vain since the robots are in the air who aren’t stopped firing.
After a moment quietness took over the whole place. Even the birds have disappeared. The place filled with smell of burned skin. Samson and team slowly moved forward. Wolfdogs are less in number here indicating there is not much humans left here, may be not at all. If there is humans here they must be in the Xhilarian prison or have died in experiments.
Finally soldiers saw the sign of buildings. They are at Xhandervilla city now. In the entrance of the city there is a big sign board which reads Welcome to Xhandervilla. Everyone slowly entered the city with extra caution. Samson switched on the tablet strapped in his wrist. It began to show the location of Sam and Jesse as green dots. They seemed to be inside a building.
“Ok, everyone, we will now split into two groups and one group go in that direction and the group with me will go in this direction. We will surround the target building in all directions. Robots will watch over us from the skies. Stuart, give me your tab. I will sync the location of Sam and Jesse with your tab.” Samson said.
Stuart handed over his tab to Samson. With a swipe both tabs now shows the location of their fellow friends.
“Ok. Move now.” Samson said.
Soldiers quickly divided into two groups and went in two directions cautiously. The tabs began to beep with each step indicating they’re nearer to Sam and Jesse. Samson leaded the soldiers to a big building situated possibly in the middle of the town. They all watched the building with caution. Samson took his binocular from his back pack and looked through it. The image before him induced a little panic inside him. There is two Xhilarian ship on top of the building and an army of Xhilarians are standing on the top floor.
“Stuart do you copy?” Samson asked through the radio.
“Loud and clear.” Stuart said back.
“Change of plans. We are going to save Sam and Jesse who are in the ground floor possibly captured by the Xhilarians and then we are going to blow that building to the ground. How copy.” Samson said.
“Loud and clear.” Stuart said.
Samson and team quickly went inside the building. There was no Xhilarians nearby and the door was already opened ajar. Xhilarians on the top floor haven’t detected the human presence yet. Fortunately there is no wolfdogs around to smell them. Meanwhile Samson and team were trying to extract Sam and Jesse, Stuart and team laid charges everywhere around the building.
A loud speech in the unknown language came from a nearby room. Samson and team carefully stood outside. The door is locked from inside.
/>
“What were you doing in Hudsonvilla? Are you trying to destroy our secret facility? How come you became aware of that?” Possibly a device translated.
“I told you already, we don’t know anything about your secret crap. All we are trying to do was a regular lookout mission.” Sam’s voice echoed inside the room.
“Don’t lie to us. Your punishment will be severe. I promise you that.” The creature said through the device.
Samson Gestured at the soldiers to get ready. Samson knocked on the door and one soldier stood directly in front of the door pointing the gun, his fingers on the trigger.
“I told you already I don’t need anything.” The creature opened the door slightly.
Immediately the creature went down with a wide hole in its head. Samson quickly opened the door using his gun and pointed at the creature who is looking at Samson with disbelief. That creature also went down by Samson’s plasma bolt.
“We will leave now.” Samson unbind Jesse and Sam.
They all ran outside the building. As soon as they are outside Stuart pressed the remote switch.
Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!
The building all itself collapsed to the ground along with the Xhilarians and their ships.
“That was a solid piece of work you have done yourself.” Samson said to Stuart and his team.
“Are we going to return to base now?” Stuart asked.
“No. We have one final thing to do. We are going to Hudsonvilla. It’s near from here and there is supposedly an enemy secret base. We are going to destroy it like this.” Samson said. All nodded.
Chapter 58
Unknown Location, Earth
“We should nuke those bastards.” An old man around in his fifties said to a group of people sitting around a round table.
The room is white in colour without any stains. There are guards standing in the doorway listening to the conversation taking place in the small room. There are also beautiful plants growing in pots inside the room too.
“We have to think about this clearly Lorenz.” Another old man with long hair and beard said.
“But we are not doing anything good. Since our fighter jets shot down one of their battle ship, we should release more fighters. They bleed like us, which means we could kill every last one of them. And we really need to find what they want with us. There are reports about gigantic machines landed near major places. We can’t wait here while they hunt our kind without showing any mercy.” Lorenz said. “It’s time we think about nuclear solutions”
“You do realize that if we are using nuclear weapons we are killing our self?” The old man asked.
“I am well aware of that. But we can’t allow those bastards to kill any more of us. Our citizens have turned to monkeys. Did you forgot that? We need to cut them of entirely.” Lorenz said.
“What is your plan?” The old man asked.
“Xhilarian mother ship is on earth’s orbit. I say we nuke that ship. There may be thousands of Xhilarians on board. If we are doing it, we could cut down their number dramatically.” Lorenz said.
“But if those bastards are in our orbit there will be higher probability for a nuclear fallout. We are not ready to tackle a situation like that. We are already grieving for our turned citizens. Is there any news from planet Green?” The old man asked.
“Yesterday we have been contacted by Thomson and they are saying that they are nearer to finding a cure for the monkey disease.” One of the men said.
“That’s a good news. That also means that we could save all those human monkeys and we can’t destroy our future using a nuclear weapon since only one man think it is the only solution.” The old man said.
Everyone nodded.
“This meeting is then dismissed. Return to your posts.” The old man said.
Everyone stood up and left the scene.
***
Lorenz walked outside the facility. The facility is deep inside a forest and trees are growing thickly here. Lorenz take out his phone and dialled a number.
“Captain, this is Lorenz.” Lorenz said.
“What’s the situation Lorenz? Did they agreed?” Captain asked from the other end of the phone.
“Well, they want their future without any plagues haunting them. They didn’t agree with me. You have to proceed without authorization.” Lorenz said.
“Dually noted.” Captain said.
“Where are you now?” Lorenz asked.
“We are near moon watching the Xhilarian activity.” Captain said.
“Then see you after all this is over. They may be looking for me. I have to return to my office.” Lorenz said.
“I understand. Please go.” The phone call ended.
***
“You should carry this to moon’s orbit under enemy radar.” One old man said to a young man with long hair. “USS Long Man is in Mon’s orbit. You will see it when you get there.”
“I will carry this.” The young man entered inside the small ship.
In the ship’s cargo area lay tens of warhead. The warheads are labelled as Nuclear Warhead, Use with Caution. The ship quickly ascended in the air and within seconds the ship left earth. The ship can now see as a tiny dot from earth.
Chapter 59
Hudsonvilla, Green Planet
Samson and other soldiers including Sam and Jesse quickly paced toward Hudsonvilla. Hudsonvilla is a major town and is situated just outside Xhandervilla forest. Enemies seemed to have aware about all the original names of these places. They definitely have hacked into Green Planet’s system network. Enemies surely knows lot about Green Planet.
With each passing second forest gets thicker and thicker. Most trees are covered with thick vines and these vines are blocking the passage for the soldiers. It’s fortunate that Stuart always keeps a razor sharp sword like weapon. Stuart walked in front line and cleared away the vines from the path. Birds are chirping loudly. It’s about noon based on the position of sun.
They are about one mile away from Hudsonvilla now. So far they haven’t seen any human monkeys yet. Everyone is wondering about them. Xhilarians probably have captured all of the human monkeys for experiments. What still peculiar about Green Planet’s residents is that they seemed to have great roads but there seemed to be no vehicles at all. Samson wondered how hard it is for them to travel. May be they had small pod ships.
In the sky rain clouds gathered and rain drops began to fall. At first it was small drops just showering at the soldiers, then it became stronger. With each passing second rain gets stronger and stronger. Samson and team socked in rain water. Soldiers stopped near a cliff. The cliff is too deep and in the distance they saw the town they are walking into - Hudsonvilla. Rain clouds are stronger there and the rain is wetting everything.
Samson and several soldiers paced along the cliff edges in search for a safer passage. Travelling is simple for the robots. They fly in the distance but didn’t wander away from Samson since he has the remote which could control them.
“Sergeant, this way.” One of the soldier called Samson.
The soldier have found a way to climb down. Samson went near the soldier and satisfied with the new path. It’s a rocky path but it will do just fine. Samson gestured at everyone to ready for climbing down. Within minutes one by one soldiers start to descend in to the cliff.
Finally everyone reached the bottom. This place is also covered with trees but they could make out the buildings in the distance.
“Ok, soldiers, be ready for anything. I can’t promise that you will be going back home, but I can promise you one thing, that these bitches are going to burn in our hell fire.” Samson said.
Everyone nodded and all carefully starts to move through the trees. Everyone reached the back of a building in seconds.
“We will spilt into small groups. It will be easier then.” Stuart suggested.
“Ok, we will split.” Samson said.
Without any further commands soldiers quickly split into small groups and
starts to move forward. There is no wolfdogs to be seen. They must be deployed away from Xhilarian bases. These Xhilarians aren’t expecting an attack in the heart of their colony for sure. Samson’s group looked through the glass window of a building. There seemed to be no one home. Here building are neatly arranged in a matrix shape and beautiful flowers are grown in the yard of each buildings. The pavement is made using beautiful stones.
Samson looked at a distant building through his binocular. There is no one to be seen. Samson shifted his gaze to another place. Suddenly he detected a movement behind a building which is entirely made of glass. Samson looked carefully. There seemed to be a gigantic machine behind the glassy building. How could they have missed something like that big in the first place? Samson carefully walked near to the glassy building pointing his gun. Other members in his team followed him.
