Jada swerved the car to the right, now heading away from the entrance of the shelter.
“we need to pick Rhoda and the rest of your colleagues that we left on the mountain tell me your plans and make it as simple as I can understand” she said knowing that Astra usually comes up with ideas that require time to fully be understood by others, and time is one thing that they don’t have.
With gleaming eyes, Astra could not hide her excitement. “the plan is quite simple, the skin may be though but its face is not. Specifically its eyes. I have been trying to shoot it in the face but it keeps dodging my shots even at the cost of slowing it down. It doesn’t bother to dodge any of our shots because it knows that the bullets won’t hurt it. My belief is that it is dodging only the shots that can hurt it. So to cut the plan short, I intend to use one of Tim’s stun bombs and use the ceremonial javelin, strapped with chrome chains and stab it in the eye while it is still stunned” she said.
“I get that we could restrict it to the car having hooked it up, but then what?” Jada asked
“now we all jump out while you drive the car off of a cliff. That should at least be enough to kill it, even if it doesn’t, we can use the interval before it climbs back up”. She answered. While going through the items in the trunk of the car, she picked out a thick silver colored rod and raised it out.
From her right, Khan has pulled out the chrome chains which are also shining silver in color, she collected the chain and turned to look at Jada who is sitting in the front seat of the rover and focused on their escape. From the side mirror, she saw what Astra is trying to do.
“wait, we need to divide ourselves into two groups and try to deal with the alien while the other group will go to get Rhoda’s team to the chrome shelter,” Jada said. She pulled out two keys and gave one to Khan who is the strongest of the four and the other to Tim.
“take the hoverbikes on the right, and head to Rhoda’s position, merge the bikes and try not to draw the attention of any other aliens, these things are killing machines.” She added
Tim and Khan reloaded their guns put them in their bags, they both moved to the right side of the rover and pulled the two levers to the side of the door, instantly two motorbikes which have two exhaust-looking structures instead of wheels. Both Khan and Tim inserted the keys Jada has given them and started the hoverbikes, climbing on top of the hoverbikes and swerving in the opposite direction towards the hill.
The alien that Is chasing the rover did not hesitate even for a second to look at the two as their hoverbikes floated away from the rover at a speed that is twice that of the rover. While the rover is limited to having wheels rolling o the vehicle, rolling on the rocky surface, and bruising her elbows and knees that hit the rocks. The alien monster quickly started using its forearms and started trying to pull the javelin out but the wings on its head have hooked enough flesh that it just won’t come out, not only that but this made it have to run fast enough to keep up with the rover otherwise it would just rip through its mouth flesh and drive off.
Jada is aware that the direction she is currently accelerating towards has a cliff that goes down a few tens of meters long, once the rover is almost there she jumped out of her seat into the air to the left, just enough to avoid the claws of the alien monster before the Rover plummeted down the cliff and dragging it down with it.

EPISODE FIVE“I told you they will not abandon us, Professor Jada and Astra aren’t like that so unless if they had no other choice but to flee, Astra never leaves anyone behind”, Jamie said, looking at professor Jada with a facial expression that exposes his reverence for her, especially having just saved his life.“No you didn’t say that!” Rhoda objected.“what do we do now?” Astra asked Jada, walking around the dark area surrounding the small light that the screens on the door showing the entrance to the shelter behind he door.Jada picked out a pen torch from the breast pocket on her shirt and turned it on, shooting a small stream of light through what they all realize is now a large open area that sits in the cover of the darkness.Jada walked to the left of the gate, using her pen torch to light her way through the darkness, followed from behind by all of the students.&ld

“What have you realized, Carter? We are in desperate need of information about these creatures so share it with us!” one of the military Generals seated said in a shout.Currently, there are forty-seven people seated in the meeting hall, among which are the president of the global human federation, his direct deputy and all the important political and military faces on the planet.It is no new thing for Carson to hijack an entire presentation in the meeting hall and turn it into a lecture that everyone will be happy with at the end of the day.

He raised his head to look in the direction of the president, who sits in a large P-cube, one of Carter’s inventions that provides an absolute defense against almost all kinds of attacks, it combines layers of different types of bulletproof and shockproof glasses in a cube, with his own oxygen tank inside, once he locks himself inside, his
Invasion: the apocalypse 1.7
(BACK AT THE CHROME SHELTER) Astra has been at the guard watch duty, her assigned role after Jada had finished coordinating them to clean up the inner shelter had been to keep watch of the entrance and she has been sitting and watching all the live feeds from the hidden cameras outside the gate of the Chrome shelter. It has been a day since they arrived. At night Mila could see nothing on the screen because it was dark and there was no lighting outside to avoid drawing the attention of the alien crawlers. The next day at the break of dawn, while she was monitoring the outside of the gate, she noticed something peculiar. There was noise being picked up by the microphones of the hidden cameras outside the gate. She called Jada’s attention, and the two of them watched a cloud of dust gather and dissipate as a hovering bus arrived at the gates of the shelter. There are about twenty people inside. “These must be from the neighboring cities we were talking about yesterday,” Astra thought
Invasion: the apocalypse 1.8
The crawlers moved quickly and scattered around the large parking space of the shelter. The group started shooting at them as they jump up and down, dashing around at unbelievable speed. ‘something about them is different. They weren't as fast as this, so why are they suddenly so fast? Astra thought. Nevertheless, I must stop them from crossing into another part of the shelter. There are helpless people that cannot protect themselves. She reminded herself and changed her assault rifle firing mode to single shots. She stood for a few seconds and tried to read the movements of the crawlers; she realized they were trying to avoid being shot on the head by jumping around; they became faster than just an hour ago, so it must either be the effect of the larger one that awakened them with a growl or the fact that they have just eaten. Maybe it is because they ate human flesh, she thought, but realized that it would be best to just fight at the moment, then figure out what is strengthening

Astra walked around the inner bunker and examined it, two-fifth of it is a food storage that is filled with protein bars and drinking water while the rest of the bunker contains the general area where she figured they will be used for sleeping. It also contains a bathroom with taps and a heater. ‘The entire area is made for two people, but there are currently five of us. The general area has a long couch. She walked to it and sat on it. Slowly, the reality that Jada has died came back to her and a sudden feeling of sadness and loss hit her like a brick wall. She sat I the couch, put her head against her knee and started shedding tears profusely. ‘I have lost her. After all the years of caring for me like I was her own child, training me so that I can one day be able to protect myself, I could do nothing to save her; when she died, I was there, but I was not strong enough, she thought. “I am not strong enough to help you.” She said out loud and started crying. Khan stood from where

The three other leaders looked at each other hearing the manner in which king Near spoke to them. They immediately realized that they might have fallen into the wrong side.They turned to king Skar again and looked at him without saying a word to him. Then he began to speak again when he was sure that the last thing he said sank into their heads just the way he wants them to understand “first of all. I am going to be the supreme leader of all the houses combined together. The three of you are going to be my subjects that will answer to me. If you agree to that, you can go back and tell your subjects and also denounce your throne as kings. This is the only condition on which you will be joining the salvation ship to Terra, otherwise, you stay here and die”Shina, Jeroth and Akaris were speechless for a while trying to be sure that king Skar isn’t joking or mistaking. They kept looking at him in the most awkward manner. King Jeroth stood up and walked towards skar, then he turned after
