I T   I S   N O W  up to you and the world.   These had been the last words uttered to Madam Victoria Courtney by the President of the United States.   The short middle-aged woman was seated in her office when disaster had struck and stealing a quick glance from her tiny platinum wrist watch, the short thin silvery hour hand strip lying between “1” and “2” while the longer minute hand strip pointing directly at “6” — one and a half hours had passed since the first ‘invasion’. The one that had hit the west coast in San Francisco.   The reason why of all people the President had decided to engage in one of the most complicated conversations with her was because of her authoritative status of course.   Victoria Courtney, or as she was formally addressed, Madam Secretary; was the Chief Executive head of the US Department of Defense and her line of work could not have been of utte

S E V E N T E E N  M I N U T E S  E A R L I E R , back in Virginia, the whole of the Pentagon together with the rest of the world leaders from the UN Summit were about to witness the planet’s aerial combatants deployed by the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force under the command of the Secretary of Defense; take on the looming threat that had already wreaked havoc in places like San Francisco and Berlin. The command from the Secretary was received immediately on an island military base located on the Atlantic, several miles away from the mainland of New York. Lieutenant Terence James, the Ace of the deployed unit, got into his own craft, did a system routine check, put on his oxygen mask and helmet then brought the craft’s engine to life. The Lieutenant’s jet cruised along the runway, quickly picking up speed before leaping into the air not less than ten seconds later and was followed by six ot

He turned to look at the creatures that were then only a foot away.   Having run out of options, the man frantically raised his arms over his head and awaited to be stampeded by hordes of ali

The white flashes seemed to be moving exceptionally faster than the green and blue. Viper powerfully thrust her arms up and down across her chest, cutting through the air and was sure she was clocking at her highest speed, moving close to twenty times faster than the speed of sound as she hurtled through the Kennedy Space Center. Her spe
