It was a frighteningly cold night, the winds had picked up and were kicking early winter snow drifts across the barren lands,The nuclear winter that the earth had been under for the past 3 years had yet to show any signs of clearing, despite the new tech the scientists had promise would take care of the global problem.
It had been three years too long for Robin skyes, three years of flying recon over what was left of northeast California, desolate cities stretched out under her Xarma 7 PRFS (Powered Recon Flight Suit) the biting cold was staved off by her X7PRFS’s internal heating system. Though her body felt warm her heart remained as cold as the land she flew over.
“Three years, Three Goddamned years” Robin thought to herself, three years since THEY appeared over earth, Three years since they launched their campaign against her home planet. In nearly seven days, the creatures known as the Tyuifon(tie-fon) had swiftly launched an all out offensive on every continent on earth, the attacks had come so fast and so swift the Tyuifon had effectively suppressed any sort of counterattack that could be mounted against them.
No demands were made, no threats, nothing, just complete destruction and if that wasn’t enough there was one simple transmission from the unexpected arrivals. One and it had read simple this “Suffer” …Suffer… not even five hours after this transmission was received worldwide all satellites on earth picked up the presence of “Apothis 1919” an asteroid that was thought to be of a “Collision Class ” back in the early part of the last century was now on a direct course with the planet earth.
What was worse the Tyuifon had attached “something” to Apothis, causing it to lurch its way from the outer solar system towards earth-It was unstoppable, crashing it’s way through the planet’s atmosphere and landing in the middle of Europe, gouging out an area of land comparable in size to the state of Pennsylvania. The aftermath was exactly what scientist had forecasted, a giant cloud of ash and dust spread across the Atlantic and eventually engulfed the whole world, the storms,Tsunami’s and weather changes were all by earth scientist who had theorized what an asteroid impact would do to the earth forseen.
What the scientists did not for see was the incumbent. “Incumbent” Robin, despite the heating of her power suit, shivered at the thought. Incumbent was at one point used to describe a politician in power. Now it was the designated code name for a massive creature that crawled out of the crater made by Apothis 1919. At first its presence was not apparent. Much of the worlds organizations were too busy dealing with the disaster.
It wasn’t until reports of a giant creature started making it’s way through the channels did the politico’s took the time to investigate. What they found truly astonishing. A creature, which would best comparable to tick was slowly making it’s way east bound trough Europe. What military might that could be mustered at the time to meet the beast was easily swept aside by the incumbent, It was almost unstoppable, Not only was the creature of immense size-it carried hundreds of smaller creatures on it’s body,which helped in the creatures defense.The devastation wrought by the behemoth was unfathomably since it’s “arrival” thousands had been killed and millions more have had to relocate
