Chapter 6 Invasion
About a week later Anna was in her science class feeling rather anxious. This was because she didn't know when the Cardinal 13 would show up and she wasn't excited for what would happen when that time comes. Flare has not yet informed her or Zinsu about anything related to them yet. However Anna felt like they'd arrive any second now and it was killing her.
Zinsu felt this but he didn't know what to do to help Anna calm down. All he could do was move her body to answer her quiz questions, as they were now taking the quiz Flare had mentioned last week. He knew all the answers to the quiz so it wasn't hard for him to answer them. Flare also never told him that he couldn't help Anna so he felt like it was alright to do this. Anna of course could feel Zinsu moving her body, but she didn't mind that much, as she couldn't focus on her quiz right now.
'Oh god! What do I do when the Cardinal 13 shows up?! How can I protect my friends and family?! And how can I even tell any of them about Zinsu or even explain it?!' Anna thought to herself nervously.
"Okay class pencils down now, I'll now collect your quizzes and grade them. Expect them by tomorrow, and you'll see how you did on it." Flare said, getting everyone's attention.
The whole class then put their pencils aside and waited for Flare to come and collect their papers. As Flare collected the quiz, she secretly slipped something into Anna's hands when she took the quiz out of Anna's hands. After Flare moved on to the next student Anna secretly opened the note to see what was on it.
It read "Anna you need to get your friends to your grandparents house. I got word that the Cardinal 13 will arrive today. Thankfully we got the warp device installed in the house without them knowing. So once they arrive there shouldn't be any trouble with getting you all out of here. If your friends have any people they want to be brought to safety just inform me and my crew will do just that."
After Anna finished reading the note she felt even more anxious, but happy that she could get her loved ones to safety. She also felt happy that they'd also get Shelly and Vincent's loved ones to safety as well. Anna had never met Shelly and Vincent's families as their schedules never gave them the time to do so. So she doesn't know who they are, but now they can also be saved when the time comes.
Soon class was dismissed and the students left the classroom to go to their next class. As Anna left she thought about what she could say to her friends and family about Zinsu and the Cardinal 13.
"Hey Anna! How was science class?" Anna heard Shelly ask.
She looked over her shoulder and saw Shelly walking over to her, with a bright smile on her face.
"Hey Shelly, it went well. I was a bit nervous while taking the quiz, but who isn't?" Anna asked.
"Hehe Right, that's always nerve wracking." Shelly said.
"Hey, you want to go to my grandparents house after school. I want to also bring Vincent along as well, if that's alright with you?" Anna asked, hoping Shelly would say yes.
"Oh, well I've never been to your grandparents house before hmm..." Shelly said before going into deep thought.
Anna stood there praying that Shelly would accept as she didn't want to lose her best friend. Shelly was the first person Anna became friends with at this school, and the only other person who helped her out. With Shelly Anna was able to deal with the grief of her parents death much better and healthier. So she wanted Shelly to come with her and be safe as the last thing she wanted was to lose such a great friend.
"Alright I'll go! You always tell me your grandmother makes the best cookies ever right! So I'll go with you and Vince." Shelly explained.
Upon hearing this Anna was overwhelmed with relief and joy, as she could now keep her best friend safe. The two then went to their next class together, as they were walking they saw Vincent up ahead.
When Anna saw him she called out "Vincent over here!"
Vincent looked behind him and saw Anna speed walking up to him. He smiled when he saw her coming up to him and he fully turned around, he then opened his arms welcoming Anna into a hug. Anna jumped into Vincent's arms happily and the couple embraced each other lovingly.
"Hey Anna, you seem to be in a good mood today." Vincent said.
"Yeah, and I want to know if you want to go to my grandparents place later today?" Anna asked.
"Sure, I had a lot of fun last time we were there so I'd love to go again." Vincent explained.
"Awesome! I'm so glad you want to go!" Anna exclaimed happily.
"Yay! It's gonna be a lot of fun with you there Vince!" Shelly exclaimed happily.
"Hey Shelly I didn't know you were going to come.
"That's great, I enjoy time with my friends. Now let's go to our next class before we end up with- AH!" Vincent was cut off when a wave of students ran past him.
"What the heck?!" Shelly exclaimed as more and more students ran past them.
Vincent managed to grab a male student as he wanted to get some answers as to what's going on.
"Hey, what's going on here?! Why is everyone here running like there's a little delve behind them?!" Vincent asked, annoyed with the situation.
"Dude there's something outside! Some strange spaceship just appeared outside of the school. It's about 12 feet from the school gate, you gotta check it out, it's awesome!" The male student explained excitedly.
He then pulled out of Vincent's grip and ran to the school exit.
"What the?! What in the world is he talking about?!" Vincent asked, severely confused.
"I don't know, I think we should investigate along with everyone else." Anna suggested.
"Yeah I think we should, and see if that is really true or not." Shelly said.
The three friends all followed the other students to the school's entrance. Once they were outside of the building they had to push past a variety of other students to get to the gate. They soon managed to get to the gate and when they did they saw that indeed there was a spaceship sitting 12 feet away.
"Wow Okay that's kinda cool." Vincent said, he then got out his phone and took a picture.
Anna looked at the ship in amazement, but that didn't last long when she felt Zinsu peeking out of her shirt. She quickly put her hand over him to keep him out of sight of the other students and her friends.
"Anna! You, Shelly, and Vincent all need to get out of here now!" Zinsu exclaimed quietly and clearly in a panic.
"What why?" Anna asked quietly as she could manage.
"That's the ship of Cardinal 13's leader AKA Gaxtion!" Zinsu explained.
When Anna heard that she froze instantly, she didn't expect them to be here now. She went into fight of flight mode at this news, so many thoughts were flying through her head like if the world's fastest jets were on steroids. Zinsu felt Anna's body freeze up and go into it's fight or flight more. He'd done enough research to understand how this can affect a human's thinking and actions. So he didn't do anything as he didn't want to make Anna panic any more than how much she'd already been.
Then to the other students' amazement, but to Anna and Zinsu's horror the ship's door slowly opened. Then two aliens wearing sky blue armor, while also holding laser guns, had marched out of the ship. The two aliens had unnaturally long and skinny limbs, their skin was also dark blue, and they had two tentacle-like eye's on the top of their head. The two then stepped aside and then another alien started coming out of the ship.
As this alien came out Zinsu shook violently in fear in Anna's shirt and body. Anna gently held on to Zinsu as if trying to calm him down, it helped a little, but Zinsu was still scared. This was because the alien that was now coming out of the ship was the same one that had killed Galiz. The memory still haunted him and he was worried that the same thing would happen to Anna. However he knew that if they tried to hurt her he'd have to do what he could to stop them. Anna was more than just his new host now, she was also his new friend, even if she thinks he's a dick he'd still gotten attached to her quickly.
The Cardinal 13 leader then came out fully and everyone was disturbed to see him as he wasn't pretty looking. He had eyes on random parts of his body, he didn't have any legs and just slithered around, and his body looked like blobby slime. His skin itself was a green and yellow mix that was slightly translucent, some of his inners could be seen, and some of his organs were even misshapen.
Most of the students felt sick at this sight and some started gagging, others fainted at the sight of this horrendous creature. Anna also started gagging as well as the aliens' look was horrific and seeing his inners want helpful in making it any better.
The blob alien looked around at the humans in the area, to everyone it seemed like he was trying to find someone. Anna herself knew that he was indeed trying to find someone, or in other words, he was trying to find Zinsu.
"Zinsu, come out now! I know you're here, my scouts have informed me that you are merged with a new host. That said host is a student in this school, so it'd be wise of you to show yourself now." Gaxtion said.
All the students and teachers, who had just arrived in time to hear Gaxtions words, started whispering amongst themselves.
"Who are they talking about?" One student asked.
"I don't know." Another replied.
Anna stood there still frozen in place, unsure of what to do or what to say. She didn't want to try and talk to Zinsu as she feared that they'd hear her and realize he's merged with her.
Gaxtion started getting impatient as he didn't get an answer out of Zinsu. He didnt know which human Zinsu was merged with, as his scouts never got a good look at the human. However they were able to find out the human was in this school, this did limit his search. With his patients now done with, he decided to force Zinsu to show himself as he knew Zinsu would defend any innocent life.
"Men! It looks like Zinsu is being a stubborn Plavacack, and wont show himself. So let's force him to come out! ATTACK THE HUMANS!" Gaxtion commanded his alien men.
The two aliens nodded their heads and then they blasted the gate with their guns and the lasers melted the gate into metal mush. The students all screamed in terror and started running back into the building. Some teachers started helping the students into the school while others called the police.
Vincent and Shelly both grabbed Anna by the arms and they practically tried to drag her into the school. However the three all tripped on the stone stairs that led into the school and fell onto the ground below. They then heard heavy footsteps running up to them and the ground below them vibrating from the footsteps. The three looked back and saw one of the aliens pointing a gun at them. They all screamed and held each other as the alien was about to pull the trigger.
However Zinsu bursted out of Anna's shirt and formed two tentacles with blades on them from his body. He quickly sliced through the alien's body, which killed it instantly. The alien's body fell into pieces as its yellow blood spilled out from where Zinsu sliced them.
"Anna! We need to go now! Let's get moving!" Zinsu yelled.
This snapped Anna out of her frozen shock and she nodded at what Zinsu said. She looked at Shelly and Vicnet and saw that their faces had shock written all over them.
"ANNA WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" Vincent screamed while pointing at Zinsu.
"IS THAT AN ALIEN?! WHAT IS HE?! AND WHY IS HE IN YOUR SHIRT?!" Shelly screamed with the same amount of shock that Vincent had in his voice.
"Hehe well it's a funny story but I can't explain now! We gotta go!" Anna explained quickly.
"Ahh Zinsu, so you finally show yourself huh? I knew that trick would make you show yourself." Gaxtion said as he slithered up to Anna and Zinsu.
"GAXTION! YOUR GOING TO PAY FOR ALL YOU"VE DONE! AND FOR WHAT YOU DID TO GALIZ!" Zinsu yelled angrily.
"Oh, do you miss them? Don't worry I'll make sure the two of you are reunited, and this human can meet them as well." Gaxtion mockingly said.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Zinsu yelled then showed his bladed limbs again "I won't allow you to lay a single slimy limb on Anna! You might've killed Galiz but I won't let you kill Anna! If any of your men come near her I will kill them!" Zinsu threatened, as he didnt want to lose Anna as he's already gotten so attached to her.
"Hehe you seem to have not changed Zinsu, then again it's only been a few weeks." Gaxtion stated.
"Anna, what's going on here?!" Vincent asked, scared and confused.
"Yeah what's he talking about and what is that thing in you?" Shelly asked just as scared and confused as Vincent.
"I'll explain later but we gotta go now!" Anna exclaimed.
She then grabbed Vincent and Shelly's wrists and ran with them to the side of the gate.
"Wait Anna what are you doing?! Why are we running to the gate?!" Vincent asked.
"Just trust me!" Anna yelled.
"You thunder heads! Don't stand their! Get them!" Gaxtion commanded his men.
More aliens then came out of the ship that they arrived in and chased after Anna and her friends.
"Zinsu please help me out here!" Anna asked in a panic.
Zinsu nodded and took control of Anna's leg muscles, and allowed her to jump up and over the gate. The aliens stopped and stared in amazement, Shelly and Vincent were also amazed. This was because the fence was about eight feet tall. Once Anna, Vincent, and Shelly landed on the ground they ran away from the school.
"Anna, where are we going?!" Vincent asked.
"To my grandparents house!" Anna explained.
"What are they?!" Shelly asked, confused.
"Trust me we'll get out of here and to safety!" Anna explained as she ran.
The two just decided to go with it as neither of them had any other plan on what the hell to do. So they just followed Anna as she ran. However as the four ran more ships started to warp in the sky and land on random parts of the town. The three friends panicked as they saw this happen, and they ran faster.
"Oh crud! Zinsu what do we do?! My grandparents' house is an hour's drive from here! And it takes even longer on foot!" Anna explained.
"I don't know! Unless you can drive I can't give you any advice." Zinsu explained.
Anna groaned as she heard that, she knew they'd never get out of here on foot. She felt fear bubbling from her stomach to her heart as it started running a marathon. As they ran they noticed a car driving up to them, it soon caught up to the four of them and they stopped. The car's window then rolled down and they saw that Flare was driving.
"Kids get in! We need to get out of here!" Flare exclaimed.
"Oh thank you Flare! You're a lifesaver!" Vincent said as he got into the back of the car.
"Yes, let's get moving! Anna said we need to get to her grandparents house. I don't know why but if it'll get us out here then I'm all in!" Shelly explained as she got in and sat next to Vincent.
Anna ran to the other side of the car, opened the passenger side door and hopped inside.
"Seatbelts on kids! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!" Flare exclaimed.
The three then put on their seatbelts and Flare slammed her foot down on the gas and sped off. As they drove they saw people running around in a panic. Some were raiding stores, others were filming like idiots, and most were driving out of town.
Anna felt fear flying through her, she'd never thought that this would happen, but it was. This often happened in movies or TV shows, but no one ever thought it'd happen in real life.
After an hour Flare was able to get them all to Anna's Grandparents house without any issues. However the town where the house was had aliens warping in and the people of the town in an absolute frenzy. They all got out of the car and stood there for a bit observing the town.
"Oh dear god! I never thought this would ever happen." Vincent said.
"Me too! I hope my parents are alright!" Shelly exclaimed with worry coating her voice.
Some lines then spotted them and saw Zinsu coming out of Anna's chest.
"ZINSU! HE'S IN THAT HUMAN GIRL! GET THEM!" The alien screamed.
The others all pointed their guns at them and ran at them while firing their weapons. Anna, Shelly, and Vincent all screamed and ran to the house to take shelter. Flare however stood her ground and took off her human disguise. When Shelly and Vincent looked back to call Flare inside they were shocked to see Flare as an alien now. Anna took a look and saw that Flare had purple skin, three eyes, and six arms.
"You all get inside and lock the door! I'll warp the house out of here and go somewhere safe!" Flare explained as she fought off some aliens.
Without another word Anna pushed past Shelly and Vincent and slammed the door shut. She then locked both locks and put the chain on the door up, she could still hear the shooting, screaming, and explosions coming from outside.
"I uh! Um?! I have so many questions right now!" Vincent exclaimed.
"Me too, Anna, how are you acting so casually like this, and who's the green blob thing coming out of your chest?!" Shelly asked, confused.
"Like I said I'll explain once we're safe! But not right now! We gotta trust Flare to get us the hell out of here!" Anna explained.
"ANNA! WHAT'S GOING ON!" The four heard a woman scream.
They turned to the living room entrance, and saw Anna's aunt Carol standing there with a fireplace poker in her hands. There was yellow blood on her face, clothes, and the walls, when they looked down they saw a dead alien lying on the floor.
"Wow! Okay your aunt just beat an alien to death with a fireplace poker, that's badass." Vincent said.
"Yeah dad told me she used to be a bit of a delinquent in school. Everyone pretty much knew not to mess with her or she'd mess them up." Anna explained.
"Ugh! I think some of this stuff got into my mouth! But Anna, are you alright, and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Carol screamed as she noticed Zinsu coming out of Anna's chest.
"This is Zinsu, and don't worry he's friendly, he saved me, Shelly, and Vincent earlier." Anna explained.
"Okay, well what's going on?! Why are there aliens here and what do they want?!" Carol asked confused and scared.
"We'll explain it later, but for now we need to brace ourselves. Flare is about to warp us off this planet any second now!" Zinsu explained as he made Anna's body run into the living room.
Vincent and Shelly followed and they saw that Anna's Grandmother was holding on to her paralyzed husband. The TV was on and it had the news playing, the man on the TV was trying to explain the situation.
"This is breaking news! Aliens are real and they are trying to get into the studio! The Self defense force is in place and is trying to-OH FU-!" The news man was cut off as something attacked the cameraman.
The news then went off the air, much to everyone's horror.
"Don't worry we'll be safe! We're going to be warped to another planet where we'll be safe!" Zinsu explained.
"Wait what?! What is that thing talking about?!" Carol asked confused.
Before anyone else could say anything else they felt the whole house shake violently. They looked to the window and saw a blue and white light around the house and yard.
"What the hell! What's going on?!" Vincent asked.
"We're going to my favorite kind of planet! Don't worry it has breathable air, and food you all can eat. It also has the medical care the two old humans here will need so no need to worry about them!" Zinsu explained.
The light then disappeared and when everyone looked to the window again, they saw that they were no longer in the town.
"What the?! Anna, did the house just warp to another planet?!" Carol asked her niece, confused.
"Yeah, According to Zinsu that's what happened." Anna explained.
"I always said I wanted to go to space, but I never thought it'd be like this." Shelly said surprised.
"I never wanted to go to space, I wanted to be a real estate agent, so I never thought this would happen." Vincent said, also surprised.
Anna then looked to her grandparents with worry as neither of them had anything for a while. When she looked at them, she saw that they had passed out, thankfully they were breathing so they were alright.
She felt relief at this, but she looked to her friends and aunt and saw they were giving her that look. The look that told her that they wanted her to explain what the hell just happened to them.
She then looked to Zinsu and he also knew that they wanted an explanation out of him as well. The two sighed as they prepared themselves to explain everything, so no one would be confused anymore.
