The Green Moon
...Midgard...
..A couple days passed since Jennifer disappeared...
They had no idea where Jennifer Sweden went.All that they knew is she had disappeared during a heavy attack wave of The JellyFish Fans.It had been a couple days since she went missing.They,as in Earth,were using all their resources to keep the numbers dragging to their intended targets being nations,states,and countries.
"Nav, any word?"
Nav had been sleeping on his desk; head on the side on some papers, drooling, and hair all messy.Nav hadn't gone home last night.He quickly woke up looking caught off guard.
"I didn't drop the soap into the silence project,Ma!" Nav randomly said.
"Nav, you can have your childhood flashbacks when we're done with this war." Nav looks up towards the head guy, the one who had gotten all the corporations and many feud based groups all over the world together for this one effort. To save their home planet.This man is Jacob Strong, Senior. "Am I clear?'
Nav nods.
"Clear, sir." Nav said.
"You pulled an all nighter." Jacob said. "Any progress?"
"Sadly no." Nav said, looking over to the sizzling square scene.
"Well, what do you have?" Jacob asks.
"Last signal I got a few days ago was a computer crash from Big C." Nav said."And then a completely boot restore."
"Boot restore." Jacob repeats, raising a brow.
"A main system restore, sir." Nav said."Someone...or some force of nature."
"What would cause a computer crash for Big C?" Jacob asks.
"Something hard hit her,freezing,over-heating,some bacteria not native to Earth, a virus..." Nav lists seeing a 'get to the point' look on Jacob's face. "Anything that changes her current condition."
Nav looks around seeing that he and Jacob are the only men in the building.Nav blinks trying to convince himself that can't be real. The Happening, or some event equivalent to people disappearing while their clothes remaining, has happened.
"They're gone." Jacob said. "I want you to do another internet connection attempt for the Big C Jet."
Nav gasps.
"But..." Nav said. "That requires more than one person."
"Nav, you're a hacker." Jacob said.Nav's reaction are sort of like 'who told you that and I am not going to admit to a really hated thing' on his face."Use the bots."
"I am not that advanced in hacking." Nav said. "This isn't a movie." Nav wipes off the drool that hadn't been wiped off by using a napkin--that randomly appeared in his hand--and then drops it into a trashcan to his left side. "I can't hack into a dam, ATM's,and for the sake of hacking we can't hack alien technology."
"Use the accounts that internet kids use to evade some very serious punishment on their account." Jacob said.
"You mean Sockpuppets." Nav said.
"Yes, that's what I am talking about." Jacob said.
"I can easily send one command that will make several accounts bypass the security clearance to the military systems--" Nav saw a 'techno-babble' look from Jacob. "I'll get right to it."
"Good." Jacob said. "And then, when we come back with a response,you'll going to send out emails to the surviving people for a emergency election day." Nav's fingers flew on the keyboard. "And put it in red paint."
"Red highlight." Nav corrects Jacob.Then Nav's fingers on the keyboard came to an abrupt halt. "Wait...I was...not aware that---when the hell did The Jellyfish fans--"
"Yesterday." Jacob said. "The former members of the Avenger, who are on Earth, have been laying low; underground." He makes an eyeroll. "Just imagine the hysteria people would have done if we had broadcasted that!"
Nav's fingers continue going across the keyboard.
"What should I send, Sir?" Nav asks.
"We're sorry about Charlie." Jacob said.
"And what if there isn't enough sockpuppet's accounts?" Nav asks.
"I don't care how many internet accounts you use." Jacob said. "But do not use bank accounts."
"I'm using website accounts." Nav said.
Our scene turns back into the jet with Jennifer.The blue holographic screen pops up once entering into the atmosphere out of the Silent Bifrost.There were numerous messages; that had finally reached her at this very moment.The 'sent' dates were all different; not falling on the same day.The last message had a 'just sent' tag in yellow. The previous titles all were 'Where are you?','Jennifer!','We're losing', and more were even desperate.
The intial shock, of being gone for days in Midgard time, is seen briefly on Jennifer's face.
"Open the last message, Margret." Jennifer orders.
"Message opened." Margret announces.
The last message read: We're sorry about Charlie.
Jennifer could feel her heart break, the anger channeling through her hands,and angered towards the JellyFish fans.
"Margret, send back 'The moment has come'." Jennifer said, as heat is flaring up around the new tip and the wings. "Now!'
"Message sent." Margret said.
Jennifer's eyes are the vengeance and fury put together.
"They took the wrong man." Jennifer said, speeding towards the a scene of chaos in San Francisco.
The Silent Bifrost apparently has a connection to to fate.There were powerful hard shelled bullets skating by the smaller drones of JellfyFish machines.
"System: heating." Margret announces."Jennifer Sweden,this mission will be compromised if the engines are impaired."
The jet is rattling.
"We're taking these hard ugly beasts down." Jennifer said,taking out the hand drawn picture from her pocket then puts it somewhere along the dashboard."For Charlie!"
The jet struck against a Jellyfish machine drone knocking it towards the other drones making them in disarray.The big and long red bridge to San Francisco is seen towering over the white clouds.Jennifer presses the small red button on the top of the handle part of the jet-pilot and sends out numerous missiles towards the long dangling sharp JellyFish shaped legs.Most jet pilots,who were in her position but not in this circumstance, would not have thought about firing at that area.She takes a sharp turn to the left dodging a drone that apparently stops to reel in what had speeded past.The Queen,being big headed and arrogant enough to be there when their success is near,is right ahead merely one minute away.
"Time to detonate." Jennifer said, then quickly flips over the pilot-jet handle to reveal a big blue button that read 'activate cargo'.
Jennifer's metal hand clenched into a fist and then struck the button hard.
"Bomb; activated." Margret announces as Jennifer presses the close button. "Bomb will detonate when aircraft has crashed.Mission accomplished.Good-day; Gater."
Th door to the cockpit flips open and then Jennifer's seat is ejected but not the wheelchair part.The wheelchair itself had ejected off but not the wheels, so hence,Jennifer is in a seat.Jennifer is sent flying right, all the while in a fast speed limit far from the queen.
..Come on, come on, come on detonate! was Jennifer's thoughts feeling the breeze speed by making her red bangs be in the way of her eyes.The jet collided against the queen, who is very big honestly, making a impact that devoured the metal making it boil and break.The shock wave sent Jennifer brushing past one of the--or more like a whole row of them--Jellyfish machines.
Small, yet wide previous versions sort of airplanes are in he distance shooting down the unprotected drones.Jennifer's seat, that is really going fast, finally came to a landing yet it was not a landing because it involved knocking a huge--well technically it is big to humans but to motherships than this not impressive,and, considerably 'scout/warrior/retrievals' kind of versions--Jellyfish machine making it fall into a building.
A group of orphans, who had been what can be defined as the this unit's next victims, gape in awe.They are trembling like a leaf. Yet the surprise landing of a woman in a seat that took down a massive alien ship amazed them. Our perspective turns to where Jennifer has landed.
Jennifer's landing is rather not the expected.
She landed in a a carpet store.
"Hello?" A young boy's voice is heard. "Are you okay?"
Jennifer's eyes struggle to open to see a young boy, about the age of eight, looking over.He is one of those Orphans, and, he had decided to check out if the unexpected rescuer had survived the crash.Jennifer had crashed in to the carpet store at once taking down a JellyFish Fan machine.
"Good, you're awake. My name is Mark." Mark introduces himself. "What's your name?"
"Jenn...Jennifer." Jennifer said."Jennifer Sweden."
Mark, looking concerned, gets up.
"I'll get you a towel." Mark said. "Or something to cover your owey."
Mark went to the counter as Jennifer feels the side of her forehead.
"I feel dizzy." Jennifer said seeing blood on her fingertips.
"Got it, Miss Sweden!" Mark said, running back with a blue towel. "Here, put this on your head." Mark hands the towel to Jennifer and some baby wipes."Did you hear the explosion from the bridge?"He tremblingly looks towards the hole in the windows."Geeze,you were exceeding the speed limit on a country road."
Jennifer wraps the towel around her head.
"I..I did that." Jennifer said, cleaning her fingers using the baby wipes.
Mark looks back towards Jennifer.
"You did..." Mark said, flabbergasted. "What?"
"I killed the queen of the Jellyfish fans." Jennifer said. "And I should not lose consciousness for the time being." Jennifer could hear the cheering of some kids from outside the building. "W-W--Where's your parents?"
"The JellyFish fans caught them a few days ago." Mark said. "But still you...you...you killed the JellyFish fan's queen!"

...2016...
...On the day celebrating the one year anniversary...
"Tonight,and every-where across the world." The president announces in a speech.
There are some buildings all over the world that we can see rebuilt; better and and well done.
"We celebrate the day where we took down the most ugliest,and perhaps,disgusting creatures fans of jellyfish."The president went on. "To this day we still do not have an idea what their name actually is."
We see a house, specifically a blue and white in a street, that had a dog that once had been the entrance to a JellyFish machine.There is a dog, a husky,sitting in the doorway to this with a leash attached to the red collar.
"But despite their efforts..." The president said."To completely harvest,make us lose hope,and plow through our men and women." We can see a tombstone that read 'here lies Charlie Luke Sweden' with a date underneath and the words 'he left this world too early'. "They underestimated the American people."
Th husky dog stood up as a blue car came to a stop at the sidewalk.The passenger side door to the driver's seat opens up allowing a metal platform to slide down.A woman in a wheelchair came out holding groceries.We can see there is a platform that had allowed her to go to and out the car.The dog barks wagging his tail prancing about.
"But despite our loses and achievements because of event..." The president goes on."We have become stronger.A total of fifteen hundred Jellyfish machines were destroyed by our teamwork.The many numbers had died off.But those who didn't get slain b us were taken by...were down by the unlikeliest of all people.The people we consider to not be real, when really they're among us and we don't know it."
The prancing dog somehow unhooks itself running beside the woman in the wheelchair.We can see Mark running towards the door carrying two bags in his arms.
"On the first day of our mission to clean up, and, get rid of the remaining still living JellyFish machines...Some of them were taken care of by a couple members of Avengers, the ones who had been on earth at the time. We had gods take care of the bigger waves.And we took care of business after they had left." Mark opens the door. "We thank the Americans who gave it their all to weaken the JellyFish Fans, and failed, and to those who succeeded."
Mark presses a button that makes the stairs turn into a flat surface.
"We remember this day as 'We don't want to be conquered." There were claps heard from the speech. "And those who've had survived it and moved on, as well all do, things return to normal.Kids go back go to school,business begins running again,all the disaster in the world resumes,and so does life."
This woman is Jennifer.
"Today, I officially call it,Jellyfish take down day." The president finally said."A national holiday."
Jennifer rolls into the building followed by the Husky dog.
"Hey ma, I've been meaning to ask." Mark asks. "Why is the moon green?"
Jennifer 's fingers were resting on the flat smooth button that sends the wheelchair forwards.
"I told you."Jennifer said. We see a portrait of a crescent green moon in the middle of the hall leading from the doorway."It is Loki's doing.Come on Wilbert,sit!" Jennifer holds up a treat. "He's the the one somehow put the thought of a dare in my mind."
Wilbert wags his tail and holds his paw out making a cute eye look.
"Good boy." Jennifer said, giving the treat to Wilbert.
Wilbert grabs the big bone and runs back out to the front yard.
"But ...but." Mark said confused. "Why make a dare?"
"I wanted to see if he really were capable of magic." Jennifer admits, rolling into the kitchen. "Today, the first anniversary, is the last night you'll see the moon as green."
"So...that...was that newspaper article entitled 'Loki and the Fighter pilot' true?" Mark ask, following her into the kitchen.
We see the door closes on its own, carefully and the knob turns.It is as if someone is in the house when really there is two people.
"Not all of it." Jennifer said. "We never did have romance." Why would we have romance?, Jennifer thought about it, I do not like him that much.That entire story was a fabricated fantasy for readers. "Nor was there a troll,a Pegasus,a crazy wizard who didn't math the stereotypical picture of villains and wizards,and the logic in it is not true."
"Ma,why did you lie?" Mark asks.
"The real story is boring, and, people like to believe something bigger happened when I was gone." Jennifer said,putting the bags on the table. "But what I do not find boring is adopting you."
Mark's face turns red.
"So was Max based on me?" Mark asks.
"A little on you, a little on Charlie, and a bit on Nav." Jennifer said.
"You based him on me!" Mark said, as he gasps.
"Not completely." Jennifer said.
Jennifer knows of a little saying. When you're happy with how your life was from start to finish: that is when you can consider it as your happy ending.
