Episode 4: R.A.P.I.D
(Now we finally meet all of our main characters!!! And to give you an accurate depiction of what they look like, I'll show an image of how they appear in the comic. Their personalities may change a tiny bit, along with their stories. But that's only because the original creator AnimatedJames never provided any story and just made a character trait that isn't necessarily needed. ((I'm talking about the fart jokes. Seriously, everything else in the comic was funny or dramatic without that.))
The one on the far left is Talon! He looks a lot like the other Shades, but he's shorter than most and usually the others have different horns.
The one in the middle is Nova, who you will meet in this chapter. She's the only human in the group and like a female version of Sergeant Miles from Slendytubbies 3.
The final one on the right is Macy. The creator never explains why animal human things exist in this world, so I'm probably gonna make up a reason you'll find out later. She looks different in the beginning, actually human, but she remains a fox for the rest of the story.
So without further ado, let's begin Earth's takeover from their point of view!)
Nova wasn't like any normal girl. She and her little brother's family were basically part of the military or rather their special team R.A.P.I.D for years. She was raised to be a soldier, and she didn't mind it. It didn't stop her from having a normal childhood, she merely embraced the life of a solider. Even when she was just a kid, she took it as her duty to protect her little brother, Raymond, and rest the world on her shoulders.
She hardly took time to relax and was one of the best soldiers that the Ranked Authorized Private Investigative Defense. But she did relax a few times, and often thought that her military force was basically like a super hero movie's military. Minus the incompetence.
The only one who was able to get her to relax was her best friend and teammate, Macy, a fellow solider and mechanical genius. She was incredibly gifted, fun loving, but somehow smart enough to harness the powers of ELEMENTS OF EARTH into a blaster. And to add to that, she had an A.I. as her sidekick. She invented all of that and yet still found time to have fun and convince Nova to do so as well.
"Come on, Mace!" Nova groaned as she tried to drag her friend out of her bed, but Macy refused, practically hanging onto the edges.
"Nooooo! I wanna go back to bed!" Macy pouted before Nova finally dragged her onto the floor with a THUD. "OW!"
Nova sighed before helping her friend to her feet. "Alright, now get dressed. We have training today."
"We've missed training before, Nova. What's the shame in being a little late?" Macy asked, grabbing her gear and blaster, putting it in the holster.
"BECAUSE there could always be a mission of any kind, and each could be of great importance. And not to mention, Raymond could always try to get in a tank when he's not supposed too." Nova said as she too grabbed her gear and machine gun before walking out, Macy following with a small yawn.
"Yeah, your brother's a little crazy." Macy said as she spun her finger around the side of her head.
Nova sighed. "Yeah. Not even I can fix that."
"Remember when he was little and accidentally shot the wall with like 3 rounds?" Macy asked as they eventually headed out.
Nova snorted. "It took forever to fix that wall and replace it." She eventually started laughing before the daily training began. It was the same thing everyday. Obstacle courses, shooting practice, marching. And then wash, rinse, and repeat. It was repetitive, but not tiring. Unless of course, you were really good at it.
But then, it began. The soldiers were all marching in place before the alarm suddenly sounded. The general ran inside before seeing what was on screen and going wide eyed. But then he faced his army. "R.A.P.I.D!! MOVE TO THE CITY IMMEDIATELY!! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!!!"
"SIR, YES SIR!" They all cried in unison before entering the warehouse, getting their guns, gear, and even helmets. They even got into various tanks and jeeps before heading out. Both Macy and Nova got into a jeep before seeing someone climb in.
An 11 year old with the same skin color was Nova, and the same red hair. Nova groaned. "Raymond. Out of the jeep and back into base."
"Aw, what?!" Raymond exclaimed. "But the general said all hands on deck!"
"And that doesn't include you! Whatever's attacking could be EXTREMELY dangerous. Terrorists, invading armies, or hell monsters! I can't bare the thought of you getting hurt." Nova told her brother.
Macy then helped the little guy out of the jeep. "Don't worry, buddy. When we get back, I'll take ya for a joyride, got it?"
Raymond smiled a little with a sigh before nodding. Macy grinned before hopping into the jeep and they drove off after the rest of the army.
But when they arrived in the city's entrance. The moment the whole city went dark, they looked up and saw spaceship after spaceship after spaceship. And not only that, but an even bigger ship leading all of them. Then another giant one showed up. And then another. And then another.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?" Nova cried as she leaped out of the jeep and immediately grabbed her machine gun and pointed it at the other spaceships, which were basically just hovering around, ready to fight. Or at least, the pilots were.
"Nova, please tell me I'm not high." Macy whispered as she grabbed her blaster and stepped out of the jeep as well, getting into position to start blasting all of them with energy beams.
Nova slowly shook her head, and as the general commanded all of them to start shooting at it, Nova was hesitant, but joined in slowly. Macy did as well before suddenly, a hologram of some kind began to emerge, showing a tall and bulky creature. An alien. AN ACTUAL ALIEN. He was black, with some highlights of white and green, and his face looked like an insect almost, but more sleek and alien like.
"WHAT THE FU-" Macy shouted before Nova covered her mouth, letting her know now was not the time, but even she was still processing this.
"HUMANS OF EARTH! WE ARE THE SHADE! WARLORDS AND DESTROYERS OF THE UNIVERSE. I AM COMMANDER SHARD, AND EITHER YOU SURRENDER YOUR PLANET AND ALL OF IT'S LEADERS PEACEFULLY, OR WE TEAR YOUR ARMIES APART PIECE BY PIECE AND TAKE EARTH'S INHABITANTS AS OUR SLAVES. YOU HAVE ABOUT 3 MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE. AND IF YOU DO NOT MAKE YOUR CHOICE UNDER OR AT EXACTLY THAT TIME? WE WILL PERSONALLY START THIS SHORT LIVED WAR."
R.A.P.I.D was silent. What could they do? Contact the president to say that she had to give up the PLANET? The clock was ticking, and the general didn't know what to do. So, in the heat of the moment, he yelled at his men to grab any powerful weapon they had and fire it at the warships.
Bullets and rockets fired, causing one to explode before a bunch of aliens hopped out and TOOK the damage of the fall to the ground like it was nothing. They weren't even hurt and they fell 7 stories. Then, the aliens laughed before unleashing blades, protective guards around their arms, or energy beams.
The giant alien's hologram chuckled. "SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DESTRUCTION. WE WILL TAKE YOUR PLANET BY FORCE. AND BEFORE YOU QUESTION WHO YOU WILL HAVE TO BLAME FOR THIS? BLAME THE TRAITOR WHO LEAD US HERE."
The leader made some kind of hand signal and the aliens roared before they charged at the army, beginning the end of the world.
