"This is it, soldiers!" an extremely loud voice woke me up. I had fallen asleep while sitting down and was dreaming of cream puffs. It was a nightmare. My five-year-old daughter was feeding me cream puffs until I couldn't breath, then she suddenly turned into one of those abominations. Weird thing was instead of killing me, it kept on feeding me cream puffs. Those disgusting sweet little things.
Shaking my head to completely wake myself up, I felt a knuckle land on the top of my head.
"I know you are tired soldiers, but do not let your guard down!" The noisy man was my superior officer, the captain of my squad. "You do not know when those bugs would suddenly attack."
A few years ago, an alien species descended on Earth and consumed almost everything they set their eyes on. They ate concrete buildings and metal structures, including the humans inside. They were called Fidmeialath, because they were making buzzing noises that sounded like, "Feed me! Feeeeed me!".
The Armored Suit was developed to combat them. It was shortened to ArmS, and soldiers were trained to use them. ArmS provided exceptional physical boost, increasing a soldier's physical strength, reflex, reaction speed, and firing accuracy. Paired with the specially developed plasma rifles that never runs out of ammunition, they were able to hold the aliens back.
But it didn't take long before the aliens adopted strategies to adapt to the situation. Once again, humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction. Desperate, humans built a spaceship to take the last survivors to a far away planet with the same atmosphere as Earth.
Me and my squad were now protecting the area where the spaceship will be launched.
We took our posts after the long lecture, and received a radio transmission, congratulating us on a job well done, and that the spaceship Last Light was about to take off.
That was when everything went wrong.
"What the f——!" a voice cursed in the radio as I felt a large tremor. I turned around and saw something I would never forget for the rest of my life, which was probably limited to at most an hour from now.
"Feeeeeeeed meeeeeeeeeee!" an ear-piercing buzzing sound shook the air. It was a Fidmeialath, but it was not an ordinary one. Normally, they were around 3 to 7 feet large. This one was taller than the Empire State Building.

"Aren't you a bit overkill!" I screamed as I put my helmet on and readied my plasma rifle. I dashed in the direction of the giant Fidmeialath which came out of the ground near the spaceship. Bright glowing bullets rained into the air as we all shot at the alien. The damage we were doing was too small compared to its huge size.
"Shit! It's going down!" another voice crackled in the radio. What's wrong with it going down? Weren’t we trying to bring it down? My thoughts were disrupted as the giant form bent its back and opened its mouth, revealing a circular hole lined with thousands of giant sharp teeth. It then went down on the spaceship, gulping it whole!
"Noooooooo!" I screamed my lungs out, continuing my rapid fire at the alien. It soon disappeared into the hole it bore into the ground. Nothing was left behind. No Last Light. No last hope.
"There's more of them!" "Gaaah!" "Stay away!" "I don't wanna die!" "Noooooo!" "Mamaaa!" "I'm still a virgin!"
Voices crackled in the radio as my squad members died one by one. I turned around to see a black wave approach. It was a horde of Fidmeialath.
Filled with madness I raised my plasma rifle and rained bullets at the approaching wave, killing as many as I could.
"Hahahahaha! Die you bugs! Die! I'll kill you all for taking everything away from me! My wife, my daughter, my family, my friends!"
Bullets continued to fire as I seem to hear some sort of movie music playing in my ear with a sad melody.
"Enjoy it... while it... lasts." It was the captain. It seems like he played the song through the radio before he died.
"I appreciate it," I said. There was no response. I was the last one alive.
This was the end of humanity.
"Feeeeeed!" "Feed me!" "Feeeed meeee!" Those were the last things I heard along with the crunching sound of my bones.
