The year 2120, it has been twelve years since the invasion of the beasts that Modern Weapons could do nothing against. Inside a facility somewhere in the Continent of Northern America, numerous people clad in pure white robes frantically ran around the area.

"How will our Stealth, last?"

"The Stealth will only last for twelve hours at most, Sir!" The voice that replied in a tone of hopelessness bitterly chuckled, ever since those bastards arrived out of nowhere, humanity has been constantly fighting back, but the sheer numbers of the beasts in contrast to humanity's current population still pushed them to the brink of extinction.

Now, this facility that contained the last several thousands of humans may be the last stronghold of humanity. However, it wouldn't last long. In the next twelve hours, those beasts will definitely arrive and annihilate them all.

But contrary to one's expectations, the people here still remained vibrant and joyful, as if their impending annihilation didn't exist. Instead, they smiled at each other and keep working on their task. Completing the cryogenic stasis craft so they could send their beacon of hope towards space.

A pair of husband and wife stood beside each other, staring at the cryogenic craft, complicated emotions ran through their faces. They spent a decade of their life completing this craft so that humanity's knowledge wouldn't be lost. At first, the person that would be cryogenically frozen would be chosen by a raffle.

However, his proposal was denied. No one wanted to leave their loved ones and they would rather die together with them than travel enter an uncertain journey.

When their son, Gabriel was born, they made the decision to freeze his infant body and implant him an Artificial Intelligence Chip containing humanity's knowledge that spanned several centuries of years. The plan was to send him into space to search for traces of other civilization in hopes of making him survive.

But they knew that their plan wasn't failproof. All sorts of danger existed in space, and no one knew if their son would survive the journey, alone. But still, it was better than nothing.

"Sir, the activation sequence has been completed, shall I start implementing your customized sequences?" A young man whose hands danced around the keyboard said, the middle-aged man along with his wife turned towards the young man and smiled, "Yeah, incorporate the activation sequence and start injecting the Bloodline of the Baconaua."

The young man turned pale, "Sir, are you really sure that we'll inject that Bloodline in his body?" The middle-aged man leaked a wry smile, "Yeah, What use is being human if you can't survive in the first place? Just inject it..."

His wife squeezed his arm in apprehension. The middle-aged man noticed her wife's emotions and ruffled her hair. He lifted his head and stared at the child that floated inside a tube in the three-meter tall cryogenic stasis craft.

The Baconaua was one of the monsters that emerged from the spatial crack. Only after they bombarded it with ten nuclear bombs did it die. The pair of husband and wife personally siphoned its blood essence and diluted it so that everyone on their team could evolve and adapt to the Earth's gradually harshening conditions.

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

However, he kept half of the Baconaua's blood essence for his son, so that he would become an ultimate warrior which could potentially dominate everyone in the foreign planet which he would descend.

Suddenly, blaring sounds enveloped the entire facility and everyone's expression went pale, staring at the LCD screen before them, they could see innumerable red dots approaching their facility. Those red dots signified a single beast, and their numbers alone filled everything around the facility.

"How long till they arrive?"

"About thirty minutes, sir!"

"Goddamned it, everyone! Let's hurry up! Abandon all safety protocols!"

Their faces flickered and their movements hastened. Twenty minutes later, everyone on the team sat on the ground, staring at the completed progress bar that displayed in the LCD Screen.

In just twenty minutes, they completed a process that would normally take several hours to finish. Huffing and puffing, relieved smiles leaked on their faces as everyone gathered around each other, telling stories while chugging some beers.

Both husband and wife stared at each other, smiling. Approaching their comrades, they bragged to each other about what they achieved in their small lifetime.

Soon, tears streamed down their faces and they started talking about the regrets and sins that they did in their lifetime.

"You silly, I already forgot about that matter, don't worry about it..."

"Bro, I'm really sorry about that time where I ditched you go to my girlfriend's house,"

"Shut up, you actually prioritized your hoe at that time!"

"Miss Leilah, the truth is, ever since I entered this facility, I have fallen in love with you..."

"Why did you only do this now? When everything's already too late... We don't have time to spend towards each other anymore..." Tears streamed down the cheeks of the young scientist who received her beloved's confession.

A sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the area, even the battle-hardened middle-aged man started crying his eyes out along with his wife who buried herself inside his chest.

One of the worst sensation that one could feel within their lives, was knowing that your death was just a matter of time. Though they felt relieved that they knew when they died, none of them wanted to die in the first place.

"That's enough, everyone, only five minutes left remaining, let's send this craft to space, now." The middle-aged man declared and his team calmed themselves down. Moving towards their station, their hands danced across the keyboard and soon, a fierce heat along with an explosion occurred, the jet engine's fastened on the spacecraft lifted it towards the skies.

Staring at the gradually disappearing spacecraft, a small smile lifted on everyone's lips. They felt relieved that even though they would die, they still managed to send humanity's last beacon of hope into safety. Both husband and wife and everyone on the team that was couples started sharing their last kiss.

And the singles on the team opened their beers and chugged them down as the figure of a Dragon appeared in the skies before them. The Dragon whose gigantic body shadowed the entire facility looked condescendingly at them.

But everyone continued what they were doing, completely disregarding its presence. The Dragon didn't attack, letting them experience their last respite before death.

However, its eyes suddenly widened in fear as it felt a sense of imminent danger sweeping through its body. Inside the facility, the middle-aged man's palm pressed on a red button as the nuclear reactor that supplied the facility with energy, collapsed, bringing with it a surge of heat as the figures of everyone inside the facility, became swallowed by a bright light.

Everything in the area turned into dust, the Dragon flew backward, landing on the sea with severe injuries on its body, but before it could gain altitude, a shark comparable to a megalodon but several times bigger swallowed it whole.

...

An unknown amount of time passed, a cryogenic stasis craft returned back to Earth after it failed its mission of finding traces of other civilization or habitable planets where the person inside could live.

Entering the Earth's atmosphere, it descended in the form of a falling star which destroyed everything upon impact.
