The day started out like normal, me going to college, finding my friends, and making plans for later tonight. You would think that your life would've been a boring one, watching the news about a successful trade between the Tadanorg and us. They are really strict about what they would trade, and what they would accept from us.

As I was walking to my part-time job as a technician, that was the moment that changed our lives. The first round land two blocks away and blew part of the road. Everyone that was close to it were either launched back 10-30 feet or were killed from the heat.

I was part of the group that was launched back, luckily I managed to roll and lessen the impact, wile the others around me were knocked out from that. Everyone started to run and called for the police or the government to come take care of the attack. Then I saw the ships and their troop carriers enter the atmosphere and commence the full attack. One group of carriers landed near my job and I realized that my friends were at my job waiting for me to fix their computers.

I started to run towards the shop while others were running away from there yelling "Boy, turn around and run” or “Turn around boy, they are right behind us”. Fortunately, I managed to stay fit and find a way through the running crowds. I ran for 10 minutes when I realized that there was no one there, and that was when I slowed down to get a better look around me.

There was something here and I could feel it. That was when I first heard the attackers, they were reporting to their commanders when they noticed me. There was a shout as I turned around and ran and felt something go by me. When I managed to get to a cluttered area, I ducked behind cover and looked to where I ran from. I saw then jogging up to the area I was in and pulled something out.

The one with the object pointed in my direction and that was when I realized that it was a scanner. I managed to pull my head back in time for a laser to pass by, I was then looking around for a way to get away from that area. The area around me was as dense as the rest of the road and I realized that I was trapped. As I was accepting my fate, I heard the unmistakable sound of our military jets and ships arrive at the edge town.

Several of our cyborg troops rushed the enemy on the other side of me and distracted them while yelling at me to run. So I just ran around the fighting as fast as I can and hurried to the shop. When I got there, I found it collapsed while one cyborg was fighting with three of the enemy and was slowly losing ground. I was forced to leave the area and when I turned the corner to a side road, a building to the right of me blew up. I was pushed into the side of the building from the force of the explosion. When I tried to get back up, the road suddenly collapsed under me.

When I came to, I didn't know when I lost conciousness or where I was, but there was only one way for me to go and that was forward. Right when I tried to move, pain flooded into my body and I felt that my legs and one of my arms were broken. So I just tried to move with the one working arm and slowly made my way through the tunnel. As I left the collapsed part of the tunnel, I realized that there was still light in the tunnel from an unknown source.

It felt like I was dragging myself for hours and my arm ached from the strain, but I finally reached the end of the tunnel and entered a circular room. There was runes on the walls and in the center of the room was a raised pedestal. I felt like I was supposed to go to the pedestal, but when I went around the room I heard a voice in my head say 'do you want to survive or save everyone on this world Jayden Brewer?'.
