It was October 5th PM in 1988 Las Angeles. Why was this date important? Well it was a very special day. A day of both a new life, and the loss of one. for all the people on the Danja household but specifically for the  23 year old Asada Danja in just fourteen minutes her husband would be arriving and come to the hospital and they could finally have peace as a family. Oh those fourteen minutes felt like fourteen hours for the young woman, but she had to wait. And she just couldn’t do that. The time was eating at her vigorously, like a mite eats at wood.

Then finally her husband rushed through the door. He was a tall and pretty muscular. His left eye was slit perfectly horizontally, making it look pretty freaky. He also had a  golden wristwatch along with some blue jeans and a green shirt. When Asada saw him her eyes lit up like magic. “Simon your here, you were gone for three weeks what happened?” Simon temporarily froze. He couldn’t tell her what he was really doing.  That he was actually apart of Area 51 and for the past four weeks he had been stopping Martians from terraforming the earth to their desires, So instead he ignored her question completely and said: “That doesn’t matter, what does is that your about to have a baby. And that baby will be wonderful and do great things for this hellhole of a world.”

Hearing that made Asada smile, showing her pearly white teeth. Her look of joy then turned into a look of befuzzlement as the ground began to shake violently, making her nearly fall out of her bed. Simon rushed to the window and opened the blinds. He watched in horror as in the floor below him a humanoid red figure in a red cape in a helicopter sized triangular  airship, attached an orb of pulsating energy to the hospital. “A bomb!” He gasped. “What?!” Asada asked feeling concerned. “Nothing dear ummmm…..I’ve gotta go” And with that Simon ran out of the room and into the hospital hallway. He rushed downstairs to the second floor and entered the room where the bomb was.

Inside was a Nurse calmly talking to an old lady. “Wow I can’t believe it” The Nurse said, “You were able to survive stage five cancer and everything went back to normal like you never had it at all in just five seconds!” The Nurse didn’t see Simon as he entered but Simon did notice something immediately as he entered the room. Under the bed was a bleeding hand...and old person’s hand! The old  woman Noticed Simon as he locked eyes on the bleeding hand, and her body shifted. Her skin cracked and peeled off revealing the woman was in fact a Martian! The nurse screamed and ran out of the room flailing her arms frantically. The Martian punched Simon Into a wall, cracking his ribs effortlessly.

Simon coughed up some blood and spat out a tooth before leaning over to his watch and whispering: “Activate Ice beam” Simon then pointed his watch at the Martian and  a beam of ice shot out of the watch and hit the Martian in his lower stomach. The Martian’s entire lower body froze, stopping him in his tracks. The Alien screamed and convulsed in pain and agony. “Why are you doing this” Simon coughed, getting up, “Why’d you kill that Woman?” “Simple human,” the alien began, “To distract you from following our leader” The Martian said before letting out a hideous laugh. Simon eyes widened and he looked out the window just in time to witness The leader fly off in his ship. Simon let out a yell and  side kicked the Martian in the legs, making them brake apart and fall off.

Bright red vampire bat like wings, shot out of the Martians back and he flew out of the window. At the last second, Simon jumped on the Martian and sent it crashing into the wall.  They crashed right next to the bomb, and Simon grabbed it and shoved it into the Martian’s throat before using it to fly towards the other Martian. Simon guides his Martian until it was just above the other one. Then he jumped from it and landed on the ship, The other Martian exploding in the background. “It’s over Zyquil just give up already” Simon announced. Zyquil  turned his head upward as the flaming pieces of his henchman fell from from the sky. “Ah I’ve seen you slain Garrius, No matter for under this very ship Is the legendary Zurkite emerald.” Zyquil cackled, “And I’ll send it to soldiers and well take over your filthy planet!”

Simon’s eyes widened, and he shot out an ice beam at Zyquil. Zyquil dodged the beam and uppercutted Simon. Simon nearly flew off of the side of the ship. He was barely able to get a grip. “Hook” Simon  whispered to his watch he pointed it at Zyquil and a rope line with a hook attached to it shot out and attached itself to his hand. Zyquil yanked the line forward and sent Simon crashing into him, accidentally splitting his left hand in the process. Zyquil began slamming Simon into the ship and then threw him against  the control panel with a bang.

Then without missing a beat, Simon activated his watch to Ice and made a wall of ice separating him from Zyquil, and then froze the control panel, causing the ship to veer out of control and drop the emerald into the lake below. “I did it” he said, exasperated and coughing up blood. Then Simon heard the sound of the Ice wall behind him being punched through by Zyquil, with eyes of fury. “You fool!” He laughed, this ship may be cloaked but that Emerald sure isn’t! You’ve just given the world proof that we exist! That gives them fear and fear leads to...them returning”

Zyquil smiled and erupted his wings from his back before flying out of the ship. The ship was approaching a mountain, and try as he might Simon could do nothing to stop the ship from changing direction. Simon  let out a scream of pure ange at ge  top of his lungs as the ship crashed and exploded!
