It was an unusually warm afternoon for early October, almost uncomfortably warm. Around the neighborhood orange, yellow, and brown leaves fell slowly from the trees.
The alien creature descended from the sky. Its small wings would allow it to leap and glide long distances, but not truly fly. Its six legs all ended in sharp claws, and its powerful jaws were sideways. Its orange-brown body would have resembled a winged ant, if ants were the size of a cat and weighed twenty pounds.
Many of them were brown and yellow, or orange and yellow. Hundreds of others glided to the ground with it. They crawled across the park, intent on destruction. They would attack in waves, tearing pieces off their enemies until there was nothing left.
On the Space Soldier combat lander, Sarge commanded her troops, “Line up! Prepare for battle!”
A school bus stopped briefly, dropping off a small crowd of children near their homes.
The Space Soldiers ran from the transport as it touched down, pulling out their blasters as they readied to face the alien menace. Sarge yelled, “Follow me! Go! Go!”
They noisily clumped across the terrain in their heavy power armor, rapidly shooting creature after creature, eliminating dozens of them. The tallest and largest of the Space Soldiers, Chavez, yelled; “Sarge! Over there! See that big brown one!”
Sarge ran forward as she commanded, “Blasters won’t work on the big ones! Ready power swords and charge! Chavez go left! Get the right, Joe! Everybody else, back them up!”
One of the squad started to panic, “There’s another big one! And two more over there! We’re surrounded!” Dozens of the smaller creatures kept descending from the sky.
