kind of new weapons the army has, then they’ll attack”
An army jeep pulled up to the town hall and Timmy looked over and noticed Sam getting out of the passenger side. “Hey, Sam is back, he got away from the base camp” he called out as he waved his hand to get his attention.
Sam ran over to the other three boys as Charles followed across the grass as military jeeps continued to shoot lasers into the sky as silver saucers flew overhead.
They both dove onto the grass and crawled over to Timmy.
Timmy turned to Sam “We tried warning everyone in the auditorium, but they just laughed. No one believed a word we said”
Sam nodded as the sound of laser fired filled Main Street. “The General is really determined to bring them down.” he yelled out “We freed our parents. They’re safe now”
“We need to get everyone in this town to safety.” Bobby yelled out.
The General stood up from the passenger seat and pointed at a saucer as it flew over his head. The jeep behind him shot at it missing it by a few feet. The General’s yelling was louder then any laser cannon.
The kids kept their heads low as lasers shot over them as armored vehicles rolled down the street.
Bobby looked around and was shocked “Hey, what happened to Charles? He was here a moment ago?”
The other kids looked around the grass and back to the jeep. Then looked at each other in amazement when they all realized Charles was gone.
“How do you like that? He just disappeared. How is that possible? Did he run inside the building when we lowered our heads?” Kyle said while still looking around for him.
“We don’t have time to worry about Charles” Sam said “We need to somehow tell the aliens to leave before the army brings out the supergun and tries to shoot down the mother ship”
“That will really get them mad. They’ll start attacking for sure” Kyle looked up in he sky “I can’t image there being a massive ship up there. I can’t see anything”
“Oh I’m sure it’s up there, somewhere.” Sam yelled out as a few jeeps drove along Main Street trying to lock onto a saucer.
Sam noticed two girls running over to them across the grass with their heads down low. He knew it was Jane and Sandy.
When they reached the boys the two girls lowered down.
“What’s happening to our town?” Sandy asked
“Oh nothing we can’t handle” Sam said sarcastically.
“What are those things in the sky?” Jane asked.
“Aliens from another world who the General wants to bring down. Hopefully we can stop him” Bobby called out.
“Before the aliens start their attack” Kyle said.
Jane quickly looked over to Kyle “What do you mean attack us?” She asked as he lowered her head when a saucer overhead casting a shadow.
“It’s a long story, but our town is in the middle of a battle where the earth is at stake.” Bobby said.
“You knew about this?” Jane asked.
“Well, we only found out yesterday.” Sam said, “We’ve been trying to warn people, but no one wants to believe us. Kinda hard to convince people about aliens.”
“What’s your plan?” she asked.
Sam smiled a bit “That’s what were working on now.”
Jane looked at the others “We need to get out of here to check on our parents and make sure they’re alright”
“Good idea” Bobby called out. “Its better if you’re not right in the center here, were you could get hurt”. It was hard for them to hear each other with the sound of the lasers shooting everywhere.
“Where are your parents?” Jane yelled out, trying to hear Bobby.
“Oh, there in a holding cell at the General’s base camp, they’re safe,” he said while watching the saucers fly overhead.
“What?” she yelled out in shock “In a holding cell, what does that mean?”
“Long story. Men in black tired to chase us last night, but we got away. So they took our parents away to get us to come out from our hiding spots. Then, it turns out Officer Reed is a bad guy to took us to the General. Were we had to escape, but that’s just the quick version.” Bobby kept his head down low as he looked back to the saucers.
Jane and Sandy looked at each other in confusion.
Sandy turned to the boys “We need to find our families and make sure they’re safe”
Jane looked to Sam “You four do whatever needs to be done to save this town. Everyone is counting on you. No other adult looks to be in any condition to help you out”
“I understand.” Sam said “ We’ll do everything we can to stop this war” Sam called back.
The two girls looked up and made sure there were no saucers flying overhead. They took off running towards a side street.
Timmy looked over to Sam “How are we suppose to talk with the aliens? They’re up in the sky somewhere and we’re down here”
The General pointed at one of the saucers as it flew straight down Main Street straight at him no more then twenty feet off the ground. The jeep behind the General fired a blue laser and it hit the saucer right in the middle sending bolts of lighting throughout the ship. The saucer shook left and right out of control. The nose turned downward and the crashed landed on the grass a few feet in front of the cry wolves’ gang.
The kids saw the saucer coming straight at them and knew they had no time to get away. They we’re sure it was going to land right on top of them. Fear shot through their bodies as they closed their eyes and got ready for the hit. They could hear the saucer hitting the grass and sliding towards them. A moment later they open their eyes and noticed the saucer had stopped a few feet from them. They each looked at the saucer then each other in amazement. Wondering how on earth they survived.
The General cheered with his fist in the air along with the soldiers. “Look at that boys, we got one. I knew our lasers would work” He looked back up towards the other saucers “Now bring down the rest” he pointed to the sky as the soldiers went back to firing.
Everyone in town looked out from there hiding spots at the saucer on the grass in wonder. They couldn’t believe their eyes. Some of the people standing a few blocks back questioned if it were real.
“That was really close” Bobby called out while staring at the saucer which rested a few feet in front of him. He couldn’t believe he was so close to something from outer space.
“This isn’t good.” Kyle yelled out as he stared at the saucer “I got a feeling the aliens will get mad over this and launch their invasion. The next one to fall could land right on top of us. We need to find better cover”
“It doesn’t matter where we hide” Sam said, “The saucers could come down anywhere. We could hide in our homes and they still come crashing down on us”
By now over twenty saucers could be seen flying throughout Springbrook Gardens.
The General was getting frustrated “We’ve only managed to bring down one ship for far. These saucers are way too quick for us”. He turned to the solider next to him. “Bring in the supergun, lets see if bringing down the mother ship rattles the smaller saucers”
Sam looked to the others and yelled out “Did you guys hear that? He wants to bring down the mother ship. That will be it for this whole town. If we are going to do anything it has to be now. There’s one thing we can do. Lets get on board the saucer.”
The three boys stared at Sam for the longest time.
“Guys I’m serious. We need to find the mother ship and try to talk with the aliens. Hopefully we can get them not to fire back and hopefully fly away ”
They just continued to stare at him.
Bobby finally spoke up “What did I hear you say? You want to get on board the alien space ship that crashed in front of us?”
“That’ the craziest idea I’ve ever heard.” Kyle said, “Fly a spaceship? A few days ago we were convinced UFOs only existed in comic books, now you want to fly a real one”
“It’s the only way.” Sam said, “We have
to get onboard the mother ship to stop this war before the General brings it down”
Timmy shook his head. “Even if we could fly the saucer, we don’t even know were the mother ship is. How will we find it?”
Bobby took a moment and peaked down Main Street and his eyes lit up “Guys don’t look now, but the army is rolling in the supergun”
The other kids quickly looked at each in shock. They jumped to their feet and looked down at the massive bright silver supergun rolling into town.”
The towns people who were still on Main Street stood in amazement as the two block long gun rolled by them. A massive eighteen-wheeler pulled it. The town rumbled as the behemoth moved along. All of the jeeps and armored vehicles stopped firing as the supergun pulled up behind the General.
The town’s people stopped running and turned to look at it. Nobody knew what to say. They had never seen anything like it.
Timmy couldn’t believe his eyes. “This is getting crazy. Look at that gun. Its insane”
Sam looked back at the crashed saucer “Quick, it’s now or never. Make a run for the downed ship”
The kids looked at each other for a brief moment and nodded in agreement. They knew it was nuts, but they had to do something. They ran towards the saucer.
“This is crazy” Bobby yelled out as he ran.
The General looked over at the kids. “Hey you kids, get away from the saucer. It’s not a toy. You might get hurt. I don’t want to see any humans hurt here, this isn’t a playground”
They reached the saucer. The front end was dug into the dirt as the back end slightly stuck up into the air. They ran around the entire
