Onslaught
The Story so Far
Planet Earth stands in ultimate peril…a war enveloping across numerous continents from a concealed vicious enemy. The Morgons have been hidden for years, studying and contemplating the weaknesses of their victims before striking, concealed in the darkest depths and havens where humans could not travel without harm or virtual suicide. The invaders are now understood to have evolving bodies, able to absorb immense punishment and transform and grow in harsh polluted realities that humans cannot survive.
The situation is bleak for human life…the oceans now controlled by invaders growing in merciless strength…numerous coastal landings advancing inland across the globe from Japan through Thailand and South Korea to the central Ukraine and St Petersburg. The United States faced the ultimate ferocity of attacks, the western seaboard now destroyed along with the majority of defensive forces simply obliterated with additional enemy landings in New York and now Boston, heavy fighting continuing in Florida. In Europe, Normandy in France is now the scene of bitter battles and the North Sea oil rigs of the United Kingdom have fallen.
With the seeming improvement of the military situation on Zaxon B due to the timely intervention of the last ship from the Fahimian Republic, any meagre Trevakian reserves are being deployed to the deteriorating situation on Planet Earth to assist their new allies, the ships currently travelling to the remote planet.
Eager to support and enhance the new additions to the Trevakian Empire, a Battle Cruiser has been gifted to the new arrivals, the appropriately named ‘Galactic Freedom’ a gesture of peace and solidarity with the new alliance members, the vessel now housing most of the surviving soldiers from earth as they head home. Destined perhaps unknowingly for a battle of annihilation that is engulfing the planet, the soldiers are deep in training, some having even now bravely or naively joined the Trevakian marine corps.
But the situation on earth is deteriorating, two massive Morgon Decimator warships now in orbit above the planet having destroyed the initial small Trevakian defence force, their devastating firepower already having decimated the western lower seaboard of the United States by firing on the San Andreas Fault line.
The subsequent devastation and Tsunami has obliterated the US defensive forces that advanced into the region, an enormous tidal wave overwhelming Hawaii and also now heading south westwards towards Australia. As the battle continues, another Decimator warship has just fired an enormous energy burst towards the planet, the target as yet unknown.
Further sinister acts by the invaders have removed numerous human beings in craft, heading deep into the world’s oceans with a fate unknown…large alien ships visible through viewing ports in the sides of the prison vessels, disturbing emissions and the sights of sunken naval ships littering the sea beds, the aliens seemingly to work on salvaging the hulks and removing the drowned corpses from within…sustenance for a vicious fighting force.
With the first intricate designs of advanced armour reaching a few factories on earth, the war is escalating, the future seeming very bleak for human existence. Production in private companies chosen to be given the new schematics is now keenly overseen by government departments, the factories guarded by the military with orders for the new equipment required to be delivered on time and without question.
But hope is on its way on-board Galactic Freedom…a lethal prototype weapon from new charismatic allies that are few in number…a rifle that the dreaded Morgons do not possess, something that may stem and then reverse the tide if it arrives in time, or is even able to be produced in sufficient numbers. Also on board, one female human may hold a surprising and demoralising insight into where the invaders have come from…potentially earth DNA itself.
New troops in friendly Trevakian ships are speeding towards Planet Earth…but time may be too short for human existence…the new allies realising that their desperate need for manpower may have inadvertently introduced a world hell-bent on fighting amongst its own people to the final chapter…extinction and domination by a Morgon invader. The human body is an ideal source of energy and food, providing a gratifying sustenance for the new formidable adversary, their appetite growing in blood lust and encouraged on by ruthless commanders.
In additional grim news and unbeknown to the travelling fleet or the beleaguered defenders, a Morgon Black Star orbiting station is also travelling across the galaxies, heading for the stricken planet. On board, a unit of newly styled contorted and enhanced soldier, stronger and even more powerful than the average highly armoured alien soldiers…the torn bodies of defeated victims now chemically strengthened and turned to the will of evil…the name chosen significantly from human history…The Black Death Battalion.
With the human world situation darkening and deteriorating, the devastating firepower of the orbiting Morgon Warships is unleashed once more…the massive energy blasts entering earth’s atmosphere and hurtling towards another target...
There may be little of a defeated planet left to salvage when reinforcements finally arrive…even if successful against such overwhelming odds.
Prologue: Earth besieged
The enormous forward guns of the Morgon Decimator Warship recoiled rapidly, the vast ship shuddering as high energy bolts jettisoned from the four muzzled barrels, the intense light merging on either side and brightening sharply as it surged forwards, gathering momentum through dark space.
Morgon shock troops stared out inquisitively through the green based protective particle shield covering their extensive loading bay openings on either side of the large vessel, soon to venture in drop ships down to the blue glistening planet below. Extensive cloud formations drifted above the war ravaged planet, several of the tall muscular armoured soldiers pointing in intrigue to land masses far below as the warship maintained its high orbit, distant stars sparkling across the heavens beyond the atmospheric rim.
Then the red glowing eyes moved back to the long queues of black and camouflaged armoured plate troopers ahead as they waited
