We were enslaved by a powerful race the lordkins. They wrecked havoc on many of races throughout the galaxy and happened to find earth. They were a race of greed, hatred, death. Death followed them everywhere and terror rised in the hearts of many nations. Their army were thousands upon thousands. Millions. I wondered how these savages think, I watch them annihilate thousands. Control everything. Their technology was advanced as ours was primitive. Forces of thousands walked slaves in a line. Soldiers holding guns haunted the world. On television was a message from their leader vikan and he terrified our planet and massacred millions. Little children screamed as they stormed through the homes of mankind marking humans with a code. This code was in a database of billions. We had a war with the lordkins. Our army was not strong enough to win this war with this race. Troops, helicopters, and jets flew everywhere around the war site. I watched as explosions blew up tanks. I still managed to live enslaved to this race. They brought their technology to conquer our planet and everyday the same message was televised. Work or die. We are the lordkins. They overruled our governments and took over every fucking thing. They brought drugs to take over our pharmaceutical industry. I took pills to engage in this phenomenon. These drugs altered states of consciousness. I smoked mariguana and drunk a 40 ounce of Old English. This race was a magnificent race they took people lives and let them do anything. I was a billionaire. Endulging in all their riches. Fast cars, money, women. I was living the high life. The lordkins evolutionized the world. They could do anything. I was at home watching the N G B A. The national galaxy basketball association was a sports entertainment organization that made millions to come and play basketball at a high level. My favorite team the Chicago Angels was a terrifying team of angels that played the rawest way ever. I was entertaining my guests when a televised message was broadcast. A televised service for iguana a mariguana industry that selled millions.

The shot clock is down to 5 seconds The score is tied at 56 Marcelous holds the ball to the side of his hip as he is being defended by one of the intergalactic minions. He takes a deep breath then continues down the court. He fakes to the left then makes a spin move now redirected to the right. The intergalactic minion trips on his other foot and falls to the ground. He end up at the 3 point line. There is 3 seconds left on the shot clock. He shoots the ball. And scores !! At the courtside, Percius puts his head in his hands in defeat. The crowd celebrates “freedom freedom” they chant as the front row section runs to the court to lift up marcelous. Precius holds up his hands to shush the crown. “I am an alien of my word. I grant you all freedom! “ The crown continues to chear

They were not like us, they were so calm, so emotionless, so methodical, so accurate. Their ruthlessness lacked violence, will, desire. We always were means to an end for them: objects to shift, deposit, cull. For a while, this was so utterly shocking to us, a paralysing effect that turned us into those very objects from inside out. And inch by cruel inch the world finally became the clockwork society they had in mind: organic assured perfection. But here I am now, and this is for you as a testament to one simple truth: nothing can ever stay the same, perfection is the constant overturning of the status quo. When this message finds you, know that things will be so inconceivably different from how they used to be. Some will be better, some not so great — you be the judge — but they will be different and they will blow your mind. And know that there’s only one source that drives this unrelenting course of infinite change, something that reverberates in the heart of the universe just as deeply as it does in our souls: hope.

By the time the UFOs landed Lara knew it was over. Thousands of years of human civilization down the drain. The president gave up without so much as a whimper. No nukes fired, not even a surface to air missile. Nothing! He just turned it all over. This followed all over the world, as if all the leaders in the world already had a retirement plan ready. She knew this would happen, she knew five years ago.

Lara walked into the press briefing with the president. He went to the microphone and started delivering a concession speech she hadn’t written or even seen. It was as if it was being beamed through him, there was no teleprompter and that was the most mystifying thing. He couldn’t get two words out she hadn’t written for him on that prompter. She knew this was all part of the plan. Their plan.

I ran through the streets ducking behind trash cans and buildings to hide from the aliens. They were everywhere and have been enslavjng humans for generations. I finally think I found a way to end this relationship. I thought to myself as I peaked at the bomb in my bag. I ran inside the ship pretending to be one of the humans placed their. While heading towards the control room. I looked behind me and around me, and without realizing it I bumped into a alien that just walked around the corner and into me. My heart rate quickened as I smiled and tried to walk past him slowly. I’m sorry I said as I turned to walk away like normal until the alien guy grabbed my arm Wait a second which unit are you from. He asked as I looked at him examining him for any weapons or anything telling me that I can’t knock him out or fight him. The guy looked around 6ft tall, he had a muscular build. Blonde short hair, brown eyes, and alien antennes be looked pretty good looking if only he was human. Im here to make food in the kitchen sir I spoke as I tried my hardest to not look suspicious and lied hoping that he would fall for it. I don’t want to fight this guy especially if he has muscles he will win for sure. I’ve got to get him to belive me. The alien guy stood there for a few seconds looking at me up and down sternly as he examined me. Okay, you can go, but I have to come with you he said calmly as he narrowed his eyes slightly at me in suspicion. Okay come with me I said calmly and faked a smile. Damnit now what do I do his going to find out what I’m really doing. I can’t even cook. I thought to myself as I walked and he followed behind me. I looked around for something, anything that I could use to help me. I walked into the kitchen and saw a knife in the table, a Risky and stupid idea came to mind. That will never work, but what do I have to lose at this point. I quickly grabbed the knife and nuanced towards the alien as I jumped on him and his eyes widen with surprise. He looked up at me as I had a knife on his throat and was about to stab him. Wait, I want to help he said I froze and looked at him with shock. Help? I said confused. Yes, help I know you may not belive me but I could already tell you were lieing about going to the kitchen. You’re a really bad lair, you know he stated calmly as he raised his hand on my floor in surrender. Also I never liked how we did things to you, humans I want a better world so that’s why I followed you I wanted to join you. He stated calmly. I looked into his eyes for any decivement. I don’t know if I should trust him, but why would he lie since he was stronger then me he could have just overpowered me, right? I put the knife down slowly. Fine, but I’ll be watching you if you have any signs of deception I’ll kill you got that? I said as I narrowed my eyes at him. Yeah I got it anyway are we going to stay in this awkward position or…. He stated as I stood up off him. I coughed awkwardly. So do you happen to know where the control room in this thing is? I asked while walked over to the door of the kitchen checking if the cost is clear. Yeah, just follow me he stated as he walked out of the kitchen and waited for me to follow. I hesitated for a moment still not sure if I should trust him. Relax I’d not bite he joked with a wink. I sighed and started to follow him slowly. Hey now that I think about it what’s your name? I whispered so I wouldn’t get heard from someone else while we cautiously walked towards the control room. My names Alistir, how about you? He whispered back. My names Scarlett I whispered as we finally made it to the control room. I looked at the control room them turned to look at Alistir, Thank you I whispered to him. He gave me a small nod and said don’t thank me yet not until we succeed. I nodded and walked into the control room. I looked around for a bit before walking over to the control table and ducked under it as I began pulling out wires. Alistir was watching out for any other aliens with weapons. I grabbed the final wire that I needed and broke it then I took it so the other aliens couldn’t escape their fate. I giggled maniacally under my breath and stood up as I looked at Alistir. Hey, can you fight? I asked him as my smile had a hint of craziness in it. Um yeah, why’d you ask? Alistir said as he raised an eyebrow in suspicion. Well…. we are going to fight I got up on my feet and pulled out the knife I secretly put in my pocket from the kitchen. What? So your gonna fight all 100 of the aliens? I can’t tell if your serious or joking? Alistir stated as he looked at me like I hit my head. Of course we are only going to fight a few before I set off the bomb I placed right here. I said calmly like there was nothing wrong with what I said and I pointed under the control. That showed a bomb ready to explode. As I hid the bomb from sight and waved the control in my hand to him with a crazy smile. All we have to do is get out on time and the ship will take off once I press this button and they won’t be able to do anything. The ship is under my control through this. I said as I showed him a device that I pulled out of my pocket. Wow, you really thought this through didn’t you? He said as I smiled and said now all we have to do is get out of the ship and we might need to fight to draw the aliens that are outside in to the ship so they can all leave. I said as I walked to the door of the control room and looked around as I saw some alien soldiers coming this way. Your crazy, but a genius, I’m in Alistir said as he pulled out his gun from his pocket and came behind me ready to follow. I smiled and said come on it’s time to fight. We ran out of the room as I stabbed some alien and he shot them being careful not to hurt me. I jumped using the wall to go behind the alien. Landed on his shoulders as the alien stumbled a bit but managed to stay on his feet. I giggled aoflty before flipping behind me as I wrapped my legs around his neck chocking him and flipped him with me. Slamming the alien hard on the ground. I smiled and ran forward to the other aliens as Alistir shot a bunch of them with his gun and punched a few I heard some of them call him a traitor, but he didn’t seem to care. As we fought the aliens and a few of them tried using telekinesis to throw a bunch of stuff at me but Alistir grabbed me my the waist and pulled me back and used his ability to create a shield around us stopping the objects from hitting us. The other aliens arrived and Alistir broke the glass of the shield with his fist. What did you do that for? I asked as I looked towards the exit. Let’s go Alistir said as he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. Hey, what are you doing!! We need to escape before we get caught!!! I said as Alistir jumped out the window with me on his shoulder. I grabbed him like my life depended on it as I screamed. He grew giant white wings and flew away from the spaceship with me on his shoulder. I kept my eyes closed as he said open your eyes your okay he stated with a slight chuckle. I opened my eyes slowly, whoa we are so high up i mumbled as my face was pale. You know you should give me a warning before doing that. I said as I looked at my hands that were still gripping his shirt tightly. After a bit we slowly landed on the ground. My hand and legs were trembling slighty, but I brushed it off. Reaching into my pocket I grabbed the device to finally save humanity and get rid of the aliens. I pressed the button quickly, as soon as I pressed it the ship started to move and flew into space. 3…2…1 I mumbled, as soon as I said 3 the spaceship exploded with all of the aliens inside it. Finally peace it’s been too long. I thought to myself as I fell on my knees and sighed a breath of relief. Alistir sat down beside me. The End.

You were an agent, one that was meant to help defeat the aliens. The mankind has been enslaved by these aliens for decades. These aliens arrived at Earth and invaded Earth, rumors say that they came for the rich resources that this planet contains. They claimed that the fittest survives, and they were capable of erasing humans from this planet easily, since they were so kind, they won’t do so. Of course, most humans don’t agree with this statement, they tried to fight back against them. Humanity lost the war, but even until now, there were still people who believed that someday they would be able to overthrow the aliens for justice. You were trained while you were little to become an agent that could help them find the weaknesses of aliens. A lot of top secret information was already stolen by you from the aliens, and they were desperate to catch you for good. You would be ashamed of yourself for being such a hypocrite back then when aliens haven’t come yet, but you’re delighted for stealing all the secrets from these space invaders. This was the punishment for the aliens, the world needs more people like you, at least this was the way you were educated to believe in. You eventually discovered the alien’s most top secrets of all, but you weren’t able to comprehend the informations of it at all. The aliens were made by humans to be the better version of themselves, because humans were all so greedy, prideful, and selfish, scientists thought that humans don’t deserve to rule over the earth. They made aliens to replace humans and create a better world for humans to live in. When the aliens were created, they surely revert the damage human dealt to the economic, they even made most humans happier by using pills. The code to shut off all aliens was also inside the document, and it were left for to decide what to do.

Antonio didn’t know how long they had been there. It felt like forever. There was no hope, no sense of control. They were captured, trapped until the end of their days. The man’s head slowly nodded down before snapping back up. _Stay focused or they’ll kill you. _ Antonio blinked slowly as his thoughts drifted to when he was younger. He remembered Earth in all of her glory. **She was beautiful, full of life, joy, and oblivious humans. Well, oblivious until the aliens arrived. ** The man mechanically picked up a box, moving towards the doorway. Today, Antonio’s group had to move some supplies into a storeroom from a supply ship. ** The aliens had seemed friendly at first, trying to learn human languages. They even gave the humans a nickname: Kliopfars. Antonio now knew that the name meant ‘slave’ or ‘worker’, but at the time, he had been amazed by the presence of non-human life. ** Setting the box down, Antonio caught sight of the face of one of his coworkers. Pale, gaunt, full of pain. He briefly remembered that faces didn’t use to look like that. ** If nothing else, the Trasdians were clever. They had gained the trust of the human governments by gifting many useless but valuable-looking trinkets. ** Antonio moved back into the ship to pick up another box. He strained for a moment while lifting it, and a Trasdian hissed something at him. Though he couldn’t fully understand the phrase, it was obviously a threat. ** One night, Antonio had seen a light outside of his window. Peering out of the glass, the collage senior saw the embodiment of a nightmare. People running, screaming, scrambling away from the Trasdians. The lanky aliens had hunted down every last Kliopfar, enslaving or killing the entire human species. ** Antonio placed the box neatly on a shelf in the storage room. He stepped out, taking a moment to pop his back with a stretch. This had been easier when he was younger. ** Antonio had been selected as an able bodied Kliopfar and sent to work in the pits that Trasdians called mines. He had slaved away in the mines for decades until he was moved to an easier job. The Trasdians would work every single Kliopfar down until they died, but they made sure that the humans could work for longer by giving easier jobs as they got older. ** Antonio saw spots in his eyes, but blinked them away, dismissing the possibility of illness. His mind, spurred by the memory of Earth, ran through all of his old escape plans. He had never tried them since he had found weak points in every possible scenario. _ Now or never. I’m getting old, and if they decide I’m too old, they’ll kill me. _ Antonio shot a glance at one of the Trasdians. The small, bright purple eyes stared back. Antonio took in a breath and lept away from the line of Kliopfars that were still carrying boxes. Running for the supply ship, he heard the worst noise possible. A weapon. It was powering up. It was loaded. It fired.

 Antonio felt a searing pain in his back, and tears formed in his eyes as he fell to the floor. As he heard the footsteps of the Trasdian approaching, the man realized the final truth. 

_ The only way to escape is to die. _

You know when desperate times call for desperate measures no one ever tells you the consequences of what happens if you fail. As a last resort the humans tried to launch a nuclear bomb at the mother ship only to realize they had a shield up the whole time. So it did nothing. It’s been 50 years since that fateful day, the end of all freedom for all humans, now serving under the dreaded Kios. An alien race from 3 galaxies away, there invaders. Enslave and destroy other worlds that’s there thing. Until I became friends with there prince Alador. He was sweet but painfully naïve, he could be the key to our salvation or extinction.

Draft #9! Thanks to Lysalei for suggesting this number! This one was a bit difficult because the only word I had on this draft was ‘something’ 😂 ———

After generations and generations being under the rule of the Keoshfie, an alien race that came down to Earth and swiftly dominated it, one person believes to have the answer to victory.

They may appear human-like, but no one knows what they actually look like. The Keoshfien can manipulate minds and bend them to their own will. Create illusions and insert thoughts in one’s brain. With no mercy, they dwindled the human population to only the strongest for the best workers to slave their lives away for the Keoshfien.

While all the older members were eliminated, the children are raised to be fit and serve the aliens.

It is one such child, brought up in this turmoil, that knows he can bring peace to the humans of Earth.

Having worked his way up, getting closer to the alien royalty, he met the Keoshfien princess. Garth observed Princess Hariki up close and witnessed her sympathy towards humans.

It was this sympathy that could be used to free humans. He just needed to exploit it.

That is a tricky manipulation to pull off. The Keoshfie could bend thinking, they could not read minds. They could make you speak your thoughts aloud, but only if they suspected something. So he has to be discreet.

But as he spent more time with Princess Hariki, he is shown a new path to peace. Not through exploitation or manipulation. Not through war or battlefields.

It’s not annihilation of one race. The answer is coexistence.

——— (Fun fact, I came up with the name ‘Keoshfie’ by literally doing a keyboard smash and then seeing what could be a word. 😂)

Wake up And its time to go Grab the gasoline Bring lighter

Wake up And skip breakfast Skip down the sidewalk And drench the ground

Wake up Its time to go Light a match A drop it before

We get caught And run away For this only The beginning

Wake up before dawn And get yourself And pack a bag For we strike at dawn
