Samantha rolled side to side and did some belly rolls as she dodged the bullets and lasers that were fired at us. Akira pinned his katana to the metallic floorboard and hanged on to it as if his life depended on it. I was thrust from side to side hitting the four walls and ceilings. The couch and dinning table flung towards me. I barely dodged the couch but the table came flying at me while I was in mid-air. I crouched myself into a small ball while covering my head with my hands.
SMASH!!!!
The wooden table hit me loudly and shattered into pieces. Thank God for my ability to ignore pain, otherwise that would have hurt. Jasmine had managed to sit down in one of the emergency seats and strapped herself to the chair with the belt.
These bastards thought they could defeat us with technology of that level. Earth had slightly advanced in terms of technology and civilization. One hundred years after earth had interacted with an alien species , the world governments came together and made a proposal with the alien creatures. In return for the technology that humanity would be given the alien asked for test subjects. The greedy and corrupt leaders agreed to the demands of the alien. They gathered seven million humans to be used as test's subject. They were truly merciless. Orphans were taken away from the people they learned to love after a hard life, criminals who were repenting for their crimes, homeless people who no one cared about and enemies of their state's to take care of their future problems, they were to never set a single foot on earth again.
The alien fulfilled his promise and gave the humans six different types of technology. The first was teleportation technology, the second were spaceships that could travel all around their solar system, the third was futuristic weaponry that was divided into two subcategories. They were hand held weapons such as laser guns and energy guns, catastrophic weapons that were more powerful than nuclear weapons. They were given forcefields made from pure energy , pills that gave humans abilities that practically made them powerful. Beyond that all the other progress was made by humans. They made leaps and bounds in the fields of science and medicine. Humans had managed to evolve as a whole within a span of one hundred years. They had reached the point where they could perform genetic mutations and combined two completely different species. for example the minotaur I was to hunt down.
The funny thing was that humanity were still the least developed planet in terms of technology. The alien had tricked them and gave them completely worthless technology that could be found anywhere in the cosmos. Usually Samantha would have no problem outrunning small fries like the E.P.D.S (Earth Planetary Defence System) but Samantha was damaged. We have no hope of outrunning them. "Samantha activate stealth mode and switch from lever 12 to lever 6." I said
"I can activate the stealth mode but if we switch from lever 12 to lever 6 we will not be able to outrun them or outmanoeuvre them." I already knew this was a problem. If we switched from lever 12 to lever 6 and activated stealth mode it had to be done within one sixth of a second. Cars had gears while spaceships had levers. The higher the lever the faster you could go. Lever 20 allowed for a ship to to reach lightspeed beyond lever 20 was consider FTL (duh) Samantha was too damaged to quickly match the energy output from lever 12 to lever 6 and then lower the the energy output to that of stealth mode which was really low. "I will do it manually." Jasmine said. I quickly moved out of the way to dodge several plates and cups as I replied to her.
"Very well then, do it."
Jasmine reached into her purse and pulled out a tablet that was twice the size of her purse. This was possible because her purse was a small pocket dimension with an interior that was the size of a mansion. She took out a laptop and turned it on. She plugged in a USB into the laptop as she waited for its contents to download she removed her seatbelt and jumped out of her seat. She reached into her purse and pulled out a screwdriver and then unscrewed the bolts from the floorboard. She then lifted the floorboard entirely and grabbed one of the many wires and plugged it into her tablet. I was truly amazed. It was like she was waiting for this to happen. I watched her in awe as she balanced herself in high heels while keeping her balance. She was something else , she had the looks and the brain to go with it no to mention her talents.
SMAAASSHHHH!!!!!!
While I was distracted by Jasmine a china plate had hit me in the face. It broke on impact and part of it went into my right eye. Before it went in any further I grabbed it and yanked it out. I could feel my blood trickling down my face. I wiped the blood that was oozing out of my eyes away. My regenerative abilities had already kicked in. The gentle sensation of my platelets closing my wound. The sight in my right eye returned to me. "No matter how many times I see it the way your wounds heal is unsettling." remarked Akira. I looked at him who was still attached to his katana.
"meh, I could care less."
"Preparations complete I am ready." Jasmine shouted.
Samantha's voice came over the intercom "Get ready to adjust the energy output in three...two...one... now!" Jasmine frantically started typing on the laptop and within the blink of an eye she had finished. Stealth mode had been activated. Stealth mode gave us the advantage of making us invisible to any radar. Samantha had a take off weight of 120 tons and it managed to give us a cross section of 0.000001m squared which was smaller than an ant which made us untraceable. The entire ship became cold all of a sudden, this was due to the fact the ship became intangible. it also camouflaged us into the surrounding.
"That was amazing. Jasmine you are amazing." Akira said as he picked himself and threw himself at Jasmine hugging her.
"If...if...if you say so!" she said as her face turned red. I looked out the window and looked at the E.P.D.S ships who just suddenly stopped wondering where we disappeared to. I looked at them flying sheepishly around. I smiled satisfied with myself. Suddenly Mace burst into the room. "GUY'S WE'RE UNDER ATTACK. WE NEED TO RETALIATE." I looked at Mace who looked completely different from usual. Her usual slim muscles were huge and bulging. Her pupils were constricted and her long hair were standing up. Her back muscles were similar to that of angry bull. She was wearing a bulletproof vest, heavy duty jeans and long military boots. She was wearing a golden bracelet and a silver necklace. she was carrying Benelli supernova shotgun and an ak74 in the other hand. She had several pistols in her leg and back pockets. She had a belt of grenades around her slender waist and another belt of bullets that she was wearing like a sash.
"It's already been dealt with." Akira said as he let go of Jasmine.
"huh? what?"
"It's already been dealt with. See we are descending into earths atmosphere now." I pointed outside the window and showed her. I was shocked at how earth had changed within the seven years I had been gone.
"It's beautiful." Mace breathed gently
