Thousands of spacecraft were unexpectedly discovered to be orbiting the Earth at the end of 2012, and this was reported in news outlets all over the world. The Security Council requested that the UN hold an emergency special session to discuss the mysterious spacecraft. Additionally, it is broadcast live on all media platforms, with the public's attention focused on the decision of the global leader.
The leaders of the globe then decide to establish an organization called Space 01, which is a collaboration of all the international space organizations. Space 01 starts working right away after the inauguration of the brand-new corporation, and their first task is communication. They first tried utilizing various languages, signs, or anything else that could be used as a way to communicate, but all was in vain; nary a sound could be heard on any of the media. Space 01 crew members have been slavishly trying to communicate and using satellite imagery to inspect the spacecraft's systems for months.
The general public's reaction to this serious situation is surprising, as some are merely moderately concerned, while others are overjoyed, and still others could care less. Instead, they create a ton of media related to this topic, including movies, books, essays, conspiracies, hypotheses, and videos.
Many people were confused by the sudden course of action at the end of March 2013, when the United States of America proclaimed a state of emergency and asked the populace to take shelter at home for safety reasons. However, the government soon announced that one of the spacecraft had been seen hovering above the United Nations building in New York. That spacecraft managed to enter American airspace undetected, which perplexed the administration.
The sheer size of the spacecraft, which is larger than the largest ship in the world (the Seawise Giant), as well as the fact that it is floating in the air, astounds many people as they start to film the event on their phones, cameras, or even laptops. The United States Air Force then launches several of its aircraft to monitor the situation and be prepared to act if hostile action is discovered, but the spaceship just hovers above the UN headquarters. One of the pilots who are observing the alien spacecraft begins a safe-distance communication in an effort to understand the alien's intentions. The extraterrestrial, though, remains silent. The pilot makes numerous attempts to communicate, all of which are unsuccessful.
A few minutes later, a voice could be heard on every available medium—television, radio, and telephone—it speaks in every language spoken on earth, simultaneously in every country in the world, as something appeared to emerge from the spacecraft.
"My name is Yeelgruth, and I am a spokesman for my race, Kraexils. I'm here per the orders of my emperor". Yeelgruth can then be seen teleporting into the United Nations headquarters and staying floating in the air. The action is somehow being broadcast live on radio, television, and even all compatible apps.
Yeelgruth appears to be wearing some kind of astronaut suit that specializes in battle, with four massive reptile tails that are shielded by the suit. In addition, he has four enormous horns, two of which resemble springbok horns and the other two buffalo horns. His head is covered by a helmet, and on his back is a glass container that is flashing blue, which many believe to be some kind of breathing apparatus.
Then Yeelgruth snaps his finger, and all of the world's leaders from various nations simultaneously appear inside the structure. That development has surprised all of the world's leaders. Yeelgruth said in a very strong and authoritative voice, "I apologize for this uncivilized manner of summoning all of you here, but my Emperor can't wait much longer, so let's start this meeting right away. Despite the fact that they were unexpectedly summoned, the world's leaders all appear composed. The conference began when everyone had taken a seat. Yeelgruth then spoke calmly,
"Let me introduce myself again; my name is Yeelgruth. I have come here due to my Emperor's request, which is to speak with humanity and request an answer for my Emperor." Yeelgruth then continues,
"We came from a very distant world with a different objective, and while looking for that said objective, we inadvertently came across this planet, Earth," a planet that supports life in all forms and has a habitable environment. So, my Emperor gives us the command to examine this planet."
"As we are still learning about the culture, history, language, and other aspects of this planet, we were aware that humanity had been attempting to contact us. However, we chose not to respond. In the course of those months of learning and investigating this planet, my Emperor, Vrinceil Neqruax, developed an interest in it and desired to colonize it in order to establish a home base because, as you are all aware, not every world is habitable."
[A/N: 'world', hehe]
"So, as per the emperor's directive, "Submit to my authority and swear allegiance to me, and I will reward all of humanity with permission to become one of us," Yeelgruth remarked in a cocky tone after explaining their motivation for visiting Earth.
One of the leaders around the globe questioned, "What do you mean by 'becoming one of us'?"
"Exactly as it sounds, we'll use genetic engineering to change your physical makeup to turn you into our race, but the process has only a 45% chance of success".
"Before anyone starts to freak out, keep in mind that if you make it through everything, you will gain strength and intelligence, and if you meet the requirements, even a chance to become a noble," Yeelgruth exclaimed in an incredibly excited tone.
The question of whether the Kraexil emperor will be the only ruler is then posed, to which Yeelgruth responds, "Yes, there will be only one ruler for this planet, and that is my Emperor".
Everyone who was present to witness this in real time started to doubt if Yeelgruth was telling the truth or whether the Kraexils would genuinely save humanity if they capitulated. To prevent senseless deaths, half of the world's leaders requested a meeting with the Emperor of Kraexils, which Yeelgruth refused to entertain. The other half of the leaders warned against doing so because Kraexil is an alien race with no known past and is an outsider.
One of the world's leaders then angrily stated, "You came to our home, made this foolish demand, and expected us to drop our heads and say okay to you? You must present us with an equal offer if you wish to negotiate. If you want to set up a base and coexist with us, feel free to do so; in fact, we welcome any extraterrestrial race that desires to coexist with us. Just because your race is superior to ours does not imply that we would cower and blindly obey your demands. That is not how the world works."
Many leaders around the world, his countrymen, and even those who have been following these events in the media are proud of that man for having the guts to reject Yeelgruth's ridiculous demand, but just then, a boisterous chuckle could be heard coming from inside the United Nations building. Yeelgruth could be seen clutching his stomach while suppressing his amusement. After a little pause, he stated solemnly:
"I apologized for my rudeness, but when did I say that you were open to negotiation? There is no negotiation; my Emperor expects a response as to whether or not humanity chooses to submit to him, and my role was merely to listen to humanity's response."
One of the world leaders tries to diffuse the tension by saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yeelgruth, but you don't offer us any chance at all. Would you perhaps allow us some time to..?" Yeelgruth, however, interrupts him and adds,
"I'm sorry, but my emperor is not known for his patience. He needs the response right away. Please do not misunderstand me; I am completely on your side. I was the one who offered humanity the chance to submit to my emperor; the bulk of my species preferred to simply invade to save time. Therefore, what is your reply?
"I'm sure your emperor is wise and generous enough to give us the time we need to have a reasonable discussion about the future if he so desires; what's the point of having a needless war when we can cooperate and coexist?" Are you convinced that picking us to fight with is the greatest option for you?"
One of the world leaders tried desperately to convince Yeelgruth that it would merely be a waste of resources and labor, not to mention meaningless in every other manner.
"We are a being that can do whatever we want because we are able to; thus, the simple answer to your pointless question is because we can. Is this all the question then?" Yeelgruth muttered indifferently.
A world leader then asks, "If we were to submit to and take part in that genetic engineering, what should we expect?"
"Don't be afraid; yes, it will hurt, and perhaps not all of you will survive, but remember that if you do, superhuman strength, superhuman intelligence, or even abilities that defy logic are no longer just in your imagination. Not only that, but everything humankind has ever dreamed of is possible if it evolves into a higher being. Yeelgruth proclaimed with pride and a cheerful voice, "That's how strong and advanced our kind as a race is.
Regardless, your world is deteriorating, and although it is clear that it will eventually perish owing to natural forces at work and human activity hastening the process, we can still use technology to aid in the healing of your planet. We have the technology to treat everything, including planets, despite the fact that it may sound ridiculous. Therefore, kindly accept and give up. Really, there's nothing to lose for you, people.
"But how many people have to die? Is there no other choice? Isn't it possible for us to simply coexist, work together, and prevent senseless deaths? argues a prominent figure around the globe.
Yeelgruth expressed his frustration with the world's rulers by saying, "No, there is no other alternative; either surrender voluntarily or be forced to surrender. Death is still a reality in both scenarios.
What could humans possibly do to a race of aliens with superhuman strength, superhuman intelligence, and substantially superior technological capabilities? Those who were present to witness this action in real time could feel the tension and stress as all of the world's leaders remained silent as if they were on a death gallows.
"Both of your choices are foolish, illogical, and cruel; we would rather die defending our world than suffer being treated like lab rats. You guys are the outsiders in our universe, so we won't give in to your demands. Your Emperor presented us with a demand and solution that were completely illogical and didn't offer us the opportunity for a compromise. What kind of solution is this—die if humanity doesn't give up, and if we do, we'll be treated like fucking lab rats?!"
"This entire situation is absurd, and I, as a human, will not tolerate this kind of oppression. I will fight with everything I have, even if I have to take on your entire race alone!" One of the world's leaders yelled loudly and sternly.
"Humans with their pointless egos, my Emperor offered humanity an opportunity to advance, yet all you worry about is the demise of others who don't care about you. Even if it means dragging others to hell, you should take advantage of this opportunity. If humanity can progress as a collective, who cares if some people die from this?"
Yeelgruth, in ridicule of that leader's choice, said: "Instead of being so narrow-minded, contemplate the big picture and the future of humanity.
The leaders of the world are divided into two groups: those who want to give up but are scared of the genetic engineering proposal, and those who want to maintain their ground and protect the society they have known their entire lives.
"Can we learn more about the experiment's procedure before we make a choice?" said one of the world's leaders.
Yeelgruth's patience wore thin, but he still showed the reality of what would happen to humanity if they were to submit. By snapping his finger, a hologram appeared in front of him.
"I will show the truth so humanity doesn't feel like being scammed, and yes, it will be unbearable to go through all of this, but it is rewarding when you manage to go through all of the process shown in this hologram," Yeelgruth said apathetically.
Everyone seeing the hologram is horrified as an alien-like being is skinned alive, but for some reason, the creature didn't bleed to death or pass out from the anguish he was experiencing.
"We will remove your exterior skin as part of a DNA alteration process to completely liberate your muscle, allowing the bone and inner muscle to effortlessly stretch or contract. You will not die as a result of this procedure because we will inject a nano-like device into your body to mend and stabilize your state for surgery," Yeelgruth added.
"You must be fully conscious throughout this process, and you won't be given any type of painkiller because you must feel the pain in order to progress and it is one of the requirements to evolve to the next stage," boasted Yeelgruth. "I also had to go through this process in order to become what I am today."
"After that, you'll be given another injection of a special chemical, which will transform your organ to be the same kind as all the other Kraexil because our organs and bodies can survive in space, unlike yours, and the pain you feel will interact with the chemical, causing you to grow horns. Being a Kraexil involves having horns, and the more and bigger they are, the more respected you are among your fellow Kraexils. Why? Since the horn acts as an antenna for your strength or power, you guys don't need to know all of that yet," said Yeelgruth.
"You want us to participate in that cruel experiment, which you claimed only had a 45% success rate? Are you crazy? And what if we don't make it through the entire ridiculous experiment?" questioned one of the world's leaders.
"Well, the creature that didn't survive the experiment will turn into a creature that we call Laasuk; picture Laasuk as a zombie, but with unlimited reproductive potential." Yeelgruth clarified.
After that, he continues, "Laasuk can mate with any creature, regardless of gender, species, or age; the creature they mate with will give birth to the Laasuk children. They are pseudo-immortal, so you can't kill them with your weapon, and yes, even your nuclear weapon can't kill them; they can only be killed by... well, why should I tell you guys?" Yeelgruth said it in a really mischievous voice.
Then he displayed a hologram of a Laasuk; the Laasuk have a disfigured face; some have all the characteristics while others are missing one or two; some have four limbs while others have even eight limbs; and they have black slimy skin with a root-like flashing slowly in red light. The tallest among them stands at 8 feet, with the average height being 6 feet. While it may look like they have horns, they are actually quite small and unsightly in comparison to Yeelgruth's stunning antlers.
Don't worry, Yeelgruth assured them, "Laasuk is a stupid creature whose life aim is just to reproduce and consume to survive. Laasuk is a carnivore, by the way. The instant you transform into Laasuk, your thinking is no longer that of a human."
All of the people are caught in a catch-22 because, if they undergo the inhuman experiment, they could evolve into something akin to a superhero or, if the conditions are met, attain the rank of nobility. However, the majority of people are afraid of the experiment due to the insane process and the possibility of turning into those Laasuk creatures.
"I won't participate in that cruel experiment; you expect me to voluntarily obey? Are you fucking crazy?!" cursed one of the world leaders. Then, all of the world's rulers began to reject submission.
Simply shaking his head, Yeelgruth remarked, "What a waste."
After a brief pause, Yeelgruth spoke, "Listen, creatures of planet Earth, for this is the word of my emperor, Vrinceil Neqruax."
"The emperor has decided to cleanse, heal, and purify this planet called Earth because humanity has refused to surrender. The Emperor, however, has chosen to give humanity three days to be ready for the coming conflict out of his limitless kindness. To protect your bogus pride, kindly utilize all of your strength. That is all."
"Oh, and if you're wondering whether we accept prisoners or deserters, the answer is no." Therefore, would you kindly amuse my emperor with your struggle?" Yeelgruth replied in a cocky voice before vanishing into thin air and the enormous spacecraft as well.
After a moment of complete silence, everyone who had been observing the occurrence began to panic or despair about the impending conflict in three days. The decision and acts of the global leader, which will ultimately bring about the end of humanity, have angered the majority of people. People express their unhappiness via tweets or videos, but world leaders quickly convene another summit with all of the world's leaders to determine the best course of action.
Because Kraexil does not accept deserters or prisoners, all world leaders put aside their prejudices and banded together to find a solution. The United Nations declared a state of emergency around the world, directing anyone who did not want to join the conflict or was unable to fight to government-provided refuge.
Additionally, regardless of their gender or ethnicity, those who wish to volunteer to fight for and defend their nation may do so by registering at the nearby temporary army post that will be set up around the globe. The volunteers were then split into two teams: those with any kind of medical, self-defense, or weapon handling experience joined the first line, while the others joined the backup team to assist with tasks like handling food, performing rescues, acting as couriers for packages, or performing other tasks as needed.
This entire process was meant to take more than a month, but it was completed in two days, demonstrating how desperate and yet united humanity was to defend their lives and loved ones. There was the occasional argument, but everyone immediately came to their senses and worked together since everyone needed to work together to survive, and arguments over race, religion, or gender were worthless and a waste of time.
The volunteer receives little training because there is no time, but they adapt quickly to avoid becoming a burden to others. The non-combatants were confined to whatever military facility was available, whether it was an underground shelter or an interior building. Due to their desire to be close to their families or to defend their own country, some of the Space 01 researchers were sent home.
Even though everyone was busy preparing for war, some people took advantage of the absence of authorities and caused chaos and destruction, while others tried to fight back and uphold the law. Many people were tempted by their twisted desires in a world without laws and authorities, resulting in an all-time high crime rate worldwide.
Even with all of this madness, the government only tries to do the bare minimum to stop the crime because it is a waste of resources and manpower. Killing, stealing, raping, and so many other twisted and disturbing desires of humanity came to life and happened to others who were unfortunate enough to evacuate to the provided shelters.
Due to the current state of the world, governments all over the world prioritize the adage "sacrifice one life to save a hundred more." As a result of this policy, many heroes, saviors, and even villains will be created in the future as a result of the hardship, tragedy, and trauma they have endured.
All of the people were busy praying to their respective gods, and they all speculated that the war against the Kraexil would be like the judgment day that their respective gods had promised would come. However, humanity would fight for the lives of their loved ones and themselves, even if it meant dying in the process.
All will be explained in due time. (Author)
