Chapter 3 - First Contact

Amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City, no one expected the sky to suddenly darken as a meteor-like entity plummeted towards the heart of Manhattan. The massive impact sent shockwaves throughout the city, rattling skyscrapers and breaking windows miles away.

From the epicenter of the crash, a hulking figure emerged: an unknown warrior from another world. Standing at 7 feet tall, with the raw power of a grizzly and a face reminiscent of a Siberian tiger, he was a sight to behold. His red hair contrasted starkly with the sleek black and gold armor that adorned his body.

There was no time for awe or wonder. The city's initial fascination quickly turned to horror as the alien began a murderous rampage, displaying inhuman agility and devastating strength. Panic ensued. New Yorkers, known for their resilience, were scrambling in every direction, trying to flee from this unexpected and unexplainable menace.

The military was summoned immediately. Fighter jets roared overhead, tanks rolled in, and scores of soldiers flooded the streets, all with a singular goal – to neutralize the threat. Despite their overwhelming numbers and firepower, the alien warrior was formidable. It took hours of relentless assault, countless resources, and numerous lives before the creature was finally subdued.

As the dust settled and the mighty warrior lay defeated, his haunting last words echoed through the silence, "They're coming." The sinister laugh that followed sent chills down the spines of those who heard it. What did he mean? Who were "they"? Was this the prelude to an even bigger invasion?

In the aftermath of the battle, investigators discovered an enigmatic box next to the fallen warrior. Inside, they found samples of two unknown substances. More intriguingly, there were documents detailing light speed travel and dossiers on various alien species. These revelations were earth-shattering. Humanity, which had always looked to the stars wondering if they were alone, had their answer. Not only were they not alone, but they were also seemingly inconsequential in the grander scheme of the universe.

The implications were vast. News outlets worldwide broadcasted the alien incident, and the contents of the box were soon public knowledge. As the world grappled with the realization of extraterrestrial life, fear and wonder gripped the hearts of people everywhere. Conspiracy theorists had a field day, claiming prior knowledge or speculating on the meaning of the warrior's final words.

Governments convened emergency meetings. The U.N. held a special session to discuss this new existential threat. Scientific communities clamored for access to study the unearthed materials. Was this the dawn of a new age of interstellar exploration for humanity, or a forewarning of their doom?

The only certainty was that Earth had changed forever. The skies, once a source of wonder and dreams, now loomed ominously overhead, full of mysteries and potential threats. The world was on edge, waiting and watching for what might come next.
