Chapter 36 - Chapter 36

ALMERAC

Explosions could be heard coming from everywhere in the the city the queen called home as almeracians ran around seeking shelter from the falling debris while their forces combatted the invading threat.

"Queen Maxima!" The general called out entering her bed chambers.

Upon learning of the invasion or attack, he hadn't confirmed what was going on yet, the generals main objective was to ensure the queen was safe and in her bunker waiting it out.

Looking around the room, The queen was no where to be seen.

"Queen Maxima!" He shouted against the bathroom door, still no answer.

Taking a few steps back, he rushed forward and kicked in the door to find the Queen indulging in one of her favorite past times, Sex, with one of her mates from her harem.

Everyone in Almerac knew the queen was not interested in marriage or settling down in the near future judging by the group she had specifically selected to be sharing her bed with her. These group of guys were in their peak physical form and in the army with special privileges in that they got whatever they needed.

Maxima was the oldest and only daughter of the royal family thus became the queen when her mother stepped down and had since passed away. Almeracians physiology made it possible for them to develop at a fast rate thus extending their lifespan considerably. By the time Maxima was 6 earth years she already had an adult body and was being taught anything and everything there was to know about Almerac and the crown and how to fight.

She was also the most beautiful woman in Almerac and in combination very many planets. This was made possible by her mother choosing the most compatible and fit mate to breed with but immediately killing him. This was the way of her people.

As soon as the door gave out and broke away, Maxima reached out to her sword near the bathtub and took a stance ready to battle whatever threat walked in while the guy remained oblivious, clearly still in the after throws of his enjoyment.

Pathetic she thought looking down at him then back up.

"What is the meaning of this!" She demanded when the general came through.

"I am sorry to intrude, we have a situation and you were not responding" staring straight in her eyes with the occasional glance towards her body.

Almercians were not ashamed of nudity as they were blessed with one of the best gene pools in the universe. Compared to earth, almost everyone in Almerac qualified to be a model.

"Can it not wait? I was busy" she said looking at her companion who had since regained his senses and was standing beside her exhausted.

"Unfortunately it can not wait your majesty." The queen quirked her eyebrow waiting for him to continue.

"We are under attack"

"What! Who dares!?" She was so pissed off and angry. Who dared attack Almerac, a technologically advanced warrior society that was enthralled with the cycle of constant military activity. In all her years of living no one dared attack her home planet because they had a fully functional and efficient planet defense system which when destroyed then the thousands of qualified warriors to were ready to defend it. Considering their physiology, the army was one of the strongest military forces in the universe. The generals were also pretty smart and repelled each and every attack or sabotage their enemies would launch at them.

"The invading ship is unmarked and not familiar to us. There is no record of it in any of our database and any attempt at communication comes up blank. There is no information on the people attacking too as the specie is not in any of our databases." This was information relayed to him by the third general in command who was currently coordinating their attack against the foe.

"The city is the only place under attack. We suspect the invaders want to capture you first for the rest of the planet to surrender." The general mentioned his theory. So far the palace guards and all the warriors in the city have been able to suppress the attack while reinforcements converge to assist. "I suggest you…"

Already dressed in her warrior armor and wielding her sword, Queen Maxima took off heading out of her palace with the two men following closely behind. The general didn't get to finish his statement already knowing her answer since she was by far the best in combat in their planet. Maxima always preferred to be involved in the fight just like her loyal warriors, leading them to victory.

Outside, Her warriors were fighting the creatures with all they got. The more creatures that fell, the more creatures were released from the main vessel. The vessel in question was very huge, and triangular in shape, capable of withstanding most of their missiles with minimal damage to its exterior. Maxima fumed at this. No one dared to attack her planet and lived to tell the tale. "Kill them all" was all Maxima said before flying off towards the vessel killing any creature she encountered flying.

"Protect the queen at all costs." The general spoke into his earpiece before putting on a jet pack and followed his queen into battle.

2 hours ago. Almerac airspace

The 2 vessels used by the black order hovered monitoring the planet and its defenses. Gamora was studying the defenses on the screens put up for her by the command center operators. Data showed existence of a type of canon that theoretically could detect any spacecraft entering their atmosphere and potentially destroy it using a giant laser depending on the information relayed to it by the planets generals.

"What do we have?" Nebula walked into the command center.

"They have doomsday lasers. Could be a problem upon entry." Gamora explained to her pointing at the three places each laser was located at. They were strategically placed to cover the entire planet depending on the position of the invaders, no one could escape their radar.

Standing close to her watching the screen, Nebula had a thoughtful look on her face. "Let's use the invisibility cloak"

"An advanced civilization like this one would easily detect our cloak" Gamora refuted.

The scientists had earlier turned down the idea on that same basis when she had also suggested to them. Nebulas left eye sparked and glowed showing calculations were in progress in her head.

"According to my calculations our cloak is more advanced than their radar systems." Nebula stated.

Grabbing a tab from one of the scientists, Gamora proceeded to do her own calculations.

"Let's go" she ordered the pilots of both vessels.

"Aaaaaargh!" was heard followed by a thud of a body hitting the floor. Gamora had just murdered the scientist who clearly assumed and did not bother to check with the calculations. A clean stab wound through his chest.

"I hate disappointment."

As expected they bypassed the laser defense system and one vessel plummeted to the ground while the other hovered above the clouds. No sooner had the loud explosion of the vessel landing was heard, than sirens and alarm warnings blazed up, warriors surrounding the huge vessel with weapons activated and charging up.

"Release the chitauri" Gamora spoke up and Nebula smirked at the screen watching the hatch open up as this was her best part during invasions. The chitauri were a specie so vast that a single vessel carried hundreds of thousands of them since they are basically mindless and follow their orders to a T. Their huge number usually takes every civilization by surprise and having no time to gather themselves. A well equipped planet like this needed to be taken by surprise.

Hundreds of chitauri scrambled to get out of the vessel attacking every one in sight. The Almerac warriors recovered from their brief surprise and engaged the invaders. This specie was unknown to them thus did not know any of their weaknesses leading to them aiming for their heads, a sure way of killing anything. The chitauri overwhelmed the first line of defense and killed most of the soldiers while others made tactical retreat waiting for back up. Soon the city was at war with some civilians joining the fight in protecting their home.

"It seems this will not be as easy as we thought" Nebula commented. For the past few minutes of monitoring the invasion, she noted even the civilians joining the fight were able to tear a chitauri in two with their bare hands thus displaying some kind of enhanced strength. This was a new universe to them, meaning every planet they conquer will present challenges they never faced in their universe. This was unfortunate for their fathers plans to bear fruit as soon as possible.

Gamora just watched the screen showing the chitauri pouring out of the vessel non stop with drones armed containing multiple canons in the air laying waste to as many of them as possible with great precision. This must be a very advanced nation in this universe Gamora thought.

The second vessel will have to be put into play especially since the other one had been breached. The vessels internal surveillance system displayed a woman dismantling every guard and security feature while moving through the vessel possibly looking for its control room. Close behind the woman was a man in military uniform equally laying waste to any chitauri he found along the way.
