Chapter 3 - Chapter 3- Planet Luce and Planet Aurelia

"What are these creatures? They look different. I wonder if they're intelligent like us." One of the six creatures said as he walked closer to Xander.

Xander instinctively moved towards his team and the military fearing what these creatures could do.

"Are you involved in the disappearance of our ultimate weapon?" The alien asked as he moved closer.

The military powered up their weapons and started attacking the creatures infront of them. They used laser rifles and plasma cannons. Just as everyone thought they had been victorious, something unexpected happened. The aliens started to heal themselves.

"Is this all the attack you've got?", The alien said as he swung his arm. In response to that, a soldier's head fell down. Every one was horrified at the scene. The alien continued swinging his arm. The military infront suffered severe wounds and eventually died. Leaving the team of Astrum. The team picked up the weapons threatening the aliens to stop the movements.

"I thought we were going to use our weapons. These creatures are weak. We don't have to use our weapons." An alien laughed out. The started performing the same movements with more speed. Xander lost an arm whilst trying to defend himself and his chubby defenseless friend.

"George, you have to leave from here. Use the teleporter and ask for more help.", Xander exclaimed as he tried using the plasma cannon with one arm. He continuous missed his shots but continued shooting to be a distraction to the aliens. More of this teammates died and some suffered severe wounds. George hesitated to run but he had this thought that if he doesn't go, everyone on earth won't know that there as an existence of extra terrestrial life somewhere in space. This could be dangerous. George run towards the exit but was spotted by one of the aliens. The alien tried attack George but Dr. Emily moved towards that direction to take on the attack.

"Dr. Emily!!!!", Xander exclaimed. He looked through his bag and raised up the strange tablet with the one arm that he had."Isn't this what you're looking for?", He said as he had an evil looking smirk.

"Creature, stay away from that. Drop it right now.", The aliens said as they all pointed their weapons which looked like the rifles used by humans but bigger versions towards Xander, who was the last man standing. The aliens looked terrified and that gave Xander some confidence.

"Whatever this thing is, I'll destroy it right here and now!!" He shouted as he dropped the strange tablet with great force.

"...."

Nothing happened.

"Did you think that a drop can destroy our ultimate weapon? You're just joking. In fact say your last works because your life ends here. There's a chance that there's more of you just like us. We'll find them all and destroy them. We can't have too many intelligent creatures roaming freely here in space." The aliens shouted as they all were ready to shoot.

Xander wasn't giving up. If they're going to shoot and kill him, the ultimate weapon must go in the grave with him. He bent. to pick the tablet before they could shoot. His blood dropped on the tablet and before everyone, the tablet glowed and flew infront of Xander. It started to disintegrate and the particles were pushing their way into Xander's eyes. The aliens started to shoot their rifles which came in beams of light but to no avail.

[Congratulations, you have successfully become a player.]

That was the last thing Xander saw before losing his consciousness.

Meanwhile, inside the forest, George was trying to power up the teleportation chamber. He had little knowledge about it so it was difficult for him.

"Dr. Emily, I wish you were here.", he said as he tried to boot it up. "This is difficult."

As he continued with his quest to go back to earth, another spaceship crashed into the jungle causing a shaking in the jungle. This made George lose his balance.

"W-what was that?", Curiously driven, George went on to find out. This time the spaceship that crashed looked life the UFO he had always seen on television.

"Hugh?". He could see two creatures coming out of the spaceship. This time, they didn't look like the ones he had encountered with his team. They were different. They had the features of a normal human but had dark purple skin and big black eyes as well. They wore strange uniforms that covered their bodies from head to toe. He counted three of them with one holding a strange looking device with the shape of a sphere.

George took out a rifle he had been holding and pointed in their direction towards them and shivering.

"A-A-Are you guys friends or foe?", He asked with his laser rifle pointed at them.

"My my, what do we have here. We come in peace anyways. We are here to stop an activity that the Luces are into. My name is Kirk." The alien with the strange device answered.

"Luces? What do you mean?"

The alien explained that some species of alien were creating a destructive weapon in order for them to take over the whole universe. The description of those aliens were like that of the ones George as well as Xander and his team had encountered.

"I know them. I'll show you where they are." George said in hopes of saving his only friend. He led the way to the strange facility and the new aliens followed.

"So what planet are the Luces from?", George asked

"Just as their names, they are from the planet Luce." Kirk answered.

"Oh I see and what are you. Sorry if I sound mean"

"We are Aurelians from the planet called Aurelia."

George and the Aurelians spent their time talking about their respective planets and technologies. He learnt that Aurelia was a peaceful planet with highly advanced civilization.

George was fascinated by the creatures' stories. He had never imagined that there were other intelligent life forms in the universe.

Eventually, they had reached the facility and it was very quiet. George and his new friends sneaked in.

"Take this. You might need it. Your weapon needs improvements in order to take on the Luces." Kirk said as he handed a pistol looking weapon to George.

George lead them to the place the fight went on and to their surprise, the six luces had been brutally killed.

"What happened here?", Kirk asked as he examined the bodies of the Luces and that of the humans. George saw his friend's body lying unconsciously. But was shocked to see his other arm fixed like nothing happened to it.

"He's breathing." George said as he checked Xander's pulse

"That's a good thing. But the question is, who killed the Luces? I know them to be very strong so how???"

"Xander's the only person who'd be able to answer that question. "

With that, they all left the facility. The Aurelians planned on carrying more investigation. They headed of to where the teleportation machine had been set up.

"Can you set this up?" George asked Kirk.

"I don't know. But I'll try." Kirk said as he started working on the teleportation chamber. As he clicked on the buttons a few beeps were heard and George stepped inside with his unconscious friend.

"Take this. So that we can communicate more." Kirk said as he handed George the strange sphere device. The machine was powered up and George was eager to tell Joshua and many others what they had just encountered.

Meanwhile, in a distant planet,

"I managed to escape boss."

"This can't be. I made sure that the system will only recognise our dna. So how did it fuse with an alien."

"We were shocked boss. This was something that wasn't calculated."

"Its a good thing that you're alive. You'll recognise that alien. We must have that particular alien in our custody. Never did I imagine that there'll be another type of alien existing in the universe apart from the Aurelians and us."
