Gaia's Tragedy, 4

I. let the cringe ensue

---

Somewhere within the Messier Galaxy, the Pierce System where a full scale civil war is blowing up between the Messier Congress and the Rebels of Solar.

As the ships slowly goes into orbit of Messier-1, the capital starbase for the Congress, multiple rebel ships appeared from all sides, and hailed ours.

"Civilian! Leave now, or suffer with those scumbags!"

"We're... We're... just here to deliver food supplies to the refugees below. Surely you only want the Congress to die?"

"Fair enough. Going off comms."

"Gaia, get the package in there, as fast as you can!"

No reply.

"Miss Gaia?"

"Comms General, run a full rundown on the ship's crew."

"All clear sir, Miss Gaia is not on the ship."

The lights in the ship suddenly turned into red alert, and blaring alarms were sounded.

"Warning....Warning... Escape Pod 2029 released. All crew steer clear of Bay 19 until the sector is airlocked."

Miss Gaia took the escape pod, and appears to heading towards the larger star of the binary star system in the Pierce System.

"What is she doing?"

Kube and Larry seems to know something is up, and immediately descend into panic mode.

"Move the ship! Move the ship! Warp out of the stars' range!"

Kube relays the message to the rebel ships, which unfortunately, was declined by the rebels assuming that they're working for the Congress and warned them to back off from the planet.

"What is it Larry? What's the fuss?"

"WARP. THE. SHIP. OUT. OF. THE. STAR'S. RANGE."

Pulling out from the orbit of the planet, Kube's ship and mine warped out of the star's range, merely observing what could be happening from a safe distant.

A transmission. It's from... Gaia?

"Thanks for the trip... Captain Stanley. The package, is delivered. I'll be sure to remind It to spare you."

The gravity of the larger sun, tears the space pod apart, ripping open as if it was made of paper, and the flames engulfs what remains of it. There are no life signs, and Gaia is forever lost. Just then, a blinding light appears from the last spot of the space pod, blinding everyone and everything within a solar system radius. Fortunately, the crew and I weren't in range of the blast, and we observed the birth of a new star...?

Upon closer inspection with onboard equipment, a star wasn't birthed, but a monster. A void demon. The fabled beast of the abyss. The ravenous from the remnants of the pods, and began consuming energy from both stars. The rebel ships tried to intervene, but were unsuccessful, as they couldn't damage the beast, not even a scratch.

"Are you seeing this Kube?"

"I waited for this day for 20 years. And I shall have my revenge! Hail all nearby ships! We''ll end this monster once and for all."

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

My English Blog

R. Welcome back to another blog post folks. Today, we're going to talk about... scrolls Whatsapp ... give me a minute...  Huh.  My feelings on the blog and whether it has benefited me thus far. So let's talk about that. Ah... An English Block of Word . Not the best name I came out with, but it's still quite creative. I started this blog last year January on the 6th. At first when I came about the idea of writing a blog, actually no, it wasn't an idea, it was a weekly homework given by our dear teacher Pn Monica, with different topics every week. Honestly, when I first got the assignment to write a blog as homework, I was kind of amazed. Integration of the usage of the Internet and it's on my favourite subject? Score. Of course, this wasn't the first time I started the blog, my third time, in fact, the last two being some websites to share my own written fictional stories to my friends. Given a platform, and a focus to write on makes everything much easier ...

Isolation

S. Welcome back to another blog post folks, to preface this, this blog is going to be a long one, so um leave now if you don't like that. Also, if anyone is here just to see what topic it is for this week... uhm, don't. Because I chose to do a free topic here and did my literature essay in my literature book. So yeah, let's begin. Homo Sapiens . The only species from the genus Homo still exists. Of course, we have half-Neanderthals living around the world, but for the sake of this blog post, let's just say that we only have Homo Sapiens  around, okay? Once upon a time on Earth, there are several species from the genus Homo , 15, in fact, so far. Yet, as of today, 2019, we only know of one that successfully persisted through several wars and famine, disasters and conflicts, the Homo Sapiens . We built civilization from the ground up, stemming from rivers of the world, then conquering the world itself.  As much as I would like to talk about Homo Sapiens an...
