A Sign

Ron walked dejectedly down the cold blustery beach. He debated proposing to Dora. He was poor, can’t even buy her a decent ring. Her family disliked him.
He saw a tiny glint a few steps away. He picked it up and cleaned the sand off.
It was a gold ring, its precious stone long gone.

Pluto

Low on fuel but millions of miles from the nearest base, Brazzk had only one chance in 247 Earth years. Below, Gwarsl directed him to the exact location for the jump.
The moment came and the portal opened. Brazzk’s spacecraft was hurtled at light speed towards the sun, to stop 5 miles from its surface.

Neptune

Hidden in the fog, the attackers’ headquarters had lain undetected for centuries.
Brazzk and Gwarsl launched the weapon at the precise moment of Neptune’s alignment with the Earth.
Far away, the attackers turned their missiles on the nearest aircraft. One by one, they fell, while the airplanes made by men sat silent on the ground.

Uranus

Exhausted, Brazzk stumbled on the frozen surface. His journey to its metal core had almost killed him. But in his hand was the only weapon that could destroy Earth’s attackers.
Gwarsl watched him with burning hatred. He turned his ship.

Saturn

Brazzk was stunned at his discovery. The attempts at securing the solar system had failed.
Thousands of spacecraft surrounded the planet, waiting for the signal to attack. They’ve been well hidden in the chunks of rock and ice making up the planet’s rings. At the signal, the rings exploded outward, sending the attackers toward Earth.

Jupiter

The winds from the Great Red Spot swirled around the alien. His commander had sent him to destroy the enemy scouts that patrolled this solar system.
He saw one approach. He moved toward it and failed to see the missile launched by the other scout.
Fatally wounded, the alien sank deep inside the gaseous planet.

Mars

Gwarsl fumed at Brazzk’s narrow escape. He hid in the sand dunes, knowing that Brazzk will pass through the red planet. This time, he planned to use a heat-seeking missile.
Brazzk’s craft flew near a towering mountain. Gwarsl unleashed the missile. It narrowly missed its target and continued straight into the crater of Olympus Mons.

Earth

Weakened but alive, Brazzk entered the blue planet, looking for a suitable being to nurture him. He found a creature whose biology was hospitable to his needs. He planned to be a symbiont only for a short time.
Unfortunately, the duck was sick and could not tolerate hosting him. Brazzk barely escaped with his life.

Venus

Brazzk flew his ship through the planet’s thick clouds, searching for the secret landing pad hidden on the Maxwell Montes.
Gwarsl trained his megaton rocket gun on the unsuspecting craft. Trails of smoke followed the rocket on its way to its target.
The injured spaceship wavered then dropped seven miles to the hot valley floor.

Mercury

The planet’s gray dust hung suspended in the airless atmosphere. Gwarsl maneuvered his ship to avoid the mountains, keeping in their shadow. He saw the other craft hover and knew he was being watched.
He growled his impatience. The other ship resumed its course.
Gwarsl returned to his patrol, sure that his day would come
