A spaceship on Earth was named “MACS0647-JD.” The ship left the Earth’s atmosphere in a hurry.
A woman stared forlornly at the barren wasteland of Earth below. As the ship
silently moved through space, the face of a celestial goddess appeared in the
night sky, startling the crew members inside. Her face was pale white and her
right eye was completely white. She spoke in a melodic voice to the crew, her
voice loud enough to be heard even from behind the thick glass windows. The
goddess said she was the truth that the crew were searching for. She mentioned
that she was both light and darkness, an entity of balance. Her face then faded
into the darkness, though her eyes still glowed. The eyes transformed into
bright stars and seemed to be guiding the crew into the distance. Was she
trying to warn them of something?
Before long, the crew, along with the captain were
traveling through the “Alpha Centauri” star system in search of a habitable
environment. The ship’s captain had a thick brown beard and alert brown eyes.
The ship’s interior was in pristine condition, not counting the jumble of
electronic equipment stored in the corner by a teenage boy on board. Earth was
meeting its end due to excessive pollution, global warming, and terrible
droughts. Dodging meteors and space rock, they managed to land on a planet in a
“Parallel Universe” to our own. The land was lush green with dozens of willow
trees, and snake-like rivers. The sun was red and two moons appeared in the
sunset sky, one to the west and the other to the east.
Stepping out of their ship, the crew witnessed a fleet
of ships in the air battling several large ships in a “Cosmic Rampage.” Apparently,
elite individuals in the larger ships who deemed themselves genetically “superior”
wanted to eliminate those that stood in their way. The selfish individuals wore
obsidian black suits and medallions made of gold. The rebels wore clothing out
of various materials they could find; animal skins, jeans, and wool. The elite
were outnumbered, but not outmatched. In the blink of an eye, ship after ship
exploded and bodies fell to the ground. It was a brutal scene of war witnessed “Through
the Eyes of Death.” Thankful to be alive, the remaining crew members and the
rebels took to the sky in the ships that were left. The journey was somber and
foreboding. They may have escaped one dangerous situation, but who knows what
else await them? The captain of the Earth crew maneuvered the ship “Around the
Window Star,” a mesmerizing sphere of transparent glass. Through the glass were
images of what could have been a brighter future for Earth, and for each of the
individuals on board. The captain saw himself and his wife relaxing on top of a
green hill with a waterfall in the distance. The sighing of a “Sentimental Child”
was enough to snap the captain out of his trance and veer the ship to safety.
The ship zoomed through tunnels of asteroids that were barely moving, features
that the captain called the Orion Gates. Indeed, a woman with blonde hair
thought she could see the cluster of bright stars in the Orion constellation not
too far away. The captain thought that the goddess wanted him and his crew to
help people from other planets. Then again, he could be mistaken.
After the ship was put on autopilot, the captain bent
down to comfort the young alien boy. His skin was white as snow and his eyes
were vivid green. He was one of the rebels who tended to his people on the
ground, lucky to be alive. His family was gone and he looked out the window, as
if doing so would make his planet appear again. A “Rhythm of Orion” traveled
through a nearby speaker, the music describing various tales from Greek
mythology. The main theme told the story of Orion the hunter and how he got
into conflict with the earth goddess Gaia. The young boy did not understand the
language in the song, but listening to it helped calm him for a moment.
Toward the back of the ship, a dark haired teenage boy
was playing a video game on a PS4 that he was able to set up. His avatar was
driving a car during a high speed chase. Demons raced after him on fiery metal
chariots. The teen quickly pressed a series of buttons, resulting in his avatar
shooting down the monsters. The teen cheered in victory as he made it to the
next level. His happiness turned to horror when a devilish face filled the
entire screen, jaw opened wide. Before he knew what was happening, he found
himself sucked into the game. The captain and crew were soon sucked in as well.
“Level Fvck you” appeared in glaring red letters on the screen.
The captain and his crew soon found themselves in the
fiery world of hell. The captain was surprised that they didn’t instantly die
of heatstroke. The sky was blood red and deep cracks ran along the ground like
open scars. Maniacal laughter was heard not too far away. A pair of red eyes
peered at the individuals through a black haze. A red-skinned demon appeared,
the same one that had freaked out the teenager. The teen concentrated and fired
blasts of light from his hands. He gestured for his companions to run, which
they did. Above the teen, a bar was half yellow and half black. The colored
portion grew smaller as the devil creature shot more balls of fire at the teen.
His health was fading fast. Would he die in real life if he died in this crazy
game? He cleared his mind and ran after his companions. Before the monster
could land a final blow with his black trident, a beam of blinding light struck
the demon in the back. The light had come from a giant ray gun controlled by an
android in the distance. More droids played angelic music loudly from a
speaker. Another droid pulled the crew members toward a city that was perched
on top of a cliff. The monster cried out in pain at the music and the light
that had started to burn his skin. The droids had figured out the “Devil’s
Bane.” Unable to fight any longer, the monster disappeared in black flames.
Once the crew arrived at the city, the captain could
tell how dysfunctional it really way. Though the outside gave the perception of
new pristine buildings, a heavenly oasis in the hellish desert, thing were not
as they appeared. Dozens of humans sat helplessly in alleyways, some begging
for food, others taking several gulps of alcohol. A light blue winged demon
that had sharp teeth like a shark, fought off gang members like they were ants.
The teen mentioned weakly that they were
trapped spirits, unaware of the outside world. The captain gulped at the
realization that they could be trapped in the game forever. So much for finding
a new home.
Up on a podium, was a ranting cyborg man addressing a
crowd of spirits and horrifying creatures. Half of his face was human with
blond hair and a blue eye, the other half was a sheet of metal with a bionic
blue eye. The captain glared at the cyborg in disgust as the hybrid boasted
about being sent to the place by a higher power. What sounded like facts to him
was merely him having a “God Complex” to everyone else. The crowd looked on in
anger and fear as a group of droids appeared, herding the crowd in and backing
up the lunatic cyborg. “Serve the Hybrid” appeared in signs and advertisements
all around them. No way was the captain going to surrender and let himself be
restrained by ridiculous rules.
The captain took a deep breath and pushed his way
through the crowd to face the final boss. The droids eyed him with “Mechanical
Hatred” and fired a series of blasts from their weapons. The captain and the
teen dodged the attacks, while the woman crew member landed a series of punches
at the droids coming from behind. Forcing himself to calm down, the captain
repeated a “Mantra” in his head to help ease the fear from his mind. Retrieving
a weapon from a fallen droid, the captain fired at the tyrant cyborg. The enemy
yelled and fell to the ground in a heap. “Level Complete” appeared in green
letters in the air in front of them. A force pulled the captain into the sky
and before he knew it, he and his crew were transported safely back on the
space ship. They had been “Through Hell and Beyond” and still managed to
survive. The captain promptly broke the television with his foot and unplugged
the game. The goddess face appeared in space again, looking at the tired crew
members. Her eyes told them that their troubles were far from over.
