13: Extinction
A M A N H A D appeared to have been running away from something as he kept looking back over his shoulder. He was young and dressed in a suit when he stumbled over some trash cans in a street that was in between a couple of buildings that were aligned along the outskirts of the city.
He was struggling to get up when a another man appeared at the end of the street.
"There you are!" the man growled and something glinted in one of his gloved hands—a knife.
He had a beanie over his head and a dark leather jacket.
The man in the suit had apparently walked into the wrong part of town that fine morning when he had colluded with this other man who was lurking in the shadows like a spider, awaiting for prey to fall into its web.
Having spotted the knife, the man in the suit had shoved the other guy and tried to make a run for it only to end up getting lost.

The Ultimate Speedverse 14: A New Hope
A I O N D E S C E N D E D B U T still remained airborne, hovering slightly above the four of them. Natasha then stepped forward. "Natasha. . ." both Diana and Carol called but she ignored them. She walked until she was less than a foot away from where the god hovered and that was when she finally turned to the others. "It's our only hope," her voice was so soft it was almost like a whisper. With a wave of his hand, Aion commanded the lightning to stop flashing and it did. The thick green mass that was eating everything had also stopped. The people who had not yet been touched by the destructive substance were running everywhere in panic also stopped, freezing in their tracks like the god had done to them before. Everything had stopped, save for Natasha, Diana, Carol and Carter. From ab
The Ultimate Speedverse 15: Once Upon A Light-Year
. . . I N T H E B E G I N N I N G, there was nothing but nothingness itself, with no time. No reality. No matter; except for the pre-existing primordial state of the blank universe. No light. An endless void of total darkness. This changed when there was a sudden explosion. An explosion that cast a bright light illuminating all through the vast emptiness as if a massive light bulbhad been turned on. The primordial state of pre-existence had grown weary of its long-term inactivity which had then resulted into the ignition of what was but a tiny little spark. A spark that would unfold into a chain of multiple cosmic reactions and hence . . .The Big Bang itself! From deep within the explosion, the first of the debris split into three, forming the first objects to ever exist in the cosmos and with the energy from the huge explosion, each of the three pieces acquired a different power with w
The Ultimate Speedverse 16: Calling All Units
C A P T A I N S U S A N C L A I R E had been seated behind her desk inside her office at the APD Peachtree precinct when the force field had taken over the city. There were several papers on her desk scattered everywhere, meaning she had been busy. She had been busy ever since the FBI had showed up at the precinct not less than two years ago, right after she had taken down Atlanta's most wanted criminal—Trevor Brandon. The maniacal and sociopathic man whose name had once grown infamously after his father, Blake Brandon, had died back in 2016. Commander Blake Brandon, as he had been titled, had been the head of Atlanta's National Guard for over fifteen years until his career had been cut short with a bullet taken by a sniper right through his head, ending both his life and career in a mess of splattered brains. Susan at the time, was only but a detecti
The Ultimate Speedverse 17: Old Friends
M O R E T H A N A thousand miles away from the earth's surface, the large and white spherical lump of dust and craters had been peacefully trekking on its revolutionary course when its movement had been disturbed. There was a violent crash just next to it, with the vast vacuum of outer space reacting to the sudden cosmic energy surge after a large crack abruptly manifested like the fabric of space was being torn open. The crack emitted a white glow before another crack followed, looking like a wide bright line suspended vertically. More cracks followed, rupturing just next to the moon. Flashes of white lightning were then streaking out of the cracks, widening them into forming a hole and creating a brilliant spectacle in space. Several lightning bolts even struck against the surface of the moon, forming miniature craters on the white sandy ground. The hole increa
The Ultimate Speedverse 18: Dark Times Ahead
I T W A S T H R E E o'clock in the afternoon when back at Carter•Labs, the loud sound of a blaring alarm had gone off, getting everyone's attention. Carter had rushed to a monitor where he was then looking at something he had never seen before. Warning! Extraterrestrial breach identified. The voice of Sally, the AI followed after the alarm. "What is it?" asked Katie. From the monitor, Carter could see a 3-D scaled representation of the earth's atmosphere and outer space where the different layers of the atmosphere were aligned with different colors; the innermost layer, the Troposphere being white; then theStratosphere with yellow; then the Mesosphere orange; the Thermosphere and Ionosphere green and all the way to the Exosphere and Magnetosphere which had a rich dark color. The dark colored space appeared
The Ultimate Speedverse 19: Bridge of Death
O V E R F I V E T H O U S A N D miles away from Berlin, where the first high energy surge penetration had just occurred followingviolent flashes of lightning streaming down on the city, it had still been unclear what had just happened when the same thing went on to ensue in San Francisco at around nine in the bright summer morning. There happened to be a large brown minivan that was just entering the vast orange structure that stretched high above the Pacific Ocean—the Golden Gate bridge. The minivan had then joined the long line of traffic that had formed along the bridge after a certain disturbance had occurred. In the back of the car, there sat two kids—a girl probably in her teens with short dark hair and adjacent to her was a boy who looked twice younger than her. Both of them were dark skinned, with the girl engrossed in her phone while the boy was looking out his open car
The Ultimate Speedverse 20: “You Still Owe Me A lunch”
T H E P E N T A G O N A L O N G with the Secretary of the US Department of Defense were counting their losses after the unexplainable events, all of them petrified and out of tactics following the decimation of the United Nations military with multiple deaths reported from the attacks in San Francisco and Berlin. Whoever this enemy was seemed to be in no mood of getting down to a nice cocktail and discussing about world peace. The Secretary and the rest of the world leaders were just a statement away from declaring an international state of emergency, having watched the extra-terrestrial attacks from behind their seats but that was as far as they could go. They may have been big with words, politics, diplomacy and all that, but they were nowhere close to what the men and women who had been slaughtered in the most violent of ways by the enemy that had come from above.
The Ultimate Speedverse 21: The Summit
I T I S N O W up to you and the world. These had been the last words uttered to Madam Victoria Courtney by the President of the United States. The short middle-aged woman was seated in her office when disaster had struck and stealing a quick glance from her tiny platinum wrist watch, the short thin silvery hour hand strip lying between “1” and “2” while the longer minute hand strip pointing directly at “6” — one and a half hours had passed since the first ‘invasion’. The one that had hit the west coast in San Francisco. The reason why of all people the President had decided to engage in one of the most complicated conversations with her was because of her authoritative status of course. Victoria Courtney, or as she was formally addressed, Madam Secretary; was the Chief Executive head of the US Department of Defense and her line of work could not have been of utte
