THE ZILLIONAIRES XIV

Ryan was sleeping when he suddenly woke up, and almost started to scream. He shot up in bed and said to himself, "Every since those aliens attacked, I haven’t been able to sleep very well."

He was drenched in sweat and perspiration. Even though the room was only 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it felt like 110 to Ryan.

He had just had a nightmare that the aliens had come back, but this time Keith and he couldn’t stop them. He woke up right before he was killed by the aliens’ death rays.

Ryan tossed and turned, but he couldn’t get back to sleep. Finally, at around 4 o’clock in the morning, he got up, got dressed, got his keys, and went to his secret underground lab.

He went to the living room and pressed the window on the farm house in the painting on the wall. Ryan felt the floor fall away beneath him and he slid down the tunnel to the hall that led to his lab. He hit the trampoline and bounced to the ground. Ryan walked down the hall. When he got to the outer door, he pulled two keys from his pocket and unlocked the latches with one. With the other key he unlocked the 6-digit access code cover in the middle door. Ryan put in the access code.

When he came to the inner door, the automatic "Voice and Password Identifier" said "Name and password identification please."

Ryan replied by saying, "Ryan Hall Carter, password: Zilionaire 543.21."

Then a keyboard came out of the wall, and Ryan put in the ultimate password. ******* is what the password looked like on the screen.

"Good morning Ryan, I will now teleport you to the lab." the computer said.

Right then a bright and colorful laser light came down from the ceiling and Ryan was teleported into his lab through his T. G. D. (Thermal Gravity Device.)

One part of his lab was filled with miscellaneous items from all around the world. He bought them, made them better, and used them whenever he needed, like on a mission.

Another part of his lab was filled with all the weapons he had invented. They were all in order and categorized.

Another part housed the cartridges for his homemade weapons. He had a whole room, full of them.

Above him, around 50 feet, was the ceiling. It had a large window at the top, though which he could see all of the stars and the moon.

He walked across the room to all of his computers. (They were all categorized too. In fact, everything he had was categorized and labeled. He had also put the categories into one of his many computers.)

"Hmmm," Ryan said to himself, "Which one did I put the list on?" He looked at the computers and tried to remember which one he had the Alien List on.

He couldn’t remember so he went to a computer that sat in a corner all by itself. When he got to it he turned it on.

There was a humming sound, then the computer went to the main screen on ZS (Zillionaire Soft) Windows 9.X, the latest in technology.

It wasn’t in any stores then. Ryan had it because he invented it.

He went to ZS DOS and typed in the command line:

It went to the directory. Ryan then typed:

Command: Find file Alien.sys

The computer hummed, then the file Alien.sys came up.

Then a block came up on the screen and said Enter password:

Ryan typed in the password.

When he was done a search file came up. Ryan typed:

The computer gave one solid answer. . .

Ryan went back to the dos start/end program and typed in the command line:

He clicked enter and the screen went black. He turned off the computer. Then he went to computer #57.

He tuned it on and went to the search file he invented.

He typed in:

Find alien list

He typed in:

all.info.exe

The he got a list of all the information on the aliens that he could.

He click on "Source Code" and the computer showed him the source code.

He searched through it for a while until he got tired. He double checked the source code then, just to make sure he hadn’t missed anything going over just a few minutes ago. As he was going over the mother alien’s plans and plots from the last time the aliens came, he came to a secured part. It had a password.

"Not to worry," he said to himself, "I’ll just bypass it."

He then took a series of numbers and letters and in less than ten minutes, he had bypassed it.

The part that was locked was the source code to where all the aliens had come from.

Then a ton of number and letter sequences came up on the computer screen and showed a very short file. It read:

Ryan put it through his decoder system and in a few minutes, it came back. This time it was in plain English. The message said:

We inhabitants of Trichton are coming back to take over the miserable planet Earth on March 10, 2009. We will not fail this time! We are prepared.

"Oh no!" Ryan exclaimed. He looked at his watch. "Double oh no! Today is February 19, 2009! March 10 is less than a month away!

He then copied the file to a Zip disk, and ran up to Keith’s room.

"KEITH, KEITH!" Ryan screamed when he got there, "You’ll never believe this!"

"Huh? Never believe what?" Keith asked, sitting up in bed. He squinted his groggy eyes at his brother. "What do you want for crying out loud?! It’s 5 o’clock in the morning you idiotic jerk! A guy’s gotta get some sleep around here! Man!"

"Now that your done with your dumb, stupid, retarded, idiotic, moronic, pea-brained, gut runching-"

"JUST SHUT UP AND GET THE STUPID THING OVER WITH!!!!!"

"Fine. I have come up here to inform you that the aliens are coming back. This time, they say they won’t fail."

"Yeah, right."

"No. It’s true. I have just decoded a message from the aliens. It’s short and straight to the point. They are coming back to destroy the earth in a month. That’s what the message said. You have to believe me."

"All right, all right. I’ll believe you if you can give me proof." Keith said, who was completely wide awake by this time.

"I’ll give you proof all right. Get your clothes on and come with me. We have to go down to the lab to get the proof."

Keith pulled on some socks, blue jeans, a red flannel shirt over his T-shirt, and some black boots. He followed his brother to the lab.

Ryan turned on the coffee machine and went to computer # 57. Keith went right behind him.

Ryan pointed to the alien message on the screen for his brother to see. Keith read it and his mouth dropped open. It was true. The aliens were going to attack in less that a month!

"So what do we do now?" Keith asked.

"What do you think? We’re going to prepare to stop the aliens. We could organize a world wide attack plan. It could be done in a month."

"That’s a great idea. Only and expert could think up that one. Yeah, right."

That day Ryan worked on his computer and figured out where the aliens where going to attack. They were planning to hit the U.S. Capitol and then spread out to the entire United States of America and finally the world.

He told his brother and Keith made attack plans and distributed them throughout the world after he convinced everyone that the aliens were coming back.

Every weapon, every tank, every airplane was made ready to fight. Keith and Ryan had already designed virus after virus after virus after virus after virus to put into the mother ship, if there were force fields on the ships. They also built thousands of Mammoth Tanks, Missile Silos, Megaton Bombs, V-3023 Rocket Launches, R-2 Super Planes, and a ton of other weapons. Ryan and Keith knew that they would save the world. They had to do it.

Finally, a week passed.

Only 2 weeks left to go till the aliens came. Most people had left and went to the underground base camps that Ryan and Keith had built 5 miles under the ground. They weren’t taking any chances that the aliens would come sooner than they had said they would. Ryan and his brother had been building the bases for almost a decade. The purpose was to be able to keep people safe during times of war or whatever else there was.

Keith was working on his new Death Charge Blaster in his lab when he got the idea of building a super telescope to see to the 10^th planet Trichton and monitor the movements of the aliens. He asked Ryan to help him. It only took them a week.

Only one week left till the aliens came.

People began to cry and pray that the aliens wouldn’t kill them all.

Keith monitored Trichton and discovered that three days before the aliens were supposed to destroy earth, they left the planet and headed towards earth. Keith contacted the U.S. Capitol and told them about the aliens coming.

He watched the aliens until the mother ship slowed down and floated in space, about 5000 miles above the earth. This mother ship was twice as big as the last one, and probably had twice as many smaller alien ships on the inside.

There was only one day left till the aliens attacked.

The mother ship opened up and the smaller ships poured out and positioned themselves all around the entire world, just like last time. This time though, Ryan, Keith, and the rest of the world were ready for them, with fifteen times as many weapons and soldiers as last time. The ships opened up and before they could fire down on the earth, the world attacked. Everybody attacked the ships closest to them. The people fired at the ships. The first missiles shot at the ships and didn’t get there. There were still force fields on them!

"Oh, man. They still have those gut-runching shields up!" Ryan exclaimed and shouted into his radio, "RETREAT!!! EVERYBODY RETREAT!!! THE ALIENS STILL HAVE THEIR SHIELDS!!! RETREAT OR YOU’LL BE KILLED!!! WE HAVE TO USE THE VIRUSES TO STOP THEM!!!"

All of the people and soldiers turned around and retreated. Ryan and his brother would have to plant the virus before they could attack the aliens.

The alien ships destroyed everything that they were over. The list of things destroyed was long. These are just a few of the thing that were destroyed:

Big Ben.

Notre Dame Cathedral.

Taj Mahal.

Statue of Liberty.

Eiffel Tower.

Alpine Castle.

Carter Mansion.

U. S. Capitol.

White House.

Pentagon.

The list stretched on for 2 more pages.

Ryan and his brother got into there Space Explorer and flew to the mother ship. Ryan drove it. It took about 20 minutes to get there. When they did get there, Keith went online with the mother ship’s computer system. A minute later, they were connected.

"Bingo. We’re online with the mother ship." Keith said.

"We can upload the virus now. Then we’ll wait for about ten minutes and then we’ll attack the aliens."

"Well hurry up with that virus. It’s cold up here and I’m scared to death that at any moment now, the mother ship will shoot us and we’ll die."

"That’s O.K.. I’m scared too. It makes me shiver in fright just to look at the mother ships size. I mean, that thing is HUGE! I just want to get this over with and get the devil out of here."

Keith uploaded the virus and Ryan flew them back home. After they got in their planes, they, with the rest of the world, went to attack the aliens. The aliens were all heading towards new places to destroy.

Ryan fired the first missile. When it hit the ship and caused a chunk to get blown out of it, everybody cheered. The virus was working! Everyone fired and fired and fired again. The aliens were losing!

Little did Ryan and Keith know, the aliens had counted on that.

Once they destroyed all the ships, the mother ship sent out twice as many. Two in each spot!

Then the aliens destroyed the virus and turned the shields back on.

"OH NO!!!" Ryan exclaimed, "Retreat, I repeat, RETREAT!"

Everyone retreated but was chased by two of the smaller ships, just like last time.

The pilots of the planes were good at maneuvering the aircrafts, so they didn’t get hit by the aliens rays. The people helped each other out and shot the aliens following their friends. Soon, the aliens had lost about 12,000 ships and the world had lost about 3,000.

Keith and Ryan flew, with the aliens still on their tails.

"Ryan, Ryan, get these alien off me now! I’m almost out of Solar Energy Backup!" Keith shouted into his Radio Watch L-X while trying to doge the blasts.

"O.K. Keith. I’ll get it for you if you get the ones following me." Ryan said.

"Duh!!!!!"

Ryan flew up fast and skillfully shot the first alien ship, blowing it into a quadrillion pieces.

The next missile he shot soared past the alien, missing it by a mile. Instead, the missile went ahead and hit Keith’s right wing!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Keith screamed. He pulled the ejector seat latch and was shot into the sky over what remained of the city.

His plane turned right and began to tilt towards a building as it fired all of the 1,200 missiles. It was probably a mechanical error from when the missile hit it’s wing.

The missiles ran into the skyscraper at thousand of miles an hour. They hit the building and knocked out half of the bottom. It began to fall over, then stopped, leaving it at an awkward angle.

The plane flew to it and knocked out the rest of the bottom. The tall skyscraper fell over and smashed one of the aliens while another ran into the side of the building as it fell, blowing up in a huge explosion. The skyscraper shattered as it hit the ground and other structures. The damage would probably cost about 1,000,000,000 dollars to repair. Talk about expensive!

Keith landed right on top of an army tank as it was retreating back to the base, to prepare for the next attack.

Meanwhile, Ryan was still being chased by another pesky alien ship. It would die before it gave up on Ryan. Ryan was smarter than it, so the alien didn’t realize what Ryan had done when he flew up in a loop. Now the hunter had become the hunted. Ryan fired at the ship about 4 times until the missiles hit and destroyed it. Ryan flew back to the base, and hoped to find his brother.

Ryan got to the base before Keith did.

Keith had opened the tank and crawled in. There were about 3 people in it besides him. They immediately pondered him about what had happened. Keith told them the story, from what he saw. They reached the base about an hour later.

Keith and Ryan met up with Ryan at the base.

They walked towards the deserted coffee room as they talked about the viruses and what types to use. They opened the doors and walked in. All of the lights where off. They felt around for a light switch by the door but couldn’t find one. Just then, they held a scrapping sound, like rusted metal over rusted metal, in the inky black darkness.

"What was that?" Keith asked.

"Don’t know. Let’s just find a light switch and turn it on so we can see what it is."

The finally found one and switched it on. The coffee room lit up, revealing an alien in the corner, 30 feet away!

Keith and Ryan screamed and fired their guns at the beast. It finally died.

"Whoa!" Keith shouted.

The brothers went to the general and told him about the alien. The general rushed to the containment center and found out that an alien had escaped.

"So that’s where the alien came from." Ryan said.

Ryan and his brother began to make viruses to put into the mother ship. Keith built one, while Ryan made 9 others. Ryan built normal ones while Keith made an undestroyable one that would last for 36 hours and could not be un-done. They sent the viruses to the mother ship on a 150,000,000,000 Megaton Bomb inside of the nose cone on a V-7027 Rocket Launcher.

Ryan pressed the red button marked FIRE. The rocket blasted off and flew straight towards the mother ship. It sent in the viruses ahead of time and ran into the ship 15 minutes later.

People on earth could see a giant explosion, all that remained of the mother ship. The explosion looked like a growing ball of light blue that grew darker as it grew bigger.

All of the people cheered.

All that was left of the mother ship was draw to earth by the gravitational pull. Most of the pieces burned up before they hit the ground.

The people began to attack the aliens.

Every war vehicle on earth gathered around the ships, waiting for the final showdown.

"ATTACK!!!" Ryan said after what seemed like a century.

All the weapons were fired. There was a ton of damage done to the ships. The aliens began to fire back. There was more damage done to the ships than the people. Finally, the ships began to fall. Everyone sped away, just as the ships crashed to the ground, exploded, and created giant holes in the ground.

Everyone cheered like it was New Year’s.

"Well," said Ryan, "I guess we’re heroes again for the second time against the aliens."

"Yeah, Ryan,"Keith smiled, "I guess we are."
