BREAKING NEWS!
8 News Now Las Vegas begins to broadcast live on the air. Hosting tonight's show is Brian Loftus, dressed in a crisp black suit with a blue tie. He is accompanied by his female co-anchor, Denise Valdez, who herself is wearing a green dress.
They sit together behind a desk on the set of the Las Vegas local news station ready to announce some breaking news live from downtown Las Vegas.
Valdez: Good Evening! Tonight we start with a developing story from downtown Las Vegas, where it appears local law enforcement officers are entangled in a shoot-off. Thanks for joining us here at 22:00, I am Denise Valdez.
Loftus: Good evening! And I am Brian Loftus. Roughly forty-five minutes ago, we were made aware of some kind of disturbance that had begun outside the Natural History Museum. Originally it was mistaken as another Black Lives Matter protest however, responding officers were shocked at what they discovered.
Footage begins to roll of what appears to be an unidentified dropship of some kind, landed outside of the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. Two large assailants, likely more than seven feet tall, are holding back armed police forces with what appears to be some kind of laser rifles.
Valdez: We now go live to our on-the-scene reporter, April O’Toole.
April’s face begins to be broadcasted on screen. April, a beautiful redhead dressed in a tight-fitting yellow outfit, is taking refuge behind her news van.
Valdez: April, from what you can tell, please tell us what the situation is currently from the scene.
April is struggling to hear from the studio. She has one hand over her ear to try and block out the gunfire.
April: DENISE! IS THAT YOU?!?
The gunfire continues, April continues to soldier through.
April: Denise, it’s a warzone down here. It all started just after 21:00, a large ship which you can see just behind me landed in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard North, regardless of the incoming traffic. Several cars swerved out of the way to avoid the landing aircraft, however, three vehicles crashed, and medical services have yet been unable to reach those trapped victims yet. From what I understand, according to the eyewitness accounts of numerous locals, five individuals emerged from the aircraft.
Pictures of the five unidentifiable “assailants” are broadcast.
April: My sources tell me that three of these individuals forced their way into the Natural History Museum, and have yet to emerge. Soon after they broke into the museum, a dozen police cars arrived on the scene, and the remaining two assailants began to open fire on the police force. Now Denise… Brian… the kind of weaponry these assailants are using… it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
An overweight man in a wife-beater, steps into the shot with April.
April: With me now is Donald Michaels, a local shooting range owner and gun enthusiast, Donald has taken a look at the weapons currently being used in the shoot-off behind me.
She turns and faces Donald, ready to ask him a question.
April: Donald, in your expert opinion, please can you explain to me what kind of weaponry is being used behind us?
Donald: Well April, firstly can I say I am a BIG fan of your work. I’m honoured to be standing here with you, maybe once this is all over we can…
April: Please Donald, this is a crisis, can you focus on the task at hand?
Donald takes a quick look at April’s breasts, then answers the question. His little look is noticed by April.
Donald: Well you see April, those guns you see over there, they very much look to me like they are Chinese.
April: Chinese? I didn’t know the Chinese used laser technology?
Donald: What do you think this is April? HALO?
Suddenly a stray laser beam strikes Donald in the back of the head, exploding it in an instant, spraying April’s tightly fitted yellow outfit, and his wife beater, in his brains. Donald’s body slumps to the floor as April shrieks.
Suddenly the cameraman speaks up.
Cameraman: LOOK! LOOK AT THAT!
April turns over her shoulder in curiosity…
A lone man arises from the alleyway next to the museum. He is dressed in black, grey and white coloured camouflage pants, with black boots. He is also wearing a tightly fitted black top, covered with a Magnoli vegetable-tanned leather jacket. His long hair covers his face, but as he moves closer he flicks it back, revealing a black eye-patch over his left eye… L.A. BLACKWATER!!
He moves confidently to the two assailants, smoking a cigarette.
April: There’s… there’s a man approaching the assailants. He… he appears to be unarmed.
Blackwater takes the cigarette and inhales one last drag. He then flicks the cigarette at one of the assailants, hitting him in the back of the head.
April: The approaching man just flicked what appeared to be a cigarette at one of the assailants.
The assailant feels the back of its head, and then inspects it’s hand, a small fleck of ash is on his fingers. It then turns to Blackwater, speaking an unusual language. It then raises its rifle at Blackwater.
April: Oh my god, he’s going to shoot that unarmed man!
Blackwater continues to walk up to the assailant until the rifle is pressing up against his forehead. Unfazed, he raises his hands out wide, signalling that he is unarmed. Blackwater smiles…
April: I don’t understand what this man is attempting to do. Are you guys still getting this footage?
Blackwater quickly reaches underneath the back of his jacket and pulls out the Wakizashi sword he had obtained from Aiko during the Chapel incident. With one swoop he amputates the assailant’s arm, and as Blackwater continues the same motion, he pivots and drives the end of the blade through his victim’s neck. Green blood sprays everywhere.
April: That man… he just managed to take down that individual. He had what I can only describe as a small samurai sword under his jacket, and firstly chopped off his arm, then stabbed him in the neck! What’s he doing now?
Blackwater leaves the sword, it has become stuck in his victim’s neck, who is grasping at the wound with it’s one remaining arm, whilst screaming in an unknown language. Blackwater picks up the laser rifle from the severed arm and points it at the second assailant, who is still focused on its comrade, it then focuses on Blackwater, but it’s too late…
April: The one-eyed man has got the laser… HE’S GOT THE LASER… SHOOT HIM… SHOOT HIM NOW!
Blackwater fires the laser rifle at the second assailant, hitting it directly between the eyes… it’s head explodes!
The onlooking crowd gasps then breaks out in large cheers.
April: HE GOT HIM IN THE FACE!!!
Blackwater turns to shoot the other assailant, but before he can fire off a shot, it lets out one last gasp and falls to the floor, green blood pools out from its neck and arm wounds.
Suddenly the doors are flung open as the three assailants who had entered the museum make their way outside, unaware of the commotion that has ensued. One of them is carrying a small gold box. Blackwater stands to his feet, with the laser rifle, he opens fire on the remaining assailants.
BUZZ!
BUZZ!!
BUZZ!!!
April: I don’t know who this man is but he is taking them all on, without a sign of hesitation or fear.
Each shot connects, the assailant to the left is struck in the chest and falls backwards. The assailant to the right is caught in the stomach, it hunches down to the ground. The assailant in the middle is clipped in the shoulder, it drops the box. It staggers towards Blackwater, who attempts to fire again, but nothing happens.
April: It appears the one-eyed man is out of ammo, what now??
The assailant stumbles down the stairs, leaving its precious cargo at the top, and a trail of green blood running down the steps.
Blackwater drops the laser rifle and pulls out his trusty Browning 9mm handgun from the back of his trousers. He actions the gun and raises it ready to fire again, to put the final assailant down.
But before he can fire, the engines of the dropship roar to life, and the force of the thrusters send Blackwater tumbling over. The injured assailant then enters the ship and it immediately takes off, shooting off into the skies at the speed of light. The onlooking crowd, and April, all look upwards, stunned.
After a moment, April recomposes herself.
April: I… I don’t know what we’ve just witnessed, were those aliens? Are we not alone?
She pushes forward, trying to get a glimpse of Blackwater.
April: Let’s try to get a glimpse of our hero…
But Blackwater, and the gold box, have vanished!
April: Where is he? Where is the box? They’ve gone. Denise, Brian back to you in the studio.
Brian and Denise are both shown behind their desk at the news station, shocked, motionless, unsure of what they have just witnessed. After a few moments, Brian shuffles his papers and recomposes himself. Denise speaks up first.
Valdez: Thank you April for that rather animated reporting performance.
Loftus: I… I can’t explain what we just witnessed downtown from the National History Museum, where they were due to open their new Roswell exhibition tomorrow. I can imagine there were some priceless extraterrestrial pieces of technology there. We will bring you more information as we get it in.
Loftus: I… I can’t explain what we just witnessed downtown from the National History Museum, where they were due to open their new Roswell exhibition tomorrow. I can imagine there were some priceless extraterrestrial pieces of technology there. We will bring you more information as we get it in.
Valdez: I wonder what was in the gold box?
Loftus: We will take this opportunity to go to a commercial break, we will be right back with you in a jiffy, folks.
Blackwater is driving away in his Dodge Ramcharger, listening to the news broadcast on his radio. He turns it off and looks at the gold box on the passenger seat of his old, beat-up truck.
“Now that I finally have acquired you, I can learn the secrets of L~7’s race, and understand the most proficient way to defeat her in our match”.
Blackwater lights a cigarette as he continues to head back to his apartment.
