Chapter Seventeen

Moving slowly towards their destination, the Viltaran mothership reached Texas long before nightfall. Invisible and undetectable, it hovered high above the city. The citizens had no idea they were about to be invaded.

News had spread about the attack on New York. So many people had tried to flee from the country that riots had broken out at the airports. Foreign countries had closed their borders and were hunkering down in defense. Left with no means to escape other than to drive to Mexico or Canada, most Americans had reluctantly returned to their homes during the past few days.

The military hadn’t put any procedures in place to deal with an alien invasion. Their jets and other weaponry had proven to be ineffective so far. Their only other option would be to unleash nuclear missiles, but they were understandably reluctant to do so. They’d seen time and again that any resistance was dealt with swiftly and harshly. From the footage they’d seen, the captives weren’t being harmed. They were simply being collared and taken away. The fate of the civilians who were turned into horrible clones was far worse. There was no help for them and they were effectively doomed.

Looking at Dallas on a monitor from the bridge of the mothership, it was greener than Bianca had expected. It seemed Texas wasn’t as arid as she’d thought. For now, the civilians were huddled inside their homes, waiting for the apocalypse to arrive. Pandemonium would break out the moment the invaders showed themselves. Then the screaming and fleeing would begin all over again.

When the last rays of light left the sky, Uldar unleashed a deadly ring of gas around the city. He wanted his allies to see that he didn’t need to rely on the magical dome the Grimgorgs shamans could apparently conjure up to contain a large population. Moving in a wide arc just outside the city limits, he blanketed the area in a toxic yellow cloud. It hung heavy in the air and it wouldn’t dissipate until long after the inhabitants had been rounded up.

Loki and Rho exchanged frowns. Neither could hide their annoyance at Uldar’s highhanded decision to use his own method to take control of this city.

“Keep your distance from the gas,” Uldar warned them. “Unless you wish to suffer and die horribly.” His personal droid translated in both Grimgorg and English so Loki’s pet human would also be able to understand him. He took pleasure in seeing the feeble human’s fear.

Loki noted the look of pure hatred that Bianca flashed his ally. Strangely, her hands were hovering near her hips, as if seeking invisible weapons. “Thank you for the warning,” he said in a slightly mocking tone. He didn’t need to breathe in the gas to know it was highly poisonous. The Viltaran overlord had already explained how the substance worked. Loki was irked that he hadn’t been consulted before Uldar had used it. Their plan had been for King Rho and his shamans to use their dome to pen in the humans this time.
