The Hunt - Brody Nielson (free novels .TXT) 📗

Well I guess it started when.....

My school back on Earth blew up.  Well what did you expect? It was 2045 I was only 11 at the time and we, of course, just HAD to start a war with the aliens (stupidest decision ever).  Then that is when I started my combat training.  

It seems like combat training is all I've been doing since then.  My parents were after all government agents and wanted me to be something great.  Me?  I wanted to be a video game tester.  I know what your thinking, wow Brian your lazy.  Oh yeah, I'm Brian by the way.  

Anyway so I'm 15 now and I'll be 16 at the end of December.  I was taken into battle early at the age of 13 and not to brag, but I did wipe the floor with those nasty Taraek (that is what the warmonging aliens are named).  Now I am a trained Taraek slayer.  

I have had my ups and downs in life, but the saddest moment of my life happened last week.  Most of my family died while getting kidnapped by the Taraek.  We had a big family on the account of my dad getting remarried.  We ended up with about 13 people, counting parents.  10 of them ended dead.  My sister Samantha and my step-brother Toby survived with me.  My parents and all my other siblings sadly died.  

You are probably wondering how they all of my family died.  Well, we were all taken prisoner upon a Taraek warship and they were going to incinerate all of us when my step-sister Ellizebeth punched a Taraek in his ugly difformed face, giving it a bloody nose and a black eye.  My brother Nathan then grabbed a knife out of a Taraek's pocket and cut one of his many fingers off.  That gave us the advantage to run but then the Taraek shot all of my family except Toby, and I.  Samantha ecscaped with some serious plasma burns but she was still living.  

We escaped and made our way back to a military fortress on the moon to treat Samantha's burns and we got the shock of our lives.

We then almost got a heart attack.....

When we got to the base we almost cried.  The Taraek had blown up half the base.  I then see my Uncle Travis laying on the ground, not moving, he said that they had blown up the base.  I said, "Wow I hadn't noticed!"  He then said that my space cruiser that my parents left for me was in the back of the ruined base.  

He then gaave me my mission.  He said, "You need to go and find other humans, there aren't many of us left.  Once you have gotten together a small army of people you then need to storm the Taraek base and kill their main life source.  There life source is the q......"  And then my uncle was gone.  

And that leads us to now....

I got my space cruiser and noticed something real quick.  The old TV show "The Jetsons" made flying a hovercar look easy.  I now know that it is not.  It is like riding... oh how should I put this?  Um... its like driving a car.  A big high tech floating car, with pulse guns, and lots, and lots, and LOTS of blinking buttons.  But it was still pretty legit to have my own space cruiser.  Toby and Samantha were looking at me with a bit of envy.  I was so excited to finally get something of my own!  I always had to share considering the huge family I had.  Thinking of my family suddenly made me really sad.  I tried to distract my mind from those things and decided to focus on my mission.

I first needed to find my other combat-trained family members.  They would be crucial to the storming of the Taraek base.  Then I needed to find my combat-trained friends, like Caleb, Emma, Jeremy, Annie, and Devin.  This was definatly going to be a struggle.

So back to the space cruiser.  I had to fly to the planet where I last saw my family.  I now had to fly to the human colony on Mars, but there was still that one big problem.  I didn't know how to fly my cruiser.  I asked Samantha, since she was already 21 and had driven one before.  I got bad news when she replied, "The ones I flew were really simple, this one is really compl-OW!  TOBY THE PLASMA HEALING CREAM IS GOOD FOR PLASMA BURNS, BUT STINGS EVERYWHERE ELSE YOU PUT IT!  MY BURN IS ON MY LEG NOT MY ARM!"  "Sorry," Toby replied.  Anyway sorry that I can't help you. 

Then I found the most wonderful thing....

I found the autopilot button!  I was so happy when I put in the coordinates, and was able to sit back and talk about my plan with Toby and Samantha.

We all agreed that we should find our remaining family then our friends.  After all, we wanted to get revenge for those nasty, ugly Taraek killing our whole family.  We wanted to avenge my dad, Maddie (Toby's mom), Nathan, Elizabeth, Eric, Colton, Marvin, Em, Troy, and Calvin.

I know what your thinking, "Wow, big family dude."  Yeah So we want to avenge every one of them.

So, first we agreed to go for my birth mom, Tammy.  She has been one of the best massage/physical therapist in the war.  We needed her help to dress our wounds and injuries to help us win over the Taraek base.  Then we would go on to my remaining aunts and uncles.  Then we would find my friends.

So we set off.  

Good thing my mom was close...

Because we didn't want to spend a lot of time looking around for our small army.  She was on Mars, which is where were were heading at the time.   So we got there and we were almost scared to death!

The Taraek were attacking thje Mars human colony with a small fleet.  I got so mad that I started firing every single gun on my space cruiser.  Good thing I found the weapons button earlier or I would be charging into battle looking like a complete idiot.  I fired m pulse guns, and my plasma rays at the the fleet and took them down with no problem.  "Dude calm down they're gone!" Toby screamed at me.  "Oh, I would like you to try and stay calm when YOUR mom is getting attacked by a small fleet of Taraek!" I screamed back.  "If you don't recall Brian MY MOM is DEAD!" Toby hollered.  I then relized how hurt Toby was about his whole family being dead and being stuck with his step-siblings.  "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!!!" Samantha shouted at the top of her lungs.  "We have to go down and get mom so my burns can heal!  This cream Toby put so carelessly on has not worked at all."  "Ok," I said, "We can go down."  

We then went down and saw my mom for the first time in months.  She said,  "I'm so sorry about dad and his family guys.  I will do whatever I need to to help.  Oh, Samantha let me help you with those plasma burns on your leg!"  So we got one person from our family and we were on our way to having  a small army.  Now on to my uncle Tyson. 

My uncle was in a whole other sector...

So we had to go to planet Xenu in star sector X491 a pretty far ways away from earth.  We had to travel there for three days straight with nothing to do.  We finally got to Xenu to get Uncle Tyson.  This time we got no interuptions from the Taraek.  We got down to the planet surface and saw my uncle. 

My uncle is the General of the war againtst the Taraek.  We asked him to join our squad when he said, "I will join you if you pass one simple military test.  You have to go into a Taraek shooting simulator, and kill all of the Taraek and not
