Governor's building
Reception
The four armed Efof sat in the waiting room watching the television, he was a bit upset that he hadn't developed any strange powers like the rest have, it must only be a human thing. He saw the superhero with the red dressing gown save a girl on TV.
The Captain was still upstairs enjoying afternoon tea with the Governor. "Didn't invite me." Efof moaned.
Suddenly the TV screen went fuzzy, making him wonder what was going wrong. A female face faded onto the screen, she was wearing black laether, with a big collar, and a leather mask over her eyes. Efof thought she looked like Catwoman from Batman actually, he'd been watdching a lot of human films after he'd been introduced to their colourful culture. Green flaming lanterns lit the space behind her face.
"People of Plebe!" the voice boomed out loudly from not only the TV set, but also from the large TV screen on the building across the street. "People of Plebe listen to me!"
Efof got up and looked out of the Reception window. Everyone in the city looked up at one of the many TV screens on the sides of buildings, they watched on TV's from shop windows, they listened from radios, every transmission medium had been taken over, you just couldn't avoid the booming voice. An old man walking down the road tried to tune his wireless back to Jazz FM to no avail.
"Some of us believe that what the Humans did to us was no right, it was not moral. They outcast us from their society and tried to cover us up as one of their 'blunders'." The woman continued in her powerful dominating voice. Some Plebians in the street nodded at what the woman said.
"We have spent years building up an army funded by what the Humans have left us, now we finally have the strength to fight back, to show the Human race that they cannot turn their back on us and not regret it. We will strike them back, and we will do it soon!"
****Governor's office****
The Captain watched the TV screen as he Governor looked aimlessly out of the window. "I always knew this day would come, I tried to stop it but there are too many people who want it to happen." Said the Governor.
"So this is the gang who have been robbing banks for funding, and they're going to wage war on Humans? Surely they must know that it's suicide." Captain Niples said, knowing that the Plebians are not the smartest people in the galaxy.
"Do not underestimate us Captain, we know we are slow, we know we aren't as smart as you, but if they say they have the strength to fight back then they must have something worthwhile enough to fight with."
Seymour wondered for a moment what it was thet they had to fight with, he didn't have much tiem to think before his mobile phone rang. It was Phil, who had been assigned the task with Zodar to figure out how Humans suddenly develop super powers on this planet.
"Captain, I think I've found something. The planet closest to Plebe is giving off some very unusual radiation- I think that's what making all of us humans transform into beings with special powers. It's strangely natural, but doesn't appear to affect the Plebians as their DNA was modified slightly from ours."
"That's very interesting Mr. Febuggure, but there's a situation going on at the moment-"
"But that's not all Captain, I've used the Starbug's sensors and found that several small space ships have been used to bring samples of the planet's core to Plebe. It could be the group who want to get revenge on mankind."
"I'll bear that little snippet of information in mind Mr. Febuggure, thank you for calling."
Outside, the ground shook. Seymour held the cuttlery on the table to stop it from scratching the Governor's antique oak table.
"Good grief, look at that!" Exclaimed the governor. Seymour looked.
Darkness fell on the building they were in, something was blocking the light. The ylooed up and saw a huge ship hovering above. Although it didn't look like a ship capable of space travel, merely a city that hovered above their own. Seymour guessed that it was the base of operations for the anti-human group. Loudspeakers on the giant cityship made the woman's voice louder.
"Plebians unite together and we will destroy the humans and make them pay, if you do not join us then you are human sympathisers and you will die. So join us and make a new Plebe, one you can be proud of, one which has fought back against the humans."
Ropes fell from the hovering city and soldiers started to slide down them to the ground. They shot any Plebians who fought back and welcomed any who wanted to join them. I was total chaos in the streets, Plebians brawled with the soldiers but were quickly shot, the floor being littered with bodies. The soldiers even punched their victims, Seymour watched in amazement as he saw Plebians- usually the slowest and most pieceful people suddenly having the strength of many humans put together.
Rope ladders were let down from the craft above and hundreds of Plebians started climbing up to join, each one of them wanting to join their cause.
"Well I can't stay around here anymore." Said the Governor getting his coat in quite a calm manner to say his city was under attack, and people were joining another cause.
"Where will you go?" Seymour asked.
"The people don't want me anymore, I'm off to my quiet underground bunker to get a bit of a kip and read a good book for a while."
****Reception****
"This is terrible!" Said Efof, "I'm in the middle of a Plebian revolution!"
"DON'T MOVE!" Said a voice making him spin around. It was the receptionist, she was holding a shotgun at his head.
"You're a human aren't you?!" She demanded.
Efof held out his limbs obviously. "What? With four f**king arms?"
"Cheeky get!" shouted the receptionist and pulled the trigger. Luckily something pulled Efof out of the way and into the street and into the sky like a speeding bullet.
It was Captain Niples wearing a dressing gown, he'd dipped his hands in wine and used it to gel his hair back. They flew over the city, Niples holding the Ffionin. They got close the the giant ship hovering over the Governor's building and it started firing energy blasts at them. Seymour was dodging the shots when his phone rang. Efof took the phone out of his pocket and held it to the Captain's face.
Katrina's voice came out of the phone asking what was going on. "I'll call you back later darling, I'm a bit busy!" He said.
Dodging mor weapons fire and flying away from the ship, Seymour told Efof to dial any of the crew who was in the city.
"Jay's not answering, neither's Alotta.... or Kayn, or Zodar... Dean's answering message is an Elvis song... and Tara's not responding either. I think they must have been either killed or kidnapped by the Plebians!"
"Keep trying until you get someone. We need a plan to stop these monsters from attacking Earth. Those soldiers I saw were a lot stronger than normal Plebians- I think they've somehow found a way to get super powers like humans do here."
<<So who will respond to the Captain? I've e-mailed a few of you who I want to uncover certain plot aspects. Everyone else join in and imagine what you'd do and where you'd be at a time like this.>>
