Btw. Forgot to mention. The name changed from Cyrax to Ares. I thought Ares sounded better.
So I decided to post the first episode of Maverick No. 9 on this. Just in case any of you also see the same problem with it cutting out.
Episode 1: Escape to Orange County
The planet of Gerudia. Smog and dust fills the skies as ships of a malignant empire are destroying everything around it. In the Gerudian kingdom we see soldiers taking position and shooting at enemy androids falling from the sky. The soldiers fight valiantly as they fire their weapons to fend off against the advancing infantry of androids. But one soldier runs towards the kingdoms palace. He is running through the mayhem and devastation of the attack. The bodies of soldiers and civilians lying lifeless on the floor, buildings destroyed and debris everywhere, and the sounds of firing artillery and explosions pierced the air. The soldier managed to make it to the palace. He kicked the entrance door open. Inside were king, Orion and the queen, Freia. Two humanoid foxes, Orion had fur white as snow, Freia had fur as dark as the night sky. They were guiding the people of the kingdom to evacuation ships. The king and queen see the soldier, the soldier, also a humanoid fox with black fur speaks.
Apollo: Mother, father. We are being outnumbered. Cyrax's army is too strong to handle. I need to get you to safety.
King Orion: Son, we must help our people. Cyrax will enslave us all. Or worse.
Apollo: Father please-
King Orion: It is our duty as the royal family to protect our kingdom. And our planet.
Queen Freia: Orion. He is correct. We have to evacuate.
The king was silent.
Apollo: Father please.
King Orion: Alright.
Everyone evacuated to the ships. Apollo led his parents to their evacuation ship. They swiftly got out to a port outside of the palace. They were about to make it, but then out of nowhere a giant serpent like monster attacked the port with a beam of energy. Apollo and his parents were sent flying back. Apollo wounded sees his parents injured like him laying on the floor.
Apollo: Mother! Father!
He gets up and quickly goes to them both. He tries to wake them up but to no avail. They were dead. He hears the roaring of the monster that attacked the port. He looks up and sees the monster levitating away. The ships transporting the people of the planet were getting shot down by the empires fleets. Apollo looking on at everything gets into the escape ship. He steps inside, there was enough room to fit a group of eighteen people on here. A small robotic voice welcomes him.
ANA: Greetings, young Apollo. I ANA. The Artificial Necessities Ai. I am programmed to assist you.
Apollo: ANA. Are there any weapons on this ship?!
ANA: Yes. But I must advise you no-
Apollo: Good.
Apollo rushes toward the cockpit of the ship. He turns it on and makes it hover.
Apollo: I'm not going to let this happen.
He hovers the ship toward the fleet of enemy ships. He fires the artillery of the ship. He managed to shoot three of enemy ships to the ground. They exploded in unnatural green color as the wreckage of them fall to the ground below. The remaining escape ships managed to reach out of the atmosphere. Apollo flies the ship out of the planet's atmosphere shortly after.
Apollo: Yes!
Apollo felt victorious. He managed to get his people to safety. But that victory was short lived. A larger ship from the empire arrived. It opened a hatch which snatched the escape ships off one by one. Apollo seeing this slams his fist in frustration on the center console. He failed to save them. Then three enemy ships launched out from the larger ship and came rushing towards Apollo's ship.
ANA: Enemy ships ahead.
Apollo: Damn!
Apollo began fleeing. He tried to fight back but he wasted most of the artillery from earlier when he was shooting at the enemy fleets.
ANA: You are low on ammo.
Apollo: Oh wow. Thanks for the tip.
Apollo tries to dodge the enemy's attacks. He couldn't do this forever. He had to escape them faster, somewhere that they won't find him. He suddenly had an idea.
Apollo: ANA! Does this ship have warp speed?!
ANA: Yes.
Apollo: Activate it. Set course to a planet far from here!
ANA: Right away.
The ship revved its engines to power up its warp speed. Apollo hung tight to the seat. This was going to be fast. The hyperdrive shrieked as it was charging power. The enemy ships began rushing towards his ship.
ANA: Jumping warpspeed in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1
Apollo's ship then blasted off into space at the speed of light. The enemy ships were blown away and floated in space. The ship was going through each galaxy and passed through different planets. Apollo hung on tight as the warp speed was powerful enough to push him back.
Apollo: How long until we enter a galaxy ANA?
ANA: Reentry will happen in 4 hours.
Apollo: Ok... Just need to hang on for a little longer...
*Earth. Orange County, California*
It was around noon on a Sunday, August 18, 2005. A pick up truck carrying a moving trailer is driving down a highway. A humanoid male dachshund around his 40s was driving. A humanoid beagle woman around her 40s as well was in the passenger seat. In the backseat is a humanoid dachshund girl around 17 with dark brown fur and glasses was leaning her head on some boxes with some of her stuff in it. Her mother, the beagle looked back at the rear view mirror.
Mrs. Reed: We're almost there Savannah. Isn't it exciting? New home. Fresh start.
Savannah Reed: Yeah... exciting...
Mr. Reed: Hun. You sure she is ready for a public school? We can still-
Mrs. Reed: Oh it's ok now. She is 17 now. She can handle it.
Savannah wasn't as stoked about moving here. Not because she misses her quiet town back in Montana, not like she had any friends there. But she knew it was just going to be like Montana. No friends but now she is going to an actual school and not being homeschooled like last year.
After that long drive, the Reed family was finally at the house and were unpacking most of their belongings. Savannah was in her new room putting some of her stuff in the room. She leaned on a wall looking out the window to the front yard of her new house. Her mom walks in.
Mrs. Reed: Oh Savannah. Why the long face?
Savannah Reed: I don't know mom.
Mrs. Reed: It's ok. Everything will be alright. Think about it. Bigger house, new school, yeah it will take getting used to but you can adapt.
Savannah Reed: I know but, it feels so big and loud here. And can't I be homeschooled till graduation?
Mrs. Reed: Well, I have some news that might change your mind...
Savannah's ears perked up. What news could this be?
Mrs. Reed: Remember Brooklyn Hayes? Your old friend back then? She is attending the same school you're going to tomorrow!
Savannah Reed: Brooke... she is?
Mrs. Reed: Yes. All those play dates and sleepovers you girls used to have... you two can catch up and be friends all over again.
Savannah Reed: Oh my god. I forgot she moved here! That's awesome.
Mrs. Reed had a smile on her face knowing Savannah was now joyed about her new home and school. Savannah was now excited. It has been a couple of years since her and Brooke were friends. Her and Brooke were friends since the second grade. When they were 12, Brooke had to move to California since her mom got a promotion. After that she never bbseen her since. But knowing they are attending the same school, Savannah's thoughts quickly changed from being unsure about this place to beginning to think she might like it here.
Meanwhile in the redwood forest. Something big is rushing down towards the forest. Apollo in the escape ship has entered earths atmosphere.
Apollo: ANA! Activate safe landing!
ANA: System error. I can't access this feature.
Apollo: Oh great... rough landing ahead!
Apollo braced himself for impact. His ship crash lands into the forest. Steam released into the air as the ship was hot from reentry. Apollo kicked down the door of the spaceship.
Apollo: ANA. Where have we landed.
ANA: It seems we have landed on the planet Earth. The third planet from this galaxy's solar system.
Apollo: Give a quick analysis on this planet.
ANA: Analyzing now... There is sentient life on this planet. A city called, Orange County is near.
Apollo: Good. Civilization. I just need to get supplies and shelter. Any necessities on the ship?
ANA: Yes.
Apollo steps back into the ship to grab whatever was in it. There were limited supplies. A wristwatch like device and a canteen of water. Apollo took a sip from the canteen.
ANA: Activating, Terra mode.
A small hatch inside the ship opens up. That is when an android comes out from inside. It was a sleek silver with some neon pink substance illuminating from the inside of it.
Apollo: What's this?
ANA: I have activated my Terra mode. I am designed to protect and care for you whenever there is trouble. But this might put some suspicion on you. So maybe I might switch to something more subtle.
ANA in her Terra mode then departs out of the android form and into small nano tech like minidroids. They then went into the wristwatch like device Apollo had.
Apollo: What did you do?
ANA: The device on your wrist is able to activate different abilities and tools. I have transmitted my data to it.
Apollo: Ok. Now we just need to find shelter.
Apollo walks out of the redwoods forest. He walks down to the town. He tries to be as careful as possible to bring any attention to himself. As he wandered on he made it to a small suburban area. Apollo opened up the small wrist device.
Apollo: It seems we found a small area here. We can probably find shelter here.
ANA: Yes. Now look at the device. There should be an icon on it that will activate a shelter.
Apollo: Really?
ANA: Yes. Just press the icon.
Apollo finds the small icon. He pressed it. Out of the wrist device came out nano tech, they came out and scattered to an empty area. They were making up a small house like shape. As the tech finished, the shelter had taken form. It looked like a small house, painted grey with a shingled roof, it had one floor with a porch out front, the side of the house was a garage, and it looked like there was an attic.
Apollo: Huh...
ANA: Doing research on the planet, I found it best if we blend in. The Earthlings here are very simple creatures.
Apollo: Ok...
ANA: We should head inside.
Apollo: Ok.
Apollo heads inside the house. Inside the walls were a light blue with nothing inside. Apollo walks around. There were 5 rooms, the bathroom, living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms. Apollo looked into the bathroom and it had everything from the shower to the sinks and a toilet. The living room was empty, the kitchen had everything from a stove to a fridge, and Apollo looked into one of the bedrooms. It only had a single bed.
Apollo: Well, good to know there is at least a bed here.
ANA: Yes. Now then...
ANA then gets out of the wrist device. She formed into her android form. But then she started to form again. She took the form of an adult humanoid fox woman with red fur and with some comfortable clothing. She had a blank face. Apollo seemed confused by this.
Apollo: What was that?
ANA: I am programmed to protect you. This means that I have to blend in with Earth. I believe you can do the same too.
Apollo: How? Oh wait the device.
Apollo pressed another icon on the device he had on his wrist. The clothes he had on changed to some regular attire on Earth. A jean jacket with a red shirt and brown pants.
ANA: I see you figured the wrist device out then.
Apollo: Yeah... anything else you got from analyzing Earth?
ANA: Well it is August 18th on here. You are 17 years of age. You are considered a minor and have to attend highschool. There is one close by called Orange County Day.
Apollo: Uhhhh.... Maybe we can skip that?
ANA: Young Apollo. I am afraid you can't. It is required on this planet for teenagers to be in school. Besides, you need to adjust to the environment here.
Apollo:... fine.
ANA: Now then. You should be getting rest.
Apollo: Ok. Goodnight ANA.
Apollo heads to one of the bedrooms and lies in the bed. He was not too interested on the idea of going to high school. After escaping from his ravaged planet he had a lot on his mind. He got up and took out a small pendulum. It had a hatch hanging from it. He opened the hatch to reveal a photo of him and his parents.
Apollo: Good night mother, father.
Apollo lays back in bed and sleeps.
Meanwhile in the far reaches of space. A large ship cruises through space. Inside are soldiers and generals. In the cockpit a tall cybernetic figure sits on a throne. He had armored plates all over him with a helmet on. Air tubes piled into his suit. He looks on at space. Then one of his android servants walks in.
Servant: Cyrax. We have captured every Gerudian and killed the king and queen.
Cyrax: Excellent. With them gone I can continue my reign. Soon every planet in the galaxy will bow to me.
Cyrax's voice was cold and emotionless.
Servant: But one Gerudian managed to escape.
Cyrax: Is that so? Who?
Servant: Apollo. The prince and second commanding soldier in the Gerudian military.
Cyrax: The prince has escaped. Have you found his location?
Servant: Our androids have picked up a signal on a planet in the Milky Way galaxy. Earth is what it's called. Shall we send ships down there?
Cyrax: No. All we need is an our creatures. Send in one for Earth.
Servant: Yes sir.
Andoids began moving a meteor into a departing area. They then launched the meteor out. The meteor moved into the far reaches of space. Setting course to Earth.
Episode 1 end.
So that was the first episode. I am still writing episode 2 but I would like to hear some other suggestions on where I should post this fan fic if I keep having this problem. But I would also like to hear some constructive criticism on it.
