Suddenly, Victoria—aka the Secret Admiral—standing on the scorching sands of the desert, looked toward the distant horizon. The Earth's atmosphere was changing, a clear sign that the planet itself was warning its inhabitants about the danger approaching it. The blue of the sky was slowly transforming into a strange, blood-tinged violet.
The mining machines sent to Earth by General Samuel had begun their work. Beneath the oceanic coasts of eight different major cities across the world, these colossal machines were tearing through the planet's chest, siphoning carbon elements directly from its core.
Its effects on Earth's environment were clearly visible—and terrifying. From the Pacific to the Atlantic metropolises, ocean waves began rising a hundred feet into the air. Tsunamis knocked at the doors of cities like Japan, Indonesia, and Mumbai. The Earth's tectonic plates were trembling, causing severe earthquakes across the globe—shocks that came again and again in relentless intervals, leaving Japan already devastated. People ran barefoot through the streets as buildings collapsed like houses of cards.
This massive devastation had plunged the entire USA into chaos as well, and the government immediately issued instructions to all forces to evacuate civilians to safe locations as quickly as possible, so that the loss of civilian life could be minimized as much as possible. Meanwhile, panic had erupted inside a New York police station, where Allen and Olivia had arrived to file a missing person report for their daughter, Victoria.
Raising his hands helplessly, the police officer said to Allen and Olivia, "Mr. Stark, the city is falling apart! Some unknown aliens have attacked the Earth. We've received orders from the government that all police personnel must join the army in rescue operations. We don't have the manpower right now to search for Victoria and Roger. Please go home and stay indoors. The situation outside is extremely dangerous. The moment we receive any information about your daughter, we will contact you."
Hearing the officer's words, Olivia collapsed right there, completely broken. Little did she know that the very daughter she was crying for at that moment was, in fact, Earth's last hope.
Suddenly, a colossal shadow spread across the skies of Los Angeles, blocking the sunlight from reaching the city's streets, and plunging the city into deep darkness even in broad daylight. The Shadow Hunter mothership tore through the clouds and descended above the city. The very next moment, General Samuel stepped out of his mothership and set foot on Earth. Behind him marched an army of thousands—Alien Bio-Warriors and laser-armed robots.
"Soldiers! Capture all humans and turn them into slaves. Take control of every power station, and eliminate anyone who comes in your way immediately!" Samuel's voice thundered across the entire city.
The news of General Samuel's arrival in Los Angeles had already reached the Secret Admiral and her allies, and they were heading toward Los Angeles to stop him before it was too late. General Samuel's soldiers were unleashing brutal carnage upon humans, believing that there was no one left to oppose them, as the human military had grown weak before the alien forces.
But then, in a flash of blinding light, the Secret Admiral made her entrance. On one side stood Serapine, shrouded in dark powers, and on the other fluttered the tiny Truth Fairy.
"Samuel! As long as I live, you will not harm a single human on this planet! I will not let you do this," Victoria shouted, clenching her fists as cosmic energy surged within them.
The moment the Secret Admiral appeared, a terrifying battle erupted on the streets of Los Angeles. On one side stood General Samuel and his army of soldiers; on the other, the Secret Admiral, alongside her two allies, fought fiercely on behalf of humanity.
Flying through the air, the Secret Admiral unleashed devastating energy blasts from her hands, tearing Samuel's robots to pieces. Supporting her, Serapine released a cloud of poisonous gas that melted the masks of the alien warriors, striking from shadow to shadow with lethal precision. Meanwhile, the tiny Truth Fairy guided frightened children and trapped civilians with glowing light, leading them safely to secure locations, shielding them from the chaos around.
But the enemy's numbers were in the hundreds of thousands. Just then, an old ally arrived to aid the Secret Admiral. A dark shadow leapt from a building and tore the throat of an alien warrior in a single strike—it was the Black Ninja!
"You're late," the Secret Admiral said while fighting. "I expected you to arrive sooner, Ninja."
"Don't miss me that much, Admiral," the Black Ninja replied as he drew his twin swords. "You might just fall in love with me. And besides, the party has only just begun."
But Samuel's power was overwhelming. With a single strike, he reduced an entire building to rubble, and they narrowly escaped being crushed beneath the debris. Samuel's forces surrounded them from all sides. Victoria realized that this battle could not be won without a plan. No matter how many alien soldiers the Secret Admiral and her allies defeated, ten more took their place the very next moment.
Understanding the grim reality, the Secret Admiral turned toward her companions.
"Listen, everyone! We can't win this fight like this. Humans are dying, and the enemy's numbers are far too great. We have to retreat—for now!" Victoria shouted.
But hearing the Secret Admiral's command, all her allies—Truth Fairy, Black Ninja, and Serapine—were stunned. They had never expected her to order a retreat so suddenly. Yet they knew well that everything the Secret Admiral did was guided by her sharp intellect and foresight. If she was calling for a withdrawal, it meant she had already devised a strategy for the next stage of the battle.
Trusting her completely, the group gathered the remaining humans and vanished from the battlefield. With that, General Samuel had firmly taken control over the USA.
He seized the White House, capturing the American President, and converted it into his headquarters. The heart of America had now become an alien fortress. World leaders everywhere were brought to their knees. From this stronghold, Samuel controlled the mining machines, squeezing the very lifeblood from the planet. Humanity as a whole had fallen to its knees under the alien onslaught. Major nations like Russia, Japan, India, and the UK had come under Samuel's dominion, their populations forced into surrender.
Far from the White House, inside a secret underground bunker built during World War II, Victoria, Serapine, the Black Ninja, and the Truth Fairy gathered together. They were exhausted and wounded. They had saved many human lives and moved them to safe shelters, but now they needed a solid strategy.
"Look," Victoria said, "Samuel's machines cannot be operating like this without a power source. There must be a central controller from where these machines are being controlled. First, we have to shut down those mining machines, because they are causing disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis across the planet. Due to this, much of our human army is stuck in rescue operations and cannot fight General Samuel's forces with full strength. We must uncover the secret behind the power that drives those mining machines."
"But how are we supposed to find that out, Admiral?" the Black Ninja said sarcastically. "It's not like one of us can walk up to one of General Samuel's soldiers, ask him what the power source of their machines is, and he'll just laugh and tell us."
"Don't joke around right now, Admiral. You tell us—how are we supposed to locate that power source?" Serapine asked, looking toward the Secret Admiral.
Hearing her companions' questions, the Secret Admiral decided to enter a trance-like focus, knowing that this was the only way to discover the location of the mining machines' power source.
"Listen," she said, addressing them all, "I am going to focus. Until I return, none of you will go out to fight General Samuel's army. Your task is to stay here and protect the remaining humans. No matter what happens, do not disturb me until my focus is complete." With that, she moved toward a secluded, closed-off room.
Now, all hope rested on the Secret Admiral's concentration. The entire Earth was under General Samuel's control, which meant humanity's annihilation was imminent. Whether the Secret Admiral would succeed in stopping him—or if General Samuel would enslave all humans; was impossible to predict.
