The Alien Wars -- Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The streets of Neo City

Later, inside 9-Volt's house, at the basement...

Mona: "Okay, this is where we'll be safe for the time being. I'll call your mom right now."
(She dials 9-Volt's mom's cell number, and gets a message saying that she's at an invasion shelter)
Mona: "Darn...it looks like we're on our own."
9-Volt: "What about my daddy?"
Mona: "I hope he's okay..."

Meanwhile, at my now-ruined house...

Me: "Mom? Dad? Oh no! My house's been destroyed!"
(Suddenly, a man, who happens to be my uncle Spring, comes in)
Prof. Spring: "I'm sorry to hear that your parents died..."

[A/N: This is just a fanfic. My parents are still alive in real life, so don't worry.]

Me: "I know...but who did this?"
Prof. Spring: "Upon that alien monster's revival, he took the lives of the innocent...C'mon, I'm taking you to safety."
Me: "Oh, great...my first week of school, ruined!"
Prof. Spring: "It'll be alright, my nephew. Someone will be worthy of destroying Red Falcon. I believe that there are some descendants of the ancient heroes that banished him centuries ago."
Me: "Y-You think...?"
Prof. Spring: "Yes. I believe it..."
(He takes me to his house for safety reasons)

The next day, at a distant city in New York--a city called Neo City, that is--there were two soldiers in the US Army. Their names were Bill Rizer and Lance Bean. The person in charge at the moment was General Rupert.

Rupert: "Good day, gentlemen. I suppose you're wondering what's going on. Apparently, an alien monster named Red Falcon has risen from his grave, and inflicted mortal damage on hundreds of innocent victims in Diamond City, California. Recently, he sent his brethren to attack us next. Your objective is to free Neo City of his reign!"
Bill and Lance (in unison): "Sir, yes, sir!"

[Stage BGM: It's Time for Revenge (Contra III: The Alien Wars)]

Bill and Lance grabbed their machine guns, and started fighting off the alien robots that attacked Neo City. On their way, they picked up a couple useful power-ups for their guns. Later, they came across a couple fortress walls, each armed with two cannons, and an alien sniper on top. The red core--its weakness--was on the bottom.

Lance: "Bill, I'll handle the snipers with my Homing Missiles, while you take care of those cannons with your Crash Missiles!"
Bill: "Got it, Lance!"
(They took out the sniper, the cannons, and destroyed the core)

The Contra guys moved on again, dodging enemy shots, grenades, and destroying unmanned turrets. They then came across the broken pipes that shot out fire from underneath. They jumped over the flames, and took out a riot tank that came out of a collapsed building. After that, an alien android jumped out of the tank, and introduced himself as Blaze Bomber.

Blaze Bomber: "How dare you destroy my tank?! You two should know that I am not to be messed with! I am Blaze Bomber, the pyro-maniac of the Hate Bombers!"
Bill: "Hate Bombers?"
Blaze Bomber: "Mweh heh heh...say hello to my Molotov cocktails!"
(He gets out the flaming bottles)
Lance: "He's crazy!"
Blaze Bomber: "Burn in hell, losers! Our boss Red Falcon doesn't deserve to be interrupted by rude Earthers like you!"

And so, the red armor-clad android fought the Contra guys, while throwing his Molotov cocktails around like crazy, setting off flames.

Bill: "Lance...whatever you do, don't get hit!"
Lance: "What happens if we do?"
Bill: "Remember the Contra video games? If you get shot while having a power-up with you, you lose it..."
Lance: "Oh yeah...I forgot."
Blaze Bomber: "And I'll be happy to make it happen!"
(The fire-crazed android clapped his hands, and rubbed them hard until he formed a five-star-shaped fire.)
Blaze Bomber: "You see this attack? It's my deadly Fire Blast! Take this!"
(He throws it at them)
Lance: "Get down!"
(Bill and Lance went prone to avoid the Fire Blast)
Bill: "Isn't that the Fire Blast attack from the Pokemon games?"
Lance: "It could be...it's been years since I played Pokemon Yellow on my Game Boy Color."
Bill: "Okay, we've had enough of that crazy guy. Let's trash him!"
(Bill and Lance shot Blaze Bomber with their weapons)
Blaze Bomber: "Blugh!"
(Later, at the end...)
Blaze Bomber: "This isn't over yet...it's only the beginning! We shall meet again, Bill and Lance!"
(He jets off)

[End BGM]
[Resume Stage BGM]

Bill and Lance moved on again, and jumped onto the two platforms above the ground. A warplane suddenly flew by, and dropped two napalm bombs on the ground, setting it on fire.

[A/N: Yes, this is why you must get onto any of the two platforms at this part in the first level in Contra III: The Alien Wars]

The Contra guys moved on, avoiding the flames as they traversed through via the monkey bars. Later, the flames died down, and a giant alien tortoise, known as Beast Kimkoh, busted through a wall.

[Boss BGM: Boss Galdon (Star Fox Adventures)]

Bill: "Whoa! That thing's huge!"
Lance: "And I'll bet he doesn't look friendly..."
(Beast Kimkoh lunges at Lance with his stretching neck, taking away his Homing Missiles upgrade)
Lance: "Damn! I lost my power-up!"
Bill: "I still have mine. I'll take out the nest that's sending out these wasps!"

And so, Bill shot the nest with his Crash Missiles, destroying it. Meanwhile, Lance was shooting at the alien tortoise's heart with his machine gun, while avoiding the stray shots coming out of the heart. Beast Kimkoh then opened his maw, and charged up for an energy breath. Lance went prone, while Bill got caught by the blast, causing him to lose his power-up.

Lance: "Bill! Are you alright?"
Bill: "I'm okay. That monster's breath attack didn't hurt me too bad."

Beast Kimkoh extended his neck once more, but Bill and Lance had had enough. They pumped lead into his heart some more, until it burst to nothing but guts. The alien tortoise roared in agony, and dropped to the ground in defeat.

[End BGM]
[Victory BGM: Pattern Clear (Contra III: The Alien Wars)]

Bill: "The alien tortoise's dead, and Neo City is safe once more!"

[End BGM]

Bill and Lance had saved Neo City, but they still don't know who the Hate Bombers were, nor where Blaze Bomber had escaped to.
