Enter The Gregis - Short Story - Science Fiction

Ship.jpg

This is my scifi story written in screenplay style.

The Gregis is a Duronian ship that blazes across our galaxy. The stars appear as pinholes of light within the black sheet of darkness draped across our horizon. Aboard the Gregis are Duronians, and they emanate baby blue light from their exoskeleton bodies. They are comprised of their floating torsos with a very draconian appearance. The Duronians are peaceful and highly intellectual.

Duronia is not far ahead, yet the Jakokian Armada stands in there way.
The inner portion of the ship holds path ways of a green neural goo that flows above the crew members. It allows the Duronians to communicate with each other, and control the ship. BOOM! The crew scurry about huddling together knowing their energy combined will work more efficiently. Then BOOM!

The ship tilts on its axis knocking it back. The ships neural goo leaks spraying all over the portals and bay readouts. They have to man the controls manually where an intelligent species like this could've just used their minds. One crew member Agnor sprints across the midsection of the ship and mans the weapons.

Boom! The Gregis is damaged badly. Aris who appears as a being of light flickers in the ether.


AGNOR
Sir we are damaged. The hull is ripped open. We are having to seal the ship doors. It is only a matter of time. Time we don’t have.


ARIS
We must send a signal out to our allies in the area. Was the rift cannon finished?


AGNOR
Yes sir. It's just beyond the bay doors that we sealed off.


ARIS
Hurry, grab a life support suit and head through damaged bay corridor to the rift cannon.


AGNOR
Roger that sir.

Moments later...
Agnor fully suited heads down the hall and presses the emergency door latch. Whishhhh! Gases fill the area and expel. SLAM! The door seals behind him.

BOOM! Small hits rock the ship. Agnor breathes heavy in his suit, as he rushes to the end of the hall. The door is damaged and refuses to budge. Agnor opens the damaged control panel and goes to work on it. It shorts out, then It short circuits again.

The door tries to budge open. BOOM! The Gregis sustains another hit. This time it knocks Agnor back. Parts of the ship collapses. Agnor is hurt, and bleeds out profusely. Its no use. Things are grim for Agnor. One final Boom! The sound of hyper flares ripping open the wall burning a door.


AGNOR
It's them.

Allied troops help save Agnor. They help him up. Agnor looks up and notices its an Angelis. A female of their species. She glows around her eyes through her suit. Her breathing is more hollow. It is distinct and grand.


AGNOR
Quick the rift cannon! Take me to it.

The Angelis smashes past the door with raw strength. It tears open like paper. Agnor leaps and smashes the control systems igniting the cannons. They glow and charge up with an energetic flow that draws deeper raw power. BOOM! The edge of the galaxy is struck with the energy and it rips open space and time. It forms a grid of dark energy that pulls the Jakokian Armada in and cuddles them softly before exploding. Agnor exhales his last breathe. The Angelis hoist him up to carry him.


THE END.

Thank you. I currently work with a director on putting films like this together.

Poor Agnor. He only gets the girl after he is already dead. :(

Risky move, ripping open space and time like that.

I don't think any story that short ever had so much important stuff happen so fast!

That's the screenplay writer side of you, always economical, keeping the action moving. :)

I didn’t want him to die. He had to risk it all the save the others. Thanks
