Defense Of The Ancients

   Men. Typical of them to continue destroying the planet. With all their pollution and "technology" that just destroys our home. Looks like it's time to fight back. Time to show them, we will not sit still and watch as our kind gradually becomes extinct. Time for us Ancients to reveal our presence and show them true power rather than artificial weapons called "nuclear bombs".

“James, we got movement of Earth’s crust at California! It seems to be an earthquake! And not a normal one at that. It seems abnormal…”

James ran towards the computer screen to take a better look.

“You better look at this…”

“We are now broadcasting live at California. An earthquake just occurred here less than 5 minutes ago. OMG! It looks like there are trees growing from it! Unbelievable. How is this possible? I don’t think there’s a scientific explanation for AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!”

This female is on a camera. Perfect for me to tell them it’s time for their punishment. I’ll just throw her away and grab the camera to start.

*throws woman away*

That male carrying the camera just dropped it and ran away. Hope it’s still usable. 

“HUMANS! THIS IS THE ANCIENTS, A TRIBE AND SPECIES YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE. WE HAVE TOLERATED YOU AND YOUR FACTORIES, CARS, AND WHATEVER YOU HAVE USED THAT CAUSES PLANET EARTH TO FADE AWAY DAY BY DAY. WE HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE A STAND AND ELIMINATE YOUR ENTIRE SPECIES. PREPARE YOURSELVES, FOR YOUR END DRAWS NEAR.”

James could not believe it. A tree was just on television and talking. Saying something about human annihilation. It just didn’t make sense. But if what he - it said was true, then war would break out between trees and humans. Well, we all know that trees don’t stand a chance against machines so there’s nothing to worry about. I hope.

Soldiers were running, taking their weapons and moving towards the nearest aircraft. Their weapons were not guns but weed killer spray, deadly towards plants. They had expected something like this to happen ever since some archaeologists found a tablet with writings describing creatures that would arise if Earth's environment was threatened. “Let’s get the show on the road!” shouted General Cain. “Time to show these plants who’s boss.”

A flying machine just passed us overhead. Probably their best warriors come to fight. No worries. We’ll just crush them like the bugs they are. They think they can fight us. How foolish of them. How can anything fight against nature itself?

Landing in an empty parking lot, the soldiers got out one by one, hurrying to secure their position. General Cain stepped out of the helicopter, cigarette in mouth. One of those trees was running-not running, but pulling himself with his roots towards them. “Get ready man! It’s coming!” The soldiers all started spraying at the same time. With an almighty roar, the Ancient grabbed 2 soldiers and threw them as hard as he could. There was a sickening ‘crunch’ heard when they made contact with the ground. Then it fell down, without making another sound.

How is that possible? They took down Agafya with their weapons. Never mind. He didn’t die in vain. We will avenge him. Immediately.

General Cain approached the creature, gun in hand for safety measures. The tree didn’t move at all. It was just a tree now. Looks like they aren’t very strong after all. “General, we’re being surrounded.” General Cain looked up. Looks like things were about to get very fun.

The cameraman working with the army is sure giving the rest of the world a good view of what it’s like on the battlefield. They had successfully taken down one of those “Ancients”, but now unfortunately, they were surrounded by about 10 of them. 1 and 10 is a very big difference, James thought. This could work out really well for mankind, or it will be our extinction. We’ll just have to wait and watch.

“ALL ARMS READY! WAIT FOR MY ORDER!” Have to wait until their in range. As soon as that happens, they will get to meet their Creator.

James watched tensely. It looked like humans would be able to win this battle. And winning the first battle was always important. And then suddenly, he saw what they could do. And he realized that all was lost.  A few trees had just emerged from the ground out of nowhere, and they were being controlled by the Ancients. Their branches swinging wildly grabbing any man in reach, they ripped them from limb to limb. The army didn’t even stand a chance. It was like a scene from Narnia where nature itself was their number one enemy.

No man left standing. Maybe this will make them realize that any form of resistance is worthless. No mercy shall be shown to them. The world will live like it once used to again. Without blemish. Without dirt. Without humans.
