CHAPTER 1: SEVEN DAYS TO
Welcome to the Supreme Defence Agency (SDA)
Buried deep beneath Antarctica, hidden by glaciers and guarded by sarcastic robots and flying penguins (experimental), lies the Supreme Defence Agency — SDA. Earth's last line of defense.
They handle everything from alien invasions to time-traveling squirrels. But this time, it's serious. A hologram flashes red over the main table:
"EARTH DESTRUCTION IMMINENT – 7 DAYS REMAINING"
Agent Zik (Field Commander):(leans back with a smirk)"Well, that's not ideal."
Dr. Glitch (Lead Scientist):(frantically typing)"Definitely not. We've got volcanoes ready to pop, oceans rising, and the core's spinning like a fidget spinner."
Luna (Strategist):Calm we must remain,Panic makes fools of heroes,Let us make a plan.
Robo-Ravi (Panicked Intern Bot):"SUGGESTION: Cry a little. Then build something."
DAY 1 – THE VOLCANO STRATEGY
Situation: A chain of volcanoes in the Pacific Ring is preparing to erupt all at once.
Dr. Glitch:"If those blow, the ash cloud alone will block the sun for months."
Agent Zik:"Alright team—let's brainstorm. What puts out fire?"
Robo-Ravi:"WATER!"
Dr. Glitch:"...A really big bucket of water?"
Luna:Ideas may seem dumb,But dumb can sometimes work too,Build the bucket now.
Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.
They deploy a 300-meter robotic crane with a mega-bucket, filled with seawater.
Mission Status:- Lava slowed by 12%.- Crater partially cooled.- Also flooded a nearby island. Sorry, Fiji.
DAY 2 – OPERATION WIND PUSH
Situation: Global temperatures are rising abnormally. Forests burn. Ice caps collapse.
Dr. Glitch:"What if we make the world's biggest industrial fans to push the hot air upward?"
Agent Zik:"...Into space?"
Luna:Blades may not be wise,But desperation breeds wind,Let the turbines spin.
They install four mega-fans in the Himalayas, each powered by nuclear reactors. Once activated, they blow strong enough to knock satellites off-course.
Problem:The fans work—too well. Canada freezes. Kenya gets sunburnt. The equator becomes a windy wasteland.
Dr. Glitch:"...I may have overdone it."
DAY 3 – THE RISING OCEAN
Situation: Oceans are swallowing coastlines. Countries are shrinking.
Agent Zik:"We need to suck the water out."
Robo-Ravi:"Deploying MEGA-SPONGE SYSTEM ALPHA!"
SDA engineers develop synthetic sponges made from ultra-absorbent alien moss.
Luna:Soak the sea with hope,Let the tide bow to science,Just don't squeeze it hard.
The sponge soaks 8% of the oceans. Promising! Until it becomes too heavy and explodes from pressure—releasing a foam tsunami.
Result:A few coastal cities are covered in bubbles. Children enjoy it. Adults... not so much.
DAY 4 – BUILD THE SHIELD
Situation: A cosmic wave of radiation is incoming—strong enough to melt satellites and microwave burritos from space.
Dr. Glitch:"Time for my masterpiece: a global nanotech shield."
Agent Zik:"Can it cover the planet?"
Dr. Glitch:"...It currently covers a city block."
Agent Zik:"Well, hope Earth's final stand happens in downtown Tokyo."
They activate the nanoshield.
Success:
It deflects minor meteorites.
Saves a passing bird.
Looks cool from orbit.
Failure:
Doesn't scale in time.
Half the network malfunctions after someone spills coffee on the control panel.
DAY 5 – CLIMATE HACKERS
Situation: Climate collapse continues.
Agent Zik:"Let's go digital. Hack the climate system."
They hire rogue weather hackers from Antarctica's IceNet underground.
Dr. Glitch:"We'll reboot the atmosphere."
Problem:The hackers accidentally delete a huge chunk of internet services.
Robo-Ravi:"Uh-oh. They deleted YouTube."
Luna:Now humans rage more,With no memes or cat videos,Truly the end times.
DAY 6 – THE ESCAPE PLAN
Mr. Xylon appears—handsome, shiny, suspiciously helpful.
Mr. Xylon:"Hello, Earthlings. You're doomed. But I offer a spaceship to Pandora. Paradise awaits."
Agent Zik:"How do we know we can trust you?"
Mr. Xylon:"You don't. But your alternative is crispy volcano Earth."
Robo-Ravi:"STATISTICALLY: THIS MAN IS A LIAR."
They board the ship anyway. It's sleek, smooth, and AI-powered with voice responses that say "yes, master" in five languages.
They leave Earth behind.
DAY 7 – THE TITAN TRAP
Pandora. Beautiful skies. Floating islands. And giant titans roaming the surface.
System Warning:"LIFE FORMS DETECTED. DO NOT EXIT SHIP."
Agent Zik:"Great. We left a doomed planet for a snack box."
Dr. Glitch:"I say we build a drone. Scout from the air."
They build and launch the drone. It scans the surface and finds an old spaceship.
Dr. Glitch:"There's another ship out there. Human-made."
Zik:"Send Kian and Mira. Arm them up."
THE FACE AGAIN
Kian and Mira approach the ship.
A man steps out. Looks just like Mr. Xylon.
Mira:"That's him!"
Kian:"No... something's different."
Mysterious Man:"I'm Xylon Prime. The one you met on Earth was my clone."
Mira:"Why trick us?!"
Xylon Prime:"Because Pandora is also doomed. This planet will run out of oxygen in 5 days. I was trying to escape."
THE BREAKDOWN
Back on the ship, tensions explode.
Agent Zik:"You brought us here to die!"
Dr. Glitch:"You approved the launch!"
Luna:Words become weapons,Hope fades in hostile airships,Silence fills the void.
They argue for hours. Plans are drawn. Rejected. Scrapped. Rebooted.
Time runs out.
Oxygen drops.
The ship darkens.
[FINAL MOMENTS – INSIDE THE SHIP]
Oxygen: 2%... 1%... 0%
Agent Zik (leaning back, tired but smiling):"Well... we tried, huh?"
Dr. Glitch (slumped by the console):"I should've added... more filters..."
Luna (softly):Stars blink their goodbye,Fools we were, but brave we died,Earth was never kind...
Robo-Ravi (final line):"SYSTEM SHUTDOWN... GOODBYE... HUMANS..."
The ship falls silent.
Pandora, once full of towering titans and alien winds, drifts quietly.
Their mission failed.The SDA... is no more.
CHAPTER 1 ENDS.
