!Alien Attack!

!Alien Attack!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there lived a boy named Jerry.

He lived with a couple of friends inside their secret hideout on the corner of the poor side of town named Farmfill.

He was different to his friends because his friends were just civilians and he was a protector.

One day he left to find food but when he returned his civilians had disappeared along with all the equipment they needed to keep them alive.

He felt sad and he thought to himself he wasn't a good protector because he lost his friends.

Suddenly he was also captured the aliens, he broke his friends out of their cells and they all moved to another planet named peacealand.
