@bobthbuilder's version
We've been living in this house for a few years. Nothing would have really prepared me for what was about to happen. Sure, they told us that if a disaster ever hit that we'd just have to hide in our basement and put on gas masks...that everything would blow over quickly. That's not exactly how it happenend.
I was sweeping the floor in my kitchen, occasionally glancing out the kitchen window to catch glimpses of the green hillsides and to enjoy the singing of the birds nearby. With a ponytail and whispies falling at my cheeks, my three little children were playing in the living room. It was at this moment, while I was leaning against my broom with a sun-splashed warmth coating my dress and apron, that I saw a flash of light. Almost immediately there was a plume of green and purple smoke shooting up with an orange tinged halo near the origin of the flash.
"TO THE BASEMENT!!! NOW!!!"

Quickly and scared as hell, all four of us ran to the basement. Locked up, and held each other. We stayed there for what seemed like hours, or days, 忙 I lost track of time. Strangely everywhere was so quiet, I was expecting to hear more explosions from the surface. Would this be the last day I'd ever see my children, I asked myself as I looked at my three daughters @merit.ahama
@iskafan and
@khaleesii holding each other's hands. I was taken back to a scenario that happened some years back.
It was their birthday, despite being triplets, they always felt I gave khaleesii a preferential treatment.
"Mom, why does khal get a bigger cake?" Iska asked.
"Yeah, and why does she get a pink cake, I want a pink cake too." Merit added with a frown on her face.
"You both are just jealous. I'm the prettiest, that's why I always get the prettiest things."
They quarreled all the time about every single thing. Most times Iska and Merit teaming up against Khal. But that didn't stop both of them from head butting each other time to time. I was brought back to reality by Iska's voice
"Mom someone is in the house."
"Oh no I forgot my barbie doll, do you think they will destroy it?"
"Don't be silly Khal. How can you be thinking of your doll right now."
"Will you girls stop bickering and be silent." I said as I signaled them to get behind me.
The sound seemed like footsteps of several people. For some reason, they seemed to know our location, because the footsteps kept approaching non stop. Slowly, I cocked the PsyberX Triple barrel which my husband gave me for situations like this. I could feel my kids shiver in fear right behind me, weapon in my hand pointed directly to the entrance of the basement, we awaited the intruders, whoever or whatever they may be.
The door creaked open gently, I was ready to blow up the first thing that pops out through the door. Definitely the ugly looking Cyber punks, with blazing eyes and multiple arms as described by scientists, or so I thought. Instead a man walked through the door, with a smirk on his face and his teammates behind him. It was after I released the trigger of my weapon that I realized that the face was actually a familiar face... a human. The bullets exploded on the wall missing the target by a few inches.
"Uncle poly!?" Merit exclaimed.
"@mineopoly what's going on here?" I asked in confusion.
"This was a routine dear, we had to run a test to make sure the citizens are ready to take immediate action when the cyberpunks finally arrive."
"This is crazy, some people would die out of shock. Mineopoly, I almost blew your head off!"
"But you didn't, My team and I are on ground to ensure that there are no casualties. You did great Mrs dollar, my brother would have been proud." He said with a smile that never leaves his face.
We were ready, more like we thought we were ready. That day, the people of Psyberx celebrated like we have defeated our enemy. We were so proud of ourselves, like I said we thought we were ready. It was ten years later that we realized that we were not ready in any way.
The Cyberpunks invaded brutally, with a format contrary to what we predicted. They took us by surprise. We expected them to come through the skies, instead they came from underneath through the seas and oceans. They killed the humans in their millions. They came in thousands of Giant ships, on them were boldly enscribed
Thankfully I had my daughters to protect me. During those ten years, Iska and Merit took up arms and joined the resistants. Khaleesii couldn't get herself to leave my side, so she stayed back to take care of me. When the battles heated up, and I realized that humanity needed all the hands they could get, I urged me favorite daughter to join the resistants. Convincing her that even I would Join, if my hands weren't feeble and shaky. It always gave me great joy whenever I see my daughters fully kitted and ready for battle. Deep down, I had this great fear in me, but it felt good knowing that they fought side by side and they got each other's back.
