77 Attack (1/2)

Wallace woke up due to a loud noise coming from an engine. The noise from it was so disturbing that his body is feeling the vibrations it exudes.

He stood up and noticed that furnitures, utensils, and other objects in his room is also vibrating like there's an earthquake.

A few moments passed and the loud sound lessened like it was able to successfully stabilize it's machine.

”Where did that come from?”

Wallace still felt sleepy and asked himself. Such noise didn't come from a car, there isn't any huge factory in the small town and he's also aware that there isn't any nearby constructions going on.

He tried looking where was it coming from and opened the window in his room. It should be around eight in the morning but the sky still seems to be a bit too dark. The sun should have been up more than an hour ago.

Wallace remembered that there isn't any report yesterday about possible rain or storm  for today.

As the engine noise can still be heard though not as loud a while ago, it was still annoying and isn't polite at all.

Wallace saw that their neighbours went outside and seems to be looking at the sky. Wallace couldn't see in the window what they are looking at as they were looking on the eastside and his room is located on the northside. He has to go outside and look on it as he was quite curious right now.

He didn't bother to change his clothes or fix himself as he took his slippers and went outside.

As he headed downstairs, he saw his father was also about to go out.

”Oh, dad. What could that be?”

Wallace asked his father. He just arrived here in the town yesterday so he asked him just in case that this happened before.

”I'm not sure as well. This is the first time that this had actually happened. Oh, your mom is almost done cooking breakfast, you can eat first.” Chase replied to his son.

”It's fine. I'll go with you.” Wallace said as he couldn't contain his curiousity.

”Alright.” His father agreed and headed out together with Wallace. His little sister may still be sleeping or together with his mom on the kitchen.

The father and son saw their neighbours and greeted them casually but as they noticed that they didn't respond and just continued looking up in the east, they decided to look as well.

There they noticed a huge disc that could almost cover the whole sky.

Not only that, the floating disc doesn't seem to be alone as they could even vaguely see a dozen more silhouettes of this gigantic floating disc slowly descending to the ground. They felt that that the other floating monstrosities were just waiting for the first vanguard to descend before they complete their own.

A few moments later, they saw a clear view of floating machine.

Looking carefully, the disc is just actually a base of a floating city or island. This large and dark floating ship hovers effortlessly without any visible means of propulsion. They also noticed a rotating colored lights underneath the ship that seems to gauge the distance from the ground and looking at the top portion of the ship, it has well lit structure where they could identify things that look some kind of tall buildings.

Everyone was so surprised on this and couldn't say a word until someone broke the silence.

”W-what is that?” A young man asked. He was obviously scared hearing his tone of question. But this question was in everyone's mind and no one could answer.

”It landed near Stella Region, I hope that people already vacated that place.” An old man beside Wallace muttered. The man was still able to worry about others and remain calm although he couldn't explain what is happening.
