The rising mushroom cloud was soon scattered by a gust of wind.
A massive crater stretched three hundred meters long and two hundred meters wide.
Only scattered flying saucer wreckage remained at the bottom. Not a single large fragment was left; debris had been thrown everywhere.
Dis stood amid the dust and sand. His Silver Wing Armor was slightly damaged, and he gripped a huge diamond-shaped shield whose lower half was planted in the ground. He looked a mess.
The shield's surface had caved in and was slowly returning to its original shape.
"My car... My car!"
Dis's voice boomed through his Silver Wing Armor. He was beside himself with rage.
The flying saucer was the most expensive thing he owned, and his most powerful possession. He had never imagined it would be destroyed in the first exchange.
He had wrecked one before, but that had been a "company car" assigned by his master.
This one, though, he had bought with his own savings. When the previous saucer crashed, several of his comrades had died. They had no children, so the surviving Little Greys inherited their estates.
Dis had only been able to afford this private Anti-gravity Planetary Orbital Car because he had inherited a share of his comrades' wealth.
It was a military model, with an Energy Shield two grades above his armor's, along with tremendous speed and agility. It could automatically evade obstacles and incoming fire.
More importantly, it was both a vehicle and a weapon. It could transform into a huge axe-spear for combat and unleash a level-two Nano Storm.
A Nano Storm swept through like a plague of locusts. It consisted of hundreds of trillions of Nano Robots capable of flying through the atmosphere.
They were invisible to the human eye, yet seemed to be everywhere.
