Story idea #1

[Senses Fail]

Alastair (English word meaning "defender of mankind") is living on planet earth just going day by day. When he's sleeping, he has dreams of people coming up to him saying "you will be the defender, but you won't be alone". He sees specialists and countless shrinks about this dream and why it keeps reocurring but nobody can find the answer. One night, as he's walking home from work, a man wearing a black cloak with his face covered pulls him into an alleyway. The man (named Aeron, meaning "carnage, slaughter") hands him a folder containing a picture of Alastair's parents, and a letter containing what he must do. As Alastair is reading the letter, he hears "You will be the defender, but you won't be alone". He looks up and Aeron is gone. Alastair stays up all night reading this letter over and over. It starts with "You, Alastair, are the saving grace of the human race" and it goes on to explain just what is going to happen and when it is going to start (It starts at "12:01 PM the next day"). At 12:01 PM the ground opens up and the sky turns to this ( www.estpak.ee/~tonu/ufo.jpg ). All of a sudden, people with torn flesh and bones sticking out of their sking and deep, dark, red eyes start pouring out of the holes that are on either end of the planet. Finally, Alastair knows what he needs to do, stop these people from destroying the planet. When it all starts, Alastair meets a girl by the name of Berlin who says she was summoned to help him win the war. The two start fighting side by side and killing some of the demons but nothing is stopping the monstrosities from entering through the holes. Alastair and Berlin look through the letter one more time to see if there was any detail they missed. They find nothing they missed, but when Alastair puts the paper back, Berlin notices something on the back. It is a picture of a 9 with a circle around it (meaning "The 9th Circle of Planets"). It says under it: "The defeat them all, you must defeat one". It means that they have to find the one that started it to end it. During some of the battles, Alastair and Berlin meet another who helps Alastair: a half demon/half human from the 9th Circle of Planets named Odol (meaning "blood"). He has the mind of one of the demons and has defied his former governmental position to help Alastair rid Earth of the demons. Alastair and Berlin continue to ask Odol who is behind this and how to stop them, but Odol refuses. When asked why, he responds: "I"m too ashamed to let you know, I don't think you could take it!". The battles rage on and the group comes to a town that has been completely taken over by the demons. At first, it looks as though it is just demons are living there, but upon further inspection, it shows that the government of the 9th Circle has taken it as their stronghold. Alastair and Berlin push to go in and demand them to stop but Odol tells them no ("We storm in, we die more horribly then out here!"). One night, Berlin sneaks out from the "camp" they've made for that night and breaks into the stronghold. She finds a document on a database that explains the whole plan. She gets back to the camp in the morning and tells the guys what she found. When they ask "Who's behind this?" she simply replies: "It's more shocking than you could ever guess..." and that's where the album ends.
