00:00:00
Commander Vextower thought conquering
00:00:02
Earth would be easy. Right up until his
00:00:04
elite soldiers collapsed under our
00:00:06
gravity before they fired a single shot.
00:00:08
Commander Vextower of the Cronin
00:00:10
Dominion stood before the panoramic
00:00:12
viewing screen of his flagship, the
00:00:14
Relentless Conquest, and allowed himself
00:00:16
a smirk that would have looked
00:00:17
absolutely ridiculous to any human
00:00:19
observer. Not that he cared what humans
00:00:22
thought. In approximately six rotations,
00:00:24
there would not be any humans left to
00:00:26
have opinions about anything. Status
00:00:28
report. he barked, his three primary
00:00:31
arms clasped behind his dorsal ridge in
00:00:33
what he considered a pose of supreme
00:00:35
military authority. "Sir, we are
00:00:38
approaching the third planet from the
00:00:40
central star," replied Lieutenant Kexor,
00:00:42
who is desperately trying to match his
00:00:44
commander's confidence despite never
00:00:46
having actually seen combat. "The
00:00:48
natives call it Earth, which is somehow
00:00:50
both boring and pretentious at the same
00:00:52
time." Vextover's smirk widened. Uh yes,
00:00:56
Earth. The primitive little mudball
00:00:58
inhabited by soft pink bipedal creatures
00:01:00
who had barely managed to escape their
00:01:02
own gravity well, let alone master
00:01:04
faster than light travel. The
00:01:06
intelligence reports had been clear.
00:01:08
These humans possessed nuclear weapons,
00:01:10
chemical propulsion systems, and an
00:01:12
inexplicable obsession with something
00:01:14
called social media. Terrifying stuff.
00:01:16
Truly. Remind me, Vexelvoy said, turning
00:01:19
to his second in command, Captain
00:01:21
Thrzik. How many worlds has the chronis
00:01:24
dominion successfully conquered in the
00:01:26
past cycle? 17, sir, Thrzic replied with
00:01:29
evident pride, her bioluminescent
00:01:31
patches glowing a satisfied purple. Not
00:01:33
a single casualty on our side. Well,
00:01:35
unless you count private mixt, but he
00:01:38
walked into a reactor coil because he
00:01:39
was distracted by his communication
00:01:41
device, so that hardly counts as combat
00:01:43
related. The bridge crew chittered with
00:01:45
amusement, which sounded like a dozen
00:01:48
malfunctioning hard drives all playing
00:01:49
different error messages simultaneously.
00:01:52
Vexttovore appreciated good morale. It
00:01:55
made conquering significantly easier
00:01:56
when your troops believed they were
00:01:58
invincible. And why should they not? The
00:02:00
Cronath had swept through the Outer Rim
00:02:02
territories like a particularly
00:02:04
aggressive dust storm. The methane
00:02:06
breathers of Gig 7 had surrendered after
00:02:08
one look at the Cronath battle
00:02:10
formation. The crystalline hive mines of
00:02:12
Praxis 9 had actually thanked them for
00:02:14
the invasion, claiming it broke up the
00:02:16
monotony of their eternal existence. The
00:02:18
floating gas sacks of Nebulos 12 had not
00:02:21
even realized they were being conquered
00:02:23
until the paperwork was filed with the
00:02:25
Galactic Council. Compared to those
00:02:27
campaigns, Earth would be laughably
00:02:29
simple. Pull up the reconnaissance data
00:02:31
again," Beexttow ordered, settling into
00:02:33
his command throne, which was
00:02:35
specifically designed to accommodate his
00:02:37
species unique skeletal structure and
00:02:39
excessive number of joints. "I want to
00:02:41
review what passes for military might on
00:02:43
this pathetic rock." The main screen
00:02:45
flickered to life, displaying footage
00:02:47
captured by their long-range survey
00:02:49
drones over the past several rotations.
00:02:52
Vexto watched as human military forces
00:02:54
paraded around in their quaint little
00:02:56
vehicles, firing their adorable
00:02:58
chemical-based weapons at targets. They
00:03:01
moved so slowly. Their reaction times
00:03:03
were atrocious. And their technology, by
00:03:06
the standards, their technology looked
00:03:08
like it had been assembled by
00:03:09
particularly industrious children
00:03:11
playing with spare parts. "Look at
00:03:13
them," Beexto said, gesturing at the
00:03:16
screen with two of his arms while using
00:03:18
the third to scratch an itch on his
00:03:19
cranial ridge. They still use wheeled
00:03:22
transport wheels as if friction is
00:03:24
something to be embraced rather than
00:03:26
overcome. The preliminary scans indicate
00:03:29
they have not even achieved basic
00:03:30
gravitational manipulation, Kixnor
00:03:32
added, consulting his data tablet. Their
00:03:35
ships still rely on controlled
00:03:37
explosions for propulsion. It is almost
00:03:39
endearing in a pathetic sort of way. How
00:03:42
long until we achieve orbit? Vexto
00:03:44
asked. Approximately two time units,
00:03:47
sir. We are maintaining stealth
00:03:49
protocols, though honestly I doubt their
00:03:51
detection systems could spot us even if
00:03:53
we broadcast our arrival on all
00:03:54
frequencies while playing festive music.
00:03:57
Vexelvor nodded approvingly. Everything
00:03:59
was proceeding exactly according to
00:04:01
plan. The Kronath fleet, consisting of
00:04:04
47 battle cruisers, 200 support vessels,
00:04:07
and enough ground forces to overwhelm a
00:04:09
planet three times Earth's size, would
00:04:11
slip into orbit undetected. They would
00:04:13
establish orbital superiority, eliminate
00:04:16
any satellites or space stations, and
00:04:18
then commence the landing operations. By
00:04:21
this time tomorrow, Earth's governments
00:04:23
would be falling over themselves to
00:04:24
surrender. It was almost too easy,
00:04:27
almost boring, really. Sir, called out
00:04:31
from the sensor station, her voice
00:04:33
carrying a note of uncertainty that
00:04:34
Vexto found mildly annoying. I am
00:04:37
detecting some unusual readings as we
00:04:39
approach optimal orbital insertion
00:04:41
distance. Define unusual, Vex Telvorne
00:04:44
said. Not particularly concerned. Every
00:04:47
planet had its quirks. Magnetic fields,
00:04:50
radiation belts, the occasional sentient
00:04:52
energy being living in the upper
00:04:54
atmosphere. Nothing the Kronath could
00:04:56
not handle. The gravitational readings
00:04:58
are higher than expected, sir.
00:05:00
Significantly higher. Higher than what?
00:05:03
Higher than any habitable planet we have
00:05:05
encountered in the past 50 cycles of
00:05:07
conquest, sir. Vexttow waved a
00:05:09
dismissive hand. Recalibrate your
00:05:11
instruments, Inson. The preliminary
00:05:14
surveys indicated standard parameters
00:05:16
for a planet of Earth's mass and
00:05:17
density. You are likely experiencing
00:05:20
sensor drift from the jump through
00:05:21
hyperspace. Sir, I have recalibrated
00:05:24
three times. The readings are
00:05:26
consistent. Earth's surface gravity
00:05:28
measures approximately 9.8 of their
00:05:30
meters/s squared, which translates to
00:05:33
roughly 2.1 times the standard cronth
00:05:36
baseline. A brief moment of silence
00:05:38
filled the bridge. 2.1 times," Vextto
00:05:42
repeated slowly. "Yes, sir." Vextto felt
00:05:45
a tiny, almost imperceptible flutter of
00:05:47
concern in his primary stomach. 2.1
00:05:50
times standard was, "Well, it was
00:05:52
manageable, probably. The Cronaf had
00:05:54
invaded worlds with slightly elevated
00:05:56
gravity before. It just meant the troops
00:05:59
would tire more quickly, and the
00:06:00
equipment would need minor adjustments.
00:06:02
Nothing that would compromise the
00:06:04
invasion." "Interesting," he said,
00:06:06
maintaining his authoritative tone. So
00:06:09
the humans evolved on a high-gravity
00:06:11
world. That explains why they are so
00:06:13
short and dense. No matter. Adjust the
00:06:15
landing protocols accordingly and
00:06:18
distribute gravity compensation
00:06:19
medication to all ground forces. This
00:06:22
changes nothing. Yes, sir. The bridge
00:06:24
crew responded in unison. Vexel returned
00:06:27
his attention to the viewing screen,
00:06:29
watching as Earth grew larger in their
00:06:31
approach. The planet looked depectively
00:06:33
pleasant from orbit with its blue oceans
00:06:35
and swirling white clouds and annoyingly
00:06:37
vibrant green continents. Somewhere down
00:06:40
there, humans were going about their
00:06:42
mundane little lives, completely unaware
00:06:44
that their world was about to be
00:06:46
conquered by a superior species. The
00:06:48
relentless conquest shuddered slightly
00:06:50
as it began its orbital insertion burn,
00:06:52
and Vexel felt the familiar thrill of
00:06:54
impending victory wash over him. his
00:06:57
18th conquest. Another world for the
00:06:59
Cronith dominion. Another line on his
00:07:01
already impressive service record. What
00:07:04
could possibly go wrong? The first wave
00:07:06
of Chronith drop pods screamed through
00:07:08
Earth's atmosphere like meteors with a
00:07:10
really poor understanding of subtlety.
00:07:12
Vexar watched from the orbital command
00:07:14
center. His three arms crossed in what
00:07:16
he hoped looked like confident authority
00:07:18
rather than the nervous tension that was
00:07:19
currently making his joints ache. Drop
00:07:22
pods approaching landing zone alpha,
00:07:24
reported Kixon. Monitoring the descent
00:07:27
trajectories. Estimated ground contact
00:07:29
in 45 seconds. All systems nominal.
00:07:32
Excellent. Vextovorin said though
00:07:35
something in his secondary stomach was
00:07:36
doing uncomfortable flips. He had
00:07:39
distributed the gravity compensation
00:07:40
medication to all troops, doubled the
00:07:43
doses just to be safe, and reinforced
00:07:45
the drop pod shock absorbers. Everything
00:07:48
would be fine. Absolutely fine. The
00:07:51
first pod hit the ground in what
00:07:52
appeared to be a rural area designated
00:07:54
as Kansas, which apparently meant
00:07:56
absolutely nothing interesting ever
00:07:58
happened there. The locals were about to
00:08:00
get a very rude awakening. The pods
00:08:02
doors blasted open with practiced
00:08:04
precision smoke billowing out
00:08:06
dramatically, and squad leader Brixton
00:08:08
took his first confident step onto
00:08:10
Earth's surface. Or rather, he attempted
00:08:12
to take a confident step. What actually
00:08:14
happened was that Brixton's leg buckled
00:08:16
the moment his boot touched the ground
00:08:18
and he face planted into the dirt with a
00:08:20
wet thud that was audible even over the
00:08:22
communication channel. His armor, which
00:08:24
weighed practically nothing on the
00:08:25
Kronath home world, suddenly felt like
00:08:28
it was forged from neutron star
00:08:29
material. Brixton report. Vextau barked
00:08:33
into the command channel. The response
00:08:35
came as a strangled Whis. Sir, I cannot.
00:08:38
I am unable. Everything is so so heavy.
00:08:40
Oh, standards, help me. I think my spine
00:08:42
is compressing. What? I cannot stand,
00:08:45
sir. The gravity it is crushing me. My
00:08:48
bones are screaming. Behind Brixton, the
00:08:50
rest of his squad attempted to exit the
00:08:52
pod. Trooper Caxerel made it two steps
00:08:55
before collapsing sideways. Private
00:08:57
Liixara actually managed three steps,
00:09:00
which would have been impressive except
00:09:01
she was crawling on all six of her limbs
00:09:03
and whimpering about her ancestor.
00:09:05
Sergeant Drix tried to activate his jump
00:09:07
pack to compensate, which resulted in
00:09:09
him launching approximately 4 in off the
00:09:11
ground before slamming back down and
00:09:13
vomiting spectacularly inside his
00:09:15
helmet. This is not happening,
00:09:17
Vexelvorne muttered, watching the
00:09:19
tactical display as squad after squad
00:09:21
reported similar catastrophic failures.
00:09:24
This cannot be happening, sir. Squad 7
00:09:27
reports their combat walker has
00:09:29
collapsed under its own weight.
00:09:30
Thrrellic reported her bioluminescent
00:09:33
patch is flickering a distressed orange.
00:09:35
Squad 12 says their weapons are too
00:09:37
heavy to lift. Squad 3 is requesting
00:09:39
immediate medical evacuation because
00:09:41
private Texner's exoskeleton has fused
00:09:44
to his body from the pressure. On the
00:09:46
ground, the situation was deteriorating
00:09:48
from bad to absolutely mortifying at a
00:09:50
speed that would have impressed a
00:09:51
relativistic physicist. The Kronif
00:09:53
invasion force, pride of the Dominion,
00:09:55
military elite warriors who had
00:09:57
conquered 17 worlds, were lying on the
00:09:59
ground like overturned beetles flailing
00:10:01
their multiple limbs uselessly at the
00:10:03
sky. A human farmer named Robert
00:10:05
Hutchkins, who had been enjoying his
00:10:07
morning coffee on his porch, watched the
00:10:10
spectacle with the kind of confused
00:10:12
fascination normally reserved for
00:10:14
particularly stupid viral videos. He
00:10:16
took another sip of his coffee. He blew
00:10:19
one of the alien invaders was trying to
00:10:21
lift what appeared to be a weapon. the
00:10:22
size of a toaster, succeeding only in
00:10:25
making sad wheezing noises. "Honey,"
00:10:27
Robert, called into his house. "You are
00:10:30
going to want to see this." His wife,
00:10:32
Patricia, emerged onto the porch, still
00:10:34
in her bathrobe. She looked at the scene
00:10:37
of alien soldiers sprawled across their
00:10:39
wheat field like some kind of
00:10:40
extraterrestrial yard sale. "Are those
00:10:43
supposed to be alien?" "I think they are
00:10:45
trying to invade us," Robert said
00:10:46
thoughtfully. "They are doing a terrible
00:10:49
job. Real terrible." One of the Cronath
00:10:51
soldiers managed to prop himself up on
00:10:53
his arms, looking directly at the human
00:10:55
couple. He opened his mouth to deliver
00:10:58
what was probably supposed to be a
00:10:59
terrifying declaration of conquest. What
00:11:02
came out was, "Please help. Everything
00:11:04
hurts. Why is your planet so angry?"
00:11:07
Patricia took out her phone and started
00:11:09
recording. Back in orbit, Vextov was
00:11:11
experiencing what could only be
00:11:13
described as a full-blown panic attack,
00:11:15
though he would later describe it in his
00:11:17
official report as tactical
00:11:19
recalibration under unexpected
00:11:20
environmental parameters. The view
00:11:23
screens showed absolute chaos. Hundreds
00:11:25
of his finest soldiers reduced to
00:11:27
helpless larae by a force they could not
00:11:29
even see. The gravity compensation
00:11:31
medication is not working. Kicks shouted
00:11:34
over the cacophony of screaming troops.
00:11:36
It was designed for mild variations, not
00:11:39
this, this, whatever this nightmare is.
00:11:42
Deploy the mechanized units, Vexto
00:11:44
ordered desperately. Surely the
00:11:46
automated systems can handle the
00:11:48
gravity. That turned out to be an opt to
00:11:50
be an optimistic assumption. The first
00:11:52
Kronath battle mech stepped out of its
00:11:54
deployment shuttle, took one thunderous
00:11:56
step forward, and then its leg actuator
00:11:59
screamed in protest before snapping
00:12:01
completely. The mech toppled forward in
00:12:03
slow motion, creating a crater when it
00:12:05
hit the ground that would later become a
00:12:07
minor tourist attraction. Sir, the mechs
00:12:09
are overloading. The servos cannot
00:12:12
handle the weight distribution. What
00:12:14
about the hover tanks? They are hovering
00:12:16
approximately 2 in off the ground and
00:12:18
cannot gain altitude. One of them
00:12:20
crashed into a human structure called a
00:12:22
Dairy Queen. The humans appear more
00:12:25
upset about the ice cream than the
00:12:27
invasion. Vexel watched in horror as his
00:12:29
meticulously planned invasion crumbled
00:12:31
like a cookie in the hands of a toddler.
00:12:34
Across 17 different landing zones, the
00:12:37
story was the same. Kronath soldiers
00:12:39
lying helpless on the ground, equipment
00:12:42
failing, weapons too heavy to aim, armor
00:12:44
that had become prison rather than
00:12:46
protection. In downtown Tokyo, a group
00:12:49
of office workers on their lunch break
00:12:51
gathered around a struggling Cronith
00:12:53
warrior who had managed to prop himself
00:12:55
against a vending machine. One of them
00:12:57
offered him a bottle of water. The
00:12:59
warrior tried to take it, but his arm
00:13:01
collapsed under the combined weight of
00:13:02
his armor and the bottle. "I think he
00:13:04
needs help," one worker said in
00:13:06
Japanese. "Should we call someone?"
00:13:09
Another asked, "Who do you call for a
00:13:11
failed alien invasion?" A third worker
00:13:13
wondered, "Is that police or fire
00:13:15
department?" In London, a Cronith
00:13:18
soldier's desperate crawl towards
00:13:19
strategic objective beta, which turned
00:13:22
out to be a fish chip shop was live
00:13:24
streaming on six different social media
00:13:26
platforms. The comment section was
00:13:28
ruthless. Mate, do you even lift? One
00:13:31
comment read, "Skip like damn much,"
00:13:34
posted another. "This is the worst
00:13:35
invasion since my mother-in-law
00:13:37
visited." Contributed a third. Vextow
00:13:40
slumped in his command throne, watching
00:13:43
17 simultaneous feeds of humiliation.
00:13:45
His troops were begging for extraction.
00:13:48
Some were actually crying. One squad had
00:13:50
given up entirely and was just lying on
00:13:52
the ground making snow angels in the
00:13:54
dirt. Except there was no snow, just
00:13:56
despair. Recall all ground forces, he
00:13:58
said quietly. Sir, Thrillig asked. I
00:14:02
said, recall them. Get them off that
00:14:04
cursed planet before they suffocate
00:14:06
under their own body weight. This is a
00:14:08
full retreat. As the extraction shuttles
00:14:10
descended to rescue his defeated army,
00:14:13
Vexar could not help but wonder how the
00:14:15
humans had developed on a planet that
00:14:16
was apparently trying to crush
00:14:18
everything on its surface into a fine
00:14:20
paste. What kind of species evolved
00:14:22
under these conditions? What kind of
00:14:24
monsters casually walked around in 2.1
00:14:26
times standard gravity like it was
00:14:28
nothing? The humans apparently the soft,
00:14:32
primitive, technologically inferior
00:14:34
humans who were currently taking selfies
00:14:36
with his immobilized invasion force. Vex
00:14:39
Telvor had not slept in three rotation
00:14:41
cycles. He stood in the fleet's primary
00:14:43
research laboratory, watching his best
00:14:46
scientists scramble to solve a problem
00:14:48
that should not have existed in the
00:14:49
first place. Around him, Kronath
00:14:51
engineers poured over data streams, ran
00:14:54
simulations, and argued in the
00:14:55
high-pitched chittering that indicated
00:14:57
extreme stress. "Explain to me again,"
00:15:00
Vexttofor said, his voice dangerously
00:15:02
calm. "How we failed to account for
00:15:04
this?" Chief Science Officer Nara, who
00:15:07
had six advanced degrees and exactly
00:15:09
zero combat experience, fidgeted with
00:15:12
her data tablet. Commander, the
00:15:14
preliminary surveys were conducted via
00:15:16
long range scan. We measured mass. We
00:15:19
measured density. We calculated the
00:15:21
expected gravitational force. Somehow
00:15:23
somewhere, our equations were
00:15:25
catastrophically wrong. Catastrophically
00:15:28
wrong. Vex Tower repeated. That is the
00:15:30
technical assessment. Sir, Earth's
00:15:33
gravity is not just higher than
00:15:34
expected. It is higher than anything we
00:15:37
have encountered on a habitable world.
00:15:39
Most species evolve on planets with.7 to
00:15:42
1.2 times standard gravity. These humans
00:15:45
exist at 2.1 times standard. They are
00:15:48
biological impossibilities who somehow
00:15:50
do not realize they are biological
00:15:52
impossibilities. Vextel thought back to
00:15:54
the conquest of Glex 4 just two cycles
00:15:57
ago. beautiful Glex 4 with its 6
00:16:00
standard gravity where his troops had
00:16:02
bounded across the landscape like
00:16:03
graceful dancers. The native Glexins had
00:16:06
fought back with their plasma spears and
00:16:08
shield walls. But Cronith agility had
00:16:10
won the day. His soldiers had leaped
00:16:12
over fortifications, dodged energy acts
00:16:15
with ease, performed aerial maneuvers
00:16:17
that would have made acrobats weep with
00:16:19
envy. On Earth, his soldiers could not
00:16:21
even stand up without their knees
00:16:23
inverting. What about Praxis 9?
00:16:26
Lieutenant Kicksnar offered weekly. That
00:16:28
was 0.9 standard gravity and the
00:16:30
crystalline inhabitants put up quite a
00:16:32
fight. They put up a fight for
00:16:34
approximately 11 minutes. Vexelform
00:16:36
corrected before they realized we could
00:16:38
simply step on them. Their greatest
00:16:40
weapon was philosophical debate, which
00:16:42
is not particularly effective against
00:16:44
orbital bombardment. The memories stung
00:16:47
now. Every easy victory, every casual
00:16:50
conquest, every world where the chronic
00:16:52
military superiority had been
00:16:53
unquestionable. The floating cities of
00:16:56
Arim 3 where point4 gravity made
00:16:58
everything feel like a pleasant dream.
00:17:00
The oceanic platforms of Aquedus 7 where
00:17:03
point8 gravity was considered
00:17:05
oppressively high by the locals. Not one
00:17:07
of those worlds had prepared them for
00:17:09
earth. Show me what you have developed,
00:17:11
Vextelv ordered. Mentara gestured to a
00:17:14
neighboring platform where a prototype
00:17:16
gravity compensation suit hung on a
00:17:18
support frame. It looked like someone
00:17:20
had taken a standard Cronath combat suit
00:17:22
and added approximately 17 different
00:17:24
layers of mechanical assistance, power
00:17:26
cores, and stabilization fields. "We
00:17:29
have created an enhanced exoskeleton
00:17:31
with triple redundant gravitational
00:17:33
dampeners," Namara explained. "It has
00:17:36
reinforced joint actuators, spinal
00:17:38
support columns, and a distributed power
00:17:40
system that should theoretically allow
00:17:42
our troops to function normally under
00:17:44
Earth's conditions." Theoretically,
00:17:46
Vexto for said, "Well, yes, we have not
00:17:49
exactly had time for extensive field
00:17:51
testing. Then we test it now. Prepare a
00:17:54
second landing force. Smaller this time,
00:17:56
one squad, full equipment, these new
00:17:59
suits." We hit a remote location. We
00:18:01
establish that we can actually walk
00:18:03
around without collapsing. And then we
00:18:05
proceed with the invasion. 12 hours
00:18:07
later, a single kronith drop pod
00:18:09
descended toward a small town in rural
00:18:11
Montana called Whitefish, which had a
00:18:14
population of approximately 7,000 humans
00:18:16
who were about to have a very strange
00:18:18
morning. Squad leader Cricks, then
00:18:21
wearing one of the new gravity
00:18:22
compensation suits, felt cautiously
00:18:24
optimistic as the pod doors opened. The
00:18:27
suit hummed with power. The
00:18:29
gravitational dampeners thmed against
00:18:31
his exoskeleton. His vitals were stable.
00:18:34
His confidence was returning. He stepped
00:18:36
onto Earth's surface and immediately the
00:18:38
suits alarm system started screaming,
00:18:40
but he remained standing. Sure, every
00:18:43
joint felt like it was being squeezed in
00:18:45
a vice and yes, his vision was graying
00:18:47
at the edges from the pressure. And
00:18:49
okay, fine. He was pretty certain his
00:18:51
internal organs were rearranging
00:18:53
themselves, but he was standing. This
00:18:55
was progress. Squad, advance, he
00:18:58
commanded, his voice only slightly
00:19:00
strangled. His five troops emerged from
00:19:02
the pod, all wearing the new suits. all
00:19:05
managing to remain vertical. They looked
00:19:07
like a group of arthritic elderly
00:19:09
kronath trying to walk through setting
00:19:11
concrete, but they were mobile. That
00:19:13
counted for something. We are going to
00:19:15
secure that structure, Craigs said,
00:19:18
pointing at a nearby elementary school
00:19:20
where human children were currently at
00:19:22
recess. We take hostages, we demonstrate
00:19:25
our capability, and we send a message
00:19:27
that the Cronath cannot be defeated by
00:19:29
mere gravity. It was a solid plan. It
00:19:32
would have worked beautifully on
00:19:33
literally any other planet. They made it
00:19:35
approximately 50 m before the suit
00:19:38
started failing. Trooper Vixnel went
00:19:40
first. His left knee actuator sparked,
00:19:43
seized, and then exploded in a shower of
00:19:45
sparks. He toppled sideways like a
00:19:47
felled tree. Private Max's gravitational
00:19:50
dampener overloaded next, creating a
00:19:52
localized gravity anomaly that caused
00:19:54
her to suddenly weigh approximately
00:19:56
three times more than she already did.
00:19:58
She hit the ground so hard she created a
00:20:00
small impact crater. Craigsville pushed
00:20:03
forward, determined to reach the school
00:20:05
to salvage something from this disaster.
00:20:07
His HUD was flashing warnings in 17
00:20:10
different colors. His power core was at
00:20:12
63% and dropping fast. His spinal
00:20:15
support column was making alarming
00:20:17
grinding noises. And then he saw her, a
00:20:19
human child, female, approximately 8
00:20:23
years old by his estimation, standing on
00:20:25
the playground watching him. She had
00:20:27
pigtails. She was holding a jump rope.
00:20:29
She looked utterly unimpressed. Crixs
00:20:32
raised his weapon, which took both arms
00:20:34
and every ounce of strength his failing
00:20:36
suit could provide. Surrender, human
00:20:39
larva. You are now a prisoner of the
00:20:41
Kronath Dominion. The child tilted her
00:20:43
head, evaluated the struggling alien in
00:20:46
the wheezing mechanical suit, and then
00:20:48
did something that would haunt Cricen's
00:20:50
nightmares for the rest of his life. She
00:20:52
started doing jumping jacks. Up, down,
00:20:55
up, down. her small human body moving
00:20:58
effortlessly in the gravity that was
00:20:59
literally crushing him to death. She
00:21:02
smiled. She was not even breathing hard.
00:21:04
I can do 50 of these. She announced
00:21:06
cheerfully. King you cricks then tried
00:21:09
to take another step forward. His suits
00:21:12
power core hit critical levels, warning
00:21:14
claxons blared in his audio receptors.
00:21:17
Behind him, his squad was a scattered
00:21:19
mess of mechanical failure and
00:21:20
biological defeat. I can also do
00:21:23
cartwheels," the child added, and
00:21:25
proceeded to demonstrate spinning
00:21:27
gracefully through the air while Cric
00:21:28
Fagen could barely lift his weapon. A
00:21:31
teacher emerged from the school, saw the
00:21:33
scene, and calmly pulled out her phone.
00:21:35
"Principal Martinez, yeah, we have some
00:21:38
more of those aliens in the playground.
00:21:40
No, they are not doing well. One of them
00:21:43
is being outperformed by Emma in the
00:21:45
physical fitness challenge. Should I
00:21:46
call animal control or what?" Craigs
00:21:49
suit finally gave up entirely. Every
00:21:51
system shut down simultaneously. He
00:21:54
collapsed forward, faceplanting into the
00:21:56
grass while a group of human children
00:21:58
gathered around to observe the strange
00:22:00
alien who apparently could not do
00:22:02
jumping jacks. "Mr. Alien looks tired,"
00:22:05
one child observed. "My grandma moves
00:22:08
faster than him," another added. "I
00:22:10
think he is broken," Emma said, poking
00:22:12
him with her jump rope. From orbit,
00:22:14
Vextail watched the tactical feed and
00:22:16
felt something inside him break that had
00:22:18
nothing to do with gravity. Recall the
00:22:21
squad," he whispered. "Recall everyone.
00:22:23
Get them out of there before the human
00:22:25
larae start offering them fitness
00:22:26
advice." The second invasion attempt had
00:22:29
lasted exactly 14 minutes. "A new
00:22:32
record, and not the good kind." The
00:22:34
emergency command council convened in
00:22:36
the fleet war room, and the atmosphere
00:22:38
was so tense you could have cut it with
00:22:40
a plasma cutter, assuming you had the
00:22:42
strength to lift one in Earth's
00:22:43
horrifying gravity. Vexter sat at the
00:22:46
head of the table surrounded by his
00:22:48
senior officers, all of whom looked like
00:22:50
they had aged several cycles in the past
00:22:52
rotation. Options, Vexav said flatly. I
00:22:55
want options that do not involve my
00:22:57
troops being humiliated by human
00:22:59
children. Captain Thrrells consulted her
00:23:02
notes, her bioluminescent patches
00:23:04
flickering a sickly yellow. We could
00:23:06
attempt orbital bombardment, sir. Stay
00:23:08
in space. Eliminate the surface threats
00:23:11
from a safe distance. The Galactic
00:23:13
Council strictly forbids orbital
00:23:15
bombardment of inhabited worlds chief
00:23:17
tactical officer Zanpac reminded her. We
00:23:19
would be sanctioned, possibly expelled
00:23:22
from the Dominion. Definitely court
00:23:24
marshaled. We are already going to be
00:23:26
court marshaled for this disaster.
00:23:27
Thrillic muttered. Science officer
00:23:29
Nimara raised a tentacle hesitantly.
00:23:32
Commander, I have been analyzing the
00:23:34
data from both landing attempts and I
00:23:36
believe I have identified the core
00:23:38
issue. Do tell. Vextovorne said, his
00:23:41
tone suggesting that her explanation had
00:23:43
better be spectacular. Sir, humans are
00:23:46
not normal. I know that sounds obvious
00:23:48
given our current situation, but I mean
00:23:50
it in a very specific biological sense.
00:23:53
They evolved under constant crushing
00:23:55
pressure. Every system in their bodies
00:23:57
is overbuilt for survival in extreme
00:23:59
conditions. Their bones are reinforced
00:24:01
with calcium deposits that would be
00:24:03
unnecessary on any reasonable planet.
00:24:05
Their muscles generate force outputs
00:24:07
that seem excessive until you realize
00:24:09
they need that just to walk around.
00:24:11
Their cardiovascular system operates at
00:24:13
pressures that would rupture our
00:24:14
circulatory organs. So you are saying
00:24:17
humans are basically walking tanks.
00:24:19
Kixner said, "I am saying humans are
00:24:21
terrifying and we should leave
00:24:23
immediately." Namara corrected. Sir, I
00:24:26
pulled data from their information
00:24:28
networks. Do you know what humans do for
00:24:30
recreation? They deliberately put
00:24:33
additional weight on their bodies and
00:24:34
lift it repeatedly. They call it
00:24:36
exercise. They pay money to make
00:24:38
themselves work harder against their own
00:24:40
planet's gravity. Some of them even
00:24:42
enjoy it. A horrified silence filled the
00:24:44
room. That is insane, someone whispered.
00:24:47
That is adaptation to a death world.
00:24:50
Namara said, "Earth is classified as a
00:24:52
garden planet in our databases, but that
00:24:54
is catastrophically inaccurate. Earth is
00:24:57
a high-gravity nightmare that happens to
00:24:59
have breathable air and liquid water.
00:25:01
The fact that it produced a space
00:25:02
fairing civilization is frankly absurd.
00:25:05
Vexar drumed his fingers on the table, a
00:25:07
nervous habit he had developed
00:25:09
approximately two days ago. We have 47
00:25:12
warships in orbit. Surely there is some
00:25:14
way to leverage our technological
00:25:16
superiority. With respect, sir, Zenpac
00:25:19
said carefully. Our technological
00:25:21
superiority means nothing if we cannot
00:25:24
actually stand on the planet's surface.
00:25:26
It is like having the finest weapons in
00:25:28
the galaxy and no hands to hold them
00:25:30
with. One more attempt, Vex Dowvor said
00:25:33
suddenly. We make one more landing fully
00:25:35
prepared this time. We use remote drones
00:25:38
for the heavy equipment. We select our
00:25:40
strongest troops and pump them full of
00:25:42
every enhancement drug in the medical
00:25:44
bay. We target a completely isolated
00:25:46
location with no witnesses. If we can
00:25:48
establish even one successful foothold,
00:25:50
we can build from there. The council
00:25:52
exchanged doubtful looks, but no one
00:25:55
wanted to be the officer who suggested
00:25:57
retreat. Not yet. Not when they still
00:25:59
had some shred of military pride left to
00:26:01
salvage. 16 hours later, the third and
00:26:04
final landing attempt began on a remote
00:26:06
island in the South Pacific, a place
00:26:09
called Fiji, which seemed far enough
00:26:11
from major population centers that
00:26:13
maybe, just maybe, they could achieve
00:26:15
something without immediate humiliation.
00:26:17
Assault Commander Grix Thor led this
00:26:19
mission personally. He had been injected
00:26:21
with enough stimulants to kill a smaller
00:26:23
kronath, wore a suit that was more
00:26:25
mechanical than armor, and carried
00:26:27
weapons that had been stripped down to
00:26:28
minimal weight. His squad consisted of
00:26:30
the 12 strongest, toughest, most
00:26:32
physically capable warriors in the
00:26:34
entire fleet. They were going to succeed
00:26:36
if it killed them, which was looking
00:26:38
increasingly likely. The drop pod landed
00:26:40
on a pristine beach at sunset. Grixar
00:26:43
emerged, and for the first 15 seconds,
00:26:46
he allowed himself to feel hope. He was
00:26:48
standing. He was moving. The pain was
00:26:50
extraordinary. His organs felt like they
00:26:53
were trying to exit his body through
00:26:54
unconventional routes. But he was
00:26:56
functional. Secure the perimeter he
00:26:58
ordered. Establish the forward base.
00:27:01
Deploy the sensor equipment. His squad
00:27:03
moved like they were waiting through
00:27:05
syrup. But they moved. They began
00:27:07
setting up the pre-fabricated base
00:27:09
structures. Things were happening.
00:27:11
Progress was being made. And then
00:27:13
Private Dexura made a critical error.
00:27:16
She stepped on a coconut. Her foot
00:27:18
slipped. Her arms windmilled, her center
00:27:20
of gravity shifted. In the 0.9 standard
00:27:23
gravity of her home world, she would
00:27:25
have recovered easily. In Earth's brutal
00:27:27
2.1 time standard, she went down like a
00:27:30
sack of neutroneum, crashed into trooper
00:27:32
Cexfin, who stumbled into Sergeant
00:27:35
Blagsar, who collided with the sensor
00:27:37
equipment, which toppled onto the base
00:27:39
structure, which collapsed on top of
00:27:41
Lieutenant Fexmo. It was like watching
00:27:43
dominoes. If the dominoes were highly
00:27:46
trained alien soldiers and also
00:27:47
completely incompetent within 90 seconds
00:27:50
the entire squad was a tangled heap of
00:27:52
bodies, equipment and shattered dreams.
00:27:55
Helped Grixar wheezed from the bottom of
00:27:57
the pile. Cannot breathe. Thorax is
00:28:00
compressed. Requesting immediate
00:28:02
extraction. Please, I am begging. Sir,
00:28:05
we just landed. Kixner's voice crackled
00:28:07
over the comm. It has been less than 2
00:28:10
minutes. Extract us now or I will die
00:28:13
here and haunt you from the afterlife.
00:28:15
Gretor screamed, his dignity having
00:28:18
evacuated the premises approximately 30
00:28:20
seconds ago. A human tourist couple
00:28:23
having come to Fiji for their honeymoon
00:28:25
wandered onto the beach holding tropical
00:28:27
drinks with little umbrellas. They
00:28:29
stopped. They stared at the pile of
00:28:31
struggling aliens surrounded by sparking
00:28:33
equipment. "Are those the invasion guys
00:28:35
from the news?" the wife asked. "I think
00:28:38
so," the husband replied. They are doing
00:28:40
worse than I expected. Should we help
00:28:42
them? Honey, we are on our honeymoon.
00:28:45
Let the locals deal with the incompetent

00:28:49
struggling Cronath in the background and

posted it to social media with the

goals. Back in orbit, Vexto watched the
00:29:01
mission timer. 2 minutes 47 seconds.
00:29:05
That was how long his final invasion
00:29:07
attempt had lasted. less time than it
00:29:09
took to brew a decent cup of stimulant
00:29:11
beverage. "Pull them out," he said
00:29:13
quietly. "Sir, all of them, every squad,
00:29:17
every soldier, every piece of equipment
00:29:19
that has not already been destroyed or
00:29:21
turned into a viral video. We are done.
00:29:24
Earth wins." I do not know how they won
00:29:26
considering most of them do not even
00:29:28
know we were here. But they won. The
00:29:30
extraction shuttles descended once more,
00:29:33
retrieving Vex towers defeated
00:29:34
exhausted, gravity crushed troops. Many
00:29:37
of them were crying. Several were
00:29:39
praying to various deities. One was
00:29:41
composing a resignation letter to submit
00:29:43
the moment they returned to Kronath
00:29:45
space. On Earth, life continued exactly
00:29:47
as it had before. A few viral videos
00:29:50
circulated of strange aliens who
00:29:52
apparently could not handle normal
00:29:54
gravity. Some governments issued
00:29:56
statements about investigating the
00:29:58
unusual visitors. Most humans went about
00:30:00
their day completely unaware that they
00:30:02
had just won a war without firing a
00:30:04
single shot, throwing a single punch, or
00:30:06
even really noticing there had been a
00:30:08
war to win. Vexttoer slumped in his
00:30:10
command chair and contemplated the ruins
00:30:12
of his military career. 18 conquests. He
00:30:16
had dreamed of a legendary record,
00:30:18
promotion to supreme commander, glory
00:30:21
eternal. Instead, [clears throat] he had
00:30:23
17 successful invasions and one planet
00:30:25
that had defeated him through the simple
00:30:27
act of existing. Vextower sat alone in
00:30:30
his quarters, staring at the blank
00:30:31
holographic display where his official
00:30:33
report to Galactic Command should be
00:30:35
taking shape. Around him, the relentless
00:30:38
conquest hummed with the sounds of a
00:30:40
fleet in retreat, which sounded
00:30:42
suspiciously similar to a fleet in utter
00:30:44
disgrace. He began typing, then deleted
00:30:47
it, typed again, deleted again. How
00:30:50
exactly did one explain this level of
00:30:52
catastrophic failure to the Supreme
00:30:54
Galactic Council without sounding
00:30:56
completely deranged? Finally, he settled
00:30:58
on honesty, that last refuge of the
00:31:01
utterly defeated. Official afteraction
00:31:03
report, Operation Earth Conquest,
00:31:06
Commander Vextower reporting. Executive
00:31:08
summary. We lost. We lost to gravity. I
00:31:12
am aware of how this sounds. I am aware
00:31:14
that I will likely be demoted to
00:31:15
sanitation officer on a waste processing
00:31:18
station. I am submitting this report
00:31:19
anyway because someone needs to warn the
00:31:22
galaxy about what we encountered. He
00:31:24
paused, his three hands trembling
00:31:26
slightly as he continued. Earth is not a
00:31:28
garden world. Earth is not a standard
00:31:30
habitable planet. Earth is a
00:31:32
high-gravity nightmare masquerading as a
00:31:34
peaceful blue sphere. The dominant
00:31:36
species designated as humans are
00:31:38
biological impossibilities who have
00:31:40
somehow survived and thrived under
00:31:42
conditions that reduce Kronath warriors
00:31:44
to whimpering larae. They are strong.
00:31:47
They are durable. They are completely
00:31:49
unaware of how terrifying they actually
00:31:51
are. In the medical bay, chief medical
00:31:53
officer Texrol was treating the 47th
00:31:56
case of gravityinduced spinal
00:31:58
compression. The bay was packed with
00:32:00
injured soldiers, all suffering from
00:32:02
conditions that would have been
00:32:03
hilarious if they were not so painful.
00:32:06
Crushed vertebrae, inverted joints,
00:32:08
muscle tears. something the medical
00:32:10
staff had started calling Earth strike
00:32:12
syndrome characterized by severe
00:32:14
depression and an irrational fear of
00:32:16
children with jump ropes. "How long
00:32:18
until we reach minimum safe distance
00:32:20
from Earth?" one soldier asked, his
00:32:22
voice muffled by the compression
00:32:24
bandages wrapped around his thorax.
00:32:26
Approximately 6 more hours, Tixler
00:32:28
replied, administering pain medication.
00:32:31
"Try to rest. Think about lowgravity
00:32:34
worlds. Pleasant Point6 standard gravity
00:32:36
worlds where your bones do not try to
00:32:38
escape through your feet. I had dreams
00:32:40
about Earth, the soldier whispered.
00:32:42
Nightmares where I was walking through
00:32:44
their cities and human infants were
00:32:45
running circles around me while I could
00:32:47
not even lift my arms. One of them was
00:32:50
eating something called a cheeseburger
00:32:51
while doing back flips. I will never
00:32:54
forget it. Turl patted his shoulder
00:32:56
sympathetically. She had heard
00:32:58
variations of the story from dozens of
00:33:00
troops. Earth had broken something
00:33:02
fundamental in these warriors. Some core
00:33:04
belief that they were the apex predators
00:33:06
of the galaxy. Turns out they were apex
00:33:08
predators only on planets where standing
00:33:10
upright was not an extreme cert.
00:33:12
Vexelvorne continued his report. The
00:33:15
words flowing more easily now that he
00:33:17
had accepted his fate. I am recommending
00:33:19
in the strongest possible terms that
00:33:21
Earth be reclassified immediately.
00:33:24
Suggested designation class 12 death
00:33:26
world gravitational hazard extreme
00:33:29
threat to standard biology. Furthermore,
00:33:32
I recommend a galaxywide exclusion zone.
00:33:34
No Cronath forces should approach
00:33:36
Earth's system under any circumstances.
00:33:38
Let the humans exist in their crushing
00:33:40
gravity prison. Let them continue their
00:33:42
bizarre practices of deliberately making
00:33:45
their already difficult lives harder
00:33:46
through exercise and sports. They have
00:33:48
defeated us without even knowing we were
00:33:50
there. On the bridge, Lieutenant Kixor
00:33:53
was processing the final casualty
00:33:55
reports and trying not to weep openly.
00:33:58
Zero fatalities, thankfully. The Kronoth
00:34:01
might be humiliated, but at least they
00:34:03
were alive. However, the injuries were
00:34:05
extensive. 43% of the ground forces had
00:34:08
stress fractures. 67% had soft tissue
00:34:12
damage. 100% had psychological trauma
00:34:15
that would require cycles of therapy.
00:34:17
Sir, Kixnor said quietly to Thrzic. The
00:34:20
cultural research division has compiled
00:34:22
data on human awareness of our invasion
00:34:25
attempt. Let me guess, Thrillic said
00:34:27
tiredly. They think we were a weather
00:34:29
balloon or something equally ridiculous.
00:34:32
Actually, sir, most humans believe we
00:34:34
were either a poorly organized publicity
00:34:36
stunt, a viral marketing campaign for a
00:34:39
movie, or possibly a very elaborate
00:34:41
prank. There are approximately 17,000
00:34:44
videos of our troops circulating on
00:34:46
their social networks. The most popular
00:34:48
one is titled Aliens Fail at Basic Motor
00:34:51
Functions for 10 Minutes straight. It
00:34:53
has 60 million views. 60 million? Yes,
00:34:57
sir. The comment section is particularly
00:34:59
cruel. There are many references to
00:35:01
something called leg day, which
00:35:03
apparently is a human exercise ritual we
00:35:05
should have practiced. Thrick buried her
00:35:08
face in her hands. Just get us out of
00:35:10
this cursed system. Vextotvour added his
00:35:12
final paragraphs to the report. Each
00:35:15
word a small surrender of his military
00:35:17
pride. In conclusion, Earth represents a
00:35:20
fundamental paradigm shift in our
00:35:22
understanding of habitable worlds and
00:35:23
the species that evolve on them. Humans
00:35:25
are not primitive. They are not weak.
00:35:28
They are survivors of a planet that
00:35:29
constantly tries to crush them. And they
00:35:32
have adapted so thoroughly that they
00:35:33
consider their environment normal. They
00:35:35
look at our inability to function in
00:35:37
their gravity and find it amusing rather
00:35:39
than threatening. We came to conquer. We
00:35:41
left as entertainment. The Kronath
00:35:43
Dominion has been bested by a species
00:35:45
that does not even realize we were
00:35:47
trying. I accept full responsibility for
00:35:49
this failure and await judgment. May the
00:35:52
standards have mercy on us all because
00:35:54
Earth certainly will not. He transmitted
00:35:56
the report, leaned back in his chair,
00:35:58
and closed his eyes. Somewhere on his
00:36:01
home world, military historians were
00:36:03
going to have a field day with this
00:36:04
disaster. His name would become a
00:36:06
cautionary tale. Children would learn
00:36:09
about the commander who lost to gravity
00:36:10
itself. The relentless conquest and its
00:36:13
battered fleet jumped to hyperspace,
00:36:15
limping away from Earth like wounded
00:36:17
animals, fleeing a predator they never
00:36:18
saw coming. Behind them, the blue planet
00:36:21
continued its rotation, utterly
00:36:23
indifferent to the drama that had
00:36:25
unfolded in its gravity well. On Earth,
00:36:27
in 17 different locations, cleanup crews
00:36:30
were collecting the abandoned Cronith
00:36:32
equipment. Most of it would end up in
00:36:34
government research facilities. Some
00:36:36
would be sold on the black market. One
00:36:38
drop pod would eventually become a
00:36:40
tourist attraction in Kansas, complete
00:36:42
with a gift shop that sold t-shirts
00:36:44
reading, "I survived the great alien
00:36:46
invasion of 2025." and all I got was
00:36:49
this lousy shirt and some confused
00:36:50
memories. Emma, the 8-year-old girl from
00:36:53
Montana who had performed jumping jacks
00:36:55
in front of a fully armed alien warrior,
00:36:57
returned to school on Monday and told
00:36:59
her classmates about the weird space
00:37:01
people who could not do gym class. Her
00:37:03
teacher marked her creative writing
00:37:04
assignment as showing excellent
00:37:06
imagination, but perhaps a bit too much
00:37:08
time watching science fiction movies.
00:37:10
The Galactic Council received Vextow's
00:37:12
report 3 weeks later. After an emergency
00:37:15
session lasting 6 hours, they issued a
00:37:17
unanimous decree. Earth was reclassified
00:37:20
as a class 12 death world. A permanent
00:37:22
warning beacon was placed at the edge of
00:37:24
the solar system. The message was
00:37:26
simple. Translated into 473 galactic
00:37:30
languages. Warning, high-gravity world
00:37:33
inhabited by physically superior
00:37:35
species. Approach at own risk.
00:37:37
Seriously, do not attempt invasion
00:37:40
unless you enjoy humiliation. Vextail
00:37:42
was indeed demoted. though mercifully
00:37:44
not to sanitation duty. Instead, he
00:37:47
became an instructor at the Cronin
00:37:49
Military Academy where he taught a new
00:37:51
required course, environmental
00:37:53
assessment and the importance of
00:37:54
accurate planetary surveys. His first
00:37:57
lecture always began the same way.
00:37:59
Class, let me tell you about the time I
00:38:01
tried to invade a planet and got
00:38:03
defeated by physics. And on Earth,
00:38:06
humanity continued doing what it had
00:38:07
always done. walking upright in crushing
00:38:10
gravity, lifting heavy objects for fun,
00:38:13
raising children who could outmaneuver
00:38:15
alien warriors, building civilizations
00:38:17
on a planet that was by galactic
00:38:19
standards actively hostile to life. They
00:38:22
did all of this without even knowing
00:38:23
they were terrifying, which vexed Telar
00:38:26
thoughtly from his teaching podium 17
00:38:28
light years away, somehow made them even
00:38:30
more terrifying. The Kronoth had
00:38:32
conquered 17 worlds, but Earth Earth had
00:38:35
conquered them right back using nothing
00:38:37
more than its own mass and the complete
00:38:39
indifference of its inhabitants. In the
00:38:41
grand calculus of the universe, that was
00:38:43
perhaps the most humiliating defeat of
00:38:45
all. Getting beaten by an enemy who did
00:38:48
not even know there was a

Description:

Aliens Tried to Invade Earth, But Our Gravity Had Other Plans | HFY Story 📖 In This Video: In this epic HFY sci-fi story, a confident alien army launches an invasion of Earth. They prepare their weapons. They march in full armor. They expect humans to panic and surrender. But the moment they land… everything goes wrong. Their armor feels heavier. Their bodies collapse under the pressure. Their legs tremble. Their hearts struggle. Because they didn’t prepare for the real defender of Earth: GRAVITY. While the invaders fall gasping to the ground, humans walk toward them calmly — strong, steady, and completely at home in the crushing weight of their Deathworld environment. The invaders finally realize: Earth doesn’t need to fight back. Earth itself fights for humans. This is one of the purest HFY moments — when the planet proves why humans are built like unstoppable survivors. 🔥 Key Highlights: 👽 Aliens attempt to invade Earth confidently 🌍 Gravity defeats them before humans even lift a hand 😱 Alien troops collapse under Earth’s natural force 💥 Humans show true Deathworld strength 🎧 Cinematic narration with tension + humor ⚡ Classic HFY theme — “Earth is the ultimate weapon.” 💡 Why You Should Watch: If you love Earth-based HFY, invasion stories, and aliens learning fear the hard way, this video will be your favorite.
