***This story is nothing like A Story of a Grunt, so please take that into consideration because I have canceled A Story of a Grunt unless 10 people or more wish it (A Story of a Grunt) to continue. If you do, post or email me. You all have 3 weeks to get 10 people.

HAKARA Planet. Yudl (translated May) 2290 A.D.
Unwee moved quietly through the lush, green forest in search of his prey, a geenor. The geenor had been eluding Unwee for some time now. Unwee was getting annoyed but had enjoyed it because of the challenge...at first.
Unwee stood about five feet tall and was somewhat thin. He held a laser rifle hunting the geenor. He had shot at the prey multiple times earlier, but he knew he had shot it because there was yellow blood on the ground next to some mashed up leaves.
A bush was rustling about twelve feet in front of where Unwee was standing. He went over to it, laser rifle, ready to fire, pointed at the bush, and he parted it. He saw a ripple that was about three feet taller than him moving just inches from his body. He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them, the thing that was in front of him had obviously moved.
He looked around, ever alert. He started to step backward very slowly. He turned around and started to walk normally but looked around his shoulder to see if the thing was following him. Unwee wasn't going to take his chances. He didn't care about his prey as long as he was alive.
He finally exited the forest and saw his village. He heard a crunch behind him and looked back. The blur was there again, it had stepped on a twig. He started to run toward the village and didn't look back at all. Unwee didn't care what that thing was, as long as it didn't harm him or any other Hakarans.
The village was relatively big that was surrounded by a wall made from the same metal as their laser weapons. It could not be penetrated by anything they knew of. Although it was considered a small village by the Hakarans, it had a total of 62,000 people in it.
"Open the gate," he said to the gate guard.
"Welcome back! Proceed Unwee," said the guard as he opened the gate. Other guards were posted at the gate but were usually asleep, due to the boredom.
Unwee trotted toward his house that was on the outskirts of the village but was still inside the walls. He didn't like to go to the village but he did if he needed supplies for his hunts, but he did have few friends. That was pretty much the only reason he ever went to the village. He finally got home, made from wood from his forest, and went inside.
"Ahhh! Home at last," he said to himself.
He put his rifle on the wall along with his other rifles. This one was the smallest he had since he was hunting small prey that day. He usually hunted for considerably larger prey but he had learned all their tricks so he got bored with them.
Unwee went to his room and got into his bed. He dosed off 15 minutes after he got into bed.
HAKARA Planet. Bquartl (July) 2290 A.D.
Unwee never witnessed another blur, and he was glad he didn't. That thing scared the poo out of him. He never wanted to see it again, so he stayed out of the forest and any where near it. If he ever saw it again, he made sure he was going to shoot it.
On this day, which happens once a month, he goes to the Church of Minesh (Church of God, to them). He walked through the town and up the church stairs. He sat in his usual seat, the back, and was waiting to listen to what the minister was going to say. Unwee usually saw the minister up talking with the other people in the church, but he wasn't here today, and he never made an announcement to the people that he wasn't going to be here today.
"Must be out sick today," he thought.
Just then, a figure walked out of the room beside the podium where the minister enters. It was nothing like the people in the church or any where else on Hakara. The Hakarans in the church stopped talking and looked up at this creature in awe. It was much taller that them, and it sat on a chair that hovered. It had some sort of "crown" on it's head and wore red robes. It's head had some sort of symbol on it.
"We are the Covenant. Do not resist us or oppose us in any way and no one will get hurt. I am a Prophet," he said.
When he said that two aliens that looked nothing like him came out of the same door. They took up the Prophet's two sides and held a gun pointed at the crowd.
"You have 3 days to decide. We will be back by then. Oh, and this church will be destroyed so I suggest you get away."
The church started to rumble and Unwee looked out the window to see some sort of large, purple ship appear. The Prophet and it's two body guards walked out the church and got inside the ship. Unwee ran out the church after them and went strait home. The others in the church did the same.
Unwee looked back after he was about one mile away from the church and he saw a flash of lightning that hit the ground where the church had laid. Unwee knew none of the Hakarans would ever be a "Covenant". He at least knew he wasn't going to be.
He decided that before they came back, he would get his friends armed with their rifles and fire at this "Prophet" to try to kill it and it's body guards. He knew that that would envoke a war but they are the ones who started it. After he succesfully kills this creature he will go to other villages and cities and tell them of this threat, if they haven't already visited them, he thought.
THREE DAYS LATER
Unwee got into a building with five of his friends at a nearby structure. He had his largest caliber rifle he and his friends had. His plan was that they will wait for the other ship to leave, just in case it could annialate every one there, and then start to fire at the Prophet and his guards when they were sitting ducks.
Other Hakarans were waiting in other structures in adjacent buildings with the same plans. Unwee saw a purple dot in the sky and he readied his rifle. The Prophet walked out but his bodyguards were no where in sight.
He held up his that signaled when to fire. His friends shouldered their rifles and got ready to aim. He threw down his hand and they started to fire at the Prophet...
