The air turned black around Jason as he was jogging down Madison avenue. Never had he ever seen such darkness in New York on a clear sunny day. This led to a premonition that things were about to get grim. He hesitantly turned around to see a dark circular shape slowly covering the sun. At first, Jason thought it was nothing other than an eclipse but the shape started getting bigger. He stopped jogging only to notice that within a few moments, the sun had been entirely covered. The unknown shape was now showing its true form, a gigantic spaceship! A huge circular disc was now hovering above Jason. The sheer enormity of the ship left him awestruck. It reminded Jason of something straight out of a sci-fi movie. He could not comprehend the reality of it. Jasonβs girlfriend Amanda, lived a few blocks north of Madison avenue, where the spaceship seemed to be headed. This gave Jason a sense of urgency and he knew he must hurry to rescue her. A swift gush of wind emerging from the spacecraft made Jason stumble and he realised that the air around the ship was purple in color.
Jason felt a shiver down his spine when he noticed that the purple gas could be harmful and immediately decided to inform his girlfriend. He stopped the music and tried calling Amanda but the phone would not connect. The ship was interfering with mobile reception. Jason started to panic and realised that he had only one option, run north to rescue Amanda. The gas had now started to spread. Jason could see people were shouting and running away from the direction he was headed. As Jason progressed, he came across a man who was just standing still and staring at the ship. βHey man, you ain't gonna make a run for it?β said Jason. The man looked at Jason, opened his mouth and started releasing purple smoke. Jason immediately dived out of his way. He knew that if he inhaled that gas, things would go wrong.
The purple gas released by the alien ship was very corrosive in nature. Jason realised this when he saw the strangerβs skin decomposing. It seemed like the man had lost consciousness and was having extreme seizures. Jason had read about a gas named ASDF-17 at his university but was unaware about the strength of the poison. He could observe that plants had also mutated to become enormous in size and covered with thorns. This freaked Jason out as he could not imagine his family or girlfriend to face such an ordeal. βI must continue up north no matter whatβ, exclaimed Jason. The only thing in Jasonβs mind was that he wanted to save his loved ones and he was willing to sacrifice his life for them. He started sprinting as fast as he could with his face covered by his red scarf.
Jason, to his luck, found an abandoned ambulance and recovered an unharmed oxygen tank and a first aid kit. This motivated him further as he knew that there was a chance for him to evade the purple gas. The whole neighbourhood around Jason started to collapse bit by bit. He could see a few people hiding in their houses, some running for their lives and many of them who had succumbed to the damage done by the poison. Many of the cars and buildings around him were getting corroded. He tried to start the ambulance, but the poison had already played its role. However, the ambulance malfunctioning was not Jasonβs biggest problem. In the distance, he could see all types of mutated animals. The gas had affected all living beings. Jason saw a few monkeys who had developed wings and could not believe his eyes. These monkeys were flying towards Jason and were also throwing scorpions from their mouths. He could notice a few of the scorpions would stick onto people who were trying to run and seemed to possess them.
A full frontal attack had been started by the aliens. He noticed that the ship had started firing huge chunks of rocks towards the earth. These rocks were burning and looked like meteorites. Jason has to evade the projectiles thrown by the enormous spaceship and move on as he is close to reaching his girlfriendβs residence. During the battle, Jason spots some sparks coming from the spaceship. The ship had been consuming a tremendous amount of energy which caused an explosion in the spaceship's energy storage. Unlike any explosion humans could imagine, the ship's dark matter core exploded and formed a wormhole. Jason is immediately sucked through the wormhole and reaches an unstable space. He must navigate to the wormhole entrance again as the unstable space could collapse any moment. Jason panics but manages to make his way out of the wormhole and back to earth. Some glitch happened with the spaceship which has caused this disruption of space and time. Just when Jason thought the spaceship was consumed by the explosion, Jason spots more meteorites heading his way and realises that the aliens used their technology to somehow get the ship back in action.
The aliens had done a lot of damage to New York. However, the wormhole explosion had caused the ship a lot of damage. Jason starts dodging various obstacles on his way to reach his destination. He encounters many corroded cars, spaceship, poison inflicted beings who underwent weird mutations and broken roads which makes it very difficult for him. He tries to scavenge whatever resources he can lay his hands on. He comes across more first aid kits and food items and tries his best to find a working vehicle. It comes to Jason's attention that all he is doing is dodging the spaceship's attack and that it will not be sufficient to defeat the aliens. To his luck, he gets a quick glance on a weapon of some sort and makes a detour to acquire it. He had never seen a weapon of such sort and it seemed to possess very advanced technology. He tried firing the weapon and came to the conclusion that the weapon uses energy and has some fixed amount of ammunition.
Jason needs to evade and defeat the aliens to get his family to safety and possibly save the planet.
