DISCLOSURE & DISCLAIMER: This story is a writing excercise, I have used parts from movies, television and novels to create this tale. I do not intend to make profit off of this work. I am actually paying tribute to all of those magnificant writers out there who have inspired and entertained me through the years. Chapter One: ARRIVAL A mysterious star craft emerged from a dark unexplored region of our own galaxy, it traveled at warp speed as it flew through the airless void of deep space. The ship's navigator and pilot had no set course or chosen destination, the vessel flew aimlessly into the outer reaches of blackened space.
The creepy ship was forty-four meters long, it had no indentifiable markings, the outer hull was black and the craft pulsed with green glowing energy which made the ship look spooky in it's appearance. Inside the vessel it was dark and shadowy but the pilot could see easily without light, he was also beast-like with a thick boney head and dark grey short fur.
This tall being was not an evil monster but merely an explorer who traveled through space to uncharted worlds to collect specimens for organic research. Unfortunately while obtaining a rare animal find, a large savage flesh-eating fly attacked and laid eggs it's eggs in the neck of the bestial being. The larva of the flesh-eating fly crawled under his skin and made their way to his brain causing the being to become paranoid and psychotically violent. The once scientific mind of the tall being was now impulsive and unpredictable, he also developed a thurst for blood and a craving for raw meat. He no longer wanted to digest his vitamin protein pills, nor did he wish to roam space any longer, he wanted to taste meat and drink blood. Therefore he charted a course for the nearest life-sustaining planet, an M Class world where life abounds.........he discovered Earth.
The deranged mind of the parasitic host delighted at our blue and green planet as he manuvered his craft into our atmoshere, he randomly chose where to land his ship. There was a storm raging as the ship passed through the clouds and he marveled at the rough ocean waters of the Pacific. Lightning exploded all around, heavy rain pounded the outer hull of the space craft and there were many islands scattered about. The red glazed eyes of the unknown being with an infested brain scanned the high waved ocean for an island that suited his needs. Or perhaps it was the larva in his brain controlling his thoughts and forcing him to choose what the parasitic majority wanted. Just imagine five tiny larva, each the size of a small rice grain controlling your arms, legs, eyes, mouth and telling you what they want. Because at this moment....they were craving blood and after the long voyage through deep space, it was time to feed.
The rough ocean in the storm created huge waves from the hard blowing wind, the piloted space craft was only cruising twenty meters above the water. Untill A thirty meter tall wave of water crashed into the alien ship and slammed the vessel into the dark deep ocean. The space craft began to fill with water, the engines ceased and the power went out rendering the vessel as a useless dead weight. An emergency exit was utilized and the tall being swam to the surface, then upon reaching it he gasped for air and choked on the splashing wavey water that pushed him around. In a short time he managed to ride the waves while breathing normally, his eyes blinked at a cargo ship that was a few miles away. He grinned because the powerful waves were bringing him to the oceanic craft quickly, soon he would be able to board that ship.
An hour had past and the being reached the rocking vessel, his clawed dark grey hands climbed the thick anchor chain that hung over the side of the ship. He fell into the boat exhausted and hungry, the hard rain pelted his body and the bright lightning made it hard to see clearly. It was then he saw a human tightening ropes on a loose life boat six meters from him, he stared at the soft fleshy being as his growed an eerie red.
Just as the ship's crewman was almost finished covering the life boat, he felt and heard the crunch of a large mouth biting into the top of his shoulder. The poor man died from the shock at seeing the monster that bite into him after he let out a sickening shriek. The victim was a superstitous man who believed the stories his Captain would tell him about a creature from the haunted sea. He was also a poorly educated modern day pirate who traveled with his shipmates plundering and killing in uncharted unprotected waters. His life ends as a half eaten corpse whose remains were casted overboard like a half eaten apple. The alien rinsed the blood off of him with the heavy rain, afterwhich he climbed into the life boat and pulled the canvas over to cover the boat and himself. He laid upon the smooth bottom of the life boat, he was sleepy from feasting on the human and he relaxed until he drifted off into sleep.
His dreams were of his ship silently gliding through the galaxy as he witnessed marvelously colorful nebulas, freakish moons and ghostly looking planets...............

Chapter Two: DEATH SHIP It was a peaceful foggy morning for the crew of the ship named "MARISA" which was cruedely painted to cover it's original name "The ROMONA". Forty years ago this ship was stolen and used by Captain Muutan and his pirate mates, but over the years the ship beacme a rusting hulk of metal and the twin engines both needed serious repair. Thats why Muutan was planning to steel another ship and continue his raids on passager liners until the day he died. The sixty-four year old ship captain was tough as nails, he trusted his men and his crew trusted him in return, they would do anything for their capatain. This bond that they shared was about to be tested to it's breaking point, some of the men noticed a fellow shipmate was missing.
The mysterious space being had been awake for while and was listening to the men speak and trying to figure out what they were saying to one another. He heard them calling out the same word repeatedly, the creature nodded and figured it was the name of the man that he had killed last night. He braced himself as they approached the life boat he was hiding in, but they walked by, stopped moving and spoke to one another. The alien listened as he heard many footsteps walk away into silence, there was nothing else to hear he assumed and removed the canvas covering the life boat and himself. It was early morning, the sun hadn't quite risen yet as the being scanned his red eyes over the ship and at the foggy weather. It was time to consume human meat and drink more blood, he had a toothy grin when he saw a fire axe mounted on the outside of this rusty ship. He snatched it off of the brackets holding the axe, then he crept forward on the foggy white deck of the ship searching for a victim.
He saw a man sitting on an upside-down bucket tuning a guitar and facing the other direction, the being didn't want to kill again...but he had an over-powering urge to do so. The alien's face constricted, but it slowly eased as if being calmed by something, then rasing the axe quickly he brought it down fast and plunged it into the man's back. The tall being knelt down to the dead man to ingest his blood which was gushing out, he gorged on the red life-giving fluid as if dying of thurst. He felt his body surge with new energy again, and that's when he noticed three quiet tough looking men closing in on him slowly and they were all brandishing weapons.
The alien stood up slowly, with his axe still in hand he readied himself for an attack, he watched them all closely to see which one will challenge him first. A man with a knife sliced at the being twice before he was hit in the chest by the axe wielding creature and fell to the side. Another man swung an axe but missed the being, then the man got punched in the face, he was stunned by the blow and was struck by the alien's axe. As the man fell over with a gaping facial wound, the third man bashed the creature's upper arm with a crowbar and as he swung his weapon a second time the being grabbed it with one hand. The creature's other hand that held the axe chopped into the man's stomach causing him to make a choking scream and he dropped to the ship's deck.
The alien jogged along the railing of the ship, but he slowed down to face two more men that were running toward him head-on. But once they saw who was causing trouble aboard the ship they became frightened and turrned back to flee from the dangerous beast. As the being reached the front upper deck of the ship, another pirate charged into him and was amazed at the brute strength of the creature. The mighty creature shoved the man into the side of the hull and chopped into his face, the alien saw that he was still alive and raised his axe to strike again. However a young crewman grabbed hold of the axe and held tight, the alien let go of it then pushed the man overboard to the hungry sharks that were following the ship.
The being's red eyes glowed as he watched the pirate meet his end by being eaten by voracious carnivores of the sea, his moment was interrupted by an axe handle striking him in the back. He turned to the new attacker and was struck in the chest by the axe handle held by an angry man, he cluthed the axe handle and pulled it out of the human's hands. The pirate reached for a knife but was hit by an upper cut of claws slicing into his throat. The human grabbed at his neck and tumble onto the floor of the upper deck, then yet another human raced in and punched the being hard in the face. The alien swung his long axe handle and missed the man several times, but the human slipped and was back-handed by the powerful being. The human rolled on the deck and came to a halt laying motionless, the alien dropped the axe handle as he felt satisfied the human wouldn't get up to attack him.
The corner of his red eyes noticed something moving on the floor below him on the main deck, he turned and saw three men guns and a rifle pointing at him. The alien raised his arm reflexsively as the hot pieces of piercing metal npped into his thick flesh, the projectile weapons annoyed him. The bullets ceased because the men had to now reload, but the being picked up a full barrel of petrol and threw it at the three men below. The humans scattered down below, so the alien decided to chase them, however no one knew that the thrown barrel was leaking fuel onto the deck. The alien jumped down to the main deck, he spun around and clashed with a pirate who was waiting below for him, unfortunately the man was raked across his face by large claws. As the human fell to the deck, he was pounded by thick boney fists and sharp claws, that's when the oder of petrol entered his nostrils.
Suddenly he was knocked forward by a man swinging down and kicking with both feet into the back of the unearthly being, then as he regained his balance the man attacked again. The human hit with a hard right cross into the alien's jaw, but the being continued turning and spun around striking with a solid back-fist to the man's shoulder knocking him into an open doorway. At this point the barrel that was leaking fuel was nearly empty of the petrol that was now covering a good portion of the deck. The being moved quickly away from the floor covered with fuel and ran into a new challenge, it was a man holding a firey torch in one hand and a crowbar in the other. The being dodged the fire wielding crewman as the human tried to burn the beast, then he hit the alien in the ribs with crowbar, but the being grabbed hold of it. The human was then clubbed by a powerful fist rendering him helpless and vulnerable to the ripping claws of the creature. The firey torch was still lit as it laid on the deck, the fuel ignited and fire spred rapidly on the ship, the being saw the danger and thought about the life boat he was in. The alien was about to head for the safty of a detachable boat when he was suddenly covered by a thick fishing net. The being shoved one man overboard and grappled with the other two men, then the ship exploded several times. Everyone was dead but the alien, he lived but his body sustained many injuries, and as he washed ashore an hour later he walked into the thick jungle of an island. The rusty old vessel that was orignally named "The ROMONA" finally came to rest in a shallow water grave just off the coast of an island where the alien came ashore.....

Chapter Three: The MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL The being from an unknown part of our galaxy made his way into the thick green jungle, he was in pain from the battle with the men and from burns to his body when the ship exploded. The beautiful lush environment did little to comfort the suffering alien whose body was nearly roasted by fire when he was aboard the doomed pirate vessel. The alien's mind was a little clearer because almost all of the mind-controlling larva had died from the being sustaining multiple head injuries. He knew his body needed medical attention, he had to find someone who could help him to recover, and he was hoping to find someone soon. Weak and exhausted he collapsed in a shallow cool watered brook, his red eyes stared upward at the trees, and he quietly fell into a deep slumber.
Hours later after he awoke and found himself strapped down on a comfortable table, looking around he noticed he was in some kind of crude laboratory in a cave. He was also aware that someone had cleaned his body and treated his wounds, the alien felt no pain but he could hear faint voices in his head. Then he remembered the mind-controling parasitic larva in his head, a damned giant flesh fly laid it's eggs in his neck. The being began to be afraid for his life, because one day those rice sized parasites crawling in his brain will be a meter in length and savagely carnivorious. Suddenly he heard faint echos of laughter in his mind, it was the larva, they could hear his thoughts and delighted in his mental anguish. The being was about to cry when a man walking with a cane and wearing an eye patch entered the room, the human seemed calm and friendly. The man tried to communicate with the being, but the alien shook his head and shrugged, the human smiled and understood that the alien could not interpit what he was saying. He man then used basic gestures as sign language until finally he made progress with the alien, the being was able to relate to the man that there was something bad in his head. The human wearing the eye patch nodded with a smile because he understood that the being wanted the man to help him. The alien relaxed, smiled and closed his eyes, the being could hear the panicky sounding voices of the larva.
The outwolder awoke eight hours later, he felt blissful because the doctor had given him a happy pain-killer drug, he licked his lips and turned his head to the right. He chuckled because he beheld five glass test tubes each contained a flesh fly larva, three were dead and two were swimming around in fluid. He began to laugh softly to himself and stared at the rocky ceiling of the lab. He doctor who he made friends with had walked up to him, the human picked up a clipboard made some notes, the alien watched the man peacefully. The doctor finished his notations and grabbed a small bottle, he filled a syringe with the liquid from the bottle, then injected it into the being. The alien felt a sudden increased blissful feeling, the doctor wearing the eye patch began to laugh, the alien joined him. The being felt very sleepy, he welcomed more rest and eased back into a deep sleep..........
.........the outworlder awoke feeling very tired like he slept too long, he had an overwhelming feeling that something wasn't right, looking down at himself he noticed he was dressed in human clothes. The straps were still holding him to the padded table, his bandages were off, but he wondered why he had on a blue shirt and brown pants. His head ached as he scanned the room, he became startled when he heard screaming off in the distance, then there was silence, he continued to listen. The doctor entered the room, his white smock was splattered with blood, the alien watched the man pick up a knife, the human noticed the being awake. The doctor seemed annoyed and gave the outworlder another shot of strong blissful pain-killer, the being felt a fantastic exhilerating rush, then pased out again..........
........the alien opened his red eyes and witnessed the doctor preforming diabolical surgury on a freakish monster, the outworlder was shocked at the sight of the living nightmare on the other side of the room, it too was strapped down. The doctor finished his work on the hideous looking thing, he noticed the alien was watching and approached the being with another filled syringe. The alien felt afraid of the doctor but could do nothing but cringe when the needle plunged into a blood vein, thus sending the outworlder back into slumber.........
...........it was sickening unspeakable horror that the alien beheld and experianced........he was staring at his own headless body two meters from him.....and off to his left the doctor was butchering someone for fun. The screams of the alien, angered the sadistic man. The doctor pulled out a gun and shot the tortured victim until he was dead, the mad surgen looked at the sad faced outworlder. The doctor picked up a small bottle, opened a cabinet and pulled out a new syringe that was still in it's box. The being did not want to sleep any more, his powerful unearthly brain willed his headless body to break free of the straps that held it down. The doctor was frozen in unbelief as the alien's arms broke loose of the leather straps and began to unbuckle himself free. The mad doctor ran to the headless alien body and tried to prevent it from getting off of the table, but was pushed away roughly. The surgen crashed into his electronic equipment and was dazed, the human's one good eye focused on the feet of the being standing in front of him. The doctor looked up at the creature's body in fright, then the man was struck twice by the alien's claws which ripped up his face. The screaming doctor tried to crawl away but the headless body of the alien had picked up a heavy part of the control panel and used it to crush the skull of the mad surgen.
The outworlder continued to use his powerful mind to control his body, after he had freed his head from a life sustaining device he then placed his head on his open neck. His head reattached itself back to his body and the unearthly being walked over to a mirror, he gazed in sadness at his heavily scarred by fire face. His once grey-silver colored features now had the appearance of scorched red and blacken meat. He snarled in anger, then took his flustrations out on the mind-controling one inch long flesh fly larva. He put one of the two living fly larva in boiling water, and the other he held with tweezers and snipped it into tiny pieces with sharp surgical scissors. He delighted that the larva he was cutting up stayed alive thrashing about for nearly a minute, afterwhich the alien left the laboratory.
He quickly made his way through an underground tunnel in the hopes that it would lead him back outside into the jungle. But when he reached an opening on the right side of the tunnel he stepped into another laboratory. His red eyes spotted the weird creature that he had seen earlier, the poor misshapen thing laid on a table strapped down, and unconscious. He felt pity for the unfortunate creature who had been surgically altered to look like a demonic nightmare. The scorched alien formulated an idea to take the hideous being with him, perhaps another scientist can help them to be normal again.
The being from another world began to undo the heavy thick leather belts which held the huge freakish cthulhu-like monster down.

Chapter Four: SHARK'S TREASURE The fire scarred and stranded stranger from an unknown galaxy had just escaped the clutches of a mad scientist who wanted to do insane experiments on the star being. The outworlder wanted to help someone else who was a victim of the psychotic surgen. He looked upon the poor unfortunate being who has now become a living nightmare in stitches by the hand of the one-eyed doctor. He held back his tears while undoing the thick leather belts that held the giant unconscious monstrosity to a large metal table. Moments after the hideous victim was free, his eyes opened and looked at the alien and remembered him, he reached out his hand to the outworlder. His big misshapen hand was accepted by both hands of the alien's, but unfortunately .........the surgically altered victim died on the table. The outworlder could do nothing but feel pity for the misfortunate person that laid on the metal table, and he hoped he had given the surgical creature peace in his final moments of life.
The alien gave the dead being his dignity by cremating him, the outworlder made sure the fire would also destroy the doctor's laboratory of evil. The cave was quickly becoming as hot as an oven so the alien turned around then ran out of the tunnel of rock and into the bright green jungle. The outworlder heard two loud explosions behind him as he exited the cave, and he saw a ship off-shore that had discovered his sunken space craft, it was being hoisted out of the water. His mind raced about thoughts of swimming to the crab fishing vessel to recover his star ship, and hopefully convince the humans aboard peacefully of his motives. The alien stared at the crab boat.........he didn't notice the man creeping up behind him, but the alien did feel the back of his head being struck by a metal club which caused him to become unconscious.
When the outworlder became semi-conscious his red eyes affixed on a bearded human pointing a gun at him......the man spoke words he didn't understand...........he had no idea that this was Captain Muutan of the wrecked ship "MARISA". The pirate captain became impatient with his fire-scarred captive, believing in his mind that his tied prisoner was pretending he didn't understand what he was saying. He held up an old map and showed it to the alien, the outworlder shook his head, the bearded pirate lost his temper, grabbed a tree branch and began beating the the helpless alien. The outworlder could not stand being struck on his sensetive flesh and screamed in a monsterous raging sound, he made the human move away from him. The alien summoned all of his strength and broke free from his bonds, the display of anger frightened the man, the pirate raced to his beached vessel.
The now free alien noticed his utility belt had washed ashore, he quickly recovered it and switched it on, then the being turned to face his enemy who was looking back at him from the deck of the ship. Muutan the pirate captain's blood ran cold as he heard the loud clear voice of the man who looks like a beast-monster....alien shouted at the human: "YOUR WORLD IS FILLED WITH MADNESS AND MAD-MEN.......NONE OF YOU HAVE SOULS! YOU'RE ALL NOTHING BUT MONSTERS! I'VE ENCOUNTERED NOTHING BUT HATE AND EVIL SINCE I HAVE ARRIVED HERE. EVEN NOW MY SHIP IS BEING STOLEN BY YOUR KIND...LOOK OUT THERE..."
Muutan looked where the alien was pointing: "That is your...ship...you're...from...space?" The pirate pointed up at the sky.
alien: "Yes I was forced to come here and I crashed over there. Now you animals think you can learn something from my techology? Never! I am activating my ship using my belt, now my ship will destroy itself along with five hundred square miles surrounding it."
Captain Muutan: "Your saying, that you're going to destroy everything here?"
alien: "My ship will explode like a mighty bomb killing me as well, I would rather die than be stranded on your insane planet."
Captain Muutan begged: "Please sir, I don't want to be killed by a bomb, don't kill me too!"
alien: "Don't worry, you will be the only one who will be spared from the explosion!"
Captain Muutan was overjoyed: "OH thank you sir heh heh thank you thank you heh heh. Thank you for not killing Muutan heh heh heh."
alien: "I'm going to kill you with my hands before my ship explodes!"
Muutan looked panicky: "NO NO NO!" He ran inside his wrecked vessel.The alien from an unknown world beyond our Earth raced toward the beached ship named "MARISA", he scaled the side and climbed onto the deck of the wrecked vessel. The being made his way inside the ship and found the room where Muutan was hiding in, he could hear the pirate breathing. The outworlder didn't relish the moment as he punched a large hole in the door with his powerful fist, he stared at the squirming human from the smashed opening. Then he reached in and grabbed Muutan by his messy haired head and pulled him through the jagged opening. The alien was about to shove his other clawed hand into Muutan's eyes, but stopped when the pirate pleaded fro his life.Muutan: "NO! WAIT WAIT, I'LL SHARE MY TREASURE WITH YOU! We could find it together and I'll give you half, you'd be rich as a king! See-see, look at this map I have here, it's a famous map showing where the "Shark's Treasure" is! What do you say, huh? We split it fifty-fifty, eh? Sound good?"
alien: "Shark's Treasure? Who is Shark?"
Muutan: "No-no, a shark is a big animal that swims in the water and eats fish. It's really big and is very hungry all the time, it just eats and eats, even people heh heh."
alien: "I've seen sharks..."
Muutan had a big smile: "Then we're friends and we help each other to find "Shark's Treasure" huh? Yes?"
alien grabbed hold of the pirate and dragged him back onto the ship's deck: "I'll help you find sharks...."
Muutan became afraid: "What are you doing, the map is real, it's a real map I swear!"
alien spoke without any emotion: "I don't care..."The outworlder had a cold look upon his face when he ripped the arms off of the pirate and threw the screaming human into the water just off of the bow of the ship. In no time at all dark grey tiger sharks swam to the bloodied and thrashing body of the shrieking captain. The outworlder watched as the pirate was torn to bits, then the alien turned his attention to the crab-fishing vessel that had hoisted his space ship from the sea. The weary space traveler took a deep breath, exhaled and relaxed as he reached for the detonation button on his utility belt. the end
