Skeleton Wars
be absorbed in thoughts, as they tried to
integrate his message. “Dear colleagues, if we want to rebuild our
planet, we must start with earth. We must first go back to earth
and rescue the human race. It is then that we shall be able to
reunite when we come back to Ghostia. It seems to be suicidal but
we have no choice. If they conquer earth, they will use it as a
base to destabilize us here. Therefore, we need some of you to join
us in this counterattack. Others should remain here and guard our
planet such that no one robs us of our success again.”
    All the warriors voluntarily crossed to the
side of the Ghoes and were willing to escort them to earth even
though it meant fighting their colleagues. They moved straight to
the underground facility and pulled out all the weapons and
aircraft that had been reserved for their force. They were joined
by more ghosts from the general populace, especially those who were
former soldiers on earth. Among the volunteers, came the skeleton
of Dr. Christine. After being shot to death by her husband, her
soul had travelled back to Arcacidia and was dressed in a new
skeleton. Lord Ghost did not bother following to re-arrest her
because he had no time for that. This scientist was ready to go and
help with the destruction of the Chemical and Biological weapons
which Lord Ghost had carried to earth.
    They first marked all their aircraft with
white stripes before leaving for earth in order to distinguish them
from Lord Ghost’s fleet. The aircraft ascended into the skies
amidst cheers from the ordinary ghosts who were watching from the
Ruthst Square. The Ghoes were doing everything in a hurry because
for every minute they delayed, dozens of humans were being killed
by Lord Ghost’s team. Even the plan which they were to follow on
their mission was discussed by the team en route!
    As soon as they entered the solar system the
skeletons on earth noticed them. At that time Lord Ghost was in the
laboratory supervising the progress of his scientists, but he was
hurriedly called back to the Pentagon’s war rooms. “It’s a coup,””
he shouted when he saw the fleet of what resembled their aircraft
on the computer screens.
    “Shoot them down before they reach low earth
orbit,” he ordered.
    However, Gen. Cov also knew that they were
being observed because he was the one who had designed the war plan
they were following. He thus ordered two aircraft to fire
air-to-air missiles at the International Space Station, which was
the main computer control center of Lord Ghost’s team. By the time
the skeletons on earth orientated their three space based killer
satellites to start shooting down the invading aircraft with laser
beams, the two missiles had already passed their position. They
were able to shoot the station and it exploded at once. Even the
twenty computer specialists on board perished.
    The loss of the station disrupted the
communication systems of the ghosts on earth. They had to shift to
other satellites more so those they had launched themselves. Gen.
Cov also ordered the computer specialists of the invading army to
hack into these satellites and take full control over them. This
resulted into an intensive Cyber-attack from both sides. To weaken
them more, Gen. Cov ordered his pilots to shoot down five of the
seven miniaturized satellites that belonged to Lord Ghost’s team
before they entered into the US airspace.
     
    Due to the great pressure that had started
mounting on their side, Lord Ghost ordered for the launching of the
ICBMs against humans, in order to deter Gen. Cov's group from
advancing further for fear of hurting more humans.The first to be
launched travelled hypersonically at Mach 40 and hit Ottawa the
capital of Canada. Its killer prowess was not in the powerful
explosion nor the great structural damage that resulted because
these were minimal. It was the gaseous mixture of poisonous
chemicals and biological pathogens that came from it which were the
most deadly. The
