## Plot

A special One Shot that acts as a preview/introduction to the Sapphire Foxx Comic Series "Crossfire" Set in the alternate universe (Crossfire Universe) but not cannon to the main SF Universe. In this time line Earth has been left desolate from War hundreds of years prior and Humanity is now a set of colonies known as the Sol Federation and is a Partnered Member of an intergalactic government known as the Galactic Union (GU) but the Union has faced multiple set backs of its own and is currently locked in a war with an Extra Galactic species known as the Harvengers. The Sol Federation colonies and states remain far from the front lines (See Timelines)

October 4011 (human calendar) on the human colony world known as Odyssey just outside its capitol city of Athena two colonists are walking through the freshly terraformed forest. The two of them are Marco, a young man who has spent most of his life moving around from planet to planet because of his parents work with colonization projects and Vanessa who is much less traveled but has been on Odyssey for a while. The two walk though the forest admiring the terraforming work and arrive a hillside overlooking the capitol city. The two talk a bit about their past experiences as colonists mentioning the Galactic Union and how the Great War with the Harvengers they are currently facing has really disrupted things but they are luckily a long ways from the frontlines. Marco mentions how he's never been to Earth but has visited Mars. Its mentioned how Earth was supposed to begin terraforming efforts to make the planet habitable again but those efforts have been halted due to the war. Marco wants to try and settle down now that he's grown up and doesn't have to follow his parents around the galaxy for work but Vanessa likes the idea of traveling to a lot of other planets within the Galactic Union. After they both discuss their ambitions for a bit they begin to make out in the sunset overlooking the city. However the bushes nearby seem to rustle and move suggesting something is watching them. A moment later Vanessa gets a call from her father and she leaves Marco for a moment to take it. Marco is left looking over the city from the hill when he hears the rustling behind him. At first he assumes its just a harmless animal but after a moment a large blob like creature emerges from the trees and attacks him. It reshapes its pink slimy body to bind his hand and legs and extends one string of itself down his throat muffling is screams and binding him down. Marco struggles but the creature is too strong and he can feels it extending itself further down his throat. As it swirls itself around his lower body it seems to cause his arms to get skinnier and his stomach to thin out. After a moment the creature reshapes a part of itself into a female looking hand. Marco still struggles but the creature is too strong and he begins to feel the hand rubbing his hips in a very enjoyable way. The Creature begins to pull Marco's pants off and rubs the hand on his butt causing it to grow bustier. As this happens Marco hears a voice in his head speaking the word "Relax" which seem to be coming from the creature. He tries to focus his mind and talk to it saying he doesn't want this and for it to let him go. At that point Vanessa returns looking for Marco but he is hidden in the brush and is too restrained by the creature to move or call out. The creature continues to change Marco and alter itself. It forms a second Hand like appendance and unzips Marco's shirt to rub his chest saying the word "Change". Marco feels a sense of pleasure from the transformation as he grows a pair of breasts. The creature then shifts its slimy body to look like a human woman with no hair and moves some of its form to alter Marco's genitals. Despite his resistance Marco feels a great deal of pleasure from the sensations and begins to stop trying to fight it. Vanessa gets worried and yells out that she's going for help after she's unable to find Marco on her own. Marco's hair grows longer and his mind seems to cloud over with the pleasure he (now she) feels from the transformation the creature has just caused. The Creature has formed almost entirely into a human female shape at this point and retracts the string of itself it had down Marco's throat. As the creature fully removes itself from Marco a strange purple fluid is seen in his mouth as it seems to kiss him and says the word "Evolve". Marco then passes out and the process seems to be complete.

A short time later, as its gotten dark, Vanessa and some policemen in full gear arrive at the scene looking for Marco. All they find however is a woman they do not recognize unconscious near where he disappeared. As the group calls for medical help the bushes all around them all begin to rustle and the officers ready their weapons. A second later more of the creatures emerge and swarm the group. The scene pans to the now female Marco nearby as the shadows and screams of the group in the background show them all being swarmed and overcome by the creatures the same way Marco had been earlier. Marco then begins to stir awake and her eyes are shown to now be a dull shade of pink identical to the color of the creatures. She begins to wake up but seems indifferent to the screams heard around her.

To Be Continued in "Crossfire"

## Trivia

* While discussing the terraformed forest Vanessa says how it was modeled after the forests of Canada but she pronounces it "Ka - Nay - Da" showing how certain parts of human language have changed over the centuries.
