Issue #1 – Sci-Fi Thrills Beyond Imagination!

Story #1: "Invasion from Planet X!"

Chapter 1: The Signal from the Void

The stars hung motionless outside the viewport of the Stellar Phoenix, a sleek intergalactic cruiser slicing through the Nebula-9 sector. Captain Rex Solar, Earth’s greatest space adventurer, leaned back in the pilot’s chair, boots propped up on the control panel, a half-eaten Astro-Ration Bar in hand.

“Stella, remind me why we’re flying into a dead zone instead of sitting on a beach back on Jupiter-6?” Rex muttered, chewing lazily.

Dr. Stella Orion, astrophysicist and part-time space troublemaker, shot him a glare. “Because, Captain, we intercepted a distress signal from a planet that doesn’t exist on any star charts. You think I’m going to ignore the scientific find of the century?”

Rex sighed. “I was really looking forward to not being vaporized this week.”

Before Stella could reply, a shrill alarm blared across the cockpit.

“Unidentified object approaching at hyperspeed,” the ship’s AI, S.A.M., announced in its usual smug monotone.

Rex sat up, scanning the monitors. “We’ve got a bogey, closing fast!”

A green, pulsating sphere materialized in the void ahead, crackling with energy. Suddenly, a gravelly voice boomed over the comms:

“ATTENTION, EARTHLINGS! YOU HAVE ENTERED THE DOMAIN OF XYLOG THE CONQUEROR! SURRENDER OR BE ANNIHILATED!”

Rex smirked. “Well, at least he’s polite.”

Stella’s eyes widened. “Rex, that’s not just a ship. It’s a planetary war fortress. That’s—”

Before she could finish, the Stellar Phoenix was caught in a tractor beam, yanking them towards the impossible planet lurking in the darkness—Planet X.

Chapter 2: Xylog the Conqueror

The two were dragged from their ship and brought into a colossal throne room, where a towering figure loomed before them. Xylog the Conqueror—a hulking, tentacled monstrosity with a single, glowing red eye—sat atop a throne carved from the skulls of fallen civilizations.

His voice oozed menace. “Foolish Earthlings. You have trespassed into my domain. You shall serve as my first test subjects before I unleash my doomsday beam upon your feeble planet!”

Rex leaned toward Stella. “I don’t like the word ‘test subjects.’”

Stella glared at Xylog. “You can’t just destroy Earth!”

Xylog chuckled, the sound reverberating through the chamber. “Your pathetic species has meddled in the cosmos for too long. The time has come for Planet X to rise!”

He gestured to a massive control panel, where alien scientists were preparing a planet-sized energy cannon aimed directly at Earth.

Stella gasped. “That’s… that’s enough power to obliterate an entire solar system!”

Rex sighed. “And I just paid off my space mortgage.”

Xylog sneered. “Enough talk! Guards—take them to the Mutation Chamber!”

As four hulking alien warriors approached, Rex turned to Stella. “On three, we—”

“Run?”

“No. We punch them in their disgusting tentacle faces.”

The guards lunged.

Rex threw a devastating right hook, sending one guard crashing into the control panel. Sparks erupted, alarms blared, and the energy cannon started overloading.

“Oops,” Rex muttered.

Xylog’s eye flared with rage. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!”

Stella grabbed Rex’s arm. “We just started a countdown!”

Rex grinned. “Well, now we really gotta run.”

Cliffhanger Ending: To Be Continued…!

Will Rex and Stella escape Planet X?
Can they stop the doomsday cannon before it obliterates Earth?
What terrifying secrets does Xylog still hide?
