Strangers of the Dragon

A haunting rescue-op of rainy dark NYC during a 'dragon-alien' invasion being (hopefully!) thwarted by a space-warrior unit ('Red-Mask').

A fanfiction of Cloverfield, featuring the Xenomorph and inspired also by Saber-Rider storyboards!

On a rainy night in NYC, a space-portal opened up and allowed a terrifying alien intelligence, a black dragon known as a 'Xenomorph' (from a faraway galaxy), to hone in on the digital/media/tech 'noise' emanating from Earth-civilization.

The portal was open long enough for this invading alien-dragon with razor-claws and reactive/acidic saliva to prowl around NYC using an invisibility cloaking power/magic to create panic and eerie sounds and bloody murder without being detected, to preempt its overall grand vision/scheme of civilization terror/parasitism in the post-9/11 era of traffic woes/fears. The portal however was open long enough to allow an elite trio of 'space-warriors' known as Red-Mask, composed of special 'faerie-warriors' who'd tracked the Xenomorph-dragon creature across the known universe!

RED-MASK: This dragon-alien resembles something out of a horror-pic; its eerie alien figure will shock humans into stasis.

The space-warriors known as Red-Mask were composed of numerous male/female space-laser pilots and swordsmen/women and fighters from the 'dark-side' of the imagination and they'd tracked this Xenomorph-dragon and sent three of its units to prowl around NYC in the rain that night in search of signs of the invisibility-cloaked dragon-alien.

RED-MASK: We'll first integrate into NY-society as a group of visiting photojournalists seeking a 'fantastic' Bugle news-fable.

Meanwhile, the Xenomorph-dragon creature, with its eerie reptilian tail and claws and acidic/explosive saliva, began hopping onto passing NYC cars in the rainy-night to send its prologue 'dark-message' about the oncoming Rapture of disastrously vain proportions for Earth-civilization, having no clue that Red-Mask was already 'hot' on its evil trail(s).

RED-MASK: We'll put together 'acid-guns' using toy water-rifles and homemade 'hot' acid to pierce the reactive dragon-alien!

THE POST (Newswire): It seemed this 'invisible' dragon (alien?) was lurking and linked to bloody murders, but a masked 'vigilante' force of perhaps undercover police-supertroops stormed in with what seemed to be smoking 'acid-guns' and impaired the invisibly mobile dragon 'being' into a state of complete paralysis.

RED-MASK: Our vigilante 'get-ups' will help us 'prowl' around NYC without being 'tagged' by pedestrians/newsmen as army!

The valiant space-warrior humanoid trio (Red-Mask) tracked the dragon-alien through the night with their acid-gun and followed it to JFK (Airport!) where it chased it into the underground tunnels and cornered it in a waste-ditch hole and incinerated it to paralysis, saving humanity from an engagement with evil/chaos!

RED-MASK: With the dragon-alien sent to oblivion, Earth's restored ('normal' humility); we'll depart to reunite with comrades.

The valiant 'force' of Red-Mask left-behind with the NY Mayor a sharp and haunting black-faerie figurine/sculpture to remind the good Earth-folk of the Big Apple (city) that no force of undesirable/uninvited wrath shall prevail over the spirit/yearning to transcend darkness with prayers of design.

NY-MAYOR: This city's been through much; we've seen prayers-answered with the demise of the mysterious alien; we'll miss the mysterious heroes who promptly vanished after rescuing fair New York from a disaster (arguably) 'theatrically' worse than 9/11 or the Coronavirus tribulation(s)!
