The year is 2004, and we look at the beautiful (in some peoples' opinions) city of New York. Called by many to be Earth's capital, as the United Nations meet there. The nickname is, however, more accurate than people have yet to realize...
A young man on a bicycle was turning the corner on Lexington Avenue when there was bright blue flash and he crashed into what he thought was a big bulky man. However, when the man got up to appologize and put his glasses back on, he saw it was not a bulky man, nor even a man at all! He'd crashed into a six foot tall green-skinned creature with large teeth and tiny ears! The creature was wearing the kind of outfit a peseant from the Middle Ages would where, and was branishing a large axe. The man's word was, "wha-!" as the creature gored him with the tip of his weapon. A moment later, another twenty or thirty of the creatures appeared on the same corner, also armed with axes, as well as two-handed swords and war hammers. They quickly set to work attacking people on the streets. People ran in panic and fear, and police tried to set up a barricade, but the creatures weren't being slowed down or stopped unless the bullets from the policemen's guns sturck them in the head. The creatures were winning the battle, and five more appeared every minute on the same corner.

About 2 or three blocks away from the scene, a youngster in a black trench coat stood there on the side walk, watching police cars zoom by. Her curiousity crept up on her as she looked on, and dashed in the direction where the cars were headed. Her back pack made various slushing and clinking sounds as she moved towards the scene.
Upon arrival, she stood a few feet behind what was left of the police barricade and stared in complete wonder and shock.
'Holy nuts...' she thought to herself. She backed away further from the scene in hopes of not being seen by these gargantuan beasts... she didn't know if she could even handle them... she saw how much trouble the police were having trying to keep these things back. She looked around and noticed a nearby Firearms store...though it didn't interest her...she wanted to burn things.
She smirked and whispered, "This ought to be fun... their clothes look quite flammable too."
She pulled out a bottle of hairspray and a lighter and began to shake the container contently. She flicked her lighter a few times before finially getting it to light up.
"Time to burn these ugly bastards to hell..."
She sprayed hairspray into the small flame once, causing a large ammount of fire to "woof" up and disappear. She then walked towards the barricade to try to face one of these beasts her self. She easily sliped past the policeman, since they all were busy trying to fend off these things. A scream to her right catches her attention, which was from an injured police man that was about to be crushed by one of these green skinned things. This was wonderful for her...the beast was wide open, just begging to be burned.
She snuck up on the beast, then blasted its clothes with a dose of hot flames. The Beasts clothes erupted into flames, causing it to panic and run about like a chicken without a head. The police man managed to skirry off to safety, while Adrienne dashed away from the burning creature to avoid being caugt on fire as well.... she then pulled out one of her bottles of gas and began spraying it as she ran about the scene in random directions. She ducks into a nearby alley way and pulls out a match.
"Let's show them a good time now eh?" She kisses the match, then strikes it on the cement floor and tosses it out into a line of gas she had left while running....

The match hit the gasoline and a large flame erupted along the ground. Lots of the greenskins burst into flames, but the corner where they came from was unaffected, as not all the gasoline lit. It was just a temporary shield against the creatures.

Daniel drove his truck down the road on his way home. He took a right turn on Lexington when he stopped. There was a barricade in the way. Big giant ugly green creatures were running all over the place, seeming to generate from the corner on the other side of the street. Fire from the police force wasn't helping much. Then he saw a redheaded girl about his age run up, torch the creatures, nuke a large amount of them, and run off. Dan, curious, jumped out of his truck, went to the back and grabbed his shovel. Then he began to run across the street, past the fallen burning creatures, and around the corner that seemed to be the creature's origin. He looked up, and gasped.

A young girl with pointy ears, about 20, was lying on the ground, a greenskin standing over her. The creature had no intrest in her and was bust pulling tires off a car.

Dan looked at the girl, then he looked farther down the road. The girl looked like she could have been in some trouble, and he wanted to help her, but he also needed to know why these things were here.
"Only one thing to do", he said to himself quietly.
Daniel ran up to the girl as stealthily as he possibly could. In one hand, he held his shovel. With the other, he picked up the girl and slung her over his shoulder, which was fairly easy, as he'd done it with large sacks of soil before. Then he began to run farther down the road as he possibly could, constantly checking behind him to see if the monster noticed.

Unfortunately, Daniel lost his footing while running and tripped, falling flat on his face. Luckily, the greenskin ignored him.

Meanwhile, at the drivethru window of A&W....
"Welcome to A&W how may i help you?" said Jesse into the headset.
In response, a big Greenskin walked up to the window.
"Wha...wha...WHAT IS THAT!?"
Jesse hurriedly grabbed a bottle of ketchup, a bottle of mustard, a spatula and a small bottle of grease, then ran outside and saw greenskins all around the street. He then noticed a teenager in a white tank top sprawled across the road. Jesse hurriedly ran out to the teenager and helped him up.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Jesse demanded.

Daniel was helped up by an A&W employee. "What the hell is going on here?" the employee demanded.
Dan picked up the girl and his shovel. He turned to the employee and said "Shhh! Not so loud or these.. things might notice you! I'm trying to figure out where they came from, as well as keep this strange pointyheaded girl safe. I didn't really need help, and I'm doing fine on my own. Now if you don't mind..."
He began to run again, but.. he couldn't. He realized he was limping. "Ahg... I must have sprained my ankle when I fell..." He looked back at the employee. "Do you think maybe you could help me out after all? We'll have a better chance of surviving if we go together anyways. Safety in numbers, right?"

Bad luck for Dan and Jesse, the creature heard them. It turned around and raised its ax. The blade slammed down inches from Jesse's toes.

A loud "smash" catches her attention and she looks to see two men, a strange unconcious woman, and one of those repulsive creatures that had nearly hit one of them. She yanked her hairspray and lighter and runs to join the troubled duo.
"Need help? Yes... you do..." She snickered and a maniacal grin formed on her face as she flicks her lighter on and sprayed fire at the beast.

The creature burst into flames and fell to the ground. The unconcious girl suddenly became concious and an ember landed on her shirt. Since she came to, she was able to roll and put out the flame. She looked at the people surrounding her. "Where am I?" she asked.

Daniel looked around, bewildered. The pointy-eared girl had came to, the girl who caused the explosion just saved his life, and there was an angry fast food worker next to him. This wasn't his day.
He first turned to the redhead and smiled. "Hi, thanks for your help. I would have been a goner if it wasn't for you!" He then looked at the strange girl. "You're in New York. Do you have any idea why there's giant green things running around and destroying the streets? Sorry to interrogate you... but.. you don't look like you're from around here..."

The girl was was completely complexed. "New yzork? Where's that? As for the greenskins, they're orcs. I was taken as a slave and they brought my with me me through some portal on top of a giant ziggurat called the Temple of Ysum. I don't know why they came here, but they were looking for warriors that threaten their Dark Lord.

Adrienne looksed at the gardener that had thanked her and quickly nodder her head, then looked at the strange woman and her story.
She flicked her lighter on and off while listening, keeping an eye out for these orcs.
"And why would they want to bring YOU here?" She asked. "And who's this 'Dark Lord' character? And what about these...warriors...what about them? Who are they?"
She twitched and jumped anxiously after hearing another smash sound and looked around herself like a frightened, confused kitten. "GEEZ! These things love to make alot of noise now do they?!"
She turned away from the girl, looking around alertly and had seemingly forgotten about even asking the girl those questions.
