[ WP ] Aliens come to Earth in hoping to wipe us out and take over the planet , but are honorable and gives us a fighting chance . They announce they will return in 100 years so as to give Earth a chance to prepare and defend itself . Neither side expected what the other would bring to war

It's been a hundred years already, time just flies my grandpa said when you're preparing for intergalactic war. When I was little he told me that war never changes, but for some reason today he said it finally has. 
 
 All the years of the nations fighting ended in the blink of an eye; a mere 80 years before I was born. Canada, USA, Russia, Europe, even China had started to work together overnight for today. The day we fight for earth. 
 
 In case you're reading this and all of the books on our history have been destroyed by war and this message managed to survive the tortures of space, we're humans. Or at least we where before we had to say goodbye. Back before I was born and when my grandpa was growing up they came. The aliens. The leaders at the time managed to negotiate an agreement with them to give us one hundred years to prepare. 
 
 They knew we'd never be ready and they'd win, as did we; or so we thought. Today was the day, January 1'st 2016. The day we'd wage war for our planet, our universe. For everything, for we would refuse to go down without fighting. We were going down with our dignity! 
 
 It was only the crack of dawn when our TV turned on and started to blast the emergency alert system, as did our radio. The governments of the world worked together to jam all communications with this message, it only lasted thirty seconds but easily felt like an hour; the representatives of Earth that our past generations voted came on and started to speak. All the languages of the developed world, even sign language translators for the deaf. 
 
 `` Today, we as human kind will fight against the invaders that came here one hundred years ago. We might die. We might loose everything. But we wont loose our dignity. I want everyone to head outside once this broadcast finishes. We've set up a dead man's switch, a sort of fail safe mechanism to ensure no other living creatures in our galaxy, our home, the Milky Way will have to suffer. We call it the Gravity Box. I wo n't disclose what it will do despite this signal being encrypted. All I will say is if we do n't make it out of this, god bless you all. I hope we can all meet each other again some day.'' His final words, `` Transmission Over'' as the signal went dead. 
 
 As I walked outside I could see them coming, the clouds splitting, a giant ship appearing. The airstrike sirens where going off but I could hear them over the sirens, `` Are you prepared to die?'' they said. From a loud booming speaker all that could be heard from all directions was the spokesperson speaking out. `` We may die today at your hands, but we wo n't die without our dignity''. 
 
 Suddenly I saw a port on the ship open, a bright light coming out of it setting everything it touched on fire destroying it instantly. You could hear see and hear the rockets as they where fired at the ship, they did n't even scratch the outside. The mass killing of all life on Earth was clearly not going to stop, in the air sounds of rockets exploding from being hit, when the spokesperson spoke again. 
 
 `` Have it your way, we're bringing the Gravity Box online.'' and it just cut out as a beam of light struck down far away. 
 
 You could feel it. Gravity just disappeared, then reappeared; at least I thought that was what was happening. You could see the blast of light as it was coming. A massive shock wave as the ship came down to earth and began to vaporize. I had heard conspiracies that we'd stop these aliens with a Anti Matter weapon but this surely could n't be it. It was n't

 Grandson: What happened grandpa? 
 
 Grandpa: Well, that was all that we could recover. 
 
 Grandson: What do you mean? 
 
 Grandpa: The scientests only recovered that of the signal from the Milky Way. 
 
 Grandson: What's the Milky Way? 
 
 Grandpa: It's a now long gone Galaxy, nothing remains. No Matter, no Anti Matter. We do n't what happened but we know they gave up their humanity to save all of us. 
 
 Grandson: Who are they? 
 
 Grandpa: The humans. A mysterious race of creatures that once inhabited the giant blue pearl. This and a golden record on a probe named `` Voyager'' they sent our direction is all that remains of them. They gave it all up, for us. 
 
 Grandson: But why? 
 
 Grandpa: Apparently it's just how they lived when they where still alive.
