[ 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

History is written by the victor. History will alsways reflect what looks best. History, will say that Humankind killed the Alien horde. The real fact is, they killed themselves. 
 
 When the Tel'Kel arrived at Earth, they gave us one hundred years to prepare for a battle. The Tel'Kel were a warring species, but an honorable species. They needed not our resources, our technology, or our planet. To them, war was a sport, and they traveled the universe looking for species who could best them in battle. To this date, they had found none. 
 
 The terms of the battle were simple: Earth had one hundred years to prepare their weapons, and their people for a battle to extinction. Earth would also come up with terms they thought were favorable, and fair, in how each army could fight, and to what the winner would hold. 
 
 For almost a century, Earth's most powerful nations pooled their resources and their minds, trying to create weapons and vehicles capable of destroying the Tel'Kel. Advancements were made in every industry, medical research bloomed, self sustaining power sources were created, weapons from what seemed like science fiction were created, the list went on. After 89 years, everyone concluded it just was n't enough. 
 
 The Tel'Kel were too powerful. Records from their first arrival proved how powerful, how lethal they could be. Humanity had no hope of defeating them on the battlefield. 
 
 In a last, desperate hope, one very unlikely avenue was approached. The Tel'Kel had told Earth to also prepare terms that they thought were agreeable for the victor, and the battle. So Earth, in a last shot, turned to the experts. For the last eleven years, 4,873 lawyers were given free reign to play with the terms. 
 
 For eleven years these lawyers wrote in every clause, every loophole, every legal trick they could think of into one binding contract. This document was so large, it could n't practically be put on paper. An entire building of computer serves was built to house it. 
 
 When the Tel'Kel arrived back in Earth's orbit, and questioned our terms, they were met with three Exabytes ( or 3,458,764,513,820,540,928 bytes, roughly the equivalent of 750 billion DVDs ) of data. Even using the Tel'Kel's incredibly advanced communication systems, the file took two and a half years to completely upload. It took another four years for them to contact Earth again. They wanted to forgo the terms, their council said. It was taking too long to go though, to debate among themselves. Some of the Tel'Kel wanted to just destroy Earth out of spite, forgetting the terms and leaving Earth a blackened husked. Others wanted to stick to their code, to their honor, and continue working with the document Earth had presented them. It was causing strife among them. The Prime Minister of France, acting President of the UN, looked rather smug when he replied we would not negotiate the terms. 
 
 Nothing was heard from the Tel'Kel after that. The GAME, or Globally Allied Militaries or Earth, picked up more and more transmissions between Tel'Kel ships. Their fleet began to separate, with half heading to orbit the moon, while the other half stayed in Earths orbit. For two months this stand off continued. 
 
 On August 7th, the two fleets attacked each other. Both sides inflicted heavy casualties on each other, leaving very little left. It was a complete rout when the Space fighters of Earth attacked the surviving ships, ascending upon the wounded and damaged Tel'Kel fighters before they could recover. 
 
 The Tel'Kel were never seen or heard from since. The celebrations went on for weeks, the nations of Earth never have been so close to one another before. At the closing ceremony, the guest of honor, Nobel Prize winner Stephen Write, gave the speech dedicating August 7th as International Lawyers Day. `` I know not if lawyers all go to hell,'' He said, inciting a few laughs, `` but without them, today, we would n't have own our bit of haven.''
