Gudama casually walked after them believing they were trapped, however, a young female pilot caught his eye at the end of the facility high up on a bridge. She stood there smiling at him holding a helmet by her hip with an arm as Gudama watched her down below. She pointed at him with her free hand and yelled in Japanese before retreating into the shadows. Gudama let out a breath.

“Women,” he said dismissing her as harmless.

 

Sounds of metal were heard as something was turned on. With loud footsteps, a giant Super Mecha stepped forth piloted by the girl, releasing more advanced bots from its lower compartment. Spider bots and other animal like droids were released.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Gudama said.

He smashed them with vicious strikes and leaped up on a bridge creating distance. Gudama muscled his way through, pummeling robots of all kinds while running up the stairs. At the top he locked eyes with the girl who was determined to kill him. She powered up a projectile to which Gudama picked up on. He jumped off the bridge while pressing a button on his wrist armor, dodging the Super Mecha’s laser beam and landed on his hover board.

 

Flying around, Gudama evaded several shots fired from the massive robot, and reflected its own beam with his wrist armor, obliterating its lower posterior. Tactfully, he crushed its metal frame in guerilla warfare strategy. American platoon soldiers barged in and turned on their special weapon – a giant magnetic pulse which rendered all bots useless with its attracting force. The ground shook as even the enormous Super Mech was swept off its feet to the magnet.

 

“Take cover!” Gudama yelled to his platoon.

The female pilot screamed as the Super Mech’s bulky frame crashed hard into the magnet, crushing all the other bots that were sucked up. Gudama sliced off parts with chops and knife strikes. He punched the bulletproof window pod shattering it easily, and grabbed the girl. She squirmed around trying to hit Gudama as he held her in the air by her neck with one extended arm. He slapped away a gun she tried to withdraw. Unable to bare her Japanese gibberish, Gudama smacked her across the face. It only seemed to make her yap more, so Gudama smacked her again with the back of his hand, this time knocking her out cold and let her go.

“Girls with toys,” said Gudama gesturing at her unconscious body.

 

One of the scientists emerged in a robotic battle suit challenging Gudama. Everyone stared as the man pathetically attempted to best Gudama in hand to hand combat. Within a few seconds, Gudama clobbered the scientist, ripping apart the metal exterior like paper. Other Japanese scientists surrendered hastily on their knees. Soon after, the entire country belonged to him. Gudama began speaking to Japanese media of his plans of assistance with a better strategy for their needs. His speech was interrupted when his wrist armor started beeping. Answering, Gudama was notified by American military of another threat. The newly created Soviet Russia had just fired a nuke heading straight to America.

 

Hastily, Gudama zoomed away on his hover board, breaking the sound barrier through the skies following the holographic projection of the location from his wrist armor. Gudama quickly intercepted the warhead missile thanks to his radar, and manually guided it while on his hover board, letting it go to explode high in space. He was disappointed at the newly resurrected USSR’s violent reactions against him and left for Italy to put an end to their terror as he received word of their invasion.

 

Upon arriving, he was suddenly hit by a massive metal arm. He fell off the board, crashing into a temple.

“So Mr. Gudama, you think you can defeat the Soviet Union eh?” said the general inside the cockpit of the enormous robot.

Gudama could smell the vodka even from the distance. The Russian operated the machine to strike to which Gudama evaded.

“You silly American, in Russia we don’t have air conditioning, we have Siberia,” he said firing an ice gun infused with Siberian snow. Gudama swiftly dashed out of the way and circled the skies on his hover board avoiding additional shots. He charged at the machine, but was smacked away crashing into a temple pillar.

“In Russia we don’t have pistols, we have AK-47,” said the Russian as his men opened fire. Gudama took hits, but used his wrist armor to deflect the bullets hitting other soldiers.

“In Russia, we don’t have government, we have Spetsnaz, heh, heh,” he continued with a one sided slanted smirk as Special Forces arrived.

“Welcome comrade to the Soviet Union!” said the general planting a Russian flag on the ground letting out a barrel of laughter as his men attacked at full force armed with rockets, tanks, and machine guns.

 

Flicking his arm, Gudama smacked away an oncoming rocket blowing up the array of other drones. He dodged a shot fired from a tank and cut the main gun with a knife strike shocking the other soldiers. Quickly, Gudama climbed to the top and opened the hatch, punching the popping face of a Russian soldier and threw a stun bomb closing the lid. Another tank pursued him taking aim, but Gudama bent the end of the main gun towards the optical periscope. Fleeing for their lives, the operating soldiers evacuated as the tank blew up.

 

Several Spetsnaz attacked, throwing hard heavy strikes, but Gudama with his superior skill in combat bested them. A shirtless unarmed man challenged him. Gudama went for a punch only to hit air. Surprised, he continued to attack, but the man parried him and made him fall through nonphysical means.

 

“Oh, psycho-energetic combat,” he said smiling.

Adjusting, Gudama caught the soldier off guard with a bear paw strike knocking him ten feet back.

The other soldiers joined in only to hit the ground by Gudama’s superior skill.

 

Hopping on his hover board, Gudama went for the general, but encountered additional drone tanks.

“Ha, ha, ha, come on, let’s go Gudama!” challenged the general.

Gudama evaded their assault with his flying board, the skies booming from the explosives.

“You’re a dead man Mr. Gudama,” said the general. Whirling around, Gudama successfully struck parts of the giant robot inflicting damage. His feeling of winning was cut short as he was hurled by an invisible force generated by another soldier equipped in a black suit wearing a psychic enhancing helmet with cords implanted into his brain. His dark exterior shielded him from the naked eye. Using his super senses, Gudama quickly caught him with a round house kick, inflicting pain while damaging the soldier’s invisibility cloak.

“You’re a dead man Mr. Gudama, repeated the general distracting him with fire power and strikes.

 

Regaining composure, the lab created soldier focused energy. Gudama was thrown around by psychic warfare as the soldier in black conducted his hands like a puppeteer, pushing Gudama away without laying a finger. Gudama proceeded to get up, only to be thrown back again on the temple grounds while the drunk general laughed, smashing homes of bystanders while watching them flee.

 

The helmet, that’s it, Gudama thought.

Heh, I guess being slammed into the ground gave me the needed jolt of eureka, he concluded.

 

Harnessing energy of his own, Gudama arose and was able to defend against the soldier’s psychic attacks. With a quick gesture, Gudama faked his adversary and closed the gap between them, choking the soldier who retaliated. With his incredible resiliency, Gudama withstood a full psychic blast from the Russian, his skin stretching back from the force, and smashed the helmet with his fist. Crushing it with his hands, Gudama threw away the device.

 

Extending his arms, the soldier attempted to use his powers to which Gudama laughed as it was too weak without the aid of the helmet. He easily tossed him aside.

“You’re a dead man Mr. Gudama,” said the general.

“Enough with that!” retorted Gudama with a fist.

 

Zipping through the air on his hover board, Gudama went for the kill. However, realized he was within firing range between the general and a tank.

“Heh, heh, heh, let’s see what you’ve got!” said the general in his thick heavy Russian accent.

The tank fired. Everything appeared in slow motion from Gudama’s perspective. With quick thinking, he twisted to his side dodging the projectile, allowing it to meet the wide eyed general.

 

Exploding glass and metal shards flew everywhere as the tank’s blast exposed the cockpit where the general operated. Swiftly, Gudama swooped in and slammed the general’s face on the control board repeatedly and threw him out. He screamed as he fell to the ground as Gudama took control of the machine, using it to immobilize the other tanks. He celebrated his victory as he managed to take down another super power, thus preventing war.

 

Over the course of a few weeks, Gudama exterminated all remaining terrorist groups of Middle Eastern countries, secret super rich society camps, and facilities of nuclear weapons, domestic enemies, and military armies of the elite. He later then threw out the evil corrupt bureaucrats, replacing them with hand selected new officials steadily claiming more countries for his own.

 

Immediately after Gudama’s attack, all aggressive foreign countries of the Alliance, which consisted of the combined forces of Russia, China, North Korea, and the Middle East, all had waved their white flags, giving their official statements of ceasing war. Venezuela was also being used to do the bidding of Russia as per an agreement, and so Gudama ended their terror along with disarming dangerous weapons. It too became a part of Gudama’s rule.

 

Soon after, all other nations of the planet trembled at his might and willfully declared their willingness to abide by new regulations. People demanded that their leaders cooperate with Gudama to avoid any additional violence.

New Laws of Galactic Earth

Submitting to the power of their almighty adversary, the people of other nations surrendered to Gudama as they all accepted him as leader. Everyone went along with whatever changes he made as positive results became rapidly visible. War had ended as Gudama’s actions frightened yet won the trust of other countries’ citizens.

 

Pleased, Gudama scheduled a follow up speech where all of the world’s leaders were invited to America as he now sought to re-establish earth’s infrastructure anew. Of course they all hurried over in their private jets, fearing to anger him. He joyfully approached the podium neatly dressed to deliver his message with Layla in the background.

 

Taking a deep breath, he began, “I have come here to save my fellow human beings from danger and only received hostility. Still, I know it’s not your fault entirely and that evil ones were running the show. Therefore, as new leader, my plan is to take what America once stood for to the next level and make such freedom available to all who wish to embrace it. I’ am creating a new system where each nation runs independently and where I super see that fundamental laws are being met.”

Gudama explained his vision of positioning himself in the background to become more of an on call service to over-ride global affairs if things got out of hand. With that, he insisted that all nations would be able to continue as they wish with their own regulations so long as they don’t violate the fundamentals. They were as he described from his newly created rule, New Laws of Galactic Earth:

 

  • Nations must define its borders, language, and culture in order to create peace and avoid confusion among its citizens, outsourcing and misuse of alien entities or individuals for cheaper labor is outlawed.

 

  • Government is only used for providing legal services for citizens via courts and public service and is forbidden from dictating individual lifestyle and choices.

 

  • All environmental, agricultural, natural resource, energy, and additional political actions regarding the welfare of the planet including its lifeforms, are automated through Robotic AI systems which will perform such appropriate actions without bias, reporting its data to citizens freely.

 

  • Using this same principle, standards will be met for basic necessities of food, drink, and materials used in the construction of homes, common items, real estate, and public structures to avoid the use of hazardous substances and the regulation of dangerous levels of certain toxins.

 

  • Military and police are only to be used solely for the protection of its citizens.

 

  • Personnel of such organizations must hold golden high standards to recruit volunteers who genuinely wish to help and protect their fellow man. Additionally, higher thorough education must be implemented in training to ensure that each soldier is knowledgeable of human behavior, culture, science, and technology in order to effectively end conflicts with minimal use of force and wild aggression as a last resort.

 

  • Killing of the innocent for personal gain is forbidden.

 

  • Governments are not permitted to do business nor support third party groups whether they are medical companies, religious, or educational.

 

  • No religious group shall get any special treatment nor does a society have to succumb to their demands.

 

  • Educational institutions must all maintain an agreed standard created through international relations for communication purposes. National standards are up to each nation however. Universities may choose to be public or private, but regardless must maintain their integrity through their required national academic standard. The manner in which they wish to teach such subjects of academia through the integrated use of communicative technologies, lectures, and alike, are entirely their choosing and each professor has the freedom to instruct as they see fit so long as their students accumulatively pass the school’s standardized tests. National and international exams will be available yearly as an option for all accredited institutions of higher learning to prove their legitimacy and effectiveness of their method.

 

  • Businesses and enterprise can freely operate without government interference so long as they again abide by the New Laws of Galactic Earth.

 

  • Taxes are determined by each nation however, no government may threaten or force or deceive or use media or persuade the public or the individual to pay. The appropriate course of action would be the discontinuation of all national services for that citizen who does not pay.

 

  • Corruption and deception in anyway is strictly prohibited, and subject to punishment.

 

  • Violence, public offense, and other criminal behavior are to be addressed by each country individually. Their citizens may call for Gudama to interfere if they feel their government has failed to effectively remedy such chaos to which, Gudama requires at least fifty percent of the population to vote in order to intervene. In doing so, he will fix the issues as he sees fit and reselect new officials for future leadership roles.

 

  • War is illegal, if countries cannot arrive at a peaceful agreement and the resulting destruction threatens the survival of the earth, its resources, and the masses, Gudama by authority will step in to end the quarrel and arrive at a workable resolution as well as apply the same electoral actions as previously stated.

 

  • All individuals have human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the New Laws of Galactic Earth and must be fully exercised and followed accordingly in all courts of law. Such rights are as follows:

 

  • The right to pursue that which their soul desires.
  • To obtain wealth and become rich without paying the consequence of higher taxes.
  • Rights to protect themselves via self-defense from those who provoke, harm, or express strong intention and or threats of harm from any one individual, group, government, or entity.
  • All alleged individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
  • All persons are free to choose their lifestyle, personal beliefs, religion, and way of living so long as it does not intrude on the privacy, wellbeing, and way of life of others.

 

  • Citizens are not subject to any governmental action whether recommended or not, each citizen has the freedom to choose for themselves how they wish to live without violating the fundamental New Laws of Galactic Earth.
  • Further regulations, rights, laws, and details of the fine specific implementations, procedures, and exercising of the New Laws of Galactic Earth are to be determined by each nation.

 

Gudama closed the book and wiped his hands.

“Those are the New Laws of Galactic Earth. All are free to live as they wish so long as they abide by the new rules. Failure to do so will result in strict punishment and I will find out of those who wish to violate or manipulate such laws in anyway, and I won’t be happy with those persons,” he said leaning over the podium moving his eyes in both directions.

 

Obligated, the representatives of the world rose on their feet, placing their hand on their hearts and repeated the following,

“I pledge allegiance to the Great Spirit of the United Nations of Galactic Earth, and to the values for which it stands, one world, embracing justice, invincible with humanity, and freedom for all.”

 

“I’ am now responsible for all of you. Now that I have conquered your lands, I’ am obligated to serve you, therefore I promise I shall transform this earth to a place of peace and freedom. Where a mother can let her child play without worrying about a predator lurking in the bushes, where people have the choice to become what their soul desires rather than what society wants them to be, a world of abundance, liberty, and the empowerment of the individual. As I promised, I will end tyranny, end war, end corruption, no more destruction, no more elitism, no more economic slavery, and no more suppression. It has been stated in our holy books of the promised land of paradise. I Gudama, promise to all of you, that with the power of God, I shall bring heaven down to the earth!”

 

Silence filled the atmosphere as people contemplated their new way of living. Millions of doubts, fears, and concerns raced in their minds yet at the same time relief settled in as Gudama did allow each nation to operate independently.

Regardless, it was still a massive change for earth’s citizens and a hard new fact to accept that they are now ruled by an almighty superior being.

 

“I’m not here to rule over you, I’m here to oversee, to make sure you don’t kill yourselves. I also announce that to better protect you, I’m now officially creating the Galactic Earth Federation base here on earth, a group consisting of myself and fellow volunteers whom I feel worthy and qualified, dedicated to keeping this planet safe as well as representing us at intergalactic relations. This may be a worthwhile goal for some of you. Thank you for your time, good luck, and I bid you farewell till next time,” Gudama said as he waved goodbye and exited the platform, glancing at Layla as he passed her who was superbly dressed in a classy white silk blouse, wearing her mother given golden necklace with a red orange Garnet glistening on her chest, giving a royal air to her. She seemed genuinely happy, yet a bit concerned or perhaps overwhelmed at the magnanimous change occurring on earth.

 

Stepping down, Gudama was confronted by an Asian reporter.

“Gudama, you claim to be for our welfare, but it seems you are enforcing American law on the entire world,” she said with a Chinese accent.

Gudama let out a loud barrel of laughter holding his belly while leaning back, closing his eyes with his mouth wide open.

“You really believe that?” he said looking at the girl who gave him a blank stare.

Gudama shook his head, “Sweetie, if I was reciting

American law, I wouldn’t be finished now. I would be standing there till the next full moon. You’re just going to have to trust me,” he said walking away.
