A.D. 20,003
It was January the 39th, and Earth was more or less silent.
Twenty thousand years had passed and most sound being heard was from some animals here and there.
Still, much of Earth was covered in snow for whatever reason.
A spacecraft descended upon what is now the remains of the Statue of Liberty.
There had been some theories that the Statue of Liberty was a mythical creation designed to exist sometime in space and time, rather than reality.
Thousands of years earlier, a cult had built a shrine dedicated to their messiah.
They called him Chuck.
His latter name, was Norris.
As his memory began to fade, so began their descendants to question the memory of the creators of the cult, and withdraw from it´s long lasting overall world impact.
The Chuck Norris cult worshipped a messiah unlike no other - a man who had never really come to the world to save anybody, sometimes least of all himself because he had no personal problem to many a knowledge to save himself from.
He had a unique capability - he always allowed whoever wanted to fight him to lose.
But he also had a big heart, a much bigger one than most around him.
A big adding feature to the myth surrounding Chuck Norris was that he never cried.
Unlike most other messiahs, Chuck had no supernatural abilities whatsoever, apart from his divine inner strength which had manifested in an outer strangth Arnold Schwarzenegger had envied, a now long forgotten myth.
A creature emerged from the white, bright light, which had unveiled a door and a few windows.
It had two eyes portruding from it´s insectlike heads, and it had gills, but it could breathe the Earth´s air.
It felt the air to be so good to breathe it almost forgot itself for a brief moment.
Then, it made it´s first move.
In a plain Europan language, it contacted the Europan in charge of the mission, Europan 2 and explained ´we´ve found the DVD´.
It was broken in pieces, 4 to be exact.
´A Force Of One´.
Rather douptful, Europan 2 asked Europan 1 ´are you sure?´
Europan 1 said ´yes, I am pretty sure´.
Europan 2 then requested; ´give me the DVD´s pieces´, and put them into a machine which made the DVD grow back into a pristine condition.
Europan 1 then said ´they were stupid to leave so little proof of their existence, including all the VHS stuff´.
Europan 2 nodded.
Europan 2 was technically in charge of the mission, but Europan 1 was the one who had been selected to retrieve the DVD.
They watched the DVD for hours.
´So this is Norris´Europan 2 said to Europan 1.
´Yes, Chuck Norris, as they called him´.
Europan 2 then said ´I was so sure he didn´t exist. So damn sure that I would find a movie with him walking on water´.
Europan 1 nodded and it was a pity they couldn´t laugh in a way recognizable to the humans of today.
More Europan spaceships landed, and more Europans came out of the first spacecraft to land.
´So this is Chuck Norris´? they all asked.
´Yes, it is you bloody bitches´ Europan 2 said.
The Europans began to argue whether they should take the DVD with themselves to their homeworld.
It was concluded that this should be done.
Upon arrival to their homeworld, the Europans began to show other Europans the fighting techniques of Chuck Norris.
Some would feel sorry they didn´t pick up more Chuck Norris DVD´s and the remaining part of where the Statue of Liberty once stood.
´Well at least we could prove that the Americans existed all right. What a stupid people´ someone said in Europan, and the others didn´t give much damn.
Life on Earth had not been wiped out in it´s entirety, contrary to what many had believed although it´d look certainly so for a time.
The Europeans then decided to consider a majority vote on the subject of travelling back into time to have a meeting with Chuck Norris.
It was concluded that Chuck would probably feel so surprised upon looking at them that he´d end up in a situation where it´d be critically uncertain what´d be the outcome of that situation.
So, the decision was delayed.
Life on Europa was much different than on Earth - there were of course the vast seas, and the nearly endless amounts of fish.
There were pyramids like on Earth but hardly anyone seemed to know who built them.
There were also some spacecraft, some built by the Europans, and a few had arrived from Earth.
What was unique about the culture of the Europans is that they were almost entirely devoid of much of the overall ignorance mankind had suffered from.
After all, they were Europans, or at least, they thought they were somehow less ignorant.
If that is the case how come that so few of them knew who built the Europan pyramids?
What was known from the libraries was that mankind had been just as baffled to find pyramids on Europa as those who had found pyramids on Earth and Mars had been.
It would take some decades for the Europans to collectively share their knowledge of Chuck Norris with each other.
They had no need for a television or much of the technology mankind was so dependent upon in the 21st century.
But their world was nonetheless one endowed with much technology.
And some spirit.
