Hey there! I thought I'd drop by for a quick review on this fine Review Day. I noticed this is an unused chapter, so I'll read this one first and review it, then go to the actual Ch. 1.2 and tell you what I think about the changes.
First off, I like all your ideas here! The alien in particular is what's interesting to me right now. I want to know more about why although all the other aliens are dangerous, he's not. I'm not sure I should trust him. I also found it surprising that he, as the president/king, is here on Earth by himself to research humans. I would have thought he wouldn't be allowed to come for safety reasons.
I'll echo what Justlittleoleme said about the pace of the story feeling rushed, making it sometimes hard to follow. For example, I'm still not sure how Matt got rescued from the monster - did Ozasoid shoot it? That's what I'd guess, but you never actually say.
One of the big things that makes it feel rushed is that you don't ever describe the setting, or what the area around the characters looks like. You definitely don't want to overdo it, but just telling us that Matt is backed up against a tree or has tripped over some tangled branches would really help the reader picture the scene. Right now, all I know is that they're outside and in or near a forest, but I'm not sure where this forest is or what it looks like.
Also, remember that when you have a line of dialogue in a paragraph, if someone else starts talking, their dialogue should be in a new paragraph. For example, this:
"Well too late," said Ozasoid looking around them. At this point they were surrounded, no escape what so ever. "Wait, stop!" shouted a figure in the background, the shadow butted his way through the creatures to reveal his identity.
should have a paragraph break after "At this point they were surrounded, no escape what so ever." because the alien is the next person to talk, rather than Ozasoid.
And I think I'll leave it at that! This is definitely an interesting story, and I'll be sure to review a few more parts of it today.
