[[File:Tripod Wellsian Destruction.png|thumb|left|315x|As the Wellsians fall sick to the plague, some of [[Heat Ray|their weapons]] are turned against them in the chaos. ([[VIDEO]]: ''[[The Wellsians (video story)|The Wellsians]]'')]]There, finding that the Earth's gravity prevented them from moving about on their own, they hastily constructed [[Tripod|Tripod Walking-Machines]], “with built-in [[Heat Ray]]s, of course”, and began wreaking havoc. “Just as they were finishing up the destruction of [[England]]”, they began to feel hungry, and, having been unable to bring their [[Martian cattle|“blood-cattle”]] from home, began to drain humans for blood. This proved a mistake, as the Wellsians had failed to anticipate that human blood was contaminated with a variety of pathogens; all diseases were long-extinct on their own planet. Most of the army was wiped out, and the last survivors collected in one Tripod which they modified into a space-ship, flying to the nearest planet, [[Venus#In the 97th Cosmos|Venus]]. There, they crashed, to be found by the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] many years later. At some point, a video [[Cupid Fact File]] detailing the invasion was recorded in the [[Cupid Archives]].

The small number of surviving Wellsians on Venus were later encountered by [[Pythagoras-858]] in a [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|CCCC]] base called [[Morningstar 1]]. Despite Pythe trying to stop them, they escaped, acquiring dimensional travel. | The small number of surviving Wellsians on Venus were later encountered by [[Pythagoras-858]] in a [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|CCCC]] base called [[Morningstar 1]].

By December 2020, the Wellsians were well on their way to taking control of New Wellsia, having founded a [[New Wellsian Empire]]. However, there was still only five of them, not counting the Emperor [[Karshassinwellshkhan III]], who the surviving five speculated speculated might still be alive on the original Wellsian homeworld, but was no longer recognised as having authority over them, with Radluhac preparing to crown himself the new Emperor. The Wellsians enslaved and oppressed the [[Goblin]]s, their new planet's actual native species.
