The Story of a Falling Civilization and the Rise of A New

The origin of the dread lords and the terrans demise.

Chapter 1
"Unusual Coldness"

"The galaxy has been rid of the Dread Lords and the civilizations are still fighting." "The humans are still fighting the Drengi and the Yor insist on war with us."Somethings not right." The new Altarian leader was uneasy, perhaps just a bad day? The fact that somebody else felt something was wrong half the galaxy away dismissed this theory. It was an unusual coldness, the type even N-1 can feel. The unusual coldness you get right before a series of bad events, you know a sudden chill in your spine. Or in the case of the other leader that felt it, a sudden chill in your insectoid exoskeloten.

The Thalans have had that chill ever since the Terrans came into play, they knew they would only bring trouble, but what? This bothered them everyday to the extent were they get headaches and ponder the topic all day. The Thalans had always been used to total control and safety, after all what could go wrong with a world full of bugs willing to do whatever the hive leader says? And when the humans came in things changed, the Thalans saw humans who were dissobediant, rebelling, and some just plain sadistic. It was the last part that bothered them the most.

Chapter 2
"Just Plain Sadistic"

Alan Bradley was in his pondering if he should order more tea or please himself and order some Xeno Soda,he didn't have time to finish this thought as he recieved a call on his vinatage and impossible to find telephone. He enjoyed this luxury almost as much as the ability to order anything on Earth that is edible. Obolishing this thought, he heard the artifical air his "Advisor of Foriegn Race Operations" was breathing. He said "Hello Kushnikov, what is the reason of this communication?" Kushnikov replied "Our foriegn sattelite spy network has picked up some Thalan transmissions, and although its already evident they are cuatious about us." "Yes I know that." Alan Bradley said,Kushnikov tired from all his space travel said "Look I know you know that why would i call you about something you already know!?". Silence overcame the line for 3 whole seconds until Kushnikov said "Look theyre saying we are sadistic, rebellious,and foolhardy! Shurly this suprises you!" More silence went over the line...

Alan send a top importance call to Thala right after Kushnikov gave him the news. He waited for a reply and then the face of the Thalan Foriegn Relations Manager came up. "What issss it humble leader of the Terransss?" Alan Bradly replied sharply "Your smartass world of bugs seems to think of us as sadistic! Il'l give you 2 seconds to explain!". The Thalan sighed heavily, "You humansss must not understand..." Alan interrupted "No you dont understand, in this society calling someone sadistic is viewed as a act of war and i will not hesitate to send my whole fleet at you! Have you ever seen the movie Starship Troopers?!" The Thalan thought to himself "Sadly yes...". Alan switched off his commlink in a angry fashion. "What the hell ill get the soda."

Authors Note:As you can see my latest installment has shown the increasement in tension between the Thalans and the Humans. Due to a simple misenterpation in communication the Humans have now stepped off friendly grounds with the Thalans. Installment 3 will be written based on your comments as well as its date of release so post away.

Here is chapter 3, i decided to go a little more into Kashnikovs background and opinions to increase character devolpment.

Chapter 3
"Kushnikov"

Kushnikov hated the artifical air in his helmet, it made him wheeze as if he had a sore throught. He had made his arguement just a month ago to the Earth Leaders but apparently his 10 years of service and rank of Advisor of Foriegn Race operations didn't matter. Its amazing how he came from a frontline invasion marine to a advisor he thought to himself, to hell with the foriegn races for all I care. "Kushnikov!" shouted a worker over the chatline, "Yes?" he said,"I think you should see this...". He hated overwatching these pathetic workers colonizing a barren planet, but it was his job to explain to other races that this planet was "taken". He countinued this thought and followed the worker, he was taking him to the overwatch hill. The overwatch hill was what they used to observe space incase some aliens decided to pull something off. The worker said "Look into the sky through these binoculars." Kushnikov did as instructed and saw 3 brilliant flashes of white."Looks like somebodys activating hyperdrive." Kushnikov commented "How long has this been happening?". The worker answered "For 4 minutes at 30 second intervals and..." Kushnikov heard 3 loud pops that rang through the surface, and suddenly the ground started rumbling. "Oh shit! Get down and close your eyes!" Kashnikov shouted! They both hit the dirt and a blinding light lit up the planet like a flashbang grenade and then there was a sudden silence. "Is it ove..." the worker said just as a huge boom shook the ground like an earthquake throwing them into the air!

"Terran sattelites detected multiple hyperdrive activations over the last hour, as a matter of fact a fleet of ships passed directly through the atmosphere of planet Leo II permenatly damaging the sight and hearing abilitys of 159 colonizers on the planet." said the radar operator of sector 49. "The radar revealed these ships were traveling at hyperdrive speed therefore..." Alan Bradley interrupted his report and said "Explain the injurys." the radar operator was obviously intimidated and replied "Well, hyperdrive goes so fast that the resulting sonic boom can literally blow up someones ears and the sight injurys are due to the extreme amount of light emitted from the engine." Alan Bradley said "I see now by any chance did you find out its class?" "Yes it was a...yor collective battle fleet."

Cool! I'm sensing an uneasy allience between the us and the Tahlans. DEATH TO THE YOR!!! (I'm sorry, i couldn't resist)

The start of a war and the beggining of a disaster, all i could say for now...

Chapter 4
"It Begins..."

The radar operator of sector 49 countinued his report still uneasy due to the presence of such famous faces in the room. He said "We also found the Yor battle fleets destination, this may seem disturbing but it is heading straight to Altaria, the well known capital of our greatest ally. We also found out that it is being followed by 3 full fighter squadrons. Most of Altarias defense fleets are out at the battlefront, i believe its evident that the Yor's intentions are genocide." The leaders of humanity began discussing this, and Alan Bradley stated "I find this report very informative, we have no other choice but to help our ally's fight the Yor." a politican interupted "But sir! We are already at war with the drengi, its impossible to fight 2 superpowers at once! Surely you have considered this..." Alan Bradley replied "Which brings me to the Thalans..."

Kushnikov coughed and regained conscience, he felt something warm trickling down his cheek. Blood, he had become all to familar with this feeling. He arose and remembered the worker, he spotted him about 20 feet away. He yelled out to the worker but couldn't hear anything, he suddenly saw his reflection in his helmet and to his horror he saw mangled earlobes and pouring blood where his ears were! He screamed out only reminding him he was deaf, he saw a ship in front of him. It didn't look very human to him, but he decided it was his only chance of survival. He approached the ship and a tall metallic looking sillohoute appeared. He took a few more steps forward and then felt a sudden burst of pain in his chest he looked down and what he saw was the hand of a Yor soldier. He coughed out some blood and looked up again, the last thing he saw was a serrated blade with blood and intestines all over it. His last thought was "Those must be mine.".

The Terrans plan was simple yet genuis, the radar operator thought of it himself. The plan was to swing in behind the Yor fleet and attack them while they concentrated on Altarias defenses. Alan Bradley assigned 3 corvette class ships, 60 attack fighters, and one capital ship to complete "Operation:Altarian Saviors". Of course the Altarians were alerted to the incoming attack and the Terran plan right away, the Thalans had half-heartedly agreed to fight off the Drengin until the war against the Yor was over. In return the Terrans agreed to help construct the Thalans latest superweapon. Little to no detail was given on its nature and abilitys. The fleet deployed at approximatly 12:30pm Altaria local time and headed off.

General Tarqin was the commander of Operation:Altarian Saviors wether he liked it or not. He had immediatly been escorted by Shock-Troopers to the U.S.S Star Grazer, he had direct orders from the Commander in Chief himself to lead this capital ships fleet to victory. He sat in his chair travelling at hyperdrive speed on 12 trillion diffrent parts, enough fuel to blow up Washington D.C, and about 1 trillion dollars worth of parts. This was intimadating. He sighted the Yor fleet and Altaria and ordered all equipment shutdown for the sneak attack. He waited approximatly 3 minutes and ordered all power to weapons with the permission to fire at will. 2 brillant bursts of light signified 2 ships down for the count. He saw the Yor ships had not changed direction. Odd he thought, he anticipated the bastards to turn around and see thier doom approaching. General Tarqin barked "Battle Report!" a orderly replied "4 tangos shot down, 1 of our boys destroyed." what he saw next was incredible a whole swarm of Yor ships emerged from the Yor Capital ships hangar and headed straight for them. "Sir, 7 tangos down 5 of ours down." Then a explosion rocked the mighty U.S.S Star Grazer as on of there corvettes got shot down. "God damnit wheres the Altarian backup!" he shouted out of frustration. He was answered by a orbital cannon shooting down half of the Yors fighters down in one mighty beam of fire and 4 Altarian corvettes approaching. "Sir,40 Tangos down, 26 of ours down." The Yor battle fleet was battered but not beaten yet. "Requesting the big one command." the general said over the commlink. Once again he was answered by a large explosion, this time the Yor capital ship breaking in half. He chuckled to himself, "the big one" was his favorite missile, never fails to beat the crap out of the enemy. "Sir,the Yor are retreating! 78 out of 102 tangos down including a major target. With only 54 losses to us! Wev'e won!". And for the first time for a whole month, General Tarqin knew everything was fine.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note:Big things are happening now. Opposed to Tarqins beliefs however everything is not fine, as a matter of fact things are just getting worse. Kushnikov has died, LeoII has Yors on it, and the Thalans are building a superweapon. Things are definatly not ok. This is the largest installment yet, every 4 or 5 installments will be like this. Think of it as a season finale.  
Installment 5 will be coming to you very soon or at popular demand. Remember your comments shape the story!

Luanch of "season 2" is all i could think of to say right now.  

Chapter 5
"Debriefing"

The U.S.S Star Grazer was approaching Earth with the rest of the surviving fleet from "Operation:Alatarian Saviors" and had recieved special clearence to land before anyone else. "All power to entry shields." ordered General Tarqin as they began there atmospheric descent. He had been satisfied with his latest missions results and was in a good mood. "Sir, Alan Bradley on commlink." his orderly informed. "Yes, Alan?" said Tarqin, "I just wanted to personally thank you boys for saving our friends, there is many medals in this for sure!" congratulated Alan. Tarqin replied "Thank you sir. We shall be landing in about 6 minutes.". Alan congratulated him again and then left him to his descent. Tarqin watched the colossal ship come straight towards the runway, it began to adjust all thrusters to reverse, and finally flared in one brilliant movement. "Land Ho..." he murmured. Tarqin had a feeling this would be the first of many battles, he couldn't help but wonder what would happen next.


N-1's cold mettalic hands slammed onto his desk! "What happened to my fleet!" N-1 yelled at his advisors! "Could this have been predicted?!" he questioned furiosly. One of his advisor sheepishly said "This event was highly improbable our scientists said..." N-1 grew even madder "Do you know what happens to our scientists when they predict incorrectily!" N-1 yelled. He appeared to calm down "You know what you probably dont, allow me to demonstrate..." he then thrusted his hands straight at his advisor's chest and grabbed his air module. "Please dont!!!" screamed out the advisor in terror! Screams could be heard outside the office of N-1. Screams so loud it actually sent a chill down his secretaries neck. Screams of agony.
____________________________________________________________________________________

Secret Thalan prophecy revealed in this chapter. WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT INCLUDED IN WRITING

Chapter 6
"That brings me to the Thalans..."

The Thalan philosopher sat in his chair eagerly awaiting his meeting with Hithesius. Such an honor to communicate with the belovent leader of us lowly workers he thought. Hithesius entered alone, he had nothing to worry about anyway, these bugs worshipped him. "Is it really you?" the philosopher questioned trying not to sound to excited. Hithesius replied "Yes, it is I, your extremely intellegent leader, it has come to my attention..." the philosopher interupted "Its so great that your'e here great one, but why me?". Hithesius sighed then replied "As I was saying, its come to my attention that you carry knowledge that I do not know of, is this true?" "Yes, its about the prophecy." answered the philosopher. Hithesius suddenly grew serious, if this philosopher knew something about the prophecy that he didn't, he needed to know what it was. "Explain your findings." the philosopher then told him "I found more artifacts relating to the Prophecy, iv'e decoded them and found something very intresting. The original prophecy states that those who will bring devestation are coming right? Well new pieces of the puzzle i've uncovered say those who bring devastation will be pure of heart and tainted dark. In other words something will happen that will turn "the pure of heart" into a blackened corrupted race." Hithisius asked "When does it say this will happen?" the philosopher replied "Sometime this year.".

Radar operator 49 and the fleet of "Operation:Altarian Saviors" had risen from ragtag militia to highly decorated officers in 1 day. Radar operator 49 had been assigned to be the head advisor to General Tarqin and his new fleet, while Tarqin and his fleet had been promoted to "Special Services Fleet" status. But there were unsung hereos to, the colonizers on LeoII were the first to report strange activity in sector 49, Kushnikov had been completly forgotten and had become a statistic. Alan Bradley easily replaced him with another politican and ordered a quick funeral. The Altarians had contacted Alan Bradley right when the U.S.S Star Grazer landed to offer a full alliance, complete with military assistance and economic treatys. Alan Bradley opened a commlink with the Yor N-1 was less then pleased. "I dont even have to say how provocative your assistance to the Altarians is, we declare a full out war on Altaria,You,and the traitorous Thalans who agreed to help you!" N-1 yelled. Alan Bradley remaining calm stated "Our relations with the Thalans is strictly for our protection at the moment, they do not deserve to be attacked." N-1 pondered this then said "Fine, but let me show you what i do to people who get in my way." N-1 then proceeded to pick up the mangled and twisted body of one of his advisors. Immediatly after showing a human hostage."Your human friend here will have the same fate as my advisor." Alan Bradley watched in horror begging N-1 not too. Then he heard the voice of the hostage "No please! I'll tell you anything! Please not me!" Alan Bradley quickly said "Perhaps we could work out..." then he saw it happen. N-1 produced a knife "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" he heard the hostage scream in agony as N-1 peeled his skin of very slowly. The hostage let out screams that made Alan Bradley cringe, N-1 then put his hands on the hostages face and squished his head into a fleshy gory pulp. Alan Bradley couldn't bear it, he turned off the screen and puked all over his office. N-1 countinued to mangle the body even though Alan was gone, he was enjoying this.

Authors Note:I hope you read the warning above before reading this. Some pretty graphic stuff included towards end. Anyway the war has offically begun and N-1 demonstrated his seriousness very clearly  . I also want to say the graphic content was added to create a new view on the Yor and was purely made to make the reader have an emotional reaction not just to add more action.

Title pretty much sums it up.

Chapter 7
"First Battles"

Lord Kona was utterly confused. He had attempted a battle against the Terrans a week ago only to be answered by Thalans. He summoned his advisor, "Advisor, why have our attacks on the Terrans been answered by the Thalans?" he questioned. Drengins not being to bright to begin with didn't really have enough brain power to interpet a situation. The only things Drengins were smart about were there warship designs. "Well Lord Kona, perhaps the Terrans have made a deal with the Thalans. A sort of alliance." his advisor answered. Kona replied "Impossible! The Thalans have always put a wall between them and the Terrans! They must be getting something pretty big out of this." his advisor agreed "Something very big indeed."

The Terrans had luanched an attack fleet to weaken the Yor's considerable army the day after the gruesome hostage transmission was broadcasted. The fleet had been ordered to fly to Polis, a large arctic planet that the Yor used to build their mini fighters. Mini-Fighters are generation 3 fighters that are small and fast but only equiped with lasers and mini-drivers, the Mini-Fighters number one weakness is its complete lack of defenses. However the Mini-Fighters make up for defenses in numbers, being easy to produce there are a large amount of them in service. The goal of this mission was to take over Polis and destroy the Mini-Fighter factorys. The fleet approached Polis with as much speed as possible and sighted the first Yor Mini-Fighters approaching. All Terran ships fired at the Mini-Fighters with thier best aim, suddenly a whole swarm of them popped out of the atmosphere and sorrounded the Terran fleet. The Terrans ships collided with thousands of Mini-Fighters as they countinued thier raid on Polis. Several Troop Transports slowly began thier stealthy descent into Polis as the Mini-Fighters were distracted by the attack fleet. The landed on Polis and began thier strike on the factorys, this was the start of the first battles.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: Just wanted to put the Drengin into the story since they were a key part of the Thaln-Terran alliance. This installment entitled "First Battles" shows that the Terrans have the upper-hand so far. Installment 8 will be coming soon to a theater near you.

Nice story so far sir, but why do you have to make the Yor out to be such bad guys?   

They are just misunderstood!   

(of course I am saying that because they are my favorite)

Can't wait for the next installment.

Chapter 8
"The Polis Mystery"

The troop transports landed approximatly 2 miles away from the factorys on Polis. They had orders to undertake, and Yors to kill. The soldiers boots made a *crunch* in the snow as they approached thier target. They barely could make out the factorys in the dense snowstorm but pressed on. A soldier stepped on something that was indeed not snow, he heard a mettalic *clink* as he stepped forward. He stopped and alerted his higher officers, they ordered a quick excavation of the site and told him that they would go to the factorys later in the day. "Commander?" Seargent Jenkins spoke into his radio. "Yes Seargent?" the commander replied, "Well sir, we found something intresting in the snow and are going to post-pone the factory operation just for a few hours. Please alert high command." he said. The commander did as asked of him and alerted the goverment of all Terrans. If the Yor had something to hide, then he wouldn't stop his men from finding it.

On Thala the superweapon operation was tedious. Just as the Arnor artifacts had told them, this weapon was to be built with expert craftmenship or not built at all. The tests on the barren planets had proven that this weapon had been built for one purpose and one purpose only. Complete annihlation. Hithesius knew building such a weapon was dangerous considering what would happen if some other race found out about it, but if he were to protect his people from the terrifying events to come he had to do this. The mysterious blue powder that powered it was like nothing the Thalans had ever seen before, just one little grain of it was enough to destroy an entire city! The samples were hard to find, after going to so many planets just to find a bag full of it he had began to wonder if there was a larger source of it. The thought of this amazed him.

Seargent Jenkins and his men had dug for about 2 hours and only found a small metal hut shaped object, half buried in the snow. That was all he saw, until one of his men saw a hatch. He opened it expecting some Yor to jump out, but saw the opposite. A bunch of destroyed,ripped, and sawed metal bodys layed strewn across the floor was what he saw, what he thought was that some human hostages must have worked out an escape plan. He entered with his men trailing close behind, he examined waht looked like an operating room or lab of some sort. He saw something move out of the corner of his eye, he readied his gun a moment after his men did. It popped out right in front of him and shocked him so much he was rapidly-breathing. He saw what appeared to be a human in a black suit, he looked further up and saw a glowing orange pair of goggles. The human had what looked like a artifical arm, neck, and foot. The menacing orange goggles stared right at him, "Hello, are you okay?" he asked. The human in a suit grabbed Jenkins neck with his robotic hand and wheezed out "Terran *cough* traitors!". About a dozen other people just like him jumped down, then more, and more, until the whole room was filled with them. The first shot was fired and all hell broke loose.


(A recovered picture of the humans with orange goggles)

The command center lost contact with invasion squad 3 minutes after thier last transmission. They had to assume it was a Yor ambush that killed them, it was the only explanationthey had. Alan Bradley wanted the exact story though, he wanted to know what those bastards were up to. So he decided to send the newly formed Special Operations Fleet to find out what happened. After all, it would be their first "Special Operation" as a whole team. And 30 minutes later, the rumbles of Special Operations Fleet's engines could be heard at the main starport on Earth. General Tarqin hadn't expected a mission this quickly, after all it hadn't even been a week since thier first mission. But he also expected something like this the whole time, after all this war was unpredictable. And ironically that's what made it predictable. He allowed him self to chuckle a little, then went back to his seat, he had a feeling he would spend many days in that seat.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: No this is not season 2's finale if thats what your'e wondering. However the next installment will be. Polis has a secret, the Thalans have a secret, and the Terrans are dead set on finding out what the Yor are up to. General Tarqin and Radar Operator 49 are bieng sent in to uncover "The Polis Mystery".

The galaxy is definetly not safe.
Chapter 9
"They Live"

"This is the U.S.S Star Grazer heading out to Polis, speed at maximum, fleet operational, and estimated time to arrival 1 hour." spoke the Radar Operator into his comm set. Radar Operator 49 didn't like being called by his rank, he prefered to be called by his real name. So he had decided mentally that he will be required to be referred to as Robert. But that din't matter right now, "General, I've pulled up the files you requested on the squad that was sent in." said Robert. General Tarqin looked over the files, Squad:Alpha334#, Leader:Seargent F. Jenkins, World of Operation:Polis, Estimated Time of Deaths:12:34AM Polis time, Cuase of Deaths:Unknown. The cuase of the death was for them to determine Genaral Tarqin recalled from his briefing, they also had orders to report any unusual findings if they encountered any. He looked out of the observation deck, millions of stars and planets is what he saw, and in the distance he knew a battle was going on.

"This is Polis Invasion fleet! We need immediate reinforcments now! Any Terran Royal Navy units respond!" the commander yelled into his transmitter. His fleet was in bad shape, they were definetly fighting a wildfire with a sponge. A large amount of cunfusion had ensued as soon as the first few ships went down, many had 0 visibilty due to the swarming and deadly mini-fighters. Not only did they have less forces, they were fighting blind as a bat, perfect, thought the commander. Somebody crackled over the commlink, "What...i-... you-...natu-... of...trouble?" somebody said. "We are currently overpowered by a Yor defensive fleet. Who is this?" he replied trying not to sound excited. "We are the Special Operations Fleet my friend, General Tarqin speaking..."

Kona was suprised to see the face of Hithesius on his communication screen, he had expected the Terrans in another one of there crys for peace. "We need to talk." said Hithesius in a urgent tone. "What do you and your puny ant colony want!" asked Kona in a angry voice,ignoring the insult Hithesius countinued "We require that you help the Terranssss conquer Polissss. There is a lot of money in it for you if you do assss i asssssk." "Hell no! Have you finally gone nuts? Why would we help those naive, stupid, and primitive humans?" he yelled in disbelief. "I sssupected you'd decline. What if I told you that Leo II was included as part of the deal?" Hithesius said calmly, Kona couldn't believe it, not only had he been offered an entire planet, but one only a 3 solar systems away from earth! He had to accept, "Okay il'l help the jelly-bags with there invasion attempt, but only on one condition." Kona stated, "I suspected there would be a catch." hithesius added quickly, "The one condition is that you reveal to us this new project your'e working on...". Hithesius agreed, after all, getting the precious blue powder was worth it. He would first allow the Terrans to leave with there ragtag fleets so no one would find out about the precious weapon. Anyone could be the "tainted black", and he wanted his people safe from the predicted menace, and the Drengins only asked to know about the project. He would tell them it was a superweapon project on Thala and leave it at that.

This is very bad,to say the least. I think as soon as Polis is conquered, the Tahlans will double-cross the Drengin, then go after the humans, then kill anyonw who's left. (Yes, I'm sadistic.)

Chapter 10
"Into the Belly of the Beast"

General Tarqin hated to admit it, but he was a little bit nervous about this Operation. Mini-Fighters were deadly, swift, quick, and made great kamikazi ships. He had never met one in his life and he was hoping it would stay that way. "Oh well..." he said quietly. "Sir what is our mission plan?" asked Radar Operator 49, he replied "Im going to come down in two groups, one will assist our buddies and the other will land on Polis to investagate, me and the U.S.S Star Grazer will be assisting in the space battle.". "Excellent plan si-... what the hell is that!" yelled the Radar Operator. "Attention, unknown ships have just hyperspaced to the battlezone, can we get a report on them?" asked Tarqin in a slightly alert tone. The Radar Operator gasped and said "My god they look like-"

Commander model T-3B surveyed the battle information on his holoscreen as Special Operations Fleet appeared on screen. Right after that what appeared to be Drengin ships entered the battle area. He attempted to commlink them but the connection was rejected. "Thats odd..." thought T-3B. Suddenly the drengin ships started firing on the mini-fighters! "What the hell is happening!" he yelled out in anger. A few seconds later a warning siren sounded, it indicated that the main research lab had been breached. But he was to busy to notice the warning light as he stared at the screen in disbelief.

Special Operations Fleet began their plan, Radar Operator 49 would oversee the land invasion while General Tarqin would oversee the space battle. The landing ships and escorts came into Polis'es atmosphere as fast and quiet as possible as the began their descent. And no less then 10 minutes later the ground operation was a go. "This is Operator 49 reporting in, ground assignment has begun, what is your status Star Grazer?." Operator 49 said into his commlink. Tarqin replied "This is Star Grazer, we are already rockin and rollin. What took you so long?". Radar Operator 49 ignored the last comment and started going towards what appeared to be a factory. His troopers were all with him, with the exception of the scout ships which were somewhere beyond there point. As he started his walk he saw something out of the corner of his eye, he backed up a few steps. Suddenly out of nowhere a large amount of laser fire hit his troopers, immediatly 4 of his men crumpled and fell onto the icy ground. "Open Fire!" he commanded. He then noticed the locations of the unidentifieds, one on a hill, 3 in snow camo, and 1 who just stood and watched it all happen. He took out his blaster and fired at the one standing still, it had no effect. Suddenly the target he tried to hit took out his blaster and hit him in the chest. He fell down and everything went black. He heard the words "Commander is down!" in the distance.

Up in space Tarqin was winning the battle. He was quite pleased with his progress so far. The Star Grazer had claimed about 120 kills in 30 minutes. But he reminded himself that since the Mini-Fighters were grouped close together and therefore easy to hit. Over the comm-link he heard "This is Special Forces ground fleet, we have taken a large amount of casualty's, commander is down!". "This is Tarqin speaking, get off that planet and head to my ship for docking. We will treat your injured here on the Star Grazer." Tarqin said. "Oh yes, im going to take them out using our cannons and anti-ground weapons, so try to leave promptly." he added. "Very well sir." the soldier replied. Just as the ground forces retreated the Star Grazer's artillery started hitting thier targets. The sight was spectacular. Almost all of Polise's structures and outposts were being annihalated in a matter of seconds! All of the men watched as the flames extended throughout the planet. But just as the explosions stopped, they started getting barraged by laser fire from unidentified ships. As Radar Operator 49 came around and saw the ships, he immediatly connected them to the unidentified humanoids that killed the first ground wave. And then connected the men who attacked them to the same people. Who the hell could they be?

Authors Note: Okey, the Drengin attacking an ally could only mean they are getting paid for it, the unidentified men are coming out of their shell, and 75% of the Yor army and it's structures on Polis have been eradicated by artillery from the Star Grazer and the other Terran capital ships in the vincinity. I don't want to ruin the story so you speculate at this point. Oh yes and what will become of Radar Operator 49.

Unidentified men are not to be trusted.

Chapter 11
"You, Me,and the Unidentified Men"

T-3B was overwhelmed by the warning lights in his Command Center, "Factory 34# destroyed, Mining Center 2# Damaged..." warned the computer. He simply didn't know what to do. But then he saw a warning light that tickled his interest, it said Main Research Lab Breached and Open. "Oh shit..." he said in anger, if he got out of this alive he was in deep trouble with High Command. "Command Center door breached..", T-3B took out his personal blaster, he would fight them to the last man. He heard his guards getting blown apart and awaited his enemy. A man in black suddenly kicked open the door and aimed his rifle at him, T-3B knew who it was immediatly. "Hello Research Subject, i'd like you to excecute order #12 please." he said nervously. The cyborg project had some problems, and his human research subjects sometimes did not obey orders even with the cyborg parts in them. "I refuse to follow any orders from any single thing in the galaxy. You my friend, are officaly screwed." the Research Subject replied. T-3B's fear had gotten to a point where even N-1's orders din't matter, he decided to try to bargain. "I can take you back to Earth! I can take you anywhere, just dont hurt me!" he cried out in fear. "Earth..." the unidentified man mumbled in a somewhat angry tone, "Whoever you are can you do me a favor?" asked the unidentified man. T-3B was suprised by his willingness to bargain and said "Of course what is it?". "Get me on a CommLink with GalacticTech Corporation please." he said. "Sure." replied T-3B.

Extended chapter 11, the problem is fixed.

Chapter 11.5
"You, Me, and the Unidentified Men"

Radar Operator 49 felt dizzy, confused, and battered. The last thing he remembered was the ship being attacked by the unidentified men, his eyes began to open. Above him he saw what he hoped was an illusion. It was the unidentified men, they were talking, one took his helmet off it almost looked like he was- no it couldn't be. The man who took his helmet off saw he was awake and put his helmet back on, "Hello my freind, do you mind telling me who you are and where you hail from?" the man asked. "I am Radar Operator 49, but my real name is Robert. Im a
Terran." he answered trying not to sound intimadated. Robert could have sworn he heard a angry growl from the man. "I have a associate on Polis contacting GalacticTech Corporation right this moment, we will be heading there Robert, we are going to make sure they deliver all the equipment. You will be our hostage from now on, got it?" the man asked. "Okey." Robert replied, not sure why they would want equipment from GalacticTech. He had a aching feeling he would soon find out.

Hithesius sat in his chair, he was awaiting a call from the Drengin any time soon. He was getting very nervous about the Prophecy the more he learned about it. The Prophecy now states that some form of dread, despair, and hate would be the ones who would taint the Pure of Heart into the Black ones. He shivered at the thought and abolished it from his thoughts. The CommLink then opened up with Lord Kona on Screen, "Alright you puny bugs tell us your grand secret you keep talking about or we will crush you all!" Lord Kona demanded, Hithesius decided that telling the Drengins they were building a weapon would only make them want it, so he told him something else slightly useful, "There is a planet not to far from earth called Leo II that has been kept a secret by the Terrans, its just out of range of Earths radar and defense systems making it the perfect planet to conquer. But it needs to be tooken over quickly and with stealth, on Leo II you can land all your forces and stage your assualt from there." Hithesius informed Kona. Kona got excited by this news and said "Well then Hithesius, I have some new matters to take care of then. See you in a few weeks." . " Very well then Kona." Hithesius said with great resentment, they are so simple and barbaric he thought, well hopefully they would soon be eradicated.

"GalacticTech Corporation chairman speaking." said Chairman John Hotaling. "This is a private orginazation that would like to request some militaristic equipment and ships for our use." said the man on the other line. "Okey what do you request?" asked John. "Well we will need about 300 Arcean Gunboat-1's, approximatly 500,00 Yor MF-1's(Mini-Fighters), 120 Commander class Terran Capital ships with space to ground artillery attachments, 300 Hornet class Terran Fighters, 100 pounds of Zycoduim, and 3 Planet class Drengin Capital Ships will do fine." said the man on the other line. John, a little suprised by this large order said "I could get you all that except the Zycoduim, that is a very rare mineral that can only be found on a few planets in small quantities." he said. "That is ok, i have my own sources said the man on the other line. "Ok whoever you are, I will send it to your location..." John said. "No thats ok i'll pick it up at your home ship yard."he said. "Ok then." replied John. "Ok T-3B." said the man, "You are no longer of use to me, i will tie you up to this chair and drop a very large bomb on this facility so all evidence is eradicate, do you understand?" the man said to T-3B, he didn't wait for a reply. "Good.", he then left T-3B tied to his chair and went to his ship.
