Mars system front line sector two
----------------------------------------------------
“Huge vessels detected!” someone screamed over the radio.
“Ground command to all units; we read power build-ups within those vessels, open fire,” ground command ordered.
“Roger. Bomber squadrons eight through thirteen engage; we will hold them off your backs for as long as we can,” a gruff stressed voice said.
“Eight leader here we are moving out. They're everywhere. We already lost Jenkins, Ryan, Jake and Thomson. We need-!” Eight leader screamed and his transition cut out as his bomber burst into flames, spun out of control and detonated.
----------------------------------------------------
“To any allied ships in the area, we are under attack by an unknown assailant. we're being ripped to pieces, if anyone can hear this please respond!” A human shouted desperately over the radio.
“Human forces do you read?” Soraka replied.
“Thank God…we need help in the Mars system, we can’t hold. Our forces have already scattered. We can’t let the civilian population come to harm,” the human replied.
“ETA two minutes hold on,” Soraka said.
Soraka nodded to a Lizarian who was at the controls.
“Hold tight,” Soraka said. A large jolt shook the ship, and then it seemed to go into a sharp turn, almost making me slide across the room before evening out again. I straightened up again. Soon after, we dropped out of the rift. A large planet was sprawled out in front of us. The planet was just a bit smaller than earth, had three cotinents and several vast oceans. The land was a tartan of grey, green, white and brown. The planet was almost totally built up with only pockets of greenery, mountains and deserts remaining. The rest was one grey sheet.
“Sir strong anomalous readings coming from locations on the planets surface. One is coming into view now,” the female Lizarian at the sensor controls said. Slowly a large charged black area the size of England came into view on the surface.
“Further scans reveal it to be a crater of some kind…wait…sir eight other signals detected on the surface,” the Lizarian said.
“Who could have done such a thing?” Soraka asked standing up. I shrugged; not knowing the answer.
“Sir atmosphere scans reveal immense levels of planet wide radiation over three million above the craters,” she added.
“The Humans?” Soraka asked.
“Gone…everything’s gone,” the female answered slowly, looking over at us with a look of shock on her face. She was small and looked rather young. She was very thin but not thin enough for it to be unhealthy, and had a small scar just above her left eye.
“Two minutes ago they were alive…what could have destroyed everything in two minutes?” I asked. Soraka shrugged. A small red bolt flew speedily past the window.
“The Vorag military. That’s who,” a voice said calmly over the radio. Suddenly out of nowhere the space around our ship was filled with hundreds of other small fighter size ships, and a single massive one was directly ahead. The ship ahead of us was at least three times as big as us. It was a long thin stretched kite shape. The sides of the ship were bristling with missile tubes. There was a small pyramid on top of the ship I guessed it was the bridge. The front half of the ship was over saturated with missile tubes and the read was full of windows.
“Sir over three hundred contacts detected,” a male from behind me shouted.
“Who are you?” I asked bitterly.
“We are the ones who will reclaim our rightful place as dominating race of this galaxy,” the voice continued. “The Ancestors attacked us in cold blood murdering countless millions. They are the real murderers. They destroyed our home planet and forced us into a nomadic life. Warring clans fought over the last scraps of usable land that was at least uncontested by the Ancestors. After the Ancestors disappeared we banded together and hid fearing they would come back. We came together and as the galaxy evolved once more. We silently built up an armada capable of making us the dominant race, and as revenge we will kill every last Lizarian let them go through the genocide their ancestors forced on us!”
“Shields up prepare for combat!” Sorak ordered sitting back down quickly.
“Combat?” the voice asked laughing. “Look around, you can’t honestly think you can survive,”
“Why are we fighting the Ancestors time was long ago? Old grudges should wither and die not be continued by descendants,” Soraka said calmly.
“No we want revenge,” the voice replied.
“Why? You don’t need to. Many races have flourished since the time of the Ancestors who will be more than willing to help you. There is no need for senseless bloodshed,” I said confidently.
“See the craters on the planet?” it asked.
“Yes,” I replied slowly
“An Ancestor weapon was used to make them. The Ancestors used the very same weapon to murder our ancestors and destroy our planet. We control all three of them. There will be no stopping us!” it replied sounding angry.
“Please come to your senses; war can still be averted,” I said
“Incompetent Human…we aren’t being forced into a war we want war! Now live with it or should I say die! All units open fire!” the voice shouted. Suddenly red bolts were flying left and right and being absorbed by the shield. When a bolt hit it cased a small blue, green and red. Circular shockwave to spread out from the point of impact; it would have looked rather nice if it want so unnerving. Large black cylinders exploded out of the huge battleship and sped at us. Flairs spurted out from our ship causing the missiles to go out of control some of them even hit their own ships; most just flew off.
“As we fight a storm heads towards Lizaria. A storm that will sweep away all in its passing,” the voice said unnervingly.
“Get us out of here,” Soraka ordered. The ship lurched forward as the engines activated. A rift opened to the side of the enemy battleship. We flew past it; it was so close I felt I could reach out and touch it. A moment later the rift consumed us. The sight out of the window was a mesh of blue and white; it looked like we were going through a tunnel. Soraka tapped a few things into his control panel in the left arm of his chair
“Lizaria home fleet this is Commander Soraka initiate maximum alert I repeat maximum alert,” Soraka ordered.
“This is General Sheatha. Soraka, you don’t have the authority to initiate maximum alert, what’s going on?” Sheatha asked.
“All due respect General we just got attacked by a huge amount of ships claiming to want war on Lizaria. They destroyed all the Humans soldiers and civilians alike in the Mars system, and have possession of an unknown planet killing weapon,” Soraka explained.
“Planet killing? It can’t be done. Do I have to remind you of the failed P.A.W project?” The General asked.
“No sir but maximum alert must be initiated. If they don’t come today they will come within the week,” Soraka said.
“Soraka maximum alert will n-” The General began.
“Maximum alert will be initiated, I overheard your conversation Soraka,” A third genital, feminine voice interrupted.
“As you wish my princess General Sheatha out,” Sheatha said.
“Thank you princess what do you propose we do?” Soraka asked sounding relived.
“We need to gather more information on this new enemy. Soraka I want you to do that, Weapons, capabilities anything. You leave in three hours,” The princess ordered.
“As you wish my princess,” Soraka replied.
