A/N : Okay, I'll improve the prologue. This chappie will be extended. Now my top priority is this story.

Disclaimer : I don't own the Unreal Tournament, the first and the third. I do own my plot and the pilots.

Prologue : The Downing of Oblivion

The ITV Oblivion, the Liandri cargo vessel which was sometimes used for the UT Deathmatch, was flying on maximum warp to Earth from planet Taryd. They were transporting the Tarydium from planet Taryd.

That ship was boarded by 15 humans, 2 pilots, 5 engineers and 8 guards, and also by 4 Corrupt members, Syntax, Torque, Lilith, and OSC. These Corrupt robots were ordered to guard the Oblivion in case if it was under attack by high-advanced space marauders.

"Attention. We are 1000000 meters from Earth." Said the pilot which piloted the Oblivion that time.

"Hey, Dennis, the others says that you're going to be in the Oblivion when the first Deathmatch begin. Congratulations." Said the other pilot who was resting on the seat next to the first pilot.

"Congratulations? What do you mean? I don't like watching those peoples fighting to their death. It really creep me out. Well, you can always replace me if you want, Riker."

"Nah. I don't want to waste my life just to watch one of the match of that famous tournament. I don't even know why it was famous. For me, it's just a bloody tournament. You remember Leon? He got blasted by a rocket when one of the combatants missed his target. It was lucky that god saved his life, in exchange of his right leg, of course. Now he uses robotic leg to replace his right leg."

"It's good that Liandri men still have their brains not to add a redeemer on the Oblivion, otherwise, the number of casualties will be 10 pilots per year"

Both the pilots laughed, until Dennis fell off his chair and Riker had to replace him until he could get his feet back.

"Hey Dennis, if you fell off while flying a vessel, it would crash on an asteroid or collide with other ships."

They weren't aware, none of them was aware, that a squadron of battleships was about to intercept them. Until…

"Dennis! My scanner detected a large squadron of war vessels, coming this way!" Yelled Riker in fear.

"What kind species boarding those of vessels?" Asked Dennis. Riker took sometime to scan the ships, and finally he got the result. But as Riker read the scanner, he wished he had never run some bioscan on the ship.

Seeing his friend's expression, Dennis asked him, "Riker? What is it?"

Riker turned around slowly, then answered with a whisper.

"Skaarj."

Ten seconds later, the Skaarj vessels fired their torpedoes on the Oblivion's warp engine, forcing it to drop out of warp, then some of their shuttles began to come closer and closer to the Oblivion's airlocks.

The guards were alerted as they felt the ship shaking, but even with their state, they were no match of the so-called Skaarj Berserkers. One by one, they fell to the ground as the Berserker impaled them with the Raziks, the well-known Skaarj Warriors long claw-like blades which were mounted on the wrist.

The Corrupt began to fire their heavy weapons, but all of the rockets, shells, and plasmas were absorbed by the energy shields which were erected by the Skaarj Troopers. Suddenly, all of them were sliced and diced by some Assassin from behind.

The Pilots were warming the escape pods up, while the Skaarjs were busy collecting the Tarydium. As the pods were ready, they launched it and went to warp before the Skaarjs follow them.

After the Oblivion was completely empty, the Skaarj Battleships fired their weapons on the ITV and blasted it into pieces. The only remains of the ship was debris and a blackened and ruined version of the Oblivion which crash landed on a nearby asteroid.

The Pilots successfully made it to Earth in one piece. But they were still thinking about what they're going to say to the Liandri.

"Earth, at last. But now how are we gonna tell the Liandri, and the N.E.G.?" asked Dennis, worried.

"We tell them, that the Skaarj are invading Earth, again."

Every living species on Earth were soon panicked as the news of the Skaarj Empire invading Earth had spread wide. Earth was filled with fear. Every Earth Defense Force troopers throughout the planet were preparing themselves for the worst ever imagined.

Xan looked at the city from the Liandri Tower. He saw many people running without direction. Some of them were screaming "We're gonna die! We're gonna die!". If Xan was a Human, he would've taken a deep breath, but the fact that he is a Cybernetic didn't allowed him to do such thing. Still, he was designed to think like a human, and a bit robotic of course.

"N.E.G. cannot take on the Skaarj forces on their own. Even with the help of the Axon Research Corporation, they would never stop Skaarj from enslaving every last Human on Earth." He paused a little while thinking of a way. Since his A.I. was advanced, it only took 2 or 3 seconds before he came up with a bold plan. "There's only one thing to do now." He continued. "Matrix." The fully armed Cybernetic Xan just called stepped in.

"Yes, Kriegor?"

"Cancel the Tournament. We're going to form a military force."

"With what?"

"The Tournament combatants. Let them come here, and we will enlist them as Liandri's own troopers."

"As you command." With that, Matrix stepped to the teleporter and vanished into thin air. Xan stepped into a locker and unlocked it. Inside it, was a Flak Cannon and 2 Enforcer Machine Pistol

"This is our only answer for the invasion. We are going to stop this or be eliminated."

A/N : How was that? Review please!

The Corrupt names were taken from the UT3, but Xan and Matrix hava already existed in the first UT.
