A whish of eternal war
Collin lee is a boy, well that depends on how he is born into the world. He made a wish for a dream come true. To live in the beginnings of war and to win them no matter what side he fights on and to die to pass on to another world that is encroaching or is at war, to be slain to get sent to another world.
Every war won or loss he becomes more powerful and closer to what many to believe god level.
But war after war, he realise that his wish was nothing more than a curse to be trapped in eternal conflict, so war after war his power grew, war after war his collection of weapons, war machines and souls that came with them grew, war after war, a happy child in a dream come true became a man or women who realised the curse that transformed him into a cold merciless killer.
War after war he had one single objective, eliminate all possibilities to start wars in their prelude state towards it, and during war, find a side that will keep the peace and keep everyone happy and bring that war to a quick end.
If the combatants are as bad as each other then he would force to rule and make sure that peace will be fought for. After that, live out that life as happily as he could as he so foolish threw away with that wish. That simple harmless wish to want to live in eternal war and bring glory to whatever side he was on, to enjoy the wanton destruction. He was such a stupid foolish boy to wish for a curse to be forever dammed to live a life that will experience never ending war.
Where he is now is just the same as all the other times, a war of survival, fighting against an alien horror that wish to destroy everything in this current galaxy, he fights with all the spices of this galaxy at his back to face this threat, and they were winning, by god they were winning, well he was winning.
This galaxy tech level was primitive compared to the invaders, without him to boost their tech by dare he say with 'magic' they were able to stand a chance and because of his feat of accomplishments and prowess and stupendous amount of power, he accidental turned whole galaxy's inhabitants into spiritualist now they praised him as their war god or goddess, oh how much he hated that he was still human he was just really powerful had abilities like no other, but if it meant getting them to follow him to end the war he shall allow it for this was a matter that needed to be put down.
They were in the final days of war, how he knew was anyone's guess, it could be the fact he developed a sense to tell the prelude or the coming of the end of war, right now though this was the final show, the final fight, the end of this war, he knew they would win, he always wins in this stage of the war, this was where he would be the sword that ends the war that would be known as the 'CORE CRISIS'. An armada of the whole galaxy fleet was waiting for their war god to signal the beginning of the battle that end the war and would bring them peace and bring about a new era for a golden age.
On his flag ship the 'Sword Of Victory' a 17km long 5km height and 4km width the first transcendent class dreadnought, armed to the teeth with a main gun that was a super laser, 10 high powered lesser super lasers, thousands of missile pods and point defence guns, a hundred other planet busting kinetic turrets, a vast complement of bomber and fighter wings of all classes and the ship also carried 5 2.3km heavy frigates that acted as force recon and an escort, yes this ship was added to his personal Armory slash soul slash inner world. His ship was the tip of the spear
Sitting on a command chair was a figure dress in what looked to be high tech power armour (for reference imagine a halo 4 orbital armour set only replace the helmet with Emil's Eva skull helm why because I'm too lazy to even bother describing what Collins favourite armour is it coloured in bone white with red and gold accents) this was Collins lee, god of war of the united core galaxy, and supreme commander of the core army, navy, and air force.
He is also a leader of his own special slash personal guard slash overpowered slash elite fighting force of warriors who have given up their life to serve their god and their stellar government, they themselves who have been personally selected by Collin or his top warriors.
This force is divided up into 5 sections on his entire flag ship. Section 1 which was himself and his veterans made up of the best of the best of all sections in terms of fighting prowess. Section 2 was made up infiltrators and intelligence officers along with saboteurs and assassins, they are the eyes and ears of all sections. Section 3 is the medical, engineering, and logistical of the section, they ran the ship and fixed all of its problems, they even have an infinity forge courtesy of Collins, and just as the name suggest it came make anything. Section 4 is the air wing of the ship along with the escort frigates. Section 5 is a force solely made up of ground fighting personnel, they hold all the heavy and light armour units to heavy to light infantry in all divisions. That was what the sword of victory held, this was Collins own personal fighting force.
Collin viewed the holographic real time tactical display map, it showed the last enemy planet their fleet numbering a good million ships plus all other orbital platforms and planetary weaponry,
Then there was his force, when you have the entire galaxy backing you all you can really say is that have what close to what is a billion of fighting ships and a few hundred transport ships. Victory would be won today.
And that made Collins disappointed, he seen this so many times, there was no joy for ending a war for another one will come along, it may take a couple of decades or even a century or two, no matter how many wars he ends another will always come after it, this is his eternal war that he wished for, he can only savour the peace that happens in between them while they last, and after this is over and done with, he will savour this peace like a dragon with its stolen treasure.
"Drex" Collin called out to a bug looking alien who was head of the coms on the sword, Drex turned to his god and bowed respectfully
"yes my lord" he said, the chatter on the bridge died down all were waiting eagerly for their god to command them no matter what it may be, just serving under him was a blessing for him to say your name was an honour more so than talking directly to him
"It is time" with a smooth motion Drex connected every single communication device be it a troopers radio or phone all would here their war god, he would give them one command, 'attack'
"The fleet is awaiting your command" hearing Drex Collin rose from his seat and made his way through holograph and to a railing which showed all of the command bridge
"my brothers and sister in arms, never before have we been so united as one, never before have faced a common threat, but on this very battle, this war will end, I promise you all this, at the very end of this day the war will be over, and from it we shall cry in joy for its end, we shall cry for all those who have died, we shall cry for the peace that we have fought for. Let us remember them, for their action have made us who we are, we will never forget those who have taken them. History is written by the victors, let us show these mongrels the error of their way. We didn't start this war but will finish it. After it was clear that they were losing we gave them a choice to live, but time and time again they continue to destroy us, they think themselves grater, they think us as primitive, weaklings. They have shown us that will not rest until we are all dead or until they are, solders of the Core do not hold back, this is the final fight." Collin could feel every soul in the fleet roaring for the fight every man and women from all species were grinding at the bit to fight all that left was their god's final command
"Our enemy have left us with only one option. My command is to search and destroy, you are to have no quarter for they will not surrender they will fight to the end. Attack, solders of the Core Galaxy begin your assault." The sound of wars cry's filled the com channels cheers of defiance roars of rage, the fleet was finally ending this long bloody war that had ravaged their galaxy and those responsible died this day.
The engines came to life at all ahead full as the sword of victory lead the charge, it was symbolic as you could get it, the largest ship in this galaxy's history leading a flying V towards the enemy's lines, from small hundred meter covets and the heavy battleships to the fighter passing the bomber. Oh yes it was glorious
"My lord we are in range" Vance he was the head of the weapons officers on the sword who coordinated all the other weapon officer's fire he was a legit space elf
"Fire the main cannon and tell the other ships to stay out of our lane of fire" yes the super laser or also known as the mk40PC planet cracker, it fired and concentrated superheated direct light so powerful that it was able to crack the crust and pierce the core of any planet at full power, it was a very scary weapon
"Attention all ships this the sword of victory, we are firing the planet cracker in t-minus 40 seconds"
Oh yeah the ship with such a powerful laser and forge also needed a lot of power, lucky though the ship was being powered by 4 Steller generators, they were basically small artificially stars that had Dyson Sphere constructed around them, one was needed for the engines another for the infinity forge and the last two was were the ammo for the super laser came from
"Attention all ships the sword of victory is firing the planet cracker in 10"
On the outside of the ship the super laser charging sequence became visible

Lines leading to the bow of the ship were lighting up

Colour of the laser was a royal gold showing a display of divine power

The power of the deadly laser was amassing at the tip of the barrel as partials began to form, condense energy was balling up and seemed to be sucking in streaks of light

1
And in one instant that deadly ball of gold light was released upon those who brought it wrath, the golden laser cut through if not atomised all that was dumb enough to get in its way, and hundred alien ships of all shapes and sizes were melted from the passing laser, many larger ships were cut in half and the smaller ones just ceased to exists at that point in time.
That was just the first shot, soon a billion more followed in its wake
Standing at the railing on the bridge Collins just watched with a bored expression, to him it was just a different scene from the same movie that he has watched over and over again, he just happened to be watching the director's cut
"And thus, the battle begins…again"
Collin made his way to the personal lift to the forwarded bow hanger bay
"Helm place the sword in orbit over the capital of the planet. XO has the ship"
Not bothering to respond to the 'yes my lord' Collin was already in the lift heading the hanger were he would jump from the ship and down to the planet bellow. As the doors opened the hanger was in full view, ignoring the sounds of battle and the roaring of jets of all types Collin stood at the very edge of the ship. Two with gold portals opened up on each side of him that led to his armoury, moving his hand into them he pulled out two swords of legends, one sword that chose who were worthy of wielding it in battle no matter how dire it may be, it only appointed those worthy enough to use its full power through good intentions, it would cleans despair and shine hope. And the other was made to stop those who threaten life its self, a sword that grants the owner with absolute power, forged from hopes and dreams of all souls of all who dreamed of it, a beautiful sword, a sword of Promised victory.
Yes they were Caliburn and Excalibur, holy swords of the mightiest calibre they were heavily modified by him to be the best, if he swang them at full power well say bye, bye to this galaxy, how Collin acquired them well that was a story for another time, it was very long just like all the wars he fought in
Strapping Excalibur to his back magnetic locks he held Caliburn in his right.
Gazing upon the space battle who could see many tracers from ship fire or from fighter wings in their dogfights, many explosion and deaths of ships as they go done.
Collin leaned forward letting his body tilt over the edge until then he fell.
Collins body was rushing past ships, fighters, wreckage and stations and many other projectiles and ordnances from many other things. Looking back at his ship he could see that sections 1, 2, parts of 3, 4, and 5 were lunching from the sword. And like loved struck puppy's they all came chasing after him, the site made him smirk they were all so eager to please him and show off.
"Were do you think you're going Mr. War god" the voice was a young deep voice followed by a more feminine voice.
"Well it can't be the poor unsuspecting inhabitants of this world, could it?"
'There was no mistaking it, if those two were here than other two are also with them' Collins thought
"Helix you know full well I hate being referred to as a god, and Mira I highly dought this planet people are unsuspecting." Collins turned his body fully to see his fellow section leaders and were his students to a certain degree.
Sections 2 leader of the intelligence branch was Helix Tijen a Linnix, for a much simpler description fury's, he was fox kind with the red fur ears and tail plus green eyes, helix wore a armour set that meant to be light and flexible allowing for precise aerodynamic movement, it even came with cloak ability. His weapons weren't visible due to the fact he was taught by Collins to use magic and other forms of powers that he learnt from his war path life style. The boy mainly preferred lighting based magic and percussion energy beams
Section 3 leader who was called the sword of victory's second owner and very dedicated doctor if not mother hen of the ship, her skill in the med bay was just as skilled in combat, her armour was a hybrid form of medium and light armour, her hip packs carried medical equipment while on her thighs were visible PDWs, two Plasma Disintegration Weapons, and a plasma beam sword on her back pack which carried more supply's, she was the swords greatest combat medic. She was known as Mira Grong a Henna they were a beings of pure energy that could form into whatever form they desire, right now she was in a humane form red hair eyes to match and a brownish tan, her figure was well-built with some visible muscle, and the two things on her chest made every male species and sometimes female all to have some blood run from their noses, were looking at a soled double D maybe higher
Section 4 leader was someone who didn't really need much explanation, his name is Dacono Bel Kon of the Bel Kon clan, his species were heavily based in clan like traditions, but his species were known as void stalkers, to humans they were known as "space dragons" which the galactic community finds amusement in especially the void stalkers. They moved their entire territory near humane space just to see the fantasy and legends that the humans made around dragons, and the void stalkers fit the bill if you would say, Dacono's clan were a special type of void stalker as they all had the ability to tap into the cosmic energies of stars making them have solar powers, appearance wise they all look the same but to tell them apart would be in their eyes and tail shape, Dacono was about the size of a heavy bomber, he was considered a youngling at the age of 739 which was typical 15 year old, his bright yellow like scales and oranges eyes showed all his confidence and eager like nature.
Section 5 leader was a female natural artificial intelligence in an android body, her name was XVIL-12 or more commonly known as Veil standing at 6,5ft with a bust to rival Mira, the android had violet hair reaching her but and steal grey eyes that had lines of code running through them, she was equipped in an heavy juga-nought armour meant to tank just about anything smaller than a light frigates standard issue weapon load, she was another of the section leaders who learnt magic from Collins, she specifically asked to be taught how to use his armoury technique, and now she has her own armoury of all of the cores galaxy's most advance technologies at her figure tips.
"hahaha, oh this battle shall be sung in all of clan Bel Kon's great feasts." Dacono huge form was just swooped by and in a flick of his trident like tail an enemy fighter was bisected. The dam lizard was probably the youngest minded combatant on the field, but his power and speed make up for it.
"Current tactical data shows the enemy leader is aware of us descending towards the capitol, mass amount of ground forces have been shifted to counter us and our sections." Veil said in a monotone voice, it was always like that in battle but when she's off the field she seems to behave like a Liberian
Still there were all children when compared to Collins, the very thought of trying to fight him is a waking nightmare, the only reason why they were section leaders was his stupendously difficult 99.9999% fatal training. They would never question him in any fight or even try to fight him for he doesn't fight just for the heck of it.
He will analyse his opponents fighting style by leaving large openings at all angles to let them think he is weak when really he strong, and once he seen everything they are capable of, he will immediately destroy them, fast quick and precise, always aiming to kill even if the enemy doesn't realise that they been killed.
"Then I guess I will soften up the welcoming party" at his words the other four section leader discreetly moved out of his way, he moved Caliburn into attack position, the sword was then glowing gold light as it was being fed massive amount of power to unleash upon its wielders enemy's.
"CA"
The section leaders stared at their teacher and leader in awe in their own ways but it was all the same to Collin, every time he was about to announce his holy swords name it always meant an strike was coming, the sword shown even brighter making itself into a mini star, the light gave its allies a sense of assurances that everything would be fine as well a sense of warmth, when they gaze upon the source they can only feel these feelings enhance
"LI"
When the enemy see this light they as well fell its effects but, they instead feel a guilt, a wrongness in their fighting, all those they kill would make it worse, they would only find despair in their acts, but they could feel some feeling of redemption of staring at the light as it would momentarily stun them in awe and wonder, it was a beautiful light
"BURN"
With the swing of the sword arm the mass condensed form of light was unleashed, it was a massive cresset form making its way to the planet below streaking pass many things and cleaving all in its way to the afterlife, nothing could stop it, but if anyone knew that it was just a small fraction of its power than the full blast would destroy half the galaxy
As the beam of light raced to the planet below then eventually disappearing from site, it didn't take long for it to hit the surface, the blast was very visible as you know its pure gold light
"Good job killer, you just destroyed the entire capitol and the ground forces, now who are we going to blow up down there a tree?" helix complained and Dacono could only feel the same to him while Mira wondered why the intel hidey assassin leader even cared about wanting to fight a giant force.
"Well at least I will have less patients to patch up" Mira mumbled lowly.
PLANET SIDE
The capitol for a lack of a better description was essentially. A crater, one big blackened crater, there was no life at all zip none kah-flew ee, and everything was on fire
The 5 section leaders were bummed due to the fact that the very person that they wanted dead for starting this entire war was missing from the atomised corpse. The enemy leader was still at large and the alien beings location was unknown, he could be anywhere on the planet or maybe he wasn't on planet and somewhere else, but he wasn't, Collins could still sense his essence on planet, he turned to address his trusty android comrade
"Veil how's the fight upstairs going"
"Our forces are still engaged but have taken some losses but not as bad as the enemy force as they are down by 42% combat effectiveness, they will have the entire planet blocked at the end of the month as there are still major pockets of resistance" those were good odds
"Helix dose the enemy channel indicating anything"
"Well some of my guys have locations for holdouts all over the planet which Dacono's and veils section are taking care of along with the other regular Core forcers. Part from that nothing worth our attention." Well that's boring here they were final fight of the war and there was nothing for them to do
Collins just sighed I mean after all there was very little for his students to do, I mean they could go around the world and help clean up the pockets of resistance speed the end up more quickly but-
Something just happened as if a shudder of invisible energy just pass by, he could tell there was something wrong, a slight feeling of dread unnerved him, atmospheric temperatures, Ozone layers and biospheres were being affected and not in a good way
Collin body tense as he honed his sense
A gravitational disturbance was detected emanating from the south pole of the planet, it felt like an unrelenting consuming force that was being kept at bay. Possible by a gravitonic containment field, the disturbance was growing very fast, its range of effect was growing rapidly, its aura was already reaching towards the outskirt territory of the Core galaxy and kept going, he felt if the field wasn't in place than this planet would have been destroyed by the anomaly
"Sword of victory this is section 1 lead, I need a senor sweep of the South Pole area of the planet can you confirm"
The response from the ship was immediate but oddly it was garbled
"c-nfirm we –er descti-g a –gravitational anomaly –mitating 300 h-ndred metters below the -enter of the p-e, advise –vacution, un-ably fluc-ations detected"
That is not good at all, if his sense and instincts were correct-
"Recall all sections and ground force immediately, all sections lead will deal with anomaly"
"affi-tive recalling –ound forces"
With the channel cut Collin turned to his fellow
"While our forces evacuate we have the job of finding the anomaly and shutting it down"
Without further due Collin swiped his right hand down in a tearing motion as a literal tear in time and space occurred, the black ominous space was gushing little particles out but dissipated before too long
Running in one by one the whole team vanished into the portal before the portal itself closing in on itself
SOUTH POLE
A rip in time and space broke into existences in a large corridor of alien make, Collin and his team come out with weapons raised checking the permitter for any hostiles in the area,
Seeing no enemy's in the area the team relaxed but still on alert as they were in enemy territory.
Closing his eyes and spreading his sense Collin found the location for the primary anomaly, he felt it, the sense of dread was welling up, and it consuming feeling was strong
"let move out our objective is close, watch those coroners and look out for hidden emplacements"
As team moved as quietly and quickly as they could they came upon many patrols, some of them were quickly dissipated while others where avoided never the less.
Unfortunately the corridor was hampering their progress mainly for Dacono because of his size the environment that they in forced him on all fours as well as keeping as cramp as possibly as the halls were a tight fit but he soldered on
After many encounters with patrols tight corners and a cargo lift ride down to the lower levels the team finally stumbled upon the prizes however it was behind a blast door with heavy troop displacement.
"so how should we do this" Mira stated looking around the corner of where their merry gang where scheming behind
"well for once we could go in guns blazing though it would probably force them to unleash whatever is behind that door upon us" Collin understood that from helix, whatever the anomaly was it influence was already reaching the centre of the galaxy. Whatever this doomsday weapon was they had to stop it as quick as possible but it need to be done effectively.
He could see that there many sensor posts with specify functions mostly to counteract his powers of stealth in many different forms, he couldn't help himself but to impressed with the technology that they created to counter his skills and adapt strategy's to kill him whenever he entered a combat zone, same things happened to those who he trained to wield his power in their own way. It's too bad he had to end their spices existence. But in the end they just another race to be ended by him, another faction to dismantle, another opponent to kill, another dark spot to add to his soul, another reminder about his curse in disguise of a wish.
Returning to the task at hand he found a flaw in the security network that was between his students and their target.
