Fight to the Last
The cannons haven't been fire yet.
Commander what level should we be ready for?
Prepare the shields at Level 10 energy and ready the cannons at 5.3
What's this? We're picking up a visual at an unknown part of the galaxy.
It's most likely undetected humans, focus on the energy level.
Yes sir…we're ready to fire.
Suddenly a mile long beam streaks towards the ship impending the shield around it, all is thrown about inside.
Shit, that was Level 20 sir. If they fire again we may not be able to withstand the next blast.
Respond with the neutral cannons.
The beam goes off into the universe but no sound is heard.
There seems to be no damage caused by our respond sir.
Very well, bring out the big cannon and ready at 12.56
If it doesn't work again commander then what will we do?
May god have mercy on us wherever he is?
As the big cannon was prepared a beam twice the size of the previous came at the ship ripping through it like paper.
Commander! What are we going to do?
It was a stroke of luck we were chosen to go.
Claude if you can hear me forgives me!
A nearby explosion rocks the planet of expel.
Claude looks up at the sky and prays his father is alright.
Oh father, I won't let you down…I won't let you down.
