Around the world, people watched and cheered as the Star Destroyer fell slowly to its destruction. However, the tide of the battle was turned, but it was not over.
Ensign Adson Cadwell of The Imperial Navy, or Captain Drake Mattars of Alliance Intelligence ran towards the nearest escape pod as alarms blared. All personal had been instructed to return to there quarters, so he saw no one. He made it into a escape pod and ejected it, hoping that nobody would notice. He had been instructed not to interfere with the young worlds development in any way unless it was absolutely necessary. His plan was to lay low and contact the rebellion and hopefully get extracted. "Let me get out of here and back to the civilized galaxy, please,"He prayed to whoever was listening.
There were cheers in the makeshift bridge as the Silencer fell slowly down to earth. Will only happily smiled, said a few words, and walked out of the room with Alison in tow. Once the door was closed, Alison embraced him,"Thank you, she murmured." Will hadn't hugged anyone except family members before. Did she like him. Well he had a crush on her. He had had a crush on her since they had met at the academy. Maybe he would persue a relationship with her.
Every Imperial ship had been destroyed or disabled. However, earth had still lost half of its vessels, including flagship, the USS Excalibur, one frigate, three corvettes, and 25% of earth's starfighters. Earth had still captured four ships including one vindicator class heavy cruiser, one nebulon-b frigate, and two Arquitens class command cruisers. The Star Destroyer Silencer had crash landed in southwest Pakistan and survived intact. Unfortunately, it meant that over 3\4 of the crew were alive. This was a job for Major Jason Rathers. He was a young, daring officer in the Earth Space Defence Marines. His family had a history in the force, his grandfather was the first responder to the Ghetto, the light freighter that crashed in Roswell NM.
He was on the first transport to the Silencer. Once they got out he and some other soldiers were met with blaster fire from stormtroopers. His M420B projectile blaster rifle was firing in seconds. Using high density artificial gases, which could be produced on the battlefield with special machines, the rifle turned the gas into solid blaster bolts that made stormtrooper armor as protective as linin. The stormtroppers fell in seconds, however there victory was short lived. One of the few turbolasers that was still operational began firing at them. "SPLIT UP, GET COVER" yelled Jason as the turbolaser began to decimate his troops. Most of his soldiers were killed quickly, the ground where they were turned into holes of dirt. Suddenly, the hum of sublight engines could be heard. Air support. There were cheers as 3 SF-70 starfigters emerged and fired concussion missiles at aggressive the turbolaser battery. The battery was heavily damaged and inoperable.
Three days later, after bitter bloodshed, the fighting was almost over. A few desperate crewmen and stormtroopers were still holding the area near the bridge. "Get a grenade yelled Major Rathers." A earth soldier fired a grenade from a rifle mounted grenade launcher, killing the remaining imperial personnel defending the bridge. The earth soldiers busted into the bridge of the ship. Hands up! Put your weapons down! The surviving imperials surrendered and were taken as POWs.
For several days Drake Matters camped out about 30 miles from the crash site. He had salvaged everything of value and camped out in a cave. He had stolen a long range communication array from the Silencer and tried to contact the Alliance but there were a few faulty wires, noting major. However, the wires took longer to fix than expected. Soon he sent a message the Alliance Intelligence but didn't get a response until later that day. The array beeped signaling that a message was incoming. When he opened the up, he saw the familiar face of General Airen Cracken, the chief of intelligence for the Alliance. "Captain, what happened to you. I'm fine, well I'm actually stuck on earth.
Just days ago, Will Johnson was a young chief engineer on the destroyer USS Aurora. Now he was a hero, a legend whose strategy and tactics had saved earth. After the death of Admiral Garrison, he had been promoted to rear admiral. He now stood in his new quarters watching the the activity below at the Academy. The headquarters was near the Academy, and from his quarters he got an amazing view. His attention was caught by the doorbell ringing. "Enter" he replied to the hail. Yanyon Yongyang, a top level aide of his, entered. "Sir, you have to see this."
On March 21st, 2021, history was made. It started when, at a emergency meeting between top world leaders, the Chinese President Gang Do was quoted saying "We must rise up to defend earth as earth, not as individual nations." That sentence created an international movement: to create one nation, to unite. In hours almost every nation had jumped in and a constitution was being drafted. Every 8 years the capital would be moved, and the first capital would be in Beijing, China. This was freedom, justice, and security. This was the United Earth Republic.
Everywhere, it happened. People watched. It happened in Washington D.C., in London, in Paris, in Berlin, in Moscow, in every other capital in the world, and most importantly in Beijing. Music played, sad but also happy. Flags were lowered. But a new flag was raised. It was dark blue with a green and blue planet. Earth. There were three words written on it. Freedom, Justice, and Security. Hard times were ahead. But earth would face them. They would face them with whatever they had. They would face them with whatever means were necessary.
Authors Note: Sorry for the late update, I just didn't have the time!:c
Because of my life. I'm not going to have as much time to write. I'll have enough time to get at least 1 chapter a week. Probably I'll get 2-3 chapters a week done. After next chapter I'm going to take a quick break from this fic. I'm going to be working on some other fics.
Hope you enjoyed!
