Persecution Complex Ch. 6

"We are here and waiting," when she thought about it, the message gave Tali a chill.

"Well then…I guess we should go meet them. Are the scans picking up anything?" her father asked Lan, who responded by shaking his head.

"Our sensors are clear, and I don't see anything. Guess you were wrong huh, Tali," he remarked. She gave him a look and returned to seat rolling her eyes.

The marine who had previously inquired with her watched her as she sat back down beside him. "Makes you wonder how advanced they are though," he muttered quietly. Tali looked over at the young quarian, he looked pretty nervous, not that he didn't deserve to be, but he seemed a bit more so than the others.

"What's your name?" she asked him, he tensed a little.

"Sel'Atourn nar Retura," he said shifting a bit in his seat as the ship hit turbulence.

She looked at him curiously, "Not even out of your Pilgrimage and they already have you serving the marines?"

He shrugged, "Well I volunteered, and besides, it's not like we had a full squad of experienced marines like most ships, we were just the back up security force more than anything. And it just so happens our squad got picked," he said with a sigh and looking around for a moment before returning his attention to her. "I don't think I'm the only one who's on their first military run," he whispered to her, if things got sour that could be bad. She trusted everyone's training, every quarian got at least the same training, some better than most, but that doesn't mean they could pull the trigger if they needed to.

But she placed a reassuring hand on the young boys shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine," she said feeling like she was partially telling it to herself as the ship landed with a thump. He nodded and she patted his shoulder before unfastening her seat belt and standing. She walked over to the door as one of the marines opened it and stepped out, she followed after her father had hopped out, the rest of the marines and the two pilots treading behind her. It was something of a deserty place, there wasn't any wind so there was no fear of a sand storm or anything, it was mostly just flat save a couple outcroppings of rocks in the distance and one about 300-400 feet, and it was somewhat hot out.

Rael looked around before turning to Lan and Reg, "Are we in the right place?" he asked and Lan pulled out a datapad. Tali looked around, something catching her eye for a brief instant, when she snapped back around there was nothing there. She squinted her eyes and saw what looked like a heat wave, maybe she was just seeing things, but curiosity got the better of her as she crept closer to the spot. Her hand hovered over her pistol as she drew closer, she soon realized that with each step closer she took the mirage seemed to get bigger until she stopped right in front of it.

"Tali," he father called, she held up her hand and then moved it forward as if to touch the mirage, "Tali!" her father called a bit harsher. She looked over at him a moment before turning to see a giant figure standing before her, two inches from her hand, he must have been more than seven feet tall.

She jumped back with a squeak, what she assumed passed for a grin showed on his four mandibles, "Calm and observant, you have a potential girl," he said in his somewhat deep voice. He bowed his head slightly, "Tali'Zorah, respectively, my apologizes if I startled you, my name is Thealon should you have forgotten," he said calmly despite having the weapons of all six quarian marines on him. He looked at them, "I would not think pointing weapons at the people you trying to make peace with is a very good way to kick off a meeting, Rael. Especially when out-strategized," Tali straightened as she felt a hand on her shoulder and a muzzle pressed between her shoulder blades.

A voice ever the quietest whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I don't plan on hurting you as long as your friends don't shoot," it reassured her calmly as she was forced to back up. The voice was a males, and it seemed…human.

"Tali?" her father asked cautiously as she was backed out of the line of fire in case something did happen. She looked at her shoulder and saw that the light seemed to bend around it, so this was how their stealth suits worked.

"Rael I would like this to go peacefully if you would please lower your weapons," he said raising his hand and signaling something, or someone. All the figures previously cloaked faded into existence wielding various weapons Tali had never seen before. There were four figures in total, the one holding Tali included, all were bipedal and two of them looked like humans while the other two appeared to be the same race as Thealon. The two that seemed like humans, one beside Thealon and one holding her, were taller than usual and wore very strange armor. Of the two like Thealon, one also beside him and one across from where Tali was, the one beside him reminded her of a quarian almost despite his obvious bulk. He had a gold environmental suit of sorts and had an opaque visor.

She looked them all over quickly, glancing over her shoulder at the one holding her very briefly, he had dark grey and red armor with two very tight visor openings to look out. The other human like figure had a helmet also that covered his features but his was red and white, his helmet with no trace of a visor at all, how he saw things was beside her. The figure across from her had dark armor with a black colored secondary, the colors not fully distinguishable in the light. A common trait she saw was that they were all seven feet tall, including the humans!

"Listen, we're lost and as I said we are recovering still from a terrible war, we don't need another, just lower your weapons," Thealon said lifting a hand and lowering it. Tali felt the muzzle pull away and the hand come from her shoulder as the other three figures lowered their guns but did not put them away. "Is this going to be an issue Rael?"

"They were just startled," he said angrily looking at the marines, some of whom lowered their heads, "My apologies Thealon. Please, I don't want any trouble, so why don't we jump into this peace treaty," he said.

Thealon nodded, "Thank you, I apologize for possibly…extreme measures but I needed to make sure this wasn't a trap of some sort." He raised his hand and waved something over, in the distance Tali could see a figure in blue climbing down the rocks, a sniper if she were to guess. "Now if you wouldn't mind, I will call my translators over," he reached up to his ear and said something quietly as Tali went to join her father.

She heard a couple marines speaking quietly, "I wonder how they got here," one said, the other shrugged, there wasn't a ship in sight so it would be hard to tell where they landed it. But apparently in plain sight was the best way because as soon as Thealon lowered his hand he looked over his shoulder and a purple ship with a design none of them had ever seen before came into view, like it just faded into existence. They had stealth tech like that for their ships too! Who knew what they were capable of.

The ship hovered about fifty feet off the ground and Tali saw the sides of it open and two huge hulking beasts in blue armor with giant shields on their left arms walked over to it, they weren't seriously planning on jumping out were they? And they did, without hesitation they ran up with lumbering steps and jumped out of the ship, landing with massive thuds and kicking up huge amounts of dust, they weren't seriously the translators were they?

Thankfully she saw a white light form below the ship and two figures were lowered to the ground, one was small with stunted legs, large arms, and a large hump on his back with a breathing apparatus. The other looked like a hanar almost except it had six eyes and floated off the ground, both of them walking and floating over as the other beasts kept their distance by just watching the exchange from where they landed, thankfully.

They all waited until the others came over and to her, and the others she assumed with how they looked at it, surprise, it greeted them in khelish, their language! He had a very squeaky voice though, the other one just made a purring sound and closed its eyes as it did something of a bow.

"This is SlipShap, and in case your wondering, yes, he is already well versed in your language, their race is very keen to learning new languages," Thealon said waving a hand to the small fellow. "And this is our huragok, Too Light, don't ask about the name, he is excellent with technology so he'll mainly be here for the translation software. And speaking of which, right now only the three of us currently will know what you're saying so if you could just give it to us and allow this to be better understand what you're saying."

Rael nodded and turned to Tali, she raised her arm and activated her omni-tool, when it popped up the huragok purred and tilted its head like a curious animal. Thealon held out a hand slightly and the animal hung its head a bit and back up with a disappointed look about it. "This may be primitive of us, but we're going to require a more hard copy of it, perhaps a datapad of sorts," Thealon asked and Tali nodded and got out a blank datapad and uploaded the software to it before walking it over.

The huragok met her and grabbed it with its tentacles, also going over her wrist, she saw it break apart into what looked like cilia and quickly felt over where her omni-tool was. She pulled her arm back quickly but it seemed satisfied at something and floated away and began to tamper with the datapad. Tali just gripped her wrist wondering what it had done as it fiddled with a couple ear pieces and handed them to all the other figures around except for SlipShap, strange as the small creatures name was she had heard of far stranger ones.

Out of curiosity she checked her omni-tool to find it was still working, nothing she noticed had changed, she was beginning to wonder when everyone began talking again. "Thank you for your cooperation, I apologize this hasn't gone as formal as I had liked, but if there is any precious information you would like to share before we do it would be appreciated. Perhaps which part of this galaxy your species inhabit, hostiles besides these geth we were attacked by beforehand?"

Rael nodded, "Yes, we have some things, but why don't you go first if you wouldn't mind," he said as politely as possible.

Thealon nodded, "I understand, as we probably have more important things to talk about anyway," he added, though none of them really understood what he meant. "I am a Sangheili from the planet Sangheilios, as are my comrades you see here," he said gesturing to the other two like him, the sniper on the rocks finally walking up beside him. "This is Kamau'Orthel, he is a well respected Field Master to my race, that is Drex'Yulta, an Ultra and good friend of mine. And for the pressing matter at hand, the humans in my group, Vlad," the man in the red and white armor nodded, "Sloan," the one that held Tali nodded as well, "and Ellenor," he said gesturing to the woman beside him, she nodded too.

"They seem much larger than the humans we know," Rael said curiously.

Thealon nodded, "I sadly cannot go into detail about it but know where I come from humans are not normally this tall."

"What do you mean 'where you're from,' all humans are from earth or born on colonies?" Tali asked the large creature.

"That is…one of the things we were trying to figure out, I cannot go into detail but we were testing experimental technology, and…well…we were on a mission to help a distressed colony, when we got here, not even all the planets, including the one we were looking for was there. We'll give you an old copy of our star maps, but you'll find them…useless here," he said, his voice was keenly hiding something, though it wasn't obvious he seemed distressed on the matter.

"Mind clarifying?" Rael asked with a bit of stern worry in his voice.

Thealon sighed, "We are not from here, we think that during a malfunction in our technology we ended up in your…reality. Do not ask me to explain I don't, and don't think I ever will, understand, please just try to go with," he said causing everyone, excluding the three Sangheili, SlipShap, and Too Light, froze or straitened. Apparently he hadn't informed the three humans with him.

Rael thought of words to say, looking back at the quarians behind him, "I…I don't…you're right, that is a bit hard to understand…I don't know what to say."

"Then don't say anything, we just need updated star maps and some information on where we are," he replied calmly.

Rael nodded and Tali sent a copy of all the known star maps to the datapad that Too Light had, he chirped and gave it to Thealon, "You can keep it, I can always get another," Tali said and he nodded before handing back to the huragok.

"Also we quarians aren't the only space-faring race in the galaxy, we'll give you coordinates of important places you should go to and everything, Tali send them a copy of a full codex would you," she nodded and did what he asked. "Good, now if-," Rael began but was cut off by Vlad, who had, for a minute, backed off and held a hand up to his helmet.

"Sir, a ship has entered the system, it looks like a war vessel judging from its size and is not geth," he said, Thealon turned to look at them with a small growl and had a whispered conversation with the human.

"Rael, care explaining?" he asked with a bit of hostility in his voice.

Tali tensed and she saw a couple of the marines tighten their grip on their guns, "I don't know, we don't, shouldn't have anything to do with this-," he was cut off by his omni-tool pinging.

He lifted it, it was the acting captain, "Rael, a blue suns ship just entered the system and is heading right for us, what should we do?" he asked frantically.

Rael cursed and turned to the marines, "Get ready, it's too risky taking off, they can just blow us right out of the sky. Reqeal," he said to the acting captain, "activate stealth systems and try to hid behind the nearest moon if you can, we don't wan them seeing you." The quarian nodded.

"Sir, we just detected five shuttles leaving the ship, you should get ready," he said and the connection cut out.

"Bosh'tet," Rael said and paced for a moment before seeing Thealon staring at him, "Blue Suns are a well known gang of mercenaries and killers, if your team here is up to it, we're going to be in for one hell of a firefight," he said.

Thealon continued his stare and Rael shifted uncomfortably before Thealon looked back at his ship, or the two beasts below it. "It'll take them several minutes to get here," he said returning his gaze to them, "Give me a moment," he said and began giving orders to all of his troops. SlipShap and Too Light went back to the ship, the light lifting them off the ground and taking them into the ship, the two creatures taking their place. "We may be able to give you assistance, take your pilots and have them take their ship and follow ours, as well as maybe yourself and your daughter, we don't want any civilian casualties," he said.

Tali stepped up, "I am not a civilian, I can handle myself," she said proudly and Thealon stared into her pearly eyes.

He smirked, "Confidence too huh, let's make sure that won't cost you," he looked at Rael, "get yourself and your ship to safety, I'll have my troops and yours holding off these Blue Suns. As soon as their ships get back to their hangar they're in for a nasty surprise."


Dan sat straighter as he saw their exploration was not in vain, a quarian ship, certainly not a warship from its size, sat in orbit around the planet. "Good, and to think I almost was doubting you what's-your-face," he said to the batarian, who was visibly aggravated by this.

"Leduan, my name is Leduan. Humans," he said but ignored it from that point as he saw his theory was right.

"Well let's see our effort bare fruit, sack it," Dan said and the bridge visibly livened as some of the crew talked about laying on the stupid quarians as their ship closed in.

"They activated their stealth systems, they aren't showing on the scanners but as long as we can see them we should be good," someone said, Dan decided to make a goal of learning peoples names after this raid. Oh how he would have made his granny proud, finally getting around to doing shit.

"Hey boss, we got some stuff planet-side, seems like they dropped a ship off to survey the area or something."

Dan thought about it for a moment, "Send the Kodiak's in after them and do whatever they want to whoever's down there. Have, ah what's his name, Tom, yeah have Tom lead the operation," he said and someone nodded and used the intercom to tell some of the guys to get ready and they had five shuttles go to the ground. Maybe a bit of overkill, but who knew how many of the bucket heads were down there or what kind of hostile life was there.

Well enough of that, now the fun starts, they were closing in on the quarian ship and while it may be a little faster, they were closing the gap and all it would take is one EMP blast and they were out. He chuckled and sat back as the ship tried to get behind the closest moon, a sound strategy if they hadn't already been seen.

"Alright people, show time, let's bag us some bucket heads."


Tali sat crouched next to Sloan and Thealon on the rock formation he had Ellenor hide on earlier as the previously white clouds grew darker and darker and while the air was breathable it was impossible to know if it had toxic storms like some planets. She looked around, Thealon's men looked much, much more experience than the quarian marines as they snapped to their orders instantly and expertly. Ellnor sat further up the small formation with the strangest sniper rifle Tali had ever seen, well most of the weapons they had were beyond bazaar.

Sloan had pulled out a purple rifle as compared to the old looking silver pistol he had before, and he still had a black rifle on his back, by the looks of it their weapons didn't fold up but they could still hold a couple weapons on their person. Thealon himself though had pulled out some grey rifle that had literally floated together, he just took a small pack off his back, around the same place Tali kept her shotgun, and before what was just a small rectangular box burst apart and assembled itself in his hands. It had a floating scope and was kinda red in places, if she were to guess it was either a sniper or an assault rifle.

Kamau had pulled out a long blue rifle also, if she were to guess it was also a sniper rifle but it seemed strange to have so many sniper rifles, but then Shepard was a collector of sorts and had about 25 different sniper rifles on the Normandy before it exploded. She hung her heard a bit and closed her eyes as she let out a sigh that just spoke her feelings as she kept in tears. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked at Sloan, he looked at her, it was impossible to see his face.

"I'm okay, I promise," she said and he nodded and patted her shoulder reassuringly as she tried to compose herself, whenever she thought about it she just felt so many feelings at once it was just overwhelming sometimes. It was almost inspiring how concentrated, composed, and patient the newcomers were, the humans Thealon had with him seemed almost in their element with weapons in their hand waiting for the enemy to arrive. Drex was next to Thealon and a couple quarian marines dotted the rock formation, Kamau sat next to a very uncomfortable Sel as he looked at the large, quarian looking Sangheili.

Drex was the only one standing besides the hunters, as they were called, who sat behind two rocks large enough to hide them and the spikes on their backs. Drex had a large blue gun that could sit firmly on his shoulder, it must have been a heavy weapon but what exactly it did Tali had no clue but he had a gun like the one Sloan had as well as a small piece of metal on his thigh all the Sangheili had.

She shifted a bit as she heard a quiet whistled tune from Ellenor and they all looked up to see the clouds now even darker then before, after a minute all five shuttles burst through the clouds. Drex watched them for a moment before hiding behind the rock all four of them were using as cover, Tali waited for the sound of the ships landing, closing her eyes and listening closely, she couldn't hear anything but the ships, not even Thealon's or Sloan's breathing.

When she heard the ship touch down Drex shot up and charged the blue gun, four petals popping out and rotating as troops poured out of the five ships and saw the blue light. Before any of them could shoot though, Drex let go of the trigger, four glowing blue balls flew through the air quickly, three stuck one of the ships and another hit a soldier in the chest, the force of it pushing him back and continuing to do so as it stuck to him. They all screamed and blew up in the order they were fired, the ship never stood a chance as it tried to take off, the first shaking the ship, the second causing it to rupture, and the third destroying the cockpit causing it to take out another ship and crush about seven men. The guy that was stuck exploded and took three others down with him, well two, the last had an arm and leg blown off.

Drex was down as soon as all the shots were fired and had pulled out his rifle, there were five ships and each had about ten guys in it, so about 50 guys. Seven from the ships and four from the other grenade meant there were still probably 39 left and none of them had cover in the open desert but all tried to find what cover they could as they ran toward the rock formation. They didn't know they were running right into the two hunters, but in the mean time they were free for the picking as they ran and gunned trying to hit anyone they could by filling the air with bullets.

Ellenor fired first, the shot taking half a second to charge before it flew through the air and slammed a guy into the dirt, the shot destroying his shields and head. Everyone else fired when they could, Kamau standing out as his rifle fired a bright steady beam into the group, the shields not even able to stop any of it as it melted armor and flesh. In fact almost all their weapons seemed to be just decimating them, like the shields didn't even stop anything as it just decimated the approaching force.

Tali couldn't really do much but support with a pistol and some tech powers, chucking an incinerate here and there, but it didn't do much but slow a couple down enough to be the primary target. She noticed how well the team communicated, sure the quarians did pretty good despite their experience, but if it weren't for these guys, there wouldn't have only been 12 guys left by the time the hunters came out of cover and charged the ones that were left, and then things got real interesting.

At that point it was just up to Thealon, Kamau, and Ellenor to pick off anyone who got too far away from the hunters for fear of hitting the hulking beasts. Tali learned Thealon's weapon was similar to the viper except it didn't really fire as fast but sure as heck had punch to it. Tali watched as the hunters right arms glowed green as it charged whatever their arm cannons fired. Two large green blots fired from the creatures and caused huge explosions, sadly only killing three guys as the group had panicked a bit and spread about, but there was no ignoring the sheer power of each shot, and the fact that the creatures arms was forced back a bit with the recoil just went to show.

But then things got interesting as the remaining nine, Ellenor fired a shot, eight, drew closer the beasts charged, one of them swatting one of the mercs aside with his shield so hard the guy was just sent flying as it raised its arm up and crushed another trooper with the same arm, turning and nearly chopping another guy in half as it swung its arm around and down. Five left as the other got to another group and they tried to circle it to try get a shot off on its exposed back, its only apparent weakness as they fired at its impenetrable shield. One circled around and raised his gun to be sent smashing into the dirt due to Ellenor. The beast faked out one of the mercenaries, seemingly coming from the left with its shield to end it in an uppercut, sending the guy into the air, only to be grabbed by its three small fingers and slammed into the ground. It spun to the right and impaled a guy on the tip of its shield due to the force sent into the attack, one of the last ones tried to circle around but was sliced apart by the creatures back spikes. The last merc was knocked down and tried to crawl away as Thealon slid down the rocks to a stop right in front of him.

He lifted the merc off the ground with one hand as the rifle folded back into a rectangle that he put on his back and pulled the piece of metal off his thigh. The merc struggled against the death grip, beating the arm and its owner as Thealon snapped his arm down, a white energy blade sparking to life as rain began to finally fall, thankfully it was just normal water but it came down fairly hard. The light of the blade was the only thing she really saw as Thealon drew it back and stabbed the merc clear through the chest as easy as…what was the human saying, a hot knife through butter? Everyone was basically on ground level as Thealon withdrew the blade and dropped the merc on the ground, he looked over everyone as the rain came down before looking up.

He took a deep breath and looked at Tali, he walked up to her and she looked up at him as he stopped about a foot away from her, his group of Sangheili and humans walking past him. "Call your father and tell him we're done here," she nodded and sent the message to her father as he checked over everyone for any injuries, none were recalled.

"What kind of weapons were those, they just tore through those Blue Suns?" she asked as she walked up beside him and looked over the seen of destruction as everyone joked, talked, or checked the dead.

"Plasma mostly, except Ellenor's that's a new one, if I were to guess it's a miniaturized mass accelerator," he said and she looked at him baffled.

"You have plasma weapons?" she was astounded by such advancement in technology, it was way ahead of their own mass round technology. It again raised the question of how the got around in space.

He looked at her with a raised eyebrow, even that was visible in the heavy rain, she wiped her visor so she could see him more clearly. "Yes, I would assume, judging by your reaction, that is not a feat yet accomplished here?" he asked, she nodded heavily to emphasize it. He raised his hand to his ear and a finger to silence her for a moment, he nodded and lowered his hand and looked up at the clouds, "Well while this didn't go the way I had necessarily as well as I hoped, at least we got one ally in this new place. Thank you for assisting us while you did, and may I also add I would like to see our paths meet again one day Tali'Zorah, it has been a pleasure meeting you and your race. My regards, take care of yourselves," he said as the ships arrived, his crew being sucked up the white beam.

He held out a hand to her and she looked at the four fingered hand, she took it and gripped it firmly and shook it, he smiled again and nodded before stepping into the light and standing straight, his hands going behind his back as he was lifted off the ground. Tali watched as he disappeared into the ship and it closed the hole and took off to space. She watched it as it disappeared into the clouds.

"Keelah, I hope not all negotiations with new species go that badly," she said and climbed into the shuttle.


Dan heard the whole thing as it happened from his seat on the bridge, all the radio chatter from all fifty of them played as he watched the screens.

"We're touching down now, so far nothing in sight but I would guess they're in those rocks over there." "We're on the ground, hey what the hell is that blue light?" "Shit! Shoot it, shoot it now!" four blue balls flew through the air and Dan leaned forward, what the hell kind of gun was that? He watched from the point of views of one of the mercs who dove aside from the slightly slow moving projectiles, one of them not being so lucky as it tracked him and stuck to his chest and caused him to get pushed continuously by it.

Dan was completely caught in the moment till there was an explosion, a ship had gotten hit by the glowing balls, and while they didn't explode on contact they screamed loudly and stuck to whatever they touched. When they did explode though, those ships had reinforced hulls, and it boiled and sent the ship off course as it exploded, the second nearly sheared the ship in half and the last destroyed the cockpit, the destroyed ship crashed into another and cut both their feeds. The poor soul who was stuck was slightly dragged into another group and blew three of them apart as the ships got the hell out of there.

Then the real killing frenzy started, the Blue Sun that Dan was focusing on the most's screen suddenly was washed out by static and automatically closed. He quickly switched his eyes to another screen as he saw the mans head explode and was sent slamming into the ground, another being thrown into the remains of one of the flaming ships. "Sniper!" "The only cover is in the rocks head for the—AGH!" a bright yellow and red beam came flying from the rocks and nearly cut a guy in half, melting the guy wherever it struck. "What the fuck kind of weapons are these fucking quarians using?" "Are our shields not working, I just caught one in the side and my shield was full!" "We're fucked man we're-," whatever weapons the quarians were using were firing very strangely, Dan had never seen shots like that before, especially the freaking laser.

"I'm almost at the rocks…what the fuck are those!" Dan switched his eyes over the views, there were only about 12 of the troops left and the screens were just dropping to static constantly. He saw two hulking beasts with blue armor, giant shields, and glowing green arms, he was wondering why they were glowing when suddenly they both fired and two green blots of energy went flying at the group, three screens were succumbed to static.

"Sir the shuttles have just arrived and are being prepped for reinforcements," Dan was about to say screw it when another member of the bridge cried out.

"Sir," his voice was grave, "we've just picked up another ship by the quarian one, it's…it's…" Dan looked at the screens.

"Massive," he finished as a giant purple ship moved in front of the quarian ship, hiding it behind its massive size. "Fire, fire all weapons now!" he shouted and he watched as the mass accelerators fired their bolts constantly, a blue wave of energy he assumed was a shield barely flickered with each impact. Three spots on the hull glowed a blinding purple before letting loose three massive balls of energy, but they were slow, easily dodge-able, if they could outrun its attacks they could win this.

"Quick, move us out of the way," he said and the ship easily moved out of the shots paths, until they readjusted their course.

"Sir the shots are tracking us."

"I fucking noticed!" he shouted, "shoot the fuckers, shoot them down!" the shots fired right into what would be the middle of the bolts, nothing happened. He frantically searched the battleground, a moon, they could reach the moon, it was small as fuck but would at least stop two of the blasts. "Get us behind the moon, quickly!"

"This piece of shit of a ship can only move so fast, calm down!" Dan sat back and nearly started chewing his fingernails as the shit got behind the moon, he took a deep breath. It was a small moon, only a couple kilometers, and as the second shot hit it, it literally just exploded, leaving a clear path for the last one to hit them in the bottom section of the shit. Alarms sounded and the bridge got about twenty degrees hotter as the shot ate through the ship and boiled the hull.

"Sections D-I are gone, closing the hull, the fuck kind of shot was that, our kinetic barriers didn't even stop an ounce of that shot!" someone on the bridge shouted, the bridges crew was quickly turning to chaos.

"Why the fuck is it so hot?"

"I surrender, send them a fucking message or something, I don't want to die!"

"The ship, it's moving, someone send it a fucking surrender message now!"

"Communications are scrambled, what the hell kind of shot was that!"

"Engines are failing, we're dead, dead in space and just flat out fucking dead!"

Dan sat back and watched as the ship faced them a large light glowing on the bottom of a large bump in the front. Several members pulled out guns on themselves and killed themselves, but Dan could only watch as a great beam of purple light split through space and destroyed the hull, eating through the ship till the hull and engines were consumed before the ship detonated.


AN: Hello everyone, thank you for reading this far and everything, I appreciate those who sent in submissions for the OC thing, all two of you, none the less they are pretty though out characters and I'll see what I can do.

I apologize for my fail negotiation skills in which it sucked complete and udder donkey balls. I'm sorry if some of this made no sense, lately I've had really bad writers block as to what to do with this chapter but finally got something down, as bad as it is. But hey, I think everything I writes sucks so go figure, anyway in case you were wondering the last beam at the end was an energy projector/the laser that glasses planets, best known for being used by supercarriers, they can be used in space combat to be fired from an angle. Again I apologize if some of this makes no sense, but I'm trying here, I would appreciate some reviews, constructive criticism or otherwise. I will be adding some OC charts for my own and possibly some submitted when a new one is added to the story. Again, thank you for getting this far, please review, and check back into the OC chart every now and then if you want some back story to some of my characters.
