PHASE 1: PROLOGUE AND ENCOUNTER
Outside… Far outside this galaxy few has ever wondered… What lies beyond? Humanity has aspirations to visit these galaxies. This is an entirely new group of galaxies. Humanity realizes they have competition. Competition against the evil Arprodas, the Drones' powerful and most trusted wasp allies.
The war has been going on for some time. Ellie Rantrox of Star Marine remembers her confrontation with the evil Empress Zouvia. Her second attempt to confront Zouvia almost got her killed. Before the war, she met Zouvia for the first time. Zouvia had Ellie's family murdered for believing Ellie is the threat that will bring the Arprodas to an end. But Ellie is not the only threat. All the way from Ellie's home is where her ancestors grew up, our Earth. There is Jet Force, and the Gemini Squadron twins, Juno and Vela. Vela has been accused for being a threat to the Arprodas too. Zouvia believes the ladies are threats. Only the final confrontation will explain.
Zouvia is known as the cosmic Empress. She has cosmic magical and mental powers. She and her race wiped out entire planets.
Way out, far past our group of galaxies is a huge distance. Incredible speed is the solution. Humankind has worked for so many years on building this new exploration ship. They hope to see these galaxies before the Arprodas can destroy them. With the help of many alien allies, the Peramataria was complete. Peramataria would give the Goldwood Flagship a run for its money, though it was designed similarly. Starship Peramataria, the only ship competent of travelling from an entire group of galaxies to another group of galaxies, which are huge distances in the universe. Or is the Peramataria really the best? This is the story of humankind's race against time to see these galaxies before the Arprodas take them away. The Peramataria is just the ship for the job.
In the spaceport, the Peramataria is about to be launched.
"Captain, is your crew ready?" Questioned Admiral Dhara.
"Yes Sir!" The captain replied.
"We must visit those galaxies before the Arprodas reach them."
"Don't worry. You can rely on us."
At the launch pad the Peramataria lay. The countdown for its voyage has begun. The Peramataria was relatively large, with huge rockets. It looks cross between Vela's ship and a giant space shuttle.
"Three, two, one--lift off!"
The Peramataria's immense rockets roared. Its thrusters threw everyone back because of its force. The Peramataria was away! Civilians watched the Peramataria on television. The crusade of finding peace from the Arprodas had begun. Everyone watched the speed in disbelief.
The captain rushed to the cockpit. "Preparing to increase speed beyond light?" He asked the captain.
"Roger that sir." The pilot answered. "You should fasten your seat belt."
"Right." The captain said. "I was just going to do that. You do realize seat belts are out of date?"
"Trust me. You'll need them."
The captain went back to his room. "Fasten your seat belt? We don't need seat belts these days, not even for light speed." The captain remarked. "Seat belts, my ass!" Even the captain underestimated the speed of his own ship.
Suddenly, the ship immediately went into unimaginable speed. "Whoa!" The captain yelled in surprise, being thrown back into the wall. "Alright, I was wrong about the seat belts! I admit it!" He screamed out his mistake. "Well. Don't just stand there! Help me up!"
The two officers with their buckles done up sighed and got up to help their captain, but only to get thrown back by the tremendous speed as well.
"Captain, haven't you heard of 'safety first'?" The officer joked.
"Shaddup!" Shouted the captain.
"The captain's a bit of a twat sometimes, isn't he?" The other officer whispered to the other.
"I heard that!" Thundered the captain. "Do you want me to lower your ranks?"
"No-no."
"Good. Watch your lip then."
The greatest captain of Star Marine feels he's been made a fool of. He crawled to his seat and strapped his belt on tight.
The ship was now travelling so fast that you could see the walls extend, but because the ship was so specially built it held together. It was travelling many light-years an hour, gradually getting faster than that. It still took a long time, two days to get there. But the unbeatable speed got them there, eventually.
"Captain, look! It's the distant galaxies! We're the first humans to ever come here!"
The captain looked. A new galaxy spread out before him. He gasped in disbelief. He looked behind him. He saw his group of galaxies, very faintly. This is how far they traveled! Words cannot describe how amazed they were! Everyone howled and triumphed, jumped and celebrated. The captain ran to the communicator. He spoke to the federation about the good news. The Star Mariners had arrived at an entirely new solar system and galaxy group, which could only been seen by technical telescopes, now lay out before them.
Hours later, the Mariners flew past the planets. They were all gassy planets like Jupiter and Saturn, only many more times larger. They were beautiful, boasting colors of yellow, green and orange. The system was triple stared. The federation spoke to them.
"Peramataria, what is your position?" Asked one of the operators.
"Situation is fine." Replied the pilot.
"Show us the new galaxy." The captain got a camera. He pointed it out at the galaxy. This system was more eerily than any other place they seen in the Milky Way.
"Wow! Would you look at that!" Gasped the personnel at base. "Head to one of those planets, see what's there! See what kind of gas the planets are!" They all burst into excitement.
"Peramataria, this is base. Don't listen to him, you've got plenty of time to experiment these. Are thrusters in good condition?" Said another operator at Earth.
"Everything is okay. I repeat, everything is okay."
"Peramataria, this is Goldwood outpost. There is an unidentified flying object on our radar near you. I repeat there is an unidentified flying object closing in on your perimeter. Whatever it is, it's fast and it's huge!"
"Peramataria, this is base. We can't see anything. Over."
"Peramataria, the object appears to be getting larger. Can you take a look at it and confirm? It appears to be in the shape of an Arproda." The captain gets his scope on the ship and looks through it.
"My god, I see it!" He exclaimed. "It's… It's some sort of giant ship shaped like an Arproda. It's the size of a star! Its thorax is opening up! It's heading straight for us and moving fast!"
"This is base! Pull out!"
"Pull out! Pull out now dammit!" Screamed the captain.
"We can't! Something has disabled our systems!" The pilot said in a panic.
"Holy shit!" The captain yelled.
"It must be that spacecraft! We can't move!" The pilot said.
"Hang on… Oh my god! The thorax has opened and there's some sort of energy reaction going on in there!"
"It's a tractor beam! I repeat it's a powerful tractor beam mixed with some other energy with it coming out the ship! We're gonna get sucked in!"
"Pull out! Work your thrusters you piece of shit of a ship!" The captain began cursing one of the best ships in history.
All the crewmembers were screaming at each other. Then, the planets, the suns, the moons and everything around them were surrounded in a bright light and they began to shrink. It was a tractor beam, shrinking and pulling everything of the solar system into it. The Peramataria got sucked into it as well, to be trapped in there for all eternity. The crewmembers panicked as they and the Peramataria quickly shrank to a tiny spec. The very strange Arproda craft had consumed everything there is of that thriving solar system. The craft itself is gargantuan, and it has the ability to shrink planets and stars and pull them inside of it. What ever it is, it's of the Arprodas. The Arproda ship, or creature, finished with it's mission, leaves and blasts back to where it whence came.
"It's gone! It's all gone! That new solar system, the Peramataria, they've all disappeared without a trace!" Shouted one of the operators at the federation.
"Son-of-a-bitch! The Arproda thing is still on radar!" Yelled another.
"Jesus! Track it down at all costs! What the- it's gone!"
So there you have it; the Arprodas are hijacking entire solar system in a strange solar system thieving entity. The essence of this is bound to be the greedy nature of the Inzector alliance. The federation's time is limited.
At Jet Force base, deputy head of the federation Allister Galatea received the news.
"Peramataria and the solar system it was in disappeared without sight?" He said in shock. "Yes I'll get my best squad on it right away," puts the phone down. "Where's the Gemini Squadron? Where are Generals Juno and Vela?" He asked.
"On a mission on Goldwood." Replied the lady operating the machine.
"We need them back here! It's urgent! The Arprodas have used some sort of star ship to capture foreign solar systems with."
Meanwhile, on Goldwood, the Gemini team was on a mission to rescue Tribals captured by Drones. The Stag Drone pointed its guns at the helpless Tribals, while the Soldier Drones escorted the Tribals, with Snipers in the treetops.
"You two go for front and block em' off," Juno said to Lupus and Vela. "I'll go for rear."
"Sigh…" Vela thought to herself. "There goes Mr. hotshot."
Vela and Lupus headed for front of the conveyor of Drones.
"What's that?" Exclaimed a Drone. "Crap! Jet Forcers!"
At that very moment, a tri rocket exploded in its face, sending it flying back. The other Drones totally forgot about the Tribals and started returning fire at the Jet Forcers. Vela and Lupus ducked under crates of the Drone camp. One Drone even shot above the crates, but regretted it with bullets in the face, leaking green stuff. Many more Drones, including a couple of two-gunned stags starting approaching them. All the Drones began firing at the same time; the amount of energy was incredible. The intense firepower blew the crates away, Vela and Lupus ducked.
"Dammit Juno, where are you?" Vela cried.
Suddenly, the Drones began exploding, one by one.
"What was that Vela?"
"Grrrrr…" Vela growled in anger. Vela pulled out her tri-Rocket launcher and blasted all the Drones away. The shots from the Drones barely missed Vela, but her armor protected her. Each Drone went, but suddenly, a few shots came from above!
"Damn those snipers!" Vela shouted. The trio hid behind the rocks to protect them from Sniper fire. Each Jet Forcer poked up behind the rock, but as soon as they did, the shots came at them, and ducked back behind the rock.
"What do we do now?" Vela asked.
"I know!" Juno exclaimed. Juno threw a couple of grenades from below the rock he was hiding behind. They went against the tree the Sniper was up. The grenades exploded, destroying the bark of the tree completely, causing it to fall. SPLAT! As the tree fell, it threw the Sniper off, then the tree landed on it.
"Bright idea!" Commented Vela.
"Cheers!" Juno replied. "You two take care of the other two Snipers the same tactic I did."
And that's exactly what they did. Grenades came under the crates, with careful aiming, went against the tree in front of the Sniper and the tree fell back on top of it. The Drone was squished. Only one Drone remained. It knew if it could get down, it could have a chance of survival. But it was stuck up the tree,
"What the Hell?" It thought to itself. It jumped but squished against the ground.
"Good job!" Juno cheered.
"Jet Forcers!" Said a rough voice of a Stag Drone. "Looking for these fleabags?" Juno, Vela and Lupus turned around to find a Stag Beetle holding up Tribals, next to a cliff. "Surrender, or fluffy gets it." It warned.
"Where's Vela?" Juno asked. Vela sneaked behind the Stag Drone.
"Crap! I'm outta ammo!" She exclaimed to herself. Suddenly, from nowhere, Vela jumped on top of the oversized Drone, it tried to shake her off, but her grip was too strong. It span out of control nears the cliff. It pulled Vela off, with three Tribals it said:
"All four of you will die together!" It threw Vela and the Tribals down the cliff. Vela managed to grab hold of the vines. The Tribals didn't, though she caught one. The other two held on to the Tribal above helplessly, then their grip was slipping. The Drone was about to shoot Vela and the Tribals. Juno shot the Stag in the back though. It turned around to face Juno and then it suffered another blow, then another from behind.
"Hey, stop that!" The Stag squealed. It got confused as it was in between the line of fire between Lupus and Juno. It was too slow to move out the way. It took too many bullets, even with its bulk it fell to the ground.
"Vela!" Juno shouted. Juno pulled the vine off a tree with all his might, and then he used it as a Tarzan swing and swung down to Vela. He scooped her back up on the swing to the top of the cliff with the Tribals. Then, one of the Tribals' grip slipped and it fell! Juno got Vela and two of the Tribals back, then he deliberately swung faster than the Tribal was falling, and not a moment too soon he caught the Tribal in his arms.
Lupus was dealing with the other Stag. It made rapid shots at the pup, but he quickly hid behind the tree.
"Why you little?" The Stag went behind the tree, but Lupus wasn't there. Suddenly, a beam missed its mark. "There's the little runt!" The Stag Drone exclaimed. It went up to Lupus, but again he was gone. The Stag was getting extremely frustrated. It looked up the tree above it. Lupus was up there. "You could have fooled me!" The Stag said. Then Lupus used his jet boots; it flamed the Stag's head. "Arrrrgggh!" The Stag screamed. Lupus flew from tree to tree. The Stag shook its head and quickly recovered, then made shots, but they missed their marks. "Stupid mutt!" The Stag said. Before it knew it, a trio of rockets decapitated its head. The Stag Drone ran around like crazy, just like a headless chicken. Then, Lupus aimed again and fired. The second shot caused the Stag to explode into a million pieces. Lupus howled in joy. The last of the Drones was dead.
Soon, Juno and Vela arrived at the scene, followed by the Tribals.
"Nice work, boy," Vela said, running over to Lupus and scratched his ears. "Let's head back for the Goldwood village."
The trio slowly but effectively makes their way back followed by the Tribals they saved. They eventually get there, knowing Jet Force.
"My many thanks," Said Jeff. "The Gemini Squad saves every Tribal whom needs saving." The rescued Tribals run towards their parents and family. They hug, and jump with joy.
Magnus arrives.
"Generals Juno and Vela!" He runs towards them shouting. "The federation wants you back! It's urgent! Report back immediately."
"Looks like its time to head back already," Juno sighs. "Not another lousy mission. Hope our squadron is reinforced by now."
"Once again, Jet Force Gemini. Many thanks." Jeff says to them, as they walk towards their ships and head back to base.
"This is General Juno to Earth." Juno says on the communicator. "Heading for home."
"Where the hell have you been?" Replied the officer answering their calls. "It's most urgent. We've been trying to get to you all morning."
At the Jet Force base back on Earth, a big meeting is going on. The Gemini ship lands. The base had a large electrified fence built around it, with watchtowers. Even past those, were anti-aircraft turrets. Plus guards on duty, marching up and down repeatedly. The Gemini patrol ships finds the landing pad. The Gemini team comes out. A guard greets them.
"General! Sir!" He said. "Go straight to the meeting room!" So that's exactly what they did. When they enter the vast federal meeting room, they got strange looks from everyone.
"You're finally here." Said the leader of Jet Force. "Now you are here, we are going through a new phase in this war. The Inzector alliance wants to play galaxy napping."
