In response to xtreme energys opinion Chpater 2 is now up for public viewing.

Chapter 2
"Just Plain Sadistic"

Alan Bradley was in his pondering if he should order more tea or please himself and order some Xeno Soda,he didn't have time to finish this thought as he recieved a call on his vinatage and impossible to find telephone. He enjoyed this luxury almost as much as the ability to order anything on Earth that is edible. Obolishing this thought, he heard the artifical air his "Advisor of Foriegn Race Operations" was breathing. He said "Hello Kushnikov, what is the reason of this communication?" Kushnikov replied "Our foriegn sattelite spy network has picked up some Thalan transmissions, and although its already evident they are cuatious about us." "Yes I know that." Alan Bradley said,Kushnikov tired from all his space travel said "Look I know you know that why would i call you about something you already know!?". Silence overcame the line for 3 whole seconds until Kushnikov said "Look theyre saying we are sadistic, rebellious,and foolhardy! Shurly this suprises you!" More silence went over the line...

Alan send a top importance call to Thala right after Kushnikov gave him the news. He waited for a reply and then the face of the Thalan Foriegn Relations Manager came up. "What issss it humble leader of the Terransss?" Alan Bradly replied sharply "Your smartass world of bugs seems to think of us as sadistic! Il'l give you 2 seconds to explain!". The Thalan sighed heavily, "You humansss must not understand..." Alan interrupted "No you dont understand, in this society calling someone sadistic is viewed as a act of war and i will not hesitate to send my whole fleet at you! Have you ever seen the movie Starship Troopers?!" The Thalan thought to himself "Sadly yes...". Alan switched off his commlink in a angry fashion. "What the hell ill get the soda."
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note:As you can see my latest installment has shown the increasement in tension between the Thalans and the Humans. Due to a simple misenterpation in communication the Humans have now stepped off friendly grounds with the Thalans. Installment 3 will be written based on your comments as well as its date of release so post away.

Here is chapter 3, i decided to go a little more into Kashnikovs background and opinions to increase character devolpment.

Chapter 3
"Kushnikov"

Kushnikov hated the artifical air in his helmet, it made him wheeze as if he had a sore throught. He had made his arguement just a month ago to the Earth Leaders but apparently his 10 years of service and rank of Advisor of Foriegn Race operations didn't matter. Its amazing how he came from a frontline invasion marine to a advisor he thought to himself, to hell with the foriegn races for all I care. "Kushnikov!" shouted a worker over the chatline, "Yes?" he said,"I think you should see this...". He hated overwatching these pathetic workers colonizing a barren planet, but it was his job to explain to other races that this planet was "taken". He countinued this thought and followed the worker, he was taking him to the overwatch hill. The overwatch hill was what they used to observe space incase some aliens decided to pull something off. The worker said "Look into the sky through these binoculars." Kushnikov did as instructed and saw 3 brilliant flashes of white."Looks like somebodys activating hyperdrive." Kushnikov commented "How long has this been happening?". The worker answered "For 4 minutes at 30 second intervals and..." Kushnikov heard 3 loud pops that rang through the surface, and suddenly the ground started rumbling. "Oh shit! Get down and close your eyes!" Kashnikov shouted! They both hit the dirt and a blinding light lit up the planet like a flashbang grenade and then there was a sudden silence. "Is it ove..." the worker said just as a huge boom shook the ground like an earthquake throwing them into the air!

"Terran sattelites detected multiple hyperdrive activations over the last hour, as a matter of fact a fleet of ships passed directly through the atmosphere of planet Leo II permenatly damaging the sight and hearing abilitys of 159 colonizers on the planet." said the radar operator of sector 49. "The radar revealed these ships were traveling at hyperdrive speed therefore..." Alan Bradley interrupted his report and said "Explain the injurys." the radar operator was obviously intimidated and replied "Well, hyperdrive goes so fast that the resulting sonic boom can literally blow up someones ears and the sight injurys are due to the extreme amount of light emitted from the engine." Alan Bradley said "I see now by any chance did you find out its class?" "Yes it was a...yor collective battle fleet."
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: Obviously the Yor are up to something and the Terrans want in on it, this is were the story starts to get actiony and i garuantee in the 4th installment some serious shit will happen.  

Thank you very much for your nice comments the 4th installment will most likely be written tomorrow but if i feel like it i may write it today. I still have to think out some parts of the plot that i feel should have some thought put into them. Thats all for now from the writers desk.  

The start of a war and the beggining of a disaster, all i could say for now...

Chapter 4
"It Begins..."

The radar operator of sector 49 countinued his report still uneasy due to the presence of such famous faces in the room. He said "We also found the Yor battle fleets destination, this may seem disturbing but it is heading straight to Altaria, the well known capital of our greatest ally. We also found out that it is being followed by 3 full fighter squadrons. Most of Altarias defense fleets are out at the battlefront, i believe its evident that the Yor's intentions are genocide." The leaders of humanity began discussing this, and Alan Bradley stated "I find this report very informative, we have no other choice but to help our ally's fight the Yor." a politican interupted "But sir! We are already at war with the drengi, its impossible to fight 2 superpowers at once! Surely you have considered this..." Alan Bradley replied "Which brings me to the Thalans..."

Kushnikov coughed and regained conscience, he felt something warm trickling down his cheek. Blood, he had become all to familar with this feeling. He arose and remembered the worker, he spotted him about 20 feet away. He yelled out to the worker but couldn't hear anything, he suddenly saw his reflection in his helmet and to his horror he saw mangled earlobes and pouring blood where his ears were! He screamed out only reminding him he was deaf, he saw a ship in front of him. It didn't look very human to him, but he decided it was his only chance of survival. He approached the ship and a tall metallic looking sillohoute appeared. He took a few more steps forward and then felt a sudden burst of pain in his chest he looked down and what he saw was the hand of a Yor soldier. He coughed out some blood and looked up again, the last thing he saw was a serrated blade with blood and intestines all over it. His last thought was "Those must be mine.".

The Terrans plan was simple yet genuis, the radar operator thought of it himself. The plan was to swing in behind the Yor fleet and attack them while they concentrated on Altarias defenses. Alan Bradley assigned 3 corvette class ships, 60 attack fighters, and one capital ship to complete "Operation:Altarian Saviors". Of course the Altarians were alerted to the incoming attack and the Terran plan right away, the Thalans had half-heartedly agreed to fight off the Drengin until the war against the Yor was over. In return the Terrans agreed to help construct the Thalans latest superweapon. Little to no detail was given on its nature and abilitys. The fleet deployed at approximatly 12:30pm Altaria local time and headed off.

General Tarqin was the commander of Operation:Altarian Saviors wether he liked it or not. He had immediatly been escorted by Shock-Troopers to the U.S.S Star Grazer, he had direct orders from the Commander in Chief himself to lead this capital ships fleet to victory. He sat in his chair travelling at hyperdrive speed on 12 trillion diffrent parts, enough fuel to blow up Washington D.C, and about 1 trillion dollars worth of parts. This was intimadating. He sighted the Yor fleet and Altaria and ordered all equipment shutdown for the sneak attack. He waited approximatly 3 minutes and ordered all power to weapons with the permission to fire at will. 2 brillant bursts of light signified 2 ships down for the count. He saw the Yor ships had not changed direction. Odd he thought, he anticipated the bastards to turn around and see thier doom approaching. General Tarqin barked "Battle Report!" a orderly replied "4 tangos shot down, 1 of our boys destroyed." what he saw next was incredible a whole swarm of Yor ships emerged from the Yor Capital ships hangar and headed straight for them. "Sir, 7 tangos down 5 of ours down." Then a explosion rocked the mighty U.S.S Star Grazer as on of there corvettes got shot down. "God damnit wheres the Altarian backup!" he shouted out of frustration. He was answered by a orbital cannon shooting down half of the Yors fighters down in one mighty beam of fire and 4 Altarian corvettes approaching. "Sir,40 Tangos down, 26 of ours down." The Yor battle fleet was battered but not beaten yet. "Requesting the big one command." the general said over the commlink. Once again he was answered by a large explosion, this time the Yor capital ship breaking in half. He chuckled to himself, "the big one" was his favorite missile, never fails to beat the crap out of the enemy. "Sir,the Yor are retreating! 78 out of 102 tangos down including a major target. With only 54 losses to us! Wev'e won!". And for the first time for a whole month, General Tarqin knew everything was fine.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note:Big things are happening now. Opposed to Tarqins beliefs however everything is not fine, as a matter of fact things are just getting worse. Kushnikov has died, LeoII has Yors on it, and the Thalans are building a superweapon. Things are definatly not ok. This is the largest installment yet, every 4 or 5 installments will be like this. Think of it as a season finale.  
Installment 5 will be coming to you very soon or at popular demand. Remember your comments shape the story!

I'm glad your sticking with it. Great story so far.  

Title pretty much sums it up.

Chapter 7
"First Battles"

Lord Kona was utterly confused. He had attempted a battle against the Terrans a week ago only to be answered by Thalans. He summoned his advisor, "Advisor, why have our attacks on the Terrans been answered by the Thalans?" he questioned. Drengins not being to bright to begin with didn't really have enough brain power to interpet a situation. The only things Drengins were smart about were there warship designs. "Well Lord Kona, perhaps the Terrans have made a deal with the Thalans. A sort of alliance." his advisor answered. Kona replied "Impossible! The Thalans have always put a wall between them and the Terrans! They must be getting something pretty big out of this." his advisor agreed "Something very big indeed."

The Terrans had luanched an attack fleet to weaken the Yor's considerable army the day after the gruesome hostage transmission was broadcasted. The fleet had been ordered to fly to Polis, a large arctic planet that the Yor used to build their mini fighters. Mini-Fighters are generation 3 fighters that are small and fast but only equiped with lasers and mini-drivers, the Mini-Fighters number one weakness is its complete lack of defenses. However the Mini-Fighters make up for defenses in numbers, being easy to produce there are a large amount of them in service. The goal of this mission was to take over Polis and destroy the Mini-Fighter factorys. The fleet approached Polis with as much speed as possible and sighted the first Yor Mini-Fighters approaching. All Terran ships fired at the Mini-Fighters with thier best aim, suddenly a whole swarm of them popped out of the atmosphere and sorrounded the Terran fleet. The Terrans ships collided with thousands of Mini-Fighters as they countinued thier raid on Polis. Several Troop Transports slowly began thier stealthy descent into Polis as the Mini-Fighters were distracted by the attack fleet. The landed on Polis and began thier strike on the factorys, this was the start of the first battles.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: Just wanted to put the Drengin into the story since they were a key part of the Thaln-Terran alliance. This installment entitled "First Battles" shows that the Terrans have the upper-hand so far. Installment 8 will be coming soon to a theater near you.  

Chapter 8
"The Polis Mystery"

The troop transports landed approximatly 2 miles away from the factorys on Polis. They had orders to undertake, and Yors to kill. The soldiers boots made a *crunch* in the snow as they approached thier target. They barely could make out the factorys in the dense snowstorm but pressed on. A soldier stepped on something that was indeed not snow, he heard a mettalic *clink* as he stepped forward. He stopped and alerted his higher officers, they ordered a quick excavation of the site and told him that they would go to the factorys later in the day. "Commander?" Seargent Jenkins spoke into his radio. "Yes Seargent?" the commander replied, "Well sir, we found something intresting in the snow and are going to post-pone the factory operation just for a few hours. Please alert high command." he said. The commander did as asked of him and alerted the goverment of all Terrans. If the Yor had something to hide, then he wouldn't stop his men from finding it.

On Thala the superweapon operation was tedious. Just as the Arnor artifacts had told them, this weapon was to be built with expert craftmenship or not built at all. The tests on the barren planets had proven that this weapon had been built for one purpose and one purpose only. Complete annihlation. Hithesius knew building such a weapon was dangerous considering what would happen if some other race found out about it, but if he were to protect his people from the terrifying events to come he had to do this. The mysterious blue powder that powered it was like nothing the Thalans had ever seen before, just one little grain of it was enough to destroy an entire city! The samples were hard to find, after going to so many planets just to find a bag full of it he had began to wonder if there was a larger source of it. The thought of this amazed him.

Seargent Jenkins and his men had dug for about 2 hours and only found a small metal hut shaped object, half buried in the snow. That was all he saw, until one of his men saw a hatch. He opened it expecting some Yor to jump out, but saw the opposite. A bunch of destroyed,ripped, and sawed metal bodys layed strewn across the floor was what he saw, what he thought was that some human hostages must have worked out an escape plan. He entered with his men trailing close behind, he examined waht looked like an operating room or lab of some sort. He saw something move out of the corner of his eye, he readied his gun a moment after his men did. It popped out right in front of him and shocked him so much he was rapidly-breathing. He saw what appeared to be a human in a black suit, he looked further up and saw a glowing orange pair of goggles. The human had what looked like a artifical arm, neck, and foot. The menacing orange goggles stared right at him, "Hello, are you okay?" he asked. The human in a suit grabbed Jenkins neck with his robotic hand and wheezed out "Terran *cough* traitors!". About a dozen other people just like him jumped down, then more, and more, until the whole room was filled with them. The first shot was fired and all hell broke loose.


(A recovered picture of the humans with orange goggles)

The command center lost contact with invasion squad 3 minutes after thier last transmission. They had to assume it was a Yor ambush that killed them, it was the only explanationthey had. Alan Bradley wanted the exact story though, he wanted to know what those bastards were up to. So he decided to send the newly formed Special Operations Fleet to find out what happened. After all, it would be their first "Special Operation" as a whole team. And 30 minutes later, the rumbles of Special Operations Fleet's engines could be heard at the main starport on Earth. General Tarqin hadn't expected a mission this quickly, after all it hadn't even been a week since thier first mission. But he also expected something like this the whole time, after all this war was unpredictable. And ironically that's what made it predictable. He allowed him self to chuckle a little, then went back to his seat, he had a feeling he would spend many days in that seat.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: No this is not season 2's finale if thats what your'e wondering. However the next installment will be. Polis has a secret, the Thalans have a secret, and the Terrans are dead set on finding out what the Yor are up to. General Tarqin and Radar Operator 49 are bieng sent in to uncover "The Polis Mystery".  

This is very bad,to say the least. I think as soon as Polis is conquered, the Tahlans will double-cross the Drengin, then go after the humans, then kill anyonw who's left. (Yes, I'm sadistic.)

yea ok there live out there but the story ...  

Once again im sorry i havn't posted for a while.

Chapter 10
"Into the Belly of the Beast"

General Tarqin hated to admit it, but he was a little bit nervous about this Operation. Mini-Fighters were deadly, swift, quick, and made great kamikazi ships. He had never met one in his life and he was hoping it would stay that way. "Oh well..." he said quietly. "Sir what is our mission plan?" asked Radar Operator 49, he replied "Im going to come down in two groups, one will assist our buddies and the other will land on Polis to investagate, me and the U.S.S Star Grazer will be assisting in the space battle.". "Excellent plan si-... what the hell is that!" yelled the Radar Operator. "Attention, unknown ships have just hyperspaced to the battlezone, can we get a report on them?" asked Tarqin in a slightly alert tone. The Radar Operator gasped and said "My god they look like-"

Commander model T-3B surveyed the battle information on his holoscreen as Special Operations Fleet appeared on screen. Right after that what appeared to be Drengin ships entered the battle area. He attempted to commlink them but the connection was rejected. "Thats odd..." thought T-3B. Suddenly the drengin ships started firing on the mini-fighters! "What the hell is happening!" he yelled out in anger. A few seconds later a warning siren sounded, it indicated that the main research lab had been breached. But he was to busy to notice the warning light as he stared at the screen in disbelief.

Special Operations Fleet began their plan, Radar Operator 49 would oversee the land invasion while General Tarqin would oversee the space battle. The landing ships and escorts came into Polis'es atmosphere as fast and quiet as possible as the began their descent. And no less then 10 minutes later the ground operation was a go. "This is Operator 49 reporting in, ground assignment has begun, what is your status Star Grazer?." Operator 49 said into his commlink. Tarqin replied "This is Star Grazer, we are already rockin and rollin. What took you so long?". Radar Operator 49 ignored the last comment and started going towards what appeared to be a factory. His troopers were all with him, with the exception of the scout ships which were somewhere beyond there point. As he started his walk he saw something out of the corner of his eye, he backed up a few steps. Suddenly out of nowhere a large amount of laser fire hit his troopers, immediatly 4 of his men crumpled and fell onto the icy ground. "Open Fire!" he commanded. He then noticed the locations of the unidentifieds, one on a hill, 3 in snow camo, and 1 who just stood and watched it all happen. He took out his blaster and fired at the one standing still, it had no effect. Suddenly the target he tried to hit took out his blaster and hit him in the chest. He fell down and everything went black. He heard the words "Commander is down!" in the distance.

Up in space Tarqin was winning the battle. He was quite pleased with his progress so far. The Star Grazer had claimed about 120 kills in 30 minutes. But he reminded himself that since the Mini-Fighters were grouped close together and therefore easy to hit. Over the comm-link he heard "This is Special Forces ground fleet, we have taken a large amount of casualty's, commander is down!". "This is Tarqin speaking, get off that planet and head to my ship for docking. We will treat your injured here on the Star Grazer." Tarqin said. "Oh yes, im going to take them out using our cannons and anti-ground weapons, so try to leave promptly." he added. "Very well sir." the soldier replied. Just as the ground forces retreated the Star Grazer's artillery started hitting thier targets. The sight was spectacular. Almost all of Polise's structures and outposts were being annihalated in a matter of seconds! All of the men watched as the flames extended throughout the planet. But just as the explosions stopped, they started getting barraged by laser fire from unidentified ships. As Radar Operator 49 came around and saw the ships, he immediatly connected them to the unidentified humanoids that killed the first ground wave. And then connected the men who attacked them to the same people. Who the hell could they be?
____________________________________________________________________________________
Authors Note: Okey, the Drengin attacking an ally could only mean they are getting paid for it, the unidentified men are coming out of their shell, and 75% of the Yor army and it's structures on Polis have been eradicated by artillery from the Star Grazer and the other Terran capital ships in the vincinity. I don't want to ruin the story so you speculate at this point. Oh yes and what will become of Radar Operator 49.

A wonderful story so far.
As far as Radar Operator 49..... He gets captured by the unidentified men!
I am anxiously awaiting the next installment!

Extended chapter 11, the problem is fixed.

Chapter 11.5
"You, Me, and the Unidentified Men"

Radar Operator 49 felt dizzy, confused, and battered. The last thing he remembered was the ship being attacked by the unidentified men, his eyes began to open. Above him he saw what he hoped was an illusion. It was the unidentified men, they were talking, one took his helmet off it almost looked like he was- no it couldn't be. The man who took his helmet off saw he was awake and put his helmet back on, "Hello my freind, do you mind telling me who you are and where you hail from?" the man asked. "I am Radar Operator 49, but my real name is Robert. Im a
Terran." he answered trying not to sound intimadated. Robert could have sworn he heard a angry growl from the man. "I have a associate on Polis contacting GalacticTech Corporation right this moment, we will be heading there Robert, we are going to make sure they deliver all the equipment. You will be our hostage from now on, got it?" the man asked. "Okey." Robert replied, not sure why they would want equipment from GalacticTech. He had a aching feeling he would soon find out.

Hithesius sat in his chair, he was awaiting a call from the Drengin any time soon. He was getting very nervous about the Prophecy the more he learned about it. The Prophecy now states that some form of dread, despair, and hate would be the ones who would taint the Pure of Heart into the Black ones. He shivered at the thought and abolished it from his thoughts. The CommLink then opened up with Lord Kona on Screen, "Alright you puny bugs tell us your grand secret you keep talking about or we will crush you all!" Lord Kona demanded, Hithesius decided that telling the Drengins they were building a weapon would only make them want it, so he told him something else slightly useful, "There is a planet not to far from earth called Leo II that has been kept a secret by the Terrans, its just out of range of Earths radar and defense systems making it the perfect planet to conquer. But it needs to be tooken over quickly and with stealth, on Leo II you can land all your forces and stage your assualt from there." Hithesius informed Kona. Kona got excited by this news and said "Well then Hithesius, I have some new matters to take care of then. See you in a few weeks." . " Very well then Kona." Hithesius said with great resentment, they are so simple and barbaric he thought, well hopefully they would soon be eradicated.

"GalacticTech Corporation chairman speaking." said Chairman John Hotaling. "This is a private orginazation that would like to request some militaristic equipment and ships for our use." said the man on the other line. "Okey what do you request?" asked John. "Well we will need about 300 Arcean Gunboat-1's, approximatly 500,00 Yor MF-1's(Mini-Fighters), 120 Commander class Terran Capital ships with space to ground artillery attachments, 300 Hornet class Terran Fighters, 100 pounds of Zycoduim, and 3 Planet class Drengin Capital Ships will do fine." said the man on the other line. John, a little suprised by this large order said "I could get you all that except the Zycoduim, that is a very rare mineral that can only be found on a few planets in small quantities." he said. "That is ok, i have my own sources said the man on the other line. "Ok whoever you are, I will send it to your location..." John said. "No thats ok i'll pick it up at your home ship yard."he said. "Ok then." replied John. "Ok T-3B." said the man, "You are no longer of use to me, i will tie you up to this chair and drop a very large bomb on this facility so all evidence is eradicate, do you understand?" the man said to T-3B, he didn't wait for a reply. "Good.", he then left T-3B tied to his chair and went to his ship.
