In the Hyperion, Rogue was calmly absorbing the Energy around her. She didn't notice the disturbance as she was too concentrated on her Energy Absorption. As she closed her eyes and breathe in and out, She quickly senses something within the Hyperion. It was a High Energy Spike that came from the Main Bridge of the Hyperion. Noticing it, Rogue was forced out of her Concentration.
With Rogue out of her Concentration, She slowly opened her Golden Amber Eyes and noticed that the Atmosphere around her was different. She didn't know how much time has passed, but she was quite sure that they were out of the Warp. The only thing she was curious about was the fact that the Hyperion was full of Tense Atmosphere. "What happened?" Rogue asked herself.
She slowly stood up from her bed and realized that her Uniform was wrinkled. She sighed in disappointment as she couldn't even take care of her own Clothes. After standing up from her Bed, Rogue walked towards the Door and exited her room. As she exited the room, The Truth was finally unveiled, and it was not a good one.
*Be Advice... All Personnel of the Hyperion, Battle Stations!!!*
"I woke up from my Concentration meeting this... How unlucky am I?" Rogue went back to her room as she didn't have any job to do. The only thing she could do was focus on her Growth and get stronger. Her Door Closed, and she was met with a strange silence. She shook her head and slowly took off her uniform. She heads towards the Wardrobe and finally had other Clothes than her Uniform.
"Clothes..." Rogue furrowed her Eyebrows while staring at the Clothes within the Wardrobe. She could only see simple clothes for both men and women, which was a good thing. But after looking at it for a while, Rogue noticed a problem. "The Clothes in this Wardrobe aren't my Size..." Rogue thought that the Krieg would be better prepared, so she followed the strange feeling within her heart and wore the Clothes.
"I see... The Clothes could adapt to any size, which was why there were only two versions of clothes. This is a very convenient technology. There would be no need for buying more clothes in many sizes." Rogue was a little bit surprised. She quickly regained her calm and began to think about the Plan within her mind. It was a simple plan that was easy to adapt and easy to revise.
'The First thing I need to do is to absorb the Energy within my Surroundings. General Darius already warned me about my Concentration, so I need to adapt and be aware of my surroundings.' Rogue thought to herself. She already understood that the Energy Spike came from General Darius. It was a Warning that she was too concentrated that she forgot her surroundings.
"I should be careful and commence the Energy Absorption," Rogue said with her soft voice. She sat on her Bed in a crossed-legged position. She calmed her heart and made her breathing silent. She began to upload the Core Skill again from her Archive. The Atmosphere around her changed, and the air slowly whirled with Rogue as the Center.
While Rogue continued her Training after noticing the Problem of the Hyperion, In the Main Bridge of the Hyperion, General Darius was calmly sitting on his Chair. Looking at the Window Screen, The Hyperion was surrounded by Thousands of Warships. A Gigantic Space Battle was about to start, and the Hyperion would be at the center of it.
"After noticing the current predicament, She went back and continued her training. I don't know If I should be proud or be disappointed." General Darius sighed while looking at the Window Screen. The fact Rogue calmly continued her training meant that she trusted Darius to take care of the Enemies. What kind of Trust this Girl has in him was unknown, but Darius was a bit satisfied.
"General Darius, Our Mechanical Forces headed towards Planet Alpha Zero has arrived." One of the Personnel reported. It was about the situation of the Mechanical Forces that were heading towards Planet Alpha Zero as reinforcements. Hearing the News, General Darius nodded in satisfaction and gave an Order. "Get them to evacuate the planet. I want every Krieg resource out of that planet."
"Handling Old Krieg Technology must be hard for them." One of the Personnel said in a silent voice. The Silent Voice echoed all around the Main Bridge. All of the Personnel clearly heard what he said many times before his Voice stopped echoing. "You're correct... The Colonies only have Old Krieg Technology as the Core wouldn't want our New Technology to be thrown all over the Cosmos."
The Technology within the Colonies was a Billion Years outdated compared to the Technology within the Core Imperium. There was a reason for that as the Krieg wouldn't want their Army exploding stars and editing galaxies. The Army also agreed that they wouldn't be given such power as their current power was enough to step on Xenos, Monster, and Undead Races within the Cosmos.
"General Darius, Did you hear that a New Stellar-Warship is currently being made with the New Technology of the Imperium?" One of the Personnel asked in curiosity. Hearing the Personnel's words, General Darius raised an eyebrow and answered with a calm voice. "The name of the Stellar-Warship is Krieger. It was supposed to be the Flagship of the Imperium. We may be lowering our technology for the races in the Cosmos, but we are still proud of our machines that were researched for a good amount of years."
"The Ship is the Sign of Glory and History of the Imperium. They planned to make it very Scary, Big, and Powerful. After all, We may be pacifists with colonies, but we still haven't forgotten where we came from. We are a Warlike Race that once conquered the Cosmos." General Darius continued with his calm voice. The Main Bridge was in silence, but the Kriegs within the Bridge were a little bit proud.
As the Main Bridge General and Personnel kept talking to each other, The Evacuation within Planet Alpha Zero has started. The Mechanical Warships were floating above the Atmosphere, and the Defense of the Enemies Warships were being set up. The Outdated Warships of the Imperium slowly launch themselves to space as they were evacuating the Planet.
"We were lucky that the moment the Monsters attack. The Hyperion was heading towards us." The Commander said while staring at the Ships launching themselves to the Heavens. The Command Center hidden deep underground was now getting abandoned by the Kreg Personnel. The Launching Site was surrounded by Towering Walls that could rival mountains. It was meant as a protection against sabotaging monsters.
"That is correct, Commander." The Soldier right beside the Commander nodded in agreement. It was uncommon for Krieg to fight their enemies head-on as they would prefer to fight the enemies without any casualties. But they were still Kriegs that love to fight head one. Sometimes they were Normal Kriegs, but most of the time, They were Awakened Kriegs.
"How many casualties do we have?" The Commander asked a Grave Question. Losing Kriegs within the Colonies was something that wasn't allowed in the Military. The Commander would have to state a reason and how they died. The Soldier right next to her answered. "We have no Casualties but..." The Soldier stared at the Skies as he didn't want to continue his words.
"The Kriegs within the Two Planets died... This is the first time we lost this many troops. Some Commanders even died." The Commander gritted her teeth. It was humiliating for the Krieg, but there was nothing they could do about it. A Planetary Monster appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the planets in an Instant. That Monster cowardly escaped as it probably noticed the Hyperion.
"I'll make sure their Race would be set back to the Stone Age. I would throw their Homeworld to a Star and burned them alive!!!" The Commander proclaimed with a serious voice. The Soldier couldn't help but feel shaken from the Aura the Commander exuded. The Krieg rarely get angry, but when they do get angry. A Planet would be thrown to a Star.
"Be calm, Commander... We should focus on the Evacuation Efforts first." The Soldier tried to stop the Commander from releasing her stress. Hearing her Surborbinates, She sighed and her Anger back down. "I'm sorry for Exploding without any Reason..." The Commander apologizes, but the Soldier didn't mind. He understood that the loss of comrades was painful. A Revenge would be a good weapon, but those who wield it should know when to use it. Otherwise, It would be a double edge blade.
"Anyway, We should leave as we are the only ones within the Planet." The Commander said while heading towards the Hangar. It was time for them to leave Planet Alpha Zero. The Mechanical Forces were still levitating in the Planet's atmosphere, waiting for more orders to come. A Ship slowly launched itself to the Heavens, and the Planet was finally left desolated.
*Last Orders after Evacuation...*
*Termination of Planet infested by Monsters and Undead.*
With the Orders being given, The Mechanical Warships levitating on the Planet began pointing their Large Cannons towards it. They then began bombing the Planet and destroy everything within it. The Monsters hidden deep underground were killed by the intense heat released by the Explosions. The Ashes of Smoke slowly covered the Atmosphere, and Planet Alpha Zero was wiped clean. It turned into a Ball of Magma orbiting a Star.
Back to the Main Bridge of the Hyperion, An Emergency Message had arrived. "General, The Star Fort had already lost when the Reinforcements came. It seemed that Planetoid Monsters are pouring through it." The Personnel reported with a grave tone. The Star Fort lost before the Reinforcements came. It was a problem, but rendezvousing was the first plan they need to complete.
"Order the Mechanical Forces to Retreat. Meet up with the Mechanical Forces evacuating from the Planet Alpha Zero." The General ordered. The Personnel of the Hyperion quickly began sending the message. Never did they thought that the Star Fort would be lost before they could reach it. Most Kriegs within it was probably dead.
"Give me a Communication line to the Commander." General Darius gave a New Order to the Personnel. He wanted to talk with the Commander that helped the Evacuation within Planet Alpha Zero. She was, after all, one of the few commanders that were evacuated from the colony. The Commander then appeared on the Window Screen, and a talk about the two was about to begin.
"Nice to meet you, General Darius." The Commander greeted herself. General Darius nodded and spoke as he wanted to get to the point. "How did the Monster penetrate our detection system? They may be outdated, but they are still one of the best outdated technologies." General Darius asked. Hearing his Question, The Commander was forced into thought.
"They can't go through our detection, but there is one possibility." The Commander answered. "Traitor?" General Darius continued, and the Personnel within the Main Bridge were shocked. Traitors in the Krieg Race were Rare. They were burned in the stars for betraying their Race. A Traitor that could sabotage the Krieg Race was something that should be prioritized and be eliminated.
"Yes, But I doubt that Traitor would be the Krieg." The Commander nodded. "So you are saying that one of the Races we are protecting is betraying us..." General Darius said as his tone slowly got serious. "Yes, That possibility is high, especially when we are currently in the process of finding an heir."
Before the Commander could continue, An Emergency Report echoed in the Main Bridge.
"General Darius!!! The Stellar Colony, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, and Golf has sent a message!" The Personnel shouted as his body was shaking.
"What is it?" General Darius asked as he had a bad feeling about the Emergency Report.
"The Core Imperium has disappeared. The Colonies are now left alone in the Cosmos. The Krieg Race is now under Extinction Level Event."
