Adam stood on the Independent bridge as the officers among the bridge stared at them. How were they not being sucked into space? "Sir the missile is still locked onto Adam's shuttle and will be striking any moment!"
"Viper! Hit the incoming missile on the bridge I just landed in!" Adam called out as the royal red guards filled the room as the officers left. Adam looked around, he was far too weak to fight at full strength. Tapping his sketchbook he was able to see in his mind what he had to use.
"I will consider this a success if I take you down with me." Kaenester watched as the four guards stood in front of him with another four behind him. Adam drew his pistol from his side as it was flicked away from his hand by a spear. Stepping back Adam realized he was in a hard place.
He spit on the ground as it had a drop of blood in it. "Good luck. You will die trying." An explosion was heard outside of the bridge as Adam saw two viper wings fly by being chased by a handful of other fighters as the two broke off and started to engage.
"So be it." Kaenester dropped backwards as his guard surrounded Adam. Little did they know he had one small secret up his sleeve. As the eight guards all stabbed forward into Adam he vanished into air.
Adam's laughter was all that could be heard as the guards looked around confused. One of them fell to the ground lifeless as his head was decapitated from his body without noise. The body's thud on the ground shook the others as they wrapped around Kaenester.
A black cape enveloped one of the guards as he vanished. They all started to fear what was happening. The rebels who engaged versus Adam last time told them he was slow and off balanced. A body fell from the ceiling as the body was covered in stab wounds as one of the guards saw a fist.
It was too late for him as he was knocked out and sent into the wall as the impact turned him into a fine mist. Five guards and one very scared leader versus a demon. Adam cackled more as the guards formed up into a wall as they all looked forward. "Use your flamethrowers and light the rest of the bridge ablaze!" Kaenester shouted as he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Shuddering he turned to face it as he was moved faster than any of them were able to process. The crew started to abandon ship and flee back to their territories across the rest of the galaxy. Adam became the very thing people feared like Astral, a representative of death as he stood in the doorway. The bloodied handprint lay on the mask as the cape hovered around him.
"Death is your fate." Adam smiled as he pinpointed the five of them. A small blue glow hovered each of their hearts as Adam had his hand outstretched as his fingers pointed to each of their hearts. Closing his fist he brought the five of them to their knees as their hearts exploded.
Kaenester looked at his fallen men as he felt shameful about the ordeal. "Your army has won the war and the galaxy. But this fight will never be over." Kaenester spoke as he had tears well up in his eyes. A backhand was the last thing he saw as his head exploded.
Adam turned on the systems on the bridge, the ship was still fully operational as he set the targeting computers to fire onto the few remaining Independent ships. Adam was also able to see what made the ship so unique. It's one of a kind reactor.
"Weak." Adam took off the mask and rested it on his side. "This is callsign Artist. How are we looking out there in space Viper Actual?" Adam looked out of the bridge's window as the fighters were flying around.
"Really good, no vipers have been lost as the Independent faction is fleeing as fast as possible." Viper called through the radio. "Do you need an escort off that ship?"
"No thank you, I am taking this ship to study its weapondary. It is truly one of one." Adam looked at his fighter as it was fully responsive. He got back in it and flew around the battlefield tagging targets as he saw what was happening with the Marvel. He banked away as the blinding white light pierced it and led to the crumble of the Marvel.
"Holy shit. All fighters scramble and return to the Merle." Adam gave the command as they all returned to base as the lifeboats pulled back the cruisers and ships of the alliance and brought all tagged ships to the shipring.
Astrid looked across the battlefield. "Our numbers didn't suffer too badly, despite the suffering of us having slightly less numbers." Astrid's tone dropped.
"Total casualties lie below three thousand total dead." Shiro looked out at the destroyed ships. "No fighter casualties. The ring is teaching these pilot's well." James beamed up.
"All of the training that we have will be able to carry us to even greater places!" James exclaimed as the others rolled their eyes. "Besides, with our superior tech, we can hang around with anyone!"
"Where are Jaimie and Astral?" Adam walked on the bridge as the four of them jumped. Colors flashing on the planet's surface.
"Their signals are still active on the moon. Why?" Astrid looked over to Shiro who was just as confused.
"We have to get moving in the next six hours or there will be a lot more wounded than we can handle." Adam looked at the computer and typed rapidly. "The galaxy is using us as a martyr in this battle, what few left alive are seeking for our help."
"And we are just going to run?" Angel asked as her tone disapproved.
"Not for the reason of people needing help. But for the other reason." Adam flew through computer settings and was checking the logs making sure all that was left was just the two on the moon. "Everyone is docked." Adam pointed to Kayla who was on the sound system. "Announce what I am thinking."
"All combat personnel. Please remain on standby and do not leave your shuttles for the moment. Food, water and supplies are being brought to you." Kayla announced as a universal groan was heard from the flight crews.
"Wait, Adam please indulge us in what's happening?" James asked meekly. Airsoft and Achilles entered the bridge helped by Proto, Omaha and Alice.
"The gods are sending something here. It may just envelop the galaxy." Adam protruded confidence as the others became worried as a beam of light enveloped the moon.
