The Snow Arena

[Peregrine]

Near Mars II:

 

The freighter pilot gave a look of satisfaction to his crew. On the main screen the Sun II sat exactly where it should be. "Everything looks good... FOR PEREGRINE!" The freighter jumped to hyperspace.

 

Sun II Core: 5 Minuites Later:

 

The sun's gravity pulled the freighter out of hyperspace, but too late. By the time it fully returned to reality, it had already penetrated deep into the sun's core. In less than a second, its shields failed and its hull vaporised, dropping the containment fields on over a billion tons of anti-snow. A massive shockwave ripped through the sun's surface, then the core exploded. A shell of death expanded outward, smashing everything in its path. Mars II and most of Pack Rat's fleet died before they even saw death coming. All except the new invulnerable ships, but that was a minor consideration. The rest of Pack Rat's empire vanished in a flash of fusion fireballs. When the supernova finally dissipated, only the 20 Hydra ships remained.

[Slaiv]

Aurvandil Military and Government Building, Aurvandil, 1345 hours:

 

"Lord Slaiv- we have received word. We are to proceed to the following coordinates. What about the planet?"

 

"We have declared our neutrality. Leave the Planetary Defenses online. Leave the Planetary Fleet for defense. We will be fine. Have the forces from Ugelm and Halgim arrived?"

 

"Yes, Sir. They have nearly tripled our forces. It seems unreasonable that they could do so, but they are each seperate planets..."

 

"I know. Have them prepare to leave for the stasis field. There we will meet Armiena's Fleet. I want all that can be of use in war to come with us. Load the ships. We leave at 2100 hours tomorrow. We will wait there until we receive word. Until word comes to leave the stasis field, we will research new technologies and enlarge our forces."

 

"Yes, Sir."

[Pack Rat]

The "Pegasus" hovers around the remainings of Mars II...

 

Pack Rat smiles, he takes a scroll

"Thank you, Malchik..."

 

REVERSE TIME!

 

Pack Rat returns the time two hours before the freighter destroys himself.

 

Near Mars II

 

The freighter pilot gave a look of satisfaction to his crew. On the main screen the Sun II sat exactly where it should be.

"Everything looks goo... What the hell! Get out!"

But it was too late, a snowlaser, an explosion and the end of Peregrines evil plan.

 

Mars II, Office of War

 

"They are dead..."

"Good... install Malchik's Gift on every planetary shield..."

"Peregrine just prooved he has not changed... Those two fools that became his puppets will die at the end... But very well Peregrine wants war... At least now we know where the dog is hiding... You might also want to install the gift on the Titans, their engines are capable of using it, however the Juggernauts and Battleships are not strong enough to use it, doesnt mather really. We also installed it on the our new ships, the Crusaders, an advanced version of the Titan... The yards send word the every planet has already finished 200 of them..."

"My Lord, but the Titans had docks... "

"The Crusaders dont... We decided that docks are useless and since Peregrine has remained the madman he once was, it doesnt mather to board enemy ships... I believe the time hjas come to treat our enemy like he treats us... Spare no one..."

 

Pack Rat once had a bit of dignity left for his enym's but this will change... Draw swords against the Nation and you will die...

 

He sends an intergalactic message to Armiena and Slaiv-.

 

As you problably noticed Peregrine remained the same...

The Nation found out that Peregrine will not even spare a child...

We will treat Peregrine and his minions on the same way as he treats us.

With this message the Nation will let you know, if you remain by side with Peregrine, your lifes and those of your followers will be forfeit...

The Nation will track down Peregrine and destroy him. We cannot allow such a monster roaming free... This also counts for any loyal person to Peregrine...

Peregrine showed he has no respect for peace nor any living beings so we shall show no respect anymore...

Any man that remains with Peregrine and will be wanting to surrender will be shot...

 

I dont make deals with murderers...

 

"This time we are fully ready..."

 

Pack Rat knods...

 

"We are safe on the planets now..."

[ObsidianKnight]

"Order the fleet to deploy some of their construction drones. Have them build a base inside the Haley Comet. Yes, inside it.. Install an AI into the base, and have it maintain and defend it until we arrive. Until then... find and kill the spy on this ship."

 

Armiena receives Peregrine's offer.

 

"We have no choice. Once the fleet deploys its drones, have them move for that stasis field." Scylla jumps into hyperspace.

 

A few hours later, Armiena's entire fleet arrives at the stasis field. After Scylla completes its damage control, she moves into the stasis field. Armiena is gone from this universe, at least until the "Second Age".

[Almelexia]

With a high sound almelexia and her troops walls out from the old dwemer ruins and staring to walk across the land to the destination small town.

[Pack Rat]

Pack Rat is at the Office of War together with several officers and soldiers.

All of the sudden, a soldier who was born on Mars II, asks him some questions

My Lord, forgive me, but why does Peregrine wants us gone so badly..."

"I dont know... Problably because we are the only ones who at least have the heart left to protect the Universe. Peregrine murderes everyone, men, women even children.. We cannot allow that such a man takes power..."

 

"But howcome Armiena betrays her ideals then? And why does Slaiv joins up with him then?"

"By forging an alliance with Peregrine, they hope they'll survive... And they will survive... Untill Peregrine has no need of them anymore. He did it before and since he is still the murderer and madman he once was, he'll do it again."

 

"But how..."

"It's easy, he needs them now to remove us because he knows he can no longer defeat us on his own, but once we are gone, he'll betray the others, kill them and take their lands for his own... I know it because I was once a puppet of his, sadly I discoverered too late. He needed me to remove Lord Acrid, I did and then he betrayed me and tried to kill me... I survived the attack and builded up Earth II. We were too strong so since he couldnt beat us and take our lands for his own... he blew up the planet, killing everyone who couldnt get away... After that I had seen enough suffering and I tried to end the First War by surrendering but it was not enough for Peregrine, he wanted Ancalagon, Mojlnir and Armiena out of the way since they were the last little pawns left. He murdered Ancalagon... Nobody knows what happend to Mojlnir, problably dead too and Armiena survived because Peregrine broke our neutrality so we declared war upon Peregrine once again... For some reason Peregrine fled like the true coward he is and I and Lady Armiena survived... And now she crawls back to the murderer of her kin..."

"My god... Armiena's men fought and died protecting her during the First War! And know she betrays even the men who died for her... Has she no respect left? Not even for her own people?"

 

Pack Rat knods

 

"Not even I, nor the wise Malchik can figure out what has gotten into her... Lives were thrown away for nothing..."

"What about Lord Slaiv-?"

"Slaiv- doesnt even has a clue where he is fighting for... He just signed up with Peregrine because he hopes to survive this way... They fear Peregrine... The cowards! He's the perfect example to prove my statement about Peregrines puppets... Slaiv- has no experience of warfare at all, what possible use is Peregrine with such a general? Nothing! Because he doesnt care about Slaiv-, he needs his troops... And when we are gone he'll set them up against him and they will kill their former leader. He tried this at the end of the First War too, it almost succeeded but thanks to a loyal group of men and women I survived... Slaiv- probably doesnt even knows about Peregrine's crimes and he problably never heard of the First War and if he has... he is wether a coward or a murderer like Peregrine, either way... He'll die... Just like Armiena... You might find this weird but in an indirect way their lives lay in our hands..."

 

The soldier heard enough of Peregrine and is determined not to give up against Peregrine

 

Pack Rat stares at the long-range radar screens...

He starts too giggle

 

"Armiena must be throwing her fleet upside down, looking for a spy..."

[ShinJiOh]

Mean while on the edge of the galaxy...... OOC> so many copyrights.

 

*Shin is building up the rest of his fleet, he is now half dead making him...... half-dead i suppose.

 

*While loading up the ship shin eyes what is going into the cargo bay. "NO, NO, NO, do you people even think. You've packed the ships full of food and beverages but there is no alchohol... Whet the flaiven heck do we drink when we win?"

 

A soldier replies "we're going to win?"

"That's it Army meeting as Shin pulls together his entire army of millions. To make a speech

[Ancalagon]

*Shin hear's a voice in his head, it is slurred a little and smells faintly of Champagne, but it carries itself regally nontheless

 

'If you win, party at my place'

 

*Another voice is heard whispering to the other, reminding that they have to be dead to party in the Realm of the True Gods. The voice pauses and says to Shin:

 

'Oh, right, well then if you loose, party at my place'

[Almelexia]

well after five hours hard travelling almelexia sees a small village tur up from the shadows of the night.

 

-There it is my breadmen she wispers to the army.

 

the answers are just moarings and some crackings from the older breads that has been cold of the just started night.

 

-Well my breads now let us set up a camp here for the night. And tomorrow we will attack with our full power on the village.

 

-An excellent plan my highness.

 

-What? who said that? Almelexia stears with bilief that one of the now fully evolved breadmen has talked.

 

-No it was not the breads it was I.

 

An old shady man comes out from the shadows of an old tree.

 

-Who are you and what do you want.

 

Almelexia raises her weapon and the breads starts to lie down.

 

-No no you dont understand I want to help you, I have followed you sience you left the ruin and i fing your plan sucessful

 

-Well I have worked on it for a while

 

almelexia blushes and lowers her sword.

 

-But still a night is left before we attack and you shall be with me when I almelexia the greatest leader of all breaks trough the village.

 

-As you say my highness

[Slaiv]

Aurvandil Theta Fleet, Undisclosed Location, 1300 hours:

 

"Sir! We have intercepted a message from General Pack Rat! He somehow maged to reverse the destruction brought upon Mars II and the Red Fleet through something given to him by Malchik. Here is an excerpt from the second half of the message:"

 

 

""Slaiv- doesn't even has a clue where he is fighting for... He just signed up with Peregrine because he hopes to survive this way... They fear Peregrine... The cowards! He's the perfect example to prove my statement about Peregrine's puppets... Slaiv- has no experience of warfare at all, what possible use is Peregrine with such a general? Nothing! Because he doesnt care about Slaiv-, he needs his troops... And when we are gone he'll set them up against him and they will kill their former leader."

 

"Pardon my asking Sir, but is it true that you have no experience?"

 

"No. During the First War I was not in command. I had no importance. I was a mere infatryman. I experienced the War first-hand. I had no massive role. I ran operations that did not affect the overall outcome, but I had the taste of war. I led my squadron through intense battles, which only turned to bloodbaths.....I led my men to death. I alone survived, after months in the Hospital Unit. It brought nothing but pain..... Pack Rat says the Peregrine has no mercy. That he is willing to kill all who stand in his path. Clearly he does not know.... War brings death to all. Pack Rat may believe that Peregrine will kill me. I do not believe this. I have lived for hundreds of years... Medical advances have extended my life. From some of the medicines I received while incapacitated in the Hospital I expect to live for thousands of more years, if not killed. Yet I have still not been killed. Begin Operation X, then move into the Stasis Field. We will be ready when Peregrine summons...."
