"You and I both know we had no choice here, the cybrans needed to be taught a lesson that they would never forget. The loss of life was extensive but I believe it was Necessary Admiral." Teller responded over the secure comm to the UDW. Teller felt like he was spewing sewage from his mouth but he couldn't have this conversation here maybe when this all ended he would speak with Killigan.

Teller paused and looked out over the destruction and the arrival of the second New Order Cybran Fleet. He weighed his options and then opened a channel.

"Attention New Order Cybrans this is Admiral Teller of I am requesting that all of your vessels cease your attack on the Old Order immediately you may keep your defensive systems armed. The sec and, he Andromedan Forces will handle this enemy ourselves there is no need for a further escalation."

Teller then turned to his Flag officer. "Prepare a spread of Missiles, Target the old order fleet. I am authorizing the usage of High Yeild Warheads. There has been enough Allied losses today it is time that we end this. Target the greatest concentration of Old Cybran Vessels and prepare to have the firing solutions sent."

"YAdmirals," Teller said Addressing both the Taiyou and UDW commanders. "I am preparing a firing spread of High Yeild thermonuclear missiles to fire at the old order units. I am transmitting our firing solution to both of you. I know we are all on our last bit of energy here so I think it's time we end this. I'm also launching a bombing sortie agaisnt any vessels that remain after this attack and I hope that you will assist in finishing this fleet off quickly."

After Teller sent his message to the Andromedan forces he turned to his Flag Officer, "Authorization Code, Delta, Savi, Litra, Omega, One. All vessels fire on my Mark, Three Two One Mark"

On Command the Larger Vessels in the SEC fleet launched over 200 Highyeild 140 Megaton Missiles and the rest of the fleet launched a spread of roughly 300 25-30 megaton missiles. Over all the entire payload was roughly 37 Gigatons. Along with the missiles flew hundreds of Decoy missiles some simple, some with normal nonnuclear explosive yields and a couple dozen interceptor missiles that would target counter missiles.

After the spread was fired the SEC fleet began to Launch it's fighter and bomber wings in the lieu of battle most of the pilots had gotten some rest and ships had been rearmed. In total over 5 fighterwings consisting of 360 Aircraft began to form up as they waiting for the missiles to hit the old cybran fleet. If any survived they would only have minutes before the fighter/bomber attack.

With the battle nearing an end Tahir too departed the bridge. Word would be sent to Avantia so she could attend negotiations and peace terms on behalf of the Volarians, but in the meanwhile his presence was no longer required.

The Old Order fleet turned and went into hyperspace before the barrage hit them. They sped away back to the place where they had started. The depths of space.

The Cybran Emperor swallowed as his Dreadnought pushed out into the middle of the system, a single tear running down his face. He reused to sit down and he held onto his wooden walking stick carefully, his mouth chewing on a tablet. His chalky white beard moved with the movement of his jaw, a Navy officer handed him his glasses. He turned and slowly walked off the command bridge, back towards the hangar bays in order to get to the Emperor class lander.

The ship yards around in the Celi-Venari system suddenly became swamped as roughly ten thousand ships flooded the system returning from their excursion in cybran space. Admrial Teller sighed relieved to have the victorious but battered fleet home. "Get the worst ships on the repair docks and start pulling the combat ready ships for supply and reload missions.

"Split the fleet send the marines to the bases and let the Naval personnel have some ground time." Teller stated as he walked from the bridge,

Syntori 8
6 Hours after board meeting
SEC Military High Command


A man stood in the room as he read the report. "Jupiter Corp Forces are Moving toward our Planet. Move the Board to their Bunkers and prepare the orbital defense systems. Mobilize the Security forces." The Planetary security commander ordered. "I want a sign off on ground to space based missiles." The commander ordered.

"Whats the ETA on Teller's Fleet?" The man barked.
"2 Minutes Sir. He sent us that report." An aide shouted.

Across the planet for the first time in history an alarm sounded. People stopped unsure of the strange sound until words followed. "All citizens are to report to their homes or local shelters in the lower levels of the city immediately." Across the planet men wearing the black armor of the security forces were milling around preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.

Above the planet over two hundred ships jumped out of FTL. Among them was Admiral Charles Teller this was the Vanguard of his fleet. "Take up an interception course for the Jupiter Corporate Fleet. All Paladin class ships are to prime their primary weapon systems I want them on stand by." He barked as he rubbed his Temples.

"Attention Juniper Corp Fleet, My Name is Admiral Charles Teller. In our records I have that a Captain Quinn Styles is your commanding Officer. Captain Styles I bring an immediate order from the SEC's board. Given recent evidence regarding Mr. Haley his stock holdings have been frozen and criminal charges are being upheld. By order of President Lindsey Holiday all Jupiter Corp forces are to vacate SEC space effective immediately." Charles stated.

"We're being hailed." Jan told Captain Styles, "Patching them through." A crew member said.

Quinn sat back in his seat, listening to Admiral Teller speak, all the while his crew were preparing their weapons. The soldiers putting on their gear. "What's this about criminal charges?" Captain Styles asked, "What are these chargers, if I may?" He asked Teller, wanting to buy time for his men and the rest of the fleet to prepare themselves for whatever was going to come next.

He needed to contact Lochlyn first. Get the orders straight from his mouth now that things had changed.

"Contact Mr. Haley, Jan. Everyone else on standby." Styles ordered, "Yes, sir. Contacting the Janus now."

Charles listened to the response. " Mr. Haley is wanted by both the Aschen and the Taiyou for acts of Terrorism. President Holiday has elected to uphold these charges and has ordered that Mr. Haley's Assets be frozen as his motives for investing in enterprise stocks are reevaluated. Further More the Enterprise well be upholding the status as Mr. Haley as a criminal and known terrorist and we demand that he turn himself over to international authorities." Charles stated in a response. "I will reiterate that until this matter is resolved President Holiday has ordered that all Jupiter Corporate forces leave SEC space. "

"Link us into the planetary defenses, and contact gamma groups, Gamma, Echo and Foxtrot, set their jumps as planned if we do not respond to an order in ten minutes they are to proceed with the contingency plan." Teller stated.

Styles scoffed, rolling his eyes despite Teller and the others in his fleet being unable to see him. It just came naturally for the situation. "The Aschen and the Taiyou are the same people who called the Terrans terrorists for defending themselves and their nation from Aschen and Taiyou attacks. Your leader, Holiday, can't be that afraid of Mr. Haley that she'd stoop this low to oust him." Captain Styles said.

"He won't let this stand, the better idea would be to back Mr. Haley and prevent any loss of life over hearsay. Especially since he has plans to give the company's technology to the SEC." Quinn told Teller.

"Sir, Mr. Haley says proceed with your original orders." Jan said to Styles, "Let him know I'm trying to talk them down. But, I understand and will follow our orders without hesitation. Let the others know to get into position." Styles ordered.

Teller listened to this man speak. He was starting to wonder if this wasn't going to end peacefully. "Shields up full" He stated, before turning back to respond to The Jupiter corp forces. " Captain Styles a singe planet in another galaxy is of no concern to this matter. What your leader is accused of doing is no better than what you have accused them of. Now as for the Taiyou in light of recent events regarding Mr. Sullen, fought with our forces in Cybran space. I daresay I would not be here today not were it for their assistance in the intervention over the Cybrans. But this isn't the problem if Mr. Haley Wishes to show his meaning toward us then he would order your fleet away and face up to these charges. Using a military force to get his way will not go lightly here or in the international community. " Charles said pausing.

"If your fleet continues further toward Syntori 8 this will be seen as an act of aggression and we will be forced to respond forcefully." Charles said.

"Scrable the ground based fighter bomber wings. Have the Carrier crews prepare to launch as well. I want targeting locks on their ships. " Charles Stated to his command crew.

Near the fringes of the Syntori 8 System, a single Hyperspace distortion opened up, if one could really call it a Hyperspace Distortion. As the distortion came, it quickly went, until a massive alien ship flickered in roughly several thousand kilometers away.

It appeared as if the strange ship was made from wood, organic in appearance with massive branches, and bioplasma surging from the rear of the ship as it pushed forward.

"SEC has been approved for AXIS admittance following ratification by your government." A Voice played out on the communications.

The figure, clad in a long hooded cloak stood at the bridge of his ship, which was in tune with his very thoughts as the ship's internal systems began to spin mutations for weapons to be readied.

"Ships and Personnel of the Jupiter corporation, you are advised to leave this system or be terminated, this is your first, and final warning." The stern voice hailed the Jupiter ships.

"Admiral, we have not accused them of anything. It's simple fact. We are not calling the Aschen or the Taiyou terrorists, they are terrorists. War criminals. Men and women who kill for power." Styles said, standing from his seat. Jan handed Captain Styles a headset, the man putting it on before moving to leave the bridge.

"They are not unique in this, let's make that clear." Styles said as he and Jan walked, both of them being handed armored vests and utility belts with holsters. "I'm no politician, I'm a soldier who follows orders. And my orders are to kill." Captain Styles told Teller, being hand a pistol which he shoved into his holster.

"Not for power, but to send a message."

Styles and Jan stepped into what might have been an escape pod. Armed men and women already inside and strapped in standing up. Styles strapped himself in, taking a deep breath.

"I can't sum up the message with any class or elegance." He admitted, "I can only say that you've fucked up." With those words Styles removed the headset, tossing it out of the pod as the doors closed.

The forty or so Jupiter Corporation ships fired off the pods. Each spherical in shape, down towards Syntori 8. There had to be a few thousand of them being sent down towards the planet, the speed at which they moved and their quantity making it nearly impossible to stop them all or pinpoint where they'd be landing.

The ships aimed their weapons, some down at the planet and others at SEC ships in the area. They were ready to go to war and do some damage.

They weren't prepared for just a battle, this was a holocaust if they had their way.

Teller was listening to the scene the response when the Axis Ship emerged from hyperspace. He quickly replied in a comm. "Forwarding your message to ground command I think we can have that Ratified after this is dealt with. In the meantime as Operational Commander I am giving Axis forces Green lights on weapons in SEC space, if it comes to it." Teller responded.

Though not a few moments after the chaos seemed to begin. As the pods Launched the Bridge of Teller's flagship turned an Eerie red. "Concentrate fighters for interception of those pods. Allert ground forces to brace for impact and repel defenses."

Teller then strapped himself into his command chair. "Axial Superlasers online on All Paladin Class Defenders Sir." An officer stated.

"Target the ships, targeting the Planet and Fire. Fleet is to execute defense plan gamma." He stated has he punched in his authorization code.

Across the fleet All three massive Paladin class defenders lurched as their Axial Superlasers fired. A bright green light would shoot from each racing toward the enemy ship in a linear path vaporizing any of the pods in it's path. The weapon, had the ability to crack through strengthened planetary shields and easily rip deep scars across entire landmasses. On impact the ships would be torn apart though each laser could only target one ship per shot.

Following this deadly attack the entire force would launch a barrage of thermonuclear missiles towards the Jupiter Corporation's fleet.

ITN Nagato
Conference Room



Everyone had been called to the large conference room aboard the Yamato Class ship. With the Taiyou officials sitting at one end of a large rectangular table, they quietly awaited the arrival of everyone else, even the Emperor had been called, and was present, sitting on a slightly raised throne, with Shimizu and Yukiko on either side to handle the negotiations themselves.

Admiral Yamamoto was also present, seated near the corner of the Taiyou side of the table, while a young woman in a Kimono approached, she began to pour the men tea, bowing slightly and returning to the ship's galley.

"Now we wait." Shimizu commented, while Yamamoto nodded in approval.

"We will dictate peace terms to the Cybrans, and hopefully avoid a future conflict."

The Cybran Emperor swallowed, carefully walking into the room with his walking stick. The Military advisers walked in after along with top ranking Cybran members in politics and science. There was a small group of Waffen FSS soldiers to make sure the Emperor was safe. The Emperor looked up at the ground of Taiyou and swallowed, going to a chair at the other end of the table, struggling to sit down. A Commander took off his padded jacket and placed it on the seat to soft the seat for the Emperor while another helped him sit down.

The Emperor swallowed again, stroking his chalky white beard, closing his eyes over before opening them again a couple of seconds later. His breathing was heavy his old hands frail. He turned and looked at the commander to his left, "Wer diesen Krieg begonnen ... Ich möchte, dass sie tot ist."

Kilum sat in the room quietly and watched the cybran diplomatic party carefully. He heard the leader mumble something to one of his military staff in another language but what was said he hadn't the lightest idea. The man to him though looked weakened. He sat still and waited for the negotiations to begin.

Beginning to seat himself, Admiral Killigan flinched as he noticed the door open, and the face of the woman striding through, her trench coat billowing behind her as she made directly for him.

"Admiral Killigan, you are ordered to leave this ship immediately. Return to your shuttle." The glare of Agency Director Rebekah Issane was a cold, cold sight, the flat tone of her voice holding only a hint of threat. The weight of the order came from the sense that within the UDW hierarchy, theoretically the two were equal. But for one outstanding problem.

"Your flight crew has been informed of the situation in which you find yourself, and a security team on the UDW Kronos will be waiting to take you into custody on your arrival."

"Dismissed."

The man could find no words to speak as the full reality of his recently passed actions came crashing down on him, mutely nodding once and leaving the room. Sweeping past the deposed Admiral, Agent Issane took his seat, casting a glance around the room. Crossing her legs as she waited, the woman settled her hands together on the table before her, to all appearances calm and patiently waiting for the peace talks to begin.

The pods were in such a great number, constantly being fired the forty ships, that for each one destroyed there were five or six entering the atmosphere of the planet. They'd crash into buildings, roads, anything in their path as they descended on Syntori 8. The shielding on the pods taking the brunt of force when they hit the surface of the planet, keeping the men and women inside from dying upon impact.

Eventually the pods would open up, allowing armed men and women to climb out and move through the streets of Syntori 8's megacity. Squads forcing themselves into homes, offices, and the planet's sewer system.

Others took it upon themselves to hijack any vehicles they could get to, with some opening fire on any law enforcement or military they could see. They needed to buy time for their comrades to get situated. Getting onto the planet could be seen as the easy part. Making the most of their time on Syntori 8 without being decimated or overrun was the real challenge.

Above the planet the Jupiter Corporation fleet was doing it's own part in making things easier for their people on the ground.

"Fire on the planet, avoid our own if you can. If it can't be helped, fire anyways." The man now in command of Styles' ship ordered the fleet, "Open a channel to the enemy," He ordered the remaining crew.

The massive ships in the fleet began to fire their weapons on the planet, attempting to create chaos and confusion for their ground forces to capitalize on. It was much easier to take the planet if the SEC had to focus on keeping the planet from becoming space debris and it's people from filling many thousands of grave plots.

The ships seemed to easily take the attacks fired on them, several different kinds of shielding flickering on each ship hit. Most notably was the orange energy, likely new and strange to any scanners the SEC ships may have had.

The Jupitor Corporation ships seemed focused on only firing upon the planet, their weapons aimed at the SEC ships not yet firing a single shot. They were up to something, buying as much time as their shields would give them.

The Lone Matokey ship didn't seem to react as pods were fired towards the planet, and the ships themselves inevitably began to open fire.

However what seemed like inaction was the opposite of what was truly transpiring. The Ship shifted on it's axis only slightly, as the ship's consciousness assessed the number of Jupiter Corp ships in the area. M'zulft was running his hands through the ship's weapons complement, before he accessed the psionic neural nodes throughout the ship. With a thought commanding the ship, psychokinetic energy would move to draw the pods, each and every one of them wildly off course, attempting to force them into each-other or perhaps redirect them back into orbit.

Those that weren't redirected would likely find the structural integrity of the pods failing, as the materials vibrated apart on the molecular level.

The second wave of attacks followed, as the larger ships were likely being drawn away from the planet, their individual weapon turrets redirected back into the fleet, and against each-other while orbs of sickening green energy began to form among the Jupiter ships.

These orbs began to ramp up a gravity field, acting like miniature black holes scattered through the Jupiter fleet, aiming to tear each and every Jupiter ship asunder, and hopefully finish them swiftly.

As the pods approached the planet they were met with both the fire from the fleet they passed and that of fighters that swooped up from the planet. Those pods that were not thrown back into orbit would find themselves the targets of swiftly attacking fighters. Some of the more dangerous pods were rammed directly by drone ships sacrificing the fighters to save lives on the planet below.

For any of the pods that did make it to the surface, they would surely be a danger but with each passing moment, thousands of security corps members rallied to the call. Fully armed teams roamed the streets hunting for the pods that fell upon the planet. Any teams that did make it out would meet stiff resistance. Aerial Assault teams flew into burning buildings where pods crashed using repulsor lift packs. Attacking the Jupiter corporate soldiers from their entrance points.


-------------
In space the battle continued as the fleet continued toward the Jupiter corporate fleet as the missiles had not been countered the space around the Jupiter Corp. ships would erupt in light as the missiles would detonate as close as they could get to the ships. Once the light was cleared three entire fighter bomber wings would be launched from their carriers in the fleet following up the attack and leaving only minutes before they reached the ships.

From behind the fleet three new task forces would arrive launching their own missiles specifically targeting the ships engines before moving in closer hoping to follow up with a short range attack from behind though this would likely come minutes after a second detonation.

There were fire too many pods being fired for the majority of them to be stopped, each one holding up to five or six soldiers, engineers, intelligence agents. This wasn't just an attack that would end after a few hours or a few days, they were laying the ground work for terror cells, guerrilla warfare, dissent among the people of the SEC.

One couldn't be sure exactly where each pod would land, even those that fired them couldn't be one hundred percent sure. They just needed as many pods as possible to hit the planet and deposist the men and women inside.

"We're under attack.Something's forcing our weapons away from the planet." An engineer said to the fleet's new commander, "Now we're being forced off course." He continued, "How long will the shields hold?" The cpatain asked.

"Hours if nothing goes wrong." A crew member answered, "Drop the engines." The captain ordered, fearless despite his ships coming under attack. They wouldn't last long, not under these conditions as far as he could tell. But, that wasn't the point of the mission.

"And then fire the Chroniton torpedos in all directions wher we have enemies and the planet itself."

In the egine rooms of each Jupiter Corporation ship men and women worked to remove their engines from whatever was holding them in place. The engines themselves were round in shape and very large, obviously meant to power the ships and their weapons entirely on their own.

"We're in overload in three seconds." An engineer said as he and many others tapped buttons, flipped switches and pulled wires on the engine itself.

"Bridge, we're ready."

With those words uttered cargo doors opened beneath the engine room, sucking out everyone in the room and the engine. The other ships did the same, engines shooting out into space surrounded by dead and dying men and women. To call the sight gruesome would be nothing but an understatement.

The engines preppeled towards the SEC vessels, seemingly attracted to them. This while with the last of their energy the ships they came from fired several torpedos at their enemies and Syntori 8. The torpedos fluctuated an eerie orange glow as they moved, they and the discarded engines all that remained of the Jupiter Corporation ships as their shields went down and they were attacked by the forces around them.

That and the men and women simultaneously burning and freezing in space.
