A Beast Awakens (Part IV)

*Before Formation of the Empire*

The dreaded, insurmountable Central Galactic Alliance is nearing its extinguish of the mighty Olympus. Surrounded on all fronts, the Olympian High Leaders issue out for a weapon to be built – a “super weapon” of sorts (as one may call it) – to be built for the protection of the home-world. With time not favoring the lone planet as it battles against an entire galaxy, the race to finishing the so-called “super weapon” has managed completion, only for now...can the “super weapon” be tested in combat for the first time.

War Clock: Three Years, Seven Months, Two Weeks, and Five Days into the Galactic War

Locations: Olympian Galaxy / Solaris Cluster / Tavarius System: Outer Rims & Third planet: Olympus – Underground Weapons Bunker

Mission Brief: The Alpha-Fourth Olympian Grand Fleet, set far out in the Outer Rims of the Tavarius System – designated as the 1st line of defense for Olympus from the encroaching Second Extrasolar Fleet (one among many of entire worlds’ naval fleets from their system origins merging together) that was created by the all-powerful, near god-like, unstoppable Central Galactic Alliance – is on the verge of annihilation, desperately holding off the Second Extrasolar Fleet for however long they can until the arrival of a rumored, newly-built Super Battlecarrier arrives for support.

   The Alpha-Fourth Olympian Grand Fleet, or what is left of it, make their journey back to Olympus. The hardened, battle-worn warships leave trails of destroyed Olympianum armor from their attacks by the Second Extrasolar Fleet as the Kronos stays in position facing against the trillion-strong enemy fleet. The man in the suit, watching the Kronos via a self-projected hologram provided by his suit, knows the Kronos must not fail. The man in the suit knows just how much Olympus has gone through the past three (almost four) years. The Galactic War – led by the dreaded, insurmountable Central Galactic Alliance – has completely brought Olympus to its knees, giving no mercy to the titan planet as every being that walks or crawls, or swims and flies feel the incoming wrath of the Central Galactic Alliance as they near closer and closer with each day that passes; closer to feeling the doom that will be brought upon their lives. The man in the suit, watching the Kronos with great worry, knows if the Kronos fails this battle, then Olympus, as every Olympian have come to know their world, will meet its end. The Kronos itself knows it cannot fail to save its people and home-world; it knows…it must win to prove its worth as a mighty warship amongst the stars.

   The man in the suit, knowing the people in the Underground Weapons Bunker below him remain frightened of the pending incursion that may come, establishes a secure connection to the stadium-sized, holographic projection that mounts high above for display on the Olympianum-coated walls. Through the established connection, everyone inside the Underground Weapons Bunker, including the First High Leader, look over to the giant projection and see the extraordinary size and might of the trillion-strong Second Extrasolar Fleet, gasping with dread and yelling about comments on how it is impossible for a lone Olympian warship to defeat such a powerful fleet. As the people, the First High Leader, and the man in the suit all watch the Kronos, the Fleet Commander of the Second Extrasolar Fleet steps into the bridge of his Tavascus-class Supercarrier – the largest and most powerful of the fleet – and heads toward a viewport, locking his attention upon the distant Kronos as he speaks in a calming voice “We cannot let no ship block our advancement. End it…” And with that order came the Second Extrasolar Fleet’s gravest mistake: firing upon the Kronos. All engines shut off, all weapons disarm themselves, and all protective shielding deactivate. The Kronos becomes adrift within the emptiness of space as the trillion-strong Second Extrasolar Fleet faces against it. Chunks of what use to be asteroids and destroyed wreckage of warships from the Alpha-Fourth Olympian Grand Fleet drift through the large gap in-between the Kronos and the enemy fleet, scattered about as it all moves slowly.

   Teasing for the Fleet Commander to fire upon as it drifts defenseless in the emptiness of space, the Fleet Commander’s ship begins the firing, a barrage of anti-warship shells fired at lightspeed, but only for the Kronos to react quickly as it makes the jump to hyperspace, disappearing from the battle area as it does not show up on any sensors or scanners on any enemy warship. Breaking through barriers of space and time, the Kronos travels at unimaginable speeds throughout the Universe; dodging entire planets, resistant to extremely hot, blue-colored stars, ramming through moons, and passing by billions of other celestial bodies along the way as it makes its way back towards the location of Second Extrasolar Fleet. Appearing in a flash, the Kronos makes its presence aware as it fires off six Anti-Gravity missiles: the missiles traveling at near-lightspeed as it makes contact with six different Second Extrasolar warships, exploding them upon impact as the destroyed wreckage spreads out in all directions at high speeds, damaging three-thousand warships in the vicinity. The Fleet Commander, seeing damages that have taken place, gives a worry-some expression as he orders all spacecraft of the Second Extrasolar Fleet to be released and engage the Kronos, while also ordering the fleet of warships to break formation and surround the Kronos.

   The fighter spacecraft come zooming out of their assigned warships, firing their experimental photon blasters that equal in power to destroying a Super Jupiter-sized planet, but each shot ricocheting off the thick Olympianum armor, aiming towards numerous enemy warships as they explode upon impact. A group of five-thousand warships come on the rear of the Kronos, approaching steadily as the Kronos activates its Anti-Aircraft Cannons. Many fighter spacecraft zoom past the Anti-Aircraft Cannons as they attempt to dodge destroyed wreckage, and the now-billions of Second Extrasolar warships that come spread all around. While the Anti-Aircraft Cannons deal with the fighter spacecraft, the group of warships sneaking on the rear of the Kronos begin to fire their main guns, but only for the Kronos to release a Shockwave Pulse, decimating the five-thousand warship. Moving forward slowly without a worry, the Kronos continues firing its Anti-Aircraft Cannons upon every enemy spacecraft flying by as it brings out its Thannix Cannons and fires in all sorts of directions as warship after warship is destroyed; the Second Extra Solar Fleet’s numbers reduced to half a billion now. Firing both the Thannix Cannons and the Anti-Aircraft Cannons, the Kronos launches Javelin Disruptor Torpedoes at a group of Supercarriers while the spacecraft dwindles dangerously in numbers. Continuing to move forward still, the Fleet Commander of the Second Extrasolar Fleet orders for all remaining warships to begin a full-scale retreat while focusing all firepower on the Kronos. The enemy warships make their retreat as their weapons continue to fire, but only for the Kronos to cease firing and shut off. Noticing the Kronos’s actions, the Fleet Commander orders for the entire fleet to halt as he and every crewmember of the fleet watch the Kronos with curiosity and worry.

   Large wreckage of destroyed warships float around the emptiness of space with chunks of destroyed asteroids bump into the Kronos, but remains unphased. The Executive Officer of the warship the Fleet Commander is aboard, stands firm as he looks out the viewport as the Kronos remains motionless, speaking to his commander “Do not stop, Commander. We must continue our retreat…” Shaking his head, the Fleet Commander looks to the Executive Officer, then back to the Kronos “No, we will not. You and I…already know what the Eternal King would do to us if we continue our retreat…” the commander said, softly clenching his fists, looking to destroyed wreckage of their former warships as some explosions inside them are seen. “I ordered this retreat…but…it was a mistake on my part to make such a decision. You and I both know…what the Eternal King would do to us…and our people if he heard of our retreat…” The Fleet Commander looks towards the Executive Officer once more, giving a facial expression knowing that victory will not be won “Better we die here amongst the stars…than to endure more suffering at the hands of the Eternal King…” The Executive Officer remains looking upon the Kronos for some time, then back to the commander “Then let us surrender to the –“ In that instant, the Kronos at speeds never accomplished before in the universe, rams through the warship the Fleet Commander and the Executive Officer were in, then proceeding with ramming through every remaining warship at lightspeed: The Second Extrasolar Fleet obliterated with ease.

   Back on the planet Olympus, the man in the suit connects a transmission through the Underground Weapons Bunker, speaking to everyone as the people cheer in happiness and victory for having now watched the Kronos defeat the Second Extrasolar Fleet “The Second Extrasolar Fleet – once considered to be the most fearsome, unopposed fleet of this galaxy…is no more. Today, marks the turning point of this war, and a new era for ourselves amongst the stars. Today, we will take the fight to the Eternal King and his Central Galactic Alliance; today, we will look upon this victory as the day we were saved from our doom, and today, you will all remember…The Mighty Warship of Olympus, the sword and shield of our world; The Kronos: Beast of the Skies…” As the people, including the First High Leader himself, cheer on in celebration for their hard-earned victory of the Galactic War, the Kronos remains adrift in the vacuum of space. As distant stars shine their glorious light on the Kronos, glistening with magnificence, The Mighty Warship faces the Supercarrier that held the Fleet Commander of the Second Extrasolar, and its Executive Officer, watching the wreckage continue to explode in different areas before turning away and making the jump to hyperspace; headed back to Olympus, then to take the fight to the Eternal King, and his Central Galactic Alliance for A Titan's Rise has begun.
