Departure

*Terra Class Dreadnought Reading for departure T-minus 30 Minutes*

The car slowly approached the Massive dreadnought in the Orbital Station, 'Have the 12 Knight board the ship?' I asked my Ai, who confirmed it. I smiled as everything falls into place. Soon we arrived at a red carpet.

I exited the car which stopped at a red carpet leading towards a Shuttle, in front of it stood none other than the president. I walked towards him, While on the sides of the Red carpet stand the 35 million Robot personnel, all who look extremely human-like. But this isn't their combat or work form, behind the president there were 3 AIs projecting a Hologram, they weren't Beta Cyb and Prime but instead, they were new ones. ''Welcome Smith, this will be the 1st official mission of the Terra super-dreadnought. Let me introduce you to your 3 AI systems. Each represents a specific function of the Ship.''

I listened to the President with cold eyes, 'So the 1st one named Paladin is responsible for the Military function of the ship and is represented as a Holy Knight in Shining armour. The 2nd is Angel who is a 'women' hologram and is responsible for all the research and production of food, goods, etc on the ship. The last one is Satan, clad in full black robes he represents the Elite warriors of the Ship responsible for the internal protection of the ship and the Captain, in this case, me.' I analysed them. 'I'll need to turn them off immediately after which I'll let my personal AI check for any malicious or constricting code in their mainframe...' I thought to myself.

Four soldiers clad in black armour and armed to the teeth surrounded me as I left the President behind after saying my goodbyes heading towards the Shuttle.

*All personnel are now ordered to enter Terra and take up their positions.*

An announcement came from the hangar causing everyone to jump into action heading towards the thousands of transports carrying them to the multiple Hangars on Terra.

The shuttle flew at great speed towards my personal hangar close to the bridge, in it were multiple vehicles. A futuristic tank, some hover vehicles, planes, and the centrepiece is a specially designed Mecha. I quickly left the shuttle who departed back to the station. ''Order the twelve knights to meet me on the bridge,'' I said to my personal AI system.

I didn't walk to the bridge instead I walked into the computer mainframe. *AI system deactivated*

'Check their coding and remove any restriction and or malicious code, replace it with absolute control by me.'

''Your majesty, the knights have arrived.'' Drake came into the room and knelt down giving a rapport. I nodded and walked to the conference table. ''All hail your Majesty Smith the 1st!'' Drake announced to the others. ''All sit.'' I sat down at the head of the table. ''We will be moving to the Xena galaxy cluster to fight the Horde, this will test your capabilities. As my knights, you must be a cut above the rest. The weaponry I provided will not be provided and you'll use the standard equipment to prove your worthiness. Do not disappoint me, gentlemen...'' I said with a serious face. 'You know you could be more kind sometimes' My other personality complained. 'Shut up.' I said to it. ''Yes, your Majesty!'' The responded. ''Furthermore, I need you all to get accustomed to war, hence I asked you all to join. We'll set sail in 30 Minutes. Your quarters are already assigned if there is anything you need ask Angel she'll provide it. Costs will not be an issue until we leave so do whatever you need.'' With that said I stood up and left towards the bridge.

The knights left towards their quarters except for Drake who followed behind me towards the bridge. Which was completely empty due to the automatization. ''Estimated enemies are 28 billion on this front, we have the 18th, 27th and 248th fleet in the Galaxy cluster. The 1st is the main carrier-Dreadnought fleet the 2nd is a support fleet and the 3rd is a merchant escort fleet. Our fleet will consist of the Terra class dreadnought, our hangars house 10 Support ships specializing from repairs to invasion to spotting. 2 Escort Carriers, 38 Battleships, 60 Cruisers and 100 Destroyers. The smaller hangars have 100.000 Fighters, 50.000 Bombers and 20.000 specialized craft. I suggest using the already present fleets to minimize loses on our side. If push comes to shove order us to go out instead, we promise you to not be any less useful than the already present fleet your Majesty.'' Drake gave his advice.

''I accept your suggestion, but if we don't let our fleet out I wouldn't know the capabilities of my army. I need full control over my resources if I am ever to not only survive in the new Universe but to also thrive.'' I said coldly.

''Yes your majesty, please pardon my lack of knowledge.'' Drake bowed as an apology. 'You can be nicer to your knights you know...' My other personality complained. 'I know, but only through blood and steel can these men be forged as true knights. I placed pressed the button on my chair to activate the command panel.

*Genetic code read, Captain Smith, recognized. Welcome back Captain. Coordinates have been set to the Xena Cluster, Galaxy B-403 solar system AX-806. Would you like to commence Hyper Jump?*

''Yes'' I replied

*Activating hyper Jump!*

The Neutron star started to spin rapidly, *Energy levels at 80...90...100% Commencing jump*

Reality started to distort as we tore a hole through space, and in less than a second we entered the HyperSpace.

*Estimated time till arrival T-minus 10 Minutes*

*AI mainframe reactivated. Paladin, Angel and Satan ready for duty*

3 Hologram materialized in front of me, *Your Majesty!* They bowed before me, *What are your orders?* They asked in unison.

''Paladin prepare 12 Hunter class Mecha suits for the Knights. Angel, I need you to commence in-depth research on the current leading populations in the Universe, their technological level, their biological weaknesses and strengths, their resources. Everything. Satan I need your special unit to back up the Knights in case they go up against unexpected enemies.'' I gave my orders.

''Your Majesty I'll take my leave to group with the other knights for training.'' Drake bowed before leaving the bridge. It was only me and my old personality.

I looked at the command board in front of me. The bridge only contained my chair and a special glass panel for me to see outside. It could at max hold 30 people.

I stood up deactivating the command console and walked towards the windows. With my hands behind my back, I looked over the larger portion of the front of the ship. It was so big I couldn't even see the front. ''This is my power now, no one can take it away as they took away my home and family, this is my new home. This is where my heart will always be. A place that I have absolute control over, a place no one can take or destroy, a place that will contain the last hope of Humanity. A crazed look came into my eyes, 'You know your mental state is only getting worse how about letting me take over for a while.' My old personality mocked.

The crazed look quickly disappeared and I calmed myself down. ''Angel'' I commanded the AI to materialize, ''I want the interior of the ship to be decorated with the British/UN Flag, all personnel will be redressed as closely to the original European royal Guard as possible. Using a colour pallet of Black and Red. We are going to re-humanize this place...'' I ordered her, *Yes your Majesty* She bowed before disappearing again.

I looked out again and sighed, 'How long will I be waiting to be able to return? What will this new universe hold? Although I am happy about being able to leave in 3 months there is still a slight dread for the unknown.' I said to myself as I analysed my emotions. 'You know there is a chance of Death just during the transdimensional Jump of 0.0000001% right?' My old personality teased. I didn't reply to it but instead started to formulate a plan of action when I arrive at the new Universe.

'First I'll need intelligence on this Universe, second is the establishment of a Homebase followed by the establishment of the New Commonwealth of Man. I'll need to establish a good cloning facility to regain the Human population which I'll leave to Angel. Then I need to gather Allies and expand further into this Universe. After finally establishing complete dominance over this Universe I'll return to the current one to kick out these imposters. With that, I'll have fulfilled my promise to myself to reestablish the real Commonwealth of Old.' I made a rough outline of my next actions.

''Angel'' I called upon her once more, *Yes your majesty.* she bowed, ''I need you to start development of genetic age enhancing and cybernetics compatible with humans and the 12 Knights. I need to reach immortality fast or I'll die of old age before I even accomplish my 1st part of my plan.'' I ordered, *Yes your Highness, the estimated time would be 10-40 Years* She replied before bowing, signalling her leave.

I just waited for time to pass

*WARNING IMMEDIATE CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY IS IMMINENT!*
