A Battle

"sir the attack was a success but it drove all of their fleet towards sol, estimated arrival in 2 hours", Victor announces to john while showcasing the ruined research station, "thank you, victor, as planned deploy scouts, and start blasting anything that goes past the Kuiper belt.", john commands.

Eva approaches John from behind after hearing his conversation with Victor, "they are on their way here?", she asks worried, "yes, but everything going to be fine, I planned for this, my ships are ready", john responds to Eva's worries.

"john, Eva you need to go outside" Neal yells at them and they head outside as fast as they can and see something unexpected, A large ship appeared in the sky, and it is not UEG or johns.

"victor update", john commands victor "this ship appeared with a fleet right now, they sending transmission to surrender or die, I am going to protocol alpha, you know I need to keep you safe, so please don't resist sir", Victor responds," victor don't you dare; I want those ships down right now.", john yells toward his watch but for avail as The explorer un-clocks and two robots are existing it approaching john and try to escort him to the ship, john tries to resist so the robots take him by force, "miss Eva and Neal you are welcome to join us", Victor says through one the robots while john is cursing his life on victor and the robots holding him, Eva looks at Neal and the follow the robots to The Explorer.

They all enter the explorer, the ship clocks and sets course toward 'The Alpha', john manages to get out from the hold of the two robots, "I regret making this dumb protocol, victor what in the name of everything in the universe triggered the protocol", john asks Victor in angered voice.

"this ship you saw in the sky, have a planet destruction weaponry, I could not let you be on a surface of planet that can get destroyed every moment sir, you wrote it in my code", Victor replies, "I also wrote it, that you need to take down this kind of ships at the moment you identify them", john yells at victor, "now that you are safe the plan can begin, shooting two black hole missiles toward the target.", Victor responds.

And two flashes of light appear in the sky flying toward the big Zang ship carrying the planet destruction weaponry and they hit the ship who in a flash of light sucked into its insides, the attack itself was successful but the other ships appear and send planetary bombs towards the earth, "initiate defense systems, track all bombs and destroy", john commands Victor, who launches from 'The Alpha' dozens of small missiles who intercept the bombs and destroy them.

As 'The Explorer' arrives to the flight deck john looks at the battle stats through his watch, "how they got here that fast, we tracked all of their moves", john ask with wonder.

"they managed to put some prototypes based on the fusion reactor they reassembled, and they got hold of the clocking tech of the UEG", Victor explains, "off course", john sighs, "ok wipe them out", he adds and a full battle begins between john's fleet and the Zang, their current armada Is the most advanced and big that had been ever developed in the galaxy recorded history.

"The Alpha", launches all of its scouts and attack ships toward the Zang fleet, this time the Zang manage to destroy several of john's scouts, but not for long, as one by one their attack ships are blown up to parts by john's fleet.

"victor could you handle the battle?", john asks, "yes sir", Victor replies.

"great, take us to Zang at max speed, lets teach them not to mess with humans", john commands and as john finishes the sentence 'The Alpha' enters into Warp field and sets course toward Zang.

"john, what you are going to do?", Eva asks john with terror, thinking about what john capabilities and weaponry.

"end this war once and for all", john replies with angered voice.

"you can't destroy a planet, don't get that low, you the one that didn't let the innocent to get hurt, you can't obliterate a planet full of innocent civilians, even if they are Zang, they are still civilians", Eva begs john, worried that he is going to do something horrifying and un regrettable.

As 'The Alpha' arrives to the Zang system, john looks towards the Zang sun, "victor, get the planetary missile on", john commands and on the screen appears the planet Zang, "great, open a channel to all of their com channels and fire a missile towards the planned target ",john orders Victor and a missile is launched and goes past Zang and explodes in the vacuum of space not far from the planet itself, making the explosion bright as twice as the Zang sun and making the night on Zang bright more than twice in normal day light.

Afterwards john open a channel and start transmitting to all Zang channels, "dear people of Zang authority, I speak today in the name of the people of the galaxy, if you won't stop your leadership, they will bring destruction upon you, this time you were under our mercy, so stop your aggression towards the other civilizations of the galaxy or the next bomb will fall on the surface of your home planet.", john says and closes the channel, than he looks towards Eva smiling.

"that how you topple an empire, you show the people what their leaders brought on them", he says to amazed Eva who approaches john and slaps him, "you scared me hard, next time just tell me when you pull a stunt like this", Eva says to john with angered voice.

"at first I planned only to fire that warning missile and then what you said to me gave me the idea for that speech, a warning shot isn't enough for people like the Zang and as I saw your fear I knew what I need to do, also did you really taught I am a crazy scientist, I don't kill innocent civilians, even when I attacked the grey outpost I made sure it has no civilians on it, so please trust me, now let's fly back to earth", john says and puts the coordinates in the holo-deck, "sorry I just was scared", Eva replies to john, "its fine", john responds and hugs Eva.

in the sol system the remnants of the Zang fleet warps back towards Zang, as ship after ship rebels against the leadership, the Zang revolution had begun.
