This fic will end soon. It was nowhere good as I planned it to be. But
that's what you get for trying something knew. I apologize to anyone who
really dosen't like this fic. But in case anyone does read this, I
decide to write it. Send me C&C if you are reading this.
My hopes are now directed to my next story, Twisted realities. I may
change the name, but for now, it's Twisted Realities. Now on with the
story! *_*

Chapter 5: Ragnarok.
I stood by the screen in the room on Moon Base x1. I had been
waiting for twenty minutes for the other two president's to come.
Finally, they did.
Only one came though, Phillip walked in the room wearing his usual
presidential uniform. He had a frown on his face and looked as though he
had not slept in days.
I sighed as I looked at him and wondered where Archan was. "Where's
President Archan?"
"As if you don't know. He's dead, killed in his sleep. Three pulse
gun shots in the head."
"I suppose you blame me." Phil nodded. "Well I didn't do it. But I
know someone tried to kill me."
"Liar!"
"Shut up and listen to what I have to say!"
"Fine!"
"Good! Now I captured the assassin and he told me about the black
fleet. It's strength, technology, and position."
"Are you sure. I suppose you'll say it's controlled by the
Federation?"
"Not at all. In fact, it's owned by The Mercury Confederacy."
"Why haven't I, or anyone else around heard anything about this? You
have a new imaginary target."
"Not at all. Let me bring in the assassin." Pressing a few buttons
next to the screen the door Phillip had just entered through opened and
the spy walked through., now wearing the usual civilian clothes.
The man walked up to stand next to me. "Now this man is an assassin
of the Mercury Confederacy. Basically, let him tell you everything."
Phillip nodded. "Sure, whatever. I don't believe this. This man
might as well be reading from a script you wrote yourself. But I'll
listen, for a little while."
"Good, now begin."
Nodding the assassin began. "The Mercury Confederacy has been around
for almost one hundred years. It was created by people who hated Earth
Government's way of running thing. It's main focus is to conquer the
solar system, by pitting both it's enemies against each other." I moved
out of the way so the man could have easy access to the panel next to
the screen. He pushed a few buttons to reveal a picture of Mercury's
orbit around the sun. "Now Mercury was never colonized due to it's
intense heat and little value. That's why the discontents went there, to
be ignored. No one would notice as the Confederacy built an army. An
army with great technologies. That includes illusion technology." He
pressed more buttons to reveal a close up of the planet. "All facilities
are cloaked, and have been for the past ten years. Normally a illusion
device would give off so much energy that it could be discovered by
scanning satellites. But due to the proximity to the sun, the energy
given off by the illusion device looks like it's given off by the sun.
That is, unless you do an in depth scan. But neither of your
government's really cared, so there you go. Now over to you Mister
President."
I smiled nodded and the man moved out of the way so I could have
access to the screen. I pressed a few buttons and an image of a fighter
of the black fleet appeared. It had everything on and about it explained
in small print by arrows pointing towards it. It was a perfect diagram
of this ship. "This ship is one of the Confederacy's three main ship.
It's a Grim Reaper class vessel. One of these could take out at least
six Lancer class ships. Not because of it's illusion technology, but
because of other things. It's weapons, are only slightly more advance
then that of Earth Government's ships. But it has something called a
deflector shield. This is a energy cloak around the ship which protects
it from enemy attacks, until finally no energy is left over to keep up
the shield. This shield can be removed, but it would take a lot of ships
just to hit one. So what we need to defeat them is our own energy shield
basically I got the diagram off of Jason here. There being produced by
the second in ever factory we have."
Pausing I noticed that Phillip was finally interested, so I
continued. "We should have all the shields we need by tomorrow, so we
can launch an attack. That is if you want to." I pressed another button
on the screen and the image changed to show a large, cylinder shaped
ship. "This is their second ship. Jupiter class, it has no real weapons.
But it can carry over a dozen Grim Reaper class fighters. It's a troop
and ship transport. But the third ship is quite annoying." I pressed
another button to reveal a picture of a ship shaped like a an arrow
head. "This class of ship is known as a Phoenix class ship. It's armed
to the teeth. It's one hell of a powerful battle ship. We don't want to
fight it, but we'll have to."
I sighed and pressed one more button on the screen to reveal a large
red cube. "This, is a Ragnarok class ship. It's been constructed, but
only three. There like land mines. Automated ships with no engines.
They're small, can't move, but can cloak and are armed to the teeth.
Their shields are at least 300% stronger then the Phoenix class ship.
The ships weapons, are that of thirty Lancer class ships."
Phillip looked at me and Jason with a little skepticism. "So what
about all the evidence you had against Mars colony."
"Everything taken from Mars. If you can vanish then you can steal
stuff as well. Actually, it's really not THAT hard to frame someone for
acts of terrorism."
Phillip sighed and shook his head. "You know, I really do hate you,
now. But if this is all real then it looks like we I have to work with
you."
"I'm touched."
"Now about that illusion device. Why don't we just create our own
and use it."
"Well, we don't have time. We would have to change the device so it
could absorb light therefore making it invisible. There are so many
variables in constructing one and applying it to each of our ships. It
would take over a year to do so. By then we would be dead."
"I see. So what's the tactical situation?"
"The black fleet as pulled back to it's own sector of space. They
expect an attack, and are preparing to defend their world. Basically,
there out numbered. We have over seven hundred ships and fighters, while
they only have about five hundred. But their ships are better equipped,
remember that. Also the Ragnarok's are being made. So we have to strike
soon, or we can't win."
"Then we have to fight. I agree then. We all meet on the edge of
Mercury space on Friday, that gives us six days to prepare."
"I'll have the shields shipped to you. Is it agreed that we fight
together."
I extended my hand out to Phillip and he shook it vigorously.
"Together. We fight!"...........
All across the Solar System a broadcast was sent. "Dear people. The
war between the Outer Republic, The Mars Federation and Earth Government
has ended. But a new war has begun. We fight an enemy bent on conquering
all of us. This enemy has played us against each other, weakening us
down so they could invade. But no longer! We will all join together, all
nations, to fight this enemy. Now I call people to help. We need people
to build ships and weapons, install them, and we need men and women to
run the ships. We need you, everyone, to help us fight this enemy. The
only thing that lets evil thrive, is the inaction of good men. I ask you
to be those good men. Good day."
