what I mean. Enjoy!

Chapter 14: The End of the Beginning.
I maneuvered the fighter through a graveyard of ships. It seemed
that the battle, was over, there were no more ships fighting anymore. Or
at least the battle could have moved farther away. I would just have to
check. "Hey Phillip. What are you doing back there."
I didn't receive a response and shrugged it off. He was probably
seeing what the ship had. Most likely the food. Now that I think about
it, I was hungry. So I decided to go to the back and look for food.
Setting the ship on autopilot and the scanners to alert us if enemy
ships came anywhere near us, I got up off the seat and went to the back
room.
It was small, rather cramped. It had a supply cabinet to the left, a
sink to the right, and a cooker on the back wall. I ignored the other
two things, and opened up the supply cabinet. I examined the contents of
the cabinet, mostly freeze dried food, and bad freeze dried food at
that. I WISH this thing had a matter converter, I really, really did.
Turning around I was confronted by a gun in the face. It was a gun
design I had never seen before, which was unusual. Probably a gun only
made in Universe Paradise.
At the other end of the gun was Phillip, who wore a crocked smile.
"Well now that everything is over. You're going to die."
I smiled as well and let loose a little chuckle. "Let me see. You
wouldn't work for the Angels, because you have killed so many of them.
Same for the Reality Police. And the Confederacy, you wouldn't kill me
if you were one of them. There would be no point. So you belong to the
Angel rebels. The Demons, they're called I think. And using me then
killing me. Not very original. Not at all."
"How good you are a guessing! Ten out of ten! Perfect score. And
isn't it not original? I would think my masters would have thought up a
better plan. But as long as it works, it's okay. But enough talk. Now
Die!"
The ship shook at that moment which knocked Phillip off his guard. I
used this moment to attack him, full force. I was still a little weak
from the battle before, but the element of surprise was in my favor. And
I soon had him on the ground, bleeding badly.
I bent down and picked up the gun and pointed it at Phillip. "Looks
like you're the one to die." And I pulled the trigger.
As his heads contents were spilled all over the floor, I headed back
to the cockpit to see what was going on. We were under attack by Reality
Police ships. It seems like they won, which was bad. Actually whoever
won was bad. If the Angels won, I would be killed because I'm not one of
them. If the Reality Police won, I would be killed for grand treason. If
the Confederates won, I would be killed because I killed their leader,
and they wouldn't care why. And finally, if the Angel rebels won, well
we all know the answer to that?
I checked my shields, 67%. Crap! This ship wasn't as good as Deus,
it was only superior to my fighter in one way. It had at least three
times the shields. Which means if I was in Deus now, after all those
hits, I would be screwed.
Okay, what the hell do I do know? Is there any solution that doesn't
lead to my death?.............
"We lost."
"I know."
"How pathetic."
"It was Marlex's fault you know."
"He didn't know he would be betrayed. He was overconfident."
"Exactly!"
"Now what happens to us?"
"Death."
"What?"
"You heard me."
"How will be die then?"
"Like this." And a gunshot was heard.
"And now for me." And then there was another.............
A pod was jettisoned into space. It held the body of the former
Captain Phillip Matthews. Died fighting the Reality Police's fleet in
dimension paradise............
I sighed as I entered a dirty apartment. Paradise was now screwed up
by mankind, we dirtied it all up. Sigh.
I sat down and wondered what my new job as a police man would be
like. As long as I was alive it was okay.
I decided to go into the bathroom and looked around. To my right was
a dead body, and to my left as well. Whatever the hell was going on I
didn't want to know. I'll just have to get rid of the bodies and go to
sleep.
The End?
