communicator, “All of you have been assigned multiple targets. You have been divided into two hundred ship units with an equal number of pods and battleships. Move into formation with the other ships you’re assigned with. Once you make formation, skip out to your first target and destroy it.”
Chris watched the giant formation break apart and ships began gathering in smaller units. Within twenty minutes, the units started skipping out. Eve appeared on his display, “Is it time for us to go?”
“We will leave after I receive confirmation that the first targets have been eliminated!”
Eve’s expression said it all but she said, “Yes Sir.”
Chris sat on board and waited. He wanted the leaders of the Grey Warships to know what was happening to their civilization before he attacked. His eyes were narrow and he relished what must be happening on their planets.

An hour later, the first confirmation came in and it was quickly followed by thousands of others. Chris smiled and said, “You have the coordinates of the planet we’re going to attack. The Assault Pod Fleet will skip out first and fight their way to the planet’s surface. The Heavy Drop Battleships will follow thirty minutes later. Admiral Axel, you are free to skip to your target.” Chris watched the two long lines of pods on each side of his ship. In five seconds, they were all gone.
Barbie said, “Looks like they’re in a hurry.”
“Yes…it does.” Thirty minutes later, the battleships and the three admiral’s B-Pods skipped out.
Chapter Seven
R oy saw the tactical corner of his helmet’s visor start flashing red. He glanced at it and spun to the right. Three low-flying, high-speed attack craft were coming in ten feet off the pavement toward his company. He extended his left arm, extended his fingers, and quickly pulled three of them back. Three small flashes erupted from his forearm magazine and shot out at the aircraft as his personal communicator activated, “Roy, have I told you how much I love you today?”
Roy leapt to the right and rolled as the three aircraft exploded and the debris flew through the place he was just standing. He came to his feet and pulled his hand blaster and fired on two snipers taking aim at him from the top of the building across the wide avenue, “Yes, you have, love. And I love you too.” Roy hit a knee and raised his right arm and extended his fist, pointed with his index finger, and pulled it back. A missile ignited in his shoulder magazine and shot out at an enemy heavily armored disruptor vehicle. It went up in a massive explosion, and Roy rushed across the wide street with his company of warriors running right behind him.
Lynn fired a bee missile from her left forearm at six enemy warriors firing out of the first floor of a skyscraper and then hit an armored disruptor with a Dark Matter anti-armor round. “I just want to make sure I have.” The round went into the huge disruptor vehicle and the turret blew a hundred feet into the air as the high explosive charge on the back of the round went off.
Roy’s company arrived across the street and he saw a massive fireball to the east. “Lynn, four of the ground disruptors have been hit. I don’t want to be the last one to take out my target. Forgive me but I need to focus on my mission.” Roy dove to the left behind the corner of a building as a disruptor beam sizzled by just missing him.
Lynn looked at her tactical display and saw he was right. Her company was not close to her target and she needed to get with it. “Sorry, Love. Talk with you later.” Lynn replayed the last thirty seconds of her company’s attack on her visor and screamed, “JELLY, IF YOU WASTE ANOTHER HEAVY BLASTER BEAM ON A MINOR TARGET, I AM GOING TO PEEL OFF THAT TIN CAN AROUND YOU AND BEAT YOUR BUTT!!”
“Sorry, Sir! I won’t, I mean I’ll only use it on proper targets. I’m sorry!”
Lynn’s visor went full red and she twisted to the left as a
