A Fallen Star

A Siege onto a Darkened Moon

The Soldiers got ready and the ships landed inside the previously secured hangars. They discovered a firefight happening at the heart of the main dome. They made it there... and a battle like no other ensued.

"We've almost got em" roared Commander Bradwick firing his weapon killing countless members of the Kera'Menage. However the tide of the battle turned as Al’jueran made it onto the battlefield, they began to lose. Maximillian, Nathaniel, and John fought back to back and were in direct combat with Al’jueran and his most powerful men. Maximillian spoke "No man rules forever Al’jueran, not even gods"

"You'd be surprised at how long you can rule with a weapon at your side. So you will now learn what happens when you stand against fate!" yelled Al’jueran as he shot Maximillian twice in the chest, Maximillian fell to the ground. The young soldier rushed to Maximillian's side, unaware of the effects happening around him, Nathaniel began to follow suit but noticed that time had almost stopped as bullets were frozen in the air.

Maximillian looked up at the stars above the dome and a deep and rich masculine voice began to speak to him, "You are not going to die this day, for when you die there will be a chorus of angels who will bear you to the next life." As fast as the voice was there it was gone, Maximillian's wounds began to glow a golden hue and he stumbled his way back to standing again... but it was too late. John, thinking Maximillian had just given his life to save Earth and Mars, charged Al’jueran and shot him. As Al’jueran fell he was able to shoot John twice, once in the chest and the second in his shoulder. John cried out in pain as he fell, Maximillian ran to his side and held his torso up, Maximillian spoke "We'll get you to the medical bay, you just won the battle, you gave them victory", Maximillian began to shed tears, "Don't you die on me yet, there's so much of this world I wanted to show you". The young soldier looked at Maximillian with eyes filled with both sadness and wonder and began to speak, "What is going to happen to me, when I die.."

Maximillian smiled and spoke softly, "You'll be carried to a much better place, and you will be in eternal peace". When he finished, John smiled and died in his arms. Maximillian rose and bore the body of the young soldier back to the makeshift medical bay raised up during the firefight. John was declared dead, and the United Galactic Nations was once more unified and at peace with itself.
