Chapter Six: First Contact

'That's it, let's see that again' I encourage Tabby. Tabby half smiles trying to concentrate on the duel.

For the past Hour and twenty minutes, Tabby and I have been dueling, training and giving each other tips on fighting moves. Right now I was teaching Tabby how to shoot a rifle accurately while running. We all knew how to do it but I was a master at this since I trained long hours on just the rifle.

Running down the shooting range, gun spitting out bullets in controlled shots, each hitting the target dead in the center.

'See, I told you, you would get it down before getting to Rancor. Nice job babe' I say running up and giving her a kiss.

She giggles and starts jumping up and down excitedly. 'You are the best teacher ever!' She states

'I know. Took you long enough to finally notice!' I say laughing.

She punches my arm playfully and just as I was about to teach her a lesson and tickle her to death my second in command's voice comes from the speakers.

I growl in annoyance. 'What is it?' I ask.

'Sir, we have exited light speed and have arrived at Rancor's moon. You should come see this' He says over the speakers.

I sigh. 'On my way'

'Sweetheart, get the men suited up and march them to the Embarkation Deck One' I order.

She nods. 'Of course'

'Thanks' I say giving her a kiss before marching to the command center. 

After finding my way back to the Command Center in the City like ship, Nikko comes up to me, 'Sir, we have unidentified ships setting up perimeter around the Planet Rancor. Looks like they are there to stay' He reports.

I nod my head. 'Send a message to the fleet in the nearest to Rancor and let them know the situation' I order.

'Already on it sir' My communications expert reports.

'Good' Now I want a full scan of their ships. I want to know what weapons they have, the size of their ships for troop estimation and I want to know how to blow them up!' I order.

Instantly the Command Center erupts into action.

I sit down on the Captain's chair and press a button on the right arm rest.

'Tabby, I want all troops in standby, and you here on the double' I order and let go of the button.

I look up at the big screen, looking at every enemy ship from every camera angle.

Their ships were strange in design. They were big and circular. From my guess it may have heavy guns all around so sneaking up on it might prove to be plain stupid. I wonder how strong their ships are. Could they stand against our Plasma Cannons? Or our Giant Mass Accelerated Cannon?

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by my communications specialists Lt. Richards.

'Sir, The fourth fleet has responded. Their Commander is on the line right now' Lt. Richards reports.

'Patch him through in the big screen' I order.

'Sir!'

A moment later the big screen changes to show a middle aged man sitting on a chair.

'High Commander Nicolas, this is Fleet Commander Sanders. What's the situation over in Rancor?' He asks.

'Not good. I only have three ships along with my Flagship. The enemy ship number goes up to 34 warships' I said shaking my head.

'So its true, we are being invaded' Sanders states bluntly.

I nod my head. 'I've got my crew scanning their ships for weapons, weaknesses and troop numbers. We are currently hidden in Rancor's moon'

Sanders nods his head in agreement. 'I will join you as soon as I can. We are currently refueling' He reports.

'OK, I'm also going to set up a Forwards Operation in the Moon's Surface. We will begin dropping supplies and dropping a few cannons' I reply.

'We will bring more supplies with us and see if I can get my hands on some Gauss Cannons while I'm here' Sanders reports.

'Copy that, High Commander Nicolas out' And the screen goes back to showing the enemy ships.

I tap another button in my chair and two of my other ship Captains report.

'I want you both to deploy weapons, ammunition and drop some soldiers to set up a base in the Moon. I want this done quietly and under the radar' I order.

Both Captains salute and start giving out orders.

I smile. I already have a plan forming in my head. Its going to be a bit risky but its all i got.

A WEEK LATER...

With the arrival of Fleet Commander Sanders and his entire fleet, the base construction in the moon was finally ready. Power generators were deployed to recharge all our ships cannons and troops were deployed to protect said generators.

I was a little surprised that Sanders was able to get two resupply ships to come with him. When I questioned him about it he just shrugged and said 'They volunteered'

I didn't complain so now we were almost ready. We are now waiting for the ship scans results which had already finished, we were just waiting on our experts to make a report on it already.

'Sir, the enemy ships seem to posses plasma cannons. Those big round ships seem to be their heavy carriers. We estimate they carry around 250,000 fighters and if they have tanks similarly sized like ours they may carry around 300,000 of those. The smaller sized ships seem to be their support ships, equipped with Plasma Cannons and another weapon we don't know' My tech specialist reports.

I nod my head. This is going to be interesting.

After sharing the information with every ship captain and Sanders, we agree to start Operation Rancor.

'Our ships will cut through theirs in a matter of minutes. They won't stand a chance against our superior firepower' Sanders reports.

'I agree Sanders, but we will not underestimate our enemy. We will expect the worst, that way if it does happen we will not be surprised' I state.

'Commence Operation Rancor' I order.
