Load Full StoryNext Chapter

I ran though the hallways of the militia frigate I was onboard. I could hear the sirens blaring throughout the ship, signaling that we were under attack. The sirens had activate without any warning and,before I knew it, we were being attacked.

As I ran, I was making sure all my gear was in it's place . I awoke to the sirens blaring in my room. With my training drilled in my head I was able to get out of bed and into my suit. From what I've learned over my years of being in this Militia, being quick end efficient are the most important things to keep in mind when under attack. This time wasn't so I wasn't worried, but I had people here who needed me.

I had a gotten a call on my coms from one of the bridge officers saying that I was needed at the bridge. I didn't even hesitate on knowing why I needed to go. As I ran through the ships interior, I could see crewman working hard to keep the ship functional. I needed to go through the hangar bay in order to reach the bridge. When I got to the hanger, it seemed the door was jammed to a mechanical failure on the inside.

When I was getting equipped, I made sure to store my pilot gear in my room in case of an emergency. If there was wreckage in the hangar, I would be able to maneuver around it. My pnly problem was getting inside. Luckily I had a friend who might do the trick.

I put a finger on the coms button on my helmet. I tried to get a signal to my titan. I stood there in anticipation, waiting for the connection to go through. A minute passed before I heard my Titans voice.

"Greetings Alex. What seems to be the problem?" my Titans voice said in her usual British accent. I knew that she was in there somewhere. I needed her to help with the door.

"Nix, I need your help with the hangar bay door. I cant get through" I said quickly. I stood there waiting for a response, but nothing came. Then instantly, I heard the hangar doors being hit. I looked up and saw a dent in the big double doors. I walked back a few yards and with every other step, I saw the doors being dented even more. I was standing far away from the doors when another bang came, but this time there was a robot arm sticking through the doors.

The arm went back in the hole and a few more dents came in. I then saw mechanical fingers slip through the hole. The hole was right in the middle of the doors and I saw what she was trying to do. Standing there astonished, I saw my titan pulling the doors open with her hands. I stood there staring at my Titan holding the doors open.

"Hello, Pilot" she said innocently. I shook my heard, quickly getting rid of my shock. I walked over to my titan and underneath its parted legs. As I walked through the doors, I looked around at the condition of the hangar. To say the least, it was fucked up. There were mangled titans and bodies all over the area. There were a couple drop ships scattered all over the place. I looked back at my titan and saw that it was still in good condition. Its red paint still looked fresh and unscratched.

"How are you not damaged!?" I yelled. My titan looked around and shrugged.

"I am not sure, Alex? Luck?" it asked, looking down at me. I smiled. Only you Nix, only you. I looked around and found the door that leads to the bridge. It was on a balcony overlooking the hangar. I looked back at my titan.

"Stay here and help clear the wreckage" I ordered. My titan gave a thumbs up and walked over to a destroyed drop ship. I looked at the doors and ran in their direction. One of the drop ships wings was leaning against a wall near the doors. I ran at the wing and jumped. My jump kit turned on automatically and boosted me towards the wing. As I ran across the wing, my jump kit helping me stay against it. I made it to the end of the wing and jumped towards the balcony where the doors were. I landed on the balcony softly and proceeded to walk towards the Bridge.

When I made it to the bridge, I was met with officers and engineers running all over the place. The room was filled with voices, giving commands or status on the ship. In the middle of the chaos was the captain. I looked at him and, somehow knowing my presence, he looked up at me. I walked down the stairs that led to middle of the room.

I stood by the captains side as he talked to one of his officers about ways of defense against the attackers. While he was doing that, I was looking down a console that showed the status of our ship. The engines showed they were damaged and that some levels were breached. I could only imagine how many we've lost by now. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw the captain looking at me worriedly.

"Are you okay, Alex" he asked. I nodded while removing my helmet. I pulled of the helmet and tucked it underneath my arm. I saw that a few strands of my brown hair was in my face and I moved my hand up to pull them behind my ear. I looked at the captain and sighed.

"What do you need me for." I asked while I put my hand on my hip. The captain sighed and looked down at the console I was looking at.

"As you can see, we are being engaged by an IMC dreadnought. "The Ram" has taken damage on most levels and we cant jump to another system. Our weapons are also damaged so we can't exactly fight back." He pressed more buttons on the console and then a picture of the dreadnought came up. I grimaced at the sight. It said the size of the dreadnought was 2,200 meters in length. It had heavy cannons all along its side and front. What made it worse was that this was a scouting ship, so we were not meant or built for an attack. But there are ways to fight without big guns.

"I'm guessing you want me to assemble a team and take a ship to board the dreadnought?" I asked while raising a brow. The captain sighed and shook his head.

"That's the thing. I did not call you here to fight back." I look and him surprised.

"Why not?!" I exclaimed. The captain looked at me and shook his head.

"When you asked to be on this ship, you said you wanted to have a break from the action. You said you wanted some peace." he explained. I scoffed.

"Just because I said I wanted a break from a fight, that doesn't mean I will run from one." I groaned.

"I need you, Alex. I need you to protect the crew of my ship when you leave." I raised my brow. He walked over to a console and pressed a button. "Attention all crew aboard "The Ram" ,evacuate the ship immediately! This is not a drill! Abandon ship!" he yelled into a speaker. He looked back at me with a worried expression.

"What's the plan, give them the ship?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No, I'm going to redirect our course for the dreadnought." he said sadly. I gasped.

"You're going to ram the ship?!" I asked. He nodded. He then looked up at me.

"We are close to a planet that could sustain life. As the highest ranking field officer, I want you to take care of the crew once you land" he said seriously. I saw the crew members making their way out of the bridge. I then realized what he was saying.

"What about you?" I asked. He turned away from me and looked out the bridge's window that show space and the planet we are close to.

"I'm going to stay here and ram the ship manually. I will wait until all of you are off this boat." he said while frowning. I couldn't help but smile at the pun. I grabbed my helmet and slipped it over my head. He looked back at me and I gave him a half hearted salute. He smiled and saluted me back. I turned around and ran out of the bridge. I looked back the closing doors and saw the captain staring out the window into space.

I ran through the hallway that leads to the hangar. When I reached the hangar, I saw that it was in better condition than before. There weren't any destroyed titans or drop ships covering the hanger. I looked down and saw my titan getting equipped with it's guns. I ran and hopped down to where I was standing next to its feet. My titan looked down at me.

" NX-2128 prepared for drop, Pilot." she said while giving a thumbs up and opening its cockpit. I smiled and jumped up into the cockpit. I looked around the cockpit and saw the small accessories I added to make it more homey. A few pictures on the walls and a small troll bobble head on my control panel. I walked in and took a seat. The doors closed and the room became dark. A minute passed before the screen came up, showing me what was happening outside my titan.

I looked around and saw people running towards drop ships and shuttles. I then heard the captains voice come on through the coms.

"All crew members of "The Ram" prepare to evacuate and land planet side. May god save you all" He said before his voice went off. I sighed and pressed a few buttons on my console. I looked around and saw everybody in their ships. I pressed a red button and my titans voice came on.
