February 19, 1986
on the same day of Eldrin's fall
On a giant Metal fortress, more than a million Super soldiers were standing in order, looking towards a podium in the distance
Futuristic Helicopters were flying around, live streaming this Magnificent scene of pure unity to all bunkers and arcs in the human empire
Then a man walked onto the podium with a black combat suit. He was the current leader of the human empire. He then spoke in a solemn tone with a trace of fury
Today, humanity has lost its greatest protector, the Darkling, in his effort to slow down the Alien fleet to buy time for those who chose to remain divided has fallen in battle, taking out the majority of the alien fleet, leaving only less than 100,000 of them. He then said loudly, his anger finally taking control
HOWEVER, HIS SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE IN VAIN. WE WILL AVENGE HIM. WE WILL DESTROY THE ALIEN FLEET AND ALL REMAINING KREE-SKRULLS WILL BOW TO THE WHOLE HUMANITY AND WILL REMEMBER THIS AS THE LAST DAY OF THEIR EXISTENCE!
He then saluted and said loudly
FOR THE LIGHT FOR HUMANITY AND FOR THE DARKLING!
THUD!
Over a million super soldiers simultaneously gave a salute, including all the people in the arcs and bunkers
The Darkling was the great protector of humanity. Mothers told stories about his great deeds, grandfathers told their stories of being rescued by him from the wicked organization called Hydra, history teachers in schools considered him a deity who chose to intervene in mortal affairs, there were even action figures of him being sold in almost all stores, and today, he gave his life to save the divided. And because of that The Kree-Skrull have angered humanity as a whole; their death won't be painless
Inside Erskine Office
Adam has the divided nations evacuated, asked Erskine in a serious tone
Yes, sir, all divided nations have successfully evacuated their citizens
Sign ~ They made it just in time; had it not been for Eldrin's sacrifice, we would have been attacked 2 days ago, the casualties of the divided would have been catastrophic, said Dr.Abrahams with relief. He then muttered with sadness while looking at the dark sky outside his window
Thanks, Eldrin
After a few moments, he turned his attention towards Adam and said with a steeled resolve, give the order to all military facilities of the human empire to activate arc reactor-powered weapons, lock into the fleet we need to make them think that they could take us, and save tesseract-powered weapons for a surprise attack. We will show them that infiltration is impossible
At the nearest military facility of the human empire, a general said in a serious tone
Orders from Director Erskine himself activate the arc cannons and lock in to the alien fleet outside the atmosphere
Similar events happened to all military facilities in the human empire
Outside the Earth's atmosphere, inside the mothership
stood the Kree-Skrull Imperial Minister, who then said, sent 2000 ships to infiltrate their ranks in all regions
After the orders were given, 2000 spaceships separated from the fleet and entered Earth's atmosphere, but not long after
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
They were destroyed by the Arc cannons
It seems they already know we are here said the Kree-Skrull Imperial minister in surprise, and continued with a calm tone infiltration is impossible. With our reduced numbers, we can't afford sacrifices, but their weapons are not much of a threat to our force fields
He then said, Track the region of those bases and initiate planetary bombardment with Kree ballistic missiles
After he gave those orders, medium-sized ships started firing towards the precise locations of those bases
In almost an instant, hundreds of locations around Europe were struck
In one of the many military facilities
A general asked, status of the durability of the force fields
99% general, answered an AI similar to Adam
The hundreds of military facilities that were struck remained unharmed, protected by arc-powered force fields
And naturally, those bases fired back with arc-powered cannons towards the fleet
incoming attack from multiple regions, sir reported a Kree-Skrull
The Kree-Skrull minister said unconcerned
Pay no mind to their attacks; they won't do anything. They are merely inferior laser weapons
He then paused and said
What about the status of those bases?!
They are unharmed, sir. They seem to possess force fields, too
The Kree-Skrull Imperial Minister then thought grimly
We cannot win a war of attrition. We have limited resources, but they have a whole planet. Although they can't do anything to us with those weapons, we also can't do anything to them. Infiltration is also impossible. It would be wise to retreat and call for backup
Damn it, that's the inferior technology that our informants talked about!?, he said, tired and angry. He then gave an order, " We retreat now. We will temporarily reside on Mars while waiting for backup
Back in Erskine's office
They are retreating, sir. They seem to be heading towards Mars, said Adam
What?, Erskine said, confused. Did Eldrin weaken them so much that they are scared of arc-powered weapons, but then he was reminded of something, but now that I think about it, it said on that paper that the original fleet was 700.000 but now they are only a little over 97.000 spaceships remaining. They can't afford a war of attrition with only 97.000 spaceships, but if it were their entire fleet of 700.000 a war of attrition could be fought, and we wouldn't have been able to focus on infiltrators.
He then gave an order: fire the tesseract-powered weapons, leave no one alive
Back to the now retreating alien fleet
Sir, we have detected energy beams of unknown nature coming towards our fleet said a Kree Skrull with anxiety towards the Kree Skrull imperial minister, who then turned and said, confused
Wh-
BOOOM!
But unfortunately for him, he couldn't finish speaking because he and his whole fleet disintegrated into nothing
