1 Prologue

In the orbit of the mayor world known as Elysium IV in the pleiades star sector two major forces are fighting to the end; for one part we have the Humanity's Common Fleet or HCF with more than eight thousands cruisers, four thousands corvets, one thousand destroyers, two thousand war ships and one hundred mother ships, and for the other the Precursors fleet a conglomeration of more than one thousand extraterrestial species that live in this galaxy with numbers equal or slighty more than the HCF.

The two fleets are destroying everything in their path, the HCF put everything in this major war in wich case the results will bring results or will become a disaster; as the battle continued more and more death bodies and debris float in the cold space.

In the HSS "Norweian Pirate" that belongs to the squadron "Sons of War" more than one thousand mechs and his pilots are being debifried by their commander officer and superior Three Star General of the HCF Karl Fabian Mont about the mission that was issued by the high command.

"My friends in this day we will end this war! if we win that will put humanity at the top of the food chain and if we lose we will become a laughing stock for the rest of our lives" the powerful voice was heard by everyone in the angar bay, the general continued his speech " out there good men and women are battling, issuing orders, repairing ships or mechs and fighting against the precursors that in the age of exploration laugh at us for our primitive technology!" he waited that what he says sink in the minds of the squadron, lifting his hand he signals at the viewing plataform "Those morons known as the precursors were the ones that ignited this war when they attacked our precious colonies in the center of the galaxy 'We are a threat they say', 'We are evildoers' 'We are locusts that consume everything in their path' ohh no! we are nothing of that! we are warriors that fought at the injustice of those people only because it only took us five hundred years to rival the strenght of all of them combined, our parents in the different colonies out there are waiting for us, our lovers are waiting for us, Humanity is waiting for US! and above all else They count on Us!"

The monitors of the entire Norweian Pirate is displaying the speech of their general He is tall with a height of 1.9 mts broud shoulders powerful muscles are demarqued in his space suit, a head full of black hair a tall nose and a very trim beard with brown eyes that and very humble apereance, he is not handsome but his imposing aura command obedience. His aura is the result of being one of the three thousand god pilots that exist in the mists of humanity and also because he survived to tale the tale in all his deployments, in wich you could also say that he danced with death all his carrer since he was a simple mech cadet in the mech academy in Mars.

"Our liders decided to put an end to this fight...this is our objective" the general signals and a massive flag ship is displayed. utilizing the exosquelet of a very old lifeform known as primordials this massive ship of aproximately 30 km in lenght 10 km in high and 15 in with is the flag ship of the precursors in wich all their most high ranking personel is in it."

"This is a very tought nut to crack and i will be sincere with you some of us will not return even our very own ship will not return, our orders are to make a mini jump to a minimum distance of only 10 kilometers of the flag ship, the tidal forces will resulting from the jump will render the scort of the flagship in absolute disarray and with a lot of luck destroy the main cannons and put down the shields of our objective. Make no mistake even if all of that work the armor of that thing will be very hard to break so we will utilize the fangs of megalodon to open certain areas and over there two hundred of our mechs will enter as a shock troop and later our marines in the tortoise shell exosuit will clean the remnants".

The tortoise shell exosuit is an exosuit build with a lot of exotics, its green color and exagonal plating make it look like a tortoise shell but make no mistake they are not slow with ammunition to literaly blast open armored gates they are pretty much the nutcrackers of the Alliance Navy. the mech pilots that are deployed consists of one hundred and fifty master pilots and fifty grand masters, that's a very huge numer of master and grand master pilots to be deployed in a single fight, with that you could say that humanity is taking very serious this war.

"My comrades myself and two more generals will accompanying you in this endevour" that words created at first a silence so deep that you could say that the ship was abandoned and drifting in the expanse, to only erupt in a clamor of war cries acroos the ship. Is known that the general is one of the three thousands god pilots in existance! What is a God pilot? a god pilot is the one that can manifest their absolute will in physical form, only prime mechs are capable of unleashing this feature; also the Prime mechs are named after the gods or heroes in human myth. The Prime mech of the general is known as the harbinger of wind and fire QX-001-MM Quetzalcoatl a multipurpuse Prime mech catered in destruction at close quarters .

"My fellow generals are General Samantha Penthon piloting the AZ-010-RX Phentesilea and Major General Alistair Yuu Corwin Piloting the RR-017-CU Arjuna, the three of us together with the rest of the mech pilots and the Norweian Pirate will protect our shock troops for the reinforces that the precursors throw at us. The mission will start at the 23:00 GST of the 16 september of 2122 of the Universal Century also from this moment on the Sons of War will be in radio silence, that is all! I'll see you all when we commence operation Downfall dismissed"

After a very solemn debrifing the three generals went to the command room to finish the last touches of the mission in there each one of them decided to share their concerns and hopes

"Karl... don't you think that this mission is a very very bad idea?" asked General Samantha a perfect woman in every aspect with blonde hair that reachs her shoulders tied in a ponytail, blue eyes that shine like the blue sky in old earth, a height of 1.85 cm a perfect figure... no matter if you are looking for an ugly spot you will not find anything. Her role in the oncoming battle is to make time to the infiltrating team but her concern is in the rulers that the enemy still have.

The rulers are somekind of biological mech that the precursors developed in hopes to match the rapid development of human mechs and the increasing ammount of them. There isn't much information about them only that there are a few of them with the power to match a Prime Mech. In reality you need three Rulers to match a Prime Mech.

"That's right Karl this mission is basically a suicide mission! Our job is to die with the precursors and the rulers that they still have, I saw that the mission especifically needs to bring ten nuclear warheads! we are not to take control of the ship what we are ordered to do is realease the fireworks and let them know that their leaders are dead" Manifested his opinion the other star general Alistar Yuu Corwin, a superhuman enhanced with the latest gen terapy that the alliance has access. He is 2.10 mts in height with auburn hair, yellow eyes that can make a lot of people shut their mouth for being only watched by him. As a God Pilot his gen adaptation is an incredible EX in the Breaker Ladder.

The Breaker Ladder is the genetic apptitude that all humans have. In it you could find that only cadedts with a genetical apptitude of D- can pilot a mech without friying their brains; the ladder is divided from the lowest to the higest (F, E, D-, D, D+, C-, C, C+, B- B, B+, A-, A, A+, S, SS and EX). it was invented by Roman Birckman, Rosanda Ryu, Wu Eist, Javier Amanda, Laura Kent, Gerald Endur and Romina Ri.

General Samantha has a B+ apptitude and General Karl a B apptitude. Theoretically an EX rank could trounce a B rank but in reality Alistar is the only EX rank that made it to become a God Pilot rank is not everything in becoming a god pilot the rank only give you an edge but thats all; that is the case with Admiral and God Pilot Anuar Lim his apptitude is D- but surviving in battles and thanks to his will he became the second God Pilot in existance. The very first god pilot is none other that Amanda Silverwing a woman that literally truonce every man in her path.

After listening to his friends Karl is pensive and after a few seconds he started to talk. "Jack what are our odds to survive the incoming mission?" in the briefing room a VI (Virtual Inteligence) made its appereance, it has a classic pirate outfit with a pirate hat, a black trench coat, a coutlas in its waist and a bottle of rum in his hand.

"You know karl... the possibilities to survive is so small that you have a major chance in winning the alliance Lotto... Hip... by the way i buyed the ticked in your name, who knows mayme you could win the first place against the others 300 trillions people that are part of the alliance... Hip... also the price has no expiration date"

Karl was thinking how is possible for a VI to have personality, but only him knows the truth that in fact this "VI" is a fully functional "AI" that has a pench for ancient music, movies and books. even its personality is the result for seeing who knows how many times a pirate movie.

"So karl... how about if we... you know..." making a hesture with its hands about running the hell out of here Jack is conveying its message. "we can't and you know it... so put away that flipant personality of yours and be serious this time." those were like magic the AI changed its appereance to a very stoic figure tall, with broud shoulders, white hair that reach the shoulders a black armor

two swords are in his back, a silver medallion in the form of a wolf is sitting in its chest and also a very acid personality couppled with very creapy yellow eyes make it look like it was bussines time.

if a very old fan could see it, he will recognize that costume "Gerald de Rivia"

With a Grave voice "There's not much that i can tell you that you already know. the Norweian Pirate has the power to make a hole in that monstruosity but thats all, the batteries and cannons can tear appart our ship so, lets make a few adjustments." changing again this time to an old scientist that even in this time is known "Albert Einstein" it starts making calculations, after a few minutes it project a new animation.

"Ok my fellow companions this is the plan that i devised. as you know our ship has a lenght of ten kilometers with the form of an arrow head so how about insted of jumping to ten killometers we jump to the minimum that is teoretically possible 100 meters, when the jump is complete we burn the star engine at full and concentrate our entire forces in the sides and rear of our ship meanwhile we put our shields at maximum only in the prow of our ship and we ram them, after that all our main cannons and mechs launch a devastating power punch to their fleet that will render them in and absolute panic and the tidal forces will break not only their shields also their armor... lets put things in perspective in all my calculations if we jump to a distance equal or larger than a Kilometer we are screwed so how about if we do the impossible in reality a minimum jump, no ship in existance not even the ones of extinct races achieved that, fortunaly for you i'm right here"

Silence absolute and complete silence... "umm it could work?" general Alistar with a lot of doubts commented breaking the silence.

"yeah... but our ship will be glued to them and if everything go well how is that we escape in the end?" General Samantha made a very valid observation

"Don't worry i will think about that, Jack caliber the inertial dampers in the ship to literaly stop at that distance if the calibrations are off for a pico we are screwed so make all the calculations" General Karl made the ultimate desicion and with that the three of them retired to their cuarters to have a really good sleep because who knows if that will be their last.

The Norweian pirate entered in somekind of estasis as all personel on board was sleeping well all except its commander, walking to the vault in the ship that has the entanglement nodes and the core procesor of Jack, Karl enters to the vault after passsing more than 10 levels of security.

"General Karl Fabian Mont, member of the Sons of war, affilation number 731.867.361.299_AXE, RH B+ Genetic apptitude B, Iris Scan, Genetic Scan and Mental Scan are all clear, you may acces General"

"Jack tell me the truth what is the minimum distance that we can make." Karl knows as a fact that Jack is the first of the AI that the alliance created for this war and also that the AI is concerned with the safeguard of all humans abbord of the ship

"Master the minimun distance teoretically is one meter, but in that case the posibilities of surviving that are zero, at that distance the inertial dampers break do to the tidal forces and our mass. As you know about the famous E=mc2 the energy that result from the jump will destroy everything in its path if the dampers aren't calibrated; in space if you make a jump the exit point needs to be clear of debris in a radius of 10 kilometers becuase if you are in that range you will be vaporized if the mass of your ship is less than us for a ten to one scale. At one meter the energy will destroy us without a doubt by the difference in mass between us and the precursor ship so in my calculations 100 meters is the most optimal distance for our success in causing major damage to our enemies and also to survive the jump." Jack

"Ok jack, put the Quetzalcoatl, Phentesilea and Arjuna in the rear of the ship i will use my speciality as a Knight Class Mech to cause as much damage possible and also in case that the mission is complete i want you to launch the spatial flare and that all personal evacuates the ship including the Penthesilea and Arjuna, after all that is complete activate the star drive and jump to the nearest black hole, don't worry i will be with you after all for more than one hundred years we were together battling" Karl

"I will need the password and voice confimation when that happens..." jack

"it will be" Karl

At 22:59 GST (Galactic Standard Time) the Norweian Pirate started his final push to the star window

"We will be victorius" was the phrase that all the personel aboard say when the marker was 23:00 GST.
