Departure

-4 hours before lift off-

A tall middle-aged woman crying and standing by near the entrance of her home with two young kids looking up wondering what is going on.

"Mama... why are you sad?"

she looks down to her children

"I-I'm not sad... Its just daddy is leaving right now..."

"Bye! I'll be back as fast as possible!"

"BYE DAD! See you later!"

After quick goodbyes, Quill hurries off to the idling car that was waiting for him as the move went on. Getting into the car not looking back he headed off into the distance heading to the military base.

"Colonel are you ready?"

Quill looks at this young soldier. Thinking to himself how young this boy is and that he is too young to be sent out to the field where no one knows what is going to happen.

"Why are you asking me? Shouldn't I be the one to ask if you are ready?"

"Yes sir, I am ready for the mission at hand!"

"Ok, then let us get this going..."

-5 HOURS-

*BEEP*

(robotic noise)

-Attention ship is about to depart I repeat it is about to depart-

Colonel. Quill looks out the window as the ship departs towards Mars awaiting the chaos that will ensue as the rebellion is growing in strength.

-8 Months Later-

"Hey, Colonel how long till we reach Mars?"

"One more month trooper"

"Damn hopefully we are going to land on a platform that is still there..."

"Ya, for sure..."

Without giving eye contact Quill leaves the trooper to his own thing and walks towards the cockpit to see the progress of the trip.

As he walks towards the cockpit there was a big explosion on the starboard side of the ship... then the alarms are blaring out as the ship begins to make evasive maneuvers from the unidentified ship that is attacking the ship.

Quill instead of going to the cockpit he decides to run to the command center of the ship to see what is going on as they need to find what the thing is to identify how to combat the unidentified object from the different people that they have to face.

Once Quill arrived at the command center he was shocked to see the chaos of all the naval officers as they don't know what is going on.

Quill goes in looking for the commander in charge and discovers that he is not there. So instead he finds a sergeant that was looking at the map of the outside...

"Hey! What is going on here!?"

"Colonel it looks like its a ship that they rebels commandeered..."

"WHAT! HOW DID THEY DO THAT!!!"

" I do not know sir"

"This is not good..."

As this means that the location that they were heading is not secure and need to find a new location on Mars that will accommodate the UN troops will need to find a way to land.

"Hey, Sergeant find a different location where we are able to land, IMMEDIATELY!"

"YES SIR"

Quill then orders the ship to use it's batteries against the enemy ship as they get closer to Mars.

"Sir our shields are unsustainable we need to detach from the fight"

"Get the ground crew sees if they still exist so we can make a run for it!"

"YES, SIR!"

This fight with the enemy fighter is going pretty poorly as it is a transport ship, not a destroyer. As if this fight continues then it will not work as well as the people could do.

"Sir we got a connection and they said that the area is secure and have an intact defense system"

"Okay...lets break off and make a run for the landing platform"

The ship turns and starts running towards the platform but the enemy ship is following them still firing at them as they run to the location in Mars.

-1 Month Later-

The finally make it to the location now known as Dome 3 as only 3 Domes are still under UN control. As they were able to lose that enemy ship by using maneuvers that were unconventional. However, there were some casualties from the fight but no deaths which were a good thing for the cause. As the need to fight was the necessary step for them to start the resistance from the greedy Rebels that are trying to fight for independence in Mars.

Again thanks for reading this chapter and hopefully it is interesting...
