Author's Notes:

Okay. I know it's been a while but I have an explanation. I recently finished basic training and entered my AIT. I won't bore you with the details but that's why I haven't updated along with the fact that I was fighting with the state to get an ID didn't help either but thankfully I got in and finished basic. Chapter will be coming out again and I'm so sorry for making you all wait so long but thank those who took and interest and still have an interest in the story. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Dark Phoenix POV: One thing I hated to do was fight those who were many tiers below Humanity in both culture and technology. If we gave them a Blood Lust they'd blow themselves up while trying to figure out what made it tick which would result in several cities or towns being destroyed. These people couldn't begin to comprehend the struggles that Humanity had gone through to achieve what it has achieved. In every species lifetime there is an era of Trials in which they are tested to see if they're worthy to continue existing in the universe, a large part of me worried about the trials these creatures would have to go through. "Mister Phoenix"? I heard a voice behind me and I spun around quickly, finding both the sisters behind me. "I know it may be a bad time but…could you tell us what happened to your people after you were made to leave"? I watched Celestia shuffle her wings which made me sigh. "Tomorrow, I have to take care of some things". I said with an even tone before walking away.

Luna and Celestia POV: "Well that went better than expected". Celestia commented as she looked at Luna to which Luna only laughed. "What's that mean? Did you think he'd try to eat us or something"? Luna chuckled lightly as she said that. "No, I just expected him to flat out say no or not say anything. We already know a rough history but I have a feeling that there's more to him and his people than we think". Celestia watched Luna tilt her head. "We could just go into his dreams, we might find something there and gain some more information as to where he's from". Luna watched him disappear around the corner. Celestia looked at her sister thoughtfully. "Well I will allow it but try not to delve into his personal matters. We don't need a repeat of the 26th". She started to crack up after that while Luna blushed. "We were t-trying to help. We had no idea that child had dreams of us". Luna stuttered slightly as she turned a bright shade of red…well more of a purple because of her fur color. "Though we do need to see who he really was before he came here". With that Luna returned to her room where she began to search for the Human. She found his dream as it held a strange energy that other dreams didn't have. She entered it and boy was she in for the ride of her life as she began to follow him around.

Dark Phoenix POV: Sighing I set my AR-45 down and leaned it against some of the railing on the balcony. I closed my eyes and got sleep for the first time in a while. My dreams wandered to the battle of the planet of Marasi. It was an alien planet at the time, not part of the U.S.E when we first arrived. The Drey had begun an attack on the planet and we had intercepted a plea for help. We believed that the people thought that if a hostile alien race was attacking then maybe there was a friendly alien race that could get to them and save them. The dream started where we intercepted the transmission and plea for help.

Dream world: "Sky Commander! We have a priority one message intercept! We just translated it and you need to hear it"! Came the call from a corporal who was in charge of communications traffic control. The Dark Phoenix walked over to the young male, his red eyes showing concern. "Where's it from first off"? He asked and the Corporal brought up a small map before identifying a small planet. "X-ray one four nine nine three. It's a good sized world and we did send an All Terrain Unmanned Recon Drone to watch it. The images we received don't show anything good though. The Drey have laid siege to the world". Dark Phoenix sighed and let out a small growl. "Play the message". He ordered the corporal who tapped a few holokeys and the message began to play. "Please...i-if anyone is out. I-f any...cares. We're in danger. We....verge...extinction, Please help. We......beg.....". The corporal turned to the Sky Commander who was seething. "Set the ship to FPCON Alpha now"! He yelled to the bridge before the sound of soldiers and sailors moving about with a purpose was heard behind him. The alarms went off as the lights dimmed and the defense metal blast armor covered the view, cameras activating as they gave them a view of the outside.

"All personnel report to battle stations. I want the 1,879th Lightning drop battalion LDTs (Lightning Drop Troopers.) in the hangar now! Star Killer recon teams and sapper teams are to deploy once we arrive! The 807th armored battalion will attach themselves to the 1,879th. This is an extinction class event people, get to it"! He yelled as the ship jumped. "Weapon systems are hot and ready Sky commander, Diablo interceptors and Pillar Of Fire bombers are on stand by, all HDS-25s are being loaded as we speak. ETA till we reach the planet in two minutes". Came the captain of his ship. The U.S.I.S Eclipse was a World Burner class battleship meaning it was heavily armed and armored but still fast and agile. In each fleet there was 100 ships made up of battleships, galaxy fighting frigates, a few carriers, and one planetary defender. The combat troops in each fleet numbered 500,000 in total. The ships fell out and a shudder was felt as purple phasna energy went flying from the U.S.I.S Eclipse, slamming into a larger but more primitive Drey ship, gutting the ship it hit and tearing it apart. "All forces commence attack on the enemy fleet and defend this world"! He ordered as he ran towards the hangar to get in one of the HDS-25 Heavy Duty dropships.

On the planet below the people huddled together as their last city began to lose it's defenses one by one, the people crying out in fear and anguish as they believed this was their end. The children cried and asked their parents if they were going to be okay and the parents tried to be strong but why lie to a child when your world was going to end? Suddenly there was a new sound, not the whine of the alien weapons, not the screams of the dying or wounded. It sounded like thunder. The sound came again and out of the sky came alien transports, screaming towards the ground before pulling up suddenly and landing. The transport dropped off a tank and about twenty soldiers who went into buildings, looking for survivors, and assuring them that everything would be okay. The people looked up to the sky once more to one of the hostile alien ships falling from the sky and they felt hope. The universe had not abandoned them, help had come in the form of angels on metal wings. The people's cries turned from anguish to joy as many watched the new comers battle the hostile aliens that came before. The new aliens (the U.S.E.) cutting down the enemy and saving the lives of many wounded. Outside of the city the U.S.E deployed troops in large numbers and was soon joined by more as additional U.S.E fleets jumped in to assist in the liberation and saving of the species.

The ride down was smooth even with the enemy AA. The Sky commander opened the back door as it flew over the battlefield. "LDTs, what are we"?! He called to the twenty soldiers with him. "WE ARE ANGELS OF VENGEANCE"! They responded. "Damn straight! Get ready to jump"! He yelled and activated his helmet, closing it over his face. "3, 2, 1. The light is green! Go go go"! He called through his communication system as each of the twenty soldiers jumped off before he followed. He dove towards the ground, targeting a Drey soldier as it prepared to kill a civilian. They didn't last long as he landed on top of the creature, crushing it underneath him from his impact. He grabbed the civilian and placed them behind him as enemy fire came his way which his shields blocked easily. He returned fire, killing the hostile before him. The twenty he had jumped out with formed a defensive line as armor and additional troops dropped behind them. A pair of soldiers grabbed the civilian from behind him and escorted them away from the battle towards the sections of the city that had been secured. "FORM A PERIMETER AND HOLD THEM HERE"! He yelled through the communication system that linked him with the rest of the battalion. He continued the fight against the enemy, holding back several waves before being shoved to the ground by another soldier who's head went missing due to an extremely lucky shot, coating him in blood as his head popped like a tomato.

Dark Phoenix POV: I awoke with a start. "FUCK"! I yelled and shot up, wiping the blood from my armor. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"! I yelled again as I wiped away blood that I didn't realize was not there before laying back against pillar, breathing hard as my hands shook. I checked myself as I shook ,for any blood, praying that it was only a dream. It took several minutes before I finally calmed down as there was no blood on my armor. I couldn't sleep for the rest of that night.

Luna POV: I was shoved out the dream and left with a sad smile. He was a good person but...the horrors. Celestia and I had never seen war on this scale or the desire to protect so strong. I had seen many things in his dream. I saw a being who was smart, who put the lives of those he didn't even know before his own, he was brave as he dove into battle with his troops to lead them. I also saw something else too. I saw someone who fought with the desire to die but couldn't, I saw horrors and burning cities, I saw how it impacted him bringing out the anger and sadness, I saw the torture he went though on a daily basis. I heard a yell and repeated cursing after the ending of the dream where he saw one of his own get his head taken off. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"! I peered outside to see him trying to wipe off blood that wasn't there. I saw him shaking as he looked himself over and finally calm down minutes later. A single sentence left my mouth as I saw the sad sight before me. "Even angels suffer".
