The rock smashed into Ivan's robotic arm.
It began to quiver and shake, as the energy core began to go unstable.
He glanced at it, then back at Aliza.
"Today is a good day to die!"

He jumped back up, and charged Aliza again.

The general knew they would be in big trouble if Martin discovered what happened to New Haven. The general responds, "We were in need of re-supply here. Why do you question us so at a time like this?"

Ivan jumped forward, unsheathing his great grandfather's sword.
"I will crush you!"

He whipped the blade forward and prepared to strike.

Aliza flipped over Ivan's head, her blades making small cuts along his shoulders and back. "Ivan, you will die here and now." she spun her blades around so they pointed downward in her hands, she thrust them towards Ivan's spine...

Ivan felt a slight pain in his lower half. He reached down, and felt blood.
He knew it was over.

Very.. very slowly he reached into his pocket, and drew an ancient 6-shooter pistol, long forgotten by the rest of the world.

"ashes.. to.. ashes." he said, putting the pistol to his head.
There was a sound of thunder.. then everything went black.

The nuclear core inside the robotic arm detonated, blasting the cave with fire.

"Er, no, Martin. Not at all," the general said. He then saw several pods launch from one of Martin's ships towards New Haven and continued, "Where are you sending those troops?"

The dropship engines made a loud roar as it slowed to a hover then landed behind the citadel. The merc got out and holstered a silenced pistol. If he were going to have to encounter Pat when he would find Blake, he would need to hide his identity as a merc. He then slowly walked around the building towards the gunshots...

Across the galaxy, inside an expansive, yet dark and deserted control room, the last of a series of lights blinked, then faded out.

The last gatekeeper had fallen.

Outside, the Tempest's lights began to blink on, revealing the leviathan as it was: a collosus of neosteel and exanium, over 2000 miles in size...

The guardian knew, it was now safe to complete the mission; the last one who could stop him was gone.

the Tempest opened a rift in subspace, and began it's journey into infamy.

Blake saw the immense explosion and took cover behind the broken pillar but knew it wouldn't work. Blake felt the heat and several fragments cutting across his body and face, then all went dark...
