-=<{ Well, SRE: 6 is finally here. I hope you liked the new beginning.
|
|
I decided it was time for a change from the old-style SRE logo. Anyway,
|
|
SRE: 5 was by far a little more graphic than any of it's predecessors. I
|
|
hope it didn't offend any of you. SRE: 6 is not as graphic, but it has
|
|
lots of great things I know you'll love. It finishes out the SRE IV
|
|
through SRE 6 trilogy with a bang. Until next time... ENJOY!
|
|
|
|
|
|
---\ Prologue
|
|
|
|
Men were so foolish. The warring spirit of the Sree Galaxy had spread
|
|
throughout this Universe, and it had cost almost trillions of lives. Now
|
|
the Universe was divided into those involved with the dominance of the
|
|
Underground and those wishing to free the Universe FROM the dominance of
|
|
the Underground. Both sides were seeking peace, but the only way this
|
|
would end in peace was through another war.
|
|
|
|
---\ The Story
|
|
|
|
The Underground was trying to forge out a new government to rule the
|
|
Universe in conuction with the other Galaxies. Amoko knew this would be
|
|
the only way to survive. He had temporarily eradicated the Underground's
|
|
fleet, but his own armada was destroyed as well. They were at a
|
|
standstill for now, and peace seemed the only alternative. The Galactic
|
|
Coordinator had died in an accident involving a misdirected fighter, so
|
|
Amoko was on his own in negotiations.
|
|
|
|
Cyber no longer cared about his citizens. he'd converted all his
|
|
planets, except his urban areas, into military supply planets. The
|
|
Underground wasn't going to get it in easy with HIM. He was concerned
|
|
with Amoko's ability to work out terms with the Underground. Valiance
|
|
was sly, and Cyber knew it.
|
|
|
|
This was pure idiocy. There was a Universal bloodbath going on, and
|
|
noone was doing anything to stop it. The League of Famished Empires was
|
|
tired of the fighting. Tired of the Underground uprising, and then being
|
|
beaten back down, always with a heavy cost in lives. Tired of
|
|
independents rising up to quell the Underground, always with a heavy
|
|
cost in lives. It seemed as though the slaughter would never end. A way
|
|
had to be found to work out these problems peacefully.
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 2
|
|
|
|
Amoko was under pressure from the LoFE and the Undeground to work out a
|
|
mutual cease-fire, and some sort of temporary government for the
|
|
Universe. Amoko knew that doing something like that was stupid, but for
|
|
the sake of keeping peace within the ranks of his Armada, and the people
|
|
he was fighting FOR, he had to do it. If only there was some way to get
|
|
around it... But there wasn't. He would have to page Valiance over the
|
|
VidCom and begin working out terms...
|
|
|
|
The government had been founded. Dubbed 'Federation of Universal
|
|
Powers,' it consisted of members from three parties; The Underground
|
|
Fascist party (TUF, or 'Tough' as some called it), The Galaxial
|
|
Independence party (TGI, or 'Teeji' as some called it), and the
|
|
Not-Enough-Action party (NEA, or 'Get off your lazy butt party' as some
|
|
called it). The FUP had a panel of 7 members. Three were Toughs, three
|
|
more were Teejies, and one was a NEA member. Together, they voted on
|
|
issues, and passed laws. Or so it was in some demented person's mind. It
|
|
never really worked that way. Today a violent shouting match had erupted
|
|
over the issue of setting up boundaries for Underground space and
|
|
Galaxial boundaries.
|
|
|
|
Khoteth knew it wouldn't last. It simply couldn't. The Toughies were out
|
|
to dominate the Universe, while the Teejies were trying to liberate it.
|
|
And the NEA... well, it was just a bunch of people tired of fighting,
|
|
that wanted some peaceful activites to start. Totally opposite causes
|
|
would never find room to compromise. Government had historically been a
|
|
problem, especially on the planet Los Arret, where the idea originated,
|
|
centuries ago. To put a bridle on freedom was absurd. Each empire should
|
|
set up it's own laws, not rely on a Universal Federation to order each
|
|
empire to operate the same way. Only God should do such a thing, not
|
|
men. Khoteth just waited patiently for it all to crumble into War..
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 3
|
|
|
|
"We will not take anything less than the Geos Sector!!!" screamed Hikru,
|
|
the Tough ambassador. Poksi, ambassador for the Teeji party, replied,
|
|
"We all know very well what you will do with the Geos Sector. Production
|
|
of the PsiBomb has been illegalized, and you cannot erect another
|
|
facility. Take the Peeza Septant, and no more." D'kn, NEA
|
|
representative, drummed his appendanges. "Gentlemen, we can't argue over
|
|
this anymore. The Underground already owns half the Universe. Keep it at
|
|
that, and lets move on to something else," he said. Hikru stared at him.
|
|
"That is a good idea, D'kn," he said. Hikru had no sooner finished
|
|
speaking, when the windows burst open, and six masked figures entered
|
|
the room. Two of the men opened fire on Poksi and D'kn. The two men, in
|
|
turn, grabbed Hikru and left as the remaining four set fire to all the
|
|
documents and computers in the conference room.
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 4
|
|
|
|
Dead. The Underground had sent men to assassinate the opposite members
|
|
of the Boundary Council. Amoko was enraged. The FUP was not working the
|
|
way he'd hoped. His armada was near 100% efficiency, and the
|
|
Underground's was almost near the same level of completion. He would be
|
|
demolishing the Toughies soon enough.
|
|
|
|
Valiance was delighted with the news. The assassins killed the
|
|
ambassadors, torched the documents, and made it out alive. Now all that
|
|
remained was to kill the assassins, so no evidence remained. Invasion of
|
|
the Teeji homefront would come soon. He clasped his hands in
|
|
anticipation of the coming war. Total domination of the Universe would
|
|
come soon.
|
|
|
|
The NEA knew it was bound to happen. This is why they labeled themselves
|
|
the 'Not-Enough-Action' Party. With the Teeji dominating the 'free' side
|
|
of the Universe, more outbreaks like this were bound to occur. Somehow,
|
|
the Teejies had to be disarmed. The NEA leaders wanted a share of the
|
|
Teeji homefront, and use it to destroy the Teeji Party. Politics were
|
|
easy to manipulate, but war was hard to keep from precipitating.
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 5
|
|
|
|
This was it. Amoko was going to screw the entire Universe up, if Cyber
|
|
didn't stop him. A government with parties. The idea was ridiculous. In
|
|
less than a week, there'd already been an assassination, and the
|
|
Toughies were behind it. He didn't want to waste his miltary in a coup,
|
|
because that would make him vulnerable to Underground attacks. He'd have
|
|
to do this politically, from the Left; Use the NEA Party.
|
|
|
|
Amoko watched the VidCom carefully. "The Underground Fascist Party is
|
|
officially withdrawing from the Federation of Universal Powers. The TUF
|
|
Party will be officially rechristened the 'Dark Alliance,' and member
|
|
partisans are welcome to join the new Alliance. In lieu of recent
|
|
terrorist actions beyond our control, we feel such an independent move
|
|
is necessary. Dark Alliance envoys will, of course, attend imporant FUP
|
|
conventions, as the Underground must have a say in such matters, and to
|
|
give the Teeji Party unchecked domination of legal proceedings is
|
|
suicide," said Valiance. Sickening. If Valiance actually thought the
|
|
Universe would be fooled by him over the assassination, he was dead
|
|
wrong. The Dark Alliance had been reincarnated. Valiance had much
|
|
experience with the man who had engineered battles and takeovers:
|
|
MaceMan himself. Amoko needed to be careful if he wanted to outwit the
|
|
cunning of Valiance.....
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 6
|
|
|
|
The PsiBomb production was beginning again. Valiance knew if he could
|
|
get enough PsiBombs quickly, the Universe was his. The damn FUP ploy
|
|
bought him precious time, and Amoko had been fool enough to agree to it.
|
|
A new weapon was also being created. The Nioxyl Missle (His engineers
|
|
were calling it the 'NioBomb'), a deadly combination of Nickel Acid, and
|
|
AntiOx (Oxygen in an antimatteric state), was under testing. It had the
|
|
ability to destroy single Galaxies at a time. He had a complete arsenal
|
|
of weapons like the Nuclear Missle, the Chemical Weapon, the Biological
|
|
Weapon, the Psionic Bomb, and the Nioxyl Missle, and they could wipe the
|
|
existence of governments, political parties, and Underground enemies off
|
|
the map...
|
|
|
|
The Teeji scientists had discovered a way to stop the effects of the
|
|
PsiBomb. A compound called Trilithium Psioxide had been discovered to
|
|
dampen the effects of the PsiBomb to the level of mere irritation. With
|
|
TriPsiox shields in place, the PsiBomb's effects would be at the same
|
|
level as a headache to people it affected after impact. Nothing more
|
|
than that. It was time for the Universe to begin developing weapons of
|
|
it's own, to combat the Underground when the Battle began..
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 7
|
|
|
|
The NEA Party had rejected Cyber. He knew noone would take him except
|
|
the Underground. And he didn't want to join the Underground. The
|
|
Underground would crush him, and use him. Cyber thought he'd found a way
|
|
to discredit Amoko, but he wasn't completely sure yet, and the process
|
|
would take time. If he could convince the Universe that Amoko was unfit
|
|
for command, and Cyber should replace him, then perhaps Cyber could get
|
|
something done.
|
|
|
|
Deep inside the NEA headquarters, a secret meeting was taking place. The
|
|
LoFE (League of Famished Empires (From Sree)) leaders were meeting with
|
|
the heads of the NEA Party. The LoFE had created several chapters in
|
|
other Galaxies, long before the Underground had destroyed several other
|
|
Galaxies. Still, the LoFE had many empires and planets under it's
|
|
control, all in need of help. If the NEA and LoFE pooled resources, they
|
|
could create a formidable front that could possibly help them overtake
|
|
the Universe after the TGI Armada and the Dark Alliance met
|
|
head-to-head. Once officiated, the new alliance of the NEA, and the
|
|
LoFE's planets and empires, would be christened 'The Planetary
|
|
Federation of Galaxies'.
|
|
|
|
When Amoko heard of the news about the PFG, he decided to shut down
|
|
Sree's Empirial System. There were few emperors still left, but many,
|
|
many realms and empires that had been abandoned or severly destroyed. By
|
|
getting rid of the empirial hierarchy, and combining all the realms into
|
|
one gigantic Galaxial Realm, he hoped to be a stronger force against the
|
|
Dark Alliance. A welcome side effect of this decision would be the fact
|
|
that the PFG would have no empires they could order to join them. The
|
|
PFG was hurting the cause of freedom more than helping, and Amoko had to
|
|
get rid of it soon.
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 8
|
|
|
|
"In response to yesterday's formation of the PFG, and to Amoko's
|
|
dissolution of the Empirial System at Sree, I have a statement to make,"
|
|
spoke the image of Cyber via the VidCom Public Channel. Valiance was
|
|
watching carefully. "All along, we have assumed Amoko to be our leader.
|
|
But the Galactic Coordinator never named Amoko 'Solar Master,' and
|
|
because of this lack of title, he does not HAVE to be our leader. In
|
|
view of his recent decisions, including the formation of a joint
|
|
government with the Underground, a persona we know to be tyrannical at
|
|
best, I move that we take up a vote to impeach Amoko, and see who should
|
|
take his place as the Leader of the TGI Party," he continued. Valiance
|
|
was amazed. Cyber had done his homework, and this would pay off for the
|
|
Underground.
|
|
|
|
How could he expect to defeat the Dark Alliance?! The PFG, Cyber, and
|
|
everything else were almost too much of a burden, and Amoko couldn't
|
|
handle it anymore. The Teeji Armada was completed, and TriPsiox shields
|
|
were in place everywhere. Military mobilization could begin soon, but
|
|
this 'election' was holding it up. Amoko would probably be voted out due
|
|
to his erroneous decision to create the FUP. Even now, the FUP continued
|
|
to be a hinderance. If Cyber, the PFG, or the Dark Alliance defeated the
|
|
Teejies, the Universe would have no chance of being free ever again. The
|
|
Universe had lost so many citizens in the slaughter, it was no longer
|
|
just 'serious'. It was deadly straightforwardly SERIOUS! In the history
|
|
of Time, there had never been so much destruction. Even in the old
|
|
Regime, the Universal Coordinator's Wars hadn't caused so much rampant
|
|
bloodshed and destruction. This had to end. And it had to end soon.
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 9
|
|
|
|
The polls were in, and Cyber had ousted Amoko democratically by a vote
|
|
ratio of ten to one. His first order of business would be to banish
|
|
Amoko, and take complete control of the Teeji Armada. The Armada was
|
|
still faithful to Amoko, even though he was no longer officially in
|
|
control. The Underground would be dealt with later, but Cyber had other
|
|
things on his mind....
|
|
|
|
The PFG saw no better oppurtunity than now. The Teejies were divided
|
|
into pro-Cyber and pro-Amoko groups. Using what minor power they had in
|
|
their fighting force, the PFG used it's Navy to attack the Teeji Armada.
|
|
War would break out soon, they knew, but perhaps by making the first
|
|
attack, they thought could get the upper hand.
|
|
|
|
Valiance mulled over what was happening. His Dark Alliance Fleet would
|
|
strike the PFG and the Teeji soon, but not quite yet. It would be
|
|
interesting to see what would happen to the PFG and to the TGI Party
|
|
with such political turmoil. Cyber had taken a road hardly traveled, and
|
|
enameled himself into a position Valiance knew Cyber couldn't fit. If
|
|
all went well, soon the Universe would belong to Valiance.....
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 10
|
|
|
|
Cyber panicked. He had no War experience. He assumed he should
|
|
counterattack the PFG, but his miltary commanders refused to advise. or
|
|
even HELP him. They were all joining Amoko. The Teeji Galaxies of the
|
|
Universe were revolting against him. Cyber's inablity to act in such a
|
|
crisis was what was causing the revolts, and Cyber knew it. Cyber knew
|
|
only one thing: Politics. He was finding that War was a much different
|
|
game. If he couldn't get his act together, everyone who was under his
|
|
control would be dead in the water.
|
|
|
|
"Lord Svoth, this is Amoko," said Amoko via the VidCom. "Amoko, this is
|
|
Svoth. The entire Teeji Armada is at your disposal," he replied. Amoko
|
|
grinned. "Attack the Tau Flank of the PFG, and they'll surrender," he
|
|
said. Svoth was amazed. How did Amoko know that? "Amoko, how do you know
|
|
that?" asked Svoth. Amoko smiled again. "Trust me. The Tau Flank is
|
|
their weakest side. Penetrate it, and they'll never return fire because
|
|
they are inexperienced and weak," he said. Svoth nodded and shut off the
|
|
VidCom. He then proceeded with Amoko's plan...
|
|
|
|
"General Kordsva, there is a heavy cruiser fleet headed to sector 509,
|
|
Mark 6," said T'Kos excitdely. This would be his first battle
|
|
experience. "Send to Fleet Commander Wapq, 'Enemy HC Fleet penetrating
|
|
Tau Flank; Require backup units,'" replied the General. T'Kos swiveled
|
|
to face his VidCom and sent the communique. That was when the Missle
|
|
hit. The stations sparked and smoked, and everything was fire. "T'Kos,
|
|
what the heck was that?!" demanded Kordsva. But he got no answer. He
|
|
looked at his underling and noticed T'Kos had been killed. Ovbiously the
|
|
enemy HCs were moving in on the base faster than his fleets could
|
|
handle. Another missle hit the base, and everything exploded in a
|
|
brilliant burst of plasma...
|
|
|
|
The PFG leadership was frightened. The Teejies had retaliated, and hit
|
|
their weakest spot. They had no choice but to surrender to the Teeji. It
|
|
must've been destiny. The PFG had political and economical strength, but
|
|
the seemingly perfect combination of LoFE and NEA hadn't lasted long.
|
|
They didn't have the experience they needed in Battle situations.
|
|
Perhaps the Teeji might have the right ideals, after all. Well, whether
|
|
the Teeji did or not, the PFG had no choice but to support them now...
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 11
|
|
|
|
With the quick surrender of the PFG, the citizens impeached Cyber and
|
|
reelected Amoko. Cyber hadn't lived up to his promises, and had utterly
|
|
failed as a military leader. There would always be a remnant that would
|
|
follow Cyber, Amoko knew that quite well. But for now he had to deal
|
|
with the Dark Alliance. The Darkies had a new weapon, was the rumor.
|
|
Teeji military strength was high, and morale was high too. It was only a
|
|
matter of time before the Battle began again.
|
|
|
|
"Sir, the NioBomb is armed and prepared for launch," said the young
|
|
private. "Damn well better be, boy. Fire on my next signal," replied the
|
|
Sargeant Brutzi. This bomb would devestate the Teeji. It's target was
|
|
the hideout Cyber and his followers were using after their failure.
|
|
"Fire it!!" yelled Brutzi. The Nioxyl Missle detached itself from the
|
|
Heavy Cruiser and sailed into the Galaxy called 'Trios.'
|
|
|
|
"Lord Cyber, a projectile has entered the system," reported Voss. Cyber
|
|
turned to face his second-in-command. "Scan it," came the curt reply.
|
|
Voss peered into his Sciences Scanner. "It appears to be the same shape
|
|
and mass of a PsiBomb, but an elemental scan reveals no Psiox or
|
|
Psiodide. There is a high amount of the compunds Nickel Acid, but that's
|
|
the best I can determine at the moment," spoke Voss. Cyber thought it
|
|
over. "Send out a recon fleet, Voss, so we can get a better scan," he
|
|
ordered. But Voss was staring at the scanner again. "Voss, what are you
|
|
looking at?" he asked. "Sir, the projectile has detonated itself. It is
|
|
most definately a weapon. The energy is moving towards us at an
|
|
incredible speed. Estimate five seconds until impact," replied Voss.
|
|
FIVE seconds? "Shields up NOW, Vo..." began Cyber. That was when the
|
|
room collapsed and it filled with noxious odors and gasses. "What the
|
|
hell is this?!" coughed Cyber. Cyber could feel his skin dissolving in
|
|
the presence of acids and chemicals. Then the ship blew apart as the
|
|
entire Trios Galaxy was destroyed..
|
|
|
|
"Amoko, the Trios Galaxy has been destroyed!" said the face of a
|
|
military advisor over the VidCom. Amoko knew Trios had been Cyber's new
|
|
headquarters, but he knew of no weapon that could eliminate an entire
|
|
Gakaxy. "Trios was destroyed, but by what?" came the reply. "Our
|
|
scientists believe it may have been the rumored new weapon being built
|
|
by the Underground. Traces of AntiOx and lots of Nickel Acid deposits
|
|
were found," said the advisor. "AntiOx. If they have found a way to
|
|
utilize AntiOx and NiAcid TOGETHER in a weapon, then we have nothing
|
|
that can stop them!" said Amoko. The advisor nodded, and the VidCom shut
|
|
off. Amoko couldn't stop the Underground if their new weapon could wipe
|
|
out single Galaxies at a time....
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 12
|
|
|
|
Inside his command ship, Valiance waited. His Fleet had been deployed,
|
|
and in a matter of minutes battle reports should be coming back. His
|
|
Command Ship had no heavy cruisers for protection, becuase every single
|
|
ship the Underground had was in the Fleet. But he wasn't worried. His
|
|
location was secret, and besides, his Fleet would wipe out the Teeji
|
|
Armada soon enough...
|
|
|
|
"This is Plasma Storm Div leader," said Tork. "We read you Plaz Leader.
|
|
Send your Div into the Westerly Wing of the enemy fighter formation,"
|
|
came the staticky reply. "Gotcha HQ. We're on intercept right now," he
|
|
said. Tork shut off the Com to HQ and opened a channel to his wing
|
|
division. "Set course to Sector 3, Mark 194. Arm weapons and prepare to
|
|
go man-on-man," he ordered. The fighters went to sublight speed and then
|
|
accelerated to subspace jump speed. The carriers behind them activated
|
|
their subspace jump field, and the fighters flew through it. Then the
|
|
carriers flew through it themselves....
|
|
|
|
"Amoko, I know the location of the Command Ship," said the face of
|
|
someone familiar. Amoko stared at him, trying to remember who it was.
|
|
"Do I know you?" asked Amoko. "I'm KHOTETH! Listen, there's no time for
|
|
chat. The Fleet's been deployed to obliterate you, and the Command Ship
|
|
contains all the leaders. The commanders, Valiance, the civilian
|
|
leaders, -everyone- of value to the Underground. It's at Galaxy Pac,
|
|
Sector 5," said Khoteth. Amoko waved as the VidCom shut off. "Get my
|
|
military commanders on the VidCom, NOW," he yelled.
|
|
|
|
Nno'j, the lead pilot of the Plasma Storm Division, was trying to
|
|
coordinate their attack through the AudCom. All the while, a Darkie
|
|
fighter followed him at a hair's distance, and was preparing to fire.
|
|
Nno'j did a wicked dip, followed by a Hercules loop (A loop in which the
|
|
fighter drops 50 meters, and takes a 100 degree left turn, followed by a
|
|
10 meter drop, and then a 260 degree angle, 60 meter climb) and ended up
|
|
behind his tormentor. He took one shot with his neutron-cannon, and the
|
|
enemy exploded vehemently. Nno'j returned his attention to the AudCom,
|
|
when he noticed three, THREE, of his wing men destroyed by various enemy
|
|
potshots. A quick role call over the Com revealed half the Div was
|
|
destroyed, and that they had only destroyed a quarter of the enemy
|
|
fighters. The Plaz Div was being vanquished..
|
|
|
|
---\ Chapter 13
|
|
|
|
Tork's Plasma Storm Division had been slaughtered. The enemy fighters
|
|
were well prepared, very heavily armed, and skilled. Tork and only a
|
|
handful of pilots were still remained, performing hide-and-drop tactics

for now. It was only a matter of time before the Plaz-2 Div would come
|
|
in to reinforce his Plaz Storm Div. If the other skirmishes were going
|
|
like this one, Tork knew the War would end up a victory for the Darkies.
|
|
|
|
At HQ, after receiving the coordinates of the Command Ship, the Fleet
|
|
Admiral diverted Plaz-2 Division to intercept the Command Ship and
|
|
destroy it. He had ordered them to execute a Kamikaze maneuver, which
|
|
had a good chance for success. If the Plaz-2 Div came through, the
|
|
Battle might be finished as a victory for the Universe. He prayed they
|
|
WOULD be able to come through....
|
|
|
|
It was a suicide mission. Korg had been sent out to kamikaze his fighter
|
|
into the enemy Command Ship. The Armada was confronting the Darkie
|
|
Fleet, but the Command Ship was his priority. He could see it's large
|
|
shape looming off in the distance. The dark grey ship was designed to
|
|
hide from enemy radar. Too bad Korg had already spotted it. As he
|
|
accelerated to sublight speed, he felt his andrenaline flowing. He
|
|
pushed his fighter up one more notch below hyperlight speed. His fighter
|
|
was hurtled into the behemoth ship, and massive explosions ensued. He
|
|
was fascinated by the mass destruction, but then the cockpit of the
|
|
fighter burst forth in flame.
|
|
|
|
The fighter had careened into the only unshielded portion of the command
|
|
ship. The subspace jump engines were directly under the impact site.
|
|
They quickly ignited the ship's antimatter inducer, and the inducer went
|
|
up in a blaring fireball. The resultant energies took the gigantic
|
|
Command Ship up in flame. The hot, searing fire could be seen for
|
|
lightyears. The explosion was so large it lapped at a few southern
|
|
divisions of the Dark Alliance Fleet.

---\ Chapter 14
|
|
|
|
The Underground was smashed. With absolutely no leaders, the Dark
|
|
Alliance Fleet surrendered to the TGI Party. Amoko was given thunderous
|
|
applause at the signing of the Dark Alliance's surrender. The Dark
|
|
Alliance Fleet was dismantled and assimilated into the Armada. The
|
|
weaponry designs of the Underground were destroyed, and the
|
|
manufacturing centers blown up. They would make sure those weapons of
|
|
mass killing would never be created again. The worlds that had not been
|
|
destroyed by Valiance, but taken captive by the Underground, were freed
|
|
at last. Amoko set up new Justice systems and began new Galaxial
|
|
territory marking. The Empirial System was reestablished, and the
|
|
citizens were given choices on where to move. Amoko kept the entire
|
|
Teeji Armada under his control. If evil ever rose up again, he would
|
|
smash it back to where it came from. He wouldn't make the mistakes
|
|
countless people had made before him. The Teeji leadership was
|
|
dismantled, and power was restored to the people, as it had in the
|
|
beginning. No tyrants. Just emperors and empresses, and their empires.
|
|
|
|
---\ Epilogue
|
|
|
|
Maybe men weren't so foolish. Amoko had pulled the Universe through it's
|
|
most bloody cleansing. The Underground had been throughly defeated and
|
|
wiped out. And now they were taking measures to insure evil never rose
|
|
to such a powerful position again. The bloodshed was over, thankfully,
|
|
and the rebuilding was beginning again. Men had a long way to go, but
|
|
they had started off right....

-=< In conclusion, I'd like to say thanks. In looking back, one can
|
|
see how my writing has improved. The vision was always the same, but it
|
|
was never better than in SRE6. The story is one of human drama.
|
|
Politically, the US is in turmoil. Only when the socialists are
|
|
overcome, and our country returns to it's Judeo-Christian roots (Back to
|
|
our God), can we become great again. Don't worry. Just because the
|
|
Underground is completely destroyed means the Universe is a safe place.
|
|
SRE: The Fehq Galaxy is coming soon, chronicling the adventures of a far
|
|
off Galaxy that participates in cruel games; A galaxy we never knew
|
|
existed until now. And also coming up is SRE: Galaxy Sei, telling of
|
|
Ultra's biggest adventure before migrating to the Sree Galaxy. And last
|
|
but not least, SRE: 7 will come out later this year, contrary to rumor.
|
|
SRE: 7 is called 'Petros' at present, but I can't reveal it's plot. If
|
|
you thought SRE: 5 and SRE: 6 were explosive, wait until SRE: 7. It's
|
|
action packed, truth-filled, and just plain awesome. Look for SRE: 7
|
|
around October. Special thanks to: Knight of Knight's Armor, the -real-
|
|
MaceMan, IncrediBite, Lil Red, Jed, subZERO, HMS Bounty, Bucking Bronco,
|
|
Michael Robinson, and Amit Patel, for writing SRE (Based upon Space
|
|
Empire Elite, by Dick Pederson). And to all you bold adventurers who
|
|
contiue to read these stories: THANK YOU!
