Joel rushed towards his command centre and hailed Jake on the comms.

“What is this sorcery? I thought you said that they were weak and unorganized.” Joel clenched his fist and smashed at the desk.

“They were. I didn't know they had some super alliance or something.” Jake replied cooly.

“Well, it's costly. Do you know how many ships I have to send on auto to protect my base?” Joel watched as another fleet of cruisers lift off from his ship bay and head towards the protective barrier.

“Hey, I'm still out here fighting.” Jake ended the comms.

“God damn it! No one messes with Lord Cyber Joel!” Joel watched as the mass driver rounds slammed into his ships barrier.

“Alert! Ship bay under attack!” the alarm sounded in the command centre.

Joel watched as MYRM ships began hammering his ship bay with lasers. He knew if he ordered his ships to attack the ships attacking his bay, there would be no reinforcements for his command centre making it vulnerable to the destroyers.

“Alert! Ship bay under attack” the alarm sounded.

“Move ships to protect the bay. I need to get off his base.” Joel shouted at a nearby officer.

“Yes Lord Joel.” the officer nodded and began relaying commands.

Joel ran as fast as he could to a new Nighthawk still awaiting a paintjob and turned on its engines. He watched as a new wave of cruiser begin to take off and timed it so that he left the bay at the same time covering his ship from enemy fire.

“How dare they challenge my wealth!” Joel cried as the mass driver rounds finally got through the barrier and slammed into the bridge.

Explosions ripped through the towers and the centre began to tear in half.

“Screw you Jake. You are a dead man after this.” Joel watched as all his ships turn off upon the destruction of his command centre.

Joel quickly flew away from the battlefield and warped out of the area. It was a matter of time when the rest of the GG members realized that their almighty lord's base had been destroyed and had retreated into their bases and relocated their bases out.

“Well shit...” Jake watched as he was left in the battlefield with his base already destroyed by another MYRM fleet.

 Jake quickly warped out of the battlefield leaving peace behind for the member of Star Alliance. Now he was a hunted man in the galaxies with a large bounty on his head.
