"How dare you..." At the top of his lungs, the Colonel yelled. This species must have had 4 lungs because the yell was so loud that Robin had to put his fingers in his ears for not harming,
"Jesus, his voice is loud." Cathrin said after Sigret switched off the speaker in order to save their ears from being raped. The entire conversation was being streamed live across the globe in the meantime. People were able to 'see' Robin talk, even though his and his fellow friends' faces and voices were obviously obscured and altered.
The world leaders breathed a sigh of relief when they heard someone taking up the mantle. At first, many people were outraged at how could someone say that they represented mankind, and of course they took to twitter and other social media to tweet about it.
The world leaders had previously been told of the "parked" spaceships by the space agencies, and they shook at the mere sight of their size and cannons. They were aware that this was bad news and that North Korea had not merely come up with this. Although North Korea was somewhat absurd, they did learn one lesson after witnessing the metropolis above Jupiter: they wouldn't show off pointless stuff to the general people.
So it was probably a hostile situation. It became immediately clear when videos from the recently established and unoccupied space stations began to flood the public screen.
"How dare some kind of a fraud represent humanity?"
"Stop worrying, Oliver. This is just some kind of fiction being showed to us from the government."
"Martha, North Korea has some spaceships from what I have heard, do you think it's them? If it's accurate."
"Don't be silly. The other governments will not allow one country to be so powerful."
Even though it had been a while since the interview and many people had begun to think that North Korea had developed into some sort of advanced nation, many people remained unconvinced. The majority of people were extremely illiterate, prone to believing what they saw, and quick to dismiss any new knowledge as either propaganda or a fabrication.
However, those who were aware of the change in North Korea and those who had visited the country firsthand knew that this was a significant development and that the interaction depicted in the video was likely real. Since neither space agencies nor astronomers had reported any reports of spacecraft approaching Earth, it is likely that the interaction is taking place right now or was just recently.
What followed next was something that humanity would forever remember and would be written in golden words in history. The television screen returned to showing the two groups of spaceships after the live interaction. The Terran Battlecruisers were one, while the fleet of alien spacecraft was the other.
When the Battlecruisers were seen in person, the StarCraft community went crazy. The game was more popular in Asia, specially the Eastern Asia like South Korea, China and other such countries, and seeing them live made the fandom go int frenzy.
They all began babbling incoherently about the Terras, Zerg, and Protoss.
The Terrans, in the meantime, attacked the alien spacecraft in a quick and well-planned manner, unleashing a hail of plasma fire. The Terrans had a big edge thanks to the element of surprise and their greater arsenal. Heavy railguns on the battlecruisers tore through opposing shields, destroying two ships right away.
Even though the alien spaceships had enough time to aim their weapons at the Battlecruisers, their combined firepower ultimately wasn't powerful enough. And it wasn't just the Battlecruisers that were engaged in combat. The extraterrestrial spacecraft opened their hangars and launched miniature fighter planes to pursue the Battlecruisers.

The Zorians were aware of the huge and potent rail weapons of the Battlecruisers since they had already lost two spaceships to coordinated attacks from four Battlecruisers that had pierced their thick shield. The railguns were the least they could do if they want to win this war, even though these small fighters might not be useful against massive Battlecruisers.
The Colonel was fuming in his seat and was actively involved in commanding his crew and let them follow his orders. He has participated in several space battle simulations, and his expertise was evident when he ordered the spaceships to form a defensive line while directing the little fighter in front.
Additionally equipped for this, the Battlecruisers sent out Liberators, Viking, and Raven fighters to engage enemy fighter jets.
The Liberators were adaptable air-to-ground forces that were excellent at controlling vast swaths of the battlefield and offering aerial assistance. They have two modes. Defender Mode and Fighter Mode. In Defender Mode, Liberators deploy anti-ground cannons, delivering deadly area-of-effect attacks, while in Fighter Mode, they can engage enemy air units with their potent anti-air missiles.
Vikings were powerful and versatile transformable units that can operate both in the air and on the ground. With air-to-air missiles that can fire a hail of bullets at adversary aircraft, Vikings transform into quick and lethal fighters when operating in the air. They have a ground mode like Liberators, which is just as effective, but they move more quickly because they have more muscle.
Ravens were specialized support units that provide a wide range of tactical and strategic advantages on the battlefield. Ravens were equipped with sophisticated systems and powers, allowing them to deploy Auto-Turrets, automatic defensive fortifications that helped with combat. Ravens could shoot potent missiles that tracked and seriously damaged opposing units thanks to their Seeker Missile ability.
The dogfight thus began. Due of the little fighters' ability to stream video, viewers from all around the world were able to see a live dogfight. As the battle continued, more individuals came to the conclusion that the video might not be fictitious after all and was possibly true. It was because numerous news networks had begun reporting that the combat depicted in the video was truly occurring right now in space, not far from Earth, according to statements made by space agencies from all across the world.
The world's populace became alarmed as a result. They were already agitated when the subject of aliens first came up and their existence in North Korea. But at least they were helpful to Earth and peaceful. However, nothing of the sort existed here. This was cutthroat battle and there was almost no chance of survival if a ship was hit.
In terms of brutality, it exceeded the World Wars. But there was not only panic among the people of the world. There was a sense of rage boiling upon many men and women. They were already aware that the spacecraft in conflict did not originally belong to humanity and that a different culture was defending them.
Humanity should be ashamed of this. They couldn't even protect their own selves, their own children, their own family. The public's reaction to the dogfight livestream was almost identical to how it was during World War 2, when the government used news reports, videos, and posters to recruit soldiers by highlighting the terrible consequences of losing the war and its awful aspects.
Many men and women made the decision to join the space defense regiment if it ever become available and to aid humanity at that precise moment.
The alien fleet scurried to organize a defense against the Battlecruisers' attack while the dogfights went on. The Terrans' battle-hardened pilots skilfully avoided the bombardment, their experience honed through numerous interplanetary battles. Their sophisticated energy-based weapons replied.
The interstellar battle played out in a spectacular display of lasers and destructive booms. Videos from various points of view were shared on screens throughout the world as the battle continued. The people prayed once the space agencies acknowledged that the fight was actually taking place.
Prayed that they won. Prayed that the battle was a victorious one or else their beautiful earth wouldn't be beautiful anymore. The freedom which they enjoyed would soon crumble just like a beautiful dream turning into a nightmare. The privileged karens, those who constantly moaned about their lives, and others who adhered to various religions and believed that theirs was superior came together for the first time to pray for the same thing.
And that was 'may the humanity win.'
"I intend to join the fight." Robin suddenly made a comment.
"What?"
"Are you stupid?"
"Hell the fuck no."
His three closest friends all yelled at the same time. Forget about them, even his three advisors said no unisonly when Robin expressed he wanted to join the battle.
"C'mon.. Have you not seen Darth Vader join the battle during the dogfights? I have more power than him and it will be fun." said Robin.
"One laser shot at you and you will die. In contrast to movies, lasers don't appear here and only move at the speed of light. You, you believe you'll be able to see them?" Sauvik bellowed.
