Hauer, Freeman and what was left of their team, could only watch as the ship landed. They were praying that the crazy Aussie did his job and they didn’t have to wait long.
A set of stairs melted forward as if by magic, smooth metallic beams settling down upon one another from the ship to the ground.
The ruling class of the Tenachai, tall, slender and noble, dressed in robes of their station, descended the stairs. They quickly recoiled in shock at their greeting.
Standing there, at the entrance to the power plant was none other than Jessie Banya. He was broken, cut, and full of gashes, holes and bullet wounds. The tenacious Aussie was covered in his own blood, blood that was still literally pouring out of him, but still, somehow clinging to life.
He looked at the shocked delegation of Tenachai elite and grinned.
“It’s about bloody time, ye slow arse space tards.” Banya hollered. “Let me be the first to say, Welcome to Earth…and FUCK YOU!”
As he yelled his last words, he extended two bloody hands into the air to deliver a double middle finger.
Hauer and Freeman looked at each other in disbelief and started to laugh their asses off and the men with them followed.
Then the entire power plant erupted behind him with white light.
The sky filled with a brilliant flash of light and a mushroom cloud burst into the air.
We were out of the blast radius and fallout area, but were hit with a shock wave that knocked human and alien alike to the ground.
Moments later the Tenachai forces began screaming with an inhuman wail and falling dead to the ground.
“They must have detonated the power plant,” I said, looking toward Lacy.
“Yes,” she said. “The entire ruling caste has been eliminated. The shock to the hive mind, the feedback of losing such a large piece of itself, must be too much for the individuals to bear. If I didn’t have this jammer, I’d likely be as dead as them.”
The Gamma wriggled in the dirt, still wailing, but using his immense strength to cling to life. I picked up an energy rifle, climbed on top of a nearby truck, and released a full blast into its head, spraying yellow flesh everywhere.
Everywhere we looked, host soldiers and Tenachai were dropping like flies screaming in agony. We hoped this was happening all over the planet
Kiebler joined me. Lacy, Austin and Hilton filled in behind us.
We looked out over the ruined hospital and battlefield. The only thing moving was the surviving human resistance, faces opening, eyes brightening as they slowly realized that we were actually victorious.
Kiebler gripped my hand firmly, intertwining her fingers with mine. Then she hoisted our hands high above our heads.
Nearly 200 voices erupted in cheers of happiness, freedom and victory.
Epilogue
Inside the depleted wreckage of a massive intergalactic ship, there is nothing but twisted steel. It is completely devoid of any functional form of life. The ship only holds the dead carcasses of aliens not of this Earth.
Inside that wreckage a small metal box sits, beeping with a flashing red light. The box emits an interstellar signal. It’s a frequency that Earth technology cannot pick up, but the signal is picked up, and noticed, with interest, by something out there.
