Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Far far away from home

Both the generals came in the room waiting for Jonah to enter as well. Koyonu asked one of the guard to bring her tea.

Theseus said "I thought he would come by this time, whats taking him so long." He yawned.

One of the guards said "He should be arriving soon."

Jonah entered the room. "Shall we start?" he asked. Theseus and Koyonu waited him to get seated so that the plan could start.

Jonah brought up a screen that projected a lot of dots. "Look at the dots, all of those represent approximate number of our army. We can't just rush them and expect us to win as that will result us being defeated." said Jonah in a serious tone.

Theseus asked, "So we are going to split up the army?"

Jonah said "I've decided on that plan and i have split my army into 2000 rows and 2000 columns as you can see. I've also set up some for reinforcements and some to hijack their main energy reserves."

"How many are there for an hijack?" Koyonu asked doubting the strategy of Jonah.

"At least a hundred" said Jonah.

Koyonu couldn't help but laugh off. She thought to herself "A hundred? Is he stupid because we are not facing a small number of enemies." 

Jonah was curious and asked " Is there anything funny?"

Koyonu not able to held herself from laughing asked "How do you expect mere hundred to face their thousands or even hundred of thousands of soldiers? They will be annihilated. Not to mention they extract energy form their own star."

Theseus said "I have to agree, but perhaps you have a trick up your sleeves master Jonah."

Jonah with a smirk put up a tiny ball in front. Both the generals were confused on the object shown to them.

"This is a tiny nuke you can say." Jonah said as tossing the ball around like an ordinary toy.

Koyonu still not buying his words demanded a demonstration. Jonah took both of them to the base of the moon and he leaded them to an underground bomb testing area of the moon. Jonah threw the ball far far away and ordered both of them to retreat. 

A deafening silence and suddenly a huge ground shattering shock wave hit. as everything had lit up with a bright light and a mushroom cloud covered the entire area.

As everything settled down they went over to inspect to find a crater big enough to expose the underground bomb testing ground.

Both of the generals had felt their stomach being tight. That explosion was beautiful yet still worrying.

If that was not enough Jonah told them that this was a weaker version as the stronger version would destroy the moon. 

They all returned to earth. Jonah told them to come back tomorrow as they will leave for war tomorrow.

They agreed and went home.

The day passed by and as everyone was assembled before leaving Jonah started to explain the final plans.

Jonah shouted to his army "Our formation consists of millions of soldiers and millions of war ships. The thousands of soldiers and ships will follow me when the day of war arrives. The another formation is tasked with destroying their main source of energy so that they wont recover."

Jonah continued " Our first stop will be a star system close to civilization X's system. We will prepare for war there."

Jonah raised his arm in the air with a closed fists and shouted " THE STARS ARE OURS TO CONQUER, WE WILL NOT BACK AWAY."

It was time for them to leave. Millions of battle ships set away drifting into the vast space time. It is basically one way home. Many left letters to their families, many to their wives and many were going as they had nothing to loose. 

They all knew the ultimate goal was to win, even if it costs their lives. They were ready to give up on their lives if it means that their home planet was to be safe.

Jonah had a small sense of nervousness but also a bit of excitement. as they set out to a place far far away from their home.

Fear began to grow as the star system that was home to them was just a dot in the endless sky. But yet all of them were prepared.
