บท 704: Leggo
Afton turns his head and spots Bokassa standing behind and pointing an alien rifle at him. He pauses for a moment in confusion, then a large grin makes its way onto his face, "Baksok or whatever your name is, didn't think I'd see you again." he chuckles.
Bokassa scowls, preparing to fire another shot, "You brought this on yourself... I think you though, for clearing the path for the rest of us" he states, firing another shot, this time at Afton's head.
Afton easily dodges it of course, his [Danger Sense] and reflexes allowing him to shift his head and allow the laser to shoot past... Unfortunately, this ends up damaging the harness controlling the manual operating system.
It sparks and suddenly explodes, launching both Afton and Bokassa a few meters away. Bokassa rolls to a halt next to his 'loyal' group of psykers, new bruises slowly forming on his face and body. He's about to celebrate Afton's death, but stops when he spots a figure step out of the smoke.
Realising he'd need help to take him down, Bokassa points a finger at Afton and shouts, "Look! He abandoned the people that followed him, and is cooperating with the aliens! You see how he is able to operate their devices! He is a danger to us all!"
The group of hostile psykers scowl at Afton in response, charging up their respective abilities for the unavoidable conflict.
Afton shakes his head, disappointed that humanity could still fight itself, even when literally on the brink of death. "First off, I didn't abandon anyone... Second, I'll give you a single warning. You attack me and I'll tear your god damned heads off!" he shouts, not really caring about preserving their lives... After all, he didn't think any of them would survive anyway.
*Kukchuik!*
The mothership shifts, causing almost everyone to stumble as it rapidly begins to manoeuvre through space... Afton glances over at the main terminal and realises that someone else was operating it... And currently on the screen to select a location on the auto-pilot systems...
His eyes widen as the man pulls up a holographic globe of the earth and selects Africa, not realising the implication of his actions... The mothership was absolutely huge, approaching a quarter the size of the moon... If this thing slammed into the Earth, it'd tear the planet apart!
"No! You fucking idiot!" he shouts, having to dodge a few bolts of fire, electricity, and other elements that the enemy psykers begin throwing. They took his sudden shout as an offensive action, deciding to now take action...
Afton growls, realising that these fucking idiots may have just invalidated all the efforts he'd made to get to this position. His plant arms warp and extend into almost a hundred whip-like roots that were incredibly sharp.
He raises his arms up before abruptly bringing them down, the roots shooting towards the psykers who futilely attempt to dodge, only managing to get bisected and dismembered in other places than what Afton intended.
The hundreds of psykers attempt to fight back using the alien weaponry, but Afton just activates his [Diamond Skin], turning his roots into incredibly reflective material. dispersing the lasers into the surroundings, causing yet more damage to the group.
Bokassa had fled to the outskirts of the room as soon as Afton started to act, knowing the immortal man likely had more up his sleeve than he'd shown... He was right too, barely avoiding the blender-like roots that turned his men into a bloody pulp.
Most had already thrown down their weapons and got to their knees in an attempt to beg for their lives, but Afton was unmerciful as he tore them apart...
Bokassa tugged at his collar as he began profusely sweating, realising that they'd made an error in challenging this man...
*Thud!*
He abruptly falls to the floor as pain shoots through his legs... Looking down, he finds that everything below the knees had been cut off, Afton's roots had found their target...
Afton doesn't even glance at Bokassa as he cuts the man in two, instead electing to run towards the central terminal where that idiot had tried to doom the Earth.
He steps over the fools corpse and accesses the systems, quickly realising how fucked he was... It was impossible to divert the mothership from its course, and it'd soon enter the Earth's atmosphere...
Without many other choices, he begins preparing for the impact, lowering the engines as much as possible while also completely disabling the shields... If there was any hope to salvage this situation, he'd need to make sure a good portion of the mothership burns up before it hits the ground...
He looks through the other systems and frowns at the rather spare selection... There wasn't anything that'd allow him to simply blow up the ship, and he couldn't wait for the self destruct to activate either, as it was timed for around thirty minutes from now.
"How would this thing even self destruct in the first place?" he murmurs to himself, eyes widening as he gets an idea... He accesses the blueprints of the ship again and quickly locates the reactors, taking a moment to memorize them before moving.
He quickly stands and runs towards the elevator, stepping over the large pool of blood and organs that was all that remained of Bokassa and his group.
He sprints through the ship at full speed, barging back into the alien armoury and collecting every dangerous weapon and explosive he could carry before heading towards his final destination.
Again, Afton's forced to break through many blast doors that impede his path, but they aren't much of an obstacle at this point, especially with how determined he was.
Soon enough, he reaches the reactors that were slowly charging up, preparing to self destruct via overloading the warp drive.
He tosses all the explosives he'd gathered next to the warp drive and tears what was left of his trousers off, splitting the fabric into strips and creating a rather long rope. Once he's confident in its length, he lights it on fire after wrapping some explosives around the end of it.

บท 705: Watching the Fireworks
House and the other New Vegas residents that were hidden in the bunker continued to observe the sky for any changes... Now that the sun had set, they could see what was happening in space far easier than before, especially without the city's buildings producing so much light pollution.
Up above, they could see the incredibly large vessels floating above the planet. And most wondered if Afton could actually do anything against such powerful foes...
Afton's daughter; Rose, continued insisting that her 'daddy' would easily beat the aliens, but even Tamia, who had more experience than most with Afton's abilities was not as confident... After all, there was a large difference between dealing with bandits, mutated creatures, and robots... Compared to fighting what amounted to a war in space.
Even Glados, who'd been keeping in contact with the Bunker, had lost contact with Afton. Becoming completely unable to contact him, even via their brain wave connection.
Soon enough though, something seemed to have changed... In the night sky over New Vegas, House and the others could spot small trails of fire headed directly for the city... Most thought it was some type of weapon and started panicking, but House knew the projectiles were most likely either meteorites or something else not intended to deal damage... An orbital drop system perhaps? Maybe the aliens were finally deciding to directly take control of the surface?
Their descent doesn't last long, and the group were eventually able to identify what they were. House's suspicions were proven somewhat correct, when they spotted the Escape Pods headed directly for the city...
On the escape pods final stretch towards the surface, a bunch of wires were shot out from their backs, a holographic net activating a few seconds afterwards and causing their speed to fall dramatically, all while keeping the occupants inside relatively unharmed.
The over a thousand pods gently land in and around New Vegas, and the residents of the bunker all watch as HUMANS step out of them!
This causes House to jump into action, having his Securitrons go around and 'persuasively' round up the strangers so he could get a handle on the situation. He didn't know why they'd come from the alien spaceship, but there were only a few things that really mattered... Were they hostile, and did they have any information about the aliens that they could share?
While the Securitrons were trying to round up the stranger (Having many difficulties due to many of the Psykers not speaking English), Tamia's voice suddenly alerted everyone else to another thing happening in the sky...
The largest ship of the three floating above the Earth had started moving rather erratically, and they all watched as it suddenly opened fire with its gigantic laser onto one of its allies.
"Yeah! Go Daddy!" Rose suddenly shouts, causing the others around her to crook a brow and begin wondering if Afton really was responsible for it.
They continued to watch as the ship began fighting with the last remaining one, eventually crashing into it and splitting it cleanly in two. With that, a massive explosion occurs, though, it takes a couple minutes for the sound to reach them.
The explosion spreads through the sky, temporarily creating a mini-galaxy for a few minutes, before the violent energies finally dissipate.
Then, the mothership abruptly turns and starts flying in a radon direction, slowly getting closer to Earth. No one was sure what it was doing, but before it was able to get over the horizon, another explosion rang out, this time on mothership...
A chain reaction seems to occur due to it, many hundreds of thousands of similar-sized explosions drawing glowing lines across the mothership... And soon enough, the event reaches its climax, the blast of energy radiating out and somehow increasing the gravity of the ship... The metal exterior of the mothership folds inwards, seemingly sucked into some invisible black hole in the centre of it.
The radiated energy snaps back and converges on the point, releasing the largest explosion yet...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!*
The mothership hadn't yet entered the atmosphere, but the sound of the explosion caused everyone's ears to ring due to it, even those in the bunker had to cover their ears. Additionally, the Psykers on the surface were caught off guard by a sudden wave of heat that passes through the area.
Any uncovered skin is scolded and burnt, but it doesn't last long enough to cause any permanent harm...
As for the ship that just exploded? Despite most of it being ground down into fine powder after it imploded, many huge pieces of metal and machinery were now plummeting towards the Earth... Some of these were actually more dangerous than your typical meteor, due to the fact that the material that composed them was durable enough to not burn up in the atmosphere.
House immediately orders everyone to get into the bunker, forcing the Securitrons to drag all the willing psykers inside so he could hunker down and wait for the eventual disaster that was about to strike...
He knew the amount of material that was descending would cause catastrophic effects once it touched down, and needed to get people to safety before that happened... He needed to employ the bunkers more drastic protective measures in order to make certain of their survival.
Some of the Pskyers refused to be coerced by the Securitrons, but there wasn't much House could do about that, instead electing to leave them behind so they wouldn't be a danger for the others in the bunker.
House himself could speak a number of languages, though, he was quite rusty since there was no need to really speak them... He'd have to brush up on his studies via the library of old world knowledge he'd kept safeguarded.
