Trinity ..Chapter 1 Young Skullpeckers Plans

Young Skullpecker Not my fault uncle fred, she knew i hated maths Far away, in the hidden Andromedan hideout, Commander Fred Taylor, (the brother of Red Fred Taylor) most trusted servant and friend of the Skulleckers, tried his best to give evil Lady Skullpeckers boy the best education possible. Though he knew that teenagers tended to be rather difficult, he hadnt expected to run out of teachers that fast.

The Major After having won the war against Skullpecker Major Django adapted well to the quiet life on "Eden", the name the colonists gave that now tranquill planet they lived on. Having lost all his comrades in the last war,the major was having a hard time at first.. especially missing his brothers in arms , the "Battledog" squadron, that also was known as "Djangos Lot" among the colonists. His wounds healed though, slowly, "Eden" was a fine Place, the nightlife was amazing for such a young colony and the farmersgirls where more than willing , sharing the night with a living legend. His daytime Job was, however, more fullfilling,training the new men under his command. He was looking out for new talents for, deep within the heart, he didnt trust the peace that had spread through the universe and he had the feeling, he would need some good man to keep it that way soon. Nightmares where troubling him,dark and cruel visions, of innocents beeing sloughterd by the Forces of the dark. In his mind he could hear their desperate echoing crys through space and time, among them, it seemed, his own voice, his soul even ,reaching out into the dark void, bitter and hurt ,yet grabbing any chance it could get to fence off the evil. Those nights left him wakening with a silent shout, bathed in sweat,with his usual hangover. Then he would get up and after 1 or 2 liters strong coffee, he would leave for the spaceport to test his new machine. The finest fighter he ever had the privilege of flying, the Barracuda MK VI based on the most advanced technology known. It was still an unarmed Prototype, but he knew, he would have to get some of his men get used to it soon..there was something cooking. He had an eye on two of them, Second Leuitnant "Tiger" Trock and Cpt."Mad Doc" Rogers, he hadnt decided on the fourth yet, to build up his new squadron , the new "Battledogs" ...He felt the time was near for the final confrontation.

The Oracle The Skullpecker`s child had a great advantage compared to his parents, having inherited both, the technical skills of his father as well as the magig forces of his mother. Being the son of the two most evil creatures the universe had seen, he himself was so vile, he could kill people, just looking at them. One day though, during his studies, he felt a tremor in the space timelines that almost made him faint. Something had definately gone wrong. He decided to consult the "Oracle" a half organic computer, that his scientists had devoloped upon the results of his studies of space, time and the magic forces that hold it all together. He hooked himself to the interface and activated the machine. Drawn within this incredible device he scanned the space-timelines and realised in horror what had happend. His mother had failed and even though King Dj was killed during the process, his unborn child had survived. As Lady Skullpeckers magical source was destroyed, the very columns that held the universe in place , crumbled, for a moment only.. but space and time was ruptured and like a dimensional Tornado it displaced everything within its reach. The young queen had, by bad luck, had been whirled somewhere into the early 21`st century, even worse, it seemed that there was another incarnation of the eternal hero existing in the same time. Young Skullpecker realised he would have to kill them both if he wanted to ensure the evil heritage of his parents and enslave the universe. He needed a plan .. and he needed ist fast.

Slavemaster Young Skullpecker watched with great pleasure as the first of his newly developed "Slavemaster" class Battlecruisers manouvered into jump position. It had almost taken him a year and immense resources to get that far. He would not, like his mother, trust on local resources and magic to go after the eternal hero. He would have a whole Armada to his command. Nothing in the early 21`st century would be able to withstand his firepower. Proudly he looked at the jumpgate, his own invention, that could displace huge masses through space and time. He hit the manouvering thrusters of his "Skysniper" joining the rest of the squadron, closing in on the Mothership.The moment had come. Skullpecker was pleased.. very pleased indeed.

Berlin It had been weeks ago. No one knew where they had come from.They had hit fast and hard. Mankind had been cought with the trousers down. Within hours the major cities had been bombed to ashes, most of mankind perishing in a tremendous storm of fire , leaving the fiew survivors stumbling within the ruins of their world. There wasnt much the Sarge could remember, a nightmare of desperate screams and panic as the large ships turned up in the sky and let the mighty weapons speak. In a Caleidoscope of blood and fire he managed , somehow , to leave the town. Hiding in the ruins of an old castle out in the country, he watched his world crumble to dust. There where only a handfull survivers , among them a young foreign girl, speaking a language, he didnt recognise. Strangly he felt a very strong attraction towards her , and from the moment on she saw him .. she would not leave his side. When he looked in her sad, blue eyes he felt her pain , but also a strong ,almost magic trust and love, so intense that it felt as if they shared one soul. After a fiew weeks the survivers had to return to the city though, searching the ruins for supplies. Seeing what was left of the once so proud City made them loose all hope. Occasional patrolling Jetfighters made them aware that, whoever this fierce and merciless enemy was, had not left . They spent the days hiding in the sewers and the nights searching for food and more survivers. The Sarge doubted that there was any chance surviving in the long run, but as long as he was breathing , he would not give up.

Patrol Skullpecker realised he would not succeed finding the his enemy, if he relied merely on the patroling fighters. He could feel the heroes presence and vaguely locate somewhere centerd in mid europe but that was as close as he would get. He had hoped to avoid any ground combat but , it would be necessary to send Groundforces, searching the ruins of the cities house for house, finding possible survivors of his mercyless genocide. He sent out soldiers , covered by huge "All Terrain Tanks" to do the dirty job. The small cells of resistance that had formed all over the world hardly stood a chance against the well armed troops. The sarge , leading one of them tried staying alive , keeping on the move , avoiding conflict wherever possible. Whenever those huge machines where closing in, him and his group would flee.. hiding in another part of the city. He studied his enemy well, hoping to find a weak point but the more he saw of them the more he got discouraged. Mankind would need a miracle if it where to survive.

Trinity ..Chapter 2 The old home

The fab four Major Django`s Nightmares got worse, he felt there was something going on. Even though General Skullpecker had been killed by him he almost bodily felt the presence of evil around him. Something was definately wrong. He decided to take his best men an fly an extended recon mission the next day. He was sure he would find a clue to what was going on, searching the ruins of Skullpeckers last headquarters. It would also be a good chance testing his new fighter. The Barracuda MK VI "RETIRER"S.E. So himself and three of his best pilots, Cpt. "Mad Doc" Rogers, Lt. "Tiger" Trock and Commander Cosmo set out on a mission they regarded routine , but it should turn out to be their greatest challange.

Temporal displacement The Major had been right. One day on patrol with his comrades he detected the huge Dimensional Displacement gate, Skullpecker had used to travel through time. He had placed it orbit of a star , the huge amount of energy needed being drawn right from the plasma surface of the corona. He didnt know where it lead to , but he had the bad feeling Skullpecker was up to no good. The four men decided to risk the jump into the unkown and follow the evil villain , what ever he planned , he had to be stopped.

The old home I was a rough ride through that space / time rupture that had bee opend by the displacement gate. It got worse though. Major Django and his comrades materialised right in between the largest Armada, they had ever seen. Several dozens of "Slavemaster" Battlecruisers where orbiting a planet the Major imediately recognised. His old home, Earth. What had Skullpecker done ...and what was he up too ??? Luckily they had appeared by surprise, and before the cruiser could activate there perimeter defence, the four heros vanished into the athmosphere of the planet. Skullpecker , alarmed by what had happen launched "Skysniper fighters " to follow them. He must not allow the three immortal souls to meet, should they form the "Trinity" , it would sure be his end.

Shot down The 4 Barracudas devided as to split up enemy forces. Unfortunately one of Skullpeckers best pilots picked out the Major and hit him hard. His right wing hit, which desintigrated in a blinding flash of light, Major Django did his best getting his fighter down controlled..more or less efficiant.. at least he managed staying alive as his vehicle came to rest on a dead tree among the ruins.

Trinity ..Chapter 3 Hope

Hope Due to the Majors fine manouvers the rest of the crew made a fine escape. Heading north , into the less destructed parts of earth they made an astonishing discovery. Somewhere , in some not by skullpecker searched bay they found one of these old vessels. Remembering the history books they even knew the name," sub-marine". Not all of mens forced where perished. Those ships where migthy, considering their limited range. They would be forced to contact it , more if possible, find the Major and then break skullpeckers neck. Not easy, but to be managed.

Drydock While the Major was still beeing missed, his men managed to contact one of the subs. After first mistrust , they could convince the captain of their good intentions. They where given the coordinates to a secret base build far into the rock of cliffs the opening so close to the waters surface the could hardly fly in. The Base was huge and there where several of them distributed over the world. However, most of Skullpeckers Fleet was save in orbit, unreachable for the human forces. Suddenly Commander Cosmo had a fine idea, if they would take apart 2 of the Barracudas, they should be able to fit one of the smaller Subs with furure technology. The plasma ionic drives would not be powerfull enough to get it into orbit but with some extra boosters it should work. While Ltd. Tiger Trock searched for the Major in the remaining Barracuda Cosmo and Rodgers supervised the assembly of the USS Pheonix. Mighty solid fuel Rocketdrives further enhanced by the drives of some balistic missels where attached. Should this work they would get at last one dangerous weapon up there. Should the Major return, he would be very pleased.

The chosen Having survived the crash of his Barracuda, Major Django stumbled throug the destroyed city for days. He was badly bruised and hungry , but some strange force within him was drawing him deeper into the ruins. In the city center he saw the remains of an old church and he felt a strong urge to enter. It was dark, the only light, a bright , almost pysical shaft of light entering from the crumbled left hand corner of the building. Just as his eyes had adjusted , a person stepped out of the shadows into the light. Major Django felt like every bone in his body was hit with a sledgehammer, as their eyes met. He realised he was somehow looking at himself, by some strange twist of destiny, they shared the same soul. He felt his strenght come back, a warm glow of confidence fullfilling him. For the Sarge , it had been the same. Seeing the battleworn Major entering the church, he knew that was what he had been waiting for..more than his brother , more than twins even, that person was his other self somehow. As their hands touched to welcome , their mind shared all memories. More even , they realised the true nature of their existance, two incarnations of that one hero , that was forever doomed , to battle the evil. Together they would be stronger than ever before but they realised, they would need every bit of that strength, for that final battle against the forces of the dark.

We came to fight As the three met, they felt an overwhelming power within themselfs. This was it....the T R I N I T Y. Together they would give young Skullpecker a hard time.

Trinity ..Chapter 4 The resistance

Strike and hide It was obviuos to the men , they would need some more advanced weapons if they where to succeed. The only source of advanced technology , were Skullpeckers troops. So the Major decided to ambush some of Peckers patroling "All Terrain Tanks", that would at least give weaponry to a fiew dozens of men. The Majors strike and hide tactics prooved quite succesfull. Furthermore he had managed to contact his comrades , who where eager to show him their achievments. Soon it would be time to meet and workout a plan.

The Emu MK I The Major had allready destroyd several of skullpeckers All Terrain Tanks. He managed to salvage some of their weaponry as well as the steering electronics, responsible for the complicated leg movements. Unfortunate most of the nuclear drives where badly damaged, so he needed to develop a smaller vehicle , propelled by a V 8 , 600 hp engine which could be salvaged from truck wrecks. He used the emergency energy cells of the tanks to power the 4 strong blasters. That way he constructed a fiew very agile all terrain attack vehicles . Tho their chances had been slim , starting out , they seemed to improve every further day.

The hunt Slowly , the resistance was giving skullpeckers troops a hard time. In small groups they roamed the wasted cities on their EMU `s striking heavily whenever they got hold of one of Skullpeckers patrols. Skullpeckers strikeforce was superior , but his supplie of men limited. He would have to get the major soon or his universe domination plans would fail.

First strike Skullpecker, still safely on board his "Slavemaster" Battlecruiser up in orbit, was doomed to watch his groundtroops loose superiority. Within a fiew weeks the major had managed to organize the wide spread, small, resistance groups, into a quite effective strikeforce. While the majors commrades where still working on the "USS. Phoenix" , earths first spacefaring battleship, the major and a fiew dozend of his best men , attacked skullpeckers Headquarters. If the major succeeded, he would be able to unite the rest of mankind, strike back, forever erasing the skullpecker clan and free the universe. Skullpecker slowly realised that the major would be more than just a headache.

Lets call it a day The attack on Skullpeckers groundbase had been a great success. Not only had the Major managed to gain ground superiority, he had also managed to take over some of Skullpeckers "Skysniper" fighters. Skullpecker thought himself save up in orbit, but Major Django would see to it, that it would not stay that way. Skullpeckers final hour was drawing close. Weary and battleworn, but very pleased, the Major and his men returned home, to their beloved ones , waiting in the heart of the wasted city. The seed of hope , love and humanity ,was growing stronger and stronger, fertilized with the blood of brave, loyal men, it would hopefully once again flourish, its roots tight in the soil of earth, its branches far out in the endless depth of the universe. The Major decided to call it a day.

Trinity ..Chapter 5 The grand showdown

The day before Tomorrow would be the day , looking at the dry, wasted land, the Major knew what he had fought for. This land, would be green again , not far from now. The ruins making place for proud cities, build by people , with hope in their hearts. The Major would finish with skullpecker, forever, he would bannish that evil breed from the Face of earth, more even , he would free the universe of this vile creature , even if it should cost his life.

USS Pheonix The Day had come. Early in the morning, still night actually the major inspected his troops. Good brave men , prooved in battle. Way in the back he saw the huge launchstructure build for the U.S.S Pheonix, that modified sub, mankinds first spacefaring warship, hopefully , for there hadnt been time to test the gear. Major Django only saw one chance..He must take over Skullpeckers Flagship, eliminate him and he would have no probs with the rest of Skullpeckers Troops, their only motivation beeing not to be themselfs killed by that vile demon. His chance would be surprise. Skullpecker would never expect this. Himself and his 3 comrades , Lt. Tiger Trock, Commander Cosmo and Cpt.Mad Doc. Rogers would guard the lift off of the pheonix ,bringing her into orbit within reach of skullpeckers Battlecruiser, using the remaining Barracuda and three captured Skysniper Spacefighters. The Balistic missiles the sub carried had been modified, each now carrying a cabin holding two troopers. In orbit those would fire the troopers into the Battlecruisers Launchtubes, which where only protected by a semipermeable Forcefield , to keep the air within. It was up to those 16 men, in charge of them the girl and the sarge, to hold those airlocks until the sub docked on. Finally if those where secured the Major the Sarge and the girl would search for Skullpecker, the three of them uniting the power of the good forces would stand a fair chance killing him, that is if the rest of that very improvised and most unlikly plan worked..

Commander Cosmos bad day The U.S.S pheonix threw off her supporting Boosters as they reached orbit. It had been a fine lift off.The Major and his men, not beeing used to Spaceships loosing anything at all, hadquite some strain evading the debris. As the Major lost Cosmos transponder signal from his screen, he looked back and didnt like at all, what he saw. Commander Cosmo , flying the remaining Barracuda hadnt made it. He had crashed right into one of those boosters. A rather bad start for an almost hopeless mission but they would have to see this through.

What a desaster Horrified the Major watched how things developed.What a desaster. The U.S.S. Phoenix was dwarfed just by the size of Skullpeckers Flagship. Worse even , as they drew closer , it spitted out a deadly load of "Enforcer" deepspacefighters, firing with all blasters. Before the Phoenix released all its capsules like planned, it went up in a blinding flash of light. Almost a hundred men wasted in a second. All that was left to the Major where his two comrades and a handfull of men, with luck , the sarge and the girl. It was too late to get away , there wasnt an escape plan anyway. The Major had the faint feeling his last hour had come , if not his last seconds even.

On the way The Major , Lt.Trock , and Cpt.Rogers managed to escort one of the capsules into a Launchtube. The other 3 capsules where picked off by Skullpeckers fighters. Fortunate the remaining capsule , was the largest , carrying 4 troopers the girl and the sarge. With him, Rogers and Trock , that would make 9 lost souls, facing the crew of a huge Starship, commanded by the "Grandmaster of all Evil" , Skullpecker himself. The Major, not easy to frighten, got the chills thinking about what he had gotten into again. More than once he had faced death, but this must be the closest ever.

Bad luck for Trock Some of the Enforcer Deepspace Fighters follwed Major Dj and his crew into the launchtube. Dj and his men did best they could manouvering them out, to loose speed, ensuring a save landing for the capsule, that should have reached the hangar by now. Suddenly Lt.Trocks right wing got hit, his skysniper went down and skidded , catching fire, along the floor of the tube. Immidiatly Trock used his emergency eject. Django and Mad Doc Rogers had quite some trouble evading the debris. Major Django looked back and saw what had happend to poor Trock.. He swore to himself, should he survive this, he would write a note into the Pilots manuals, about the use of emergency eject systems within closed containments.

Landed The capsule was the first craft , to reach the main hangar. The Sarge, the girl and the four remaining Troopers jumped out, securing the place. The fiew technicians around where easely handeld. Two or three deadly bursts out of the Sarge`s gun did the job. Obviously , Skullpecker hadnt thougt they would make it this far . With a grim smile the Sarge reloaded his gun...

Holy shit Unexpected by the sarge the burning wreckage of the hit skysniper slithered into the hangar, first hitting a heap of, luckily empty, oilbarrels and then the capsule, in wich the sarge had landed. Holy shit, he thought, and jumped for cover behind some barrels with two of his men. As he lifted his head again the whole thing blew up. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw the girl running away but 2 more of his men where cought by the blast. He hoped it wasnt the major though he doubted any one could manage to land safely in this burning hell.

Looking cool The Major and Mad Doc Rogers managed a save landing. They didnt like what they saw. At least the Sarge the girl and two more men had survived the chaos. Six poor souls would have to face the ultimate evil. The Major stopped calculating the chances for survival, stay cool, he thought, its a good day to die...and drew his gun

Warcry Skullpecker Jr. was most upset. Up till now his men had failed. Young Pecker couldnt believe that anyone had managed to get inside his ship. He cried out in rage , grabbed his magig wand , and for all cases, his bladed proton blaster. Followed by his droid guards he went down one of the long corridors of his ship. By instinct he would find his enemy , and whipe them away from the face of the universe. It was time to handle this his way.

The reactor The Major and his small group moved fast, still he lost two more men on the way. He new skullpeckers ship would be most vulnerable in the heart. The main reactor. Out of the nuclear powerplant of his Barracuda he had build this little bomb for this case. Nothing much, just a fiew kilotons but within the reactor room, it should do the job. Mad Doc Rogers covered them, Major Dj had allready entered the reactor room, clearing the way,while the Sarge and the girl carried that deadly device to its destination.

The core he pure size of the animatter-reactor dwarfed them. The major had never seen anything like it. Held by strong magnetic rings , the plasma was focused and forced into the dispensors , which sent it through the whole ship. The major dindnt want to be anything like close, if this thing blew up.... he knew tho they had little chances for escape.

Gran Finale 1 Skullpecker charged the room with his battledroids. He immidiatly attcked the Major and his comrades.

Gran Finale 2 While the Major headed for the reactor, Mad Doc Rogers , and the Sarge , tried to slow down Skullpecker. Doc Rogers perished imidiately in on of the energyballs Skullpecker released by his evil magic. The Sarge, being one of the bearers of the etarnal heros soul, lasted longer. With a yell he emptied the magazin of his rifle upon Skullpecker and his droids, while the girl was still searching desperate for an escape for her and her unborn child.

Kaboom As the Major saw there would be no chance, killing young Skullpecker and getting out alive he took a last glance back. He saw the sarge perishing in the blasterfire of peckers droids, while skullpecker sped towards him having realised the Majors plan. With a yell the major grabbed the bomb and hurled himself into the reactionchamber of the huge reactor. As the bomb touched the plasma it exploded with all devastating power of a nuclear device. The containmentfields of the reactor evaporated and matter collided with antimatter uncontrolled. Skullpeckers ship dissolved in a blinding ball of energy. Once again , the evil forces of the universe had been stopped, sadly at the cost of the majors life and that of his friends. Fortunatly, the girl had managed to get away in an escapepod. She hoped to reach a place the Major had told her about.Dystopia. The Major had many friends there , even the Emporer owed him, for once saving the city. She would be able to raise her child there in peace and well protected. In honor of the Sarge she would call him Charly, and undoubtly he would get the Majors Name as well. She would train him well, for she knew it was the familycurse to fight all evil. It would get a long voyage so she went into the cryo chamber for suspended sleep. Slowly fading away she thought about, what life would bring for Charly Django.

The end of Trinity
