# 2 : Space Battle

The gigantic invading war crafted floated vigilantly in the gravity dimple. In other parallel universes there were planets at this corresponding location, in this particular universe there was no planet, only the gravity. The Battle Group used it as an anchor.

Scant time units ago it’s fleet of raiders had returned with great booty. The crew were reveling in self congratulation when the alarms sounded.

A huge armada was descending upon them in retaliation for their depredations.

The two forces engaged. Horrendous engines of destruction were brought to bear. Inconceivable energies like unto that of supernovae were unleashed. The conflict continued until the retaliating force brought into play a doomsday weapon, dirigible planetesimals, and a very great many of them, comprised of strange matter. This would be the end of the invaders.

No phraseology is sufficient to describe the magnitude nor sheer destruction of the holocaust that ensued. Such was the titanic forces unleashed that a world from another universe was sucked thru the wormhole entire, like a pumpkin thru a garden hose. For a brief instant the remnants of the invading fleet co existed in the same time and place as that of the kidnapped planet, then the planet tried to explode. Other forces would not have it. The planet was not allowed to explode nor fragment, it merely expanded in size then collapsed upon itself. It wasn’t even a decent implosion, just a ‘slump’, like a cake in the oven.

The conquerors returned home in satisfaction. The null point was no longer null. The dimple was now a mound. In it’s place was a super-jovian sized mass of incandescent wreckage, rapidly coalescing into a high gravity addition to the gravity stack.

These ruins of the co-mingled galactic invasion fleet and the kidnapped planet was unique. Fantastically tall mountains and continental sized mesa’s rose to incredible heights above deep valley’s and vast lowlands and immense seas. The highlands were too tall to exist in nature, but they had alloy skeletons made from the hulls of the invading fleet.

Space time was abnormal there. There were many more planetary portals developed than was normal for any natural planet.

Over time life appeared. Where it came from is open to speculation. Perhaps the life was created and planted by the gods? Gods , in particular Loki have been known to do stranger things. Some life, perhaps much life, no doubt was accidentally transferred via the gates. Whatever the case the life adapted.

Strange life.
