312 Interplanetary War Part One

As Alicia and Grandpa Mu traveled from solar system to solar system and then to galaxy to galaxy. Alicia saw many different kinds of worlds. She was quite amazed at how earth had everything wrong when thinking of how the universe worked. The laws of physics did not apply to every planet and what was considered habitable and not habitable on earth meant nothing out here. She found it strange though. Her and Grandpa Mu were able to traverse space like it was nothing. It did not take much time to travel between places. She did not know why this was but it was true that they could traverse what should be light years by earth standards in a mere few days. 

They did not stop until they came upon a solar system that seemed to be at war. "A lot of lights going on over there." Alicia pointed towards a few planets a ways in.

"Oh? It looks like they are fighting. Like the Machine Empire, certain places have reached a point in the advancement of their technology. They do not have any means of using magic or spiritual power. So they will advance using what they call science instead." Grandpa Mu explained.

"I see… So these people are at war over resources then I am guessing or some other stupid reason." Alicia said.

"Yes, it would seem so. Normally science races like the Machine Empire destroy themselves before they ever make it to become technologically advanced enough to stand with the rest of the races out there. Most higher form races either use a type of magic or spiritual qi. The Machine Empire is the first science race to make it so far." Grandpa Mu had to hand it to the Machine Empire, their technology was very strong and even their ability to fight against cultivators and celestials has grown stronger and stronger as time goes on.

"Whatever the case is let's go check it out! I have never seen a real live space battle!" Alicia's eyes were glowing with excitement. She remembered the mecha anime she used to watch when she was on earth in her past life. Now she could see the anime become real life up close and personal!

They moved closer as they watched the beams of light shooting back and forth. There were gigantic ships all over the place as they fired beams of light at each other. Alicia truly found this interesting. She watched as one ship's escape vehicles began to fire off right before the entire ship exploded. She then watched as one of the enemy ships began firing on the escape vehicles.

"They seem to be very bloodthirsty!" Alicia was surprised at how vicious they were being. But when she thought about how this was a war, she knew it was a normal thing to do. Grandpa Mu did not say anything when he heard Alicia's comment. He only shook his head and wondered if this little girl realized she had wiped out a million soldiers in a blink of an eye not too long ago and from what he had heard back on Phantasia she wiped out an entire country. 

"There is no law saying you can not. It does happen quite a bit in certain galaxies. I have heard stories of some newly space faring civilizations becoming test subjects for other races. Some would just kill off an entire world because they found it amusing." Grandpa Mu let out a sigh. The universe was filled with people who were not good.

" I won't fight them. I just want to see what they look like." Alicia flew over to one of the bigger warships that was hanging back. She figured this was the command ship since it was so far back from the others. 

She flew over and found a big window where a lot of people were sitting inside in front of computer terminals. "Oh, they look human from what I can tell." Alicia knocked on the window and waved causing all those inside to panic. They had no idea who this little girl was or why she was outside the spaceship but they knew it was definitely not normal!

Alicia watched as the people inside began running around as if they were preparing something. Before she knew it one of the hatches to the ship opened up and the people inside were signaling her to go inside the hatch. Alicia finding this whole thing amusing did not waste any time as she flew up to the hatch and climbed inside closing it behind her. She found herself in a depressurization chamber. After the area was depressurized a hatch on the side opened and what awaited her were men in military uniforms pointing guns at her. 

Deciding to play along, Alicia raised her hands and put a frightened expression on. This made the soldiers slightly lower their guns as they looked at the beautiful young girl her hands raised and watery eyes as if she was about to cry. It was not until an older man with a large scar running down the side of his face came over did they lower their weapons. "Put them down! How can you lot point your guns at a small little girl! You making the Macalnolia Empire look bad!"

Surprisingly Alicia was able to understand what these people were saying. Which, Alicia found strange since the words coming out of their mouth were not familiar with how they were spoken but she could understand them. Still putting on her frightened little girl act Alicia looked up at the older man with a large scar on her face asked: "You won't shoot me!?"
