and "Ki'Ra turned his head towards the massive hologram, where an image of the Guardian hovered in the air, frozen in the moment of his attack. 'As for this warrior, this Guardian... he and the other organics will soon find we are more than prepared to purge them all.'" Seven days have passed since the invasion of Earth began, and two since the first real victory against the attackers. Billions were killed in the first day, and several more millions have followed. Much of Earth's military has been crippled, with only a handful of battered military vessels and a captured alien warship remaining. However, thanks to the sacrifices of countless courageous men and women, there are still warriors with the power and will to fight for their planet. Gathering under the banner of the Defenders of their planet, they desperately push forward, refusing to accept defeat. Brave fighters have emerged from the embers of their dying world, central among them former submarine captain Jack Vade. Growing more accustomed in his new robotic body, his involvement in the war has given the Defenders the edge they needed, but there is more to the fate of this warrior than anyone is aware. Facing rising odds, the remaining people of Earth must fight together and find a way to survive and defeat the Ribiyar invaders. Before it is too late.
