Prologue:

The Development and History Of Manicore.

Wow!! This was an absolutely beautiful landscape.

The air was clean, the water was clean, even the ground was clean.

This may have been said before in a movie…

But anyway, there was NO pollution whatsoever as the children played and had the time of their lives running around in the open field.

…Can’t even complain and say, ‘What’s wrong with this picture!?!’

These children were made up of humans and other life forms as well.

This was a generation when interstellar travel was common.

Year, 2247ad

The reason there was no pollution is because in this generation, ever since the end of World War III, cold fusion was used for fuel, which made air pollution and water pollution a thing of the past.

Then other interstellar nations adopted our cold fusion idea.

…well, the interstellar nations that weren’t already using cold fusion anyway.

As a result of cold fusion being used in this generation for fuel, less Co2 would enter into the atmosphere of any habitual planet, and global warming was reduced, which stopped the polar ice caps from melting on Earth; restoring the status of both the Artic and Anartica, and solving global problems on other planets as well…

It’s about time too!!!

In space…

A platoon of Manicore troops, who were dressed in space suits, were prepared to jump out of an ambling spacecraft.

A huge door to the spacecraft opened, revealing an earthlike planet that was miles below it.

The name of this military branch was Manicore.

In this Intergalactic Age Generation, there were no more orphanages, boarding schools, military schools, or foster care.

If there were any abandoned babies discovered, or any child unable to be raised under parental care, they were drafted into Manicore.

…A highly intensely trained military department where soldiers-to-be are genetically re-structured during training...

I mean, of course, many people also joined Manicore by choice…

So anyway, the Manicore troops jumped out of the spacecraft, purposely freefalling towards the planet.

Fire appeared around the fireproof spacesuits of the Manicore troops as they free fell into the planet’s atmosphere.

Aboard a Manicore space vessel…

Manicore children were being lectured by a Manicore instructor as they view a HUGE holographic screen that showed our solar system, which was surrounded by the Oort cloud.

This is our solar system.... which today, is known as the Oort Empire.

It was named after the Oort Cloud that surrounds its outer region.

The Oort Empire is where the Department of Manicore was founded and developed in the latter part of the 21st century after the third world war...

Being that one third of the Earth’s population died out during the third world war, this motivated the government to use cold fusion, to save and restore the global environment as well as the population.

And ever since then, new technology was developed that helped children complete their education around age 10. …both highschool and college level.

YES. People began their careers at age 10. One of the reasons why there was no more poverty on Earth.

‘…This is what the Manicore instructor happened to be lecturing the Manicore Children about…’

On one of the Manicore training grounds…

A group of kids, male and female, human beings as well as other intelligent life forms, jogged along a trail while dressed in shorts and T-shirts that had the words ‘Department of Manicore’ printed on them.

Manicore troops were trained to be the most intensely genetically reconstructed elite soldiers, involving intelligent species from many parts of the Milky way galaxy. ...developed to help maintain peace between all nations on Earth as well as all allied interstellar colonies...

Teenagers dressed in the military work out attire, both humans and other intelligent life forms, ran through an obstacle course.

Manicore was also designed to protect the Oort Empire as well as all other allied solar systems.

A Manicore troop laid on a bench that was on a glowing pad.

The Manicore troop bench pressed a bar. The holographic words that float stationary above this troop read: Gravitational pressure of 230 lbs.

In another area of this gym, a Manicore female was doing arm curls with a bar while standing on a glowing pad.

The holographic words above her read: Gravitational pressure of 180 lbs.

In another area of the gym, a Manicore Troop constantly executed punches and kicks to floating balls.

Other Manicore troops pounded away on punching bags that floated stationary in the air; landing all types of punches, kicks, elbow, and knee strikes. …funny! Even Head-bunts strikes.

Other Manicore troops skipped rope while executing punches to the air as the ropes turn themselves with the rope handles floating in the air at an even level.

Two young human adults, male and female, dressed in karate uniforms, sparred.

The back of the Karate gi’s had printed on them: ‘Department of Manicore’.

‘Every Manicore troop is trained in many different fighting styles that originate from many different planetary colonies in our Milkyway galaxy.’

‘Each Manicore troop was taught to maintain a fear and doubt free mentality as well as to support each and every Infantry Platoon member in every possible way at all possible costs.’

A group of young adults, humans as well as other intelligent species, practiced take down techniques on each other.

On an obstacle course… At night…

Manicore troops crawled underneath glowing barbed wire as lasers zoomed in all directions at only a few feet above the glowing barbed wire.

At a shooting range…

Manicore troops, humans as well as other intelligent species, fired lasers at fast moving holographic targets.

‘This was how the Manicore troops trained to keep their skills sharp. …pretty dope. Huh?’

In space… during the war with the Barcadian army…

Spacecrafts zoomed about while firing lasers at each other. Spacecrafts that were hit exploded while ingulfing in flames.

‘Fearing that any alien civilization may be more advanced technology wise, we hoped that interstellar wars would never see declaration...’

‘However, when a malicious species from across the Milkyway known as the Barcadian launched an attacked on the Oort Empire to gain its power, thanks to Manicore... not only were we prepared... But we were victorious.’

A space vessel exploded one portion at a time after being pounded by so many lasers. Then suddenly…

MAJOR BOOM!!!

‘After our victory, the Barcadian army General surrendered while agreeing to a truce with the Orrt Empire and all of its allies, and became one of our allies themselves. …However, a group of rebel Barcadian troops, who refused to accept defeat, took many individuals from our allied solar systems hostage; for the continued attempt to gain our power...’

A holographic screen showed an image of a massive spiral galaxy.

Words appeared on the screen that read ‘GALACTIC MEDIA TODAY’

The holographic media screen showed a group of hostages, both human and other intelligent species, being forced into a large compound by bluish green creatures known as the Barcadian species.

“Twenty remaining hostages from seven of Orrt Empires allied solar systems still remain hostages of rebel Barcadian troops,” said the media narrator.

The media screen then showed the Barcadian General and a few Barcadian high rank officer troops shaking hands with the leaders of Earth.

President Glen Glory, Caucasian male, mid-fifties, shaved head, was among these leaders who shook hands with the Barcadian troops’ right before saluting them.

The Barcadian General raised his right hand and bowed to President Glen Glory.

This was a common way of greeting people in the Barcadian Solar System …who I mentioned before, were now our allies.

But anyway, the Media Narrator continued with, “Rebel Barcadian troops continue capturing hostages ever since the truce went viral on the Galactic Media Web. And they’re constantly confirming that no hostages will be released until the Orrt Empire surrenders itself, as well as all allied colonies, to them.”

Oh crap!!! The BIG oh crap!!!

Yes. This was some devastating news causing despair all over the darn Milkyway.

The holographic Media screen now showed other brutally beaten hostages being hauled into a compound.

The media narrator quoted, “This footage was sent viral from God knows where. And as we can see, all twenty hostages have been brutally beaten and horribly abused. All hostages are currently still alive however...”

A yellow holographic circle floated approximately six inches in front of the Lead Rebel Barcadian Troop’s face.

As the Lead Barcadian rebel troop spoke in the Barcadian native language, the yellow holographic circle translated his words to, “This is a constant reminder, that WE are not about truce or accepting defeat in war! I will say again and again! The hostages will continue to be tortured, beaten, AND abused, until we are given what we desire!”

The holographic screen went to static…

‘Auh oh. We better call on Manicore to save the day!!!’
