Stars were disappearing one by one as they looked up in horror. Planetary dust could be seen forming a milky ocean of frozen ripples in the night sky, so bright the explosions happening light years away illuminated the ground they were standing on. There was silence, until Zuzu spoke. 
 
 “ These are the closest stars to us, they will be here soon. ” 
 
 The only response was the shushing of a mother trying to calm her whimpering child. Fear was what they all felt for years, so much fear that it seemed all their fear on this night had run out, leaving only the feeling of anticipation. Today would be the end. The end of everything they've ever known, but yet there was still hope. A hope of a new beginning, one without fear, enough hope that the people felt a tinge of excitement. 
 
 A bright flash somewhere up in space meant the end of yet another planet, a silent firework that spread white light across the faces of all those watching. This one was the closest so far. 
 
 “ Do not fear, for whatever the outcome, we can rest well knowing we have given our best. ” Zuzu continued. “ Whatever happens, we sure as hell won ’ t go down without at least making these bastards bleed! ” 
 
 Many of the onlookers cheered, knowing the struggle Zuzu went through to set this up. If it was not for him, this planet would be like all the others they were currently looking at, snuffed out of existence without even one bit of resistance. 
 “ Do not fear, for we will give our lives for our planet, for our cities, for our people. For our families! ” Zuzu spoke, louder now, with more confidence. “ If we do not come back, and yet you wake up tomorrow to another day, you will know we succeeded! ” He activated his jetsuit, the propulsion lifting him off the ground so that he was floating. He lifted the helmet onto his head so that his face was completely covered. The light from the jet-flame created a bright aura around him, an angelic light. “ This is for our LEGACY! ” He yelled, and then he blasted up towards the white, dancing lights that rippled silently throughout space. 
 
 The crowd started yelling, clapping, cheering. Around them, the sound of jetsuits activating echoed through the night, as more and more pillars of light reached their way up towards the sky. First tens, then hundreds, then thousands, then a countless number shot straight up, like they were holding the planet up. They knew that these men and women were the planet ’ s only hope, willing to give up their lives so that they could live yet another day. They would fight as one against this race of planet-devourers, a race that completely erased the existence of what they passed through. 
 
 The ground beneath them shook as the first sound of battle started, and then they started praying.
