The screams of soldiers rung out in her ears, as she was hefted from the ground by a large male, his face and body covered in full plate armor.

"Get up, Leona." He scowled. "We need you, they're pushing our lines!" He yelled, as an axe flew past his head, he moved to avoid it almost as if he knew it was coming long before the axe was thrown.

Leona looked around her, as warriors clad in armour of two colors waged a fierce battle. One army wore gold, the other wore dark silver.

Her long flowing blond hair, tied back behind her head. Her crimson and gold armour, with a beautiful engraving of a sun on her neck. Her sword and shield lay on the ground where she had been laying.

"Aye, I'm a'right. Just a knock to my head caddirch." She said. Shaking her head slightly, bending to heft the giant shield into her left arm, and her sword into her right hand. "Cheers for the wake up call."

Suddenly, there was a loud scream from amongst the furious clashing of steel and yells of pain and anger from the ranks.

Caddrich turned as did half a dozen of the front line men on both sides. The scream was Gallia. "Argh shite!" She spewed, Leona pushed past caddrich with a renewed vigour, as she called forth inhuman powers of strength, blasting through the front lines as a trail of sunlight was left in her wake.

She arrived to the front to see Gallia, struggling with a large Silver chainmail wearing beast. The creature looked to be a monster, from the stories of old. A shield of silver protected Gallia, the mages had cast their spell just in time, but that beast would soon break that shield. Leona threw herself forwards, and heaved her heavy shield and sword through her foe, slashing her way forwards, as a wave of gold clad soldiers followed behind their champion. "Gallia!" She yelled, and the women turned. It was Gallia, in all intents and purposes in her typical uniform. Leona Jumped with all her might, and a blaze of fire rose with her, as she soared high into the sky. Hovering there, she called out. "Demon, Unhand my wife!"

With a fury that even god's could not defy, she landed her blade clean into the creature, slicing it completely in half, landing directly in front of Gallia, protecting her from a near certain fatal blow from this creature's blade. Cheers arose from the golden warriors, as the enemy army became further discouraged. "Retreat" They yelled, as the armies began to break apart.

Leona took off her large golden helmet, to reveal that this entire time, it was Kara under the golden armor. "No-one shall harm you my love. I will always protect you, hope has arrived."

The computer beeped suddenly, as the hologrid emerged and the fantasy world faded away. "What the... my story. Computer, where is the rest of my story?" She asked.

"Gone" Said a man's voice. "It's all gone. You're worried about a love story?" The mysterious voice said. "Soon this ship will be gone, Chief...I wonder how you propose to stop it..." The computer beeped again.

"The holoprogram has been paused, would you like to continue" Said the computer.

Kara was left stunned and with one question on her mind: "just what in the world happened...."
