"Our shields are down!"
"They're going for our Energy Drive!" said anopther officer.
"TUrn to course 4110 point 09!" said the Admiral.
"The hull is buckl- AHHHH!!!"
The bridge window broke, and then the emergency shield system came online, protecting the bridge from the black vastness of space. Overall, they had lost two officers on the bridge.
The Guardian now flew, though slowly, above the Mothership, exchanging fire with the colassal monster and slowly being torn to bits.
"Get us out of here! We have to pll back to the Inner Defenses!" said the Admiral.
And then, a miracle happen. A transmission, though blocky, came through.
"To all NT******Inn****fences have be******all ships pull ba****I repe******ships pull back. Trans*****"
"That does it! We're pullin back! Commander, order all remaining ships to pull back to the Earth Inner Defenses. That is where we will make our last stand."
WIthout evening noticing that there may be survivors on other ships, the remainder of the NTGA fleet quickly pulled back to the Inner Defenses, leaving the Shadow Hunters behind for now. But they would be back.

It had been two hours since the battle had ended, but the crew of the Guardian still resided on their ships. And the Admiral was now in his quarters, watching his still un-broken screen. IN this case, IGNN or Inter Galactic News Network.
"It has now been two hours since the Battle for Earth has ceased. Here, yet again, is some photage of the battle."
On the screen they showed a battle taking place Sun Side. Ships were taking and returning fire, and others being destroyed... they had no respect for the fallen. Then, the photage was cut.
"We have just been informed of a Press Conference taking place at the new NTGA an Terran Defense Force headquarters. Here it is now."
Then, they switch to London, England, where the Press Conference is being held.
General Chang, leader of the TDF and FLeet Admiral Hunter of the NTGA each have their own podium to be speaking from. The General spoke first.
"First off, welcome to everyone who is attending this Press COnference. But enough with formalities, on with the important matters.
"The Shadow Hunter offensive taking place in Africa right now has been contained. It seems that without the rest of the Shadow Hunter forces to be there with them, they have lost some morale. Though they do still fight on, we are slowly containing an destroying this threat.
"Now, the other good news until we get to the bad news. The Inner Defenses have now been activated, and will probably be able to withstand the Shadow Hunter fire for at least three weeks tops. But will we be evacuating the Earth populace shortly.
"And now, to Admiral Hunter with the bad news," finished the General.
The Admrial nodded, cleared his throat, and then began.
"As you know, we had the First, Fifth and Seventh Fleets defending Earth. In total, that is seven-thousand-six-hundred-eighteen ships, three-thousand-five-hundred-eighty-four ships have been lost in it's defense. That brings are total number of forces to four-thousand-thirty-four ships left to defend Earth. But out of those, only about one-thousand of them are completely battle ready.
"Now, to the good news. Just before the battle began, I got word out to some of our outer system neighbours. They are all mobilizing a sufficent attack force that should be able to drive the Shadow Hunters for a long time to come.
"Evacuations shall begin at 0900 hours tomorrow. That will be all-" and then that was it.
Craig looked at the screen in horror. It had now turned to the HMOMCS's battling each other in Africa. Today was going to be a long day...
