In the 5th or 6th grade (circa 1995/1996), I wrote a sci-fi novel(la) entitled Renegades. It is more or less a blatant rip-off of any sci-fi or action movie or book I had consumed up until that point in my life. It definitely reads like the work of a 5th-grader, and I’m fairly certain I introduce a new character with a semi-unpronounceable name every few paragraphs, only to kill them off shortly afterward. This is the epilogue, and final entry in the Renegades serialization.

RENEGADES

… Continued from Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8.

Epilogue

Jonathan arrived at the Alderian border base as soon as the last piece of Comachen metal was scorched. There he was greeted by the four others, Daniel Preian, Josef and Devon Shandler and Claire Yulin, the other remaining renegades…

Shortly after, they all headed home to Alderia with the prized information. All five received gold medallions, the same with Pollocks and his six remaining pilots for their help in the mission. Special memorials were given to Timothy Cassen and the pilots who had died in the last battle. The day the news came to Alderia it was announced a day of celebration, the first major victory over the Comachens…

Josef and Devon Shandler after a nice visit, headed home to Perseus 4. Claire Yulin became a member of the Alderian military, as well as Daniel Preian.

Harri Elton before almost taking office as president, was revealed of his betrayal to the people by Daniel Preian, therefore sending Elton to behind bars and electing a new president…

Jonathan DeCartier disappeared from Alderia soon after and nobody really knew were he was, some say he went and settled on Perseus 4 and others say he was killed…

But they all knew the Comachens would strike back and there would be a deadly war. But when the time came, the Alderian’s were saved, though if Jonathan’s plan had never worked, it would have been a massacre. With the information acquired, the Alderians were able to prepare due to the battle tactics from the Spaceliner. Also, the Alderians expanded their borders by attacking several Comachen bases included in the information Jonathan had acquired, Sortak prison was one of these bases the Alderians claimed.

Still, the Alderians did not have the upper hand, but they had confidence, and that’s what aided them. But that is another story…
