History[]
Justice for the End of the World[]
As Secretary of Defense, Patricia Peterson urges U.S. President Joshua Warring to call off the attacks by the SR-72 Stargate before they can verify who or what they were about to see in space. Just then, a massive asteroid started to enter into Earth's exosphere, indicated by satellites and telescopes. Scientists inferred that the asteroid would come into impact in around ten days, before it would be pulled in by Earth's gravity, and hit the Earth. President Joshua Warring issued a statement to scramble as many fighter ships as possible.
Just as then, a batch of alien starships started raining down to intercept the US Space Force's fighter ships. Peterson tells the President he has an authority to use a B83 Hydrogen Bomb without hurting civilians from fallout. As the fighters pulled back, the nuke blew up on the asteroid, but left no trace of damage; it actually fueled the asteroid with more energy. The asteroid finally impacted, engulfing the Earth in a firestorm within seconds. Hours after the impact, aliens start the break out to conquer the Earth.
5 years later, Peterson, Watson-Warring, Warring, and vice president Thomas Barrett become survivors in the new apocalyptic war, with alien starships flying around. Hiding in a bunker, they pact together with the remainder of the U.S. Armed Forces. They determined that the weak points of the aliens was the original asteroid, which controls them as a hive-mind, heavily guarded by alien starfighters. The U.S. military contacts surviving airborne squadrons around the world through Morse code to organize a united counter-offensive. Lacking pilots, Peterson, Warring and Captain Jake Travis enlist volunteers with flight experience, including an ace pilot named Edwin Anderson, from the refugee camp at the base to fly the remaining jets at Area 51. Warring leads an attack on a saucer bearing down on the base, overseen by Travis and Peterson.
With all-out assault on the asteroid base, Warring's squadron engages the enemy fighters, with its ammunition severely damaging the asteroid, but exhaust their weapons before they can destroy the asteroid. With more casualties coming their way and the aliens eventually finding their way to the base, Anderson's last missile is unable to fire; he sacrifices himself by crashing into the asteroid and destroying it. As humanity rejoices, Warring reunites with his family, as Peterson looks off into the sunset.
Blood Moon: Justice for the World[]
Peterson in Blood Moon: Justice for the World
Three years after the battle for Earth, Patricia Peterson, having retired from his position as Secretary of Defense, was told by her friend Brian Harris, that the Moon's orbit is veering closer to Earth. The remnants of NASA also discovers the anomaly. A man, named Bloodstone, came to look for his relative, Titus Philemon, since the rest of his ancestors and descendants were killed by the alien asteroid. Philemon, by then, was with Patricia Peterson and Brian Harris.
As Dwight was discharged, he felt the moon crumble, before the moon suddenly became bright orange. When Bloodstone finally arrived at Philemon's house, he warned the three of the coming danger, with Bloodstone befriending Peterson very quicky. Just as he was about to leave, Philemon is killed by an alien nano-swarm, piercing through his body, before Bloodstone vaporized the swarm.
With help from the White House, Patricia, Bloodstone and Brian get into a spaceship that took them a couple hours to reach the moon. They reach the interior of the Moon, revealed to be powered by a white dwarf at its center. The white dwarf, acting as a speaker vessel, told the duo that the aliens, that they've defeated three years ago, built a base inside the Moon as an interstellar base to strike an attack on Earth, killing the rest of humanity by pushing the moon to the Earth.
President Warring orders a nuclear strike on the approaching Moon, but remains ineffective. Bloodstone, seeing sacrifice as the only way, tears down the moon's internal structure, as Patricia and Brian escape the collapsing infrastructure of the moon. After a slaughter inside the moon, Bloodstone finally deactivates the white dwarf, making the moon collapse in on itself. Patricia and Brian make it home safely, as Earth gets to live another day, now without its moon.
War for Justice Across Worlds[]
With Patricia Peterson and Brian Harris, now engaged, meet up with Han Warring, the grown son of President Joshua and First Lady Rosa Warring, and his girlfriend, Maxine Richardson. While the four discuss plans for their Martian plan, they suddenly see giant fireballs raining down on Earth. The four run away from the chaos, as the landing pods drop onto Earth's atmosphere. Peterson, recognizing they were the aliens, calls in the United States military.
After the alien conqueror Xaz R'ida kills the Martian human colony, and kidnaps the President and First Lady, Patricia and Brian reverse-engineered the aliens' tech to be tailored towards humans. While doing so, they learn that the president and the first lady have been captured, and that the aliens surrender Earth to them, and become their slaves. The two, along with Han and Maxine, hatch a plan to free the two, and finally crumbling the alien empire. They first engaged in a full-on space battle.
A shuttle, disguising as one of the alien spaceships, boards Xaz's mothership, where the president and first lady are being held hostage. Patricia, Brian, Han and Maxine, armored with alien tech, barge their way through the ship. They finally stand face-to-face with Xaz and Sav Tha'lin. Patricia and Brian take on Xaz, while Han and Maxine take on Sav. With the two groups being separated, and their weapons destroying the ship's halls as they fight, Han and Maxine finally overpower Sav and kill him by stabbing him in the head with his spear. Meanwhile, Xaz has been overpowering both Patricia and Brian, with him punching a hole through Brian's torso, and crushing Patricia's left leg. Xaz leaves them to die to their wounds.
With Han, Maxine and the Warrings, whom the former two have rescued, finally out of the blast radius, after some trouble with the alien soldiers, Patricia and Brian share a moment together, recollecting all their past memories with each other after that first asteroid impact. They share one last kiss together, and with Xaz finally running into the engine room, Patricia and Brian use their alien plasma cannons to shoot at the nuclear power cells, triggering a detonation that blows up the entire fleet. Humanity had finally won the war. Back on Earth, everyone on Earth mourn the deaths of Patricia and Brian, but they also honored them for their sacrifice to save humanity once and for all. They had won a decisive battle for the fate of humanity, thanks to two people.
Survival of the Justice for the World[]
Peterson in Survival of the Justice for the World
With Washington D.C. in ruins after the asteroid impact, Patricia Peterson and her cousin, Elliot, who was with her at this time, ushered President Warring and his family, his wife and his two sons, Eric and Han, into a bunker. However, it was too late and the White House was swept by a giant dustbowl, crumbling the White House. Miraculously, both of them survived, along with the President's family. Among the ruins, they saw another group of people emerge from the ruins, that being President Warring, his two sons and his wife. The two gathered together, before an incoming alien blitzkrieg was approaching, and hid under the rubble. The group knew that if they were to survive, they would have to stick together. After gathering all the ammunition they could get from the near-destroyed armory, they trekked North for days in hopes of finding other survivors, setting up camp near an entrance to Baltimore, Maryland. A small squadron of alien fighters approaching. They hide under their tents, in hopes of the aliens not detecting them. They go safely unnoticed.
After rescuing a woman named Emily Blanchard, two ships, that have been tailing them on their western star truck, started shooting at them. Eric, Patricia and Han start to shoot at the ships, taking one down successfully. However, rather than crashing and burning with the ship, the alien ejected with an anti-gravity motorbike from the cockpit, quickly gaining on them. A stray shot from the second ship, however, caused the truck to tip over and flip on its side, causing the bike to crash into the middle of the trailer, which collided with the ground and exploded. As that second ship regained its focus, it aimed at the President, who was at the driver's seat, and his wife sitting next to him, before a load of rockets bombarded the ship, destroying it. Patricia, Elliot and the President's family run off, while two of them stay behind to make one last stand to stall.
The survivors' final destination planned was Lexington, Kentucky, in their last hope of finding other survivors, seeing as their only other survivor was killed off. Upon arriving, they were left to see another abandoned city. Just as they were about to leave for any bunkers nearby, another alien ship spotted them, and started to shoot the group again. A stray shot hits a building, causes it to collapse. As the President hits the accelerator, the trio of Patricia, Elliot and Han keep on shooting from the back of the Topkick, however, due to the constant rubble falling in seconds, and the rough terrain, Elliot gets thrown out of the car and gets buried under the rubble. They finally shoot it down, the explosion happening right in front of the wreckage of the building.
The group finally make it to a bunker nearby Lexington, where they found more survivors in it. Patricia plans to get revenge of the aliens, not just for the world, but also for his close cousin.
