The only thing left to do was address the troops. And that was a responsibility Steve had taken on.
"I've only been here two years," he began, "but in that time, I've come to know you all as the bravest, best soldiers anyone could ask for. We've had our victories and our losses. The Malacandrans have hit us hard, have hit this world hard. But you've never given up, never rolled over, and fought for every square inch of space and for every life. Fought hard, fought bravely.
Today marks the day we fight one more time. But this will be the last fight. This is for all the marbles, all or nothing. If we win today, the world will be freed. If we lose, then that's the end of everything. But we're not going to lose. Because this is our world. Because our cause is just. Because we will not lose!
The time has come to take back our planet and show them that humanity will never roll over! That the most dangerous man is a man with something to fight for!"
He pulled the shield from his back and showed it to them, the red, white, and blue disk still perfect after all these years.
"We!
Will!
Not!
Lose!"
He raised it high. "For Earth! For Humanity! For everyone!"
The cheers and applause were almost deafening.
