The Story

A planet outside of the Earth's galaxy called Pan was suddenly attacked by an
unknown alien force. The aliens had the power to consume all living things,
machines, and buildings. Pan soon became overwhelmed by the aliens and their
army began losing all of its fighting power. The soldiers and people of Pan
were advised to evaculate the planet, however, the captain of the army, Max
Maverick , refused to leave. He suited up for battle and faced the aliens alone
using his motorcycle and Hover-craft as his only means of transportation.
