"Radar crew here, there are no enemy ships visible, no abnormalities. The space is clear."
"Great, let's hope it remains so."
A massive Uranium Class Battleship glided silently through space, although seemingly slow, it is going at a tremendous speed, at 1/8 of the speed of light.
"Warp drive is almost ready."
This massive ship was powered by a GW-3 Warp Drive Engine, that is capable of scaling 3 galaxies before you tea can get cold. Fully charging the ship sometimes will need it to get up close and personal with a star. Now, its mission is to go home.
"Make sure the Destroyers are in high alert. We must keep this ship active."
...
"Captain! Energy spike! Right in front!"
"Launch Crews! Alert the Destroyers now!"
"Cannon Crews, sights on!"
Almost as soon as the Radar Crew spotted an energy spike, an enemy Nova Class Battleship appeared out of nowhere, clearly out of some sort of hyperdrive that we have yet to figure out.
"Fire!"
The giant cannon on the top of the Battleship immediately rotated at the direction of the enemy Battleship, and fired 4 bursts of high-energy plasma, but it was too late, the enemy cannons have already fired. The plasma bolts from both sides hit their target dead centre, the high burst of energy from the bolts causes even the toughest of metals instantly melts and vaporized.
"We couldn't let them destroy this ship! Destroyers! Out!"
The XX Class Destroyers, having heard the captains' orders, immediately engaged the fusion engine into first stage ignition, the engine heats up and ready for the second stage.
Snap!
The hatch for each Destroyer instantly snaps open, the second ignition is immediately engaged, the sudden burst of thrust and the rapid change of pressure propels the Destroyer outwards and into the cold darkness of space, that is going to heat up very soon.
"All Destroyers out, engaging the enemy immediately!"
Each Destroyers are armed with HC-5 Battleship Railguns and HP-50 Plasma Blasters, each with devastating power. And there are all 200 of them. Although the XX Class Destroyer is already impressively large, they are leaves compared to the giant pine tree that is the Uranium Class Battleship, armed with countless defensive guns and offensive firepower. Which is more than enough to take down the Nova Class Battleship, and the Nova Class Battleship has just as much destructive force as the Uranium Class. It all comes to the Destroyers to do precise damage to the enemy Battleship.
"Approaching the enemy ship! Enemy Destroyers spotted!"
"Fire the cannons!"
As each Battleship are trying to deal as much damage as possible, the Destroyers are fighting the enemy Destroyers as well, defending their Battleship.
"Charge the CK-1 gun! We must destroy[NJP28011] that Battleship!"
"XD-34 hit! Engine is inoperable! We're bailing out!"
Several escape pods ejected from the Destroyer XD-34 Each holding one crew, engaged their respective Mini-Warp Engine to return to the closest base.
"We can't take the damage for too long, Captain! We already have the torpedoes down, the Main Cannons and CK-1 are our only offensive choices! We will have to engage the warp drive soon!"
"Drive Crew! The Warp-Drive is 90% charged! We should be good to go in a matter of minutes!"
The Main Cannons of both ships are blazing hot right now, bolts of energy flew between space to meet their target as more and more Destroyers started dropping.
"Guns armed! Fire!"
A Destroyer with third stage ignition flew past the upper deck of the Nova Class Battleship, effectively taking out a couple of their defensive cannons, the fusion engine vibrates with power as intense reactions take place within.
"We're going back, we must take out the shield generators in order for the Battleship Cannons to be effective!"
"Yes, XD-109, going under, cover me!"
As the battle goes on, Destroyers from both sides realized that in order to effectively take out the other Battleship, the shield generators from both sides are top priority.
"Fire the Cannons!"
One of the shield generators of the Nova Class Battleship got taken out, the thick energy field instantly thinned.
"Keep the guns firing! Make sure out defensive guns are always on!"
"We have taken out 2 generators on the bottom side! That area is cleared, we just need to destroy couple more and the sheild will fai-"
Nothing came from XD-109 ever again, as a defensive cannon struck the engine dead on, the fusion chamber was breached and the entire engine detonated, leaving nothing left of the Destroyer.
"The CK-1 is fully charged! Ready to fire!"
"Drive Crew, the Warp-Drive is 98% done!"
"The enemy firepower is overwhelming! We have only 67 Destroyers active!"
"XD-44, we are on the rear generators! Distract the guns while we take it out!"
Destroyer XD-44 approached from rear flank, charging the guns while the rear cannons are busy on something else, both Battleships has taken immense damage both from enemy Battleships and Destroyers, if the rear generator is taken out, the Nova Class will be vulnerable to the CK-1 Nuclear Cannon. If they fail to take it out, the enemy might have a chance in destroying the Uranium Class, which will leave their homeland vulnerable to invasion.
"Closing in, approaching engagement range!"
Only 51 Destroyers are left in combat, the numbers are still thinning.
"All cannons! Fire!"
6 Tungsten bolts are shot out at an extreme velocity, puncturing the platings on the generators, followed by a charged, high energy plasma bolt, effectively destroying the weakened structure of the generators and disabled the enemy shield.
"Enemy shield disabled! XD-44 disengaging!"
"All Destroyers! Disengage from the Nova Class immediately and engage fourth ignition!"
"Cannon Crews! Fire the CK-1!"
The highly destructive CK-1 Nuclear Cannon vibrates with power and the chamber glowed from the intense energy and heat.
...
If there was sound in space, anyone within 200 miles will lose their hearing.
The raw energy from the cannon tore through the Nova Class Battleship, cutting the entire ship in half while the chain reaction in the Nova Class occurs, various mini explosions that lead to larger ones that ultimately, destroys the fuel cells of the ship, causing the entire Nova Class to evaporate.
"All destroyers, return to the battleship, we will be engaging warp drive soon."
Most of the Destroyers have engaged the fourth ignition, which is an Emergency Power that drives the Destroyer 1/4 of the speed of light, more than enough to escape the explosion.
Most of the Destroyers, that is. XD-44 had a its engine damaged by a stray shrapnel, which fortunately, didn't blow the ship up. Unfortunately, the Destroyer was not far enough from the Nova Class when it blew up, the debris and shrapnel tore through the hull of the Destroyer and hit the fuel cells, making them extremely unstable and in the verge of detonation.
"XD-44, our cells are unstable, we are bailing out!"
Each 5 crew members rushed to their individual escape pods and launched Emergency Ejection. All 5 pods are Ejected from the Destroyer.
"Engage the Mini-Warp."
Then it struck.
The Destroyer blew up.
One of the hydrogen fuel cells blew up, launching debris and 3 other cells in various directions. One of them blew up dangerously close to an escape pod, the fuel cell acted like a mini hydrogen bomb that blasted pieces of the cell flying at all directions at a dangerous speed, one of it penetrated the platings of one of the escape pods, damaging the internal computer of the pod, causing it to launch a false signal, instead of the closest base, the Mini-Warp Drive targeted the closest habitable planet instead, in which there is only one. The Mini-Warp of the 5 Escape Pods engaged all at the right time, and the journey to the destination is uninterrupted. However, one of them is going the wrong way.
"Touchdown successful, all system running," a computerized voice rang.
"Right, which planet are we on?"
"We are currently at Planet ISP-4. Codename: Earth"
[NJP28011]
