Hello there! Before anyone asks, you can call me as Dax-RangerGuy and I'm actually Rigged Bomb's brother and he told me that I can use this account since he is far too busy with his work and told me that he was getting frustrated with ManhattanTheory not answering his calls. I asked him if he can lent me this account since I'm kinda having problems setting up my own and he told me that I can practically go crazy with it so here we are. I just want to try my skills in making a story around here so I'll try first with this one. As an extra note, this story will be mixing parts of both the original series, GX , 5DS and maybe even ARC-V (But not Zexal cause fuck Zexal. For me, it's like the Jar Jar of the Yu Gi Oh! series. I mean seriously, does everyone have to shout and be so overly dramatic all the time? Man, it seriously makes me cringe.) Please leave a review so that I can hear your thoughts.

(History Timeline)

1993

-Maximilian Pegasus, President of Industrial Illusions, reveals his new card game called Duel Monsters to the world where it became an instant overall hit.

1996

-The world famous Duel Monsters World Champion and CEO of KaibaCorp, Seto Kaiba is defeated in a duel by a fairly, at the time, unknown duelist named Yugi Muto.

-Upon hearing of Seto Kaiba's defeat, Maximilian Pegasus strikes a deal with The Big Five from KaibaCorp in an attempt to overthrow Seto and gain control of KaibaCorp by holding the Duelist Kingdom Tournament. Many professional and promising duelists entered Pegasus' tournament including Yugi Muto who became the tournament's victor at the end and was crowned with the title "King of Games".

-2 out of the 3 legendary Egyptian God Cards are stolen by a group of men who are under the command of a mysterious individual who calls himself Malik Ishtar. The remaining unstolen Egyptian God Card was given to Seto Kaiba by its keeper, Ishizu Ishtar.

1997

-The Duel Disk System invented by KaibaCorp is released worldwide after which an announcement by KaibaCorp CEO Seto Kaiba was made where he declared that he will be hosting the Battle City Tournament at Domino City and promised numerous prizes for the victor with the best prize being the losing opponent's rare cards. Secretly however, this announcement was made by Kaiba in an effort to lure the other 2 legendary Egyptian God Cards into one place. Numerous elite duelists entered the tournament in search of powerful rare cards and/or glory with some having much more sinister intentions in place. The emerging winner from the tournament was none other than Yugi Muto who became victorious in his fight against his final opponent in the tournament who is none other than Marik Ishtar himself. After being crowned as the winner, Yugi Muto acquired all three legendary Egyptian God Cards.

1998

-For the following months of the year, all sorts of various weird shit begins to happen all over the world, starting with the reported 'rise' of a city hidden beneath the waves up to massive hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes and tsunamis. Many people thought that the world was ending, resulting in numerous suicides happening all throughout the globe. Fortunately however, these events all eventually subsided as fast as they appeared for no reason. Some experts tried to link these events to the famous Duel Monsters card game that the whole world was obsessed playing with but the majority of the public simply brush them off, citing that it is silly to think that a simple fancy card game can cause all of these strange calamities.

-At the end of the year, the KC Grand Tournament was held by KaibaCorp which was once again won by Yugi Muto who defended his title as 'King of Games' during the final parts of the tournament.

2000

-The Duel Academy was established in Southern Japan by Seto Kaiba setting up the pattern and establishment of numerous other duelist academies all over the world in the future.

2006

-The GX Tournament was held on Duel Academy's private island of which Chazz Princeton became the winner.

2024

-The groundbreaking Ener-D System was created by KaibaCorp, which revolutionized the entire energy industry due to it being practically a limitless energy generation system. Several protest groups tried to voice their objections against the new system, citing some unknown dangers that the Ener-D System might possess but their complaints however, just fell on deaf ears.

2025

-Duels Runners were introduced by KaibaCorp which gave birth to a whole new category of dueling called Turbo Duels.

-Synchro Monsters were introduced.

2028

-The Zero Reverse Event occurred, resulting in a massive tectonic shift that splits Domino City into the two separate areas of Neo Domino City and Satellite, the latter of which was hit hardest by the event. The incident of the Zero Reverse Event caused a massive public backlash worldwide against KaibaCorp's Ener-D System and many countries began halting the development of the system within their own territories while some even scrapping the system completely and replacing it with much more limited sources of energy. Only a few countries kept the system thoroughly active within their territories, namely countries like the United States, Russia, China, a few countries within the EU, and Great Britain due to the vast limitless potential of energy it can provide and have instead opt to research and develop methods that would ensure that a Zero Reverse Event won't happen within their states.

2045

-The prestigious World Racing Grand Prix was held at Neo Domino City, with Team 5DS ending up as the winners after emerging victorious between their fight against Team New World.

2046

-Neo Domino City and Satellite were finally reconnected to one another, resulting in the two finally becoming a single city once again.

2055

-With most of the world's natural oil deposits being depleted, many countries around the globe have their backs pushed against the wall due to the worldwide oil crisis and have been forced to begrudgingly accept KaibaCorp's Ener-D System once again despite its inherent dangers.

2061

-By the start of the new decade, most of the countries around the world are using the Ener-D System to provide the ever growing needs and energy consumption of their society.

-Industrial Illusions was bought by world renowned billionaire Victor Manswell who then begins to quickly invest most of his newly acquired company's stock on various types of technological innovations like hard light technology and space travel.

2065

-Victor Manswell seals a deal between Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp to a joint development project that will develop a new type of space engine using KaibaCorp's Ener-D System which will make space travel effortless for humanity.

2067

-The new Ener-D Engine was finally developed in a joint effort by Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp and new plans for an expedition trip to Mars was made by the two mega corporations. Various countries began making orders for purchase of the new engines but others are still unsure, preferring to wait it out first in order to see the results of the Ener-D Engine's performance.

2070

-The joint expedition between Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp was finally launched from earth and successfully arrived within its destination of Mars within only 8 hours. The success of the expedition further boosted Industrial Illusions and KaibaCorp's standing within the corporate world while the countries that were formerly hesitant in buying the Ener-D Engine were swiftly smitten by its performance and began making orders to buy it in bulk. A race to colonize the unclaimed areas of Mars began, ushering in a new Golden Age for humanity's space travel.

2086

-Several dozen colonies began popping up all over Mars like crazy as each space capable country from Earth claimed large areas from the former desolate planet without the restriction placed upon them by the U.N. Among the new colony cities established within Mars were the European Union's Lowell City and Japan's New Domino City.

2088

-KaibaCorp discovers a large hidden cache of unknown alien technology during one of its water extraction operations at Mars' polar ice caps and learns about the science of mass effect fields and Element Zero. Seeing the obvious potential it can provide for their company, KaibaCorp quickly has its best scientists unlock the secrets of the unknown alien technology. Meanwhile, KaibaCorp begins experimenting with applying mass effect technology to one of mankind's most favorite and serious areas of business; namely Duel Monsters.

2089

-KaibaCorp's application of mass effect science to the solid vision technology used in Duel Monsters results in the holograms gaining the ability to become solid objects that are capable of actually damaging real objects. Though KaibaCorp didn't really meant to and was only aiming to improve the excitement of Duel Monsters, the United States, China and Russia began experimenting on the probable chances of weaponizing Duel Monsters as its capability of providing a never ending supply of monstrous soldiers can prove to be quite advantageous to their military. Several other countries began following suit after noticing of the plans of the United States, China and Russia via the secret spies they implemented within those countries.

2096

-With most of the territories on Mars being claimed by the existing countries on Earth, humanity begins searching for more additional territories to claim and conquer. Following the patches of data translated from the alien ruins KaibaCorp discovered, humanity discovers that Pluto's moon, Charon, is actually a massive interstellar gateway that can allow swift transport between systems. A joint expedition between the five main powerful nations of Earth was sent to the gateway which once activated, sent the exploration team several light years away into a different system which humanity has dubbed Arcturus.

2105

-As a show of cooperation for the entire beneficial development of humanity, the Systems Alliance Charter is signed by the top 18 countries on Earth. The Alliance soon becomes the main military and exploratory spearhead of humanity.

2110

-Duel Monsters were finally weaponized for military use and immediately saw use during an anti-terrorist operation in which a couple dozen radicalized men held almost a hundred innocent civilians hostage during a Duelist Championship Cup Tournament at New Domino City. The terrorists were swiftly taken down after a special weapons and tactics squad used the newly developed weaponized military Duel Disks to summon Shadow Ghouls, Tactical Espionage Experts and various kinds of ninja monsters to silently dispatch and slaughter the terrorists. Seeing the excellent success of its deployment, Alliance military begins drafting out plans to equip the new weapons and technology to its forces.

2128

-The Alliance is now fully equipped with the latest weaponised technology derived from Dual Monsters which has it saw use in all branches of its military.

2157

-Another dormant alien gateway was discovered orbiting near the colony of Shanxi and sensing an opportunity, Alliance military immediately have their forces to activate the Relay before preparing to send an exploration team straight through it.

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"Exiting in 3… 2… 1…" The navigation officer announced as the Hokkaido emerged from the alien gateway, followed by three more frigate class ships that were of the same class as it as well as four civilian research ships.

The design of the frigates were very odd as any person who simply observes the exterior of the vessels would notice that the ships are simply lacking any sort of visible main cannon or gun turrets lining their sides, being so blank and bare it's as if the ships' designers simply forgot to add weapons to the things. In fact, the only visible things on the ships that resemble weapons of sort are the two strange extensions at their sides that resemble large blades of sort with 5 large slots decorating their surface. However, one should not underestimate the seemingly harmless appearance of these vessels as the number of hidden tricks they possess makes up for more than any possible visible that they lack.

Sitting on his chair on the Hokkaido's bridge is the ship's captain, Harmon Braxton, who's calmly smoking his pipe as he stared at the image of the new star system his fleet has arrived into.

"Captain! Transition has been successful!" A helmsman announced "We have successfully arrived into a new star system!"

Captain Braxton nods in response, talking a small puff from his pipe before he spoke "Good. Now, tell me what are the readings you can detect from the planets located within this system?"

"I think I need a brief moment for that Sir…" The navigation officer replied as he swiftly glides his fingers over at his keyboard, typing at it furiously before he eventually stopped.

"No way…" The officer muttered in surprise, his eyes growing wide as he is having difficulty believing the information being displayed on his screen. "Captain, you won't believe this but I'm getting a reading of five planets… five planets that are capable of supporting life!"

A brief silence reigned for some time within the Hokkaido's bridge before the sounds of cheering and celebration eventually it down.

Captain Braxton smiles as he starts to leans back on his chair, saying "Well, this will be the best news the Alliance shall ever receive yet. Contact high command at once cause I'm pretty sure that they will definitely flip once they hear about this."

The navigation officer grins at his captain's orders "As you wish Sir! I'll be starting right away-"

"Sir!" Another helmsman suddenly interrupts "I'm detecting something on our radar! Twenty five unknown objects that are slowly approaching our position!"

"What?!" Captain Braxton exclaimed in surprise "Put it on screen! Quickly!"

The helmsman did as he was told and the view screen on the bridge begins to display the images of the twenty five unknown objects to the entire crew of the Hokkaido and once they have finally got a good look and inspection at the things, the crew found out that the objects approaching them were actually an entire fleet of unknown, alien design.

"C-Captain? A-Are those…" One of the Hokkaido's crewmembers gulps before finishing "…a-aliens?"

Captain Braxton slowly nods in response, confirming the crewmember's fears "Aye. I think it is."

"Captain! What do you think we should do?" The ship's communications officer asks

Taking a small puff of smoke again from his pipe before answering, the captain said "Well, what else? Prepare the first contact package. We need to clear this out before any of them starts firing on us at this moment."

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

Captain Norius Agonis sighed as he stared at the image of the tiny unknown alien fleet his patrol group has come across to on the image of his viewport, muttering something about how the Hierarchy doesn't pay him enough for his job.

It had been a couple years already since Captain Agonis and his fleet have been assigned by the Council to guard this area of space located near the dormant Relay 314 and time has already made him weary of his job. For starters, the area is far too close to the damn Geth's territory and is also a favorite hideout spot for pirates coming from the Terminus Systems, making it quite the hotspot to patrol for the galaxy's best known enforcers. So much that in fact, the number of skirmishes Captain Agonis' fleet has fought within the area is so high that Agonis already stopped counting once he has already reached the double digits.

Having recently just emerged victorious from a brief skirmish with a small pack of Batarian pirates that tried to sneak past them, Captain Agonis and fleet was already quite drained and exhausted when they have come across what appears to be small fleet belonging to an unknown faction who have suddenly activated the only dormant Mass Relay within the area, an act which is clearly stated to be illegal according to Council law. However, when Captain Agonis the designs of the unknown ships scanned by his men and had them run it through their database, they found out that it didn't match any designs by the known races suggesting that the ships they have come across to belong to an entirely new species. This theory was further confirmed after the scans they made on the ships detected traces of energy particles belonging to an unknown source of energy that they have never have encountered before.

That bit of new information made Captain Agonis weary as this means things will become a lot more complicated especially if he tried to arrest them for breaking a law which, in their defense, they didn't really even know about which wouldn't matter as the law the Council made didn't distinguish on whether you know about it or not. However, since Captain Agonis was caught in a much worn out mood for today, he decided to make a temporary exception for today and try to solve this situation rather diplomatically instead of the usual gung ho strategy that most of his colleagues use.

"Captain! We manage to make contact with the alien fleet's main ship! Should I put them on screen now?" A communications officer asks

"Isn't it obvious?" Captain Agonis sighed as he rubbed his temples with his left hand "Just do it already so that I can finally catch some rest this instant. And send them one of our translator programs by the way. They will obviously not understand a thing we can say since I'm pretty sure that they don't speak our language."

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"Captain!" The Hokkaido's communications officer exclaimed "I've already established a direct contact channel with the alien fleet and it seems we are receiving a data packet containing some sort of translator program from them. Apparently, it seems pretty simple enough that it can translate our language to theirs and vice versa instantly to a level of understandable dialogue. Should I open it?"

Captain Braxton nodded in approval "Indeed and try to put these aliens on screen so that we can get a fine look at them.

"Already on it sir and… done!" The officer announced and the image of what appears to be a bipedal creature with four mandibles, a vaguely bird-like crest and clawed hands with only three fingers filled the entire view screen of the ship.

The alien leaned forward, seemingly tapping a clawed finger at the screen, saying "Hello? Testing, testing. Can you understand me? Please respond to me if you can."

Seeing that the alien on their screen is now speaking English, Captain Braxton assumed that the translator program they sent must be working perfectly.

"Yes. We understand your words as clearly as we can. I assume that you can understand us as well?"

The alien nodded in response "Certainly. Though I'm glad that we can understand each other here perfectly, we want to know why your kind has just activated the dormant Mass Relay within this system so that we can clear off any confusion around here."

"Mass… Relay?" Captain Braxton asks in confusion "Is that what that gateway was called?"

The alien nodded again "Indeed, and I want to know why you activated it. If it's some sort of accident then maybe I'll let you off with only several warnings and a large fine since you caught me in a really tired mood today and-"

"Warnings? Fines? What are you talking about? We didn't do anything wrong. We only just activated that relay just so we can explore this system." Captain Braxton said

The alien frowned at his statement "Well then, since your people had purposely activated this formerly dormant relay instead of it being purely accidental, I will have to say that I regret informing you that your kind has just broken a major law that the Citadel Council imposes on the rest of the galactic community which is activating any dormant Mass Relay without their given permission."

"Well sorry but we didn't even know that that law even existed in the first place!" Captain Braxton replied

The alien just sighed wearily at his reply "I'm sorry but it's the law and everyone has to obey it to ensure order within the galaxy. I would have to inform you sir that you would have to power your ships down and allow my men to board you otherwise we will be forced to take some rather 'drastic' measures to ensure your compliance."

"WHAT?!" Captain Braxton screamed out all of a sudden, jumping out from his seat as he couldn't believe what he is just hearing "You can't be serious! You can't do this! We didn't do anything wrong!"

The alien looked at him with a rather solemn looking expression on its face "I'm sorry but it's the law. Don't worry; my men won't harm any of your crewmembers as we will treat you all fairly as our… guests, if you could say that."

"Guests? You mean prisoners don't you?" Captain Braxton snarled

The alien seemingly winced at what he said "I prefer you don't say that. I don't want this all to end rather messily for any of us. If you really think that your kind didn't do anything wrong than you will cooperate with us and allow my men to board your vessels so that-."

"No." Captain Braxton muttered, his fists clenching tightly as his eyes glared furiously at the image of the alien on the screen.

"No? Are you even thinking about this clearly?" The alien asks in disbelief "Your ships are outnumbered and from our scans, we detect that none of your ships possess any kind of shielding technology or weapons that can take us down in a fight."

"That is what you think bird brain." Captain Braxton sneered "We don't need guns to wipe you all out when we have this!"

Captain Braxton immediately pulled something out from his pocket and held it out towards the alien so that he can show it off to him.

The alien squinted his eyes to get a better look at what Captain Braxton is holding before he sighs in disbelief.

"A card? Seriously? A card? What are you going to do? Challenge my entire fleet to a little game?"

Captain Braxton smirked "No, I'm challenging your entire fleet to a duel."

The alien blinked in response as he tried to make sense of what Captain Braxton said.

"What?"

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

"What?" Captain Agonis said in response, with an expression of disbelief painted on his face along with a few noticeable hints of annoyance and irritation as the alien's strange antics are seriously starting to get on his nerves."Are you even taking this seriously? Your entire fleet will be crushed instantly if it tries to resist. Please, don't test my patience in this matter-"

The alien on their screen snorted at Captain Agonis' statement "Patience? So trying to take my entire fleet hostage was already patient enough? Geez, I wonder what you aliens really look like when you're really angry."

"Fine." Captain Agonis growled "If you want us to do this the hard way, then so be it. But don't say that I didn't warn you so."

The alien on their screen chuckled "Actually, I should be the one who should be saying that to you. However, right now, I would like to say two simple words to you."

"And what are those?" Captain Agonis sneered

"Let's… duel." The alien's image smirked in response before it completely cuts off communication

"Sir!" One of Captain Agonis' helmsmen shouted out as he tried to call his attention "I'm picking up massive spikes of energy coming from the aliens' ships! It seems they are preparing their weapons!"

"What? That's impossible." Captain Agonis stated "Their ships don't even have any visible main cannons or weapon turrets on them so how can they possibly have a massive energy reading?"

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"Sir, the Hokkaido's Duel Blades are now fully deployed, as are the SSV New Delhi's, Berlin's and Moscow's. We are all set and ready to duel!" The helmsman informed

"Good." Captain Braxton replied "Tell them all to simultaneously follow my lead so that we can show these aliens how humanity will kick their otherworldly asses back to their home planet."

"As you wish sir." The helmsman replied as Captain Braxton drew six additional cards from the deck placed on the armrest of his chair which has now turned transformed into its Duel Interface System mode, containing the card platforms for the Monster, Spell and Trap Zones.

Observing the cards he draw from his deck in his hand, Captain Braxton took one of the cards and slapped it quickly onto the Monster Zone.

"I summon Falchionβ!"

A strong burst of light briefly shone forth from the Hokkaido's twin Duel Blades and once that eventually died down, a strange new vessel suddenly appears out of nowhere at the Hokkaido's side.

(Falchionβ/LIGHT/Level 4/Machine/ATK 1200/DEF 800)

Slightly smaller in size than the ship it is standing next to; the new vessel was way sleeker in design when compared to the bulky exteriors of the frigates within the exploration ship while its appearance makes it resemble a sort of high speed military jet fighter from a bygone era of humanity.

"Now, I will set one card facedown before I'll end my turn." Captain Braxton said as he slid a card into a slot under the Monster Zone.

Once Captain Braxton ends his turn, the other three frigates within his fleet also followed suit and summoned a Falchionβ each into their own Monster Zones before ending their turns.

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

"Sir! I'm sensing something wrong here!" A helmsman informed Captain Agonis in alarm as he rapidly typed on his console "Four new enemy vessels have suddenly appeared out of nowhere from within the enemy fleet's ranks! All of them seemingly slightly below the size of a frigate sized ship!"

"What? Enemy reinforcements? Did they came from the Mass Relay?" Captain Agonis asked

"Negative sir!" The helmsman replied "There is also no signs that they arrived here via FTL. However, I'm detecting a very abnormal energy emission coming from the new ships that arrived. It appears to be a combination of both mass effect energy and the unknown type that the aliens are using but the large amount of energy they are emitting seems to be a lot more fitting and suited to a vessel of a much larger size, namely a large cruiser or a small dreadnaught."

"Are there any signs of any additional ships arriving to reinforce the aliens' numbers?" Captain Agonis asked

"No sir. There are no signs as of now about any new ships arriving to come to their aid." The helmsman answered

Though Captain Agonis felt a bit uneasy about the sudden arrival of the additional ships coming to reinforce the aliens' tiny fleet, once he heard the information that there is no sign of any additional ships that are arriving, he felt his worries ease up quite a bit since despite facing an unknown opponent, Captain Agonis is still pretty sure that his fleet currently has all of the advantages within the situation in terms of both numbers and firepower and there is also the fact that his fleet hasn't ever faced a single defeat within all the skirmishes it has ever encountered.

"Tell the fleet to only disable their vessels." Captain Agonis commanded "I want them only to target their main engines and thrusters and render them inoperative so that we can easily send several teams to board their vessels. Under no circumstances are we to kill every last one of these aliens. We are soldiers, not butchers and anyone who tries to disregard my order will be dealt with a swift punishment and court martial."

"As you wish Captain." The helmsman replied

A brief moment passed before Captain Agonis received the statements of affirmation from his entire fleet and once that happened, he made one simple command that would change the history of the entire galaxy.

"Fire."

Dozens of streaks of blue light flew from the ships of the Turian patrol fleet straight towards the vessels of the much tinier alien fleet.

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

Captain Braxton smirked widely as the aliens executed the action he guessed that they will be doing.

"Amateurs. Now! I activate my Trap card! Mirror Force!" Captain Braxton declared as activates the card he set down only moments earlier.

The blue streaks of light flew towards the ships of the exploration fleet but instead of impacting the vessels, the shots seemingly struck some kind of invisible barrier which absorbed every blow it received. The barrier then quickly concentrates the amount of energy it received from the shots into a single point in its center from which a gigantic beam of golden light shot forth and flew towards the ships within the alien fleet that attacked the human exploration fleet first, vaporizing half of them while slicing the rest of them cleanly in half like a hot knife through butter.

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

Alarms were blaring madly within the bridge of the Turian dreadnaught as Captain Agonis' officers were trying to assess the massive damages they received from the aliens' unexpected attack.

"Captain! This is tremendously bad!" A helmsman informed "We had lost about 99.99% of our entire fleet to the aliens' single attack!"

"WHAT?! That's impossible!" Captain Agonis exclaimed, his mouth gaping wide in disbelief "The entire spirits damned fleet?! How is that possible? The scans confirmed that they don't even have a main cannon equipped to their ships!"

"Sir, it appears to be that the aliens' ships possess some kind of advance shielding technology that allows them to reflect enemy shots back towards their opponent!" The helmsman shouted as he explained it to his commander "Just before our shots made contact with their ships, it seems they struck some sort of invisible barrier that absorbed the hits before throwing it all back to us with an increased force of up to 200%!"

"200%?!" Captain Agonis shouted "What kind of monsters are these people?!"

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"My turn again." Captain Braxton chuckled "Draw!"

Drawing a new card from the top of his deck, Captain Braxton took one quick glance at it and smiled.

"Now, I summon Gradius onto my field in attack mode!"

The Hokkaido's Duel Blades shine brightly once again and from that light, another fighter jet like craft emerged from out of nowhere to assist its fellow ships in combat.

(Gradius/LIGHT/Level 4/Machine/ATK 1200/DEF 800)

"After that, I'll activate the Equip Spell card, Cyclon Laser!" Captain Braxton continued as he entered another card into his Spell/Trap Zone and a bright light then briefly enveloped the summoned Gradius' exterior before eventually dissipating and revealing that the craft is now equipped with a pair of mean looking cannons that are constantly buzzing with numerous arcs of blue colored electricity.

"Using Cyclon Laser's effect, Gradius' attack power will now increase by over 300 points!" Captain Braxton declared

(Gradius/LIGHT/Level 4/Machine/ATK 1500/DEF 800)

"Now, it's time that we end this." Captain Braxton smirked "Gradius! Direct attack upon the opponent right now!"

The twin cannons equipped on the small craft's back glowed before it unleashed a devastating twin beam of blue energy and sent it rocketing towards the enemy's main flagship. The dual beams swiftly bypassed the vessel's kinetic barriers with ease before landing a damaging blow upon the front hull of the massive ship.

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

"Captain! I'm receiving massive damage reports coming from the front hull of the ship!" An officer frantically informed "The main cannon has been disabled by their attack and life support systems within the front hull are slowly fading due to the tremendous damaged it received! Kinetic barriers are also failing and they won't survive any further additional attacks!"

"Spirits…" Captain Agonis whispered, his voice filled with immense dread and horror at the unexpected turn of events "What kind of monsters have we come across to?"

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"I'm not yet done." Captain Braxton chuckled "Now Falchionβ, attack the opponent directly!"

The jet like craft complied with the captain's orders and starts rushing towards the enemy dreadnaught, launching a pair of large missiles that were placed underneath its wings and begins bombarding the massive ship with a series of large concentrated explosions.

-Onboard the Turian dreadnaught Palaven's Might-

The force of the explosions caused by the light alien craft caused the entire exterior of the Turian dreadnaught to rock violently, throwing off most of its crew off balance before it eventually subsides after a brief while.

"Sir! Damage to the entire ship has now a critical 51%!" The officer informed, crying out in alarm as multiple warning systems are beginning to blare out all over the bridge of the ship.

"We have to fall back!" Captain Agonis yelled to his entire crew "The Hierarchy must be warned about these dangerous species or else the entire galaxy might fall towards yet another disaster! Quickly! We must fall back!"

The Palaven's Might immediately made haste in its attempt to escape just as two more alien fighter crafts unleashed a pair of two missiles each on the Turian dreadnaught which heavily damaged it even further towards the point of breaking but miraculously, it held on and continues struggling to make its way towards the nearest other Mass Relay in order to warn the Turian Hierarchy and by extension, the Citadel Council about the devastating encounter they had experienced.

-Onboard the exploration ship SSV Hokkaido-

"Captain, the SSV Moscow is about to command its remaining Falchionβ to attack the fleeing vessel. Should the Moscow commence with its attack?" A communications officer asks

Captain Braxton begins musing in his decision "Hmm… nah. Tell the Moscow to stand down for the moment and avoid pursuit. We need to get back to Alliance high command and tell them about what happened."

"Captain, you do know that by refusing their orders and attacking them that we basically declared war on a recently discovered species right?" The Hokkaido's second-in-command asks

"Technically, they attacked us first." Captain Braxton insisted "We only sent their attack back towards them with double the force."

The second-in-command sighed "Riiight… as if that will be a good enough explanation to the top brass."
