Notes: Had this idea for a while and finally managed to start it in math class lol. Tittle is from my puppy white knight of Azeroth aka as Tyj 3 he helped me come up with so I promised to give cradit to him hehe. Anyways lets go on with the show.

Disclamer: Everything belongs to SE. Well except for my OCs.

Chapter 1

The Sireen was on course to the planet Daci, the crew in the ship were tired and tried to fix what ever it was broken to be able to space jump again. They were still being followed by the Sanctum and needed to be ready to do the next jump.

Commander Adin was in the Central room formulating a counter attack against Sanctum. He was looking an holographic map that was displayed in the middle of the large room. Adin knew that they were at a disadvantage and he was trying to make a battle plan that will help them survive.

Quick steps echoed in the Central Command room as the Lieutenant arrived "Sir we have to jump now. They tracked us and are right behind us". The pink haired Lieutenant got closer to where the hologram was displaying information and coordinates, resting one hand on her hip she stared at the giant map in front of her.

"Farron, I'm glad to see you, we cannot jump now. Engine is overworked, we'll have enough power in twenty minutes." The commander said staring at the holographic map and jotting down numbers on his paper map that sat on the desk.

"Twenty minutes? Sir that will be too late..." Lightning had a stern concern look on her face turning it into a frown. She walked next to the commander and and stared at the maps in front of her. Different colors were signaling different paths and the current curse of the ship.

"I'm aware of that Lieutenant, we are currently on a course that will place us close to Vexar." He pointed to the little dot in the hologram. "They are allied with us, but still respond to the Sanctum protocol. We need to send escape pods there and lay low. Sergeant Estheim arrange the evacuation maneuvers. Sergeant Katzroy prepare all the escape pods we have. Farron come with me." The commander issued the orders while the men nodded in agreement. The Commander walked by Lightning and she followed him to a private room.

"Look Farron I need you to take the survivors into the base in Vexar, talk to General Roy and explain the situation. I'll keep trying to contact him but I think Sanctum is blocking the signal out. Once there I need you to call the NEES, they are a transport vessel, it should be big enough to take all of you to Daci." Adin said as he sat down behind his desk. He gave Lighting a look that she understood all too well.

"Sir, you mean all of US, you are coming too" She replied to the Commander. She had seen that look before, and all she wanted to do was to forget about it. She was so familiar on to what it meant, she was going to be protected again at the cost of someone else's life and she was not going to allow it.

"You are going to need a distraction, Sanctum cannot get us all. Besides if they realize what we are trying to do, not only will we go down but we will be putting Vexar at risk too."

"But sir we need you, and how on Etro's name are you going to manage to distract the Sanctum by yourself?" Lightning was not going to let him do all of this on his own.

"Light..." he sighed "no one else is staying here but me, and that is an order. The reason why I asked Katzroy to prepare all of the pods was to use the ones we are not going to use as dummies. We'll launch them into different trajectories and let them chase a few down. It will be completely obvious that they'll be empty, which we'll then launch the occupied ones to Vexar, and change the course of Sireen to the opposite direction" The Commander explained the plan to Light as he was writing something on a piece of paper.

"... and then Sanctum follows you and tries to take you out …" she placed her fingers on the bridge of her nose, trying with no avail to think of a better plan. With a frustrated sigh she ran her hand through her pink hair, there was no other option and time was running out.

"Maybe I'll get lucky and get enough time for a jump, but that should take their eyes from you." He folded the paper he was writing on and placed it into an envelope sealing it. He handed it to Lightning taking her hand into his noticing how small and fragile it felt. "I want you to give this to general Roy." He tightened the grip a little and then let her hand go. He then moved his hand up to his coat and fumbled with his Commander pin until he managed to take it off.

"Sir?" Lightning's voice came just above a whisper, all she could do was staring at him.

Well please R&R I would love to know what people think. Coments, Ideas, flames, jokes are welcome. I'll try and finish next chapter as soon as I can but no promises since finals are close and got lots to do.
