In a night void of starlight, the hunt was exhilarating, excitement coursing through the blood of hunters even as their ship dulled the sensation of acceleration, pulses pounding with the sure confidence of a hunt that could end only in success.
The smaller ship banked to dodge its pursuers, a swift but expected tactic that merely served to delay the inevitable as the larger ship launched another barrage powerful enough to cripple a ship three times the size of their quarry. The small ship was even more agile than it appeared, executing a peculiar rolling maneuver to avoid the energy discharge, followed by a rapid change to a course perpendicular to that of the hunters, who adjusted accordingly and fired once more, this time with less power, testing the defenses of their prey. The ship's shielding was negligible and even a low intensity shot did a lot of damage.
The hunters could not help but admire the determined audacity of their prey as the pursuit dragged on, admiration turning to confusion as the ship known as the Flyer by its passengers seemed to accelerate far faster than it should have been able to in its crippled state. A strange glow emanated from the Flyer as the ship angled itself upward in respect to its former course and moved backwards over the top of the hunter's ship rapidly. The glow increased in intensity and the ship seemed to explode in a blaze of green and purple light.
