Cosmic Divine Crystalline
Episode XII: The Cosmic Divine War
The Gorgon family ended their shore leave and are discussing plans with the Alliance on how to destroy Star Cerberus Empire once and for all. However, they have new intel there is a Star Cerberus invasion fleet headed to the planet Hydaelyn to gather unknown resource for whatever future projects they may have in store.
The Illusive Man and his Empire have nearly completed their conquest for finding the gateway to the Cosmic Divine Crystalline, an unknown force of power that is capable of shifting the universe to anyone's will. Currently, Star Cerberus is dealing with pockets of resistance on the planet of Earth where the gateway is known to be.
The Alliance has sent the Gorgon Family and several of their allied forces to stop the invasion fleet of Star Cerberus from taking over the planet Hydaelyn and its native humanoid species that live there.
Chapter 1:
The Gorgon flagship, a Centurion Dreadnought looms in space with an Azure Kingdom Battlecruiser beside it, three starfighters come out of the Centurion soaring in space together. Soaring over another Azure Kingdom Battlecruiser. The starfighters spun and went down under it and toward a major battle of Azure Kingdom Battlecruisers and Telos Battlecruisers engaged with Star Cerberus Battlecruisers and Transports. All ships scattered in orbit fighting each other.
In the cockpit of the middle starfighter was Serenity. Beside her were Mangle and Tomoko in their starfighters soaring passed the laser fire and missiles between ships headed toward the Star Cerberus Dreadnought in the distance surrounded by smaller Star Cerberus frigates and starfighters.
Azure Kingdom starfighter support moved behind Serenity and her sisters soaring with them, some having bombers flying along in the back.
"This is where the fun begins." Serenity said with a smirk.
All starfighters locked onto the enemy starfighters and the bombers kept locked on to the vital parts of the dreadnought. The girls in front of them with their shields on absorbing incoming blaster fire coming toward them.
"Shields will soon fail." Tomoko reminded them.
"Bomber squadron, stay behind us. All fighters engage and we will handle the frigate coming toward us. Bombers keep with us and keep your shields up. Do not be brave and go at it alone, we will knock that ship out." Serenity told them on the com.
"Alright, but our trigger fingers are getting itchy." The bomber leader said with his bomber squadron getting into a line position behind the Gorgons starfighters while the other starfighters spread out to engage the enemy starfighters coming at them.
The girls flew right at the incoming frigate beginning to fire at it.
"Mangle! Rockets on the next turn!" Serenity said.
"Yeah yeah." Mangle said annoyed and as she turned she locked onto the back of the frigate and fired two proton's right into the back of the engines making the back of the frigate explode and begin to decent toward the planet.
"Got it!" Mangle shouted.
"Good! Bombers you're clear!" She said to them and flew with them as an escort firing at incoming missiles from the dreadnought launched at them before they hit the bombers.
Inside the dreadnought was a Star Cerberus captain grumbling and walking to one of the deck officers. "Why aren't we able to destroy those fighters!" He yelled.
"Sir they are too small for our targeting computers to lock on!" He said to him.
"Just fire randomly then! Do something anything!" The captain yelled.
They did just that, however, they began to blast their own frigates that came from behind the squadron for a surprise attack destroying them instead and still missing the squadron and the girls.
"Uhm..." The deck officer said rubbing his sweaty forehead.
"Fuck!" The captain yelled stomping on the floor.
"Maybe they will miss us, sir?" The deck officer said nervously.
Suddenly the bombers began to bombard the ships hull and the shields absorbing but suddenly with enough bombardment the shields on the entire ship went out and one bomber flew right over the bridge dropping a single bomb, and exploding the bridge and causing the dreadnought to explode from the inside out and bursting soon after with debris everywhere.
"We got them." Serenity said nodding with a grin and the girls and bombers flew together toward other ships to engage to destroy.
Inside on the bridge of a Star Cerberus Battlecruiser, it's captain seen the loss of their invasion fleets and looked at one of his technicians.
"How many landing ships got onto the planet?" He asked.
"Uh... none sir." The technician replied looking at the data screen.
The captain of that ship just sighed seeing how many ships they were loosing and now down to only nine battlecruisers left and three frigates.
"Retreat, we are heading back to Earth." He ordered all other vessels.
All of the battlecruisers and frigates turned and launched into hyperspeed leaving the planet they were to invade, alone.
"Yeah run bitch!" Mangle shouted seeing them leave.
"Alright, lets head back everyone! Our squadron will head down to the planet to see if everyone is okay!" Serenity said in the coms.
The Centurion remained in orbit waiting for the girls and their squadron from the Azure Kingdom to come back.
On the planet, the girls landed nearby a city called Ishgard and approached their gates to be greeted by knights of the Eleven species. Tall human looking beings with big pointy ears.
"I thank you for providing our planet safety. I guess they heard of our negotiations with your Alliance that some of us on our world will help in the war. We do not, however, have any spaceships but good strong warriors." The Leader of Ishgard said to Serenity.
Behind her was Mangle and Tomoko and the squadron tending to their starfighters repairing them.
"You are most welcome. Our ship is near empty to bring in you and your allies of this world to our ship." Serenity said typing on her holocom to send word to bring down shuttles to certain area's on the planet given to them earlier from the Alliance Command.
"I am afraid I must stay here or I would gladly go with you miss Gorgon." The Ishgard leader said to her taking a polite bow as she did as well back.
"That is fine." She said to him.
"In my place, I will have Haurchefant go with you." He said looking at an Eleven who walked up looking down at Serenity and bowed to her.
"It is an honor to finally meet the famous Serenity." Haurchefant told her and stood back up.
Serenity looked at him and smiled turning her head away. "I wouldn't say I'm that famous." She said chuckling.
"I like your smile, it suits you." He said to her.
"Yeah yeah, we can smile all we want later dudes." Mangle said walking up.
"Alright, let's go, everyone. Sheesh." Mangle then replied walking off to her starfighter and Tomoko and Serenity just sighed.
"Is she, always like that?" Haurchefant said walking with them noticing shuttles in the sky coming toward their location. He beckoned to the volunteers of their city and they walked up to the incoming shuttles to where they were going to land.
"You have no idea." Serenity replied after he beckoned.
"I hope I will be of good assistance to you." Haurchefant said to her and nodded walking with his species.
Serenity tilted her head looking at him.
"So. You like him?" Mangle asked poking Serenity's butt.
"Ah! Stop that. And no, no not at all not like that." Serenity said glaring at her.
"Dude one day you're going to have to fall in love like many of the hero's do. Since they think your a hero and all." Mangle said shrugging.
"Your the one who's engaged." Serenity reminded her.
"True, I guess that means I'm no longer Asexual. That and I had sex three times so." Mangle said climbing into her starfighter.
"Gee, is that some sort of record?" Serenity asked climbing into her starfighter.
"No, but it means I got laid than the rest of you." Mangle said putting on her helmet.
"Umbreon and Sam have been together for over a year or so. I'm sure they got laid." Serenity said typing on her console preparing her starfighter.
Mangle just mumbled something and stuck her tongue out. "At least I no longer need to use a toy like you do." Mangle said and her space screen shut and she began to soar up first.
Serenity mouth dropped wanting to scream something nasty at her couldn't. "Fucking Mangle." Serenity said sighing.
The girls and the Azure squadron hovered up and then went toward the sky into space with the shuttles guiding them to the Centurion.
Back at Earth, the Illusive Man, Kai Leng, Colress, General Hux, Pendrak Thrax, Ardyn, Urashiki, Matagi, Scarlet, Elsa Granhiert, and Adam sat at a long table with Star Cerberus Inquisitors around the room guarding.
Pendrak hailing from the middle east specialized in poisons and Anthrax toxins. Scarlet owning her own bounty hunting business across Earth and known now to be the Shadow Broker. Elsa Granhiert in charge of the prison camps and torture cages for the civilians of earth that do not bow to the Empire.
The Illusive Man took a sip of his bourbon and tapped the counter. "Reports say that the twelfth fleet had to retreat. I am having all our fleets come here to Earth. We know the Alliance is planning to attack us to stop us from undigging the gateway."
"So we found the gateway then?" Colress asked.
"Yes, it was buried in Rome and our excavation teams are nearly complete in digging it out. Our scientists have the equipment ready to activate it." The Illusive Man said.
Ardyn clapped making everyone look at him.
"Well done! I just think however we should have even ground forces on planet just incase they manage to get past our blockade, don't you think?" Ardyn said to him.
The Illusive Man looked at him for a moment and nodded. "Right, you are right. Then we will bring over soldiers from our controlled worlds and bring half of them here to be on the ground." The Illusive Man said.
"What of the clone army of Serenity's? Are they prepared to attack?" Scarlet asked Colress.
Colress took a sip of coffee and sat it down crossing his fingers. "They are ready but still we haven't tested their capabilities with swarms of enemies. However, that will not be a problem I am confident they can handle battle situations." He told her.
"What about toxins?" Pendrak asked kicking his feet up onto the table leaned back in the chair making the Illusive Man frown at him.
"They can breath in poisons but not for an hour if that is what you are asking." Colress said. "Everything has a weakness but if the enemy doesn't know their weakness' then we are fine. They have a small microchip in the back of their necks inside connected to the bone. If that goes out, they die instantly." He said to them.
"Why the microchip?" Adam asked.
"It is to keep their cybernetics working properly and their brains to function." Colress said to them.
"Hmmhmm..." Elsa said chucking to herself putting her sleeve up to her mouth.
"And what is that about?" Pendrak asked frowning at her.
"Nothing, I just hope no one betrays us and says the weakness out right." She remarked opening her eyes slowly glaring at Colress.
Colress just glared back crossing his arms.
"I do hope that was a joke." The Illusive Man said.
"It was and wasn't. I just am saying, we can't be too careful." She remarked and then closed her eyes again.
Urashiki stood up stretching.
"The meeting isn't over yet." The Illusive Man said.
"I know, I just got to stand up for a moment. Keep talking." He remarked putting his arms around the chair looking at them with a grin.
"So we have an agreement. We shall prepare for the upcoming invasion then?" Kai Leng asked.
"Yes. I think we are all on board." Adam replied looking to the others as everyone else nodded.
The Illusive Man took another sip and looked to his left at Matagi. "Is the weapon ready?" He asked not telling anyone in the room what it was.
Matagi just nodded not saying a word.
"I hate how this thing is quiet!" Pendrak replied.
Matagi just gave him a stare. "I don't speak a lot." She said softly.
"Why are we even having this Gorgon here? Whats so special about this thing!" Pendrak said and suddenly felt as if he lost his breath and Scarlet just smirked waving her hand at him.
"You done?" She asked.
Pendrak slowly nodded and she released his throat with seemingly a force choking ability.
"She didn't fail me out of the lost daughters of Drayconivous. She was the most loyal and most dangerous. I know her backstory and this makes her strong, strong to change the human race once and for all." The Illusive Man said to them.
"Aren't we all human here?" Scarlet asked him.
"We are, but we can improve- evolve." The Illusive Man told her.
"Evolution could have its draw backs." Ardyn warned tipping his head down.
"Indeed. It is why we are going to use the Cosmic Divine Crystalline to do this. And then nothing will stop us from our rule." The Illusive Man told them.
"Hux." The Illusive Man said.
"Sir?" Hux asked.
"Prepare your speech to our Empire. It's time we boost their confidence so they have no doubt while fighting our enemies." The Illusive Man said to him.
General Hux nodded to him. "Of course sir." He said.
Everyone then stood up as the Illusive Man did.
"Dismissed." The Illusive Man said and walked off first and everyone else next.
Adam, however, remained standing in the room and thought over Serenity.
"Problem?" Ardyn asked him approaching him.
"Nothing." Adam said.
"Ah, but it is something. Let me guess, you are thinking of miss Serenity are you not?" Ardyn asked with a grin on his face.
Adam just frowned at him. "Not in that way if you are thinking of that way." Adam replied.
"Ah! I wasn't, but you did bring it up first so now I can only assume." Ardyn chuckled patting his shoulder.
"You are a strong boy, and well talented in your abilities. Your rival is Serenity who is, in fact, a girl and you a boy." Ardyn told him.
"A man, not a boy." Adam said.
"I meant no offense, you are just a lot younger than me is all." Ardyn said reaching onto the table grabbing his hat and putting it on.
"If you are thinking of miss Serenity however in a way of curiosity in the manner you thought I thought, perhaps you should not fight her and instead get to know her." Ardyn said to him.
"An enemy!?" Adam remarked in shock. "She is weak! I can destroy her! I do not want to even think about flirting!" Adam said making a fist.
"That mask over your eyes doesn't hide the blush on your face." Ardyn replied making Adam freeze at that moment.
Ardyn then turned around raising his hand up. "Come on, get your mind off of it. We have work to do." He said walking off.
Adam took a moment and sighed and grabbed his weapon nearby and hooked it onto his belt walking behind Ardyn.
At Rome, the excavation teams and scientists are nearly done unearthing the ancient gateway. But nearby in the distance at the mountain rage standing on a cliff was two unknown figures one wearing black and the other white, both outfits identical and same with their masks on their faces. Both were slender women looking at the excavation.
"Interesting isn't it." The one woman said in the white.
"It's been so long." The one in black said to the other.
The one in black was holding an odd looking book that was old looking and worn on the cover.
Back at the Gorgon Flagship, they were in hyperspace heading back to the Alliance fleet that was stationed orbiting the planet Palaven, the Turian homeworld. Once they reached the planet they headed toward the large space station where other ships were floating or moving around getting refueled by smaller vessels.
"Docking now." Maya said in the intercom to the station they were ready to board.
"So are you ready to meet some aliens?" Serenity asked Haurchefant who just laughed.
"You forget we had many of your visitors to our homeworld and some stayed. It won't be any different from what I see here." He told her.
"So I got a question for you." Tomoko asked him and Haurchefant gave her a nod.
Tomoko seeing his nod continued to speak. "Are you our bodyguard or something?"
Haurchefant just gave her a smirk cocking his eyebrow up.
"We have heard of miss Serenity here and her heroic deeds and such. Our leader wanted me to stay beside her and help any way I could, but I would do it regardless. I read of her and your family and what little history I could gather. You are good people trying to survive from such an awful curse you have. I don't see you as anything but friends." He said and smiled at Serenity. "My lady." He said to her.
Serenity looked at him and looked away chuckling softly.
Tomoko seeing this cocked her own eyebrow and shook her head. "Well come on, I'm sure the Alliance wishes to speak to you since your filling in for your leader." Tomoko said.
The three of them headed toward the airlock to head to the station.
Mangle walked behind them carrying a bomb to which Lopunny ran up and stopped her.
"No!" She yelled at her.
"Shut up bitch." Mangle said as she kept walking.
Soon Lopunny tried to grab the bomb from her making both sisters scream at each other.
"Girls." Umbreon said holding a blaster pistol at Mangle who had to give the bomb to Lopunny.
"You ruin all the fun you know." Mangle said shaking her head walking off and Umbreon and Lopunny looked at one another with a huff.
"She's going to be the death of us one day." Lopunny said.
"Let's not say that. Jinxes could be real." Umbreon replied.
