The gathering of Lost Kin (Part 1)
Enterprises' main flight deck
"Valkyrie squadrons Alpha, Beta, Delta and Zeta have launched sir and have taken up defensive positions" Ensign Yagami reported.
"Good, have the next 5 squadrons also take of defensive positions as well" Captain Kurosaki orders before turn to his commander, "Dana I want you to suit up and take the Wild-Aces over to help defend those civilian ships." He told his first officer who also happened to be the leader of the Wild-Aces squadron (a special squadron made of VF-25 Messiahs, the latest model. Although considered one squadron the Wild-Aces are really made up 4 standard squadrons: the Spades, the Clubs, the Hearts and the Diamonds).
"Understood Sir" Commander Jenius replied before saluting to him and heading for the bridges exit.
"Sir all VF-171EX squadrons are equipped with super packs and are ready for launch" the communications officer told the Captain.
"Very good" the captain responded.
Combat zone between the Colonial and Cylon fleets
"Not that I mind but where the frak are those raiders going?" asked Captain Marc 'Impact' Gale as he saw about 150 cylon raiders move away from him and the other vipers defending the small fleet.
"Good question sir" responded his friend and wingman Dell 'Woofer' Leon. Their job was hard enough; keep the cylon away from the fleet long enough for all the ships to make their jumps and to have those toasters try new tactics didn't make things any easier.
Enterprise Wild-Aces landing bay
"We're going to come hard and fast, the defenders may fire on you but don't retaliate; we are only to engage the fighter group from the second fleet. Now any questions?" Commander Jenius asked her pilots as they stood between several of the VF-25 fighters.
"Yeah I have one sir, do any of those fighters transform like ours?" asked one pilot.
"From what we've seen of them no they don't" she answered, "Anything elseā¦.Good, Wild-Aces move out!" Dana orders. The whole squadron scrambled at the order into their fighters. In a few minutes the whole squadron was ready to launch.
"This is Spade-leader to launch control, Wild-Aces are ready to launch" Dana told the launch controller.
Enterprises' Bridge
"Sir Launch control reports Wild-Aces squadron ready for launch" The communications officer reported.
"Good to hear, have standby until our defence force engage the incoming fighters" the captain ordered.
Ares CIC
"Whoever they are they don't have enough coverage to face those raiders" commented Colonel Rowley as she an the commander looked over the new signals that had shown up on DRADIS several minutes ago after 150 cylon raiders had changed course towards the first unknown signal. In addition to the first signal there were now 108 new signals(fighters of some kind most likely) but that still left them short by about 42 ships and the cylon were only minutes away from engaging them.
Enterprises' Bridge
"Sir the incoming fighters are now within range sir" Ensign Yagami reported.
"Good" Captain Kurosaki told the young man before turn to the communication officer, "Put me through to all pilots" he ordered.
From within the defensive force in front of the Enterprise
"Ugly little guys aren't they" Lieutenant Mike Strong told his wingman before the captains voice came through over the com-channel.
"All fighters, fire at will" the captain ordered.
"Time to show these jokers who they are dealing with" Strong said to himself as he launched his first salvo of long range missiles. In a split-second the space in front of the many VF-171EX Nightmare Pluses was filled with hundreds if not thousands of missiles headed for the incoming group of cylon raiders; which tried to shoot down and out manoeuvre the incoming missiles (a few tried to infiltrate the missiles' guidance systems but abandoned after realizing that doing so would take too long and would only disable a few of them). In almost an instant the raider group was engulfed in explosion after explosion as the missiles hit their targets.
Ares CIC
"What just happened?" the commander asked as he looked at the destruction displayed on DRADIS.
"Some kind of guided ballistic missile designed for space maybe" came the response for Col. Rowley as she watched another group of raiders (this time about half of the remaining group) change course and head full speed towards the unknown ship.
"Sir several new signals have appeared, about 48 signals total heading at high speed on an intercept course with the raider group" reported the DRADIS officer.
"48 fighters against 225 raiders?" asked the Colonel thinking that it was one thing to catch raiders by surprise but now they knew about these fighters weapon capabilities.
"We have incoming Spade-leader" 2nd Lieutenant Max Carter told Commander Jenius as the squadron made their way to help the besieged fleet.
"Copy that Spade-4; Diamond group fly ahead and punch the rest of the squadron a hole through those fighters, understood" She ordered.
"Copy that Spade-leader; Alright then Diamond group prepare to intercept incoming fighters" responded Commander Alex Coles (Diamond-leader). As Diamond group pulled ahead, the Enterprise turned toward the incoming fighters.
"I want to give the Wild Aces as much cover as we can over" the captain told his chief weapon officer.
"Understood sir; We have 4 laser turrets locked in on the incoming fighters now, just give the order and the Aces will get quiet the light show" the weapons officer answered.
"Then by all means fire a will" the captain ordered. Meanwhile down in a storage hanger in the landing bay, a young man was running the start up procedures for a red and yellow VF-25 his was currently sitting in.
"Come on buddy the battle will be over by the time we've launched!" he pleaded to the machine. Back in space the Enterprise fried 4 blazing lasers at the incoming raiders, hitting the group on the left and right sides of the group leaving the ones left in the center for Diamond group.
"All right boys, lets show these guys what Valkyries can do, all units switch to battroid to engage the enemy" Coles ordered as his VF-25 transformed from a fighter to a robot and began taking out raiders. The raiders didn't know how to respond to the current situation; instead of fighters they were now fighting what to them seemed like giant white Centurions and fought in a way that confounded the raiders (having never been programmed to fight such machines).
"I guess these things have never seen battroids before" one pilot said before he was engulfed in a nuclear fire ball (one of the raiders had detonated it nuclear payload taking it and several raiders and valkyries with it).
"Dame it! All pilots look out, these little buggers are armed with nukes, we just lost Diamond 4 5 and 9" Coles shouted over the com-channel as his Diamond group spread themselves out try to keep as much distance between them and the raiders but still close enough for the valkyries to fire on them. The change in distance meant that the other raiders wouldn't be able to try the same tactic since the enemy fighters would be able too fly out of range once their scanners picked up the nuclear signal of the missiles.
"Okay, all units we going to fly under the engagement and straight to that fleet understood" Commander Jenius told her squadron.
"Yes sir!" everyone responded. With the raiders busy with Diamond group and the Enterprise's laser blasts the raiders weren't able to intercept the VF-25s that flew well under the engagement zone. From the CIC aboard the Ares Commander Riviera stared at the DRADIS screen.
"What in the name of the gods just happened?" the commander asked.
"I'm not sure sir but it looks like whoever they are; their helping us and have the Cylons off balance, and that new group appears to be on course to back up our vipers. To be able to reach such speeds, it's beyond anything we or the cylons have" Col. Rowley answered.
Enterprise launch deck
The officer in charge of to launch control wasn't quiet sure what to make of what he saw; on the launch deck was what looked like a VF-25 painted red with yellow stripes followed by a VF-171EX painted green (and with a modified cockpit allowing for an EX-gear equipped passenger behind the pilot) both had an emblem below their cockpits which he didn't recognise (it at first looked like a normal New UN Spacey logo but inside the white portion was the name Sound Force with several notes below it) and both had super packs that looked like sound systems. For the last few minutes they had be trying to get clearance to launch but as of yet the head officer hadn't given it.
"Look your ID codes don't show up in the system so I can't let you launch without the captain's direct permission first so you'll just have to hold on" the officer told the VF-25 pilot.
"Ah come on man" came the response from the VF-25 pilot.
"I told you dude" The pilot of the green nightmare plus told his friend. Back on the bridge the captain had just been informed of the situation.
"Well if those musicians want to get themselves killed let them, they can launch" The captain ordered. He then sighed as he realized what he had said; Captain Kurosaki didn't have anything against the sound force pilots and having fought in space war 1 knew what kind of power music had and but they weren't facing a Zentradi fleet, they were facing an unknown force who had made attempt after attempt to hack the ships critical systems and to launch a team that could only be described as a cheap copy of Macross 7's Fire Bomber against an enemy that might not be effected by a culture shock seemed stupid. "(But who knows, that kid in that V-25, lighting might just hit a third time)" he thought before saying, "Wait give me launch control" he ordered "This is the captain, Sound force you have a go for launch" The captain spoke over the deck PA.
"About time, Sound Force 12 ready for launch" shouted SFP Sai Silver from his VF-25. Both he and his fellow sound force pilots Mark King and Jamie Knight in the VF-171EX launched from the Enterprise, Sai already playing a tune on his guitar control stick (Dynamite Explosion).
"Okay Sai we'll try to avoid the major combat zones and head for the three big ships, hit a few numbers and see what happens okay" Mark told him.
"Okay and don't worry, I know we'll do it" Sai answered.
"Do what man?" asked Jamie
"Not sure but I know we'll do it" he responded and then started singing, "Once I start singing the beat shakes my thoughts Misplaced some time, some place, for some reason" as they headed for the colonial fleet and the three basestars ahead of them.
Combat zone between the Colonial and Cylon fleets
"Who the frak are these guys" one viper pilot shouted over the com-line as he watched the new white fighters who just came out of nowhere and started flying circles around the raiders.
"Not sure but I wouldn't mind trading up for one of them" another viper pilot said.
"Cut the chatter, are you all just going to float there or are you going to blast some toasters!" shouted the Ares CAG Captain Mary 'Blazer' Dames. Soon the vipers were back into the fray fighting along side these strange new fighters. As Blazer was coming up behind one of the new fighters a stray raider managed to get the drop on it. "No you don't toaster!" she screamed as her viper fired up passed the fighter and let loose her viper's payload.
"Wow! That's some gutsy flying, uh oh!" shouted valkyrie pilot 2nd Lieutenant Ken Mitchell who had just been saved by her, he saw that while the viper had hit the raider it was moving too fast and couldn't avoid the wreckage. "Hold oh" he said as he switched into battroid mode and manoeuvred to stop the damaged fighter. From within her cockpit Blazer wasn't quiet sure what was happening, after some of the raider wreckage clipped two of her viper's engines sending her into a dangerous spin only to have to stop abruptly.
"Holy frak!" she screamed as she found that her viper had been stopped by what she could describe as a giant cylon (although she never heard of white cylon with red and black stripes before). She then found that they were moving away from the combat zone as the Ares CIC contacted her.
"Come in Blazer, this Ares Actual DRADIS shows you moving away from engagement zone, what happened?" Commander Riviera asked from the Ares CIC.
"Cylon shrapnel took out two of my engines Commander. I had just saved the rear of one of those new fighters when it happened. I was put into a spin when something stopped me." She explained while trying to control herself (her finger was an inch away from her weapon trigger).
"Something stopped you?" the commander asked.
"Yeah and it still has me; it looks like a giant cylon but it's the same color as those fighters" she told him.
"What!" the commander exclaimed.
"Hold on some things happening" she told him as the Valkyrie shifted from battroid to gerwalk mode. "By the gods" she said in almost a whisper.
"Blazer what's happening?" the commander asked over the com-line.
"The cylon-like robot just changed, sir it is one of the new fighters, it's in some kind of hybrid mode it still has arms and legs but the frontal area has changed by into the fighter mode" She explained as the Valkyrie moved closer and she could get a clear view inside the cockpit. "Sir I can make out the cockpit, the pilot is waving at me" she said over the com-line.
"What does the pilot look like Captain?" the commander asked.
"Human sir, the pilot appears human" she answered just as a red blur zoomed past her and the something weird started coming from her com-line.
"Dynamite Dynamite Dynamite explosion once again Dynamite Dynamite Dynamite explosion once again Dynamite Dynamite Dynamite explosion once again Dynamite Dynamite Everyday everynight everywhere"
