Chapter One
"Sir, some kind of alien pod has just broken that planet's atmosphere, heading away from us." Lisa reported.
"Interesting. Well, it appears the residents of this planet have space travel capability. We may be able to get help after all." commented Gloval.
Gloval smiled as he realized the past few days had been almost nothing but good news. They had found this planet, the citizens of Macross City had been recovered and were leading as close to normal lives as possible, and Dr. Lang's teams had been at work day and night. Following the initial firing of the main gun during the alien invasion, the earthlings were unable to fire their primary weapon again. Lang's teams had come up with a way to reconfigure the ship, allowing the cannon to be fired. Unfortunately, the entire ship had to go through a stage of mechamorphosis in order to do this. It now resembled a giant robotic knight floating through space.
Lang's teams had also been able to come up with a small but effective barrier system, which they call the pin point barrier system. When used, 3 small balls of energy used for shielding were formed around the ship. Mobile, the bridge was able to move these balls to quickly deflect enemy attacks.
His thoughts were interrupted by Claudia Grant, another member of the bridge personnel.
"Sir, the SDF-1 has been scanned by the planet below. I also detect several small beings currently moving into the atmosphere. The formation suggests they may be preparing for an attack."
"Hmm....they may fear we are a threat to them, is there any way we can establish communications with them?"
"No sir, I'm afraid not."
"Very well, establish orbit and have 2 squadrons fly patrol around the ship until we can talk with them."
**********************************************************************************
"My liege, the ship is one that we have never seen before. It is currently present in our orbit. We have several of the Elite warriors standing by ready to attack at your command."
King Vegeta pondered the situation. The scans had come back with inconclusive to the nature of the beings onboard the ship, but use of the scouters had read nothing higher than 12 for the strongest being. The ship itself was a monstrosity. It resembled a giant robot of some kind.
"I want 10 members of the elite to attack. If the energy from the scouter is correct we should have no problems."
"Yes my lord." The aide ran to carry out his King's orders.
Within moments the warriors were ready. Each bursting into a blue aura of energy flames, they streaked toward space.
**********************************************************************************
Lisa said, "Captain, ten bogeys are closing in fast."
"Order patrol squadrons to intercept immediately! Lisa, I want a recon ship out as well so we can see what these beings look like." Gloval commanded.
The Veritechs streaked along the ship's surface as they moved to intercept. Not sure what to expect but confident in their own abilities, the planes sat and waited.
They didn't have to wait long. The ten beings appeared abruptly and stopped, examining the planes.
The cat's eye recon plane fed images back to the SDF-1. The bridge gasped in shock as the beings appeared to be...human.
"Humanoid beings that can fly. Warn the veritech squadrons to be careful. I don't like this. Also, tell Fokker to get out there with the Skulls. I want our best out there in case they are more capable that first glance."
**********************************************************************************
The leader of the Saiyajin battle group touched a button on his scouter to report to his king. "My king, it appears that the ship's crew are weak. They are strictly using ships, and I still get no reading higher than 12 for power."
King Vegeta nodded to himself. "Very well, attack!"
The Saiyajin smiled, itching for a fight.
"Attack immediately!" He commanded.
The group swarmed and flew at the Veritechs. Quickly summoning their power, they immediately began tossing energy blasts at the planes, who instictievely juked and dodged through the blasts. One of the Veritechs wasn't as fortunate, catching a blast head on that completely destroyed it.
"What's up guys?" A voice flared through the lead pilot's intercom.
Jensen smiled, "Commander, glad to see you, these guys are insane. They've dodged everything we've thrown at them!"
"Switch to battloid mode. Let's see how well they do against a chain gun."
Fokker quickly thought his fighter through mechamorphosis to battloid mode. His fighter reconfigured, transforming into a Robotech knight, the chain gun landing neatly in his hands as he turned and fired with blazing fury at the nearest of the aliens. The Saiyajin, confused by the display, was torn apart by the fiercesome rounds, powered with high forces of kinetic energy.
The rest of the Veritechs followed suit, and within moments the rest of the attacking force was destroyed. One survivor angrily shook his fist at the force, seeing he was overwhelmed. He quickly burst into blue energy flames and flew back towards the planet.
"Good work guys, let's head back to base, I don't think this battle is over by a long shot." Fokker commented.
The battleoids reconfigured to fighter mode and quickly flew back to the SDF-1.
**********************************************************************************
"So you're saying these beings looked human?" Gloval asked Roy.
"Yes sir, only humans that can fly very fast and fire some kind of energy blasts from their hands. We lost one fighter, but were able to destroy all but one of the attackers. The survivor flew back to his planet, undoubtedly to report about us. He was able to ignite himself into some kind of energy flame, which made him fly that much faster."
"Amazing. I wonder how they're able to do such things. I have, however heard of this kind of thing before. There was a young man a few years(in our time) back that demonstrated similar techniques at the Tenkaichi Budokai. I believe his name was Son Goku." Gloval responded.
"I've heard of a few extraordinary humans able to occasionally shoot energy from their bodies. I believe they called it 'KI.' But, I've never seen anything as powerful as these beings." Added Fokker.
"Well, we defeated their attacking force, so they must be planning something. I still wish to establish communications if possible. I don't want to start another war when the Earth still lies in peril." said Gloval.
"Agreed." said Fokker.
**********************************************************************************
"These ships were able to destroy nine warriors of the Elite class?!" Vegeta demanded.
"Y...Yes, my liege. They were overly powerful. We were able to destroy one, but they adapted to our tactics quickly." replied the warrior, his voice meek.
"Weakling.....join your brethren in death!!" That said, Vegeta fired an energy blast that destroyed the warrior.
"I want all warriors assembled outside of the palace. They will undoubtedly come to us to attack now. I want everyone to be ready." Vegeta announced.
"Understood my liege, but why outside the palace?" asked an aide.
"Do you question your King's authority? I want them outside because they will be going oozaru when the ships come here." Vegeta replied.
