Darkhydra
"You know what," I said, staring at the enemy ships in distaste. "This is getting on my nerves." I saw TheVoygerr1234 grab the radio, but Voyager15 then said,"No, don't respond. Better off to die in combat than become prisoners." And that was when I said,"Do we even have defenses on this thing?"
"Yes, we have railguns. Gunpowder doesn't work in space, that was tested years ago."
"Screw railguns. I'm just gonna use my powers."
I then went over to one of the railgun turrets. I then loaded an electromagnetic energy attack from my hands in the gun of the turret. "Ok, bye bye ships," I said evilly. That was when I pressed the "fire" button. First, a flash of blue light seem to hit an enemy ship. And then, that ship exploded, sending rubble everywhere. "Ok, you're our death," Jetman calmly remarked. Those ships aimed at us, and then oversized missiles hit our port and stern. "Oh, nuts!" TheVoyger1234 said. "Shield three and five are down! Everyone, grab a weapon! We are officially in combat stage!" Everyone on the ship manned the turrets and railgun machine guns. We then all open fire. All types of shells, from steel Armor-Penetrating to High-Explosive collided with the enemy ships. A few of them exploded. "What do they build their ships out of? Paper?" Sonjey joked. They then saw a few more enemy fighters. "They're calling in reinforcements," I said to himself. "Protecting that one huge ship...almost like its the mothership...wait... the mothership?" I then shouted out,"Aim for the big ship! It's their mothership!" The second I said that, they all followed what I said. A few seconds later, the Mothership was reduced to space junk. "We won the battle!" Eva exclaimed.
"Don't celebrate too early, we must head out towards the inner planets," I replied. "We're only safe there;I bet this is only one of the many battles we'll fight."
"Affirmative, Darkhydra," Voyger10 said to me. He then turned the ship back on. "For now, keep the defense turrets on. We don't know what we might encounter..."
We were about near the red planet, from what Voyager15 said. "We'll wait there for an escort, if they aren't hostile," Voyager15 said earlier. I now could see the huge planet. What I presumed was ice (or snow) covered the poles and extended out for what seemed to be hundreds of miles. The fiery red soil was riddled with huge craters. "Man the turrets!" I said. I then asked TheVoyger1234,"Scan the surrounding areas. Make sure there aren't any enemy ships." TheVoyger1234 then looked at the radar. "Enemy ships, straight ahead," he said.
"Ok, we are in a rendezvous with a fleet of five ships. Arm the weapons,"Jet said. "But don't fire unless they attack." In the distance we saw five medium-sized ships. Cylindrical parts attached to solar panels adorned the ship. However, they were far from "battle-ready" condition. Parts of the ships looked as if they were blasted off. Some of the solar panels and antennas were bent or broken. One of them even had downed engines, being pushed by a support vehicle. That was when TheVoyger1234 radioed to the other fleets,"Hold your fire, we're here to help." It seemed as if the other fleet was not listening, and they all fired their weapons. Missiles hit the ship's armor and shields, doing minor damage. Voyger10 then radioed to them,"This is another warning: Cease fire and we'll negotiate." Three more missiles flew dangerously close by the engines. That was when I fired my turret at one of their ships, blowing off a good portion of their armor and fuel tanks off. "This is your last warning, I repeat cease fire or we will attack," Voyger10 said one more time. Our assaulters stopped firing at us. They then radioed back,"Affirmative, however as this is Dunanian aerospace, we will escort you."
"Alright, as long as you don't fly us into the sun."
We heard a chuckle from the other end. "Haha, sir, it's called Kerbol, not the sun. And no, we won't throw you into Kerbol unless you have been bad. I'm assuming you got the SOS space probe? Or did you stumble here by mistake?"
"It nearly caused a riot;you should be lucky we're here at all."
"Ah, hah...very funny," whoever on the other end said sarcastically.
We followed the fleet of ships. They were headed away from the red planet. I then grabbed the radio and said,"Where are you taking us?"
"Ah, don't worry about that," they responded. We followed them for about an hour before we saw a speck in the distance. "Hm, is that a planet over there?" Scorpion Empire asked. That was when we saw a distant structure~what we presumed was a space station. "They're telling us to dock to them,"TheVoyger1234 said. "Should we?"
"I don't know, Voyger. This seems fishy but we won't get anywhere complaining."
Our ship then attached itself to the space station. The airlock that was attached to the station's other airlock was ready to open. "Everyone, grab a weapon. I'm not taking any chances,"I said. TheVoyger1234 then grabbed the lever that opened the airlock. Everyone waited, tense. The airlock opened. And they were met with a hail of gunfire.
This world ain't the friendliest, eh? Hope you enjoyed!
