Chapter 11: Liberating a Planet Part 4
Disclaimer: I don't own Vandread or the Ace Combat series.
The Odyssey of Discovery: Gryphus 1 the Second Stage
Emboldened by Archangel's sacrifice, the Harvesters increase their aggression on the opposition.
Barnette weaves through enemy missiles and fires her Dread's laser cannons on the F-15 Eagles, a bead of sweat rolls down her face and she wipes it away with her glove.
'I haven't been in a battle like this in a long time.' She thought.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spots an anti-ship missile pierce the Nirvana's weakened shields and hit her port side generating a fireball that briefly envelops the ship.
In her bridge control console, Ezra stated, "The Nirvana's port side has been hit!"
Magno narrowed her eyes, "This is not good. If we don't get backup soon, we're done for." Her prayer is answered when a familiar aircraft joins the battle.
Amarone smiled, "Gryphus 1 has returned!" The landing shuttle the Gisborn sisters are in docks with the Nirvana and they walk out. After it was complete, the shuttle's pilot steers the vehicle away from the ship.
As much as they wanted to rejoin the battle, they still haven't recovered from their fight with Satoshi and Megumi so with reluctance they watch the battle.
Gryphus 1 combines with Barnette's Dread to form Ma'at.
Aiming its Gatling gun, Ma'at opens fire on the approaching MiG-29 Fulcrums but more fighter jets close in, prompting the pilots to activate all of Ma'at's weapons, missile ports and all. Gaining multiple locks, they fire. A rain of bullets and missiles descend on the Fulcrums. Ma'at whips around to fire its high-powered rifle on Fakedread Dita then shoots the Gatling gun on Fakedread Meia without looking.
Amarone asked, "How is Gryphus 1 still going after his battle with Francesca?" Meia told them of what happened in the production facility after their returned to the Nirvana.
Gryphus 2 said, "Because he's the fucking Terminator, that's why." His statement is further reinforced by the way Gryphus 1 continued using his biological augmentation, fighting the Harvesters with no pity or remorse and with a stoic expression on his face. As more Harvester units fell victim to his wrath Gryphus 1 imagined Diego Navarro cursing him every time, something he relished in.
Crux finishes resupplying his E-3 Sentry II's weaponry and releases an electromagnetic pulse that disables a group of cube-types and fires the AMRAAM missile on them.
Dead Eye fires its high-caliber sniper rifle at a copycat version of her unit, blowing its arm off then aims for the power unit inside its chest. The bullet punches through the armor plating and emerges through the other end after scoring a direct hit to the generator. After watching the enemy explode Dead Eye fires its minigun at enemy missiles coming from her 12 o'clock high.
Bulls Eye's minigun tears MiG-27s apart like they were nothing. Chopper briefly switches to the shoulder missile launchers to down MiG-31 Foxhounds. Shoving its minigun into Fakedread Jura's stomach, Bulls Eye fills the Fakedread Jura with lead, the Fakedread's body shakes as each bullet penetrates it.
Devastator battles another Fakedread Dita with its drill after the enemy destroyed the black robot's primary weapon. Fakedread Dita swings its mounted laser cannon generating sparks as it made contact with the drill. Fakedread Dita avoids a jab from the opponent. Grimm's eyes narrow as he continues to keep his challenger on the defense, watching for any openings to present themselves.
Phantom kicks the copycat version of her unit back and takes aim with her shotgun, the explosive shells take out the arms, then the legs, then the head and finally the torso.
Despite their efforts, the seemingly never ending Harvesters keep coming back for more.
On board the OSN Avenger Kasumi gritted her teeth at the seemingly numerous enemy units before her radio operator stated, "Captain, we're picking up new signatures on radar."
Kasumi asked in weary, "Do we know who they are?"
She got her answer when the voice of a pilot said, "This is Gregory Stein, leader of the Osean 705th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, we received word about your situation and would like to help." A formation of pale blue F-15E Strike Eagles
Kasumi's eyebrow twitched dangerously, "What took you guys so long?"
Gregory explained, "We were originally meant to head out the moment we received your request for assistance but the Harvesters launched a surprise attack so it took a while to clear the runway. I apologize for taking so long. We'll make up for it by assisting you in this battle." He then ordered his wingmen, "Okay, boys it's time to check these fools into the Smackdown Hotel." He gives the order to disperse and authorizes the use of special weapons.
Gregory lines up with a cube-type's 6 o'clock high and fires an AIM-120D Sparrow, the missile's radar guidance system led the projectile toward its target. The cube-type gets trashed by the air to air missile.
His wingmen prove to formidable opponents as well because whatever enemy that came across them stood no chance.
Chopper spots an opening in Fakedread Dita's defense and alters the angle of his attacks and start batting away on the enemy, it soon grabs the arm holding its laser cannon and targets Fakedread Dita's chest, the drill starts piercing the armor plating until it reached the generator. The generator gets penetrated and sets off a chain reaction, Devastator withdraws its drill before an explodes tears Fakedread to smithereens.
Gryphus 1 uses his sharp eyesight to see where the cube-types were coming from then he spots a cloaked airborne fortress reflecting light off the red dwarf star. He instantly recognized what it is.
Firing Ma'at's boosters, he and Barnette close in and fire the Gatling gun until it damages the Optical Camoflauge System to the point where it can't function anymore.
The Gleipnir class airborne fortress becomes visible and the pilots taken in the ship's appearance.
It was colored white, massive in size and had little weaponry on it which indicated that this one was more of an assault carrier than a battle fortress. To compensate for the minimal weaponry, the assault carrier had thick armor.
Kasumi said in surprise, "They brought a second Gleipnir class airborne fortress and it was cloaked this entire time?"
Blaze added, "It must have been where the fighter jets came from. Let's turn this behemoth into scrap metal. All units, form up we are finishing this in one go." Razgriz Squadron forms up and they head for the assault carrier, Antares.
Blaze aims Dead Eye's high-caliber sniper rifle at the assault carrier's engines but the bullets hardly dent the armor covering them. She then notices launching ports open up on Antares' back and a missile's head comes into view.
Gryphus 1's eyes widened in shock, "Is that what I think it is?"
Gryphus 2 said, "That's a Shockwave Ballistic Missile." The memory of Gryphus Squadron's near destruction over Cape Aubrey at the hands of the Gleipnir flashes through Gryphus 1's mind.
Behind his helmet, he shook his head while wearing a horrified look on his face, "No. Not again. I don't want the past repeat itself." He dons an angry expression before squeezing the control spheres and Ma'at arms its missiles, Gatling gun and high-powered rifle and upon gaining multiple locks he fires. The maelstrom of bullets and missiles impact Antares hard, destroying the SWBM launching ports at the same time. Caved in metal took the launching ports' place.
Gryphus 1 gritted his teeth, "Why do you punks fight when you know you will lose?"
Hibiki said, "Crux, Gryphus 2, are you up for one more attack run on a Gleipnir class airborne fortress?"
Gryphus 2 grinned, "You bet. Tell us where to strike and we'll do it."
Hibiki instructed, "I want you two bull ram through Antares' hull and emerge through the bow. Dita and I will target the engines. Once that's done our allies will hammer Antares' with everything they've got." Vandread Dita detaches its shoulder mounted laser cannons and joins them into a javelin. After it's done charging up the shiny blue Vandread throws it, the javelin pierces the engines taking away the assault carrier's means of movement. Seeing they're up next, Crux and Gryphus 2 light up the afterburners and bull rush at the target, an aqua green aura envelops their respective airplanes.
The F-22 and E-3 Sentry II ram through Antares' interior trashing internal components before emerging through the ship's bow.
Gryphus 1 said, "It's not going anywhere now. All units, open fire on the assault carrier." The Nirvana fires its homing lasers, the Dreads and Tianlong Squadron unleash their missiles, the Osean 705th Fighter-Bomber Squadron fired their anti-ship missiles and Razgriz Squadron fire their respective weapons while Devastator uses its drill to tear a gaping hole in the ship's underbelly. Strangely Antares survives the attack thanks to its thick armor.
Amarone informed, "The enemy airborne fortress is still intact, captain. Our weapons are simply not causing enough damage."
On board the Avenger, Kasumi contacted, "Let me handle that. Natsu!" The screen pops up to show an attractive young woman of 22 years of age, long blonde hair tied in a braid, fair skin, amber eyes covered by black framed glasses and wore a red blouse, blue shorts, white socks and black shoes standing in the computer room. All in all, her attire gave Natsu an aura that radiated computer geek.
The young woman asked, "Yes, captain?"
Kasumi said, "Our fighters are having trouble taking down Antares. Can you adjust the Mason Cannon's program it to shoot down objects above the planet?"
Natsu saluted, "Leave it to me, captain. I'm not called the greatest computer wiz for nothing." Closing the monitor, Natsu fixed her glasses and popped her fingers, "Okay, Harvesters. You threaten to steal our eyes and we'll fight back. Hard. Antares will serve as an example." Her fingers start running across the keyboard at blinding speed modifying the Mason Cannons' rate of fire, range and targeting system and presses the enter key. A loading bar quickly fills before the computer showed her the message "Program rewriting complete".
Down on Gaia's surface, on top of their assigned buildings, the Mason Cannons aim as high as they can possibly go and fire in short bursts. The pink beams travel through Gaia's atmosphere and enter space, connecting with Antares' armored frame. The Nirvana and her allies do another joint barrage. The end result is the fighters hammering at the enemy assault carrier with near ruthless aggression.
After 10 minutes of constantly getting hit, Antares finally succumbs to the relentless barrage. In response to this the surviving Harvest units retreat from the red dwarf system, the crew of every allied ship cheer in victory.
Kasumi leans back in her seat on the Avenger's bridge, sighing in relief that the fierce battle was finally over.
The next few weeks are spent repairing damaged units, both ground and air teams recovering from the battle and a funeral for all the souls that perished in the fight. Coincidentally it was also Chang's 29th birthday so they set up a reasonably sized party for him. When the party was over, the crew went back to their duties.
The Osean mechanics were generous enough to help the Nirvana crew repair the ship and Dreads. Tianlong, Gryphus Squadron and Mobius 1 sustained no damage to their fighter jets. Apparently this fight pushed the pilots to their limit, forcing them to go beyond their normal piloting ability.
Meia and Mia had their flight suits repaired while Kyle had his helmet, g-suit and the synthetic skin over his artificial left arm fixed.
Mori opens her eyes to find herself in the Nirvana's infirmary.
A voice said, "Glad you're awake, sleepy." Mori directs her gaze to her right and spots Catherine sitting in a chair next to her bedside, one leg crossed over the other and arms crossed.
Catherine answered her incoming question, "You passed out the moment you came out of your J-20. Heh, never thought I'd see you be that exhausted. I must say you looked adorable sleeping especially your face, so peaceful it was."
Mori blushed, "Do you like teasing everyone or just me?" Her blush increases when Catherine stands up and come closer, leaning over the slightly older woman her dyed brown hair surrounding Mori like a curtain.
Catherine formed a teasing grin, "Sometimes but you're so cute, I can't resist." She cupped Mori's cheek and said in a seductive tone, "Especially this."
Mori said, "What are you talking-" She gets cut off when the young British woman presses her lips against hers, Mori's eyes widen in shock before closing. The kiss gets a little heated when they French kiss though Mori was a little hesitant. The kissing goes on for about 5 minutes before they had to separate. A hot blush stains Mori's cheeks.
Catherine asked, "How was that, cutie?"
The slightly older woman said, "Why did you do that?"
Catherine gave her a quick peck, "Isn't it obvious? I love you. Not like a sister but actually love you, Mori Akaboshi." The blush turns a deeper shade of red from the the way Catherine's blue eyes bore into her dark brown ones.
Mori asked, "But...what about...your feelings of Chang?"
The British woman replied, "I've come to realize it was a crush than actual love. In fact, prior to coming here I talked to Chang about it and he said he completely understands." She enjoyed watching Mori squirm as her hand wanders over the young Japanese woman's body, starting at her face then going downward to her thigh.
Mori shoved her away, "Stop that, please." Thankfully Catherine stops her teasing.
She giggled, "As much as I want to continue making you a blushing mess, I'll comply with your order. However, Mori if you want to resume our moment feel free to visit my room. Sayonara." Once her friend was gone, Mori places a hand over her chest feeling her heart beating madly. That little teasing Catherine formed butterflies in her stomach.
The young Japanese woman had never shown any interest in anyone. At least on the romantic level but there was something about her squad mate that Mori couldn't figure. Was it Catherine's personality or the confession she just made about being in love with her?
This strange new feeling confused her, she lays back down to recover from the exhausting battle. She then senses another person coming towards her, turning her head she watches Chang make his way over. Fortunately the blush on Mori's face disappears.
He sat down, "Hey Mori, how are you feeling?"
Mori answered, "Better." They start talking in a civil matter.
Kyle and Meia sit in the library reading some books with intent on finding more clues about Aurelia's fate. They flip through page after page hoping to find something but don't find any useful information. Just when their frustrations reached its limit, Kyle spots a chapter that talked about some invasion. Focusing on that chapter they find their interest growing.
Kyle read, "In the year 2038, the Gray Men struggled to complete their super soldiers program due to lack of funds so they staged an invasion with full intent of global domination as well as obtaining additional funding. The invasion started at Usea and steadily progressed over the Osean continent and beyond. Usea and its allies were able to hold the invading forces long enough for Mobius 1 and his surviving ally to escape the carnage. All opposition was crushed by the start of 2039. Despite this, Aurelia, Leasath and other countries secretly continued to build colonization ships that'll one day allow humanity to live among the stars. They received funding through discreet third-parties that hated the Gray Men. They eventually caught wind of the project and searched for the bases, however to their chagrin the bases were hidden deep inside mountain ranges, deep enough so they can remain undetected by military satellites." Sadly the information ends there.
They close the books and Kyle rubs the bridge of his nose.
Meia said, "That's one more piece of the puzzle found."
Kyle told her, "That doesn't help my contempt of the Gray Men. In fact something tells me they did something else but what?"
Meia placed a hand over his, "Cheer up, Kyle. We'll figure out what became of Aurelia after your squad's disappearance, I promise." That evening Ken finalizes the agreement with Kasumi about their alliance.
Eugene and Jura sit on a hill looking at the horizon, Jura's hand crawls its way toward Eugene's and locks them together and rests her head on the man's shoulder earning a look of surprise from Eugene. However, the feeling of her smooth skin was nice. He's surprised further when Jura straddles his lap and presses her lips against his, arms wrapping around his neck while Eugene's secures his hands around her waist. The kiss lasted for about one minute before they had to break for air.
Eugene asked, "What was that for?"
Jura giggled, "What? I'm not allowed to kiss my boyfriend? That is what we are now, right?"
The young man said, "Well...yeah. I'm going to miss being on solid ground, it's certainly better than being inside a futuristic spaceship for most of this journey."
Jura stroked his hair, "Don't worry, sweetie. We are near the end of the trip back to Tarak/Mejale territory."
Eugene sighed, "You're right but why do I get the feeling that our welcome home reception won't be pleasant?"
The blonde-haired Dread pilot told him, "Stay positive, Eugene." After bidding farewell to their newfound allies, the Nirvana crew departs from Gaia.
Kyle meets up with Hibiki and his squad mates.
He praised, "You did well being in charge of Gryphus Squadron during the battle with the Harvesters. That proved you are fully capable of being a squadron leader if you wanted."
Hibiki smiled, "Thank you, Kyle. You and Meia taught me a lot."
Kyle advised, "Don't let it go to your head though, kid. Arrogance can be anyone's weakness." Turning around he walks toward his and Meia's bedroom to change into a different set of clothes for his date with Meia, stating that it'd be a good learning experience seeing that neither has been on a date before.
He settles with a blue polo shirt, tan cargo pants, socks and his blue with white trimming shoes and finishes by removing his circlet. Ready for the date, Kyle sets out to meet Meia in the Nirvana's garden. Arriving at the meeting spot, he notices the Dread leader hadn't shown up yet. He rocks on his heels, arms crossed behind his back.
Meia's voice called out, "Sorry I'm late, Kyle." Whipping around Kyle blinks in surprise at what the light blue-haired woman had on.
Meia wore a short-sleeve red blouse, black miniskirt, light gray stockings, had some eyeliner on, heeled shoes and didn't have her circlet on. All in all, the Mejalian was a sight to behold.
She asked, "What do you think?"
Kyle answered, "You look amazing, Meia. I must say this is the first time I've seen you wear something other than your flight suit."
Meia smiled with a blush, "Thank you, Kyle. Jura helped me with this, stating that if I wanted this date to be right I'd need help from a self-proclaimed fashion expert like her. Heh, guess it was effective seeing the reaction from you." Rebooting his mind, he offers his hand and they head out.
Sitting at a table set up for them, they order their meal of choice. Kyle decided to go for a steak cooked medium with a side of salad with ranch dressing and Meia ordered the same.
Eugene, dressed in some waiter outfit writes down the orders on the little note pad and bows stating their meals will be ready shortly. Once he reaches the kitchen, he hands Ken and Barnette the ordered meals and they start cooking.
Ken surprised Barnette when he said he was an excellent cook though Ken admitted he wasn't at the beginning so he watched cooking shows, books, anything source of information that would help improve his cooking skills.
Kyle and Meia casually chat with each other until their meals arrived. They soon dig in.
Over the course of the date, Kyle felt joy running through him. Spending time with the Dread leader was one of the few things he loved in his tormented life. It brought comfort.
They picked the meals clean and Eugene comes over to retrieve the plates and brings them to the kitchen for cleaning. Kyle next leads Meia to the Nirvana's garden.
He offered his hand, "Meia, would you join me in a dance?"
Meia asked, "What for?"
Kyle shrugged, "Because it fits the mood."
Meia smiled, nodding, "Sure." Taking his hand, the two start dancing to some imaginary music.
He twirls the Dread leader around with grace that surprised both of them.
Meia said, "I never knew you could dance so well."
Kyle admitted, "I didn't but I watched my parents dance a couple of times." They danced for another 10 minutes before they decide to retire for the night but Meia had one more surprise for him.
After a searing kiss the Dread leader tells him to close his eyes and don't peek, Kyle closes them deciding to play along.
A minute later, Meia said, "Okay, you can open them now." Obeying her command, Kyle opens his blue-gray eyes and they almost comically bulge out of their sockets at what the Dread leader's wearing.
She donned a lingerie styled bra that was transparent past her ribs, silky nylon stockings attached to a garter belt and panties.
Meia leaned forward, "Does it excite you?"
Kyle said, "Why do I have the weirdest feeling that Mia had something to do with this?" Inside their room, Mia was riding Alex when she suddenly sneezes and made her stop thrusting.
Alex asked, "Why'd you sneeze?"
Mia rubbed her nose, "Someone must be talking about me." She starts moving up and down again, moaning at the feeling of Alex's member hitting her g-spot repeatedly.
(Lemon time. You know the rest, right?)
Kyle kisses Meia while wrapping his arms around her slender waist and the light blue-haired woman places hers around Kyle's neck, pressing herself against him in the process. Meia removes Kyle's shirt without breaking the kiss, moaning when she feels kissing her neck attacking the pulse there. The sensation causes Meia to become wet between her legs the feeling intensifies when Kyle's hands venture down her sides toward her shapely hips then rub her firm, toned rear end giving each cheek a good squeeze in turn making the Dread leader squirm. Finally separating from the kiss, Meia reaches behind her to find the clasp, couple of snaps later she tosses the undergarment aside exposing her beautiful breasts to Kyle. He gives Meia a gentle smooch before taking one nipple into his mouth gently biting the pink nub and Meia runs her fingers through Kyle's black hair while moaning her approval. Meia's other breast isn't left untreated because Kyle rubs it in circles. Meia leads them to the bed and softly pushes Kyle onto his back as their tongues wrestle each other. A trail of saliva forms when they break the kiss. Straddling her lover Meia runs her hands over the Aurelian's toned chest thanks to being trained by Ken Kitsuragi. Sitting up straight Meia allows Kyle to drink in her stunning body.
Kyle said, "I had no idea Mia would talk you into this."
Meia giggled, "That's half true but the main reason is I wanted to do something different whenever we make love so Mia gave me this lingerie since we wear the same size."
Kyle smiled, "Which is nice seeing how snugly it fits you." His reward was a passionate kiss from the light blue-haired woman.
She moves down and undoes the buckle to Kyle's cargo pants and both it and his underwear down, freeing his erection. Meia wraps her slender hand on it earning moans from Kyle as she strokes it. Meia stands up to remove her soaked panties then joins Kyle on the bed again. She turns over, presenting her pussy while she faced his member placing them in the 69 position
Kyle pulls her butt down to eat her out, Meia moans in pleasure before taking her lover's cock into her mouth, licking it as if it was an ice cream cone. Kyle moves two fingers into Meia's vagina getting covered with juices in the process, he next targets the young woman's clitoris using his thumb to rub the sensitive bulb in circles. Meia cries out in desire from the stimulation and adds her breasts in conjunction with her mouth trying to push them over the edge simultaneously. It becomes a contest of who can reach the climax first and Kyle ends up winning, Meia screams out her release coating Kyle's fingers with her juices. Meia looks over her shoulder panting.
She pouted, "No fair, I wanted both of us to climax."
Her lover playfully rolled his eyes, "Oh, stop. We're moving to the main event so relax, princess." Meia rolls onto her back and Kyle rubs his cock over her pussy then pushes in earning a gasp of pleasure from Meia.
Kyle moves in slow strokes while watching Meia's breasts move up and down, she lifts her arms and pulls Kyle down to press her lips against his. Wanting to feel more of him, the Dread leader brings him flush against her loving the feeling of her breasts rubbing against his chest. She rocks her hips in time with his thrusts allowing Kyle to hit Meia's deepest spots inside her pussy. The Aurelian removes Meia's hands from his back and places them above her head and stares at into her eyes, aqua blue meeting blue-gray.
Meia said, "Kyle." She felt him speed up, "That's it, Kyle! Faster! Harder!" Her moans grow louder and the bed squeaks.
One female was passing by when she hears the loud moans and knocks on the locked door.
She asked, "Kyle, you okay in there?"
Kyle said, "Everything's fine, ma'am. Now get lost!" Not wanting to be on the receiving end of his anger, the woman briskly walks away.
Back inside the room, he asked Meia, "Now, where were we? Oh, yeah." He resumes thrusting into Meia who starts moaning again.
Kyle feels Meia's warm inner walls tighten and was dangerously close to bursting. Meia wraps her legs wanting to join him in climax, 5 more thrusts later and they moan in unison. Kyle fires into Meia's vagina panting it white and Meia twitches at the feeling of his hot seed entering her. After the last burst, Kyle collapses onto her panting.
Meia grinned, "My goodness, you are still hard. I'm up for one more round." She reverses their positions and straddles Kyle, rubbing his member with her wet pussy then grabs hold of it Meia moans in pleasure as she lowers herself. The Dread leader soon discovered this was her favorite position it gave her a sense of control.
Placing her hands on Kyle's chest, she rocks back and forth while Kyle holds the young woman's shapely hips.
Meia moaned, "It feels so good. I missed doing this." Kyle moans at the feeling of Meia's pussy grinding and caressing his cock, the black-haired man switches to holding the Dread leader's toned butt aiding her in moving.
Meia picks up the pace rocking back and forth faster, moaning nonstop at her lover's cock assaulting her g-spot. The sound of flesh smacking against each other fills the room then Kyle sits up locking lips with Meia who secures her arms around his neck. Their tongues duel with one another and Meia arches her back when one of Kyle's hand slowly runs down her spine. He grabs the light blue-haired woman's butt allowing her to bounce on his lubricated shaft more smoothly Meia throws her head back moaning in lust yet at the same time loving her lover's cock pummeling her vagina. She rocks back and forth to make Kyle's cock go deeper once again. They continue thrusting against each other for an additional 20 minutes with Kyle alternating between slow thrusts and fast ones to prolong the pleasure but all good things must come to an end at some point.
Meia moves faster her pussy releasing fluids and her cheeks are flushed. Sweat drips from their bodies.
Kyle shut his eyes tightly, "I'm close, Meia. I can't..." He gets cut off by Meia kissing him passionately the Dread leader feels Kyle's member tense up. She digs her nails into his back although Kyle ignores it. The Aurelian's muscles tense up as well before both of them throw their heads crying out in pleasure.
He fires another stream of semen into Meia filling her to the brim and her pussy returns the favor, milking his member for all its worth. After the last eruption of cum, Kyle falls backward Meia resting on his chest trying to regain her breath, her soft breasts crushed against his bare chest.
'His sperm is so warm.' Meia thought as she kissed Kyle hotly.
Breaking the lip lock she gives Kyle a loving, radiant smile.
Kyle said, "That was hot."
Meia chuckled, "I'll say."
The Aurelian advised, "While I did like the choice of attire you had on this time, please don't let it become a habit."
Meia giggled, "I won't. It'll only be for special occasions."
Kyle ran a hand over Meia's side, "Thank you, Meia." He pulls the covers over them and Meia snuggles up to him, laying her head on Kyle's chest and the Aurelian enjoys the feeling of Meia's silky nylon stockings wrapped around his left leg. Kyle places an arm on Meia's back and rubs her smooth skin.
A/N: Chapter 11 done. This concludes the Liberating a Planet arc, hope you enjoyed it.
It turned out the Harvesters brought two Gleipnir class airborne fortresses with Antares being the source of virtually endless hostile forces.
