Chapter 14: Collison Course
Zim still couldn't believe his eye's at what he was seeing. Irk centre of the greatest empire in the galaxy was under attack. As Zim continued to watch the unfolding battle he was interrupted, "ummm Zim I don't feel well". Turning his chair around he saw Tak standing holding or chest in great pain.
"Computer scan Tak what his wrong with her" barked Zim
"Nothing is wrong sir it's just that well………………."
"WHAAAT"
"Tak is going into labour"
"WHAAAT"
Resisty flagship
"Lard Nar the battle is still in doubt, we can't get close enough to Irk with their fleet in the way and though our numbers are equal, the irken armada is putting up a tough fight, they also have their planetary guns decimating our fleet"
"We must push through we are so close to finally ending the hold the irken's have had on the galaxy, freedom is at hand"
Suddenly a voice came form behind Lar Nar, "There is a quick way we can end this"
"And what's that? You the grand planner of this war so tell me what do we do Dib?"
"We attack the Massive" Dib said stepping into the light.
"Attack how? We can't spare enough ships to bring the needed firepower down on the massive till we destroy the bulk of the Irken fleet"
"We bored them and fight our way to the Tallest, once we have captured them the irken's will surrender. They look up to there leaders so much that seeing them captured will put the fight out of them, then we can demand the surrender of Irk.
"Your plan seems to have merits and we do have an advantage in ground combat compared to space thanks to your new weapon……….very well, pilot lay course straight for the Massive, full power to front shields and order 4 interceptor wings to keep our path clear". With that command the resity flagship charged headlong at the Massive.
Back in space
Battle was raging all around him, and though he had been in a space battle before never on this scale. His mind was racing trying to figure out what to do with a battle raging around him.
"Zim my fighter wing is being ordered to intercept some troop ships that have breached our line. We have to put plans for a pak on hold and protect our home world".
"It's a bit too late for that Skoodge…………….Tak is already going into labour"
"You can't be serious Zim"
"She needs to get to a medical facility now"
"Zim you'd never get to irk by yourself and I have my orders"
"But were talking about a newborn irken here, and not just that my son"
As Skoodge thought about the mess he goten into weighing his orders against the need of a friend he dident see the two interceptors come at him. Before he could act Nat blew both interceptors away.
"Sir what are your orders we can't stay here idle, there are five interceptors heading straight for us, what are your orders?".
"Will you soldiers fallow me whatever I do?"
"You know that sir, you have our loyalty"
"Soldiers form up with Zim's ship will escort him to the Massive"
"The Massive why?" Zim asked
"The Massive has recently had a medical bay built and has a few blank pak's stored there in-case one of the Tallest pak's got damaged and needed to be repaired or replaced"
"Can we get there? My scanners show the Massive under heavy attack"
"Don't worry my friend we will get you there,"
Resity flagship
"Lard Nar were taking heavy damage from the Massive forward gun's, shields down to 30 "
"Full power to engines were almost there, get the troops to the boarding tubes"
"I'll lead the assault myself" Dib said as he went down to the armoury"
Space
"Zim………I'm in pain………AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"Don't worry my love were almost there" Zim said trying to ease Tak's mind. "Skoodge is that ship going to ram the massive" Zim said pointing to the resity flagship.
"Don't think so, looks like their going to try to bored the Massive and with their new weapon the soldiers on there wont last long"
Looks like the rebels want to capture or kill my Tallest to force Irk's surrender……… no matter, nothing or no one will stop me getting Tak to the medical bay.
