As the alarms blared throughout the ship, all the lights changed to red meaning an attack was occurring. Springing from my bed, I bolted towards my door and yanked it open. Dashing through the hallways, I changed into my combat outfit along the way. Storming into the bridge, every single monitor were blaring warning signals. Moving to my chair, I began assessing the situation.

"Evie! What's the problem?!"

"Tactical nuke threat sir!"

"Where? Who fired it?!"

"No sir, an Artificial Satellite is entering the earth's orbit and is not burning up! It's on a collision course towards Tenguu city"

"Wait, what?!"

"That's not all, the Satellite is giving off Territorial readings and has explosives strapped on it! It's gonna level the whole city. The shelters aren't gonna withstand that sir"

"Shit! Evasive maneuvers! All hands to battlestations! I want all guns ready to fire"

"Sir, my weapons won't do any damage to such thing"

"Don't worry, I'll deal with the fucking Satellite"

"Sir! New readings. Enemy airship in detected in the vicinity!"

"Goddammit. DEM?"

"Affirmative. Fraxinus is currently closing in to intercept. Air wings still deploying. Another 5 minutes until the birds are in the air"

"You handle that Airship. I'm making sure that Satellite doesn't get near the ground"

"Yes sir!"

"Tatsuya…."

Turning to voice, I found Blake standing there.

"Don't worry, I got this. Help Evie out okay?"

"Whatever you say Captain" she saluted.

Running out of the bridge, I transformed into my combat outfit on the way. Stepping out into the cold skies, I crouched down and began gathering power to my feet. Blasting off, I sent a shockwave through the clouds and flew at supersonic speeds. As I soared through the clouds, I spotted the Satellite coming in at an extremely alarming rate. Banking to my right, I descended in order to get ahead to the thing. Arriving at the spot, a large shadow soon loomed over me. Reaching out both my hands, I used all manners of gravity and stopped the Satellite. As the hulking piece of metal came closer, it had Bandersnatches placed around it protecting the thing.

Feeling grip around the satellite tighten, I negated the effects of gravity from the earth basically rejecting the thing. As the thing played out in my grip, I flew back to avoid a laser beam. Losing concentration, the satellite started to fall. Generating gravity in different parts, and from the inside, I used it's own territory against it. Hearing the sound of screeching metal, the satellite began to tear up. Increasing the pull while avoiding more laser attacks, the satellite soon broke up into four separate pieces and they soon started falling towards the ocean floor. Relaxing a bit, I broke contact with the airship and disappeared out of sight.

Feeling a small vibration in my pocket, I pulled out my phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Tatsuya, we need you!"

"Kotori? What for?"

"The satellite!"

"What? I just destroyed it"

"There's another!"

"What?"

"Look!"

Breaking cover from the clouds, another artificial satellite was seen heading in this direction.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me" I groaned.

Flying towards the object, I put both hands forward and crashed right into it. Reducing its speed, I kicked my flight powers into effect and how St used pure strength to push it back. Putting some more strength into my arms, the satellite soon began to move in the opposite direction. Feeling danger however, I saw a large energy beam heading towards me. Breaking off, the energy beam impacted the satellite and sent fires and explosions everywhere. Stumbling back from the blast, my gravity aura was still high.

Lowering my hands, I expected to see falling scrap metal. Instead I was greeted by a moving satellite. Using my gravity kinesis, I stopped the object from moving and suspended it in mid-air. Pulling out my phone, I dialed the number Kotori called me on.

"What the Fuck was that for?!"

"Sorry, we had to do it"

"Try warning me next time for fucks sake! Besides, it did Jack shit! It's still flying!"

"We're gonna take it down using Gungnir. Keep that airship busy so we can destroy this hulking metal"

"Wow, distraction much. Fine, I'll just fly in dodging patterns then"

"Thanks"

Putting the phone in my pocket, I kept my grip on the satellite and began closing in on the DEM ship. As laser fire was directed towards me, I simply dodged them all effortlessly and trolled them while at it. As the guns desperately tried to hit me, I was just simply too fast for them. Flying in circles, they started to pick up on my flight pattern. Changing it, I now was the biggest troll on this planet for the DEM targeting system. Looking at the Fraxinus in the distance, a large beam, no rather pillar, was fired from it heading straight towards the satellite.

The explosion was glorious nonetheless as the powerful blast disintegrated the chunk of metal into smoldering ash. Feeling a sense of relief, I hoped it was the last. My mind just had to fucking say it now didn't it? Proven wrong again, not one, but two more satellites appeared in the sky.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! This is bullshit! How many fucking satellites do these bastards want to throw at us?!"

BOOM!

Hearing a thunderous roar from behind, I spun around and saw my carrier releasing thunderous railgun broadsides from the phalanx cannons. As the rounds exited the barrels at supersonic speeds. Rendering territories useless, the downside was the rounds weren't explosive. But, The rail, the projectile and the sabot the projectile are subjected to crazy forces and temperatures. Friction is pretty much unavoidable, and it will cause metal to be ground off and fly out of the barrel. Upon contact with air the immense heat will cause it to burn. So you're fucked if any round hits you. The same can be said for that poor DEM ship right now.

As the DEM airship shifted it's fire towards the carrier, multiple screeching like sound could be heard in another direction. As F-22's and F/A-18 hornets zipped around. They began unleashing their payloads on both the satellites and DEM airship. The skies soon erupted with explosions and missiles flew wildly in different directions. Railguns and lasers both exchanged fire with Railguns clearly being the victor due to it rendering territories useless.

Returning my attention to the Satellites, I generated an earpiece and began contacting Evie.

"Evie! I don't suppose you have the aggressors, cannons ready now do you?" I joked.

Grabbing both satellites with gravity, I halted their approach instantly and kept them in locked in their position. Increasing the gravitational pull on one of them, it slowly began to tear up like the first one.

"Sir, you have incoming"

Spinning around, I dodged a Bandersnatches claw just by a few seconds. Punching it, I smashed the head clean off. As hundreds descended upon me, I targeted all of them. Using my charge ability, I quickly charged towards the poor bastards and began smashing them. Jumping from Bandersnatch to Bandersnatch, I was like a blur to them. Within less than a minute, all Bandersnatches that tried to assault me fell into the ocean.

Oh, new record. Last time I used this it took me 2 minutes and 8.9 seconds. Now it's 54.7 seconds. Not bad, not bad at all. As more descended, they broke up into squadrons and began flanking me. Seeing a squadron torn to shreds from machine gun fire. A F/A-18 flew overhead and launched several missiles at another squadron completely decimating them. As a squadron began to pursue the lone jet, the F/A-18 blasted off luring them into a trap unbeknownst to them. Watching them speed off i began my interception run. Seeing the two Satellite's suspended in the air, I kept my concentration on them while hunting down Bandersnatches.

"Sir!"

"What?!"

"We have a problem!"

"A lone Satellite has slipped through and is nearing the city!"

"What?! Shit! Fuck I didn't pay attention!"

"Leave it to the girls Tatsuya, they'll take it from here. After all, my stupid brother is in the city. Gives them more motivation" Kotori chimed in.

"Alright, fine. Guess I'll hold them here with you all" destroying another squadron. "Evie, start calling out squadrons leaving the sector. They might start attacking the girls"

"Too late, they're already engaging sir. More squadrons have been detached to reinforce the fight. Sending 15th and 27th squadron to assist"

"Roger, moving to intercept"

Kicking my flight into full effect, I dived down and accelerated at high speeds. Spotting the the squadrons of Bandersnatches, I whipped out my pistols and loaded them with scatter shot bullets. I fused with gravity bombs, I fired into the first squad and completely decimated them. As the squadrons detected my presence, one broke off to engage me while the remaining three blasted off quickly. Firing a well aimed shot, I decimated the incoming squadron. As 15th and 27th squadron whizzed by, the sound of machine gun fire and missiles being launched could be heard beneath.

Diving below the clouds, the F/A-18 and F-22s began dogfighting over the city. Some flew at low level altitudes guns blazing near street levels while some went high and attacked from above. Finding a target, I began my pursuit. As the group descended into the tight city, they split up causing me to pick one way. Choosing a random path, I picked up speed and chased my target like a hound. Spotting the two Bandersnatches that broke off, I aimed one of my pistols and destroyed one. As the remaining Bandersnatche fired it's lasers at me, I did multiple rolls to avoid the hits. Making a hard turn, we both rounded the corner. Firing my pistol, I destroyed the Bandersnatch. As another two crossed my path, I began my pursuit again. This time however, they began flying at low levels and blasted away wildly. Doing a barrel roll, I avoided all their shots. Increasing my speed, I aimed both of my pistols at the humanoid machines and fired straight into their faces just as I passed them. As the two machines crashed to the ground in a fiery heap, I hunted for more. Spotting the last two survivors, a smile formed on my face. Taking a different route, I tracked their movements. Raising a fist, I flew down the street colliding with the two robots crossing in front.

"Fuck yes, hunt complete"

"Sorry to burst your bubble sir, but there's more"

"Well, shit. Fine then, they asked for it"

Reloading my pistols, I looked up and saw 15th squadron fly over guns blazing. Hearing a different engine sound, I turned and saw 27th squadron engaging near the coast while 15th covered the city. Using my senses, I flew higher and towards the oncoming Bandersnatches.

"Sir, I'm recalling 15th squadron for rearming and refueling. 12th squadron will fill their role. 27th squadron have 10 more minutes left before they have to be recalled"

"Roger, how's the DEM airship?"

"A pain in the ass sir. She has taken several hits and multiple missile strikes. Her 2nd and 4th engines are gone and she's burning in the aft and rear. But she still won't go down. I'll be preparing another barrage to finish the deal"

"How about the satellites?"

"Still there sir. I've shifted some fire and chipped away at their territory. But they need to be brought higher or else the explosion radius might cause severe destruction from the shockwave alone"

"Understood, I'll begin moving them right away. And while at it, try aiming for their computer systems. Take down this Bandernsatches hordes"

"Understood sir"

As the Bandersnatches kept descending, I engaged them head on and the sky erupted with explosions and metal bodies began falling to the ground in fiery flames. Increasing the gravity bombs in my bullets, I dealt more damage than ever and their ranks slowly began to diminish. Not able to hold most of them, some slipped past and completely ignored me. Instead they went for Shidou and the girls down below holding the last Satellite.

Tch, desperate shit bastards. They want to destroy Tenguu city that badly? Too bad assholes, you'll have to get past me first!

Gaining more strength, my reload speed increased majorly firing my pistol like machine guns instead. Blasting clouds away and destroying literally anything that tried to get past me. Missing a few Bandersnatches here and there, I concentrated on blasting as much as I can. Turning my sights to see how Shidou and the girls were holding up. I swear I lost some brain cells when I saw what was in front of me. The large satellite that was supposed to have packed a nuclear payload was somehow transformed into a fucking Mr. Pig. A fucking Mister Pig, rubbing my forehead at such an act, I really hoped those guys on the ground knew what they were doing. Seeing three powerful beams slicing at the Mr. Pig all at once, the immense firepower combined from all three slashes tore apart the Territory of the transformed Satellite and Mr. Pig made a comical sound when it exploded sending countless Chupa Chups into the air and basically making it rain. There are some who would enjoy such a shower, and I could name one person we all know.

Calming myself, I placed a hand to my ear and radioed in Evie.

"Status report"

"Enemy airship is fleeing sir. Those bastard really do have a knack for staying alive. Turns out they managed to use scrap metal as extra layers of armour, cheap shits. She's in critical condition and is maintaining a very slow speed. I have squadrons hammering away at her and my forward guns are still firing. Should I pursue?"

"No, recall the fighters, let them go. They'll go down sooner or later if they don't receive repairs. What about the satellites that I pulled back?"

"Their in space sir. Disabled. I've hacked into their systems. Although is couldn't recommend blowing them up sir. We could use this to speed up the Aggressor project"

"True, I'll let you handle it from here. Take it apart whatever, just use it in the project if necessary. How's Blake?"

"She had fun sir, managed to score more than 500 kills on Bandersnatches. All while dogfighting in the air"

"Impressive, I have to congratulate her when I get back. How's the damage to our fighters?"

"Luckily we didn't lose any. But most fighters sustained heavy damage, it's going to be awhile until they're in working order again"

"Alright. Ammunition wise?"

"Plenty sir, plenty"

"Alright. How's the Fraxinus doing?"

"Minor damage taken by them"

"What about you?"

"Minor Hull damage sir, nothing I can't fix"

"Good, I'll be heading back now. Keep me updated"

"Yes sir"

Rising above the clouds, I took a nice long cruise flight back towards the carrier. Since Evie moved, I had to spend an extra few minutes looking for her new position. Eventually finding her, I landed on the deck only to be greeted by a happy girl.

"Welcome back!" Blake greeted.

Rushing up to her, I embraced her and gave a small laugh at it.

"Yeah, I'm back. Did you enjoy yourself? I heard you racked up some pretty intense kills"

"Hell yes! Killed more than 500 of those shitbots. Pretty fun"

"Glad you enjoyed yourself" snuggling her nose.

"How about you? Did you enjoy your fight?"

"Mhm..yeah, kinda intense close combat engagements and such. Pretty wicked air battles by Evie, gotta hand it to her. Best ace we've got on the team"

"I'm flattered sir" Evie came in through the earpiece.

Chuckling at her, I looked at Blake deeply. Giving her a kiss, I looked at her face and she was blushing wildly at the unexpected gesture. Giggling at her, she gave a hard smack on my shoulder.

"Ahahah-Ouch!-Ahaha" I laughed heartily.

As the both of us made our way inside the carrier, we both collapsed on the bed of exhaustion. Although it was weird, and awkward at the same time, we were just too tired to give a damn. As Blake rolled over to me and placed an arm around me, I began to stroke her hair which she seemed to enjoy. She kept tracing her fingers down and up my body in random patterns. Before I knew it, she fell asleep next to me. As she snuggled up closer, I hugged her closely and also fell to the power of sleep.

"Die you mongrel!" a voice bellowed.

"Eh? Who the hell is that?"

"My friend, it seems you are experiencing a memory from your other self"

"You mean him?"

"Pretty much"

"Well, I don't see it"

"Look behind you"

Turning around, I was greeted by two large figures clashing in the clouds. One of them was clad in golden armour and wielded a golden spear that seemed to glow with yellow electricity. His opponent, who wore some sort of yellow-ish type armour that had a huge scarf covering his face almost entirely. He had silver and grey flowing hair coming out of his helmet and he wielded a large Swordspear. As the two warriors clashed, the skies themselves shook and thunder roared. The warrior in golden armour sent multiple lightning strikes towards his opponent but he simply shrugged it off. As his opponent charged him, he thrusted his blade forward and sent the golden warrior back.

As the golden warrior recovered, their two great weapons met and they dueled furiously. Sending speaks every where and hacking away at each other, it would seem the fight would end in a draw. As the fight dragged on, the golden warrior spun his spear while the opponent leapt into the air and came down on him. Sending a strong shockwave, I was somehow blown back by the tremendous force even though it was a dream.

As the golden warrior blocked such a mighty blow, he sent his opponent back and used that window of opportunity to strike at him. As his spear dealt damage to his armour, his opponent took the hits like a punching bag. The hits were so strong that they would make even Kokabiel's powered attacks look like shit. As his opponent stumbled back and came to a halt, the golden warrior charged him and leapt into the air for the killing blow. It was as if his opponent predicted such move that he moved forward at such fast speeds and avoided the hit. As the golden warrior descended onto an empty spot, his opponent spun around and thrusted his blade into the golden warriors armour and pierced it.

As the golden warrior let out a painful groan, he fell to the ground and his heavy armour clattered noisily. The blow was deadly and it was a perfect hit. As he struggled to get his spear, his opponent kicked it aside and picked him up by the head. The golden warrior however didn't move for he knew he had lost this battle. As the two stared at each other, his opponent thrusted his Swordspear through the golden warrior and came clean through the other side. Dropping the body, the victor picked it up and carried it off into the white abyss and disappeared from view.

"...the son of Gwyn emerged victorious. So this is the truth, or is it? Was this how Ornstein the great dragon slayer was killed?"

"Wait? Gwwho?"

"Nothing, you'll find out next time. So, what is your opinion on that fight?"

"Quick question, are this fucking gods?"

"Um…..maybe"

"What was that weird dude with that hair helmet? He seems like some sort of war God or something"

"Well….maybe, I don't know"

"Was that dragon armour he was wearing? Looks similar"

"Well, yes you're right there"

"Wait, is this a dragon slayer?"

"I can't answer too much boy. I am already stepping over the boundaries by even telling you what sort of armour he wears"

"Wait, why am I forbidden to learn such things?"

"Because, you have not met him. Only when you have met will the answers be revealed"

"This is pure bullshit"

"It's the way it works man, can't change it"

"Wow…..guess there's no changing your mind, I won't budge then"

"Wise choice. Although seeing this dream is something only a few should know about, I suggest keeping it a secret my friend"

"Hang on a second, what religion does this belong too?"

"None my friend, you'll soon see why"

"Alright, fine then"

As the connection cut, I was dragged out of the realm and placed back in my own world.

*next day

Spinning around in my chair, I couldn't stop thinking about the dream I had yesterday. The battle is what stained my head the most, it kept repeating and repeating, especially the part where the guy wearing golden armour was killed. Although Totenkopf said it might be a speculation, I had a feeling he was hiding something. The wielder of the Swordspear sent the chills down my spine. He had that deathly look and would kill you if he wanted to anyway. His size dwarfed you which struck fear into his enemies. That alone made my heart skip a beat. The amount of power showcased in that dream made the spirit's power look like firecrackers for Christ's sake. If such weapons truly existed, then may the lord help us all.

Hearing the alarm blare to life, my train of thought was cut short. Standing up, the monitors started displaying figures and readings of a nuclear threat.

"What's happening? Another satellite?"

"No sir, it's the DEM airship. It's returned and is carrying the same amounts of magical explosives carried on the satellites"

"What are they planning now for fucks sake?"

"Sir, collision course. Their gonna crash into the city and detonate the explosives"

"Shit! Move in to intercept"

Watching the monitor, the airship was still heavily damaged and black trails came out from different sides. It was moving very slowly. Suddenly, out of the blue, the ship exploded into a bright light and the speakers projected the loud audio sound rocking the room. The shock wave could be felt all the way shaking the ship slightly. Just like that, the DEM airship had been completely vaporized into thin air.

"What the hell happened?"

"Don't know sir, but I'm detecting a heat signature. Displaying it now"

As the monitor changed to a different view, it now showed a DEM wizard. Eyes growing wide in surprise, the DEM wizard wore an armour with the same design as Ellen's suit. It had different thruster designs and overall, the giant maryoku cannon she held was impressive. But that wasn't what I was gaping at, the user is who I was shocked to see. The wizard that was currently displayed on screen was none other than Origami Tobiichi herself.

"What…..? The Fuck?"

"Sir, is that?...Miss Tobiichi?"

"No shit it is, what the hell is she doing with DEM?"

"No clue sir, records haven't shown any enlistment. I would say someone with high power implemented her"

"Isaac...no, Ellen" I said sternly.

"Likely case sir"

"This is all the more shocking, just what drove her to join the company that tried to kill Shidou?"

"I don't know sir, humans are unpredictable"

"Indeed they are, hell I'm one of them after all"

"True sir, this is disturbing news indeed"

"Disturbing, quite the word" rubbing my chin and studying the screen carefully.

So, any Dark Souls fans here? You probably know who I'm referring too in the dream. Quick heads up, school has just started for me so it sorts of conflicts with my writing schedule. So expect maybe updates once every two days or so.
