-Chapter 05-
Written By
David Kenneth Lacey
In the low atmosphere of the planet Glenn, many Superior Weapons will be descending at a rapid pace. As they descend, at the front of the pack, three Divides will be seen. The lead unit will be holding the hands of both Divides behind it, to which inside, Commander Idris will be seen. He speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Faith? Grace? Can you two hear me?
Commander Idris says from his cockpit. Behind his Divide, both Faith and Grace will then speak to him.
Faith Nadir
Yes, Big brother Idris.
Grace Nadir
We are listening.
The two girls will say this with more confidence in their voices. Commander Idris continues.
Commander Idris Requiem
As we are just going to confront a new Confederation Divide, even though the pilots might be inexperienced, I still want you two to back me up. Alright?
Commander Idris says this out of care for the Nadir twins. They speak.
Faith Nadir
Sure thing.
While Faith will immeadiatly agree, Grace will then say this.
Grace Nadir
...Um, Idris?
Curious, Idris will speak to Grace.
Commander Idris Requiem
Yeah, Grace? What's up?
Grace Nadir
What happens if the original pilots of the Liberty ErotiCake get in the way?
Commander Idris will then speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
...If they are as good as they were 18 years ago, then we'll have to be wary of them moving forward. However, that outdated ErotiCake isn't our objective right now, so we'll just leave them to our complement of E-AndroIs behind us instead.
A brief shot of all of the AA Superior Weapons behind the three are then shown. As they are all E-AndroIs, they will obey their orders without question, to which Grace will then speak.
Grace Nadir
Alright.
After this, the AA force then falling down closer and closer to the enormous ash cloud and geomagnetic storms of the planet Glenn. There, just above the storms, the Hydra Noon will be seen-still flying towards the capital in the far distance. Now, Commander Idris moves his Divide to first let go of the Divides piloted by Faith and Grace. He then speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
E-AndroIs! Fan out and keep the Hydra Noon busy!
E-AndroIs
Confirmed!
Now, at Commander Idris's order, all of the Superior Weapons behind the three Divides then fan out, to which as they continue to descend, the Hydra Noon is seen-deploying it's defenses.
Many turrets emerge from all over the Hydra Noon, including large cannons that can be operated by Superior Weapons, to which as these weapons are deployed, within the Hydra Noon, many people are seen to be readying to be deployed. Elsewhere...
"TAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAPTAP"
Inside of another corridor, three girls are seen to be running. As they run, they are reveled to be Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya, as their breasts jiggle constantly with their running. As they then enter into the private hanger, they see-
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, the three girls enter onto a long catwalk that extends a short way out from them. In front of the three girls, a certain Blockade is seen to be already moving out. It's the Liberty ErotiCake, with it's hatch open. Inside, Bijou is seen. She speaks loudly over to Perle and Sabrina.
Bijou Luisant
You two are LATE!
Bijou says, with a slight frown on her face. Chole, Isaac and Noah look similar, as Perle responds.
Perle Luisant
I'm sorry, mother!
Sabrina then speaks up.
Sabrina Madison
However, isn't this the perfect opportunity for us?!
Sabrina says, as she then runs over to where the Tyranny ErotiCake is. Perle and Divitiya follow suit, as once they get into the cockpit and turn it on, the comms come alive as they get seated in. Chole speaks to her.
Chole Madison (comms)
...How do you see that?
As Perle gets ready to move the Tyranny ErotiCake, Sabrina responds, as she straps herself in. Divitiya is silent.
Sabrina Madison
What I meant by that is that there is no better way to learn quickly than to experience actual live combat, right?
Sabrina says with confidence. Isaac then speaks up to his daughter.
Isaac Carter (comms)
...You do have a point, Sabrina. However, are you two sure that you can pilot that ErotiCake properly?
Perle Luisant
!
As Perle now realizes something, Sabrina finishes up.
Sabrina Madison
Of course. We've trained for many years already with the Liberty ErotiCake before now, so I'm sure we can just move that skillset over to the Tyranny ErotiCake.
Divitiya Iran
...
Sabrina is confident in this claim, while Divitiya is silent. Noah then speaks up.
Noah Maverick (comms)
I hope so, Sabrina. We'll be launching with you, so we can keep an eye on you.
Now sensing the end of the conversation, Perle quickly speaks up.
Perle Luisant
...Hey? How come you guys keep saying "you two"? Don't you see Divitiya is here with us?
Perle will say with a hint of confusion. Now, while Bijou moves the Liberty ErotiCake forward past the Tyranny ErotiCake, Noah will speak.
Noah Maverick (comms)
Oh, we know Divitiya is there. However, that's not the reason why we are just singling out the two of you right now.
Curious, Perle will ask, as she follows the Liberty ErotiCake.
Perle Luisant
Ok...then, why?
Perle asks her father, as Isaac then explains.
Isaac Carter (comms)
It's just because we know that the two of you are the reason why you took so long to come to the bridge. Had Divitiya gone to the bridge alone, then the two of you could've gotten some time with the Tyranny ErotiCake-to which we are certain that Divitiya would've then returned faster than you two did.
Isaac will complement Divitiya, as while he will not trust her just yet, he, Noah, Bijou and Chole will all recognize how much more capable she is compared to both Perle and Sabrina. Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
Thank you for that complement, Isaac. You are wise to suggest that, as I wouldn't have played around while on the bridge.
Perle Luisant
"gasp"!
Sabrina Madison
Guh!
With Divitiya leaving both Perle and Sabrina to face the music, their parents will then snicker, as Bijou then moves the Liberty ErotiCake onto the launch pad. A second later, it is then sent upwards-just as Bijou turns it around and closes the hatch. As it rises, the Liberty ErotiCake then activates it's EffectPhase armor.
Back with Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya, the two will not respond to Divitiya's comment, as the praise from Isaac to Divitiya will cause both Perle and Sabrina some frustration. They will hold back speaking, though, as Perle then moves the Tyranny ErotiCake onto the launchpad next to the one that Bijou just used. Perle then lets out this-
Perle Luisant
...Humph!
Sabrina Madison
*So much for making up another excuse...!*
With a strong Humph, Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya will then move to the launchpad and then launch in the Tyranny ErotiCake. As they rise, they will activate their Next-EffectPhase armor, to which as they emerge from the Hydra Noon, they will then land on the surface of the ship-as the hanger behind them closes. Near them, the Liberty ErotiCake will also be seen on the Hydra Noon, to which around them, many Confederation Superior Weapons will be seen to be launching from the Hydra Noon. The Hydra Noon is large enough to allow for Blockades, Frontiers and Divides to walk freely along its upper hull and then sit in the turrets that are emerging from the ship, to which as the AA Superior Weapons are seen around the ship, they will then quickly approach.
As they approach, Captain Phillip will then be seen to contact the Liberty ErotiCake and the Tyranny ErotiCake-while then pressing some more buttons from his seat. This will then connect him to all other Superior Weapons-including the Superior Maneuvers, to which Captain Phillip speaks.
Captain Phillip Kai
Attention all pilots, please listen to my orders.
With the comms alive, Bijou, Perle and all of their friends will listen.
Bijou Luisant
!
Chole Madison
!
Isaac Carter
!
Noah Maverick
!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
...
Elsewhere, many other characters will be seen inside of their Superior Weapons to listen to what Captain Phillip, including Teresa, Terese, Ardrian, London and their children. Now, Captain Phillip will speak from his bridge, as he, Advisor Robin and the rest of his bridge staff are seen to be just finishing up their meals and be throwing the trash away into a trashcan next to them.
Captain Phillip Kai
...Currently, we have counted over 100 AA Superior Weapons approaching us from both our port and starboard sides. ...Personally, I'm surprised that the Ascension even knew that we were traveling along this route, as we only just had a talk with Chairwoman Francoise and these orders seem secretive.
Noah Maverick
...
Now, along with Chole and Isaac, Noah will be shown to be silent, as Bijou then speaks up.
Bijou Luisant
...Phillip? Forget about that for now, as you need to give out some orders right away!
Stern as always, this will surprise Phillip, as Bijou is still his superior of sorts. He will speak in a hurried manner-at first, but then slowly calm down.
Captain Phillip Kai
Ah-YES! Right! Sorry about that...
Captain Phillip Kai
We will be keeping most of our Blockades and Frontiers on the Hydra Noon-until the situation changes, as we can't use the full capabilities of the Hydra Noon for this battle. The only forces that I'll allow to leave the ship to confront the Ascension for now will be the Superior Maneuvers. Those are your orders, so move out!
With Captain Phillip's orders, many Blockades and Frontiers will then move out from the Hydra Noon to then mount up onto the turrets that have been deployed. As they do, many Superior Manuvers will then be seen to fly out, to which as the AA Superior Weapons are within firing range, Captain Phillip will then speak to Nai-omi.
Captain Phillip Kai
Nai-omi! Main batteries, FIRE!
Nai-omi
Yes, Captain!
In unison with the main batteries of the Hydra Noon, the turrets that are being controlled by the Confederation Blockades and Confederation Frontiers will then fire directly at the AA Superior Weapons. Most of their shots will miss hitting the AA Superior Weapons, as they then return fire with rockets. As they are fired towards the Hydra Noon, Nai-omi speaks.
Nai-omi
Captain Phillip! The Ascension are firing missiles directly towards me!
Nai-omi will say this with concern in her tone. In response, Captain Phillip will speak.
Captain Phillip Kai
Tch! Quickly, Nai-omi! Concentrate the targeting of the turrets and have them target those missiles. Hurry!
Nai-omi
Right!
Now, it's shown that Nai-omi can directly interface with the targeting of the Blockades and Frontiers operating the turrets. She then helps each individual pilot within the Superior Weapons quickly target the missiles approaching the Hydra Noon, to which they all are able to then target them and destroy them.
"EXPLOUSIONS!"
However, as the explosions occur, these missiles are then reveled to have been filled with large amounts of dense smoke, which now covers the incoming AA Superior Weapons and blocks them out from view. Now, the AA Superior Weapons fire their regular energy weapons at the Hydra Noon, which now begins to inflict damage onto the Hydra Noon. Nai-omi cries out in pain as this happens.
Nai-omi
Ah! Gh! Pwah!
Captain Phillip Kai
N-Nai-omi!
Captain Phillip cries out, as he and Advisor Robin hear Nai-omi in pain. She continues.
Nai-omi
Th-they are hurting me! Argh!
As the attacks from the AA Superior Weapons continues, Captain Phillip yells out-
Captain Phillip Kai
Kh-what are our Superior Maneuvers doing?!
Now outside, many of the Superior Maneuvers are seen to fly head-first into the dense smoke in front of them. However, due to the poor visibility, some of the pilots speak.
Superior Maneuver Pilot 01
Dammit, I can't see a thing!
He says, as his Superior Maneuver flies through the dense smoke. Another pilot speaks.
Superior Maneuver Pilot 02
Are we just expected to fire blindly?!
She says, as she fires a few shots into the dense smoke. However, all of her attacks miss, as many of the Superior Maneuvers then emerge from the opposite side. As they begin to turn themselves around, back on the bridge of the Hydra Noon, Advisor Robin speaks.
Advisor Robin Blue
The Superior Maneuvers are having trouble targeting the enemy due to the dense smoke! We need another plan, and fast!
Advisor Raul says, as Nai-omi continues to cry out in pain from the damage to the Hydra Noon. Upon seeing her in more pain, Captain Phillip then speaks.
Captain Phillip Kai
Superior Maneuver teams! Disengage and return to protecting the Hydra Noon at once!
Captain Phillip Kai
Frontier teams! Cease attacking the AA with the Hydra Noon's turrets and launch in all directions immediately to engage the AA forces in the dense clouds.
Captain Phillip Kai
Blockade teams! Hold your fire until the Frontier teams get the AA Superior Weapons out of that dense smoke! Once you have a clear shot at the Ascension-take them down!
Captain Phillip Kai
Bijou! ...And Perle... Continue to back up the Blockade teams with our turrets! Hurry!
With their orders received, Bijou comments with-
Bijou Luisant
...Good choice...however, what about those lights above us...?
While Bijou will complement Phillip for his orders, as she will think something is off about this attack, as high above the Hydra Noon and the battle, many lights will be seen. It will then be revealed that the three AA Divides and a small number of AA Superior Weapons are seen observing the battle from above, to which inside of the lead Divide, Commander Idris will be seen to patiently await the appropriate time to strike.
Back below, as the Liberty ErotiCake boards a turret, Perle will then also move the Tyranny ErotiCake to board a turret and will then begin to wait for her chance to strike, as the Frontiers then engage the AA Superior Weapons within the dense smoke. As this happens, the Confederation Frontiers will then slowly confront the AA Superior Weapons hiding behind the dense smoke and will then engage with them, to which as they begin to fight, the Confederation Frontiers will then quickly gain the upperhand against the inferior AA Superior Weapons. The Confederation Frontiers will then manage to push out many of the AA Superior Weapons from the dense smoke, to which with them exposed, Captain Phillip will then speak.
Captain Phillip Kai
Nai-omi! Fire the turrets at the exposed enemy!
Nai-omi
Got it, Master!
Now, Nai-omi will be seen to take aim at the Ascension Superior Weapons that are pushed out into the open. As she fires, she will speak.
Nai-omi
...Feel my revenge, you flies..."giggle"
As the turrets take aim, Nai-omi will then have them fire at the AA Superior Weapons. The blasts that come from the Hydra Noon are so immense and so powerful that one shot is enough to destroy several AA Superior Weapons at once. Nai-omi continues to laugh, as she fires at the enemy.
Nai-omi
FUFUFUFU...KHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sadistic as she is, Nai-omi will continue to fire at the AA Superior Weapons, destroy several more with the turrets of the Hydra Noon. As she does, above the battlefield, Commander Idris will see his forces below having trouble with the Confederation, to which he will then speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Dammit. It looks like even the E-AndroIs are having trouble down there...
Commander Idris says, as several more AA Superior Weapons are destroyed. With that, he then speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
Attention remaining E-AndroIs. Follow us down there and back us up! We are going to be drawing out that unknown ErotiCake right now!
Commander Idris says, as he then has his Divide look over to both Faith and Grace's Divides. He speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Pinna-...I mean, N-Twins. Follow me.
Commander Idris still says this in an awkward tone, but neither Faith or Grace will care about that right now, as they then speak.
Faith Nadir
Right!
Grace Nadir
...Let's go!
As the three make their decent with their remaining AA Superior Weapons behind them, all of them will make skillful maneuvers, easily evading the incoming fire from below. As they come up to the area in front of the Hydra Noon, they will do so behind the dense cloud, to which several stray shots will fly toward Idris, Faith and Grace. In response, they will now draw their large Buster Swords and manage to deflect the incoming weapon fire, to which as Commander Idris feels the blast of energy, he speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
GHHK!
Commander Idris will barely be able to deflect a blast from the Hydra Noon, as his blade will just graze the blast. However, even that will be nearly too much for Commander Idris to handle, as he comments about the strength of the blast he just blocked.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Damn, the Confederation really do have some incredible tech on their side!
Commander Idris says, as he then deflects several more incoming blasts from the Confederation Frontiers-which are more easily blocked. After this, the dense smoke clouds begin to disperse, to which Commander Idris is able to see the Hydra Noon through the smoke clouds. A shape will draw his attention, as he speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
...! Is that...the Confederation's new ErotiCake?!
Now, close to the bridge of the Hydra Noon, Commander Idris will zoom in and will see both the Tyranny ErotiCake and Liberty ErotiCake, of which are firing their turrets while sitting in the seats of them. Commander Idris will then speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
What a striking design...however, now's not the time for admiration, as at this rate we won't be able to investigate it! We need some way to lure it out here...
Now, Grace will speak to Commander Idris.
Grace Nadir
Idris! Look there!
Commander Idris Requiem
Hm?!
Now, Grace will have her Divide point to the areas to their left, where many Confederation Frontiers are still seen to be firing inside of the dispersing smoke clouds. Their actions and close proximity will then hint to Commander Idris what he needs to do.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Ah!
Faith will then speak what Grace was thinking.
Faith Nadir
Those Confederation Frontiers might go down easily enough, which might just prompt that new ErotiCake to move in to support them! Shall we try it?!
Without even thinking, Commander Idris replies.
Commander Idris Requiem
Yeah! Follow me!
Faith Nadir
Yes!
Grace Nadir
Yes!
Now, Commander Idris moves his Divide to swoop down and make a pass at some of the Confederation Frontiers close by. However, as he swings his Divide's sword at one of the Confederation Frontiers, this happens-
"CLANK!"
Commander Idris Requiem
GUH!
Just as Commander Idris swings his Divide's Buster Sword at one of the Frontiers, the blade suddenly bounces off, to which Commander Idris speaks quickly.
Commander Idris Requiem
Damn it! Do we need to also use the maximum power for even their Superior Weapons?!
Commander Idris says, as he then instantly engages his Divide's Buster Sword maximum power setting. Then, while using the repulsion of the previous swing, he then turns his Divide around 360-style and then activates the maximum power setting on his Divide's Buster Sword. As he does this, Commander Idris then quickly activates his Divide's comms, in order to speak to the Confederation pilot-
Commander Idris Requiem (Comms)
Confederation Pilot! EJECT, NOW!
Confederation Frontier Pilot #1
?!
Now, Commander Idris drives his Divide's blade into the Confederation Frontier that just negated his attack. The blade is now powerful enough to cut and then slice cleanly through the Confederation Frontier side, to which the surprised pilot then quickly speaks-
Confederation Frontier Pilot #1
DAMMIT! I have to eject before-
Moments later, the pilot engages the eject protocol, which causes his Frontier to automatically eject him out of the Frontier via a small shuttle. Moments before the Frontier erupts destroyed, Commander Idris then moves his Divide away from it, as an explosion soon follows.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
With the destruction of one of the Confederation Frontiers, Commander Idris then speaks quickly to Faith and Grace. However, he calls them by-
Commander Idris Requiem
Pinnacle Twins! Engage your Buster Swords maximum power setting! That's the only way to destroy these Confederation Frontiers!
Faith Nadir
!
Grace Nadir
!
Commander Idris Requiem
And try to not aim to kill, as that's not our objective right now! Our mission is to investigate that unknown ErotiCake over there-not kill people! Remember that!
Without even waiting for their reply, Commander Idris moves his Divide to then slice apart Confederation Frontier after Confederation Frontier-but making sure to NOT aim for their cockpits. As he does this, each time he swings his Divide's sword, an escape pod is seen to eject from the Frontier BEFORE the explosions occur, to which as Faith and Grace then move in behind him, they then come across many more Confederation Frontiers.
"Approaching Confederation Frontiers"
There are easily over 50 Confederation Frontiers staring the two down. However, both girls are unfazed, as they then react instantly.
Faith Nadir
!
Grace Nadir
!
Now, both Faith and Grace demonstrate their incredible skill in combat by first engaging their Divide's Buster Sword's maximum power setting and then flying together into the air. They then easily manage to destroy countless numbers of Confederation Frontiers by themselves. They also do this by ensuring that all of the Confederation Pilots escape with their lives, to which as the Confederation Frontiers are destroyed by the dozens, some of the pilots cry out from their escape shuttles-
Random Confederation Frontier Pilot 01
W-What the hell?! There were 56 of us, and now there are only 15 left!
Random Confederation Frontier Pilot 02
Just who the hell are those two?!
They say, as several more Confederation Frontiers in the area are destroyed by Grace-forcing their pilots to eject. Among the remaining forces, they will now be shown to have their jaws wide open, to which above them, Faith then swoops down to destroy their Frontiers. She says-
Faith Nadir
...Fall...
Grace Nadir
Howard Pinnacle!
Faith and Grace say, as the secret to how both her and Grace manage so much destruction is now reveled. Before the random pilots can even defend themselves, all they can do is-
Random Confederation Frontier Pilot 01
AUUUUUUUUGHHHHHH!
Random Confederation Frontier Pilot 02
EJEEEEEEECT!
A second later, Faith uses her Divide to slice the two Frontiers perfectly in half, thus causing an explosion to follow. Their pilots also escape with their lives, thanks to their Frontiers having escape pods.
Back on the bridge of the Hydra Noon, the situation will be seen to be happening on the starboard side, to which Nai-omi will speak to Captain Phillip about the situation.
Nai-omi
Hah...hah...Oh! Captain Phillip? Our starboard flank is crumbling at the hands of three AA Divides.
Captain Phillip Kai
What?!
Advisor Robin Blue
Hm!
Now alerted, Captain Phillip will look out to the area through the bridge screen next to him and see that what Nai-omi just said is true. Nai-omi continues.
Nai-omi
It is most likely that these AA Divides are piloted by "Ace Pilots" of the Ascension. What are your orders?
Captain Phillip Kai
...
Captain Phillip will have to give this some thought-however, unknown to him, his comms with both Perle and Bijou will now be seen to still be on, as he didn't turn it off due to his hurry to help Nai-omi earlier. Thus, now outside along some of the guns, Perle, Bijou and their friends will hear the situation. Perle speaks up.
Perle Luisant
...Did you guys hear that?!
Perle will say this with an expression that hints she's getting excited. Sabrina will then speak.
Sabrina Madison
Yeah. Nai-omi just said that there are "Ace Pilots" to the right of the Hydra Noon.
Now, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Are you two possibly considering engaging against Ace Pilots of the Ascension?
Divitiya will say this loud enough for Captain Phillip and Bijou/her friends to hear. Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
Absolutely-
Now, Bijou will cut Perle off.
Bijou Luisant
NOT!
Chole Madison
HAPPENING!
Both Bijou and Chole will say, causing both Perle and Sabrina to be surprised by their voices.
Perle Luisant
Wha?!
Sabrina Madison
Huh?!
Just like that, Captain Phillip will then reply.
Captain Phillip Kai
Damn it! I forgot to turn this thing off...
Now, in defiance, both Perle and Sabrina will speak.
Perle Luisant
M-mother?!
Sabrina Madison
Why not?!
Instead of Bijou speaking, Captain Phillip will instead speak what she was about to say.
Captain Phillip Kai
These are possibly Ace Pilots that are engaging our Frontiers right now, you two. Of course, your parents don't want you two to engage with them because they are clearly trouble!
With Captain Phillip's words are the truth, to which Chole will then speak.
Chole Madison
...We were literally just about to say the exact same thing to the two of you.
Now, Sabrina will then speak up.
Sabrina Madison
But mother! Don't you remember what I said earlier?! About how this is an opportune time for us to get better familiarized with the Tyranny ErotiCake?!
Chole Madison
I do.
Chole will say this, with a hint of hesitation in her voice, which will prompt Sabrina to continue speaking.
Sabrina Madison
Then, what better way to do that than to engage with enemies that can actually put up a fight, instead of practice AndroIs that we've bested a million times by now?!
Just as Sabrina says this, Perle will have the Tyranny ErotiCake fire a shot into the air above the disappearing smoke clouds, which will destroy two AA Superior Weapons in a single shot. Despite this, Chole will then speak with even more hesitation.
Chole Madison
That is true-
Now, Bijou will put her hand onto Chole's shoulder, as she then speaks.
Bijou Luisant
HOWEVER...Perle and Sabrina...there will be a better time for you two to train some other time-when it's much safer than right now. Engaging with enemies that are considered strong isn't bravery-it's just a sure-fire way of getting yourselves killed!
Perle Luisant
Ghrgh...
Sabrina Madison
Rghh...
Now, both Perle and Sabrina will be visibly angry at still being treated like children. Despite this, Bijou will still try to impress onto them to listen to her warning, by moving the Liberty ErotiCake out of the gunnery seat it's currently in and then rushing over to where the Tyranny ErotiCake is sitting. Bijou then speaks this-
Bijou Luisant
Listen to me, Perle! Do. Not. Mo-
Just as Bijou puts the hand of the Liberty ErotiCake onto the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle will then react-
Perle Luisant (Tyranny ErotiCake)
!
Bijou Luisant (Liberty ErotiCake)
!
Now, Perle will move the Tyranny ErotiCake out of the seat that it was sitting in and then move the Tyranny ErotiCake into the direction that Commander Idris, Faith and Grace are in. As she does this, Perle will state this-
Perle Luisant
STOP TREATING US LIKE CHILDREN!
Bijou Luisant
Perle! STOP!
Now, Perle will move the Tyranny ErotiCake away from the Hydra Noon, leaving her mother and father behind. As this happens, Captain Phillip will see the situation, as Nai-omi speaks.
Nai-omi
Unauthorized launch of the Tyranny ErotiCake confirmed from turret #73! They are heading towards the three AA Ace Pilots along my starboard side!
Captain Phillip Kai
!...
Advisor Robin Blue
!...
Concerned, both men will lean forward, as the Tyranny ErotiCake blasts away from the Hydra Noon. Nai-omi speaks.
Nai-omi
...Shall I take control of the Tyranny ErotiCake and bring it back, Captain Phillip?
Captain Phillip Kai
...
Before Phillip can reply, Bijou contacts him. She speaks.
Bijou Luisant (comms)
Cancel that order, Nai-omi! We'll go and bring them back ourselves!
Bijou says, as she moves the Liberty ErotiCake off of the Hydra Noon. As it flies off, it doesn't move as fast as the Tyranny ErotiCake just did, to which Captain Phillip replies to Bijou.
Captain Phillip Kai
Bijou-
Now, Bijou cuts off Captain Phillip, as she says this.
Bijou Luisant
Don't worry about Perle and Sabrina. Even though we don't want them to fight, this will be a valuable learning experience for them to see how dangerous things can get out here.
Captain Phillip Kai
!...I see. Then, I'll leave everything in your hands, Bijou.
Bijou Luisant
Thanks.
After saying this, Bijou moves the Liberty ErotiCake forward and gives chase to the Tyranny ErotiCake.
A short way ahead, back with Commander Idris, Faith and Grace, more and more Confederation Frontiers are now destroyed by their combined efforts. As they then land, they speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Alright. With our Buster Swords maximum setting, these Confederation Frontiers are no match for us...
Commander Idris says this, as he checks over some of his Divide's specs from his seat. As he finishes, he then speaks to himself.
Commander Idris Requiem
*...However, this is still quite a problem, as I can only imagine how hard things are for my friends across the Confederation. We need to get the D2s finalized, as their swords will be 4 times more powerful than these D1s...though, I wonder how the RF and Foundation militaries are building their Superior Weapons...?*
After thinking this to himself, Grace will speak to Commander Idris in a rushed fashion.
Grace Nadir(comms)
Idris! Look!
Commander Idris Requiem
Hm?!
Now, just ahead of their current location, the Tyranny ErotiCake will be seen to be fast approaching them from just above the ash and geomagnetic storms. As they skim across the storms, they will blaze a trail behind them, to which inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, Perle and Sabrina both look serious.
Perle Luisant
Grr!
Sabrina Madison
Go and get them, Perle! GO!
Behind them in the cockpit, Divitiya is seen-lazily watching both Perle and Sabrina from behind.
Divitiya Iran
...
As Divitiya watches Sabrina goad Perle on towards battle, Divitiya will then secretly prepare to engage something from her seat's monitor. However, just before Divitiya can activate whatever she was about to do, she will get a secret comms from Chairwoman Francoise. She speaks to Divitiya, secretly.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Wait, Divitiya!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, Divitiya will take her finger off of the switch that was just about to be pressed in front of her. Chairwoman Francoise will then explain.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
I know that you want to help out both Perle and Sabrina as their mentor. However, now isn't the time for the Ascension to see what the Tyranny ErotiCake is truly capable of. As such, you are not to engage the "secret functions" of the Tyranny ErotiCake at this time. Is that clear?
Divitiya Iran
...I understand.
Divitiya will say this without hesitation. Chairwoman Francoise continues.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
As stated before by Bijou, there will be a time and place when you can engage those features-but now isn't that time. For now, you are to observe how Perle and Sabrina preform, as weather or not they win or lose this battle, the AA pilots of those three Divides won't be able to damage the Tyranny ErotiCake...that much.
Divitiya Iran will now be shown to be curious of Chairwoman Francoise's claim. She speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...How can you be so sure, Chairwoman Francoise?
Francoise will respond.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
Because...there is a spy somewhere in our mists, funneling information to the Ascension and vise-versa.
Divitiya Iran
What?!
Just as the Tyranny ErotiCake is about to engage in battle with the three AA Divides, Chairwoman Francoise will finish up.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
I'll tell you more about this after this battle. For now, simply do as I've just instructed you.
Just as Chairwoman Francoise ends the secret comms, Perle and Sabrina will be seen, rapidly approaching the three AA Divides. As the Tyranny ErotiCake zooms in on the three AA Divides, Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
Let's see how you like THIS?!
Now, Perle will move the Tyranny ErotiCake to take out one of the enormous blades from its back-which is next to a huge cannon-type weapon in the middle of the Tyranny ErotiCake's back. As it does this, Perle will then wield this blade, to which it's length will be almost as long as the Tyranny ErotiCake itself. After a short display, Perle will scream out-
Perle Luisant
EAT THIS!
Now, Perle will attempt to catch Commander Idris, Faith and Grace off guard. However, Commander Idris will be unfazed, as he simply does this-
Commander Idris Requiem
...Hmph. What an amateur!
Now, before the Tyranny ErotiCake can swing it's enormous blade down, Commander Idris will simply raise his Divide's hand into the air and take aim at the Tyranny ErotiCake's face. Then, an energy blast will come from the hand of his Divide, to which as it comes out, the beam will travel in the air and then hit the Tyranny ErotiCake's face directly.
Perle Luisant
WAUGHH!
Sabrina Madison
AGUHHH!
As both Perle and Sabrina scream out at being shot at, the blast will cause the Tyranny ErotiCake to fly backwards and dive down into the Ash storms below. Divitiya is unaffected.
Divitiya Iran
...
As the Tyranny ErotiCake falls backwards, it will then enter into the ash storms below, to which Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Perle! Regain control of the Tyranny ErotiCake, as we can't stay in this ash storm for long!
Divitiya says, as Perle will now be seen to have her eyes closed. She will then open her eyes and then manage to stop the Tyranny ErotiCake from continuing to fall, however, just as the Tyranny ErotiCake comes to a stop-
Perle Luisant
MGGngh...Huh?!-
Now, the Tyranny ErotiCake's armor will be seen to be becoming hotter and hotter, as it heats up due to the heat from within the ash storm. Sabrina speaks.
Sabrina Madison
Perle! Hurry and fly us back up above the ash storm!
Perle Luisant
!
Now, Perle will have the Tyranny ErotiCake fly back up the way it just fell down. However, just as it emerges from the ash storm-
Perle Luisant
GASP!
Sabrina Madison
Oh no!
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, hovering directly above Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya in the Tyranny ErotiCake will be Commander Idris in his Divide, as he looks down at the Tyranny ErotiCake below him. He then moves, to which behind him, Faith and Grace will then swoop in-
Commander Idris Requiem
Go and take them on, Nadir Twins!
Faith Nadir
Gladly.
Grace Nadir
I'll take it down now!
With Commander Idris out of the way, both Faith and Grace will move in to begin slicing at the Tyranny ErotiCake. Their strikes will damage the Tyranny ErotiCake, as Perle and Sabrina will not be able to move from the constant strikes. They speak.
Perle Luisant
GH! RGH! MGH!
As more and more strikes come from Faith and Grace, Perle will say-
Perle Luisant
GRRR! Damn it!
With how poorly Perle is doing, Sabrina will now offer her some advice.
Sabrina Madison
Perle! Ascend some more! Quickly!
Clearly frustrated, Perle will reply to Sabrina-
Perle Luisant
Y-you don't think I'm TRYING?!
Perle says, as she struggles to move the Tyranny ErotiCake from its current position, as it hangs just above the ash storms. As the Tyranny ErotiCake is repeatedly attacked, Perle is forced to have the Tyranny ErotiCake fold its arms over its body in order to protect itself, to which the attacks from both Faith and Grace continue.
As Faith and Grace continue to strike at Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya in the Tyranny ErotiCake, Commander Idris watches the poor display and then speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
...If THIS is the best the pilots of that Divide can muster, then they aren't even worthy of a full report back to Azalea and Media...
Now, Commander Idris takes a closer look at Faith and Grace attacking the Tyranny ErotiCake. Although both still have the maximum power settings active on their Buster Swords, they can't seem to be able to slice the Tyranny ErotiCake apart-unlike the Confederation Frontiers from before. This will cause Commander Idris to speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Interesting. Even though those two have the maximum power settings on their Buster Swords active, they still can't seem to cut through that ErotiCake-unlike the Frontiers from before. Is its armor comparable to that ship-the Hydra Noon?
Commander Idris says, as he takes another look at the Hydra Noon in the distance. Back with Faith and Grace on the ground, they will continue to strike in turns at Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya in the Tyranny ErotiCake, until Perle has just about had enough-
Perle Luisant
Gah! THAT'S ENOUGH!
With clenched teeth, Perle will now manage to move the Tyranny ErotiCake up and into the air-away from the repeated attacks coming from both Faith and Grace. However, Commander Idris will react by moving his Divide into the air on top of the Tyranny ErotiCake, to which Perle and Sabrina will see-
Perle Luisant
GUH! WHAT?!
Sabrina Madison
ACK!
Divitiya Iran
...!
Now, Commander Idris is seen.
Commander Idris Requiem
!
Commander Idris will now move his Divide to strike at the Tyranny ErotiCake with all of his Divide's might. However, just before the blade cuts through the cockpit, Perle will manage to raise both arms of the Tyranny ErotiCake above itself, to which Commander Idris's Buster Sword will then deeply cut into. However, as the blade begins to cut through the Tyranny ErotiCake's arms, the blade will then shatter, to which Commander Idris will react with surprise.
"BREAK!"
Commander Idris Requiem
!...Woah...
As the Tyranny ErotiCake flies backwards from the attack, both Perle and Sabrina will be seen to be screaming from being knocked backwards.
Perle Luisant
AAAAAAARGHHH!
Sabrina Madison
AUUGHHHHH!
Divitiya Iran
...
After the screams of both Perle and Sabrina are heard, inside, Divitiya is seen to be unaffected by the sudden blow. As both Faith and Grace join with Commander Idris, they remark-
Faith Nadir
...Hmph...
Grace Nadir
Simply pathetic...!
Now, Grace will spot something coming at both her and Faith nearby. She will react-
Grace Nadir
Faith! Big brother Idris! Look out!
Faith Nadir
Hm?!
Commander Idris Requiem
Huh?!
Now, Grace will tell Faith to look out at something approaching them, which will be a beam of energy from the Liberty Blaster. Faith will see it, to which Grace will then lead herself and Grace away from the incoming blast by rising into the air. Commander Idris will also do the same, to which he will speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
Watch out, you two! It's-
Before Commander Idris can finish, the Liberty ErotiCake will speed into the area-as it then disengages it's Liberty Blaster and then wields it's Liberty Assault Rifles in both of it's hands. As it does, Bijou will then see the Tyranny ErotiCake defeated in the air and then speak to both Perle and Sabrina through her comms.
Bijou Luisant
Perle?!
Chole Madison
Sabrina?!
Noah Maverick
Can you hear us?!
Now nearly screaming on the comms, both Perle and Sabrina will barely manage to speak from the comms in the Tyranny ErotiCake to Bijou.
Perle Luisant
Gahh...I'm...fine...
Sabrina Madison
Hah...Hah...Hah...
As both Perle and Sabrina struggle to get the Tyranny ErotiCake moving, all they will be able to do is have it put away it's Tyranny Buster Sword, as then both of the arms are then too destroyed to move anymore. Just as that happens, Bijou and her friends will then fly towards Commander Idris, Faith and Grace, to which Bijou will then quickly speak to both Perle and Sabrina.
Isaac Carter
I'm glad you two are alright...
Noah Maverick
...Hopefully this will convince you two just how dangerous things can get out here. War isn't a game-it's a struggle of life and death...
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Upon hearing Noah's words, both girls will be seen to flinch, as Bijou then takes control of the situation. She now engages in combat with the three AA Divides by herself in the Liberty ErotiCake, as she rushes to confront them. As they fight, however, Bijou will not have a physical weapon like the Divides do, as the Liberty ErotiCake just comes equipped with two Assault rifles and the Liberty Blaster on its back. Despite these drawbacks AND the fact that the Liberty ErotiCake is vastly outdated when compared to the three AA Divides, Bijou and her friend's skills will allow them to keep up and even overtake both Faith and Grace now. Bijou will then end the skirmish by managing to knock away both Faith and Grace, to which as Commander Idris moves in, Bijou will use the heel of the Liberty ErotiCake's right foot to stop the split Buster Sword that Commander Idris uses. This move will cause him to speak.
Commander Idris Requiem
..Hm! Very impressive...
Bijou Luisant
!
Now, Commander Idris will disengage from the fight, as he moves his Divide away. Faith and Grace will join him, as he then looks at where the Tyranny ErotiCake is. He will see that it's now just managed to come up to where the Liberty ErotiCake is in the air, to which Bijou will then move the Liberty ErotiCake in front of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Now, Commander Idris will react.
Commander Idris Requiem
!
Now, Commander Idris will turn on the comms in front of him-but this comms is actually an intercom that allows his voice to be heard outside of his Divide. He speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem (intercoms)
I believe we've seen enough today.
Bijou Luisant
!
Chole Madison
!
Isaac Carter
!
Noah Maverick
!
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
...!
Everyone in their respective Superior Weapons is surprised by the sudden voice coming from the AA Divide in front of them. Commander Idris continues.
Commander Idris Requiem (intercoms)
...Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Commander Idris Requiem, and I have a short announcement to make to the pilots of that ErotiCake...and that new ErotiCake as well.
Now, Commander Idris now has his Divide point out over to where Perle and Sabrina are both barely managing to keep the Tyranny ErotiCake flying-while still behind the Liberty ErotiCake. She and Sabrina flinch in fear in the cockpit, as Commander Idris moves his Divide's hand to point at them.
Perle Luisant
Gah!
Sabrina Madison
Mgh!
Divitiya Iran
...
Both Perle and Sabrina are visibly worried. However, Commander Idris simply speaks to them this-
Commander Idris Requiem (intercoms)
...I have now concluded that whoever the pilots of that ErotiCake...cowering in fear behind the Liberty ErotiCake like that are the ones responsible for the blunder earlier yesterday. Thus, I must say that whoever they truly are...are not worth our time moving forward.
Perle Luisant
What did he just say?!
Sabrina Madison
Wh-who does he think he is?!
With Commander Idris' rude comment towards Perle and Sabrina, Bijou and her friends will take immediate notice.
Bijou Luisant
!
Chole Madison
!
Isaac Carter
!
Noah Maverick
!
After this, Commander Idris will then move his Divide's hand towards the Liberty ErotiCake. Then, he will speak.
Commander Idris Requiem (intercoms)
As for you...I would greatly appreciate it if the four pilots in the Liberty ErotiCake would accept my invitation to become my new rivals from now on. Even with such an outdated Superior Weapon from 18 years ago, you have shown us that you have some actual skill-unlike those weaklings behind you.
As if adding more salt into the wounds, Perle and Sabrina will take offense to this belittlement in front of them. Perle will speak.
Perle Luisant
...Don't you know...who we are?!
Sabrina Madison
Our parents...are war heroes!
Perle and Sabrina will be seen to be getting visibly angry, as tears form in their eyes. However, before either of them can do anything, Divitiya will speak to them.
Divitiya Iran
Easy, you two...
Perle will then speak, in anger, while turning her head to look at Divitiya. Sabrina will do the same-
Perle Luisant
But Divitiya-
Divitiya will then cut Perle off.
Divitiya Iran
Just listen!
Perle Luisant
Kh!
Sabrina Madison
Ngh!
Upon hearing how serious Divitiya sounds, both Perle and Sabrina will fall silent. They will then turn back their heads and look down in silent anger.
Perle Luisant
...Alright...
Sabrina Madison
...
Back with Bijou and her friends, they will then be seen-still contemplating the offer that Commander Idris has given them. Inside of the Liberty ErotiCake-
Bijou Luisant
...
Chole Madison
...
Isaac Carter
...
Noah Maverick
...
None of them respond. Commander Idris takes the hint and speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem (intercoms)
...Hmph. You are smart to not respond, as that would indicate to me if the pilots of the Liberty ErotiCake and that new ErotiCake were or were not the same individuals. I like that.
Now, Noah will speak. The intercoms of the Liberty ErotiCake will be turned off.
Noah Maverick
...That pilot...is intelligent.
Bijou will speak.
Bijou Luisant
Yeah. I was concerned about this, but now our suspicions are confirmed...
Chole and Isaac then finish speaking by saying.
Chole Madison
We'll have to be a lot more careful moving forward.
Isaac Carter
Yeah...
With that, back with Commander Idris, he will then look at his Divides' specs and see-
Commander Idris Requiem
...!
Now, Commander Idris will see that more and more of his E-AndroIs are being destroyed by the Confederation and the Hydra Noon. Thus, he then cuts his intercom and then speaks to Faith and Grace. As he does, he then speaks.
Commander Idris Requiem
...Attention all remaining E-AndroIs. Disengage with the Confederation at once and follow us back to the Tenebris Root in space!
Now, all across the battlefield around the Hydra Noon, the smoke clouds will be seen to have disappeared completely. At the same time, many AA Superior Weapons will now disengage from the battle with the Hydra Noon and it's defenders. As they stop firing, the Confederation soon does the same, as all of the AA Superior Weapons will then fly back towards where Commander Idris, Faith and Grace are. With that, Commander Idris will speak, as he turns his Divide away from the Liberty ErotiCake and Tyranny ErotiCake.
Commander Idris Requiem
Faith. Grace. We are leaving now.
With that, Commander Idris has his Divide speed away from the Liberty ErotiCake and Tyranny ErotiCake. Faith and Grace follow after him, as all of the remaining AA Superior Weapons then fly back into space. As they do so, they pass over the Liberty ErotiCake and Tyranny ErotiCake, to which the battle will then end.
Sometime later, back with Perle and Sabrina inside the Tyranny ErotiCake, as they land close to the hanger that they emerged from earlier. The Liberty ErotiCake will be close by, to which both Perle and Sabrina will be left speechless.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Now, Divitiya will speak to the two of them.
Divitiya Iran
...I hope that served as a lesson to the two of you.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Now, both girls will slowly turn their heads to look at Divitiya, who will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
Just because you could make a snarky retort to the enemy, by doing so might open the door to your enemy learning more information from you, due to your current mindset. Thus, I deeply hope that the two of you will remember this encounter for a long time, as another blunder like before will not be tolerated.
While Divitiya's words sound cruel, she will be sincere as she says this, to which both Perle and Sabrina will then look back to looking forward. Both will then see just how much the Tyranny ErotiCake got damaged today and will then remain silent.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Now outside, Bijou will then move the Liberty ErotiCake closer to the damaged Tyranny ErotiCake. As she comes closer, Perle and Sabrina are still silent inside.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
With Bijou and her friends as close as possible, they will then grab ahold of the Tyranny ErotiCake and then speak.
Bijou Luisant
...Perle?! Sabrina?!
Chole Madison
Are you two alright in there?!
Now, both Perle and Sabrina will still be silent-even though they can still hear their parents asking about their safety.
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Out of concern for their silence, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
Bijou. Both Perle and Sabrina can hear you, but...
Isaac will then assume.
Isaac Carter
Are they...ignoring us?
Noah will speak.
Noah Maverick
Or are they just so crushed by being defeated that they don't want to say anything...?
The four will be concerned and confused. Inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake's cockpit, Divitiya will then speak to both girls.
Divitiya Iran
...Hey, Perle? Sabrina? It isn't nice to ignore your parents like this...!
Now, as Divitiya says this, Perle and Sabrina will finally react-
Perle Luisant
PWAAAAHAHAHAHA!
Sabrina Madison
Wow, what a battle that was!
Everyone
?!
Everyone will react with surprise to Perle's suddenly bursting out this sound. Sabrina will then speak, as both girls lean back in their seats-with stary eyes. Sabrina speaks.
Sabrina Madison
Man...talk about embarrassing! Getting schooled by a couple of Ace Pilots-after all of the training we went through, too!
Perle Luisant
I know..."smiles"
Both Perle and Luisant will act as if they are confident in surviving the battle just now. This will seemingly throw off Bijou and her friends-along with Divitiya, who will now react to Perle and Sabrina's voices by looking away with glee on their faces. Bijou will show a smile, but there will be deeper meaning to this, as she will know what Perle and Sabrina are thinking. Perle will then speak, as she watches the lights of the AA Superior Weapons fly away.
Perle Luisant
And now that they think we aren't that skilled at controlling the Tyranny ErotiCake...after we repair it and train a little more, we'll be the ones to surpass them next time! Hehehe...
Although Perle says this with an evil grin, she and Sabrina will be shivering at this time, to which Divitiya will see. She will then lean back in her seat, confident that Perle and Sabrina will still make her proud. Bijou and her friends will be seen to smile at their children's comeback, as the chapter then ends.
-CHAPTER END-
