And now on with chapter 6.
"Admiral, give a status report," Cephius said as he powered up the shuttle for launch.
"It seems that the two fleets are evenly matched in every aspect. I fear that there will be massive losses on both sides."
"I see. Do what you can. I'm heading down with the troops. Hopefully, we'll be able to get to Vega in time."
"Aye sir. I have a few tricks up my sleeves."
"Good luck, Admiral."
"And to you, Prince Cephius. You are cleared for launch."
"Understood."
Cephius closed the link.
"Alright everyone, hang on tight. This is going to be a bumpy ride."
Cephius quickly hit the afterburners and the shuttle launched out of the hanger bay at breakneck speeds. Cephius had to bank to the right in order to avoid a flight of attack fighters. A quick dive and roll and he was clear of the ship. He took a moment to survey the area, watching the blue lasers from the enemy ships and the gold for his fleet's ships lance out into the darkness and strike in the shields of their targets. He could also see large explosions on the shields of both sides, knowing that their powerful missiles were being deployed. A quick turn to the left and a small dive put the view of the fleet out of his sight and the planet came into view.
"Not much longer. A few monre minutes and.."
The shuttle rocked as a couple of lasers slammed into it's shields.
'Damn,' he thought to himself. He banked to the right sharply to avoid a rain of blue laser fire. Another climb and roll to the left avoided another barrage.
"This is shuttle Argon. We are under attack attack. We need assistance," he yelled into the comm unit.
To answer him, his sensors showed three of the six enemy ships wink out. A few seconds later, the last three were gone, replaced by five friendly blips.
"This is Lunar 1. Problem taken care of, Argos."
"Thanks, Lunar 1. I owe you one."
"A drink would be nice when this is over, sir."
"Deal. Good hunting, Lunar 1."
"And to you, sir. Lunar 1 out."
Cephius quickly guided the shuttle towards the planet.
"Thirty seconds to atmospheric entry. Every one get ready."
The troops quickly buckled up and prepared for entry.
'I hope we make it in time,' Cephius thought to himself as the shuttle entered the planet's atmosphere.
On the planet's surface . . .
Vega quickly dodged a flame attack from General Fire. In return, he fired an energy attack of his own, but Fire evaded the attack.
"Face it, Lunarian, you can not hope to defeat me."
"Says who," as he charged forward to attack.
Fire let loose a barrage of fireballs at Vega. Vega quickly ducked and jumped over the fireballs, evading all of them and, upon reaching, commenced a brutal attacks of punches and kicks. Fire, caught unprepared, took the first couple of hits, then went on the defensive, blocking the kicks and attacks, then countering by attacking Vega, who responded with all manner of blocks and defensive moves.
The fist fight lasted for a few more seconds, each opponent firing multiple attacks, only to have them blocked or deflected, then they themselves blocking and deflecting. Vega, realizing that this was getting him no where, quickly jumped back and launched a powerful attack. Fire, quick to respond, fired his attack. When the two energies collided, an monstrous explosion rocked the castle, tearing apart the surround walls of the hallway they were in. Before the dust and smoke cleared, Fire charged at Vega, firing off punches and kicks. Luckily, Vega was expecting it and went on the defense. However, the attacks from Fire were slowly causing Vega to backstep, getting him closer and closer to the wall. Vega, realizing what could happen if he didn't stop this, quickly turned the tables on Fire and launced an assault of his own. Fire, not expecting the ferocity of the attack began blocking the punches and kicks, but that caused him to backstep.
So, the fighting continued, back and forth the fighters fought on, battling back and forth, trying to find a weakness in their opponents styles. At one point, Vega left himself open for just a few moments, hoping that Fire would fall for it, but Fire was no fool, and did not attempt it. For what seemed like hours, they battled it out, no one really gaining an upper hand in the fight. Fire decided on another tactic. He backed up and drew his flaming sword. Vega pulled out Selune to defend himself. The two blades flashed back and forth, slamming into the defender's sword. Sparks flew off wen the swords met. But, it seemed that no matter how hard the other tried, they could not get past the other's blade. Then, during the battle, they had switched sides in the hallway, Fire's back towards the wall and Vega's towards the window. Fire realized his situation and fired a fireball at Vega. Without thinking, Vega fired off an attack of his own. When the energies collided, another gigantic explosion erupted, but this time, the explosion was more intense and of a greater strength. Vega shielded himself with his arms as the explosion launched him back, shattering the window as he flew out and droppped, all the way down to the courtyard forty feet below. He tried to slow himself down, using his energy, but the ground was too close. He rolled with the impact, trying to lessen it. He partially succeeded, but he heard and audible pop from his left arm and an intense pain race through his shoulder.
'Damn,' he thought. 'Popped my shoulder out of place.'
Just as he tried to pop his arm back in place, he had to quickly dodge a fire attack from above. As he rolled away, he looked up to see Fire floating down towards him.
'What's the matter, little prince," he said sarcastically, "did you hurt your arm."
He fired another attack at Vega, who jumped out of the way, but unfortunately, rolled on his dislocated arm. He grunted in pain as he got to his feet.
"It's too bad, Prince Vega. You fighting skills are impressive. No one has ever given me such a challenge."
"Don't flatter yourself, Fire," he said he grasped his arm.
"But I don't. But, enough of this. I have more important things that to battle with you. It's time you left this realm."
Fire's hands began to flame again, but the flames got hotter and hotter, turning from a red to an almost white.
"Good bye, Prince of the Moon Kingdom."
Just as Fire brought his hands forward, an energy blast slammed into his hands, causing the energy to release prematurly. Fire was hurled backwards into the castle, collapsing the wall he went through.
Vega turned around to see where the blast had come from and smiled.
"Next time you want to fight one of the generals, don't forget to include me in, okay," Cephius said as he approached Vega.
"I'll try not to," he answered as he smiled up at his friend.
"Ready to put that back in place," Cephius asked.
Vega simply nodded. So, Cephius, without much of a warning, popped it back into place, causing Vega to gasp in pain.
"You could of warned me," Vega complained.
Cephius just smiled at his friend. Then, at that moment, the part of the castle that collapsed exploded, sending fragments and dust in all directions. A flaming figure stood in the middle of the area, eyes seeming to burn a dark red.
"You will pay for that, Dragon Prince."
"You don't know how many times I've heard that," Cephius commented as he and Vega got into a fighter's stance.
"You have no idea with what you are dealing with, little princes. Behold, the power of fire."
The flaming figure grew taller and taller, reaching up to nearly the height of the castle.
"I am General Fire, lord of the flames. Anything that stands in my way will be burned out of existance."
"Hate to disappoint you, but you don't quite understand what you are dealing with."
The two princes began to power up, bring their powers higher and higher. The energy radiating from the two of them scattered the dust and dirt from around them, as if a wind were blowing out in all directions around them.
"You will see what it is to be a Lunarian Prince," he said as he brought his power into his hands.
Cephius too was bring his power to bear, one hand glowing with a white light, the other seeming to burn in a black fire.
"PREPARE TO DIE, PATHETIC WORMS," Fire yelled out as he brought his power to bear on the two princes, firing white flames from his hands.
"LUNAR EXCLIPSE EXPLOSION," Vega yelled out as he released his attack.
"TWIN DRAGON ATTACK," Cephius yelled out as he fired off his attack.
The two attacksslamming into Fire's attack, sending an intense shockwave from the point of impact, shattering the walls of the courtyard and collapsing another part of the castle. The two princes continued to pour energy into their attacks as Fire did to his. For the first few moments, nothing happened. Then, slowly, ever so slowing, the fire attack from Fire was being pushed back. Fire saw what was happening and poured more of his power into his attack, shoving the princes energy attack back a bit, but the princes poured more of their's into it. Soon, the attacks radiating energy was beginning to vaporize everything in the area. The entire castle was soon vaporized and the only thing left standing was the three combatants, the entire area stripped of plants, of any animals. Even the ground below the center of the attacks began to crack. However, once again, the flames were being pushed back, little by little.
"Impossible," Fire yelled out.
Cephius and Vega began to put their full power into their attacks, each straining with the effort, yelling out with the increase to full. Fire tried to increase his own attack yelling because of the increase, but nothing he did seemed to slow it down.
Then, without warning, an energy ball travelled up the two princes attack, shoving the flames back to Fire, as well as the attacks from the princes.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!," Fire yelled out as the two attacks slammed into him.
An explosion so vast erupted around the lord of flame, blindind the two princes, then flinging them back as if they were rag dolls. The explosion continued on for quite some time before it began to fade. The two princes, landing some hundred yards away, slowly got to their feet, brushihng themselves off, Vega clutching his right shoulder. Both looked as the explosion finally faded. There, floating in the middle of the air where Fire once floated, stood a figure. At first, the two princes couldn't believe that Fire could of survived it. But, a moment later, the figure dropped to the ground, exploding into a wave of ash, scattering as the wind blew. Once the princes got up to the crater that was left of the castle, they watched as a white had disintigrated as the wind blew it away.
"Play with fire," Vega started.
"And you get burned," Cephius finished. "So, let's go see how the fleet is doing, shall we."
Vega smiled at Cephius, then, with his eyes rolling to the back of his head, colapsed unconscious.
Cephius quickly checked for a pulse and found a strong pulse as well as breathing. Cephius just shook his head and picked Vega up over his shoulder and carried him to the shuttle. Once he got there, a solider saluted him.
"Report, Lietenant," Cephius ordered.
"We have taken care of the local resistance forces that were here, but it seems that most of the troops were not very loyal to his majesty, King Orbon. They were willing to surrender quite easily. I figure there are about a thousand that could join us."
"Good work, Lieutenant. Have someone open a comm link with the flagship and find out the situation. Meanwhile, I'll try and make it hard for any ship up there to find us or hit us."
"Yes sir."
The lieutenant quickly went into the shuttle, near the comm station, while the rest of the troops and Cephius climbed on, where Cephius laid down Vega on the ground, then headed for the pilot's seat. Within moments, the ship lifted off and headed away from the castle. After a minute, the lietenant reported that the fleet was finally beginning to push the enemy fleet back. It would be only a matter of minutes before the enemy fleet would begin to retreat.
"Thank you, Lietenant."
"Aye sir."
Cephius handed the controls of the shuttle to the lieutenant and headed back to where the troops and Vega were sitting.
"How's the arm," Cephius asked as he sat next to a conscious Vega.
"A bit tender, but it'll be as good as new in a day or so."
"Well then," he said as he reached out and squeezed the sore shoulder.
Vega yelped in pain.
"Next time you won't try to take on one of the generals of the Dark Kingdom alone, right."
"He didn't exactly give me much choice," Vega said as he looked at Cephius.
Cephius just glared at him suspiciously.
"Right," Cephius said sarcastically.
"He didn't. Honest."
Cephius just rolled his eyes at his friend.
"So, how are things going up there?"
"The good thing is that it looks like our fleet is going to win, but I have a bad feeling that it has cost us quite a bit of our ships and our people."
"Then it is as I feared," Vega commented. "Guess we'll find out when we get there."
"I guess so," was Cephius's reply.
