Author's Note: I seem to get a lot of feedback on this, so I'm updating.
[According to Placynth here, there isn't any oxygen here for a five-mile radius. The only shot we have is a valley about 5.6 miles north of this place,] Prince Eloftiv said.
A dozen warriors, Prince Eloftiv, Captain Yarx, and my unit were assembled in the Red Shredder's briefing room. I was struggling with the fact that there was no oxygen around for five miles in every direction.
I had distracted myself by looking at my companions' equipment. Placynth, aside from the Zone Analyzer, had a DNA Pinpointer, which showed the positions of life-forms and gave information about the life-forms; a Security Pinpointer, which found and showed any kind of security measures and also showed weapons, ships etc; and a DNA Detector, which detected individuals, so long as a sample of their DNA was loaded into the computer. Placynth's, Elfinorr's and my DNA were already loaded in.
Elfinorr's weapons were also intriguing. He had an MOS-4, a multiple- offensive Shredder that could fire twelve Shredder beams at once, and, due to an immense power drain, had a permanent stun setting, which was nevertheless effective. The most intriguing weapon of his, though, was the EMS-X. It was created by Xenillion-Abalfix-Estoni, hence the 'X'. EMS stands for Ejectable Metal Shredder — a Shredder explosive on a small scale. He also sported an RR, Ramonite Rupturour, which couldn't vaporize but was a kind of energy explosive releaser.
I was thinking about these, when Eloftiv and Yarx started conversing. Their plan was to carry on with the mission, by boarding two undamaged fighters and flying to the valley, which, ironically, was where Councilor Eleven was.
Prince Eloftiv and half a dozen warriors were in one fighter. Captain Yarx, the remaining six warriors, Placynth, Elfinorr and I were in the second. We had about three hours supply of oxygen in each of the fighters.
The flight to the valley was unimportant and uneventful, owing to the fact that the way was mostly barren landscape, with a few scattered rocks and mountains here and there.
Finally, after what seemed like a very long two hours, we reached the lip of the valley. We flew till we were at the center, then dropped lower.
Placynth had his Security Pinpointer out. He was studying the numbers closely. Then, he let out a cry.
[WHAT?] yelled Captain Yarx, startled.
[Three Bug Fighters coming at us, rising fast!] said Placynth.
TSEEEWWW!! TSEEEWWW!! TSEEEWWW!!
Twin Dracon beams flashed. Prince Eloftiv's fighter was blown apart.
[Eloftiv!] Yarx cried.
TSEEEWWW!! TSEEEWWW!!
The Bug Fighters now turned their attention on us. But Yarx was ready.
TSEEEWWW!! Yarx returned the fire. The edge of the beam grazed the side of the fighter, melting the side.
TSEEEWWW!! Another shot and Yarx destroyed the Bug fighter. The remaining two fighters broke formation and bore down on us from the sides. Yarx dropped the fighter a few feet and turned it upwards. TSEEEWWW!!
BOOOOM! A fighter exploded. The other craft was caught in the explosion's wake and was thrown against the valley wall. I crumpled, but as it did, it sent out a last beam of energy.
The Dracon beam hit us.
Please review!
