Chapter Nineteen: The Nirvana...TRANSFORMATION
Just then, a series of rapid missiles hit the Nirvana, pounding on the ships shield. Hibiki gritted his teeth as he felt a searing pain spread throughout his back. He felt the blast burn his flesh, Dita couldn't do a thing except to try to maneuver the ship on her own which was rather unsuccessful because she could only move the left side.
Duero eyed the screen and frowned. Hibiki's vitals increased and the damage calculation for his side increased to 40 percent. This wasn't good. If the ship were to lose the right wing, then Hibiki could die. Some of the enemy fighters managed to avoid the attacks that the Nirvana dealt out and hovered over the outer level of the shield. They planted themselfs onto it and began severing sections of it. The navigation chamber went from a clam blue to a hectic red as Hibiki quickly realized what was happening.
"Dammit! They're smarter than I thought. Dita, you think you could do that again?" he asked. Dita nodded as she held her hands out in front of her, she focused but couldn't get that anger to come out again. She sighed in defeat.
"I can't, I don't know how. You know I can't get that way easily." she complained. Hibiki sighed, he grabbed her hand and held it. Hibiki thought it was a stupid thing to do but anything would seem to work at this moment. He closed his eyes and held his arm out in front of him, Dita although was confused at first decided to mimic the gesture. To her surprise, the second she pulled into that position she felt a surge of energy rush through her body. The power of the pecksis reacted to their connection and granted them its power. The ship was transforming.
Duero fell into shock as he noticed it, Dita's and Hibiki's vital returned to normal as the damage percentage had reset to zero.
"What's going on?""
Meia destroyed another enemy fighter until her eye trailed off, a bright glow immediately hit her sights. The source of it was coming in the direction of the Nirvana. As she struggled to see, she let out a gasp. Crystals were forming all over the Nirvana, that reminded her of that day on which the male and female ship combined. Was... was it transforming again? The crystals devoured the ship, but as it did, the crystals branched off into different sections creating several more wings.
Inside, Hibiki and Dita were in a temporary state of sleep.
"What just happened?" Hibiki said, or at least he thought. He noticed he wasn't speaking through his mouth but rather through his mind.
"This is weird, how come we are talking telepathically?" she asked. Hibiki was able to hear her voice echo in his brain.
"Because, you are fused with the Nirvana" bellowed a voice.
"Wow, Hibiki. What happened to your voice?" she thought.
"That wasn't me" he answered.
"Don't fret, young children. What you feel now is normal, Hibiki... I... am... proud of your courage and determination. But you mustn't underestimate the enemy, you will use the power of the pecksis to prevail. Destroy them all with all my power," the voice echoed.
Hibiki and Dita opened their eyes to see a dramatic transformation, the blue chamber was converted over to an oval shaped one, the blue aurora that once enveloped them was now a deep beige. Hibiki glanced over at Dita, his mouth dropped. Her body was covered with red flame designs. Starting from her back and branching off to different sections of her body. Hibiki couldn't help but feel his male hormones go into haywire. She was sexy.. STOP! Think about what you're doing! Dita noticed him and smiled, she hovered over to him and pointed to his arm.
"Hibiki, you're so cute with those black strips at your sides." she said. Hibiki looked down to see that indeed he held black stripes caressing his waist line. Why did he have them? But besides that, his body was completely rejuvenated. His muscles were totally healed of their fatigued. Also, he felt some foreign strength dwell inside him, he knew it wasn't his but the simple fact that it rested within him made him feel invincible. Just then, a screen appeared before him. Meia's face seemed to be dazed.
"What did you do? The Nirvana... it's incredible." she said. Hibiki couldn't help but smile, when he did, his eyes flared a golden glow.
It was a grand sight as the Nirvana, it no longer held the sleek white composition it once did. It no longer had just two wings but four. The wings were arranged in an X formation. Several hundreds of guns were attached to it. The Nirvana was no longer white, it was fiery red with black flames decorated generously around it. The ship glowed as it was... the ultimate life. Hibiki noticed that even the slightest movement he made, made the Nirvana inch a little. It was now hyper sensitive. He opened his hand and soon realized that the left wings corresponded by moving in an up and down motion. It even sported a brand new aiming system. As he moved his other hand, it quickly revealed he was in control of the whole ship. But... then what did Dita get?
"Hibiki, look at this." she whispered. He looked over to see Dita with her arm outstretched in front of her. She twitched her finger and to a very stunned Hibiki, she managed to form a barrier around a nearby star. With her free hand, she twitched another finger which made all of the ships turrets react. She was able to control all of the ships weapons and was able to form shields around anything.
Duero was stunned when he found himself no longer sitting in one of the round stations of the bridge but instead in a cockpit like area. In front of him were several monitors, displaying the ships current condition. It also had several camera's of different areas of the ship. Buzam was staring awkwardly at her own station which was in the center of the bridge. It resembled much like Duero's but was much larger and was facing a massive window. Ezra was trying frantically trying to learn how to operate the whole mess.
Even the enemy ceased fire to spectate the new event, all of the ships stopped in mid space. Meia was still swerving through them but screamed when she looked down at her own controls which had been replaced when she wasn't looking. Her dread was longer and now her legs were part of its steering. The reason for this was because of the extra wings that supported its backside. She quickly caught glance of Jura who was spiraling out of control.
"Meia! I don't know how to control this thing! Everything is much different and more complex! I even have enemy seeking missiles equipped. Since when did the Nirvana get a new make over?" she said.
