it's horri-
Karin: oh shut up!
The young girl paced up and down, unable to sit quietly. Another blast had rocked her ship, but she did not seem affected by it. Her second in command had tried to tell her to sit down, but to no avail. She was just so... agitated, nervous. Anything could describe her right now.
"Dammit! How long is Fayt going to take!"
She grumbled. She went back to her command console and pulled up a screen which showed the battle raging on around her. While the main ships were locked in combat, the fighters were scuttling around like small fireflies, doting the dark space with brilliant light.
"Ma'am, please calm down and sit down! It's not going to do any good with you around in circles!"
Her second in command told her. The young man had a strange pale skin with white hair and graying eyes, as though he was already ninety years of age, but he still had the face and body of a twenty year old.
"I'll tell you what's not going to do any good, that if nobody does something, Fayt's going to be in a load of trouble! He was suppose to finish this ages ago!"
"He's only thirty minutes behind schedule."
"Thirty minutes! Thirty minutes! You know what i can do in thirty minutes? I can make coffee, bake cakes and cookies, make dinner and shower and even do my homework in thirty minutes!"
The young girl was almost balistik. Her second in command had to give up trying to calm her down. It was almost impossible. It was obvious to everyone that she couldn't do all that within thirty minutes, but no one wanted to correct her, especially in her current state.
"Ma'am! A part of the enemy fleet has broken off and are now heading to our coordinates!"
Her radar officer exclaimed.
"Damn them all! Order the fleet to engage them. I'm tired of waiting. I need to do something. Set to condition red. Battle stations. Prepare to launch fighters, charge up the main cannons and prepare all the weapons."
She commanded. The young Sophia Esteed was being enraged. Someone was going to pay, she did not care who. Even one as kind and sweet and innocent as Sophia, can snap and become one of hell's most feared and ferocious beast. Her officers all scuttled to their duties.
"Engaging enemy. T-minus five to firing range."
"Thristan cannons loaded. Hell-fire, Valiant, Phantom, Glos missile tubes all loaded. Gentrotude cannons active. Klinfor guns all set..."
The weapon's list was long, but Sophia knew her ship was ready.
"Ma'am! enemy missiles in coming!"
"Evade! Klinfor guns fire at the missiles! Are we within firing range?"
"Three, two, one, we're within range!"
"Thristan, Gentrotude, FIRE!"
The 'Freedom's gate' fired it's front cannons, impaling a ship that was unfortunate enough to stand in its wake.
"Hell-fire, Valiant missiles, FIRE!"
"Main cannons charged!"
"Wait for my signal! Jiun-"
"Understood, Sharing command. Glaudis cannons, Tyrin Partical gun, FIRE!"
"Phantom missiles, FIRE!"
The combat was taken into a wider scale, as the two fleets clashed with each other, firing everything they have at each other. Explosions, bombardments, lasers and missiles all shot out. The giant battle was fierce, having two giant fleets of battleships fight it out in a giant space.
"Send out the fighters!"
"Red Spade, clearance for take off granted. All fighters are to attack enemy."
"How far are we from the enemy?"
Sophia demanded.
"About twelve thousand kilometers."
"Good enough for me, Particle Genosis Cannon, 1, FIRE!"
The entire ship shook as the giant cannon shot it's beam towards the enemy fleet, destroying half in one go. It literally punched a hole in their defences.
"Particle Genosis Cannon, 2, FIRE!"
"Incoming enemy fire!"
"Evade! Steer to port ten degrees, forty-five degree dip angle!"
"Enemy missiles! We can't evade!"
"Lock the Glos missiles onto the them and fire!"
"Incoming enemy fire! Unable to evade!"
Sophia gritted her teeth. They were smart, she'd give them that. She was already running out of options.
"Fire the boeys."
A voice came from behind. Sophia immediately turned, as did everyone else on the bridge. The woman who stood at the doorway had short blue hair and emerald eyes. Her very presence sought authority and her eyes were sharp enough to pierce any one who tried to mess with her.
"Aunty! Why are you here?"
Sophia exclaimed.
"You can't expect me to sit around all day and do nothing, can you? I've come to lend my expertise, that's all."
Ryoko Leingod sat herself on the empty chair next to Sophia and pulled a headset for herself.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, Sophia, there is nothing to worry about."
"Enemy laser fire!"
"Fire the boeys, hatch one to five."
"Launching."
"Pull back the ship, reverse in full gear."
Ryoko ordered, but the pilot looked at Sophia. After all, she was the commander of this ship. Sophia nodded to the pilot.
"Reverse thrusters in full gear, pulling back."
The 'Freedom's gate' shuddered as the ship suddenly halted and went into reverse. As planned, the enemy fire slammed into the boeys, not causing any major damage to the ship.
"Thanks, Aunty. Thristan, Glaudis cannons, FIRE!"
"Heifer cannons, FIRE!"
"Glos, Valiant missiles, FIRE!"
AN: Another short one. Imagine Gundam Seed Destiny's Archangel against that... whatchama call it. Minerva, yeah that's the one.
