Yo! Waassssuuuppp??!! SOORRY for the delay, I've been out for Winter Break, miles away from home. My bad, but I'm back now and ready to resume.

BHK sped through deep space, constantly checking his navigation system to confirm that he was headed the right way. Out in space, there aren't that many landmarks, the stars all start to look the same after a while. BHK was now positive that this computer had saved him countless times from entering into hidden black holes, or making a left at that asteroid belt.

But by now, he was nearing his destination. He was only a few hours away from- "Warning! Enemy ships detected." BHK swore. "How many ships?"

"A total of 5 ships, 3 miles away and closing rapidly."

"Can you execute a detailed scan from this distance?"

"I sure can try, Boss." The computer screen which had originally showed the navigation, minimized that program and flashed blank. "Scan in progress…" For a few moments, the screen stayed blank.

However, eventually a Heartless ship appeared on the monitor. It was a small ship with light firepower and ammunition. "The three ships in front resemble this model. This ship is mostly used as scouting ships for reconnaissance and swift attacks."

After this report, another larger and more densely built ship appeared on-screen. "The remaining two ships are of this construction." The computer informed. "This ship is much heavier, and therefore slower, making them much easier targets than the scout ships. However, they also have dense armor built in and heavy firepower. They are more like warships, used for, well…war. Bombings, heavy assault, etc, they are able to do much damage in a very short time."

BHK rubbed his temples. "Is there anyway to avoid them?"

"Negative. The ships are now within a mile of us. There is no doubt that they've got us on radar as well. Soon we will have visual confirmation, and be in firing range. The suggested course of action: There is a decent sized asteroid field nearby. We should enter that field to have so provided cover and counter attack from there."

BHK shook his head, even though he wasn't sure if the computer could notice that. (Where would its eyes be?) "No. We've tried that once. This time, we are going to take them head on. Enter the battle formation and bring all weapons online."

BHK sat up straight and shook himself slightly. The last aerial battle was still fresh in his mind. He was not going to let that happen again. The computer brought the systems online, but it had something to say. "This plan is not wise boss." BHK shrugged. "You know something? I don't really care that much anymore. Increase our speed enough so that we're rushing at them. I want to hit them hard and fast, before they can do anything in return."

BHK gripped the joysticks as the acceleration kicked in, pressing him deeply into his seat. "You're going to kill us all…." BHK pushed the ship even faster. "Did Cid put any shields on this thing?!" BHK yelled over the roar of the engine. "A partial shield, directed to the front of the craft is present."

"Great. That's all we'll need…." That last mile was rapidly closing and BHK was starting to see five little specks outside his window. "Raise the shield!" A light green barrier covered the nose of the ship instantly. "Increase to ramming speed!"

"What?! Are you crazy?!" The computer demanded. "Just do it!!" BHK yelled back. The Gummi ship rocketed forward as the thrusters gave one final burst. The ships were easily clear now, and getting rapidly closer each passing second.

"You're going to hit them!"

"That's the idea!" A few second later, BHK had the breath knocked out of his lungs as his whole body shook. He had slammed into one of the heavier ships at full ramming speed. The other ship was in bad shape, its thruster had stopped working and there was smoke issuing from all over.

Meanwhile, BHK calmly but quickly backed away from the dreadnaught with a few scratches on the paint, and a dent here and there. The shield had been totally obliterated in the crash, but not before absorbing enough damage to keep them alive.

But BHK had no time to pat himself on the back for making it out of there still breathing. He had one more dreadnaught and those three scout ships to take care of, and ramming wasn't going to work twice.

BHK quickly spun the ship around and pulled upward, escaping a large volley of enemy fire. BHK blasted the jets to help make him a harder target. He did a quick flip and positioned himself for the battle.

A tense moment passed as every ship remained motionless, and then suddenly, they were moving again. The scouts were flying towards him at high speed in a mini V formation. BHK responded in kind, jetting directly to the enemy ships. As they drew nearer and nearer, the Heartless began firing their guns. BHK didn't slow as he entered a fast barrel-roll, and didn't blink as the deadly beams of light seared past his cockpit.

When the ships came within seconds before another collision, BHK shot off three lasers in quick succession. They all connected with the same target, blowing it to smithereens and allowing BHK to slip through the other two ships.

However, as the frantic beeping of the computer notified him, he was already faced with another threat. The damaged dreadnaught had launched set of homing missiles toward him during the game of chicken he had had with the scouts. BHK had little time to think, as the missiles were already gaining on him.

He sharply twisted the joysticks and made a wide U-turn to aim back at the enemy. He fired his jets and rocketed on a suicide run toward the healthy dreadnaught. BHK let out a long yell as he got closer, closer, closer….

BHK spiraled up and away from the ship at the last second, the enemy missiles slamming into the Heartless dreadnaught which exploded after such a heavy beating. This caused a rather interesting chain reaction; the shockwaves rocked the other dreadnaught, and in its weakened state, it also exploded, and took one of the remaining scouts that happened to be too far within the blast radius.

However it also sent BHK's ship for a spin. While BHK was disoriented, the remaining scout (who was unaffected by the numerous explosions) took advantage of the situation. It fired a string of shots directed toward, and colliding with, BHK.

The Gummi ship was rocked further and through the chaos, BHK could see the hull's integrity count diminishing. After a few more moments of spinning rocking and flipping, BHK was able to bring the ship back under control and launched a counter attack. One of his shots clipped the Heartless ship's wing and it lost control, spiraling down into the path of an oncoming comet. Both were destroyed in the collision.

BHK wiped his dripping face and took long deep breaths. "Status" The computer ran a scan of the ship and returned with the results almost immediately.

"Engines are still in working order, although the wings took a bit of damage, and the hull has suffered heavy damage." The computer reported. BHK rested his head back in his chair and tried to ignore the throbbing behind his eyes.

"Will we be able to reach the Hollow Bastion?"

"If all goes well, we should be able to reach the destination safely. However, I'm not positive that we could survive a heavy fire-fight, especially not with your kamikaze driving, if you want my opinion."

BHK smiled and hauled his head back up. "I didn't ask for it. Besides, I didn't know that computers could make opinions." BHK checked over the navigation one last time. "Okay know-it-all. Onward to Hollow Bastion. Full speed ahead!"

The afterburners shot the ship forward, snapping BHK's neck back against his seat and blurring the stars once again.

Burger King? Good chicken. Review!
