-Chapter 26 - Part 1-
Written by
David Kenneth Lacey
Four days later, Mainland and its fleet of military and Saviour Ships will now arrive close to the front of the enormous AA Space Fortress Neith, which is stationed just above orbit around the planet Grissom. The fortress will be less than 1/10th of the overall length of Mainland, but it will still be larger than 5 Saviour Ships combined. Along its exterior, thousands of AA and RF Superior Weapons will be present, armed along countless numbers of gun emplacements, while many more Superior Maneuvers will be shown flying around the station and ships.
As the AA and RF forces are all shown, within the command room from before, Queen Azalea and Queen Media will both make an announcement-with their mother watching them, who is sitting down in her own seat. They announce over the comms-
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Attention all Ascension and RF personal. I, Queen Azalea and my sister, Queen Media, have an announcement to make to each and every one of you. Please listen to our proclamation, before we engage in battle against the Confederation before us. Media, if you'd please...
Queen Azalea says, as she stands up to a flurry of cameras around her and her sister. Queen Media then begins speaking over the intercoms, to which in several locations across Neith; personal in their Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers are all shown briefly, as well as those in ships. They all listen to what the Queen Media have to say, as she speaks to everyone-
Queen Media Ascension (intercoms)
...It has been 18 years since we all left behind the clutches of the DIC. Once upon a time, we Ascension were a people chained into a war that had a conclusion that was predestined. We Ascension were meant to be destroyed back then, just so that the DIC and Confederation could traverse through space and spread the seeds of life across the galaxy in our death...
Queen Media says, to which many brief shots of Ascension people listen to this in disgust to this part of Media's proclamation-
Ascension/RF personal
...
As the people listen in distain, none of them enjoy hearing that they were created just to be expendable-especially when every Ascension and RF would then perish after their "purpose" had expired at the hands of the DIC. Queen Media continues-
Queen Media Ascension (intercoms)
And yet, despite that fact, we persevered, as early on we had a helping hand from Rhapsody Luisant. It's was thanks to her, being the wife of the President of the DIC, that we learned that our fate in that war was defined well in advance. With information came power, as we could use what we learned from her to come to grips that we were under surveillance...and exploit the DIC to our gain.
As Queen Media says this, several Ascension are seen to smirk slightly-
Ascension/RF personal
...!
Elsewhere, in a D4 Divide in space at the tip of the AA/RF fleet in space, Rhapsody is seen inside it's cockpit, quiet as always. Commander Idris, Faith and Grace are also seen in their D3 Divides, listening to Queen Media's speech from their own cockpits-
Rhapsody Luisant
...
Commander Idris Requiem
...
Faith Nadir
...
Grace Nadir
...
Back with Queen Media, she then finishes her side of this proclamation by saying-
Queen Media Ascension (intercoms)
As we continued fighting, we soon gained even more allies-most importantly being Stanley Wilber and Howard Pinnacle, who established the RF and by themselves guaranteed our survival by sacrificing their own morals and families just to ensure that we survive. Remember their sacrifices, and let that emotion guide you today, as I now end our proclamation by saying this...!
Back in the command room, Queen Azalea will then take over speaking, as she finishes up the proclamation by saying-
Queen Azalea Ascension
...Today, we Ascension will join our hands with the Red Feathers once more and take on the Confederation using the power of this space fortress, Neith. While we may be outnumbered, we will continue to fight against the Confederation as many times as it takes, as we unleash unto them our full capabilities today. Now everyone, go fourth and achieve...VICTORY!
Queen Azalea says, as now all across Neith and within their entire military, the forces of the AA and RF chant-
Ascension/Red Feathers personal
VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!
As the Ascension and RF announce this, the scene will then transition across the fortress, and then show the many military personal either in their ships or Superior Weapons...
"Scene Transition"
On the side of the Confederation, the scene will first show their many military ships and Superior Weapons/Superior Maneuvers, which are all at the forefront around Mainland in four massive clusters. The Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite are also revealed, keeping further to the rear within one of the clusters of ships, to which inside of one of the Hydra Noon's private hangers, Bijou and her friends will be shown in front of the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II-along with Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya nearby standing in front of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Here, Bijou and her friends will be seen to be visually stressed over something, but they will be doing their best to keep it under control by staying focused on the task at hand. As for Perle and Sabrina, however, they visually cannot contain their worry-
Noah Maverick
...
Isaac Carter
...
Chole Madison
...
Bijou Luisant
...!
Now, both Perle and Sabrina will leave Divitiya's side and will come over to Bijou and her friends, to which as they are fully reveled, they will have new hairstyles and somewhat less clothing, indicating that during their training during the past 4 days, they changed significantly. They will still have bandages covering their bodies-especially Perle, as her back will be covered with bandages, while Sabrina will have less bandages than before. They will also appear to be much more confident than before, as both will also have changed hairstyles as well as lipstick, to which Perle will then start things off by saying-
Perle Luisant
Mother...do you think Sebastion and Cesario are alright...?
Bijou Luisant
...I don't know, Perle.
Perle asks, worried about the wellbeing of Sebastion and Cesario, while Bijou's reply is simple and straight to the point. Sabrina then asks-
Sabrina Madison
Francoise or the others were also in the Black Block, when it got taken over by those angry civilians. Cicienna and Harper are there too, but not even they have contacted us...
Bijou Luisant
!...
As Sabrina mentions this, Bijou will show some interest, but will continue to remain quiet. Her mood will be seen to become darker as Perle and Sabrina continue to talk about this topic-but Perle, being none the wiser, will continue, saying-
Perle Luisant
...Surely there can be something we can do to help them...I can't stand just waiting here for them to contact us...
Bijou Luisant
...
As Perle mentions this, her mother will be shown to become visually upset, as she continues to remain silent. Sabrina then speaks up, saying-
Sabrina Madison
I think we can do something to help them, Perle. Afterall, we do have the Tyranny ErotiCake, so-
Bijou Luisant
!
Now, Bijou will react by placing both her hands on the shoulders of Perle and Sabrina, catching them by surprise-
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
With both Perle and Sabrina paying Bijou their full attention, Bijou will speak to them in a very strict tone. She says to them both, in a strict tone-
Bijou Luisant
Listen to me, you two. I never intended for either of you to learn of what has happened at the Black Block, you know. You two only found out about this by eavesdropping during a time when Fran had contacted us, from a secret room within the Black Block to barely tell us what was going on.
Bijou says, strictly, which surprises both Perle and Sabrina. They will say-
Perle Luisant
But...Mother...
Sabrina Madison
We are just concerned about their safety. Don't you also want to do something to help?!
Bijou then replies by saying this, in an extremely stressed tone-
Bijou Luisant
...Of course I want to help them, Sabrina...after all, my brothers, who I just reconnected with a few days ago are now in trouble. And not only them, but Fran and the others are also in the same predicament...of course I want to go straight to the Black Block with the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and help them this instant...
Perle Luisant
Then...why...?
Sabrina Madison
...
Bijou says this as if she's almost about to cry, but she will restrain herself as she explains her feelings into this matter. Perle will then ask her this, as Bijou continues to speak, saying-
Bijou Luisant
Have you two forgotten already?! Both the AA and RF are just outside Mainland as we are talking about this situation, along with their space fortress-Neith. Destiny already told us all that this station has super lasers, which considering the mentality of Howard, what if they were to use those weapons against the Saviour ships?!
Perle Luisant
!...
Sabrina Madison
!...
Bijou says this strongly, to which upon being reminded of this fact, both Perle and Sabrina will flinch and then look down in shame. Bijou then finishes up speaking by saying-
Bijou Luisant
...As much as it pains me to say this...even with the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II at our disposal now, we cannot split our focus across this new situation with the civilians in Mainland and deal with the AA and RF at the same time. We have to stay focused and believe that Fran and the others can handle whatever is going on in Mainland right now...
Bijou says this, frustrated at the current situation, to which Perle then brings this up-
Perle Luisant
But, what about what Sabrina just said?! With the Tyranny ErotiCake, we could have it turn itself invisible to sneak into Mainland! Surely then with Divitiya's help, she could force herself into the Black Block, and-
Now, Divitiya steps forward, cutting off Perle from finishing her sentence. She says-
Divitiya Iran
I'm sorry, Perle, but I absolutely cannot raise my hands against any human civilian, as by doing so would put into jeopardy our relationship with the people of the Confederation-along with the other three.
Perle Luisant
Grk...
Divitiya continues-
Divitiya Iran
Remember, Perle...right now, the civilians are very angry at the fact that Mainland is about to erupt and that they now have no choice but to return to the confines of the Saviour Ships. If I, a Baptisian, were to attack them at this time, just imagine how they might retaliate against my people-which would cause a ripple effect for the other three races as well and potentially cease any future relationships from taking place...
Perle Luisant
!...
Upon hearing this, Perle's head will drop, as there is no other option to help Chairwoman Francoise and the others at the moment. Sabrina then says, out of desperation and almost about to cry-
Sabrina Madison
...Surely...there must be something we can do..."cries"
Sabrina says, now crying, to which her mother and father then take her into their arms. They then speak to her-
Isaac Carter
Just remember what we told you, right after we explained the situation to the two of you after you eavesdropped on us...
Chole Madison
...Close your eyes to the situation that is happening within Mainland, and concentrate solely on the upcoming battle with the AA and RF. Use this pain of inability to fuel your resolves, as it will help you to continue forward...
Sabrina Madison
..."cries"
As Isaac and Chole tell this to their daughter, she will look sadly forward as she lets a few tears fall off her face. As she closes her eyes, she will keep them shut for just a few moments...before opening them once more-
Sabrina Madison
...!
As she does, her face will be seen to be full of determination. Perle will see her face, and upon seeing how determined her best friend is, Perle will also find the strength within her to also soldier onwards-
Perle Luisant
...I understand...
Now also determined, Noah will speak to his daughter, saying-
Noah Maverick
...Good, Perle. You now seem to be thinking correctly.
Noah says, as Perle then replies-
Perle Luisant
...Yeah...
Perle says, reluctantly-but with Sabrina appearing to be more focused, she will then appear the same as well. Bijou will then speak-
Bijou Luisant
Go ahead and get into your ErotiCake, you three. And make sure to stay by our side, as we'll be fighting together, just like we trained for.
Bijou says, indicating that she and her friends did train together to develop their own fighting styles. Perle then replies-
Perle Luisant
...Sure thing.
With that, both Perle and Sabrina will then begin walking back to the Tyranny ErotiCake. As they walk past Divitiya, she will look at them with care, but then she will look back to Bijou and her friends-nodding-before running after both Perle and Sabrina. Bijou and her friends will then proceed to get into the waiting Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II, as the scene then transitions...
Elsewhere, inside of Mainland, the city where 100,000,000 civilians could live in will appear as a war-torn environment. Raging fires burn everywhere; destroyed buildings cover the entire area and in the streets, bodies of some of the less fortunate will be briefly seen-left in the dirty streets. At the center of Mainland's city will be the Black Block, which will have several Superior Weapons guarding the large structure. Many armed civilians are also present around the Black Block, to which inside, more armed civilians and N-AndroIs are seen-on the watch for anything out of the ordinary. Inside of the command room, several civilians will be answering to an older man, who they identify as "Felix". The civilians being by saying-
Civilian #1
...Sir Felix. While we have control over the Black Block, without the "key" to the control room, we can't directly operate the Black Block or have it transform.
Felix ?
I see. Have you found Chairwoman Francoise or the other leaders yet?
Felix asks, to which the other civilian answers-
Civilian #2
Not yet, Felix. However, we can at least say that they must still be within the Black Block somewhere, as we covered all known openings outside before taking this place. They can't have had the time to flee anywhere else...as that would make them look like cowards.
Felix ?
Indeed...
The older man then slumps back into the seat that Chairwoman Francoise used to sit in. He then says-
Felix ?
Continue looking for Francoise and the others leaders, as they must have the key to the room. With that, we can continue to push "their" plans forward, so increase your patrols and report anything out of the ordinary-as soon as you find it.
Civilians
Yes, Sir!
They say, as they then leave Felix alone in the room. As this occurs, in the same room, both Cicienna and Harper will be shown to be stealthy watching the talk from a false painting. The two will then travel through the walls, being careful to not make any noise, as they descend downwards to eventually reach a hidden room.
Here, Chairwoman Francoise, Ginnette, Rohais, Cassandra and SYSTEM-DESTINY will all be present in the room, which has several doors with stores of food, water, restrooms and monitors inside of them. Chairwoman Francoise will be seen with the keycard in her right hand, to which as she clutches it in her hand, Cicienna and Ember will then arrive into the room from a hidden plate in the ceiling, Chairwoman Francoise and the others notice the noise and then look up-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...!
As the ceiling is removed, both Cicienna and Harper will then float down as if they were skilled ninjas. As they land, Chairwoman Francoise will then speak to them-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Ah, Cicienna and Harper. I'm pleased to see you two are unharmed.
Chairwoman Francoise says, as the two then approach her and the other leaders. Cicienna will then say-
Cicienna Domino
Thank you, Lady Francoise.
Harper Domino
We have some information about what is going on above.
Harper says, to which everyone looks interested. Ginnette then says
Ginnette Pinnacle
Please, tell us what you discovered.
Ginnette asks, to which Cicienna beings to explain-
Cicienna Domino
Apparently, an old man named Felix is responsible for organizing and capturing the Black Block, as he is currently leading this uprising-along with several other ringleaders. We didn't see these other individuals, but there is the possibility they are within other parts of the Black Block.
Cassandra ?
!...Felix...could it be...that man...?
Cassandra mentions this to herself, indicating that she might know who Cicienna is describing. She continues speaking-
Cicienna Domino
They also have hacked N-AndroIs, as well as Superior Weapons and military-grade weapons at their disposal. We also managed to overhear how these civilians were able to get their hands on these weapons-by enlisting the aid of civilians from the Saviour Ships-some of whom are related to the lucky individuals who managed to get into the previous battle without being trained for military combat...
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!...
Upon hearing this, Chairwoman Francoise will remember how she insisted on preventing civilians from fighting in their spare Superior Weapons-but due to the stress of the previous situation and the insistence of Cassandra, Rohais and Ginnette, her words fell on deaf ears. Cicienna continues-
Cicienna Domino
And...we also heard some mentions that hint at the motivations behind this sudden uprising. It would seem that more civilians within the Saviour Ships...have been killed...and their food stolen...than we originally thought...
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!...That's not possible...
Chairwoman Francoise says this in true disbelief, as whatever these rumors are will truly frighten her. Rohais then speaks up, saying-
Rohais Luisant
...If those rumors were true-that the civilians really are killing each other just to obtain more food, that would perfectly validate why they began this little incident. But, I still have to wonder why they would want to take the Black Block in the first place, as what could they hope to do with it?
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...Do you two know the answer to these questions, Harper?
Chairwoman Francoise asks both Cicienna and Harper, to which they reply with-
Harper Domino
We can't say for certain, Chairwoman Francoise...but, from what we can deduce, it would seem that these civilians have some control over several of the Saviour Ships-and they could also have some control over a few of our military ships as well. That, and the fact that we've also been hearing rumors of RF involvement with our civilians...and the fact that we are getting closer to Grissom...
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...!
Just before Chairwoman Francoise can connect the dots, a sound will alert her and the others from the right. A door will open, to which in will walk in-
Sebastion Luisant
..Ah, Cicienna and Harper!
Cesario Luisant
Good to see you guys came back safely.
The two say, as they come up to the group. SYSTEM-DESTINY will then ask them-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
Welcome back, Sebastion and Cesario. Were you two successful in hacking into some of the N-AndroIs above?
SYSTEM-DESTINY asks, to which both men will smile, as they say-
Sebastion Luisant
Yes, Destiny. We have them in the back, so we can begin our retaking of the Black Block as soon as the AA and RF begin their attack.
Sebastion says, as a brief shot of this is shown. SYSTEM-DESTINY then says-
SYSTEM-DESTINY
!...You two are thinking of using the upcoming battle as a diversion?
SYSTEM-DESTINY asks, questioningly, to which Cesario says-
Cesario Luisant
Yes. So long as Andrea and the others can command our military properly, we can use that as a smokescreen to take back the Black Block from these guys.
Rohais Luisant
Excellent...
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...
While Rohais and the others will look committed to this, Chairwoman Francoise will now be seen to still in thought over what Harper was trying to tell her. As she begins to connect the dots, she will then say-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
...I apologize, but if what Harper was saying before you two came back is true, that these civilians have their hands in some of our military-and they do have some of our Saviour Ships under their control as well, then...I need to get into contact with Andrea and inform her of what is happening right now...
Chairwoman Francoise announces in a serious tone, worried that something larger than she can see is about to happen. Sebastion then approaches, saying-
Sebastion Luisant
Then, use this, Fran-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!
Now, Sebastion will hand to Francoise a tablet with a comms unit attached. Chairwoman Francoise will smile, saying-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
Ah...thank you, Sebastion. I honestly should've taken this with me back when the civilians took the Black Block...
Chairwoman Francoise admits this, indicating that she was quite surprised at how the civilians captured the Black Block, and thus, didn't have the time to take such an important device with her. Cesario then speaks-
Cesario Luisant
It's alright, Fran...now, you four can have the chance to show these civilians how being leaders of the Confederation doesn't mean you don't know a few things about "advanced" martial arts.
Cesario mentions, to which Chairwoman Francoise, Ginnette, Rohais and Cassandra will all smile. SYSTEM-DESTINY-being an intellectual and not designed for combat, will not respond, while Cicienna and Harper will remain silent-
Cassandra ?
!
Rohais Luisant
!
Ginnette Pinnacle
!
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant
!...Yes.
Chairwoman Francoise says, as she then activates the tablet, allowing her to get into contact with-
Back on the Hydra Noon, Perle and Sabrina will be inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, along with Divitiya, who is in her seat behind her. The Tyranny ErotiCake will be active and alone in the private hanger, indicating that the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II has already launched. As this is shown, Perle then says-
Perle Luisant
...Tyranny ErotiCake. Let's go!
Sabrina Madison
Hm!
Divitiya Iran
...
Perle says, as the Tyranny ErotiCake then braces itself and then launches upwards. Sabrina has to take a deep breath, while Divitiya isn't bothered by the launch, to which as the Tyranny ErotiCake arrives in space, the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and tens of thousands of other Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers are reveled-
Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II
...
Superior Weapons Revel
...
As Perle and Sabrina join their parents, now, the AA Space Fortress Neith will be shown off to them-
"Revel of AA Space Fortress Neith"
Perle Luisant
Ah!
Sabrina Madison
It's...huge...
Divitiya Iran
...!
With the revel of the AA Space Fortress Neith, it's size and scale will surprise both Perle and Sabrina, as they will be seeing it up close for the first time. As they observe the AA Space Fortress, inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, both Perle and Sabrina will speak-
Perle Luisant
Amazing...did the AA really build that and three other Space Fortresses, just with the power of the original SEED?!
Perle says, surprised at the scale of the Fortresses and mentioning how there are three other Fortresses just like the Neith. Sabrina says-
Sabrina Madison
They must've had help from the RF, back when they were on Mainland for the past 18 years. Only they would've continued to militarize the Ascension after all this time, after all...
Divitiya Iran
...Hm?
As Sabrina says this, Divitiya will notice something-
"Comms Ringing"
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
The sound of the comms going off will surprise both Perle and Sabrina. Divitiya then speaks, saying-
Divitiya Iran
It's from your parents, Perle and Sabrina. Go ahead and answer it.
Perle Luisant
Alright...!
With Perle being instructed by Divitiya to answer the comms, she will proceed to do so, as a hologram of Bijou then appears next to her and Sabrina. Bijou then speaks, joyfully-
Bijou Luisant (comms)
...Perle?! Sabrina?! Can you two hear me?!
Bijou asks, to which Perle and Sabrina reply-
Perle Luisant
Yes, mother.
Sabrina Madison
What's going on?
Bijou will reply-
Bijou Luisant (comms)
We just received word from Andrea! She got an update from Fran and the others within Mainland!
Perle Luisant
What?!
Sabrina Madison
Really?!
Both Perle and Sabrina say, happy and relieved to hear this information. Bijou continues-
Bijou Luisant (comms)
Yes. Fran and everyone who was with them-including my brothers-are fine and about to begin a plan to retake the Black Block with some re-hacked N-AndroIs of their own. They will be fighting at the same time we engage the AA and RF out here.
Perle Luisant
Ah...thank goodness they are alright...
Sabrina Madison
Right...but, can they really retake the Black Block with what they have?
Bijou then finishes up by saying-
Bijou Luisant (comms)
Don't underestimate them, Sabrina, as Fran and the others are very skilled in martial arts. And now that you two know of this, please focus on the task at hand.
Perle Luisant
R...right!
Sabrina Madison
Of course, Bijou.
Suddenly, a blinding flash of light will come from the AA Space Fortress Neith.
"Light shining from Mainland"
Perle Luisant
Gh?!
Sabrina Madison
What?! What is that light?!
Both Perle and Sabrina will cry out, as Divitiya then says-
Divitiya Iran
It's the fortress! They're attacking!
Everyone
?!
And then, just like that, a huge beam of energy will erupt from one of Neith's' superlasers and travel across space.
"BEAM!"
As it travels across space, it will pass by all four of the clusters of Confederation ships and hit the left side of Mainland-skimming across the surface of it's exterior. As this happens, the beam will come into contact with several bridges that extend from the Saviour Ships, causing the people inside to scream out loud in fear-
Civilians
"SCREAMING!"
Back with the Tyranny ErotiCake and Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II, they and everyone else with them will see the beam hitting Mainland and will be horrified at what is happening. Perle and Sabrina will say-
Perle Luisant
OH NO!
Sabrina Madison
GASP!
Divitiya Iran
...Perle! Sabrina! Here they come!
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
?!
Just as Divitiya says this, to their left the beam from Neith starts to dissipate-to which just ahead of them, many E-AndroIs ships and E-AndroIs Mk-II ships will be seen fast approaching the four clusters of Confederation ships. As they approach, the regular E-AndroIs ships will start the battle off by opening their bodies up to begin bombarding the Confederation Ships and Mainland from a good distance-while the new E-AndroIs Mk-II ships will transform into a humanoid form similar to the forms the Tenebris Root, Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite can transform into and close the distance between them and the Confederation ships. In response to this, most of the Confederation's dreadnoughts will also transform-just in time to begin fighting against the E-AndroIs Mk-II ships-
"CLANG!"
"CRACK!"
As some of the Confederation ships in their transformed modes protect themselves from their attackers, the E-AndroIs Mk-II ships begin launching waves and waves of Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers from themselves, which are all AI-controlled. In response to this, the Confederation Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers, which were already on standby, begin engaging against them, as the battle erupts across the front of Mainland.
During this battle, the Confederation military is able to easily hold off the attacking E-AndroIs ships and their upgraded Mk-II variants, as they will outnumber them by a 15 to 3 margin at this time. As the battle between the Confederation and RF ships continues, the Blue Aphrodite and Hydra Noon will be shown to take the spotlight, as five E-AndroIs Mk-II ships home in on their locations. As they approach, Captain Heaven responds by moving her ship forward-in front of the Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers that just launched. The Hydra Noon will also follow suit, as Captain Phillip says-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Everyone!
Captain Phillip Kai
We'll handle those ships! You all concentrate on the Superior Weapons and Maneuvers coming this way!
Everyone
!
Just as Captain Heaven and Phillip say this, they immediately have their ships transform-which when the transformation sequence is completed, a shot of the E-AndroIs Mk-II ships coming towards them sending the last Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers is shown. As they descend from the right, from the left, the Confederation Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers then engage with them, as their battle begins.
In this battle, the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite both have to deal with five E-AndroIs Mk-II ships, while also evading the random bombarding attacks coming from further away-
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Ghh!
Captain Phillip Kai
Dammit...we're sitting ducks like this!
Phillip says, as the attacks coming from the E-AndroIs ships in the distance cause explosions around them and travel to other parts of the Confederation fleet. The attacks are large enough to also cause the Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers of both sides to avoid them as best they can-to which inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, both Perle and Sabrina strain themselves as they brace themselves against the force from the shockwaves outside-
Perle Luisant
GRK!
Sabrina Madison
RGH!
As Perle and Sabrina strain themselves, they attempt to move the Tyranny ErotiCake out of the way of the trajectory of the missiles and lasers coming their way. As they travel across space, they seem to explode at random, while the lasers travel across space and hit Mainland-causing damage to the superstructure. Divitiya notices this occurrence and speaks-
Divitiya Iran
Perle! Sabrina! Those attacks coming from the E-AndroIs ships in the distance are being done to disorientate us.
Upon hearing this from Divitiya, both Perle will be confused-looking back to her while saying-
Perle Luisant
Divitiya?!
Divitiya will then speak again-
Divitiya Iran
Observe...
Perle Luisant
...!
As Perle and Sabrina look, what Divitiya says is true-the missiles flying around them outside of the Tyranny ErotiCake are now shown to not be targeting them specifically and are traveling and exploding around them randomly. Perle still has the Tyranny ErotiCake evade the explosions caused by the missiles, as back inside, Sabrina then says-
Sabrina Madison
...But still, these explosions are hard to evade-especially for our ships...
Sabrina mentions, as while the Superior Weapons and Superior Maneuvers around them are fast enough to easily avoid the explosions, the ships, being larger targets, aren't able to avoid the explosions and concentrate on their attackers. In response to this situation, Heaven contacts Phillip over his comms, saying-
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
...Phillip?! Let's descend down to that side of Mainland-where the superstructure is damaged!
Captain Phillip Kai
What?!
Phillip says, as he has the Hydra Noon look to the area quickly. As he zooms in on the side that Captain Heaven is suggesting, he sees-
"Revel of the side of Mainland"
Captain Phillip Kai
Ah...
Now, Captain Heaven explains-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
We can use the debris as shields against the E-AndroIs ships, which should shield us long enough to dispatch those new models. We can rejoin the fleet and deal with the regular ships ahead.
Captain Phillip Kai
Got it!
Now, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite descend down to land on the surface of Mainland-where the attacks from the E-AndroIs ships in the distance are hitting. This area is just below the combat zone above-where the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II, Tyranny ErotiCake and the rest of the Confederation Superior Weapons and Maneuvers are fighting against the RF Superior Weapons and Maneuvers. The five E-AndroIs Mk-II ships follow them down, to which as they attack, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite have to block attacks from four of the five enemy ships-
"BLOCK! x4"
Captain Phillip Kai
GRR!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Ngh!
The two grunt, as the weight of four E-AndroIs Mk-II ships now forces back both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite. However, the two will now work in tandem with each other, as they will spin their transformed ships around-grabbing the arms of the four attacking E-AndroIs Mk-II ships, and-
Captain Phillip Kai
Hmph!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Hmph!
The two will then throw the four E-AndroIs Mk-II ships across the surface-ripping off their the arms that their transformed ships had grabbing in the process. As the four E-AndroIs Mk-II ships regain their bearings, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite toss the arms they just tore off, as the fifth E-AndroIs Mk-II ship then charges them-
E-AndroIs Mk-II ship #1
"Initializing attack!"
Captain Phillip Kai
!

It says to itself, as the E-AndroIs Mk-II ship zooms in closer to the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite. It now begins to attack both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite with fast hand-to-hand attacks-
"POW!"
"CRACK!"
"CRASH!"
It's attacks are lighting-fast, however, both Captain Heaven and Captain Phillip are able to defend against it and retaliate. By working together, they then start to beat back the E-AndroIs Mk-II ship, pushing it back in an upwards fashion-while also barely avoiding more attacks from the E-AndroIs ships in the distance-
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Captain Phillip Kai

Captain Heaven Risingstar

After just barely avoiding the explosions, the four other E-AndroIs Mk-II ships emerge from the explosions and charge towards the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite. They attack, but with only one arm they are forced to get more creative in their attacks now, as they use their legs in tandem with their one remaining arms-
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ships #1-4
Initializing improved attack!
The E-AndroIs Mk-II ships say to themselves, as they proceed to continue to attack both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite. They use tactics now, having two of them go in to attack the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite, while the other two remaining E-AndroIs Mk-II ships provide support-however, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite will now engage their weapons, as they continue working in tandem with each other-
Captain Phillip Kai
...!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...!
A brief shot of both Captains smiling will be shown, as they now proceed to systematically destroy their attackers. By using their weapons, they shoot holes into the limbs of the four damaged E-AndroIs Mk-II ships, crippling them and then firing one last shot into each of their heads and chests-
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #1
?!
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #2
?!
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #3
?!
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #4
?!
As these blasts enter the bodies of these E-AndroIs Mk-II ships, several huge explosions occur-
"EXPLOUSION! x4"
As these explosions begin to dissipate, the last remaining E-AndroIs Mk-II ship is left alone, as it speaks to itself-
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #5
"Situation untenable...?!"
Just then, both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite take aim at the final E-AndroIs Mk-II ship. As they are about to fire, they then say-
Captain Phillip Kai
Jack-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Pot!
With that, both Captain Heaven and Phillip then fire their weapons directly at the E-AndroIs Mk-II ship, engulfing it in a powerful energy blast. It puts up it's arms against itself to protect it's body-but the blast from both the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite is just too strong-
E-AndroIs Mk-II Ship #5
?!
As the energy blast from the Hydra Noon and Blue Aphrodite continues, the force from their attacks propel the fifth E-AndroIs Mk-II ship backwards, heading towards the battling Superior Weapons and Maneuvers overhead. As the blast dissipates, the smoking E-AndroIs Mk-II is just about to erupt-but it will do so while heading towards the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake-who are now seen grinding their swords against several Superior AndroIs. They won't see the incoming E-AndroIs Mk-II ship approaching them from behind, as both Captain Heaven and Captain Phillip will notice this-
Captain Phillip Kai
Oh no!
Captain Phillip says, as he now quickly fumbles to get his comms connected to the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake. Captain Heaven also does this, to which as their voices reach out to them, they say-
Captain Phillip Kai
Perle! Sabrina!
Captain Heaven Risingstar
Behind you!
Now, back with Bijou, her friends, Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya, they will now hear what Captain Heaven says over the comms and knock off the attacking Superior AndroIs in front of them. They then look behind them to see-
Bijou Luisant
Hm?
Perle Luisant
What?!
Now, the fifth E-AndroIs Mk-II ship is just about to erupt-just in front of both the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake. The two Divides can only bring up their arms around their cockpits, as Sabrina says-
Sabrina Madison
Is it too late?!
Divitiya Iran
!
Just then, a light cuts through the E-AndroIs Mk-II ship, cutting it cleanly in half. As the two halves split off and fly off into space, the pieces of the ship then explode-safely away from the Liberty ErotiCake Mk-II and Tyranny ErotiCake. Surprised, Perle asks-
Perle Luisant
...What...just happened?!
Divitiya then speaks-
Divitiya Iran
I believe we can thank...that person all the way back over there.
Perle Luisant
...!
Sabrina Madison
...!
Now, all the way back on one of the sides of Neith, four Divides will be shown to have been watching the battle that Bijou, Perle and their friends were engaged in. One of the Divides, a new D4 Divide, will sheath it's sword now, to which in one of the other D3 Divides, Commander Idris speaks-
Commander Idris Requiem
...Awesome. Rhapsody is truly amazing to destroy one of the RF's dreadnoughts from such a distance...just to save her daughter...
Commander Idris says, to which inside of the new D4 Divide, Rhapsody will be seen. She will now shed a tear, as she then speaks over the comms to-
Rhapsody Luisant
...My daughter, Bijou...it's been so long since I've held you in my arms...
Bijou Luisant
!
Rhapsody says, as she looks happy, as the chapter then ends-
-CHAPTER END-
