Stellar Lilim Legacy - Chapter 2

Battle in the Star

Cousin, sorry to let you wait for a long time. Stellar finally contacted me. This is the first battle in the stars for her and Stargazer. Her Admiralty will be proved this time.

Now, my husband and I encountered an unknown creature. It is like a huge flying squid with a lot of tentacles. And after it attacked a scientist's vessel. We know immediately it's hostile.

Our Fleet has 8 Corvettes. But for me, only the Corvette is still large. However, judging for their size and unknown tactic. We might on-par with those creatures. No, maybe weaker. Because stellarian is still new to space like me.

What used to achieve this fight. It is the admiralty of Stargazer. And maybe me too. It's time to engage. I sent a Video to the contact and enjoyed the Video.

Video File no.2: The first Star battle.

- Stargazer: "All fleet! Man your battle station! Prepare to engage the Beta-Alien!

There's a fact that those creatures aren't Alpha-Alien. Because stellar is an Alpha-Alien already.

- Stellar: "What are those gigantic creatures?"

- Stargazer: "I don't know what it is. But we know it's hostile."

- Stellar: "Stargazer! Our fleet might be on-par or 10% weaker! We need reinforcement!"

- Stargazer: "I wish too. But the reinforcement is still far away. Plus, We're new to space. We have only this fleet and another building fleet. But there's one thing we could achieve victory….the Admiralty.

- Stellar: "Admiralty?"

- Stargazer: "You're an admiral, don't you?"

Stellar understands in a few words. For fleet battle, not only ships are important. People are also important. People motivate the ships. No people, although the ship is advanced, it's useless.

And the Leader is the most important. Leader commands and leads the fleet in strategic ways. It's like driving a vehicle. If the one drives badly, the Accident increases, leading to permanent death not only that one but also passengers. The driver is the Admiral. The Passengers are crews. And vehicles are ships. The system is like her homeworld back then. Only she might have to adapt to spaceship a lot.

- Stargazer: "You might be an admiral. But you still have to learn a lot, like me. Everyone can learn for a lifetime. And for us, Astrain. Learning directly from real situations is the best!"

Stellar said nothing but nodded. The ship then opened fire at the Beta-Alien. Not for long, the swarm of Beta-Alien attacked our vessels. There're 6 minor aliens and there's a mother one at the centre. Surprisingly, those creatures can fire blue energy. The shield protects the vessel. And not for long, it deployed a lot of Smaller aliens fighters.

- Stargazer: " Fire at the maximum effect! We divide it into 2 sections! One attack mother one and another destroy the Little one! a section attacks one enemy at once! Engage at all costs!

Stellar could see his pattern. His trait in combat is aggressive. Maybe unyielding one but Maybe a potential Trickster too. He's inside confused between these two. He's good enough. But She can help him too.

- Stargazer: Attention! Watch those creatures attacking and defending closely! I need to know if it relies on shield or armour!

- Stellar: Stargazer! We should attack at a blind point and rely on speed. Those creatures can fire blue beams. But the beam is really slow!

Stargazer glare at Stellar. She jerked as if she was doing anything wrong or teaching the great ruler like a master or something. But Stargazer smiled.

- Stargazer: Yes, you're right! But we need to transfer energy to Engine more too. I will be thinking about it.

- Stellar: Does this ship class use shields much?

- Stargazer: The protection of shields is . We still cannot waste our protection too…

- Stellar: Then, our armament?

- Stargazer: Oh!, you're right! We have 2 lasers and 1 kinetics! Let's see it's weakness.

From one of the Creatures destroyed. It has a strong shield. But it is weak on the hull. However, it can still regenerate. And there's a lot of creature strike craft too. But stargazers have a plan.

- Stargazer: "Attention! We focus on Kinetic and One laser. One laser must lower fire! Make use of power to Boost the engine power to dodge those beams! Once it's shield down! Fire Lasers at all costs!"

One of the Creatures broke one of the Corvettes' shields. And when it hit again. The armour damaged quickly.

- Stargazer: "Oh, no! Those creatures seem to be good at attacking armour!"

- Stellar: "We must rely on speed, then!"

- Stargazer: "Your word is right at first! Every Ship! Overload power and engine all cost! Hold your ship and fire back!"

Stellar sees he's adaptable well. But he is really aggressive in combat. It seems that one corvette was badly damaged. The ship is on fire

- Corvette Capt: "Help us! We're tearing apart! The fire is spreading!

- Stargazer: "Lock the air and let the Vacuum blow the fire out! Tell every crew member to wear an environment sealing suit! The fire and Vacuum can take your breath away! Resist and bite!"

Stellar sees this strange method to Halt fire. It seems it's the method in space itself. Still, is Stargazer really a newbie in space? But…he's too unyielding.

- Stellar: "This ship class can travel faster than light, right?"

- Stargazer: "Yes! Why?"

- Stellar: Tell that ship to jump off immediately!

- Stargazer: But that ship can still fight! If I retreat, the firepower and their hornor…"

- Stellar: Ignore it! The crew life is the matter! And we could repair it later. We could have repaired the ship combined with a new one to take revenge with more forces!"

Stargazer silenced a little bit. Before he sent a kind of Signal to that ship. It's a signal of emergency Jumping.

As I thought, Stargazer was the unyielding one, at least for now. I do not offend him. He is intelligent in fleet combat and he has a lot of wills and Persistence. But sometimes, we can't rely on one side. We must take the Centerpoint, gather all the advantages together. Like this one, the Standing ground is good for defending. But when It's no use, one must retreat and recover strength. However, it's not all retreat. One other ship must stand and do the retreat in one part. Trickster is the best.

I made a pattern here. Once a ship is too damaged. That ship must retreat if possible. But the fleet is still held until it's no use. This method of travelling over lightspeed is useful. And plus, Stargazer listens to my advice although I am more newbie than him. He's the one that seeks knowledge, Fast learner and adaptable. I have a heart for him.

We're working well, those smaller creatures are wiping out slowly. We lost 1 ship which retreated now. Others are damaged or heavily damaged but still fightable. But then, a bad situation happened to us…

The Ship flies at an extremely high speed to enter the blind spot and shoot Creatures. Little we know after we fly through it. Creatures accidentally get in our way. Stargazer command to Avoid it all cost, in level to send every weapon energy to the Engine. But still not enough…

The creature's tentacle crashed into the ship's command bridge. Causing the window to break. And we're sucked out

Video File no.3: The Edge of the Dead

BAMMM!

The Ship just crashed into the Tentacle, causing the window to break. Now, the air leaked and sucked everything out.

But one thing strikes into Stellar, It's Fear. She remembered what Stargazer said. There's no air outside this ship. If She went out without a spacesuit, It means she had no air, and she's dead. She knows this well.

- Stargazer: "Everyone holds something! Wait for Gel sealing!

The Gel sealing is used when the ship is leaked and not heavily damaged. It's a Gel that will flow toward the hole. When it is filled up, it will be dry and hardened. (Cousin, this technology exists in the Gundam universe, I got that reference when she contacted me.)

However, the air is sucked out faster than anyone's thought. Everyone, including our Stargazer who is holding his chair, holds their position well, even though it's hard. But not for Stellar, who didn't expect this.

She couldn't grab the iron bar and lost her position…She is being sucked out

- Stellar: "HELP ME STARGAZER!"

- Stargazer: "STELLAR!"

In a flash of thought. Stellar is full of despair. The despair of death. The despair of being alone in the place she likes. The despair of losing the man she loves. She instantly prays for everything. The Demon Lord, The Chief God, Whatever God, Star Entity, or even….Stargazer himself.

Surprisingly...Who made the wish come true, is Stargazer himself…

This is unnatural. But Stargazer is using some kind of Psionic power. The ship shakes and electricity emits around him as he glows, the light itself looks like the light from the sun. Only much weaker. The light particles emit around him.

Stargazer is using this Psionic power to pull Stellar not to be sucked out in space. And It worked. Stellar is held mid-air.

Stellar feels surprised and Joy. And plus, the love, the heartbeat from the Stargazer. He's hard-working, polite, caring and protective. And he has this amazing hidden power.

Surprising;y, her body glowing in response. Stellar feeling heat. But it's just a warm heart. And she feels like her "Polluted" part of her demonic energy is reacting toward his Psionic power.

At least, the Gel sealed the mirror. And the ship is safe again. The Air pressure rose again as the life support system pumped the air in. Stargazer and his crew are saved. Including Stellar. Stellar was surprised and approved of Stargazer's ability.

But then, Stargazer heard screams from the terminal.

"We've broken apart!"

"The Ship is lost!"

"May the Star be with us after death!"

"Ahhhhhh Help!"

"Fight you, newbie! You're not a crybaby! We have a Warrior culture! Rise and Help yourself and us! We've been through to-zzzzzzzzzz"

"We're doomed!"

As the Phisonic power, he achieved. He suddenly felt the suffering of the crew. And Death.

When he looked outside the window, 3 corvettes were destroyed in front of his eyes. The Depression struck in his heart.

- Stargazer: "I...am sorry….I...I couldn't save you…"

His tears flow from his eyes. Another crew member couldn't see it. But stellar, who watched after he saw. And It's not ordinary sadness. When she looks into his eyes and feels his heart. She could feel...depression.

I am surprised by the Ability of Stargazer. He has a polluted part of my power. Although for him, it's not polluted. And he saved me. I owe him.

But somehow, His heart is….sadden. He could barely bear the loss. I can feel that he's crying inside, harder than I imagine. Even when I commanded the fleet, I didn't cry this hard.

Or because it's his kindness? But I can feel another thing...Stress...His stress is heavier than another crew. I can feel it. Is it because he's a Clan Speaker with high Responsibility?

I knew one flaw about him now...Mental Stress. And It's actually deadly. It is like a Plage. It slowly consumes and eats you until you are physically ill and die.

He endured it. He never cries in front of the crew. Such charisma serves for an Empire leader. Finally, the last blue laser has struck its head. The creatures become completely dead. All dead.

The Result is, we're victorious. But Stargazer seemed stressed, so he decided to take a rest. He prepared a room for me. And he said I will be in his care. I'm not afraid that there'll be a lot of scientists coming for me. I am a sentient being and I'm the only Lilim here. Astrain people even have to protect me as an agent of the Mamono. The only one.

Plus, Stargazer is a nice guy, also his empire ethic has spiritualism. Doing the bad experiment on unwilling volunteers is against this ethic. Actually, It's commonly wrong.

But one thing, Although he didn't tell me. But I know from the depth of my heart, which reached his psionic power.

He has a heart for me...and He wants to raise me…

I will pause this story only. I shall contact you soon, sorry for late contact.

Your welcome. I already have another story in my language and life too. I could keep up with Maximum 2 stories. It's a pity, but it would be easier to continue the story.

This story I contacted, I heard from Stellar that it wouldn't. But maybe it is if she and I keep having an idea to add. However, thank you for your support.

Next episode would be the Mental problem of Stargazer. On my Stellaris server, I made a lot of Sci-fi faction and I roleplayed it. Even monster girls and Anime factions exist. But for this contact, I couldn't know. Because the wonders lie in the stars.

I have nothing to list here. Thank you.

End of Episode.
