(*Disclaimer: Apologies again for the long wait. I was not satisfied with the previous document and decided to revamp it. I added some extra content that was initially going to be in the next chapter.*)

The Remnant ships had gained into squadron formations in front of the Initiative and Angaran fleets to project a full dark metal wall that provided as a giant shield in preparation for the tidal wave of missiles advancing across the span of the battlefield. The shower of deadly projectiles became a downpour of fiery rain turning into an eruption overspread of explosions bursting over the surface of the Remnant barrier with thunderous blasts resonating after the devastating impacts.

Pathfinder Ryder had quickly spun his head away, raising one of his arms to offer cover for his eyesight from the brief combustions of light, and slowly peered over his forearm upon the view of Kett vessels firing another cascade of missiles starting their swift sweep forward and again taking aim upon the Remnant's shielding matrix. The flooding shower of rockets made their impact, instanteously spreading a cloud of explosions.

Scott grimaced annoyance, "Damn it! When are they going to give us a break?!"

Lieutenant Harper had momentarily turned her head to supply retort over her shoulder, "They're Kett, Ryder! They DON'T give breaks!"

"Well, I'd like to call for a time out!" The human Pathfinder protested out loud.

The female Jardaan stood behind Pathfinder Ryder with a worried look fixated on the glowing yellow-green orb above her left wrist. Lamees expressed fearfulness in her exclaim, "This is not good!"

Cora Harper gave a glance toward the female Jardaan and hinted anxiousness in her demand, "What's wrong, Lamees?!"

"The systems are beginning to fail! The Tehet's constant attacks are adversely depleting the Remnant's power reserves. The shield is becoming weakened!"

The Initiative Lieutenant cursed under her breath, "Shit!" Cora quickly returned her attention up to the Pathfinder, "Ryder, we need a plan! All of our fleets are going to be defenseless!"

Sam's robotic voice announced over the broadcast relay to give warning, "The barrier will not be able to withstand another assault."

Ryder quipped slight agitation, "Yeah, I think I got that the first time, Sam-"

The artificial intelligence abruptly injected warning, "Another missile launch is detected."

Scott had dropped his arm down to his side and half-spun around to look down to the Jardaan technician, "Incoming! Lamees, I hope you got something for us!"

"Yes, of course I do!" Lamees had nodded up to the Initiative Pathfinder, narrowing her gaze briefly before returning her attention onto the hovering orb above her arm, "Malvizon, call upon the Vyjonth! Take position in front of the Remnant forces and prevent the Tehet's weapons from breaching through!"

Pathfinder Ryder returned his direction forward, quickly adverting his sight onto the wave of missiles beginning the ascent across the wide stretch of darkness. Scott suddenly glanced back and forth to either sides of the starboard window taking view of the Scourge's golden fiery threads suddenly emerging from the outer reaches of the space field and rapidly spreading to converge together in front of the Remnant's projection shield. The advancing missiles abruptly collided into the wall of woven tendrils and promptly detonated into a bursting spray that spanned across the barrier-formed dark energy cloud.

"Whoa! That's amazing!" Sara had briefly gaped into the state of surprise, "I didn't know the Scourge could do something like this!"

Pathfinder Ryder remarked in sarcasm, "We didn't think it had any practicality.. well, except destroying things." The human man trailed off but suddenly whirled around to return onto Lamees, "Wait a minute! I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner; use it against the Kett! Lamees, can you command the Scourge to go after their ships?!"

The female Jardaan had expressed a brief glowered look up to Scott, answering in the sound of discouragement, "The Vyjonth's original concept was meant to create, NOT destroy..." She shifted her weight briefly onto the other leg and diverted a glance past the Initiative Pathfinder with a sly smile crossing her orange red-colored lips, "In this case, I suppose it can purposed for this such occasion." Lamees affirmed command, "Malvizon, redirect the Vyjonth toward the Tehet crafts and tear them apart!"

"I can't wait to see this! Sam, bring it on screen." Ryder spun around diverting to the Pathfinder's navigational controls and raised his gaze onto the glow of one of the projection windows suddenly igniting to display the overview of the fiery webbings quickly reaching out for the Kett warships.

The enemy battalion immediately commenced defensive counter measures by drenching the chasm of darkness under a shower of glowing bullets, together with a bombardment of missiles, in the attempt to fend off against the mass of dark energy.

Scott raised his hands to place down onto the navigational control board and slowly curled his fingers to grip over the edge of the metal construct in waiting anticipation as the Scourge had become vibrant with a relentless barrage of ammunitions. Pathfinder Ryder adverted his gaze to the sight of three large-sized rockets quickly coming from around the Scourge cloud, leaving behind dense smoke trails in their approach.

"Uh... Sam? What are those?"

The artificial intelligence supplied warning broadcast to all allied communications, "Sensor relays online; detection weapon type indicates the missiles have the same capability comparable to small nuclear warheads. Their flight trajectories are altering course to converge together at a central impact point. The targeting systems are locked onto our coordinates.

Warning; present condition of the Remnant defenses have sustained severe damage due to the previous inflictions and will not be able to withstand a direct impact. I recommend evasive maneuvers."

"Oh great, just what we need; Kett with nuclear bombs." Ryder murmured disgruntlement.

Pathfinder Hayjer made a hasty objection, "There isn't enough time to disengage the ship's siege lockdown! The process needs several minutes to revert from the energy conversion before the thruster systems can come back online!"

"Fuck!" Scott cursed out loud, dropping his hands down to form into fists at his sides, and turned a glare toward Lumont, "Are you kidding?! This is going to leave us vulnerable, Hayjer! Dying is NOT my list of things to do today!" Ryder spun his head to return a narrowed look toward the starboard window and demanded out loud, "What about our anti-missile systems? Will they shoot them down?!"

The Salarian Pathfinder quickly shook his head, "I don't think any of our weapons will work to stop them! We didn't know that the Kett would actually have this type of weapon in their arsenal!"

Cora sneered angrily as she turned a glance toward the human Pathfinder and demanded, "When the HELL did the Kett have these kind of weapons in the first place? I bet the bastards were saving it as a last resort!"

"Which is now..." Scott muttered and made the call, "Sam! Call the rest of the fleets to get to safety! We're stuck, so... let's try to figure something out, fast... like right NOW kind of FAST!"

"Initializing the retreat broadcast relay to the fleets." Sam had acknowledged in response prior prompting the communication systems for a withdrawal announcement.

Ryder turned his narrowed gaze onto the Turian co-pilot, "Fire one of the disruptor torpedoes! Or something! Anything that works from turning us into radioactive barbeque!"

Sam's calm voice injected, "That would be inadvisable, Pathfinder. The energy disruption range would come within proximity of this ship's exterior, inadvertently causing more harm than good."

Pathfinder Ryder murmured irritably, "Great! Thanks for the info, Sam! That's NOT really helping us right now!"

The female Jardaan abruptly shoved Scott aside with a hard shoulder bash into his ribcage, forcing the human man to take a step back, permitting Lamees to take the stand in front of the Pathfinder's control board.

"Lamees, what are you doing?!" Scott had expressed an annoyed look.

Lamees disregarded Ryder's demand, quickly outstretching one of her hands to touch her palm flatly onto the navigational starboard and raised her commanding voice, "Malvizon, move the Remnant barrier forward and keep the blast as far away from this ship as possible! Initialize all remaining power resources into the barricade! Sam, I'm uploading a synchronizing program that will connect Mal into your network's mainframe. Extract power from my armor and use it to maximize the ship's shielding systems!"

"What are you-" Ryder started to ask again but quickly adverted his narrowed look from the Jardaan to the viewing window and watched the ancient Remnant ships speedily advance forward drawing the metal shielding matrix to provide safe distance between the blasting range of the warheads and the Destroyer vessel.

Cora took a step back and turned a worried glance toward the human Pathfinder, "Ah, shit! They're coming in close! We might still be within range of a shockwave, Ryder!"

Scott quipped without looking toward Lieutenant Harper's direction, "At least our chances are better off than the alternative!"

The fleet of Remnant ships broadened their rays of red glowing beams expanding the height and width to a greater length to supply a strengthened enforcement into the protective barrier in preparation for the devastating explosion. The armed projectile weapons ultimately converged together, instantly impacting into a collision explosion that ignited into a soundless rupture that vastly spread out and covered the Remnant's dark metal wall.

"Sam, initiate the window radiation screen!" Lumont Hayjer called out.

An dark tinted overlay suddenly dropped down to cover and conform over the shape of the rounded viewing window to provide as a protective film from the intense brightness of the warheads' explosions while offering the sight of the glowing Remnant ships being overtaken and consumed by the profound combustion.

Sam announced the warning call, "The Remnant fleets have been destroyed, alternatively, the barrier has provided the necessary protection by greatly reducing the radius of the blast. However, sensors give indication that accelerated vibrations have been produced from the detonation. This vessel remains within distance to feel the adverse affects of the shock waves. Shielding systems will be breached within fifteen seconds. I advise that all crew members brace for impact."

"This is what I was preparing for.." Lamees shouted, "MAL! DIVERT POWER TO THE SHIP'S MAIN DEFENSES! NOW!"

An unseen burst suddenly struck and forcefully rocked the ship causing an uncontrollable shudder to rebound within the interior structure of the Destroyer ship. The surrounding crew members in the Bridge room were caught staggering in their places and abruptly thrown down to the floor.

"URK!" A pained grunt escaped through Scott's clenched teeth as the Pathfinder was forced upon his back onto the metal flooring. Ryder gradually regained sense of awareness, reopening his eyes, and grunted in his motions to prop himself onto his elbows into sitting half-upright. "Shit..." He murmured and quickly turned his head to look around the main flight deck. He firstly found both the Turian and Salarian Pathfinder sprawled on the floor on either sides of the co-pilot's chair. Scott briefly grimaced, tightly closing his eyes in his movements to regain into a standing posture and managed to ask out loud, "Is everyone alright?" Ryder spied the human Lieutenant's body lying upon her side with back forcefully pressed against the extension platform's framework and the Angaran pilot on the floor at the foot of her seat. Pathfinder Ryder carefully spun to turn his gaze onto the female Jardaan weakly arising to stand upright and quickly wrapped her arms to grip hold onto the Pathfinder's navigational console.

Malvizon's deep robotic voice conveyed a fearful sound, "Lamees, power systems have dropped to critical levels! We must disconnect from-"

"Hold the connection.. with Sam.. we must ensure that we are truly safe.." Lamees had affirmed in heavy weighted panting. The Jardaan technician's body shuddered violently in her struggle to stand.

Scott quickly reacted to catch Lamees from stumbling backwards by taking a step forward and outstretching both of his arms to loop around the Jardaan's waist offering his strength as leverage to hold her upright.

Lamees turned her head to peer over her shoulder and murmured gratefully, "Thank you.."

"Are you going to be alright, Lamees?"

"Yes.. just very tired.." The female Jardaan slowly nodded in her reply.

Pathfinder Ryder remarked, "That was a bold move. I didn't know you were able to do that."

"It's costly on my life support systems but they will recharge.. What matters is the safety of this crew.. I have done all that I can."

Scott asked worriedly, "Are you sure you're going to be okay? Can you stand?"

Lamees nodded again, responding in exhausted sound, "I am able to.."

Ryder pulled his arms away allowing them to drop at his sides and granted Lamees to stand on her own. He carefully watched the Jardaan technician slowly walk around him and begin her way across the extension platform. Pathfinder Ryder diverted his direction to glance around again, asking out loud, "Sam, what's our status?"

Sam's voice offered response over the communication speakers, "The ship has sustained no significant damage. I am receiving reports of minor inflictions brought upon a small fraction of this ship's crew members. There are no accounts to add to the casualty list."

"That's... a positive way of looking at it." Scott lightly shrugged his shoulders. He had ultimately turned attentiveness onto his sibling's motionless body lying face down on the metal floor in the middle of the Bridge room. "Sara? Ah, shit! Sara!" He called out, his voice giving hint to the sound of rising panic. His boots loudly clattered across the Pathfinder's platform in his race toward his sister's body. Scott quickly dropped down to his knees beside Sara's body and quickly outstretched one of his hands to reach out for her. "Sara?! SARA!"

The human woman's arms were splayed upon the floor to either sides of her head. Sara gradually stirred with a shudder crawling down her body. She quietly groaned in her very gradual motions, turning her head over to peel one of her eyelids open and looked around as if in a dazed state. "Hmmph... wha- Sc-Scott? What.. happened?"

Scott replied with sarcasm, "Well, you know that feeling you get when you shake a popcorn bag? Something like that... but at least we didn't get to find out what it's like to be in a microwave."

"That's a relief.." Sara murmured.

Pathfinder Ryder extended his arms out, offering support while Sara slowly pushed herself onto her knees. Scott permitted his twin to lean her body weight into his side as they began to rise and stand together.

Sara grumbled, "Scott, I'm alright. You don't have to treat me like I've twisted my ankle or something... Besides, I'm the older sibling. I'm supposed to be looking out for you."

"And I'm the Pathfinder. It's my job to look out for you.. and all of the other crazies here in Andromeda." Scott corresponded with a smirk and momentarily glanced into the direction of the other crew members within the Bridge area gradually gathering themselves. The Turian and Angaran pilots momentarily staggered to regain into their seats. The human Lieutenant shook off the notions of disorientation while the Salarian Pathfinder had made swift recovery to rise onto his feet.

"Pathfinder," Sam began, "I recommend that an investigation be implemented. Based upon the knowledge and study gained about the different types of Kett artillery, this particular weapon type does not appear to be a genuine model. After analyzing the data results, it is perceived to have the same capabilities as nuclear technology, which can only be found in Ark Hyperion's and Nexus records."

Cora Harper managed to stand, using the extension platform as a solid structure to leverage herself to prop upright onto her knees. She leaned her weight against the metal construct to maintain balance and finally attain into a standing posture. The Lieutenant lifted her head to direct attention up to the human Pathfinder and stated her worry, "That can't be coincidental. I bet the Archon downloaded the information when he apprehended the Ark. Now the Primus is using that data to build nuclear warheads AND using them against us!"

Lumont Hayjer offered, "There's no mistake, the tides are going to be turned against us if the Kett have indeed obtained the technology. We must send this information to the Director Tann right away."

"It's definitely something to worry about.." Scott muttered in agreement. "We'll have to find a way to-"

The Ethar-Juson Captain's voice received over the broadcast transmission, "Scott, our warning systems have identified another squadron of Kett vessels on course for this star cluster. They will arrive momentarily."

Ryder spun his head to look into the direction toward the starboard control console and out loudly demanded, "WHAT?! How many?!" He gave a quick glance down to Sara before easing himself away from his sister and returned forward to race for the navigational systems.

Sam supplied correspondence, "There are multiple Flagship signatures and two additional Combat Battle Cruisers in bound for this system's coordinates."

Scott loudly expressed his agitation, "What the fuck?! Where are they all coming from?!" He hurried across the extension platform to take his place at the bow of the ship. Pathfinder Ryder glanced into the direction of the dark energy cloud and inquired, "Sam, what's the status on the first Kett fleets? Were their ships destroyed by the Scourge?"

"The Kett forces remain on grid, Pathfinder. None have been destroyed."

"God damn it-" The human Pathfinder let out a heavy to quickly compose military form and raised the question, "Did the Angaran and Initiative fleets make it out of here at least?"

"Yes, they have arrived in the Pytheas star system moments prior the nuclear warheads' detonation." The artificial intelligence answered calmly.

Scott expressed a sigh of relief, "Good.. but that leaves us alone to deal with the Kett.. and it doesn't look like this party is going to be over any time soon.. Hey, Sky? Are you still with us?"

Sky quipped diligently, "The Ethar-Juson fleets remain, Scott."

The artificial intelligence gave alert over the broadcast relay systems, "Detection sensors have received incoming warp signatures. The second wave of Kett ships are beginning arrival."

"Sky, keep your ships hidden until I give the signal! Sam, put the Kett on screen!" Pathfinder Ryder quickly returned his attention forward onto the enlarged projection screen lighting up the view of a vast armada of Kett crafts suddenly emerging from warp bubbles to take a flank position from across the massive span of the space field. Ryder outstretched his arms to place his hands upon the Pathfinder's navigation systems. Scott cocked his eyebrow, asking aloud in nonchalant sound, "Should I be surprised they're trying to box us in?"

Pathfinder Hayjer supplied objection, "Having a newly built ship destroyed in its first battle might prove impractical for a just cause, Ryder. This ship is not fitted to withstand a legion of Kett all at once."

Scott smirked slyly toward the Salarian Pathfinder's direction, "Don't worry, Hayjer, we'll make it out without a scratch. You'll see."

Sara uttered sarcasm under her breath, "Uhh, that's reassuring.. considering how many times you dented mom's hover car in the past.."

"The Kett have launched their fighters, Pathfinder. They are inbound for our coordinates." Sam hailed warning.

Pathfinder Ryder redirected his full attention forward to the large display screen and curled his lips further into a beaming grin. "Alright, Sky, let's see what your people can do!"

The rush of a cold shiver raced down Scott's spine as the Captain of the Ethar-Juson forces commanded in a resonating echo, "Deactivating cloaking systems. Coordinating network configurations for combat. Fleet communication frequencies open. Active-defense weaponry and auto-targeting systems online."

A shroud of glowing light started a swift flow, from one side of the great chasm of darkness to the other, to quickly bask the battlefield with green radiance. The brilliance of the light curtain rapidly dispersed just as quickly as it had covered over the expansion of space in the revealing of the dark silver armada. The Ethar-Juson flotillas were split into two separate full scale squadrons, taking placement as wall formations directly behind each of the Kett's front lines and boxing the enemy fleets in. Two Titan crafts were among the ranks of the various ship scale sizes, one each taking defensive position behind each of the Ethar-Juson battalions.

Scott quickly turned his side-to-side, glancing to both sides of the starboard window, and found a handful of silver space crafts, including a Carrier class and some Force Auxiliary vessels with a mixture of battleships, lying in defensive formations on either sides of the Destroyer ship.

Sky continued the sound of command over the broadcasting relays, "Deploy enhancement defenses and cover the Pathfinder's vessel with an energy barrier. Dispatching fighter drones to commence interception with Kett forces."

The human Pathfinder observed a beam of light projecting from one of the reserve ships to overlay the starboard's viewing window under a silver translucent glow. Ryder quickly adverted his attention to the sight of a silver cascade falling from the Carrier's under belly as swarms of smooth oval-shaped drone fighters were launched from the giant bay. The drone ships abruptly spray-scattered into all directions with long glowing green light tails trailing behind giving the appearance of a visual light show. Kett forces were immediately confronted by the dark silver drones as the unfathomable swiftness of the small crafts began their advancement, starting into a circling rotations and immediately barraging enemy fighters under rapid laser fire. The Tri'sar-plas'conic high energy frequencies effortlessly seared through the defense shielding systems, ultimately breaching through the exterior hulls, and igniting the enemy ships into sudden explosions.

"Captain Neyblix, the Kett are altering trajectory to realign their cannons. They are rebounding with counter attack against our fleets. Missiles launched and inbound for our ships." The voice of Lieutenant Kalis announced over the broadcast transmitters.

"Confirmed, Lieutenant. Set full power to the Auxiliary systems and divert to forward shielding. Activating deflection output. Bring the Plaz'rah-cor disruptors online."

"Affirmative, Captain. Engaging deflection systems."

Scott turned his head back and forth to glance between the two outside Ethar-Juson groups and quickly raised attentiveness to one of the Ethar-Juson's great-sized battleships located behind the first Kett fleet. The silver vessel projected an intensified Tri'sar energy beam that suddenly divided into countless light rays and funneled outward to simultaneous lock onto the incoming wave of missiles. The rockets were caught under the green energy beams' light, abruptly seizing the projectiles in mid course and prompted the detonation mechanisms to spontaneously erupt into brilliant bursts before reaching their targets.

Ryders's expression contorted into gaped amazement, momentarily dropping his jaw and widening his eyes, "How the.. what kind of disruptors are those?"

Sam imparted explanation, "The Plaz'rah'-cor Disruptors are cataloged in the Ethar-Juson archive, Pathfinder. They produce an energy frequency capable of rendering an artillery weapon's fire power ineffective, essentially, disabling all primary functions, or alternatively triggering premature detonation. Additionally, it is efficient against space crafts as well. This anti-weapons system is similar to the Initiative's Electromagnetic Pulse but in a condensed-controlled form. Its properties can be used against selected targets without adversely disabling our own devices."

"That's pretty damn impressive." Cora remarked in astonishment. "This certainly would have been useful in the fight with the Archon.."

Pathfinder Ryder made an agreeable nod toward the human Lieutenant, "It definitely ups our odds of winning.. speaking of, I hope this isn't the grand finale. I'd actually like to see more what the Ethar-Juson have to offer."

Sky offered retort in devious tone, "This battle is yet to be over. I am being generous and building the anticipation for you, Scott."

Ryder returned sarcastically, "How considerate of you, Sky... you're at least going to save me some of the action, right?" He adverted his attention onto the Ethar-Juson Carrier ship.

"This is meant to add to your understanding of our technology-"

Lieutenant Kalis' voice injected, "Captain Neyblix, the Kett vessels are locking onto our ships. They are preparing to fire their cannons."

Sky retained military composure and gave the order, "Intercept weapon fire."

The human Pathfinder diverted forward onto the viewing window and called out in hasty sound, "Sam, can you get this on screen?"

An enlarged projection screen appeared on the right side of the starboard window and hovered in place allowing the crew members to watch the various Kett ships lining direction for their cannons to take aim toward the Ethar-Juson fleets to begin unleashing retaliation fire.

Green strings of light suddenly zipped across the ravine of darkness from the unseen turrets as the dark silver ships supplied a nullifying strike, causing a collision with the ammunitions to abruptly impact into a devastation of eruptions that filled the space field between the opposing factions with a giant mass of explosions.

Missile blasts rebounded against the silver transparent barriers and briefly lighted the Ethar-Juson's defense systems aglow as the protective shielding sustained against the small explosions from scathing the silver ships. A squadron of polished vessels swiftly gained into v-shaped flight formation, easily passing through the silver glowing shield, and began the charge toward the battle front. The Assault Frigate vessels were smoothly designed, taking resemblance to the shape of almonds with the bows of the ships slightly curved down, with two glowing green bands of light running horizontally on either sides of the under bellies of each craft.

A great volley of yellow glowing bullets expanded into a wide spray as the Kett regiments continued to discharge another progressing cascade of bullets. The Ethar-Juson crafts swayed with astounding speed, effortlessly avoiding the raining flurry of bullets, and progressed in their advancement upon the Kett fleets. Enemy frigate class vessels intercepted by unloading another spray of bullets in the attempt to hinder the small legion of Ethar-Juson assault ships. The silver crafts returned the exchange of gunfire with an unyielding shower of energy beams that effectively pierced through the exterior hulls of the Kett ships, completely searing through the dark green metal, and igniting the interiors of the enemy space crafts with a green glowing implosion before setting the vessels to spontaneously explode.

"Whoa! THAT is incredible!" Cora Harper had expressed her amazement.

"Drone infiltration sequence initializing." The voice of Captain Skryonn spoke in firm sound, "Lieutenant Zlarik, make ready your ships to prepare for combat."

The low rumbling voice of the Bhlil-lyth Lieutenant responded in the obvious sound of battle-ready agitation, "Acknowledged, Captain. Beginning approach."

The Ethar-Juson's Battleship class ships began breaking from their formations to gather into a reformed squadrons on both sides of the battlefield. Each ship appeared as if the space crafts were turned to fly upright on the longer extending wings like grand standing towers. On the very top of the ship a short wing fin was built upon the main command center which took resemblance of a narrowed beak extending forward from the hull's framework. Just below, on either sides of the ship's central construction design consisted of two pontoons stretching far forward and causing a large gap in between. The weaponry systems consisted of gun batteries running in a single horizontal line on the outer sides of the separated extensions.

(*Disclaimer: I took example of Eve Online's Gallente Myrmidon ship*)

Pathfinder Ryder returned his sight onto the fighter drones reforming their structural framework into the shape of broad head arrow tips as the small ships regrouped into a green swarm cloud that began swiftly moving forward. The Ethar-Juson drones were swift to overwhelm the first of the enemy fleets under a glowing tidal wave, abruptly dropping from formation, and sharply impaling through the dark green exterior metal. Using their broadened edges, the small fighters were able to secure their small hulls within the interior framework of the Kett ships and began forcibly integrating a connection uplink into the crafts' electronic circuitry.

"Our drones have successfully breached, Captain Neyblix." Lieutenant Kalis announced over the communications speakers. "Attempting to suppressing the bypass security protocols. System lock down established. Seizing control of flight guiding systems. The enemy ships are now under our command, Captain."

Sky sounded with combative diligence, "Return course and set their targeting systems onto their own ships."

The controlled Assault Frigates had circled around in order to fully divert their flight paths to line direction for their own forces and accelerated forward, promptly engaging a barrage of missiles and zipping bullets.

"Flight guiding systems are locked out! We cannot withdraw!" The communications speaker conveyed the deepened voice of a Kett proclaiming in warning sound.

Scott turned his head back and forth with a quizzical expression, "Sam, what are we hearing?!"

The voice of the Kett Primus nearly shouted over the transmitter's speakers, "Destroy those that have been forced against us!"

The artificial intelligence supplied correspondence, "We are retrieving the Kett communication and broadcast frequencies through the connection uplink provided by Captain Neyblix."

"They can't hear us...can they?" Ryder reluctantly asked out loud.

Sara glanced bewilderment between Scott and the viewing window and demanded in the sound of disbelief, "What the- wait.. are they.. they're going to attack their own ships?!"

Sky's voice injected profound declaration, "Lieutenant Zlarik, initiate the attack!"

Pathfinder Ryder glanced back and forth between the two Bhlil-lyth grouped forces charging into the battle fronts. The legion of dark silver ships gave no hesitation to ignite their vessels' propulsion systems, leaving behind red blazes from the afterburner trails, and sending the towering Battleships to speed forward with incomprehensible velocities. The Tri'sar weapon turrets pivoted into simultaneous directions quickly unleashing wide spreads of glowing green beams of light that swiftly gashed across the Kett ship's exterior hulls and burned scorch marks into the dark green metal. The incendiary indentations began rapidly expanding in length, branching out like vines, to quickly overtake the space crafts' outer plating and continued burning through to the interior.

The Kett Primus' voice broadcasted in demand over the speakers, "Damage reports!"

"Power systems are fluctuating- we cannot-" The deep voice of a Kett soldier abruptly cut out as a rupture of bursting implosions began expanding from both sides of the space field and generated into radiating brilliance as the explosions widely stretched out into a blinding light that covered the entire battle field.

Scott took a sudden step back and quickly raised one of his arms to shield over his eyes, exclaiming his surprise, "HOLY SHIT!" He slowly dropped his arm down once after the incredible light show had ultimately dispersed and took glance upon the shattered fragments of green metal scattered throughout the star cluster. Ryder adverted view onto the few remaining Kett ships that included a handful of Flagships, the Carrier, and one Combat Battle Cruiser.

Lieutenant Cora Harper dropped her mouth into gaped astonishment, "Oh my.."

"Primus, our forces have become decimated!"

The Primus seemingly expressed agitation, "NO! This can't be! Assess their weapon systems! We must find a way-"

"Primus." The mysterious deep voice resonated with a simultaneous sounding echo causing Pathfinder Ryder to have an uncontrollable shudder, as if a shroud of ice had been placed abound his shoulders.

The Kett Primus made the call out, "Understood, Senator. All remaining ships, initiate for retreat!"

(*Disclaimer: Perfect example of the Kett Senator's voice respectfully barrowing from; Anti Nightcore - New Elysium*)
