Plot:
After the Prince of Darkness movie, Akito left the others as we know. The crew thought that he was just leaving for nothing. But as it turns out, there was someone preventing him from returning to his family. Can Ruri help him?
Chapter 5: The First Battle of Jupiter
The Fleet of Darkness continued to sail in the dark space toward the Martian Successors Jupiter Base. According to the data, the base was heavily defended and almost all Martian Successors' ships that have escaped from Lieutenant Commander Ruri Hoshino's attack on the main base were stationed there, destroying the base could deliver a major blow on the Successors.
Wherever the Fleet of Darkness went, the stars would became dim as it had sympathy for a certain man that had escaped from the Successors with his senses damaged, a certain man who once wanted to be a cook but now his dream was unable to fulfill because of those evil soldiers, a certain man that wore in a dark cape and a NIV.
The man was called Akito Tenkawa, former pilot and cook in training onboard the Original Nadesico 3 years ago.
Now he was the Prince of Darkness and the commander of the Fleet of Darkness or rather, the United Earth and Jovian Fleet. All ships in the fleet were painted in black.
The Officers and Pilots at the Fleet wore black uniforms, even the mechas were painted in black.
There were no cheerful colours in this fleet, only darkness.
Back on Earth, at the UESF Headquarters, the Chief Commander of the UE Forces looked at the computer screen at the top secret basement under the HQ that only the Chief Commander could enter.
He was filled with excitement as the Fleet of Darkness began to attack the base
"ATTACK!" shouted Akito Tenkawa.
Within a second, a rain of gravity blast beams from the Fleet of Darkness launched at the Martian Successors Jupiter Base without even triggering the alarm.
"Prepare all mechas for battle. Also prepare my Advanced Black Salena as well." ordered Akito.
"Yes sir!" shouted one of the Dark Officers.
Meanwhile at the Successors base, things were not looking good for them.
"What's going on?" shouted the commander of the base.
"Sir we are under attack! 200 enemy ships are firing at us! They managed to slip pass our radar without a single trace!" reported a panicked Successor officer.
"What? 200 ships? What colours?" yelled the commander.
"None Sir! All we know is that all the ships are painted in black!"
"BLACK?" THEN IT MUST BE THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS! ALL UNITS RETURN FIRE! STOP THAT PRINCE FROM KILLING US!" yelled the commander in fear.
"YES SIR!" shouted the officers.
Akito Tenkawa was annoyed.
First was that the first attack from the ships did not completely destroy the base and next was that the enemy was sending their mecha to deal with the Black Aestivalis from the Fleet of Darkness.
The Prince of Darkness decided that he needed to take matters into his own hands.
"Order all ships to continue firing but do not hit any black mecha. I am launching now." ordered Akito Tenkawa.
"Yes sir!" said all officers.
"Lapis, you know what to do." said Akito.
"Yes." replied Lapis blankly.
Akito rushed to the hangar to prepare for launch
"Sir, half of our ships has left us!" reported one of the officers.
"WHAT? HALF OF THEM?" shouted the commander.
"YES! WE"RE DOOMED SIR!" shouted a cowardly officer.
The commander looked at the fleet. It was firing nonstop at the base.
"THIS IS IT BOYS! ABODON YOUR POST! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!" yelled the commander.
Akito Tenkawa anticipated that the Successors would try to escape. He then came up with a plan to make sure that no one escapes.
"Officers, past an order to the mecha division, order all the mechas to block every exit of the base. Unless they surrender, destroy all of them." ordered Akito.
"Yes sir." the officers obeyed without questioning him.
"Also, order all ships not to fire at the control room or any research sectors. We need the data inside the computers so that we will know which base we should attack next time."
"Yes sir." the Officers obeyed.
Akito Tenkawa checked the Advance Black Salena's system before he spoke to the mechanic crew.
"Crew, can I precede now?"
"Yes sir, all readings indicate that you are clear for launch." replied the mechanics. They were also dressed in black.
Akito closed his eyes before he opened them again. There were white lines in his eyes and his pupil turned from brown into gold, just like Ruri. (Explanation at the bottom of the page)
"Advanced Black Salena, Akito Tenkawa, Launch!"
Before the others could blink an eye, the gigantic black mecha departed from the ship.
2 Successors pilots, Jack and Tom, were piloting their mecha to escape from the base.
In front of them was the emergency exit.
"We can make it!" Tom shouted.
But the 2 Fleet of Darkness Mechas that blocked the exit said otherwise.
"WE ARE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!" shouted Tom.
Before they could do anything, they were vaporized by the Black Aestivalis. (Too bad)
0000000000000000000000000
Akito piloted his mega-size mecha at the emergency exit nearest to the control room. He anticipated that the commander would use this path to escape.
Sure enough, a Successor Commander Type Battler appeared.
The Commander gasped in fear as he faced the raged Prince of Darkness.
"Surrender or face your doom." spoke Akito in the com.
Even though the commander feared the Prince of Darkness, he would not surrender to the Prince and lost his honor.
"I may be a coward but I will fight you to protect my honor!" shouted the Commander.
Akito just snorted.
"As you wish." replied the Prince of Darkness.
The Advanced Black Salena drew out its 5 mini Gravity Blast Cannons, 2 at the legs, 2 carried by its arms and a tiny one at its chest.
The Commander gasped in horror.
"NOOOOOO!" shouted the commander
Too late, the gravity blast cannons fired and after 3 seconds, the space where the Jupiter Base Commander's mech stood was nothing but some scrap from the mecha.
An idiotic Commander tried to protect his honor but been vaporized by a rain of gravity blast beams. (Too bad)
How sad.
After the death of the Commander, all personnel surrendered or rather killed themselves (to protect their honor, how idiotic they were, "Baka" said Akito). The total casualty of the Successors were 300 Successors mecha, 35000 Successors personnel and 300 ships. (Another 400 ships escaped cowardly)
Akito arrived at the control room and inserted a data absorber into the main computer
Akito just sighed as he waited for the download; the other members of the Fleet of Darkness continued to search for the base for anything valuable, so far they were able to salvage some parts from the Jovian ships and mecha; they also collected some food and supplies to ensure that they will not get hungry in the operation.
Akito looked at the stars; every since he had been forced to do this operation, he always look at the stars as they always remind of a certain someone and his family. (No need to mention who that "certain person" is. If you don't know, try to make a good guess.)
"When can I go back?" asked Akito to the stars.
Just then, the data absorber blinked.
Akito took the data absorber from the computer. He was going to need Lapis to get a formal data from the absorber.
"All troops plant the explosive charges then leave the base. We will commence a "Scorched Earth" tactic."
"Yes sir!"
Akito left the room for his ship.
"It is going to be a long day."
Arrived back at his ship, Akito looked coldly at the half-destroyed Successors Jupiter Base; it was a major battle just before and now it will soon become history.
"Has all Black Aestivalis and ships reached to the safe area?" asked the Prince of Darkness.
"Yes sir, all have approached into the safe area." reported the officers.
"Very well. All ships, fire at the base!" shouted Akito.
As if reply, a thousand streams of gravity beams rushed at the base, the beams hit the explosives which caused a devastating chain reaction, from one section of a base to another, from one wing into another, before long, the base was gone.
"Well done, the battle was over. Now let's go to the Asteroid belt, there is an enemy base which is the main mecha production center of the Successors. The destruction of the base could cripple their offence and defense capabilities." said Akito.
"Yes sir, brilliant as usual, sir." replied the officers.
"Let's go. Fleet of Darkness, mobilize, destination: Martian Successors Asteroid Base."
"Yes Sir!"
The First Battle for Jupiter was over.
For the golden eyes of Akito explanation, here is the main course, this effect is no different from the effect of Ruri's eyes when the ship entered into the mode which Ruri control the ship totally. The reason for it? You will have to read the chapters later to find out. Can't spoil the fun!
