33. Oratorio Returns

-1Chapter 33- Oratorio returns

"Hey Talho, what colors should I run with for our wedding?" asked Nadia a week later. "I know I want to have pink for the bridesmaids dresses."

"Pink?"

"Well, not just any pink. I'm talking the color of a pink rose."

"Ooh, that'll be pretty. What color flowers are you going with?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe pink and white to match everything."

"I think that'll work. What kind of dress do you want?"

"White of course, shoulder less, and with a long train and veil flowing behind me."

"Now that'll be pretty. I can already picture it. Hey Hilda, when are you guys planning on doing your wedding?"

"Not sure yet. I think we want to get past this war first before we do anything."

"Yeah, that's probably not a bad idea. Hey Nadia, have you guys decided on a wedding date yet?"

"No, we haven't gotten that far yet. But I do want to get married with all of you guys around. It wouldn't be right if we didn't."

"We wouldn't let you do that anyways." Talho giggled. "Now, on to the reception plans."

"So, do we have any idea of where Oratorio is at this point?" asked Hap.

"No, unfortunately we don't." said Dominic. "According to intelligence, it's being built in an undisclosed location, so it's been impossible to either find or track down. Now, me and Anemone do have informants out there trying to track it down, but so far it's been a lost cause. We don't know if it's already been built, is being built, or anything like that. All we can hope for now is that something pops up before too long."

"Have they used the orange project at all?" asked Ken-goh.

"As for that, I'd have to say no. Since half of the scab coral disappeared at the second summer of love, I don't think there was any need for it, even though I'm not leaving that possibility out. Now, the only thing I can suggest is that we get everyone back on the ship, and that includes you Holland, and head out. I know Renton and Eureka may not like that idea, but we'll need them there also."

"Alright, I'll have to agree with you Dominic." Holland replied. "But we've got to move quick. God only knows how much more time we have left before things get out of control. Gidget, get on the radio and try to contact the others. Have everyone get here as soon as they can."

"Roger that."

"LEADER!!" yelled Matthieu. "We've got a problem!"

"What is it?"

"Come to the Lounge quick!"

"According to news reports today, the 'Ageha' squad that had been captured almost two months ago has been broken out today by rebel military forces around eleven a.m this morning. According to witnesses, several KLF units attacked the jail where they were being held, freeing them only at the cells where they were being held. Some people are calling this an inside job since no one on the outside knew where they were being held. Please stay in tune to this staition for further updates."

"Well, that settles it." said Holland. "We're in a heap load of trouble. Gidget, hurry up with those calls. Hap, I want you and Woz to keep an eye on radar and trapar readings. Jobs, go get the engines started. Everyone else get to your stations. We've got a mission to complete."

A few hours later, the entire GekkoState crew was back on board and ready to go. Holland had everyone meet in the lounge first to alert them of the situation.

"Everyone," said Holland. "We've got a big problem. Several hours ago, the Ageha squad that had been captured almost two months ago was broken out of jail. Also, according to reports from Dominic and Anemone's intelligence, Oratorio is back. But that's not the worst of it." everyones eyes got a worried look on it as Holland continued. "This thing has been built to very different specifications. It's now big enough that when fully charged and fired, it could put a hole big enough into the planet to destroy it."

"Impossible!" yelled Talho. "But how?"

"That we do not know." said Dominic. "All we know is that we have to get back into action now. Anymore delays could end up risking the entire planet."

"So we're going back out then?" asked Renton.

"Yes we are Renton. I know you two hate that idea, but right now we have no choice. We need all hands on deck if we're to have any effect at all. I already have the Venturion back on board, so we're all set."

"But with Anemone now at the beginning of her eigth month, there's nothing she can do. We can't have her risking her or the twins lives fighting."

"I know that. That's why I'm going to try do it on my own."

"Say what?"

"I know that sounds impossible, but right now I've got no choice. I'm going to do what it takes to protect my wife and family. It's the same thing you would do Renton."

"Now you're sounding like me." he chuckled.

"Now's not the time for laughter Renton." said Holland. "We've got work to do. So everybody get to your stations. We're heading out."

"Roger that." they all replied.

"Eureka, are you alright?" asked Renton as they sat in their room.

"Yeah, I think so. Hey, Renton, do you think this is the final leg of this war?"

"I think so yes. The question is, can we stop the rebels before they fire that thing."

"That's not what worries me."

"It's not?"

"No. It's whether or not if we actually have enough power with the LFO's to actually do any damage to that thing."

"Well, that all depends on how well we work as a team now. If we're to defeat this thing, we'll have to work closer and better than ever now."

"Yeah, that's true. Let's go check on the kids. I hope they're not too scared."

"Ok hon."

"Hello Newhope." said Avriana as she looked at her friend. It had been a while since they had been able to fly in it, and to her it was starting to look a little lonely without them. As she stood there staring at it, Maurice walked into the hangar himself. He had noticed a change in the Newhopes feelings ever since they got back aboard the ship, so he decided to check on it to make sure everything was ok.

"Hey Avriana."

"Oh, hi Maurice."

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Do you think we'll ever be able to fly again?"

"I don't know Avriana. I wish I could answer that. We'd have to ask Holland to see if we can take him out."

"Could we?"

"Sure, why not. Maybe he'll let us take him out on a scouting mission."

"Ok. Come on, let's go ask him."

"Right behind you."

"Dominic, anything new from the federation?" asked Talho.

"No, nothing yet. I wish I knew what the rebel forces were trying to do. So where are we heading first?"

"Straight to the Ten shian mountain range."

"WHAT?! Are you guys insane? We have nobody to back us up!"

"Yes we do. The federation forces are heading there right now."

"How many of them?"

"We've got about fifteen thousand ships heading there now."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"We were going to. But we're going to Tresor first. We have to load up on extra weapons and supplies in case we need them."

"I see. When do we rendezvous?"

"In about seven days. We'll be in Tresor in two days, hopefully we'll be fully loaded in one or two, and take the next three or four days to get there."

"Is the Super Izumo with that fleet?"

"No, they're meeting us at Tresor. They'll be flying next to us the entire way up."

"I see. Alright, let's finish this once and for all."

"Hey Holland, can we ask you something?" asked Maurice.

"Sure. What's up kids?"

"Can we take the Newhope out? Maybe on a scouting mission?"

"Sure. Talho, watch the bridge. Gidget, page Renton, Eureka, and Hilda. We're heading out."

"Roger that."

"Ok, you kids remember how to do this right?" asked Holland.

"Yes we do."

"Ok, good. 909 heading out!"

"Newhope, launching now!" yelled Maurice.

"Nirvash taking off!" said Renton.

"808 heading out!" Hilda replied.

"Ok you guys, now just remember to be careful." said Holland. "I don't know how well you guys can pilot anymore, so take it easy."

"You mean this?" Maurice replied. Just then the Newhope took to the skies above in a mix of twists, turns, and dives.

"Ok, ok, you made your point. You two take sector one with the Nirvash. Hilda, you take sector three. I'll handle two."

"Alright. See you guys in a bit." Hilda replied as she took off towards the right.

"Right. See you in a few." said Renton as the Nirvash and Newhope went to the left." Holland just smirked and jetted off towards the middle. "Well, let's just hope we don't run into anything today." he thought to himself. "We don't have time for any horseplay."

"Nirvash, this is Newhope. All systems normal. So far nothing to report."

"Roger that Newhope. Nothing to report from our end either. So far all is quiet. So, are you guys ready for this finale?"

"I think so Renton." Avriana replied. "This war has taken too much out of this world in order for it to continue. We have to stop it now while we have the chance."

"Yeah, you're right Avriana. You are pretty smart for your age you know that?"

"Thanks. I get that a lot for some reason."

"I'm sure you do." Renton chuckled. "Anyways, we had better head back to the ship. Gekko, this is Nirvash. We're heading back."

"Nirvash, this is the Gekko. Roger that. Any rebels to report?"

"Negative. Our sector is clear. Anything from the 909 or 808?"

"Negative. Still waiting for them to report in."

"Roger that. See you in a few."

"Roger."

"Well Avriana, this may be it for us." said Maurice as they were flying back.

"What do you mean?"

"When this war ends, I don't know where we'll be going after this. I know I'll be going back home, but I don't know where you'll be going."

"I already know where I'll be."

"You do?"

"Yes. By your side Maurice."

"But…"

"No buts Maurice. I know we may only going on ten, but I care for you and your family too much for us to go anywhere. I don't care what it takes, but I'll make sure my family stays in Bellforest so we can always be together."

"If you say so Avriana." Maurice chuckled. "Come on, let's go home."

"Confirming the landing of the Nirvash and Newhope and the closing of the loading dock." said Gidget.

"Roger that Gidget." said Talho. "Get in contact with the 909 and 808 and find out where they're at. Have them come on back."

"Ok."

"Well, that was successful." said Eureka as they climbed out of the LFO's. "No rebels to worry about. We should be in Tresor in no time."

"Yeah I think so." Renton replied. "Why don't you kids go to your rooms and rest. You're going to need it with the upcoming battle."

"Ok dad. Come on Avriana."

"Alright. Later Renton and Eureka!"

"Bye kids!" Eureka replied with a motherly tone. "Hey hon, I think those two will be inseperable for life when they get older. What do you think?"

"I think you're right dear. Come on, let's go to our room and relax ourselves. I think these next several days are going to be our toughest ever."

Two days later, the GekkoState landed at Tresor before the final battle over earth. As promised, the Super Izumo was sitting there waiting for them.

"Jurgens, good to see you again." said Holland as they disembarked. "How are the preperations going for our final operation?"

"About as well as can be expected at the moment. The location of Oratorio has yet to be found, which probably means it's already been launched into space. Rebel forces are already on the move towards the Tian shan mountain range. It'll be several days before all of our forces can reach that area."

"I see. Is your ship prepared and ready to go?"

"Yes it is. We can take off at any time."

"Right. We'll be here for a couple of days to stock up on everything we need. Our LFO's are about as good as they're going to get. I just hope all of our forces have enough in them to stop them."

"Well it's going to turn into one hellacious battle no matter how we look at it. The question is are you guys ready for this?"

"Ready as we'll ever be."

"Good. Follow me then. We'll go over the final plans in my office."

Later on in the evening, Maurice and Avriana sat at the opening of the GekkoStates loading dock looking out at the sunset over the surrounding mountains. Pretty soon the entire crew was sitting there with them as the calming sunset went down over the mountains. They all knew this was the calm before the storm that awaited them.

"So peaceful." said Nadia as she sat next to her daughter. "It's a shame we have to fight for a land that is so beautiful and forgiving to us."

"Yes I know." Talho replied. "It is a sad fact knowing that there are forces out there like that."

"Hey Talho, do you think we'll all make it out of this alive?"

"I'm sure of it Nadia. We aren't ones to give up that easily let alone go down without a fight. If anyone can make it, it'll be us."

"That's good. I can't believe you guys have this much faith in such a dangerous time."

"Well to tell you the truth, we're all scared to death." said Hilda. "We don't know whats going to happen next after we leave here."

"You guys are scared? I never would have thought that. All of you always seemed to be so strong and full of courage. I never once heard you guys talk about fear or being scared before."

"It's something we don't like to talk about, but it is there, no matter where we go. Right now there is no safe haven for any humans or coralians for that matter. Everyone is in extreme danger right now, even us as we sit here, out in the open."

"I see."

"Listen Nadia, don't give up on us. We all have your back right now. You also have a wonderful little girl who just may be the next hero of this world."

"Yeah, you're right. I do have a wonderful daughter. I also have a loving fiance I would give my life for and a great family that I would never turn my back on. So don't worry Hilda, I'm not going anywhere."

"That's good to hear. I think you just us showed your true colors Nadia." said Talho.

"Yeah, I guess I did. Well, are we ready to do this gang?"

"YEAH!" they all yelled in unison.

"Hey, Hap, you do realize one thing right?"

"And what's that?"

"If and when we do make it out of this alive, we're still getting married."

"I know that. Besides, you're not the only one who has a daughter to look over."

"You're right, I'm not."

"Well listen everybody," said Holland. "Just because this war is ending doesn't mean a thing. We're still a family first thing. Even if we have no wheres to go after this, we have to promise to stay together, to keep in contact with each other at all times. Can you do that?" Everyone then nodded their heads in agreement. "Good. Come on then. Lets all get some sleep. We'll be here all day tomorrow also, so at least we'll have one more sunset before we head up to the big showdown."

The next day was a flurry of activity as the final preperations for the final battle were made. Weapons were stocked to the max, all the LFO's were tuned and peaked to maximum efficiency and final stocking of any other necessary goods was done. Tension in the air was high as well were the stress levels. It was so thick you could have cut it with a knife. But no one showed it though. They stood tough and proud of what they had done in this war. The hard times, the good, the bad, the laughs, and the tears all came down to this. This was their time to shine once again as a family.

"So, are you guys all ready to go then?" asked Jurgens that evening.

"All set. We take off at o eight hundred tomorrow."

"Good. We rendezvous with the rest of our forces over Capitol City. From there we should hopefully gain some more KLF forces from the city. We should arrive at our scheduled destination two days later."

"Alright. Well Jurgens, until tomorrow then."

"You got it commander. Until tomorrow."

That night as everyone sat in the lounge and chatted amongst themselves, the atmosphere remained light and cheery. No mention of the war or the upcoming battle was ever mentioned between all of them. Instead it was jokes, talks of family, sports, and childhood memories. Later on as everyone sat in their rooms before bedtime, the reality finally set in for them. It was now time for business. No more horsing around, playing with kids, relaxing, having a good time, or just lounging around. It was time to fight. Fight for their lives, their children, their friends, their home, and their planet. It was now time for them to give it all they had.

"Hey, Renton." said Eureka as they sat in bed. "Are you scared?"

"Well, what about you?"

"I'm terrified. I don't want to hurt anyone, but this time we may not have a choice."

"I'm afraid not dear. This is that one time where we have to give it all we've got to keep our families and this world safe. But believe me, I'm scared to death too. But no matter what happens, I'm not giving up."

"Neither will I Renton. I'll be by your side no matter what happens."

"And so will I." As Eureka looked at her husband, she gave him a warm caring smile letting him know that things would be alright. Renton then gave her a slow, loving kiss, almost more passionate than the one he gave her on their wedding day. When they released their hold on each other, Eureka continued to hold onto her husband tight. Slowly the two layed down and fell into a deep but somewhat uncomfortable sleep.

The next morning, everyone met in the lounge one last time before they took off. All that was said at that meeting everyone had already heard, but Holland wanted everything to be refreshed in their minds anyways. Soon enough, everyone was at their staitions ready to take off.

"Jobs, engine room."

"Flywheel is engaged. Engines are normal. We can take off anytime."

"Hap, trapar."

"Trapar counts are stable. We should have no problems taking off."

"Woz, radar."

"Other than the Super Izumo, the area is clear. No rebel forces in the way."

"Ken-goh, weapons."

"Safety locks are on. AAM's are stocked and fully loaded. We're set to go."

"Gidget, do we have clearance to take off?"

"Clearance has been given. Message from Tresor. They say good luck and godspeed. They also say to come home soon."

"Roger that. Tell them thanks and that we will. Doggie, light the boosters. Let's go finish this."

"Roger that. Releasing the brakes. Engine pressures are normal. No rate in change of increase. Lighting boosters now. GekkoState taking off!!" and as the GekkoState and Super Izumo took off into the morning skies, the entire crew at Tresor stood on top of the buildings and waved their friends goodbye.

"Do you think they'll come back?" asked Sonia as they disappeared into the horizon.

"I think they will Sonia." said Morita. "If I know the GekkoState like I do, they'll be back. I can guarantee it."

"Super Izumo, this is GekkoState. We are now heading to the high altitude leylines. Make sure you keep up." said Holland.

"Hey, who do you think we are?" Jurgens chuckled. "This ship has more power in it than the Gekko will ever have."

"Alright. Just try not to lose us ok?"

"Roger that."

"Alright,everyone listen up. Keep your eyes and ears open for any rebel forces. I'm sure they know we're on our way so they'll probably try to do all they can to keep us back. I'll be in my room if you need anything."

"Roger that." they all replied.

"Well, here we go." said Renton as he watched out their bedroom window. "I hope and pray to god that we're ready for this." Eureka just came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. She could sense his fear, and him hers. But the two knew that together, they could overcome that fear and do what they had to to save the planet.

"Hey, Renton, you know I never want to let you go right? You know I never want you to be out of my reach."

"I know you do love. I will never be out of your reach. As long as this heart of mine beats, as long as I'm standing here breathing, I will always be within reach of you. You have my promise on that." he then turned to face her and noticed the tears in her eyes. They weren't tears of happiness or tears of sadness, but tears of fear. Fear of losing her husband, or each other in this one last battle. Renton just gave her a reassuring smile and gave her a passionate kiss. He then did something he had never done before. Gently he picked her up from behind her knees and back and carried her over to their bed. There they slowly and lovingly made love to each other, more lovingly than they had ever made love before.

"Oratorio number 10 is now in place." said the leader of the rebel forces. "In 48 hours when all of our forces are in place, we'll finally strike down these coralians beings and take control of our world. No longer will coralians walk the earth. We will be the only ones who reign supreme on this planet. We will make sure of it this time. Congratulations children. You would've made Dewey proud.

"Thank you General." said the blonde haired child. "This will be our greatest victory ever. We may have been fighting a losing war, but this weapon will finally make up for all those losses. The federation has nothing in it arsenal that can stop us now. Let us finish this war not on the federations terms, but on our terms, ones that should have came true in the first place."

"Hail Dewey!"

"HAIL DEWEY!" the crew cheered.

The next day, the GekkoState and the Izumo finally reached Capitol City. This day was the day they had been waiting on. This was the point where they would rendezvous with the remaining federation forces. But to their surprise, there was a lot more than the fifteen thousand ships there that they had been hoping on. Instead there was twenty five thousand ships, or about ninety five percent of the federations aerial forces. This gave everyone a added sense of hope when the counts came in. This was ten thousand more than planned, and every little bit of it would help in the long run.

"So Jurgens, what do you think now?" asked Holland after they joined all the other ships.

"It's truly a miracle Holland. I never thought in a million years that we would get this much help. I think everyone just got an added spring in their step."

"Yeah, I think the same happened here too. So I guess now we head to our final destination."

"Roger that. Admiral Benson should be on federation battleship Xavier. He'll be leading most of the way."

"Copy that. We'll keep our channels clear here on our end."

"Alright. Let's go finish this thing once and for all."

"Hey Dominic, did you hear the good news!" said Anemone. "The federation added an extra ten thousand ships to the fleet! We now have twenty five thousand ships with us!"

"No way! They did that? Wow, I guess they mean business."

"Strength in numbers they say."

"I guess so. That's definitely good news though."

"Isn't it? But will it still be enough?"

"Against their forces we shouldn't have a problem. They probably don't even have half this strength with all the hits and losses they've taken. But the big question is what about Oratorio and Ageha?"

"Yeah, I suppose you're right. We still don't know what's going on with them."

"No we don't, but I'm still happy with what we've got. We definitely have the upper edge now."

"Yes we do hon. Yes we do."

"Renton, look! It's amazing!" said Eureka happily as they sat in the lower lounge of the bridge.

"I know. Hey Talho, how many ships do we have out there?"

"Twenty five thousand Renton." she replied. "We were only expecting fifteen. This is ten thousand more than we had expected."

"Awesome! Do you think this gives us a better chance now?"

"Maybe Renton. Things are definitely looking up now for us. But remember, don't let this get you over confident. Things can still change on us in a real hurry."

"I know that. Thanks Talho."

"Don't mention it. I had better get back to work then. There's a lot of coordinating that has to be done to get us all into position."

"Alright. Good luck mom." Eureka replied.

"Later kids."

"Well hon, looks like we'll be ok after all."

"Yes, it looks that way dear. It definitely looks that way." Renton then put his arm around his wife as the two watched in amazement the sight that beheld them. The future of the world was now in the federations hands. They had now become one unbeatable force.

That evening before everyone went to bed final checks were done to the ship, weapons, and LFO's to make sure everything was in working order and ready to go at a moments notice. Tension was now at it's peak, and everyone knew it. No one talked to each other that night. They just worked and rushed around doing what they had to to be prepared. Renton and Dominic were checking the LFO's, Woz and Jobs were going over every last detail of the engine systems, Hap and Gidget were going over all of the security checks, Ken-goh was doing one last weapons checks, Nadia was going over the medical supplies and equipment in case it was needed, and the others tended to the kids to keep them occupied and relaxed. By the time everyone went to bed, no one could really sleep. But they knew they had to. Having no sleep now wasn't an option. All the rest they could get now was what they would need to finish this war. Every last bit of it.

As Holland and Talho lay in bed that evening, Holland just twisted and turned. He couldn't get comfortable. He was worried. As he looked at his sleeping wife, he thought of their life and home. A place where he wished he was at this time. Home, with his wife and son, their daughter and son-in-law, with the upcoming twins, and with the rest of their family. As he thought of all the things in his life, Talho stirred and slowly woke up.

"Hey, Holland."

"Hi hon. Did I wake you?"

"No. Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"No you're not. What's wrong?"

"I'm worried."

"I think we all are Holland."

"That's not what I mean."

"Then what?"

"I'm worried about you and Stephen, our kids, our home, everything."

"And you think I'm not? If I had the choice the kids wouldn't be here, but they wanted to be with us. They put up one hell of a fight against Axel to be with us, so its obvious they wanted to be with their families."

"Yeah, that they did." Holland chuckled. "Those kids turn out more like their parents everyday."

"Stephen will be the same way believe me. He'll probably turn out like you more than you'll ever believe."

"Oh I can guarantee it dear."

"Yeah so can I. Hey, is it still ok for us to have another child?"

"Sure dear. We can try anytime you want. I told you that when I told you I bought the house."

"Yeah, you're right. Can we try now?" Holland just gave her a warm gentle smile before making love to his wife for the rest of the night.

The next morning the stage was set. By the time everyone was up, the entire federation fleet was twenty eight hours from their destination. All of the ships were now in place. Captain Jurgens then came on the radio for one last message.

"Ladies and Gentleman, this is captain Jurgens of the ship Super Izumo. I want to start off by saying thank you for joining us in this important mission. I along with all of your comrades and family members would be proud of what you are doing here today. May their thoughts and prayers be with you as we once again try to save our planet from Ageha, Oratorio, and the rebel forces. But now back to business. In a little over twenty four hours, we will be going head to head with the rebels one last time in order to protect our planet. Please make sure all of your weapons and emergency preperations are set in case they aren't. Any mistakes we make now could either make or break us, and I'd rather make it more than anything. So without further ado, I wish you all luck and godspeed. See you all at the frontlines. Jurgens out."

"Well, that does it." said Holland after the message. "We're now in this for the long haul. From here there's no going back."

"We'd never back down in the first place and you know it."

"I know Talho. Thanks. Is everyone set to go then?"

"Yes they are. The only thing I'm worried about are the kids."

"Well they're here if we like it or not. Maurice and Avriana for sure because of the Newhope. The others, well, what can I say?"

"There's nothing to say." Talho giggled. "They're inseperable I guess."

"That they are. Alright, I'm heading to the dining hall for lunch. Want me to get you anything?"

"I'm ok for now. Thanks though."

"Alright. See you in a bit."

"Hey Dominic, anything new from intelligence?" asked Anemone while they sat in their room.

"I'm looking right now."

"Well, anything?"

"Oh man, this isn't good."

"What's wrong?"

"I just got an email from one of our informants. Apparently the rebel forces are already at the Tian shan mountain range."

"Anything else?"

"Yes. Oratorio is in place and is now charging. We have thirty hours before it fires. Apparently from what the schematics explained, this new version can only fire once at full strength."

"But can't that one shot destroy the world?"

"It can and it will if we don't get to it first."

"But how? They're sure to have it protected somehow."

"I know. I'm going to transfer this info to Jurgens and Benson. Maybe together we can come up with some sort of plan."

"Alright. I'll go let Holland know."

"Ok hon. Thanks."

"So what do we do?" asked Jurgens. He, Holland, and Benson were on a conference call on the bridge going over the information that Dominic and Anemone had sent them.

"I'm not sure." Benson replied. "The last time all we were able to do was destroy and stop the orange, but we never got to Oratorio. We arrive in about twenty four hours. From what Mr.Sorrels intelligence told us, it's going to take a little over that for Oratorio to charge since it's such a large weapon. Is there anybody that can go up into space and shoot it down?"

"Only us and the Super Izumo." said Holland. "But the only problem is that we're needed here. We're the only ones who have enough power to stop the Ageha squad. My other LFO's wouldn't stand a chance against them and neither would my ship. I'm sure the Super Izumo has enough manpower to handle it."

"We might yes." Jurgens replied. "All of our ships have the new Omega KLF's on board, including us. I have nine of those on board right now. Since our men have been trained a lot more on them, I'm sure they can get out there and take out any resistance along with Oratorio."

"But what about timing? We can't just have you go off on your own. We'd have to have some sort of distraction to keep the rebels eyes off of you so you can get yourselves up there."

"That'll we'll have to figure out tomorrow. If we have to we'll have you, the Xavier, and maybe one or two other ships keep us covered while we do a trajectory flight out of the battlefield and into space, where we can hopefully do our job from there."

"That'll be the only thing we can do." Benson replied. "Because if you did just try to separate on your own, you'd most like be shot down."

"I'd hardly say that Admiral sir. This ship can take a lot more hits than either you or the Gekko, so it'll take a lot to stop us."

"I see. Alright, we'll go with that plan for now. But if things do change, we'll have to take care of it right away. Every moment counts."

"Roger that sir. Anything else at the moment commander Novak?"

"No not at this moment." he replied. "That's all we have for now. If anything else comes up, we'll make sure to let you know."

"Alright. Izumo out."

"Xavier out."

"Gekko out."

"Can we pull it off then?" asked Talho worryingly.

"We have no choice. We have to stay on the frontlines. The Izumo is our only chance at stopping oratorio from firing."

"Yeah, I suppose so."

"Don't worry Talho. If anyone can do it, it's us."

"Yeah, I know."

"Ok. Everyone, make your final preperations. We strike in twenty four hours."

Wendsday morning, o eight hundred hours, Redemption day. Federation forces have reached the Tian Shan mountain range. Twenty five thousand strong, the cross over the horizon, much to the dismay of the rebel forces. With only fourteen thousand ships on their side, they quickly found out that they were severly outnumbered.

"But how Admiral?! How could they slip this past us?!"

"I don't know. Is Oratorio ready to fire yet?"

"Not for another two hours sir! The Federation fleet will be here in fifteen minutes!"

"Dammit, alright, you kids, go get into your LFO's. I'm sure you, the Ageha squad, are the only ones who can do any real damage. Everyone else, get your KLF squadrons ready to launch. And for the rest of us, well, may god help us all…
