Galiavan's Orbit

Darkstorm Zero wrote:The cause of the disturbance was soon made very clear, very quickly. From the planets surface, from the region of Gailden known as Guardian's Gorge, came a colossal orange yellow wave of energy. The wave front of the surge was as big as a mountain, or an asteroid breaking through an atmosphere would be more accurate, and was flecked with cobalt and sapphire bio electrical pulses along it's entire length that were as big as some of the buildings that comprised the colony.

The massive wave caused quakes and shudders all over the moon, and the ships around it were not except from the seemingly physics defying quakes. The beam streaked past the moon, and continued through the asteroid belt, slamming into the Hellish invaders colossal space station, evaporating everything in it's path. Hundreds of the hellish ships simply exploded in the onslaught, those that were not completely swallowed up being engulfed by the beam.

The massive wave struck the gate, but unlike everything else, the massive constructs shields managed to refract the attack, sending six smaller energy waves streaking into deep space, nullifying it completely.

While some of the hellish fleet perished in the mysterious assault, the presence of the abyss within the portal meant that the maw of Hell remained open.

Usagi wrote:Usagi cradled her head against Sean, and shuttered as the blast caused the tumbling ship to further rumble. Hurdling out into the cosmos, Usagi again used her power to help stabilize the ship, to at least allow its pilot into her seat. At the same time, all lay witness to the bright light which shot passed them.  

With everything stabilized, he looked out the cockpit window with a hung jaw at the bright beam flashing past them, almost blinding him in the process. "What...the living Hell was that?" He shuttered, turning to Usagi, and then the woman. He drew his pistol from his holster aiming it at her while aiming the rifle at the man. "...this changes nothing. You understand? Now that we're out here... you may as well take us down. I've been paid to escort this one to the planet below, and I intend to finish the job. With, or without you two." he says coldly.

Aki looked on through the window as the blast rocked the ship and soared past them, blasting into the alien ships which had been the cause of the many shipping delays. By the Twelve...what was that? I've never seen anything so spectacularly terrifying in all my years of combat...what kind of weapon was that? She was about to rise, and slip into the cockpit when she heard the gun rattle, and she looked back to see the man raising his weapons. She frowned. "You are a persistent son of a bitch. Shouldn't we have a moment to grasp what in the name of fuck just happened?"

Bleep-Bleep-Bleep-

She turns towards the controls, and quickly is alarmed. "Oh no!" She exclaimed, rushing into the seat. "Shit-shit-SHIT! Just as I thought!" she screamed, strapping in and began to work frantically at the system. Between their unscheduled take off, this freak event, and the cpu not properly updating, the ship's systems were going off line one by one. She flipped several switches, which only led to her dark skinned face becoming increasingly paler. "No-damn it!" She exclaimed. "We lost our guidance systems, the thrusters are not responding and the ship's power grid is going off line. Communications, Auto-Pilot, Landing Gear, everything is dead!" She screamed, turning to the two with a look of malice. "Well con-grat-u-fucking-lations asshole! What ever that beast-kin skank did back there in the Station, besides kill several of innocent people, is going to fuck us up just as badly!" She turned to the controls again. "Sean, try to re-rout our quarters power to the thruster's or landing gear. These two are getting what they wanted, we're going to Galiavan--but we're probably going to die before we even hit the surface. As it is I'm gonna have to pilot manually and this heifer doesn't like to move!" She exclaimed. She turned to the two intruders again. "This is all your fault!" she exclaimed.

Sean was too in awe of the power he was witness to, but with the tables turned and Aki barking orders at him, he gently let go of the woman and began preparations. "Aye-aye!" he exclaims, running into the power room. He looked for his gun while he did so, seeing it tucked under one of the chairs in the back, but he would worry about that later. As he flipped open the panel, working with the wires, he called out to the hijackers. "Oh, by the way; you may want to find a seat an' buckle in. This is going to be a bumpy ride." he commented, re-routing the power. "Power re-routed Aki, you should have thrusters ready for launch, however I can't get the landing gear or the computer guidance controls online. We'll have to land by eye; but where we land-fuck if I know lass!" he exclaimed from the back.

Usagi frowned, knowing what she had done was bad, but given the circumstances she had little other choice but to do what she did. Upon listening to the two pilots, she got up and made her way to one of the seats. "I...am sorry. I didn't mean to cause you both trouble..." She says, her ears drooping. "I can... help too, I'll keep the vessel from burning up in the atmosphere; you are a skilled pilot, I am sure you can land us safely." she says, closing her eyes and placing her power into the ship again. The ship was coated once more with a faint bluish glow, as their tumbling decent towards Galiavan was becoming far more dangerous, their ship being yanked by the gravitational pull.

Irvine grew restless. "Hey, hey! Focus your anger at the task at hand!" He exclaimed to the young woman before looking back at Usagi with a slight frown. "We're all in the same shit boat now," he says, holstering his magnum before using a two hand grip on the rifle, lowering his aim for the moment. "best we get used to our temporary company. "Yo, Scotty, get your ass back here if you're finished! And no funny business or I'll set my phaser to lethal!" he exclaimed back, leaning against the wall and aiming down the hall where the man had went down; just in case he was grabbing a weapon or not.

Aki groaned, whipping her head back towards the planet ahead. With power back to the thrusters, she was able to reposition the ship for a more appropriate decent to the planet below. He didn't strip me of my side arm... I could use it while he's busy harassing Sean. However... we're descending too quick. Crap, we'll have to detain him if we survive the crash. I have no idea what the rabbit's involvement is in this, but honestly I can care less right now. She's got some freaky skills, I bet the ADN were hot on their tails because of that too. She contemplated, leveling out the ship for a proper descent as she could get. "Like Sean said, buckle up!!" she exclaimed.

Sean reappeared from the dark hall, and frowned. "What in blazes are you yammering on about lad?! Its never a good idea to fire a weapon while we are about to make a landing!" He says getting close to the young man. "I am serious, you best be buckled in, cuz I don't want that rifle firing as we crash down!" He says shoving the man back, before heading beside Aki, and buckling himself in. "Fuck, we're going in hot!" He exclaims, noting the edges of the ship glowing as they entered the atmosphere, the ship beginning to rumble!

Leland, although annoyed by the man's aggression could not pass up his repeated advice as the ship began to rumble. He slid over to Usagi, buckling her in before sitting at her side. He had been in various situations before, but ever since he appeared in this strange land... he began to feel that most of his experience was worth shit. "Crap..." he nervously gasped, gripping the seat tightly as he buckled himself in.

Usagi, opening her eyes when Irvine buckled her in, the tight straps running across her bouncy chest. She turned to look at him, noting his nervousness before smiling. She reached out, placing her right hand around his left, grasping it tight. "There is no need to worry Irvine. I will protect us." she says with a charming smile, before closing her eyes again. The glowing heat around the craft was subsiding slightly, as the bluish glow radiating around the ships surface acted like a shield. The flames licked and chipped at the shield, but it regenerated as they continued to descend. Usagi, however, began to pant and sweat, not only because of the stress of placing this shield while it was in very quick movement, but also because of the planet getting closer, and the pain she could feel from the surroundings getting into view.
