“Master Starcomand, the enemy fleet is turning around and attempting a full scale battle with us.”
“Right, it is right to give more than receive; let’s give them something we do not need!! Hikari with support from the left side and the armada with cover both ships in the middle. The Nexus Max is able to withstand heavy attacks; still I hope Phoenix and Kane can make it in time.” Starcomand says as he orders a full attack on enemy’s ships.
Silvercloud sends the Hikari and her own fleet to unleash intense cover fire for the Nexus Max. The other KR fleet on the right side also does the same thing. Gotenks’s fleet then returns fire without thinking. Starcomand then sends out fighters to destroy incoming fighters and enemy ships. He also moves his ship to the front to protect the Hikari. Silvercloud orders her ship to the middle so ShrunkenCheese can send Ronin up to this ship. The worry she has is how to open a path for ShrunkenCheese to get pass the enemy fleet and go to the Hikari. Starcomand is already on it, but then can he ready do it? She doesn’t know. Still she can keep calm as she stares at the battlefield. Since she is the head medical order during peaceful times, she dealt with different kinds of operations. There were times when the successful rate of the operation is 50% to 51%. Her ability of staying calm is trained from all these situations. To her, even a battle is like doing an operation. She will be fine as long as knows where she goes, where to avoid, and where is the key point. Then again, unlike doing an operation, there are risks that a battle has whereas operations do not have. She knows the difference. If one fails an operation, one person will most likely die; but if one fails in leading a battle, then many people will die. Silvercloud knows all these too well as her experience in space battle.
“Command fleet in beta formation to support the Nexus Max! Prepare the Infernal Darts! Charge the Mega Cannon and prepare firing sequences!! Aiming at the enemy’s central formation!!” Silvercloud orders. She then walks over and see the star map to determine when to fire.
“Alright, Silvercloud is in position. Now, prepare Hell Darts, and beginning firing sequences for Solar Cannon. Use Solar Blast to clear a path and then use Nova bombs to cover the entire area. Tell every ship to send out dummy balloons in the front to take damage!” Starcomand orders. Just then, an officer runs towards Starcomand.
“We have received report that Knight Kenshin’s team has made contact with the KRs on Shinsen.”
“How’s the situation?”
“Not as good. It seems the Blood Hounds are going all out on this invasion. They have sent they best troops on this.”
“I can see why. If they fail on this invasion, the non-force government is going to have their heads. Then again, if they win, they can gain a foothold on new sources on this planet and the system around it as well.”
“It seems…..Keroberos is on as well.”
“How come I am not surprised? Gotenks’s fleet is covering the entire region and has us outnumbered six to one. I cannot imagine what is going on that planet. The KRs are going to have some serious trouble…..”
“Master Starcomand, why don’t we put “that” to use?”
“I do have the thought of using THAT. But, I still think this is too early…….continue with the original plan. A battle has risks that one cannot imagine nor fully calculate.”
“Yes Master.”
“FIRE!!!” Starcomand and Silvercloud yells.
Lessa and EvilIvy are both walking through the battlefield. They manage to clear off the troopers from advancing from their position. Now, the two and the local army start their advance towards the Blood Hounds. Just as they are advancing, there is a group of special dressed troopers block their way.
“We can take it from here” EvilIvy says to the local army. Lessa and EvilIvy stay as the local army continues their advancement. The group of troopers doesn’t respond to Lessa and EvilIvy’s actions. Those troopers suddenly take out a lightsaber then disappear into thin air.
“Someone is bringing back the shadowtroopers!” EvilIvy says as she ignites hersaber as well.
“Yea……but we can still see where they are going without using force sense.” Lessa says. She knows with all the commotion going on around it is going to be hard for the two of them to sense their target. The two start looking at the ground. Then again, with all the dust and wing going around, it is hard to spot footprints and tracks. Lessa and EvilIvy start using their sensors on their armor. Now, they see the troopers are moving around in a formation.
“Goodness…..they have been trained well in our ways.” Lessa says.
“The thing is, we force users are very used to move in solo. We are not very good at doing team work and formations. Their troopers are powerful because of their team work and they know how to cover each other.” EvilIvy says.
“So, I guess I am going use this.” Lessa says as she unleashes “Dance of the Sword Maiden.” This move was originally HIME’s. She taught Lessa her ways as a friendly skills exchange. It is one of her deadliest skills. She starts unleashing it towards those troopers. The troopers then form into two circles and keep Lessa and EvilIvy in the middle. One group starts attacking at the two. Lessa cannot use “dance of the Sword Maiden” because she is afraid of hitting EvilIvy by mistake. The two start blocking every incoming attack until it is a deadlock. The other group rolls of the group and tries stab into the openings. Lessa and EvilIvy struggle themselves out and leap into the air to avoid being stabbed. As the land of the ground the troopers come to them from midair and on the ground. Every time Lessa and EvilIvy attack, it is block by two or three troopers and the others just start attacking at the two’s openings.
“This is not good. If this keeps up, it is going to wear us down in no time.”
“I know EvilIvy. Then again, if we get too caught up into the fighting, we will walk right into their formation trap. We are dead then.”
“What are we going to do?”
“These people are trained to block any solo attackers with teamwork. They are noting if going one on one. But right now, with them working as a whole, it is very hard to find an opening. The only thing we can try right now is to keep their formation from changing.”
“Oh, so we can find an opening if they keep using the same thing right?”
Lessa nods in responds. The troopers have them surrounded in a two layers circle. The outer circle is moving in clockwise. The inner circle is moving in counter-clockwise. It is perfect to lock someone inside because the troopers in the inner circle will attack and their target will most likely block. In that case, their target will be “contained” in a certain location. Then the troopers in the outer circle will stab their sabers through the opening. Lessa and EvilIvy see through that. The two then leaps into the air to jump across the formation. But then the troopers from the out circle jumps up as well. Lessa and EvilIvy have to block every single attack from the outer circle. But they forgot about the troopers from the inner circle has already put up their sabers and jumps upwards towards Lessa and EvilIvy. There is no way the two can run since they are contained. Just then a long piece of white cloth appears in front of those troopers before they reach Lessa and EvilIvy. That sudden appearance manages to interrupt the whole formation’s movement for a moment. Then again, a moment is already enough for anyone to escape or rescue. Those troopers are well trained as well. It only took them a moment for them to regroup. Lessa and EvilIvy find themselves on the ground safe.
“Looks like we arrived just in time.” A voice comes out. Lessa and EvilIvy look and find Kenshin is behind them.
“SO, you saved us?” Lessa asks.
“I wish I did. Well, look there.” Kenshin says and he points to a direction. Lessa and EvilIvy look and see a female figure dresses in a suit of white, dress like armor. They cannot see who she is because she has a hood on. She turns around to Lessa and EvilIvy as if she doesn’t know about the troopers’ existence.
“HIME!! Wait…..NAKO!!!” Lessa and EvilIvy say as they see her face. The only thing strange is the Nako’s expression. She is not smiling like the usual Nako. She is just having this emotionless expression.
“That ice cold expression and feeling…….there is no mistaking about her…..it is really her.” Lessa says. EvilIvy and kenshin just look very much dumb-founded.
Suddenly there is a faint smile on Nako’s face.
“I guess this is also the will of the force. There is no hiding it no more.” Nako says as she takes out her own saber and ignites it. Then a white blade of light comes out from her hilt.
Scythe and Tricky are both fighting those “boulders. Scythe uses “Maximum Cyclone” in an attempt to soften those hard scales and then Tricky will jump in and slash. But then, those boulders are too fast to catch. That is why the two are still being surrounded and being shot at. Thanks to Tricky’s huge sword to block all the scales. But then they are all coming in too fast. It is not hat easy to block and fight at the same time. Scythe manages to uses his fight slashing to land a lot of hits on his enemies. Just then, a white flash appears infront of the two and the boulders roll away from them. Tricky and Scythe look and see a figure in gray and white armor. He turns around and looks at the two.
“Loking!! So, you have decided to…..” Scythe says.
“I do not mind the help! But, US TWO could have handled this ourselves!” Tricky says.
“Yes, I know. I am fully aware that you two have the situation full under-control by getting yourselves surrounded and shot at from every direction. I am just passing by and see that you two are having so much fun. SO, I cannot help to contain myself by to join in.” Loking says as he smiles.
“Anyhow, if you are going to fight, why are you so late?” Tricky says to Loking.
“Wait…..Heroes never late. They are just taking their sweet time getting there. Oh! One more thing: Please don’t call me Loking when we are in this situation!” Loking says. Tricky and Scythe look confused.
“Then what do we call you?” Scythe asks.
“Who the hell are you? Tell us your name and fight or get lost! This is not a place for being chatter box!” Gold yells out. Loking just signs.
“Wow you people sure have some manners. Okay, I guess it is rude not to give out my name then: My name is Lok……..no wait. I haven’t done this in years!”
“You seriously fine about this?” Scythe asks. Loking just smiles.
“For the sake of cutting down evil, I have become a shadow. A shadow that works under the moonlight of the universe, Lunar Knights: KAGETSUKI.”
Everyone just fall dead silence. Then, there is a big laugher exploded on the scene.
“Is your brain okay? Everyone knows that Kagetsuki died during the last war!!” Gold, Silver, and Bronze laugh very hard.
“Well…..honestly I cannot believe I am still alive for all this time. Plus, I have no idea I have to waste my time with you low lives.” Kagetsuki says. The three get very angry because no one has ever talked to them like that before. They take it as a great insult.
“You will pay for this!” the three yells as they shot their scales at Kagetsuki from all difference directions. Kagetsuki just smiles and takes out a sword.
“What?....a normal sword, not a lightsaber?” Tricky says. That sword looks long but much thinner that Tricky’s. Kagetsuki then start swinging his sword aimlessly with ease. Scythe and Tricky sees the scales are falling on the ground like rain. Gold and his comrades finish shooting and find out none of the attack hit Kagetsuki.
“Huh! You have to be at least this good to take the name Kagutsuki!” Silver says. Kagetsuki just whistles as he uses his left thumb and points downwards. The three, Tricky, and Scythe takes a look and finds two words made up with scales on the ground.
“NICE AIM”
