~The Battle of the Empires~ A RP

"We ejected the cargo containers, but the overhead still had two metal crates in it." Shandrak pointed at the hatch.

The two crated were jettisoned out the rear hatch and they brought the ship around to test their two types of missiles.

Missile one fired. Which usually released an ionic discharge to weaken shields. Instead it came out if the tube like a phoenix, and engulfed the container with fiery arms sparking as seemingly sawed right through it.

"whoot," Crut whistled. "Well, we no what it will do if there are no shields."

The second missile was a destroyer that drilled into the hull before detonating. This was no true test of the weaponry but at least they could detect the differences. It shot out normally but once it neared its target it grabbed it with lightning like tentacles then destroyed it.

"Good enough- we need to save those." Nostros chuckled. "We need to get to the frigate."

"We will have a trajectory in about 10 minutes." Merinos cleared his throat.

Nostros walked over to Shandrak. "We need to get you home more than ever. You can reshape the fleet!"

"Slowly." She nodded. "Did you come in search of me?"

Nostros shook his head. "I had to."

"Did the King order it?"

"No..." Nostros looked away.

Shandrak just stared at him and smiled. Though inside she was in great turmoil. "We can't keep doing this."

"I know."

"No you don't know." She placed her hand on his face. "I am going to reject him, I have too."

Nostros grabbed her hand and pulled it away. "He would just kill me and take you anyway."

"He's not like that." Shandrak's heart pounded. "He would be understanding, he is a good King."

"And what of the people?"

Shandrak sat back down and buried her face in her hands. Nostros placed his hand on her head in sympathy then walked back over to Torik who was starting to drill Tracker with a million questions.

Krits sat next to Shandrak again. "Nostros knows the King better than you or I. This will all pass in time."

"Would you just let me be for a few minutes?" Tracker snapped at Torik. Nakiso rolled his eyes at Tison and Jiro as they bantered, then listened in on the conversation between Shandrak, Krits and Nostros. He didn't say anything, just eavesdropped on them out of sheer curiousity.

Kyro grunted as he fell on his back from the teleport; the Izouix energy used to power Drexian teleports was hard on him. Naika pinned him down, cuffing his hands and feet with death cuffs that were practically impossible to escape. She then gagged him, throwing him into the cargo area before she sped off towards the mothership. The mothership had begun to vibrate; the planet buster had less than a minute before it would be launched.

Kyro tried to cover his ears as a sudden loud whistling noise broke through the air. He grimaced, feeling as if his ears were going to bleed at any second. Suddenly he heard faint voices outside the cargo door though they were mostly drowned out. The whistling became more distant though it was still there. Kyro looked out the cargo area window, and he was horrified by what he saw.

"Got it." Merinos thrust his fist up in the air. "Jump in 5... 4...3..2.." The ship corrected course then disappeared.

"ETA?" Nostros inquired.

"About an hour."

"That far? Huh." Nostros was quite irritated then turned and left for the cargo locker so he could vent without the others noticing his frustration.

Shandrak wanted to follow him, but Krits put his arm in from of her chest to stop her. "Leave him be or you will make it worse." Krits looked up at Nakiso noting his eavesdropping.

Nakiso walked away, his interest fading quickly. He watched something out the window, a million thoughts on his mind. He hoped that nothing bad had happened to Riku and Si'ralle.

Wait!
Nakiso's eyes snapped open wider. He stared at the corner of the viewing pod. What had happened to them? He hadn't seen them since the Battek had blown to bits!

30 minutes later the ship dropped from the jump. "uuuh?" Merinos looked at the scanner. "We are here?"

Nostros came out of the locker. "Why have we stopped?"

Merinos pointed out the viewer at the Frigate. "I guess she's faster too?"

"Everyone except Merinos, Crut, and Captain Shandrak are to board the Frigate. The three of you will head back to Terrellia in this well capable shuttle." Nostros punched in a security code and sent it to the frigate. "Captain Torik we will take you wherever you want to go before we journey on our endeavor."

The frigate responded with a return code and three fighters came to escort the shuttle to the docking bay. While en route Shandrak handed a small vile to Nostros, advising him to use it wisely.

Torik nodded, calling to his crew to come on. Nakiso followed him, still worried about his comrades.

Kyro looked out the cargo area window, and he was horrified by what he saw.

The whistling sound was the planet buster coming down to the planet. Naika opened a com with the mothership, waiting impatiently.

"Naika! What took you so long?" A large, muscular Lunar Cat snapped over the com.

"Don't you get snippy with me Kludd!" Naika snapped back angrily, "if the master didn't force me to get you, I'd leave you here!"

Kludd exhaled, "alright Naika. I'm sorry."

"Good," Naika said, satisfied, "have you launched the planet buster?"

"Yes," Kludd replied.

BOOM.

Torik nodded, calling to his crew to come on. Nakiso followed him, still worried about his comrades.

Nostros came bock on board the shuttle looking at Merinos and Crut. "I wish I could take you two with me. Crut you would be most handy on this mission, but I respect your loyalty to Shandrak, and I wouldn't trust anyone else to protect her. We know that she is our future and must return home. Now there are supplies in the docking bay please go take what you need." They nodded then left Shandrak and Nostros alone. Nostros took her hand. "I do love you and fear I will not return from this mission. I am a dead man either way." Then he grabbed her and kissed her. He set her down slowly and pressed his forehead against hers. "Protect our people and be good to my cousin the King." Then he turned and walked away.

A single tear rolled down her cheek as the other two came back on board. The Shuttle departed for Terrellia.

Not once did Captain Nostros look back at it. "Come Nakiso we need to discuss you plans in private. We will depart as soon as we've made them. Too bad the Gingercats won't be staying with us, we could use them." Nostros felt something on his cheek, it was a tear. He wiped it quickly, it was rare for Terrellian males to cry.

Nakiso was suddenly quiet. He decided not to press and didn't say anything, he simply nodded.

Nakiso was suddenly quiet. He decided not to press and didn't say anything, he simply nodded.

"Hello I am Mork." A well decorated Centaurian approached them. "I know that you have business to get down to. Yet I would like you to advise you a bit about the resources on the frigate. She is the only one like it at the moment. It is a combination of Battain and Terrellian technology (which includes all the species knowledge in the Terrellian Empire). She is designed to be stealth and can cloak under certain conditions, she has a formidable weapons bank, 30 light fighters, and 20 heavy fighters, 5 battle shuttles, and the standard amount of transport shuttles, 200 armed escape pods. The crew consists of both our most elite that are left. 500 strong. Also compliments of a friend we have a secondary ship piggybacking recently named the Battek II. We haven't named the Frigate yet, and wanted to leave it up to you Captain Nakiso." Mork nodded, then bowed at Nostros. "Your Highness is joining us."

"Yes Captain Mork."

"We are proud to have you aboard. I remember your deeds of old, so many years ago. I am no longer Captain of this vessel."

"You will always be a Captain, Mork."

"You should be addressed as your proper title Highness."

"I do it to keep a low profile Mork, you may Call me Nostros." He nudged Nakiso into the command conference room located behind the bridge. "Well what do you think of the ship?"
