Chujo Kelahame! an alarmed shriek came from the science station, aboard the Grand Star Battleship. The Elysian weapon is activating!
Chujo Elena Kelahame responded with planned calm. Taii Chikako, tell our fleet assault assets to charge weapons, [and to be] ready to fire on my command.
The first fleets two assault groups were in position. Zero fleets computer-controlled Ki-D1 ships were also ready. Fifty seconds until ready, a weapons specialist announced. As they watched, they could see the Elysian ships charging as they decloaked, in the main screens magnified picture. Teal energy blossomed like tea leaves in water, slowly reaching out from the glowing white hulls.
White Beams ready the weapons technician called out, her finger lingering over the Fire button of her cool blue control panels glossy surface.
Wait. Chujo Elena said coolly. The vice admiral looked hard at the enemy ships. What, she asked, squinting at the image, systems are the Elysian ships charging? What is the weapon aimed at? Is it operating at full strength?
The science officers worked at a frantic pace to answer her. Chujo! one called out. The weapon is pointed somewhere far away. The weapons source end seems to be in this area, though answered the first science officer.
The Elysian ships are charging their weapons and their FTL systems a second science officer announced.
not at full power. I believe the weapon is being used to transport the Elysian Fleet.
So theyre running? Elena raised an eyebrow. Danger to us?
The Elysian Fleet may be able to fire at us before the weapon teleports them, the first science officer answered.
All ships, fire White Beams at the Elysian Fleet. Do not approach them.
Dozens of white beams surged forth from the shields of the GSA ships, tearing into the Elysian ships, just as the Elysians fired at the First Fleet. The Star Army ships had positioned themselves out of the range of the all-destructive main guns of the battlecruisers, and so they took reduced damage. The Yuumi battleships had no trouble taking the hits, but the smaller ships were getting hurt.
GSS Maeda Teien (GF-185), GSS Makayaji (GF-186), GSS Manpukuji (GF-187), and GSS Manshuin (GF-188), all Ketsueki-class ships of the 1st Assault group, were destroyed in the initial exchange, and GSS Frontier (GS-00) burst into flames, hurtling out of control, nearly colliding with the GSS Shinjuku (GD-123).
33 enemy ships destroyed,
Send our Ketsueki ships forward to do close combat. No good letting them soak up damage here. Chujo Kelahame ordered. Keep the carrier group back. Ahead, the brave frigates charged at the Elysian fleet, massively outnumbered. All of them fired at once at the closest ship and heavily damaged it. They then split up and rammed into the sides of nearby ships, firing again as they passed through them and emerged on the other sides.
Elysian weapon is firing! a science officer yelled. The space in front of them warped like they were looking through a bubble. The rear half of the Elysian fleet disappeared suddenly, and then space went back to normal.
167 enemy ships remain. The second science officer said.
Continue White Beam fire continuously. The Chujo directed. Watch out for the frigates.
Planetary weapon is charging again.
Dont let them get away. Continue firing on the enemy ships.
All Ketsueki frigates lost. Enemy now bringing guns to bear on us again.
114 Enemy ships remain!
CHUJO! PLANETARY WEAPON HAS CHANGED FIRING POINT!!
By Syada! They dont plan on getting away All ships engage CDD Chujo Kelahame ordered, but the weapon was already firing. The space around them rippled and filled with solar plasma.
Aararrgh! a horrifying scream came from one of the bridge officers. Tiny pieces of a burning star had dotted the interior of the ships. The GWB firing had left a weakness in the spatial distortion shields that protected the ship from teleportation effects, and through it, little pieces of super-compressed material had slipped in. The sun chunks went off like bombs, their heat and pressure rippling through the air.
Chujo Elena was thrown from her seat by the force of a tiny little piece of sun hitting inside of a control panel. Looking up she could see both science officers and the navigation officer were dead. Report! she yelled out, only to find the fire had eaten the bridges air. Tearing a dented panel out of a nearby wall, she removed a white space suit and began getting in. Once she and the remaining bridge officers were suited up, she asked again, Status?
GSS Daishi and Ram are destroyed. Shinjuku heavily damaged, inoperable. Kurushima: heavy damage; no response. Revelation, shields down. Our shields down as well a survivor read from a control panel.
Order the carrier group to get out of here! the Chujo said. DFC status? TTD?
Too damaged to use.
Ask the Revelation if
Just then, all of the Elysian Battlecruisers fired at once at the GSS Revelation, and it disappeared in a brilliant glow of white light. It was the first Yuumi-class ship ever to fall.
Forgive me, Taisho Yui. The Chujo said aloud, tears in her eyes. She slapped a BU-P50R battery into a GP-12 rifle. The air started to flow again in the bridge once more, but she kept her helmet on.
Do you think they will attempt to board us? another Neko asked, also loading a rifle.
I dont know, the Chujo replied as she donned a flak jacket. Better to be prepared. She tossed the flak jacket to the Neko. And then, there was a third blast from the planetary weapon, and Geshrintall was below.
Meanwhile, over Geshrintall, the second part of the battle had already begun. The Zero Fleet ships were exchanging fire with the two hundred battlecruisers that had teleported first. Now, there were over a hundred more (Plus the falling remains of the GSA ships).
In a massive volume array of five-mile-wide beams, the assault cruisers covered the whole night sky, leveling the entire state of Castelia as their beams inundated the Ender-class ships in destruction, wiping them and others around them out of existence. As the Elysian ships continued to take large amounts of damage, they cut their losses and teleported away.
Now free to do as it wished, the giant planetary weapon, still operating on a reduced level, began to suck up more solar matter. In a few minutes, it dumped the stuff over the planet Damascia, instantly reducing one of the Nepleslians three planets into a lifeless, charred rock.
As the disabled GSS Kitsurugi Yui plunged into the waters of Karens Bay south of the Imperial Academy, the remains of the GSS Frontier hit and exploded in the actual campus itself, leaving only a field of scrap on the road that previously connected the marble ruins of Karens Lookout, and the small city of Tania.
The First Assault Group of the Fifth Fleet then appeared back at the Elysian Planet, and completely destroyed the world with their transposition cannons. The weapon was no more.
Chujo Kelahame was able to see the weapons destruction on the cracked screen of a hallway control panel as the water surged in around her and the communications officer, Chikaku. She stared at her rifle morbidly; Do you think I
Dont. the Taii warned, sensing Elenas overwhelming depression. Lets swim out, she suggested, keeping an eye on the Chujo for suicide attempts. Youve got a second chance. Dont waste it.
