  Its  Not  long after the  song starts,  and the Hermes begins to peel back to deal More Damage to the Massive  Battle Ship... when    Cummings   opens  COM 1   to  All COM s   so the   ESN  forces  can hear the troops....   singing  along , clamping  or  stamping their boots to the drum beat..


 The woman  'in charge" of the  Gava's COMs,..The Gava's  Love it!..they  are  ..like..line dancing!

   the little  warriors  were  stomping on the  dec...  and  where    howling  along  with the  song...

...........

 On the shuttles   some of the   people  were clapping  along, a few  singing certain parts... 'No Mercy' one of the biggest lines....." Here it comes , here it comes"

  Larry Loked  around    a Larg smile  as he  thumped his tail

 ..............


 On Board the Battleships  COM offcier s   tried to   clock out the  Song, but.. when they didn that, they had  no COMs!... confusion reigned. Some of the    'Line  Began to  Move... Some began to turn.. some stayed  still... on the far   Port  end.. The  second to LAst  Ship, Rammed the Next  ship  as  it moved  'according to Line"  while the   other ship  tried to Pivot  twoards  Aqra... the resulting Crash,  set of explosions.. fires  and More  explosions.. it would be 15 minutes  , ebfore   Both  ships  shattered... and were pulled towards  the planet by the Hungry gravity...


 .................

  Shadow  Chuckled  ,he knew the fight  was just starting, but..the Fleet had  Numbers and FAster  ships...in the back of his Mind he hoped the losses  for    the Fleet would be low....But he looked around....Ok>.. head Hunters?....  we're Out here.. a few thousand of us.....  don't  see you  anywhere  around..Unless that whole 'head' thing..doesn'[t mean what i thought it means...might be alot of smiling Fish Guys though?

   Indeed, No Red Fighters  were  seen...yet... But  rising from the Planet were the  Vapor  and Mist   fighters...Ariv?..... The  Aqra  brag thier  fighters  are Better then Yours.. why don't you  lead the Feltites   Down, we'll be right behind you...

 ..Yes, that will be ..most  fun... she    screamed a  Feltite Battle cry and   all the felrites in the  Fleet  dove    down into the Atmo




...........

 The Assault  shuttles  followed ,, with   the Hermes Wing, athena's  wing and Odin's  wing provide  a  portective bubble.. while other  fighters    formed Up with teh transport troop shuttles.. Droppign  down  from the Atmp, right  behinf the  Battle line... the one place no  Aqra  thought the enemy could.....

Teela’s Dart screamed through the black with the rest of the fighters from the Hermes. She felt the thrilll of battle swelling inside her chest and  opened up on anything that dared get in their way. She spotted a corvette towards the tail end of the enemy fleet that could turn its guns on the fighters and shuttles. “LC, do you mind if I dance with that corvette? I want to take out their guns before they pull themselves together enough to fire on our ships heading for atmo.”

  ..be careful.. we don't know much about   their  weapons.. or armor... but remember.. we're here  for the troops.. get  into Atmo as soon as your  Done... Justin   is your wing. take him with  you...

.. the  Blues  and greens of the  planet below were beautiful..it wouldn't stay that way very long...unless   Aqra  just gave up... the LC snickered  at that  thought, and  kept lookign  for  fighters that  were Red.

 The felrites were  tangling  with, and destroying  the  Aqra  fighters.....a few of the  felrite   aircraft were smoking, but they continued  downwards... looking for  Fighters.. or Ground Forces...

“Copy that. Justin,, go high and cover me. I’m going to make one pass before heading for atmo.” She waited for his copy before breaking off at incredible speed, jinking to avoid any incoming fire and then she was less than two metres above the enemy ship’s hull. She opened up with lasers and 37mm fire in controlled bursts and shot gun emplacements, sensors, portholes, anything she could hit for maximum damage or to open sections to vacuum. As she screamed past their stern she slammed the fighter into a vector change so the front of the fighter faced the corvette whilst she still flew towards the planet. She put laser and cannon fire right up the skirt of the ship, targeting engines and cooling vanes before performing another 180 and hitting her afterburners to catch up to the other fighters.

She checked her rear display to see what kind of effect her run had on the corvette.

  the Aqra  Corvette ( or the class   WE assigned to it)  only had    forward  firing Batteries for ships  Guns, but.. auto fired  AA weapons  . two to each side.... the Belly  opened  to  emit  two Mist Fighters, one Broke left the other broke  right..

 Teela  Felt he r  fighte rshake   as the   Aft starbaord  gun  put    heavy pusle into her belly// light  turned   ornage  for her  coolant motor...

 As she   fired. she  did take out the  COM disk on the top  and the forwards, Starboard AA Gun.. saw she  Banked and Fired... at the    rear..  she felt  more impacts  from the  port  side  Fighter.. The starbaiord fighter  was chasing Justin..

 her   rounds   Hit the  thrusters  enough that one   flickered on and off...

Justin spotted several Corvette that were lingering at the rear of the Aqra fleet. Fighters from both forces were mixing things up, he'd had three short swift skirmishes with some of these when Teela commend the LC for permission to test out her skills against one of the Corvettes. Shadows affirmative reply prompted a Glory Hunter, grimace from him along with a shrug. Acknowledge 19 Over. he replied. Breaking off his pursuit of a Bogie, Justin altered course towards the Last Corvette, in the Enemy Fleets formation, accelerating in its direction. Closing in on Teela's position just as two fighters appeared to emerge from beneath it, either that or they swept in from its Port side passing under it to interpose themselves between it and the Corvette. Reacting to their appearance Justin quickly side slipped his Nova to Starboard and lined up on the first, squeezing two burst off in its direction seconds before the targeting com sounded. Quickly rolling the Nova over and jinking to Port Justin slipped the Nova's guncam's into an excellent targeting and filming solution on the second Bogie, firing three bursts at it in the process then in response to the LC's order broke contact caring nothing about the bogie fighters.

Sweeping forward he came about hard bringing the Nova alongside Teela Ready when you are 124 commend Justin, as she began her run. Going high as she suggested he manoeuvred to cover her 6 from on high. Once her run had finished Justin started his own, along the opposite side of the Corvette, mirroring Teela's attack. Sweeping across the Corvettes hull targeting gunports, turrets, portholes, sensor arrays and anything that appeared it may harm the ship firing controlled blaster and 37mm bursts in their direction. Seconds before reaching the rear of the Corvette Justin banked the Nova hard then tapped on the nose thrusters flipping it nose down, bringing his guns to bear on the facing the ship easing up considerably on his thrusters to allow the Fighters momentum to propel it towards the rear of the hapless Aqraian Ship, pumping bursts into it in the process.

Once clear of the rear Justin angled the Nova's nose towards the Corvettes engines applying additional thrust and bringing his fighter from its Starboard Engine to Port engine pumping four bursts into the engine Teela had. Executing a tight quick Immelmann, Justin tapped his thrust propelling the Nova away from the Corvette zig zagging as he did, he quickly joined B Flight, as the Wing made its way towards the Planet. Well that was different don’t you think Teela. he commed

Teela accelerated and climbed, locking on to the fighter chasing Justin and fired sustained pulses from her lasers before letting off a controlled burst from her cannons once she had it lined up. She jinked to avoid the expanding debris cloud and looked for the other fighter.

“It’s been awhile since I Skin Danced an enemy ship so taking the opportunity when it’s presented is good. I didn’t want them firing on our shuttles so I gave them something else to think about.” She replied, switching over to her secondary cooling, still watching for enemy fighters.

     The First Mist Pilot that Banked to the  (Justin's ) Poet side.. was   chewed up and broke  up.. the  37 MM and Heavy pulse Guns  seemed to  do the Jon o Aqra  Fighters...at lest the Mist  Class. Vapor class seemed a bit more robust.

 the  portside    AA guns  had  been knocked out by  Justin's pass  before  the  two fighters    banked

 The one that Broke  to   the  'attacker's "  starbaord, winged  around  and Got on  Justin's   six.. firing   weapons   into her  as she  fired into the Thrusters of the  Corvette.


  Justin,   wheeled  around at that Point...   and they  Pumped   rounds into the Corvette's thrusters... , peeling off    as    the thruster s   flickered  out...  and the corvette,  fell away  from the formation.

  the  Ride  was  Bumpy, the  Atmo thick  with  Moisture  and O2... this  could be   seen by the Growing flames  from the impact area of the  prisoner  shuttle.. and the  thing  smock  from smaller fires that   were too 'wet'... There didn't seem to be  any troops  yet, but...that would change. They just kicked the Ant  hill.


  Lyri called out,..weapon's  ready... helmets  and suits  set... fan out.. first step is to set up a perimeter.. when  the drop shuttles  come down.. we Move towards  that fire... The Capitol city is in that Lake.... we're Gonna make it   rubble..


    Morgan said to the Mechs.....we  move   to the   west..  help them set the perimeter ..if its not ESN or those little Gava things.. you kill it..

 Frans Voice  come over the COMs... looks like  Vehicles  comign up from the water... APVs?  Armor?..  we'll shoot  them up...

 The 'Wolves  song still played..it was back round for the ESN that still used COM 1... it was  'jamming'  to the  Aqra..
