Arc 1, Special Thread 1: Storming Onyx Spire
The Konnidan speeds ahead, suddenly supercharged by an infusion of Solar essence. Ahead of them they can see the Jagganathika opening up its hangar for Diamond Sky, who blows past them in a blur of blue-black light.
"No. Any more bindings and I wouldn't have been able to function."
Then they feel it. The warp bubble collapses. There's all of a half second before space is completely full of Dead ships, a vast armada, including three flagships. Arkady even gets to see via a feed in the engine room.
"Idiots."
Diamond Sky hits the hangar hard, all but crashing in. ONYX SPIRE finally finishes its implosion. The planetoid shatters like a glass bottle, sending shards of itself out everywhere, and there- a howling black hole is sent out, away from them, and directly into a portion of the Abyssal fleet. A full Buchenwald-class flagship and several Nanking-class cruisers are sucked right in, and the rest of them are pulled out of alignment.
"JUMPING!"
The Konnidan and the Jagganathika linger just long enough to see the ruin of the enemy fleet before jumping to safety.
