"Boarding crew, make directly for the Hangers on the gun, marking on HUD now! Defense team, make sure they get there before splitting!" As soon as the mission was a go, the launch catapult signaled green and Destiny's End was shot out of the super carrier and into the void. Outside, the space battle was waging hard with ships and mechas from both sides duking it out in outer space. The neon blue lined pale grey FRAME released the thrusters on its back, and blasted ahead of the boarding convoy to clear the path for them. Several mechas moved to intercept him, unknowingly signing their own death warrants. First a unit of missile FRAMEs opened fire with a torrent of missiles at Kelley. Where Fate's Edge could dodge the individual missiles as it streaked towards it even with the lock, Destiny's Edge could cut apart every one of them and clear their blast zones before the detonation even happened. And that's exactly what Kelley did. A streak of explosions filled the black void as Kelley moved in between the missile FRAMEs. Before the enemy troopers knew what was happening, they were dead, cut apart by the twin swords of Destiny's End. Another unit of Riflemen began firing on the Missile FRAMEs as they exploded, hoping to take out Kelley as he cut the Missile FRAMEs. They were wrong of course, as the Rider and his FRAME promptly appeared behind them, before a single stroke from both swords took out their entire firing line. Finally someone with enough luck and timing was able to close with the FRAME to just attack it, let alone damage it. A unit of bladesmen (ones with the two handed swords) and shielded swords men (sort of like Ioren's original FRAME but in mass production form) descended upon Destiny's End. The first attacker was surprised when his sword got stuck into the head of a comrade as the harpoon had dragged one of the bladesmen in front of Destiny's End as a shield, and even more surprised as the straight sword from Kelley impaled the trooper shield into its attacker, killing the two. He then slowed down to dance and almost play spar with the rest a bit, before using the new straight sword to pierce the shield of another swordsman with ease into the mecha itself and cutting apart the last two enemy with the standard mode blue laser sword clearing the way for the boarders. OOC: RESULTS: 15 enemy mechas destroyed, 5 Missile FRAMEs, 5 Riflemen, 3 Swordsmen and 2 Bladesmen.
As the ship bay opened the 3rd to deploy was sentinel out side Her Frame got used to being in space without being magnetized to the ground she pressed a button deploying her frames jump Jets and heading forward catching up with the rest of the group. Her claw extended with Her other arm she raised it forward with a smile as she saw Splinter targets coming into range. Her first Weapons ranged was her PPC and Gauss cannon she fired two shots destroying 2 rifle men. She then Revved forward with claw extended. As two swords men came into view. he Claw skewered one while swatting another down. Her other arms Autocannon began swirling and Obliterated the Third Swords men. She launched forward as the Recoil began sending her FRAME back a bit. "Keep Going and don't stop Lets Send them all out In a Inferno" Sentinel said laughing over the Comms. As her Frame was struck by several shots by a Riflemen. Her hull managed to hold as a shot on her Leg and one of her Frames arms registered. "Frost Get to it." she said as he began his Duty's and she continued to Assist the boarders by heading for those in front of them Intercepting and destroying all those who tried to fire on them. 2 missile frames came into her view as her Frame Swerved to get them into her sights ,She took aim At there missile racks and fired at one first with her PPC aiming for the ammunition may for the missiles causing it to go down in a satisfying explosion. She then aimed at the other missile frame that began Firing at her. She took aim and Fired with her Gauss canon Firing the shot at its missile bays also but not stopping the ones coming at her. Her FRAME took the hits to the chest Causing her to be thrown back a bit. She fired her jump jets to compensate and head forward. OOC results. 2 Rifle men 3 swords men 2 missle FRAMES
(OOC: Jesus, I had to sort through 37 alerts this morning to get here) Kyras took the offered hand of Veskander and shook it heartily. "Kyras. It will be fun flying with you! Lets get this show on the road. Ill see you in the hanger." The PRAETORIAN launched with no issue, and Immediately made a beeline for the hanger with its allies. The main issue in space wasn't actually combat with any specific enemy. No, it was dodging all the fire from the heavier ship mounted guns that each starcraft fired at another. The sky was practically filled with the stuff, so saturation started to become a problem. There were a couple intrepid FRAMEs that tried to get close though, and they were quickly given the ever polite pls leave end of the arm canon of friendship. Eventually, Kyras made it fully across the field of war and saw the hanger incoming. He slammed his feet into the ground and skidded to a halt, at the same time firing on any moving, breathing, or otherwise existing thing that was not a wall. Once the area was cleared of hostiles, he moved his FRAME to a corner and hopped out in his full war regalia, followed by a Spyder, scarab swarm, Fredrick, and two Wraiths.
Enyo nodded at the orders and jogged to the Hangar. His FRAME was fully prepped and he had just finished suiting up. Connecting his body to the mechanical control links, he moved around for a little, the FRAME following his movements. With it's single Red eye burned to life, Broadside began to move to the Launch Catapult. Being the last to leave, he followed with his team to defend the boarders. While the mech's were being slayed, Enyo decided to aim for one of the Corvettes. His Rail Cannon swung over the FRAME's shoulder, steadying it with his left hand. A zoomed up picture of the Ship was shown to his targeting unit on Enyo's right eye. A reticle moved over the Bridge of the ship, three flashes of a lock showed. As the last flash happened, the Rail Cannon's barrel grew gold, before dieing down and nothing happened. Or so the naked eye could see. Only far out observers would notice a object quickly cutting through space. OOC: Focused on a Warship. Let you handle it.
< @Xanxas @Vikingvesk > The hangar was now a mess, thanks to the Riders entry. Any Splinter personnel who were not immediately destroyed fled as an alarm went off inside the gun. Sergeant Gorgon leaped out of his FRAME with a large, tri-barreled plasma gun and rushed to cover the doors, taking cover behind the fallen arm of a destroyed Mecha. while Dunni also leapt out, wearing his Exo-Suit with the Gatling guns on the shoulders. He quickly looked around, and dashed off to a terminal, accessing one near Kyras' position. "Soldiers incoming! Kyras, cover Dunni! Veskander, I need some help here!" Roared the sergeant as rifle-wielding Splinter Troops started to pour in through the doors, opposite the large bay doors. [ 25 Soldiers. Up to 5 Kills each ( @Xanxas +5 minion kills ) ] < @WanderingJester @Xaphen @Vulpas > "Boarding party confirmed inside! Kelley you have command!" Lieutenant Moren called in, as the StarRunner's Heavy Cannons ripped through space, piercing one Cruiser, taking it out of action while one Shell blew into the hangar of the Destroyer, causing a large explosion. (Kelley would notice that shell was suspiciously glowing orange). Enyo's shot flew straight and true, ramming directly through the Reactor of the corvette, which was evidenced by the large explosion that consumed it. However, this drew the ire of another corvette, who turned, a light cannon shell blasting him in the chest, doing minimal damage but knocking him back and shaking him up. [ @Xaphen - Light wound, minor targeting disruption ] Meanwhile, the UTC forces had began to push back, although one frigate was ripped apart by slugs from the Destroyer, the cruisers firing on the faster corvettes were having a little difficulty. A good amount of Splinter mecha broke off the melee, heading directly towards the Gun's hangar. But crow was there, his plasma cannon destroying the center of the group while Yalei made them scatter with shots from her pistols. [ Attack Group - @WanderingJester @Vulpas : 75 Bladesmen ; 75 Swordsmen ; 100 Riflemen ; 50 Missile ; 4 Corvettes (Mini-Boss) ; 2 Cruisers (Boss) ; Destroyer (No Strikes) . up to 25 kills each OR 10 kills and strike at a boss ] [ Defense Group - @Xaphen : 15 Bladesmen ; 10 Swordsmen ; 10 Riflemen . up to 15 kills ]
Kyras blazed forwards, veil of Darkness obscuring his form as the Canoptek constructs flew into position. He got a few nicks in his armor here and there, but otherwise reached their lines without incident. He slammed into the forrunner, impaling him on his Warscythe and throwing him back into the crowd. Two sweeping blows claimed the heads on another three troopers, and another fell split in two by a downward cleave. The canopteks had not remained idle in this time. The two Wraiths used his approach as cover, and as he distracted the mass each claimed a victim by putting a claw through their heads. The Spyder fired its weapon, claiming a life, and reached the front lines just a little behind the others. It claimed another two victims here, neither capable of withstanding its inhuman strength. [5 killed by Kyras, 5 killed by Canoptek]
"Boarding party confirmed inside! Kelley you have command!" Kelley hit the comms to the non-boarding party team. "Enyo, stay with the friendlies and fire on the enemy fleet. Rest of you, hit the crusiers, then the Destroyer, then the rest of the ships first." With that Destiny's End blasted towards the nearest crusier. Several Bladesmen and Swordsmen got in the way, only to be cut down by the twin swords of the FRAME. Kelley spotted the bridge of the cruiser, and shot straight at it, the straight sword fragmenting into whip mode and his arm winding back, then lauching the wipe at the bridge once he got in range. OOC: RESULTS: 5 Bladesmen and 5 Swordsmen destroyed. Struck at the Cruiser's bridge.
Sentinel was in Drifting in space as targets came in on her rader and on her hud. "Come on lets get them all in sight. As she heard her orders she began firing auto cannon Firing as the PPC arched towards the bridge aiming on assisting Kelley on taking out the bridge while her auto cannon wen't to shred enemy mechs. Her shots rang our as she began firing her jump jets to balance her then send her forward. Her auto cannon rounds rang out spearing through 3 swords men and two rifle men. She charged forth Claw activated as several swordsmen came. She cut through them as they came. Her claw cutting two and half and then Skewering one one her claw. She hefted him up and split him apart the fingers of the claw separating and scattering the remains of the mech. She continued forward as several rifle men took aim and fired upon her. her hull held. Her Gauss cannon spun towards the engines of the Corvette Kelly was taking aim to and fired heading towards the splinters engines to to stop them from running. "Need some help?" came through the com to Kelly as sentinels voice came through laughing as she wen't OOC results 2 riflemen 5 swords men 1 blades men one shot aiming towards the bridge and one towards its engines
"Need some help?" Kelley hit the comms @Vulpas as he continued towards the bridge of the first cruiser. "Nope, hit the other cruiser will ya?"
OOC: Posses a weapon that can instagib ships and he carries Capital ship torpedoes. So, you stick him to fight all the little guys... Enyo and his FRAME did a backflip after the force of the shot was registered. Quickly coming to his senses, he saw a multitude of mecha heading his way to try and finish what the Corvette started. Broadside sheathed its Rail Cannon and the missile pods attached to the side of his leg's began to spit out death. Most of the missiles ended up hitting their target and leaving the mechs inoperable, some even flew right through the target. The explosion from inside the mech or behind them leaving it just floating scrap. Each one of the approaching Bladesmen were disabled before they got to lay a hand on him. "Ill try my best..." Enyo radio back, rolling his eye at the command, obviously the Force commander did not know his team's capabilities if he left Enyo to deal with the smaller foes. While it was easy enough, it was not Broadside's designation as a Destroyer. He still followed the command, as any good Rider. [15 Bladesmen destroyed. Staying behind to aid fleet]
