VC2 Chapter 24-Elysium Hornets

Sector 2100

Planet 2103

November 21, 2052

A Caucasian middle-aged man with glasses sat in the command chair overlooking an armada of Revelation cruisers painted with “E-H” on their hulls. He brushed his dark hair and then activated his transmission.

“This is Admiral Simon Watts of Elysium Hornets...we have arrived.” the man transmitted.

Owens appeared on screen and looked quite worn out. In the background in Owen's base, there were explosions in the distance.

“Good to see you here Admiral Watts. CMD has already launched their attacks on us. We need all available hands. My forces are being depleted by the dozens.” Owens replied grimly.

“Understood Vice Admiral Owens. We're on our way and engage at once.” Watts nodded and turned off his transmission.

“Orders sir?” the communications officer at his station asked out loud.

“Deploy White Tiger squadrons two to five and commence attack. I want all of Black Tiger squadrons to deploy at NB Headquarters. Fortify and hold defensive.” Watts flipped some switches on his seat as he adjusted into battle mode.

“On it sir!” the officer nodded and began to relay commands.

A good chunk of the armada split apart and began heading towards the battle far way. Another chunk headed towards the NB planet where the main battle was ongoing.

“Move to engage hostiles.” Watts activated his ships engines and began to lead the remaining fleet of ships.

“Commander Dolan and his fleets have engaged enemy at planet 1601.” an officer reported.

“Commander Walton's fleet is under heavy attacks near 1602. Advise we send backup.” the communications officer reported.

“Alright, that's where we are headed. Ready all weapons!” Watts turned his ship and increase thrust.

Watt's cruiser sped forward at an amazing pace towards the battle near 1602. Hundreds of ships were in space firing at each other creating a spectacular display of lights. A CMD Fury battleship turned to its broadside weapons and fired a cluster of hex missiles.

“Hold on tight.” Watts sharply turned the ship left to avoid the incoming missiles.

The Revelation cruiser behind Watts was not agile enough and was splattered with tons of hex missiles leading to its demise.

“One cruiser is down.” an officer reported as the dead EH cruiser drifted in space.

“Break formation and cover each other's back.” Watts ordered as he turned his ships back towards the Fury.

The Fury turned and unleashed another barrage of missiles, but was easily avoided by Watt's quick reflexes.

“Fire all weapons!” Watts shouted as the Fury were in his ship's range.

Watt's cruiser fired a steady stream of scatter missiles towards the stationary battleship. The explosives seem have have minimal effect on the ship's shockwave shields.

“More hostiles incoming!” the radar officer alerted the crew as a three Revelation cruisers headed towards them.
