Jake
sat in his command chair as he watched the ragtag fleets approach his
outer ships defending his main ship.
“Are
you serious? Anyone seeing this?” Jake laughed hysterically and
clapped his hands as NB and EH ships blew into pieces.
“Sir we are doing
exceptionally well holding our ground.” an officer commended Jake.
“No
duh. I know what I'm doing.” Jake waved him off.
“Incoming
cruiser at high speed. Collision imminent!” an officer alert Jake
as he was still busy celebrating his success.
Out
of nowhere in front of him, a fiery Revelation cruiser smashed
through a venom battleship and continued its course towards Jake's
ship at high speeds.
“Concentrate
all fire at the incoming cruiser!” Jake pointed as his smile
suddenly disappeared when he realized it was Owens' ship.
A
steady stream of lasers peppered Owen's cruiser shredding the forward
hull, but it was not slowing the massive hunk of metal flying towards
them.
“Evasive
manoeuvres!” Jake strapped to his command seat and grabbed for the
controls.
“If
I'm going down, you are going down with me!” Owens broadcasted on
the comms.
“Shit....”
Jake tilted his ship left, but was too late.
Owens'
ship smashed into Jake's ships creating a massive shockwave rippling
through the hull. Massive chunks of debris lodged into Jake's cruiser
creating significant hull damages. Owens' ship was nothing but a huge
piece of metal floating in the space while Jake's ship was rapidly
losing its hull integrity by the vacuum of space.
“Sir!
We need to evac now!” an officer lying on the ground shouted as he
stood to his feet.
Jake
unbuckled from his seat and realized that the NB and EH fleets had
broke through his defences ramming their ships with his in an all out
display of courage and bravery exemplified by Owens.
“Get
a ship over here to pick me up. We are leaving now!” Jake shouted
as he dashed towards the escape pods.
Jake
rushed into the escape pod and notified the pilot waiting inside.
“Sir?”
the pilot asked.
Jake
looked at the NB ships getting closer.
“We're
going now!” Jake bit his lip in anger at the loss of his ship and
fleet.
“What
about the others?” the pilot asked as other officers ran towards
their pod.
“We're
out of time. Launch!” Jake hit the button to the escape pod and
shut the access door.
“Yes
sir.” the pilot nodded regretfully and launched the pod into space
where a CMD Talon frigate was waiting to pick them up.
The
Talon frigate latched onto the escape pod and warped into space
leaving the remaining battered CMD ships on their own.
