Lifetime Rating for Mellinium_Ben21: 4.8182 |  | The greenlight on the launch indicator flashes and your engines start automatically. Your Acolyte-class fighter exits the Command Ship for the first time and you pull into an escort position in front of it.You pull up behind another Acolyte and radio to him that you`re his new wingman.A mumble later he tell`s you to get into position on his rear left flank.You do so and put your Acolyte into tracker mode behind him.You lean back and doze off in the chair.You find yourself jolted awake by the red alert light as your Acolyte goes into auto dive behind you flight boss.You snap it back into manual drive and corkscrew to avoid a stream of fire from an Infected Turanic Fighter.The fighter zings by you and turns to trail you.You flight boss come`s out of no where and take`s him down with a few shots into the exhaust ports.The fighter begin`s to spin out of control and slam`s into an Infected Taiidan Attack Bomber.The bomber`s underbelly is ripped open by the fighter and it explodes in a plasmic burst,taking the fighter down with it.
You put your fighter on evasive mode and cut behind another bomber,tearing it to shreds in several seconds.Another Acolyte zooms in front of you,heading straight down as an Infected Acolyte chases it.The I. Acolyte rips off a few shots and destroy`s his target.You pull in behind him and try in vain to blast him out of the sky. He dodges and loop-de-loop`s behind you before attempting to vape you.You dodge his bursts and manuever around in an attempt to evade him.You spot a pack of Infected Ion Array Frigates and decide they may be your best chance for survival if you can exploit them.You dodge and cockscrew until you make it to your objective.The I. Acolyte continues chasing you the whole time.You wait for a few minutes while the Array Frigates charge their cannons.The moment they lose you quickly charge in,dodging between the cannonfire.
Your pursuer is quick to mimic your moves but isn`t fast enough to dodge the third Ion beam.His fighter is vaporized as you cockscrew below one of the frigates.You circle behind it and get in front of the bridge before cutting loose with every weapon you can bring to bear.The frigate begin`s to lose steering control and tilts toward`s another of the frigates,the cannon still firing.The frigate quickly punches a hole through it`s un-willing target`s sides.The other explodes as you ride out the shockwave.Your Acolyte tumble`s out of control before smashing into an Infected Turanic Fighter.You regain control and swerve to avoid his heavier,more powerful guns.You C-Dive behind him and bring him down.Suddenly you spot a bright glowing ball of flame."Oh shit...."you say to yourself as you hit evasive and try to outrun the expected impact zone.Most of your fellow Acolytes take the same course as the ball head`s toward a cluster of Infected Heavy Cruisers gaurding the main Beast Carrier.You turn to look at the fireball only to see a massive nuclear explosion the size of Hiigara releasing a shockwave taller than the Mothership itself.You put it into overdrive and slam the excess sheilds down.It`s too late though.The shockwave envelope`s your fighter and sends you cascading out of control.You struggle to regain despite the momentum against you.The speed brought by the shockwave doesn`t wear off and you can`t stop.
You struggle to turn the fighter around and then engage the afterburners.Your fighter begin`s to slow down as the shockwave desipitates.You find yourself thrown for 300 million miles from the rest of the Somtaaw fleet,your fighter is all but destroyed and you have only 3% hull integrity and 2% life support.You slow your breathing down and wipe the sweat off of your forehead.You go to dock with the Command Ship.
Helluva day for a rookie turned Ace. |
