Storm Hawks: The Yuuzhan Vong War

XIX

At the Black Gorge, the Atmosian Coalition had assembled their entire fleet to fight the Vuuzhan Vong. Leading the coalition fleet was the Storm Hawks. On the bridge of the Condor, the Storm Hawks waited with anxiety.

Stork: So this is how it ends? Dying above the Black Gorge fighting a savage alien race with the Cyclonians.

Aerrow: We'll beat them, Stork. No matter what happens, this war ends.

As Aerrow said that, a low rumbling was felt. Out in the distance, the Yuuzhan Vong fleet came into sight.

Aerrow: Looks like they're here. Everyone to your Skimmers! Stork, the Condor's all yours.

Stork: Good luck out there.

With that, Aerrow and the other Storm Hawks got on Skimmers while Stork remained on the Condor. As the Yuuzhan Vong fleet began to converge on the fleet of the Atmosian Coalition, Tsavong surveyed the enemy fleet from the bridge of his personal Worldship with a sadistic smile on his face. The Yuuzhan Vong fleet outnumbered the Atmosian fleet ten to one. On the Atmosian side, a sense of fear and uncertainty fell on all fighters. Sky Knights. Cyclonians. Raptors. All who had a stake in this fight were there. This was the most massive fleet ever assembled in the history of Atmos. Yet it still was vastly outnumbered. Aerrow could see that hope for victory in this battle was balanced upon the edge of a knife. He turned to Piper who seemed scared most of all. Without saying a word, he offers a reassuring smile towards her. 

Aerrow: For Atmos. 

Without hesitation, Aerrow drives his Skimmer headfirst into the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. The rest of the Storm Hawks soon followed Aerrow into battle. The Atmosian fleet soon joined the Storm Hawks in a battle that would decide the fate of Atmos. In that moment, an intense battle broke out between the Atmosian fleet and the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. As the battle commenced, swarms of Yorik-et starfighters flooded the battlefield. Sky Knights and Cyclonians fought side by side in an intense battle against the Yuuzhan Vong above the Black Gorge. Sky Knight and Cyclonian warships formed a line and unleashed a barrage of blaster fire on the Worldships, destroying one in the process. During the battle, the Condor faced heavy fire from the swarms of Yorik-et fighters. Stork attempts to maneuver through them, but is unable to. 

Stork: Not like this! Not like this!

Suddenly, Repton and his Raptors swarmed the Condor and shot down the Yorik-et starfighters. 

Repton: RAPTORS! GLORY IS UPON US! A SWORD DAY, A RED DAY, ERE THE SUN RISES! NOW FOR WRATH! NOW FOR RUIN AND THE WORLD IS ENDING!

Repton lets out a mighty war cry as he led the Raptors to battle. As the battle raged over the Black Gorge, the Atmosian fleet began to sustain heavy damage from the Yuuzhan Vong fleet as warships were being shot down. 

Finn: Aww man! Those guys are kicking our butts!

Junko: What are we going to do?!

Aerrow: We have to hold the line no matter what, Junko! Everything depends on us! We have to buy Cyclonis time!

Piper: Aerrow's right! Atmos is counting on us! We can't give up!

With that, the Storm Hawks led the charge against the relentless onslaught of the Vuuzhan Vong. Starling followed the Storm Hawks in the charge along side Harrier and the Rex Guardians, Suzy Lu and the Blizzarians, Dove and the Rebel Ducks as well as all the major Sky Knight squadrons. Despite their best effort, the Atmosian fleet were slowly loosing ground as the Yuuzhan Vong fleet began to encircle them. On the bridge of his Worldship, Tsavong watched with satisfaction as his enemies were slowly being crushed by the might of the Yuuzhan Vong. It was only a matter of time until the Atmosian fleet was overwhelmed. He could see the Storm Hawks making their stand. 

Tsavong: Let the heretics burn in the name of Yuu Yuuzhan....

As the Vuuzhan Vong fleet moved for the kill, a low rumble was felt. The battlefield became silent as the Malevolence entered the battle. It was joined by a fleet of Cyclonian Warships. Sky Knights and Cyclonians alike cheered at the arrival of the restored Malevolence. On the bridge of the Malevolence, Master Cyclonis looked upon the battlefield with interest. Standing alongside her were Dark Ace as well as Ravess and Snipe.

Master Cyclonis: The time has to show all of Atmos the full might of the Malevolence. 

Dark Ace: We are yours to command, Master Cyclonis. 

Master Cyclonis: Dark Ace, you as well as Ravess and Snipe will lead the Nightcrawlers against the Vong fighters. 

Dark Ace: As you wish, Master Cyclonis. 

Snipe: Finally! A battle worthy of me!

Ravess: Try not to die, brother! 

Dark Ace along with Ravess and Snipe left the bridge to join the Nightcrawlers. They then led the Nightcrawlers in a charge that evened the odds for the Atmosian fleet. Master Cyclonis remained on the bridge to coordinate the Malevolence's assault. On Cyclonis's orders, the Malevolence unleashed a barrage of blaster fire on the Worldships, destroying many in the process. With the arrival of the Malevolence, Aerrow gathered the Storm Hawks. 

Aerrow: All right, guys! This is our chance! We're going to Tsavong's Worldship! 

Finn: This is where the fun begins! 

With that, the Storm Hawks put their plan in motion as they set their sights on Tsavong's Worldship in an attempt to infiltrate the Worldship and defeat the Warmaster. With the arrival of the Malevolence, the outcome of the battle between the Atmosian fleet and Yuuzhan Vong fleet was uncertain.
