The Battle for Earth

Flight Suit

"IT'S A TRAP!" cried John.

Way to state the obvious, John. So yeah. I make a flight suit capable of amazing powers and for what? John just cares about protocol, Joseph is stubborn, Henry... Henry's fine, I guess. As well as Demi. But Yinoshi... I have a feeling that whatever she had was NOT just Llama Juice.

"Everyone, Delta Formation!" yelled Joseph.

Everyone flew around into a triangular formation. John was at the front, Joseph and Marijn in the two spots behind him. Henry in the middle at the back, with Demi to the right of him and Yinoshi... way behind to the left.

"Hannah, please get into formation," said Joseph. "Why did you have to get drunk?"

"EHEHEHEHEHEHE LLAMAS!" yelled Hannah.

Marijn sighed in exasperation. "I really didn't want to do this, but times come for drastic measures. JOMVIS, activate Tractor Beam, minimal level."

Marijn's flight suit started beeping and whirring. A beam of light shone on Yinoshi's ship.

"Jomar... since when did your flight suit have a tractor beam?" asked Henry.

"Ever since the Arsenal added one to its hull," replied Marijn.

"That's excellent, Marijn!" cried John. "Can it do other things?"

"Yeah. It can do basically anything besides tie your shoelaces up," said Marijn.

"You're kidding!" said Demi. "Can it fire a nuclear missile at the Nemesis and blow up their sh**?"

"If it could, we would die too," said Joseph. "The blast radius of one of Marijn's missiles is-"

"LLAMAS INCOMING!" yelled Hannah.

That cry just saved everyone. If they kept on talking about Marijn's suit, they would have died. John swerved to the left, Marijn shielded himself, Joseph fired torpedoes at the incoming projectiles. Only Henry seemed to be affected at all. His ship's starboard wing was in flames.

"I'm hit!" cried Henry.

"Hold on, " said Demi. "I've got this!"

Demi moved her ship beside Henry's. From beneath the hull, a hydraulic arm emerged and tried to swat away the flames. Nothing happened.

"Not working!" said Henry in fear.

"Henry, try to stabilize. I'll come over," said Marijn.

Marijn flew over to Henry's ship. On his suit's shoulder, a compartment opened up with tools on tiny arms. They fixed the wing. Henry's ship shuddered and balanced itself.

"You good now?" asked Marijn.

"Thanks, Marijn. I owe you one," said Henry.

"Is everyone okay n-" asked John before he was interrupted.
