Infinite Aces

The Stars Await

(The video above is what the Angel is closest to)

"What about the second contact on the targeting array?" Mileas asked.

"That I'm not sure of..." Avvix responded.

Mileas used the turrets scope settings to zoom in on the Airbase and hopefully the second contact. She caught the glare of a sniper scope in the corner of her eye when out of nowhere her scope went completely dark.

"I found the second contact!" Mileas said as she aimed the turret in that direction.

The second contact emerged from below the airbase. Mileas recognized it as a hover board. (a very expensive looking hover board.) There was a sniper wielding assailant riding on the board and was setting up for another shot.

Mileas pulled the triggers and sent a stream of plasma bolts at the hover board in hopes of forcing the sniper to disengage.

"Hey Mileas I have an idea, but it's ludicrously dangerous." Avvix said over the head set.

"I think I'm ok with that." Mileas responded while she shot at the sniper.

"I'm going to lose the Airbase by going into oncoming traffic." Avvix explained.

"That is a terrible idea Avvix!" Mileas protested.

"Got anything better?" Avvix asked.

There was silence for a moment...

"Go for it." Mileas said with a sigh.

Avvix quickly re angled his flight path right into oncoming traffic and started weaving through the passing ships. As he predicted the Airbase broke pursuit, but the sniper continued to chase, along with five fighter class starships.

'Just like the old days.' Avvix thought to himself.

He dove sharply underneath a sky bus in hopes of throwing off a few fighters. He blurred underneath only inches away from the passing vehicle's hull. There was a sharp scraping noise as a pursuing fighter clipped the underside of the bus and sheared off one of its own wings and careened into the city below.

When Avvix reached the back of the bus he pulled up and switched directions so he was flying with traffic and into his pursuers. He kicked the accelerator into high gear and exploded forward into a completely unaware fighter, but just before he collided Avvix turned the ship to its side and sliced through the enemy fighter using his Angel's reinforced blade wing design. The enemy ship sputtered hopelessly and burst into a fiery mess of melting and flaming metal.

"Two down, three to go." Avvix cheerfully reported.

"Hold steady Avvix I have one in my sights." Mileas said as she brought the cross hairs over another fighter's cockpit. With a pull of the triggers the fighters cockpit was turned into a twisted ruin of warped and melting metal, and it crashed into the side of the building and exploded in a terrific fireball.

"I got one!" Mileus exclaimed

"I saw that, keep up the good work!" Avvix said in response.

"Avvix I ran into a bit of a problem.." Mileus said.

Suddenly Avvix felt a thumping on the hull of his ship, like footsteps. Avvix decelerated to try and shake whatever it was off of him. To his surprise the hover board riding sniper slid onto the windshield of the Angel. The sniper took out his rifle and aimed it at Avvix, but he didn't get the chance to pull the trigger. Avvix rolled the Angel, breaking the sniper's aim forcing him to run along the rotating hull and jump back onto his hoverboard and retreat to a safer distance.

"Ksssherrt... Identify yourself or be shot down..." the receiver radio crackled.

Avvix activated his headset and connected with the source, "This is Avvix Nia, outbound in a 204 custom celestial guardian, requesting permission to leave the system... as soon as possible."

"Give me a minute to check your credentials... do not break orbit or you will be targeted." the radio said.

one of the two remaining fighters appeared on Avvix's scopes and was coming up from below, Avvix cut the engine power and re angled himself so he was pointing up and punched the engine power. The trailing fighter screamed up from below and met with the intense heat of the Angel's afterburner and started to melt.

"204 Celestial Guardian you have clearance to leave the system... please accelerate to orbital speed and make for jump gate 863..." the radio explained.

"understood, plotting course." Avvix said. He quickly maneuvered to a upward angle and boosted off into orbit causing the melting star fighter's nose to completely melt away and destroy cockpit control and it tumbled down towards its doom on the planet below. The rest of the chasing vehicles gave up and returned to the planets surface, Avvix and Mileus were home free...
