Labyrinth: Hero's call

Black and Silver

Eiyu inspects his armor, being certain it will stand up to the vigors of a free fire with knights of Avonard. Shifting piece by piece, tightening the kevlar laces, going over the cuts and dents.

"You should get those taken care of, sir." a go-kenin states. "It's not very professional to have damaged armor."

"Hm. You see damage, I see a painted canvas. This armor started sleek and smooth, a blank canvas... The battlefield is the base and combat is the brush."

"That's... A very optimistic way to think. And rather unexpected."

The transport met an abrupt halt as it entered the border of the unclaimed sector. Silence filled the cabin before an alarm went off. The samurai buckled in and prepared for heavy impact, instead they were pulled into the enemy frigate.

"Sir, they're dragging in for close quarters!"

"Of course they are, the knights were never good at anything else"

"Weren't we also cavalry?"

"Yes. But we were mainly archers. Pilot, open the door. It would be rude to keep them waiting"

"Sir, how are you goi-"

"We're in space where there's no gravity. I'll find a way"

He uses the door as leverage to push himself toward the frigate, Finding a chute for EVA mechanics and crawled through into the corridor. Realizing he had no explosives and was short on time, he needed to think of a way to bring down the ship.

Eiyu inspects the pipework as the knights are preoccupied with the the enclosing transport to their drydock and leaves a slight cut in the fuel line. Making his way to the other end of the corridor, he finds the electrical line and cuts it, leaving plenty of time for the gas to reach the Sparks so he can escape.

On his way back to the transport he's met with a heavily armored guard. Knowing he wouldn't be able to cut through the guard's armor, he played for time, Blocking and dodging attacks. The sound caught the attention of the other knights who rushed to the fight. Eiyu managed to align himself in front of the drydock, the knights forming a shield wall and closing in.

As the Sparks meet the gas, the corridor erupts and the knights closing in on Eiyu are killed while their Shields kept him in one piece as he jumps toward the transport. The door closes as he enters and the frigate, having just lost it's Central structure, is torn apart.

The samurai stare in awe as Eiyu takes his seat. "let's just be glad he's on our side" one states as the transport starts back on it's original path.
