Atmospheric metal.Atmospheric non-metal.
[15] ["Ye-yes Mother Alphira."] There's a brief discussion. To your satisfaction and amusement, they're arguing over who gets to stay, as opposed to who gets to leave. Even the pilots of the scout ship want to fight and do what they can, but the Commander overrules them. Number Six and the Scout finish their turn, heading east.
[11] You twist a nimbus of fire around you as the hover crafts engage the Levithan's Escort. It turns, great cannons lashing into the sky. Energy splashes into the air sending shockwaves rattling through your bones. You join them, drawing your cutter, amplifying the fire within, until it burns brighter than the sinking sun.
[20 vs. 1+4] Your first strike rips through two of the plague craft that were flying too close to one another, sending them spiraling in a ball of fire. You continue your approach, a comet in the sky. More of the Levithan's shots ring out, but they miss, burning out into the atmosphere above.
[12 vs. 8+4] The pilots are doing as well as expected. Three remain, however, destroying man of the escort with lancing autocannon strikes that shred the infected vehicles with explosives. The fourth of the Crusader attack craft is burning toward the earth.
[15 vs. 3+4] You lash out with your willpower, sending the Infected to their death as you gracefully dodge las-gun blasts. You inch closer to the Levithan.
[11 vs. 10+4] The shockwave of an allied vessel feeds into the turbulence as its shot down -- two remain, all autocannons firing until the barrels glow red. Explosive shells and the associated burning cordite smell fill the air. The flak burns through the air all around, sometimes striking one of the Infected ships.
The Levithan's cannons ring out once more, striking where you were- not where you are.
[9 vs. 17+4] ["Mother Alphira-- forgive us!"] The radio screams out as another of your allies is devoured by las-gun fire, ripping apart in the sky into a ball of burning shrapnel.
You're so close, so close![14 vs. 10+4] You burn through another set of Infected Hover Craft -- las-gun fire rips through your shield from behind, shooting through your wings and narrowly missing your body. An explosion propels you forward-- the last Hovercraft, number three, explodes in the middle of the Infected Hovercraft, destroying the grouping that shot at you.
[18 vs. 4] The Levithan's cannons roar, blasting through the air and the tight grouping of Infected craft. It misses you, and you come to approach it-- willing yourself forward. You try and feel the reactors within-- there's many, and they're too far away for you to do anything. You hover for a split second, uncertain.
[19]
We're a pirate Patches. I'll show you what that cutter blade is for! You fly forward as fast as your agility will alow, dropping down on the top of the Levithan's plated armor. You extend your cutter to its full length, letting the fires blaze forward as you stab it into the organism below you-- the wind whips at you-- and you flinch as your armor cracks on the leg, on the shoulder, on the side of your chest.
[18] You, however, do not falter, carving at the plated flesh of this creature, and with a final sizzle, you rip it open, revealing a cramped, organic passageway within -- you drop down as more las-gun fire tries to scour you off of the Levithan. The sound of clicking emerges from the hallway behind you.
