Subject: Landing/First blood Author: The "M" Triplets/Shade [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:08:25 06/03/01 Sun In reply to: Shade, Lucca, etc. 's message, "Operation Wyldcat Strike (Everyone taking part in the mission post here)" on 16:14:59 05/11/01 Fri With the flurry of the orbital bombardment, few noticed the five tiny pods streakign towards the StarFire Complex. As the pod's containing Frieza's small force plummeted through the athmosphere, thrusters slowing their decent. At about 15,000 feet, the three Triplets focused an energy blast into the hulls of their craft, causing them to explode around them, releasing them iinto ththe starlit sky. As they floated safely to the ground using telekinesis, the looke curiously at Frieza and Gohan's pods, which continued to streak towards the goound. Only THEN did they remember that really important message Shade had told them to tell Frieza and Gohan... "WAIT!!...", yelled one of them through her communicator. "...You're supposed to..." "...detonate the pod--" Then there was a pair of huge, thundering impacts as the two armored pods slammed into the ground. Gohan's buried itself about twenty yards away from the Security Barracks--while Frieza's chashed directly through the roof, knocking half the building down. *sweatdrop x 3* "....before impact," they moaned simultaneously. They landed a short distance away and ran over to check on them. Ellis was the first to spot the timeships. "One o'clock low," he flashed to the others. Shade smiled, then mentally cleared his mind for the duel to come. His hands, as usual, sat not on the controls but folded in his lap. What made the YF-21 so dangerous--and expensive--were its exotic Brain Direct Imaging/Brain Direct Control(BDI/BDC) systems. basically, they fed information from the craft's radar, thermograph, external camera array, and other sensors directly into the pilots brain, and allowed the pilot to operate purely by mental comands, resuling in unparalleled responsiveness. All of the '21's carried the same basic ordinance load on this mission: twin disposable rifled gun pods, a pair of foward-firing anti-air lasers, a similar laser covering the fighter's tail, and 48 highly manuverable short-range missles. Most of them also carried some "extras" on the external hardpoints--in the case of Shade and his senior officer, these were six medium-range air-ro-air missles. And since these would have to be fired before the valkirie could transform... On cue, all seven aircraft cleared their hardpoints, released a total of 42 missles, allowing them to fall free and drop below the incoming timeships before their engines ignited, streaking towards their rear. Then Shade and Co. reactivated their engines, lasers stuttering as they dove into the heart of the formation. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: The OTHER Landing Author: Lucca [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:40:01 06/03/01 Sun (OOC: It has come to my attention that I may have put some conflicting iformation about what time it is currently. For the record, this mision os taking place at night--so please disregard any careless refrences I may have made to the contrary :)) Meanwhile the five dropships continued plunging downward, guns occasionally firing at some timeship unlucky enough to wander into their sights but otherwise ignoring the swirling dogfight around them. Soon the city came into view, as did an increasing amount of weapon- and spellfire from the ground. Lucca relaxed a litle as the ship pulled out of its dive and prepared for landing. "We're going straight in--the Psi-Bomb will have taken care of most of the resistance within the building, s it shuldn't be TOO difficult." Ephasis o shouldn't. "While the troops aboard the other ships secure the area around the building itself, we'll clear the ground floor, then start hunting for Victor on the lower levels." "Arr right,we're comin in!" came the call from up front. Seconds later, they could see tall buildings popping up arond them as the nose pitched upward slightly in preparation for landing--in the middle of a major city street. Actually, "landing" may have been to generous a description for the dropship's arrival--it felt more like a controlled crash as the dropship's rear skids made contact with the pavement, sparks flying and metal screamind as the crafts retros fired, stopping it's slide within only 200 feet. Even with their restrainst and the ship';s acceleration absorbers, it felt almost like slaming into a brick wall. As the ships rocked to a stop, they could hear its guns firing and the sound of glas shateing as it fired through the building's main entrance. Seconds later, everyione's restraints popped of as the side doors hissed open. "Everybody out!!" [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
