The Xuna II and the Froa come out of FTL and deployed their fleet of 200 frigates, the Nagant class frigates among them further deployed their cannon funnels. In concert, these vessel and automated weapons covered the whole asteroid field. Firing on any sign of life. They were here to take this place as their own. Any ship here was to be destroyed, anything alive was to be eliminated.

Just outside the system, The La Plas II stood ready, to fire its FTL slug on any ship brave enough to show itself. A weapon made for planet glassing... would tear most any ship into pieces.

Almost immediately, the enemy would notice that their long-range transmission systems were entirely jammed. If things got bad for them, they'd have no way to call for help. However, short-range comma systems were strangely unaffected.
And, of course, these Pirates wouldn't just give up, after all.
First things to happen was the deployment of Wolf Pack Rabid-extremely agile ships that moved fast enough to prevent a opponent from getting a easy lock. Really, the same could be said for all of the Wolf Pack's ships, its just the Rabids are the fast-est of them due to reduced armoring(though the sport respectable shielding technology). Lightly armed against shield technology, having just plasma turrets, but extremely effective against enemy hulls due to their beam-cannon. Around 80 of these corvettes went after the new ships. Next would come the Cannonades and Battering frigates, with four Cannonades attached to the sides of each Battering Frigate, in order to pool their collective engine power for pure straightaway speed. . .Directly at the enemy frigates. At the last second, the Cannonades break off, launching the larger Battering frigates at the enemy, smashing into them with their own powerful offensive shield tech. After the initial impact, they immediately attempted to flee, flying in reverse as their main cannon blasts at the enemy ships. Meanwhile the cannonades themselves kept darting around at ridiculous speeds while firing at the enemy ships with four laser flak cannons per Cannonade at the invading ships, this setting designed specifically to shred through shields. All in all, that was around 50 individual Battering frigates and four Cannonades per Battering.

During all this, Jarrek was running through the actual base, to the Command Room. Once he got there, he initiated a Full Alert protocall, to get EVERYONE battle-ready. As well, over the PA, he yelled,"CORVIC, RYCHART, ATLAS! ALL LORDS, TO THE COMMAND CENTER NOW! WE'VE GOT VISITORS!"

Backing up the wolves, the Zealot ships, excluding their ISAF Cruiser. Back on the station, Rychart burst into his office like a soldier ready for action.

"You seeing this?!?!" he asks as he throws down a holopad with the enemy's blips on it. "Some one has sent out a fucking death squad for us!" Rychart exclaimed in an uproar.

EDIT: Changed wolfs to wolves.

Will Atlas, even though he had not officially retired from the pirates yet ran to the area and ordered all of his pirates to deploy. New Frigates armed with stolen muramasa beams and membrane phase torpedoes, about 50 of these would deploy to attack the enemy. Laser cannons on the base would also be engaged and open fire at the enemy ships. Two Capital ships would also deploy and bombard the enemy ships with missiles and lasers. An AT, AP, and AST along with AHS would be raised in the entire area preventing the people on the other side from teleporting in reinforcements. It would stop them from bailing for now unfortunately?but this was a vital evil. The frigates were not all that would be deployed however as Will put his ID card into a slot in the command center and took over remote control over some of the ships of his own control and engaged a special implement that he had programmed into them. This was the dreaded ship to mech conversion capability that the Zardok ships normally had, but he had rigged this into his own ships. Once in mech form, energy scythes would be swung and hails of energy bullets would be unleashed upon the enemy ships along with salvoes of membrane phase and other weapons. The pirates would fight back and would not yield no matter what against this new enemy.

Will took one look at the scene unfurling and then at Rychart with a steely gaze. "I believe this group of intruders seems to wish to conquer us. Or wipe us out. Either way, all hands on deck." When Will would say those words his voice would resound throughout the entire base and all his pirates would drop what they were doing, rush around, grab weapons and rush to him.

Outside the station but not in a ship, both Aislin and Erath's eyebrows arose as they blinked at what was going on. The two friends had lost their ship, their crew, and their whole race in the last couple of years, and such they had been stranded on this base since. Whoever said Gryphons were loyal? Obviously not anymore. Not since Talon had become leader, anyways.

Aislin uncurled her wings as she sighed and awaited yet another battle to go by. This was all Erath's fault. If they hadn't have become pirates in the first place, their race wouldn't have abandoned them and they wouldn't have been stranded at the Pirate base.

Of course, at the same time, Erath was thinking the same thing as Aislin, she just hid it better. "First we get stranded now we're attacked. What's next?" Erath's catlike ears perked up as she grinned at Aisline who promptly turned her head and ignored her friend.

(Pirates for hire!)

Matter-Energy Rejection fields of the Xuna II and the Froa destroyed any and all attacks on the two super-capitals within firing range. The Xuna's Nagants and Zunals used fold-warp to dodge around and out of the way of attacks, firing on all the vessels that had showed themselves. Two nagants were lost in the initial fight, their crew folded out. Their cannon funnels put under command of other nagants, the funnels were bombarding any ships in the system, and destroying Zadok joints.

The Xuna II and the Froa fired their MDD, this weapon would destroy the whole of the asteroid field quite quickly. You see, if these were planets it would just damage them, but since its a bunch of asteroids nothing would escape the MDD's wrath. Even ships should be heavily damaged from this weapon. The two super-capitals also fired their Zero-point phasers, on everything attacking them directly.

The La Plas was not in direct fire. However, its FTL Frigate slugs were being fired at priorties targets in the system. In this case the ships that had made themselves known.

The captain of the Xuna II received a report, that their sensors indicted two individual life-signs that were not moving to acting the battle. So, he fold-warped them into a conference room. Thinking them to be spies of authorities of some type.

1/2 posts til MDD wipes all asteroids.

The Corvic shipsquicklyresponded by pulling up the energy and particle shields that were based in the various asteroid based, sending uplarge shields over he base asteroid and the space that seperated the enemy ships from theirs. In due course, the super capitols and capitol ships leant strength to the shield systems as Lady Corvis herself appeared behind Jarrik, calm, grim and utterly furious beneath her icy demeanor.

The MDD field went through the shields. It was merely a field, and it permeated the asteroid field.

Still 1/2 posts til belt destruction.

Ooc- gotcha. I was mistaken. Sorry.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:28:27 AM »

OOC:Either way, though, since when do Fields permeate through Shields? I mean, the purpose of a Shield is to keep things out, physical or energy or whatever otherwise, and a Field itself is still a field of something, after all...>>

"They ain' fooling around, are they? Most fleets up an' run when our combined fleets come our to play and don't have the numbers to match...Either they're a bunch've dumbasses or they got somethin' real unfriendly hooked up to that junk over there." Jarrek said, looking around the group. "What would you all say is a good plan of action?"

The Wolf Pack frigates suffered few losses, due to their manic speed. As they darted around in their dogfights, a few more ships came out, these being the Wolf-Class Frigates. Heavily armored, even for a Frigate, these would serve as the guard vessels for the Capital Ships and the base itself. Their weapons weren't anything to scoff at either, but they would mostly be there to hold the line, in any case, alongside the allied vessels.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:07:38 AM »

"No they arent..." Rychart agreed. "I say that we continue to keep their frigates busy. We carpet the Capitals with our fighters and corvettes, and then we let the Cruisers finish them off." Rychart pointed at several locations on the field's map. "The Clubbed to Death will standby at Staging point Tango. Once their shields go down, we'll fire our Pulse Canoons, and take out their engines. After that, we storm the ship." Rychart concluded.

Outside, the Zealot ships continued to back up the wolf pack ships. Their battlemages set up a barrier about half way out to the enemy ships, which would stop that part from being destroyed. The Zealot's overshields would take the damage from their fire.

Back inside that station, the Clubbed to Death prepared for launch, and awaited Rychart.

Capxeno · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:03:12 AM »

OOC: Shields do not prevent AM fields, so I see no reason for this field to be different. one prevents existence from being converted, one prevents ionic bonding. If anything, the shields would go boom two extending the range of the MDD. The main reason this weapon is working so well is the number of ships and the fact its a asteroid belt, each asteroid blown to bits makes the field go further.

2/2 posts til asteroid field destruction

A few of the uninhabited asteroids disintegrated into a explosion of formless dust, the field was not traveling in a strait line nor was it abated by the magic fields. The MDD's field expanded itself in a near unabated as if it were an out of control wild fire. The field would hit hard all enemy frigate, corvettes and damaged any class above that. All non-inhabited asteroids were a complete loss, and any stations or bases would be at very least severely damaged.

The Zealot overshields were to the MDD their biggest weakness, unprotected from it, they would be heavily damaged if not out right destroyed. The fleet was blockaded by the frigates. The nagants kept to cat and mouse maneuvers designed to keep their opponent distracted but without a direct shot. The Zunals would fire their zero-point phasers and fold completely other target, so far causing massive amount of fire on the enemy without a single Zunal loss, these Zunals would sow massive confusion in the ranks of the enemy ships.

The Xuna II and the Froa kept a safe distance from the fighting, yet just close enough to rain hell of their numerous zero-point phasers and MDD field generators on the enemy fleet, any direct attack would be lost to the Mater-Energy Rejection fields, passing over them harmlessly. Fresh for combat these fields would remain up for a goodly amount of time to come.

The Las Plas II was bombarding the location Clubbed to Death with its Frigate FTL Slug cannon. This weapon fired frigate sized round into the target at speed way beyond the speed of light, this left no time for warning, no time for anything truly powerful enough to stop the round, and would cause at very least crippling damage to anything it hit. The Clubbed to Death chances for survival are at best slim.

The enemy fleet made a fatal mistake, in their rush to engage the frigates and try to get at the capitals. They never noticed of forgot the Nagant autonomous cannon funnels. These were both numerous and subtle, better yet, deadly. They surrounded the ships headed for the Xuna II and the Froa, and would stop them dead in their tracks bombarded from all directions.

The Auudi II and the Puma arrived, sent to the system the very moment communications was cut. They took position next to the Las Plas II. The Puma deploying its fleet of frigate via fold. The frigates took a position of defense for the three Super Capitals that held the rear line well away from the fight. The Auudi joined the Las Plas II in Frigate FTL Slug cannon bombardment, the Clubbed to Death's chances just decreased that much more.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:41:57 AM »

Ooc- You're aware that the Clubbed to Death isn't in combat right? It's still in the hangar waiting for Rychart.

OOC: More than enough for the MDD, its only two posts for the chance to defend, which all of you failed. Its mass and the fact its broken up into asteroids means that its range and speed is greatly increased. Goodbye Belt.

The barrier that the mages had set up blocked the slugs from hitting the station. The Zealot ships continued to engage the enemy at a ferocious pace.

Back on the station, Rychart is still observing the battle, and frowns. "Didnt think that id have to do this..." he mumbles. "Vice Admiral Rychart to the Clubbed. How copy?"

"Sir, this is the Clubbed to Death! They're attempting to fire on the hangar!" They call back.

"Captain, activate the beacon..." he order.

"Yes sir." came the Captain's response. The Captain walked over to a command console and pushed the emergency ISAF beacon. It would alert the nearest ISAF assets (or anything that would pick up its signal).

<<<...Beacon Activated...>>>
<<<IFF Confirmed- ISAF, 7 EDF, Cruiser, Clubbed to Death.... Tier 1 Asset.>>>
<<<Beacon received.>>>
<<<IFF Confirmed- Outer Colonies Contingent, RZG-Class AI, v. [UNKNOWN] [CLASSIFIED: RAMPANT. Codenamed: DELTA. Serial Number- 000000000000000001.>>>
<<Dispatching>>
<Done>

Immediately behind the attacking ships, were one of the DAIS' combined fleets. Immediately after seeing the enemy, they proceeded to prioritize the targets, and open fire with anti-ship batteries for the smaller ships, and FTL Pulse and Guass rounds for the larger ones.

Rychart looks out in amazement of the newly arrived fleet. "That is not an ISAF Fleet..." he says with a slight sense of horror in his voice.

Capxeno · « **Reply #21 on:** January 26, 2012, 01:17:43 PM »

OOC: Stopping frigate sized round moving FTL with NPC magic barriers? Actually, if you want to go that route. Three day rule on everyone but Lyoko.

The mages on the Froa ripped holes in the barriers, it allowed the rounds to hit. Only one of the thirteen FTL slug were stopped by the barriers, the rest hit hanger. However, even then had they stopped them it wouldn't have helped much. the MDD had damaged the hanger to the point it couldn't launch a fly, much less a ship like the Clubbed to Death. It was dead in the water.

The DIAS fleet came in behind the first formation, the second formation however, was still well away from the battle. Thus, it hit the DIAS fleet hard from behind trap them in a swarm of frigates and cannon funnels. Speaking of cannon funnels, not a single enemy had tried to engage the cannon funnels. The Zealot fleet was still stopped in its tracks by the sheer field of cannon funnels that barraged them, the Zealot fleet would at very least sustain heavy losses for this mistake.

The wolf packs were routed, and not a single Wolf-class survived its dog-fights with Zunals. The Corvis bases would be dust to the MDD, and not a sole survivor of Will Atlas' ships survived the MDD. The Wayword Fleet had skillfully wiped out a majority of the fleet leaving only damaged Zealots and the DIAS fleet, and both were pinned in a barraged of death.

A number of Nagants were lost, their cannon funnels put under the command of surviving Nagants, and yet still not a single Zunal was lost. The enemy couldn't engage an opponent the first once and disappeared to attack someone else.

Aislin and Erath would find themselves on one of the Wayword ships, a conference room.

Two powerful magics appeared in the system, one in the DIAS fleet and one at the Hangar. A Web of blood fire hit the DIAS fleet, from the inside of the ship, it burned away at the haul of the ships, and would like at its controllers. It would also burn the structure into a strange metallic fire. The odd part, was that there is spirit energy encapsulating the spells.

The second hit the hangar, and it was a strange living fire the burned as if with a life of its own, the fire generated metallic fire like the other spell as it hit metal of the station, however if it burned at biological people or animals, it caused a rapid growth in the fire. This strange new fire... was Bio-Fire.

The state of affairs, many lost ships, the asteroid field 99% gone, a pinned DIAS fleet, pinned Zealots, and magic of no known source hitting the enemy with impunity.

OOC: Red, Zak, and Hawks fleets are lost

The Lady Raven, knowing defeat was at hand, teleported away, to a secret location on the far side of the universe to ponder revenge - until she realized her good friend Jarrik was unable to do the same so she promptly teleported back, took him by the hand and duo teleported away.

Zero · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:43:38 PM »

Will Atlas would quickly teleport away with the pirates loyal to him once the AT Field around the area had been dropped. This had been a monumental loss and would take some fixing if they were to remedy this problem. But he had teleported to a pocket dimension and put his crew there. Once they were safely stowed away he reappeared inside the base and groaned. Time to wipe out all these enemies at once. So he concentrated and a massive portal opened and out of it came a huge laser that more than likely would overwhelm the shields of the Marid and blow them and their vehicles to kingdom come. It caused him to slump to one knee due to sheer exhaustion from using such a powerful attack however.

Capxeno · « **Reply #24 on:** January 26, 2012, 07:57:46 PM »

Will Atlas made a grave mistake, he had teleported back into the fray without realizing where he teleported was already over came with Bio-Fire. He would have very little chance of escaping an inferno that he appeared right in the cusp of. Also, his men had turned off the AT. However they did not have time to turn off the AP, and AST along with AHS. No portal could be, he had wasted a large amount of magic on nothing. Foolish indeed. Because even if his "lazer" had hit, the smaller ships could dodge it, and the Super-Capitals could stand still and with their Matter-Energy rejection fields dissipate all of it.

However, should his attack still open up, a Folded field of space in front of the portal would redirect it to the DIAS fleet.

OOC: I love details.
