[center][b][color=ed1c24][i]"God is not on the side of big battalions,[/i][/color] [color=39b54a][i]but on the side of those who shoot best.[/i]"[/color] - [i]Voltaire[/i][/b][/center] [center][h2][b]OVER PLANET ELDRITCH IV UNIVERSE - UNKNOWN[/b][/h2][/center] Alarms blare wildly on both fronts as a major battle was about commence. Resistance spies had managed to located and find the whereabouts of the Reign's base, which was found to be located on the desert world of Eldritch IV. It's there that several of the major leaders of the opposing faction were held up, perhaps planning on a surprise attack of their own, as well as a huge army of various units throughout the Multiverse. If they could win this battle and take out their Executives, then they are simply one step closer into achieving victory and overthrowing the Reign of Chaos. Yet they know that this will be no cakewalk... The army situated below is comprised of a massive array of demons, aliens, and other nasty warriors. They range from the Angels of both the Lumen Sages and units comprised of the DNA from Angels in the [i]Evangelion[/i] Universe, to the might of the alien factions such as the Imperial Empire and the vicious Space Pirates, including an up and operational mecha robot force, as well as other factions from elsewhere. The base is located and built right within a cliff, guarded by massive cannons and turrets, and with massive cruisers ready to launch from the ground. They were already alerted by the Resistance's hyperspace route to this system just over an hour ago and were beginning to mount a massive defense force against them. Whoever wins this battle, will most certainly turn the tide of the war and get the upper hand. Weather its for the greater good... or for the greater evil... [hr] [center][h2][b]The Resistance[/b][/h2][/center] The Resistance fleet has just came out of hyperspace, formed up by different capital ships, cruisers, frigates, and starships of different universes. From within the Mon Calamari capital ship, Home One, a klaxxon alarm blares loudly soldiers and pilots of the New Republic began scrambling to their fighters and transports, all preparing to go down the planet's surface. Ships began to take off, some escorting the transport ships, those being the LAAT gunships and the much larger GR-75 medium transport ships. Onboard one of the gunships, a female figure draped in white priest-like clothing, stands motionlessly as she appears to be praying to something. Her murmurs cannot be heard thoughtfully as the sound of the gunship begins to enter the atmosphere of the planet. Just then, she hears several rapid clicks coming from her left robe. Slowly she reached in and takes out a comn-link. Once activated, it reveals a holographic figure, which reveals to be the leader of the Resistance, General Leia Organa. [i]"Bayonetta,"[/i] she says, revealing the name of the white robed woman, [i]"Looks like you made it here with the fleet. I was afraid that you wouldn't make it to the battle."[/i] [b]"And why wouldn't I?"[/b] answers Bayonetta with a small smirk, [b]"I told you that the little mission I had would be done quickly. After all, I would never have the heart to miss such a battle like this."[/b] [i]"Very funny,"[/i] Leia sarcastically replies, [i]"Either way, I do believe this is your first commando assignment assigned in the field of battle ever since the invasion of your home universe?"[/i] [b]"Indeed. I've ever since been itching for another one of these operations."[/b] [i]"Right. Anyways, you remember the mission you were briefed back at Yavin IV correct?"[/i] [b]"I believe so. You want me to head into their base and take out their head executive?"[/b] [i]"Not take out, but to capture him. If Shinnok is captured, we can get information that can turn the tide of the war. Once we know where Nyx is, we can assemble a fleet and go after her."[/i] [b]"Awww, well that's no fun. I wanted to save him so I can introduce him to Pillow Talk. It hasn't been used in awhile."[/b] [i]"The gunship will land as close to the base as possible. Once your on the ground, you will make your way to the base through the back, which is the least defended part of the base. You'll be able to sneak up on the commander's lounge and you'll be able to take him off guard. Once you capture him, report back to me and I'll send a squad to pick you both up. Understood?"[/i] [b]"Yes mam'."[/b] [i]"Good luck Bayonetta."[/i] And with that, the comnlink phases out. By that time, the gunships had already entered the atmosphere and were already heading into the field of battle. Transports were already landing nearby as troops and artillery began to hustle towards the base. At the same time, the base already began to send troops of its own and so the battle begins. Several Gunships, including the one Bayonetta is on, continue to fly towards the enemy base and over the first wave of troops. Explosions rattled the air and sand as both forces clashed with one another. [hr] [center][h2][b]The Reign Of Chaos[/b][/h2][/center] Meanwhile, from within the depths of the base, Shinnok watches the battle from the command center, where he sees the battle unfolding from the large hologram that represents the map of the battlefield. He was impressed that the Resistance was making the bold move to try and attack one of the largest bases the Reign owns. He figures why they were attacking this particular spot however. It wasn't just to strike back, but also to capture he himself, for they think that they can get some answers from a fallen elder god. This entire charade just simply amused him. Regardless on whoever would win, Shinnok will not be captured to a bunch of these inconsiderate a foolish rebels. As he continues watching, the Space Pirate general, Ridley, was also nearby. "Those Resistance fools think they can demolish one of the biggest strongholds of the Reign?" the Space Dragon hisses, "Ha! I laugh in their face for such a pathetic attempt!" [b]"Don't simply underestimate them."[/b] Shinnok simply replies as he continues watching, [b]"They may be mostly comprised of mere mortals, but they are gaining powerful allies. It's a shame that they are joining on the loosing side, but alas they too will fall as well."[/b] "And suppose they'll actually win this battle." Ridley then says, "What will happen then?" [b]"They'll win nothing."[/b] the elder god answers bluntly, [b]"Even if they take out all the forces here and take over the planet, it will be worth nothing in the end. They're after me you know, Ridley, I have information on the whereabouts of our actual base is, as well as the leader herself."[/b] "You seem worried about that. Even being called an Elder GOD?" [b]"Worried? Pfft, not in the slightest. Only fools worry about their position. Even if the Resistance takes over this base, they'll certainly not be catching me. They're going to have to try harder in order to catch me, waste their resources and soldiers, and leaving themselves vulnerable to us."[/b] A small pause filled the room as Ridley growls in agreement. "Should I head into battle and command the Space Pirates?" he asks. [b]"Not yet."[/b] Shinnok answers, [b]"You are to remain here in the base and keep an eye out for any intruders. I have a feeling that they'll be coming here shortly..."[/b] [hr] [center][h2][b]Bayonetta[/b][/h2][/center] [i]"This is far as I can go."[/i] announces a pilot as he lands the gunship in the battlefield, [i]"Any further and their guns would hit us."[/i] [b]"You've done well enough."[/b] the Umbra Witch replies, [b]"Head back behind friendly lines. Your not needed here any longer."[/b] [i]"Yes mam'."[/i] As the gunship takes off, Bayonetta then shreds her priest costume off her body as she fits herself in clothing that is much more her style. Her hair forms the clothing around her body as she prepares to do battle with the enemies at hand! Stormtroopers rapidly approach her, along with the Lumen Sage Angels. It was time for the real battle to begin!
