Onboard the Xuanzang’s Bridge. Narvia watched as Finbarr opened his portal to the enemy starship, which was a bit pretty. She did somewhat get a laugh at the joke that Finbarr made, which was something. However, she was still angry at the entire thing for using banned weaponry against starships. Narvia had two interruptions, which were one from Ariel and the other from no other than Tarak.
” O-Oh, sorry, Tarak… W-Wait, their leader is Elaine Solarie Jensen?!” Narvia confusingly spoke towards Ariel. On top of them, waiting for them sounded like the element of surprise was not going to be a thing. However, she heard from her godfather Nikolas that the Vixen Death Squad was the most dangerous unit in the entire Ascendancy Military. It was primarily because of how Elaine conducted herself compared to her older brother Berkeley.
In essence, it caused her to be very afraid in the back of her mind, but she had to take what Tarak had said to the heart, or she’ll die in this operation. However, Abaddon, Tarak, and Nero went through the portal first, which would be a good idea for her to go through. It would be better for Finbarr to be last, through the portal.
” T-Thank you for the good luck, Ariel; hopefully, my demons will be over soon.” Narvia spoke with a bit of self-confidence and hopefulness. Therefore, she went through the portal to be on the other end, and what she saw was a complete convoluted mess of strange engineering. It was mostly because the Dragon’s Claw was much more refined in its design compared to Akriem’s Razor.

Onboard the Akriem’s Razor Bridge. It was much more spacious than it first seems for a Heavy Cruiser Bridge, which had multiple layers of levels type of stairs. Therefore, it meant a distinction of a complexity and perfectionist type of way that German War Machines usually had in their craft. The lowest part of the ship was no other than closest to the view screen and windows surrounding it, which the portal that Finbarr made manifest on the Akriem’s Razor Bridge. However, in the next part, the Navigation panels and the track towards where the Captain’s Chair is at, Elaine S. Jensen is sitting, with a smirk on her face since she was correct to become a part of a battlefield. As such, the Erudite Guard is above Elaine by one step, nearest to the Bridge’s exit.
” Awh, Excellent it is the Star Marines finally, some well-timed welcoming to the Vixen’s Den.” Elaine spoke with her licking her lips. It would mean that sweet little Narvia will be coming through that portal to help herself be free of her demons.
The Erudite Guard knew who to suspect from that portal, which appeared nearest to the viewing screen and windows.
Spacetime Breacher,
Hunter Wolf, and a few of his friends most likely, including the
Innocence. However, what came out first didn’t phase them, which was the
Kinslayer. They did fight the Kaisoken previously and knew that some of the race would evolve to be more human-like crystals. The next person to come through the portal was Tarak, which held the Angel’s Lyre Assault Rifle. In all likelihood, Tarak would fire off some of his stun grenades. Fritz was thrilled for battle, which he had always wanted no matter what, and he was going to enjoy every minute of it.
” How wonderful, Hunter Wolf always leading his little brothers and sisters to victory. I want to bleed you and your little friends dry of their blood; Oriya hungers for it. Especially the little short girl in your group, Codename: Innocence, the idiotic goddaughter of the Dragon. As well, it’s always good to know your enemies.” Fritz said, wanting to bleed them all dry. He was obsessed with combat, which is why he had combat prowess with his plasma scythe.
Afterward, the stun grenades went off, and two more people entered through the portal that
Spacetime Breacher made, which were Nero and Narvia.
” O-Oh god, why does this place look like a convoluted mess of a design?” She questioned cutely. Therefore, Narvia helped the Erudite Guard and Elaine hear her, but they were stunned by the grenades that exploded.
” Awh, you want to know our design, its German Engineering at its finest. Also, it’s nice to hear your innocent little voice again. I must say, you are an idiot, Navi; trying to rid yourself of your demons is going to take much more than killing the little sister of the one that traumatized you. But, I wouldn’t want this any other way.” Elaine spoke hopefully of shaking Narvia’s resolve, which would make it easier for her guard to kill Narvia. She was trying to provoke Narvia into doing something foolish, which she is nothing to the Dragon’s Skills nor resolve. In terms, Elaine laughed, but then the shock of the shields being hit by fighters from Alexander Kherol’s Fleet annoyed her slightly. Though Elaine wasn’t a stupid person since the gunfire from Tarak knew how to kill people, he is the oldest and knew how to fight, which she decided to move from her seat and hide behind her chair while getting her laser rifle. If she were delayed any further, she would’ve been shot in the chest, then the head.
” I almost forgot… the only other person that would be stupid enough for this mission in the Star Marines would be the Silent Assassin, Nero. Unlike my brother, I actually researched with Philip’s immense intelligence and knowledge. I wonder what Nikolas’ would say? Oh yeah, Better to be prepared over not to be, must always know the weakness of your enemies or you are fated to die.” Elaine spoke with a solid understanding of Nikolas’ Pragmatic and Idealistic Behavior. It was a definite funny saying, but it makes absolute sense in this situation.
In terms, Narvia couldn’t help but shiver in fear at the two things that Elaine had said both times. It did crack her resolve, but she would try not to fall for her death. Therefore, Narvia had to respond with what Elaine had said but was trying to make the most sense in making someone on the opposite side, helpless. She looked at the four men in the back, carrying terrifying weapons, but the most significant threat would be the plasma thrower. Therefore, Narvia looked directly at the Plasma Thrower guy and said,
” I do hope you have a fun time… with no more Gravity!” Narvia exclaimed towards the Plasma Thrower guy. The magic activated right underneath Tobias, which slowly lifted off the ground. Narvia was grateful her magic was useful for helping get rid of a massive danger, like a Plasma Thrower.
” A-Also, you don’t scare me, E-Elaine…” She spoke and tried with some resolve, but it was a bit hard not to notice she was stuttering.
Finbarr was the last one that came out of the portal, jumping into the bridge with one of his plasma blades already ignited in anticipation for battle. His free hand was glowing an iridescent yellow and gold; a telltale sign that his Energy Blast was already being prepared. The portal closed behind him as the fighting commenced; he wasn't there to see the detonation of the stun grenades, nor did he happen to hear the ensuing conversation between Narvia and Elaine.
Finbarr's first words in the bridge were of heinous make, directed towards their enemies in there.
"Scarlet for your mothers for having ya eejits.", he growled as he sheathed his plasma sword and fired a pair of golden beams towards the man that Narvia had suspended in the air with her anti-gravity magic. They were hot, and they would hurt.
When Nero arrived, he immediately noticed...this place didn't look too much like a bridge. There's having a two-level bridge like in Star Wars, and then there's
this mess. You'd have to be climbing all over the place, just to be getting anywhere. Not that that was a problem to Nero, but
good god, the people in here had to be either exhausted or in the best shape of their lives! Up the stairs and waiting to fight as they waltzed in through the anomaly were four soldiers and - in her chair - the mouthy Jensen bitch, who decided to
blah blah blah 'Look how smart I am, 'cause I read a
file'. Nero actually chuckled at the monikker leveled at him when he was mentioned. They couldn't see it behind his mask, but you could clearly tell he was in a mocking mood because of that.
"Oh yeah, that's me. The quiet killer, the silent sociopath. Not one peep out of me 'till the job is done."He then gestured to the portal where the rest of their team had surely manifested.
"And hey, lookit that! Abaddon the Bake-Saler! He makes lemon bars in frilly aprons!"The point of this was that the Captain really didn't know anything about her opponents. People assumed that Nero was this silent killer because barely anyone was around that could verify how he operated, what his personality was like, and so on. And as for Abaddon, well... They knew that he was the Kin-Slayer, but Nero felt a bit of the truth spoken in a laughable manner would make these five pains in the ass feel stupid. Anyway, all the events going on as they were, Fin had decided to attack the man that Narvia was floating about. Nero saw this as an opportunity, as well. The man had an exposed neck. So, Tobias would
also have a swift Monomolecular blade coming for his throat...as would
Philip, who
also exposed himself. Nero made it look like he was going to throw both at Tobias, but then one actually went
his way. Swift and dangerous.
That was Nero.
Abaddon was ready for some carnage mixed with late 1900's heavy metal. Instead he literally hears them start monologuing. It was shocking in fact, so shocking that he honestly just stood there and let them continue. But nevertheless the time both him and his allies spent talking gave him time to properly assess what they were going against. Abaddon was quick to notice the plasma scythe.
The accentuated edges, the blackened metal, and to top it off the skull on the bottom. They were perfect. A perfect signal for countless forms of childhood trauma. My god, it could be the cover page for how to spot damaged goods! Jokes aside, I should worry if he gets close to the kids. He moves on to look at the other ones.
Alright then, she has a gun. He has a gun, and he has a… A FLAMETHROWER! Let's kill him first. Once the fight truly started, Abaddon was a little slow on the draw this time around. But he was happy to see a sufficient amount of pressure was being put on the heavy flame. So he turned his attention to the scythe wielder.
It's been awhile since I have been engaged in martial combat. Hopefully I'll get some fun before the kids come on and spoil it. Abaddon leaned his body forward and launched himself at the scythe wielder. Doing a preemptive sonic slash as he gets close.
Tarak hates monologues. Honestly, he really didn't care what they had to say, he just wanted them dead. He fired his entire magazine within a short time frame as he backed some of them into some corners. Hell, he was upset that they thought they could monologue. He started moving around to one of the walls as he angles himself with the plasma throwing asshat. He witnessed both Nero and Finbarr going for him. Tarak thought it'd be a waste for him to also go for him, so Tarak decided to use Narvia's anti gravity well to try and do some trick shots.
Tarak quickly did some math and made an input for his grenade launcher to detonate his grenade after 3 seconds. He then quickly aimed at the ceiling as he fired the grenade to bounce off of it and lose a good bit of its kinetic energy as it fell into the anti gravity well. He plans on bouncing it off of the man and getting thrown out and finally falling underneath Marvin, the grinning fool with the Heavy Plasma Rifle, as the grenade would then explode when it lands and release a cloud of white phosphorus. Tarak hoped Marvin liked the feeling of burning from the inside out, because that was the exact plan.
In terms of everything, the battle of the Razor was going poorly for the Erudite Guard and Elaine, which had home field advantage. It was like for all the research, intelligence and thought of what the
Star Marines would do was good information. Elaine had learned the only thing for them to do is fight the Star Marines and the Kinslayer separately. Since in a group their combined magical powers and techniques would overwhelm them and kill them. Elaine shouldn’t have been stupid in not taking this threat as seriously as possible, all she wanted to do was kill Narvia and have a laugh at taking the Dragon’s Goddaughter.
Tobias, on the other hand, really had a very low chance in surviving this since he had three problems right now. He was a bit crazy and always had a lack of care for certain things, which included his bones. Therefore, he remembered that the Gravity Disable Spell allowed him to move in it.
Good lord, never thought the little girl would use that spell on me of all people. Smart child. Even though she's still a scared little girl still. Looks like all our research only got one of the Star Marines on point. He thought with a sigh. It was like a big eye opening experience to never monologue during a battle, which Fritz and Elaine definitely did. However, the person who saved him from at least the Gravity Disable was no other than Philip.
Narvia was shaken to her core with what happened and had no real idea why anyone would do that, but with how the Vixen Death Squad is. They are a tight knit group of expert genocidal maniacs, which don’t have a heart that only cares for the deaths of their enemies.
”U-Uhhh, seriously? Never thought genocidal maniacs had a heart...” Narvia said, with a quite terrified look on her face. These monsters actually protect each other, which is one of the strangest things she had ever seen. However, she still wanted the Plasma Thrower dead, because plasma flame wouldn’t be a good idea to die by. She kept her Gravity Disable up since it was still active, but then she took out a pistol and fired at the
Vixen herself to show she’s not afraid of her. To keep the pressure on Elaine at least, which would be better.
Philip laughed slightly, at his predicament a bit crazy of a thing to do but he smiled at what he did since Tobias is the ace in the hole for his group.
”Is this the first time you’ve actually fought in a battle, Narvia? Always the sheltered little girl, it seems. I do this for my compatriots like you would do the same for one of your friends in the Star Marines.” Philip replied to Narvia with a smile. However, what happened next was unmistakable was the Plasma Sword from Finbarr and his golden beams hitting his back. In terms of the well calculated throws by Nero to hit him and his ally Tobias, which one of them would actually miss since he’s no longer in the same place as he used to be. However, the one that was aimed at Tobias did hit him instead, which hurt but like he was going to allow himself to die. He turned around with the blade and knife in his back and raised his shoulders up and fired a suppression volley in the direction of where most of the Star Marines were at.
”Might as well, Commander, I think it's time for Plan B, Divide and Conquer. I do wonder if any of those idiots get a well deserved death.” Philip said towards Elaine.
Narvia decided to move quickly to the Navigation panels since there was plasma rifle fire coming from Philip. It was a bit much more hectic, which scared her but she had to wonder what Divide and Conquer was about, probably means they will have to fight one on one with the enemy. She continued to fire at Elaine’s position, which was at her captain seat.
Elaine could definitely hear Philip’s voice, which was strained by the fact he was injured but still able to fight. As such, it didn’t help that Narvia was still trying to shoot at her even with the suppression fire of Philip, but he was injured and the suppression fire wasn’t that good, nonetheless. It sounded like the best idea for a new strategy since she didn’t have every single little detail about the Star Marines like she wanted. Elaine knew this would be a tough fight, but misrepresenting them.
”Tobias, everyone you know what to do, initiate plan B. God damn, shouldn’t have given a monologue since it seems like one of your number hates it. But whatever.” Elaine spoke with a slight annoyed tone but still thinks she is in control. It did help she could see now, which would make plan b much better. However, Fritz was in direct combat with no other than Abaddon.
Fritz laughed hysterically when he entered martial combat with the Kinslayer. The Plasma Scythe sang and glowed, when it struck against the Kinslayer’s Blade. Fritz had always been one of the more crazier combatants in the Erudite Guard during his fighting in close up, he takes glee in slicing up his opponents. However, this time the opponent was no other than Abaddon.
”Affirmative, Elaine. We will help ourselves to your plans.” Fritz said, a bit worried about Philip since he was always the smart one.
Marvin heard the activation of plan B, however, another thing was a problem, a Prosperous Grenade exploded right underneath him. It fucking hurt, but he had enough willpower in him to withstand the pain of what happened to him.
”You are going to pay for that, bastard Hunter Wolf.” Marvin angrily spoke towards Tarak. As such, his gear was burning quite quickly, which didn’t help that the one that does the medic stuff was a crazed lunatic fighting with the Kinslayer.
