As Desdemonia moved to escort High Admiral Reggero, she kept her line secure. "I was granted the ability to release the information from Colonel Rioden. Gallias is currently enroute if not already engaged in battle with Calliope in the Aeternum Quadrant. His actions prior to request an expeditionary force be used to scope out and capture former High Admiral Calliope were denied by the Council. I'm not sure on the specifics of the meeting with the Council, but Supreme Admiral Gallias was looking to retrieve the Supreme General Masters of the Chosen Regiment from the planet Hyperion, when he was taken as a trophy by Calliope's fleet. Gallias' big plan is to bring about the death of Calliope, but with his fleet alone he knows he will fail."

A light was blinking in Desdemonia's helmet, she had an incoming line, but she suppressed it for now. "While I was tracking the logs from communications off this ship I found a routed one to the Zeta Quadrant, where Calliope had last lead her fleet before leaving Tri-Alliance space. The big concern was the Communication died outside the Aeternum Gate, which means a ship had came out to receive if not a small vessel. I'm not sure who it came from, but I've been watching the manning in the 301st Tri-Alliance com squadron." The light kept on blinking. "I'm not sure on why Gallias only brought two of us Nova Marines with him; Nova Marine Saint, and Nova Marine Thorn.... Standby sir."

Desdemonia switched to an open line with whoever it was that was trying to get a hold of her. "Nova Marine Desdemonia, Go."

"This is Nova Marine Virus, I will be enroute from the planet Toufrest to join Fleet Reggero."

"Copy that, will have you logged in shortly."

"Got it, so Des-"

"I'm switching back to secure Virus, Desdemonia offline." She cut the communication with Virus there. "Otherwards everything else is on your call Admiral, on how we approach and what we do."

Gallias laid faith in his Defensor Commanders that they would secure the ship. Yet he knew his men were going to be outnumbered even on his own ship. Gallias put both hands on the sides of the warboard, "Status!"

"Shields are down, Ship damage is increasing, Rail-Guns station two, three, and Four are offline."

"Engines"

"Insuffient, engines two, three, four, five, seven, eight, and ten are offline."

"Alert Fighters."

"Docking on Twilights behind us."

"Ship power supply."

"Since the Drain to try and get the ship operational again on weapons and shields six percent, we have roughly about 38 hours before we on reserves. Were taking too much energy from the ZPMs at this rate to try and bring the shields up, and keep the Hyperlite Drives up."

"Stop trying to get the shields up, if they wanted to take this ship apart it would of already been done, and stop the hyperlite drives there chance for this ship to make any tactical jumps in it's current condition. Fleet Status"

"Forward Fleet is taking heavy damage, Darkstars are still engaged with Repair Stations and other Defensive ships."

"Drop Troop Command."

"Unable, our ships are not within distance to release Ricochets to drop troops on the planet."

"Then what are they doing, just sitting on ships to die?"

"I can not answer that sir."

Turning to his Senior Watch Officer, "Release your crew and have them mount up for ship evacuation on the aft hangar, the Tainted Saints won't board on that hangar. In case they do, make sure an Invisonary Squad escorts all non defensor personnel off the ship." Turning to his communications Senior Watch Officer, "Have our Twilights cover our Ricochets while they make their way out of the Aeternum, if the fleet goes to 75% call out for a retreat of all fleet ships except the Darkstars and this ship."

"On it."

Gallias knew the Purifier was a better equipped ship than the Maximus, but this fast it took to take the Maximus down was unexpected. "Nova Marine Saint, take an Invisionary Squad and head down to the Starboard Hangar, Secure it. Nova Marine Thorn, head down to the Port Side Hangar Secure it."

Saint looked at Gallias, "Should she not take an Invisionary Support Squad?"

"Unlike you Saint, she is a berserker."

"Even as a berserker she should not go alo-"

"Nova Marine Saint follow command." With that Saint walked off without looking at Gallias. "Nova Marine Thorn, go alone. If you must retreat then do so, but you should be able to handle it on your own." With that Thorn mounted her polearm and claymore to her back, as she moved her Gauss Rifle Mark III to her hands. She took off with a jog off the bridge, her red hair moving with her like a crimson haze. Gallias watched the warboard as his ships engaged with Calliope's ships.

The Admiral paused at the end. He removed the COM device from his ear and looked at Des, "Please excuse me." Walking past the bridge doors, the guards and passing crew saluted him. He arrived at his station on the bridge and sleared his throat, "Attention on deck." The hustle and bustle of conversation and work being done ceased. Aspharr scanned the room, "I won't drag this out. I won't be indirect. Issue an all aboard order for Fleet Reggero. Prep the ship for combat and get us in the air now."

Admiral Reggero sat down as the bridge stayed hushed. They slowly picked things up. Soon enough, the fleet was soon airborne. Flying in standard formation, Fleet Reggero set their bearing towards Admiral Gallias' location.

"Put the ship into standard combat formation. Put the fleet on Combat Alert Alpha. Shields to 100%, weapons on standby, tracking systems online. Bring all defensive weapons systems to fully active. We are gonna be jumping in hot and set up the jump" Aspharr rattled off.

High Admiral Reggero wasn't about to let Gallias go into battle alone and outnumbered. Reggero knew that his fleet wouldn't offset the balance too much...but any help he could give he would give willingly.

The operator turned to the Admiral, "Sir, jump ready."

Aspharr simply replied, "...Execute."

The fleet powered forward and soon came out of the jump in the middle of space. The fleet changed direction slightly and (as to not drain the sub-fusion reactors to be used in the battle) waited the mandatory amount of time to jump again. When everything read green, the opertor turned, "Sir?"

Reggero glanced over to him and took a deep breath. He grabbed his station and glanced over at the operator again and di a brief nod. The fleet warped ahead knowing what was on the other side

------------

After another large flash of light, the fleet appeared on the battlefield. They weren't on any particular side. The nearby planet was at a 45 degree angle to their right. Aspharr immediately opened up a channel with the Maximus, "Admiral, it's unforunate that this has to be the way we first meet, however, Fleet Reggero is here to assist. We are on your 3 o'clock."

He turned away and ordered, "Bring all offensive weapons systems online. Started tracking and when in range fire. Once a round is released jump. While we are waiting set a jump course. Make sure you get plans from Fleet Gallias so we don't jump into each other or in the line of fire. Have the Twilight Crusiers lead the charge with Strike crusiers on the flanks and in pursuit. Have frigates and other craft position themselves for fighter defense. Open hanger bay doors, get fighter squadrons on the launch pads. Launch 25% of fighters."

Reggero continued his conversation, "Supreme Admiral, we are starting our offensive. If you have anything else we could do to better assist you, you know I wil ldo whatever you order. Right now I'm hoping to bring another front on here. Anything else, sir?"

Just then the helmsmen called out, "Admiral! We have the Purifier in the immediate vincinity."

"s**t! Redirect the front towards the flagships. Focus all power on them. Have strike crusiers on our flanks to watch out incoming. Keep the rest of the fleet focused on the Purifier."

D'wayne grunted as he held his weapon tight. The dark space void seeping into his eyes as he glanced out the window. There was not much to do. Only to wait for he was one man team. He worked for the admiral yes, but he was the demon on the other side...the monster under your bed...his calm and collected persona was there to mask his true identity. In the heat of battle men change. Form into anyone and anything. They can become brutal and cold. Willing to kill at will. This was D'wayne from the inside. Nothing more than an old killer, hired gun, just another soldier who cant live without the battlefield. Of course, this is what he thought as he stared into space. The twinkling stars reminding him of home summer nights. Gazing up at the stars floating ahead as he wanted that again so much. This was not why he fought though. His attention returning to Calliope as she said Battalion Supor Go. Snapping to attention as he followed the admiral in every way, shape, and form. His presence almost gone, like a shadow while his right led his left. Dark brown hues shifting as the heat of battle grew near. He was ready, he checked his equipment 3 times prior to boarding so he knew if he was caught then instantly a swift pull of the trigger and dropping of bodies. At least this was the "plan".

Returning to attention as he kept a kneeled position then arose He would fixate his eyes upon Callipoe.

"orders mam?"

he retorted while walked forth and into the ship. It was time, to embark on a journey filled with anguish blood and war. All the ingredients to make the perfect food for him. His fuel. Adrenaline was only half of it as his left swiped over his service pistol. All armor and equip was a green. ETA unknown but the target had already been identified. In these ranks, COD? was an honorable question. Meant you died in battle.

"Coutier! Move the line forward, put squads four, five, and six under command and push them forward!" As the Marines moved up Calliope right behind them standing above the low plate cover. "Pour it in to them! Keep it up! Persist!" Shouting into the line the kept slowly pushing on the right flank. "Coutier, cut off their left side and push them in their ECP!" A Gauss Round needled into one of the Shock Marines Helmets as it left a solid circle where the needle tipped gauss round had exited. Calliope pulled back the body, as she fired onto the Broken Arrow line in the hangar. Vice and Grigoriev had already pushed on the right and going melee and rifle to the Broken Arrow line near the ECP.

High Impact Explosive rounds were coming down, as Calliope rushed over to the other line. She watched as their Sergeant stepped up and moved forward on the open hangar surface, "Get Back Here!" The Sergeant's Squad followed, one of the eleven marines not the Sergeant took a round to the knee as he hit face first into the metal plain. He was dragged back as they cover behind one of the Aerospace Ground Equipment Mules. Picking up her next line's Sergeant she pushed him to go after the other squad, "Reinforce them, so they don't get cut off." As she pushed him out Two rounds ricocheted off her shoulder armor as she fired out again. This heat of battle that Calliope had not seen for sometime was exhilarating for her. Screaming command on the line as it pushed forward, Gauss rounds from Broken Arrows this was her element.

Moving forward Calliope pushed first and second Squad up the center into the AMXS building looking forward at the ECP. Bullets ricocheted and dissipated into her saturation shielding, the small amounts of weapons fire she was taking would suffice the damage to her shields. Pushing into the building Calliope moved her squads as they secured the area. "Take this side of the building detonate it, and we'll use the rubble to better use cover so the roof doesn't collapse on our heads." A few Broken Arrow Defensor Marines were in the building still moving people out.

Thorn came up to the ECP as Three Invisionary Marines pulled out from command. Thron watched as they walked out the gate from the ECP at a sprint as they headed elsewhere. They were ordered to hold the line until Thorn had arrived. The Defensor Marines were going to be outnumbered soon. Reinforcements were ready to go and head in, but they held off until the ECP and it's surrounding area were further under control. This would be so that they would not get caught bunched into one area without being able to move. Behind the Entry control point was the straight away to the main inner ship road that was used for vehicles. Thorn moved past the entry control point to look at two squads still gearing down before they moved out. To her right was the direction of the Flight line, in front of the Aircraft Maintenance Building (the AMXS building) seven Defensors were retreating from. The defensive line in the port side hangar was collapsing.

Moving out Thorn ran from the gateway down the side of the AMXS building to reinforce the left side, if she could pull that side around so she could hook the squads there into a counter attack. She was not aware of the Squad Officers so she pulled them on word as she moved. Coming to the side, she saw the opening road where Tainted Saints were cutting off movement from the otherside. Taking a breath Thorn made sure her suit was stabilized as the back guards of her calves opened and two grounding bars started pumping. The calf armor resealed with the grounding bars still pumping as her triceps armor did the same. Sprinting past the small road way Thorn found herself looking marines doing hand to hand with Tainted Saints. Moving her claymore to her hand she moved forward into combat.

"Contact! We have a fleet jumping in behind us!" The Senior Watch Officer rang out.

"Identify them!"

"Broken Arrow signature."

Gallias switched to his hail screen as he went direct to the Arcadia, "High Admiral Reggero, what are you doing here?! This is not your fight!"

"We are losing control of the Port side hangar, Starboard side is in full retreat down the highway."

Turning from the screen Gallias switched his com line to Nova Marine Saint, "Saint! Status!"

Heavy breathing and the sound of metal his metal and the sound of bone snapping came over, "Engaged"

"Status!"

"Standby, sir"

Gallias turned back to the Hail Screen, "High Admiral Reggero you do know at this moment we are engaged with Calliope's Planetary Defensive Fleet."

Panting and the sound of wind pushing into a mic resounded as Saint came over the line, "Were over powered here, my Invsionary Squad is cut off near the Phase Dock. I got separated when we got his hard. I had to pull the line back into the highway, were at 35% loses."

"Hold the line as long as you can, move the expeditionary forces to reinforce the position and hand off command when they get there. I want you back here on the bridge."

"Got it."

Gallias continued with the Hail screen. "Reggero, if you want to help. We need to pull ground forces onto the planet. We haven't been able to get our ships past the first wave defensive fleet, we have objectives planet side that we need. We have to Invisionary Teams planet side, but thats not enough to meet the objectives."

The Maximus shook as it went into a port side roll from incoming fire from the Purifier. "The ship is in a roll."

"Stabilize it quickly."

"Diverting power to port side push engines."

Hall and Damage Watch Officer came over as well, "We have hairline fractures on the starboard side due to rotational spin, and increasing."

"Push Engines active, were stabilizing."

Gallias watched as his fleet took heavy damage across the board, Strike Cruisers were pulling back as twilights were going into reserves.

When Ship Commander Xuko Paolo received news that Fleet Reggero would be heading into battle to assist Gallias, Xuko didn't hesitate to issue orders. He hadn't anticipated the possible chance that they'd have to go into battle so soon, but Xuko was alwasy ready and this incident was no different.

Xuko stood on the bridge and looked on as the operators rushed in and manned their positions. When all of the operators were at their positions, Xuko began giving orders.

"Start the engines and pull away from dock. Reggero said he wants the Twilight Cruisers up front, that's us! Bring fusion reactors to max output." Xuko said. "Enable energy shield layer and charge shields to one hundred percent. Be sure to divert excess power from generators to shielding. Enable tracking systems. Bring all of our weapons online." Then Xuko paused before continuing, "And prepare for jump."

Within minutes one of the operators turned and said, "Speed, sir?"

Xuko looked up at the man and replied, "Start off at AAI. When we are ready to jump, we'll bring her into AAII."

The operator nodded and turned back to his computers. Xuko stood there and watched as his men hurriedly prepared the vessel for combat. It wasn't long before another operator turned and called over her shoulder to Xuko. "Ship Commander Paolo, we're ready to jump."

"Shift speed to AAII!" Xuko ordered.

"Sir, we're prepared to jump." another operator announced.

"Wait for it... execute jump... NOW!" Xuko called out.

There was flash of light and within moments they were cruising through open space.

"Okay, be sure that our weapons are ready for combat and prepare to jump into battle!" Xuko said.

The operators worked on their computers furiously. Xuko stood there calmly with his hands behind his back. He licked his lips a few times as he waited patiently
for the operators to finish their work.

"Okay, weapons and jump are ready!" an operator shouted.

"Do it." Xuko said in an indifferent tone of voice.

Another flash of light and they were off to the side of the combat!

High Admiral Reggero nodded at his CO, "Aye, sir. Reggero, out." He called out, "Prepare OSDT's, fighters, and Ricochet's for deployment.back to the window and called out, "Send the message to all ships, fire first volley, then combat jump to these co-ordinates" The Pure-Blitz and Arcadia initiated the volley simulteanously at the Purifier and quickly jumped.

Now in the planet's orbit, they had pinpointed the Invisionaries that were already planetside and locked onto their position. High Admiral Reggero ordered, "Open all hangar bay doors, launch 50% of fighters and start deploying our ground forces. ODST deployment richochets are to be launched first."

As General Masters sat there in his enclosed cell, his once gleaming golden armor had become dull and it's crimson cape torn. The visor on the helmet was cracked far enough to where the inner monitor was no longer of use. looking out from the triple panned window the dark sky lit up just slightly every now and then. His armor's battery was near dead, it had probably less than two hours on it if it even had an hour on it. The cells around him were empty and the only guards sat down facing him in his cell. Looking at them he watched there heads move to him as he looked back at his armor. "Glorious lands with fading colors are all that awaits me outside this cell." No response came, as the captive General Masters stood in front of the armor. The cell was small, and white all around so he could hide nothing. No pictures on the walls, no writings, no stains were in the cell. Masters had been bored and doing nothing for way to long. Touching the wrist on his suit, the guards jumped as he quickly twisted the already unlocked bracelet and pulled it out as the suit opened in an instant. The Guards were pushing into the cell as he stuck his right arm into the suit and slammed one of the Tainted Saints guards with it, the second fired direct at point blank as the chasity round missed his chest and took a piece out of his left bicep. Moving quickly he rotated his wrist still in the suit as he hit the ground with the other guard and clipped the second ones knee as he fell to one. The first guard started to pull himself up, as Masters drove his legs and other arm into the suit. It was way to heavy to move on his own, the Second guard had dropped his rifle as he pulled his side arm out. Master's suit chest piece closed in time to catch three point blank rounds from the second guard. The Tainted Saints were vicious combatants, rolling over the suit went to 25% power as his arms came online and he snatched the helmet. Four rounds ricocheted off his chin, upper brow, cheek, and mouth of the helmet. The Monitor was not able to turn on so the bullet hole on the right eye was all he could use to look out of. A siren went off as the first guard had used his beacon. 75% power, and Masters leaped forward catching the guards wrist as he spun him into a wall and disarmed him. multiple chasity rounds hit and bounced off of his shoulders and back. With a whipping round house Masters missed the guard by a few inches, his skill was off since had last done combat.

He unloaded the first clip and switched to the Chasity Merger rounds as Masters quickly snap kicked the guards wrist. Trying to catch the kick he caught the kick but Masters moved with him to slam down he leg bringing down his opposition. Moving out of the room he shut the cell behind him and pulled the manual wall code and print scanner out as the door closed with a slight crack to it. In his head Masters was trying to come up with a plan out, the Suit was at 100% but with only an hour or so of power, he needed to find a small reactor and drain it. "My brothers have come, the best I can do is meet them halfway."

Walking down her line on the crumbled building she watched as a red armor solider run past the building bearing a Claymore and Polearm. The rubble allowed for better cover so the roof wouldn't fall down on them. "Hold the line!" Calliope ran back as she picked up the Lieutenant for the battalion and put him in command, "hold this line, we need to push our other side." Storming out at a sprint Calliope watched as three squads under Coutier's command held their line without moving. Calliope fired her weapon at Coutier only around him, not for a hit. Sprinting out through the Broken Arrows Weapon fire metal ricocheted off the ground and stapled itself into her shin armor.

"Coutier!" Calliope stopped behind a pillar as Broken Arrows fire rained into the pillar. An explosion from the front of the pillar shattered it, as it threw her to the ground. Rolling to her side, she laid down using the fallen pillar for cover. getting on her com line she put her line to connect with Coutier. "Reaper Marine Coutier!!! Move your Men up the left Flank!!" screaming into her microphone she was trying to get Coutier to move. Gauss Rounds slowly chipped away at the pillar. She was close enough to the AMXS building still to try and crawl over. Her Saturation Shielding was on charge. The weapons fire stopped for a second as Calliope wait a response from Coutier.

Vice slowly tore into the Broken Arrows at this melee range, as he squads pushed them back in line with her, Grigoriev placed himself out to cut the Broken Arrows off from falling back beyond him, an oncoming enemy was moving quickly towards his position as she bore a look of red armor and a long armed weapon. "Vice we have a one coming to engage us, I will taking care of her."

"Copy that." Vice turned as she caught a Broken Arrow wrist blade on her forearm plate guard, kicking out she pushed into the Marine driving her Glaive at him. The Glaive was caught, but she pulled him into her as she twisted her arm around his side and pulled him to the side as she threw him down. Turning Vice pulled out side arm as one of her Marines took a blade to his chest armor, the armor splintered as the Broken Arrow marine kicked him off his blade turned to Vice. She put two rounds in the marines throat guard as he turned with each round. Pulling out her Flachet attachment Vice slammed into the marine to take him off balance, as she shot through his shin armor. Turning over with her Glaive she caught the marine as she twisted it into him. "Gregoriev, we'll be moving up soon. Hold that spot and we'll continue."

Gallias watched as the battle raged on, his fleet not being able to move beyond it's hold point. Calliope's defensor fleet was just holding fast until her reinforcement fleets arrived. At that point the battle would surely be lost. Watching the warboard Gallias watched as hit four Capital Class Strike Cruisers were pulling back to the main lines, his King Class Twilights were losing ground as well as ship integrity. He move his cursors back to zone in where the Purifier kept it's ground with smaller frigates and destroyers around the Maximus. The Maximus Retribution was encircled. "Ship status." With a slight sigh Gallias turned to his Senior Watch Officer.

"Ship is currently on main supply to keep the ship sustained. Were not firing back anymore, our defensive grids have been taken out, Rail-Guns stations two, three, and four have been completely incapacitated. Theres not much we can do but defend our ship."

"Status on Boarding parties."

"Were showing a standstill at the Port side hangar from reports. And a hold on the highway from the Starboard side. They are holding a choke point on the Starboard side, so no one is moving. Invisionaries are still cut off from our main expeditionary forces in that area. The Port side hangar is awaiting reinforcements from the secondary expeditionary force, their path got cut off from interior ship damage."

"Where is Nova Marine Saint?"

The personnel Senior watch officer gave Gallias the status, "She is currently on the B Deck and moving to Deck A. She should be here shortly."

"Good, send word to fleet Reggero that they need to jump in over the planet into the last of Calliope's Defensor Fleet and drop ground forces immediately."

"Message in transit."

Gallias watched his view screen on the current battlefield status, the fight was going slow. He need to get troops on the ground fast to secure General Masters. It had been too long since General Masters had been away from his command, as well as being captive with the Rogue Tainted Saints if not already killed. "Whats the status on Nova Marine Thorn."

"She is currently in the port side hangar." Looking at the pad screen the Watch Officer was looking at known enemy contact. "We also have verified that there are Tainted Saints Invisionaries present."

"Tell Thorn not to come back until the Invionaries are dealt with."

"We are also have identified, that Calliope is present."

"Have the commanding unit for Invisonaries aboard the Maximus on standby, Calliope would be more than a challenge for him." Gallias turned back to the View Screen in Silence as his bridge was at minimal effort as they could do almost nothing now.

Thorn had made her way past the gaps and off to support the already most engaged side of the hangar. Watching her movement, Thorn stopped short as she drew her Claymore. Twisting the handle fire spew out of the sides, and stopped as anti heat pressurizers cooled the blade. Holding the claymore in one hand the tip hit the ground. An enemy was insight. Rushing forward she let the blade spark as she moved, a slight spark on her gloves surfaced as the thick grounding rubber insides to her gloves stopped it from affecting her. Her eyes widened as she lusted for battle, this was her first in a long time.

Desdemonia had just gotten Virus geared and ready as they joined High Admiral Reggero on the bridge. Desdemonia watched as the High Admiral gave his command amongst the ship, Virus adjusted her two blades on her back as she checked the chamber on her magnum. Looking at Virus, Desdemonia turned back to Reggero. "Admiral whats our next course of action?"
