Chapter 9 - Chapter 8: Ready aim Fire

The Hondras come with an entire fleet of warships which were black and shaped like boomerangs with thrusters in the back to propel the ship through space.

They begin to charge up their blasters. One of the Hondras ships then lets out a blast and in less than a fraction of a second one of the PA ships blows up. The PA fleet then takes action and starts blasting and the battle begins. 

"We just lost the USS Pulsar." Victoria says in reference to the destruction of the PA ship.

The USS Constellation flies into the thick of the Hondras line as green laser blasts fly around and stray debris from destroyed starships from both sides.

"What the. That's suicide" says Jeffers

Victoria thinks for a second or two and then says

"No it's brilliant if we fly into the Hondras line they will hesitate to fire on us in fear they'll hit one of their own."

"Just a second ago you wanted to run. Now you're an expert pilot" Heidi comments

"It's a smart idea. He says follow him." Victoria says

Heidi looks over to Jeffers and asks

"You're not seriously considering this are you?"

"It's brilliant, Beta follow the constellation" Jeffers commands

"Yes sir" Beta says

"Unbelievable." Heidi protests

The Dibits then breaks from the line to follow the Constellation.

They fly through the Hondras line avoiding any and all laser blasts and torpedoes.

flying just under light speed so they have time to dodge Hondras ships as they explode from blasts from the PA fleet. They catch up to the Constellation and Captain Monroe comes up on the Holocom

"I see you took up my offer. Monroe says

Jeffers visibly shaken by the insanity of this decision says

"Yeah, it's better to be in one peace here then in pieces back there." Jeffers says

"Nice, hey the Hondras flagship coming up." says Monroe

They fly at a rate of speed so high that they come up on it in a couple of seconds.

"We're getting close what do we do?" asks Jeffers

"Fire torpedoes!" Monroe answers

Heidi smashes the button to fire the torpedoes and Constellation fires their torpedoes at the flagship which is the final ship in the Hondras line.

When both torpedoes make contact with the ship they smash into the ship exploding on two different sides of the ship.

"Hondras flagship is heavily damaged"  Victoria says

"Let's finish her off then" Monroe replies

"Ok, Heidi if you may" Jeffers says

Heidi mashes the torpedo button again and a torpedo launches from the deck and flies through space directly into the ship's cockpit.

The resulting explosion completely destroys the ship.

"I'm starting to get flashbacks from the Zezerick incident" Heidi says

"Let's do a 180 and fly back around" Monroe exclaims

"Alright!" Jeffer shouts hopped up on adrenaline.

Both ships fly up and go  above the Hondras fleet.

From there they can see that the fleet has taken a beating. They fly at light speed to return to the main battle to finish the rest of them.

"Guns active." Jeffers says

The guns on the Dibits come to life as they fire down upon the Hondras fleet. Since the Dibits isn't that strong of a ship it has little effect on actual warships.

The Constellation and Dibits return to the main battle to what appears to be a bloodbath for both sides. The Constellation flies through the debris of PA and Hondras ships.

Jeffers adrenaline spike goes up one notch at the renewed threat of death.

"Basic maneuvers men, basic maneuvers." Jeffers says.

The laser blasts fly across space at almost a higher rate of speed than the Dibits can travel.

One Hondras ship flies in front of the Dibits path in an apparent suicide attempt.

Heidi reacts fast and launches a torpedo. Causing it to explode, the ship flies through the fireball taking light damage.

"Nice reflex." Victoria tells Heidi

"Thanks." Heidi replies

The Dibits locks onto some random Hondras ship that has been damaged in an engagement with a PA battle cruiser

"I don't think the crew of Resolver will be mad if we just steal this one kill." Jeffers says

"Captain you've gone mad." Victoria says

"The adrenaline has taken him." Heidi tells Victoria.

The close in on the ship and Jeffers shouts

"Heidi now!"

Heidi again hits the torpedo button and the torpedo strikes the Hondras ship destroying it. At this point the Hondras notice what the Dibits is doing and dispatch a ship after them.

One of the ships peels off from the Hondras line and flies towards the Dibits shooting at it.

"We are under fire Captain" Beta says

"Avoid them at all cost" Jeffers commands

The Dibits flies deeper into the PA line but the ships still chase them.

The pursuing ship launches a stun torpedo and it hits the Dibits

"What was that?" Victoria asks frightened

"stun torpedo." Heidi says, she then says

"All guns are offline."

The enemy ship then launches another torpedo.

"So this is how it ends," Jeffers says as his high comes down.

"I'm glad to have been among the ones to serve abroad this ship" says Victoria

"Asskisser." Heidi comments

The torpedo flies towards the Dibits but right before it can hit it it gets intercepted by another torpedo from the deck of the USS Royal.

Jeffers looks up at the ship and smiles

"Normally it's the princess that needs to be saved." Heidi snidely comments

Jeffers just rolls his eyes

The Dibits then goes back online.

"Beta turn the ship around" Jeffers demands

The ship turns around and the guns on the Dibits fire. They hit the ship at such close range at such rapid speed the ship explodes.

"I guess there's a first time for everything. Those guns never kill anything." Heidi says

"I'm also shocked." Jeffers adds

The ship then flies back into the battle where both fleets have been dwindled down to a shadow of their former selves one of the last Hondras ships uses its laser beam and hits 5 PA ships with it and despite odds hits the wing of the Dibits. The resulting explosions of the other 5 ships throws the Dibits off course and the wing explosion knocks the whole crew out.
