Ys chuckled, clearly enjoying herself. "Oh, Carlos, you hurt me～. This is me helping. If I wanted to have fun, I'd let you flounder a little longer."
Carlos groaned again, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Just... keep firing at the capital ship and keep your creepy hornets away from my fleet. And stop calling me bald!"
Ys ignored him, waving a hand dismissively at her ship's display. "Yes, yes, fire again. I want that shield down before I finish my fruit."
Another barrage of biomatter erupted from the destroyer, slamming into the enemy ship with even greater force. This time, the shields collapsed entirely, leaving the vessel vulnerable. The pirates scrambled to regroup, their once-confident assault devolving into panic.
