ベラミス - her epic journey of her soul

Chapter 22 The fierce battle

As the alarm sounded, all battle personnel of the Galaxy Union battleship assembled.

Then the public announcement system sounded a message, "Colonel Belamis, report to the main command room!"

Belamis was about to hop to her jet, and stopped. She frowned, so she ran back to the main command room.

Admiral Yautsin was there, and said, to Belamis, "You have to be here and command this ship..."

Belamis looked, and she turned to the screens and dashboards.

Belamis then replied, "Admiral, the enemies are coming at four directions, sector A, sector D, sector F and sector G....."

"To avert them.... our battleship has to re-align, then send out our squadrons to stop them... and then.... use warp flight to escape..." Belamis continued.

Yautsin nodded, "... that is what I have in mind... Belamis, stay here and issue the command...."

Belamis looked at Yautsin, she really wanted to go out and fight. Yautsin looked at her and said, "You have to be the one that is overseeing all things.... we cannot have you going out at the front line all the time..."

Then Yautsin collapsed. Belamis yelled, "Get the medic!!!"

Yautsin was in the sick bay.

Dr. Joey examined Yautsin, then she said, "Admiral, how long have you got this condition ?"

Belamis asked, "What condition ?"

Dr. Joey, "Yautsin had cancer in his lungs, and the cancer already spread to his other organs..."

Belamis looked at Yautsin.

Yautsin replied, "... that's why I must have you on board the Galaxy Warrior... only you have the talent to command this fleet... if I ..."

Belamis looked at Yautsin, her father's friend. Belamis remembered her father, like Yautsin, was also her superior. Belamis said, "Sir.... I will take care of things."

Belamis headed back to the main command room, all of the staff there was worried. Belamis announced, "Comrades, be calm and be brave.... we are going to win this!"

Belamis then commanded, "Polaris, Vega, Sputnik, turn to sector A and aim your guns. Spica, Albireo and Miza, turn to sector D. Pollux to sector F along with the rest of our ships."

"Squardon Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, head out to the main forces of Golinkor aT sector D. All other ships, cover our space fighters..."

In the radio transmission was Loken's voice, "Colonel.... we are set!"

Belamis replied, "Loken... I am counting on you to lead the squadron!"

In the screen, Loken saluted. Belamis returned salute.

Belamis commanded, "Galaxy Warrior, arm our main canons, all battleships.... when you receive my command, fire at will!"

"Lester, Greg... give me updates of latest situation....." Belamis commanded.

The entire ship's crew was in full swing, Medora stayed in her room and listened to the broadcast...

Belamis looked at the main big screen, and thought to herself, "There are so many enemy ships... and I cannot go out to use my space sword...."

"Colonel, the enemy ships will be within our firing range in 30 seconds...." Lester said.

"All ships, prepare to fire.... squadrons... where are you ?" Belamis yelled.

"ETA enemy battleship, 20 seconds...." Replied Loken.

"Lieutenant Loken... when the squadron get within range... aim your missiles at their engines and then fire at will". Belamis said.

"10 seconds to range..." Lester said.

"9..8...7...6...5...4...3..." Lester counted.

"All ships, fire at will!!" Belamis commanded.

In no time, cannons fired at the Golinkor battleships, and they returned fire.

"Raise the shields... the counter attack cannons fire!" Belamis commanded. Some enemy fires exploded near Galaxy Warrior, some hit the shield.

"Report on damage!" Belamis commanded.
"Colonel Belamis.... the shield can hold, only minor damages on the ship..." Greg reported.

"Squadron, situation update!"

"We are holding.... we hit four of their ships' engine..." Loken said..... "Arrrhhhhh"

"Loken!" Belamis shouted.

"Lt. Loken's figther was hit!!!" One voice from the squadron reported.

"10 space fighters down..." Another voice reported.

Belamis clutched her teeth, frustrated to watch her squadron comrades being hit and she was not with them.

"Spica, Pollux, Altair and Albireo, fire your cannons to cover our squadron!" Belamis commanded.

"Sector D reporting, we hit all of the enemy's ship's engine..... arrh...."


Belamis replied in shock, "What is it...??"

Greg replied, "The team of space fighters are under intense enemy fire.......we...we lost all of them..."

"Strong energy detected...heading to Vega!" Lester shouted.

Then a huge explosion... the ship Vega was destroyed.

"Another energy is coming to Pollux!" Lester shouted.

Belamis yelled, "Lester, take my post!"

Belamis ran out and hopped to her jet.... and she thought..."Either I transform to the giantess... or use space sword...."

She started her jet and headed out.... then another explosion...Pollux exploded.

"Their energy weapons are aiming at our ships, and they are shooting down a lot of our space fighters..." Lester said.

Belamis knew in her heart that the Galaxy Union's fleet was out-gunned.... The Golinkor's weapons were far far more superior in destructive powers....

Belamis looked at the data, there were battleships at 4 sectors.... the energy of her space sword had to be huge to cover all of the sectors at once....

Belamis stood out of her jet and raised her sword....

At this moment, Yautsin was out from his bed, and entered the main command room.

"Admiral!" Lester shouted.

"I know..." Yaustin looked at the severe onslaught from Golinkor forces and knew Belamis had go out....

"Use our fire powers to cover Belamis!" Yautsin commanded, "...and ready our guiding beam to get her back!"

Belamis used all her will power to suck in as many energy to her body as she could.... and never felt so painful on her body... as if she was burning up....

"Arh... arh..." Belamis moaned.... and she started to let out a bright glow on her body....

"More energy... more energy..." Belamis thought.

Dr. Joey, on the other hand, monitored Belamis vitals, "...she...she was gather energy from the cosmos....the energy content....is unbelievable..." as she watched the dials going up....
"She would die!" Dr. Joey thought.

The enemy battleships fired at Belamis' fighter, and all Galaxy Union's ships were firing to cover her... and Galaxy Union's fighters were also covering her...taking all the shots.

Belamis watched... in tears as one by one her own comrades went down... some saluting to her...

".... I have to win this... and live... or else... these comrades will die in vain!" Belamis thought.

"Space sword....hurricane!!!" A gigantic tidal wave like energy speed to the enemy ships at all sectors....
