Twilight Of Peace

[Dab]

Dab: Xizer forget about Zerstoren, dock on the Ableben and get rid of the intruders there. The commandos should still be ready for you in the docking bays. I'll take care of Zerstoren.

Dab sighted the lucky bomber that had destroyed more than he had any right to in a fighter. He turned towards him on a head to head pass. Zerstoren let go two nova torpedos, but Dab easily dodged them. he pumped his 4 Tizona Del Cids into his shields, and once they were down he let lose on his hull with everything he had. Zerstoren's bomber lost a wing and was trailing smoke when something clicked in Dab's mind. The two ships passed each other during his reveree and Zerstoren turned toward the Schadel before his ship could explode.

Dab: Chanceller don't listen to it. He is only trying to destroy you. You die and the houses will kill each other off and rip the galaxy apart.

********************************

The Enterprise responded to the Frankfurt fleet with every turret it had. The two battlegroups were almost evenly matched due to the arrival of the Beta battlegroup, consisting of 1 battleship, 4 cruisers, and 15 gunboats, as well as 20 fighter wings.

********************************

A third of the Rheinland cruisers had been destroyed along with 40 gunboats. The Schadel was dead in space, and the fighter wings were slowly diminishing in size. The Rheinland fleet no longer had numbers on their side, and all but a few of their bombers were destroyed.

The AW fleet had only lost 15 cruisers, 25-30 gunboats, and half of it's fighters. The 4 battleships, including Ableben and Leviathen, were slaughtering the Rheinland's remaining cruisers.

*************************(so many *** no?)***

Yet again Dab could sense another set of turmoil going on somewhere, quite a ways away from the battle though. He could feel two though patterns fighting each other, but what for he could not tell. They were too far away. He just hoped that whichever mind got control took long enough for the battle to end.
