Some where in space, the r-type blasts through space at high speed, on its way to the TC Tigers Claw, " Now its a good time to tell me what's going on " Sam sighed and said " ill start from the top, Lucian and I went to bed early that night, some thing on his mind he didn't want to tell me, we talked about our future, we kissed for a while, we had great sex " Max shouted " to much information I don't need to know about " Sam continued " OK, I woke up in the middle of the night from a loud sound of gunfire in and around the Terren palace, I looked around and sow Lucian in his pajamas standing with Ivan and lots of Terren royal solder standing in the room fully armed, I heard Ivan say some thing like they are in the palace, Lucian pointed to one of the female guards to take out her armor and give it to me, I was still confused on what's going on, Lucian approach me after I finished changing he pulled me to the corner of the room and said to me, this is important some friends of mine will get you to Mobar, there your on your own, find Nexus city block 56-40 building 7 apartment 8 B, take him and head for the Tigers Claw battle group, then Lucian kissed me, like its the last time ill ever see him, and covered my face with the helmet, then Ivan pulled me, I shouted, I didn't want to leave Lucian's side but Ivan was allot stronger then me, they toke me to a secret hanger where a pilot was waiting for me in a rapier, Ivan carried me in and immediately we toke off, the damage to the castle was enormous, it was Terren security force against the Terren royal soldiers " Sam started to cry a bit and continued " the pilot toke to a bar some where in the 55th sector I switched places and clothes with a female Terren soldier and got me on board a the Agamemnon destroyer with the Wolf Fang battle group headed for Mobar, the group I was with they let me go to look for you " Max interrupted " wow, Lucian arraigned for all that in just a few minutes " Sam said " Max I really miss him I'm afraid they might do allot of bad things to him " Max said " what was Lucian working on, if the Terren security force was in it, that means some one big is behind this " Max looked around the empty space and said " what's worries me right, we have cut off a great deal of distance across the Terren space and no battle groups or patrol fighters " Sam was still crying, Max said " Sam stop crying, its going to be ok, we will save Lucian " Max said that last sentence and he was thinking how impossible its going to be, if some one powerful enough to over through Lucian, what the hell could he do.

Enigma Sector, Gigantha system, a group of very large unstable planets with a high gravitational pull and meteor rings orbiting them. Hiding under the strong magnetic interference radiated from the planet Gigantha prime, the largest planet in the system, the Tigers Claw battle group is reduced to a carrier and two destroyers, the TC Atlas and the TC Hercules. On the bridge on Admiral Talwin along with commanders of the destroyers Bergin and lightwood discuss the difficult situation at hand.

" We cant hold on to this sector any longer, the Kayteens are moving forces to fast to secure this sector " the frustrated Bergin says

" Admiral, commander Bergin is right, if we don't get reinforcements soon we have to pull out "

Talwin looking at the carriers blue prints " pulling out is not an to consider, this sector is vital for both us and the Kayteens, who ever controls the sector will shift the war to his favor "

" If that's true, then where is our damn back up, that's what you get from putting a kid in charge "

Lightwood looks at Bergin for his last remark " Commander don't forget that your talking about the King, to serve and protect "

an officer rushes in " sir, our long range patrol have picked up an unidentified fighter on the smugglers run, there are escorting it back "

" did the pilot identify him self "

" yes sir, calls him self, your worst nightmare "

Talwin growled and said " bring that wise ass to office as soon as he lands"

Later in Admiral Talwins office

" I have put off with you to long " Talwin screamed at Max who stands in silence " you are walking on mega thin ice as it is " walking around him looking up and down, then he sat at his disk

" Max, its a tough time now and I really need you this time to work with me not against me " he calmly added crossing his fingers together straight at Max 's eyes

" guess you didn't hear about gold wing " Talwin leaned back in his chair

" our best pilots gold wing have defected to the RFW's " he paused for a moment rocking his him self

" and officially the orders from fleet command is unclear, but unofficially Lucian contacted me and want us to work together like our lives depends on it " he took out a disk from his pocket and handed it to Max

" Guess what, our lives DO depend on it "

at a conference room Max played the disk in one of the terminals " hey Max how is Mobar " Lucian said in the recording with the sound of loud laser gunfire and explosion in the background

" Max, I have uncovered a plot to take over the corporation, I cant tell you who there are right now, but there are will placed within the military and the corporation, you can trust Talwin, my request is simple attack and occupy the K-12 tell further orders arrive with my girl friend, and tell Sa " end of recording

" That SOB wants me to invade Kayteen space " Max shouted, Lucian was asking the impossible, no one ever managed to invade and occupy a Kayteen controlled system, he pulled out the disk and crushed it with both hands leaving the room.

an hour later Max walked in a luxury room with a glass window overlooking Gigantha Prime guarded by two solders, " Hey dangerous girl " Max said to Sam " wow your a major now " with a very sad voice

" wow a major now, im under arrest, Talwin will keep me here for a while till Lucian calls " Max walks towards her

" cool, ill be flying soon, gonna brief every body on our next attack " he looks deep into her eyes as he comes closer " be careful " with her sweet voice she replies

he pulls her to him and hugs her " take care when im not around kid " and rushes out of the room leaving her with a confused look on her face

an hour later, all essential personnel where at the main briefing room when Admiral Talwin and Commander Bergin followed by Major Max entered the large room, they all seated while Max went to the podium and sets up his small PDA

after a quick wave to his old friends at the back he starts by saying " people, it seams that help will not be here any time soon, and we will attempt to kick the Kayteens out of this system " Max watched as the expressions of disbelief on the pilots

Max smiled and continued " we will lure them into a trap here " Max quickly assigned missions to the available wings until he came to the last mission " Scott (Ripper) and I will be Xa wing we will fly Saber's for this mission, we will be the bait scouting the area for the Kayteen battle group, any questions gentlemen ?? " every thing was clear with body so they all stood up and started leaving the room

" yo Max, how is the second best pilot in the fleet " Ripper shouted behind him crystal and viceroy walking towards Max

" watch it captain Ripper I out rank you " Max said with an evil grin on his face

" wow you all grown up to be a fine Talwin door mat " Max and Ripper hugged " I really missed you man, glad you're here " Ripper added

" Major Max " the thick voice of Major Dawn West also known as Viceroy, one of the best pilots with more experience than any other on the fleet, after shaking hands with him he turns to the beautiful long silk black hair and a model figured body Crystal Meyers her call sign is Crystal, her named sparkled when her wing was ambushed on an attack rout and the only one to come back alive after nailing every Kayteen on the way back

After changing in there flight gear Max and Ripper meet up at the launch area for a last minute inspection of there Saber

" Hey Max long time no see, when did you get here "

" my god Janice, you still on board this junk pile "

Janice immediately jumped and hugged Max " Where have you been, I really missed you a lot "

"Ok let go I cant breath now" she let go of Max and continued " don't worry I inspected your fighters my self, its clear for combat " Max winked " thanks after I'm back lets meet up some where, just like old times " she saluted him " yes sir "

Max jumped in the mid weight two seater plan where his gunner is already waiting for him and went through the pre-flight check list

30 minutes later the two fighters where already flying in space scanning for the Kayteen battle group

" Max, I mean Nexus, do you think your plan will work?? "

" What do you mean Ripper ?? "

" I mean, all that big talk you where saying about retaking the Enigma Sector, with rookie pilots and half a battle group "

" will I got a big bet riding on this lets hope the Kayteen fall for my bluff "

Not far heading there way is the super carrier Escaflowne commanded by admiral Sherf

" admiral we have received news from intelegince command, Nexus arrived at the tigers claw "

" so they have unleashed the demon of the Ison corridor "

"Admiral sir, intelegince advised to be patient "

" I have been patient for a long time " he calmly added " I will not wait to have my vengeance on my fathers killer any more " he turned to the officer and said " deploy all fighters, engage any none Kayteen vessel in this sector "

" Yes my lord, it shall be done "

Mean while, the Tigers claw battle group prepares for action as they start to deploy there fighters and the destroyers to there designated position.

Through a small terminal on the bridge where admiral Talwin over see the battle " Admiral, are you sure Nexus battle tactic will work "

" I'm not sure commander, but then again we don't have many choices at this time "

" admiral Talwin, we have been through a lot together, its an honor for me to fight on your side"

" the honor is all mine commander "

A moments later the Escaflowne escorted by 4 destroyers have made picked up Nexus and Ripper on radar

" Sir, we have two mid weight fighters on the scanners, looks like a patrol "

" the Tigers Claw is not very far, attack an once before they get away "

" sir , there not getting away, there attacking us "

" no one dares attack us with two fighters unless one of them is Nexus "

Nexus and Ripper didn't waist time, at high speed managed to attack one of the destroyers and with a syncronised attack, destroyed its rear shield generator, over 50 fighters chasing them but unsuccessful in hitting Nexus or Ripper with a direct hit

" what are you doing, take evasive action now " the admiral of the Escaflowne shouted, on his orders the battle groups capital ships started to disperse away from each others to give them a better chance to shoot the Terren fighters an not hitting any of there's by mistake

" Ripper that's our exit song, take out as many surface guns as you can in this run and lets beat it "

" Oh, is Nexus scared of a few Kayteens "

" No, its just not a good day for me to become roast beef "

" Ok just let me give a little postcard to my new best friend, follow me Nexus "

" what the hell are you talking about "

At full speed Ripper heads to the Kayteen carrier with Nexus giving him cover, with a few missiles left Ripper fires one straight at bridge, Ripper knows very will it will not do any thing against the carriers shield but the Kayteens consider this an insult

Nexus laughing " I cant believe you just did that , that will really piss them off "

As the two fighters where running away, the Kayteens had no intentions of letting the fighters escape

" Follow them, destroy them, these two have no honor and don't deserve to live " the admiral shouted

" but sir there leading us to into the Gigantha system, our equipment and radar will not function very will with in a powerful magnetic field and large asteroids "

Admiral Sherf didn't like that at all, he looked at the officer and drew his gun " obey my orders"

" Nexus, I do think there gaining on us "

" maybe they want more postcards "

The two Terren fighters turn back and attack again, avoiding all fire from incoming fighters, they synchronize there attack on the same destroyer and with missiles they managed to destroy there front shields generator, and take out some of the surface guns.

The furious Admiral shouts " are all Kayteen pilots incompetent??"

" ok Ripper, we are almost there, give them another postcard and lets get split "

Again they fly by the Escaflowne while covering Ripper from surface fire, Ripper delivers another missile to the bridge

" Ripper the asteroids field is going to be hard to maneuver through "

" I'm worried about you Nexus, do you want some cover "

" Ha Ha very funny, I will lead "

Not far at the Tigers Claw " sir, I think I see two sabers coming this way "

" On radar ?? "

" no sir, our radars are not working, I see them over there look " and the young private pointed to the screen and sow Nexus and Ripper heading fast towards them

" OK, start the attack "

the Escaflowne and its escort found it self in the middle of a heavy missile fire from three directions within the asteroids field, just before they managed to regroup the fighters started there attack on the star ships that couldn't use there radar for guided missiles and not long the Escaflowne was destroyed and followed it there destroyers and escorting fighter crafts

Kayteen Prime

" My Emperor "

" Nexus ??!! "

" Yes my lord "

" and my grandson "

" his fleet is moving to Enigma "

" a foolish move, but serves the purpose "

" Purpose ?? my emperor ?? "

" Yes " as he walked out of the thrown room and repeated " Purpose !! "
