trans_9 | fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars [OPEN]

Tycho was glad the squadron had so many new recruits, and he certainly didn't mind the sizable increase in his work-load that went along with it. After all, that's what his job as squadron XO was; making sure everything was organized. Still though, when it came down to it, Tycho was a pilot. He felt far more comfortable in the cockpit of a fighter than he did anywhere else.

Today, today he could use the distraction of some demanding piloting. Today, he wanted to go fast.

The sensoriums resolved themselves into the familiar hanger bay of the Mon Cal star cruiser Home One. The atmosphere was tense, buzzing with the familiar adrenaline high of before a major battle. With a grin, Tycho hoisted himself into the cockpit of his temporary ship, an A-Wing. Expertly, his fingers flicked over the controls, even as he logged into his squadron's com channel. "Green three has four lit and ready when you are," he informed Green Leader. Then they were off, forming up in a screen with the other fighters, ready to make the short jump to Endor.

Back in realspace, the fighter screen streamed towards the half finished Death Star, until there was Lando's voice on the coms, barking at them to pull back. It was a trap, the Death Star's shields were still up- even knowing it was coming, Tycho's stomach still clenched. But now, now here's where the fun part came in. He allowed himself a small smile as his craft turned to engage the oncoming wave of TIE-fighters. His A-Wing danced, his A-Wing soared, and TIE after TIE met their ends.

Tycho was a different pilot than he had been at the actual Battle of Endor 9 years earlier. He was older, more experienced. Still, he got the same joy out of flying that he always had, that same feeling of this is what I was meant to do.

[OOC: if anyone wants to come in and observe the battle, or hop in another fighter and join in, that's cool! Tycho's mostly just vapin some Imps to blow off steam. If you're not familiar with the Battle of Endor (the fight against the second Death Star) the video is here]

Tsukasa wandered in, coming into a hanger bay. I'm not going to run into a certain red-haired girl again, am I? He thought as he looked around.

"Huh, no one...oh, there is someone here." He said, when he looked outside and saw an A-Wing dueling some TIEs. He chuckled to himself as he pulled out his buckle. This could be interesting. He thought, placing it upon his waist, belt extending and RideBooker appearing.

"Henshin." He said, after pulling out and inserting his Decade card; a second later, Kamen Rider Decade stood where Tsukasa Kadoya had before. Summoning up a mental image, the Sensorium responded with a very good copy of Kamen Rider Agito. In addition, there a a revving noise as two golden cards appeared in his hands.

"This might tickle a little." He said, slotting one of the cards into his Buckle. *FINAL FORM RIDE! A-A-AGITO!* Rang out, and the holographic Agito changed into the Agito Tornader.

Decade jumped on it, and surfed out into space, pulling up beside Tycho's A-Wing. He tossed a little two-fingered salute as way of greeting.

Well. That certainly hadn't been a part of the Battle of Endor. Tycho raised an eyebrow as a man on an odd ... contraption thing went by him. He had no idea what it was; it certainly didn't look like any fighter craft he was familiar with.

Tycho rolled his A-Wing to avoid the lasers of a passing TIE, firing off a couple quick volleys of his own in return. He couldn't exactly stop to chat, as they were in the middle of a battle, but he probably shouldn't ignore what was clearly one of his shipmates either.

Tycho flipped over to an open com channel. "Greetings, unidentified craft, this is Green Three."

Normally, Decade doesn't have a radio receiver in his helmet. The Sensoriums, though, apparently provide one when necessary. So, hearing Tycho's voice inside it was...disconcerting, for all of a second.

"'Unidentified?' I'm Decade. Kamen Rider Decade. Remember that." And for sheer emphasis, Decade pulled out his RideBooker and switched it into a gun. One *ATTACK RIDE! BLAST!* later, a TIE fighter blew up from a hail of laser fire.

".... I see."

Yeah, Tycho was pretty much going to ignore this guy. There were plenty enough TIEs to go around, so if this 'Decade' character wanted to vape some, that was fine with Tycho.

"Well good flying then, Decade. Green Three out." With that, Tycho's A-wing pulled away, in pursuit of another TIE.

Something...bothered him about being ignored. Like Decade wasn't the star or something.

So, he slotted the other golden card the Sensorium had been kind enough to provide to him, and *FINAL ATTACK RIDE! A-A-AGITO!* rang out over the communication systems. A golden version of the Agito crest appeared underneath Decade, and he changed his RideBooker into a sword.

He zipped through the TIEs, hacking off wings, slicing them in half, etc. As he flew through the explosions, one could almost see the confidence. "Well, I believe that just about TIEs things up for this area...'Green Three,' was it?"

The A-Wing's speeds were enough that Tycho was on the other side of the furball when Decade pulled his little stunt, so the pilot hadn't even really seen what had happened. It seemed the obnoxious kid was going to persist in talking to him though, even pretending to be clever. With a resigned sigh, Tycho flipped back on his own com.

"Green Three here. Look, kid, knock yourself out. There's enough TIEs for everyone, so, you know, go have fun. Green Three out."

Some simulated interceptors were going to now regret the fact that Tycho was annoyed, as he returned his focus to the fight with a greater need to burn off steam.

Decade chuckled. "Knocking myself out in space seems...a poor idea, Mr. Green Three." After switching his RideBooker back to a gun he, almost idly, shot out the cockpit of a TIE fighter, which promptly proceeded to crash into one of the TIE Interceptors Tycho was going after.

"Well, that was a happy coincidence."

[[OOC: I'm sorry, but assuming where my character is in the fight is a godmod. I don't care if such showing off is IC for your character, in the future, if you want to do something like that, discuss it with the other players in the thread first, OOCly.]]

(OOC: My apologies. Feel free to fully ignore that post. Again, I apologize for that)

[[No worries, just, try not to do it in the future. If you're not sure, it's always best to ask.]]
