Space Invaders!

After everyone and all of their ships were properly loaded the Quarter had launched successfully. The journey from Stacy to the Trojan Asteroid field trailing NiSaris took several hours, but they managed to approach the field with the people of the nearby world being none the wiser.

The problem was that the NiSarians weren't the only ones watching the skies.

As the Quarter approached and entered the asteroid field, all was quiet. But it was only going to be a matter of moments before that would change.


((ooc: See this post for instructions, but otherwise, have at it, and have fun.))

A small group of Shrike had veered of and went high, trying to sneak up on the team. Targets locked, they initiated a dive meant to be caught unawares... except for the sudden appearance of another missile barrage out in front of them peppering them head one due to their speedy assault right into the attack.

The Wraith easily veered of as Splicer grinned, "Heh, none of that shady shit, leave that to me kay?"

Zouichi, trailing slightly behind, pulled his VF into a quick bank, allowing his momentum to carry him into pursuit. Time to put it all into practice.

He made visual contact with each of the targets in rapid succession, locking on and allowing the Valkyrie's targeting system to pick up the slack. Then he shifted into Battroid mode, shoulder pods already opening, and let loose loose with a barrage of reactive missiles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxnC6jkJyEM) that scattered wildly, exhaust trails forming bright blue trails through empty space before zeroing in to pursue their targets.

"Hope you don't mind," Zouichi said. "Bunched up like that, they were hard to resist."

The Zaku sped around, picking off Shrikes with the Tactical Arms while Cowabunga looked for a good asteroid to snipe from.

"Just don't get too cocky. I don't think that's even made a dent in their numbers."

"Haha! Course' not. What do ya take me for a Banshee pilot? Swarm fightin's what I'm used ta! Watch yer backs~" He grinned as he pulled the Wraith up and out of cloak just long enough to intercept a Shrike unloading a few blasts into it before disengaging and pulling out fast.

"Least these ain' scourge. Would hate those damn kamikaze bastards." He mused as his craft disappeared again.
