"We need some room to maneuver and cover, Michael. Bring us to bearing 240 degrees, down 15 degrees. Full thrust. Put us on the other side of Earth fast." Admiral Lisa Hayes Hunter was frantically thinking how her small fleet (by Zentraedi standards, any ways) was going to deal with the Zentraedi up there. It would take her mind off from the worries it had about a certain Admiral that had run off to rescue his Big Brother. "Exedore?"
"Yes, Admiral?" The micronized Zentaedi officer replied.
"Who is in charge of the Zentraedi retrieval fleet right now?" she asked. She wanted to verify her thoughts.
He turned his odd but powerful mind to work. "That would have to be Commander Azonia."
"Khyron's lover," Lisa almost snarled out.
"She had little to do with him at this point. As a matter of fact, it was not until the Zentraedi uprising on Earth that she fell in with him. And she has not done any actions yet with him. Remember. She was an exceptional officer, only second to Breetai in our eyes."
The Admiral pursed her lips. "Very well. Khyron is an insane menace though. I'm not going to give him the chance to kill my friends again."
Exedore just nodded sadly. "I understand."
"The Earth is now in between us and the Zentraedi main fleet, Ma'am."
--------
"They are exiting from behind the Micronian world now, Commander Azonia." Her officer had a feral look on her face. It had been a tense fifty minutes while they waited to see what these newcomers did. They were making the classic wrong actions of an inexperienced warrior.
"Prepare for long range bombardment! We can destroy these traitors at once! Launch all battlepods! Let us wipe these vermin from our sight! Khyron? I'll try to leave a few of these new ghosts for you." Hopefully, they would kill him. Miriya's hurried reports of invisible, small and fast mecha were not something she wanted to think of.
the surface of the mighty Zentaedi cruisers and destroyers, the organic looking laser clusters slid out from behind armored panels.
"We are detecting a reaction! They are firing on us!" Azonia's second in command yelled.
"Idiots! They can't destroy us from this range. They can barely warm our armor. Miriya, prepare to launch your Quadranos and-"
"Reflex cannons! They are firing six reflex cannons on wide dispersal!" shouted Umizunia, her battle captain of the ship.
"What? The fools!"
"Commander! We are receiving wide spread reports of damage to our laser cannons! We have lost over fifty percent of our firepower! All of our forward cannons are reporting damage!"
"They knew? How did they know to fire at that point exactly?" Commander Azonia yelled.
--------
Khyron sneered as he boarded his command battlepod. "Well, this looks like fun. Looks like we have to use our battle pods now."
"But sir! We just lost one quarter of all of our battle pods in that shot!"
"That's what they were there for. Now we shall fight and destroy these traitors!" the overly handsome Khyron proclaimed. "I shall lead us to glorious victory!"
His battlepod just barely rocketed out of his battle cruiser when it was struck by a focused shot of pure destruction.
"What?" he barely had time to scream as his precious battle cruiser exploded a mere one thousand meters away.
--------
"That thing acts like a Monitor Battlecruiser, all right! It just fired a second shot that destroyed Khyron's battle cruiser!"
"Well, one good thing may come of this," Azonia groused to herself. "Order all battle pods out and to sweep in from all directions. Don't let them use their reflex cannons again to whittle our forces down." This fight was turning ugly fast.
On the view screen, one of her few Rineunadou Lojmeuean class monitors suddenly sprouted explosions all over the surface of its hull, along the middle and rear of the ship.
"Report! What happened?" That had not come from the battle fleet in front of them. That had come from something much closer.
"I'm detecting weapon blasts, but the sensors aren't detecting the enemy!"
Azonia's purple eyes widened in shock. The ghost fighters.
