size... Although size could at times prove to be a hindering factor, at more point then not when it came ot combat scenerios and situations it proved to be effective to an impressively effective degree when it was employed in the correct sense at the correct time. The gigantic warships that most of the empires in ancerious saught to out preform each other by building by building followed that concept to a well enough degree. Being designed to absorb massive and sometimes staggering amounts of of damage before they were compromised.
The Unnatural domain, While not being a warship, was no exception. Rooted deep within the system of the truely titanic vessel, the entity known of the Aberration turned its attention towards the attention towards the nakai Vessel known as the azores as it made its jump intot the system. Piecing the image together from countles repurposed scanners and optical devices on the hull of the massive ship. It Recognized the design almost immedietly. its primary core deep within the surface of the planet bringing up its encrypted schematics from scans taken during the Massive and Largely forgotten engagements that its creators The Infernui, had fallen into with the powerful humanoid race of the Nakai Countless eons ago. An ancient race that it knew, Much like the race that had labored in thier looping streams of time to construct the vessel that it now occupied. But unlike the flux, whome it had needed to experament with and develop a physical profile for their race. The Nakai needed no development, their profile. it knew already, drawn from deep within its shards and cores. Transmitted across the vast galactic disk of ancerious from its shard fleets wherever they lay hiding. Some of which, it sensed. Were being experimented on by the Race of the flux and the humaniod organisms known as the humans of the immortal empire... Them, and thier "Secret Weapons" it would deal with later. Now, its focus was on the nakai. Them,it knew. And it still possed the tools the creator race had developed to fight them. Long sense asleepunder the ice of the giant ship carried beneith it.
Re-awakaning dark crystal based systems and buried towers that had lain dorment for eons undying. Thier Ancient Crystal and Geode Vein systems powering up, Glowing the dark lavender blue of ts core hidden deep within the core of the stolen moon. Its luminus patterns stretching across its icy white surface. Powering up and awakening cities and structures that had been buried beneith Vastras ice in the countless Eons sense their previous occupants had been infected and consumed as it had Raged across the galaxies in following of its primary function. massive sliding nightstone doors sliding open across the world in ancient shipyards and docks, the things that lay within stirring as they were jarred awake.
In other words, the world that the Tenebreans had once called Vastra was Awake, and it was Cycling itself up for a Defense.
Par'Lan surveyed the rising power levels from the planet below, judging by the power signatures these were Infurnui... It had been a LONG time since the Nakai had encountered the Infurnui, Even earlier so then their people had encountered and waged war with the Flux. their relations had started well. however like all ancient empires and their jealously relations had degraded to the point of war. However again like all ancient empires the war quickly became bogged down and pointless and so they went their seperate ways. Par'Lan sneered at the Infurnui signals and readied the A'Zores shield systems and decided the Infurnui units were a greater importance than the Flux vessel.
"I will take them all out in one fell swoop!"
As Par'lan Went about bringing his vessel up to fighting stats. The Aberration. Deeply rooten in both the Flux vessel as well as the Planet Continued its movements, Ancient Shield spires on the Surface of the planet, Penetrating deeply into the Mountain peaks that poked up through the Ice Glowing Deep Blue as they cast the arcaine Defence across the planets surface. Moding the systems and their reawakaning Power Systems to cover the majority of the Unnatural domains Hulls as well. As the Eldrich octonavis Ships of its long gone masters rose from the now gaping hangers of the shipyards that dotted the planets surface, rising through the thin atmosphere and Punching through the Flux shields that surrounded the world with Arcs of Bluish Energy that danced across thier pitch black surfaces. Twenty Vessels in all rising from the frozen Planetoid. Their energy Readouts on the Azores systems Equiling that of Several the Nakai ship.
The Aberration meanwhile, Was combing through the Long Dormant Crystal Library housed deep in the Inner Layers of Vastra. Pulling up Translation Codexes of the nakai Language. De-coding them and Prepping a Message of warning for the Azores and her Crew in The meager milliseconds it was taking to muster its forces.
"Attention, Crew of the Nakai Vessel Azores." the Transmission boomed on the Nakai ships Bridge.
Par'Lan listened to the message intently not really phased by the intimidating voice of the thing trying to contact him.
"Adversaries of the nakai and... Others..." The Aberration Stated. Addressing not just the nakai. but also the union and other empire fleets that had entered the system as its own fleet moved into combat formations. "Know now that your Squalid Vessels have come to stray into the Proximity of the Centr World of Irtarra of the Infernuii. Know also that while your Presence here will not Be tolerated by us. Wartime protocals as Stated by the Wars of our peoples Eons ago allow that you have less then one Transverse "30 minutes" Starting at the end of this Transmission. To disengage your formations and leave the system. If you fail to heed this offer of mercy and choose instead to Engage this world. You and your vessels will be subject to immediate and total Assimilation and Extermination... We Advise you to make the wise choice..."
Even as the Transmission began to Broadcast to the azores as well as the union fleet within the syetem. A visible change began to appear along the hull of the Unnatural domain that marked the completion of the Assimilation of its system by the entity that lurked within it. Cracks and fissures beginning to open along the hulls length as the systems within it began to Re-arrange themselves. Lavener blue light Spilling forth from the Fissures as the atmosphere of the vessel Bled out.
Par'Lan observed the changes and pulled back the A'Zores slightly, though the Nakai cruiser could easily decimate entire fleets of lesser races fleets the Infurnui were to be cautious with, though their individual ships were not as powerful the fact that there were 20 in number posed a serious threat. Par'Lan noticed the Union fleet had not moved, they were sitting there observing the battle from afar. Par'Lan didnt quite understand what was happening to the Flux vessel and so decided to ignore the threat message "Target Flux vessels engines and also the closest Infurnui vessel. Fire!" The A'Zores released a swarm of Spearhead drones towards the Flux vessel to disable its critical systems while firing a salvo of Quantum Firebolts and a QAC cannon shot at the nearest Infurnui vessel, it was enough to destroy it, but it was one of 20 and Par'Lan wasnt sure he could take them all,this closest one was out of formation, he was sure the rest would form up after its death. making his job a whole lot harder.
The QAC Burst Spead across the distance between the two opposing forces in an instant, while the Spearhead drones and Quantem firebolts followed suit. it Struck the Infernuii Ship square in its center. overpowering the ancient vessels systems and shorting out its componants in a display that Riveled that of a small supernova of light that flared momentraily. Before fading. the vessels hull of bizzare stony metal material still intact. But Dark and Fractured severly as its dead Bulk Began to Drift away from the rest of the formation. Following suit with a speed that could have been called Omnipotant. The Aberration sent what would be one of the final messages sent during the Furious battle that would follow. "Azores... Suffer the Fate that you have wrought upon yourselves... And join us in our quest to make our people Whole again..."
in the next instant. as The other attacks launched By the azores came within Range, and The Unnatural domain and its Carried planet Paractically Exploded into a frenzy of Activity. the Aberration, Having Sensed the Oncoming drones through its optical arracy. Sent out a Short Range infection pulse as they neared the engine fins of its Flux built shell. even as they visibly began to fracture along their joints as its corruption Spread, Re-Creating its thrust and FTL systems with its own, far superior designs. the burst of Energy bathing the waves of drones as they neared it. Overriding the otherwise simple systems that guided them to their target. and for a moment the Swarm went dark, before relighting in brillent Blue, thier paths shifting to go past the engines of the Unnatural domain as the Entity Within fed them new directions.
The Quantem firebolts on the other hand, Were not so easily disuaded. and the salvo of Weapons fire slammed into the Hull of the flux ship. Going off in powerful Bursts of golden light, interspaced here and ther with Rays of Lavender Energy and arcs as they vaporized large sections of the Flux ship. However, while the Unnatural domain took damage. its Jovian plus size. had ensured that the damage. while massive. Was Still small in Relation to its size, and once the initial Barrage was over. The aberration. Having established a level of placidity earlier while contacting the nakai vessel, and earlier then that. As it Swept the Unnatural domain clean of the Members of the flux. Was now angry. and as the Azores began Readying itself for another volly of attacks. It Sent out its ow forces.
Par'lan frowned, his drones had been overwritten and he was detecting the Infurnui ships forming up into formation, he also detected more power surges as more units powered up. The now blue drones flew towards the A'Zores, Par'Lan in response fired another salvo of drones to intercept the corrupted lot heading towards him, the drones intercepted each other and bright flashes erupted in the void and those that got through were either intercepted by the A'Zores point defenses or impacted the shields with a bright white flash. Par'Lan then surveyed the damage to the Flux ship, it had taken severe damage but its sheer size meant it was very little, it would take much more than Quantum Firebolts to take this mammoth down. Par'Lan frowned and charged all the A'Zores weaponry, he would have to deal with the Infurnui ships first, however... they were heading towards him with energy spikes all over, weapons fire was immenent.
Within the flux Vessel, even as Par'lan went about Deducting what his next move would be. Even more dramatic changes were Occuring within its hull. Massive Crystal structures and Geodes began to form throughout the vessels superstructure at a rapid pace as the Agressive entity went about Repurposing and downright Replacing systems that it deemed unessisary for its purposes. Growing new replacements for the Systems the Flux had attempted to cripple from the very shards of its core that they had brought onboard to study within thier labs. These shards began to become visible as they burst through the plates of the outer hull. Towers of dark blue crystal already appearing through the holes that the Quantem Firebolts Had torn within the unnatural domains flank.
The infernui ships that the aberration controlled however were not quite as Still as these changes became apparent in the larger ship, and in the instant that the unnatural domain had taken fire and the Blast from the nakai ship had sucessfully managed to disable one of their own they had Erupted into sudden and Surprising motion. the majority of them breaking into several formations. Two formation groups of three of the Dark and ancient Infernuii warships Shimmering suddenly and Disappearing from Where they were. Their energy spikes sucessfuly Disappearing from the A'zores systems as they moved to strike back at the vessel. While, on the distant hull of the flux ship, several of the towers of crystal that had been growing slowly from the blast holes on its flank began to glow brightly as the entity within Directed power to them. angry Arcs of Eldrich power lancing across its hull. Signaling the end of the unnatural domains Re-configuring, as well as the near total destruction of Practically every Movement to cripple it that the Flux had undertaken in their last hours.
Its Vessel was Fully operational, and it had every intention to see it out of the system.
To be continued...
