[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 1142638, member: 2012"] [b]Part Three (cont.)[/b] [i]Above Toril near Selûne:[/i] Breakwater looked out his cockpit window at the world of Toril, as it grew larger and larger in his field of vision. He had known that it was unlikely that he, the interceptors of Fathom Left, and the League convoy of dropships would reach the atmosphere of the planet without any resistance. The dragon wings came out of the glare of the system’s star as it passed above the planet’s strange formation of moon and asteroids. The sleek, dragon-shaped interceptors came in the dozens. Soon the League interceptors and dropships were surrounded on all sides. “Damn,” Breakwater’s cousin’s words crackled over the Comm. “There’s too many of them.” Just then one of the dropships exploded in a hail of plasma fire. Breakwater was unsure of what to do. He was outnumbered and severely outgunned. Then he looked towards the world’s moon and the trail of asteroids that followed the planet’s orbit. “General Bartleby, this is Fathom 2. We need to get these Imperial bastards off or backs and I have a crazy idea that just might work.” “I’m willing to try anything at this point.” The General’s haggard voice came back through the Comm. “We need to take the convoy through the asteroids.” Breakwater wasn’t sure what kind of response he’d get. At first there was only silence followed by the telltale whistle of his cousin through the Comm. Plasma fire was exploding all around them. “You’re right that is crazy.” The General didn’t sound convinced. “Those asteroids will make mincemeat out of us if we’re not careful.” “Yes sir,” Breakwater knew his plan was the only option. “All we can hope is that they are stupid enough to follow us in.” “It’s your call, Fathom 2.” “Let’s do it.” Breakwater banked his interceptor towards the asteroids. “Fathom 12 and 4 you’re with me. General, bring your dropship in behind me. My boys will cover you from behind while I guide you through the field.” “We’re with you Fathom 2, lead the way.” “Cousin, I’d just like to state for the record you are one crazy bastard.” “Yes, but he’s our crazy bastard.” Fathom 12’s voice chuckled. Breakwater barked out orders to the remaining members of Fathom Left. Groups of interceptors and a dropship split off from each other. Momentarily confusing the dragon wing pilots. Before the Imperials could react the convoy had split into over half a dozen small groups, with either one, two, or three interceptors guarding each dropship. A lone unprotected dropship didn’t make it to the edge of the asteroid field. “Everyone stay sharp!” Breakwater led the beleaguered League convoy into the Tears of Selûne to play a deadly game of cat and mouse with the Imperial dragon wings. * * * [/QUOTE]
