as a
strange aura emitted from his body. “It’s time to go.”
    The
wings from his exoskeleton sprung out as he flew into the air with blade in
hand. As a pulse shot fired at him it flew straight through his body as he
flashed out of existence for a second. When he reappeared Brian spun the rakna blade and blasted into the invisible craft. As it exploded he flew away and
attacked another one.

    Tctie
and the others either stood near or on the Freedom as the barrage continued.
Another Rakna was taken out as they tightened formation.
    “Where
are they?” Kyli asked.
    Tctie
quietly aimed and fired shot after shot and hit one of the targets. After a
moment of his precise shots the object exploded and fell onto the dock nearby.
The Raulno’s forces moved over to help them when a hail of pulse shots fell on
Kyli’s Rakna, damaging it severely.
    “Kyli!”
the drone shouted.
    A
moment of silence passed before he heard her moan.
    “My
leg’s broken, that’s all,” she said. “You’ll have to take care of the rest.”
    “All
mobile suit forces are to maintain formation,” Tctie ordered.
    His
mobile suit held the rifle with two of its hands as it drew two curved blades.
The Ick-Tckt’s black eyes began flicking blue before he let out a primal
scream. His mobile suit flew into the enemy and cut the craft in half, causing
it to explode.

    The
Minerva, Aegis, and Mjolnir flew together as they headed outside the Columbia
base. The invisible attackers had damaged a number of the shield outlets on the
base and were working their way inside.
    “What’s
the plan captain?” Meldi asked.
    “The
Mjolnir will switch to spread mode while the Aegis goes to full power,” Valis
ordered.
    “Switching
over now,” Meldi said.
    “Going
berserk,” Celi said.
    The
Aegis began emitting particles and extended its powerful shields outwards like
a wave until it covered the entire base. The enemies’ weapons began reflecting
back at them and damaging their crafts. As their silhouettes appeared the
Mjolnir aimed in that area and fired.
    “Looks
like it’s working,” Meldi said.
    “For
now,” Valis said. She finished her plan and sent it to all her allies in the
area. “That should help.”
    Veda
appeared on her monitor. “I think you should see this.”
    Valis
watched a live feed showing the attack on the Freedom.
    “Let’s
pray they can hold out on their own,” Valis said.

    Myden
was firing the weapons when a sensation filled his mind. He looked up as Tctie
charged into the enemy. I can hear his thoughts, like a scream from beyond. The Grey looked at the city. I can also hear his thoughts, but they’re calm
and collected.
    “What’s
wrong Myden?” Grigon asked.
    “He…he’s
changing,” Myden said. “I can hear Brian’s thoughts, but more importantly, I can
hear Tctie.”
    “He’s
destroying one enemy after another,” Grigon said. “I’ve never seen him fight
like this before.”
    “He
can read the thoughts of his kin,” Myden said. “I always suspected the Ick-Tckt
would have powers similar to my people.”
    The
Artemis and Siren launched as Jesela ran into the room and took her station.
    “They’ve
really made a mess for us, haven’t they?” she asked.
    “That’s
for sure,” Grigon cawed.
    Myden
hit the com. “Seles, Mira, Tctie is berserking and able to find the enemies.
But I don’t think he can control it.”
    The
Artemis fired a spread attack and hit a few invisible crafts. The Siren
finished a pair off as they flew into the thick of things.
    “What
can we do to help him?” Seles asked.
    “Mira,”
Myden said. “When you get close enough sing a song to focus his mind.”
    “I’m
ready,” Mira said.

    The
Artemis and Siren followed Tctie as he rampaged through the invisible enemy
mobile armors. Seles watched carefully and fired to help the drone as he
continued forward.
    “He’s
cutting through them like
