h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It seems as though we are doing rather well regardless.

~The Raven is suddendly rocked by a massive Polka blast~

What? That came from Starbord! The Mangar's to Port!

~Checks screen~

The Mangar WAS to Port. Why was I not notified of their movements?

~Red turns to one of the Black Jumpsuited Extras and shoots him in the head~

Hm...

~Red turns to one of the clones and aims the blaster at him~

That was all you three's fault -- forcing the Mangar to out-manouver that, that, thing!

~Red blasts off a clone's toe~

That'll teach you. Now you have to account for your limp in all subsequnet postings in this forum!

[Y4C, hit by the blast, collapses in a heap in agony]

[The Other Five] [snap to attention] YES, SIR!

*The Mangar, outmaneuvering so quickly that none of the other ships can hit it, has now reduced the the Mangol/Rodentar/STUMPED alliance to 5% of it's original size*

Okay, Battle stations everyone, apparerntly too much of the Alliance forces have been diverted to the climactic battle going on right now in Hangar Infinity. The Raven is now no longer a command ship, but rather a battleship the likes of which they have not dealt with in ages.

~Sits down in his commander's chair, and presses buttons, the Raven cloaks (oh, come on, read the first Hangar 41 post, back when this whole thing started. We all knew the ship could be cloaked) and manouvers quickly behind one of the larger floating fragments of the dog shaped asteroid destroyed the LAST time the CLI fleet came through this system. Landing on top of the asteroid, to dark to be made out through sight, and blending in with the asteroid on all other sensors, the Raven begins to fire tracking missiles at the Mangar's sheild genorators~

*The Mangar's shields are now at 87%, and The Alliance fleet has been completely demolished, with the exception of the Raven and the Krakken. The Mangar cannot see the Raven, and is still managin to outmaneuver the Krakken*

[Y2K] D'OH!

*A pie flies by as the crew of the Mangar prepares a weapon which they believe will make it possible to detect the Raven*

*Suddenly, a strange substance begins spreading from the Mangar and flying through space. Within just a few moments, the dog shaped asteroid is visible with a strange lump on it (the Raven), thanks to the mustard that was launched. The Mangar then zooms straight for the Raven with the Krakken following from behind*

Not only are we now sitting ducks, we're sitting ducks in Mustard Sauce. Anyone with a personal fighter, get into it now. I had the Mangols install a few more into the ship, so anyone who doesn't have a fighter, take the ones in docking bays 3 & 4.

~Red boards the POE for what he hopes will be a dogfighting scene~

[Moments later, the Chiss starfighter bursts out of the Raven's shuttle bay]

*Quickly, every STUMPED villain exits the Raven in either their own special one-person fighters, or the extras in the extra cargo bays. However, the Mangar does not concern itself with them. It continues on its breakneck course for the Raven, veering away at the last possible moment. The Krakken, unable to stop on a dime, floating or otherwise, smashes into the Raven. The Raven and the Krakken are now severely damaged, and quite possibly totalled until the end of this story. The Mangar flies away, and only now does it begin to consider unleashing its own fighters for the dogfighting which is about to errupt. Meanwhile, Affy is inside, contemplating*

Now, the Raven is gone, and probably can't be fixed until we're well out of here. But after that it'll be repaired pretty speedily. No idea whether or not the Space Krakken is reparable. I wonder if Montressor was on board the Raven still...oh, well, I'm sure we'll find out during his inevitable return!

Now, everyone into your personal fighters. We've got some dogfighting to do!

~Onboard the POE, Montressor in two, the Masque watches his fighters scramble, as well as the near destruction of the Raven. Thank goodness the hyper drive was still working, and Lenore carries out her previous orders to take it back to Planet X for repairs and a new paint job (mustard stains are awful). He then adresses his fighters~

Masque to STUMPED dogfighting fleet:

Do not engage the Mangar directly unless you have a clear shot. Fly as close as possible to the craft. They won't fire explosives so close to themselves that they damage their own ship. Try to get them to deploy their own smaller fighters.

Masque out.

[The PIE Interceptor, the BowTIE Fighter, the Sith Infiltrator, a Korlier Flashship painted green, and an X-ceptor (An X-Wing body and TIE Intercepror wings) fly out of the Raven]

[Y2K and Y2C: Sith Infiltrator]
[Y3K: Pie Interceptor]
[Y4K: BowTIE fighter]
[Y3C: Green Korlier]
[Y4C: X-ceptor]

~By the way, that should have been "Montressor in tow", meaning he's behind me in my ship, not "Montressor in two" which seems to imply he's been cut in half~

*Could we say that, while he's in tow, he's been cut in two? This would make life so much easier for the good guys. Oh, and just so you know, Mew left the ship and is in the dogfight*

[Y2K] Drat! Oh! What's he flying!?

[An odd chrome-like ball thing that wierdly reflects light around it blasts at the Sith Infiltrator]

[Y2K and Y2C] ZARK!

[.]

*Suddenly, in an attempt to save time by condensing the two forums into one easy to read space battle, Affy makes a new conversation for Red to do his Darth Vader impression in*
