The small space cruiser just moved to the cloud levels when Jas turned it upside down and descended again towards the ground at high speed that freaked Rigo out.
"Are you crazy? Are you going to do this again?"
Jas waited to the mont when the cruiser was about to hit the ground and rapidly turned it straight as he ordered with amusing tone:
"Activate the shields, all of them, do it now."
"You are crazy, you know that?" Rigo yelled hysterically.
"Raise the shields and then yell as much as you like," Jas comnted without care towards Rigo's tone. Jas had already succeeded in doing an old, nearly impossible maneuver that made all his body tremble out of excitent.
"All shields are up, what do y" Rigo cut his own words in disbelief, as he witnessed sothing that wasn't less crazy than that descent maneuver.
The cruiser was flying straight a few ters above the ground, and by activating its shields, the whole ground turned to be part of this cruiser.
Now, Jas was moving the cruiser with a very fast speed towards any ground troops or defenses, where the shields didn't act as they were supposed to be, a defensive tool, as they started to reap lives like any strong offensive weapon.
Rigo looked at his crazy supre leader without knowing what to say, Jas was using one old forgotten way after another, which made him wonder if this man was really young or he was sent in ti from the past, the really far past.
What Rigo didn't know was that Jas had nearly morized an entire base full of old records from many areas of the universe, and most of them were military records.
Jas was a modern man with an old mind, but he wasn't obsolete as he tried to rge what modern technology offered and what the past taught him.
Jas' new trick did a marvelous job, as the cruise was like an armored mountain that moved with unstoppable montum clearing everything it its way. After the end of the first round, Jas turned the cruiser as he directed it to go back the way it ca from.
Although he managed to destroy many defenses, it wasn't effective yet, as they were fighting the whole zone. Round after round was done repeatedly without anything there to stop the cruiser.
Jas was getting used to this, as he felt he was riding a winged horse, flying with high speed, and waving his mighty broadsword to decapitate and degenerate anyone and anything that stood in his path.
"Supre leader, the boys back there can't shoot the ground troops at all like this," Rigo said after a couple of rounds like these. Jas was imrsed in doing this maneuver which he read long ti ago in the old records, so he took few monts before saying:
"Let them forget the ground troops, I will handle them all. Make them target those nasty fighters."
"But this is supposed to be that princess job," Rigo complained.
"Don't argue, if I was one of these fighters, then I would have forgotten the princess for a while and focused on this life reaper cruiser. Make the boys kill those fighters or else we will be in trouble," Jas explained in a rush as he was trying to concentrate on what he was doing.
Rigo understood his point, so he didn't delay and relayed the orders to the other droids back there. In a few monts, they all left the ground cannons and used the rooftop ones, as they started to rain fire over these fighters.
It wasn't an easy job to shoot these fighters from the ground, especially with the high speed this cruiser was moving with, but the longer they kept firing, the more they got used to it. This battle didn't last for over one hour when a transmission ca suddenly from Dora to Jas.
"Full back now, you were a great guardian of the phoenix. Follow my ship and disengage from this fight, we will handle it from here."
Jas looked to the sky to find more reinforcents were coming from far. Many small fighters, which belonged to the rebels, appeared on the scanners of the cruiser.
"It seed the rebels weren't just standing by after all," Rigo comnted sarcastically. Jas looked at him without saying a word, as he was part of the empire once and he knew exactly how limited the resources of the rebels were.
It was great for them to bring all these fighters here in this small ti, which reminded Jas of the hideous sche of the Immortal. That man was like a snake, when it decided to bite you then you realize you would die, no matter how hard you tried to fight it back.
"Let's follow her ship, you take over the wheel while I will go and check over those two," Jas ordered as he left his seat slowly and steadily.
Rigo did exactly what Jas expected, as it raised the cruiser suddenly to hover in the sky. Jas steadied himself firmly as he reached the place where he kept Eli and that unknown guy sleeping on the ground.
Jas didn't intend to check them, as he was feeling so drowsiness after all the stress he just experienced. He executed two old maneuvers perfectly, and this was his first battle ever, so it was normal for his mind to feel this exhausted.
Jas leaned his body over the only seat there, where Eli loved to use. He recalled her weird knowledge of navigation, which was strangely similar to his knowledge with warfare. He just closed his eyes for a minute before he heard Rigo saying out loud:
"The princess has stopped her ship, and now I will stop ours just in front of her. Do you want to co with you, supre leader?"
Jas opened his eyes and squeezed them with the palms of his hand while saying while yawning:
"No, stay here and be ready for any battle."
"Affirmative," Rigo replied.
Jas felt the cruiser to land on the ground, as the bottom three landing legs supported the cruiser from a rough landing. Jas then moved back towards the big hall as he opened the hatch and descended to the ground.
In front of him, he found Dora standing there waiting calmly for him. Once she saw him, she froze as she recognized him. Jas walked slowly towards her, as the warm wind blew his face and threw his hair all over his shoulders and face.
Dora's eyes were fixated over him, like a tiger eyes its prey, which made Jas slightly uncomfortable, but what was annoying to him wasn't her looks, but the hot winds that made him feel more exhausted.
"I didn't think this mysterious guardian of the phoenix to actually turn out to be you," Dora said this while shaking her head with a soft sigh as if she was denying what she was seeing in front of her.
"Why? Am I that ugly? I thou" Just as he was about to complete his sentence, a sudden blow of extrely hot wind ca to force him to stop. He wasn't alone affected by this strange wind, but Dora as well.
"What the hell is wrong with this wind? I feel like I'm in him" Jas was just shouting loudly from anger when sothing fell heavily over his stretched arms to make him stop, and even take his body to fall violently on the ground.
The hit was strong, but that wasn't what worried Jas, as the thing that fell onto him was already blazing with strange deep orange fire. Jas rolled away from this fire for a couple of ters before he stood straight facing this bizarre scene.
That wasn't a ruined object from the ongoing battles everywhere as he suspected, that was a human engulfed totally with this weird fire that didn't even touch that girl's clothes. Jas looked deeply towards that girl to feel weirder, as he muttered in a low voice:
"Another comatose person, great, that's just great. My ship has turned into a mobile hospital for any comatose holess, naless person that's just perfect."
