Omega Harbour, Perth, Australia
12:18:38
Brandon had to think quick, he needed Tarah back in the garage, but...
"THIS IS THE END FOR YOU ALL!! HAHA, YOU CANNOT STOP ME!"
He could not communicate via the race comms, due to Falon hacking it. He went to call Tarah, but then he saw a sleek white ship fly into the garage.
"Brandon, what the hell do we do?! I-I'm scared." she spoke without giving Brandon a chance to.
"Just hang around, relax. I hope David has things covered, if so, he should tell me what to do."
The next few minutes seemed like forever, though that feeling was broken by Falon. He flew low down, firing missiles and machine guns at the remaining and fleeing people in the stadium. Many people are killed, wounded, or are otherwise shocked. Suddenly, even though it was a late November day, and thus at the end of spring, it had started to rain.
"What!? Rain? At this time of year? What the hell's going on?" Brandon thought out loud.
"Must be a bad omen." Tarah replied.
At that point, Brandon's phone rang. Finally, David had come up with something.
"Brandon! I need Tarah to help Razgriz take out Falon! He's gonna use the weapon pads to destroy the enemy XAF, but the other craft will need a distraction so Razgriz can get a clear shot!"
"Indeed, that does make sense. I'll send Tarah out right away. Take care."
>>call_terminated_
"Ok, Tarah, we finally have a plan. You need to help Razgriz take out Falon."
"Awesome!" She said excitedly
"You also need to distract the other Crinale ships so Razgriz can safely get at him."
"Right, I'm off, then. Please take care of yourself."
"I know, but at this moment it's you I care about, now go! And come back alive!"
Tarah flew out of the garage, along with Razgriz. The craft zoom over a weapon pad each, however...
"Tarah! Watch out!!" Razgriz yelled
"Say goodnight!" came Falon's voice over the communications system.
The air was filled with bullets and missiles, Falon had opened fire on the two remaining racers. However, said racers were the top 2 racers in the 2209 FX400 season and thus, they were able to avoid the weapon fire. Falon then flew at great speed over the two, gaining a massive lead.
The communication system came back to life, this time it was Sarah, David Mendel's assistant and girlfriend, "Razgriz, Tarah! we've analysed the enemy craft and they are UAVs controlled by Falon! The transmitter is also exposed on the underbelly of the XAF-72! Try and damage it to take out the enemy formation!"
"YYEEESS!" Tarah gleefully yelled. "I'm on it! Hey, Razgriz, I have an idea! The weapon pads still drop turbos. Since Angelus' weapon system has a high chance of picking up a turbo, I'll turbo into your ship over the small ramp in the track and propel you to Falon, then you take a shot!"
"Great idea! Let's do it!" Razgriz replied
"_/TURBO."
Tarah had picked up a turbo, moving closer and closer to the track's small undulation. As Falon attempted to make a move on the both of them, Razgriz yelled "NOW!". Tarah immediately responded, moving behind Razgriz and firing the turbo, hitting him and suffering minor shield damage. Razgriz, who was flying high in the air, fired his rockets, directly hitting Falon.
BOOM.
Every single Crinale drone in the area of Omega Harbour was destroyed, blowing up quite spectacularly. The remaining survivors there gave screams of joy and relief. However, the battle was not over yet.
"Nice teamwork you two! The drones are down, its just Falon left! Let's take him down!" David said.
"Guys we aren't done yet! Scans show the XAF-72 has a ECM defence system. It'll render all attacks useless once activated!" Sarah piped up.
"Sh[static], is there a way to stop it?" Razgriz asked
"I'll keep running the scan and check for you" Sarah replied.
In the conversation, however, Tarah saw some movement in the smoke clouds created by the destroyed drone transmitter. It looked like it was heading for...
"Razgriz! Look out!" She yelled in panic.
True enough, there was movement, Falon plunged steeply out of the storm clouds and opened fire at Razgriz. Thinking quickly, Tarah shunted Razgriz out of the way. However, that caused her to sustain a hit. The Angelus craft swerved out of control and slammed into the wall. Brandon saw what happened, and reached out to her.
"TARAH! Are you alright?! Please be alright."
"Yeah, I'm fine...Ow. Well, I say fine, I mean, 'Not dead', hahahahaAAAAOOOOOWWW! I, umm... I may have whiplash. Great."
"[sigh], well at least you're not dead, or seriously injured."
"Yeah."
All Team Angelus could do now was watch as the two Wyvern pilots fought. Falon engaged a Crinale Energy Blaster. As he fired the unavoidable attack, Razgriz activated something Brandon had only ever heard about.
"Wait... that's a reflector! That's an F7200 weapon! Neat!"
As soon as the shield was used, reflecting the locked-on shot back at Falon, dealing mass amounts of damage, it stopped. Falon then activated an ECM, an advanced shield system. He lined up another shot, and fired...
Fortunately, he did not use full power, as Razgriz survived an unshielded attack. Razgriz then shot a plasma at Falon, however, instead of the ECM blocking it, the plasma flew into the air intake...
BOOM.
The XAF-72 blew up. The shield energy was not enough, and the ship was left a smoking husk. Razgriz jumped out and walked over to his teammates. Brandon could not make out what they were saying, but suddenly, all three turn toward the blown up prototype ship, then he heard a gunshot. Sarah fell down and David moved quickly towards her, yelling "NOOO!". Brandon started to run towards them, and//._>

Love it Ace :D it was ehhhhhhkcellent
I decided to release the next part today at some point since my last one was so late, just gonna check over it for quality ;)
Hey, Snake, you alright? Just you said that you'd upload the next part that same day, then you just disappeared. I don't mean to rush you, take all the time you need. I'm just curious as to why you just suddenly disappeared.
Would I be right in assuming complications with school?
No it boils down to my laptop had to be fixed because it wouldn't save my documents so it had to be reset to factory settings, I'm re-writing a load of stuff right now :|
Plus my girlfriend is going on holiday soon so I'm spending lots of time with her before she goes :3
I'll get it out soon, may take some time :P
EDIT- Whoa, whoa I'm being an idiot I could release it now so why don't I? :brickwall
I can be a idiot
PART 6.4 Pieces
As the storm intensifies with thunder and lightening thrashing the grey sky, David is full of tears and anger but cannot approach Falon due to the handgun pointing at his face. Sarah lies on the floor motionless and fears for her well-being grow stronger in everyone.
David: Falon? why are you doing this?
Falon: For my family!
Razgriz: What are you talking about? are your family involved with Crinale?
Falon: Its none of your business plank, what is your business now is your deaths!
David: We can't improve if you don't tell us the problem! why are you involved with Crinale?!! TELL ME!!
Falon: BECAUSE MY FAMILY WERE MEMBERS OF OVERTEL AND THEY WERE EXECUTED FOR BEING INVOLVED IN THE CORRUPTION! DO YOU KNOW HOW F***ING ANNOYED THAT MAKES ME?!!! HUMANITY IS CORRUPT FOR STILL HAVING THIS SYSTEM THEY RUN EVERYDAY! ITS TIME I CHANGED IT AND BRING JUSTICE TO MY FAMILY NAME!! YEARS OF SLANDERING HAVE DEPRESSED ME LONG ENOUGH!!! ALL YOU BELMENDO DECIPLES DESERVE TO DIE AS YOUR WORTHLESS S**T KISSING THE DEAD F***ER'S EVERY STEP LIKE ITS LIFE SUPPORT!! THERE IS NO PEACE IN THIS WORLD WHILE YOU EXIST!! WHY? BECAUSE YOU DON'T TAKE ACTION!! CRINALE WILL TAKE ACTION AND EXTERMINATE THE VERMIN LIKE YOU THAT PREVENT PROGRESSION OF HUMANITY!! I... WILL... END THE SUFFERING!! NOW SAY GOODBYE!!!!
Falon pulls down the hammer of his handgun and takes aim at David, in a last moment of desperation...
David: You don't have to kill us though! we can work on the issues we have that are invisible to us but not your eyes. Let us coincide peacefully and we can clear your family name! killing us will only make it worse
Falon: I F**KING KNOW THAT, I WILL MAKE PEOPLE FEAR ME TO KEEP THEM IN LINE. AS LONG AS YOU BREATH I CANNOT HAVE THIS POWER!! ENOUGH TALK!! GOODBYE YOU SON OF A ...............
Suddenly Falon is struck down by a pipe to the back of his head knocking him out stone cold, Tarah is right there with obvious signs of anger coursing through her blood. Razgriz snatches Falon's handgun, disarms it and throws it as far away as possible.
Razgriz: Its okay Tarah you did it, lets get you back to Brandon.
Razgriz slowly escorts the shaken Tarah to Angelus's garage, as he does David turns rapidly and runs to Sarah. Clinging on to life she gasps for breath, David breaks into tears.
David: Hang in there now, the ambulance is on its way.
Sarah: I..... can't..........
David: Don't you dare say that, you're gonna be fine sweetie! You'll be fine
Sarah: David......... its to.......
David: NO! the ambulance will be here just hang on there *rips piece of clothing* here this will stop the bleeding
Sarah: David!....... please....listen................ I ........................... lo....ve .......... you
With one last breath, Sarah lays silently in David's arms. The damage was to great and could not be fixed. The head engineer of Wyvern AR has passed away. David enthrals with anger and shouts to the heavens. Everyone still present then you knew that Falon had ended a life. Just then the rain subsides and a sliver of sunlight shines into the stadium. Silence falls like a curtain.
There we are, my take on the omega harbour race is over. The epic conclusion is now due.

Chapter 17/12: Attack Orders
14th November 2209
Old Jennter Enterprises HQ, Düsseldorf, Germany
16:43.54
Preparations ran more high within an excluded group around the Boviers. Not only tactics and plans had to be defined, technological preparations had to be made too.
The remaining team mostly returned to work eight-hour shifts for the company, albeit for many current tasks looked much different from their old work life.
Moving to Düsseldorf was becoming a permanent decision for when business would return to normal. Jonathan had very personal reasons for this, though far from nostalgia.
A notification interrupted Madison’s workflow in tidying up the offices in the Centre Section of the building.
'Call me ASAP -4'
“I’ll bring these to the storage” she excused herself from work while carrying a cardboard box of old promotional articles.
Arriving at the storage she wandered around a bit to check if the surveillance cameras were still inactive and if any other people occupied it at the time. To her luck neither case turned out true.
“16?” Madison asked when calling the number she used to communicate with Henry.
“What are they doing?” Henry only asked, not questioning who called him.
“I don’t know, there is a closer group around the Boviers and I am not in it” she reported.
“Try to get inside” he ordered “I thought you were close to them.”
Madison stayed silent on this remark.
“I’m sure you’ll find a way” he continued upon her silence “Right?”
She sighed “Yes, I can think of something.”
“Oh and you better think of ways how they…” he thought for a moment before continuing with a chuckle “get into an accident.”
Henry ended the call before even getting a sign of a confirmation from Madison.
An accident? The thought felt distant to Madison, until just the time of a blink later, it overwhelmed her.
“M….son?”
“...wak...up”
Once more Madison found herself gathering fragments of sensory input and waning memories while waking up in a hospital bed.
Ah, ok. I'm really sorry if I kinda rushed you there, I was just curious as to what happened.
Since Snake said that his take on Omega Harbour is done, [DATA EXPUNGED].
EDIT: Just re-read what Snake posted. I think I might integrate this 'conclusion' with FTA Part 5 when he uploads it. If he uploads it before this Friday (the 8th), then I will wait until Friday before uploading it.

I swear I imagined Falon yelling like a Dalek, or maybe even Davros at that point.

The Jennter Succession Conflict
Chapter 18/-1: White Silence
Pure white surrounded It. A vast infinity, so it would seem.
It was an environment completely different from where It first got a hold of Itself.
It couldn’t reason for Itself what led to the circumstances of Its existence. There has been no trace to any origin.
All It knew up till now was the noisy chaos of the Electrosphere.
But this was different.
It still dwelled within the Electrosphere, didn’t It?
“Hello?” an apparition appeared, perhaps it was imagination, or stray data getting caught in the same bright emptiness.
“I don’t remember having left this here…” the figure appeared blurry, but this wasn’t the own perception being incorrect, it was their own state of being in this place.
“Who are you?” It asked “And where are we?”
If anything this appearance took the shape of a woman, her details and features being undefined as a seemingly endless time for themself washed out the idea of their self-image.
“This is my little retreat” the woman answered “In case you got lost, I will help you return to the outside. However, I am curious.”
“I have seen a lot of stray AI and those who pretended to be during my time here now” she explained her bewilderment “But you seem so rough and undefined, yet clinging to a self-image.”
It stayed silent, though the woman observed that It tried to constitute a humanoid form.
“You obviously are too advanced for a simple processive AI, you are clearly meant to emulate human nature. But you don’t know how it works” she kept unveiling her thoughts.
“I don’t know what I am” It said.
The woman cleared her appearance, unveiling purple eyes and long, wavy brunette hair and appearing not older than in her early twenties.
“Would you mind spending some time with me? I may can help you” she requested “And it may help me.”
Hesitantly It agreed to whatever her plans may be.
“Beautiful” she said “Oh and, please call me Rebekka.”
Ok, I've completed the 3rd part of Angelus' point of view of Snake's race. I assure you that Faster Than Angels will return very soon.

Razgriz jumped out and walked over to his teammates. Brandon could not make out what they were saying, but suddenly, all three turn toward the blown up prototype ship, then he heard a gunshot. Sarah fell down and David moved quickly towards her, yelling "NOOO!". Brandon started to run towards them, and...
... well... nothing. He was pulled back by Gareth.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" He yelled. "Angelus doesn't deserve to lose you. You are a good man. Let's just watch what happens, alright?"
"Well, ok. It's not as if you're gonna let me go there, aren't you?" Brandon replied.
"Nope, not at all."
They watched as Falon walked towards them, still very much alive. David and Razgriz quarrelled with him, then Falon just started yelling, giving a long rant about Overtel and the progression of humanity. He got so angry, that at one point, he almost sounded like a Dalek from that old 20-21st century program, "Doctor Who".
"Brandon, there was one more reason as to why I had to hold you back." Gareth suddenly spoke
"Oh? What's that?"
"Notice anything different? Any people that should be here but aren't?"
Brandon looked around, then he realised
"YOU SH*T! Where's Tarah?!" He yelled
"Look near Falon" Gareth replied calmly.
True enough, he saw Tarah behind Falon.
"That's Tarah, what the hell's she doing there?!" As soon as he asked that, Tarah smashed Falon in the back of the head with a steel pipe, with a look of sheer anger on her face.
"Oof, don't remind me to piss her off!" Gareth said.
"Yeah, Tarah's got a bit of a high temper. She easily gets angry. However, when she's racing, in an AG craft, she's quiet, determined. It's like, to her, racing is second nature. She just enters this Zen-like mode. it would take a lot to disrupt her. Oh, hold on, here they come."
As they were talking, Tarah disarmed Falon's gun and threw it away. Razgriz then escorted her back to the garage.
"Tarah, what gives? You could have been killed!" Brandon told her.
"I had to, I'm sorry. Please don't be mad."
"It's fine. the main thing is that you aren't dead, however..." He looked over at David, still holding Sarah. "How's she coping, mate?" he asked Razgriz
"It's, umm... It's not looking good. I called an ambulance, don't worry. They're on their way." Razgriz replied
"Right. I just... I don't like seeing people die. Especially nice people, people who did nothing wrong to deserve that. Sarah is one of those people. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?" Came a scream from somewhere outside the garage, which dissolved into crying.
"Oh no. I fear the worst." Brandon said quietly. "Damnit, she didn't deserve that." he whispered. He sat down, then out loud, to Razgriz and Team Angelus, he said, "For the sake of Sarah, and all the other lives lost, we need to defeat Crinale, once and for all!"
"I know Wyvern and Jennter will help, as we always have!" Razgriz said. "It's all for one..."
"...AND ONE RIGHT IN THE F**KING GROIN!" Tarah angrily yelled.
That made Brandon yell "F**K!" in shock, then he lost balance and fell off his chair with an "OH, SH*T! *thud*"
Well that's the end of Angelus' point of view. Friday may mark the return of Faster Than Angels, we'll see.
