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//._>
