"well then, if you seek the true Shards of Starlight...then I suggest you might want to fix that. Only when you look at what is, isn't, and what could be will you find what you seek." Cicero walked next to the Operator and looked into the mirror with her. "If you seek the Shards..." Suddenly, everything returned to as it was back on Alcyon, by the forest. The only thing left of Cicero was his last words. "Wake up..."

When John went up in the Gunship, Aion turned back to the squad leader of the NGO. "Oh It's over alright..." With a flick of his wrist, he readjusted his grip on his broadsword. "Over for you." In a sweep he swung out another grenade that he had been cooking for three seconds of the five set.
One second, the grenade left his hand and had traveled a quarter of the distance. Aion focused the force field along his sword and held it like a shield.
Two seconds, the grenade was a meter away from the squad leader who began to fire.
Click.
BANG.
Aion braced against the blast as his focused shield and sword took the brunt of both the gunfire and explosion. The tanks then took their turn, but Aion was one step ahead. "JOE, NOW!"
"THREE!"
Everyone set into motion. The Hunters in the north building launched their attack on the NGO infantry, Ian, Tom, Nic, and Jonny picked off any that were flushed out.
Joe, however came barreling out the south door vaulting over the barricade to the east with his BEHEMOTH armed. He dropped to a knee and steadied the massive gun as Aura energy focused on the end of the barrel. "FOR VENTURIA!"
Back-draft vents sprung open on the cannon and then, a split second later, a massive laser of raw energy ripped forward, crashing into the front left end of one tank and the back right of the other, causing them to turn towards each other as they fired their rounds.
Both tanks went up in flames from their rounds hit the other.
In a hearty pull, Joe ejected the Aura core of his cannon as he took another from his bag and loaded it in. "Let's see ya pull that one off, chumps! Ha Ha!"
"Good shot, Joe!" Aion shouted back to his friend.
Joe ran up to him and primed the Gatling gun mode of his cannon. "Oi, I have my moments! And it looks like this force is starting to retreat on this side."
"Right, now to clean up the west. Also load in some AA rounds in your little toy and help Chief out."
"Woah, wait a min, mate...you're letting...?"
"Let them run. I'll settle my score later."
"Right." As Joe finished the conversation, the two ran back to the west front.

Cortana sighed at Navarre and looked at Mara.
"Follow my lead. When he get's blown away, take him out.", Cortana said to Mara.
After speaking to Mara, Cortana casually approached Navarre and swung the Gravity Hammer. As it reached near Nevarre, a huge wave of gravitational energy surged towards Nevarre. If he was caught in the wave, then he would have been seriously injured and blown back through the wall behind him. Cortana had a feeling that Nevarre was going to try and dodge the ave, and maybe even try to counterattack, so she readied herself accordingly.

While the battle below was raging, John was up in the sky, firing at the gunships around him. He only had control over the heavy canon in the front, but it was more than enough to accomplish what John needed. While John flew up, he opened fire from behind and above one of the gunships. The heavy Aura canon slammed into the other gunship's shields and took chunk after chunk away from the other gunship's shields. After a couple seconds, the other gunship turned around and opened fire on John with their top turret. John saw the blasts speeding towards him and quickly strafed the gunship, keeping out of the way of the other gunship's Aura fire. This alerted all the other gunships, but John didn't really care. He knew that this would happen, but it was a risk he was willing to take.
Two seconds passed and the other ships opened fire from above and to John's flanks. Seeing this, John took evasive maneuvers and flew towards his current target while he fired. The heavy machinegun turret on the top shot at John and it's Aura bullets slammed into his ship. Despite this, John still flew flew into the other gunship and skidded against its shields, causing even more damage to it and his own ship's shields. The impact destroyed the other ship's shields and shredded the top turret off of the top of the craft. With that gone, John slammed the controls to the side and spun the gunship around, firing off another two blasts from his Aura canon. The two blasts crashed right into the left rotor of the enemy ship, blowing it up and causing it to spin out of control. The ship then fell to the ground, where it crashed into the ground below.
John took out the gunship, but he wasn't out of the woods yet. There were still three gunships to go, and his shields were at 60%. Seeing that he would need time to recover, John set the ship's thrusters to full power and flew away from the other gunships, checking the ship's radar for bullets and canon blasts. John saw that he was getting attacked from behind, and abruptly increased his altitude, minimizing how much firepower he had to contend with.
John took this opportunity to quickly look over the ship's recharge rate and saw that after ten seconds, the shields only increased by .4%.
"Dammit!", John said, cursing at how primitive this timeline's shielding technology was.
Instead of waiting for the shields to charge, John used what he learned from Cortana and began to channel his suit's energy into the ship itself, speeding up the charging process. As soon as the process was complete, John's armor systems deactivated one by one until only the base systems were active. His suit's shields were down, but now John would be able to charge the gunship's shields faster than before. John continued to dodge the other gunships' fire, and after ten seconds of charging, the ship's shields increased by 20%. John looked at the shield's status and saw that it was now at 80.4%, much more satisfactory than it's original charging time.
John continued to evade the other ships, barely dodging the blasts, but luckily not getting hit. After the shields fully charged, John spun the ship around and opened fire once again. The gunship he was currently targeting was below him, but it managed to dodge his attack. To his side, one of the gunships flew up beside him and was about to open fire. John noticed the gunship on his ship's radar, and hit the throttle, rocketing him out of the way of the incoming torrent of Aurafire. As soon as John got far enough away, he spun the ship around and let off two blasts from his heavy Aura canon, hitting the pursuing ship. The other two gunships continued to fire at John as they raised to his altitude, but John simply kept increasing it, staying out of the way of their Aurafire. His current target received another shot, but dodged the second blast. If only John had the other weapons on this gunship at his disposal, he would be able to quickly kill every gunship in the sky.
While John flew out of the way of another blast, two of the heavy Aura machineguns' fire connected with John's ship, dealing 20% damage to the shields. John was only hit with five Aura bullets, but each bullet took 4% away from the shields keeping John alive. John gritted his teeth at the damage and moved his ship out of the way, trying to dodge the severe damage of the enemy's weapons. John barely avoided a line of Aurafire and continued to dodge and fire at the enemy ships.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Nhiome used the last of the metal at his disposal and examined his work. It was not up to the standards he wanted, but he didn't have enough resources at hand. Well, it would hold at least. Nhiome then went back in, to the engines, and began splicing and repairing the circuits. He inserted the keystone like he would a normal aura crystal and as Dalia said, it worked, or at least it seemed to. Now to put it to the test.
(I realised I forgot to say Nhiome picked up the keystone on his way out ._. , for the sake of convenience, let's just assume he did XD)
Nhiome started up the systems, some remained dormant, but those were mainly the less important systems from which he had spliced the circuits from to fix the more important ones like life support. He looked back towards where he had exited from the place where he had found the keystone. Dalia said she would be fine, this is probably not the first time she fell in some place before anyway, she will probably find a way out. He turned back to the console and activated the thrusters, sending the ship up the hole it had fallen through. He then encountered the problem of the earlier damage caused by him, now blocking his exit. This place is supposed to be abandoned anyway, this should be fine.
Using the projectile cannon, he fired explosive rounds at one spot in the ceiling a distance away, until he finally carved a path to the surface. He guided the ship out and set a course for his base, then setting the thrusters to full output. The faster he got back, the lesser the chance he would need to scrap KuroiKaze.

Now that Cortana had collected some data on Navarre's abilities, she could put a little more effort into attacking him. She didn't have much, but the longer they would fight, the more data Cortana would be able to collect, and the better odds she would have in hitting him with the deadly Gravity Hammer. Cortana performed a horizontal strike last time, so this time she would use a vertical one, to see Navarre's reaction. She would then be able to calculate his reaction time, center of gravity, and ability to shift his center of gravity.
Cortana charged at him this time and swung the Gravity Hammer downwards. As soon as it got within range, Cortana activated the Hammer, causing a wave of energy to surge out of the bludgeon and create a loud booming noise.

After ten more seconds of dodging incoming fire and retaliating, John's shields were back to full power, while one of the Gunships were almost unshielded. With one final shot from the heavy Aura cannon, the enemy gunship's shields broke down and was hit by a third Aura blast, ripping through the top of the craft. The enemy craft's Aura systems went offline from the extensive damage and went off line, causing the gunship to plummet to the ground.
(Much better.), John thought to himself as he turned his attention to the other gunships.
As John spun his gunship around, he was hit by a torrent of heavy Aura machinegun fire. John quickly increased his altitude above his enemies, but his shields were quickly shredded from the Aura bullets. The bullets ripped through the hull of the gunship, and the ship's HUD flickered out. Luckily, none of the major systems were damaged, but John was now flying without any information about his altitude, shield gauge, and radar from the ship's HUD. His armor's HUD was out, due to him channeling power to the gunship's shields, but he could change his suit's output, sacrificing the shield's charging speed for more information. Seeing no other alternative, John lowered the output from his suit's energy transfer. His suit's HUD flickered to life, and after configuring it, John was able to view the ship's shield gauge, radar, and altitude, all from his helmet.
Now that John was no longer flying blind, he now had to escape from the other gunships before they could blow him out of the sky. While the gunships flew up to greet him with Arua bullets, John hit one of the gunships two more times, then increased his ship's speed to its maximum setting, dodging the lines of heavy Aura machinegun fire in the sky.

When the energy wave struck, it shattered the shields and he used the bright light caused by the shattering shield to duck in to sweep Cortana's legs in an attempt to trip her. Regardless of the results he would have to move fast to put a safe distance between them. A wall of the room provided a point that Navarre could gain an advantage...
