"Yes sir!" Hiroki said to Mikael before he departed to get repairs done on his armor.
Along the way there was an unexpected feeling that something was not right within him. His blood burned hot for battle against the Kuvexians and those that dared to bring death and destruction, but there was a simmer in one spot. Those Kuvexian worlds that were just destroyed were loaded with enemies who wanted to see Yamatai either enslaved or dead sure, but what about the children? Did they deserve to have their lives snuffed out despite being so young? His mind repeated itself telling him not to dwell on such matters for the time being. There was a war to win.
He found a technician and told him, "My thrusters are malfunctioning. They were flickering on and off."
It was swift and efficient work, and Hiroki's thrusters were back to green. He told the technician, "You have my thanks."
The technician produced a hearty grin as Hiroki departed. When it was time to get back into the action, Hiroki swapped his PAAR-40 for a Coherent Aether Rifle like Mikael. He joined his team outside the bay and his HUD picked up three torpedoes from Kuvexian starfighters that were poised to strike the side of the Yukikaze. With pinpoint accuracy, Hiroki made them detonate early by slicing into them with his CAR. He glanced up in time to dodge an aether blade from a Kuvexian in Navy Power Armor. Hiroki shook his head in disappointment at the Kuvexian, the thoughts of those planet destroyers used against the enemy lingering in the back of his mind and said, "You never should have come to Yamatai."
Hiroki and his Kuvexian counterpart took turns exchanging gunfire, with Hiroki exercising caution in not getting into the line of fire of the Yukikaze's weapons. The brief firefight ended with Hiroki slicing off the Kuvexian's right leg with his CAR. The Kuvexian floated motionlessly in space, and beyond its corpse Hiroki could see a Kuvexian Troop Transport approaching the Yukikaze. He realized that those brave fools were going to board the ship, and he needed to stop it. Hiroki put his thrusters on full power and launched himself toward the transport.
The transport's weaponry was minimal, but no less dangerous. It fired beams of aetherial energy at Hiroki, who evaded them as he closed in. When he was at the vessel's side, he used his CAR to carve out and destroy both engines of the transport. Due to the lack of gravity in space, the transport kept moving toward Hiroki's home ship. The vessel had to be stopped, or the consequences could be catastrophic.
Hiroki zipped around to the bridge where the crew had shocked and surprised expressions that turned to fear and panic as the beam from his weapon tore through the window and extended to the back of the command room. Most of the Kuvexians piloting the ship were sucked out into the unforgiving vacuum of space where they suffocated and died. The luckier ones held onto bolted down chairs and tables as they waited for the blast doors to close. Fortune would not favor them for long however as Hiroki entered through the destroyed window just seconds before metallic shutters sealed off the vacuum of space. A quick-thinking Kuvexian smashed a button, causing an alarm to blare before he was eliminated by Hiroki's forearm blasters.
The other surviving Kuvexians on the bridge fired pistols at Hiroki, but they too would perish at the hands of the skilled Giretsu. Now that the bridge was clear, Hiroki raced to what he believed to be the pilot's chair. The controls were untouched by the beam as he had hoped, but it was a tad difficult to figure out. For a moment he regretted killing the entire bridge crew, but there was little time to figure out another solution. He examined the piloting controls for a second before he decided to hope for the best and pressed a lower section on the console.
He felt a brief rock and then the vessel descend at a slight downward angle. A hiss was heard behind him followed by the door open revealing several armored Kuvexians, no doubt the boarding party. The lead trooper pointed at Hiroki and screamed something before they all opened fire. Hiroki activated his Mindy's CFS and smashed the piloting controls. A split second later he cut open the emergency shutters and he used the momentum to get sucked out into the vacuum of space along with the other enemy soldiers who were quickly finished off by another CAR beam.
Hiroki watched the troop transport fly downward into the uncaring abyss for a moment before he turned his attention back to the battle at large. There were still enemies that would threaten the Yukikaze.
