Shade leaned against the side of his midnight-blue YF-21, the Seraph Panzer, currently in fighter mode, and stared impatiently at the door to the Hangar Bay. Behind him, he could hear the engines of Ramirez's '21 spooling up in preparation for take-off. Though they'd fallen in disfavor because of their touchy Brain Direct Control Systems, which could have unpredictable effects if the pilot lost control of his or her emotions, Shade had found the '21s to be very effective in combat when flown by psychically gifted pilots such as himself, who were masters of controlling their own minds, and for months he'd lobbied Tseng for permission to purchase twenty of the experimental Valkries for Shade's elite Overmind Section. The craft were ready...but Ness in CIC was making them wait for one more person as backup...
Suddenly he heard Ness voice over the com. "Hey!--why're you still here!? Didn't your backup leave already??"
"Huh?"
"Somebody just phased out of this dimension...showed up like right next to the others..."
Baka..."Damnit, that must be him--alright, we're launching! Give us a vector!" He hopped into the cockpit, strapping on his helmet as the canopy came down. Thirty seconds later, bit he and Ramirez were off the ground, streaking high into the stratoshpere at near-escape velocity...before cutting their engines and falling slowly, nose-first, back to Earth.
Ness remained at his controls in CIC, tracking their decent.
"Projector ready...transfer in three....two..."
Shade and Ramirez saw a bight splash of white light, as the world around them melted away...to be replaced with another... And far below, their sensors picked up the pitched battle.
Shade spoke telepathically to Ramirez, his voice echoing strangely through the mental link.
"Heh...looks like those newbies are doing pretty good, after all," he said, grining as they continued to glide downward, picking up speed, the Valkiries' stealth systems making them invisible to this world'd primitive sensors. But we gotta end this quick--Paige is in bad shape, I can sense it even from up here..."
"How you wanna do this then? I don't think we should use the missles--they're too close together, our people might get caught in the blast."
"I know...that's why I'm going to sweep in first to distract 'em--and then you're going to Dampen 'em. One of Ramirez's piwers was electrokinesis, the psychic manipulation of electricity. He could channel it from electrical devices to create energy blasts, interfave with virtally any computer--and, in this case, completely shut down the flow of electricity, rendering any unsheilded device within his radius of effect useless.
Alright," he sent, mentally cracking his knuckles, Let's do this...
And with that Shade shoved his throttle forward, diving at an incredibly steep angle towards the battle. Ramirez waited five seconds, then followed, as a soft humm of mental energy building in his mind. Shade swept in first, fire from his forward lasers tearing through one of the suits as he swept past, his Valkirie buffeted by the explosion ot the enemy suit's ammunition.
As expected, the remaining suits all whirled to face the new threat--and completely ingoring Ramirez's craft. As he blasted over the battle field, he released the energy he'd been storing--and every electrical device in the area (except for the YF-21s themselves, which were sheilded) went dead...
