The long awaited Introduction

Who: Scott Yorah
When: Just as the Krylon robots attacked Jay and the rest on the planet.
Where: Firstly in space around the planet, secondly...well just read on.
 
 
"Yes! Got one of the fraggers!" Yorah  yelled as the Krylon fighter exploded in a mass of flame. Their Space Eagle flew through the wreckage bits of debris hitting of the cockpit.
The Krylon attack had been fast and deadly. Space Eagles were getting destroyed before they had even left the flight deck hanger. Yorah and Gomez had made it out in one of the first waves.
Laser fire shot across the front of their eagle, Krylon fighters and Eagles from the Relentless were engaged in deadly dogfights all around the SCV. A Krylon fighter came out of nowhere, headed straight towards them laser blazing. Gomez gripped the control column and swung it back, left and then a series of complicated manouveres that involved using the afterburner, and they were positioned behind the attacking Krylon. Yorah saw this oppertunity and fired the Eagle's weapons. The laser fire tore off one of the Krylon's engines. It went spiralling out of control and crashed into the side of one of the Krylon bombers. Yorah and Gomez shielded their eyes from the intense glare that follwed as all the munitions in the enemy ships fired at once. Gomez was good. Yorah saw that, perhaps even very good. Is he better than me? Yorah thought...Na, I can outfly him any day. Yorah had always took the piss out of Gomez, slagging his flying off, but now this show of skill and who it came from shook Yorah to the very core.
The blast had cleared the surrounding area off enemy fighters and thrown Yorah's eagle quite a bit from the battlefield. They could see the Relentless clearly and its size nearly filled the cockpits view even thought they were a kilometer away. Even further away the immense size of a Krylon baseship loomed. Gomez fired the boosters  and they sped back to the battle.
The Relentless turned about exposeing its side and heavy weapons battery to the Krylon Baseship. The guns opened up brillient flashes in the dark of space. Plooms of light followes the projectiles to their destinations. The baseship was struck in the middle and was ripped into two by the force of the blast.
Yorah and Gomez left rip a long yell of celebration, shaking each others shoulders and laughing.
"Ha ha we did it! Showed those Krylon bastards who not to mess wi..." Yorah's face fell from the jubilant figure it was to a state of shock and sorrow. The two halves of the Krylon ship righted themselves, the seperation of them from each other seeming to have not effect. They let loose a few missiles from a large cannon previously unseen, two orbs of alien, green light plunged towards the Relentless. They struck their target with deadly force. They passed straight through the Relentless stopping when they came out the other side and turning about going back through the ship in a different direction, tearing great flaming holes in the side of the ship. They continued their path of destruction down the lengh of the Battleship until they reached the engines. Space Eagles that were closer to the Relentless turned and watched horrified as it was torn apart, some of them were destroyed by the Krylons who took advantage of the Eagle's pause.
A great flash, and it was over. The force of the blast destroyed all the fighters and bombers that were fighting around it, Eagles and Krylons included. Yorah and Gomez were far enough away not to be affected.
Gomez stared at the place where the Relentless was. His voice quivering he said,"Its gone...we're the only ones left." Yorah didn't say anything. He looked at the scanner, the Krylons had found them and were obvioulsy looking to finish the job anfd erase the last piece of the Relentless from history.
"Smeg, 'mon Gomez we have to get out of here." Yorah said.
Gomez kept looking straight ahead.
"All gone." His voice lacking any expression.
"We need to go now it'll be no good if we die as well. Then who would be left to get revenge? Lets go." Yorah reached over and tried to take Gomez's hands off the controls. Gomez continued to grasp them, knuckles white.
"Gone."
The Krylons were now in firing distance, their weapons glowed green.
"Now Dammint!" Yorah wrentched the controls free of Gomez and turned the Eagle about. He fired the after burner and the Eagle picked up speed. The Krylons fired at them, green lasers glanced off the hull, making a deadly cracking noise. Yorah tried every evasive manouver he knew, but they were too many. He was keeping the worst laser fire off them but not all. They were doomed, that was pretty much it. Yorah almost let grief overcome him, but the voice in his head spoke up. What the hell kind of talk is that! Yorah never gives up and you know it. Now see that planet? head towards it. Yorah was a bit confused at being refered to in the third person in his own head but overcame it quick.
The planet was huge. Yorah din't see how he did not realise it before now. Yorah turned the boosters and the after burner up to full. The Krylons grew smaller behind them. Yes we're losing them! As the Krylon's begin to dissapear in the distance behind them one took a last shot at the Eagles. The two bolts of green lightning shot towards them. Yorah heard a crack and then a ripping noise, he checked over the cockpit window. The eagle's wing were missing.
"Smeggin' 'ell!" Yorah yelled as the Eagle plunged through the planet's atmosphere. Flames licked the side of the Eagles and the cockpit grew hotter as they broke into the planets atmosphere. Bits of the eagle were ripped off. The cockpit view window turned a pale blue sort of colour and seemed to be turning into a fluid. The temperature grew to the level that it started  to become painful. Gomez screamed, Yorah gripped the control colume tighter and gritted his teeth.
Their was a loud bang, Yorah closed his eyes expecting to be torn out his seat and burned in the upper atmosphere of the planet. When he wasn't he opened his eyes and saw blue skies. They made it through. The body of the Space Eagle tore through the sky, smoking a long plume behind them as they steaked towards the ground. Vast mountains sped under them. The ground grew closer and more meanacing. Yorah tried to pull up in vain forgetting that the Eagle lacked any wings. They hit the ground horizontally with an almighty crash and tore along the ground carving a great groove in it.
This happened to be right next to where Jay, Efof, Justin and the various aliens were standing.
The cockpit of the Eagle broke off from the body and bounced into the air spinning. At the top of its bounce it took off the head of the metal giant. The great thing scrabbled for where its head was with its massive claws. Then it froze and dropped to the ground with an almighty thud. The ground shook, knocking a few of the aliens off their feet or slimy appendages.
The Eagle cockpit came to a stop a few feet in front of Jay and the group. The last of the dirt and smoke tossed up by its arrival fell to the ground and the cockpit of the Eagle opened. Yorah stumbled out, got to his feet. Tried a few steps then fell. Yorah crawled for a bit then got up. He staggered over to the group, eyes unfousced and dazed. He managed to find himself in front of Jay. Yorah saw the rank slides on Jay's shoulders. A breif flash of recognition went across Yorah's dirty and confused face. He saluted saying,
"Lieutenent Scott Yorah reporting for duty sir." Before collapsing onto the ground unconcious.
 
 
OoC/ Hey guys, I know its a long post but I enjoyed writing it so I hope you enjoy reading it. If anyone wants to include Yorah or Gomez in their posts feel free, just as long as they don't die and their limbs stay pretty much undismembered lol. In case anyone missed it in my post Yorah is blacked out in front of the group with Jay and Justin and Gomez is out cold in the Space Eagle wreckage.
Cheers
Scotty /OoC
