Not-so-Clear day.

Exiting the Dagger from the launching bay, I fly straight at one of the FTL bays. Landing a tick later, to the surprise of some Blades, I walk up to the control panel, placing my hand on it.

"Sir Diego? What's going on?" One asks me.
Voltron, do the thing.

Response: Affirmative.

"Answer: Commander Kolivan has received a message that a Blades of Marmora base has been attacked. User will use Faster Than Light transport bay to teleport to corresponding planet and eliminate Galran forces." Voltron explains.

"What? Which base? And you can't go on your own!" The Blade replies.

"Counterpoint: User has done so before. Continuation: Base Bega Ganna."

"Bega Ganna? The Burrowgaia base? Why would the Galra occupy that planet?"

"Response: Playing data file:The galra must be trying to strengthen their hold on the galaxy." Voltron says, replaying what Kolivan said three doboshes ago.

"Of course. Do you want us to transport you there?" The Blade asks.

"Answer: No need. We can do it."
Something's wrong. I can't lock on to Bega Ganna. I think, trying for the fourth time.

Recommendation: Allow me.
Knock yourself out.

…
Warning: Unknown signal is interfering with transport aperture. Cannot materialize near Burrowgaia.

~~How close can you get?~~ I ask.

Calculation: Five parsecs.
That will do.

Notice: Location aperture stable. Transportation is a go.
Gotcha. I think, stepping into the bay.

"Good luck, sir Diego!" The Blade says as I am covered in white energy. I salute him as I vanish.

(Galran space)

I reappear, floating in space.

~~Which way?~~ I ask.

Answer: Directly backwards.

~~Thanks.~~ I blast off, heading straight for the planet in the distance. A few ticks later, I arrive to see a round, mostly gray and brown planet, surrounded by a fleet of large and small ships.

Voltron, call it.

Response: Scanning. Scan complete. Planet appears to be in constant state of meteorological flux, causing constant storms and intense weather phenomena. Planet is surrounded by approximately two Galran fleets.
Only two?

Continuation: Planet appears to have been occupied recently but Galra bases have been placed. Bases appear to possess large scale Ground To Space cannons, allowing for ultra long range destruction of enemy forces.

~~How many bases?~~ I ask, expecting dozens.

Response: Six.

~~Six? Only six?~~

Response: Affirmative. Warning: Reflection array detected above orbit.

~~That explains it. With a Reflection array, they can attack from almost any direction.~~ I say, beginning to fly closer.

Response: Affirmative. Warning: Incoming attack.

~~I see it!~~ I say, dodging the massive beam coming at me. The fleet begins firing, raining lasers in my direction. I raise my Bayard, forming my energy shield. Suddenly, the barrage stops, three more massive beams coming straight at me. I dodge two of them, blocking the last one. I blast forward again, approaching a ship. Sentinel ships start swarming towards me, blasting me from all sides.

The lasers bounce off, hitting a bunch of the small ships and leaving me undamaged.
I almost forgot about that!

Six beams of purple death all converge on me, all striking me at the same time. I suddenly become a star as rays of quintessence bounce off me and strike dozens of ships.

~~Cool!~~ I shout, not feeling any pain. The beams now fully refracted away from me, I charge at one of the ships, energy blade in hand.

~~Let's show them what~~ we can do! I shout, power flowing through me. I slash at the ship in front of me in a downward arc, slicing it in two. Another two beams come racing at me, plowing through the remains of the ship and causing a huge explosion.
What are they doing?! That was their own- whoa!

I get blown back by the shockwave, launching me into a kamikaze rush of sentinel ships. All of them explode, sticky bombs adding to the explosion.
Gah. Looks like I can't reflect explosions.

Notice: You can block them. Voltron says as I destroy another convoy of ships with a slash.

~~Thanks.~~ I respond. ~~Now, let's teach these guys a~~ LESSON! I shout, my Bayard glowing white with my determination. I charge at another large ship, the Ion cannon on top pointing straight at me. It fires, the beam bouncing off my body and barely slowing me down.

Progression drive level: 50%

I slash down with my Bayard, the shaft of my weapon not even stopping as it rips through the particle barrier around the Ion cannon, continuing to cut the Ion cannon in two and severely damage the ship. Four beams converge on the ship, destroying it and causing it to explode.

~~Gah! What are they doing, trying to blow me up with their own ships?!~~ I exclaim.

Response: Most likely. Recommended course of action: Target GTS bases and Reflection array.

~~Good idea!~~ I shout, weapon in hand and jets glowing. Another beam rains down on me. I thrust the tip of my weapon forward, charging through the beam until I hit something solid. I slash downwards, heavily damaging the reflective plate. Three more beams converge on me.
They just don't learn. I think as I stab the point of my weapon into the plate beneath me, catapulting it at the beams, letting them destroy their own technology.

I fly straight at the planet, ignoring the lasers bouncing off me as I enter the atmosphere.

~~Voltron. Find the GTS's.~~

Response: Understood. Scanning… bases found.

~~Ten four.~~ I say, flying straight at the closest base. In barely any time, I start getting shot at by ground troops, the large donut shaped base also still firing at me. Piercing through one of the shots, I hook a small ship with the back of my weapon, throwing it at the ship like a sack of potatoes. It explodes against the side as I follow through, piercing through the metal like paper and going to town on the mechanisms inside.

Eventually, I find the core as the base charges up for another shot. Stabbing the core, I watch as the energy builds, quickly reaching critical levels. Flying out the hole in the center, I watch as the base explodes in purple.

~~One down, five to go. Let's do this!~~

ENGAGE.

Diego grows to his full size, now towering into the sky. He flies to the next base, another ship directly behind him. The base fires at Diego.

DIVIDE.

Diego splits in two, straight down the middle, letting the blast destroy the ship behind him. The two halves each raise their arms at the base, firing lasers down on it. The base explodes just like the last as Diego makes his way to the next, reforming back together. Two blasts fall on Diego again, simply reflecting back up.

Deciding to finish this now, Diego locks on to all four remaining bases, forming his shoulder cannon. He fires dozens of beams, all traveling to four different locations. Ships begin appearing in the skies, raining purple lasers down on him.

Engage Quintessence engine.

Facing his body upwards, Diego absorbs all the lasers, pulling the ships closer as he does. In response, the ships stop firing, now trying to get away.

DIVIDE.

DISCHARGE.

Splitting into hundreds of pieces, Diego unleashes all the quintessence he absorbed, disintegrating the ships.

Remaining forces: Three low class battleships. Target: Reflection array.

All the pieces scatter into the sky, targeting the irritating pieces of technology as well as any Galra ship. In simple doboshes, the Galran force is completely destroyed. Reforming together, Diego's entire body glows as he shrinks.

Disengage.

Phew. Hah. That… actually tired me out. Sheesh, I feel like I just ran a marathon. Voltron, how's my power?

Response: 34%.

~~34? No wonder I feel tired. Will I be able to recharge?~~

Response: Affirmative. Quintessence amplification recommended.

~~Right. Let's go find a nice clearing then.~~
