….
“Power up the engines! Cut the power lines to the city and activate the secondary facility! Tonight we are going for a hunt!” I scream while I hit a few buttons on the console next to me.
“B..But your majesty! Nothing is tested! And we haven't installed some of the engines yet!” A technician with a red face complains to me.
“I don't care! I over-dimensioned the whole thing anyway! They are wrecking my city! Either this thing flies tonight or it doesn't!” A big chair is formed out of a magical circle in the centre of the room and I jump into it.
Everyone inside the room becomes hectic.
“Engines are powering up!” “Deploying the anti gravity field!” “Shields are active.”
“The mountain is still above us. We can't clear all the rock above us.”
“Shields to full energy and blow it up!” I smile at them and one of the officers flips a switch.
Everything shakes, but it's manageable. I hear a low rumbling sound. “The rock is out of the way sir.” The officer gives me a savage grin. Those military people sure like it to blow up stuff.
“Take us up.”-Me
The floor bucks a little. “It seems we are stuck.” A technician informs me. “Full energy to the engines! We are behind the schedule!” You want to tell me that a few rocks are stopping me from saving my city?
The floor bucks again while I can hear a screeching sound and stops suddenly. “We are free! We are flying!” The workers and technicians start to cheer while I press a button on my chair to get a better view on the big screen.
Under us is the hollow shell of the mountain, which once harboured my facility. “Hrm. Since this isn't a research facility any more. This is now officially called the Nomad Fortress Midpoint.”

A part of the mountain crumbles and caves in at my words. I hid this ship inside the mountain while it was built.
“Mwhaha! Behold! 5200 metres long. Six million tons of steel! Enough fire power to roast an average army within seconds! Loaded with tactical warheads, particle cannons and plasma weapons. Three layers of independent shield spells, each powered by it's own cold fusion reactor! On board repair facilities and the latest drone-tec to go with it. Anti-Gravity propulsion and teleportation systems. Everything has at least three substitute systems! You could blow two thirds of this ship to hell and it would still keep coming at you!” -Me
“Head us towards the city and redirect the full energy output to the shield and weapon systems. Activate the drones and give me an outward view.” I grin while the screen switches to a flying monster of a battleship.
“Mwahahaha! My new toy looks cool! Time to test it on those fools!”
Magical runes and circles are glowing in blue and red on the hull. The whole thing looks like a huge space ship with weaponry facing into every direction, but there are no visible engines.
“Arrival in five minutes!” -Engineer
“Take us higher. I want a good angle to pound them into the ground.” -Me
“No way! You rebuild one of those monsters on this world!? Are you insane?” Celes looks at me with a shocked face. She seems to remember the best weapon of my followers. They build dozens of those things back in our old world. And they were the reason for which Celes entered that holy war herself.
“No need to fear anything. Who do you think gave them the blueprints?” I smirk at her.
“We are under fire sir! Deploying defence.” -Technician
Seven balls of white light are coming into our direction. But they are countered by seven smaller blue energy sparks and explode early. “It looks like they are trying to use their artillery to take us down? That's good.”

“I don't see what's good about it!” Arthur holds himself upright on a console while the bridge is shaken by the shock-waves.
“If they are shooting at us, they can't shoot at my city.” I smile at him. Then I look into Celes direction, who is holding the screaming baby. “Give me Aengus, he has some work to do!”
“Counter attacking the enemy artillery!” A technician informs us and seven lances of red energy stab into the dark city under us.
She reluctantly gives me my screaming son and I hold him in front of me. “No need to cry. They blew your birthday, but we are going to punish them see? Look, nice red dots.”
I show a tactical projection on a smaller touch-screen to my son. “Activate the weapons and lock them onto the enemy units. I want the fire control on my station.”
“Done sir!” -Technician
“See Aengus? Evil red dot! Touch!” I hold the small touch-screen in front of my son and demonstrate it by touching one of the smaller red dots with my finger.
A ray of energy lances down into the city and the red dot disappears from the screen. “See, Aengus? Funny, isn't it?”
Aengus stops screaming to pat the big red dot in the central park curiously with his flat hand. A ball of blue energy howls down to the city and wipes the park off the map.
“That's my son! Taking out the enemy's command centre with his first strike! I thought I would let them struggle for a while, but Aengus already knows that it's best to lop off the enemy's head first!” I smile while a small mushroom cloud rises from the park. But then I notice that everyone looks at me with pale faces.
“Hrm. Fire at will. Just use precision strikes from now on.” -Me
Celes takes Aengus back from my lap. “Don't teach him strange things that early! I don't know what to do if he copies that strange grin from you.”
Other rays of red energy strike down into the darkness. After a minute of continuous firing the red dots are all gone.
Everyone stares in awe at the hell, which we let loose on those backstabbers.
“A call from the city. It's Drem your majesty.” -Officer
I flip a switch on my chair and Drem's face fills the screen. “I am at the edge of the city with a few troops and some big animals from the army. I hope the end of the light-show means we won sir?”
“Hohoho. Sure as hell we won! I will get Arthur and Nicosar down to you in a minute. How does the situation look from down there?” -Me
Drem snorts. “From what I heard like ten thousand terrorists with heavy weapons ran through the city, while shooting at everything that moved! But at least they didn't concern themselves with any civil installations or areas. Those generals aren't really talking to me. I am not important enough.”
“I understand, we are on our way. Technician, teleport Arthur to Drem's location. Arthur, we need your guys to take care of the city. I will teleport everyone down there, as soon as it is safe again. And then we will tell them our opinion of their little summoning ritual!” -Me
A guy at the back of the room nods. “Please stand straight and don't move for a second your majesty. That makes it easier.”
“Is this dangerous?” Arthur asks with a concerned look.
“No... I just never did this before.” The technician presses a button and Arthur vanishes and reappears on the screen behind Drem. “Perfect.”
I nod and turn to the guy at the engine control. “New course! North! We are going to the City of Seria to crack an egg.”
