For generations the people of Garrick have lived in peace, facing only scattered skirmishes with various alien raiders on the edge of their galaxy. Until now. A fleet of hostile starships has hyperspaced into the middle of their territory, decimating most of the Garrick fleet. The enemy ships seem oddly similar to those of the Garricks and yet different at the same time. Into this battle flies ace fighter pilot Wallace West in his custom built Flash, the fastest fighter in the known Universe. Until the hotshot invader Walter West showed up in his equally fast and deadly Dark Flash.
In a last ditch attempt to rid themselves of the invaders, the Garricks send their flagship Barry and Wallace at the head of two hundred fighters to take on the enemy flagship Allen led by Walter.
Hoping to catch the nefarious invaders by surprise, the Barry hyperspaces into the middle of an Asteroid mining station that the invaders have just finished bombing, scrambling their fighters and praying their gambit pays off.

**It seems that Walter is one of the few pilots who have not been caught surprised by the sudden flanking maneuvar of the warship. Having done basically the same thing to the territory mere minutes ago, he was on the lookout for bold retaliation.
Walter ducked his nimble fighter behind one of the boulders, only to engage the hyperdrives in a quick burst behind it, building up speed. He shotguns out around the asteroid, scanning the parameters of space, getting his bearings. Its seems as if he's looking for something...or someone...**
"Where is it? Where is that fighter? How dare they say he can challenge me?!?!"

Some days...
Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of the Cryostasis tube."Where did it go? Damn it, someone answer me!" Like today, for instance...
Who am I? My name is Wally West. I pilot  The Fastest Ship in Space!
And I'm in trouble...In the meteor-filled starfield of space, a scarlet and gold ship skims underneath the belly of the flagship "Barry." In it, a pilot fiddles with the golden wing-like communicator sticking in his ear."Can anyone hear me? I've disembarked from the Barry, and I am beginning to scan for signs of any of the invaders..." I don't know who these guys are, or why they came, but they picked the WRONG people to mess with...The ship skims past one particularily large meteor, it's shadow tracing across the boulder's rocky, uneven exterior."Bored already. Let's just blast the hell outta them and go home."

**Walter is slipping into the Zone, his situation awareness increasing subconciously, such as happens to all ace pilots. Walter has an edge though, an intense training he went through in the Speed Force corp helps him to concentrate, and markedly improves his reflexes and control over his ship.
He takes mental notes as he flies. Wingmen forming on him, one port, one starboard. Explosions already as the more bold, and less intelligent fighters from both sides begin taking potshots from long range.
Then, he crests a ridge over the asteroid.**
"There! That has to be it!"
**He keys his mic, ordering his wingmen to handle the wingman on the scarlet ships starboard side. He speeds up, moving his group's formation from a line into an arrow. He always takes point. He ready's to fire, when the scarlet ship's wingman drops back hard, slamming on the brakes.
Not blinking an eye, he draws a bead, and fires on the wingman's tail.**

*Raven had been dubious about Walter's ploy but he was her squad leader and her lover, so she did as he asked. She morphed her custom built fighter with Contraxian metamorphasis engines into an asteroid and waited for the Garrick ships to fly past her on their raid against her fellow pilots, ready to tear into them from behind in a surprise assault with her pride and joy, the Mystique. She taps her radio on and contacts Walter.*
They took the bait babe, permission to commence assault requested.

~ Gene you read me? ~
Com link's perfectly fine Rick.
~ How's the exosuit holding up? ~
Holding up? This is great! I feel like I could destroy a planet with this thing!
~ Yeah well don't get cocky, for the Barry to send a distress call things have to be worse than you could imagine ~
Radars are telling me I'm getting near the battlezone...
~ Hope the Marvel suit's fast enough to keep up with those ships... ~
I think lightspeed should keep me in the game stare , now stop worrying I'm in!
~ Give'em hell Gene. ~

BOOOOM!!!!
"DAMN IT! I'M HIT! Mayday! Mayday! This is Flash pilot Wally West, requesting-"
Sparks shooting out of the control panel of his ship distract Wally, and a sudden shrieking sound from his earpiece cause him to throw it to the ground.
"Great. Communications are out."
Which means...I'm flying out here alone.
With what looks like a whole Squadron of the enemy on my tail. Just great...
Taking evasive action, The Flash barrel rolls sharply starboard, using the nearby meteor as cover from the formation bearing down on him. One hand on the control stick, Wally uses his other hand to pull a lever, sending fire-dampening foam down on the sparking panel.
Well, at least I won't be crispy-fried by my own machinery...But I have to figure out some way to even the odds until help comes.
IF help comes...
The ship rights itself, on the dark side of the meteor. Wally slows down the propulsion and and powers down...
"Venting plasma...and let's eject that starboard stabilizer. It's not doing any good anymore...Get as much junk out there as possible."
Moving at impulse, the enemy ships round the horizon of the meteor, sighting the seemingly dead, disabled ship floating in space.
Come one...I'm dead. Come and get a nice...close...look.

**Walter winces as the Scarlet Ship somehow intercepted the blast he aimed at the Ship's wingman. He had never seen a maneuvar so quick, or so blatantly dangerous before.
By the time the thought had crossed his mind, the Scarlet Ship had thrown itself into an impossibly angled barrel roll, and disappeared behind the asteriod Walter himself had used for cover seconds ago.
He cut his engines to half power, and started scanning the surface for sparks or fire or signs of smoke.**
"Dammit, where did...huh?"
**In his peripheral vison a star winked out.**
WHAM!
**He barely avoided a cockpit-on collission with a huge hunk of machinery, had to have been jettisoned from the Scarlet Ship. As it was, his canopy was cracked, and the atmosphere inside was leaking out.
His wingmen streaked on, the glory sharks smelling blood.
He cut power to his engines, and sealed his enviro-suit. He began rerouting power from the atmosphere unit and the gravity unit to the Dark Flash's nano-repair system. He then keyed the suit's internal mic.**
"Wait there R. Something here is up. They may have more reinforcements inbound from the territory."
**He then reintroduced power to the engines slowly, and made after the Scarlet Ship, now far behind his wingmen.**

~ Gene? there's something wrong with that meteor over there.. ~
*Stops blasting nearby red and silver ships and looks at it*
What is it?
~ It's a little too... organic to be a rock from what the radars tell me and it's sending transmissions to the enemy vessels. Mind "checking it out" ~
My pleasure..
*Gains as much acceleration as he can and lands a devastating punch on the "meteorite"*

(( stare seriously... ))
*Rocked by the hit, Raven spins her ship furiously and unloads a pair of photon torpedoes on her assailant, shifting back into a fighter and allocating all her shield power to the front of the ship.*

"Come on, come on in for a NICE...CLOSE...look..."
If I had the chance, I'd sit down with these guys and figure out just what the heck got stuck in their tailpipes that they're so intent on an invasion.
Aw, who am I kidding? I barely have enough of an attention span to sit through debriefing.
The Dark ship's two wingmen fly forward, with lazer cannons powering up as they near the seemingly burnt-out hulk of The Flash.
"Come on, come on, comeoncomeoncomeon-"
Suddenly, an explosion rocks an asteroid several hundred meters away, the sheer force of the attack rippling through the airless space!
Great. The Genis must have arrived. That's right, you're distracted-
With the pilots obviously distracted, suddenly The Flash powers up! At a nearly point-blank range, the lazer cannons fire-once-TWICE!
BAM!
KRAKOW!
YYYYYEEEAAAAH~!
The two Wingmen ships, sparks flashing off and on, displaying the faces of the men piloting them in brief flashes, barrel off to the sides, rendered utterly useless from the attack.
"Speed and precision, boys..."
They're disabled. I coulda taken them out....
But I wasn't programmed that way.
I mean, raised. Raised that way.
Now fully powered up, The Flash zips forward, charging the dark silver and red ship that was obviously the point man of the formation...
"Looks like you're a little smarter then your cohorts. "
Damn, controls are still favoring port...
"Let's see how you handle a full-on assault in the Fastest Ship in Space!"
With lazer cannons blazing, The Flash speeds forward!

* A recent nova had gone unnoticed by the inhabitants of Garrick. Such stellar occurances have become almost commonplace in this sector. They went about their daily lives after enjoying a brief fireworks show.
That doesn't mean the show was over.
Propelled by the sudden gravitational release, the debris spinning along in the cosmic nebula known as Orions belt are pushed off of their trajectory and have taken on a new destination. They are plentiful, numering perhaps in the thousands, and they bring with them massive radiation and electromagnetic disturbances.*
