Eleven: The Sequel of AlterMyth

A New Start

The Titan of Light.

Omega regarded the crystalline figure and scoffed. She spoke through the communication device in her arm and hailed her own beast - the massive battleship USS New Jersey moored at Tokyo Bay.

"Big J, this is Eagle-11. Fire mission on these coordinates! I repeat, fire mission on these coordinates!"

Omega quickly gave the battleship precise coordinates of the Titan of Light and heard the rumble of manmade thunder coming from the sea. The battleship acknowledged her. Then, one by one, the nine 16-inch naval guns of the USS New Jersey fired upon the Titan of Light in a steady rhythm with large armor-piercing shells - each one bigger than Omega herself.

The Titan of Light promptly shielded the cross-shaped sword with its crystalline body, protecting it at all costs. All nine shells found their marks and punched down on the Titan with incredible force.

Irys and Fauna promptly produced shields of crystal and petrified wood and held them over their allies. Calli, Gura and Kronii huddled together beneath the shield along with the gravely wounded Clover Gosling and the sleeping Mumei.

The shockwaves of the powerful blasts shook the earth and shook them all to the core.

Omega herself and J-chad, however, were unfazed by the tremors - even as J-chad's sunglasses slid down the bridge of her nose and as Omega's peaked cap flew from her head of white hair.

The two managers watched the handiwork of USS New Jersey proudly from behind the shields and cheered.

Only the sleeping Mumei in her unnatural slumber and the furious Sparrowhawk stayed silent during the cacophony of explosions.

When the dust had settled somewhat, Omega saw the Titan of Light staggered by the blasts. Its once pristine, crystalline body showed small cracks and its prisoner Yatagarasu stirred wildly within it.

All of a sudden, Omega's arm-mounted radio called her once more.

" Again! Yatagarasu says to do it again! " Sana's voice cried from the other end of the line, " I reestablished my telepathic link with him - I can break him out of there, but you'll need to soften up that beast just a little bit more! "

Omega smiled.

"You heard that Big J? Coordinates are good! Fire for effect - all at once!"

Just a few seconds later, the battleship fired its second salvo in record speed - a full broadside of nine guns trained on the same target. This time, Omega and J-chad huddled with their allies behind Irys' and Fauna's shields.

"Hold on tight ladies - we're gonna feel this one!" J-chad cried, "We're gonna send this bastard back to the Victorian A-"

Before J-chad could finish her sentence, nine shells struck the Titan of Light all at once and drowned out her voice. The earth-shattering barrage also drowned out the furious cries of the Titan as it bathed in fire. Cracks on the mighty beast's back snaked wildly with every strike, but it held firm.

Through the fire and the smoke, the Titan of Light held its ground against the severe punishment Omega dealt to it - but its woes were far from over.

Shortly after the second salvo, a transport helicopter from the USS Enterprise flew over the pinned-down Titan of Light. Amelia Watson, Ina'nis Ninomae and Sana Tsukumo looked down from the side doors. The helicopter radio crackled and broadcast Colonel Omega's voice.

" New Jersey's done her part. Her guns are gonna need time to cool down. " Omega relayed, " Now it's your turn to shine, Astrogirl! Take back your Guardian Spirit! "
