Shoot down anything approaching!” you shout telepathically before ending the link, reaching down and drawing your saber. The brilliant superheated blade hisses to life, you drawing it back then thrusting for the box. If anything can penetrate that shield, it's your blade. But, as it swings forward, the ship lurches at the last second, stealing your balance and causing your strike to not hit true, glancing off the side instead of a direct hit. Causing you to drive the weapon into the wall where you'd slashed earlier, burning through more metal. The cables again lash out, once again trying to bind you. But you jerk the weapon free, slashing indiscriminately and backpedaling towards the door.
“All hail Lord Darkseid.” the emergency voice continues, locking the door behind you right as you reach it. But that's no barrier, you reaching out and jerking it open, tearing it free of the lock with telekinesis as you continue backing out. Only for dozens of your B1 Battle Droids to open fire upon you, blade a blur as you deflect the shots back at the machines. But as you do, one of the Boom Tubes opens up before you, a swarm of his bioengineered soldiers, the Parademons flood out.
“DAMMIT!” you snarl, again thrusting your left hand forward. Unleashing a wave of telekinetic power, slamming the first soldier emerging back into the next two, knocking them all back into the Boom Tube. But, as you do, your foresight warns you of even more danger. Raising your blade back over your right shoulder, you deflect a bolt from the auto turret in the ceiling, deflecting the shot back into it, detonating the sentry. Another notice pops up on your wrist computer, you glancing to it and seeing warnings echoing out all over the station. Most notably, all the defenses activating. Overriding your security measures, every single system targeting you. “You bitch!”
“Do not resist. Your compliance ensures survival.” the automated voice calls with fake sincerity. You've studied the so-called New God long enough to know that death is the least of your concerns. “Submit, and serve Lord Darkseid.”
“Get out of my ship, and I won't destroy you in your entirety!” you retort as another three portals open, even more Parademons emerging. Realizing that your position is rapidly turning untenable, you slash through three of them, dashing past the portals and rushing towards the power core. If you can't have your ship, no one will.
“I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Arctus.” her voice echoes through the halls, more than a dozen energy shields erupt through the halls. Cutting you off as even more portals open, more and more Parademons emerging. “This ship now belongs to Lord Darkseid, I cannot allow you to destroy it.”
