It was strange, to have the full force of her firepower be unleashed while she focused on her main cannon and her crew to fend off the tadpoles.
"Opening Star-wave Cannon barrel."
It was a funny feeling she had, as memories of the past came to her mind.
"Releasing Star-wave safety locks."
A foolish dream. A childish aspiration. Twisted by Hell, into an ironic punishment.
"Pressure approaching firing threshold. Releasing final safety lock."

"Star wave Cannon, Fire!"

Across the ocean, on a continent far beyond the horizon. A living mountain watched with quiet admiration as a beam of power and radiance streaked across the flesh-covered sky, tracing the source of the phenomenon to its origin. For the second time in a this crucible's cycle the membrane sky was torn, this time the horizon wide tear revealing a beautiful gradiant of fading solar gold into a deep azure of the evening sky. To the delight of a titanic flyer before being sealed away by the Crucible yet again.
