By now the Chaos aligned pilots and the Starwolves held dominance over the skies while the Starwolves' battle-carrier continued to clear away the remaining enemy assault carriers, which fell out of the sky in flaming wrecks and exploded against the mountainside. Once the skies were truly clear, the Akulas reformed into a perfect formation and began circling overhead as their carrier settled into place above the city for several minutes before all but the leader broke formation and returned to their carrier. Their ace banked smoothly and flew next to one of the flight decks before transforming into guardian mode and hovered there. All of their weapons were completely inactive as they slid smoothly up to the deck and brought their nose level with the deck before the canopy opened and a figure climbed out and crouch-walked down the nose before stepping onto the flight-deck.<br/><br/>Emile watched this occur with a bit of curiosity, but also anger. This was the pilot who'd killed so many of their own, and he was barely keeping himself from sprinting over and throwing the figure off the flight deck. But he resisted, only because in the end they had helped win a battle that could have had a much higher cost than it already did. But what infuriated him a bit more was that the figure just turned and sat down on the edge of the flight deck, their legs hanging in the open air even as their Valkyrie hovered up and onto the flight deck without them piloting, and settled down to one side before shutting down completely.
