The day after Backwards Slide Corp. returned the Cretholeum Crystals, the Space Station had quieted down. The new vehicles 
that Skelly had spent a few weeks designing, the Tinies, had finally been delivered. Their hanger, adjacent to the Crawlers’,
 was being fitted for them, due to their lack of armor, the entire Tiny-Hanger could dispatch and carry them to their 
deployment. The Tiny-Hanger also had a control panel to pilot and program the Tinies. Skelly was currently working on a new 
vehicle, an aerial protection unit for the Tinies, the Aero(s). Jason, Xavier, Raofar, Speed, Izash, Feaneas and Zain were
 playing an insane game of Dutch Blitz, one minute someone would have the card needed, then someone else would put the exact 
card causing shouting on both parts. Playing Dutch Blitz with seven people was not a good idea. But, as new personal joined 
Backwards Slide Corp. fairly often, these games would get louder. 

	A red four was put down, Xavier and Speed both had red fives on their blitz piles, and Xavier quickly put his five 
down.
"BLITZ!" Yelled Xavier.
"Hey!" retorted Speed, "You have alien reflexes and we don’t!"
"Let’s not have another fight." Jason said breaking them up. They were sitting back as a Crawler dealt the cards back to 
them. It was at that moment that Black Sun attacked. A Predator VTOL had opened fire on the Space Station. Skelly ignited 
the shields. The Dutch Blitz players had already got into their flight suits and were jamming on their helmets as they ran 
to the Hanger. They all immediately jumped in their ships. It was tense waiting for the hanger to close off and the floor 
to peel back. The minute it did so, the Backwards Slide Corp. fleet flew into action. 

	The Tiger was seldom used, as it consumed much fuel, but this was an emergency. There were three times as many Black Sun 
ships as there were Backwards Slide Corp. ships. Already some Crawlers had been sent in, but most were lost. Despite Jason’s
 asking, Skelly refused to ‘waste’ more Crawlers. There were Talius out there, but they weren’t as dangerous as the 
Predators. Black Sun had really unleashed it’s furry this time. Jason had nearly been hit a few times, and Xavier, had dents
 in the Crasher's heavy plated armor. Izash wasn’t in the Beluga, it was too slow, Izash was piloting the main gun of the 
Space Station, which were huge. He had taken down one fighter already. Raofar had been hit pretty badly and was piloting 
the Scorpion back to the Station. His main engine was malfunctioning, thus piloting back to the Station was difficult. 
Skelly was already there with his tools ready to repair. The Shield had taken many shots, and the windshield had been 
cracked, but Zain fought on. Speed had often spied on Black Sun and knew the ships well. He had managed to fell two. Speed
 would have passed on his info of the ships’ weaknesses, but his transmitter had been destroyed. Xavier was ramming ships,
 but their strong hulls prevented him from getting too much done, so he decided to ram the cockpits. He was dangerously 
exposed this way. He tried it on a Predator, but the Predator saw him coming and opened fire as Xavier hit the ship. 
The Predator was destroyed; but Xavier had to skillfully maneuver the highly damaged Crasher back to the Station. The Tiger
 was a Black Sun killing machine. It’s large laser-projectile was hard to dodge and extremely effective. But still the 
Tiger’s large consumption of fuel made it have to return to base for refueling. Jason was having a difficult time 
dodging ships. He tried bombing one, and the bomb hit, but the machine was still running. Jason had used three of his four
 missiles, and out of those only one had hit. The battle had been raging on for an hour, every ship had been hit at least
 twice. Suddenly, Zain’s windshield broke. Before he knew it, the Shield was blown apart, thanks to a Predator. Zain, had 
slipped on his space suit the minute his windshield was cracked, thus he could still breathe although the Shield was gone.
  He called for help via his transmitter. Suddenly, a Talius began to fly at him. But the Talius didn’t see Zain; it was 
going for the station. Zain quickly drew his blaster and shot the Talius’ cockpit. Zain could see red flames dancing in the
 cockpit, and then it exploded. He immediately tried to get back to the Station but to no avail. He saw a Crawler come from
 the Crawler-Hanger. It flew towards him. Zain quickly jumped on the back of it and let it bring him back. 

	The fight was tense. The only ships left were the Striker and Gonzolaz. There were six Black Sun ships. It seemed like all
 hope was lost when there was a blast, and a Black Sun ship went up in flames. It was the Beluga. It was the only ship that
 hadn’t been used. The Beluga pulled up along side the Striker, giving it more missiles. Jason let loose all four, two 
of them hit ships. Now the match was three against three. Jason had an idea. The Gonzolaz sped out from the ranks, causing
 the Black Sun ships to chase it. Jason shot out the Striker’s hook on the last one, and began to pull in the opposite 
direction. Now the Beluga could make an easy shot. With only two ships left, Black Sun retreated. What was left of the 
Backwards Slide Corp. Fleet flew back to the Hanger.

	Skelly was busy repairing the damaged ships. A dozen Crawlers were helping. The Backwards Slide Corp. personal were 
waiting for a Crawler to deal out their cards. Jason popped open a can of Mountain Dew, and looked at his Blitz pile.A Blue 
Ten.
