BaconZacary Yoxall
Far from the serene, crystal blue oceans of Destiny Island, a lone ship sailed among the stars. It was a simple ship, bronze, silver, and dark brown in color, bearing the shape of an arrowhead. While it appeared to be made of solid panels and plates, if one were to look closely, they would see that it was actually made of blocks of varying sizes and shapes, fit together so well they almost appeared seamless. Inside the cockpit, the pilot and lone traveler lounged in his seat, napping the hours away as the autopilot took him to his next destination. He quietly groaned, however, as he opened his eyes and slowly rewoke, having never been able to nap for long in his ship. The seats were comfortable, of course, but not for napping, he had discovered.
Zacary Yoxall sat up and rubbed his bleary eyes before turning his attention to the instruments on his control console. He nodded after a moment, satisfied that everything still seemed to be running well, and stood up with a stretch. "I gotta figure out how to get a coffee maker on this thing," he muttered as he paced around the small, three-seat cockpit in an effort to revitalize himself. As he did, he thought back to the last world he visited. It had been an interesting one, to the say the least, what with the flying monkeys and a city that seemed to be made entirely out of emerald.
He was in the middle of reminiscing while he continued to pace when his ship suddenly shook. He glanced up through the glass canopy of his ship just in time to see a ship speed past. "Well, crap," he muttered, suddenly wide awake as he sat back down in his seat. As he readied his ship for combat, he muttered, "It's too early for this..."
The weapons on the wings of his ship came to life, ready to take on the enemy. His ship lurched forward with a burst of speed as Zac activated the afterburner and gave chase after the ship that attacked him. The two flew through space, weaving through and around obstacles. The enemy ship tried to shake Zac off, but the young man proved to be a superior pilot, easily keeping up with it. Once he had the enemy in his sights, Zac fired a short burst from his forward-facing guns, blasting his enemy to kingdom come. He let out a sigh, only to feel his ship shudder again as three more enemies approached. "Alright, I guess we're not done playing, yet!" he responded as his ship sped forward, this time on the wrong end of the chase.
The battle lasted longer than the first time around. Zac had no choice but to play defensively, using the asteroid field he found himself in to his advantage as much as he could. He was able to shake off pursuit a couple of times, destroying two enemies using hit-and-run tactics. His ship took a few hits, which Zac assumed to be nothing worth worrying over since they didn't seem to be an immediate issue. Eventually, he managed to take down the last enemy and sat back in relief...for about three seconds. Suddenly, the cockpit was bathed in red light as an alert blared. He turned to a screen that showed his ship's diagnostics and simply muttered, "Well. That's not good."
