If her Provost's look was still troubled, Emily didn't pay attention. Her lanky body was<br />
thrumming with power from the interchange with Julie, and amazingly she could sense the same<br />
from the others.<br />
Queries, first from her friends, Darrien the first of them, then slowly from the human Guardians.<br />
Feeling the touch of Julie's feelings still fresh in her mind Emily gathered them all.<br />
It was something that had never happened before.<br />
In the entire history of the Tiri what was happening had never been seen before.<br />
It started with Julie and Emily, but it spread quickly outwards from there, linking Guardian to<br />
Guardian in a web of thoughts.<br />
For the first time in the history of Guardians the hundred and nine surviving Guardians were as<br />
one. Julie had but to think it, and the Guardian ships reacted, they were her sword and she<br />
wielded them ruthlessly as the Tiri fleet, after thirty long agonizing minutes finally came into<br />
range of the Bak'ra. After a half hour of being able to do nothing other than watch the Bak'ra<br />
attack their planet, they were able to do something about it.<br />
Julie's thoughts were a whisper, but Emily heard them clearly none the less, as did everyone else<br />
in the web.<br />
I love you Emily.<br />
Not caring that everyone could hear her as well, Emily's response was immediate.<br />
I love you too.<br />
Then there was no time for anything other than the swirling chaos of missiles as the two fleets<br />
traded fire.<br />
------------------<br />
It was impossible.<br />
Lortal stared at the information being displayed before him in a sort of morbid fascination.<br />
Those weren't Tiri ships attacking his, they had to be demon spawn!<br />
The Tiri ships moved in perfect coordination, weathering a storm of fire from the Bak'ra ships<br />
that should have turned a fleet twice there size into wreckage. True there were a lot of missiles<br />
getting through, and even as he watched more and more of the smaller Tiri ships were being<br />
blown apart, but the Guardians kept on coming. They were coming straight in, and his fleet was<br />
in real danger of actually being pinned against the bulk of the Planet below.
