The lizard invoker broke off from its escorts, dipping lower in orbit and carrying its rainbow energy arcs around it like a giant shield that obscured view of most of the massive ship. Leaving the cruiser shield that had been running interference for it, one of the 28 centerpieces of the lizard invasion quickly moved towards one of the Skarrons’ massive orbital defense platforms that was even now targeting another invoker with a mass of heavy lachars and rail gun slugs that were penetrating the destructive cocoon and making hull impacts.

The other invoker was nearly into physical contact range, with its energy arcs ripping through Skarron ships that had positioned themselves in the path of the big ship to slow it down, for their plasma couldn’t touch the hull given the range of the energy arcs, leaving it little more than spit by the time it reached the ship, and most didn’t, for the fluctuating rainbow scattered the plasma where it collided with them.

Already massive hull breaches were occurring on the other invoker, but it didn’t pull back. The station it was closing on had already been damaged by an assault pillar that had since been destroyed, with the attacking ship being the smaller of the two. The Skarron double orb-shaped construct was larger than both the invoker and assault pillar combined and was one of six defending the heavily populated Skarron planet. The lizards knew if they could take this one out now it would save a lot of their smaller ships later, hence they were tearing at it and willing to sacrifice their bigger ships if necessary in the tradeoff.

But they weren’t stupid, and seeing that the invoker wasn’t going to get the job done on its own the other closest nearby abandoned its fleet to destruction in order to join up with the other, making the tiniest of microjumps down to the defense station and moving through a scattering of defensive ships, none of which could do anything to stop the giant chess piece. It came in on the opposite side from the other invoker, which was now close enough that its energy arcs were eating through the outer layers of the station while in turn it was also getting pummeled with plasma that was making it through the gaps where the energy arcs disappeared on contact with the hull.

The second invoker came in so close it looked like it rammed the far side of the station, but in truth the hulls never touched. The energy field did and vaporized hull plating like a glowing hurricane that slowly moved in closer and closer, consuming more material and literally eating away at the station. Between the two of them the invokers focused on the narrow mid section of the station until their energy arcs finally met up and they cut the station in half.

The first invoker, now heavily damaged, moved into the gap and began to eat at the upper orb from
