Above and Under the Island

fh_npcsThe battle raged on above Fandom, fighters and ships whistling through the air-- and through space. The bigger ships had canons that thundered. Most of the time, their aim ran true.
But not always.
One colossal volley broke atmosphere, pierced the sky, and came down hard on Ingvar's shore, scorching trees and sending dolls scattering around like ash. It caused a thunderous noise, an unearthly crash... and the quiet, shrill ring of a mother's siren, pulsing deep underneath the earth, where no one could see.
That was all.
Until Fandom itself started to rumble, the earth trembling and tearing off underneath it. One moment, it was sitting snuggly in its usual bay - the next, it was tearing itself free from it, pulling up into the sky... and up. And even further up.
Well. That was certainly something.

Momoko flicked a switch and adjusted power to maintain that smooth flying that Face was so happy about. It cut down speed just a fraction, but that was better than spinning.
She began running through the screens checking other damage and making various adjustments to keep Face able to fly. "Looks like there's an auto-repair function. Can someone keep a weapons-eye on that section? It's going to be vulnerable for a while."
