The battle raged, with the smaller cruiser focusing its fire on the opposing ship, ignoring the dogfights between the two types of fighters. Soon the larger cruiser began to glow brightly, almost blindingly bright, before going dark, its shields finally giving way from the massive amount of firepower, but it was far from finished. Suddenly, the smaller, squarish ship began moving toward the other cruiser's side, flying next to it, in the opposite direction. The metal doors opening, twenty pods exploded out of the ship and slammed into the cruiser, their pointed ends easily piercing the unshielded vessel.
