Man, I'm really sorry, I haven't updated this in a really, really long time. I have the next two chapters, so I'll post them and hope I get someone's attention.

Chapter 8 - The Black Army
The Liberty fleet was closing in on Katana fast. The fleet outnumbered Katana two to one, and it was extremely unlikely that Liberty would show any mercy whatsoever to the Hispanics. Katana stood their ground despite the circumstances and prepared for the worst.
"Katana, prepare your weapon systems, power up your afterburners. and get your aiming systems up, this is gonna get rough!" Matthew yelled, bravely yet deperately.
"It looks like this is Katana's last stand..." Rick said sadly.
"ATTACK!" Ikko screamed, and the fight began.
The fleets clashed in a majestic battle. The Hispanics fought bravely, but there was just too many Liberty ships. It seemed like every time a Liberty fighter went down, another two appeared. The Hispanics inflicted heavy casulties, but there forces were dwindling. In the midst of the battle, the remaining pilots sent a message to their leaders over the fleet's secure channel.
"Commanders, run! We'll hold them off!" One pilot yelled.
"Yeah, get the heck out of here before they kill us all!" Another screamed.
"No, we refuse to abandon you!" Ikko yelled back.
"Listen, if you don't leave right now, we're opening fire on you!" the pilot screamed, and the others chimed in agreement.
"Very well." Ikko said sadly. "Thank you."
"GO!" a pilot screamed, before bursting into flames.
Ryone, Ikko, Rick, Matthew and Seth activated their cruise engines and sped away, as the remaining Hispanic fighters provided cover.
"Liberty has stolen too many lives! THEY SHALL PAY!" Ryone yelled angrily.
"So many brave pilots were lost today. We must honor them. Let us go back to Planet Honshu to hold a proper funeral for them." Ikko said sadly.
"No, we can not abandon our mission now! We much avenge all those who have been killed by Liberty's tyranny!" Ryone said bravely.
"We will get our revenge, but we are in no position to now. We are only five, we have no chance against Liberty's fleet! Let's go back to Honshu and regroup." Ikko responded.
"No, I will not admit defeat and go limping back to regroup! I have been sent on this mission and I will not return until it is finished or I am dead ashes in space!" Ryone said stubbornly.
"And how do you propose we finish the mission with only five men?" Ikko questioned, a little agrivated by Ryone's subborness.
"The Black Army..." Ryone said, lost in thought and barely whispering.
"What?" Seth question, irritated.
"The Black Army! It is the Rogues secret army. It is supposed to be a secret to all save the Rogue leaders and is not supposed to be used unless it is in defense of the last remaining Rogue base. But desperate times call for desperate measures!" Ryone explained.
"And what ships does this army use, Bloodhounds?" Seth asked, sneering.
"Of course not! Bloodhounds are much too weak. The Black Army uses Demonlords." Seth replied, ignoring Seth's mockery.
"What in the name of God is a Demonlord?" Seth asked, seething.
"The Demonlord is a very heavy fighter designed and built by the Rogues. It is even more powerful then the House very heavy fighters and Hispania's Sabre and Titan Mk II's. They are the top of their class in firepower, armor, and manuverability. Unfortunately, the Rogues have only been able to create enough of these for the Black Army, as our resources are quite low." Ryone explained, again ignoring Seth's hostility to him.
"So about how big is this Black Army?" Matthew questioned before Seth could say anything.
"It consists of about two hundred Demonlords and five battleships. It was started when we first took over the the Lane Hackers and Xenos and has been growing since. It cannot take down Liberty by itself, bit can certainly do some damage." Ryone said.
"So, you plan to use this army to take over Colorado?" Matthew asked.
"Yes, we can..." Ryone suddenly stopped.
"Can what?" Ikko asked.
"I was just thinking, that Liberty officer said most of their forces were in Colorado, to destroy us, right?" Ryone asked.
"Correct...." Ikko said, a bit confused.
"Then we don't attack Colorado. We strike Liberty at the heart!" Ryone exclaimed.
"You don't mean..." Matthew said, stunned.
"Yes I do. Were going to take over New York!" Ryone yelled.
