Thread: Dominion Over Her (BennyQ x Sketchyequine)

Mayday mayday mayday! Solstice screamed into her radio. This jet is going down. I repeat I am going down. The dainty hands of the woman pushed downward on the steering column desperately, hoping to get any sort of lift, but her ship just kept going down. The vehicles failing engines left a trail of smoke in the air stream behind her- indicative that she was definitely going down. The little black clouds had started sporadically at first, puffing like the lungs of a smoker, but now the trail was all too consistent. Her engines were failing, and the best that Solstice could do was hope not to explode midair. Her corpse falling down from the sky in bloody bits was a less than ideal way for her to go. If anyone is receiving this transmission, please respond. The woman spoke with an irritated tone into her radio. This is Princess Nabeshin. I am commanding you to respond. She spoke again after a period of silence. If there was someone out there who just didnt feel like responding, she would take it upon herself personally to drop their naked, defenseless body into the vacuum of space. Fuck. This thing is fucking broken. Just my luck. She cursed and yanked back on the steering to flatten her ship slightly as the descent continued. He had shot her down. That bastard. No one was supposed to be able to shoot her down. Solstice had been undefeated until now. Young as she was, she had a reputation to hold. Her people would not respect her if she became an easy target. Women in this day and age were definitely not allowed to be weak and submissive. Now, strength and courage were held on a high pedestal. Females, at least on the planet Frandia, no longer cowered behind men. If the men were fighting so were their women. Solstice Nabeshin , King Nabeshins only daughter, was no exception. There was, however, light at the end of this tunnel. Solstice was going down, and it might even kill her, but her opponent was going down too. The pilot from Frandias enemy, Dominion, had taken several hits from Solstice, and her experience told her that it would not be able to leave this planet either. The last think the fiery redhead had seen before realizing her own ship was compromised was a steady stream of smoke coming from her opponents engines. No ship came back from damage like that. Loud beeps rang through the cockpit of Nabeshins ship as warnings flashed on her control panels. Engine failure. Air System failure. Fan failure. Losing Altitude. All of the alarms were making Sols ears ring. It was incredibly difficult to focus like this. Focus, Solstice, focus. If you want to survive this landing you have got to focus. She reasoned with herself as her eyes focused on where she was headed. Her ship was getting closer now, and she could see that this entire fucking section of the planet was forested. She was going to hit trees, it was unavoidable, and these were not small trees. As she neared the treeline, the ringing in her ears became louder, almost unbearable. It was then that her vision blurred and her head seemed to float above her shoulders. Solstice was losing consciousness, and quickly. Her blurry vision then fell on one of the warning signals before Loss of Cabin pressure. It was then that everything went black for the woman. Her ship continued to crash, of course. Unfortunately, it's impossible to steer while unconscious. So on its way down the ship collided with countless branches taking irreversible damage. The wings were ripped to shreds, the undercarriage completely destroyed, and the windshield cracked in half a dozen places. If Solstice ever had any chance of fixing her ship on her own and getting out, it was gone now. If the Dominion pilot had not completely destroyed it, the trees had. In all reality, it was a wonder Solstice didnt collide directly with one of the trunks and been killed in the crash. Things fell silent as Solstice and her ship lay stagnant on the forest floor. Water dripped from the damaged ceiling to the exposed nose of the princess. The sudden cold stimulus caused Solstice to gasp for air and sit straight up in her seat. In doing so, the woman so gracefully ran the back of her skull into the collapsed, leaking ceiling of the cockpit. With a wince she cupped the back of her head in her palm for a moment before pulling it away and checking for blood. All clear. Her hair was red, yes, but only because it was always red. The deep auburn hair rain deep in her familys genetics. Damnit. She mumbled, her entire body sore from tensing up during the crash. Otherwise, she seemed relatively unharmed a quick once over of her body revealed that. Looking down she realized a faint bruise forming over her breasts and collar bones as a result of the harness during the crash. Her knuckles were scabbed over, probably from hitting the steering column once she passed out. Her head seemed fine. Her legs were fine. Nothing felt broken. These were all signals that she could walk, and, if she could walk, she was getting the hell out of this ship. Solstice pressed her weight into the door, needing to put more force into it than normal to wrench it past the fallen branches that surrounded her ship. She managed to open the door just enough to slide her body out of the vehicle. Thank god she was in good shape, or there was no way she would have fit through that opening. Once out of the ship, the princess eyed her flyer with a sigh. You're a lost cause, baby. She kicked at the metal with the toe of her boot and huffed. This was all just fucking fabulous. Her surroundings were exactly as she expected. It was green, and it was wet- hence her rude awakening. A look at the sky told her it was afternoon. Considering she had crashed this morning, Solstice realized that she had already been unconscious for hours and no one had retrieved her and taken her home. What did that mean? They hadn't gotten her plea for help. If they had gotten it, they would have been here within an hour. This planet was under Frandias jurisdiction. They owned it and it was used for harvesting raw materials. The whole reason she was here was to defend it from Dominion overthrow, and that was exactly who she found here. This planet was valuable and it's loss would be a major monetary hit for her kingdom. It wasn't an option. Solstice, her father, and all of their pilots would fight to the death to keep it, but the princess was glad she hadn't had to give her life today. I hope that son of a bitch crashed and burned. Have fun in hell. She cursed, crossing her arms over her chest.
