Ascension by Aisle 9

The city hums beneath you, a maze of neon veins pulsing with life. The rain hasn’t stopped in days, heightening the glow of the neons as they reflect in the watery dystopian gloom.

You catch a glimpse of the target as it suddenly slices through the air between the massive glass towers. It runs through the street beneath you. Your pulse quickly ramps up as you decide to engage, lock on and feel the energy of the chase charge through your bloodstream.

Every turn is a gamble, every second, the city shifts, the big holograms flicker, and their reflections blur. You dive lower, ducking, skimming, banking and rolling, the glow of the neon painting your cockpit in shifting colours.

Then you start to climb into open sky. The city falls away. You lose him as he dives back into the sprawling metropolis below. Suddenly there’s 2 of them on either side, leaving trails of smoke and light as they arc into the darkness, climbing toward the mountain.

You push the throttle. The landscape morphs before you and a magical land opens up as these strange ships elude you and disappear into the sunset.
