Hyperion/Endymion: Space-Dasher

A Story by Abishai100

A Venusian/Martian 'contest' near Earth-realm gets the wheel(s) turning for advanced machinery-dreams.

A space-drama inspired by the 'cool' modern media-franchise Wing Commander (Mark Hamill, Saffron Burrows). Enjoy,

Two aliens from Mars/Venus traveled to Earth-realm during the great Robotech wars, and they'd sought to compare their unique styles/approaches to chess-play which would cast this terrific space-drama as a tale of two planets.

ENDYMION: I represent the very-best of Martians, and I intend to draw a stalemate-condition against Venusian Hyperion (IQ).

HYPERION: I'll coalesce the jet-fighters of the great Robotech space-army against the inglorious Invid for Endymion-chess!

Hyperion was a shrewd and eccentric army choreographer and used his tactical negotiation acumen to argue for a convergence in metaphysical/laser force between Venus and the Robotech jet-fighter force in the space-battle near Earth-realm with the inglorious Invid race. Now, with the Robotech fighters working alongside Prince Hyperion's Venusian pilots of great skill, he'd be able to focus all his mental energy/eccentricity on the chess-stalemate 'dare' posed by Martian prince Endymion (as this drama unfolded!).

PRINCE HYPERION: No one knows of my secret/stranger hobby, collecting dolls/figurines of mythology-value (Medusa/Aeon).

PRINCE HYPERION: Some of my magnificent Earth-realm culture-traffic dolls, ethnic-Barbie, cast 'doubts' for democracy-IQ!

Meanwhile, the valiant Robotech forces near Earth-realm continued to place their mortal-combat 'wager' of spirit alongside Hyperion's Venusian pilots and eyed the inglorious Invid in this striated struggle to achieve dominion design in outer-space, but no one would admit the greatest intrigue in this 'competition' (with Martian Endymion allied to the Invid!) was the stalemate-chess 'dare' posed by the calculating Martian (all good cinema).

ENDYMION: My ancient stone-and-gem crafted (very expensive) chess-set is idealized for this 'showdown' with the Venusian.

ENDYMION: Damn; you've employed a swift-like rook-bishop double-line offense-lever to counter my queen-knight mancer.

HYPERION: You see, Martian Prince Endymion, this array for piece-positions motion casts offense-balance control (stalemate).

ROBOTECH: What did the stalemate-chess achievement afford us now (Invid-wise!), Hyperion?
HYPERION: Martian Endymion's conceded to recede his Invid-force(s) and create an isolationist-exile in the Earth-ocean abyss.

ROBOTECH: What will be the legacy/record of this space-war with the Invid...and for you with the Martian(s)?

HYPERION: I'll stay near Earth-realm (as a romantic!) and help you market Aliens comics (space-age) to future students!

ROBOTECH: Excellence...
