Fandom Gundam: War in Heaven

(I think you're getting it wrong. It's your ship, coming here to pick you up)
 
Maximus said:
"Already?" He whined over the comm as he turns off his electric force field and runs back to though the entrance of the colony he had come out off. Trailing after Akito and several GINN. "You want me to blast them off with my missiles?" Aiming his missiles at one of the ships. "Now let's see, The sips contain reinforcements I recommend we blast or at least damage their ships"
" Turn on your IFF those ships are our own. You can dock on the Archanagel class ship because that's my group's ship. The other one comes from the Republic and is meant to provide support for the Quintessence." Akito said over the comms. Then Akito realized the GN Particles must make it difficult for non GN particle using mobile weapons to indentify the IFF signal from GN using mobile weapons. The Quintessence despite being an Archangel class ship had a few larger GN drives where the thrusters would be. But it wasn't producing particles at moment which means next time he has to a little more careful about this problem in the future.
 
(Ok. Wow. Fuck. I'm so sorry you guys. I had some serious family stuff pop up this week and I've been trying to handle that. But everything is calm now, so fingers crossed I should be able to post more regularly from now on. Hope you guys still stuck around, I'm gonna try to push the story forward. Or at least get us out of this colony.)


As the strange Gundam left, the light it was producing faded. With what little strength he had left, the lieutenant reached for his helmet and spoke to his team.


"*Cough*... This is Waylev to team. We... Encountered heavy resistance within the colony. Enemy has fled with the prototype and I am unable to persue..."


He seized up a bit and grasped at a dull pain ringing in his rib cage.


"... I've sustained serious injuries, and my suit is totaled. I need pick up if at all possible."


He propped himself up a bit and continued to try and nurse the pain.


"The enemy are using next generation mobile suits and technology, including a powerful jammer suite that can makes communications all but impossible. Avoid fighting them for the time being. For the moment we just need to fall back to the ship and report what we know. Waylev out. "


The enemy had revealed an impressive hand today. But if he could get back to Jotunheim, the Earthnoids might just be able to ante up.

Alexis was still keeping an eye in the area where the dots are staying and observing them when several light bolted out of the colony toward the area. It's not her team, that's for sure. So the enemy has escaped? Alexis reached for her communication button, the static disappear, and before she could talk her Lieutenant spoke first.


"*Cough*... This is Waylev to team. We... Encountered heavy resistance within the colony. Enemy has fled with the prototype and I am unable to persue..." He sounded really bad. How many men we lost to damn spacenoids? "... I've sustained serious injuries, and my suit is totaled. I need pick up if at all possible. The enemy are using next generation mobile suits and technology, including a powerful jammer suite that can makes communications all but impossible. Avoid fighting them for the time being. For the moment we just need to fall back to the ship and report what we know. Waylev out. "


"This is Shwald, missing all the fight here in front of the entrance." Alexis tried to throw in a joke to lighten the mood. "I caught glimpse of the enemy running toward an area where several big dots are detected. Seems like they are being picked up by a fleet, or something. We should head back now, Lieutenant, before they regrouped and decided to chase us."
 
As Akito neared the Quintessence he could see the ring of gn drive replacing where the thrusters would be on an Archangel class vessel. He pulled around to the front and then sent aa transmission to the ship. "This is Akito Kensei returning." The entrance to the hangar opened and the 00 Quanta glided inside touching down on the launch pad then coming to stop. The mechanics then guided the Quanta to it's slot and then strapped it in place. Then on his comm screen the his captain, Captain Viola came onto the screen. "Report!" she commanded in her strong female voice. Akito began recounting the events within the colony to his captain.


Meanwhile, the rest of the suits began to dock with their ships. The baikal class ship began to disperse orange GN particles while the Quintessence started giving of green GN particles. The particle dispersal was on a lower setting so to shield them from radar but not obstruct communication like the wide range dispersal Akito used in the colony. The ships then just hovered in their position, they were simply waiting for reinforcements from the Republic to arrive before attempting to pursue the enemy.


After Akito finished his report his Captain ordered all pilots on standby. Akito could sense other newtype class pressures while he was inside the colony. As far as he could tell he was the only newtype present for the spacenoids at the moment. He believed to have sensed more than one newtype among the enemy forces. As amazing as the functions of the Quanta is it seemed he's in for a tough battle without some really good reinforcements.
 
Codename Athena


Outside Lagrange 4 Colony "Kellville"



04:40 HRS GMT



The sleek, massive, black hulled General Revile class carrier Spectre's Domain remained hidden behind a massive resource asteroid that was on standby for being brought into the colony for processing, it's crew at their combat stations, the ship's orders weren't to engage like the regular JOTUN team was to but to observe and report back on how the operation went, good or bad, the orders were the same, only intervene if discovered.


Aboard the ship six Mobilesuits stood ready for launch, each one painted a stealthy black color with only the Unit's sword and shield logo and the pilots personal logo visible as any form of marking on them. Five of the Units were simply modified mass production units, two Jegan Four-Eyes with rapid fire modified beam SMG weapons and Stark packs, two modified ReZEL's that are a further augmentation of the type called the type D with evne more performant systems and weapons loadout capabilities, thugh these were simply loaded with interceptor loadouts only adding extra missiles to their regular onboard armament. The fifth unit sitting in one of the launch areas was a fully armed and loaded for bear Gustav Karl, this unit piloted by the teams current team leader, Captain Eritreus Dranajek. The Sixth unit, the units ace in the hole, the Kshatriya Novum, the "Death Spectre" stood opposite Dranajeks Karl. The unit a massive quad winged monstrosity with a psychoframe cockpit and enough armament to cause serious damage to anything in it's way, its pilot simply a weapon, a soldier pure and simple, codenamed Athena. Honestly spoken, the young woman aboard the massive assault unit scared the crap out of most of the team, Dranajek simply found her intriguing, she seemed so young and innocent in so many ways, yet was so strong and fierce in combat, mercilessly efficient at her mission when assigned one. No one on the team seemed to know her real name, safe for him as he had secretly delved into her files and discovered who and what she exactly is, a scary secret, but not a surprising one.


The team had stood throughout the entire battle and not intervened, their orders clear not to, even though many probably felt it was wrong to do so. Now That the enemy ships were moving off, maybe they could send some aid to the damaged Earth Force craft, maybe. Eritreus reaches for his comms, keying the line to the ship. "Bridge, this is Glaive One, you think we should launch and go see if we can't help out our JOTUN friends?" The response came quickly. "Not the Entire team Captain, no, but two of you can go and see." The captains calm, collected tone belied the anger he felt at the colonists new weapons. Eritreus nods in his cockpit. "Aye sir, Glaive One and Glaive six will launch." The Lights on the doors to their launch ares turned green as he spoke.


On the outside of the Ship's hull, bay doors slid silently open, elevators raising two large Mobilesuits out from within it's black hull.


EF-666X Kshatriya Novum "Glaive Six"


FD-03 Gustav Karl "Glaive One"



"Kshatriya Novum, Glaive six, Taking off." Spoke the soft methodical voice of the units pilot as the massive quad wings opened up, thrusters belching flame, pushing the unit free with their massive thrust potential, the large Mobilesuit gracefully taking off in a barrel roll pattern as it headed out. "Gustav Karl, Glaive One, Time to rock and roll!" Spoke Eritreus as his own unit's thrusters fire and he bee-lined it off towards the battle zone, the Kshatriya Novum finishing it's roll perfectly to fall in to his left and slightly behind, both units heading off together to see about Helping the JOTUN forces recover their casualties and protect them from any more colonist attacks if they were to come.

Onboard the 'The Quintessence', inside Caliburn's cockpit


4:18GMT






The order comes rather suddenly. The army wants to pick up some elite unit guarding a prototype and it's pilot before the Earthnoids find them and destroy and kill them. And just to make sure, they need all the good pilots they could find no matter how rebellious they are. Leon has heard about the prototype before, a game changer they said. Once it's finished, the tide of war might turn in their favor. It's not like Leon care about the war, just as long as he could work and get some money. He is stationed inside the main ship and are to quickly dispatch if something has indeed go wrong and the so-called elite team need backup.


Leon took the food they prepared for them and eat it in the hangar, floating in the air around his mobile suit. He got really bored of waiting that after eating he wore his suit, take his helmet, and went inside his cockpit and just sleep until the sound of alarm wakes him up. The announcer asked them to get into a battle station, as an unidentified mobile suit is detected in the entrance of the colony where they hid the prototype and that there are no response from the security team. Leon quickly wore his helmet and lick his lips, hoping that the captain will give him the order to dispatch to check on this small dot on his radar (Leon's pretty damn sure that this is one of the Earthnoids).


But no, the elite team returned on their own. The hangar door opened and their suit connects to the laser guidance and soon safely docked. Since they outnumbered them, Leon has the feeling that they will attempt to chase the enemy. At times like this, the speed of his Kampfer will greatly help. He opened his cockpit, to get a better look at the prototype. It looks ugly, but if it's as powerful as they said then it's one hell of a beast. The Saber's mobile suit is parked next to him, Leno has met the guy several times in the past. He respected the guy, one of the small few that could keep Leon on a leash. He grinned and waved at the Quanta's cockpit.
 
"Lieutenant!" Halvey's cockpit released and he found his second-in-command staring down at him, He'd never seen her look so genuinely worried before. The two of them worked together to peel him out of his seat and move him to Ikari's own Jegan. To no particular suprise, she'd once again come out almost entirely unscratched. He'd never say it out loud, but Halvey envied the power of the newtypes, they always seemed to come out on top no matter how bad things turned out around them.


The cockpit of the Jegan closed shut and the two pilots began to leave the colony.


"This is 2nd Lieutenant Ikari Romano, I have Lieutenant Waylev and we're heading out." With no interference the Jegan was outside the colony in seconds. Once outside Waylev contacted Alexis.


"We're heading back to the ship for resupply. You should head back too, these guys are too tough to be taken on alone."


---------------


After a few minutes of flight, the team arrived back at the Mothership. The Arcadia was an impressive new model Diva-Class warship. Based on earlier White Base and Argama class ships it was also capable of transforming into a Transit mode, which allowed it to move faster than most ships its size.


"This is 2nd Lieutenant Romano and Lieutenant Waylev, returning home over." Ikari reported in.


"Copy that, Lazer line is clear, welcome home Lieutenants." The hanger opened up and the guiding lazer led them in. A medical team arrived almost immediately for Halvey, but not before the Captain caught up with him.


"What the hell happened out there, Hal?! We lost you guys for like 5 minutes!" Halvey and Captain Kiting had been friends since before he'd been promoted and it showed. Kiting tried to put on an air of professionalism now that he was pretty much everyone's boss, but he'd always been on of the more impulsive members of the crew.


"Sorry Francis, I'll write you a report on everything. For now though, I'm going to need you to clear use for the X-1." The captain looked dumbfounded.


"I can't let you use that thing in your condition!" Halvey waved him off.


"Not me. But Ikari is more than qualified to use it. Our enemies are newtypes, and they're using technology we've never seen before. We won't be able to beat them with what we have now.


With that the medical team hauled Waylev off towards sickbay. The captain turned towards Ikari, who saluted him.


"At ease, lieutenant. Walk with me, I need to show you something." They took a few steps before he paused. "...And thank you for bringing Hal back."

As Akito neared the Quintessence he could see the ring of gn drive replacing where the thrusters would be on an Archangel class vessel. He pulled around to the front and then sent aa transmission to the ship. "This is Akito Kensei returning." The entrance to the hangar opened and the 00 Quanta glided inside touching down on the launch pad then coming to stop. The mechanics then guided the Quanta to it's slot and then strapped it in place. Then on his comm screen the his captain, Captain Viola came onto the screen. "Report!" she commanded in her strong female voice. Akito began recounting the events within the colony to his captain.

As amazing as the functions of the Quanta is it seemed he's in for a tough battle without some really good reinforcements.
Saul applauded as he approached Akito.


"Bravo, Bravo! Another flawless mission exectuted by the one and only Quanta Force!" It was impossible to tell how much if any if his praise was genuine. His smug grin and perpetually condescending tone never seem to leave regardless of what he meant.


"I apologize for not having been able to go with you, but you seem to have handled yourself admirably as always."
 
Akito opened the cockpit of the Quanta and stood up. He waved back at Leon before Saul arrived with condescending tone. "All pilots were ordered on standby, the day isn't over yet nor is our victory solidified. We'll likely be pursuing the enemy once reinforcements arrive. They have at least two newtypes with them probably more who aren't unleashing any pressure at the moment." Akito replied.


Just then the Captain came back up on his comm screen. He sat back down which was basically hovering around in the cockpit chair due to the zero gravity environment and not strapping himself in. "This is Captain Viola, our reinforcements may take a while but we don't want to lose the enemy. So I want you a few others to pursue the enemy in your suits and do all you can to slow them down. We should arrive with reinforcements before too long. You can take who you want from the Quintessence's forces." She said. Akito strapped himself in and replied "Roger I was thinking the four mass produced gundam pilots we have, along with Leon and Saul maybe Raika too if he's not too fatigued from the battle." Akito explained. Captain Viola nodded and then the transmission cut out. Akito unstrapped himself and floated to the edge of the cockpit he motioned with his hands for Leon and Saul who was probably listening in on the conversation to get ready. He then sent a short !message to the mass produced gundam pilots. He strapped himself down once more and closed the door to the cockpit.


He powered up the Quanta and moved it over to the catapult. "Akito Kensei, 00 Quanta, launching!." He spoke before his suit rocketing off into space near the colony. After a few minutes his radar picked up two large mobile suits heading his direction both lacking a friendly IFF signal.
 
"And here I was hoping we were done here." Saul sighed and headed toward the Sazabi. The hulking Red Suit followed the others out onto the catapult deck and brought Akito up on his comm screen as he readied for launch.


"I don't mean to undercut your authority in this situation, but I do feel it necessary to remind you that we do have a job to do. We need to deliver this prototype to the asteroid base at Lagrange 1, and while I'm not averse to fighting myself, I feel this is a mission that would go much smoother if we didn't make a point of grabbing the attention of every League member in the sector." As much as Saul chastised his 'friend', he honestly didn't care that much. He'd already seen the results from the prototype's preliminary exams and they'd been underwhelming to say the least. The whole project probably wasn't worth the money being poured into it. Regardless, he had a job to do out here and if this bit of side work brought him even a bit closer to his current goal then it was at least somewhat worth it.


"This is Saul Rey, Sazabi launching!" The suit rocketed forward to catch up with the Quanta. "Let's get this over with before anyone else shows up."

Yes! The order to pursue the enemy! And as he expected, Akito picked him to help him with this! He motioned at him at that's all enough for him to know what to do. Leon jumped back inside his cockpit, letting it close automatically while he strapped himself in the pilot seat and booted on his Caliburn. Akito's Quanta launched first, followed by Saul's Sazabi. Next in line is Leon, and he excitedly shout, "Leonious, Caliburn, let's go!"


"Akito, can i head first? To scout the enemy location and maybe give them a quick hit and run?" Obviously, Leon lied. He won't just scout on them, and his definition of hit and run is 'put a hole inside the enemy ship then run'.

"This is 2nd Lieutenant Ikari Romano, I have Lieutenant Waylev and we're heading out."
Ikari's voice comes clear through the communication, seems like he has taken over as the team's commander because Waylev is too injured. How bad is his injury? The next transmission is clearly directed for her. "We're heading back to the ship for resupply. You should head back too, these guys are too tough to be taken on alone."


"Roger that. They got a fleet backing them up and i'm still sane. I'll head first and go slowly so you guys can catch up." Alexis replied. She took one last glance at the bright dots watching them from nearby, and then quickly head back toward where their ship is waiting for them. She returned first, landing her suit in the hangar with the help of the laser guidance and let the machine do the rest. The staff looks worried when they see her, maybe thinking that she's the only one who returns. Alexis quickly explained to the operator, to Captain Hal, what she knows. The prototype that is already completed, something that could jam their communication.


Even though she is perfectly healthy and fine, the staffs still insisted that she have to do a quick medical check up in the medical bay. But there is no doctor or nurse here, everyone's probably out there to pick up Waylev.
 
Akito looked at him comm screen as Saul came up on it. "Well all we do need is the mobile suit's blueprints and data. We don't need to deliver the suit itself though that is the preferred by the developers. But the developers preferred to make pseudo GN Drives rather than put in the extra work to make true GN Drives like the Quantum Force uses. Any GN particles that aren't green are not true GN Particles. Anyway, they were able to make GMs and Astrays from solely data they received they can do the same with the new prototype."


Leon appeared on his comm screen as well so it split into two sides one with Saul and the other with Leon. "Remember Leon we are the scouts here. Our job is to take out their thrusters and make sure the enemy can't get away. Really we should all be going full speed right about....." Akito waited until the last of the Mass produced gundams called Exia 0's to launched before saying. "Now!" He pushed a lever and hit suits rocketed into space after the blip that seemed to be getting farther away. Akito assumed must be an enemy returning to their ship so he just needs to proceed in this direction. He radioed his the others who should be somewhere near him as they should be gunning the throttle. "The enemy is somewhere in this direction. I want you guys to get in close let the Exia 0's and I cloak us from their radar."
 
Fenn Telwick


Approaching Lagrange 1 colony [DATA CORRUPTED]



4:50 GMT






The last few hours of the young man's life were spent in a metal coffin - the air frigid around him. The only solace he had from this miserable existence was the diminishing warmth and the faint sounds of breath being drawn. He would die here; no doubt, but at least he would spend his last moments with someo-


A gunshot rings out and the warm crimson fluids float out from the crack in the pilot's helmet. Light floods the young man's grave and the ringing in his ears won't stop. It's almost beautiful to see each red bead float in a zero-g environment...



Fenn shook his head and opened his eyes - once again he was drifting through space in a mobile suit. He focused his cameras on the ship ahead, a Jupitris Class. It took him a moment to recall his current situation. Right now, the Goddess was commissioned to escort one of the Jovian Fleet's vessels back to Lagrange 1 with their He-3 payload.


Aside from him, the Jovian Fleet also fell under the protection of the Colonial Republic's suits. Whenever Fenn docked with the ship, he made a considerable effort to interact with the GINN pilots who rotated shifts. While most of the troops he had encountered were moderate, it seemed as if most conversations that Fenn had stumbled upon were about JOTUN's latest brutalities and how they had the moral high ground.


The Goddess covered the rear, constantly maintaining a sniping position with one of its Long Blade Rifles deployed. Its true identity as the Woundwort-Rah was a well-guarded secret. Multiple tarps covered the mobile suit and left only the hands, optics, and V-fin exposed. If anything, the Goddess looked like a rather unimpressive junker with a high-spec beam weapon - more or less a standard mercenary's suit.


The journey thus far had been uneventful and there was little chance that the UEL would jeopardize relations with the Jovian Fleet who were more or less neutral. Fenn stretched out an arm as the colony slowly came within visual range.

Saul smirked, amused at the prospect of being ordered around by a mercenary. "Very well, Akito. We'll do it your way. Though I still advise you to er on the side of caution. You were lucky to encounter a small force when you went to retrieve the prototype the first time, but I doubt our friends in the league will be so conservative for the second round."


---------------------


Ikari ran through the preliminary checks on her new mobile suit. It was lucky enough that the Jegans shared a lot in common with the Gundam series of suits so their wasn't much adjusting to be had. Still, it was clear from just a cursory glance that this new model was head and sholders above anything she's ever touched, and that was before getting into the auxiliary systems.


Captain Kiting appeared on the comm screen in front of her. "So how's she look? You think this will be enough?"


The lieutenant nodded. "I think I've got the gist of it, some of the extra stuff might need a bit more testing before I can say for certain though."


Kiting visibly relaxed. "That's good to hear. Actually, we just picked up some friendly IFFs out towards the colony. A Gustav Karl and a mono eye model similar to the one we've got by the looks of things. Problem is we don't have any idea why anyone else would be out here. Why don't you take the Crossbone out for a spin and see if you can figure out what's up and you can make any final adjustments you need when you get back."


Ikari nodded again in confirmation. "Yes, sir! Can I also request that Corporal Shwald accompany me as back up? I'd rather not be out there lone if our friends turn out to be not so friendly, let alone if those rebels are still lurking around."


Kiting motioned his approval. "Request acknowledged, I'll send the message her way. In the mean time I'll have the Arcadia start edging that way as well and run a trace to see if we can pick up on any other ships in the area. If we loose your signal again we'll deploy Waxing and Yuma Squadrons to support you.


With the press of a button the captain switched channels to contact Alexis. "Corpral, sorry to cut your brake short but we need you to act as wingman Lt. Romano's wingman for now. You'll sortie again as soon as your suit is ready, Romano is heading out now."


After a few seconds of final checks, the Crossbone made its way onto the catapault.


"Lt. Ikari Romano, Crossbone Gundam, Heading out!"

"Full speed? Eat some space dust, Akito!" Leon pushes his rocket to maximum output and overtakes both Akito and Saul. He's still careful not to left them behind, or he will screw up the plan. He headed toward the small blimp that's keep moving away from them. He clicked his tongue, slightly pissed off that he can't do much but to patiently wait until he catch up with the enemy's ship.

"And you are good to go." The doctor released her. "You are not hurt in any way. Just make sure you get enough rest and-"


Corporal Alexis, sorry to cut your brake short but we need you to act as wingman for Lt. Romero. You'll sortie again as soon as your suit is ready, Romano is heading out now.


Alexis groaned at the announcement, and the doctor who just checked her can't help but to laugh at her reaction. "Captain's order. You got to follow him."


"Yeah, or they'll cut my paycheck." Alexis grumbled as she wear her space suit again. She took her helmet and waved at the doctor as she make her way out of the medical bay and head toward the hangar again. The staffs look confused to why she's back here again. "Don't you all heard what the captain said?"


The staff paused their game of cards and scrambled back to their own station and started releasing the cables and did some last minute check while Alexis make her way inside the cockpit for the second time in under one hour. She booted on the system and checked the fuel, this should be enough since Alexis did nothing but keeping an eye on Romero.


"Evalach, heading out again now." Alexis said, seconds before she is catapulted out of space.

Akito was distracted from Saul's words, as two more suits appeared on the far edges of his radar. He could sense newtype pressure in the distance but not sure if it was a single pressure or two pressures. He spoke over the comms "Two more incoming but far out. Look alive and be on your control sticks, I sense newtype pressure." Akito then made the Quanta ready the GN Sword V and made sure the GN Sword bits were ready to go. He also made sure the Vulcans were loaded in case the enemy fired guided missles.


The four Exia pilots split two and two. Two of them went on either side of Leon and to went on other side of Saul. All Aktio really new of them is that they were fellow survivors of the Belt Incident, but there was always something off or excluding about them that pushed Akito away. He frequently sees them speaking to the memorial specialists and often during batttles they can do some very reckless things, Akito remembered hearing the medical specialists use the word "terminal" before but hoped it was for the type of device and not to describe their condition. He wondered why they adopted such positions now and if they were planning to do something reckless, they seemed to be in perfect place to guard his two allies but almost as if they were prepared to sacrifice themselves. Well every soldier has to be prepared to sacrifice everything but the Exia pilots seemed almost suicidal on some missions.
 
Glaives 1 and 6

4:48 to 4:54 GMT



Eritreus blinks, seeing multiple heat signatures launching from the enemy ship and more from their allied ship. "Whoops! Seems the shit is definitely about to hit the fan Glaive 6, get us a track on those enemy units and get me an Identification ASAP!" He says as his Gustav rolls around an Asteroid and takes cove,r the Kshatriya Novum attempting to conceal its bulk behind another one nearby, mono-eye glowing as it scans around.


Codename Athena calmly works her sensors and begins tracking and identifying the enemy units. "Yes sir... attempting Ident now, tracking seven bandits." She works her controls, tagging the units in quick succession, running them through her databanks and relaying the info via laser burst transmission to the units mothership, an advanced stealth variant of the General Revil class. She narrows her eyes. "No Ident on at least three of them the four others are mass production gundam class units... the enemies new Exia type sir!"


Eritreus grunts, flicking the safety off his Gustav Karl`s rifle. "Great, looks like were about to have a god damn Gundam parade on our hands, Signal the Spectre`s Domain to scramble Glaive two three four and five with full combat loads!" The Gustav Karl's visor flashes as it goes to tactical combat mode, tagging the enemy from the Kshatriya Novum's Data burst t it a moment before.

Acting as Lt. Romero wingman


5:01 GMT


Romero's mobile suit is something that she had never seen before. It's huge and tough looking, is it their prototype? No, it doesn't look like a prototype. It's done already, it's their secret weapon. Alexis couldn't help but to smile, which quickly disappear when her radar shows an unusually large number of dots. 7 unidentified suits coming their way, another group chasing them from behind. The other group are clearly are a part of the Earth Federation, she recognized that one of them is a registered mobile suit.


A Khasatriya Novum. There's only one other Khasatriya in the federation, other than hers. Athena? If she remembers correctly.


"Romero, incoming enemy mobile suits!" Alexis released Evalach's quad wings, spreading it open and ready to fight. "Seven enemy detected, several friendly behind them."
 
"Oh my, Looks like we found that fight you were looking for." Saul laughed a bit as more enemies appeared on radar.


"Very well then. Akito, Leon, Let's go!" The Zasabi released its funnels and charged the Kshatriya Novum, releasing a volley of beam fire as it went. Suddenly Several shots echoed past him and Saul glanced back in time to see his two escorts rocket past him. The Exias were fighting fiercer than he'd ever seen, The first went after the Gustav Karl, attacking wildly with its blade while the other fired another small barrage at the Novum while trying to close the gap.


--------


The shooting had just started as Ikari and Alexis arrived. Ikari quickly messaged the pilot of the new force.


"Kshatriya model, this is Lt. Ikari Romano of JOTUN ship Arcadia we've been ordered to support you." As she spoke Ikari felt a newtype pressure she recognized and quickly looked around the battlefield. It wasn't long until she spotted the Quanta.


"That one! That's the one that shot down Lt. Waylev!" The crossbone looked over to the Evalach.


"Alexis, try to help those guys. I'm going after that gundam." Before she could even respond the Crossbone jetted away, making a bee line directly for the GN Gundams. Grabbing the blaster with one hand and the Zanber with the other, Ikari subconsciously began projecting her quiet anger directly at the Quanta and its pilot. The feeling was subtle, but as the battle began in earnest it began to writhe in the back of he newtypes minds.
 
"Leon I want you to take out those custom Mass produced suits in the group behind us." Akito added. He sensed the Crossbone coming at him but neither went forward or backward but upwards. He used the Quanta's thrusters to blast upward puttting some distance between him and the others to take on this newtype enemy. He could feel the pressure it was projecting. Inside his Pilot suit helmet, Akito's eyes glowed as he projected back his intent to kill but he fed it through his high purity GN Particles. So his pressure would seem to be coming from the environment itself as his GN Particles were spread around the nearby area.


He didn't engage the Sword bits but instead open fire with the gun mode of his GN Sword V. He removed one Class B sword bit from the set of six under his GN Shield. The blade began to glow as gn particles were condensed into the blade then it glowed brighter as the beam came over the blade. He thought the blade possessed by the enemy look like a larger beam saber so it must have that much more power, so the dual layering should offset it's power. As he fired he used the Quanta's thrusters to propel itself towards the Crossbone now. The other class B sword bit was released as well as charged internally and covered externally before he sent it at the Crossbone. This would place it in a compromising position as to how to deal with the beam shots, incoming blade, and the blade after it.
 
The Crossbone was built for high speed and maneuverability and with a newtype at the controls it danced around the incoming fire with an almost human grace. Ikari smiled as the killing intent filled the air around her, the feeling of battle and the unspoken animosity that grew there in was something she'd long grown accustom to. She pushed back with her own newtype pressure, focusing it to a fine point as though she intended to use it as a weapon.


"I'm not like the pilot you fought before!" She spoke with dire tone. Watching the enemy reverse his momentum and send the sword bit before charging himself. In a split reaction, she reversed her momentum, sending herself into a backwards plummet. With a single motion she combined the Blaster and Zanber into their rifle configuration and fired a single charged shot, gouging the bit and continuing towards the Quanta.


"... And this suit is more than just another Gundam!" With a backflip the crossbone slammed into one of the loose meteoroids and looked up towards the enemy.


"Crossbone, Open Face!" With a shout the Face of the suit change, vents all over the body released a massive wave of heat. With a terrifying speed the Gundam rocketed forward and appeared almost directly in front of the Quanta, with a massive wave of killing intent she swung the Zanber, trying to cleave her enemy in half.
 
Glaive Team


Outside colony at lagrange 4 "Kellville"



Resource Asteroid field.



As the Sazabi's funnels opened up and Romano's message came through, Athena smirked, activating her unit's I-field, deflecting the Funnel blasts as her wings released her own swarm of Funnels and she drew two beam-swords Her funnels getting into an elegant and deadly dogfight with the Sazabis's units. She hits her thrusters, beginning to close the distance, eyes cold, smirk in place as she careens towards the Sazabi type unit. "Lets see how the classic model compares!" She says mirthlessly as the distance rapidly decreases. As she flies, some of her funnels go after the second Exia class, firing an intensive barrage of fire at the unit to try to force it to fall back.


Eritreus's warning beeper goes off as the two mass produced Exia's head for him, firing wildly, he guffaws as his Gustav karl dodges the fire, using the asteroids for cover as he fired volley after volley of rifle bursts and missile at them. "whoah these fuckers are insane!" one fo the Exia's comes in with its blade, slashing wildly. "Insane and inexperienced!" Eritreus dodge's his unit far more mobile than its bulk indicates, drawing his own blade, parrying the Exia's attacks while he figures out the pattern, soon the Exia's pilot would experience a side kick from the Gustav right into the Mobilesuits cockpit area in an attempt to shake the pilot into making more mistakes.


As the Crossbone engaged the Quanta, two signatures come careening towards them, the two Mithril augmented Stark pack equipped Four Eyes Jegans, firing their rapid fire beam SMG's "Glaive Two to Crossbone, two Stark Four-eyes coming in to back you up!" States Lieutenant Gantz Blackburn as he and Lieutenant Anka Kerensky move to flank the Quanta and help the Crossbone. Meanwhile Glaive's four and five begin a high speed strafe attack on the Sazabi in wave rider mode, firing their beam weapons and a volley of missiles from their missile-pods at the enemy unit. "YEEEEEHAW!" bellows out Glaive four's pilot, Lieutenant Commander John "Tex" Granger as he careens at the Sazabi, opening up with all his ReZel has. Lieutenant Junior grade Alison Illios keeping pace, firing as she goes in her own ReZel.
 
Akito sensed what was about to happen as soon as the Crossbone's face opened. With two other suits coming for him he saw no other way around this. Akito activated the Trans - AM system, the Quanta turned bright red and began to give off a greater amount of GN Particles. It would look like the Crossbone cut the Quanta in half, but in reality it was just the After image of a Quantum Teleportation. The Quanta reappered with all six sword bits on the GN Sword V forming a GN Buster Rifle. He fired a large blast of GN beam energy to obliterate the two custom mass produced suits and their non newtype pilots who would never see his teleportation coming.


"My machine is the third step in a long line of Gundams, built of agility and speed. You'll know my power, as I can see yours. But this is not just for you but for all those present." Akito said. His GN particles then spread all throughout the current battlefield like a green blizzard. As his power spread through these high purty GN particles his allies would find their will and power increased. His enemies would feel his intent to kill form a suffocating feeling. The mass produced Exia pilots suddenly changed tactics, their moves would become more coordinated and well put together. But even more they activated Trans - Am as well,their suits glowing bright red as their performance increased exponentially. Their GN Drives also giving off large amount of GN Particles. But Akito could feel it now, their waning life forces but they were giving their all to this fight.
 
(You know, In hindsight I REALLY should have asked to have the Quanta scaled back to an exia or at least a 00 Riser.)


Saul choked at the weight in his chest, turned away from the fight at hand to fast the wave that hit him. The sense of joy in his battle washed away and something else overwhelmed his senses. Those who couldn't understand the way newtypes do, who couldn't see what he could see could never begin to understand the sensations that overtook him. A singular emotion he hadn't felt in as long as he could remember.


Fear.


While those who couldn't see only saw lights, who couldn't understand felt only confusion, he could see it plane as day. The face of a demon formed where Akito stood and Finally he had the first of the answers he was seeking. This power was the reason for the Belt Incident. This was the true power of the Newtypes.

The bridge aboard the Arcadia was going wild, as the various aids and helmsmen tried to assess the situation.


Kiting himself wasn't faring much better under the situation.


"Ensign, Status, What the hell is going on!?" He shouted at one of the closest bridge officers.


"There's been some kind of massive energy burst near Kellville sir, or rather, several smaller bursts leading to a single massive spike of that same unidentified energy signature we've been reading. We're talking WMD levels of output, wide coverage." The Young officer tried his best to explain the situation.


"Damn this! Switch to battle configuration and put all forces into DEFCON 1 combat mode! Lt. Tulsa send a wide message to any ships in this or any neighboring sectors, tell them we may have encountered a new enemy superweapon!"

Halvey Waylev had just finished his surgery, he was barely in any state of conciousness. But he could see something, hear something. People, Voices. His heart began to race as he began to feel a distant battle. He could see the Ikari, Alexis, others. He began to write in his sleep and medical staff rushed over, pushing in another dose of anesthesia. The visions began to fade.


-------------


Ikari could feel the weight of the GN particles weighing down on her, her nose began to bleed profusely, her eyes felt like they were trying to climb out of her skull, every bone in her body felt like it was going to shake apart into splinters. But she wouldn't quit. Where will power couldn't win, her conditioning and vast array of neural implants were happy to take over. Eyes glazed over and her body became still, her movements became more precise, and practiced, as uposed to her more personal and elegant motions of before. More over, her thoughts closed away and the pressure she had been exerting fell silent.


These changes came as something of a suprise to the first Exia pilot to come careening her way. Whether do to over-reliance on the speed of his trans am or his own fading life causing just a moment of hesitation the swing was just late enough that the Crossbone was able to catch the blow. the QF pilot's eyes widened at this and the Crossbone drew its Blaster with lightning speed. panicing, the pilot mashed his controls to activate his teleportation. The Exia reappeared several yards back. With a new hole where the cockpit used to be. A fluke to be sure, but it was all that was needed to bring the enemy down by one.


With a moment of freedom, Ikari launched back towards the others, she couldn't take the Quanta as it was, but working with the others the could at least break down the weaker forces. In her almost mechanical tone she used her thoughts to push through communications to the others in spite of the interference.


"All forces, begin a strategic withdrawal to the ships. Alexis, Athena focus your attention on the smaller Gundams for now. Do what damage you can and then fall back."
