-Zaine-

Zaine made another pass at the Positron Cannon. This time, he readied a beam sword to strike the cannon since the GN Sword was deflected by the defense turrets. He noticed the missiles and dodged in such a way that the missiles slammed into the Thanatos. Readying the Rifle, He aimed to decaptiate all four units in one volley.

-Dante-

Seeing as his chance to escape came, he shot out of the Hangar and went to attack a few more.

--Maria--

It's playtime then.

The opponent did not mind destroying the base and only had one thing in mind---her blood. She can play this like a tactician. she blocks with her right beam shield to fend off the melee attacks after the short-lived rifle was done for. Even with the opponent's heightened senses she could match her opponent's move blow for blow, step by step. The first few sequences threw her off, this time it's for real.

With the vertical slash incoming, she jettisons the turtle-like backpack. No use for that anymore, she thinks. This frees her up, as this gave her acceleration and mobility she did not previously have. Drawing her other beam saber and powering up the left beam shield again, it should be obvious she prefers this pace.

The gigantic slash was useless as she jerks to the right, and counterattacks with a left beam saber slash, with tight, rapid change maneuvers that could turn a natural's insides into goo.

His slash had cut her backpack in half resulting in a massive explosion between the two combatants. Kylern was forced back in his machine in order to reassess his situation when the Legend drew a second beam saber. His own weapon was large enough to be considered two weapons but because his unit could wield it one handed he needed to be careful. She created a second beam shield and Kylern readied his own left arm to deploy his break field should he need to. He actually had a plan...

Once again he activated his break field to catch her beam saber strike and then pushed his Max Boosters to full power. His sudden boost was meant to catch the enemy by surprise as he plowed his break field head on into the Legend to cause mass amounts of damage. Even if she positioned her own beam shields up to try and stop his head on attack he just planned on plowing through. His break field surrounded his unit to the back so she wouldn't be able to swing at his sides to try and stop him.

-Camilla and SPARTANs-

As Camilla's Sisquiede moved and danced quickly out of the way of the missiles, she countered with two other Beam Blasts at the second VF-11 --- and pointed her finger at two of the SPARTANs, who obligedly broke off from the group without delay and took up formation to either side of her. "You two, with me. Form a squad. Lead them to me for AoOs."

Then the two SPARTANs broke off, one in each direction, circled forward, and synchronously fired off a volley of Hand Cutter beams at both VF-11s while Camilla moved in, from the center point, and drew the Sisquiede's two Beam Sabers as the SPARTANs in her squad coordinated their attacks with their squad leader. Once the two VF-11s were close enough, the Sisquiede suddenly charged, Camilla yelling ferally, and slashed at one each in flyby.

The other SPARTANs were up against the DC elites. One of the SPARTANs (thinning the numbers down to 14 in total) were caught in the railgun fire and incinerated, but the rest spread out again in one circular wave and countered with their own volley as they moved and closed --- and attempted to move in that the custom Guarlions from all directions, surrounding them with attacks both melee and ranged.

--Maria--

Maria's beam saber strike was unsuccessful as it was blocked by that break field. And, taking a page form her earlier attacks, the enemy kept up with that charge. But, with her beam shields deployed she was out of harms way... for now. She sees were this charge is going.

The enemy plows straight into her unit, (OOC: that's what SHE said) but with the beam shields holding up, she's only just getting pushed, albeit with a tremendous amount of force. She did not resist with thrusters of her own. The impact was big, but since she expected the charge the shock wasn't fully achieved.

Still, she takes a breather, even with the sensors warning her, with the Temjin just pushing the Legend across the base and her beam right beam shield being the only thing protecting her from the field...

Kylern had her... He pushed her right out of the vital part of the base and then made his next move. His blade was positioned for a thrust and because of the light from the barrier it was impossible to see into what he was doing. Then just as they over uninhabited ground his barrier broke down just below the center where he was in contact with the enemies beam shield.

No words, no warning he thrusted his blade through the opening and through where the Legend was. The entire time kept his boost up causing his entire machine to start glowing hot. Kylern's body was feeling the strain but the current state of his altered pysche prevented him from caring or realizing he was being drive far beyond his body limits.

-Templars-

The small nimble Thunderbolts danced around around the first series of beam shots without a care as they fired bursts of their gunpods on the enemy unit.

Then some new foes entered the scene the fighter pilots were forced to go on the defensive. But this was broken up as the other team came diving down on the Spartens with gunpods a blazing from behind followed by a series of missiles to save the trapped Alpha Team.

The fact the enemy Gundam drew its beam sabers meant nothing as both units dived out of its path and headed for the deck firing their pulse beam guns at the Gundam behind them daring it to chase them.

--Maria--

She was waiting...waiting. Maria knew that the enemy wouldn't just keep her pushed for an extended period of time. As she notes earlier, if he were to go to an offense with weapons, the field would have to go.

That window of opportunity came, and it was big enough to stab his melee weapon through. "THERE!" Maria exclaims with venom. With her left hand free, and seeing the melee straight for her face, there's no way she could defend it, not even with her other beam shield. It was too pointed to pierce that it can't be defended.

So with that same opening, she thrust her beam saber into that same hole that just broke through, shearing a good part of her arm by the field and the blade moving in the opposite direction. At this angle, she's aiming to stab the head/upper torso, as her own unit's head explodes, and Maria being rocked inside with her main sensors shutting off. Good thing is that the PS Armor prevents the heat for getting too dangerous for her Legend, while her enemy boils.

- Leon -

The Exia nimbly dodged the missiles fired by Icer squadron... which meant they were now on a direct course for the Thanatos

"Sonnuva--! Evade!"

"Too late!"

The missiles slammed into the ships hull, causing minor damage to the lower deck area.

"Goddamit... where's the target?" questioned Leon.

"Directly ahead of us, engaging the Icer squdadron."

"Target the Nimbus and fire. I want that bastard down and out for the count."

"But, sir, he's far too close!" The weapons officer said nervously. "If we fire it now, the likelyhood of Thanatos suffering damage as well is--"

"If we don't destroy him, eventually he'll whittle away at us until all the Thanatos' weapons have been destroyed. Fire the Nimbus, [/i]now[/i]!"

Seven more warheads burst forth from the Thanatos' prow, this time arcing at a much shorter trajectory than before. As they closed in on the Exia, Leon grinned deviously.

"Dodge that."

It was only then that Leon realized he'd failed to warn the Icer squadron of the coming attack. Oh well. They had been facing the ship while the Exia was facing away. They should have been able to seen it coming and evade.

The warheads detonated, filling the space in front of the ship--and around the Exia--with fire and shrapnel. As the weapons officer had feared, the sheer proximity of the detonations had an adverse effect on the Thanatos--the shock of the blast shook the ship more violently than it had before, nearly throwing Leon off his feet. Several displays flickered on and off, the ship's electrical systems being thrown out of whack. Soon enough, however, it was over.

"Heh. No problems at all. I don't know what you guys were so worried about..."

------------------------------------------------------------------
- Thanatos -
- Brig -

The lights in Strike's cell flickered on and off. The battle outside seemed to be getting more violent. He just hoped that he didn't get taken down in the crossfire...

At the moment lights flickered, Strike also heard a strange beeping sound coming from the electronic lock on his door. He studied it, frowning.

"Hmm... I wonder..." Slowly, he stood and approached the panel next to the door's deadbolt and began to fiddle with it.

She had managed to get her beam saber into his shield but it didn't save her. The stab sheared through the shoulder and into part of his Max Boosters causing his barrier to break down completely but the match was over. Kylern discharged his beam energy as he pulled his blade down through the Legend trying to obliterate the Gundam in one final attack.

After his chop he pulled away quickly and dived into ocean nearby as his unit read critical in terms of heat. His V-Converter shut down temporarily as his unit floated down onto the outcroppings near the underwater sub pen entrance.

Zaine had to move fast. He noticed the hangar was still open, So he escaped the attack by jetting into the Thanatos at the last second. Once the smoke was clear, he left and landed on the nose of the ship.

"What were you trying to hit? I'm still here!" He shouted.

-Camilla and SPARTANs-

"Weaklings," Camilla muttered as the other VF-11s came in to rescue the first team and attacked her wingmen from behind, bringing one of them down; The other quickly regrouped with Camilla and, spinning, fired his Beam Rifle and Hand Cutter at the incoming group. Camilla used this moment to instead blaze by the entire Templar Squadron --- facing all of them --- and using the SPARTAN as a distraction Camilla swung the Sisquiede's Beam Cannon over again.

And let loose a series of shots at each of them from behind as she headed closer towards Aidoneus Island.

-Masamune-

Something was wrong --- as soon as Masamune had began his swing, however, Zero gave him flashes of images again, confusing...until one single image prevailed. That of him running smack into the Wing Zero's beam, seeing light, and vaporizing. It enveloped Masamune's mind until it was all he could see. Is there no way around this? No solution? Masamune asked. No response. So that's it? You would abandon me?

The grating mental noise in his mind made Masamune wince --- was Zero laughing at him for being such a gullible fool?

There'll be other pilots after you, fool.

Masamune winced.

Others who will be more suitable for me...others who will *live* for me. You were but a pawn, little fool --- one that is soon to die.

The image expanded then, and it blocked his vision completely --- almost.

When the aforementioned light came at him at the end of the turn, something else tugged at his mind, that previous feeling of old, of him being defiant and fierce and noble...noble? Nonetheless, Masamune suddenly and sharply woke up to the sight of the Wing Zero firing the coup de grace at him --- and Masamune sharply brought the flight sticks upwards, defying his fate. "Imbecile!" Masamune cried out as the entire Efreet Custom shook with the blast --- and the blast taking off the entire lower body and a good portion of the Force Silhouette pack. The Efreet Custom was plummeting.

But not before Masamune sneered and, while the unit still had power, swung both Beam Sabers at the Wing Zero as it fell past Wingnut, hoping it would do some damage. That was the extent of the fight, though --- soon, without power and with the Force Silhouette pack cutting off power, the Efreet Custom plummeted towards the ocean below and Aidoneus Island nearby without ceremony.

Zaine then got serious.

"Let me ask you this... How do you want to die?" Was his question for the Commander of the Thanatos.

Icer Team

Thankfully the Icer team didn't set of the missile's secondary stage leaving them little more than explosive warheads; They saw the missiles launch and rather than fight they pulled back, which also allowed them to dodge the Rifle shots. They managed to get far enough that their shields defended them from the blast but, when it subsided, they didn't see their enemy.

Snow: "did we get him?"

Wight: "not likely..."

Icer: "cut the chatter and start looking; teams of two"

Sume Gai

as Dante ran the Garlions made to follow him their Tesla drives however couldn't hope to keep up with the 7 GN drives of the Alvatore; Gai couldn't either so they let him leave..

Instead Gai and the two Garlions the turned thier attention to some nearby Metal Armors.

--Maria--

She had managed to destroy the reason that made this battle harder than it should be---and with that the barrier is broken down. With the blade still sitting on where her unit's head was supposed to be, it started to move down with a failed attempt to cut. No, the momentum won't let him get a free slice at Maria that easily, although an energy discharge sent her torso glowing.

Again, she uses her legs to kick off from the enemy, and pushes the blade away with her shield, as she had to get a breather, with all the smoke in her cockpit. It was no surprise that the enemy overheated and dove for the nearest cool source (OOC: that would completely fudge up the unit more :P ), but her Legend... was messed up. After the thrust to the Temjin it rendered her left arm useless.

She had to retreat, thus started to head back down to the Thanatos for cover. "Returning to ship," Maria sighs with a broken voice through a broken radio. In her mind, she thinks she won, as she had done her objective while stalling the opponent's. Could have gone better, but she'd have to make do.

EDIT - addressed the discharge issue

- Zaraki -

A little bug dares to try and stop me?

Zaraki fires the left arm beam gatlings at the small machine to keep it occupied and continues towards the Thanatos. Specifically on a collision course with the Lohengrin with the break field now activated.

- Troye unit -

While the strategy used by the SPARTANs was a good one, it also left them vulnerable to a tactic called the smash and shoot circle. A defensive formation attack that used the 12 Guarlions in pairs with one of the pair charging out with the break field on that would turn aside any shots fired at it while another trailed it and kept the enemy in front off balance with railgun fire.

By now what was left of the regular DC forces had regrouped and flew into the void where the Guarlions were to cover their backs from any Daughtress Neos that managed to get behind them.

- Wingnut -

Masamune's last strike was of only minimal effect as the sabers were turned aside by the shield and saber of the Wing Zero. As he watched the Efreet fall Wingnut felt a bit of sympathy for the fallen warrior, but Zero quickly quashed that thought as it reminded him that there was still a battle going on.

Wingnut transformed into bird mode, or at least tried to as a damage report came in that the shield had been weakened by the attacks it absorbed in the battle and would be unable to hold together during the high speed flight.
It wasn't that fragile in the series. I'll have to get them to reinforce that.
As such, Wingnut's fuel efficiency would be reduced further and somewhat limit his remaining time on the battlefield.
He then moved toward the main part of the island where he would be of the most use.

However, there was something not quite right in Wingnut's mind. The Red Eagle should be here, but where did he go? Even Zero was having trouble finding him as he had somehow disappeared from the battle.

((Don't worry, I'm not doing anything drastic with him and he will be back in the battle shortly.))

(I did discharge not just slash so you would have still eaten that beam slash wave but meh)

She was right about the unit being damaged a bit again but it was either that or ruining the valuable V-Converter and Crystal. His unit just needed to a break to let its systems cool down more than the armor. The armor of the TEMJIN did contract and crack in several places but it beat the alternative...

In the cockpit though Kylern was raging mad himself. His fist planted into the side of the cockpit wall causing small beads of blood to flow. "Damn bitch... I'll kill her next time!" He sat for what felt like a few minutes because his unit kicked back on and his tesla drive lifted him out of the water. His unit was now a dull gray color with black burn marks in several places instead of that beautiful white finish. And despite the fact it was damaged in several places it was still in better condition than the Legend. He could still fight and his unit still had its limiters pulled allowing him free rein of the rest of its abilities. He needed to be careful though because his left booster was damaged and couldn't take much pressure.

Now that he noticed what appeared to be a large Gundam towards the island and it was being engaged by the VF-11 team from the Ceres. "Looks like I gotta keep someone else busy..." He grinned trying to roll the damaged left shoulder of his unit and finding it sluggish.

His AI was reading -Warning full combat unadvisable. Damage too extensive-

"Shut up and don't argue with me!" He yelled as he brought his PWS around and split the blade to draw energy into it. The enemy Gundam was coming at him with its attention on the dodging VF-11s which made it was easy target. Beam energy drew into the barrel as he fired at the preoccupied Mono-eyed Gundam with his split fire beam cannon.

-Templars-

The enemies rate of fire was incredible... It just kept hammering at them with that beam cannon like it was shooting a water pistol... This forced the Valk team to widen their positions and make it more difficult to aim at them all as they continued to fire their gunpods at fire the Spartan to get it out of the way. Then with a series of HM missiles they locked on and fired at the Mono-eyed Gundam after getting a high energy signature coming from the land. The dodged away in order to avoid being shot at as.

((The first half When Zaine turns it around))

Zaine Vs. (Dante: Showdown)

Zaine prepared to slice the Thanatos bridge in Half, But Dante shouted "Time to end this!" before tackling the Exia away from the ship.
Zaine broke free and fired off a few shots, which Dante evaded. the two clashed swords for a good while, and Dante made it quite clear he intended to win, and it almost seemed like it. They shot at each other for a while, but Dante's attacks became relentless and he charged in for the kill. " Once you're dead, my mission is complete." Dante said cooly to Zaine. He brought his rifle up to the Exia's cockpit and prepared to shoot.
"I can't lose here... not now... not EVER!" Zaine said before severing Dante's right arm by stabbing at him and switching the weapon to Rifle mode. he then Let loose a hellstorm of beam shots, which overloads the Rifle, forcing Zaine to eject it and draw a Beam Sword. He then Charged Dante. "This..." Dante shoots off the right leg. "Ends..." His arm is shot off. ".......NNNNOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!" Zaine said as he drove his beam sword into the Alvaaron's GN Drive. They went into the air, where Zaine decided to abandon the Exia, (Only moments before the Alvaaron stabbed it's own beam sword through the Exia's GN Drive) making use of the Parachute he hid in the Cockpit. the resulting explosion ripped through his parachute, sending him down toward the ocean. It's over...

"How? Meh. Haven't ever thought about it...though I certainly don't expect to be done in by an arrogant kid like you," Leon chastised, a playful smile on his face. Still, he couldn't help but be a little worried. His options were slowly but surely starting to run out at this point...

All of a sudden, the Alvaaron came out of nowhere and tackled the Gundam Exia, sending both of them hurdling towards the ocean.

"Whew..." Leon muttered. "Close one..."

Wan Fey Lo

Wan wasn't about to let the sonic scream escape. as He evaded the beam cannons with a looping moition he contacted his team

"Icer; give me support fire"

The split Icer team began to converge on the machine firing their six remaining missiles at him.

-Camilla-

Just as it looked like Kylern's sneak attack was about to connect, however, the beams bounced off a meter away from the Sisquiede's back from the Beam Cannon's I-Field Generator. This caught Camilla's attention all the same as she wheeled and flipped the Sisquiede around to face her new opponent. "Sneak Attack damage, huh? Too bad about the DR 20/Non-Beam Weaponry the Sisquiede has, hmm --- I almost felt that one. Nobody gives a thought about Damage Reduction nowadays...Now let's see how my beams fare!"

Then Camilla wheeled the Sisquiede into a dive, straight at Kylern in a confusing zigzag, and squeezed off three shots from the Beam Cannon at the 747.

-SPARTANs-

Quickly and in unison, the twelve remaining SPARTANs attacking Troye Unit (the second of Camilla's wingmen had been finished off by the Templars by now) quickly split up to avoid the counterattack and, seeing the Troye Unit split up into two-man teams, switched their own formations. Circling around and regrouping into a wave of four three-man teams, the SPARTAN teams moved forward, one after another, at individual pairs in the Troye Unit.

"Jetstream Attack."

The lead Daughtress Neo in each squad began the assault with dual Beam Cutter fire at the lead Troye Unit partner, then swerve away in one direction --- letting the second after it to fire its Beam Rifle at the lead partner as well, keeping her pinned down, and then swerve in another direction entirely. That was when the third would close in with Beam Cutters drawn and slash at the first partner with the Break Field, while the first and second Daughtress Neos would attack in unison from different directions; The first with its Beam Rifle at the second, and the second moving sideways, launching its Wired Beam Cutters forward, and making medium-ranged melee attacks at both. The three would then regroup, shuffle their formation, and attack again.
