(Late appearance but he was in Asia last time I posted for him.)
-Nowe-
His Advance GN-X was repaired and re-armed at a nearby Fandom base. It was there he had learned of an operation to assault the Federation base in Taipei. So like the vulture he was Nowe decided to make his presence reknown to the Federation and Fandom forces. Not that anyone cared but he did... He had this overbloated ego in which he deserved something more than the crap he had been given throughout his career.
So Proto-GN lance and Advance beam rifle in hand Nowe found a target worthy of his skills. And these were assaulting his fellow troops with surprising skill. "Prepare for death you silly little toys!" It was then that out of the sky the scarred GN-X dropped down on top of an Ikarus driving his GN-lance towards it while it was focusing on destroying a poor little nameless grunt.

*Fweeeeet*
"From above? Tch-"
The Proto-GN lance of Nowe's GN-X slid along the shoulder armor as the Ikarus it had been targeting suddenly did a half roll outside of the stabbing pattern, causing the strike to pass right across the chest of the Ikarus after the lance had been bumped off of the shoulder. This put the advance right between the Ikarus and it's Jinx prey.
"Hmm, such an outdated model.."
The pilot of the Ikarus poured on the GN vulcan fire into the face of the passing Adv. GN-X while coming up in a slash with it's saber on the exposed torso of the suit.

-Nowe-
"They don't call me the Harbinger for nothing..." Nowe did indeed miss his first attack but instead of turning to counter he put the advance beam rifle just inside of the machines armpit as the enemy fired a few GN-vulcans at the side. These didn't cause a dent as they were absorbed by the GN defense rods while Nowe pulled the trigger on the beam rifle before the enemy swing the beam saber to strike. It was a surprise shot at point blank which hopefully only a NT could detect.
"I beckon the end to those I target..." Nowe laughed insanely as music blared in his cockpit. He was listening to Power Trip by Chimaira. And honestly it fit his personality so well... Even though he was young he had a serious chip on his shoulder that extended to even his own allies when he felt sadistic enough. And right now he was ready to break the Federation's rise in power by helping Fandom's attempt to take this base. He was sick of losing battles...

"And that mindset blinds you.."
It would be a shock to Nowe to find that his GN Protolance was in fact stuck mid strike by a GN Field, the upward strike having brought the gauntlet up with it. The strike at the armpit would then come to meet the shield full force, deflecting the shot easily as the saber would continue through to slash his rifle in half.
It would be tough to defeat this vessel and it's crew, as the fact that the entire humanoid crew had been made up of innovators...
(Before you say it: The gauntlet is on the underside of the forearm. So in an upward slash the gauntlet would be right in the path of the arm should a shot be fired at it. Check the images, and it is the left arm that is slashing.)

-Nowe-
"C'est BS!" He was feeling the pressure as his beam rifle was suddenly blocked without any effort at all. But the back blast pushed the GN-X back enough to where Nowe could spin and let the beam saber pass by him only cutting his GN lance in half.
Quickly he pulled off the enemy unit in anger. "You bastard! That comes out of my paycheck!" He literally screamed at the cockpit screen in fury before drawing igniting the beam saber mounted underneath his rifle. He unloaded a burst of GN vulcan fire on the enemy unit before charging in to attack with the beam saber. His free hand was already ready with the GN claw should he get close enough to dismember that guy with a slash. But with that previous encounter he was feeling like this might be his last battle. After all he had never lost a weapon in the first pass... This was looking bleak but his ego wouldn't let the GN-X that he had save see him run away. He would stand tall and show this freak of nature who he was messing with.

"Heh, Humans.."
The cryptic answer to Nowe's remark was met with a second saber drawn from the free hand he had, not having yet upholstered his GN Beam Rifle. as the GN rounds simply pelted the Field Barrier put up by the gauntlet on his left arm, the second saber ignited with a glow reflecting the GN particle output, a deep hypnotizing, pulsating violet.
The blade, also held like the first, made a blocking slash to meet the reaching GN claws of the free hand, while the knee's flexible armor went up toward the chest of the suit to deal it a swift knee to the cockpit.
Over the com, the voice of the pilot came into Nowe's cockpit. It was lucid and smooth, yet filled with biting venom.
"In a moment you won't be worrying about your pay, rather what you'll do as an invalid."

--Taylor--
As 4 GN-XIII's charged, two of them were actually bluffing as they zoomed past the Akatsuki and still went for the ship. "Be careful Excalibur! Two GN-X on your direction!" One of them only fires GN vulcans to strafe as its lance was disabled by Akatsuki earlier.
Now with 2 GN-XIII's right at Taylor, they both lob beam shots from their lances. She avoids the shots, until the pressure set in and she gets shot in the leg. Not a bad event, since it bounces directly back at the enemy! The GN-XIII didn't even see it coming as its own beams blew the right arm off, the one holding the GN Lance. A small hit in power, shouldn't be too bad...
As that one was stunned, the other one was already thrusting, forcing Taylor to stow the rifle and grab the beam saber. As Taylor parries the lance with some effort, the GN-XIII pilot, like clockwork, responds with a forceful kick in the waist area, hurtling the Akatsuki.
"Gnhh!" Taylor gets the wind knocked out of her for a bit. As the Gundam fell downwards, the GN-XIII made for a second run with the lance. Taylor had time to recover from her fall, firing the two beam cannons at the Fandom unit, if only to distract it. The pilot evades the shots and pulls back to regroup himself.
--Rachel--
With four GN-XIII's surrounding her, Rachel gets limited to a defensive position, even her bits cannot control the tempo of the battle. One GN-XIII charges with the lance, she responds with the beam shotgun. Gets blocked by a GN-field. Rachel grunts in frustration, but her tiredness also takes its toll when a GN-XIII attacks with the rifle in this small window, shooting her down square in the torso, knocking her Gundam away and falls to the ground. Her bits still fend off the GN-XIII's from getting an easy kill, but it's not looking good, until...
--Slug--
One of the GN-XIII's charging at Rachel gets its torso blasted to hell, destroying it. Slug, from a fairly long range, comes back to join the ruckus, having guided Antonio away for a bit. "Sorry Rachel," he says, for his absence the first few minutes of combat.
He follows it up with a flurry of smartgun blasts with relatively fast rate of fire, keeping the Fandom units moving and dodging.
"You can explain later...." Rachel responds. She's a bit tired to bitch right now.
The three GN-XIII throw yet another anti-beam grenade at Slug's direction, but this change of focus allows Rachel to get out of the corner she's been trapped to.
--ZetaPlus Team--
The five who came back to help gets within range and fires their rifles and beam cannons (5 rifle, 10 beam cannon) at the first 2 gunboats they locked into.

Sume Gai
Zaine's last question was interesting and if Gai was guessing right explained his worries about Tallis.
"I suppose the best way to put it would be... She's one of my treasured friends and someone I fight to protect, a group that many aboard this ship are a part of."
(I'm invoking the 48 hour rule Wingnut)
Avalon/Jason Lancer
The missiles and CIWS fire met in the attacking group's face proving disastrous for them. A field of explosions, something PPBs couldn't stop, sprouted around them and their escorts engulfing one Gunboat completely and crippling the other two. their escorts faired better having lost only one of their number but still receiving significant damage. all three of the GN-X III's missing either an arm or leg or both charged the KMF with their lances firing bursts of particles at it.
Clare Rosewater
the blinded Fandom pilot finally switched to the back up camera but it was too late. The tip of Clare's MVS was the only and last hing he saw as the red blade stabbed into the cockpit and bisected the pilot's upper body cleanly. Clare moved the blade upwards and pulled back as the dead machine plummeted to earth.
The Female pilot followed this by readying and firing the Hadron cannon again this time managing to blow straight though a GN-X II and remove the right arm of a GN-X. The group of three mechs that had been part of that team turned towards their new foe as she let the Hadron cannon fold back over her shoulder.
Hal Goodson
the two who were fighting Hal found them selfs in close range seconds after Hal's Baryon attack the first with the damage left arm fell as the double polearms swung right through the cockpit. the second charge intending to skewer the smaller machine as his dead companion fell to the ground.
The Tristan's extreme mobility again proved itself as the pilot evaded to the side and stabbed his polearm into the barely exposed chest condenser. Hal pulled away in time to avoid the explosion as orange particles began streaming out of machine and it exploded.
Jason Lancer
Jason activated the MSV shield just in time to deflect the incoming beams then the shoulder pieces slid into place as four Hardon Cannons revealed tehmselves and fired. Two of the GN-X III"s were ddestroyed completely by the blast but the third was quick enough to dash skywards and evade.
It's lance at the ready the pilot charged Lancer, no time left to bring up the shield or retaliate. the attack never landed as the PIlot found his machine cut at the hip from behind, the Galahad's large enhanced MVS sword treating the mech's armor like butter. The pilot found his section of the mech tumbling out of control past his target and into the groud crushing the cockpit, The remaining section it's condenser damaged in the attack continued forward over shooting it's original target and exploding behind it.
-Avalon-
The final KMF pilot awaited launch as she saw her Captain's impressive feat. the Avalon it self had risen high above the main group by now and was protected from below by the MVS shields and from above by it's own CIWS.

"Tch, it's so boring in here I wish something would happen." he said as he sulked in the corner of his cell.

-Lyon-
"Back up those Gundam-like machines!" Lyon ordered to the Daggers before turning to the GN-XIIIs that got past Taylor.
She charged them and drew both her beam sabers before making two upwards slashes, one for each GN-XIII, slicing them in two.
-Excalibur-
Seeing what the Avalon did to the gunboats that were trying to down it, Luna decides to offer a similar treatment for the gunboats trying to attack them.
"Load the missile tubes, target the gunboats and fire!" Before the missiles fired at the gunboats, a message was sent to the Ikarus pilots warning them of the missile strike.
-Zaine-
He let out a sigh of relief at the answer Gai gave to his question. Good... he sees her as a friend... "Then I hope you won't have any objection to me staying on this ship, Gai. I care about her, and i'd never forgive myself if anything happened to her."

While the Excalibur's idea was sound, the fact that their missiles were large and better suited for anti-ship duty than anti-air, the Gunboats were able to dodge the projectiles, however one was caught by heavy AA laser fire and had to break off due to losing his shields. The other continued its run and fired a torpedo directly at the Excalibur's bridge as its own shields were weakening from the barrage.
The battlefield was getting overall more chaotic now with the arrival of the Ptolemaios XIII's Ikarus and more GN-X units that were escorting Gunboats broke off to cover gaps left by other downed units. There were still enough of them however to give the Innovator pilots a good fight before it was over.
- Roberto -
The attack did indeed pierce the cockpit and Roberto's head in the process. However, this also activated a dead man's switch which prepped another MLC missile for launch, and detonated it just outside the Gilgazamune, destroying it completely and damaging anything nearby.

-Dagger L Squad-
One Gunboat got through the laser fire and launched a torpedo at the bridge of Excalibur.
Both Dagger Ls quickly boosted onto the ship and one boosted into the way and used it's shield to block the projectile while the other turned it's beam rifle on the one that got through and timed a dual barrage as the other Dagger raised it's beam rifle and also shot at it.
-GM Custom-
The GM Custom turned it's beam rifle on the Gunboat that broke off due to losing it's shield and opened up on it.

-Ptolemy-
"Ma'am, the assault craft are still coming. They've pinned down the White Sphynx ship."
"Bring up the main guns, tell the gunnery crews to target one of those tri-wings and blow them to hell."
The order was relayed to the gunnery teams for the main batteries, the large cannons rising out of the deck of the ship as the barrels rotated and elevated skyward. As the Gunboats were lazed, the cannons began to charge their shots..
"Ma'am, all cannon crews report target acquisition and are ready to fire."
"Make ready to drop shields on my command."
As the Gunboats continued their onslaught and approached on the hangar row where the Excalibur and Ptolemaios were moored, they'd notice the shields dropping momentarily on the long white and gray ship. Moments later they'd get a face full of highly compressed beam fire.
"Drop shields and FIRE!"
The shields dropped, the violet aura around the ship falling away soon before volleys of pink energy lanced out from the ship targeting the closest Gunboats to their position.
-Ikarus teams-
The Ikarus teams simply scoffed at the futile idea of continuing the onslaught as many other GN-X units filled the holes that they had already made. With eyes rolling and laughter abound in several cockpits, the Innovator pilots went to work continuing their assault on the very people that were assaulting the base.
One by one the Ikarus pilots inched closer toward their Gunboat prey, the assault craft already under fire from the Ptolemy's cannons.
One pilot couldn't help but make a remark on the whole situation.
"It's a pitty that these people were the first of humanity's spacefarers. They put the final frontier to shame..absolute shame."

-Cassan-
He had done it... His blade pierced through the heart of the machine and he could feel its death breath. But before he could pull away a MLC was fired and detonated just outside of his Gundam. There was a massive explosion and the then the falling of the unit from the sky as its armor smoked and pieces had fallen off. The Divine pack had also been devestated inhibiting his ability to stay afloat.
*CRASH!*
The Testament hit the ground hard as its pilot lost consciencess.
-Nowe-
The hand wasn't outreached but ready for a slash should he get close enough... So when the enemy slashed Nowe quickly deflected it with his own beam saber. But the knee came up crashing into the GN enhanced armor and causing the unit to lean forward. Too bad for the enemy but as he leaned in the GN claw indeed reached out and pierced the GN barrier (its a solid GN weapon just like the Exia's sword) just to travel through aiming for the cockpit to kill the pilot. Odds were he would lose his unit but he wanted to take this guy down before his fight was over.

The torpedo had been blocked at the cost of the shield and forearm of the Dagger L that blocked it. As such when the Gunboat fired on it with the beam guns, it was unable to defend itself and exploded, blinding everyone on the bridge for a couple moments.
The other Dagger L managed to hit the upper left wing of the craft however and sent it spinning out of control as it flew close enough to take out one of the radar antennas on the ship as it sailed by to eventually crash into the ground behind the Excalibur.
The other Gunboat did not fare well either as while its pilot was attempting to re-power the shields, it took a beam shot in the port engine, causing it to explode.
Many of the other teams were having similar trouble, in particular those near the Ptolemy. Although their shields were powerful enough to take a few hits from weapons carried by mobile suits, the main guns of a capital ship were another matter as one pilot learned the hard way when a beam tore through his craft, destroying it instantly.
The others saw their chance however as they quickly fired off a salvo of 4 torpedoes between them hoping to hit the ship before it could re-raise its shields.
The GN-X units were unexpectedly overwhelmed by the performance of the new model suits and as such their numbers were dwindling fast.
Nearly half of the Jinx units had fallen by various means and 6 of the 15 Gunboats had been destroyed.
Unfortunately for the Federation, the Taipei base had taken heavy damage from the assault.
"Make the next attack run your last and then begin retreat to the assigned points!" came the general call over the Fandom channel from the Gunboat squadron leader.
((That means one or two more "turns" per player before the Fandom starts running.))
The other Dagger L managed to hit the upper left wing of the craft however and sent it spinning out of control as it flew close enough to take out one of the radar antennas on the ship as it sailed by to eventually crash into the ground behind the Excalibur.
The other Gunboat did not fare well either as while its pilot was attempting to re-power the shields, it took a beam shot in the port engine, causing it to explode.
Many of the other teams were having similar trouble, in particular those near the Ptolemy. Although their shields were powerful enough to take a few hits from weapons carried by mobile suits, the main guns of a capital ship were another matter as one pilot learned the hard way when a beam tore through his craft, destroying it instantly.
The others saw their chance however as they quickly fired off a salvo of 4 torpedoes between them hoping to hit the ship before it could re-raise its shields.
The GN-X units were unexpectedly overwhelmed by the performance of the new model suits and as such their numbers were dwindling fast.

--Slug and Rachel--
With Slug attracting the attentions of the GN-XIII, Rachel was quick to react as she immediately gathers her bits and fires at the last GN-XIII to charge at the Ex-S, damaging it's arm and leg in the process, and finally disables it with a blast from the beam shotgun. The three GN-XIII would soon find that they're the ones surrounded now.
Meanwhile the other two GN-XIII decide to go for brokw and charge at the seemingly lumbering Gundam. "Take this scum!" The pilot shouts as it thrusts with the lance. Slug grabs his own melee weapon and parries it. With its other hand free, the fandom pilot tries to grab and smash the head of the Ex-S with is GN claws. With warnings blaring on Slug's screen, he uses his free hand to grip the GN unit's hand and tries to push it away. "Enjoy being smashed." Slug says as he starts to power the thrusters downwards while he has a tight hold on the Fandom unit. The GN-XIII tried to shake free, but to no avail as Slug simply thrusts until it hits the rocky surface, crushing the poor GN-XIII between solid ground and a 240-ton behemoth.
"Next!" Slug calls out as he gets up from the crater he created and the big Gundam boosted up again like it was nothing.
The other GN-XIII attempts to land some serious damage to Federation as he fired his rifle all around the base, annoying Rachel. As she charged, it flew up and away to retreat.
--Taylor--
Taylor does her best to defend the Excalibur and the base, trying to stay in front of the two GN units. It's rather hard to do. So the moment one GN-X looked away to cause more mayhem at the ground, Taylor pulls off a headshot at that GN-XIII, and then fires a secondary shot to explode its torso, both courtesy of the beam cannons. Now it's a 1-on-1: an arm-less, weaponless GN-XIII versus a still-fully functioning Gundam. Needless to say, the GN-XIII did the smart thing and backed off.
--ZetaPlus Team--
Now the aerial fleet has put itself between the base and the gunboats. Again, a barrage of beam rifle and beam cannons were fired at the gunboats.

-Lyon-
She saw what happened over at the Excalibur, and silently wept for the pilot. but now wasn't the time to grieve as she noticed a set of Gunboats attack the GN Ship.
"You helped my friends, so i'll return the favor..." She said over a Com channel before firing off a few shots at the Gunboats to try and throw them off course.
-GM Custom-
The GM Custom noted on it's radar that the Testament wasn't moving. It soon went to investigate and located said unit, which was currently on the ground, looking rather bad. "Excalibur, Testament is down."
-Excalibur-
The crew had very much been blinded by the explosion. "Status report." Luna asked after the crew could see again. "No major damage to the ship. The base however...; Also, we've recieved word that the Testament is down, pilot is still alive." Luna let out a slight sigh of relief. "All right..." She took notice of Lyon's assistance of the Ptolemaios.
"...Ready the Mega Particle Guns, target those annoying fighters and fire."
Said weapons soon appeared and fired at the Gunboats (At an angle to avoid hitting the GN ship) trying to destroy the Ptoley.

Clare Rosewater
Clare was now under pressure from 3 MS two GN-X types and one GN-X II. She began by unloading the rest of her VARIS at the two fully intact suits 3 shots each. the GN-XII lost an arm as two shots slammed into the left shoulder eating away the connection and his companion lost his weapons as all shots hit the rifle in his hand.
The GN-X drew a saber and charged the smaller mech while his GN-XII companion provided cover fire with his own rifle. Clare had only one option, the Core Luminous Cone. with some deft movements of the stick Clare activated the system which appeared as a green pyramid covering the front of the Lancelot. The GN-X and Lancelot collided, the GN-X's blade falling from it' grip at the impact, the Lanclot was forced back by the larger mass but the CLC held up proving the GN-X's undoing. The tip of the cone smashed into the chest shatering the condenser and causing the suit to explode, The Lancelot, thanks to it's shield, was unharmed.
Jennefer
the Final pilot launched late in the battle but she was determined to leave her mark she sped off towards the two Clare was still fighting. her MSV Drill starting up as she approached the one still firing at the Lancelot. The Percival landed right on top of the distracted unit and smshed her drill into it's head from above before it could react;
"Take this you unlucky bastard"
The Green drill went straight though smahing the head and theninto the torso before Jennefer jumped off. the drill had apparently hit something important as the Drive ceased to function and the unit fell to earth, silenced.
Clare Rosewater
This assistance proved vital for Clare who had been to busy dodging both the GN-X that had drawn a sword southpaw and charged her swinging and the other machine's beam rifle shots. With one gone Clare turned her attention to her foe swinging wildly at her and drew her MVS one red blade in each hand. as the GN-X let forth a powerful vertical swing Clare saw her chance; she dodged aside and closed making a slsah at the working arm's shoulder and cutting deeply followed by a second across the condenser ending the units flaiing in a burst of red.
"My fillers nearing empty I'm heading back Jenn."
The Lancelot had at this point exerted a great deal of power and even with advances in filler tech it was nearing it's operational limit thus the white mech began making a beeline for the Avalon.
Sume Gai
Zaine's reaction confirmed his suspicions.
"not at all Zaine; now it's getting late you should get some sleep we'll be at Aidoneus in the morning....
-the next morning-
The blue ship having received no external damage returned opposite the rising sun and pulled into it's new dock beside the Ceres.

-Zaine-
He nodded and went to the men's barracks to get some sleep.
-The next morning-
He wandered into the Ceres hangar with a somewhat solemn look on his face as he started towards his quarters to collect his things.
Once he entered the hangar to leave the ship, he noticed a young man carrying a sword by a red and white Gundam. It's that guy... Kirie I think was his name... He recalled the incident where Masamune changed sides and thought about the skill Kirie displayed before deciding to make a request.
"You're Kirie Morgan, the famous swordsman right? I'm Zaine, and there was something I was hoping you could help me with... If you don't mind."
he motioned with his free hand towards the sword Kirie was carrying.

- Location: In the cockpit..
-Gold 3-
"Very nice.."
The GN claws did indeed make contact and essentially gut the chest of the suit, but to the surprise of the GN-X pilot, the Ikarus actually used it's free saber to lop off the arm embedded in the chest while it was still stuck in the Ikarus.
"But not enough.."
The Innovator pilot wasn't going to be beaten so easily by an outdated GN machine, and even as the thumb claw of the Adv. GN-X penetrated the upper half of the cockpit. The pilot still used what holo-monitors he could still summon to fight, crouching inside his smoke filled cockpit.
Meanwhile, the second Ikarus unit, Gold 4, had dispatched it's assigned escort and was now floating behind Nowe waiting for his wingman to finish off the suit..
His raspy voice echoed along the com of both Gold 3 and probably Nowe's due to the vicinity.
"You're taking too long with him, need some help?"

-Ptolemy-
"Torpedos inbound!"
"Shie-"
*WHAM*
The bridge was rocked by the hits on the ship, Heading herself tumbling off the couch with a thud, others also being knocked from their stations.
"Damage report!"
"Hits confirmed on our #1 turret!"
"Casualty reports?"
"Nothing yet, ma'am. Turret is offline but the armor is holding.."
"But not for long. Raise the shields.."
"Aye Ma'am."
The guns belched once more before the violet aura covered the ship once more, smoke still billowing out of the upper starboard side of the Ptolemy's bow..
