Chapter 17: Rescue and Return (Earth)

- Above Aidoneus -

"I did." called out a voice that had been listening in on the open comm channel of the Fandom pilots.
As the camera panned skyward, it came to rest on the hovering form of the Wing Zero with a buster rifle in each hand.
- BGM = Last Impression (Instrumental) -

Wingnut had arrived on the scene in time to see Daniel's mobile suit take on the charge from the nearby ship and fire it at the Valsion, but due to the fact that his Gundanium alloyed mobile suit was invisible to radar and that those on the battlefield were focused on the attack, he had gone unnoticed until now.

His next target was the trio of GN-XIIIs that were in the area. Firing both buster rifles at full power, he aimed in between the close together Fandom MS and let the force of the beams do the work of destroying them. Which they did as all three went up in GN particle fireballs.

Noting the MP Huckebein units on the field, Wingnut opened a comm channel to the DC forces.
"Attention all beam saber equipped DC units, this is Wingnut of the Gundam Team. Move quickly and attack at close range to the Fandom mobile armors. They have a powerful shield on top, but a soft underbelly that can be exploited. Take advantage of this." Wingnut finished as he turned his attention to the two closest threats, the Descem Custom and Zamza-Zah #1.

((lets wrap this one up))
-Zamza-Zah 1-

"Upstart punk!"

The Zamza-Zah wasn't an easy target for any one unit and the commander intended to prove such as it fired the rear Multi Phase Energy Cannons at the Zero

Wraith

With the loss of the Satellite System there wasn't much hope of victory left, the GN-X III's were performing admirably but were bogged down by the numbers of enemy mechs The Zamza-Zah's each had a foe to themselves but were making little progress. In addition the Valsion was about to finish those mechs from the test team.

They had no options left; Wraith sent the retreat orders as he leveled the Black Hole Gun, brimming with Gravitic energy, and Fired at the Valsion. It was meant to draw his attention for even if he dodged the blast would do sever damage to the already badly wounded base.

-GN-X III's-

The attacking machines switched formations quickly and efficiently forming a retreating wall which spit orange beams rapidly at any who tried to stop it.

- Bian -

The beam saber attack was blocked by the field, which vanished briefly before re-forming itself. Bian was about to finish dealing with Wedge when an alarm indicated another high-energy source in the other direction.

Again Bian had to ignore Wedge (sorry) and took the blow head on. The containing field soon broke and "detonated" the energy sphere causing the black hole anomaly to manifest on the outside of the warp field. The swirling force sucked anything around it, which would include Wedge if he wasn't careful.

Although powerful, the effect was brief and soon broke down and dissipated. As did the Valsion's warp field a moment later from the strain put on it during the battle.
A Guarlion landed nearby and fired off a couple of railgun shots in Wedge's general direction to ensure that the unit was leaving with the rest of the Fandom force.

- Wingnut -

The shots from the Zamza-zah were easily dodged as Wingnut moved closer to Aidoneus when he noticed the Fandom forces retreating.
Done already? Their attack must have hinged on that big gun they had being able to do a lot of damage.

Wingnut fired a couple of short bursts in return as he flew toward the DC line and looked for any units that still needed help, but it seemed that it was not needed.

(don't worry wingy! we got what we all needed to be done)
Wedge gritted his teeth as a frigging black hole opened up right infront of him and Bian.

"Doesn't this guy care about his teammates!"
Wedge unaware of what was going on, fired all his thrusters in one direction at full power. It took every ounce of power the kampfer had to keep it in place.

Pieces of armour were torn right off from the force, an arm all the weapons that were mounted on the back were torn right off. Just as the hole started to close the Kampfer gave way suck Wedge backwards and towards the sea.

Wedge's kampfer was tumbling through the sky before it landed in the shallow waters surrounding the island. Guarlion shots streamed right passed him. His kampfer didn't show anysigns of movement.

-Zamza-Zah 1, 2 & 3-

The crew in 1 didn't like it but they had to retreat, they couldn't take out that arrogant Gundam Pilot. Instead. they held their position as the remaining GN-X III's, one of which carrying the crippled Kampfer, passed.

The one trying to face Black Mage also forced to withdraw from its own battle firing multiple shots to keep BM from following. As the two assembled below the remaining GN-X III's they all put up a wall of fire to cover their retreat.

the final one was in the middle of it's attack and thinking he had the enemy right where he wanted it continued.

Wraith

his failure to kill wasn't unexpected but it likely had the wanted effect of buying them time. Wraith, still carrying the Black Hole Gun, was forced to go around rather then pass through the newly formed line but he was ready should any try to stop him.

The subs began to pull away the GN-X III's each landing in their respective ones, the one carrying Wedge landing on the sub Wraith would soon board. The Zamza-Zah's followed and the Plane the doctor was on lead the group.

Avalon


The two opposing ships got closer together the Avalon flying high above the Minerva class. On board a chef was taking a tray of food to the prisoner. Expecting the man to be tied he entered the code the captain gave him and stepped in expecting no resistance.

((now. Omega just don't do it all in one post))
Sume Gai/Tallis Stenner

The two were on sleds burning large amounts of fuel, one of which mounted an HOS jammer which hid them both in it's wake, and quickly closing on the estimated course of the vessel, which thankfully, was right on target. It would be only moments before they reached communication range with the Ceres.

- Cerberus -

As the huge claws made to grab him, Jacob dropped down to avoid them, and then heard Wingnuts call to the DC. With both Pikes still charged, headed up, under the claws.

Driving in the tip of the right shield, Jacobrealeased the energy with a cry of Ignite Pike!" The metal rod, glowing with Terminus Energy, lanced into the belly of the Zamza-Zah.

"Once more," cried Jacob, as he followed up quickly with an identical attack from the left Pike.

-Zamza-Zah 2-

the machine didn't react quick enough to avoid the pikes and they rammed into it's belly thankfully missing the cockpit. The crew was doomed but they wanted to take the Ignite with them; They positioned the lower limbs who's claws weren't deployed and fired the Multi-Phase-Energy-Cannons at their soon to be executioner.

Daniel landed on the sub after Wedge and docked his Dechem Custom next to where his team was docked. "Hey boy, we gave them hell out there." he said to them as he stepped out of his suit.

- Cerberus -

As the two Ignite Pikes penetrated deeply into the Mobile Armour, the two rear energy cannons flipped down to fire. Unfortunately, Jacob was faster. Flipping the Terminus Cannon over the Cerberus' shoulder, and fired a stream of energy that completely engulfed the stricken Mobile Armour.

As the Zama-Zah was reduced to glowing particles, the Cerberus Ignite was silhouetted in the flames.

"Kerberos Fang."

- Bian -

The Fandom forces had completed their withdrawal back under the water form where they came. Only now would Bian turn the Valsion around and head back to the elevator. It was a personal policy to never turn his back to an enemy, even a retreating one, and it was one he would keep whenever possible.

Wingnut landed nearby and opened up a comm channel.
"Commander Bian. I hate to impose on your time so soon after an attack like this, but I do have urgent news to deliver that needs to be done in private."

"Very well. Come to my office after you finish storing your Gundam. I also expect an explanation as to why you came back to Earth in violation of your orders."

"Yes, sir. I do indeed have one that will satisfy you." Wingnut replied.

"We'll see about that." Bian said as he closed the channel and boarded the elevator headed back underground.

- Wingnut -

Well, that's no surprise that he isn't pleased to see me back so soon. Still, it's better that I'm down here right now. Things are definitely not the way I expected them to be when I left Earth. And until the situation becomes more stable, I'm going to have to remain with the Gundam Team and help guide them down the right path.

-Zaine-

He had decided that now would be the perfect time to get out of this hellhole.

Noticing the cook that entered the room, a nice little surprise was coming when he revealed that he wasn't tied up, and in a moment, a fist slammed into the chef's gut, knocking the poor soul out cold.

After tying the guy up with the same ropes that bound him, Zaine cautiously left the room and made his way towards the hangar.

- Ryker, Ceres bridge -

The bridge had just finished retracting into the ship when the weapons officer called out that the ship was in range.

"Good, ready mobile suits for launch. Advise the pilots that their targets will be the small Knightmare Frame type weapons, so be sure to equip accordingly to hit small and fast targets. Have them launch after our first salvo." Ryker replied.

"Yes, sir."

"Weps, target the enemy ship directly. Load Parsifal (anti-ship/ground) missiles into the tubes. Target their defense systems if you can."

Outside the ship, the Tristan beam cannons angled upward to attack the Avalon as the missile ports along the side of the ship opened as well.

"Tristan, fire! Parsifal, fire!" came Ryker's order as both turrets sent their deadly green beams at the Federation ship with the missile launchers firing right afterwords.
Both catapult doors also opened to allow the first pair of MS to launch.

-Before Op-

The order came down that they were attacking a ship known as the Avalon. Of course with a little pre-operation research from previous operations he found it was home to a group of KMFs. Kylern had hated Code Geass back home and had an idea what to do after seeing the combat footage.

So with that in mind he had reprogrammed the M.P.B.L.'s energy output from high energy base attack to low energy rapid fire. After all each beam would still be powerful enough to take down the tiny units they were fighting. Even the still small 16 ft TEMJIN was bitter than these guys... He also readjusted the powerbombs to a wider dispersion shockwave. The energy level would be lower and more spread out but he could increase the chance to catching on of them in the attack.

His finally adjustment was to the Radical Zapper... Normally it was a high powered anti-ship mode but he altered it as well. Instead of a focused arrow shot it would release a wide burst of destruction at a shorter range. This was the greatest part of the Multi-purpose beam launcher, it was highly adaptable.

-Operation-

Kylern slipped the VR Direct Imaging helmet and activated the Mind Shift Battle System (M.S.B.S.) and the reverse conversion hooked him up to the inside of the TEMJIN. He could see the cockpit like he was sitting in it and booted up the V Converter as well as the Tesla Drive.

"V Energy at optimum, Sync rate at 82%. Tesla Drive at full capacity, weapons are charged. Time to rock and roll!" The White Knight started to walk up to the launch catapult as its Tesla drive lifted it from the ground. The machine was then fired into the sky far enough for the Max Boosters to flare up and send him screaming towards the battleground. The M.P.B.L. was leveled and the game was beginning.

Avalon

The Attacks from the Ceres below Hit, exactly as intended, upon the MSV Shielding. Although the ship rocked somewhat the Attacks themselves didn't cause any damage.

Clare Rosewater

Clare was just now learning of the battle, Claus had elected to keep her in the dark, something she would confront him about later. For now she was making her way to the hanger when she noticed the shape of a person darting around a corner ahead; a person not in federation uniform. She knew immediately what was happening.

"ZAINE!!!"

Her Voice was filled with rage that echoed down the empty coridor; She drew her gun, Standard Federation Issue, and gave chase.

Claus Rissur

on the bridge the only one who was clam was the Commander he was ready for almost anything. As it stood they were going to try passing over the Ceres without returning fire. He knew if this was a rescue mission that the Ceres Pilot's couldn't risk attacking the ship recklessly as they might harm the one they were trying to save.

'Crap... ' He ran harder, knowing what would happen if that woman caught him.

He made it to the hangar ahead of Clare and looked for something that matched the color of the key and quickly spotted his way out.

'There.'

In a heartbeat, he had covered the distance to the machine and climbed into the cockpit... it took a moment to figure out that the object he had was the key to this KMF and he inserted the golden object where it was supposed to go...

-Avalon-
-Hanger-

It was lucky for Zaine the Conquista was close to the door he entered from allowing him to escape the notice of the three pilots waiting for launch orders. The Conquista began a boot-up procedure only to be interrupted as a screen asking for a password appeared...

'Password' He thought for a moment...

'If that woman pilots this Knightmare... then maybe the password is...'

It took a moment, but his thoughts went back to the conversation with Clare, and remembered that she mentioned that her brother was the only family that she had.

A monitor showed Clare coming through the door just as he entered what he hoped was the password...

-TEMJIN-

Kylern saw the Avalon no returning fire on the Ceres with the assumption of not wanting to hurt Zaine. Of course the TEMJIN wasn't stopped as it got into position towards the rear of the ship. Kylern quickly set the Radical Zapper to the anti-ship pre-set option and the large beam weapon split in half as energy built into it.

"Bet you weren't expecting someone like me..." He grinned mentally taking aim and unleashing a fully charged blast at the tail of the Avalon. If that shielding held he hoped he at least rocked the ship enough to make a scene before charging in, seemingly riding the beam weapon like a surf board. A layer of beam energy was surrounding the edge of the Blue Slider as he gave a death charge right towards the ship. In the machine's hands were two orange balls seething with explosive energy. He needed to get close to throw them...

- Strike -

Strike had, much to Xiu's dismay, ordered that she and Stellar hang back for this attack. The Shenlong and Gaia, while excellent suits, were not suited for mid-air combat, which is what a ship-to-ship battle mostly consisted of. Therefore, only he of the three would be taking to the skies for this fight. The Delta Gundam rocketed out of the Ceres' hanger in Waverider mode and sped headlong in the direction of the the Avalon.

As the Ceres fired, the Avalon made no move to dodge, and it was apparent as to why; the Ceres shots impacted harmlessly against a green barrier of energy that materialized around the Federation ship.

"Blaze Luminous..." Strike murmured. If they wanted to get to Zaine, they'd first have to punch through that shield. But how to do that, he wondered...

Then he spotted the TEMJIN sporting readying what appeared to be some sort of Hadoken attack. Strike shrugged. "Well, I guess that answers that."
