-Zero-

Not only did he have to dodge the Lancelot's Hadron Blast, The Ashura Temple also opened up on him. he was forced to evade all the shots fired his way.

"Come on, Zaine, is that your best?" He spoke to who he hoped was the Lancelot's pilot, before firing the crystal in his Chest, and followed with the White Laser, at the crystal, producing the spread white beam, with Zero grinning evilly as the blast went flying toward Zaine, and consequently forcing him to choose to either block or dodge.

-June-

She weaved through the fire of the Auto Cannon, and sent out an EMP once Gai was within reach, hoping to catch him in it.

Sume Gai

June made a mistake that would likely cost her. She had let Gai get too close As it was Gai had just enough time to fire his thrusters and climb above the Cone of radiation energy by millimeters. His lifter however wasn't nearly as lucky, caught in the crippling blast the automatic stabilizers gave out and the the Lifter began to tumble uncontrollably right at the nearby Guren.

((out of control Lifter right at Guren))
Tallis Stenner

Even though the Weisritter's built in AB field could likely ward off the low energy shots from a lance rifle and vulcans Tallis moved Left to evade letting them slip by. Tallis, next, raised the Oxtongue rifle and let fly two punishingly accurate solid shots at the GN-X III's Rifle and Head.

((two bullets; one at the rifle a second at the head))

-Valhalla-

The Valhalla rolled slightly to prevent the shots hitting their true targets. The Lance Rifle beams left two medium length char marks but failed to do any real damage, The Valhalla retailed faster and more accurately this time sending the crimson and black blast right at each GN-X's chest.

((Hadron blast at each GN-XIII faster than last time))

-Wedge Fifteen-

Fifteen stepped on the soil of Tokyo first time. The ship he had arrived on carried some supplies and his new mobile suit. The man had been reassigned to a new unit.

It was a surprise to him, he had been running a ton of successful bombing runs in Africa, so to get sent out here all of a sudden was a surprise. Thankfully he was joining some kind of Aerial unit, and being assigned a new experimental mobile suit. The suit was fine, fast and agile and packed one hell of a wallop.

He wasn't too worried about that tho. He was more interested in his new team members, and CO.

Wedge took the lift that carried his Mobile suit into the hangar. Wedge actually took the wheel and drove the massive mobile suit trailer right up to the hangar. He stopped outside of it waiting for a quartermaster or whoever was running this base for some guidance.

He could see a large number of machines. Mostly aerial units, but most impressive was the giant mobile suit taking up most the hangar.

"Someones compensating for something..." he said to himself.

-Wedge Fourteen-

It had been one week, but Wedge was still cleaning sea creatures out from his mobile suit. They were absolutely terrifying to the spacenoid. He had never seen an octopuss in his life. So when he encountered a dead one in his ahead's knee joint he screamed like a girl and pretty much went missing for a few days.

-Garmin Aelfhere-

Garmin with his usual accompaniment of escorts was currently touring the facilities in hawaii. It would not take the General long to find something..

- Cerberus Team -

The pilots and crew of the Cerberus had been grounded for the time being due to high fluctuations in the TE Engine which made the machine unsafe for flying. Sara, Hakase and the tech crew had been at it for three days without success and Jacob was on standby with the the Wildwuerger, just in case their was an attack on Aidoneous while the Cerberus was non-operational.

((There's a nice explanation as to why they're not there))

- Juuso and Co. -

Juuso and his fairly large team had not been invited on the current operation and were in the process of assisting the maintenance crew on the GN-X's and Juuso Destiny Gundam. Juuso himself was not assisting, it being below his station. He was however overseeing the maintenance work from an office attached to the hanger complex his team was assigned.

- Land Battleship -

“Enemy ships have returned fire!”

“Deploy countermeasures and evade!” the ships captain barked. Immediately the lead Land Battleship dropped several meters, narrowly avoiding the heavy blasts from the Ceres’ main guns. The heavy missiles launched by the Valhalla meanwhile were countered by multiple quick blasts from the battleship’s guns, striking them before they could get near their target.

“Enemy Gundam Sisquide is tracking!” the CIC operator reported.

“Leave him to me,” Berith replied coolly. The Gyan Kai leapt off the battleship’s deck into the air, leaving a trail of fiery GN particles in its wake. It raised its heavy shield and braced itself as one, two of the powerful shots from the I-Field launcher struck its protective measure dead center. The Gyan shuddered from the impacts but did not falter, merely glowering defiantly at the approaching monoeyed Gundam.

It was then, however, that something caught Berith’s eye. A white-and crimson Gundam with a long Japanese sword mounted at its side…

“Could it be…?” the Knight murmured. He adjusted the Gyan’s optical sensors. Indeed, it was the same Gundam he had faced in the Asian nearly a month before. Excellent; he had been hoping to run into that mighty fighter once more.

The Gyan Kai skirted around the Sisquide and bore down on the Red Frame. “We did not have a chance to conclude our previous bout,” he called to his opponent as he powered his mighty beam sword. “Let us do so here!”

Berith raised the beam-tipped sword high above the Gyan’s head but, instead of striking with the weapon, let loose with a vicious torrent of explosives from his shield, directing the deadly spray at the crimson Gundam.

Elya watched from afar as this went on. “Meh. I guess I’ll take that guy then,” she sad glancing at the Gundam Sisquide. The Fairlion spun around once then dashed at the white and blue-painted mobile suit, the four “braids” on the armored moduels’ head abruptly flipping upward and tracking Elya’s target.

“Take this, baka!”

At once the cannons flared to life, sending several rapid-fire spiral burst of energy the Sisquide’s way.

***
The depth charges, the Valhalla’s crew would find, did manage to detonate several of the undersea mines prematurely. They could not, however, hope to destroy all of them before they were triggered. Half a dozen were triggered sequentially as the Valhalla passed over them, flying up towards its underside. Four more were activated by the Ceres all of them speeding for the underside of the ship’s bow.

The Land Battleship, meanwhile, did not let up on its constant heavy-laser barrage, fully intending to keep the two ships pinned in the minefield's range.

-Masamune-

Masamune's countercharge would soon meet its intended target as Kirie looked up and widened his eyes in surprise --- it's been awhile since he's seen heads or tails of Berith or Elya, and on one hand, they were no less enthusiastic to keep fighting than last; On the other, if Berith and Elya were the command structure for this Fandom attack, then Masamune's charge was rightfully made, and taking the aforementioned two might demoralize the rest of the Fandom forces. It wasn't going to be easy either way, Kirie sighed.

Then again, Uesugi Kenshin never charged into the Takeda camp with an I-Field Cannon of all things...

Having fought the Gyan Kai once, Kirie was prepared for the shield missiles this time, and as they came at him, the Astray Red Frame's vulcans blazed madly in retort; The hail of bullets caught the majority of the shield missiles, detonating most of them in one single chain reaction of explosions, and caused the Astray Red Frame to roll leftwards sharply, avoiding four of the remaining shield missiles. Seeing two come at him as well, Kirie winced; The Red Frame reacted, and Gerbera Straight swiped out twice, above and then below, deflecting the missiles by the flat of the blade and causing them to spin in circles.

"You again?" Kirie nodded, and the Red Frame's Beam Rifle fired twice at the Gyan Kai before closing in quickly and making the first horizontal slash at the Gyan Kai's midsection with Gerbera Straight. "Then I shall gladly answer the challenge! In the name of the King of Hearts, Berith!"

-Masamune-

"Why such a scowl on your face, little girl?" Masamune bit his lip, eye glaring at Elya. "You say baka, and I say baka ne! I'll wipe that smug scowl off your lips myself!"

As the Sisquiede spun upwards as Berith moved past him, rolled, and came to a sideways rightwards strafe, Masamune's eye narrowed at the shots Elya sent his way as the Sisquiede dashed sideways, ducking underneath the first blast, then swerving around the second, and then Masamune sneered as the Sisquiede swung its I-Field Cannon around and swung it at the incoming remaining shots, deflecting them as they came by batting the cannon at them. In counter, the Sisquiede held the I-Field Cannon in both hands, paused...

And its monoeye flashed once as the I-Field Cannon charged up energy, gathering at the tip of the barrel in a brilliant pink spark, and then fired, sending a large, sweeping blast of beam energy back at the Fairlion and the Land Battleship behind her.

-Black Mage-

Quickly bringing the Circus Binders forward to meet the GN Machinegun burst, Black Mage chuckled as the GN Machinegun bursts impacted against the Heavy Metal's anti-Beam Field and dissipated --- just in time to see Byakura's own charge at him. Quickly drawing a Lancer and spinning it around, Black Mage spun the weapon once in a flurry, raised it, and then pushed it forward, parrying Byakura's initial blow and meeting the blade.

"It's been entirely too long since one of you Fandom died."

Then the Circus Binders pivoted downwards and, nearly point-blank, fired two yellow beam shots at Byakura's machine to force him back and away from the Ceres.

(how many land battleships are their total?)

-Ceres-

The fast battleship lifted higher into the sky as it attempted to get out of range of the mines beneath it. The target in front of it had dodged the first volley of shots but the Ceres continued to pretty the attack with another barrage from the triple naval guns and two twin beam cannons. Then it locked on and unleashed a flurry of Parsifal anti-ship missiles.

After its attack the enemy unleashed another broadside of beam cannon fire attempting to keep them pinned. But they never expected the next move. The ship launched several anti-beam depth charges out absorbing the enemies full on attack as the main bow gun opened up. It was targeting the lead Ground Battleship and would be ready to fire after the depth charge lost its effectiveness.

-Kylern-

The Thunderbolt had been rather ignored as it swooped around the battlefield in a wide arc and came in from 11 o'clock. It wasn't quite behind the enemy ships but it was enough to when he dived down for a bombing run they might miss him entirely. The sun was behind him and his unit was painted in a silverish color.

"Missiles 1-4 armed..." He came down locking onto the enemies cannons. His missiles were newer models designed for combat in GN environments. "Thunderbolt... 1-4 locked-on and FIRE!" With that the first missile in the sets of three were rocketed from their pylons and streaked down onto the enemy ship at super-sonic speeds. Their plasma warhead penetrators would disable the beam cannons and causing trouble if they were to hit...

((It was going to be two, but seeing as how Zero brought more than one ship along, let's just say one.))

- Land Battleship -

Lucky for the Fandom ship, it had just finished deploying its accompaniment of Mobile Suits when the Ceres launched its missiles. The GN-XIIIs opened up with their GN Lances, creating an impenetrable web of beam fire and swatting the missiles down before they could reach their target. A new threat was made apparent, however, as the hatch on the Ceres began to rise, revealing the ship's Tannhäuser Positron Cannon.

"Blast... prepare for evasion!" the ship's Captain roared. Immediately the ship's engines warmed with power, readying itself to pull itself out of the way of the powerful blast.

Suddenly, a high-pitched "Look out!" cry over the ship' COM. A second later, a beam snake-trail appeared in the side of the forward viewport. Elya had managed to easily dodge the wide-spread beam fired by Masamune by flipping over it, but the ship was not to be as fortunate--the tip of the beam swept over the front-right bow and carved a burning line across its armor, taking out one of the ship's primary GN cannons as it did so.

Elya shrugged. "Well, I did warn you." She eyed the blue and white Gundam floating next to her. "But now, for you!" she challenged gleefully.

Two sharp blades flashed out of the Fairlion's wrist and she darted towards the Gundam Sisquide's left side. As she approached, however, she aimed not for the Gundm itself, but its I-field launcher. She flew directly past the front of the Monoeye Gundam and under its massive primary weapon, spinning and slashing at the gun as she passed, aiming to relieve the Gundam of its greatest advantage.

- Berith -

Berith idly blocked the pair of shots with his shield and readied his primary weapon. Even as he brought the Gyan Kai's sword about to catch Kirie's vicious swing, he also eyed the charging Positron Cannon on the Ceres' bow. There was nothing he could do to prevent it from firing now, but he could not let it fire again. It was just a matter of figuring out how...

It was when he spotted the Gundam Shenlong and Gaia Gundam approaching from afar to the left that he found his answer.

The edge of his lip curled into a smile and he tuned his attention back to the Gundam Red Frame. "Then come, King of Hearts. Show me that indomitable spirit of yours--one of the few spirits I've ever found to have been equal to my own!"

He butted the Red Frame with his shield, pushing the two mobile suits away from each other. He then answered Kirie's previous attack with his on sweeping slash, spinning he Gyan a full three-hundred and sixty degrees to the right to increase the momentum of an already-powerful slash to the Red Frame's torso.

"Lowind, launchii-" The bored pilot failed to stifle his yawn. Although this battle in itself is mainly so he can get some energy back again. The Epyon shot out of the Valhalla and fired his beam pistol at the three GN-XIIs attacking the ship.

Alex Bloke/Valhalla

Alex seeing the multitude of mines headed for the Valhalla dove below the ship to provide cover fire. the area under the Valhalla was extremely dangerous for anyone the area was small, about the height of two MS, and between the mines flying upwards and the depth charges falling downwards one would need Psychic or mechanical reflexes to survive for an extended period; Alex was capable of the latter.

He fired his beam pistols and hip mounted railguns as fast as he could while doing his best to dodge the constant obstacles. He managed to do very well; taking out all but one mine which Struck Amidships just behind the Depth Charge launcher. Like the first this mine did little physical damage on impact but delayed the launching of depth charges for a few seconds.

-Julius-

Seeing the Weissritter dodge his attack, He evaded her two bullets, then turned, and fired a deadly shot at the rifle, aiming to disarm the Weissritter.

-Blaze NPCs-

The two GN-XIIIs of Blaze Squadron going after the Valhalla again evaded their attack while having to dodge again due to Lowind's attack, which forced one GN-XIII back into the path of the Hadron blast, and lost his arms to the Hadrons fired by the Valhalla, forcing him to return to the land Battleship, while the other, arguably angered by the attack, rushed the bridge, and started shooting it's lance, hoping to disable the ship altogether.

-Byakuya-

Black Mage would find this opponent interesting, because he dodged the fire by quickly whirling around, and aiming a fierce downwards slash at the Lancer.

-Zaine-

He seemingly shot into the attack, or it looked like that, but Zaine had activated the Core Luminous Cone in a quick motion, and was plowing through the attack, hoping to disarm Zero of his main weapon.

seeing the Fighter charge them, The Highwind, readied it's AA Guns to stop it's missile run, and at this point, the Gekka came out, and opened up with their hand guns, on the VF.

-Zero-

"What?!" He yelled in utter surprise, as Zaine plowed through the crystal, and rammed the Shinkirou, forcing him away from the ship.

"Try this!" Zero readied the Hadron Guns, and fired at near point-blank range.

-June-

"You're not getting away!" She dodged the lifter, and flew upwards after Gai, letting loose an EMP knowing he wouldn't be able to evade her forever.

(Eh... yeah Nero. I'm colored in a reflective paint, driving with the sun behind my back, and waited till the last minute to fire my missiles, and you shoot them all down? I'll roll with it...)

-Kylern-

The enemy somehow caught its surprise attack and destroyed the four super-sonic missiles. But they were going to have to try harder to stop him. The nimble fighter pulled in and out of the light arms fire allowing the stray shells to bounce off his pin-point barrier as he got as close as possible.

Though a Gekka seemed to have gotten close and fired at him. Kylern just grinned as he blew past the slower unit and attempted to get into close enough firing range that even the CIWS wouldn't be able to track his attack. "Missiles 5-8 firing!" Four more supersonic missiles closed on their target ready to release their deadly plasma warhead loads into the top of the ship.

The Valk didn't even give the Gekka a second thought as he carried on his mission to sink the enemy ship and give the Ceres some breathing room. If it did get into his way then he would eliminate it.

-Ceres-

Several mines had smashed against its belly as it rose into the sky. The crew had to move fast to repair the damage before it could threaten the hulls overall integrity. The previous missile assault had been in-effective but that didn't matter. They had the ground battleship in its sights and tried to level itself out as the enemy vessel attempted to take counter-action. So pointing itself at the enemy ship as well as possible Ryker gave the final order.

"All friendly units! Get out of the way!" He gave a few seconds knowing that the team had experience and knew what to do. "FIRE!" With that the anti-beam cover had lost its effectiveness and the bow gun fired threatening to destroy everything in its path.

Sume Gai

"Idiot! don't you realize you're way too close?!"

It was as Gai had said the Girl was too close for her own good; Gai Fired His thrusters forcing the Alt forward enough that only the left Leg was caught in the blast and went 'Numb' however June would find the right leg delivering a powerful heel kick from above.

They were so close now that fully dodging would be almost impossible.even in a KMF.

-Valhalla-

as the GN-X Charged the Bridge the Vessel righted itself moving the Bridge out of the way of the GN-X III's shots. and then the ftwrd Hadron Cannon fired on the GN-X III from behind

Tallis Stenner

Both shots missed completely but that didn't deter Tallis in the least She moved aside letting Julius shots pass harmlessly and opened up with her Oxtounge in E mode. The Powerful yellow beam moved quickly towards the torso of the GN unit as though using the condenser on the chest as a Bulls-eye.

-Martin Snow-

Wan had been right Martin was needed on board the Highwind especially when the KMF teams were clearly in need of some training.

"Use the Bazookas; not the Hand guns!"

As he said this he took off from the Deck and moved to intercept the Valkyrie. He stayed above the fire and sent his left arm Harken towards the Cockpit of the VF-11 hoping to smash it and the pilot inside.

-Zaine-

He had to break off to evade the hadron blasts fired, but retaliated by drawing both MVS, and charged back in, MVS positioned for a stab at each arm.

-Julius-

He dived under the blast as it came by, and fired off a seemingly well-placed shot at the Weissritter's rifle, while continuing to dodge in case it was a sustained blast.

-Blaze NPC-

Realizing the attack at the last second, the third member of Blaze Squadron wasn't able to dodge the attack in time, and as such, he paid dearly for it as the lower half of his GN-XIII was vaporized, leaving the upper half to fall onto the Valhalla's deck.

-Zero-

"Wha?" Was his surprising reaction to Zaine's attack, Zero raised his Hadron Cannons again and was about to fire. Just as the energy was reaching it's peak, the MVS tore into the cannons, triggering an explosion that would rob both machines of their arms. Zaine would likely find himself in a battered KMF, while Zero used the APT of his Shinkirou to shield himself from the blast.

-June-

"?!" Was her reaction when the right leg came at her.

The next second, she went flying backwards due to the force of the kick, despite being able to block it.

"You... I'll kill you before you threaten Lord Zero!" With that she quickly recovered and fired a focused radiation wave at the torso of the Alteisen.

-Gekka Team-

The Gekka pulled out their bazookas, and waited for the Valkyrie to make another pass. When it did, they'd unload their bazookas on it.

-Burai Team-

A group of Burai came out as well, also taking care to bring bazookas, which they used to down the missiles fired by the Valkyrie. One Burai even got off a shot at the VF itself.

-Kylern-

His missiles were once again brought down leaving him with four more left... He had just waited 8 valuable anti-ship missiles on this one damn vessel... How could he walk away from this fight without some sort of victory? He was already an embarassment after losing his TEMJIN.

So instead of firing his valuable warheads he charged through not even attempting to make a second go. Instead he would continue down the path and right into through the plasma stream his missiles had released when they exploded. Hot energy ate into his armor a little as the energy converting armor attempted to keep it from melting into the systems beneath. The bazooka shots behind him were detonated by the same plasma stream as they were fired at him and the one fired by the Burai up ahead didn't scare him.

"You'll never catch me with such old pieces of junk..." It was at that point something new arrived on the scene. Looking up he noticed another KMF and a wire launched projectile come down at him. Quickly he transformed into Gerwalk mode and the sudden change in speed caused the weapon to overshoot and barely miss cutting the cockpit and nose from the rest of the unit. Though a quick burst from his head mounted pulse laser gun tried to sever the wire before it could be retracted. But not that he was slowed down he turned his gunpod against the Burais ahead of him and swept across this line to chew them apart. The unit above him was politely asked to shoo by firing a barrage of 6 micro-missiles at it.

-Burai Team-

The group of Burai stood their ground and took the shots, though they couldn't hold against the onslaught and soon exploded, as would the Akatsuki in the hangar that were just now heading out.

A total 10 Knightmares got shredded by the Gunpod fire from the Valk.

-Gekka Team-

Enraged at the destruction of their comrades, the Gekka repositioned themselves, and emptied their bazookas to try and damage the VF in an attempt to avenge their teammates.

-Zaine-

He had lost one arm, and a leg... Noticing he pushed the Lancelot too hard, since it's filler was running low, Zaine high-tailed it back to the Valhalla to avoid dropping into the ocean.

-Terrace-

Deciding that he might want to just high-tail it back to the Ceres to avoid damaging his Heavyarms further, he did so, going in through the left catapult since the right was where a battle between Black Mage and Byakuya was.

-Black Mage-

"Yaaaaawn..." Was pretty much Black Mage's reaction to that line of thought, pretty much. Seeing Byakura lunge, Black Mage stepped the Ashura Temple back a step and let the Lancer's blade collide with Byakura's --- for about half a second, as the Ashura Temple suddenly riposted downwards with the force of the blow and swiped at the kneecaps on Byakura's machine. "C'mon. Impress me already. Prove yourself worth face-stabbing."

-Masamune-

"You'd best worry about your own life first, if you value it any!"

As soon as the Sisquiede had fired, it dove downwards, rolled up and left, and then raised its left hand --- now drawing its first pink-lit Beam Saber --- in a swipe at the Fairlion's first blade as, all of a sudden, the Fairlion blazed by the Sisquiede's side and attempted to encircle it. Masamune's eye narrowed slightly in response; With reflexes to match pound-for-pound, Masamune spun the Sisquiede in line, keeping Elya's Fairlion to the far left of his sights...and, when the Fairlion spun to slash at the I-Field Cannon, Masamune kicked the Sisquiede's right leg out. The kick caught the Fairlion's sword arm and, in addition to intercepting the blow, sent the Sisquiede floating back.

Just as quickly, the Sisquiede's right arm then moved --- drawing its second Beam Saber --- and Masamune dashed forward again, sneering in anger, as the Sisquiede speared the right Beam Saber down at the Fairlion's head.

-Kirie-

Now a soldier's spirit is keenest in the morning; by noonday it has begun to flag; and in the evening, his mind is bent only on returning to camp.

Using the momentum already gained from Berith shoving the Red Frame away, Kirie lunged backwards and left as he eyed Berith's spin and knew what was coming, the Astray Red Frame pulling Gerbera Straight back outstretched to its left side while it slid backwards to avoid Berith's blow --- the Gyan Kai's sword, instead of carving into the Astray Red Frame, narrowly missed, the tip of the sword just passing in front of the Red Frame's torso with the swing.

And that moment was what Kirie was waiting for.

A clever general, therefore, avoids an army when its spirit is keen...

As the Gyan Kai's sword swung past the Red Frame, that was when Kirie chose to strike --- when Berith's momentum was weakened from the tail arc of the swing. Tensing, Kirie lunged forward suddenly...and swung Gerbera Straight upwards to the right, slicing the blade at the Gyan Kai's sword-holding forearm once. Then, just as quickly, Kirie brought the Red Frame into a rightwards strafe, moving the Red Frame quickly to keep Berith's vision on the move.

...but attacks it when it is sluggish and inclined to return. That, Berith, is the art of studying moods.
