Mike

She actually did it. She shot a man in the back. It was disghusting. Mike barely had a reaction as 5 of the 12 shots embedded themselves in his back, legs, and shoulders. Not having the armored upper section of his flight suit on, the shots sliced straight through his body like hot knives through a large block of lard. Blood sprayed everywhere as Mike crumpled into a heap on his right shoulder, before rolling back onto his back. Blood pooled, frothy from the escaping air from his punctured lungs as he writhed slightly in pain, a look of shock on his face as the color slowly drained.

*Wheeze*

He attempted to speak as raspy breaths echoed through the hangar.

"K-kayla.. I-I didn't know.. I DIDN'T...k-know.. Sorry.. I.. Th.."

And then the pilot of the Bawoo K passed out from blood loss, his breaths becoming shallower by the moment..[/b]

Zangetsu looked down in disgust. "Medics get them out of here." he said as he walked over and bent down near Mike. "You got what you diserved traitor." as he stood the medical team had arived and picked Mike up on a strecher and took him away.

-Kayla-

She had done it... But her body flinched as three bullets embedded themselves in her from behind. Blood started to trail from her mouth but she refused to go down. Instead she dropped the gun and pressed a few buttons on her watch. The eyes of the Astrea lit up just behind the action afterwards but Kayla just stood there smiling.

"Federation bastards will pay. None of you will walk away from here..." Then a wrench came out of nowhere and creamed her in she skull sending her body flailing to the ground. Little did they know but she had activated the silent self destruct on the Astrea and it would detonate within the next 20 seconds. She planned to kill them all here with her since she could never go back to Fandom after all that had happened. But before her eyes started to close and the darkness overwhelmed her she made one last plea to whoever would listen.

"Be alright brother..." Then she feel unconscience as her Gundam was about to go up in a ball of fury.

-Kylern-

The enemy mech tried to slice through the beam wave but the smaller beam sabers would definatly start sparking after that. The enemy would overload those poor weapons if it tried blocking high powered attacks for much longer. But the battle did go on and the enemy charged into his own larger beam sword. Energy sparked around them as they locked up and the enemy kept pushing harder.

"Don't make me laugh... Boosters maximum power!" The V converter on the back of the unit started to spin at a much higher rate as energy drew into the two large confidence boosters on the back of the unit. Then in one push a large discharge of blue energy erupted from the back of the boosters and pushed the Temjin against the enemy mech with much more power. Kylern gritted his teeth together as his machine pushed with the same or even more pressure against the enemy and neither of the would budge. Instead the Temjin fired its energy rockets out and they converged from the side on the enemy Gundam to detonate while they were locked.

-Emily-

Emily did not have much time at all to blink at Kayla's Natural 1 on the Reflex Save roll when a burst of pessimistic pressure suddenly hit her head, enveloping Emily's being, overwhelming her...Emily gasped as she leaned back into the Unicorn's cockpit seat and found her breathing heavy as something caught onto her throat and her nerves burnt around her. The pressure was immense; Was it the feeling of her own death? Or everyone else's? She couldn't bear it. It was too much.

"N...no...what is...I can't...make that Fort Save...I'm gonna...go to -1 Hit Points now...'nighty night..."

Then Emily's consciousness dropped her like a hammer and, just as Emily slipped into the subconscious, all hell broke loose. The Unicorn Gundam suddenly closed the cockpit and moved.

By itself.

Seams opened everywhere on the Unicorn Gundam's body all of a sudden, hatches sliding open, the body plating shifting. Underneath those seams, an eerily bright pink glow lit up, enveloping the entire body in a bright psionic light; At that moment, those who would feel Newtype pressure felt a great wave of it coming from the Unicorn's body, from those seams and openings. And at the same time, the head itself changed as well, the Unicorn's antenna splitting in half, moving to either side into a V-fin, as the face plating opened and retracted as well...revealing the Unicorn Gundam's real face, that of a trademark Gundam's eyes and face plate.

Then, with agility that not even Emily could pull out of it, the Unicorn Gundam --- under the full operation of the NT-D System --- leapt into action, sprinting towards the parked Gundam Astraea and grabbing it by the shoulders with one hand; With equally swift moment and a burst of power, the Unicorn Gundam then moved, dragging the Gundam Astraea with it out the hanger and towards the flight deck. It was soon clear of the hanger in seconds, and with a great heave, the Unicorn Gundam tossed the Astraea forward, sending the unmanned, vacant self-destructing Mobile Suit plummeting towards the ground beneath the Osprey...

"NO Damn it!" Wingnut shouted at the top of his lungs, though no one heard him as he had not left his machine yet.

All of the work to put an end to the misunderstandings seemed to vanish in an instant. Worse, the Gundam she had flew in flashed it's eyes.

I don't know what that means but I doubt it would be good for us.

Figuring that whatever it was going to do, it would do it soon, Wingnut ran over to the Astrea and grabbed hold of it only to find the Unicorn doing the same, but the suit had changed to what Wingnut vaguely remembered from reading MAHQ profiles as "Destroy Mode". Not stopping to think about it further, Wingnut, along with Emily pushed and pulled the Astrea to the aft hatch and flung the suit out of the Osprey.

It was not a moment too soon as mere seconds after throwing it out, the Astrea exploded.

But what about them? Wingnut wondered as he turned his attention back to the scene of disaster that was the middle of the Osprey's hanger.

Sume Gai

Gai watched in horror as the Fandom pilot did something with her watch. Immediately he recalled her earlier threat.

"I swear I'll have the Astrea overload the GN launcher"

"SHIT!!! shes trying to take us with her!!!"

Gai turned to the Astrea knowing full well he'd never make it but to his astonishment the Unicorn and Re-GZ did.

Emily and Wingnut had made it just in time.

Gai dropped to his knees in relief. He couldn't believe how close a call that was. After a few seconds he regained his composure; he moved over and checked both of the fallen pilots' vitals. Kayla might survive but Mike was not as certain.

Gai helped the medics move them both on to stretchers before turning his attention to the Unicorn. with the excitement he hadn't noticed till now but Gai found his head pounding as he looked at it.

"Tell me. How much of our force are still intact?" Lowind asked from the open hangar door as he watched the brightly glowing Astrea fall out of the craft and exploding in a brilliant explosion, like what a GN-class mobile suit should. It didn't take much to guess what happened.

"The stream of missiles had wiped out approximately 30% of our entire fighting strength, and the ensuing confusion had caused another 10% to be annihilated moments later." Kayla's second in command said. "In total we are less than 30% of our optimum fighting strength. I would strongly recommend against a sortie at this time."

"Did I ask for your opinion?" Lowind said, smiling at the officer's suddenly frightened face. "Relax. That was good advice."

"Today, I have paid witness to a series of disappointments. First, Black Star knight Black Mage is a traitor, and another Black Star Leon has cowardly deserted from the battlefield entirely after making a wrong tactical decision. The defector Michael shot at Leon after said wrong tactical move, I assume he was a spy. Captain Kayla is either dead or captured by the Federation forces." Leaving me alone up here, Lowind mused. "Send a report to the homeland requesting further orders regarding the three traitors. And I would like to see the news do not reach the other war fronts. The knowledge of the loss of two Black Stars would not be beneficial to morale."

"And right now, I think they are off guard, thanks to what I assume to be due to Captain Kayla. Anyone here that doesn't care whether they live or die? And please, don't bother if you don't think you are good enough."

Wingnut disembarked from his MS now that the threat of one exploding on them was gone and got a close look at what had happened. Kayla had shot first, supposedly for attacking one of his own people. Then Gai had shot her in response. There were a few holes and marks where missed shots had ended up in various locations around the hanger, but surprisingly no one else was hit.

Still the effect of the attack was gruesomely clear. Although both bodies had been rushed to the infirmary, a pool of blood still remained where Mike had fallen and there was enough blood that came out of Kayla to show where she had fallen as well.

"Can we get someone with a mop or something to clean that up already?" Wingnut said with a measure of annoyance and disgust at the needless display of violence.

Despite the attack, something still lingered in Wingnut's mind.
That's right. The order. Obviously Mike was in no condition to be questioned about it right now, but maybe the computer on his suit would have what we need to know.

Pointing to the one of the guards that had come down to escort Kayla and Mike, Wingnut shouted "You there. Get a computer technician down here right away. I believe there is something important in the computer of that Bawoo that we need to see."

The guard saluted and went off to find someone while Wingnut approached Mike's mecha and gazed up at it.

Can you tell us what was so important that it may have cost your pilot his life?

The whole sceen unfolded before Zangetsu in an instant. he knew he had to protect everyone but, when the time came he couldn't do anything. Thank God, Wingnut and Emily were quick enough. That Emily for all her crazyness was a good pilot. He walked up to Wingnut as he stood next to the Bawoo. "So what will we do with them? Going back to Fandom doesn't seam to be an option for them."

-Emily and Kirie-

Emily, however, wasn't answering, and even as the Astraea exploded, all the Unicorn Gundam did was stood there --- even as the Musha Gundam walked up behind it. Kirie waved a hand sideways to catch Emily's attention; No response. The Unicorn remained unmoving.

"Uhhhh, hey, Emily? You alright in there?"

No answer.

"Emily? He~llo..."

Still no answer. Sneering, Kirie raised the blunt hilt of the Jumonji Yari and poked the Unicorn Gundam on the chest with it, circling up to its front side. "Hey, Ems! Wake up in there---" Kirie never finished that; That was when the face plating and seams closed up, and the Unicorn Gundam tipped over onto the flight deck with a *THUD*. All the Newtype pressure that it had emitted so strongly all of a sudden disappeared just as quickly altogether at that point.

Emily was still very much unconscious.

Kirie sweatdropped, and moved the Musha Gundam to start dragging the Unicorn Gundam back into the hanger. It had fully exited its Destroy Mode at that point. "Uhhhh...everyone? Can I get some help over here?"

Wingnut was still looking at the Bawoo when Zangetsu approached him. "So what will we do with them? Going back to Fandom doesn't seam to be an option for them."

That's true, at least for Mike anyway.
"Well, assuming they live through having been shot repeatedly, I guess that girl would be a POW, though I don't like the idea of keeping her on the ship at a time like this.
As for Mike, I suppose that depends on what I can find out from his on-board computer. He kept going on about an order he claimed to have gotten from Federation HQ about killing all possible newtypes to keep them out of Fandom hands. With any luck, the data in his computer will either confirm or disprove that claim. I guess his fate would depend on what we find in the computer then."

Wingnut was prevented from saying anything further by the loud bang of the Unicorn falling over onto the deck, which made him jump at the sudden noise that reverberated throughout the hanger.
As if there wasn't enough things going on here to make us jump already.
"Uhhhh...everyone? Can I get some help over here?"

((Gai, this would be a job for Tallis I do believe. Also TBZ, feel free to have the ground crew finish cutting out the CGUE pilot from her cockpit at any time.))

-Hellbore-

Hellbore had been idling outside the Osprey, keeping an eye on the retreating Fandom when suddenly both the Re-GZ and a very different Unicorn tossed the recently landed Astrea over the side, which then proceed to exploded. "It seems I missed something important.." he said to himself.

He looked over at the glowing Unicorn in time to see it shut down and fall over onto its face. He caught Kirie's cry for help and landed the Freedom next to the now dormant Unicorn. He Called over the open COM, "I got it." and pulled the prone mobile suit onto its feet.

He climbed out of the Freedom in time to see two bodies being carted away by teams of medics. Winching out of the cockpit he walked over to Zangetsu and asked, "Umm... What'd I miss?"

-Jacob-

The Unicorn pulled back into the sky and into its own transport ship. XPs? Now, Jacob was faced with a slight problem. The Cerberus could not fly and his own transport was several hundred meters in the air. Faced with this conundrum Jacob looked over his shoulder at Sara, who was trying her hardest not to burst out laughing. Scowling, Jacob keyed his radio and called for a pickup.

Bio had safley landed at the drop zone next to Otto. A few old buildings were in the area, but nothing threatening. Must of been an old town, long deserted. Bio and Otto had been waiting for hours, killing time by wrapping and treating Bio's wound, and playing cockpit games. Eventually a small ship dropped from the atmosphere and landed nearby. Its doors opened and several technitions came streaming out, along with a huge container behind them. An extra Guul was present for Bio. They opened up the container to reveal a large shield, a skull embedded on the face. Despite its size, it was light but sturdy. Bio looked at the shield and the silver Guul. These were his gifts from up above huh? He smiled and waved the forces. The ship soon picked up and left, and Bio and Otto were left alone in their small town.

"So, should we go back to Europe?"

"No, no I think this town is fine Otto. No one expects a forgotten village, c'mon, let's go look at that big building over there. Bring the supplies."

((OOC, shield is in profile, nothing too fancy))

Noticing the energy rockets Abel used the two shoulder mounted cannons to destroy them. Then Sephiroth diverted all power to the thrusters. The increased output of the Terror Judgment easily over powered the boosters of the other suit. Both suits quickly begin to plummet toward the ground. Sephiroth said, "Now you die."

"Well hellborne our two visitors are both suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, the Gundam Astrea just blew up, Emily can actvate the Destroy Mode, ohh and lets not forget the order that may exist for killing federation newtypes. Which is great considering our team has two in our midst." he said to the recently arived Hellborne.

"If this order is true then at least me and Emily are in danger from our own side. How could the higher ups not trust us?" he said as he slammed his fist into the ground. We've fought hard for their war and they don't have the decency to trust us."

Gai had been watching as the Unicorn collapsed. He might have chuckled but the previous incident had removed any good humor he had had when he climbed out of the Lancelot.

Right now he had to talk to someone. He turned and moved to the Bawoo K.

"WINGNUT! I WANT TO SPEAK WITH YOU!"

Tallis Stenner

as the Unicorn was dragged back into place She cried out in relief. She made her way to it as it was set back into place and opened the hatch from a panel on the leg.

"Kirie can you get her out?" Tallis then turned to the Unicorn and spoke to it "Thank you"

Sorry Gai my last post should include

Noticing that the suit behind him, as Sephiroth was charging toward the wight suit, he fired both shoulder cannons at the suit behind him. He then clashes with the wight one.

-DC HQ-

The enemy unit seemed to have used his cannons to not only shoot down his rockets but also fire behind him at the other DC pilot. An interesting way to do things of course but that extra attention he spent dealing with the other things gave the White Knight the chance it needed. The massive boosters on its back turned and he boosted to the right as the enemy unit came back at him avoiding the oncoming clash. It would also push his opponent in a prone position with Jared having full access to the side of the unit.

So the sword quickly transformed into slider mode and he rocketed across the upper edge of the enemy unit before it could turn to attack him again. The board was surrounded in blue beam energy and he tried to cut not only the boosters from the back of the enemy unit with the collision but also its large beam cannons on its back. Jared also gathered more energy and threw an explosion Powerbomb at the back of the enemy unit from close range. This one couldn't be shot down because it had been thrown from so close to the enemy.
