-Ishikawa-

"I see, Lady Sterling." Ishikawa answered simply, expression blank; It was unknown what Ishikawa himself felt of the Nova Prince except that at one time, Ishikawa tutored the Prince in the ways of being a military officer. Nonetheless, with the Eternal Engine in Sterling's hands --- Raven looked pleased, as Ishikawa knew she did --- there was no reason to remain in space, and whatever Morpheus's ulterior motives were would have to be dealt with soon. At least Masamune was out of Ishikawa's hair and out of his hands --- permanently. That was one less thing he had to worry about.

"If there are no other matters that you wish to discuss with me otherwise, Lady Sterling, then I shall take my leave by your permission." Ishikawa beckoned, waiting to be dismissed. "As you said, calculations could be thrown astray. I should return as quickly as possible to ensure that they don't."

- Raven Sterling -

"Very well. I have need to study this further anyway. You may take one of our shuttles seeing as the one you came in was lost." said Raven as she left the hanger with the engine and began thinking of how to best put it to use.

- Theo Rawn -

Preparations were going smoothly for Rawn's campaign to begin save for the arrival of the pilots needed for the mission, but that was not what was on his mind at the moment. What was concerned the officer that payed him a visit with orders from some general on Earth to apprehend Kyle Ryder and as such demanded to know where he was. It wasn't long before they also learned that Dreacon was with him as well and soon set out after them both.

Please forgive me, Kyle. The Federation is being too paranoid for its own good right now. Rawn was also quite thankful that the officer was not also after Stele. Apparently headquarters felt that Rawn was doing a good enough job of keeping him under his thumb for now. Rawn could not afford to give them any reason to go after his best student no matter what.

-Kyle-

This was something he wasn't use to... He had just been manhandled and thrown into an interogation room almost exactly like the showed in those police movies. His back landed into a wooden chair which promptely flipped backwards with him in it due to the force of the throw.

"Oww..." His head hit the ground with a thud as he rolled a little until he face was staring at the polished boots of the officer. Kyle was about to say something snappy but said boot came down on his face as the officer literally stepped on him and ground the test pilots face into the ground.

"So Mister Ryder... Brother of dead Fandom Captain Kayla Ryder and an ex-Federation space fighter pilot. You have given a lot of trouble here lately..." He lifted his foot and proceeded to kick Kyle in the stomach knocking the guy onto his back. Kyle was face to face with the officer as he bent down and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up into the air. This guy was a monster but this was nothing compared to his encounter with Wraith. This guy was a pansy compared to a Dark Star Knight with a vibrosword. "Now lets get down to business. If you want to not be executed for treason then tell me why you engaged the Dominance?"

The question was rather shocking... How did this guy know about that encounter? Wait... looking at the guys collar it hit Kyle who this guy was. "SNRI..." Kyle growled because these were the guys that had declared war on the Gundams and helped Fandom. "You have no right to talk about treason to me... Your a lying sack of crap that dared turn your fangs on those who protected you." Kyle stared the guy down with defiance in his cold blue eyes.

"So you think your pretty clever huh? Once I'm done here your little support of the Gundams will be erased. This company has already promised to supply us with everything we want and all we had to do was threaten them with complete destruction." The man acted as if Kyle cared about burecratic nonsense.

"Take your weapons and fight your little war but I swear you'll pay for the crimes you have committed." His eyes stared down even harder. The man just laughed and reared back a punch that sent Kyle sprawling against the ground.

"I'm not afraid of you, the Gundam team, Fandom, DC, or any other group out there. The Federation controls all and owns all and with this companies full backing our power has grown even more. Now we just need to figure out what to do with you?" He tapped his foot on the ground as Kyle got up to his knees and stared up at the larger man. What was he going to do now?

"How about you just execute me now?" Kyle dared him as the man laughed.

"Why so that we could maryter you? I want to know what it was Raven had because I even think about disposing of you."

"You want to know that badly huh? Well it doesn't matter does it because in the end you can't stop her." Kyle laughed himself except his was more the laugh of a mad man. "Fandom got its hands on an Enteral Engine like the one on the Cybuster. Nothing you can take from here has the same sort of raw power that prana converters do."

The eyebrow of the man raised not sure what to say. This was the furthest thing from his mind that the Fandom would have gotten ahold of. But it was true then they needed to do something about it.

DSK Raven/Wraith

His job done Raven was returning to Lady Sterling. surely she would not be 'happy' with the end result but he had completed his mission as instructed.

Raven was contemplating events; factions were splitting and reforming very quickly lately. the Fandom needed to whittle down it's number of enemies and soon if it hoped to win...

-Redemption's Bridge-

The Captain looked down from the bridge was the crater below them. His ship as well as the three Northhampton class ships were docked at an orbital facility designed to do quick repairs instead of forcing ships into the main ship hangars. His fingers were tapping against each other as he contemplated what was going on... Both Kyle and Dreacon had been taken captive by the Federation's SNRI and there was nothing they could do.

"Sir Lunar Corp has given a public statement on a partnership with SNRI... Its throwing its entire weight behind the Federation."

The Captain listened and gave a sigh. "It seems like all is lost. But I swear I will never surrender my ship to those monsters nor will I help in their crusade of destruction."

"Sir thats treason against the Federation and goes against our company."

The man sitting at the head chair turned to the officer who dared talk about treason to him. His eyes glared but he calmed down before he chewed the head off his subordinate. "Yes I know and I understand the consequences of my words. But if any of you wish to jump ship rather than follow me I would not look down on it. But know that by traveling down the same road as me we will no longer have the support of Lunar Corp or the Federation. We will be wanted from now on."

The whole crew looked at him with a smile and gave a salute. That was the signal he needed to move ahead. He sent a secret message to the heads of the other three ships and received a unanimous answer of approval.

"Alright crew lets cut the chains that bind us and save those two!" The crew gave a 'Yes Sir!' as all the ships opened up their guns.

-Kyle-

The SNRI looked like he was ready to crap himself after hearing that Fandom had retrieved an Eternal Engine and wasn't sure what to say next. But Kyle sure wasn't ready now that he was on a role.

"I hope you rot in hell for all the crimes you committed. Now unless you plan to kill me get out of my face!" Kyle ordered this as he stood up and started to emit psychic waves from himself.

Then a series of explosions tore through the hangar as the main gate was blown apart by beam fire. The shuttle he was on also shook under the pressure but Kyle didn't fall even as the officer did. Instead he stood tall and charged at the prone SNRI officer. Leaping on top of the down guy Kyle caught his foe with his knee in the guys throat. A few painful gasps escaped before the windpipe was crushed leaving the guy to suffocate on the floor. But Kyle had yet to escape yet as the pressure from the blown hangar door sucked the air out of the hangar forcing the shuttle to move a bit towards the entrance before turning over and skidding across the ground.

"Alright... now to escape..." He reached out with his mind until he was able to link up with a Ghost not to far away. The gray machine came to life and with a surgical strike used its beam cannons to blast a hole in the side of the shuttle allowing Kyle to escape.

His Ex-Gear came to life as he leaped from the massive hole in the shuttle and using the moons lighter gravity to do a somersault so that he could slip his hands under his legs so that his hand-cuffed hands were now in front of him. Too bad the landing was perfect as he fall forward onto the ground ungracefully. "Ouch..." Picking himself up the VF-25S was right where he had left it and he started towards it even as the battle outside started to intensify. The few federation escorts were engaging the Northhampton stealth frigates in ship to ship combat as the rebel fleet held its grounds until Kyle and Dreacon could escape.

- Theo Rawn, Grey Wolf bridge -

Being in Lunar orbit themselves, it wasn't long before Rawn learned of the break out at Lunar Corp by the Federation forces in the area calling for reinforcements immediately to the area to stop the rebels.

Naturally, Rawn had no intention of stopping Kyle from doing what he had to, but an order was an order.

"Maarek, take a team of mobile suits with you and give our friend a 'good show' of what we can do."

Stele caught the inflection in Rawn's voice at 'good show' and nodded. "Yes sir. We'll show them what an ace pilot of the Federation can do against their toy planes."

A few minutes later, Stele and several Jegans were on the way to intercept the escaping Lunar Corp fleet.

-Kyle-

His Messiah started up as his Ex-Gear connected him to the systems. He still had his FA pack attached including the one Ghost he had managed to enslave waiting for instructions. "Gotta find Dreacon..."

"Kyle we are prepared to leave whenever you get your tail up here." The Captain of the Redemption sounded over the radio as Kyle navigated his Ghost in search of Dreacon's Gundam. The camera on the unit provided his VF with the same thing the Ghost was looking at. Finally he noticed the otherworld Gundam with the pilot finally being taken away.

(Dreacon said to NPC him for now)

The Ghost lined up its cannons and fired causing one of the Federation soldiers to be incinerated. The others took defensive and began to fire their ARs at the gray remote fighter. Kyle just laughed as he noticed Dreacon escape into his Gundam and take off before the Ghost opened fire again killing the soldiers where they stood.

Now it was time to escape and just as he began to leave an alarm came through. Rawn has sent a pathetically small taskforce to stop them and it didn't take a genius to know that the Captain of the Gray Wolf wasn't being serious. The four ships were already disengaging their position and aimed their guns at the incoming Federation units.

"Don't kill them! If they give too much bother then disable them but I don't want Rawn's men hurt in this." He gave the order and all four ships switched to their anti-air beam turrets and fired at the incoming mobile suits to try and chase them off. Dreacon got aboard the Redemption and Kyle noticed the NT unit in the battlefield. It was time to see just what that ace was made of... So in order to catch the guys attention the Messiah transformed into Battleroid mode and fired its beam gunpod at the guy. The Ghost also came out of the hangar and came beside its master with its own weapons armed.

"So Maarek if I'm not mistaken we have never dueled before. How about you give me your best shot before I escape this rat hole." Both of them were Newtypes of almost similar skill but two radically different machines. Another problem that hindered Kyle was that he didn't have any missiles left in his armor... The Ghost had a full selection of weapons but the Messiah didn't. Hopefully this didn't turn serious or he could be in trouble.

- Maarek Stele -

The beam shot was easily dodged as Marrek closed in on the VF-25.
"Heh, I dare say my best shot might kill you. However I do not think you will be disappointed with what I have to show here."

Maarek noticed that Kyle also had a Ghost type unmanned fighter with him and figured that he would use it to double team him. As such Maarek deployed a pair of fin funnels to keep it busy with the rest on a hair trigger if he should need them while firing four shots from his own beam rifle at Kyle in response.

The rest of the Jegans that came with Stele busied themselves with taking pot shots at the Redemption and her escorts making it appear that the defensive fire was keeping them from getting in close.

-Kyle-

"I think you underestimate me..." Kyle gave a grin as he watched the MP Nu deploy its funnels. Kyle kicked his Ghost into gear and it charged in like an essenctric bull firing off its beam cannons to intercept the funnels before they could close range with it.

Kyle on the other hand didn't even dodge the blasts and instead deployed his own high powered PPB. Beam struck him hard but it was returned with a barrage of his beam machin-guns mounted on his hips and its laser cannons mounted on his head. This stream of fire was then pulled along as Kyle charged a beam grenade inside the gunpod. The Messiah was fast and agile as it danced with the MP Gundam before firing off an explosive charge at the unit.

-Fleet-

The four ships had cleared the locks and using their PPBs deflected any shot that actually managed to threaten them. If they wanted to a deployment of fighters, defense Cheyennes and missiles could easily crush the Jegans but they chose not to and instead started up their fold drives.

- Maarek Stele -

Maarek's funnels slipped to the sides of the beam fire and returned fire themselves from both sides of the Ghost.

Maarek danced to the left of Kyle's gunfire and with a flash going off in his head told him to dive under the beam grenade as it sailed into empty space.

"You'll have to do better than that to impress me."
Maarek then charged the -25 at full throttle and kept up the pressure with his rifle firing shots at and around Kyle as he drew his beam saber and slashed at the right arm once in range.

Kyle felt his Ghost get surrounded and let it do its job... As the two funnels went to either side the missile bays opened. As soon as they tried to fire the Ghost opened up with a barrage of locked on missiles from both sides that engulfed the funnels as they fired resulting in its destruction but a series of detonations as its full two sided salvo detonated hopefully engulfing the funnels at the same time.

The MP Nu kept its attack up and so did Kyle. Instead of blocking the beam rifle fire though he danced around it using his smaller profile and enhanced boosters to keep just out of the line of fire. But when the Nu drew its beam saber and slashed it probably didn't expect a VF to have melee ability of its own. The beam gunpod was moved to a latch on the leg as he was forced to use the PPB to block the beam saber trying to strike him. Then with retaliation he blazed his quad head laser cannons at the Nu from point blank as well as brought his other arm around in a PPB enhanced punch.

As the battle continued a small transport approached the Grey Wolf and made contact.

"Sir this is the Belluka. We've brought some fresh pilots. Would you like us to launch them to support your forces or transfer them to your ship?"

Responding to the call, Rawn replied "Transfer them over to the ship. There's not much they could do right now even if they did launch."

Rawn wasn't just saying that either as the Lunar Corp fleet was nearing the point where they would be folding in to escape.

Two large "aircraft" soon left the Belluka and headed to the Grey Wolf's deck. As they entered they slowed and changed into Mechs before touching down. An observant person would likely note that the two moved in almost perfect unison but the real surprise came when the machines' hatches opened and the pilots exited, without suits. They 'fell' to the deck and in cold unison left the hanger to report to their new commanding officer.

- Maarek Stele -

Maarek noted that although the beam saber made contact, it was stopped from cutting through the arm like he had planned.
So that's the Pinpoint Barrier system eh?
Rawn had briefed him before on what he knew about Kyle's fighter, but seeing a weapon system in action was different than just reading about it.

The next thing Maarek knew was that he was being hit by small caliber laser fire in the upper torso. He also sensed the punch coming as well and knew that staying this close would be a bad idea.

As such Maarek reversed thrust away from the punch and returned the favor to Kyle by opening fire at the head of the VF-25 with his own 60mm head vulcans.

Lights out speedy. Now be a good boy and run before I have to get serious.

It was only then did Maarek note that the Ghost had defeated the fin funnels. This would end up later being no surprise to him as he was focused on Kyle and not the remote fighter.

His punch failed but that just meant his shield arm, which had been the one punching, was now in position to absorb the vulcan fire. The anti-bullet shield was pounded and the Messiah was forced back a bit as he opened fire with his beam machine-guns mounted on his hips.

"Alright game over, but I had fun." With that he pulled quickly out of the line of fire and transformed into fighter mode. The Captain of the Redemption was telling him that he had better get his tail in gear because they were ready to leave. Plus the Federation had just picked up something reinforcements and their time was pretty short. But before Kyle retreated at top speed he had one more thing to say.

"I guess since I'm not LC or Federation anymore I think a more appropriate name is needed. Tell Rawn we're the Wolf Dragoons at least until we find DC and meet back up with the Gundam team. A tout a leure!" With that he hit overboost and took off into the fold space along with the ships. He did though give one look back at the Gray Wolf and gave a salute to Rawn before disappearing.

Kyle's guns hit at about the same place on the Nu as where they were mounted on the VF, thus knocking out the maneuvering thrusters located there.

Maarek then saw him change form after blocking most of the gunfire with his shield.

"I guess since I'm not LC or Federation anymore I think a more appropriate name is needed. Tell Rawn we're the Wolf Dragoons at least until we find DC and meet back up with the Gundam team. A tout a leure!"

Wolf Dragoons? And they're going to find the DC? That's certainly a development.

Like Kyle, Maarek turned around and headed back to the Grey Wolf with the Jegans close behind, eager to report this latest development to Rawn as soon as possible.

Raven's personal Nazca came along side the Dominance and a small shuttle containing the Dark Star Knight soon left the Nazca and entered the Dominance.

Sterling had called to her knight; it seemed she had a mission for him something that was annoying her had been marked for erasure.

Wraith had arrived promptly to her summons as usual, and it was good as the mission was time critical.

"The next mission I have for you will need to be undertaken quickly before the target has a chance to regroup."
The wall monitor came on, showing the current location of the former Lunar Corp fleet that Kyle was with.

"It seems that the main force of the Lunar Corp fleet has rebelled against their Federation masters and is trying to escape to a safe harbor. This force has been a thorn in our side as you well know and this is the perfect time to eliminate them for good. By the time you return to your ship, a cargo transport will be in range for you to unload its cargo which will be most helpful in defeating the tactics and capabilities of those fighters."

Raven then handed him a data pad detailing what he would find in the hold and how best to use it.

"The pilots are a bit on the arrogant side, but for good reason given their abilities and are quite valuable. Try and at least bring them back in one piece if you can."

Raven as usual stood and performed a gesture of fielty before turning to leave. Raven looked at the manifest he had been given; the contents of the transport were, to say the least, well suited for the job at hand.

in addition he was restocking his standard mobile Suits and replacing them with the newer ZAKU models.

The Twins

a few minutes after they landed the too 'women' entered the bridge with a matched cadence that would make any general proud. they approached the Captain. and offered their papers

Maria: "CX-00024"
Mellia: "and CX-00025"
