"This place... is for the gathering of the strong."

As Byakuya set his mobile suit down, the figure chose to make himself seen. Out from the shadows high above the asteroid emerged a robot with bat wings and bearing a long-range rifle--a gray and red painted Rein Weissritter. It descended slowly upon the asteroid and landed adjacent of the Advanced GN-X.

"Consider it an honor...to be invited to this sacred ground."

"Huh... You don't exactly meet my expectations, Nova Prince." Byakuya said wondering why the man didn't answer his question. "And by calling it an honor, I take it the Prince has decided to ask me to join his little group." Byakuya said, politely bowing to who he thought was the famous Nova Prince.

"Ah... forgive me..." the pilot of the Rein Weissritter replied. "You see, I am not his majesty."

The winged robot lowered itself and returned the bow. "I... am Cain. Servant of the Nova Prince, and member of the Fandom's Dark Star Knights.

"And you, Byakuya Kamiya, just as you have surmised, will also become a Dark Star Knight."

"..." After standing up, he didn't seem all that surprised... nevertheless, he couldn't turn down the offer. "All right. Tell His Majesty that the Steel Dragon accepts his offer. However... I would like permission to carry out an independent operation." Was his reply.

It was a routine supply run to a colony in Side 3 for Federation convoy 1436, when it began to pass a small asteroid field that was not on the charts. There was a good reason for that too as the convoy soon found out as the "asteroids" disintegrated in front of them to reveal Musai and Endra class warships which began launching older mobile suits and metal armors.

The Container Transports in the convoy were the first to respond with their defensive guns, although they would have little effect as they were shooting to buy time for the two Salamis escorts to launch their mobile suits to repel Gon Jem's pirates. However, the Jegans would be outnumbered by at least 3 to 1 and would not be able to protect the convoy alone.

The captain of the lead Salamis sent out a general call for help from any Federation ship in the area, hoping that there would still be a convoy to rescue by the time it got there.

-Melodius-

Necronomicon, Square 4-E

Hiding a ship as big as the Necronomicon in a shoal zone was not easy --- especially in the Garden of Thorns.

At one point in the past, the sole occupant in the Garden of Thorns was Haunsenwolden, a neutral colony and once a haven for smugglers and pirates looking for goods, supplies, crew, or plain entertainment --- that was over ten years ago, during the so-called 'Golden Days of Piracy' for this sector. Then the Flame Wars washed over this sector like brushfire, and Haunsenwolden was one of its first casualties; A fierce warlord named Galen Felsworn, eager to show off his military might in a preemptive move, sent a large fleet of warships and Starfighters into the area --- said to number in the hundreds --- in a direct assault against Haunsenwolden. He was naturally met by the entire brunt of the inhabitants of the pirate colony who, despite all odds and for twenty days, held out against the gigantic fleet and inflicted thousands of casualties on the Felsworn Fleet.

The battle was brought to a close in a single fell swoop when Felsworn, frustrated --- and suddenly worried about a rear attack from the equally-powerful Raven Sterling --- decided to launch hundreds of Reaction Missiles in a single volley at Haunsenwolden and its defenders, and the resultant explosions lit up the entire sector, the flares capable of being seen even from Sweetwater. In one blow, the entirety of Haunsenwolden, save its dock section, was annihilated in what would subsequently be known as the 'Night of the Fireflies'. That quickly lost significance, however, as the weakened Felsworn fleet was subsequently annihilated by the Sterling Forces just two days later, but the shoal zone, a grim reminder of Haunsenwolden and the Night, remained to this day.

There was no way the Necronomicon can enter the shoal zone, nor would it be a good idea --- should Rawn find Melodius here, they would be trapped. But Melodius didn't need for the Necronomicon to go into the Garden of Thorns to do what he set out to do. As the Necronomicon hovered near the edge of the shoal zone, the Dezpada circled around its rear section once, warming up, pushing its speed as a team of eight SPARTANs --- four Mercuriuses and four Vayeates --- waited nearby for his orders.

"Tuxedo Mask, make your preparations here as planned, and then move the Necronomicon." Melodius ordered from inside the Dezpada's cockpit. "I'll take my group and make a reconnaissance run. Extract us on my word."

"As you wish, Commander," Tuxedo Mask answered. "If it is your wish, I shall run as quickly as I can."

Melodius nodded, and switched his frequency to another ship right next to the Necronomicon --- the new ally that Melodius had obtained. "Mr. Evist, is your team prepared? I want three of your pilots to make this run with me; In case of trouble, their main task will be to help the Mercuriuses protect the Vayeates while they make their attacks. Our primary targets will be their capital ships, so keep all Mobile Suits and fighters off the Vayeates for as long as possible. If you are ordered to retreat, do that at once."

Unknown Location

Meanwhile, in an entirely different place hidden on the Lunar surface, the cloaked Master stood up from his throne in the deepest sections of the base, walking forward, the various lights and flashing monitors in his 'throne room' still feeding various data to him. The man smiled deviously, pleased with his progress; According to the data he had gathered, Project Sirene was ahead of schedule, and both Melodius and Camilla were in place; soon, his newest servant would be complete as well, as would the Sinanju.

And most importantly, his little hapless, unknowing apprentice --- Emily Stormgunner --- was ready for the first step into the Dark Side. It was this last thought that made his smile widen and the Master start to chuckle.

Oh, yes. Stormgunner...she's lost her first battle, tasted failure for the very first time. As the Master left his room, the various displays shut off instantaneously, shrouding him in deeper darkness. Her Morale Bonuses are gone. She's starting to doubt her build, and thinking about retraining...but she doesn't know as what. Emily...is starting to feel worthless as her initial build, a Pallymonk.

The Master kept walking, shuffling within his robes.

And that's exactly where I want her.

He walked into a corridor, dimly lit; Through it, after a moment, not stopping his stride, the Master reached an elevator which, in welcome, automatically opened for him.

The time has come for her initiation into the Dark Side...into the way of the Munchkin.

Stopping in the elevator, the Master turned around. It would not be long now; everything was as he had foreseen, Project Sirene will succeed. And when it does, the Federation, Fandom and Divine Crusaders...and the Earth Sphere...there will be a new world order, a new renaissance. It was only a matter of time; It was his destiny.

It is time I headed to Earth, met Emily there. She will not refuse me this time. I will not be denied.

Soon, I will have my revenge on the Roleplayers.

- Theo Rawn, Grey Wolf bridge -

"Sir, we are receiving a distress call from a supply convoy. They say that they are under pirate attack." said the comm officer.

Rawn nodded and said "All ships ahead full. Set course to intercept the convoy. Ready all mobile suits for launch."

In only a couple minutes, the Rawn fleet started up and moved out to assist the convoy in distress.

The Twins

The two eerily Identical and mechanical girls had remained by their mechs they stood motionless ready to launch at a moments notice. The mechanics had at first turned their heads as they passed the girls but soon lost interest in their still forms.

Faste


"very well Mr. Greye"

Faste then headed to the hanger.

"I'm going myself numbers 2 and 3 remain here. I doubt they will try any thing but one should never be careless around strangers"

The Gundam and 4 Jegans launched; these four were visually indistinguishable from normal Jegans

15 minutes later

"Commander, I am detecting a broadband transmission from the Federation convoy," One of the SPARTANs in a Vayeate reported, causing Melodius' ears to perk up from inside the Dezpada's cockpit. With the Dezpada at the front and center of the formation, the Mercuriuses and Vayeates were lined up in a neat chevron formation as they made their reconnaissance run. "It is under attack from the Pirate Guild and requesting backup."

"I see." So it's started, Melodius braced himself. Thrawn, what's on your mind now...?

"Commander," Another SPARTAN reported. "The Necronomicon has reported back. Target Federation task force is on the move and heading towards the distress signal."

"Is it an encircling motion?"

A pause. "Negative, Commander. It'll be a head-on assault from the task force's trajectory."

Melodius didn't smile at that, but he didn't frown, either; Mostly, he felt indifferent about what that entailed. So the convoy wasn't a trap and Thrawn is hurrying to rescue it. It wasn't the best scenario, but, Melodius granted himself, it wasn't the worst, either. Anything could happen any number of ways, however --- Rawn would attack him for certain, but if Gon Jem decides that Melodius was stealing his loot, he would likely split up to attack Melodius' own small force as well. There was no telling what the chances of success there were. "How far away from the distress signal?"

"At our current trajectory and vector, we will come up across the distress source in fifteen minutes; the task force will arrive before us, and our vector roughly places our approach towards the Federation Task Force's starboard side."

"Everyone, change course and head directly for the distress signal. Our primary targets are the Federation Task Force's Capital Ships, so protecting the Vayeates are priority. If the Pirate Guild attacks you, you will immediately return fire." Melodius nodded, and the task force swerved in unison towards the besieged convoy ahead. He would have to be cautious, and adjust to whatever comes; Despite the free passage, this was most likely going to turn out to be a three-way battle, to Melodius' inner chagrin. "Mr. Evist, aside from that, your task has not changed. Help the Mercuriuses protect the Vayeates."

- Theo Rawn -

"Sir, picking up incoming mobile suits to starboard. Some of them match the profile of the red and blue suits at the Trinary battle."

"Time to intercept?" asked Rawn.

"About 15 minutes. We will beat them to the convoy however."

"Advise the other ships to continue with the rescue operation of the convoy. We'll use the Grey Wolf and our own mobile suits to stop these other units."

- Raven Sterling -

Raven had just received another bit of good news. In addition to the loss of one of their members, the Gundam Team had now failed in one of their missions which is one step on the road to eliminating them forever.

Sending an encoded transmission to Wraith, she had a special mission that if successful would throw the DC into chaos. The objective was very straightforward and simple: Kill Bian Zoldark.

It was a gamble, but one worth trying even if it failed.

Wraith

upon receiving his newest orders Wraith immediately commandeered a shuttle aboard the Gwazine class. Once the 008L was onboard Wriath immediately set off. According to the latest reports the longer Wraith waited to strike the less likely he was to succeed.

Faste

"as you wish"

Faste then radioed his men.

"keep your IFF codes set to Civilian ones. We don't want to give up our best trump card quite yet."

-Melodius-

"Commander, the Federation Task Force is splitting up. One of their ships is headed towards us."

Melodius blinked and looked up, not believing his luck; Despite not being able to catch Rawn on two fronts, Rawn splitting up meant that there was less for Melodius to deal with right now. With the Vayeates, Melodius could at least inflict significant damage on the Grey Wolf --- if it really was the Grey Wolf, although if it wasn't the Grey Wolf all Rawn would've managed to do is weaken himself for the pincer --- and if all else fails, there was always his little backup contingency.

"All units, accelerate to attack speed. Vayeates, get into position. Mercuriuses, stay close to the Vayeates and prepare to engage." Melodius promptly ordered, and the attack group speared straight towards the approaching Grey Wolf, and to the inevitable confrontation.

Faste

His men each teamed up with one of the Veyeate/Mercurius pairs and readied their rifles.

Faste would wait and see; he would go where he saw the most use and profit.

The Twins

upon receiving orders the two immediately boarded their machines and readied to launch.

"Sir, unknown mobile suits are accelerating. We appear to be their target."

Rawn nodded. "All hands combat status one. Target the enemy formation with AA split missiles. Ready all defensive guns."
The crew made to carry out the orders as Rawn rode the chair to the combat bridge in preparation for the attack.
"Launch all mobile suits to intercept after the first wave of missiles."

- Maarek Stele, Grey Wolf hanger -

"All right. Time to have some fun." Maarek said as he along with Captain Smith were the first off the catapult with the cyborg sisters behind them.

The first wave of missiles shot out of their launch tubes at the enemy formation and now it was the pilot's turn.
"Marrek Stele, moving out!"
"Alex Smith, Qu Rai, launching."
Almost simultaneously both suits were shot off into space to meet their attackers.

- Anti-Pirate fleet -

Meanwhile, the rest of the fleet had caught up with the convoy and began firing missiles and mega particle beams at the attacking ships while mobile suits began taking off from their decks.

-Melodius-

"SPARTANs, retain formation, first volley---" Melodius ordered, and the Dezpada hovered momentarily some distance above the line of Mercuriuses and Vayeates lined up towards the Grey Wolf, the Vayeates with Beam Cannons drawn --- and charging power. That was when the first wave of missiles came at them from the Grey Wolf, registering as mental pings in Melodius' head; Spinning the Dezpada once, the blue-and-black Mobile Suit pointed its binders at the wave of missiles, and Melodius raised his hand...and pointed it forward. "Fire!"

At once, four large yellow beams blasted out of the Vayeates' Beam Cannons, causing the four blue-painted Mobile Suits to recoil back slightly in unison, just as Melodius fired the Dezpada's own Beam Cannon, sending a burst of smaller beams lancing out in a wide arc forward. The combined wave of beam fire annihilated much of the missile wave, detonating them in bright flares, as two of the Vayeates' blasts continued forward towards the Grey Wolf; The remainder were caught in time by the Mercurius' Planet Defensor Shield Wall.

Then seeing the Grey Wolf's Mobile Suits launch, and seeing the sonar register a few of the incoming units as new models, Melodius 'hmmph'ed and pulled the Dezpada upright for a moment, arms outstretched, in a posture of challenge. The Grey Wolf's complement was slightly more numerous than he expected and had a number of new models --- which meant Melodius would, in addition to gathering whatever data he could from these new Federation models, have to intercept them and give the Vayeates time to do their task.

With another wave of his hand forward, Melodius' Dezpada signalled to Faste and the Jegans accompanying him. "Faste, change of plans. Form up on the Dezpada's wings and advance; We'll take the Mobile Suits and draw as many of them away from the Vayeates as possible." With that, the Dezpada shot up, and forward, moving in a blaze of speed at the first Mobile Suit in the Grey Wolf's own formation --- which Melodius recognized with a derisive sneer. It was Stele's Nu Gundam again. "Oh, but of course," Melodius frowned, the Dezpada opening off with a small wave of missiles that flared towards Stele, Alex and the Grey Wolf's Mobile Suits while Melodius cleared his mind and readied the Psyrods to join the attack. "Where Thrawn goes, you are as well. As this was inevitable, so is our rematch, it seems..."

Faste

Faste quickly did as instructed his five units each selected a target from among the Federation MS. Faste hoped that this Greye didn't plan to outright win this battle for such a victory would likely prove impossible.

Faste was about to target a Jegan when something else caught his eye.

The Twins

They left the deck and both machines transformed. The WildSaber took the lead while the WildBuster stayed back and provided support fire.

The Wildsaber's high speed charge was interrupted by a shot from a beam rifle, though, the evasion was a simple move. The source of the attack was a Gundam type model that looked like an older machine.

-Pirate Jegans 3 & 4-

the Jegans selected the second machine as their shared target. and odd machine they had no data on. they opened with a shot from each of their rifles, one from it's left one from the right.

-Pirate Jegans 5 & 6-

the remaining Jegans fired at a pair of Normal types since they hadn't seen WildBuster behind the main group.

((Sonar in space? That would be completely useless.))

Fortunately the Vayeate beams originated too far off to be accurate enough to hit the Grey Wolf and passed by with out any trouble.

- Maarek Stele -

"Ah, so it's you again." he said recognizing the dark colored mobile suit.
"Smith, take the twins with you and deal with those red and blue machines. I'll deal with this purple guy myself. Jegan team one, keep anyone else off my tail. Team two, protect the Grey Wolf.

The missiles coming at him were easily avoided or shot down by quick bursts of vulcan fire.
"Let's see if you've improved any since the last time." said Maarek as he fired 4 shots off from his new shield mounted beam cannon.

- Alex Smith -

"Roger that." he said deferring his own rank to Maarek as the mobile suit team leader of the Grey Wolf.

The Qu Rai moved in fast evading the rifle fire shots at it, and closed in on the Mercurius and Vayeate mobile suits and opened fire on the nearest pair of them with it's two beam rifles.

The Jegans meanwhile began engageing the pirate machines as per Maarek's order and returned rifle fire at the pirate Jegans.

-Melodius-

The Dezpada nimbly twisted out of the Beam Cannon's way, moved further upwards --- so that now he was towering over much of the Mobile Suit complement from the Grey Wolf --- and countered with his own, both binders sending multiple yellow beams at Stele, as at the same time the Psyrods finally shot out, lanced through space, and split up --- the two from the left binder dove for Alex's Qu Rai, while the two from the right binder encircled the rear and downwards...as if waiting for Stele to launch his own Newtype weapons.

"I intend to give you an eyeful to worry about this time," Melodius muttered.

The Mercuriuses deployed their Planet Defensors as Alex and the Twins approached, the two pairs of Planet Defensors catching both blasts with a violent shove, and as the group moved forward slightly to adjust their aim the Mercuriuses fired their own Shorty Beam Rifles at Alex in retort, readying their Crash Shields at the same time for the charge. The Vayeates, in the meanwhile, were charging their Beam Cannons again for a second volley at the Grey Wolf.

The Twins

Mellia did not try to fight the unit that had tried to stop her; she did as ordered and moved to engage one of the Veyeates. She transformed and brought her ASS in a horizontal swipe at the Veyeate's midsection.

Maria fired several long range shots at the paired Mercurius hers were more accurate than any humans, especially at that range.

Faste


His 'date' left without so much as a goodbye and Faste was soon forced into combat with a pair of Jegans. He was certainly able to hold his own even with the performance gap.

His men each engaged one on one with a Grey wolf Jegans. They would not let the Federation pilots make use of the performance gap between them.

-Redemption's Bridge

As the captain talked with the DC Space Forces whoever Kyle suddenly felt sick. It was like he had just been tagged by a spirit because his skin and insides felt cold as ice and numb. Strength had slipped from him in two sharp moments forcing him to brace himself on a chair before he fell.

"What just happened?" He asked himself trying to regain his balance and not embrass himself on the bridge. Someone looked over at him and asked if he was alright but Kyle just replied it was simple fold sickness. this was a lie of course because he had done this several times by now and could handle it better than anyone else here since he had done it in his VF-25.

For those cold moments the strangest thing happened that he had noticed when the person had approached him concern. Kyle's newtype response hadn't been there and he had actually be caught by surprise by the guy's question. But now that the coldness and fatigue were lifting he began to become aware of everyone again. Had he just been the victim of something strange cause he had felt this before but even to now he didn't know from where.

While he was doing his thing the Uraga and Northhampton entered the DC detachment for safety and everyone on the bridge gave a sigh of relief knowing that they could finally sleep.
