-Luna/Lyon-

"That would be me." Luna said as she entered the hangar with Lyon not too far behind.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Zaraki... I'm Luna Ramius, commander of the Excalibur. This is my lead pilot Lyon." Lyon waved in response.

"If you wish we could discuss your situation further in private."

-Zaraki-

"Comrades? Those people kept locked up. I hate them all especially Zangetsu. That guy even managed to best me in one on one combat. I want a shot at hi and I know I can't do it alone. That island is too well defended, so I'll need allies." Zaraki said as he stood gazing at Ramius with the a serious expresion eched on his face. "I figure I have the best chance of fighting the best opponents with you guys. I'm am best pilot alive, I bring my skills and my gundam's tesla drive as a token of good will. So Ms. Ramius do we have a deal?"

-Luna-

She listened to Zaraki's story, and was plain shocked at it, but understood what he was saying.

"Very well, welcome aboard then. You'll be of great help around here."

"Tch, I'll be of help only in battle." Zaraki said as he made his way to the door. "I'm off to the hangar if you need me." he walked out then headed to the hangar.

--Gundam Team ver. Awesome--

Rachel's fellow pilots were shocked at the captain's announcement. Taylor was particularly shocked---since the stab by the anti-ship sword happened earlier and she was still fighting as if she didn't get wounded. Rachel managed to get one of the GW bits to land for repairs. Lauren continues that she had fainted inside the cockpit shortly after pushing the distress signal in her Gundam after parking in the hangar.

"How bad is the injury?" Taylor asks. She still had that professional tone, although one would have noticed some worry.

"Well, she's alert now, and joking around even. She suffered a wound in the left side of the forehead and a deep wound on her right hand. She'll be alright?"

"I see." Taylor notes, while Slug sighs some relief. Why do I somehow feel responsible for that? He's having that 'coulda, woulda, shoulda'' guilt, even though he knew the Fandom made a huge push against his Gundam with GN-XIII's and MD's. Bleh, whatever. Glad she's ok, at least/ Slug shakes his head to clear his mind of something he couldn't help.

"Alright pilots, be alert for a bit, we wouldn't get Major Anne's support for a few days or weeks."

--Duskraiders--

A call from the command center had Max, Silas and Erina's notices ringing. They would later find out that it's a temporary transfer to Wake Island---apparently there have been some incidents in Tokyo while they were gone, and it's rather volatile. The Fafnir's presence in Tokyo, who had just helped to fend off a big Fandom attack, ought to bring some security.

"Captain," Max asks of Lauren, "We need to take a temporary stay here in Wake, as well as my wingmen. We'll take care of the Destroy."

"I see. Good luck, watch Rie's back for me will ya?"

Max just smiles bacl as he ordered Silas and Erina in their Gundams to roll out.


--Slug, Taylor-- (again)

As soon as they heard of the Airmaster team and their assignment regarding Wake and the Destroy, Taylor signals Slug to get back on the ship.

Slug was the first and he goes straight for the first aid room, where he sees...

--Rachel--

...the young newtype lay still in bed, eating that sandwich again, with her head in bandages and the left arm in a cast.

Slug shows up and froze for a bit, with Taylor not too far behind to visit.

"Yo," Rachel says.

"Glad you're alright!" Taylor says with a higher note. Slug had that look of relief that, well, she's alive and well. "That guy did a number on you, eh?" Slug points out Rachel's injuries.

Rachel replies, "Well, it's just a flesh wound."

With some light laughs in the room, Taylor informs Rachel of what had happened in the final stages of the battle, including her Airmaster wingmen scoring the most kills in the Duskraiders, and Johann's... prize.

"And I thought I was hallucinating when I saw a GN-X as I landed..." Rachel notes, "Where is he?"

Slug replies, "Probably still playing with his new toy. He didn't hear about you I think."

"Ah."

"Well, I have to go and report this skirmish," Taylor says as she bowed out of the room and left, leaving Slug and Rachel in the room.

After some silence, Slug tries to break the ice, but he obviously had a timid look, scratching the back of his head. "So uh... thanks for helping me off that Throne attack... and stuff."

"No problem, Slugs," she replies, not looking.

After that quick response, another few seconds of silence, and Slug speaks out again. "So uh... sorry for not getting there in time to help you..."

"No problem, Slugs, it's not your fault."

Somehow the response didn't convince Slug. He tries again.

"I mean, there was a bunch of the GN-XIII's and---"

Rachel looks at Slug this time, and reiterates herself, "It's alright, Slugs, calm down, don't go too emotional on me..." She didn't have a scornful look, although there is some disappointment evident.

Not pointed at 'Slugs', apparently, as she continues, "That was my fault. I underestimated the guy. It was fast, didn't you see?"

"Yes it was... with all the flashy stuff... yeah."

"Yeah, I just need to watch out I guess, the pilot was making all the right calls."

"I wouldn't be surprised, you've been terrorizing them for quite awhile with your cheater bits," Slug says as Rachel rolled her eyes. "Hmph, you give me your Ex-S or Taylor's bling I assure you the results would have been the same," she scoffs, although jokingly.

For awhile they chatted, until Slug declared that he'd go hangout with Johann for a bit. As Slug left the room, some of the worries he had cleared a little bit. 'It's fine,' 'It's all right,' 'It's okay; those phrases usually mean the exact opposite when it comes to women, but at least the conversations they had had Slug concluding that she really meant those phrases.

Slug just shrugs and walks over to the hangar, as the Fafnir sets its sails on Tokyo.

Raven & Co

Raven cursed to herself again her plans had failed to wield the expected results. These continuous defeats were ruining the Fandom and worst still her reputation. Her discontent was so great even Johann and Nina could feel it prompting the former to speak up.

"My lady we did great deal of damage at the very-"

"Shut up! it doesn't matter we've failed again and that is all the families can see"

Purple Haro had bounced ahead and chose this moment to add his most unwanted two cents.

"LOSERS! LOSERS!; LOSERS! LOSERS!"

Ravens face shifted further towards rage as she aimed a swift kick that sent the Purple sphere bouncing away as it continued its declaration.

"Nena teach that little wretch some manners; now be gone both of you I wish to be alone."

With that Raven took a side passage and headed for a private room where she didn't have to bother with the rest of the world for a few hours.

-Martin Snow-

"Right lets get started"

With that June and Martin headed for the Guren where they used the journey back to figure out the powerful machine.

Silver Knights

after setting the disabled Percival down on Wake Island the two KMFs began to recover as much of the crew from the now fully sunk Charles Darwin they would have to remain there at wake till another ship or carrier could be sent for them.

The Twins

the two machine had been flying defense for the barges holding back until the need arrived, which it never did. now that the battle had ended the Two identified the vessel they had been assigned to and requested landing permission; sending their transfers along with the request.

--a few hours later--
Raven Sterling/Wraith

Raven escorted by Wraith was returning to her office in Hawaii to consider the Fandom's next moves and it's rearrangement. Without even thinking she entered the large Private office, Wraith trailing silently. However to her surprise someone else was already inside the office.

"Hello dear cousin"

Victious Sterling swiveled around and placed his elbows on the desk in front of him while bringing his hands together and interlocking the fingers.

"It is a pleasure to see you again after so many years."

The man cracked a fey smile.

((Last call for anything that needs to happen pre-timeskip.))

-Shion-

She noticed her e-mail didn't go through the first time, so she re-sent the request for permission to meet with Bian to discuss her project.

In case he didn't want to meet, she included the details of her project, and the reason she needed to use the portal system.

-Bian-

He noticed an e-mail had come from Shion. Bian then took a moment to read through the message, and sent her a reply approving the project.

-Shion-

Once she read that he gave his approval, she quickly set to work gathering the needed materials and the powerplant that required the portal system, and once she had everything, She started her project.
