"A-Dumb? I hope, for your sake, that your senses are sharper than your wits." Adam laughed and stepped from side to side swiping playfully at the air. Laku groaned and rolled her eyes as the onlookers snickered. "Whaaaaat, did I say something you didn't like?" Her stance wasn't rigid at all. He figured that was best - easy to spring in any direction if you didn't tighten up and commit to an action.

But right now they were at an impasse. She was content to let him dance around like a monkey. He had to get her angrier. "You and I both know full well that Laku wouldn't bite at that... she has a little thing called dignity, am I right?" A whoop went up from the men in the room who Star hadn't crushed yet. They were certainly enjoying the show.

"He's taking it a bit too faaaaar..." muttered Nelson. Laku was quietly sliding towards the back of the room, her face bright red.

Word had filtered up to the bridge by now. While Simms probably wouldn't have wanted the pilots doing anything crazy so soon after a mission, a little competition was healthy, right? The monitors in the bridge displayed the action. Gimbley just let his jaw drop as he listened to Star and Adam taunt each other. "Captain... is it okay to let them...?"

Simms let out a heavy sigh. "Everyone's a bundle of nerves, it might actually be best to let them get it all out now... Of course, we'll have to reprimand them afterwards."

Morris turned back to his console. "If that boy keeps it up, you won't have anything LEFT to reprimand..."

Star Snaped

NOBODY... but nobody insulted her like that and lived. she launched into a attack swinging high at his head forcing him to dodge but the moment it had wistled past his head she changed direction swinging low catching him in the knees

"Just keeps getting worse doesn't it? we can't take off in these conditions, I'm a damn desert Tiger not a Siberian Tiger! *sigh* maybe i need to make my self a new name, any word on the status of the gundams?" Waltfeld asked after his complaints about the wheather "We might be able to get the G-Saviour about in a hour, the others will be a short time after that, with wheather this bad the Flag's are grounded" a techie said over the communications line from the hanger. Meanwhile Holland and Luna were in there rooms, exausted and now sleeping. Diane was now out of her medically induced coma and looking better but was still pretty beat up and hopped up on pain killers.

Star Snaped. NOBODY... but nobody insulted her like that and lived. she launched into a attack swinging high at his head forcing him to dodge...

As Star made her move, all Adam could think was how smoothly the plan was going. Right on time! he thought. Her attack came in high, and he was able to read it and step aside. With Star this close, she would be hard-pressed to avoid his counter. He snapped his arm forward to make a jab at her gut...

... but the moment it had wistled past his head she changed direction swinging low catching him in the knees

... but he wondered why Star was smiling so devilishly. She'd missed. She was still in range. Why would she... a sharp pang of pain was delivered instantly to his legs as she finished her follow-through. Adam was still in mid-thrust when it hit, and he realized that he'd forgotten something important about her reaction time - it applied as much to her own movements as it did to his. Now he had to hope his strike would hit her before he hit the ground, because getting up was going to be an adventure.

"sweetheart? Sunshine?" she glared at him her look instantly darkening "you so have the wrong girl there A-Dumb try Laku it might work on her... so if you think you got what it takes hit me...Hit me!" her stance looked almost relaxed and her grip on her stick almost neglagent but she was wound tighter than a coiled spring

she would put Adam in his place then maybe Nelson or even jacob would provide a challange but with Jaron there aswell something was trying to poke through the Adrelaline rush something she would try and supress

"A-Dumb? I hope, for your sake, that your senses are sharper than your wits." Adam laughed and stepped from side to side swiping playfully at the air.

The moment the fight officially began, Jacob felt a rush of emotion run through him as if it were some kind of power generating within him. Relying on instinct, he ran forward into the ring and yelled, "STOP!" while unwillingly throwing his arms out sending Star, Adam, and several people flying in opposite directions. He looked around to see that most of the people there were shocked to see Jacob perform his newfound powers on the crowd.

He turned to Adam telling him, "Adam. I don't know what it is that caused you to enter a fight with Star, but whatever problem you have, physically fighting her is not a way to solve your problems." He turned to Star and told her, "Star. I know you're better than this. You showed me you are capable of more than just agrivation. If you could talk to me, you should be more than able to do so with others..." Jacob didn't want to see two people he considered friends to be fighting, and he was hoping Star could speak to Jaron about his brother. She was a better person than this... And Jacob knew that...

Jaron looked around and heard Jacob talk to Adam and Star. Jacob was giving an important lecture to the two of them, and obviously wanted to see them work out their problems in a real way. Jacob gave Jaron a sense of hope that Star might be more sociable than she was being so far, seeing Jacob was able to calm her down before. He could only hope that at least one of them would listen...

Star was in the process of blocking Adam's weak attept at an attack when she suddenly felt herself being slammed across the ring into the rope's and turned to gare at jacob as he spoke

"of course i'm better! I'm always better" she had totaly missed what jacob had been trying to say still caught in the rush. she han't been fighting to vent her anger and fustration that was just a side effect it was training pure and simple it wasnt her falt that not one of them could ever hope to match her.

He looked around to see that most of the people there were shocked to see Jacob perform his newfound powers on the crowd.

Adam felt Star blocking his jab with her free hand when he was suddenly thrown backwards against the ropes by Jacob's psychic attack. It took a moment to register what had happened. "Whoa, whoa, what the heck was that for?" he yelled. "That was just a bit of harmless fun!"

He turned to Adam telling him, "Adam. I don't know what it is that caused you to enter a fight with Star, but whatever problem you have, physically fighting her is not a way to solve your problems." He turned to Star and told her, "Star. I know you're better than this. You showed me you are capable of more than just agrivation.

"Now hold up, just a moment there!" Adam shouted. "What's wrong with a little training fight? I was just trying to get under her skin. I'm just fooling around... believe me, I want her to be a part of the team." He turned to Star. "We just need to show her that she doesn't need to be a machine any more... she can cut loose and relax for once."

His knees were throbbing. It was going to take some courage to stand once Jacob let go of them. "Talking is all well and good, but sometimes that just isn't good enough. My problem isn't one I can solve with words."

OOC: still can get pretty bad, it is a russian winter :P

The windows of the bridge were almost completly covered by the sticky snow that was coming down in large flakes. Most of the crew was keeping doors closed closed and making sure no cold air was leaking in. Because of this the crew was for the most part nice and toasty. Every person had either hot chocolate or coffee in hand as they worked to have a refreashing warm drink.

"They put us on hold again didn't they?" Ramius asked "Seems so, this is getting annoying, but theres nothing we can do about it for now" Mu said from the corner of the bridge.

Jacob answered, "It's a matter of Star's issues Adam. She isn't here simply for fun, she has much on her mind." He said so, based on what he could tell from Star's recent mood. Continuing, he said, "No one can resolve one anothers issues if they do not understand each other..." It was all part of Jacob's character. He never wanted to see people he cared for turning against one another, and if worst came to worst, he might end up in a mental breakdown.

Jacob told finally told him, "If you don't want to tell your problems with words, then why don't you tell them to me?" Jacob implied. If Adam couldn't tell anyone's problems, Jacob was going to learn them even if it did mean fighting him... Without his powers...

Novogorad base

General Yevensky watched as the men entered and took there seats and waited a moment for the men to settle down before speaking "gentalmen. for the past week you've been training day and night in all sorts of senarios in all kinds of conditions againts the best units the republic has to offer in Suits so old that they where new when i was a pilot"

He pauses to let the fact that he used to pilot these suits sink in "and after doing some research i've discovered that your have everyone of you surpased the high scores of the day by a significant margen"

"i cannot yet tell you the nature of the mission youve been training for but i can tell you that you have been hand picked to take part in wat will hopefully become one of the greatest moments in history! Gentalmen. Pack your things... we move out in 10 minutes! Dismissed!" he saluted before exiting the room.

The pilots stood up in unison and saluted the general before leaving the room in a single file line. Once they got outside, everyone erupted into conversations ranging from the general’s previous piloting experiences to theories regarding the secret mission they were assigned to.

“Did you hear that?” asked Alexei, even more excited than before, “we’re gonna be in the history books! Just imagine, our children and grandchildren will be reading about the brave pilots of Hammer Squadron, heroes of the republic.” Alexei looked upwards in a dreamlike manner.

“Oh please, you don’t even know what the mission is and you’re already dreaming up crazy fantasies,” replied Dmitri. Despite saying this, Dmitri couldn’t help but feel that the mission they were about to carry out was going to be important; the general looked dead serious when he said that it would be one of the greatest moments in history.

The group of pilots dispersed and each went to their room to change into their flight suits and pack up their belongings. After approximately ten minutes, everyone regrouped and headed outside to where the general was waiting.

he watched the men assemble out side waiting as they all arived "Men i can not order you to get on these trucks but before you boldly volenter i must tell you there will be no turning back and anyone found to be jepordizing the mission will be given no quarterthe final choise is yours you are either with us or against us the fate of the world is in our hands"

Without hesitation, every pilot stepped forward and saluted.

“General, I think I speak for all of us when I say that we will do anything that you say in order to protect the Republic,” Dmitri said, still saluting. The others all nodded in approval.

With that, the pilots fell at ease and began boarding the trucks, ready for anything.

"I'm not a machine!" she barked at Adam before rounding on Jacob again "and quit talking about me like I'm not here!" the thing was they where right well most of it anyway she did have underlying issues but no one would ever truly understand those.

The beta training in conjunction with her military training and the emotional programing did make her into a machine but it had also provided an outlet for her temper it had also focused her giving her something predictable... and for her normal. the dramatic changes she had gone through the past couple of weeks where almost more than she could handle and she had been trained to handle quite alot

"I'll believe it when I see it," Adam replied. "Fact of the matter is, you're still so hung up on the former you that you refuse to acknowledge what's here now! This is the only way we can reach you!"

Nelson had no idea what to do. Everyone was right, but at the same time, everyone was wrong. "Jacob, you should put them down... Adam's right, sometimes words aren't the right way to communicate something. You've grown up with a lot of diplomatic training, so I can understand that you want to take that route. But we've been trained to be soldiers first. Our fists and actions speak louder."

"FINALLY, someone who agrees with me," muttered Adam, still hanging limp against the ropes.

"But lay off her a bit, all right? You can be a bit too much to take in at once." Adam laughed as Nelson turned to Star. "Honestly, we haven't done a good job of making you feel at home. But that's what Adam was trying to do here, treat you like one of the regulars."

The suporting Geminie units streaked into the battle zone finaly catching up on there flight pods the remaining aries booing out leaving the fresh Gemini units to continue the battle with more numbers than before this battle was going to be over for the CAS... the republic would let them retreat abnd not persue they didn't have the numbers for that but they would hold this position
The now retreating forces took heavy casualties as the fresh enemy units came in. However, they too were getting closer to reinforcements as the forces called for speeded to the battles. Still casualties mounted as the near nonexistant TINNs and remaining mobile AA units resisted the onslaught of fresh enemy units. Missiles had long since been expended and now only machineguns and autocannons fought back. Still these were enough to bring down many units as the shots tore through armor and destroyed the mobile suit. Thus this blanket of fire would make the enemy confused and hopefully eventually slip up and be destroyed.
［North CAS Command Center]
The generals looked over a map of the area and more specifically the bases under attack. Two had been almost entirely wiped out and the other two were retreating. The renforcements sent were on their way but the attack made it necessary to speed the construction of bases stationary defenses and other building nessecary for any counter attack. The lines for now were mostly settled with 20% still seeking new territories. When these new territories were conquered a portion of units from the rear lines (the remainder to defend against orbital drop) Moved up to construct new bases. It was these bases that were under attack and now falling back. The entire thing was a headache for the generals as the forces were all sectored in different areas and more units had to be brought up in a reasonable amount of time. ｈｅ

The space defence group has recently developed a plan to harass the spacecraft orbiting CAS.Numerous older, more damaged TINNs were reconfigured. These TINNs would be remote controlled. They could take off and land safely but were no match for an actuall real opponent. However, these TINNs could easily take ASAＴ　missiles up to space space and strike the ships overhead. It was a well known fact that these ships had relatively few lower defences (unless they were newer) since they were built to at least partially protect in the event of rentery.(If its not well just ignore that last part)　The missiles would be sent up where it was hoped that they would deter the orbiting ships from staying close to CAS space for any period of time.

IC: Perhaps this was something Jacob himself had failed to do... Maybe he was getting in the way of helping resolving the issues... Indeed, it would seem his fighting nature was only existant when he was in battle, but was far from willing to turn on a fellow pilot, even playfully. It made him feel somewhat hypocritical about what he told Jaron about how his people were descended from Vikings, since he himself could not feel that way at the moment. Perhaps all Star and Adam trully needed was time to face one another, and he was probably a hinderance between the two... Though he still wondered what it was that had Adam in such a worry. Regretfully, he said, "In that case, I must apologize..." Jacob immeadietly turned around to exit the ring...

OOC: I think the story might progress better if somebody tries to get him involved...

"I'll believe it when I see it," Adam replied. "Fact of the matter is, you're still so hung up on the former you that you refuse to acknowledge what's here now! This is the only way we can reach you!"

Nelson had no idea what to do. Everyone was right, but at the same time, everyone was wrong. "Jacob, you should put them down... Adam's right, sometimes words aren't the right way to communicate something. You've grown up with a lot of diplomatic training, so I can understand that you want to take that route. But we've been trained to be soldiers first. Our fists and actions speak louder."

"FINALLY, someone who agrees with me," muttered Adam, still hanging limp against the ropes.

"But lay off her a bit, all right? You can be a bit too much to take in at once." Adam laughed as Nelson turned to Star. "Honestly, we haven't done a good job of making you feel at home. But that's what Adam was trying to do here, treat you like one of the regulars."

IC: Perhaps this was something Jacob himself had failed to do... Maybe he was getting in the way of helping resolving the issues... Indeed, it would seem his fighting nature was only existant when he was in battle, but was far from willing to turn on a fellow pilot, even playfully. It made him feel somewhat hypocritical about what he told Jaron about how his people were descended from Vikings, since he himself could not feel that way at the moment. Regretfully, he said, "In that case, I must apologize..." Jacob immeadietly turned around to exit the ring...

"Eh, that's fine, you did what you thought was right," Adam said, sliding through the ropes. He winced from the blow to his knees. The fight with Star was as brief and hopeless as he should've expected, but he felt better now. "Hey, as long as we're all learning something new about ourselves, why don't you give this a shot?" he yelled at Jacob. "Star probably wants a decent fight anyway, am I right?"

"You shouldn't try to deny your fighting spirit, it's part of who you are," said Nelson. "There's no harm in a friendly fight with an ally or two. You really can learn a lot that way. It's a kind of bond that's not easily broken."

Laku sighed and heaved herself off of the back wall, where she'd been leaning and observing quietly. "Look at it this way," she began, "you're the inheritor of a proud fighting tradition... Norse, Viking, whatever you want to call it. They believed in the immutable strength of a warrior's spirit. At the end of time, the old world would be destroyed in an awesome battle and then be reborn anew. Those proud warriors would be the instruments of that change. Well, we're fighting that war against Terra now. It's us who're going to give birth to the new world. Shouldn't you be ready? If you know your friends inside and out, nothing can come between you, and perhaps you can reverse the fate that's been handed to you."

Nelson stared at her, wondering where on Earth that had come from. Adam did likewise. "Riiiiight... what she said," he said, holding the stick out for Jacob. "You in?"

You could take the caveman out of the cave, but you can never take the cave out of the man... If any phrase could sum up how correct Laku was, that was the one. It was the fact that Jacob was descended from a race of warriors. The old pagan religion was long dead indeed, but the common people clung to their roots quite firmly. The Scandinavian Church could attempt to wipe out all reminders of the old Scandinavian belief system, but people would still strongly believe in the habits of the ancestors. But even further, the idea of the new world being made from a new generation of warriors. It reminded Jacob of the Ragnarok myth. The world would be set ablaze for a new one while warriors would train in Valhalla for the forth coming battle... Jacob was far from willing to set the world ablaze literally, but changing the world was something he was more than willing to do. If that meant learning more about friends as well as former enemies in any way possible, then perhaps Laku was correct. He smiled, stood up and said, "I am Nelson."

Jaron expected that finding Star would get her to be able to talk to him, but things just didn't seem to work out the way they were intended. Star must have been in one of those "Water is needed on the flaming rock" moods, and maybe Jacob could help with that. "I guess that's what Star needs. Maybe she needs to meet her match..." Jaron thought to himself.

The now retreating forces took heavy casualties as the fresh enemy units came in. However, they too were getting closer to reinforcements as the forces called for speeded to the battles. Still casualties mounted as the near nonexistant TINNs and remaining mobile AA units resisted the onslaught of fresh enemy units. Missiles had long since been expended and now only machineguns and autocannons fought back. Still these were enough to bring down many units as the shots tore through armor and destroyed the mobile suit. Thus this blanket of fire would make the enemy confused and hopefully eventually slip up and be destroyed.
［North CAS Command Center]
The generals looked over a map of the area and more specifically the bases under attack. Two had been almost entirely wiped out and the other two were retreating. The renforcements sent were on their way but the attack made it necessary to speed the construction of bases stationary defenses and other building nessecary for any counter attack. The lines for now were mostly settled with 20% still seeking new territories. When these new territories were conquered a portion of units from the rear lines (the remainder to defend against orbital drop) Moved up to construct new bases. It was these bases that were under attack and now falling back. The entire thing was a headache for the generals as the forces were all sectored in different areas and more units had to be brought up in a reasonable amount of time.

in the minds of the terran commanders things had stabalized along the lines there where pockets of dence fire and resistance along the lines of the CAS retreat but those where slowly being delt with as other sections of the lines began digging in for the inevitable counterattack as what reinforcements they could get where being funnled into the needy sections... it was nothing to the storming of the Union but it was something

The space defence group has recently developed a plan to harass the spacecraft orbiting CAS.Numerous older, more damaged TINNs were reconfigured. These TINNs would be remote controlled. They could take off and land safely but were no match for an actuall real opponent. However, these TINNs could easily take ASAＴ　missiles up to space space and strike the ships overhead. It was a well known fact that these ships had relatively few lower defences (unless they were newer) since they were built to at least partially protect in the event of rentery.(If its not well just ignore that last part)　The missiles would be sent up where it was hoped that they would deter the orbiting ships from staying close to CAS space for any period of time.

the dammaged Triumphant had its sheilds raised efectivly protecting it from anything other than an all out attack Terran sheilding wasn't as indestructable as the Lightwave barrier employed by the twilight phoenix it was a damn sight more practacal and also significantly more efective than the system hacked together on the great white the only problem was the fact that it made auxilerly equipment ineffective it wasn't a design priority to be able to moniter surface action while engaged in space combat for now the triumphant would remain onstation as it made what repares it could

the sheilds would protect it unless of course the CAS did something radical but that wasn't considered likely

The convoy Pulled into the mainyard of the facility witch had all but shut down lending for those who where used to the constant noise and rumbling an erie silence to the place but the exitement of what was about to take place overshadowed the odd silence

Pyter, Mykal, and Sasha met the General as he steped from hes own truck the 3 of them bundled in there heavy coats against the snow and cold "Ivan Welcome" Pyter greated his old friend.

Mykal just nodded in greatings but Sasha embraced him "uncle its good to see you" he wasn't really her uncle but she had known him since she was a little girl so it was a term of endearment

"good to see you all" he turned and looked up at the sky "atleast the weather co-operates it will hinder any Terran satalites from spoting us but if they catch on and task a carrier to watch us we will have no hope. are we sure we want to do this? it is not to late to turn back you know"

"you doubt ivan?"

"Of course not. i beleive in what we are about to do. i beleive the world is ready for it. but are you ready to have the lives of theise men and the lives of others on your hands" he glanced at Sasha " and that of your daughter?"

"i am willing uncle" Sasha quickly responded it took pyter a moment longer haveing been taking aback by the question "I am willing... Our cause is just god will surly forgive us"

"Indeed" Ivan turned to face the now assembled troops the Fist of Red dawn the force behinde the will "comrads!" he intentionaly didn't referto them as soldiers there where comrads... brothers in arms... fighting for the good of mother russia "For the past week you have been endlesslt training for a special mission and passed all my expectations. I can now tell you the nature of your mission" he paused to let them speculate for a moment "Comrads. you will be going into battle against the greates threat the Republic and even the world has ever known. it chalenges the very tenants of Unity and Order" he heard someone mutter that it had to be the twilight phoenix "Comrads i speak of the republic its self! For almost 30 years Russia has suffered under the opression of the republic! Unity only through subservience! Order only through compliance! Leadership from a dictator who calls himself president all while suffering under the opresive strength of there all reaching iron grasp."

Japan - Progect Samurai Base

The base had been in an uproar since the order to make final preperations and launch when ready had come through from the president himself Other than the sealed orders in the Captains safe as well as that of the base commanders it was the last official order they would receave from atlantic command

everyone knew there was only one reason for launch and that was the immanent distruction of the alliance it was hardly a secret. there was technicaly a second reason wich was a united counterattack from all the remaining nations but no one was holding the breath for that anymore. the aliance was surounded the union had fallen and the last offical word was that europe was still devided but there where unconfermed reports that it had reunified and as for africa well no one was sure what was going on there any more

"Captain Tokigawa we show all systems green the moduals are ready for launch at your discretion"

"Begin the count down sequence commander" Captain Itami Tokigawa said over the comm the entire crew was straped in for launch the 6 pilots there suport crews the medical staff everyone

"Begining count down at t-10 minutes"

Gantrys and walk ways slowly began moving out of the way either retracting into the sides of the silo's or falling down to rest against the sides as the boosterswhent through there warm up cycles liquid O2 being sprayed on the vital components to prevent overheating before launch

"t-5 minutes"

"Open the Hatches"

"hatches opening" the massive doors sunck several meters into the earth before swingingoff to the sides and out of the way revealing the 3 moduals to the evening sunlight

"t-60 seconds!"

the Pilot lights fired up for the boosters readying for the influx of the propelent that would Launch the sections into space

"30 seconds."

"systems all green gantrys clear hatches fully open"

"20 seconds"

"safe journy captain"

"13... 12... 11... 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... We have lift off!"

The boosters fully ignighted the massive amounts of thrust driving the 3 moduals up out of there hidden bunkers stagering the launch to minimise the risk of collision the the sections rocketed through the air climbing ever higher the difrent stages firing at there assigned times to keep forcing it out of the earths gravitational pull the spent boosters breaking away to lighten the load as well as make room for the next stage

theship fialy stoped shuddering as it broke free of the atmosphear the final stages breaking away leaving it to its own thrusters to manuver into position for final assembly. the process was suposed to be automated but there was still a level of aprehension because if it failed the whole thing was doomed.

the next several minutes where more nerve wracking than the entire launch as thrusters fired manuvering the sections closer and closer bringing them into alignment. there where several loud echoing thumps as the locks clicked into place lights lighting up on one of the consoles on the bridge

"captain... we did it! we're in one peice!" a chear rang across the bridge

"begin monitering all communications networks lets find out whos up here and more important if anyone else is ready and willing to fight"

back on the serface more orders where being given... namley the order to evacuate the base personal effects where packed and the base was abandoned and an hour later the entire thing blew with a simultanious EMP to ensure all the data was fried as well as several explosions to destroy te facility its seld they where not gonig to let the technology developed ere fall in to republic hands the scientists involved where onboard the Dojo keeping them out of reach of the S.O.8 forces on earth

Captain Tokigawa when to her safe and entering the combonation opend it removing the sealed orders she sat at her desk and opened the sealed envalope and removed the encrypted datapad and pressed her thumb agains the scanner "identity confirmed Captain Itami Tokigawa message decoding"

To: Captain Itami Tokigawa
From: Atlantic command

your orders are simple using your own discretion the Dojo is to aid any resistance movements where it can maintaining its own safty as its first priority

These orders are to remain in effect untill such time as the Aliance alond with the rest of the world has been free'd from the grasp of the Terran Republic. we wish you the best of luck in this

Adam hobbled over to where Nelson and Jaron were standing. Laku preferred to stay in the back for now. She understood the purpose of all this, but it still didn't suit her.

"So, she had to break your knees to get you to come to your senses?" Nelson joked.

Adam shot him a dirty look. "Pff, I let her have that. You know I like to go easy on the cute ones."

"You can stop now, I'm not sure either you or her understand what you're trying to do anymore," Nelson sighed. "At least you're in quite a good mood! That must've helped, then."

"Yeah... you know, I saw her and Jacob just mow through people, and you... and I thought, 'Wow, I wish I was a beast like that,'" Adam mused. "If I was stronger, I could really make a difference over here. But then when I actually stared her down and tried to see what really made her tick, I realized that she was really missing something. That emotional core... that's a strength multiplier if there ever was one, and she's still coming to grips with that."

"And that says what about you, exactly?"

"The way I see it... I'm plenty strong. I wouldn't have gotten a custom suit or my position in the elites if I wasn't. It's this sick personality of mine... that bizarre outlook... that's what gives me an extra boost. And when I got wrapped up in being stronger, I started to lose that. I forgot to be me. And it hit me when I was trying to provoke her. I almost got her, because I stuck to my guns and messed with hers."

Nelson gave his friend a pat on the back. "That's good to hear, but you still have to know when to cut and run. She looked really pleased with herself when she landed that shot, and I bet she wanted more."

"I told you, I let her have that!" Nelson rolled his eyes. From the back of the room, Laku giggled. It was good to see Adam's spirit back.

Adam turned to Jaron. "Hey, sorry about earlier, I was a wreck and I shouldn't have taken it out on you." He held out his hand. "This war is just completely crazy, it's not like anything the world's ever seen. I shouldn't hold it against you if something like that happens... I'm sure it's playing out everywhere, and will happen again. All we can do is learn from this and be ready, right?"

From the bridge, Simms breathed a sigh of relief. "At least some good may come from this yet," he said. "And it'll be good for Jacob to clear his mind and focus on something less complicated for a change."

Morris closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "The calm before the storm, I suppose... what do you think the Iranians will do next? Also..." The updated map of the region showed plenty of movement. The remnants of the Union MS Corps had scrambled to shore south of the Georgian border and were now moving east. The border was crawling with Republic troops. A small detachment of Union suits appeared to be breaking off from the main formation to loop around the Terrans, or at least hold them. Were they going to try and pin them against the coast? That might explain Hall's turn north with the rest of the fleet...

I can now tell you the nature of your mission" he paused to let them speculate for a moment "Comrads. you will be going into battle against the greates threat the Republic and even the world has ever known. it chalenges the very tenants of Unity and Order" he heard someone mutter that it had to be the twilight phoenix "Comrads i speak of the republic its self! For almost 30 years Russia has suffered under the opression of the republic! Unity only through subservience! Order only through compliance! Leadership from a dictator who calls himself president all while suffering under the opresive strength of there all reaching iron grasp."

"Comrads! you will be the rust on that fist! You will bring Order through Freedom Unity from desier Leadership from example and god willing a strength of will that cannot be crushed. Comrads with the new dawn will come not only a new day but a new era"

Chaos and confusion broke out amongst the pilots as soon as the general finished his speech. Several pilots shouted at the general, confused and angry, while others bombarded him with questions demanding an explanation for his words. The select few pilots who found truth and power in the general’s words remained silent, fearful of what their more loyal friends might do to them.

Dmitri stood in place with his eyes enlarged and his mouth slightly open; he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He slowly turned his head to look at Alexei and saw that his face had the same expression on it. Still slightly dazed, Dmitri turned around to see what his other former squad mates thought of the whole situation. Philip was looking down to the floor shouting at himself about how stupid he was for not seeing through the plan earlier. Andrei and the twins were shouting in objection, throwing as many curse words as they could at the general. Boris, Nadia, and Lana stood in silence, and they looked more anxious than Dmitri had ever seen them. Alisa had her head down and was quietly praying.

Dmitri couldn’t take it anymore; he had to put an end to the madness. “EVERYONE, SHUT UP!” he shouted through the dozens of conversations. A second later everyone quieted down and turned to stare at Dmitri. Dmitri turned around and stared the general in the eyes.

“Sir, let me get this straight,” he began, speaking slowly and clearly, “are you suggesting that we betray the Republic, the thing that we’ve been fighting to protect and preserve all our lives?” His voice grew louder as he spoke. “Are you suggesting that we should rebel against the only thing that brings order, unity, and prosperity to this country?” He was now almost shouting at this point. “Are you suggesting that we become terrorists like the Twilight Phoenix, who bring only chaos and terror to the world that the Republic is trying to unify and protect?!”

The other pilots merely looked on, too afraid to say anything to either Dmitri or the general.

As soon as Jacob noticed Star beginning a swipe, he was sent down to the ground, and forced to regain his ground. He rolled back and was now a few feet away from Star. He heard her words about speed and knew this was something he would have to learn from. As soon as Jacob regained his footing, he awaited for whatever Star had in mind next. However, he had to see what he could do to get Star on her last legs. This time, he would begin to work his way to find a way to get behind her and try to hit her there. He made a punch towards her as more of a distraction and would either dodge or block what came next. The stick though was obviously still a problem... He would have to deal with it somehow. So how would he? He would wait for the moment Star used it next...

This was his chance... As soon as Star was finished speaking, he sent his right leg up to kick the broom stick out of Star's hand and into the crowd. Now, he would have more range to work with against Star. He pulled his fist back and rolled behind her. As soon as he was on his feet again, he sent his foot flying to hit her in the back. Wether he would be blocked or dodged, his next move would hopefully work...

Nelson sidestepped as the broomstick came flying in his direction. It clattered to the floor and a whoop went up from the onlookers. After all that preaching of hers, it was satisfying to see such a blunder. The self-induced distraction had been just long enough for Jacob to shift the balance in his favor. But he is still holding back... thought Nelson, And so is she.

"Man, he's starting to get into it!" said Adam, watching Jacob begin his maneuver. "He's got the right idea... like I said, it's all about the right attitude!"

"Seems like she's trying to help him adapt to her fighting style," said Nelson. "But that might only work to her advantage, so she's only been set back a bit by that attack..."

The Republic never did anything like that…” one pilot muttered to another. “Yeah, the Cairo and Paris incidents were terrorist attacks, weren’t they?” came a mumbled response.

Dmitri laughed. “I don’t know what news you’ve been hearing sir, but the attacks on the major cities were the work of the Twilight Phoenix; saying that the Republic did them is simply preposterous.” His voice turned grim. “Regarding the nuking of the cities of the Oceanic Alliance…it was for the best. They foolishly resisted the Republic and because of their unnecessary act of aggression many brave Republic soldiers were sacrificed. Think of how many lives we saved because of the nukes sir, attacking any of those cities would’ve been a nightmare.” He paused for a moment to carefully choose his words. “Sir, I can’t say that I know anything about what you went through when you were younger, but that’s all in the past. If everything that’s happened to this country and countless other countries has led to the formation and strengthening of the Republic, then I’d have to say that it’s all worth it. Our world can’t truly become perfect until it is united as one and under the protection of a supreme government, the Republic.” His voice became friendly. “You’ve lost your path general, you’ve lost sight of the peace and prosperity that the Republic will bring this planet once it accomplishes its goal of unification. You can stop all of this before it’s too late sir, you can turn back to the true path and we can forget any of this ever happened.”

"Now Holland you understand, we only have one shot at making this work, as we orbit the planet we will bring our selfs over Washington where you will use the high power GN sniper rifle to destroy the capital building" Talho said over the Communication line to Holland Novak inside the Dynames on the upper deck of the Red Pheonix, since they were shooting a stationary target they would use GPS coordinates to lock on to the target. He pulled down his scope and waited for the target to enter range "30 seconds Holland, now remember you have 5 seconds to make the shot" Mu told him "I know get off my back" he responded. As he followed the target across his screen, seconds later the 5 second window came up. He lined up his crosshairs with the coordinates "Locked on" he shouted, then for a split second part of the light wave barrier dropped as he pulled the trigger, the beam then left the shield and it closed again. It was late night in north america and if anything the only one killed by this would be the night caretaker, if he was even there.

the quiet evening was shatered by the beam of light streaking down throught he night sky the sownd of the tearing through the night air was quickly followed by the explosion of the old capital building the masonery rocketing outwards slaming into nearby buildings and crashing into the streets and parks smaller peices coming down up to a mile away.

Emergency vehicals scrambled the the sceen fire crews rushing to put out the fires ant poeice scrambles to find out who was all in the building to estamate casualtes as others checked the areas dammaged by the flying rubble

the Minnister of defence had been sleeping when his sucure phone rang waiking him "yes" he said grogaly not fully awake

"sir sorry to wake you but the old capital building has just been attacked"

the minister was instantly awake "what! How? who?"

"witnesses claim the attack came from orbit"

"Sucure the city and notify Sage at once!"

"already done"

well atleast something had gon right... he didn't look forward to explaining how this could have happened in the first place

Around the city Platoons of troops where rushed to key locations across the greater metorpoloten area and as soon as they where all in position the massive Light wave barrier light up sealing off the city the platoons stationed to guard the individual emiters with troops forming up outside the barrier...

it would take some masively insane millitary operation to breach it and with the troops patroling both inside and out and hidden operatives wouldn't beable to get close enough to even begin planing to take out any of the emiters not that it would help with the overlaping pateren

in the minds of the terran commanders things had stabalized along the lines there where pockets of dence fire and resistance along the lines of the CAS retreat but those where slowly being delt with as other sections of the lines began digging in for the inevitable counterattack as what reinforcements they could get where being funnled into the needy sections... it was nothing to the storming of the Union but it was something
With the lines fairly stabilized as a result of republic counter attacks. The CAS forces continued to dig in waiting for extra units to arrive and break the stalemate in several areas allowing for the further reclamation of CAS territory. Until th en the commanders could no nothing other than dig in to protect against counter attacks. The original forces were now spread out and distributed around the front. A counter attack now would be effective since reinforcements would have to be taken from the forces that are currently arriving. However, the commanders were not idle. They began to send up missiles containing leaflets. These leaflets would encourage partisan activity in occupied areas and hopefully would divert more republic forces to anti-partisan duties.
[A base in Congo]
(I think its time to get my pilot up to the front)
The 1 special mobile forces division arrived in the Congo with all their equiptment. It was hoped that these forces would help stem any counter attack and hopefully continue the advance into republic territory

the dammaged Triumphant had its sheilds raised efectivly protecting it from anything other than an all out attack Terran sheilding wasn't as indestructable as the Lightwave barrier employed by the twilight phoenix it was a damn sight more practacal and also significantly more efective than the system hacked together on the great white the only problem was the fact that it made auxilerly equipment ineffective it wasn't a design priority to be able to moniter surface action while engaged in space combat for now the triumphant would remain onstation as it made what repares it could

the sheilds would protect it unless of course the CAS did something radical but that wasn't considered likely

"as for the disemination of information amongst the millitary ranks well its disidedly on a need to know basis and the average soldier dosn't need to know that there comanding officers are ordering the to die to sait one mans lust for power."

"now let me show you what i know" the room darkened as the screen light up displaying a map of the earth centering over egypt a point lighting up "this is Cairo" a line apeared intercecting it with a blip moving along it "this is the flight path of the Omnipotence" he pointed to the moving dot till it came to rest over Cairo... he paused the display "Note the time and date" he resumed the display wich moved over to europe hilighting paris another line intersected it "paris and the flight path of the Heroic" he followed the line with his finger again pausing it as the 2 points met "again note the date and time"

The pilots whispered to each other excitedly as they viewed the images on the screen, and the occasional “No way” and “This has to be fake” could be heard. Dmitri looked on, unimpressed with that the general had shown.

"can see your questioning the authentisity of this information well let me eliminate any doubt" he pulled out his personal military isure lap top conection it to the screen quickly entering his pascode to acess the sicure folders and ther his authentication to validate his acessing of classified documents pulling up several orders that had been isued directly by sage for no aparent reasonw then to simply demonstrate the power of the republic "the republic could have eazly taken Melborne Sydny and Canberra with the amount of troops in theater it would have been over in a day also alowing the capture of government officials. instead they launched nuclear weapons killing millions and contamination a large area for the next 50 years simply because the could"

"they attacked cairo and paris simply because it would be a show of force designed solely for intimidation and helsinki.... don't get me started on that"

The evidence on the laptop had a more profound effect on the pilots than the images shown on screen. With the proof right in front of them, it was hard for them to doubt the authenticity of the images as well. Whispers slowly became audible and eventually turned into shouts of outrage. People who had previously doubted everything the general had said now believed every word that came out of his mouth. Those who had cursed and insulted the general now cried out for vengeance for the innocents needlessly killed by the Republic. While many called out for revolt and rebellion, there were still a few who remained either skeptical or zealously loyal. Dmitri was the latter.

“Oh please,” he said loudly enough so that everyone could hear him, “you all aren’t going to believe this, are you? This information is obviously false, the Republic would never do atrocious things like this just for the hell of it!”

He turned towards the general. “Sir, I don’t know where you got this information from but you must not believe any of it. It’s obviously brainwashed you into thinking that the Republic has done all of this and has caused you to start this crazy revolution. It’s imperative that you destroy it or hand it to the Republic immediately, who knows what kind of damage it could cause if it was released. General, you have to come to your senses and forget about this whole thing, I’m sure if you explain this whole situation to your superiors the repercussions will be mild at worst.”

With the lines fairly stabilized as a result of republic counter attacks. The CAS forces continued to dig in waiting for extra units to arrive and break the stalemate in several areas allowing for the further reclamation of CAS territory. Until th en the commanders could no nothing other than dig in to protect against counter attacks. The original forces were now spread out and distributed around the front. A counter attack now would be effective since reinforcements would have to be taken from the forces that are currently arriving. However, the commanders were not idle. They began to send up missiles containing leaflets. These leaflets would encourage partisan activity in occupied areas and hopefully would divert more republic forces to anti-partisan duties.

The 1 special mobile forces division arrived in the Congo with all their equiptment. It was hoped that these forces would help stem any counter attack and hopefully continue the advance into republic territory

his lack of reaction was starting to get to her again that and the fact that he had actualy managed to land a hit was straining what little controle there was on her temper

she took a ouple of steps forwards and colapsed feigning a ore sivear injery than she haD actualy sustained. soe of the gathered people chared because jaco had aparently taken her down but some showed sypathy and she waited just long enough for ther sentament to spread before launching herself at jacob again

she charged coming in low alost like a football tackle she feinted right switching left at the last instant blowing past him sending her fist flying right at his kidneys. she might like him but a fight was a fight and she had never been taught how to play fare anything for the win was what she had been aught... nomater the cost. it wasn't uncoon for the looser to spend a week in the hospital wing after a training match but no one had smpathy if he lost he obviously didn't try hard enough

As soon as Star came up, Jacob took a few steps forward while several people outside the ring came in. To their surprise though, she charged at Jacob, football tackle style. Jacob was brought under Star's threatening pounce with her on top of him. She was now struggling to damage him further, but Jacob had something different planned... He pecked a kiss on her left cheek and used the unanticipation to his advantage. He rolled Star over and wrapped his arm around her waist. He had both of her hands grasped and told her, "I don't think it is a good idea to push yourself this much further Star..."

that single peck on the cheak had more effect then anyone could have anticipated even jacob. opening her self up emotionaly was one thind but a public display of affection was compleatly diffrent and something she had never experienced the last person to try and hit on her was dead and before that a broken nose was the guys only memmory of the encounter but the thing that got to her even more was the sincerity of jacobs statememnt that she was pushing herself to hard

"no" she said fighting back every emotion known to man "No! it wasn't hard enough! i lost! i wasn't trying hard enough if i lost! i can't loose! i never loose! you die if you loose! i have to try harder! move faster! i have to win! winning is everything! i'm the best! i always win! Always!"

it was hard to tell if she was yelling cause she was angry at jacob or angry at her self for loosing but either way it was true she hadn't lost a fight since the first year at the Sage Acadamy. she had latched on the the better than everyone mentality stronger than anyone and every criticesem just fuled her desire to be the best at everything. other than the absence of loyalty to the republic she came the closest to what the republic had inmind when they started the Beta training program

The crowd seemed somewhat pleased with Jacob's victory over Star, but Jacob wasn't celebrating that much at the moment. Star was struggling to break free of Jacob's grip, and she wasn't showing signs of calming down. Jacob turned Star around and grasped her shoulders. He told her, "Star! You aren't in an Academy Training Session! You've no need to be so hard on yourelf!"

"no, no, no, always try harder. your oponents not going to stop so neither should you. everything's a test." it was true she wasn't in an academy training session but the indoctrination from those sessions was in full force. jacobs comment about not beiing in one of those sessions had helped considering she wasn't yelling any more but she still firmly beleived everything she said

Dmitri read over the information several times to make sure he didn’t misread anything, but everything on the screen seemed to confirm the Republic’s guilt. Even though the proof was staring him straight in the face, Dmitri refused to give in. He had remained loyal to the Republic ever since the military academy took him in after his parents passed away, and he wasn’t going to let some data on a projected screen destroy his trust in what had become his family.

“Lies, these are all filthy lies!” Dmitri yelled out violently, “You can’t fool me general, the Republic would never do things like this!” He paused a few seconds to catch his breath and calm himself down, “And even if it did commit these acts, it would most definitely be for the greater good; to further the causes of peace, order, and unity.”

By this time, Dmitri was the only person in the room who doubted the authenticity of the proof that the general was presenting. Alexei, along with several others, had been listening to the general’s presentation with skepticism, but this last bit of information taken directly from the Terran network had finally convinced them.

“Dmitri, listen to yourself!” Alexei said, trying to talk some sense into his friend, “The general’s words are obviously true, just look at the proof sitting right in front of you!”

“Alexei, even you’ve been brainwashed by these lies?” Dmitri asked, taken aback. He looked at the rest of his friends. “Do you all believe this too?” One by one each of them slowly nodded their head while trying to avoid eye contact. “Amazing!” Dmitri shouted angrily, “Simply amazing! I thought I could trust you all, but apparently I was mistaken!”

“Hey general!” shouted a Sickle pilot from the back of the room, “Since he isn’t going to follow the program, why don’t we just off him and get on with this revolution?”

“No way!” shouted another pilot, “Dmitri’s the best pilot we’ve got, so we should just lock him up until he finally sees things our way.”

“What’d you say?!” Dmitri shouted furiously. Boris and Nadia held him down to prevent him from running over to the two pilots and ripping them into pieces. Tempers were quickly flaring, and if something was done soon a brawl would be inevitable.

Great White

Mervin and Tom sat back and tried to make sense out of the messages they were sucking off of the Terran satellite network. Apparently they'd finally realized the keys stolen from Diego Garcia were being used against them, so an entirely new encryption scheme was in place. There were still only a few lines still operating under the old protocols, and it would only be a matter of time before those disappeared, too.

"See anything good that we can use?" asked Mervin.

"Not really..." he sighed. "These messages appear to be originating from backwater areas, otherwise they'd have probably switched over by now. Nothing by supply movements through secure areas, exercises, that sort of thing."

"Damn, bad moment to get found out," muttered Mervin. "Our onboard sensors aren't good enough... they don't see enough of the world. We really need those satellites."

"Yeah, and it'll be tough if they're... wait, what?" Tom stopped as he thumbed over a terse message. He'd nearly missed it. "The old Capitol building was attacked!"

"What, in Washington?"

"Night-time raid. This is a memo going out to base commanders, warning them that someone in space has long-range capability."

"Well wait, what good does that do, then?" asked Mervin. "There were much better targets, and they wasted it on that old thing... and now that they've announced themselves, they'll have the entire Republic fleet chasing them!"

"They must've been looking to strike a symbolic blow, hit at the people more than the government," mused Tom. "Show them that the Republic isn't impregnable after all, and they're in as much danger as the rest of us."

"Even so, it's still way too early for that kind of move," said Mervin. "The rebellious elements within the Republic itself are few and far between... they'll have no influence over how this gets used. The Republic can spin it any way it wants. They can harden their people against the rest of us even more. The Terrans aren't under any stress, aren't suffering... they might even see this as a cowardly act."

"Geez, all you ever see when stuff like this happens is the dark side of the force," sighed Tom. "The million dollar question here is who's responsible, and how can we get them to coordinate with the rest of us?"

Northeast Turkey - Union Successor Army

"Do we have an accurate count of the Republic force on the border? They seem to be buying our move, but for how long?" The Union army was forming a crescent with its mobile suits, with the extreme right flank taking up positions along the Arpa River on the Georgia/Turkey border. The bulk of the army, in the center, was approaching the Arpa farther south along the Armenian border.

"Nineteen and twenty three legions are supposed to be coverning the north bend, yes? We could add more units to make it look more convincing." Indeed, it didn't look to be a very threatening formation. The flanks were lightly manned, but a careless advance by the Terrans could result in their being surrounded.

"All we need is an hour or two lead. We've got that. The units farthest south can make a run at any time. We can probably drop sixteen and seventeen if needed, but the main column cannot afford to stall." The main column, the central bulge of the arc, was poised to flee into Armenia and continue south towards Iran and the Great White. This meant that the flanks would become the rearguard.

"Damn... if only we had Simms with us... he pulled this move off at Dampier." The defense of the west... that stirred up memories. Simms had fought hard against the initial rush of Terran forces. The sudden arrival of a second landing force ruined his envelopment, taking away the chance to destroy the main invasion column right off the bat. The battles which followed, down the entire western frontier, saw every new tactic squashed by the neverending horde of Terran mobile suits.

"That's precisely why we're doing it this way. Surely they'll be more cautious and not risk moving into a pocket again... they'll never guess we're buying time for the center to escape." Of course, they had no idea that the Republic knew exactly where they could find the intrepid former colonel, and were unlikely to figure this to be his doing.

Black Sea - Union Successor Fleet

Hall kept his eye on the radar. The ships cut north and past the end of Georgian waters. Sochi was looming ahead. It was the first step to showing the Russians that revolt was possible. The Scandinavians and Europeans would do their part in time. For now, the south was his theatre. Separated from Moscow by thousands of miles and a major mountain range, the south was a potentially volatile region. If the Terran naval garrison could be defeated, then it might create an opening. If they survived to continue onto the Crimea, even better.

"I'm sure we won't be able to avoid collateral damage," Hall said, "but most of the targets should be clear. We will strafe the harbors and sink whatever we can. Destroy coastal guns, hit military facilities... do anything that will get the Terrans off the Russians' backs! Always move forward, always keep firing. And if we all go down here, 'they' will still be able to strike one last blow from beyond the grave..." A huzzah from the crew. This is what they'd come here to do...

It was then Jacob realized he saw a similarity to himself in Star. They both wanted to achieve their missions for the sake of their goals, be they the Republic from before, or the Resistance they were now part of.

"Not really..." he sighed. "These messages appear to be originating from backwater areas, otherwise they'd have probably switched over by now. Nothing by supply movements through secure areas, exercises, that sort of thing."

"Damn, bad moment to get found out," muttered Mervin. "Our onboard sensors aren't good enough... they don't see enough of the world. We really need those satellites."

"Yeah, and it'll be tough if they're... wait, what?" Tom stopped as he thumbed over a terse message. He'd nearly missed it. "The old Capitol building was attacked!"

"What, in Washington?"

"Night-time raid. This is a memo going out to base commanders, warning them that someone in space has long-range capability."

"Well wait, what good does that do, then?" asked Mervin. "There were much better targets, and they wasted it on that old thing... and now that they've announced themselves, they'll have the entire Republic fleet chasing them!"

"They must've been looking to strike a symbolic blow, hit at the people more than the government," mused Tom. "Show them that the Republic isn't impregnable after all, and they're in as much danger as the rest of us."

"Even so, it's still way too early for that kind of move," said Mervin. "The rebellious elements within the Republic itself are few and far between... they'll have no influence over how this gets used. The Republic can spin it any way it wants. They can harden their people against the rest of us even more. The Terrans aren't under any stress, aren't suffering... they might even see this as a cowardly act."

"Geez, all you ever see when stuff like this happens is the dark side of the force," sighed Tom. "The million dollar question here is who's responsible, and how can we get them to coordinate with the rest of us?"

Terran press release

late evening local time the old US capitol building was distroyed by a cowerdly attack from space. even as the reslease is broadcast our fleats are converging on the location from where this was fired and from there additional plans will be made

how dare they attack our proud heratage from the anonimity of space distroying a almost 400 year old land mark. they seek to distabalize us from within but the only galvanize our resolve against them

they continue there tactics of intimidation thinking to bring us down through fear of an other attack. but the blood of innocents is on there hands includeing the 300 people who where at the capital building for a charity event, but in the end the strength of our unity and the order of our leadership will win out as the resistance elements are brought to task

Northeast Turkey - Union Successor Army

"Do we have an accurate count of the Republic force on the border? They seem to be buying our move, but for how long?" The Union army was forming a crescent with its mobile suits, with the extreme right flank taking up positions along the Arpa River on the Georgia/Turkey border. The bulk of the army, in the center, was approaching the Arpa farther south along the Armenian border.

"Nineteen and twenty three legions are supposed to be coverning the north bend, yes? We could add more units to make it look more convincing." Indeed, it didn't look to be a very threatening formation. The flanks were lightly manned, but a careless advance by the Terrans could result in their being surrounded.

"All we need is an hour or two lead. We've got that. The units farthest south can make a run at any time. We can probably drop sixteen and seventeen if needed, but the main column cannot afford to stall." The main column, the central bulge of the arc, was poised to flee into Armenia and continue south towards Iran and the Great White. This meant that the flanks would become the rearguard.

"Damn... if only we had Simms with us... he pulled this move off at Dampier." The defense of the west... that stirred up memories. Simms had fought hard against the initial rush of Terran forces. The sudden arrival of a second landing force ruined his envelopment, taking away the chance to destroy the main invasion column right off the bat. The battles which followed, down the entire western frontier, saw every new tactic squashed by the neverending horde of Terran mobile suits.

"That's precisely why we're doing it this way. Surely they'll be more cautious and not risk moving into a pocket again... they'll never guess we're buying time for the center to escape." Of course, they had no idea that the Republic knew exactly where they could find the intrepid former colonel, and were unlikely to figure this to be his doing.

"anything?"

"no it looks like there trying the same tactics they tried in australia"

"will they never learn. what the status of the turkish forces?"

"just waiting for the final order" turkish forces and been ordered to make quiet preperations and to be ready to move at a moments notace to add what they could to the coming battle

"let them continue manuvering. shift what turkish troops you can with out drawing to much attention try and get everything into position. General Yevensky is suposed to be bringing his Eleit squads down we'll move when we get his order"

Black Sea - Union Successor Fleet

Hall kept his eye on the radar. The ships cut north and past the end of Georgian waters. Sochi was looming ahead. It was the first step to showing the Russians that revolt was possible. The Scandinavians and Europeans would do their part in time. For now, the south was his theatre. Separated from Moscow by thousands of miles and a major mountain range, the south was a potentially volatile region. If the Terran naval garrison could be defeated, then it might create an opening. If they survived to continue onto the Crimea, even better.

"I'm sure we won't be able to avoid collateral damage," Hall said, "but most of the targets should be clear. We will strafe the harbors and sink whatever we can. Destroy coastal guns, hit military facilities... do anything that will get the Terrans off the Russians' backs! Always move forward, always keep firing. And if we all go down here, 'they' will still be able to strike one last blow from beyond the grave..." A huzzah from the crew. This is what they'd come here to do...

Jacob told her, "You're carrying guilt Star. If you don't sort these things out with yourself, you'll not only continue feeling as detached as you are now, but you won't even be able to successfully carry out the missions your given if you tried..." He allowed Star to think over that phrase and then told her, "Jaron and I have been looking for you. Did you want to tell him something?"

Guilt?

was that even posable for someone like star? and guilt over what?

her train of thought was broken by jacobs next coment and in the split second that followed it her eyes narrowed her fists clenched and her leg swung out knocking Jacobs legs out from under him as she leaned towards him adding her weight to his fall slamming him into the ground

"never let your guard down" she growled at him her face inches from his

She pushed herself off of him and stormed out of the gym rudly shoving past anyone who got in her way and if jacob or anyne for that matter had something to say she wasn't listening any more

who was he to tell her what to do and when. if she was going to talk to jaron it would be on her own terms not someone else's. how could he still be so dence she though he had finaly understoudhow could he be so.... so.... right?

if anyone could even hear it they would have heard her tears rolling off her face and hit the floor as she stormed down the hallways to her quarters

Arpa River, Turkey/Armenia Border - Union Successor Army

The first lines of Union mobile suits were now making the crossing. A pontoon bridge had been hastily assembled to allow vehicles to rumble across. They would immediately speed to the southeast, making a beeline for the Iranian border. The mobile suits would hold for a few hours and then follow, once the Terran movements were confirmed. They couldn't show their hand too early, but the formation was becoming clearer by the minute.

"Nineteen, twenty-three, and sixteen are covering the right side, the north Arpa near Georgia. They're in a position to skirmish at any time. We only have thirty three and thirty six committed to rearguard on the left right now, and they're a ways inside Turkey... they'll have to follow separately, they're lagging too far back to guard the approach into Armenia."

Great White

"Captain!!" Gimbley was having a hard time believing what he saw on his scope, but the IFFs were there. Simms turned his attention from his captain's seat. "We've got a problem... it's the Successor Army. It's turning inland and making a break for us."

"How many Republic suits are in pursuit?" Simms asked.

"Still unknown, our scope isn't clear enough. Ours just showed up near the Armenian border, and I can imagine the Terrans are behind them," Gimbley replied. "They're needing to divert a good number of suits just to cover their march... they're forming up lines on the Arpa to check the pursuit."

"And what about Turkey?"

"Did they even have anything there?"

"Damn, they might not be able to get even half of their force here if we don't do something..." Simms muttered. "It's a few hours to fly there, but we'd have to leave immediately, and it still might be too late."

"We can at least try, can't we?" asked Morris. "We can cover what gets through. We can't let them all get buried."

"You're right. We can't just sit around and wait for Tehran," Simms agreed. "Besides, this might be a good chance to prove our intentions to them." Morris scowled as Simms grabbed a handset. "Attention all hands. I know it hasn't been long since our last engagement, but allied forces in the region require immediate assistance. Mobile suits from our country's armed forces were landed in northern Turkey and are attempting to rendezvous with us. They are threatened by a superior Terran force approaching from the north. In order to maintain a viable force for actions in the Black Sea theatre, we have no choice but to scramble in their support. We anticipate reaching the battlefield in five to six hours; all personnel should prepare accordingly!" I wonder what the 'others' will think of this...

"Sir, it appears like Kerch is going to move in Sochi's support."

Hall turned to the operator and checked the map with curiosity. "The silent third base, eh?" It was easy for it to get lost among Sochi and the Crimea. "They won't make it in time... we'll probably meet them during the turn west. Assuming we get there." He smiled. "First thing's first."

The ships were forming into lines. Target coordinates were flying through the air as ships took aim. Terran ships, drydocks, powder magazines, and communications centers were high on the list of targets. But they had to leave as much of the harbors intact as possible so the Russians could make use of them later. He issued orders to all the ships in the line, which was now stretching for miles. "Gentlemen, you will shoot what you pass by if it hasn't been hit yet. You may fire when ready!!"

“Princess and the Bear? Baba Yaga?” asked Dmitri, confused, “I have no idea what you’re talking about sir, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what we’re discussing now.” His voice turned cold. “I also resent your comment about me being blinded by my upbringing.

"I was hoping it wouldn't come to that..." he sighed. "Since that's what we've been doing, and it hasn't worked out."

The loudspeaker buzzed and the room went silent as Simms' order was piped through. They had a chance to link up with a substantial fighting force that could be trusted... only problem was they were about to get rundown by a larger Terran force. The Gundams could tip the odds and preserve them, giving them something to work with if Iran proved unreliable...

"Damn... that hardly gives us any time to rest!" Laku said. "And they still need to fix your unit's arm."

"Hey, four hours of sleep is a luxury in this business, and I bet Mervin's got a plan for times like these," Adam said. "What I'm worried about is that Terran pursuit... how many of our guys can they catch before we get there? Hopefully we got enough of a jump to keep clear, but there will have to be a battle eventually."

Star heard the page over the PA system and was in the process of reflexivly responding to order to prep for contact when she forced herself to stop.

what was she doing? part of her had the sudden thought that she could join the fight on the side of the union and slaughter the terran forces or switch sides again and decimate the remaining union forces and maybe win back into the republic but what about jacob? he would never go for it and she could never leave him so she was stuck with the union.

even if she did go back it would be strait into a mock trial for treason and quite likely an exicution the fact that she was a beta made that all the more likely cause the wouldn't be able to trust her again and someone with asmuch knolage wouldn't be alowed to escape again so going back was definatly out of the question.

so what was she to do? she was a fighter but it wasn't her fight victor was dead so there wasn't even the off chance that she would run into him there was nothing left to fight.

it was just over an hour since here last battle be it had left her unfulfilled that was what she had been trying to do when the otheres had walked in it had started as simple training getting used to how she would fight with her new mini beam saber and with the addition of adrenaline it was turning into a slugfest to try and fill that void but jacob and adam had stoped that.

things had been going so well untill jacob had basicaly ordered her to talk to jaron and that she couldn't handle part wanted to talk to jaron part didn't and they where both screaming to be heard but either way that talk would only happen on her terms not because someone told her to. god how could he be so dence she asked herself as she crawled into her bunk to wallow in her self pitty

The comment about his parents let loose feelings Dmitri hadn’t felt in years. Overwhelming anger and sadness swept through him, and it felt like he had just been emotionally exposed. “Don’t you EVER talk about my parents!” he shouted furiously, “You talk like you know everything, but you don’t know jack shit! You don’t know my parents, and you sure as hell don’t know ME!”

Dmitri glared intensely at the general with a fury that had been stored inside him for years. While he began to feel a slight pang of regret for speaking to the general in such a blatantly disrespectful manner, he couldn’t bring himself to apologize. All he could think about was that fateful evening he had come home from school; that dreadful moment when he opened the front door only to see his parents lying on the floor, soaking in pools of their own blood…

“Hey, take it easy man,” said Alexei as he placed his hand on Dmitri’s shoulder. Dmitri flinched violently at the touch and forcefully shoved Alexei away. “Don’t touch me!” Alexei stepped back, surprised at his friend’s reaction.

Dmitri turned back to the general, calmer than before but still emotionally shaken. “My parents…” he began, carefully choosing his words, “You can’t possibly explain how my parents died. The police never found out…after months of investigations they still never found out who killed them. How could you know anything about it?”

Explosions sent water and shrapnel flying into the air as the first round of torpedoes struck the line. Hall turned to his computer operators. This wasn't outside the scope of his plans; Leatherbacks were in the water. It wasn't like they were making a big secret of their position, either, so active sonar wouldn't hurt. The Leatherback suits got a good picture of their opponents, a line of subs arrayed parallel to the cost. Good alignment, that allowed them to more effectively rake the Union ships. But they were dead in the water against mobile suits, which now appeared from beneath the subs, tearing at their hulls with torpedo strikes.

Several ships on the surface were now listing heavily to one side or the other. A few were still able to get off shots, but their accuracy suffered. Many shots splashed short of the intended targets. The occasional wild round hit a warehouse on the shore which may or may not have been military. Men who were forced overboard were hastily swimming towards the oncoming ships in the line hoping to be picked up.

"Those subs will be out in a few minutes, and the Kerch fleet is in a line ahead of us," reported an aide.

"That's fine," Hall said. "We have more mobile suits under water than they have ships in the area. All but the front should disregard them. Take out those drydocks!"

Explosions sent water and shrapnel flying into the air as the first round of torpedoes struck the line. Hall turned to his computer operators. This wasn't outside the scope of his plans; Leatherbacks were in the water. It wasn't like they were making a big secret of their position, either, so active sonar wouldn't hurt. The Leatherback suits got a good picture of their opponents, a line of subs arrayed parallel to the cost. Good alignment, that allowed them to more effectively rake the Union ships. But they were dead in the water against mobile suits, which now appeared from beneath the subs, tearing at their hulls with torpedo strikes.

Several ships on the surface were now listing heavily to one side or the other. A few were still able to get off shots, but their accuracy suffered. Many shots splashed short of the intended targets. The occasional wild round hit a warehouse on the shore which may or may not have been military. Men who were forced overboard were hastily swimming towards the oncoming ships in the line hoping to be picked up.

"Those subs will be out in a few minutes, and then we should have a free hand for an hour or two until the Kerch fleet arrives," reported an aide.

"That will be plenty," Hall said. "There's still plenty of space to maneuver, and those drydocks are appetizing targets..."

((ooc: i think you missed my mention that the fleat moved out of the harbour and was fireing at the sucessor fleat

and the same time the order went out to the waiting naval vessals wich steamed out of the harbour and opened fire as soon as a terget was in range missiles shells and torpedoes where all flying towards the fleat as the Kerch forces moved out to intercept or to pick up where sochi left off as odessa readyed its own forces

Star heard the page over the PA system and was in the process of reflexivly responding to order to prep for contact when she forced herself to stop.

what was she doing? part of her had the sudden thought that she could join the fight on the side of the union and slaughter the terran forces or switch sides again and decimate the remaining union forces and maybe win back into the republic but what about jacob? he would never go for it and she could never leave him so she was stuck with the union.

even if she did go back it would be strait into a mock trial for treason and quite likely an exicution the fact that she was a beta made that all the more likely cause the wouldn't be able to trust her again and someone with asmuch knolage wouldn't be alowed to escape again so going back was definatly out of the question.

so what was she to do? she was a fighter but it wasn't her fight victor was dead so there wasn't even the off chance that she would run into him there was nothing left to fight.

it was just over an hour since here last battle be it had left her unfulfilled that was what she had been trying to do when the otheres had walked in it had started as simple training getting used to how she would fight with her new mini beam saber and with the addition of adrenaline it was turning into a slugfest to try and fill that void but jacob and adam had stoped that.

things had been going so well untill jacob had basicaly ordered her to talk to jaron and that she couldn't handle part wanted to talk to jaron part didn't and they where both screaming to be heard but either way that talk would only happen on her terms not because someone told her to. god how could he be so dence she asked herself as she crawled into her bunk to wallow in her self pitty

This was the last thing Jacob needed... He had intentions of settling things with Star and Jaron, but instead seemed to distance himself from Star. After revealing her emotions to him, she must have been having issues dealing with them. Guilt was clearly a new thing to her, especially seeing that killing Jaron's brother didn't bring total satisfaction. What was he able to do now? It seemed Star now had problems with him, and there was another battle about to progress... It seemed like nothing could be done but get some rest before the battle. Hopefully, he would be able to regain some trust from his friends and learn something to help Star. He sat on his bed and rested his eyes waiting for the next few hours to pass. He would need it for the battle, especially after his fight with Star...

(OOC: Oh, I didn't see that they'd started earlier. Original post has been edited accordingly.)

The Kerch fleet was approaching from the front, pouring additional fire into the head of Hall's column. This presented a serious obstacle to advancement. Water and submarine parts were already flying off to the side as the Leatherbacks did their dirty work. Now, the Successor Fleet's leading ships began exchanging fire with their harassers. Every now and then, a hit would be scored. Since the two were facing each other head-on, it was harder to score hits.

One of the Kerch ships groaned and tilted to the side as an explosion ripped a hole in the hull. The Leatherbacks had moved on to new prey.

Shells crashed on shore and Terran ships were hit where they sat. Cranes servicing the drydocks were hit and sent crashing onto personnel below scrambling to get to their stations. Warehouses for military equipment went up on flames as explosive ordnance hit home. Slowly but surely, the Terran military force in Sochi was being reduced. That's all we need... relieve the pressure on this region, make it easier for the people to stand... Hall thought.

Hollands home town

Holland was walking home from school, it was summer, last day of grade six. He was running eger to show his parents his report card, as he ran smoke filled the air. Holland didn't notice it untill he turned the corner to see the street blocked off and fire trucks every where. He saw his sister and ran over "Sis why are the fire trucks here?" he asked "It's our house Holland, its on fire" she told him. There grandfather then walked over to the two of them "But what about mom and dad? where are they?" he then asked "I'm sorry Holland, Diane, I just spoke with one of the fire fighters, your parents were found dead in the kitchen" he told them bluntly. Both of them began to break down and cry.

Reality

Holland woke up from his dream state "Damnit that dream again" He said looked over to a picture of his parents he had on a desk near by, he always had that picture with him "Mom, Dad, I will avenge you both, Diane will make sure that I do" he then put his head back on the pillow and tried to get back to sleep.

There was a more concerted effort from the shore to repel them now. The Leatherbacks were the power in the water sure enough, but the surface fleet was on its own against the advancing ground and air troupe. CIWS turrets roared into action. They were good for taking out missiles and the occasional aerial mobile suit, but shot and shell got through easily. Hulls were getting shot up quickly; guns went out of action. Glass shattered as bridges were torn apart while gunners continued to fire at the shore, unaware that their commanders were gone.

Hall had gambled when he sent the Union's air wings with the ground forces. He'd hoped that the Terrans would mobilize more ground and air forces to deal with them instead of his line of ships. Their survival rate had just taken a dip. Not that it had been high to begin with.

The shoreline was still a mess by now. Ships were straying from the line once their objectives were accomplished or they ran out of big shells. A few attempted to turn towards land, so that they would either sink near docks or run aground somewhere important. Terran sea traffic in this sector would halt, damn it!

Hall's ship rocked from the explosion of a nearby vessel, which sent waves rippling outward violently. "Stay the course!" he ordered. "The Terran radar tower at three o'clock, get a firing solution and take it out!" The 18's roared and a salvo was on its way. A third of the fleet was gone and more ships were going down as more and more Terran mobile suits joined the battlefield.

Cynthia lay in her bunk quietly and gazed at the ceiling. So far so good, she'd managed to stay alive. She found others from the Union and they chatted occasionally, but she'd met people from all over the world. She had also taken notice of the constant testing going on, and most of it was subtle, indeed.

She met plenty of people who disappeared for no reason a few days after complaining about the "incessant, impossible testing." They'd seemingly not performed well, and had been relocated to another facility. At least, that was what they were told. Far more likely they'd been eliminated for being useless. Cynthia made sure that her performance was enough to keep them interested, but not enough to set her apart.

I wonder what they'll make me do tomorrow... she thought. I failed today, off by two, was it? So I should try to be right tomorrow, but think for a little longer. I wonder how long it'll take them to figure me out; they're sharp, after all. Especially that Benjamin, he's about impossible to read. God... I hope you're doing better than I am, Cornell...

Great White

The mountain scenery was slowly giving way to flatter terrain. It would be late in the day by the time they met up with the land and air force, which was now withdrawing at full speed through Armenia, the Arpa having been crossed successfully. Simms now had to think of a different plan of action. There would not likely be any immediate fighting, and given their presence with the main force, the Terran plan was also likely to change. It was no doubt known by now what the ship and its Gundams could do, so they might opt to bring in new forces or redistribute what they had. On the other hand, if he acted faster, might the allies become the attackers instead?

"I know what you're thinking, sir," said Morris, relaxing at his seat with arms behind his head. "Once we link up, we'll be able to put the Terrans between us and the sea, and we can strike before they can account for our arrival. If we're going to do that, though, we might want to contact whoever's in charge of the Successor Army and let them know where they should be. It would be a real pain to take them back the same way they came."

"I'm not convinced that's our best option, though," Simms replied. "We still face the threat of being sandwiched between southern Russia and the Arabian peninsula. I'd rather not throw myself against their army in Georgia just yet, especially since they don't seem to want to give battle now. If they were stronger, they would have given chase. I think we should work around them for now."

"If we had support from Iran, it would be easier to commit, right?" asked Morris. "You said Fespute and Gregors were taking care of that?"

"And the prince probably chipped in, too, if he was free," said Simms. "Yes, if the Army of Islam was in, then the course would be clearer." He had decided that it would be unwise to head back into Iranian territory unless they got a response favorable from their message, given the original's language and the known nature of the Army. He was treating it as a barrier in his current plans, which left them - and the Terrans - with very little wiggle room. Maneuver would be important here, not necessarily strength.

"And what of Hall and the Europeans?" Morris continued. "Do they play a role in your planning?"

"In the best case..." Simms began, thinking it through. He knew exactly what he wanted to happen. "The way I see it is this. The Terrans are redirecting most of their force in Asia and Oceania here, but keeping some to deal with southeast Asia. By that reckoning, Europe cannot really afford to spend anymore time just building up its arsenal. If they wait any longer, the Terrans will concentrate overwhelming force, and the combined allied position will be untenable. We launched our operations early in this region, so it's our duty to cause as much trouble as possible to aid their initial push.

"If Hall does his job, and Iran were to join us, then what follows is this. This region is unstable as it is, so we might be able to cause some panic in Moscow if we push north. And once we cross the Caucasus mountains, we directly affect a major local component their resource mining effort."

"You're counting on the locals to give us some help, I assume," Morris cut in. "The Chechnyans, the Ossetians... this might do more harm than good, since we would not be able to occupy territory we pass through. They'll just get mowed down if we're pursued from behind."

"That's where the Iranians come in," Simms said. "They will be comfortable fighting the Terrans in Turkey and the middle east. That'll tie them down, preventing any attack on our rear."

"You can't seriously trust them to fight in that region unchecked..." Morris gasped. "They'll fight fiercely, yes, but what happens when the Terrans are gone? Who will protect the people who don't subscribe to their brand of Islam?"

Simms was silent. He knew that his plan doomed more people than just Terran soldiers, but... he continued his vision without pausing to address the issue. He didn't have an answer and doubted that anyone did. "If Hall can sufficiently throttle Terran sea traffic in the Black Sea, then crossing it will entail flying over, which reduces the amount of material they can move as well as the cost. That means that the middle east and southern Russia virtually become two separate fronts. Moving troops and machines around through the Balkans is expensive and time-consuming. That way, it's harder for them to achieve critical mass against either of us."

Morris was content to let the Iran issue drop for the moment. This was, after all, completely hypothetical. There was no way this could all actually come together and happen, right? Too many unanswered questions, too many wild cards... but still, it was an interesting plan. "So once we've all set off this incredible mess down here..."

"Then the rest of the allies are given a window to strike," Simms finished. "The Terrans will have so many fronts to cover that it will take some time before they're fully organized. Scandinavia strikes from the north, threatening Moscow and St. Petersburg. Europe strikes the center, threatening the Ukraine and its resources - food, human, and mineral. But for this to work, we all have to pick up on each other's cues. We need to recognize that there isn't much time left before this slight chance becomes impossibility."

Dmitri stared at the general’s laptop for the longest time, with hundreds of thoughts racing through his mind. He didn’t want to believe what he had just heard and seen, in fact he wished with all of his will that he could just forget everything. But it was useless. The image of his parents’ names on the list of terminated “threats” had been permanently engraved onto his mind, and for some unexplainable reason he had the strongest feeling that the general was telling the truth.

“My mother and father…were killed by the Republic?” Dmitri asked to no one in particular. “They wanted to be…free?”

Dmitri’s mind was jumbled with thoughts; memories of the propaganda given to him during his childhood military academy clashed with memories of his parents. Thoughts of the importance of order and unity were replaced with images of his mother and father’s dead bodies slumped on the floor. His mind was struggling with an emotional tug of war, one side ordering him to remain loyal to the just cause of the Republic and the other side demanding him to avenge the deaths of his parents. However, the emotional pull of his parents was overpowering, and soon there was only one thing on Dmitri’s mind: vengeance.

He looked at the general with a newfound sense of purpose. “Sir, you’ve convinced me. I’ll follow you into battle and fight against the Republic…under one condition.” Dmitri could feel the anger seething through his body as he spoke. “You said that you were involved with the termination of the insurgents in Russia, which includes my mother and father. While I won’t hold this against you, this must mean that you have a large amount of information involving the incident. I have one favor to ask of you sir…find out who killed my parents and I swear to you that I will follow your orders until the day I die.”

She met plenty of people who disappeared for no reason a few days after complaining about the "incessant, impossible testing." They'd seemingly not performed well, and had been relocated to another facility. At least, that was what they were told. Far more likely they'd been eliminated for being useless. Cynthia made sure that her performance was enough to keep them interested, but not enough to set her apart.

I wonder what they'll make me do tomorrow... she thought. I failed today, off by two, was it? So I should try to be right tomorrow, but think for a little longer. I wonder how long it'll take them to figure me out; they're sharp, after all. Especially that Benjamin, he's about impossible to read. God... I hope you're doing better than I am, Cornell...

the door banged open and the lights came on as two saft officers entered with a doctor in tow "sorry to disturb you cynthia but we need you to come with us."

the sounds of others being roused filtered into the room and the silloets of safty officers escorting doctors and guests filed past the door it would be obvious that something was going on as nothing like this had happend before in the facility usualt when someone "graduated" they where sent off to either the army or research depending on where there skills lay but that wasn't oftain as it was hard to be certain of loyalty with these people it was usualy a best guess situation but so far they hand't been wrond... so far as they knew anyway

the terran garrison at Sochi was fully commited now they where on there own with the terran forces all masses on the geogian turky/arminia border any reinforcements dispatched would arive to late to be of use.

"Damn them there using there carcases to clog the harbour sink the bastards out to sea before they get to the harbour" the comander reflexivly ducked as whe radar tower was blown to peices "would someone please sink the bastards before theres nothing left to defend!"

Now there were more mobile suits in the air, and the bullets were coming thick and fast. It would take stronger stuff to sink the ships, which the land batteries and Sags were providing. But even a smoldering, gunless hulk was still a useful weapon. The Terrans now realized that the goal was not to escape.

"We've dealt with the subs, and the forward vessels are now engaging the Kerch fleet directly," reported Hall's aide. "AA and CIWS are proving to be effective only against the Geminis."

"Heh, using our flight pack specs, I see," Hall said. "It's a nice way to bolster strength, but they should appreciate the value of a suit built specifically for flight... we can't hit the Aries, can we?"

"No, sir."

"Didn't think so." The ship rocked as another salvo pounded the lower deck, threatening to tear the armor clean off. "What's our status?"

"A quarter of the fleet is down, mostly in the harbor area. Half of what's left is either low on ammo, out of guns, or drifting aimlessly."

"They mobilized faster than I thought," Hall said. "But they're panicking. I can tell by the way they're throwing suits at us."

"The number of viable targets has decreased," the aide reported. "It doesn't look like we'll reach the mobile suit works on the north side, though, not with their defenses."

"We can at least try!" said Hall. "We just need to damage it..." The fleet was ragtag by now, but a few tried to make up a line for this last attack run. Everything would be directed at them.

the door banged open and the lights came on as two saft officers entered with a doctor in tow "sorry to disturb you cynthia but we need you to come with us."

Cynthia was nodding off when the door burst open and she was jolted awake. There was quite a commotion outside, and apparently she was invited to the party. Damn... have I failed after all? she thought. Even so, she wasn't going to let them completely enjoy this at her expense. She smiled good-naturedly and hopped out of bed. "You know me, ready for anything!" she quipped, and she let them lead her down the hallway.

Space

The dojo was curently drifting over eastern russia they hadn't had any luck trackingt he ships that had attacked the republic but that wasn't suprizing after all someone once said "space is a big place" and it was definatly true it was relativly eazy to avoid the republic fleats especialy with there advances scanners giving them the extra warning needed to avoid the odd one they did

"come across anything yet?" Captian Takigawa asked one of the comm oficers

"nothing yet although comm trafic sugests that the Terrans are under attack in the black sea aswell as massing troops in georgia as for rebelious elements nothing since the attack ont he capital building"

"how are the pilots ajusting to ship life?"

"better than most actualy" replied the ships medic "the Beta gene is truly incredible not only do they have enhanced reflexes and mental capacity but it also seems to help them adapt to new enviroments faster. its really quite amazing to watch how they grow and adapt"

"i'm sure it is doctor i just need to know if the'y'll be ready?"

"oh there ready now." he replied " they may not be at the level of the Republic but we also havent put them through the gruling training regime that the Terrans use and when fighting as a team there unstopable the simulators are haveing trouple keeping up with how far there pushing them selves"

"Arent the simulators designed to learn from them to provide a constant chalange?"

"indeed captain but a computer can only think so fast and our pilots are aproaching that speed and once they pass it the adaptivity is no longer usefull"

Itami was impressed. they had all heard the reports about the Terran betas Captians Lynde and Xaing the most notable devistating forces of nature in there own rights even more sow with here custom suits but to hear the same praise about your own troops was something else entierly knowing they where atleast on par with the most feared warriers the Terrans had to offer "perhaps we aren't doomed to failure after all"

Alarms suddenly sounded "Ma'am new contact closing fast"

"can we evade?"

"No Ma'am there coming right at us dead ahead"

"curses. well doctor it looks like we are about to see just how ready they are"

"Indeed"

"All hands report to battle stations! this is not a drill! Repeat this is not a Drill!"

the silence of there meditation was broken first by the Alarms then by the Captains summons to battle stations. the 6 pilots where sitting in a circle not one of them flinching at the interuption hearing it but acting as though it hadn't happened everything in its own time the battle would wait for them.

after afew moments they all stood and filed out of the room and made there way to the dressing room puting on there flight suits in silence "Shinzo report" Captian Takeru Matsumori asked as he entered the hanger "are the samurai ready?"

"theyve been ready since we entered orbit all we need are there pilots" shinzo said with some pride knowing if something did go wrong it wouldn't be because him and his team had failed

"very good" he turned to his Leutenants "Samurai today the battle reatches us. we freely join the fight knowing if the battle must be joined we will join if clear of concience ready to die. for he who joins the battle expecting to live dies but he who goes expecting to die lives. to your Gundams a nd if we die we die with honour"

the 6 pilots ran to there gundams quickly entering the start up sequence there colouring shimering to life as there APS was activated the 01 and 06 moving to there positions on the paralell catapults

"Captian Matsumori to Captain Takigawa. the samurai are ready for launch"

"roger that captain await my signal for launch"

"...again this is Commander Ronald Greene of the Terran republic Carrier Glorious state your identity."

"open a channel."

"channel open"

"commander greene a pleasure to meet you i am Captain Takigawa how can we be of service to the republic?"

"surender your vessal and prepair to be borded"

"i'm afrain i can't do that commander... orders you understand"

"and i have mine surender or be destroyed"

"how about this you surender or we will destroy you"

"you do not know who you are dealing with"

"nor do you" she motioned to terminate the link "Captian Matsumori your team is cleared to launch"

the 01 and 06 rocketed off the catapults Takeru continuing forwards in the 01as Tamia in the 06 took ip position above the dojo as the 02 and 05 cleared the catapults following after Takeru and spreading off to the sides giveing eachother pleanty of room as the 03 and 04 cleared the 03 moving to take up position above the 01 as the 04 activated its mirage system winking out of existance

"alright boys come to mommy" Tamia said to no one in particulat as she lined up a Leo in her scope and pulled the trigger the beam arched in at light spead the Leo exploding in a briliant flash of licht and Tamia moved to a new positionand readyed her sniper rifle to fire again

Takeru hadn't stoped or slowed and flew right at a Leo drawing his Beam Katana at the last instant slicing it in half it exploding behind him as he flew past taking on the next one

in the 05 Riku didn't even bother targeting the advancing mobile suits as he charged his positron cannon he had bigger fish to fry he targeted the Glorious and fired the positron cannon along with his 2 beam cannons at the glourious seriously dammaging its sheilds

Amaya in the 02 was haveing the most fun of them all lining up seven targets and firing all 4 of her beam cannons her beam assult rifle and her missile pods at once anialating all her targets in a single strike

the 03 streaked across the battle feild with Tsubasa fireing only when he had a clear shot and taking out 3 of the Leos before comeing around for another pass

it was imposable to tell where Masaru was in the 04 the very sudden and semingly random explosion of a Leo for no imediatly obvious reason the only sign that he was even on the feild

all this happened in the first moments of the battle the terran forces hadn't even fully deployed ad they where being desimated Riku firing another blast at the Glorious other suits exploding from other attacks the Samurai where so swift and distructive that it was all Commander green could do to send of vidio footage of the slaughter of his troops by the unknown Gundams there carrier hadn't even closed in enough to have fired buy the time the glorious exploded in a masive fire ball sending fragments of hull and deck plating flying in all directions

the vido of the glorious's last moments made its way throught the comunications network untill it reached highcommand what they would do with it was unknown

AND NOT IN MY HARBOUR" the commander yelled his orders "what is Odessa doing?"

"nothing sir!"

"what the hell we're getting our asses kicked here and there just sitting back at watching damn them to hell" he flinched as another shell impacted near by "would sombody do something about that!"

one of the remaining gemini units suddenly dove at the deck of the flag ship blasting away at the reamaining gunns befor sending its flightpod flying into the bridge and the unit its self slamed into te deck using it as a platfor to blast away at the other ships from a more stationary platform but this worked both ways and it was soon blasted off the smoking ruin of the deck

Cynthia was nodding off when the door burst open and she was jolted awake. There was quite a commotion outside, and apparently she was invited to the party. Damn... have I failed after all? she thought. Even so, she wasn't going to let them completely enjoy this at her expense. She smiled good-naturedly and hopped out of bed.

"thank you for your co-operation Cynthia" the doctor sait in a plesent tone "by the way my name is Dr Olson. so how have you enjoyed your stay here at our facility so far?" and so began the questions and depending oh ohw she answered all of the decided if she would be escorted to the elivator the one of there warehouse entrances or just back to her room because as usual in Omega everything was a test

"Sir sensors just picked up something, energy signatures peaked a few seconds ago, some kinda of explosion after what was most likely weapons fire" the only current person on duty in the CIC of the Red Pheonix reported "Where?" The current commanding officer ask. The captain along with the other members of the pheonix council were now alseep for the night and were not to be disturbed unless it was a emergency. The woman came up from the CIC "area above the meditarrianean, so not to far away, what ever is going on its nothing we should be concerned about yet to leave our position above that causucs" she said to the current commanding officer.

Hall's crew instinctively threw their hands up as the Gemini landed on the deck, taking out the last big gun his ship could field. The poor bastard was surrounded... what was it trying to accomplish?

Hall closed his eyes. "It's come to this... so you guys are really out of options," he sighed. "In that case, it's our victory!" There was a sickening crash as the flight pod was ejected. It struck the bridge, sending glass, debris, and men flying in all directions. Hall was thrown backwards, his chest impaled. But do you really think it ends here? You haven't heard the last of us!!

Other ships watched the captain go down and blasted the offending Gemini off the deck. They saluted as they passed the floating hulk, and turned their attention to the mobile suit works. A few smaller escorts were trying to pick off Sagittarius units on shore while getting pummeled from above. The Aries were just too fast.

A few other ships were taking more drastic measures. Men were jumping into the sea in droves, but too many ships were still afloat. They could not just be handed over to the enemy, even in that condition. The Union survivors now started taking out their own to try and clog the harbor. As for what they would do once they were overwhelmed... well... detonating engine rooms and powder magazines were always options.

A flurry of solid and explosive rounds were now sent in the direction of the mobile suit works. Any damage would do. There was no coordination now, no one taking command... just a bunch of pissed-off captains.

She probably shouldn't be as sarcastic as usual, but she should try to maintain some good humor. "It's been nice, actually," she said. "I'm surprised how relaxed it is down here. I was expecting something a little dingier." But not too chipper. "I can't say I've enjoyed being kept down here, but it's better than the alternative, right?" Which hopefully wasn't coming.

Maybe she should give them a reason to keep her around. "I have noticed all of these weird little tests of yours, too... I've been learning as much about myself as you have. Sure, I'm not always right..." - and their records would show that she did significantly better than random guessing, but not perfect - "but given time, I might just learn to control whatever this is." And that was true. She'd always had some sort of extra intuition guiding her logistical planning, but she could never figure out what.

It was a melee now. Everyone for themselves. Ships were ramming into docks and blasting mobile suits apart with what little ammo was left. Terran mobile suits strafed the ocean, killing scores of men who were swimming for the shoreline. Burning hulls were floating all over the bay, just waiting for something volatile to explode and end their misery. The shore was lined with broken Terran material. A few civilian buildings near the shoreline had been hit as well, but that was to be expected.

Hopefully that would wake the Russians up. If not, it would be another hour or two before the Union struck again, seemingly from beyond the grave...

Oh dear... this elevator... where did it go? And why would he care what she thought about Betas? It seemed like the time for testing her abilities was over. Now the questions were more about politics and ideology. Which side was she on? Did she at least respect what the Terrans had done? Morally speaking, she was opposed to it, but there were still some objective points she could truthfully bend. "I've only read reports produced by my country's intelligence bureau" she replied, "and it's impossible to deny that they're a step ahead of the rest of us. You must have an excellent training system in place... first class. At least that's my guess, based on what I've seen of this facility, and we're not even people you like."

the terrans where forsed to let them withdraw they where in no condition to persue some suits where barly making it to the ground before the batterys died others not so lucky crashing violently to the ground the ones that knew they had no hope targeted the still mobile ships and crashed into them doing what dammage they could to the fleaing union ships for as far as the history books where conserned thes battle was over... bothe sided had taked heavy losses and suffered massive dammage

Now the questions were more about politics and ideology. Which side was she on? Did she at least respect what the Terrans had done? Morally speaking, she was opposed to it, but there were still some objective points she could truthfully bend. "I've only read reports produced by my country's intelligence bureau" she replied, "and it's impossible to deny that they're a step ahead of the rest of us. You must have an excellent training system in place... first class. At least that's my guess, based on what I've seen of this facility, and we're not even people you like."

the terrans where forsed to let them withdraw they where in no condition to persue some suits where barly making it to the ground before the batterys died others not so lucky crashing violently to the ground the ones that knew they had no hope targeted the still mobile ships and crashed into them doing what dammage they could to the fleaing union ships for as far as the history books where conserned thes battle was over... bothe sided had taked heavy losses and suffered massive dammage

the terrans had a small problem while they could phone for reinforcements they where atleast acouple of hours away if not more. if the remander of the remanent fleat decided to come back before and sort of releif mad it to sochi they where screwed

Only eight or nine ships had any combat capability left, and another dozen or so were limping behind as recovery vessels. Anyone who could be rescued on the way out was crammed on board. Now what?

Captain Perry onboard Tasmania had the longest service record of the surviving officers and was designated as acting admiral. The original draft of the plan called for surviving ships to swing north and hit Sebastopol on the western side of the Crimea, but now that the Kerch fleet had sailed, that base was relatively undefended. However, given their remaining force, it was unlikely that they'd be able to accomplish anything of note against either.

"Twenty minutes until the next phase begins," Perry sighed, checking the time. "Sochi will be spent for at least another eight to ten hours, and the harbor will take days if not weeks to clear out. But they'll have fresh air forces soon enough."

"No matter where we go, we'll be a target," said his aide. "We should take down as many of them as we can. That's what the Admiral would've done."

Perry closed his eyes and leaned back into his chair. "Of course he would, but we've used almost all of our ammunition, and the Leatherbacks with us are of limited use. We can do more good if we return to the Aegean and help the Europeans hold the Mediterranean."

"Go back through Istanbul? Is that even possible now?"

"If everything goes according to plan, and we get some outside help, then we'll be the least of their worries. And it might even stretch them."

so they didn't realize they had been screened and selected cause they where beta's. after all given the nature of these people if one knew they all would know in a mater of about an hour was the estamated figure baised on the reasionig that it took about an hour to walk from one end of the primary complex to the other "our training facilities are second to none and a closley guarded secret after all it would be a major target if people knew where it was and that because people have a misguided opinion of the beta's considering the bulk of them end up in the military they've been branded with the "weapon" lable. but in adition to the 47 registers millitary graduates of the beta program there are about 14 in non-combat roles. most are in R&D and acouple in information technolagy" he knew he was guiving alot of information but so far nothing that would compromise the security of the program.

"That's... interesting," Cynthia said at last, as the doctor took his leave. "It's good to know that there are excellent leaders in all areas coming out of your programs." She looked around at where she'd been left off. The people gathered there were an odd bunch with no discernible unifying traits. She was trying to make sense of his revelation. If what he says is true, then Betas aren't just supersoldiers... they're just super in general? Is it physical, or mental, or maybe it depends?

The more she thought about it, the more she thought about her own skills. It was seeming less like intuition. After all, she'd surprised herself during testing - her mind was doing far more than she thought it could, and she wasn't even conscious of it. The observation they wanted her to make just clicked. If someone had advanced mental abilities, they would be better at researching new technology or figuring out how to use it. Planning of all kinds. Timetables. Troop movements. Supply trains.

There were children in the room, and none of them seemed scared. Could it be... no. No, that was impossible. It can't be, Betas don't occur naturally, they're developed all the way. They're developed... right?! For the first time since arriving at the facility, Cynthia Simms was truly shaken.

Some answers at last. But Cynthia didn't believe that. Betas occur naturally and are trained? But that's... so intelligence was wrong?! But then shouldn't other nations have them? Why only Terra? And this business about a space colony didn't seem right, either. She'd heard rumors that the Terrans were seizing control of one after another, in the name of justice and peace, unity and order, and all that... And even if that was true, why were they needed in space?

Cynthia was trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The conquest of Earth was one thing, but the conquest of space... just what was Sage's real objective? Perhaps, if Terra had a monopoly over Earth and space, and was able to pull together humanity's best and brightest to solve problems in its name, then they would be in a position to control the future development of mankind. But would they be benevolent masters once they were in a position to be so, or could they expect more of the same once the world was in their hands? There's still too many questions... too many possibilities, it doesn't make sense to worry about that now. I just have to move forward and figure this out piece by piece...

Black Sea, near Sebastopol, Crimea

Word was filtering back about the disaster at Sochi. The fleet there, and the Kerch fleet, had been hit hard. The Union had made an absolute mess of things. Something was still off, though. Terran submarines had been able to slide right up to the Union fleet undetected and hammer away without running into any obstacles. Was it really believable that the Union navy had not brought any submarines into the Black Sea? And even if they hadn't, why did they only have half a legion of Leatherbacks?

The Terrans got their answer when the surface of the water was broken by a string of IMMDs.

Sevastopol had remained comparitivly quiet compaired to Sochi wich they had lost contact with and were on alert along with every other base in the redsea

"the ragar operator taped the screan "uhh sir i'm getting a strange reading" he tapped it again as the hasy blob grew. it didn't match anything on record

"alright what do you have peterson"

"something heading right at us"

the officer incharge leaned in close taping the screen "dear god" he slammed his hand down of the manual alarm button seding what navel personel there where scrambling to there posts as the pilots of the 2 areis squads ran for there mobile suits.

but it was all in vain as the swarm of missiles destroyed everything in the base nothing was safe there was also extencive dammage to the surounding buildings for about a mile out as it was imposable to be acruate with that may missiles some where bound to be off course.

there might have been servivors in the base but the residents of the city didn't bother to check meing more conserned for there own rather than the terran millitary

The payload had been delivered. Now that the Terran forces in the Black Sea were in complete disarray, it was time to head out. A few surface ships were detected breaking off from Sochi with Leatherback escorts, which they figured to be the survivors of the fleet. They would use this time to escape back into the Aegean and continue to fight with their European allies, who might also take advantage of the Terran downtime.

Scandinavia

The Scandinavian military was a week behind a proposed invasion of Russian territory. The reason was the buildup of Terran forces in Russia and a growing presence in Eastern Europe. Striking at the Republic now would be like poking a stick at a starving lion. One uncalculated strike could be disasterous, and there would be no hope for a united front against Terra. As a result, the military was on the defensive, reduced to only patrolling borders and reporting of any Terran mobile suits. It was only a matter of time before Scandinavia would learn about what the Terrans had planned. Conflict was inevitable, but it was boiling down to whoever would strike first...

just outside Nordic command

Colonel Brazoffskie was pooring over the maps of the area they had stationed themselves just outside the scandinavian frount in there bid to retake the command post. intelegence reports indicated thet the scandinavians had spread themselves thin along there borders to the point that the colonels forces now outnumbered the local forces atleast 4 - 1 and that was a conservitive figure. it wasn't "critical mass" but it was enough to hopefully retake the base and defend from possable counter attack they had been caught off guard the first time, tis time they would not be caught un awares and as soon as the word came scandinavia would feel the republics wrath

"Sir... if our subs are here, we can still do some damage. We have IMMDs left. Shouldn't we put them to use?"

"We won't get a resupply until we get back to Greece, and we can't get any more missiles unless the Europeans are building them according to our specs. But you're right, they don't do us any good sitting underwater. What do you suggest?"

"There's still another sizable base within range, and it'll take a day or two for the ships leaving Sochi to cross the sea. We should use this extra time wisely, and strike here with our remaining weapons..."

Northeast of Yerevan, Armenia

A signal flare brightened the darkening sky as the mobile suits of the Union Successor Army came within hailing range of the Great White. They had set up camp in the mountains a few miles from Yerevan, and it was a mess of trucks and tents. There was a plateau three hundred yards or so from the main body which would suffice for landing.

"It looks like they all got out," Simms said, relieved. "I'm still surprised the Terrans didn't attack them when they had the chance."

"The rearguard is still coming in, but all told, we should have about twenty five hundred suits, mostly Tuataras," reported Gimbley.

"But now what do we do?" asked Morris. "Terran forces in Georgia are fully mobilized, and Turkey will undoubtedly follow."

"Hall should be done at Sochi by now, if the original plan held," mused Simms, "and if that's the case, then they'll be in some disorder, even if the attack didn't do much damage. Since the Terrans have altered their satellite encryption codes, Daly's been having trouble getting news updates, so we can't say for sure."

After informing her of the situation the captain gave the order to take off and head south to avoid the storm. So those left on the bridge for night watch did so.

"You've made a good choise Dmitri and i will do what i can to to find who was responcable"

Ivan turned back to his console and cleared the screen "now that we are all of one mind on this we can continue. as even the dumbest cadet will tell you you cant sucessfully run a revolution without weapons if you'll follow me" he unpluged his laptop and lead the pilots from the room taking the back to one of the dimly lit temporary hangers

"comrads your mobile suits" he hit the switch and the hanger was suddenly illuminated revealing 3 of the standared Tartars and the 3 specialized units "the pilots for the Specialized units have already been chosen the rest of you will be piloting the standard units. my apologies if you thought you would be receaving the Gemini III's the fact of the matter is that this is what we have avalable to us these are what you've trained in and i'm proud to say you've exeded our expectations"

"while it is true there isn't a beam weapon to be found on any of the units this is an advantace since modern units are designed to servive increasingly more powerfull beam weaponry theyve been phasing out kinetic armour giving you an advantage and while no beam defences might seam a disadvantage you've already demonstrate the ability to avoid being hit. you knowlage of how the gemini and sagitarious units move and your armour penitrating round will make you more than a match for them and yout team work is another asset you have"

"you have an hour to familierize yourselves with the units then we move out we will be joining the coming battle in georgia. as your all aware Union forces have gathered in the black sea and made land fall in turkey we are going to meet up with them in 14 hours and give the republic something else to worry about"

"Comrads i hope you sleep well because the morning will bring the red dawn"

(OOC: Sorry for my absence, I've been busy with school lately...and it's not even finals week for us yet. I have my finals in early January, so don't expect to hear much from me then.)

As the pilots walked into the hangar the disappointment on their faces was apparent. They had expected to be able to pilot something better than the Tartar suits, but they accepted them without any complaints. The pilots split off into Hammer and Sickle squadrons and got into their suits to begin training in the little time that they had. While piloting a real mobile suit was much different than training in a simulator, everyone adjusted fairly quickly due to the intense training sessions they had gone through for several weeks.

After an hour of combat training and formation drills, it was time to head off to Georgia. Many pilots still had mixed emotions about the coming battle since they knew that they would have to fight alongside their former enemies and against their former comrades. But everyone knew that there was no turning back now; they would just have to deal with it and hope for the best. The pilots quickly packed their things and prepared for the journey ahead.

Ivan watched the soldiers train in there mobile suits the 3 special ones where kept inside the names of those who would be piloting had been kept secret for the time being it wasn't time for the rest to know they had enought o deal with at the moment.

the squads moved seamlessly it was better t hen he could have hopes and in the squad on squad trials with piant rounds the team wour was without flaw they might be in out dated mobile suits that had been saved from an untimely death and uning kenetic weapons but there skill would more than make up for there short comings.

"alright load'em up and move'em out" the suits where loaded on to there individual heavy lifters for transport the 2 squads 3 specials and the extra units for the third squad that was still in the works. it was hoped that it could be finished enrout if not when they servived there encounter with the republic hopefully they would meet other resistance forces if not they would surly be doomed.

an hour after the order was given everything was preped for transport the mobile suits consealed on there lifters, the supply trucks, troop transports, command trucks, and everything else possable needed even portable crew quarters it really was a base on the move and move they would 1,300 kelometers to georga they would get there sometime tomorrow.

since they haddent made there anounce ment yet Iven was still linked to the terran network and kept tabs on the troop movements through out the journy. the battle at sochi, the counter attack on sevestople, the most interesting thing was the reports of the ship meeting up with the union forces about half way through the trip. they stoped once at the Gumrak airstrip to refuel. and to give the troops a chance to stretch there legs before the second half of the trip.

when they passed sovetskoye Iven had a decision to make he could either let a colonel asume command and compleatly skrew them over or he could make a command decision. he needed to keep turky from joining with georga against Armenia without it looking like he was holding them back but how. and then it hit him... he dnd't need to stop them compleatly just delayt hem long enough not to be able to help out in the first battle or even a sudden counterattack

"get me the turkish commanders"

it was several moments before a conection could be made "commanders good to speek with you i'll be joining our forces in georga in aproximetly 6 hours i need you to move into position along the AOI borders we will take on the union forces in Armenia we need you to keep the AOI off our backs"

Yerevan, Armenia

Simms saluted as he filed into a tent filled with the officers present with the mobile suit corps. There were few. Most of the leadership had been delegated to the mobile suit teams, and for now, the difficult situation was keeping people in line. They knew it was work together, or fall. Their mobile workstations, radar, and such also gave them a very limited picture of the world around them. It was up to the Great White's sensors to fill in the gaps.

"You guys disappeared for the longest time," said one, "but as long as we saw Terrans moving limited force into Iran, we knew you had to be there. We hedged our bets on that, and thank God we did."

"I appreciate you bringing this many suits," Simms replied. "We've still got our work cut out for us, but this gives us some options. What do you know about the enemy forces?"

"The main Terran army is headquartered in Tbilisi, due north, and can likely use the Khrami and Kur as natural borders. And the mountains in this region give all of us problems."

"But if the word were given, we could march out at any time?" asked Simms.

"We could certainly cover it in maybe half a day, less if we push," the officer responded. "We just need to be mindful of fuel and provisions. We have enough for two days as it is, the rest we'll either have to buy as we go, or steal."

"I see," sighed Simms. "And Turkey is a complicating factor. While we cannot decrypt their messages right now, we at least know they're being sent. There were several transmissions beamed into Turkey from Ukraine earlier today, and that source is moving in this direction. It appears, from the radar signatures, to be a small force, although with the weather being the way it is, we can't tell if there's more hiding in there or not. Either way, someone's coming and likely rousing a force to pinch us."

"We haven't noticed any mobilization in Turkey yet," replied the officer, "and if we were to start moving now, we could reach Georgia and beyond before they reach the border."

"That's good to hear," said Simms, "but we should still be ready for either." He unrolled a map on the table and placed markers for the known Terran forces and the assumed backup in Turkey. "The two best approaches now are to the northeast via the railroad, then to Tbilisi via Rust'avi, and the road north via Vanadzor. This way, we can either to split them up or surround them. Our ship will take an air wing by the northeastern route. The main ground force should hold them south of Tbilisi until we can sweep in from the east. Of course, if they start a countermove quickly, we'll need to adjust our advance."

"And the mountains will cover our movements somewhat," another officer chipped in. "Your ship might give them a good scare and force their hand early."

"You're getting ahead of yourself, I doubt they're that scared of us after just one battle," said Simms. "Of course, I should probably run this by the European representatives we have onboard, as you all know, the ones from the Confederation and Scandin..."

"Bah, we'll do this with or without them. We're the only ones fighting right now, and they're sitting back enjoying the show!"

Simms was taken aback. "Sir, you do realize that we're the nation that surrendered first. If anything, we should be proving ourselves to them."

"I'm still not convinced they're taking this alliance seriously... it's true we moved earlier than planned, but they've shown no initiative and no spirit. The Admiral gave his life for..."

"Wait... what was that again? About Hall?"

Black Sea, west of Crimean peninsula

The Union subs were down to their last batch of IMMDs. At the start of the alliance, they'd shared the specs with the Europeans in the hope that they'd make more. They were useful weapons against Terra, best when used in surprise attacks. They had one more up their sleeve.

The peace of Odessa was broken by a flurry of missiles heading towards naval and army installations...

Odessa was lucky they had been on high alert with the attacks on bases in the area so they where on highalert and the moment the cloud os missils came on radar they scrambled everything and fired up the missile defences in hopes to a tleast thin it out knowing that getting them all would be impossable

the first of the aries ahd lifted off by thetime the missiles tha made it past the defences hit the base causeing extencive amounts of dammage to the base but still leaving it operational... some what

but that was neither hear nor there. the trucks where relativly well equiped with monitors for the traveling films. the childens trucks where playing the latest childrens hit while the rest where being given a crash course on space flight. ita was all standars stuff and rather droll. how to deal with weighlesness the lack of a definate up/down feeling and how to move around in a weightless enviroment

it was between this film and the one that was an intro to the space colony that someone spoke "so any ideas what this is all about?" he asked "somethings not right eitherway. first i'm taken from my home, then they preformed some kind of test and i was shiped off to that facility without even being alowed to say goodbye to my family. i don't even know what happened to them if they where shiped off or if there back home or something. what about you how did they get you?"

he was right about one thing he didn't know where they where as at Omega the age groups where intentionaly kept seperate as welll as familys where they could. it wasn't that they where against familys it was more the fact that it was generaly eazyer to mold them if they tought they where alone. it also encouraged social interaction insted of sticking with family

That would have to do. In fact, they had no idea if it had even worked. Instead, the subs turned south, never showing their tops to the Aries zooming overhead. They would link up with the retreating surface ships and attempt another breakthrough at Istanbul. They offered little to the Europeans patrolling the Aegean and Mediterranean, but if at least the Leatherbacks could get through, it would be something to work with.

Laku had been sleeping for a few hours, and had been jostled awake by the landing. Unable to fall back asleep, she ambled out of her quarters into the hallway. She wasn't quite sure where they were or what was coming up. Now's not a bad time to get in some simulator time, she thought, heading off in that direction. I wonder what everyone else is up to...

Nelson was fast asleep. As far as he was concerned, he'd earned this.

Adam, meanwhile, was restless. After a three hour nap, he'd gone straight for the hanger to assist in his unit's repairs. The extra time that Terrans had given them might just be enough to get his arm reattached. "How's it looking, Chief?" he called.

Mervin kept his eyes on the mechanics rewiring the arm as it was lifted into place. Once that was good, they'd physically bolt it in. "You're lucky, we might pull this off."

"Good to hear, anything I can do to help?"

"Captured," Cynthia muttered. "Though I was Union military. But they take civilians, too? Where are you from?" If the Terrans were forcing regular people to join the military just because of their potential... their reach might be longer than she originally thought.

"Wha...?"

"If this keeps up, they're going to sandwich us. A landing on the Atlantic seaboard coupled with a push from Russia... this is looking very bad."

"Damn, does anyone else know about this? We need to move."

"We only have two hundred Tuataras, the rest of the force went into Russia, remember? We don't even know if they got there!"

"We're going to need every last suit in Europe to defend against this attack! And what's Scandinavia waiting for?!"

Laku walked into the room and looked for an open pod. She saw Star sitting in one, just kind of staring at the screen. "You'll probably have to ask Tom to whip you up something crazy," she said, taking the pod next to Star's. As much as she hated to admit it, the fights she'd had with Jacob and Adam had started doing some good. For now, any connection with her would do. "Until he does that... maybe you can give me some pointers?"

"brazil" he said simply. the amazon in all its vastness posed no obstical for the ocupying forces the practices jungle fighting the learned in africa alowing them to swiftly move in and ocupy south amarica in almost as quick a time as the union "the checked everyone with there little test it was almost asthough there where screaning for something. did you notace anything like that when the took you?"

Cynthia tried to think back, but she didn't remember much. She'd been on a ship fleeing north towards Japan, but they'd been intercepted. Her next clear memory was the facility itself, where there were definitely subtle tests going on. "At the facility, sure, but before that, I'm blank," she said. How did they identify her, though? Perhaps they have passive testing, too?

Iran-Iraq border frontlines

The Army units kept following the Great Whitej to meet at its location. All seemed to be going well until they noticed something strange. A captain broadcasted, "My lord. Our sensors are indicating that Terran soldiers are closing in on our position."
"Is that so? Stay on guard. Take to the lower grounds. Once you see them, destroy them so that our guests may remain unharmed."
"Understood. How much further is it until we are in Great White distance?"
"Approximately 200 meters. Continue to avoid giving our positions or we will lose the element of surprise."
"Confirmed."

Stockholm, House of Representatives

The House of Representatives was in session and presented bluntly to the King, "Our allies are being attacked. We fear that they are in grave danger from the Republic."
King Ragnvald asked, "Is there anyway we can help our allies?"
The Norwegian Representative suggested,"They seem to be focusing on Europe as of the moment."
The King then came to the conclusion, "Perhaps if we attack them now, we may strike their weakness. They are focused more in Europe, maybe we can avert their attention from our allies and give the Republic all we have."
The Finnish Representative asked, "But what of our nation my lord? what if we are to lose everything we have in the process of defending our allies?"
The King stood up and told the House, "We are Scandinavians... We are warriors who must do everything possible to defeat our enemies... Even if it results in more cities destroyed, or even our entire nation, we shall not be remembered as potential fighters who gave up a fight!" They were brave words, but there was a question of how they would turn out to be...

3 hours later...

The Scandinavians were taking a last ditch effort, seeming to have nothing to gain and everything to lose from a technical standpoint. However, for Scandinavians, odds never mattered to them. War with the Republic would now decide whether they were to be named Heroes or Martyrs...

Murmansk

"Remember the strategy Captain! We must take this opportunity while we still have the Republic busy!"
The captain assured, "Confirmed General. My men will be certain to follow your orders." Ever since Jacob's absence from his kingdom, the military of Scandinavia had developed a new addition to their main weapons, longer range capabilities. The strategy was simple: Destroy the Terrans means of communications, destroy the resistance, and take what was left. It was barbaric for some, but for many Scandinavians, it was their time to relive their ancestor's way of life...
The captain ordered, "Ove! You shall test out that longer range, destroy the communications tower!"
Ove confirmed, "Yes sir!" Ove took aim, and fired at the tower. As soon as the shot was fired, a missile shot at the grounds of the communications tower, making sense to the Scandinavian squads that the Terrans in Murmansk were now basically isolated.
The captain ordered, "Nice work Ove! Everyone strike at the base now!!!" And the war between Scandinavia and the Republic had begun...

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

The time had come... they had been on the move all night and had set up camp in the mountions near the small town of Sioni in Georgia. it was only a temporary camp as they would likely bee moving right away again but the rest was needed aswell as a final chance to let the men stretch there legs

Pyter Iven Mykal and sasha drove in to town while Victor began overseeing the unloading and startup of the Tartars including the 3 special units. the 4 pulled up at the local television station and walked up to the frount doors entering making a bee line for the security desk

"i need to see the sataion manager... Now" Ivan told the guards he was in his uniform parka making his status as a general in the terran millitary as plain as the noses on there faces and his tone broked no argument he would see the manager

it was afew minutes as one of the guards called up to the mannagers office and he hurried down "good day general how may i bee of survice to the republic??"

"you have the capabilities to make a terra wide broadcast yes?"

"uhh yes we can it would take afew moments to connect to the network but we could do it yes" the mannager was etting curious why would a general need his little station to make a broadcast why wouldn't he just use the millitary network

"see to it we will wait"

"of course general if you'll follow me" he lead them down the hallways to the broadcast offices and began ordering the staff around and they began scuring t follow his instructions as thestaion was prepaired to make a terrawide bradcast uning the emergency system tat would over ride everything and would only be able to be shutdown from the station its self "we're ready General"

"exelent i advise you and your staff to leave imediatly" it was only a sugestion not an order after what was about to happen they might decide to stay.

Pyter walked over to a console and inserted a data disk he hit afew key pulling out he media file it contained and readyed it to be broadcast "are we ready Ivan? this is our last chance to change our minds."

"do it"

Pyter Hit play and Televisions all across the republic when dark with the emergency broadcast logo promently displayed before it was replaced it something that Imediatly send High command into a panic

Iven Pyter and Mykal apeared on the screan standing in a snow coverd forest that could have been anywhere in the northeren hemisphear at this time of the year. Ivan was wearing his dress uniform and Pyter and Mykan there best suits

"My fellow russians and Comrades! for faw to long we had sufferd under the unjust oppression of the Republic. for far tolaong weve had out identity taken from us for the sake of there dream of unity for far to long we russians have been the ugly examble of what will eventualy happen to all nations who have fallen before the republic for there perverted vision of a unified earth.

Well no more will russia bow to the repiblic! we where caught off guard when they invaded without provocation all those years ago when we where brutaly crushed by the North Amarican Coalition and there Chinese allies

My fellow russians today markes a new dawn... a RED DAWN!" Ivan pulled off his Terran uniform jacked and dawned his new uniform jacked modled after the old Russian uniforms withafew minor diffrences not worth mentioning

"we challange Russians everywhere to fight there opressors. my fellow comrades today we are free men and we will Die as freemen. god willing old and toothless in our beds but if freedome so demands it it will be with a gun in our hands fighting to defend ou freedom as our fathers before us did

For the Red Dawn! and mother Russia!

the transmition ended and ivan changed out of his terran uniform for the last time there would be no going back now there fates where sealed weather ther republic managed to hunt them down or not before they suceaded remained to be seen

"I sugest you ad you people leave imediatly it would take the republic long to trace that here and distroy this place out of spite"

"uu uunder stood"

Across russia mobs broke out as citisenz everywhere revolted it was utter chaos as everyone fought eachother it was almost imposable to figure out who was on what side either russian or terran untill ouch lines could be estamblished for the fights ahead

the Terran millitary in russia didn't fare mich better there was stunned silence for afew moments in the barracks and other gathering places and all it took was one soldier loyal to mother russia draw his sidearm to set off a base wide conflict that shut down every base in russia and some outside of russias direct boarders

Murmansk

the missile slammed into the tower blasting a hole in the side and topling the remainder

"we're under attack! all personell to battle stations! pilots to ther mobile suits!"

Pilots scrambled to there suits the squads of aries lifting off and streaking across the sky in the return direction of the missile blasting into the Scandinavian ranks as they came into view

Several minutes later the geminies came storming across the ground blasting away with there assult rifles as the Sagitarious units formed up lobing there shells into the back ranks of the scandinavians everything was going well Untill the broadcast.

the lines faltered for a moment then stoped for amoment before all hell broke loose as the republic forces began fighting eachother aried gemini and Sags all fighting eachother trying to drawwthemselves apart sorthing themselves out acourding to alegiences and when that was largly settled the senior officer incharge of the russian half radioed the scandinavian commander

"this is Major Yuri Mikovitch of the New runnian Army requestiong your aid in expelling these Terran scumm from our motherland"

the Terran commander made his own transmtion "yuri if you know whats good for you, you'll stop this maddness"

Yuris answer was to send several shots acroos the space between them blasting into the commanders units riping it apart "your the ones causeing the maddness! and then to the Scandinavian commander again" whats your answer?"

Georgia

Colonel Yelensk had moved his foces south in preperationt o meet the Union forces the general was schedualed to arive within the hour and he wanted everything ready to the point that all it would take was the generals command and they would move in to shelling range and begin blasting apart the union ranks

they got luckt when it came to the broadcast they where running dark so they missed it entierly they where still sitting and waiting in silence as the rest of the world was in an uproar

Space

An officer was storming down that hall to the captains ready room and barged in turning on the screen to the transmition they where picking up he stoped panting apologizing for barging in but Captain Takigawa silenced him to listen to what was being said

there was a long pause as the captian tookin what had just happend "follow me" she stoold and went to the bridge "report"

were picking reports from all over russia.. it seems to be falling apart it utter chaos at the moment i cant tell whats going on down there any more"

"There what!?" the current officer on the bridge of the transport asked stunned "It seems like a call to arms from russian elements of the republic military" one of the others reported. The officer in charge became a bit agitated "Go to condition red, get the captain and the general up here" she ordered. The others quickly got to work on doing so as they triggered the alarm "All hands this is the bridge, condition red, I repeat condition red" came over the intercom. Holland and Luna quickly rose from there beds and got dressed and rushed for the hanger. Meanwhile the captain and general Waltfeld went to the bridge. It didn't take any one long to get to there assigned post "Whats going on?" the general asked when he walked onto the bridge "It appears that element of the republic forces we were tracking just went rouge, we got a revolution on our hands" the woman said getting up from the captains chair. The captain then walked on and sat down as Waltfeld got told her what the officer just told him.

Holland and Luna jumped into the cockpits of there gundam "Bridge status!" Holland shouted "We got a revolution on progress by russian elements of the republic, your to launch and get over there, you to sis" Mayrin told them seconds after getting to her post on the bridge. The hatch on the back of the transport opened and the two gundams droped out and then jetted to the soon to be battlefield.

The entire fleet was scrambling after the broadcast and every one was wide awake now "Some one tell me what the hell is going on!" Captain Ramius said as she got on the bridge of the Red Pheonix "Seems the russians are revolting, well some of them" CIC reported to her "Damnit, its sooner then expected, signal all ships to prepare for re-entry! now!" she shouted to the crew "Yes ma'am!" CIC responded as they all got to work to prepare the fleet.

Terran Space Colony Baker's Ridge

Terran Neutron Communication Filter Building

General Ayden was watching over the recent communication that General Yavensky had made. A General betraying the Republic he served, this would not be good for the Republic's image. He turned to one of the operatives and asked, "How far is the broadcast transmitting?"
One answered, "We have found most traces of the broadcast spreading across the Russian mainland."
The General ordered, "Very well. Keep the broadcast within that range, don't let any other nations learn of the Red Dawn movement."
An operative asked, "Yes sir. What shall we do about the Russians?"
General Ayden answered, "The Republic will deal with them accordingly. As for the leaders, it would seem that now is the time to send down the Red Berserker for General Crofton. Is it ready?"
Another operative answered, "According to our operatives, they are ready to launch the Red Berserker down to Earth."
The General ordered, "Very good. Give the order now."

2 hours later...

As the Operators of the Battlestation in Baker's Ridge prepared the launch of the TRX-1004, the Red Berserker, the crew watched as the Gundam was placed inside an atmospheric pod to avoid being burned while entering Earth's atmosphere. "Prepare all systems for launching!"
"TRX-1004 is ready to launch in 4...3...2...1... Release all latches!"
With that said, the pod carrying the Gundam shot down to the Earth at an amazing speed and began to enter the Earth's atmosphere...

Captain Snorre was amazed to hear what this Major Yuri Mikovitch had to tell him. Terrans were now fighting against Terrans? If this was the case, then he had best take the opportunity. He answered, "Request granted Mr. Mikovitch. We only ask for minimal damage to what can be taken." As soon as he made the transmission, he fired into the Terran ranks, destroying more of the Terran mobile suits. This battle was easy thanks to the overdedication of Terra to Europe at the moment, hopefully the luck would last...

Cynthia tried to think back, but she didn't remember much. She'd been on a ship fleeing north towards Japan, but they'd been intercepted. Her next clear memory was the facility itself, where there were definitely subtle tests going on. "At the facility, sure, but before that, I'm blank," she said. How did they identify her, though? Perhaps they have passive testing, too?

Outside Yerevan, Armenia

"The army in Georgia appears to have moved out of Tbilisi... no mistaking it. They're bringing the battle to us. What should we do?"

Simms looked at the positions. They would have difficulty moving much if they stayed in the mountains, and that made artillery a good option for their opponents. Mobility would be a decisive factor. "We can still attempt to flank them on the right," he said. "We just need to adjust the angle of our approach. And if they're giving battle closer to the border, we should have less civilians to worry about."

One of the men came running up to the command tent breathless. "Sirs!" he saluted, "we just got a transmission coming out of Georgia! In the clear!"

"What's that?" asked Simms in surprise. "What does it say?"

"It's the Russians... they're making a move!"

This was too good to be true. Far from waiting for their invasion, the Russians took the initiative? "What does it say?"

Simms glanced at the map. The first few hours are going to be chaotic... the Terrans will be overwhelmed at first, but once they regroup, the true fight will begin. He handed the transcript to another officer, who was immediately surrounded by others. "The enemy force we are facing will likely be unaffected by this development," he said, "so we will assume that this battle is unavoidable. Right now, they're all that stands between us and aiding the Russians. Nine through sixteen will form a wedge and make up the main frontal assault. I will be taking twenty through twenty three around the side. The remaining units should support the main attack."

He threw his jacket over his shoulders and left the tent, walkie-talkie in hand. He was escorted to the Great White. "Bridge, prepare for departure on combat alert." Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw a few men milling about the rocky mountainsides, but he was probably just imagining things...

The forces of Red dawn had moved out as soon as its leaders had returned from making there anouncement the mobil suits had been activated and made ready for combat the weapons fully loaded and armed. the finaly leg of there journy was likely to be the most risky now that the republic would be looking for them the only things in there favor was that the republic didn't know exactly where to look or even what to look for

"Comrades as of thirty minutes ago we are all officialy trators to the republic, but more importantly we are all russian heroes. roughly 150km south of here elements of the terran millitary are preparing to engage the union remanent army."

"our first mission will be to aid those elements and as such the pilots will be marching there mobile suits to the battle feild in a protective sheild around the supply, suport and command vehicals."

"now you are all probably woundering whos going to be piloting the 3 custom suits well i am now pleased to tell you. the Bear" he pointed to the suit equiped with the heavy weaponry "will be piloted by Lt. Iysenburg. the Rabbit "he pointed to the one with the long ranged weaponry "willbe piloted by Sasha and the Knight" he pointed t the last wich was equiped for close combat "will be piloted by myself. Comrads you have your orders Now lets move out!"

"What do we have?" asked Simms as he reached the bridge. "Gimbley, Rian!"

"Terran Sagittarius units are moving ahead of their defense lines, we expect them to strike within the next half hour," reported Gimbley.

"The unidentified force we were tracking from Ukraine, codenamed 'Black Bear,' is coming south with additional units," added Rian. "They'll be in our zone of operations within three hours."

They were the ones sending messages to Turkey and Georgia, so we should assume they're loyalists... thought Simms. They're small, so we should also assume they're disproportionately strong. We need to finish this before they arrive. He looked at the map. We're vulnerable while we're coming north... that line is strong, and we'll have to deal with air strikes and artillery before we even hit those Geminis. If we hang back, we can try to force them to come to us... artillery won't be as effective as range increases, and that buys us time to come around.

They could still throw a wrench into the line. While it was necessary to obtain critical mass for the point of penetration, they could divide up the approach. "Order the ground suits to spread out, we need to stretch them out and throw off their defense," he ordered. "All available Albatross mobile suits should be pushed forward to engage the Sags. Our target for ground engagement is one hour. This vessel is to continue its approach on the right flank."

Morris swiveled around from his station. "You know, they'll see us," he said. "As long as they're on the defensive, we should exploit the confusion behind them and be straightforward. Why come around when we should be in the middle leading the charge?"

"We're at a disadvantage," replied Simms. "We need to keep them unbalanced and make them guess where the main thrust will be. There are more suits approaching directly, sure, but we can attack the line at different points at different times, and with different force. If we make them guess where to focus their defense, we can catch them in transition."

Morris huffed and turned back to his screen. "While we all respect what you've been able to accomplish, I don't like all this beating around the bush."

"It's not enough to just bowl through," Simms said. "We need to preserve our force, as well." He turned his attention to the operators. "Rian, do we know what 'Black Bear' is bringing?"

"These signatures are all unknown," she replied.

Yes, disproportionate strength... we cannot afford to let them join the defense line! Simms thought. "Gimbley, how long until we're in position?"

"Forty to fifty minutes from now, and we'll be ahead of the ground troops."

Then we'll be launching OUR attack with little or no assistance for up to half an hour, so we'll need all of our suits ready. "Gimbley, patch this through to the rest of the ship.

"Within the next hour, this ship will enter combat against a Terran army occupying the former Republic of Georgia, with the rest of our army to follow. This strike will determine if we make it to Russia or not. As you all know, our objective in coming to the Black Sea region was to make up the southern push against Terran Russia, and now, our chances are greatest.

"Admiral Hall's fleet engaged the Terrans at Sochi, and submarine strikes were carried out at Sebastopol and Odessa. This was intended to reduce Terran influence in the Black Sea region. While the attacks appear to have caused massive damage, the fleet itself was nearly lost in its entirety, with the Admiral and his flagship among the losses. His sacrifice has created a rift between Terran Russia and the Middle East and has also thrown Ukraine into some disorder, creating openings for ourselves and our European allies.

More importantly, we have intercepted communications originating from Terran territory calling for an uprising by Russian nationals. The revolution we have sought has begun. But while the Terrans will suffer immediate backlash, they will inevitably concentrate their forces and fight back with vigor. Our mission must be to assist them, if we are to count on their help in the wider world war.

The army astride the Georgian border is all that stands in our way. This ship will be cutting a path for one of our attacking forces, and other legions of Union mobile suits will be joining the broader offensive within thirty minutes of our initial engagement. Your mission is simple - cut a path. Move forward, and do not yield to Terran pressure. This time, we will be the ones pushing their line inward!"

Laboratory G, Somewhere in Siberia

Korovin worked on his personal laptop meticulously, trying to find out what had gone wrong with his latest experiment. Deeply involved in his work, Korovin jumped up in surprised when Maslov burst into the room yelling and shouting.

“Old man! Did you hear the news?” Maslov had shouted.

“Damn it Maslov! Can’t you see I’m trying to work here?”

“Forget that for a second! There’s a revolt going on man, a Russian Revolution! That damned Yevensky has incited insurrection against the Republic!”

Korovin was shocked at this news at first, but suddenly a wave of realization swept over him. “Wait a second…Maslov, wasn’t Sidorov under Yevensky’s command?”

“Wha-? Err…yeah, I think he was,” replied Maslov, puzzled at his colleague’s reaction. “What does that have to do with anything? We haven’t been able to trace Sidorov for weeks now, it’s like he’s disappeared off the face of the Earth.”

“Maslov, you idiot, don’t you see? Sidorov has been under Yevensky’s orders for these past few weeks, so he’s probably been preparing for this damned revolution this whole time! That’s why he suddenly fell off the radar, I’m sure Yevensky wouldn’t want anyone knowing what he was planning.”

“Oh…I guess you’re right,” Maslov said, impressed with Korovin. “Well that’s a pretty big problem; we can’t really get to Sidorov if he’s fighting for the rebels.”

“Well at least we have an idea of where he is, now we just need to find Yevensky.”

“Hah! That's going to be easier said than done…”

An hour after the general gave the global message announcing the beginning of Red Dawn, Hammer and Sickle squadrons were on the move. Led by the three specialized Tartar units, the two squadrons were on their way down to help the Union remnant forces fight off a Terran attack. The trip down was eerily silent since the general had ordered radio silence just as a precaution. But even if they had been allowed to talk, the pilots would have had very little to say. Every single one of them had their mind set on the battle soon to come, and many of them were wondering how far the revolution could go. Some doubted it would be successful enough to win independence for Russia, while others believed it would mark the beginning of the end for the Republic. Whatever they thought, the pilots all knew that the next battle would be their first chance to show the Republic what the Resistance was really made of.

Great White, Jacob's room

Hearing the news of a Russian revolt, Jacob and Rolf were now able to confirm that the Republic had a new adversary. It was only a question now of how effective they would be and how long they would last. Jacob asked Rolf, "Do you believe that there will be enough time for us to build our allaince with the Russians?"
Rolf told him, "I can certainly hope so my lord. It may add another worthy cause to defending ourselves against the Republic."
Jacob asked a curious question when he asked, "Do you think that the Russians can provide enough support to at least secure our place in the world?"
Confused, Rolf asked, "Why do you ask that my lord?"
Jacob told Rolf, "This war has been bringing pain for many people, and we cannot continue to fight forever. Is it not possible that the Republic will end its invasion after this?"
Shocked, Rolf asked Jacob, "My lord, do you not hear yourself speaking?"
Jacob told him, "I do Rolf. I don't wish to bring anymore suffering to any people, Terran or non, I want to end this war."
Rolf snapped at him, "Lord Jacob, Sage is the one controling this war, and he will not end it unless he says so! I have lived through all the years with that man as President, even before his "election", and I will have you know he is a mad man and he will not end this! You chose yourself to enter this war, you must serve in it like you swore!"
Jacob returned the question with, "What if I were to speak to him? Don't you think that he will probably then listen to us?"
Rolf had been trying to surpress the urge to do so, but he eventually gave in and threw his hand across Jacob's face. Rolf panted from what he had done. He was also in shock to see what he brought himself to do, slapping his own Prince he was sworn to protect. He was regretfull about what he had done, but knew apologies were not possible at this point. Rolf told him, "Jacob, you must understand... I know you want to solve all of the worlds problems on your own. However, no mortal man in history has ever been capable of doing this... Not even to this day..." Rolf turned around telling him, "I will leave you to decide what you will continue to do through this war. But understand, that if you do try to do so much at once... You will regret it later on..."
This would have to be something for Jacob to ponder on later, as there was now a battle that was about to take place. He had to help the rest of the Union army to safety if he even wanted to imagine an end in sight. Jacob left his room after Rolf and headed to the launch bay...

Stasr read and reread the transcript it was true the russians had revolted "the increase in radio traffic is likely both Terran and russian commnders trying to see whos loyal to whom the same with civilian matters... it will all hinge on the ratio of terran loyalists to russian sympathisers with whomever controls the majority in nominal control of the military facilitys while civilian areas will take longer to stabalize"

The General looked at the pod with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "Now I have power... Now I will soon end all who oppose the Republic... And you will be in for your final disciplining... Jaron..."

the citizens of Penza where still in a state of anarchy when multiple witnesses reported the drop pod coming down in the forest nearby.

the local Terran controled police force had been quickly subdued in the now russian controled neighbourhoods blocads had been set up around them to try and contain the "riots" but the lines where in a constent state of being pushed back as in tire blocks wouls spirng up as the revolution spread the remaining police where starting to be spread rather thin.

at the curent rate it wouldnt be long before the police would have to switch from containment to defence in attempt to defent republic owned buildings to try and maintain the republic presence untill some sort of aid arived

An hour after the general gave the global message announcing the beginning of Red Dawn, Hammer and Sickle squadrons were on the move. Led by the three specialized Tartar units, the two squadrons were on their way down to help the Union remnant forces fight off a Terran attack. The trip down was eerily silent since the general had ordered radio silence just as a precaution. But even if they had been allowed to talk, the pilots would have had very little to say. Every single one of them had their mind set on the battle soon to come, and many of them were wondering how far the revolution could go. Some doubted it would be successful enough to win independence for Russia, while others believed it would mark the beginning of the end for the Republic. Whatever they thought, the pilots all knew that the next battle would be their first chance to show the Republic what the Resistance was really made of.

Red Dawns March awas slow and inexorable they where still about 2 and a half hours out it was going to be a long quiet march. they where avoiding towns and other major population centers a premature battle now could desamate tem so it was best to try and not give away there position wich was why radio silence was ordered

So do we know whos leading them?"

She sared at the map her eyes rapidly running over ever detail taking it all in. it was a good plan the multi pronged attack was really the only option she cocked her head to one side and her eyes narrowed in a quizical fassion "whats this "black bear"?" she tapped the map here its location was indicated

"We looked through the original video of the broadcast," Simms said, handing her a still of an early frame. "Of the three people there, only one of them shows up in any records. The one in the middle, we believe him to be Ivan Yevensky, one of the old dogs of Russia." He then turned to the map. "'Black Bear' is a codename we've assigned to an unknown; it's been making its way from Ukraine for the last day or so. Since it's a small force, and because we confirmed communications eminating from them to Georgia and Turkey, it's probably an elite guard and high-ranking officer. We assume them to be loyalists."

Great White

Having calculated the Great White's destination, the Army mobile suits were now advancing towards the battle site. The Union battleships were battling the Republic's forces, but now things were going to turn in favor against the Republic...
The commander ordered, "Stay behind the mountain ranges. We shall maintain our element of surprise on the Republic. Leave no Republic signatures behind."
The pilot said, "Confirmed. Awaiting further orders."
The commander finally ordered, "Prepare the first strike in 3...2...1... Now!" And with those words, the Republic forces were being rained on by a surpise hail of shots...

The supression fire directed towards the union locations seemed to be working thay where shuffling positions but hadn't moved forwards.

"Major start prepareing your Wings of Aries for sorties against the union forces here, here, and--" the comand post was suddenly shaken by the impacting rounds for the AOI attack "Report!"

"incoming for from unknown contacts"an officer quickly responded "tracking positions now"

"who the hell are they? we aren't tracking any Union forces in that area?"

"Contacts still unknown, but still unconfirmed"

"fine they want to play hardball we'll play. send 2 aries squads to intersept at that location in the mean time redirect Squads Beta nine through eleven the begin returning fire"

"Gladly"

"Shuffle your forces east, break up the line more! Give them less to shoot at!" The shells came in from the front... an advanced artillery position? How'd the Terrans sneak that in? "We're going to miss the checkpoint at this rate, unless we..."

"Incoming fire from behind!"

Scopes lit up as a sudden barrage of missiles and shells came from behind the mountain. "We're pinned?! Evasive maneuver's, this is..."

"Sir, it's not aimed at us!"

"What?"

The report sailed overhead and into the Terran positions, temporarily slowing down the rate of fire. A few enterprising team leaders took their Tuataras forward to engage the other artillery pieces, clearing a path for the rest.

"Where the hell did that come from?"

"Who cares, they're opening up the line!"

"Could it really be....?"

Great White

Gimbley turned to face the captain. "Sir, a report from eighteen under Duncan! The Terrans have set up forward artillery, and it's slowing the advance considerably. But there are unknowns in the mountains fending them off."

"Unknowns? Mobile suits, or what?"

"Nothing shows up... fire comes out of nowhere. And no one wants to go up there and find out."

"Whoever they are, they're clearly on our side, and we should support them." The radar screen showed several Terran air wings scrambling in the general direction of the mountain teams. "We'll fend them off with our Albatrosses," he stated. "I want available teams to intercept immediately!"

"Sir," reported Rian, "unless our suits make more progress, our own attack will be thrown out of sync. We need to either slow down or head in their direction and relieve them."

"No, we can't change our plans yet," replied Simms. "We will maintain our course. Mobile suits participating in the operation should be prepared to launch in ten minutes. That includes, at a minimum, Allblack, Sirius, and Moloti. Hanger, you copy that?"

In the hanger, Mervin was finishing up final checks on the Gundam as Nelson took a lift up to the cockpit. Laku had left the simulator room at the same time as Star - maybe next time. Adam was already strapped in and ready to go.

"You guys are late!" he called good-naturedly.

"You're certainly in a good mood," Nelson replied as he buckled in. "You going to keep your arm this time?"

"Hah! Thanks for the vote of confidence," Adam said. "While you two were off napping, I thought of a new attack."

"Oh, and is this the solution to all our problems?" asked Laku.

"Well, the plan is to bowl through and leave nothing behind," began Adam, "so I thought we could try something like this." He sent his attack plan to Laku's and Nelson's computers. "It's a three stage attack with no recovery time in between... you guys think you can handle it?"

"Just you wait, I'll make you look like a genius," laughed Laku.

"That's precisely it," said Simms, as she mentioned the TRX program. "I seriously doubt Terra, with its resources, will quietly let two of its Gundams remain rogue. Three, if we assume Hades is acting independently." He then turned his attention to the map, imagining Star's plan unfold. "And as for your plan, that's actually an even stronger move when you consider that it pins them front and back, above and below. Gimbley, relay those orders immediately."

"Yes, sir..." Gimbley said, reaching for his handset. Why's he letting her, of all people, make decisions?

"We're on track to begin in five minutes. Morris, I want a full charge on the forward guns, and prepare surface to ground missiles," ordered Simms. "Rangipapa and the Dingos will launch in three minutes." He turned to Star. "Miz Lynde, you, Jacob, and Jaron are not a part of this command structure, so I do not plan on issuing orders to you, nor would I expect you to follow them. You are free to act at your discretion, although any assistance would be appreciated."

In the hanger, Nelson went over the flight plan with Adam and Laku over their communicators. "When we launch, we'll approach in single file near ground level to avoid radar detection. We'll make a wide sweep so when Great White engages the line, we hit them a kilometer to the east with Adam's attack. The order is Laku, Adam, then me, got it?"

"Why is Simms having us take this route again?" asked Adam.

"It's simple, if they expect us to be with the Great White, it'll throw them into more confusion if we hit somewhere else," Laku replied.

"I hope you guys are done figuring things out, because we're opening the front hatch, and you're jumping out!" yelled Mervin into his comm. "'Twin Spear' is go!"

"Damn it!" colonel Yelensk cursed pull the sags back to these locations keep them out of range of there return fire!" when tis was over someone was going to answer for not detecting that force in the mountains. the unknowns had thrown a wrench in his plans but know that he knew they where there he could do something about it

meenwhile the aries began lighting up targets as they closed on the union positions "all units weapons free fire at will" and with that the first salvo of the battle for arial superiority was fired into the union forces

Albatross units scrambled to avoid the first salvo. The Aries were holding nothing back. Slow responses claimed several units, which fell from the sky in flames. The Union suits issued their response in kind, and soon the two lines crossed and dogfighting began.

Taking advantage of the confusion above, the ground troops resumed their advance forward. Teams now had several minutes to make up thanks to the Terran artillery. Every now and then, one report came flying in from a forward hardpoint, and fire from above was still somewhat dangerous.

Star's orders reached reinforcement Albatross squadrons straggling behind the battle. "What's that, he wants us to dip and come around? I guess it's a good plan..." Union units began to swoop down below the radar line and continue progress. They would either run into Terrans doing the same, or this would actually work.

The forward Albatross units raised their altitude to try and bring the fight up. If the Terrans chose to ignore them for the ground targets, they risked being on the receiving end of diving run, which was hard to defend against.

"50 minutes to target area, weapons hot and ready to fire, systems all green" Holland said over the radio finishing the last checks "all green here to" Luna replied. The two of them were flying at the high altitudes trying to get above the range of republic radar installations. Hopefully it would work, also higher altitude means less air, which in tern gave more speed.

Now Rian's console lit up as new signals appeared. They were faint... just the right size for mobile suits. But whose? "Unknown acquired!" she reported. "Two high altitude signals approaching rapidly, ETA is 45 minutes!"

"What, there's more?" asked Simms, bewildered.

"Another unknown is behind them, coming in more slowly, it might be the carrier," said Rian. "'Black Bear' is one hour behind them."

Now Simms was in a tight spot. The timing was all wrong. We engage in ten minutes, then fifteen minutes later, staggered attacks along the rest of the line begin... all engaged within fifty minutes, but the new guys will be here. And if we take too long, 'Black Bear' makes it in time... Damn it, we can't afford a protracted fight!

"Message from Alb leaders," said Gimbley. "They'll need two more minutes to get into position. Forward Tuatara groups are still facing Terran hardpoints."

"Assign 'Bravo 1' and 'Bravo 2' to the unknowns, and leave them for now," Simms replied. "We're losing time we don't have. The best way to counter them is to be done before they get here... Have Tuatara groups move timetables forward as much as possible."

At the front of the ship, Nelson and Adam made their descents first, one coming out of each hanger. Nelson had switched in a weapons pack for the flight one; he now packed leg-mounted micromissiles, shoulder-mounted artillery similar to Adam's, and a battery for extended beam rifle life. He and Adam made progress on ground with Laku flying low alongside them. "We're all clear!" Nelson radioed. "Proceeding as planned."

Along the rest of the line, progress was hard to come by. Terran resistance showed no sign of faltering.

"He wants us to move faster? One thing at a time!"

"Hey, it's our job to get the captain what he wants, we'll just need to be more aggressive. A few hits are fine, and you can shoot Terries without a left arm!"

"Think we will get there in time?" Luna asked as she was semi-relaxed in here cockpit "Don't know for sure but we got russians right behind us i'd like to get to the party before they do, most likely we are looking at engagment by allied forces within five minutes, 40 minutes after we engage" Holland told her as he was keeping his eyes peeled. Outside it was still cold, and cloudy, and it seemed the clouds got darker as they kept going.

It was time. Jacob now knew what it was he wanted, he wanted to end all battles he came across. If he had the power of Terra at his side, it was more than possible. The question was though, how far would he allow himself to go out and fight? "Should this be my responsiblity? Am I the only one capable?" He left that question open and entered the Terra. "If I cannot help my friends... maybe I can at least help many others..." The thought of how his encounter with Star and the others still lingered with him, and he was going to be thinking about it for a while. As soon as the Gundam activated, he flew off towards the battle fray...
When Jacob found the massive Terran ranks, his first reaction was to draw out an energy blast. It destroyed a dozen mobile suits (8 Gemini's and 4 Sags) in the process and Terra took to the air to engage the Aries's. He drew out a sword for battle. He dashed past a whole squadron of them and six of them exploded in mid-air. As soon as he touched the ground, Jacob saw many mobile suits firing towards him. He flew back to avoid the shots but was still dangerously close to the chaos. With many Terran mobile suits remaining, Jacob had a large fight on his hands. This would have gone uninterrupted if it had not been for a certain explosion later...

Battlefield

The Terran Army was taken by surprise from the attack by the AOI. This was the advantage they had always had over the Republic, and one reason that the Republic hadn't fully conquered the Muslim lands. They would however, have to continue to use this advantage and avoid the Republic's retaliation. It was obviously believed by the Union members that the Republic had new adversaries on the front, but the question remained if this would end the battle sometime soon...
The Army Commander ordered, "Avoid fire!" At these words, the Army mobile suits ducked in the mountains to avoid the Republic's response to the surprise attack. The mountains proved to be relaible cover, but the Union would remain at a disadvantage if the Army stalled the attack any longer. It was time to use a major decider... "Unit 12! It is time for you to make good of yourself!" The pilot of Unit 12 knew what this meant... It was time for him to proove himself a true warrior for the Army... a martyr...
The pilot answered, "Understood sir. I am willing!" After saying this, the Army mobile suit placed a belt of explosives around itself. The unit moved into position to begin its dash forward.
The commander ordered, "All units! Watch Unit 12! Make sure he reaches the mass of the Terran mobile suits! After his work is done, we will resume the attack to drive the Republic out of here!"
The Army pilots agreed, "Yes sir!"
The pilot rushed forward into where many Republic mobile suits were, and shouted, "ALLAHUUUUUUUUU AKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!" And with those words, the mobile suit exploded, taking all of the Terran mobile suits surrounding it with it...
After the explosion gathered smoke, the Army commander ordered, "Attack! Fire into the enemy! Show no mercy!" Amid the chaos among Republic ranks, the Army fired another volley into their enemies...

Stockholm Palace, Scandinavia

The Generals of the Scandinavian Mobile Suit Military was meeting with the King to discuss the next strategic move against Terra. General Eluf Rasmus told them, "Now that we have the assistance of the Red Dawn movement, we can attack the Republic territories with more support behind the common people and with more speed.
King Ragnvald asked, "What is our current standing in Russia as of now?"
General Steffen Helge answered, "We have possession of the divisions of Murmansk and Karelia. If we can continue the push forward, we can free the larger cities and help liberate Europe from Terran control."
General Rasmus suggested, "Perhaps we should begin an attack on Arkhangelsk or Leningrad. We will be able to restore the rest of the Federation if we press nearer to Europe."
The King was pleased to hear that the invasion was going smoothly, but he was still concerned, and perhpas with good reason. "For some reason this seems easier than it should be..." He thought to himself.

"Captain, the prince is requesting clearance to launch!" reported Gimbley.

Simms allowed himself a little grin, and then he swept his arm forward. "Granted!" he said. "Terra may fight at its discretion!" With this, the Great White would have help as it came within range of the Terran line in front of them. Jacob went to work immediately. Now then, Miz Lynde, how far will you follow that man?

"Captain, I'll have full charge in thirty seconds," said Morris.

"See if you can't find a thick pocket to aim the first shot at," replied Simms.

"Oh, I plan on it."

Terra's entry into the battle also helped Simms' plan at its most basic level, since now the Terrans in this area would be focused on it. In a few moments, east of the ship, the three Union suits would be in position to start their run.

"Hey Nelson, I just got Jacob's signal, he's in this!" Adam radioed. "Think it's about time we show ourselves?"

"Sounds good," Nelson replied, activating his beam rifle. "Let's see if your plan works."

"Let's see how they handle this!" chimed Laku, pulling up her targeting system. As soon as they emerged from cover, she had a few seconds to fire her missiles. She'd use a pack's worth to punch a hole wide enough for them to get through. As they flew through in the confusion, Adam would strafe with his gatling. Remaining suits would be picked off by Nelson, as they dodged Adam's shots directly into his line of fire.

"Here we go!" shouted Adam. "JET STREAM ATTACK!!"

The commander ordered, "All units! Watch Unit 12! Make sure he reaches the mass of the Terran mobile suits! After his work is done, we will resume the attack to drive the Republic out of here!"
The Army pilots agreed, "Yes sir!"
The pilot rushed forward into where many Republic mobile suits were, and shouted, "ALLAHUUUUUUUUU AKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!" And with those words, the mobile suit exploded, taking all of the Terran mobile suits surrounding it with it...
After the explosion gathered smoke, the Army commander ordered, "Attack! Fire into the enemy! Show no mercy!" Amid the chaos among Republic ranks, the Army fired another volley into their enemies...

More and more blips were showing up on the battlefield now, but these signals were known. And the suicide attack drew everyone's attention. "Sir, we've confirmed Army of Islam!" reported Rian. "They're the ones in the mountains!"

They've joined us! Simms thought. He grabbed his comm. "Thirteen, come in, you're in that area, right? I want you to cover their advance!"

"Easier said than done!" came the reply. "Aries came in out of nowhere... but we've been wanting to shoot some big game!"

So Lynde suggested one of their own tactics to use against them... Simms glanced at the map. The Albatrosses he'd ordered around earlier were preparing to spring the trap. Nelson, Adam, and Laku had just begun their attack while Jacob created trouble in front of the ship. In ten minutes, the rest of the teams would begin engagements in similar fashion. A few would create trouble, gather Terran responders to them, and then the next waves would appear, catching them in a pocket. But the timing was critical.

"Captain, the prince is requesting clearance to launch!" reported Gimbley.

Simms allowed himself a little grin, and then he swept his arm forward. "Granted!" he said. "Terra may fight at its discretion!" With this, the Great White would have help as it came within range of the Terran line in front of them. Jacob went to work immediately. Now then, Miz Lynde, how far will you follow that man?

"Captain, I'll have full charge in thirty seconds," said Morris.

"See if you can't find a thick pocket to aim the first shot at," replied Simms.

"Oh, I plan on it."

Terra's entry into the battle also helped Simms' plan at its most basic level, since now the Terrans in this area would be focused on it. In a few moments, east of the ship, the three Union suits would be in position to start their run.

"Hey Nelson, I just got Jacob's signal, he's in this!" Adam radioed. "Think it's about time we show ourselves?"

"Sounds good," Nelson replied, activating his beam rifle. "Let's see if your plan works."

"Let's see how they handle this!" chimed Laku, pulling up her targeting system. As soon as they emerged from cover, she had a few seconds to fire her missiles. She'd use a pack's worth to punch a hole wide enough for them to get through. As they flew through in the confusion, Adam would strafe with his gatling. Remaining suits would be picked off by Nelson, as they dodged Adam's shots directly into his line of fire.

"Here we go!" shouted Adam. "JET STREAM ATTACK!!"

Star noted Jacobs launce and was torn. She was a fighter killing is waht she knew and the darkstar catered to that, but it wasn't her fight and since no one was ordering her ot she felt no desier to go join the killing. That was untill Jacob launched.

Damn him to hell the boy had no thought for his own safty and what he ment to both the Terrans and the freedon fighters... and to her. she quickly turned and ran to the hanger shoving aside anyone not fast enough to get out of her way and forgoing the flight suit and evven the preflight check hopped into the Darkstar and launched ignoring any form of procedure not even waiting for the catapult launched using only the Daarkstars power streaking across the sky towards the battle feild

As she neared she locked onto a group of mobile suits aproaching Jacobs position and charging her Heavy Beam cannon Blasted them into oblivion before landing directly in Jacobs line of fire "You Leave my prince Alone!" she yelled at no one in particular as she fired another shor into the aproaching racnks sending another group to a firey death as she locked a dosen missiles onto the nearest G3's turning them into nothing but scrap metal maintaining a guard position over Jacob

The Suicide bomber didn't strike a near a fatal blow as Star and Jacob where causing on there own but the intimidation factor of it was wreaking havoc on moral. it was one thing to strap them to your own cheast but to a multi million dollar peice of equipment was just insane.

The aries Tore into the AOI ranks raining down fire as they doged return fire the one faceing the union where worse off with the 2 sided attack the first pass of the union suits taking out more than the terrans where comfortable with... how dare they use there own tactics against them

"Sir... both the Terra and the Darkstar are on the feild"

IC:

She still cared about him... Jacob heard Star shout down to the Terran mobile suits and recognized the passion in her voice. Now he knew there was care in Star's heart for him, but now was not the time to worry about it... Jacob had to continue fighting... He had to help save the Union Remnant...

OOC: Time to bring back an old friend...

IC: The dark figure looming over the battlefield watched as the Terrans and the Union Remnant continued fighting. "So Terra... You find yourself questioning yourself about your role in the war..." At these words, the figure conjured a ball of black energy from its hand and fired it down, intending to hit Star's Darkstar...
While Jacob was fighting the continuing hordes of Terran mobile suits, he turned around to see Star still fighting, but there was a ray of black energry falling down on her. Jacob turned around and shouted, "STAAAAARRR!!!" and flew up just in time to fire energy from Terra's hand to block the black energy...
The figure took this oppourtunity to distract Jacob and dove down to the ground and formed an energy sword. It was diving down towards the Great White, too fast for any turret fire to hit it. Jacob saw the dark figure storming down and speeded towards it while forming his own energy sword. The dark figure began a slash to destroy the Great White and slice it in half at the core, but one got a scratch on the ship thanks to Jacob's quick reaction. He blocked the continued slice by connecting to the dark figure's, only to later recognize what it was... "Hades?!"
The figure flew back and Jacob's guess was correct. The mysterious black Gundam "Hades" had now appeared before him again.
The Hades answered, "Yes boy... If you will let me be, I will continue to do you a favor..."
Jacob asked, "What kind of favor? What kind of favor is destroying my friends?!"
Hades answered, "I will end your purpose for fighting in this meaningless war. Join me, and we can end it all... We can achieve things greater than you could imagine..."
Jacob told the Hades, "If it means abandonning the ones I love like you say, then I will forever decline!" Jacob flew towards Hades intending to slice it in half, but instead found himself in another duel. The Hades and Terra struck at one another, and no damage was done to one or the other. The swords were connected in another dead heat, and Jacob asked Hades, "What things do you have in store for me?! Why are you so keen on using me in what plans you have?!"
Hades answered, "I can make you ruler of a new mankind if you serve me... I will make your name eternal, and all will bow before you... All this if you will follow me!" Jacob could not understand what it was Hades was implying. Making him ruler of mankind? He could only continue to guess what it was Hades wanted to do with him. But if it would always involve the destruction of those he loved, he would not accept any such offer. The duel continued....

The Army pilots continued a duck and cover while returning fire with the Republic. In the midst of it all though, they saw the mighty figure of the Hades attacking no one in particular. Seeing this struck fear on everyone on the battlefield.
One pilot asked, "Did you see what that monster is capable of?"
Another asked, "What in the Hell is that thing?!"
The Captain told his fellow pilots, "It's that thing from the Zagros! What is its purpose here?"

Rian's eyes opened wide as a new signal suddenly appeared on the battlefield... nearly on top of them! "Incoming mobile suit!" she shouted, turning to Simms. "It's Hades!"

A bead of sweat ran down Simms' face. He hadn't accounted for that! "Damn, bring up Mervin's beam bubble!"

Hades was already well on its way to cleaving the ship in two. "Too late, it's going to...!!" Rian gasped.

There was a huge flash as Jacob intercepted the behemoth. "We're outclassed; helm, get us clear!" ordered Simms. "Seventy degrees left! We'll leave this to the prince, but we can't abandon Lynde, either!" Hades and Jacob would control the center for now. They would have to rely on Nelson, Laku, and Adam to their right. If Hades wasn't contained, the rest of his attack was in jeopardy. Seven minutes...

Simms sighed. If she ever admits to herself what she's going through is all right, she'll be even more dangerous than she is now... He turned to the computer. "Mister Morris, there's a Terran column on the left side that shouldn't be there."

"Roger that," Morris said, licking his chops. "Main cannon, FIRE!"

the blast slammed into the ranks incinerating the first several units before the power had disipated enough to only cause massive dammage and lessening degrees as the blast tore through

while the column was desimated it was far from destroyed and the remaining units spread out to avoid a repead of what had just happened

"Sir," reported Gimbley. "Forces in this area are starting to shift in this direction... I think they want the Gundams."

Simms smiled. If they could last a few more minutes, his plan would work perfectly. "Alb wings reporting in, they've evened the fight out in the air," continued Rian, holding her headset close so that she didn't miss a word. "We achieved surprise."

On the battlefield, things were getting intense in the air. The Albatross team rising up cut a path through the Aries, and as they passed, the others started a dive through. With few ways to run, mobile suits started falling left and right, although coordinating the attack was difficult, so there was the occasional friendly fire.

the aries strugled to regroup but the crisscrossing attacks where just hammering away at there numbers there attempts at manuvering away had failed as the Albatross units whre able to keep up so it was time for something more drastic

"captain Vekman. on the next pass take your squads and follow one of the groups we'll follow the other... we have to seperate them or they'll just keep raking at us"

"agreed Captain Lekwitz. on your mark then"

there where several tence moments were another couple more suits fell on both sides as the Union suits made there aproach "hold... hold...Now!" he yelled as the Albatross units tore past this time with the Aries units close behind Blasting into there rears as they appempted to pull away.

"What about Allblack's team?" asked Simms, turning his attention to the right side.

"They're engaging now!"

Laku swooped low and blew the cover off her first of two missile packs. They screamed towards the Sag line as she pulled up, with Adam and Nelson following with gatling and beam rifle ready to fire...

The Sagitaius units wheretorn apart by the first strike and the line faltered for amoment as they recovered from the blasts only to come face to facewith Nelson and Adams fire returning there own in kind blasting apart the mountain side as the 2 aproached

She still cared about him... Jacob heard Star shout down to the Terran mobile suits and recognized the passion in her voice. Now he knew there was care in Star's heart for him, but now was not the time to worry about it... Jacob had to continue fighting... He had to help save the Union Remnant...

Star got that tingling sensation that she was under attack moments before her alarms screamed there alerts guiving her just enough time to dodge making Jacobs counter attack pointless but apreciated for what it ment none the less

she watched in helpless horror as the 2 tore into each other once again this time perfictly matched as the hammered away both perfictly blocking eachothers attacks.

star launched into the air trying to train her weapon on Hades to get off a shot but with the speed they where moving she couldn't risk Hitting jacob with a stray shot. She screemed in fustration and blasted another hole in the terran ranks to disipate the charge bult up in her weapon before drawing her new beam sabers and launched herself towards the two ready to attack if she hit Hades or to shove Jacob away if she hit him ready to turn her now insanely focused rage towards Hades

"you leave him alone!" she yelled the moment before she colided with whoever

"Time till interception, 37 minutes, with the current rate of republic fall back that could get to about 25-30 minutes, visual on the target zone in six minutes" Holland said over the radio as he reconfirmed current projections from his cockpit instraments and using his head a little. One thing Holland and every one else was wondering was just how bad the battle would get, would the republic try and cover this defeat up with a orbital strike? or will they shift troops? both sitations the TP main force had already taken precausions for how ever Holland and the others did not know that yet.

Ivan watched as the transpot streaked overhead with its 2 escorts aparently they hadn't seen them wich was a good thing the wearther mst be masking there signatures along with the much loser energy output

they where roughly an hour out and they where alread picking up the edges of the battle but since it was only the republic side so far they weren't learning much as of yet but it was enough to start planing where they would make ther insertion

Hades shrugged as it detected Star heading towards it. "This bothersome one must be dealt with." Hades dodged Star's attack and struck a blow in the Darkstar's back with its elbow. Jacob saw the Darkstar fall to the ground, but did not take his focus off of Hades. He saw what it wanted to do. It wanted to destroy everything Jacob held dear... He wouldn't allow it. Jacob shouted, "You have harmed her for too long!!!" and thrust himself forward slicing at Hades. Though Hades was preparing to destroy Star once and for all, he was interrupted when Jacob made a swipe past him. As the swipe was complete, the hands of Hades came flying off... Hades and Terra saw each other on the ground once again. Jacob pointed his sword at hades and told him, "You cannot offer me anything that will make me allow the destruction of those I hold dear! Especially Star!"
Hades understood this and said, "Very well then young Prince..." At these words, the hands that flew off of Hades came flying back to him. Though not fully repaired, they did appear more than functional, as it was demonstrating with its hands. "If I cannot destroy these people in your presence, perhaps I can destroy something just as precious..." Hades left the implication as it flew up again, and looked menacingly at the battlefield. It knew that destroying Star and the Great White was impossible, but it could easily make an escape using the battlefield... Black energy formed from its hands, and Hades told Jacob, "You will be given more chances in the future young Prince. If you do not accept any of my offers in the future, then the fate of this planet will not be decided by our cooperation, but by our final meeting..." At these words, it fired into the battlefield, destroying many mobile suits and ships, Union, Army, and Terran alike, and made a flight across the dive. Within seconds, it was once again out of the battle range detection...

"What has just happened?"
"That thing just blasted a path through the battlefield as if it were a knife on the softest butter..."
"Did you see what its hands were capable of?"
"Not only that, it does not take into account of who it is targeting. Who is that monster fighting for?"
The Captain was just as uneasy as his fellow pilots when they talked about the power the Hades had just demonstrated. He reminded them though, "We must ask such questions once the battle is over! The Terrans are in very weak numbers now, we have the advantage! Begin the advance!"
They all agreed, "Yes sir!"
As the Army advanced forward, they used the wreckage of the destroyed Terran ships to cover themselves from the reamining Terran ranks instead of the mountains...

"No, wait, they're hurting and not willing to fight anymore... we should stay with the ground forces and help them advance."

"We're going to let them regroup?"

"Let them. An air force is only as useful as the ground troops it supports. If we don't help our guys get into position, everything we've done will be pointless. And with the Army of Islam's assistance, we might have the numbers we need!"

The Sagitaius units wheretorn apart by the first strike and the line faltered for amoment as they recovered from the blasts only to come face to facewith Nelson and Adams fire returning there own in kind blasting apart the mountain side as the 2 aproached

Adam and Nelson fired back as the bullets came in thick. A few frontline units were hit, but not seriously enough to take them out. "Damn, I thought that would work!" shouted Adam.

"We started it too far away," replied Nelson. "We needed to be up there as soon as those missiles hit... if we hit them immediately, they'd have been sunk!" He checked his scope. "Laku, a little help?"

Laku was circling overhead, taking a shot every now and then with her machine gun, dodging the occasional shot fired her way. She had to save her remaining missile pack in case Aries showed up. "I'm trying!" she yelled, banking into the clouds. "We didn't time that right at all!"

Nelson gritted his teeth and pulled up his console. "I didn't want to use it against these guys, but as long as we're alone out here..." He keyed the Beta command and waited for the initial shock of the connection. When it didn't come, he opened his eyes and tracked the enemy suits. They seemed like they were going slower. "Don't underestimate our Gundam!" he said, firing his beam rifle into the mass. The first shot cleanly beheaded a Gemini...

"Distance closing only a little longer to go, 25 alright go over your systems one more tiem Luna I can see the battle clearly and its looking rough" HOlland said over the radio to Luna as he also began a final systems check. He wanted to double and even tripple check that every thing works completly. Once the checks were finished then they would be maybe 20 minutes out and they will then drop altitude.

On the bridge of the Great White, Simms eyed the monitors closely. The Terrans were pulling towards Jacob and Star, but they were still arrayed all over the border. Time to put his plan into action; the Tuataras were reaching their waypoints. "Begin skirmishing as planned!" he ordered.

At various places along the line, teams began to pop out of the mountains and launch attacks on the Terrans. The teams were small... 20-30 suits apiece. Now it was up to the Terrans to respond. The goal was to make them think these units had messed up the timing, so they would attempt to divide and conquer the Union attackers by focusing on these points...

Hades shrugged as it detected Star heading towards it. "This bothersome one must be dealt with." Hades dodged Star's attack and struck a blow in the Darkstar's back with its elbow. Jacob saw the Darkstar fall to the ground, but did not take his focus off of Hades. He saw what it wanted to do. It wanted to destroy everything Jacob held dear... He wouldn't allow it. Jacob shouted, "You have harmed her for too long!!!" and thrust himself forward slicing at Hades. Though Hades was preparing to destroy Star once and for all, he was interrupted when Jacob made a swipe past him. As the swipe was complete, the hands of Hades came flying off... Hades and Terra saw each other on the ground once again. Jacob pointed his sword at hades and told him, "You cannot offer me anything that will make me allow the destruction of those I hold dear! Especially Star!"
Hades understood this and said, "Very well then young Prince..." At these words, the hands that flew off of Hades came flying back to him. Though not fully repaired, they did appear more than functional, as it was demonstrating with its hands. "If I cannot destroy these people in your presence, perhaps I can destroy something just as precious..." Hades left the implication as it flew up again, and looked menacingly at the battlefield. It knew that destroying Star and the Great White was impossible, but it could easily make an escape using the battlefield... Black energy formed from its hands, and Hades told Jacob, "You will be given more chances in the future young Prince. If you do not accept any of my offers in the future, then the fate of this planet will not be decided by our cooperation, but by our final meeting..." At these words, it fired into the battlefield, destroying many mobile suits and ships, Union, Army, and Terran alike, and made a flight across the dive. Within seconds, it was once again out of the battle range detection...

when Star picked herself up off the ground she wasn't just angry she was enraged she didn't need Jacobs help she would have been fine she was ready to fire every remaining missile at him and at theet range he would have been toast but there he was Mr. i-have-to-fix-everyhing-myself denying her her kill

she screamed in fustration and drawing her Beamsword Charged right into the thickest part of the ranks hacking at anythnig and everything that got in her way cutting a path of distruction before they closed in behind her

"What has just happened?"
"That thing just blasted a path through the battlefield as if it were a knife on the softest butter..."
"Did you see what its hands were capable of?"
"Not only that, it does not take into account of who it is targeting. Who is that monster fighting for?"
The Captain was just as uneasy as his fellow pilots when they talked about the power the Hades had just demonstrated. He reminded them though, "We must ask such questions once the battle is over! The Terrans are in very weak numbers now, we have the advantage! Begin the advance!"
They all agreed, "Yes sir!"
As the Army advanced forward, they used the wreckage of the destroyed Terran ships to cover themselves from the reamining Terran ranks instead of the mountains...

"colonel the AOI units are pouring into the hole the Hades made"

"Order the reserves forwards contain them damn it" the Hades hadn't been a blessing after all it had enguaged the Terra and Darkstar for a few minutes but then blasted through both union and terran ranks alike without discrimination "whats going on along the rest of the lines?

The gunnery crew cheered as the shot hit, sending parts flying in all directions as the front of the line was decimated. "That'll break them up!" said Simms. "See if you can't use the smaller guns to keep them moving. We just need to buy a few more minutes for the rest to get into position..."

The units scrambled to dodge the fire from the secondary guns "command we need some cover here we're getting torn to shreds out here!"

"hang tightwe're detailing a squad of aries to cover you ETA 3 mins"

"Damn, they're pulling away! All units, roundabout, after them!"

"No, wait, they're hurting and not willing to fight anymore... we should stay with the ground forces and help them advance."

"We're going to let them regroup?"

"Let them. An air force is only as useful as the ground troops it supports. If we don't help our guys get into position, everything we've done will be pointless. And with the Army of Islam's assistance, we might have the numbers we need!"

"there bugging out!"

"well dont just stand there hunt them down!"

"with pleasure" the remaining squads broke off into there half squads of 6 units each and tore after the union units blasting away with every remaining missile and avalable gun they had there smaller groups alowing to attack from multiple vectors as they now returned the hammering they had receaved

Adam and Nelson fired back as the bullets came in thick. A few frontline units were hit, but not seriously enough to take them out. "Damn, I thought that would work!" shouted Adam.

"We started it too far away," replied Nelson. "We needed to be up there as soon as those missiles hit... if we hit them immediately, they'd have been sunk!" He checked his scope. "Laku, a little help?"

"Distance to ground zero 17, weapons range in 15 alright here we go, dropping altitude to 5,000 feet and preparing for enemy contact" Holland said as they got closer and closer by the minute. Republic forces no doubt were going to intercept them as they got close. However this is what they wanted to draw the republic lines even thinner.

The area around Great White was now alive as Army of Islam, Union, and Terran mobile suits all poured fire into each other. The Army had apparently marched into the opening to divide up the Terrans. The first of the Union troops following the ship now engaged, giving the Terrans multiple angles of attack to deal with.

"Captain, Aries squadrons are heading this way, we've got a few minutes tops!" said Gimbley.

"Hades has disappeared from the scope entirely," continued Rian. "The prince did it!"

"Good..." said Simms. "Morris, get surface-to-air missiles ready to fire. Gimbley, see if Moloti has anything left for a quick hit and run!"

"there bugging out!"

"well dont just stand there hunt them down!"

"with pleasure" the remaining squads broke off into there half squads of 6 units each and tore after the union units blasting away with every remaining missile and avalable gun they had there smaller groups alowing to attack from multiple vectors as they now returned the hammering they had receaved

"Idiots... we let you live!" Albatross squadron leaders watched as the Terran suits peeled back and launched another attack in groups. The bullets came thick and fast, but the time between the initial retreat and counterattack was too much. Given the distance between them, most Albatross suits were able to dodge the incoming blasts, although a few were caught not paying attention. The missiles were easily dispatched with flares or chaff.

"Persistent assholes... we can play that game, too!"

"Negative, Alb leader!"

"Captain Simms?!"

Simms watched the radar screen intently as he radioed his squadron leaders. "You need to keep their Aries busy while our ground troops launch their attacks."

"But sir, we can't leave these guys flying around up here!"

"They've used a lot of ammo already attacking ground targets," Simms began, "so they'll run out before you. When that happens, they'll have to pull back, and then you can pursue. Until then, bleed them slowly. Be patient, and you'll win!"

The Sagitarious units where hoopedthey just wernt ment for this kind of close combat. the squad leaders began ordering theem to fallback as the suporting Gemini's moved forwards to take on Adam and Nelson none of them considering Laku an actual threatthe moved forwards blocking what the couldn't dodge with there sheilds the ocasional suit still going down but in a mater of minutes they had closed the distance andraised there beam sabers ready to strike

Laku continued to fire her machine gun from above, but only once did a suit collapse from damage, and that was because she'd landed a lucky hit. Adam fared better, but once the Sags got in front with their shields, he too had to pull back. His shoulder cannons did more damage, and one particularly good shot tore a Sag's arm away, shield and all.

"We're losing ground, Nels!" Adam yelled, sending another artillery round into a frontline unit. "I really screwed this one up!"

Nelson was still concentrating on his aim. The shields were no problem for his beam rifle, but they had brought too many forward to guard the advance. He wasn't picking them off fast enough. The sharper his concentration, the stronger the dull pangs that hit the back of his head, which didn't help. "Damn it... not enough..." He opened up with his leg pods, which sent a barrage of micromissiles at the incoming Geminis.

And if that didn't work, he had a twin-bladed beam saber that was itching for action.

"Sir! multiple contacts... there alover the place!"

"Damn it! order the reserves forwards reinforce the lines here, here, here, and here. shift units from here to cover them. i want this fight over with...CRUSH them!"

Fire bit into the mountainside. One Tuatara fell, getting off one final shot on the way down. A bazooka shot hurled towards the Terran line, blowing the legs out from beneath a Gemini.

"They're moving up on us... good, right on schedule!"

Behind the front lines, other suits were shuffling into position. The second wave was ready to join in...

A lone plane sheered across the horizion towards the Great White, inside was Prime Minister Roland Fespute, his friend Alex Rander, and two others. They were not traveling for luxury, but for speed, and stealth.....

"Amazing how Europe is able to now stand on its feet and reinvent something useful...." Alex remarked to the other people inside.

"Juste quelques modifications aux moteurs, au carburant de qualité supérieur, et à l'addition du matériel plat plus léger, la Concorde peuvent voler au mach 3 sans dommages." replied a French ambassador.

"He basicly is saying that with adjustments, the Concorde is faster and quieter. And with the addition of cloaking technology, it makes a great stealth plane to get to places even faster." Roland translated.

"As we left the Venitian conference, it seemed that other planes were flying backwards." Alex replied.

"Yes, and if we continue to go three times the speed of sound, we should be able to arrive at the Great White about and hour and thirty minutes before we left." Roland commented...... "But the conference was worth it, as we to also got the message from the Russians, and are engaging the Terra forces near the Russia/Poland border. And it seemes that as a confederation we are economicly united, Paris is also back to its former glory, so everything for once seemes to be going on very well."

"Le capitan m'a informé que que nous devrions arriver bientôt au grand blanc, et à la dissimulation soyez bientôt laissez vers le haut." interupted the French ambassador.

The plane accelerated a bit and then resumed its former speed.

"It seemes that we have once again broken the sound barrier, so we should be arriving soon." Roland thought.

"You think that they have been through much since we left, especially the Jacob, Hades conflict?" Alex asked Roland.

"I have much confidence in him, as well as Star, Nelson, and everyone else on board the Great White." Roland replied.

As the Concorde broke the sound barrier, the loud bang that presumed could be heard for miles around, it however, was still cloaked, and as it slowed down to the Great White on the horizion, they brought the bright future of Europe with them.

OOC: I was POW at my workplace. Thankfully it's over for the week. Speaking of which, my folks are dragging me down to South Carolina to meet with my grandparents tomorrow for Christmas. I may not be able to log on here for a while, so a temporary fill-in will be needed.

IC: As the Hades left the battlefield, Jacob eventually lost sight of it. It was not of any concern to him right now, there was still a battle at hand. Despite Hades's destruction of many fighting forces, there was still a fairly large battle taking place. Despite so much destruction, there was still fighting going on... Jacob was now going to change that by all means possible.

Jacob looked up and said, "This will not go on!!!" Jacob flew towards the battlefield while sending a blast of energy into the Terran ranks. Many were destroyed, and he went to focus on the leading ranks. It was one Gundam against almost an army to bring down a small country. But Jacob had the advantage as he used his psychic powers on the Terrans. First he lifted a pillar out of the ground and threw it towards the grounds units, destroying more, and created many smaller pillars to throw into the Aries squadrons. Finally, Jacob flew towards the Terran Command ships and used the scrap of the destroyed ship the Army of Islam was using for cover to send the parts flying through the ships still flying. After they flew through, he shot another blast of energy through them in hopes of ending the Terran's will to fight...

"ma'am minimum distance acheaved target zone locked the Samurai are ready to drop on your command"

Captain Itami Takigawa paused for a moment this was it other than the somewhat suspect loyalties of the Phoenix it was doubtful that anyone else knew about there existance the breif skirmish with the Terran ship wouldn't have been enough to identify them but the terrans would likely recognize them again if they saw them. even though the Alliance had officially surrendered the Dojo and its Crew where acting outside of the command structure now quite similar to the unions successor army and the great white not that the alliance knew about that.

As Terran teams locked onto their aggressors, new Union squads would pop up and send in fire from a new angle. Behind the action, Albatross squadrons kept Terran Aries busy with evasive tactics. Near Great White, teams coming around the right side had finally linked up. Nelson, Adam, and Laku finally had some help, with strong fire suddenly pouring down on the advancing Geminis who thought they were clear. Closer to the ship, Union reinforcements tried to draw some fire away from the Army of Islam units, which had pushed forward quickly into a pocket opened up by Hades. Simms was running out of units to commit, but the plan to attack in pockets seemed to be working - Terran units were scrambling to respond to each new appearance, losing more suits in the chaos than they would otherwise. Star and Jacob's tireless fighting didn't give the Terrans any time to breathe and re-evaluate the situation.

"I won't lose to them!" Nelson declared to himself, drawing his beam sabers and charging into the Terran line.

"Nels, take it easy, we have help!" yelled Adam, taking this chance to regroup with the newcomers and direct organized fire on the enemy.

"Tell you what, you watch my back, and I'll open up a nice big hole for you," he said, launching into the fray. The beta system whirred and, once again, time seemed to slow down. His head throbbed, but it wasn't too bad - he could see his path. In a smooth motion, he fired his thrusters and cut through five Gemini units, weaving through the Terran line with no second thoughts.

"Things are going well, captain!" reported Rian. "Teams are engaging as planned, and the Terran movements suggest confusion."

There was a lot of battle to keep track of, and Simms decided that he was lucky. Jacob had driven off Hades in minutes, although their inability to detect it was still unnerving. He and Star had destabilized a lot of the Terran line, buying his own teams precious time to move into position. Even the Aries crisis had been resolved with some help from Star and the skills and grit of his pilots. Black Bear was still forty minutes behind the action. But that meant...

"New signals!" called Gimbley.

"Damn, are Bravo 1 and 2 here already?" asked Simms. "I'd lost track of them... see if Thorstein and Lynde are..."

"No, different ones!" said Gimbley. "Five more approaching from behind the Terran line, it looked like they just dropped in!"

"A drop?!" Simms cried. A total of seven individual units? They had to be Gundams... all of a sudden, his entire force was compromised. "Notify Thorstein, Lynde, and Allblack! Our own units should prepare to hold back and begin suppressive fire!"

"sir i'm running low on missils and battery power"

Captain Lekwitz looked at his own screens getting the same answers "damn it Beta squad fall back for resupply we will cover you charlie will follow on your return the rest conserve bower and ammo as long as you can fire only if you have a solid lock and a clean shot. if you must, engage in close combat but no one leaves without my authorization anyone who does i will shoot down myself"

fresh units began moving in cycling out the spend units fro resupply and in some cases field repairs the republic was hurting but it was far from spent even with Star slaughtering in the center of a massive formation the scrap heap around her steadily growing with falling suits as Jacob rained his own destruction the Aries easly avoiding the flying rocks the larger ones decimating the squads they hit but the ranks where just filling back up... the only problem was the lack of a response for there calls for re-enforcements which was strange in the extream

Ther aries screamed across the sky launching a salvo of missiles at the great white not even bothering to target anything spackif just anything that looked important weither its weapons the hanger or the engins roughly 2 dozen missiles slamed into the ship the aries breaking off going in multiple directions as they wheeled around coming back for another run

The ship creaked and tilted to the right, absorbing the impact of the blow. A handful of missiles found their targets, and AA guns chased the Aries away as they passed over the deck. Missiles aimed at their backs were easily dispatched with flares.

"Damage report!" yelled Simms.

"Sections nine and fifteen reporting heavy damage!" replied Rian, frantically getting the ship's status on one of her monitors. "Right side hanger and engine have taken damage as well."

Equipment in the hanger had been thrown in all directions. Mervin scrambled to his feet. "What the hell are those gunners doing?!" he shouted. "Higgsy, you okay over there?"

the half squads of aries weaved in and out trying to get shots off on the evading Albatross units ocasionaly getting lucky but the albatross units apeared to be reserving fire to more clear shots insted of the overwhelm tactics of the republic

"sir i'm running low on missils and battery power"

Captain Lekwitz looked at his own screens getting the same answers "damn it Beta squad fall back for resupply we will cover you charlie will follow on your return the rest conserve bower and ammo as long as you can fire only if you have a solid lock and a clean shot. if you must, engage in close combat but no one leaves without my authorization anyone who does i will shoot down myself"

"Sir, they're running low!"

"Good, continue your maneuvers! Get the word out to the front that the Aries coming through are empty and ripe for the picking!" The last groups of Tuataras waiting to engage would get some early target practice.

Now it was a waiting game. Neither force was in a position to fire. The Union just had to wait until enough Aries retreated, then they could resume the attack...

(OOC: Didn't find Aries on the stats page, so I'm assuming it's got the same stats and equipment as in Wing... so what's it use for close combat? Do yours carry sabers or dagger things like Laku's Dingo?)

Micromissiles the bane of the republics existence. to many to shoot down or confuse with chaff or flares and in this instance to close to even attempt to dodge... the line was torn apart or atleast the front ranks but it was a staggering blow. the geminis in front where largely obliterated a few got lucky enough to survive but the slower sag line was exposed.

the began laying down a hail of covering fire to cover there retreat they had to rejoin the main body or they where doomed

We're dealing plenty of damage, thought Simms, but not enough... And as long as his ship didn't have adequate defense against projectiles, the new Aries squadrons were a huge problem with all of his Albatross squadrons committed elsewhere. That was war... the tide could shift so quickly, and with the new unknowns, he was on the wrong side of it.

"Luna the opening shot is yours" Holland said as he was starting to get trigger happy. Luna quickly raised her rifle "Target in range in 5,4,3,2,die!" she said pulling the trigger at a republic mobile suit, after that opening shot Holland went weapons free and opened fire on the republic forces.

OOC: hehe soon the most epic part of this battle will happen dont let me down send some air units to fight me!

Gimbley turned from his seat to face Simms. "Bravo 1 and 2 have engaged the enemy from behind!" he said.

"Message to all units, Bravo 1 and 2 are friendly!" said Simms, without a second thought. "Keep your eyes on those other five... where are the enemy Aries?" Interesting development, but perhaps he was too quick to trust them? They don't appear to be pulling any punches, though... but where are they from? Are they European?

"Things are going well, captain!" reported Rian. "Teams are engaging as planned, and the Terran movements suggest confusion."

There was a lot of battle to keep track of, and Simms decided that he was lucky. Jacob had driven off Hades in minutes, although their inability to detect it was still unnerving. He and Star had destabilized a lot of the Terran line, buying his own teams precious time to move into position. Even the Aries crisis had been resolved with some help from Star and the skills and grit of his pilots. Black Bear was still forty minutes behind the action. But that meant...

"New signals!" called Gimbley.

"Damn, are Bravo 1 and 2 here already?" asked Simms. "I'd lost track of them... see if Thorstein and Lynde are..."

"No, different ones!" said Gimbley. "Five more approaching from behind the Terran line, it looked like they just dropped in!"

"A drop?!" Simms cried. A total of seven individual units? They had to be Gundams... all of a sudden, his entire force was compromised. "Notify Thorstein, Lynde, and Allblack! Our own units should prepare to hold back and begin suppressive fire!"

Captian Takeru Matsumori quickly ran through what was happening in the battle feild so he could plan where best to deploy his team to maximise the efective ness of the individual samurai's strengths and weeknesses. the AOI was caught in the middle while the Union was trying to force there way in to a slowly growing hole while 2 unknowns where picking at the terran rear.

there was some comotion happening around a dence point in the terran ranks but all that was showing on his scanners whas terran suits in that area while another seemed to not be doing much of anything but there where strangly enough rocks flying around it wich slammed into the terran ranks

the 2 unknowns where aparently new on the feild as there where still closing in there also apeared to be another unknown singnal they looked to be on an intersept course for the battle feild

Takeru patched them in to the open comms channels to see if he could pick up some troop movements "Tsubasa intersept those retreating aries teach then not to flea from a battle. Riku Tamia cover the Union ship. Amaya assist one of the union formations. Masaru... you know what to do"

((ooc: Masaru is the one with the mirage colloid cloaking system))

"yes captain"came the reply from the other pilots who tore off to there designated points in the battle Takeru watched as the 4 visable units raced into position before selecting his own spot the terran mass that unknown to him was star slaughtering terran pilots left right and center but soon they would have something else to worry about as he drew his Beam Katana and charged in uttering an acient battle cry as he went

Tsubasa streaked across the sky through the blowing snow towards the fleaing squads of aries he drew his beam assult rifle and started blasting into there rear handaly avoiding averything that flew his way

Riku and Tamia had the hardest task but where best suited for it Riku with his heavy guns and Tamia with her sniperrifle where best equiped to fend most anything off the hard part was going to be avoiding getting shot untill they could prove it was the terrans they where hunting and not the union

Amaya pulled up her targeting scanners and selected 7 Terran targets choosing one far enough from the Union suits to avoid colateral dammage in the first strike she deployed her 4 beam cannons armed 2 pairs of missiles and aimed her beam rifle andfired the entire barage the republic suits didn't have a chance

Masaru by far had the funest job as he weaved through the milling ranks with only his beam katana at hand he would decloak long enough to cut down a G3 be fore dissapearing again and hunting a new one the command chain was about to take a major blow

"Update on Bravo 3 through 7," ordered Simms, "what are they doing?"

"The five unknowns have also engaged the Terrans!" Gimbley reported. "None of their units are in our database... there's a sixth one that... wait, it's gone again..."

"Captain?" asked Morris, confused. "This can't be real, right? Seven friendly Gundams?"

"Perhaps there is a God after all..." murmured Simms. "Attention all units, unknown Bravos are friendlies! Assist if possible, but focus on your own objectives."

As the Concorde, Airjet 1 soared across the sky, it remained at a constant altitued above the changing scene below them. Apparently, they arrived on the scene of a huge battle that was going on, the Terra Gundams, the Oceanic Union Gundams, and some apparent new arrivals....

"Maybe if we sneek past this line, we won't be noticed...." Alex suggested.

"Alex, I doubt that we going at Mach 1 right now, can get through this mess, and survive the G's that will insue, but if you say so....." Roland explained.

Alex took the controls, and immediatly sent the plane in a nosedive, they fell a couple thousand feet before finally they were able to even out. But then a massive lurched rocked the plan as it headed towards the Great White hanger.

"La dissimulation est en baisse!" called out the French ambassador

"The cloaking is down," translated Roland.

Shure enough, the outside of the plane was visible as plain as day.... and the plane was in the crossfire.....

"Captain, new signal!" called Gimbley.

What the... another one?! Simms thought madly. Either cloaking technology has gotten too good, or these sensors are simply awful... He shook aside his frustration and turned to his operators. "Do we at least know what this one is?"

"European diplomatic transport, and it's under fire," Gimbley replied. "It's requesting to land on board."

"Is he joking?" Simms asked. "Even if our hangers were big enough, we don't have nearly enough netting to slow it down... get him behind the battle somehow, we aren't equipped to handle it!" The ship rocked as Morris fired the beam cannons at a row of Sagittarius suits taking pot shots at the beleaguered aircraft. "Try to get one of the Bravo units on the line... I want to know who they are!"

Down on the front, Nelson continued to slide through the Terran ranks, lopping off limbs as he went. Try as he might, matching Jacob or Star's performance just wasn't happening with his Gundam. Still a bit slow, still undergunned... he thought, firing a point blank shot into a Gemini cockpit with his beam rifle. He paused and looked for a clearing. Nothing there... so he'd make one. "Adam, direct fire to my present location!"

"Can't guarantee we won't hit you," Adam mumbled, locking his heavy artillery onto the spot.

"I can," Nelson smiled. As Adam fired the report, Nelson pivoted around the Sagittarius blocking his path. His move screened the machine long enough for Adam's shells to land, blowing the top half of the suit's body clean off. The shrapnel forced a few Terrans to back off, and Nelson had the time he needed to boost clear and plan another attack run.

Laku, in the meantime, had hurried over to the European jet. She was its lone escort until the other Albatross wings got back. They were still playing cat and mouse with the Terran Aries which hadn't yet fallen back...

A group of five Aries came at Holland and Luna engaging them in close range combat hoping to take them down. Holland struck first taking down one before having to fend off the other two. Luna began fighting off one and she completly ignored the other one, a fatal mistake. The second Aries came at her from behind saber drawn right for the cockpit and then the distinct sound a explosion. What was left of the Aries went down to the ground, then another explosion, another, and another, the other four Aries went down as well "What!?" Holland said "Where did that come from?" Luna asked.

The beams that saved them came from beyond the thick cloud cover and before they could look up, it came. The Red Pheonix burst through the clouds all weapons blazing at republic forces "This is Captain Ramius, All allied forces sit tight and let the Twilight Pheonix get these guys off your back" she announced over the battlefield. She then turned her attention back to the battle "Signal the fleet, launch suits" she ordered "yes Ma'am" the communications officer responded "All ships proceed with drop operation" she said fleet wide.

The sky then filled with Twilight Pheonix mobile suits as all 940 of them came through the clouds ready to fire. As soon as they cleared the clouds they opened fire on republic forces. Within seconds they touched down "Touch down, phase one complete, begining phase two, Transport Delta Six prepare for phase three" came from the Red Pheonix's CIC.

"Damn council knows how to make a enterence, match communication channels and make sure Holland and Luna know whats going on Mayrin" General Waltfeld ordered "Roger" she responded as she switched communication channels to get in line with the fleet. A new chapter in history was now being writen and the Pheonix has now gone from a insergency to all out war on the republic.

The forces of CAS continued to build up along the front. Heavier patrols were now evident along the entirety of the new border. The war had taken on a phony war like quality reminiscent of world war two's france and Germany. After the last group of assaults on the bases of CAS nothing else had been lost, but nothing had been gained either. Currently all the forces were arrayed to support a three pronged invasion of the Republic territory and the troops only awaited an order from MILCOM.

Laku, in the meantime, had hurried over to the European jet. She was its lone escort until the other Albatross wings got back. They were still playing cat and mouse with the Terran Aries which hadn't yet fallen back...

OOC: Turns out I was wrong. I just figured out how to get the internet on my laptop down in SC to work. False alarm.

IC: As the ships exploded from Jacob's destruction, Jacob saw a flying object that Laku was headed for. Jacob looked up and tried to see hat it was, but before the sensors told Jacob what it was, Jacob's mind was recieving messages about who was in there. It was Roland and Alex. As soon as Jacob saw this, he moved towards the ship's location and hoped to keep watch over Laku and the ship...

However, he soon saw the Albatross squadrons in the distance fighting off against the Terran Aries squadrons. Roland's ship was already so close to the crossfire, it was dangerous to tell if they would survive. He began to fly towards Laku and made sure that she was still safe from fire. As soon as that was confirmed, he immeadietly turned towards the battling between the Aries and the Albatross. He gave the signal, "Attention all Albatross Units! Please clear yourselves from my line of fire!" as soon as Jacob saw them move, he fired towards the Aries squadrons, hoping to end them and the fighting that was taking place...

Despite the blast into the Aries ranks, there was still firing taking place above ground and below ground. Amidst all this, fire shots were coming close towards the European ship, and Jacob did his best to defend it from all of them. "You can never keep yourself out of trouble can you Roland?" Jacob thought to himself. He continued to defend the shots until he noticed seven new signals popping into the battlefield. "Seven new signals? This battle becomes more and more confusing..." He breathed to himself. Jaron's lack of participation was understandable, and Rolf's reaction was probably due to his behavior, but Hades brought more questions than it should have answers, Roland had apparently dissapeared into the jet while he was away, and now there were seven new participants to the battle. Many people would most likely question how Jacob was able to handle so much stress on himself later on...

"Thanks for the assist!" called one of the Albatross leaders, sending an Aries he'd been tailing into the dirt before clearing out. "Come on, boys, we can't ask him to cover everything, can we?" The Albatross units, freed from that fight, dove headlong into another. Roland's transport plane and Great White needed aerial defense, which they were now free to provide.

The sky then filled with Twilight Pheonix mobile suits as all 940 of them came through the clouds ready to fire. As soon as they cleared the clouds they opened fire on republic forces. Within seconds they touched down "Touch down, phase one complete, begining phase two, Transport Delta Six prepare for phase three" came from the Red Pheonix's CIC.

A massive new force arrived on the battlefield. Now the Terrans were suddenly up against an army that was 50% larger. Not only were the Union forces finally able to surround Terran pockets that had committed early to the first teams, but now they faced complete envelopment.

"Captain, the force we detected from space is allied," reported Rian. "They're attacking the Terrans as well."

"I'm starting to wonder of 'Black Bear' is on our side, too," muttered Simms. "I don't know where all these mobile suits keep coming from."

"Do you think the Europeans coordinated this?" asked Morris.

"Don't know... but once this is over, we definitely have to try and find the people in charge and figure something out..."

"Terra has freed up the Albatross squadrons," Rian continued. "They're keeping those Aries off our backs!"

"Mister Morris, send our regards to that pocket of Sags, three o'clock!"

The Twilight Pheonix had one last weapon to deploy, the blow that would finish the republic forces for good and wipe them out. The mobile suits took up a defensive formation in a area they cleared "This is Charlie 3, LZ is sacure, Echo six your clear" a pilot said over the radio. Transport Echo six then came through the clouds, she was a big one and landed at the LZ. You could hear a hatch opening and something hitting the ground, and then the transport lifted off and back into the clouds. What was left in its place was large, and covered with weapons. As it rose from the ground a radio message went out "This is Mu La Flaga in the Destroy, I'm in Assault mode and landed wiping out republic forces" with no further delay he took aim with his main cannons and fired a full volly at the republic forces.

"Attention Union Vessal. this is Leutenant Riku Kitashima of the Asian Alliance special forces Project Samurai, Leutenant Tamia Yoshimori and myself have been assinged to cover your advance and provide support where nessicary" it was a pont of fact that the 05 and 06 where support units Riku with his positron cannon and Tamia with her Sniper rifle they where not designed for direct combat like the others although there where still more than capable of holding there own in close combat

Star was actualy starting to feel pressed with the number of units she was engageing in close combat it wasn't suprising a normal pilot would have long been killed. she was about to leap into the air and bast at the mass wht her cannon when a rapid series of explosions anounced the arival of another suit as Captain Matsumori cut his way into the center causing the first real problem of a 4 sided conflict.

Takeru Charged Star seeing only another republic mobile suit. star was forced to break off her attack inorder to face her new attacker and the repiblic units moved back to give the 2 titans some room but remaining ever ready to pounce on the victor

Star bloced Takeru's first strike "what the hell is your problem" she bocked another strike

He swung again his beam katana crashing intostars beam sword "my problem is you and the rest of the republic scum subjigating the world under the guise of unity"

"look around you jackass i'm not fighting for the republic!" she dodged another attack

takeru looked around. there was an obsene number of downed mobile suits in the area and most looked to be hacked apart rather then shot down. he swund again thistime holding the pressure as star blocked sthe sparks from where there blades met showering down around them "perhaps theres something to what you say. verry well we shall continue this later, for now lets teach these dogs a lesson"

"agreed" they broke at the same time catching the watching republic units off guard as they once again tore into the assembled ranks and if star was a menice to the republic the 2 of them together were a force of nature and republic pilots began buging out as they senced there own doom aproching

Tsubasa tore in to the ranks of the aries as he rushed to the defence of the inbound European aircraft... crazy europeans "european aircraft Lt. Tsubasa Oki of the asian alliance Special forces Project samurai here for the assist. continue your aproach ill cover you" and with that breif intro he blasted several aries out of the sky with several quick shots from his assult rifle and a small voly from his missile pods he streaked past and preped for another run.

Amaya didn't bother with the intors she just picked aSquad of Union suits they looked to be in the most need of help and blasted a hold in the aproching Terran ranks "c'mon boys lets show 'em what your made of she blasted the hole even biger with another voly from her 4 beam cannnons and missile pods guiving the union team even more room to manuver

Colonel yelensk slamed his fist on the table in fustration with the addition of all the new units especialy those of the Twilight phoenix victory was nolonger a sure thing as it was origionaly planed to be. they where origionaly sent out to face just the union army not the Union ship plus 10 elite units not to mention the almot 1000 units of the twilight phoenix it was going to bee a masive fight"

"patch me into the rest of the army"

"signal open"

"Men this is colonel Yelensk. as your aware there are some recent additions to our battle. men this is our chance to end this here and now bothe the phoenix and the union are here. alll the terrorests and rebels are present" exept for the CAS he was right "Men to day we end this. Order and Unity! through Strength and Leadership!"

with the colonels words the union lines surged forwards it was one massive battle that stretched for kilometers across the mountainsand was slowily moving into the foothils as the terrans gave ground

"sir New contact.. its.. its.."

"good god..."all sag units open fire on that monstrosity i repeat all Sag units openfire on that thing! take it down!"

across the lines the Sagitarious unts redirected there fire towards the newest arival. friendly fire was unavoidable as they hammered its location. nothing would be able withstand that kind of barage for very long no mater who or what it was

general yevensky halted his forces just out side of efective striking range of the Sagitarious units and broke radio silence "men this is it in afew moments we will engage the Terran forces we are goung to be greatly uotnumbers so pick and choose you targe try and draw them away if you can"

Mu saw the amount of fire coming at him and smirked "I'm not the only problem you guys should know that" he said as the "Nefertem 503" thermal plasma composite cannons that went around the backpack fired off in every direction republic forces where in as well as intecepting missiles. The arms detached and began multi-angled attacks on the republic suits. The imense amount of weapons fire then started to land "It wont stop me completly!" he shouted out he targeted enemy suits with the missile launchers. To say the least the suit was a monster leaving no enemy left in its path, and for that its armour had to be good to survive it being a target. The question was how long would it last? That vary question went into and then out of Mu's head as the fire came in damaging one part of the suit after another, However the front of the backpack had a positron reflector shield protecting the front from damage maaking it visable open to attack from behind. Problem was how was the republic going to get past the detachable arms guarding the back of it?

However because the majority of republic forces were engaging the destroy this left them extreamly open. Twilight Pheonix forces quickly acted on this facted and began to quckly elimanate what ever the destroy was not hitting. Meanwhile the Red PHeonix was bypassing the main assault groups to there right flank and was heading straight for the republic command post, any republic suit that came near would be blasted with the heavy calibre weapons the ship had. What did the captain plan to do though? Destroy the command post? or take the officers as prisioners? Only time would tell what was going to happen to them all.

OOC: They may be grunts but if your taking the destroy down, im atleast taking alot of them down with it.

[CAS-Republic Border, Somewhere in Northern Congo]
With The republic occupied elsewhere it was time to launch a new offencive in the otherwise stizkeig that dominated the last part of the war with the TR. All the forces along the border began to advance past the fortifications they had maned the last few months (weeks, days however long had passed) but the main advance was on three consentrated areas. These areas, all near the center of the front, had the most troops and hopefully would encircle some enemy forces to prevent their continued fighting in the war.

"<something yelled in french: yet due to the commotion, what he said was not recorded>"

"He says......to turn the key...on the control......panel....and press.....the red .....button....!" Roland translated.

Alex threw himself back into the seat, and was able to turn the key, and press the red button. In result, the planes engines cut off, and extra stabelizers were able to come out, thus keeping the plane from exploding from all the G forces.

"Excuse me wah" the Frenchman said as he pushed Alex aside and took control of the plane, while also putting the engines in reverse.

The plane slowed down to the point of only gliding on the air, and cautiously, but gracefully, they were able to land the plane in the hanger. They had suffered some hits to the wings and the nose of the plane, but they were mostly unscathled.

"Never again," Roland said before fainting on the floor of the plane.

"Right..." thought Alex to himself.

"Roger that, Lieutenant," replied Simms. "The primary threats to the ship are the Aries." The ship shuddered as Morris sent another barrage on the Geminis on the line. He turned to the operators. "Gimbley, contact our Albatross teams and let them know we have help. Once Aries have been neutralized, we can commit them elsewhere." With the ground troops now pressing forward, it was essential they have cover. It was not enough to win the battle, but enough units had to survive to continue the campaign. "Rian, find a landing site for that plane. We need those escorts in the main battle as soon as possible!"

With more and more units joining on the allied side, the Union suits began to show more aggression. They faced an equally resolved Terran line that was buckling but still cohesive.

"This is the world's will! We're all going to bury you here!"

"For Sydney, you bastards!!"

On the far right, Adam and his Tuatara backup had turned back the Terran advance. Nelson continued to weave through the Terran force, opening up small pockets and generally keeping the line disorganized. Laku continued to take shots from the air, with a handful of Albatross suits joining her. The system was slowly wearing him down, just due to the number of signals he was tracking. These guys weren't tough at all...

"This is our chance!" he said, plunging one saber into a Gemini cockpit. "Adam, if you can bring those guys forward, we can get around the right side and turn their whole line!"

Death would not cease... No matter how much Jacob would destroy the Terran mobile suits and the battleships, continued. Jacob continued firing into the Terran lines, and found himself getting exhausted from the constant killing. "How many have I destroyed by now?" He wondered to himself. There was a whole army before him, and fighters were joining to oppose the Terrans. Thankfully there would be more to sooner end the battle, but Jacob want to feel as though he was not putting all of his effort into the battle. Roland would most likely be safe now since the Asian Gundams and Laku were protecting him, so he took the chance. Jacob flew up and made a dive forward. He went flying and brushed Terran mobile suits out of his way to breach the ranks. Hopefully, he would soon be able to reach the place of the Terran commanders and break up the Terran forces...
