Terra Asterius Zala

"Hey kids. I take it you're looking forward to this new encounter?" The Verity Gundam joined Terra with her encounter to this newly found enemy. It looked just as fleshy as those stupid Generics, but in the form of a Mobile Suit. She wondered if their intelligence was the same. Her thinking had led to a silence in the comm, ignoring Avris as a result. Her thrusters were still taking her closer towards the enemy Mobile Suit and she prepared her beam rifle up to take aim at the enemy, but the Verity immediately pushed himself into the heat of the battle, causing Terra to pull her weapon away and hiss at him for interrupting her again.

"Why is it that you like to bother me a lot?!" She pulled away, circling around the enemy for a better shot but the Verity finally broke off from the enemy and Terra raised her BOWA rifle again. "Eat this!" She fired a barrage of beam shots and her console indicated red warning sounds and more bullets began to fly. Terra retreated to a safer distance in a hurry. Her camera indicated that the Archangel had fired upon the enemy's position as well. "Bridge! Where was our warning?! You nearly got me there!"

While she was minorly distracted, it seems like the new Generic Mobile Suit had itself equipped with a blade and Terra fired again at the enemy to no avail. It managed to deflect her shots with its sword. "Can't these things be shot down? Makes my job a lot harder!" She realised that the Centennial hadn't been doing anything in their encounter. The ZETA established a connection to Sousuke's comm. "Oi numbnut! Pull yourself together and help me kill this thing off!" Even if Sousuke would say no to that, she'd insisted. "Assist numbnut! That's an order!"

The Generic Mobile Suit prepared itself to do something. It looked like it was going to turn into some sort of mobile armour or something. It shield was in the front and soon afterwards it launched forward at a fast speed towards the Archangel that immediately sent Terra into a state of focus.



Her thrusters punched in MAX, and she immediately transformed into Mobile Armour mode blasting itself faster than the incoming Generic Mobile Suit and ran herself into the enemy from the side in an attempt to push the launch off course and away from the Archangel. When her attempts were deemed successful, she transformed again into Mobile Suit mode to engage it in heavy close-range combat, slashing her BOWA saber in all directions of the Generic Mobile Suit. "Die die die die die!" When distance was gained away from the ZETA, Terra forced her BOWA Rifle to overload by continually firing beam blasts at the enemy until it wouldn't fire anymore. Broken or not, she lets her rifle away from her hands and drew both of her Beam Sabers from the generator pack and resumed her barrage of slashes and thrusts.

The Archangel began to fire towards the Advancer unit's position while the pilot within recognized, "Enemy firing. Direct." The unit made a dash away from the Archangel's line of fire and managed to enact its strategy. The Archangel's defenses began to follow its direction before the ZETA was within its line of fire. The Centennial had not yet been engaged but would soon be a worthy new target as it observed the waiting Gundam from its screen. "Clear to engage." Were its last evaluation before the dash towards the Archangel began.

When the Advancer unit continued it attack it was about to hit the Archangel before its attack was undone. It brought up a shield of flesh against the BOWA rifle's attack but it was only enough to repel the shots. As soon as the ZETA was finished with its rifle it began to attack with its beam sabers and had a more difficult time engaging the enemy as its armor was sliced to shreds with the cockpit in danger of exposure. The androgynous pilot of the Advancer unit was shaken off course as the ZETA broke its path away from the Archangel to be subjected to its attacks. The pilot within endured the damage as it shook with the attack. The pilot within reported to its master, "Damage. Damage."

Eleanor saw the damage being done to her Advancer unit on the filmy screen within her mobile suit. She ordered the pilot, "Regenerate and destroy that one."
The Advancer unit on screen made a sweep away from the ZETA's attacks and rushed beneath the Archangel to interfere with its enemy's attempt to fire. It made another quick regeneration of its damaged armor when the pilot reported, "Evaded. Engage."
Eleanor watched the three Gundams attempt to put a scratch on her Advancer unit when she observed the first thing she could exploit with the three pilots. "Their bond is too weak. Ridill was truly a weakling among us... No... It's because they attempt to unite that they fail. Kira's seed is held back by them. They exemplify the true weakness of humanity." She permitted a small period to pity their situation when she said, "Unfortunate that they would all be worthy Actualizers with this mindset."

The Advancer unit made a dash past the Verity and ZETA where it found the Centennial lying in wait to be engaged. "Target." The pilot saw the Verity and ZETA prepared to fire in its direction when it began to move towards the Centennial's position. "Commence destruction." It said with a finality to the mission.

The Archangel continued its attack when it tried to destroy the Advancer unit when one of the operatives warned, "Sir, we can't hit that thing!"
Terzo saw the ZETA in danger of being attacked when he warned, "The ZETA is getting in our line of fire!"
Kira saw the danger the ZETA was in when he ordered, "Cease fire! Cease fire!" The Archangel ended its attacks when the Advancer and ZETA continued their duel.
One of the operators recognized what happened with the Advancer's moves when he warned, "That unit is trying to use our strategies against us."
Terzo turned to Kira when he pointed out, "I'm afraid there must be a greater problem with this situation sir."
Kira nodded when he asked, "You've seen it too?"
"We have three Gundams against one unit and their teamwork is lacking in more than one area."
Kira sighed when he prayed, "I'll have to hope that they are capable of defending ourselves now."
As the Advancer made its attack on the Archangel one of the operators warned, "Commander! The enemy is making the attack to our side!"
Kira was quick to order the defenses below, "Brace for impact! Defend our position!"
Thankfully the ZETA managed to deter the attack from a fatal blow when Terzo reported, "The enemy's been thrown off course! The ZETA has it!"
Kira saw the units engaged in the same intense struggle when he warned himself, "It's not for long..."
One of the operators observed the uneven work between the three Gundams when he asked, "Damn it! How long is it before the Centennial does something to take that thing down?!"

Sousuke continued to watch the battle when he found the Advancer bringing the Gundams to its mercy. As soon as he heard Terra call her a numbnut to his face he spat back, "Damn it, what's with you?! I'm not some grunt to push around!" Sousuke asked as Terra tried to motivate him to action. When she tried again he told her, "Quit calling me that!" It did however manage to be enough to move him forward into the fray the three Gundams were attempting to finish.

Avris's blade was deflected at every chance the Advancer tried to throw the ZETA off course. "Well shit. There it goes trying again." He was quick to take out his Verity's beam rifle when he continued to fire warning the Centennial, "Hey Yamato! Watch yourself!" As soon as he saw the Advancer making its way to the Centennial he saw the ZETA making an attempt to damage the opponent when he warned, "Avert fire! It's got its trying to take advantage of friendly attacks!" He saw the Advancer making its way to the Centennial when he warned, "Listen Yamato, just brush off what the nice lady has to say about you onto the enemy."
Sousuke's voice on the other line responded with a irritation dominant in his voice, "Easy for you to say jerk! Maybe you should just let me handle this myself right now!"
Avris moved the Verity away from the Advancer's position when he put away his guns for the battle when he recognized the greatest challenge before the three forces. "This continues we're going to be screwed really hard."

As the Advancer unit made its way to the third Gundam's position, the Centennial prepared its arm blades for the attack. "Here it comes. Blades ignite!" The Advancer unit began to charge its way towards when the nuclear energy began to course through the blades. This time the armor sliced through the Advancer unit with the goal of seeing its enemy destroyed. The blades worked their way into Advancer unit as it made its lunge when Sousuke told the pilot, "I'm sorry I don't feel anything for you."

The nuclear energy that phased its way through the Advancer unit began to sear and undo everything the scouting unit had attempted to preserve. The pilot was more concerned when the vacuum of space began to seep its way into the cockpit reporting, "Regeneration impossible. Breaking...."

Eleanor cursed the Centennial's luck, "Damn it. The Orchestrator's plan is the only option now." She ordered the pilot in the Advancer unit, "Eject from combat. Commit to the primary mission."

"Ejecting." A silky film wrapped itself around the body of the pilot inside when it saw the inevitable destruction of its unit. As soon as the opening was wide enough the pilot ejected from its cockpit and towards the Archangel's position. The ejection permitted the pilot to survive the destruction of its unit when it was destroyed to be launched towards the Archangel. It would only rely on being discovered soon in its preserved shell where the Actualizers could hope that their plan was realized.

"Ah..." Eleanor felt a strong pang in her mind moments after the Advancer unit erupted in combat. She looked up to the cockpit's roof when she told what seemed to be no one, "I only wished to exploit the full use of my scouting unit master... I will not deliberately delay my mission a second time." A short time passed as Eleanor glanced painfully up to the ceiling when she answered again, "Yes master. There will be no longer be a connection between me and this one."

Kira and the bridge saw the enemy signature blink off the holographic map when one of the operatives reported, "Commander, we're reporting enemy destroyed."
Kira sighed out of relief from the action when he asked, "Finally. Were we able to confirm what sort of unit it was?"
Terzo pointed to the images taken of the Advancer when he answered, "We have the images sir. It appears this one was more of a mobile suit than a Generic."
Kira sat back in his commander chair when he agreed, "Regardless at least we know they are beatable."
There was another operative on the bridge who reported, "Sir we're reading a bio-signature on our right broadside."
"Is it remains of the enemy?"
"It doesn't look like it."
An image of the cocooned pilot was making its way to the broadside. Kira recognized the opportunity when he ordered, "Attention available units. Retrieve the enemy pilot and engage capture."

As soon as the Centennial withdrew away from the Advancer remains he responded to whatever Terra would tell him, "There I hope you're happy... Braggart."
The Verity moved to the broadside when he scooped the cocoon of the Advancer pilot when Avris warned, "Just open wide Archangel I've got this." The cocoon made its way into the open bay when Avris congratulated himself, "Alright should be good to go."
Sousuke voiced his complaint of the situation when he asked, "We have to tolerate one of those things on our ship now?" This added to the fact that he had his blades ready for the ZETA if she were to attempt to attack him continued to build on his nerves.
Kira ordered Avris on his communication panel, "Officer Grimm, please try to keep them from turning on one another."
"Sure sure..." The Verity stood in between the two Gundams when he told the pilot, "Listen kids, I hate to be the adult in this conversation but you're not going to calm any nerves and it's going to make our side look pretty incompetent."
Sousuke spat at the need to be proper with Terra when he answered, "Sure I can leave her. Maybe if her royal fussiness will quit acting like I'm the one who's not doing anything."
The Verity made its way to the Terminus when Avris told himself, "Keep that up kid and you might reach my levels one day. You'll have to be sure to build that backbone off of something though." With that the Verity made its way to the Terminus while the Archangel waited for the Centennial and the ZETA to make their way towards landing. The Centennial led forward in the landing while the ZETA followed while Ensign Bitalech awaited their landing to offer their evaluation.
