Kaiser opened up his comlink to the channel that Milya was talking on and proceeded to clear his voice before speaking, "I want to make it clear that we are not to go onto the island itself. We're making room for Duel, and Calamity to land on the beach and open up headway. With them there we can clear out that island with ease. We don't want to risk destroying the mobile suits on the island as they will prove vital in proving who is really behind this. If this was a ZAFT attack truly then the suits could possibly lead us to a bread crumb trail right towards them. We can then bring in ORB to the combat zone." Kaiser exposited as he and his men proceeded to open fire with machine guns as they flew closer to the island. There came a hail of machine gun fire from armed foot soldiers, old fashioned artillery batteries, and rockets. "Damn it! Hey former engineer does that new suit of yours have anything on it that can turn the tide because if we charge in there we're fried chicken!" exclaimed Kaiser as calmly but forcefully. "Guys don't advance unless we have a go!" called Kaiser as he noticed that the nearby OMNI ships were starting to return fire on the beach heads.

"Make sure those pricks don't hit the interior of the island got it!" shouted Welshman as he looked at the island with his teeth grinding up against each other. His crew did all in their power to make sure that they stayed in the air but out of firing range of the weapons on the shore. Why they were using these antique weapons were beyond him but he supposed you made do with what you had. It also would be a big flag if they were wearing heavy suits and had rifles that could be a threat to a ship like the Lucifer. "Bloody hell we're just lucky they don't want to get out of that turtle shell!" said Welshman as his helmsman informed him that the suits had launched, "Good that's one part done. Now to actually get on the blasted island." Welshman said with distaste. He hated amphibious landings with or without air or ocean support. They were always bloody affairs.

With the order to launch Donald was suited up and ran to his Aegis Gundam. He started up the OS and got it to move towards the catapult deck. After being launched out he will transform into the MA mode he found comfortable using to swat out aerial units. He made sure communications with the Lucifer is properly established and before declaring his intention to launch. "Donald Sinclair, Aegis, launching!" He declared and the catapult deck threw the unit out of the ship. Once mid-air the Scotsman activated the transformation into the MA mode and scanned around. The Aegis, being the only unit that can fly without additional equipment gave it the distinction of being the key to air superiority for the mission, keeping the rest alive by meeting his foes in the same sky.

"Ok! Clearing out the place."

With the shield in front, Strike took several shots with the beam rifle, the few artillery shells and rockets that hits doing nothing to spoil her aim. Explosion racked the beach as a few emplacements were hit, and the missed shots served to break the enemy ranks as they exploded on the ground. Strike was drifting towards the ground however, as it was not truly able to fly properly yet.

"I'm landing." She spoke to the comlink and then to herself. "Test firing the rifle, rapid shots... under less than nominal conditions...." Monitoring the energy usage, she sprayed energy beams as fast as she could identify and recognize potential threats on the ground. As soon as Strike touched the ground, she knelt behind the shield, the beam rifle up and ready to shoot at any thing else she might have missed on the way down.

"Ah.. how am I supposed to say this... The beach here is relatively clear."

Arsenio aided in clearing out the beach defenses by firing rounds from his rail bazooka at the enemy forces. "First Blood!...Killing Spree!...PENTAKILL!!" He shouted out random gaming jargon whenever he made a particularly devastating shot, reveling in the destruction. Taking a pause in the attack, Arsenio asked to whoever would listen, "Hey, you think the enemy would actually be dumb enough to retaliate by sending the very suits we want to either capture or destroy to attack us? they'd be sending our objectives right to us on a silver platter! Or do you think they'll make a run for it instead? I hope they come at us. I want to fight something a bit stronger."
