[color=ed1c24]"Well fuck you too jackass."[/color] Nena not to subtly retorted as she flipped the bird in the general direction of Duel Gundam from her proximity in her cockpit. [color=f49ac2]"You want me to what? I don't give the orders but I'll try to re-direct people I guess. Still I doubt you'll be in for a single fight. The battlefield is smaller than ones we've previously been on and on top of that half of our best pilots will be engaging...speaking of which Captain Jason is giving everyone the go ahead to launch. Rodger Beta 2 launch on your go."[/color] Baker stated to someone suddenly asking for permission to launch and proceeded to give him the go ahead. Followed by him was Graham. The duo of Jack and Mask. [color=0072bc]"This is Paul Lyons. Black Star. Preparing to launch in Flight Pack Gundam Raigo."[/color] he stated flatly as prepared the gundam to launch. [color=8dc73f]"Oh dear it looks like it's time to get moving...I suppose I'll have to get going then."[/color] Hiling said none too excited about any of this as she waltzed back to her mobile suit careful not to get in the way of any of the other mobile suits in the hanger bay. Paul was cleared by Williams as Jason entered the comms system, [color=f26522]"All hands to battle stations all hands to battle stations!"[/color] Jason stated bluntly to call the crew to arms. === Map: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z89Ae8fjScU[/url] Group 1 Assault Force: Paul, Stella, Donna, Graham, Beta Team, Sigma Team Group 2 Commando Unit: Mask, Jack, Alpha Team (Grant) Group 3 Artillery Squad: Nena, Hiling Care Group 4 Support: Puru Paul readied himself mentally as he landed towards the south where the Sundown would be stationed for the mission. However much to his annoyance he immediately was under attack by Zaku units. Much to his pleasure and displeasure they were ZAFT Zaku types not Zeon types. That meant he was fighting his natural prey. Paul didn't have to worry as suddenly a large beam of light exploded onto the scene incinerating the enemy units. It was a purple blast. That meant it came from Nena. The blast cleared the zone and the enemy's scouts rushed back to base to warn their allies. Lucky for Paul he knew they probably didn't have anything for GN Particles that were emitting from Virtue and that suit Hiling was in. Paul soon was joined by Stella and Graham flew over head. [color=fff200]"Landing successful...engaging enemies."[/color] Stella said with sadness as Paul wondered what her deal was. She knew these people were her enemies didn't she? Paul knew he could trust Stella but lives of their enemies weren't as worthy as those of their allies. ZAFT had to be dealt with. [color=00aeef]"I got the skies! Incoming enemy units. I don't see sign of any aces yet. They must've not been fully prepared yet!"[/color] Graham stated as he shook his head. [color=00aeef]"Moving to engage!"[/color] Graham stated as he launched forward north. Paul sighed but he knew graham would do that. [color=0072bc]"This is Blackstar to homebase. Moving to engage the enemies now!"[/color] Paul declared as they launched forward towards the northern bases, Stella swapped out to her other mode and ran forward while Paul flew on his engines. Beta Team set up nearby and divided themselves evenly to protect the forward landing ground and SIGMA in their Marusames launched and raced to catch up with Paul. On the other side of the battlefield Grant and company landed without much hindrance aside from some sand. [color=00a651]"This place looks old..."[/color] Grant said as he looked at a stone wall protruding from the sand and rocks. He noticed this path had yet to be fortified though. It was just as planned even better. They had caught them half cocked! Still with Lyons leading the group on the south west portion of the map he'd have to launch forward and flank them from the south west which was cut off. If they screwed up here they weren't going to get reinforcements. [color=00a651]"I'm moving forward Commando Team follow my lead!"[/color]
