Paul slashed and killed a zaku pilot instantly as the shells bounced off his armor meaninglessly though it did delay him and drain his power. However while he was providing the role of a tank Stella quickly moved in and killed two of his enemies in her attempt to help out her lieutenant. Beta Squad pushed ahead further pushing back the remaining Zaku who feebly attempted to combat them and Sandrock. [b]"They're too strong pull back!"[/b] one of them shouted only to get gunned down by Graham Aker from the sky as he quickly swooped in to finish off the border patrol Zaku. [color=ed1c24]"This is sooooo boring..."[/color] Nena grumbled as she sat back in her seat and tapped her suit's controls. Hiling sat back wondering why they were not encountering anyone and it became clear to her quickly that either these people were incredibly inept or they were purposely holding back. [color=0054a6]"Come on move forward!"[/color] Paul said as Stella quickly followed him and Beta Squad charged forward as well. They bobbed and weaved through the crevices of rock and stone that formed this place. It looked like an ancient temple of sorts which meant that there could be booby traps hidden here. [color=fff200]"Could it be that they retreated?"[/color] Stella questioned as Graham considered the possibility. [color=00aeef]"Maybe but why would they consider leaving when they weren't positive if they were followed or not. It wouldn't make all that much sense. Otherwise they're a bunch of jumpie bastards."[/color] the group moved farther and farther in only encounter token units that fled soon after or were gunned down by Paul and company.

[color=00a651]"I think these people are full of shit. Did they all just up and leave?"[/color] Grant asked as suddenly a Zaku team jumped down from a nearby hill and proceeded to open fire forcing Grant's team to take cover as RPG rounds and machine guns opened fire upon them. [b]"WE WON'T LET OMNI SCUM KILL US WITHOUT A FIGHT!"[/b] growled one of the enemy pilots as they stood still in their position raining hell down upon the commando team. [color=00a651]"Oi Hot shots your suits are better than ours take'em out we'll cover you!"[/color] Grant said as he hid behind his shield while his men blew down a wall and hid behind the wreckage though they did take some pretty nasty damage one of the Alpha Team even lost a chunk of his suit's forearm rendering it nearly useless. A group of less skilled pilots would've been killed instantly but Alpha was used to ambushes like these as such had experience at the very least surviving such things. However it became clear if this lasted much longer Alpha would need to pull back.
