Jack snorts and pats the Duel. "Not me, I'm just out to make sure that the Earth Alliance that has to deal with this Yzack doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Of course," he raises his voice so Hiling can hear him, "some of us could stand to pull the stick out of their ass and be civil."

"You two need to chill out we're still getting ready. Blackstar's not even in his mobile suit you know. I want a crack at these dumbasses just as much as you two need to do but we're going to have to wait a little longer." Nena grumbled over the communications channels as Baker chimed in to answer officially. "Flight plan is delayed due to preparations needed by Yuri. Captain Jason will let you launch in a moment just please be a bit patient. If you like I'm more than willing to talk to you while you're waiting if you anxious. I'm not a big fan of fighting so I know the feeling." Baker said with a smile as her face grinned through the screens at the pilots.

Instructor W looked away from a set of documents to turn to Hilling. "Well yes, I am called the Instructor." He answered politely, seeing her as the pilot of the weird Mobile Suit. "The Gadessa, I had a look with Yuri and we saw it as a design we're not used to. Powerplant is different but I saw some similarities with Nena and Nalia's Mobile Suit so it gave us some knowledge to keep it in operational condition." He then answered about the repairs of other Mobile Suits. "I am the main mechanic of the Sandrock and in fact, manufactured it. I also help in the maintenance of the other Mobile Suits of the Sundown. What they call Slaughter Daggers are what I help with." He sensed something weird from Hilling but can't tell what exactly. It was like Paul and Gabriel, but unnatural.

"Hm? So you are a person of skill if you can maintain a gundam, as plainly simple as that one is, it is good to know that the crew has a capable crew to maintain such complex machines." commented Hiling Care as she walked back and forth before turning back to the Instructor. "Strange...in our universe my machines are both more advanced and less than these ones. Some run on a different type of power source but they're also more crude in nature. Like Graham over there. He is one of the few people who used a Union Flag where I came from and he was the only one of a handful of people to pull off a transformation mid flight." Hiling said to the instructor as Yuri looked over to the instructor seriously. He didn't want the instructor to leak out information on the suits to anyone else here. Especially to someone as new as Hiling. She'd arrived at a battle early and proclaimed herself an ally. But in truth no one knew if she was telling the truth. Merely the fact that she was like Saturnalia disturbed a lot of the crew. Hiling herself had yet to say what she was to everyone but everyone had already been previously told by Saturnalia about Innovades and Paul sensed a similarity between her and Saturnalia. With Gabriel gone that let Paul and Puru as the two newtypes on staff. Which would cause problem if either were harmed.

Jack grunted and shook his head. "Can it, Neena. You've got the wrong idea if I'm saying what I'm saying because I'm eager to trade shots with one of ZAFT's greatest pilots in every version of my universe I can think of. Except maybe Lieutenant Lyons..." Jack shook his head and let his sentence trail. What exactly HAD happened in Lyon's version of his own universe? From what he could tell, Yzak, Athrun, none of them were prominent names for him or the majority of the crew for the Sundown that had arrived with the Captain and LT. Shaking his head once more, he cut the channel to Neena and turned his attention to Baker. "Not much you can do for me, Baker, except suggest that the other pilots stay away from the fight between Yzak and myself. That other Duel is mine to down."

"Well fuck you too jackass." Nena not to subtly retorted as she flipped the bird in the general direction of Duel Gundam from her proximity in her cockpit. "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." 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. "This is Paul Lyons. Black Star. Preparing to launch in Flight Pack Gundam Raigo." he stated flatly as prepared the gundam to launch. "Oh dear it looks like it's time to get moving...I suppose I'll have to get going then." 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, "All hands to battle stations all hands to battle stations!" Jason stated bluntly to call the crew to arms.

Map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z89Ae8fjScU

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. "Landing successful...engaging enemies." 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. "I got the skies! Incoming enemy units. I don't see sign of any aces yet. They must've not been fully prepared yet!" Graham stated as he shook his head. "Moving to engage!" Graham stated as he launched forward north. Paul sighed but he knew graham would do that. "This is Blackstar to homebase. Moving to engage the enemies now!" 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. "This place looks old..." 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. "I'm moving forward Commando Team follow my lead!"

Jack followed behind Grant and kept his laser rifle ready, sweeping on the right flank. "This is almost too easy, Grant. Where the hell are the rest of their forces?" He'd been listening to the comm chatter from the other teams and knew the enemy aces weren't out and about yet. The enemy Duel was pretty beat up, so that's undoubtedly still under repairs. But we also gave them more time to get them done...OK, well, time will tell.

"Enemy suits were still probably debating on what they should do. For all we know they were going to invade us. But still I got a bad feeling about this place." Grant muttered as a sped forward with his squad. His squad mate spoke up, "Hey Grant what the hell are these buildings. They look like they were made thousands of years ago." Beta 2 said as Beta 3 spoke up, "Sir I'm getting readings of possible suits up ahead. Should we engage?" she asked as Grant frowned as he looked at his computers. "This is some weird shit my computers are reading suits but they're not moving. I can't pick up units nearby either what the hell is going on? Hey Williams what's Blackstar's status?" Grant asked as Williams chimed in with confusion, "He's engaging enemy Zaku teams. I can't say specifics because it's unclear but Paul and Stella are holding their own and Nena fired upon an enemy squad clearing out an entire group of them. I don't get it why is this so easy...Sir should we be more careful?" Williams asked as Jason considered this for a moment before stating that they should be aggressive yet reserved and not pursue enemies who go too far into the ruins too quickly.

As part of Group 1, Donna engaged the enemy Zaku units with others. She noticed that the Zaku they were fighting were sligtly different, looking stronger as well. The Gundam Sandrock hovered on the ground to catch up with the rest of the group and fought through the enemied that tried to block her way. "This is Sandrock, I am holding well." She said to her allies to let them know she's not dead. As several of the Zaku tried to charge, the Heat Shotel quckly ended their attempts without a sweat before it was noticed. Donna controlled her Gundam to assist in holding the forward ground with Beta team. The Beam Machine Gun in her hand fired limited, but accurate shots at the Zakus.

Jack got the strange readings as well, but he wasn't sure that there were actually suits ahead of them. "I don't know that we should put too much on our sensors right now. The ruins themselves have some weird ass energy readings that are messing with 'em. Maybe the larger group should stop while one or two others take a peak ahead. What do you think Grant?"

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. "They're too strong pull back!" 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. "This is sooooo boring..." 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. "Come on move forward!" 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. "Could it be that they retreated?" Stella questioned as Graham considered the possibility. "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." the group moved farther and farther in only encounter token units that fled soon after or were gunned down by Paul and company.

====

"I think these people are full of shit. Did they all just up and leave?" 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. "WE WON'T LET OMNI SCUM KILL US WITHOUT A FIGHT!" growled one of the enemy pilots as they stood still in their position raining hell down upon the commando team. "Oi Hot shots your suits are better than ours take'em out we'll cover you!" 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.

Donna noted how the battle was incredibly easy for them, enemies taking far larger losses. She observed the trail of destruction they brought and any survivors have fled quietly. The temple that appeared on the monitor was less than a welcoming sight that it had the potential of booby traps. "I can say it is possible that they retreated into this temple..." She added her thought to the group. "But traps are possible. Also why is the temple large enough for Mobile Suits?" It left many questions for the land they are trapped in. Some civilisation that are either giants or advanced enough to have Mobile Suits. So many questions.

Jack didn't waste time, as soon as the first enemy units appeared, he was already firing, aiming for their cockpits. The beam rifle made short work of those not in cover, burning holes right through their armor without much issue. Still, as he fought on, dodging the RPGs and avoiding as many shots as possible, Phase Shift armor aside, something didn't feel right. One Zaku charged him and he switched smoothly from his beam rifle to his beam sword, slicing it in two. "Why retreat? They don't even know that we're not half as large as they probably think."

Mask had an eerie feeling about this place. Everything seemed...off. The area screamed of traps but there was also something odd about the enemy units. As the RPGs were launched he swiftly shot them down with his shoulder lasers. He then aimed at the heads and joints of the assailants.
"Perhaps taking a few alive may prove useful." Mask claimed, noting the difference in the skills of the pilots from what they were used to.

"Enough of this all units charge forward on my orders!" Paul growled as he pulled his beam saber out and locked onto all the targets he could he shot out his missiles imploding a large group of mobile suits near their position that had just arrived to reinforce the lines. Paul and Stella charged forward with Graham dealing air support. A large red shot imploded near Mask's suits marking Hiling's first shot at the enemy lines destroying his enemies and the enemies of Grant's team as a wave of red energy washed over the temple area disabling or destroying the enemy suits. "You're welcome masked man." Hiling said with sarcastic undertones as she started to recharge. Grant nearly crapped his pilot suit after that shot. "HEY BACKGROUND CHECK NOW ALPHA!" Grant said hoping his unit wasn't hurt too bad as his systems started to go a bit haywire but he managed to keep control of his suit. That damn suit shot GN Particles which disrupted electrical systems and that is exactly what Daggers needed to function! Alpha units began to ring in saying all of them but Alpha Three were suffering the same problems. "Damn it if you can't control it then get back to the ship!" Grant growled as two members of his team fell back to the Sundown and left him with Alpha Three and Five out of his five man squad. "Damn it I'm counting on you two and you guys as well Lieutenant and Conscript Mask." Grant said as he prepared himself to turn the corner and head towards their targets heading forward but as they got moving they noticed little to no resistance.

With the aid of Donna and crew Paul had managed to hack his way towards the middle of the area. As Paul got there he landed on the ground and looked around. He couldn't help but look at the area around him because it was an ancient ruin with old buildings and what looked like the center of some sort of auditorium in the middle due to there being a few pillars and a circle around it. He also saw that a large looking tank like vehicle was in the middle Paul raised his rifle and ordered the enemy to come out and surrender. A group of SIGMA landed next to him in their Maruasames and transformed back into normal soldiers. However before Paul even got an answer a large set of walls arose from the ground around them and Paul's sensors started screaming at him as it became clear that he was now boxed in the middle of the area with the only entrance left open being the one that should've let Grant's team through the back and as he was consider his option of flying a scrambler started to disrupt their signal however he could still hear James Axer's muffled voice, "-Magnetic-elds-p-do-ly!" Axer tried to tell Paul. He could only guess magnetic fields were up meaning he wasn't able to get out of where he was. However he did notice a large laser shoot over his head and he heard a large boom on the other side as he could only assume the Sundown was hit. Paul glanced around and found himself and the members of SIGMA were surrounded by strange sand painted Zaku types. Ambush...of course. They probably saw Hiling or Graham and prepared for it. Though he wondered if it was that or if they were just expecting trouble. Still Paul put his beam saber back into it's holster and a rather bulky mobile suit appeared from a hiding spot nearby. "I would recommend putting down your weapons and surrendering gundam. I promise you that you will come to no further harm." the calm cool voice of a man proclaimed as Paul pulled his beam rifle back up after he put the beam sword back in it's place. The machine was red and orange with white and he got no new-type feeling from this individual. "I don't make deals with people who attack my ship." Paul responded as SIGMA prepared themselves for a fight. "Don't be a fool you're surrounded and I doubt you can fight me. From what I heard a friend of mine may be fighting with you but for the moment we are enemies. I would prefer to avoid further hostilities. You are a gundam pilot so I can only assume you are a high ranking enemy officer. This is your last chance, surrender or I will be forced to terminate all of you." the man said again as Paul simply charged forward without speaking. He didn't need words to deal with this guy he needed action. Paul would never back down to anyone ever.

In fact all around the battlefield there were problems as walls arose in front of and behind of all of the groups. Stella watched in horror as a wall was sealed off in front of her as she tried to smash through it only to find it was resistant to her beam sabers and Beta Leader tried firing his rifle at it too no effect as well. "We're going to need a bigger gun!" Beta Leader grumbled as Two warned everyone within ear shot that there was enemies attacking them. A group of units emerged from the walls under a camouflaged paint and also from the sand as the Zaku units started to firing upon them killing Beta three and injuring four as Beta Leader rallied his men to him and Stella turned about to attack the enemies as well. "I'm not going to die here! I don't want to die!" Stella cried out as back at the other side of the map Yzak appeared in front of the Commando units as the walls closed around them. "You're not getting out of here until we kill you all." Yzak said to Mask and Grant who prepared themselves for combat. Yzak was in heavy gear this time all of his available weapons patched onto Duel. He was flanked by two elite zaku units and another gundam class suit. The other suit p

Back at the Sundown the crew shivered as the blast struck their hull as Jason cried out for a status report they said the blow had severely damaged turrets on that side and if not for the heavier armor they had on the Sundown would've blown a hole right through their ship. Jason ordered the Sundown to power up and get out of the firing range of the enemy or at least fine cover. Puru hurriedly looked around and contacted Jason, "Captain are you alright?!" Puru asked as Jason told Puru to prepare for ambush units and not about them and assured her that they were fine. "CAPTAIN orders would be appreciated!" Nena growled hating having too take orders but unsure about what to do. This was the sort of situation where she normally turned tail and ran but she couldn't do that given the circumstances. Besides Reve was left behind at the citadel. "I'll move to go and assist Donna's cut off party those fools need the help captain." Hiling Care said bluntly as she prepared to make her way to the area at hand. "Look both of you need to calm down and listen. Hiling I approve of your idea do so. Nena provide covering fire for the Sundown. Puru readings are coming in enemy forces are coming to attack us. Nena's previous shot took out more of them then they expected I bet. You will stay here eliminate any and all enemies. Leave none alive if need be. I can't risk your life trying to obtain captives. I'm sending out auxilaries to bolster our defenses here. I should've kept Reve here but I feared to leave the Twilight Citadel without soldiers. You got your orders move!" Jason said as all of them proceeded to go and follow the orders given. Luckily Baker had pointed out the jamming was only effective at range so they didn't have to worry about nearby signals being lost. "Where's Mr. Graham he was in the air wasn't he?" Puru asked suddenly to Jason as the devil appeared on com, "I'm good but I'm cut off I can't fly down any further without risking my systems burning out. I'll return to the Sundown-" Graham started to say before Jason cut him off and told him that he should focus on killing the enemy sniper. "Huh good point I guess I am in the best position to do that right now. Fine I'm moving to assassinate the enemy sniper." Graham said with renewed vigor.

====
Over by Donna and the others a light pink suit appeared in front of Donna and Beta Leader as the machine unleashed small bits around itself the machine looked at the people below it. "Pilot of Sandrock this is Fram Nara of Vagan ZAFT Coalition Forces. We're asking you too surrender on behalf of the pilot called Trowa Barton. He is currently at the moment engaging your ace pilot in the gundam suit in the center you were following. Comply and turn on your handlers or face death. I don't want to have to kill the friend of an ally if it can be avoided." Fram said as she fired at Beta Leader suddenly but the seasoned soldier blocked it handily with his shield and dodged the oncoming bits with a practiced hand bobbing and weaving. "Damn her she's lying don't lose focus! EVEN IF SHE ISN'T I'LL NEED YOU'RE HELP TO KILL THIS PERSON! Whoever this Trowa guy is, is he really worth turning your backs on us after helping you the past week!? Donna I have faith in you!" Beta Leader said hurriedly his main focus was on the enemy pilot who seemed completely at ease trying to kill the slaughter dagger leader as his remaining soldiers were busy just trying to survive. "Donna please! I know haven't known you for long but I don't want to hurt you! I will if you betray us! So please help us!" Stella begged as she slashed through and killed two enemy pilots before blowing away three more with her back mounted rifles. "Are these Earth bound fools really worth your breath?" Fram questioned Donna. "Are they worth turning your back on Trowa Barton?"

Specific suits:

Tank - gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Tray-class

Gundam fighting Paul: Trowa Barton - gundam.wikia.com/wiki/XXXG-01H2_Gundam.. (pre-Endless Waltz)

gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Xvb-fnc_Fawn_Far.. - Fram Nara

Jack swung out from behind the rock he had hidden behind, bringing the missile rack to bear. "You want to kill them, you go through me." And then he let them rip, all four rockets flying towards the enemy Duel as Jack boosted to the left, firing rounds off with his Beam Rifle. "Take out those zakus Grant, Mask and I will handle the aces."

"Agh! Damn!" Mask yelled as the GN particles messed with his mask, causing a bright blue flash to blast his eyes. He was about to yell some harsh words at the reckless woman, until Grant did it for him. He took off the mask and rubbed his eyes hoping to regain some sense of vision. His vision did return, just in time for the enemy ambush. He placed the mask back on, but it was still rebooting itself. Mask tore it off in anger and dropped it to his side.
"Fine! I've relied on that Mask a little too much these past few fights anyways." he roared in anger.
That damn woman! Luin thought to himself. Now we can't get more data on these suits. Luckily, I think I've seen them enough now to know what move they'll go for. Except that one. He said noting the new Gundam Type. It's like the G-self. Typical.
"I am Luin Lee of the Capital Army! On my pride as a Kuntala, we will not be the ones dieing today!" he roared, zipping forward with his sabers drawn. As he headed towards the other gundam, he began launching lasers from both his shoulders and beams from his two hands.
I mustn't fall here. For Manny, and everyone else back home, I will not lose!
As he neared, he went for a double round house with his sabers.

The sudden appearance of the wall caught Donna offguard! "A trap?!" She could only say in shock at it sprang to separate her from others. Though communications back to the Sundown became scrambled and radar glitching, it looked like she can only rely on allies in close distance for communication. Her Sandrock attempted to cut through the walls with the shotels, but it was too tough to be destroyed. Just as she deactivated them, a new pink Mobile Suit appeared. The pilot, a female voice ordered for her surrender supposedly for a Trowa Barton. She can only reply to the pilot. "This is 1st Lieutenant Donna Lindemann of the Earth Sphere United Nations. I cannot surrender." Donna replied. "I cannot betray my comrades for Trowa Barton. My allegiance is with the Earth Sphere United Nations, Lord Lindemann, Instructor W and the Earth Alliance crew. I will not let them die." She activated her heat shotels once again, knowing that the refusl would mean a new fight.

"What an amateur move!" Yzak growled at Jack as he charged forward towards the missiles and fired his CIWs at the missiles causing them to explode clouding the area. "Last time I checked I was in charge here Jack! But fine I'll cover your ass." Grant said frankly as he aimed down his machine gun's barrel and fired shots towards the Zaku units who raised their shields in retaliation and the poor remaining two Beta Units shot down some of the rocks nearby and used them as cover as the Zaku fired Beam Rifles. "Shit that ain't going to last long at all! Hey Charley you're with me! Get them comfortable then we'll pounce!" Grant said to his unit as the man acknowledged the order and opened fire the whole small corridor had turned into a blast zone.

"Damn that suit's got some fire power! But I got you in the speed category!" Leon Graves said as he back pedaled as soon as he saw the charging suit. Though he got scruffs from Mask's shots the machine still dodged the shots. "It figures I'd be fighting some guy with a big ego. You guys always are the first ones to die in a fight kid." the man said as he shot his beam pistol at Mask. The pistol shots first missed Mask but it soon became apparent that the shots were feint shots and the next few blows smacked Mask's suit in the shoulders. "My specialty is long range kid you just lost any advantage you had by charging me." Leon taunted Mask as Grant shot at Leon forcing him to dodge allowing one of Mask's shots to smash him right in the left arm practically disabling it. "I got your back so you better make that count. Damn it!" Grant muttered as he hid back behind his increasingly diminishing cover.

====
"I thought the ally of The Preventors would be eager to join them. So be it die like the rest of these Earthling Scum!" muttered Fram as she activated the diffuse beam cannon on the chest and fired a large shot at Donna. "You should've known better to refuse when you're in such an archaic suit. Good thing you refused because your machine would just hinder us in the end." growled at Donna as suddenly she was forced to dodge out of the way cutting off any more shots as Stella fired his beam rifles at her. "I don't care who you think you are I won't let you hurt my allies!" Stella said shaking as she tried to fight off the feelings inside of her. Fear was something she had struggled with all her life. Shinn had helped her overcome a lot of it...but...she still didn't want to kill anyone. "I'm still alive Donna take on the enemy grunts! My men got your back watch out for the bits though!" Beta Leader barked as he shot one down as his suit started to show some damage as his shield became dented due to repeated blocks with it. The mere fact that he was still alive when facing down the bits was all the more impressive and spoke about his skill. More over he actually had managed to destroy one. He had nearly died in the process but he managed to get them down. "I'm too old for this shit..." he muttered as his allies shot a scattering shot missile destroying two more leaving two but the Beta Soldier was soon shot down for his effort though it didn't appear to be a fatal blow. "Damn you Fram! I'll kill you for this!" the enemy opened fire all around them as the remaining Beta units scrambled to fight back ducking under debris nearby or otherwise being forced to hide behind their shield. However most of the aggro was focused on Sandrock as the Zakus fired at the gundam furiously. "You can't destroy and X-rounder scum!" Fram growled at Stella as Stella retorted, "I don't need to destroy you I just need to kill you!" Stella changed back into gundam mode and took flight in the air as Gaia and the Fawn Farsia began their battle.

Paul vs. Trowa
Sigma was the first one to make a move hey flew up into the air in a coordinated formation covering each other while making the Zaku focus on them instead of Paul. SIGMA Leader had insisted they buy their Lieutenant enough time to wipe out the enemy mobile suit. If the enemy ace was destroyed them all of them should fall soon after. After all unless Raigo's power core drained out quick they would be no match for the mobile suit. However they themselves found themselves in quite the predicament as there were too many Zaku too truly be able to hold their own for long.

Paul on the other hand flew forward his shield straight up covering his suit, as Trowa stood his ground and pulled up his chain gun and opened fire upon the charging gundam. Too Paul's surprise the Gatling gun was actually a god damn beam based weapon. Paul felt his shield take the shots he and could only hope to god that his shield would hold. Paul's newtype senses and his natural abilities kicked into high gear as Paul's concentration narrowed he focused on Trowa while dodging incoming shots from the few zaku left fighting him. He quickly let lose a beam rifle shot that smacked pin point dead center into the enemy zaku. "You're pretty fast but in the end it won't matter." Trowa said calmly as Paul neglected to respond his mind focused on survival he didn't want to give an inch to this pilot and he needed to get his men out of this trap alive. He had no intention on letting his brothers and sisters in arms down. He never had before and he never intend too start now.

Paul fired at Trowa who easily dodged the attacks while keeping his own line of fire going. "Impressive I have to admit not many people can do what you just did. It looks like I'm going to have to work for this victory." Trowa stated as Paul once again refused to decline.
===

"Damn it the shot didn't go through? Fine I'll make the next one count then!" grumbled Aida as she prepared to take another shot at the massive ship. Normally her anti-ship rifle would be able to take down a ship that big easy but it seemed the ship had more heavy armor than she had accounted for. Taking down the ship would take a few more shots at most. She prepared to fire again aiming down her mobile suit's sights as suddenly she was shot from above by some sort of jet fighter. "What the hell!?" Aida grumbled as her suit shivered from the blows and she jumped backwards. "You know if there's one thing I hate more than a dirty coward it's a sniper. A true soldier fights head on and isn't afraid to fight!" Graham growled as he flew in towards the enemy pilot unleashing another barrage of shots from his suit as Aida forced her suit backwards dropping the anti-ship rifle and pulling out her beam rifle only for a missile to blow the thing to pieces and smashing the suit into the ground. "Damn it you again!?" growled at Aker as she fired her head vulcans at him in retaliation only to have Graham easily spin his Flag out of the way to dodge. "Is this all you got!? I'm disappointed you don't deserve to pilot that suit!"

Pilot with Yzak

gundam.wikia.com/wiki/PMC-1L_Arms_Astr..

Leon Graves is it's pilot.

As the area became clouded, Jack grunted and fired off a series of shots in the other Duel's direction before switching to his beam saber and igniting it. "You ever wonder why anyone would shoot missiles at a Gundam equipped to counter them?" He was now in Yzak's sight, his shield between him and the other Duel and coming from the left of the other Duel. "It makes their opponent over confident!" Closing, he made an expert slash towards one of the arms.
