She would've loved the opportunity to learn more about their mysterious benefactor and savior from the vacuum of space, but the klaxon began to wail, the Apollo Burning Star warning its occupants of an incoming attack. Kanoko stumbled a little as she watched Elizabeth run off, the ship shaking just a little as the attackers began what would normally be considered a relentless assault.

However, whatever the ship was made out of, it was a hell of a lot stronger than anything she had seen in the Federation. That or the weapons were weak, but feeling the vessel shake and shudder under fire told her that it was the former. Wrapping up her head as best as she could to staunch the blood flow and keep it out of her eyes, Kanoko bolted out of the medical room and headed back to the hangar, noticing the other two launching almost immediately through the catapults. Floating back over to her RX-78, she slammed her helmet on and sealed her suit, grunting a little. "Alright, Cavalier scrambling for sortie!" 

It didn't take much for the catapult system to drag the mobile suit out and launch it, her thrusters burning in the void as flashes of weapons fire and the blazing trail of propulsion systems met her vision. Gripping the beam rifle again with her shield up, she watched as the other two battered against the flurry of much smaller-than-normal mobile suits, Kanoko more than a little confused as the artillery batteries on the Apollo Burning Star ripped through them. "The heck is going on? I've never seen suits that small before, but geez, even this suit can shrug off some simple cannon fire from ship-based artillery. The shield alone can take that!" 

Taking aim at a cluster of the oddly-designed suits, the Gundam squeezed the trigger and unleashed the neon-yellow blast of the megaparticles, not just striking the enemy troopers but outright [i]vaporizing[/i] them with the force of the blast. Lowering her gun for the moment, Kanoko scratched her head, moving into the fray. "Are they seriously trying to take on this ship with such wimpy MS's? I've never seen them so...pathetic."
