Mars Orbit, Near Side

"Sir, we've gotten a close match, it's likely a Vegan Scout! and two unknowns have been spotted on the far side in the path of our attack pattern, we believe it might be a fighter craft of some sort!"
"Those Vegan scum... how dare they get in the path of the Great Gradosian Empire!" Gosterro growled at the informant who could do nothing but swallow his spit as a reply.
"We won't let them steal this glorious moment of conquest! We'll move forward with the attack immediately! If those two unknown flying craft remain in our path shoot them down before they have a chance to respond!"
"But Sir, the other lieutenants have not yet given the call sign for complete preparations-"
"Then command them to finish on the double! Once our first strike is complete we'll snuff out the Vegan scum and wipe them off the surface as well!"
"Y-yes Sir! Right away!" The informant quickly left to pass on the orders while Gosterro silently seethed as he left his presence.
"Those damn bastards won't get in our way this time... but mere scouts won't be enough... I'll have Gale attack these "unknown crafts", with any luck a stray hit will get him out of my hair, heheheheh..."

The Nadesico

Brainwave detected additional energy signatures, heading for Waspinator's and Inferno's position. Perfect, just what he needed, more complications. He simply grumbled then said over the comm link, "Rastun, we have company. Head over there and do something about them before they screw everything up. We'll handle things in the meanwhile."

"Yeah, saw them a few seconds ago, way ahead of you."

Dealing with the unexpected is part of the captain's job, though that fact didn't make this situation any more bearable.

Rambos the field commander of the Waldstar saw the battle prepare to unfold on Mars.

"The Human ship Nadesico could be a threat to our invasion plan send the pursuit force ignore the Grandosians no need to spit up our forces. Heheheeh Human scum you will know our power!"

Rastun picked up more incoming bogeys on his sensors. This is turning out to be a clusterfuck. Brainwave is probably equally irate, if not more so. Just as Rastun was about to talk to him over the comms, the Transtech spoke first, "We're about to have more company, as you're undoubtedly aware."

"You honestly can't expect me to hold that many off myself. Some are likely going to get through, then Waspinator and Inferno are doomed, meaning the plan will be botched."

"I know, which is why I'll lend a bit of assistance."

The Nadesico proceeded to launch a barrage of missiles from its frontal section, dozens of them homing in towards their would-be adversaries.

"While part of me would like to use the bigger guns, which I made and modified myself, it would be good to not play all our cards too early. Those missiles should be sufficient to keep them far enough away," Brainwave said.

The Waldstar swarm was delayed but seemed endless



But suddenly

a Human figure riding a giant robot sped by.

"Ha!"

It began charging into the fleet destroying everything in its path.

"Look Waspinator, The Royalty has begun his attack! Let us fulfill our duty to lure the culprit out for annihilation!"

"Waspinator not think that what that means ant-bot..."

"Nonsense Waspinator, it is our time to shine!" Inferno gleefully cheered as he charged the location of the Zod. "Burn in the fires of Inferno!" Followed by his trademark maniacal laughter was all anyone could hear over the coms.

"Perhaps giving ant-bot actual weapons was big mistake..." Waspinator pondered as a series of explosions went off.

Meanwhile back on the ship. "Oh great... the moron brigade mistook us engaging the unknown aggressors for a signal to attack." Brainwave sighed. "Why can't anything go right for once?"

Meanwhile back on the ship. "Oh great... the moron brigade mistook us engaging the unknown aggressors for a signal to attack." Brainwave sighed. "Why can't anything go right for once?"

"This isn't necessarily a problem." Megatron posited. "Why not simply lead the swarm to the Zod and let our enemies destroy each other. Regardless of who wins they will surely be weakened. One could argue if the swarm simply overruns the Zod we've done what Liege Maximo demanded and we can simply proceed on our mission."

Brainwave considered the idea. "I don't hate it..."

In Japan on a mountainside across from New Saotome Institute

"Its been a while since we've last piloted a Getter"

"I feel a lot safer piloting a Getter then riding in your Car Ryo, after all I feel Getter Poseidon's arms and legs are my own" quipped a large man chewing food.

"I wonder if you've gotten rusty Benkei!"

"You should worry about yourself instead of me."

"I'm happy to hear that Getter G's power and controllability are light years ahead of the first generations" Said a tall man in the backseat.

"Me too I wish that you could've piloted a first generation Getter!"

"If I had maybe that incident would have been straightened out a whole lot sooner" Benkei said while stuffing his mouth.

"You've got a Quip for any occasion."


Their banter was interrupted by the site of smoke coming from the lab.

"What the..."

Art and Blackrock just felt the entire lab shake.

"Hey whats going on I didn't hear any reports of any more attacks!"

"No idea whats going on here the Getter Pilots aren't even...oh no I hope to christ I'm wrong"

"What Blackrock? Spill it!"
