“I’ll go! “Yahagi said “Instructor Yahagi thank you!” The captain said “It’s my duty. I have to protect my students at all times!” “Another GM has just launched” said an operator The students could overhear the attempts to communicate with the rogue MS. “The pilot’s ID is unknown. Hailing the pilot of the GM. Please answer!” the operator said. “Holy crap” “There might be real fighting” “Is Shinn gonna be alright?” “Combat this soon?” “This sucks man” “Unidentified pilot…?” Erisia said wondering “Asuna! Asuna where are you?! Where the hell…? Emilu asked” It can’t be A student was assisting the recovery before the alert. A student?! Erisia thought Her name was Asuna "I’m going after her! Prepare a GM! Where’s Linny?" Linny was semi conscious in his mobile suit Instructor Linny please respond! “Gah” “Instructor…Linny!” Over the legless MS loomed a Kampfer igniting its beam saber. Mercilessly it impaled the cockpit vaporizing Linny instantly. “Instructor Linny please respond! Instructor Linny!” The coms still called his name Francis fired at Shinn once again but he evaded “You goddamned kid!” Our only advantage is our maneuverability…don’t underestimate this suit…it’s been constructed to tolerate the mistakes of clumsy students. Francis fired a barrage at the head of the MS barely damaging it. It has superior armor and… Shinn made a rush at the Dom escape pod and shield in both hands of his MS while Francis continued firing, Shinn’s canard executed a headbutt on the Dom giving him the advantage. ...It’s tough enough to protect itself. "You’re mine!" Before the canard could strike the final blow on the Dom the hand carrying the saber was vaporized by an unseen blast. It belonged to the Pirates ship "You screw around too much Francis!" "Thomas! Thanks for the help." "Crap" Shinn shouted as he attempted to evade the ships barrages. Shinn however left himself open to a blow from the Dom. The force made his MS loosen its grip on the pod and left Shinn broken and bleeding. Francis the kicks the Canard and readies his Beam Saber. Am I gonna make it?! Maybe not… Shinn contemplated his fate as he began to bleed out A blast from far away struck the Dom before it could do anything else. "What was that a low powered beam?" Francis saw a canard in a nearby debris field “Trying to divert my attention eh? What an amateur. THOMAS!” The particle canon blasts destroyed the field “That debris should destroy everything!!” The Canard zoomed through the rocks without difficulty "It’s speeding through the debris…Impossible! That pilot is the pilot a…" My next shot is gonna be full strength! Asuna thought "…Newtype!"
