[quote=Seiryu] “Salamis 4 is falling apart! Their radio is down!” The commander couldn’t believe how the situation had escalated, culminating in a fellow Salamis’ bridge being blown apart. “What about the mobile suits?! Any word from Yahagi?”“We’ve confirmed Kerry and Yahagi’s units. One more is headed there way.”‘Another suit?’“Who is it?”“Confirming… ID matches Trainee Shinn Barnack sir.”‘I don’t have time to bother with an injured trainee’ the commander reasoned in light of Shinn’s recent hospitalization.“Keep trying to contact the others! Send out our remaining mobile suits at once!”“This is Salamis One. We need support!” The operator continually repeated, hoping any friendly mobile suit nearby would receive the message. To their joy someone had.“Roger that.” ‘Now it’s a little more interesting’ Akira escaped the explosion of the Salamis before reloading the bazookas, preparing for his next strike.“Akira stop messing around!” Marie yelled at him over the comm, angry he hadn’t taken out the remaining Salamis yet. “Marie?” Akira figured she would too busy taking out the Federation forces to notice.“Shut up and join in!” She shouted back but Akira has stopped paying attention to her as he sensed impeding danger, quickly hitting his thrusters forcing the Kampfer upward as 2 shots passed below him. “Again…!” Akira was rightfully pissed off by being interrupted by those 2 pests.“I’ve had it up to here with you!” Akira fired the reloaded bazooka scoring a direct hit on Kerry’s unit before Erisia could bring his shield up to block it. Kerry couldn’t get a single word out as the cockpit exploded. “… Kerry!” Erisia shouted too late, he was already gone. Erisia tried to hold back on mourning her fellow student’s death, there would be time for that later.“This is bad…” Yahagi murmured, he didn’t even had the shield lost when Kerry’s exploded, his suit’s right arm and left leg were gone, and the Kampfer was still primed to take him out.Akira simply smiled. ‘That’s enough fun for now. One more to go.’ Akira fired both bazookas at once, feeling confident this would be the last thing he would see. [/quote] Several minutes earlier during the Skirmish at side 3 Shinn did a leaping slash at Akira’s Kampfer “I’ll pay you back for Linny and for shoving Asuna around!” He shouted “Too slow” Akira replied Asuna could feel his emotions “Shinn! “ Her hands reached around the controls “I…I have to go…” Before Asuna could act her mind was bombarded by more voices [i]Uwaaaaaaaaaaagh! Somebody please, anyone save me! It’s dark The hatch won’t open! Go down! Go downnn! NOOOOO! Dying in a place like this I cannot listen!! I won’t die here[/i] These voices are immobilizing me [i]Kyaaaa I cannot… This can’t be… Damn Zeons!! I’ll kill you![/i] ….Listen [i]Shit why won’t it move?! Stop it! Devils! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[/i] I cannot! Asuna’s mind went dark. Her canard stood up and she saw a discarded Beam rifle. She threw away her shield and grabbed the weapon. “I have to go…” Her mind flashed back to Shinn’s words in the Infirmary “If I had no choice but to kill someone to protect you…even…even if you hated me for it…I might do it anyway.” Asuna headed for Shin’s direction but a barrage of fire from four Zaku’s greeted her. Swiftly the Canard dodged every shot, as soon as she got the opportunity to turn Asuna fired at the Zaku’s with both rifles each shot annihilating all four at once. “This is salamis! Please help us!” Sad the doomed ship over the com “Send the remaining mobile suits to cover ship 3!” The Captain shouted “Incredible” the bridge communicator watched Asuna’s action’s with Forma watching “Put it on the main camera” Forma said “She’s shot down three—no four Zaku’s in a row! Asuna Elmarit she is currently headed to where ship 4 was.” Fourma gave Hank a thumbs up. Around Salamis 4: Now The rounds detonated “Who shot those Bazooka rounds!?” Akira said outraged He quickly sensed his answer “She’s finally here!!!!” A Zaku flanking Akira took to intercepting her “I’ll handle this” the pilot said “Stop! It’s not possible! Asuna’s…Asuna’s…” Asuna dropped one of her rifles and pulled out a beam saber and effortlessly cut the Zaku down “….The same as I am!!!” Akira readied his Bazooka’s “Not bad!” “Asuna?!” Yahagi said “Asuna?” Erisia said echoing Yahagi’s concern “Asuna? No…stay away!” Asuna’s Canard stood in place beam saber and rifle in both hands Yahagi showed up on video “Asuna Elmarit! Get out of here! Now!” What? Something’s…different! Erisia thought “Asuna, no!!” Shinn cried out Asuna’s Canard battled Akira’s Kampfer “Been a while hasn't it?! A while since we've played!!!” Akira said with glee The Kampfer fired Bazooka rounds at Asuna and she moved to evade An explosion went off and a MS was hit [i]Shinn?[/i]
