Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Eclipse

Lord Lindemann was at the hangar close to where the Rogue Wings returned to, receiving news from Germany through the phone. He also also followed by a bodyguard and Blare. "You mean Dusseldorf's forces were wiped out?" He questioned. "I want our forces to regroup and pursue the attackers!" He stopped speaking when he saw Donna getting off. He had more questions himself. "So I heard you went to Dover." He started.
Donna found her father suffering as much as her with his slightly visible crouch. "Naina was after Goslin under suspicion of being an ally of Kecker." She answered. "But I heard that he killed himself."
Lindemann showed his disgust that there were more conspirators. "Despicable." He hissed. "I heard that there's something approaching Brussels and it fought through Dusseldorf. Those things came in from Poland but there were reports that Coalition forces were attacked also."
Donna thought that it may be Kecker's doing. "Is there any footage?" She asked. The Lord presented a short clip of the planet defensers in use. The Mobile Suit that used it were unable to be identified due to the poor quality of the video.

Because the Kaliningrad engineers prepared for the upgrade before Oleg was contacted the procedure was quick. "All done Private." He informed the pilot. "Lads, get ready to leave this forsaken soil!"

Instructor W observed the last Gundam making entry to the hangar and to his curiosity the colour of the armour faded, leaving only dull grey behind. He saw the pilot of the Gundam that just docked make his descent and noticed how the pilot is a young adult that looked around the same age as Donna. He adjusted his goggles and listened to what the pilot said on how they kept their word but in the threatening tone he heard in the comms, the inspection of Sandrock and how they will be taken to see their captain before giving his reply. "A quick inspection should be fine with us." The Instructor noted. "And we haven't received any information on your forces from our side either." He looked at the Mobile Suits that are presumably the backbone of the carrier's forces, nothing he knows about either along with the carrier they're right now in. "Can we ask who exactly are you and your organisation or will it be explained later? Otherwise we are ready to meet your captain."
There was some temptation to punch that jerk called the "Blackstar" in Donna but knew that she had to refrain with an RPG and riflemen on guard. Any dumb move can jeopardise their safety. If he is being polite then it only sounds like he's trying. She hated how she needed to swallow her pride and allow an inspection of her Gundam to be trusted. "I have no questions." She responded with an emotionless tone.

Sandrock followed the Beta Leader to the location of the Sundown. Both Donna and the Instructor were surprised to find a battleship that massive and there clearly weren't reports on it as an ally or enemy that they know of. "It has... Legs?" Was the only thing Instructor W can say. they saw the Tallgeese boarding after the team of Mobile Suits, followed by the one with the folded cannon on the back. "We'll be next to jump in, be sure to jump with enough altitude." He reminded the Gundam pilot althought he didn't know how to board one of those ships in the first place.
Donna got the Sandrock to jump briefly from the verniers in the backpack. She was careful not to use too much fuel in one time when jumping in. The Gundam was able to get in the hangar safely and found the others except for Blackstart already docked. There was a mechanic in orange uniform beckoning the Mobile Suit to be moved to an empty space next to the Tallgeese. Donna immediately complied, moving the Gundam slowly to the designated place. Once the docking was completed successfully, the OS was turned off and the hatch of the cockpit opened. Instructor W got out first to the ground and his apprentice was soon to follow. Touching the floor of the hangar was one way to convince them that they haven't been dreaming all the time. Seeing that the Blackstar pilot is still not in the hangar yet, they decided to stand and wait for him to arrive.

Donna saw airship moving as fast as possible to return to Brussels from one of the windows of the hangar. She took notice of the new recruits that were recruited in Dover and they were wide-eyed, obvious that they haven't see any battle yet. Milou was also there, checking for any faults in the Aquarius' operating system now that the virus is removed. She went to him in favour of his company in contrast to the new cadets. "Is the Aquarius okay?" She asked him.
Milou turned to find Donna. "It should be okay." He replied. "It's the only thing I can seem to do now." From what he can see Donna is still hit hard. "So are you feeling better at all?" He returned with a question.
Donna hesitated before answering. "I had a nightmare in the morning." She whispered. "Seeing dead people." She hugged Milou strongly after speaking.
Suchart witnessed the interaction between the two. He would've got the recruit to join the betting pool but he didn't feel like it. "Like if I give a damn anymore..." He thought.

The news of Moscow's decimation was also a shock to Tano. He had to remain his composure to his subordinates. "We will continue our move to Moscow." He declared. "Kaliningrad is nothing for anyone now but McNeil should be ready with repairs and modifications for those with blasted parts that are no longer worth keeping."
The squad returned to Kaliningrad to find McNeil ready to go with repairing the Leo IIIs and give an upgrade for Oleg. The chief engineer noticed the returning Mobile Suits and signalled his men to get ready. "Lieutenant, was the search for the Mobile Dolls fruitful?"
Tano gave a blunt answer. "They went into Earth Sphere territory and much to our surprise they killed a squadron of border guards." He was also still shocked with what he saw.
McNeil remained professional. "I will begin refueling now." He switched to speak with Oleg. "Private, we will install the gatling guns to your Leo now. We just need you out for a wee bit so the lads can get to work."

Everyone busy? Becuase of the order of the Mobile Suits entering the hangar I will have to wait for a while.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Eclipse

Donna was glad that the problem was solved without having to kill another batallion again. Milou saw her give a sigh of relief and Naina returning from her mission from a window and the recruits that scattered briefly when the Griffons appeared returned from their hiding places to board the airship.
Suchart found himself meeting one of the new recruits, a young man who looked like who got fresh out of an academy. Who just stopped in front of him. "Who are you?" He asked, not bothering to hide his jaded perspective.
The boy replied. "Private Nick Walker sir." He responded with a salute.
Suchart didn't care about the boy's name anyway as he doesn't know any famous name in Europe. He may have a chance in knowing Thai names as he is from there but the Gundam pilots would have a better chance knowing any history. "I'm not the leader here." He told the recruit. "Report to Captain Houston." He gave an obvious sign that he wants to be left alone.
Nick found Captain Dana with Mercurio and Keijo but he was able to tell his new commanding officer with the obvious mark of a veteran. "Captain Houston, Private Nick Walker with recruits reporting for duty." He gave a salute to his superiors.

Tano made his decision with how some of the pilots made a point. "There is a point that further pursuit of the Mobile Dolls will have us killed by either Earth Sphere forces or the Mobile Dolls." He decided. "We will make our retreat to Moscow. I already tipped the Earth Sphere on their problem now and it's better to leave before they find us." He led the retreating Mobile Suits and as he did he thought that the three Earth Sphere Gundams may be the closest thing to stopping them.

Suchart was in thought with how "green" they all used to be when he became jaded after numerous battles. He knew others that would be jaded as him like Donna who was visibly troubled since she returned from the parliament building. He could only hope that the new recruits can be as good.
Donna saw they new recruits making their way to the carrier. They clearly looked like they are yet to see proper battle. When she saw a number of carriers heading to them she sensed something is not right. She found Captain Dana to consult on the new company. "Captain, it looks like we have a reception waiting." She reported. "Orders?"

Tano was also caught off-guard by the Sol Thero Mobile Dolls' attacks on the Earth Sphere patrol. "There were no friednly fires when I was fighting them." He commented on the actions that brought more complications. "It looks like they malfunctioned or something if both sides are attacked. It will be dangerous fighting them at our current strength." He discretely looked for any listening posts he can leak the information of the Sol Theros to. "Earth-Sphere or Coalition won't matter against those monsters now."

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Eclipse

Donna noticed a visibly shaken Suchart in the carrier as well. Judging by how he smelled he decided to drink away his sorrows. He was another victim of war just like her. She found an empty seat and strapped herself into it. Overhearing Keijo and Mercurio, she doubted that her father would have much purpose with OZ now with vengeance against Kecker in mind.
Milou pretended to hiss that Naina gets all the credit for infiltrating while he was just as good. "Well one sibling has to be better..." He mockingly muttered.

Tano was surprised with what he heard. What they were fighting were in fact Mobile Dolls. Remembering how they destroyed a fleet and a half he knew it will now be up to them to stop the Sol Thero before more damage can be done. "Right, I will issue our objective." He spoke to the surviving pilots. "We will continue with our pursuit of the Mobile Dolls. We saw first-hand what they can do to an battalion and a fleet and a half. We will stop them at all costs." He was used to how his subordinates died in front of him but he promised that they will have to survive.

Donna found herself not sleeping on the crates anymore and on a comfortable bed with pastel coloured blankets. She looked around the room to find where she was but it looked like her room in the Lindemann estate. She went out and the corridor familiar with her brother’s bedrooms and the staircase to the atrium. The light from the glass ceiling was shining on her as she was taking the stairs down.
She found the living room and gasped at what she saw. Her mother was there as if she wasn’t shot and aged since the photograph she held. Her father was there also looking much happier than she remembered with his beard shaven. “Hi, mother?” She started the conversation awkwardly.
Lady Lindemann looked at her daughter. “Donna you must have had a long night if you slept that much.” She responded. “It’s already 10am in the morning.”
Donna saw how her father was laughing it off. She was surprised that her father was lenient at all. A radio broadcasted news from the world with nothing on the war. The closest thing to a bad news would be an industrial accident in Singapore. “Isn’t there anything on the war?” She asked curiously.
Lord Lindemann laughed with what his daughter said. “Nonsense.” He shrugged off. “We haven’t had a war since the Mariemeia Rebellion. You must’ve been dreaming.”
Donna walked to her apparently alive mother. “And I thought you died.” She began. “And your death made our family miserable.”
Her mother smiled. “It’s okay.” She replied. “I’ll always be watching over you.”

Milou found Donna asleep. He would want to leave her alone but leaving for their next mission forced him to wake her up. “You need to wake up Donna.” He said as he shook her reluctantly.
Donna woke up and realised she was either dreaming of a world never achieved or a nightmare on what could’ve happened. When she got off the crates, she realised she had a sore back but managed to hide her expression of it from Milou.
“Sorry for waking you up that way.” He apologised. “But we will have to sortie out soon.”
Donna hid her emotions. “Okay.” She responded back. “I’ll get ready then.” They both got out of the dark part of the hanger to get prepared.

Lord Lindemann listened to what Blare said. “I was fooled into believing that the Coalition was responsible for my wife’s death.” He replied. “Turned out it was a way to make me loyal and contribute to the war.” He thought for a moment. “For my wife death indirectly allowed for the construction of the Gundams however, they may become the avatars of her vengeance when we see Kecker again.” He returned to Blare. “I hope for our unity to last long unlike the Falsons.” He expressed.

From what McNeil was able to salvage there were the double barrel beam gatling from a Sol Thero, improved sensors and a more powerful fusion reactor. It seems like something Oleg would want to upgrade with if he will fight the same enemy again. “Tsubarov, we’ve got some junk for yer’ Mobile Suit.” He announced. “It’ll be the best to take them anyway with how an entire battalion was annihilated with them.

Tano sortied with the survivors to follow the Sol Thero units. “I have seen those units on Luna before.” He said to the squad. “They were able to combat two fleets with small numbers and fared much better than the Panthers.”

Donna only saw the Gundam pilot's offer as more of a 'would you rather come with us and be a prisoner or become an enemy the next time we meet'. She was ready to voice her discontent but the Instructor stepped in. "We will accept the offer as well." He replied.
Donna muted the speaker to voice her frustration. "But Instructor, he is being right arrogant." She protested.
Instructor W was quick to reply. "Whether we like this pilot or not, we will have to cooperate." He reminded her. "We should prioritise on staying alive."
Donna sighed with frustration on the limited options and how the Instructor seemed to be corrent most of the time. She hoped there would be a decent meal at least. The arrogant Gundam pilot's voice got her attention again and got her speaker on again to reply. "We don't have any stealth system as I'm aware of." She responded. "Unless there is one installed and someone forgot to tell me about it." She saw Instructor W shrug as it's the Deathscythe that's meant to have stealth.
