On the Northern most tip of the Island of Corsica, known as Cap Corse the Zeon military preparing for the arrival of Major General Lena. In side the communications relay of the base a young comm. officer relays a message to General Romanov. "General Romanov, this is Lena I have important information to relay to Commander Ravena pending my arrival, please ready a secured comm. channel for my arrival. My E.T.A is 10 minutes, ill be coming in through the North Earth Perimeter please have a car waiting for me at touch down" Lena said as he cut off the comm. incase a message was trying to be sent to him. "Sir, It will take me about 5 minutes to get the comm. line up for General Lena's repo..." the young comm. officer was abruptly interupted by Romanov when he stated "Have the line setup to broadcast from the briefing room, No one is to enter without my permission". The stern Romanov had a look of concern on his face as he turn and left the top of the tower. "Why would Lena come this far just to do his de-briefing, there was a base closer to his location..." Michael had thought to himself as he reached the bottom and his car was waiting.
The ten minutes pass fairly quickly as a message from the P.A. system announces Lena's arrival at the base. Touching down near the hanger bay, the Formula 91 enters into a portal mobile suit dock where he orders his suit looked over and tuned up. As he walks to the elevator door, Lena is shocked to notice Michael standing there. "Get over here, we have a meeting with Tycho in three minutes" Michael barks has begins closing the doors to the elevator. The two don't exchange words; just doing what the need to, to get the meeting over with. The two jump into the car and speed off down the road heading for a large two story bulding about 400 yards down the road. "Lets go, we have no time to waste" Michael said as he jumped out the car and headed into the building, Lena followed in close suit trying to get Michael to tell him anything but didn't recieve an answer to anything he asked. Soon they entered a room with a picture of Tycho Ravena on screen. "Sir, General Lena is here to report his findings from the assault on the Artic Research Lab" stated Romanov as he took a seat.
Intelligence Report
Inside of the brightly lite room, Croccifixio stood infront of the screen and began stating his findings. "Commander Ravena, as of four hundred hours on the twenty second I had infultrated the heavly defended Artic Research Lab under protection of the Earth Federations Polar Companies. Having initially found a number of production factors, I began to explore the complex after hiding the Formula 91 within the compound. I found that these factories were in the process of bulding a number of new mobile suits incleuding an upgraded version of the powered GM, classified as GM III. This mobile suit has proved to be a versitile machine, able to be outfitted with a number of missile launchers when the roll called for it. As you can see in the battle footage, it is very mobile and agile mobile suit greatly improved on from the Powered GM. This is believed to become the new frontline mobile suit of the Earth Federations ground forces" Croccifixio said as he switched to the next set of footage.
"As you can see here, this mobile suit classified as the Gunblastor, is a high speed mobile suits, and from the looks of it armament it a ment to be primarily a Space use mobile weapon. It is smaller then the average mobile suit but 4x as fast as most mobile suits active today. " Croccifixio laughed as he remembered how weak these mobile suits were .
"The final mobile suit I had incountered was an Artillary type of mobile suit, resembling the Guncannon. This mass produced version is faster, and better eqiupted then the original guncannon once used by the Earth Federation during the creation of our Government all those years ago. This mobile suit uses primarly shell firing armament. Unfortunatly I have something more important to report then just the new defenses being built the the Federation". Lena signed for a moment having to reveal the information he had uncovered during his mission. "General Ravena, when I had began my infultration of the base on foot, I found a new type of Gundam being produced. From what I saw, this mobile suit was near completetion. As you can see in here, thought only in its components form, it will be larger then the average mobile suit we have" Lena stated. Tycho sat contently in his mobile suit recieving the broadcast, contomplating what he should order his troops todo.Twenty minutes pass as the Generals argue back and forth about what should be done with this information, finally Ravena spoke up."Ready the Earth forces to assault the Artic Research lab, we will show those pitiful Federation troops that the destruction of Berlin Base will not go unpuni...." Tychos message got cut out as Sirens inside the base begin to wail.
First Contact
In side of the base, soldiers run to there battle stations. A message blasts over the p.a. system of the base "Enemy forces incoming, there are 7 incoming unidentified Federation mobile suits. All soldiers man your battle stations. This is not a drill" a scared voice states.
"Mother fucker, you allowed your self to be tracked down to this base" Yelled Michael as he bolted from his chair. "Hurry up and get to your mobile suit, most of the pilots are at the south end of the base and will take them atleast 10 minutes to get here" Michael continued as he jetted from the room.
Lena stood there for a minute in shock, believing the Federation must be trying something. As the moment pasted the bases the bases Anti-Mobile Suit Turrets come alive. The sound of wizing shells and the roar of missile begins to sound around the base as the enemy comes into range. The mobile suit hangers begin to come to life as the pilots scurry around preping the suits for launch. From the numerous hangers 15 Xamel and 20 Gouf FT have already deployed. "Protect the Hangers and ships until most pilots arrive" Michael said over a closed curcuit comm from an unknown location on the base.
In this time Lena made his way back to the Mobile Hanger the F91 docked at. "Tune up is only 50 percent complete General" a technicion yells to lena as he jumps into miss mighty mobile suit and brings it to life. "All personal, the enemy has entered the base, I repeat the enemy has entered the base" a formilar voice to Croccifixio said. From within the Damonstar, Sentinal was about to launch. "Protect this ship at all costs men" order Rondell Hart as he launched the Sentinal.
Mean while the EF forces hear a message from the Gouf. "Okay gentlemen. The Strike and the V2 will take out the forces head on while the Nu and I will and the Stamen and Hardygun will flank them from the left and right. Got that?" The pilot of the Gouf hears only a resounding "whatever" as his forces' verniers ignite and neglect his orders rushing straight on at the defending armanents.
The anti-MS turrets let loose their containments at the attacking forces while the back up defenders for Zeon rushed up to meet their adversaries. The F91 was first to meet the attackers as he was the fastest and locked beam sabers with the Strike. The slower suit tried to strike back but the F91 managed to fly behind it and grabbed it in a bear hug while firing it's vulcan into the head at point blank. The F91 then threw the suit at one of the missile turrets tearing up the Strike. All of a sudden the F91's systems started malfunctioning and only had seconds to see the cause through his visuals before they shut down. The Gouf had hit it with it's heat snake and had shocked his systems taking out the F91 and leaving it disabled. The Xamels converged on the Gouf and a rush of beam blasts were about to hit it when the Nu blocked it with it's funnels' I -Field. Promptly the Nu began to turn all of its funnels on one of the Xamels turning it into swiss cheese while the Gouf fired off the machine guns into the chest of another.
Elsewhere the V2 and Stamen were dashing through the Gouf FTs while being shot at by the turrets. The Stamen suddenly dropped down as the V2 opened up it's beam wings to the max and sliced up fifteen of the Goufs that had surrounded them. They began to pick off a few more with their beam rifles. The V2 was rocked by two missles and the Stamen turned to see the Xi and the Sentinel moving in. A beam rifle blast flew at the Stamen but was blocked by his shield, tearing the thing up. Throwing away the now useless shield the Stamen rushed at the Xi and sliced at it narrowly missing the suit. "You bastards dare attack us at our own facility" yelled Romanov as he unlessed a fury of missiles into the Stamen, causing it to engulf in flames. The turrets focused on the two hindered suits blowing off armor as they fell.
Inside the base a man monitoring the battle situation alerted the captain. "Sir! We just lost 25 percent of the missile turrents and some of the vulcans!" "Damnit! What was it?" "I don't know but it was too fast for the visual camera to follow.". "General Romanov, we have an unidentified suit inside the base, it was to fast for the cameras to get a clear picture of. Its heading towards your location as we speak." In nearly an instant, a massive red mobile suit appears before Romanov with a beam sword in hand, almost as if he wanted to be attack by the Deimos. "your going to die bastard" yells Michael over the comm as he dreew a hyper beam saber and equipt his shield. "Pilot of the Xi Deimos, surrender now, or else I will kill you" a deep voice said over the comm. The red beast bursted towards Xi and slashed mightly down upon the suit vaporing part of the arm that had the shield attached to it. A grunt of fusration was let out by Romanov as he tried to mount a counter attack against the mobile suit, but it seemingly disappeared instantly before the hyper beam sword crushed into it.
"My my, is this the best that the Zeeks can put me up against? no wonder why this has been so easy. Go back to the colonies and tell them the red plague will soon be greating them" the voice from within the mobile suit said, as it began to give off a blood red glow. The power of the beam sword began to over flow making it seem like the sword its self was alive. With a blink of the eye the mighty red mobile suit had cleved the Xi Deimos in twin, seperating the mobile suit just below the reactor stopping it from killing the pilot. "Mission completed, all units begin to fall back" issued the red mobile suit over an open comm channel.
Outside the base the F91 had returned to functionality and aimed it's VSBR at the retreating Gouf. "Just as I thought, running away in the heat of battle" Lena stated firmly as unleashed a maelstrom of beam fire unto the mobile suit. Numerous beams strikes the Gouf when the glowing red beast appears behind the Gouf, blocking the remain beam fire with its beam shield. Lena was scared, the disbelief that they could have completed the mobile suit in such a short amount of time, kept him frozen cold. The mobile suit raised its cannon looking object and ripped through the head of the tattered mobile, leaving Lena blind to anything outside of his cockpit. Lena is rocked in the cockpit as the mobile suit is slashed into pieces.
"I ordered a retreat, now follow my orders or end up like the rest of this pitiful pilots". The remaining EF units escaped from the base. "Is everyone alive?" asked Kai as he noticed all but the red suit had taken heavy damage. The tattered mobile escaped back from the way they had came, giving them a clean escape.
The aftermath
The clean up of the base started nearly immediatly after the attackers left the radar area. Pilots were helping to remove debris and rubble from destroyed defenses, searching for any survivers that could have made it through. Smoke clouds lifted from base shrouding the view of the rest of the island. Staff members on leave begin to flood the base, a number with horrid expressions on there face. Rumors quickly spread after there arrival, of what really happened during the battle, and that it was all a setup to keep the base personal occupied while a massacre had happened . The Genocide of civilians whose only crimes were that of disagreeing with the Earth Federal Government.
An eerie silence fills the island, as dull gas clouds disappear from areas once filled with life. The sounds of children no long sound, the engines of cars no longer hum, People that were in the streets look as through the are in a deep sleep, not moving, not breathing, no sounds of life at all. From in the base even the most experianced soldier, begins to weeps as images of death are shown by recon teams sent out from the base. The sadness felt in the base and the rest of the island turns to anger as the ones who were thought by most to be the good guys have turned to terrorism to get there way, to try and force the Zeons hand. The result would end up starting a war that would end all wars, a war without rules.
Mind of a Soldier
The once brilliant white armour of the Nu was now a dull grey, scars running across it’s hull in various locations. Shaking his head, Ryu looked across the force that had served as a distraction. They had been successful in their mission, but he couldn’t believe that he had helped in the murder of innocent civilians. He pounded the inside of his cockpit, “What the hell did we just do?”
“We instigated order, Ryu,” came Kai’s voice. He sounded rather calm for what had just happened, “And we ensured that those damned Zeeks will no longer be troubling us.” There was a pause, then he spoke again, “Having second thoughts? It’s too late for that; what’s done is done.”
“Why were we even a part of it? Why would we do something like that?” Ryu shouted. “Surely there was a better way to… to deal with them! Instead, we slaughter countless innocents?”
The Gouf suddenly stopped and turned towards Ryu and his Nu. Kai shook his head in disgust, “Don’t you see? There is no other way to get to them! The only way to ensure order is by unendingly putting fear into their hearts!” The Gouf took a few steps towards the grey Nu, the single eye camera making a whirring sound as it adjusted to the changes.
“There could’ve been another way!” Ryu shouted; something was about to happen, one of them was going to snap.
“What?” Kai asked, laughing. “Are you one of them now?” The left arm of his mobile suit raised up; Kai knew he still had a few rounds in his machine gun if there was need to use them. There was a tension in the air - this whole argument could be ended just by pulling the trigger, thought Kai as he focused on the controls of his suit.
“You’re serious, aren’t you, Kai?” There was a distinct feeling of hostility coming from Kai, and Ryu reached towards his controls, flipping a switch to activate the vulcan cannons. “You’re accusing me of being one of them when I just saw what we did? I can’t believe I ever became involved with this! No - I’m leaving. Now.”
The Nu turned and Kai shook his head, “I can’t let you do that.” His finger closed on the trigger and the machinegun on his left arm sang, an instrument of death. The bullets clashed against the back of the Nu, the chant of the reaper ripping holes in the back of the Gundam the ultimate sign of the end of any friendship that might have existed.
As his Gundam toppled from the close range impact, Ryu’s head rang with the sound of death on metal. Struggling, he pulled his suit aloft, trying to keep it standing.; he turned the suit towards the Gouf and let his own part in the symphony of battle, his vulcan cannons roaring with delight as they fired their deadly slugs into the Gouf. Before Kai could even react, the hand of the Nu slid up, pulling the beam saber from it’s back; moments later, the sword’s voice joined the chorus of the devil, desperately urging to drive itself into the weak metal of the Gouf.
Just as fast as the beam sword had appeared, Gouf’s heat saber found it’s own way into the fray. Sparks flew as the sabers collided. Ryu knew he had little chance of winning a straight out fight; those initial shoots had rattled his mind, and he was finding it hard to concentrate. He was seeing things that he couldn’t believe; he was able to almost predict the motions of the Gouf; but, as the Nu parried the blade several times, Ryu’s senses began to slip away. He reached for his forehead and felt blood; when the Nu had been hit from behind, he must’ve hit his heads on the controls. His sight was growing dim; suddenly, his Gundam shook.
Kai laughed, “You’ve given up?” His heat saber tore into the armor of the Nu. With a quick cleave, the head of the Nu came rolling off, leaving Ryu essentially blind to the combat, “Did you hear me? I asked if you were giving up!” No answer came from the Nu, and Kai drove the saber close to the cockpit of the fallen suit, “Answer me!”
Inside the black cockpit of the Nu, Ryu’s eyes fluttered shut. Yes, even closed, his eyes saw the Gouf, saw the saber held close to the cockpit. Was it really his eyes that saw it though? He felt as if he were watching it from someone else’s body… “ANSWER ME!” a voice roared from the radio. Ryu lost all emotions; all he knew was that he must survive. He felt the fins separating from his suit, at least what were left of them; he saw them in his mind as they generated a field in front of his suit, making the Gouf fall backwards and drawing the saber away.
Slowly, Ryu pulled the Nu to it’s feet, “What would you have me answer?” The backpack of the Nu slid open and the grip for the hyper bazooka slid out. Ryu’s eyes focused dimly on the Gouf as he drew the bazooka out. He wasn’t even paying attention to the others any more; his only goal was survival against this one. He hefted the bazooka to his suit’s shoulder, readied to fire; his finger wrapped around the trigger and pulled.
It was the final cacophony of the philharmonic triumph. The weapon screeched the final notes of the battle, and the Gouf fell to the ground, virtually obliterated. Lucky, Ryu thought, dropping the bazooka and turing away from the fallen suit once more, the fins had still been active enough to protect him from death. The damaged fins returned to their housing and the damaged Nu limped from battle, never to be seen amongst the ranks of the Earth Federation again.
