"Return to base NOW!", a womans voice screamed

"negative" the young pilot said with a smirk "Sir Kururugi is still down their"

"he can handle himself get...bleep" the communicator shut off

"Well damn... the communicator must have malfunctioned " he said with a bigger smirk as he moved his finger from the switch.

"I owe him this" the young pilot said to himself

"Safety protocols disengaged" the computer said in its monotone voice "health risk assessed , potential organ damage at high Gs , recommend reducing speed"

"then the AA guns will rip me to shreds , yeah, fucking brilliant idea computer" he thought as he locked on to the target.

3 Hours And Thirty Minuets earlier

"The geffion disturbers will be disabled by the HAAFs ,(High Altitude Attack Frames) they aren't effected by them, from there the Knight of seven will advance,... any questions"

"No your highness!!!" The solders chorused

"Good" said Second Prince Schneizel el Britannia " then carry out your duties, defeating the EU today will bring us that much closer to victory... glory to Britannia."

"GLORY TO BRITANNIA!!!" the Solders Yelled Zealously

Stepping up to the podium replacing Schneizel, Lloyd Asplund said in his usually jovial manner" we move out in 3 hours … get ready HAAF pilots I want plenty of good data form you" and with a strangely feminine wave he dismissed the solders.

"So Cécile which one will give us the best data" Lloyd asked

"Lloyd!" Cécile said sharply then sweetly added "we talked about this"

" Okay Okay … but which one" Lloyd added hastily

"well" she sighed "Corporal Notre seems to do well in the simulations"

"The tall dark one?... interesting... he dose owe Suzaku a big one ... you think he will try to pay it back today?" he said

" I think ", she said pausing in thought "I think he will do everything in his power to keep the battle short and decisive ."

"end it quickly ...why... to save people?" Lloyd asked

"sounds like someone else we know" Cécile remarked cheerfully as they walked into the control room to set up for the impending battle.

Present time

"sir, its not going well" the communicator squawked in, "all but one of the HAAFs have been shot down"

"which one is still up" Suzaku immediately responded.

"ummm... it seems to be Corporal Gerico Notre... wait I have a comm request for you... it's Notre"

"Geri !!!" Suzaku screamed into the comm " return to base the mission is scrapped"

"bullshit" Geri said, in a way that could only be described as pure confidence. " I've got the target locked... I'm taking the shot" and before Suzaku could respond a reading appeared on his screen.

"The geffion disturbers, they've....they've been deactivated " Suzaku whispered in faint disbelief. then seizing the moment he ordered "all units charge we have the green light!"

As Gerico returned to base he began to shiver with excitement. The victory was his doing, no one else. He was the hero and it felt great. As he got closer to the base his stomach began to feel odd, but he shrugged it off and continued.

When he landed at base he was met with a flurry of excitement stemming from Lloyd.

"That was absolutely spectacular the best data I've had " Lloyd"and on a field test"

Gerico simply replied "thank you" as another wave of nausea hit him

"are you alright " Cécile asked she then added scolding him "I told you to come back, thats too much for your first day in the machine"

" Cécile" Lloyd said with a sigh "it was a combat operation after all"

"yes" Cécile remarked "it was, you should have let him practice before now, it was too soon"

"but I couldn't pass up the chance for such good data" Lloyd whined only continuing the squabble, but Gerico had stopped listening a while ago. Before he could step away he began coughing. He stood Looking at the hand that had been covering his mouth, and with startled terror said,

"Thats blood, why am I..."

He passed out
