—They leave warp and prepare for battle in which the ship goes through immediate deployment in which the air locks activate and the internals of the ship are closed down and the hangar bay doors are opened—

Catapult operator: Ready.

Riker: Red Squadron move out!

—Riker gets on the catapult and launches, Sarah gets on the other and launches, and the same goes for the rest of the squadron—

SWACS Supernova: We have eyes on multiple planets they all have villages but that also have at least one armed bunker, and the radiation suggests that they have materials and mobile suits, we also suspect that the ace squadron that Red Squadron encountered is lurking in the Mulungu A belt cluster. Mulungu A and C are gas giants so we can only tell that there are bases but we can't get a lay of the land because of all the gas in the atmosphere, it's just too dense. Mulungu B we were able to map as since it's a metal world that's where they build their ships, chances are a whole armada along with their capital ship is waiting there, the others are not as well defended as they were wiped out when Mulungu attacked. I would go after their ship building platform first but it is heavily defended.

Gen. Jackson: We will deploy our forces as one and end them with one sweep.

—The alarm goes off and it displays a station that wasn't in the mapping data, and it was gathering particles to fire a beam weapon and wipe out the combined forces of the MWDF—

Riker: Red Squadron mobilize! Target: Station based super weapon to our 12 o clock high. Connect datalink, and send it to the ships, this enemy isn't a ghost and remember the ships can't immediately fire, they need to get a lock on the target.

Carr: Dammit I can't believe they knew where we were going to drop out of warp.

Riker: We can't make that assumption yet, there might be more than one of these things lurking around.

—They zoom towards the space station, in hopes that they can destroy it before it causes any damage to the fleet—

Riker: Aim for the particle intake first, we can reduce how many particles it can take in so it's firing ability is affected.

Viper: We will go for its main weapon, we need to keep it from firing.

SWACS Supernova: Incoming enemy forces, it's a battle group of 110 mobile suits, no more than that, they are coming in force, everyone to your battle stations they may have detached a whole battalion of mobile suits, but these ones are different...they have GN drives, all ships launch anti beam depth charges, those GN drives run their whole weapons systems, and be aware that they can use trans-am at any time, we are counting about 20 of them, be aware that they may have anti ship weaponry on them and plan to deploy it against us.

Gen. Jackson: Launch anti beam depth charges, all weapons set to maximum charge and try to hit them from afar before they can hit us. Those GN drives can use trans-am so fire the anti air cannons manually, watch for friendly fire, don't lock into them before firing, look their direction, predict their course and hold fire if they flee behind one of our ships.

Fleet Admiral Cain: All advancing forces fire on the mobile weapons system. We must keep it from firing, once we have subdued the beast, we will split into fleets and move to each place with an enemy base on them. We will also need to make sure that they don't have a solar satellite cannon like the gryps satellite cannon back at home.

Riker: I thought Gryps was retired considering the fact that it's an over 60 year old weapon, it's literally a relic of the Zeon wars and the Laplace conflict.

Carr: No they rebuilt it and fixed it up, if I calculate it right it probably took about 9 trillion to update it with the current software, energy generators, compensators and heat sinks.

Riker: But what about the people that live there?

Carr: They are still there, it's still a colony after all.

—They quickly advance on the weaponized satellite and attack—

Riker: Damn this thing is tough, watch out for the defenses.

—As soon as he says that the satellite opens up, and the whole thing looks like it's flashing with weapons fire—

Red 12: IM HIT, MAYDAY MAYDAY I HAVE LOST CONTROL, AHHHH (The comms signal cuts off)

—Riker looks over and sees that his suit has crashed after being shot down as well as his suit exploded on impact—

Riker: Shit, man down, we have a man down.

Carr: We need to finish this quickly, if we don't we will all suffer the same fate.

—Riker has to quickly decide between destroying the satellite or taking down the GN particle using mobile suits on an intercept course for Vipers team—

Riker: Team split up, Carr this is your chance, since your my second in command prove to me that you can take charge.

Carr: Yes Sir!

Riker: Good, Red 2, 4 and 6 to 11 go and destroy the particle collector and the defense turrets on the weapons station.

—Carr and his detachment peels off and goes to destroy the stations defenses, while Carr, Sarah and Jerome go on the defensive and take on the ace mobile suits on their way to attack Viper's team—

Riker: All units if you have your special toys, now's the time to use them.

Sarah: With pleasure.

Jerome: Yes sir.

—Sarah deploys the beam magnum used by Riker and Jerome UPenn's his side canister showing hand deployable Willy Pete Grenades with extra air added to help the Willy Pete actually burn in a vacuum—

Riker: Right me too then.

—On the way to Mulungu Gundam Burner went through drastic changes the armor was thickened by taking panels off of mobile suits he had defeated in battle and making improvised armor plating that stuck to the outside of its normal armor, the cannon was upgraded from a dober gun to 120mm assault rifle with selectable type rounds, with options of high explosive, heat, sabot, tracking and air burst, his verniers were upgraded to Talgeese III verniers, in which it was overhauled to carry an extra 180mm three round burst cannon that he could use when he was grappling with an enemy in which it would be used to cut into the enemy's armor and force them back making an opening, Riker also had to learn to use this over time in which he had done tests with the G Force test program in which the Gs were enough to kill him but he still pushed to be able to pilot it without passing out or dying, in which he succeeded—

Riker: I'm going ahead, Assault Rifle set to burst fire, load sabot rounds.

Sarah: I'm not too far behind I'll fall in behind you.

—Sarah's Psycho Graze has additional boosters to keep up with the Burner, thrusters that came off of the Byarlant backpack, in which it had a space and ground mode, the ground mode would use the smaller thrusters and can move the suit around quicker, where the larger ones were for space and connected to the outside of the smaller ones, making the thrust output on par with the Burner—

Riker: Red 5 stay with Jerome, back each other up, and don't die.

—They rush towards the enemy ace unit and Riker lets out three bursts of sabot rounds as a way to interfere with the enemy squadron coming in—

???: I see, we meet again Gundam.

Riker: Lets go!

—Riker draws his heat rod sword and they grapple, and strike in head on maneuvers but neither makes a hit, until they come up to grapple again and then the unknown Pilot comes up to the burner and gives it a kick shove bouncing Riker around in his seat—

???: I guess we will have to settle this at range.

Riker: Good try but I have the upper hand here.

—Norma Kai fires and hits the 180mm on the backpack in which Riker ejects it before it can explode—

Riker: Your good, got a name?

Norma Kai: Norma Kai, you fought my younger brother, Vlad Kai I can see why you give him trouble he was never a match for you to begin with, but our earlier exchange just proves that we can go toe to toe with each other, and you are?

Riker: MWDF LtMajor Riker Lucas.

—They draw their swords and hold position and stare at each other—

Sarah: What are you doing attack!

Vlad Kai: They are with their minds, by now thousands of scenarios have been thrown, now they are waiting to see who makes the first move.

—Sarah is in grapple and is zooming around against Vlad Kai—

Sarah: Time to pay your unit back for what you did to me!

—Sarah's other arms perform separate actions where the laser cannon arm fires at two units and even though it just grazes them it destroys them—

Sarah: Two down 18 to go.

Riker: I guess this is like a duel between two knights but with us it's different, this isn't about honor, this time survival is on the line here.

—Norma Kai looks at him sword drawn and both are prepared to strike—

Sarah: Jerome need help.

Jerome: I got you.

—Jerome fires his shotgun, ripping apart the 5 GN drive carrying mobile suits holding Sarah's Psycho Graze—

Red 5: Target hit, I took his arm off, he's retreating.

Jerome: Hunt them down don't let them reach Viper's team.

—Riker and Norma Kai strike at the same time, and Rikers shield is cut in half while Norma Kais head is damaged—

Norma Kai: I guess you win on the duel, but it's just the beginning!

Riker: I guess so.

—They both pull their rifles and begin a duel to the death spiraling and making impact at points of weakness—

Sarah: I've never seen him fight like this before.

Jerome: So LtMajor. Riker is capable of this.

Riker: It's time to release the full restraint, Athena, restraint level...Zero
