—All the troops were amazed at the spectacle, an AI was going toe to toe with a GN drive that had activated trans-am—

Riker: It's time.

Athena: Roger, beginning experimental weapons use.

—Out of the arms and legs, GN particle collector scoops appeared, and a hole opened up on the Vernier thruster pack of the updated Gundam Burner and a Solar Furnace appeared—

Athena: Trans-Am, mixed with Minovsky particles.

Sarah: The last time he did this was...

—Sarah realizes what's had happened on the battle where she was hurt—

Sarah: Red Squadron fall back, Riker is doing the thing from last time.

Jerome: Oh crap.

—All red Squadron units fall back and alert Viper to what is happening as well, he falls back and makes a defensive line 500 meters out front—

Riker: This time, I have it down, this time it will work.

—The GN particle generator and the Minovsky particle generator work in unison and before where he had an error in synchronization of the two units he did not fail again—

Athena: The drives are a match, synchronization achieved at generator use of 30%

Riker: Right, now its time to finish this, all units return to fighting area, the Hybrid suit is a success.

Sayla: So it actually worked, I never thought I would be part of creating the hybrid drive system.

Gen. Jackson: Hybrid, Suit.

Fleet Admiral Cain: What are you waiting for, all units charge!

—He says this then all the ships and their mobile suits are on the move and they begin opening fire on the station and any outlying enemy mobile suits—

Riker: Norma, lets get behind the satellite. Dying to enemy weapons fire would do neither you or me any justice.

Athena: Trans-Am time limit, 10 minutes remain.

Riker: he should run out at some point then his output should fall, once I run out I have an extra generator, so I can continue going toe to toe with him.

—Their fight begins, at first, shields collide and a grappling battle begins, they then begin a shooting battle in which they go into the enemy hangar of the satellite, the satellite depressurizes and air locks do what they can to keep the station from imploding, the shooting battle continues, its extremely dark and the only light is the weapon fire inside the satellite, in which they tear apart the inside of the satellite as they shoot at each other, they run out of ammo, then they draw their energy swords—

Riker: No ammo left, I field and Minovsky particles at maximum, blade field at maximum.

—They both draw their blades—

Norma Kai: Blade drawn.

—They continue to fight and they realize they are each other's equal, but neither can stand for it as they continue with their blades in which they go deeper and deeper into the satellite and come out the other side—

Fleet Admiral Cain: Watch your fire, do not hit the friendly mobile suit, if they come into your line of fire, move your aim elsewhere.

Riker: Damn you, I won't allow you to hurt my allies.

—Riker shoves him and they hold in their fighting stance for their swords—

Riker: Time to make this sword longer, and cut down my enemies.

—Riker takes his second beam saber and connects it to his other beam saber, in which his blade becomes longer and it becomes a two handed beam saber, at this point both of their GN drives come out of trans-am and they wait for the other to make a move—

Carr: Go around them, charge the satellite!

—They move around them and Norma makes a wrong move by looking at the ships and mobile suits going around them, and Riker initiates the attack—

Riker: I think it best if you fall back, that satellite base is going to be destroyed.

Norma Kai: Perhaps I should, Ace unit fall back, this battle is lost, it's not worth fighting this battle thats already lost.

—This is confirmed when the satellite explodes and fragments of the satellite go everywhere and hit ships and mobile suits alike—

Gen. Jackson: all mobile suits fall back behind your motherships, if too many of those fragments hit you, your suit will be disabled.

—All the mobile suits fall back behind their motherships, and the motherships put their commanding deck inside the hull in battle mode to avoid a fragment coming and depressurizing the ship—

Riker: Red Squadron, hold fast.

—The storm of debris subsides and on the battlefield there are units with distress calls all over—

static: Help, mayday mayday! -Then another- static: Medic! I need a medic!*

Riker: Red Squadron track down all the distress signals, some may need medical help, get to it.

Fleet Admiral Cain: All units ignore the distress signals and head to your mission points.

Riker: General, what do we do?

Gen. Jackson: Get as many of the distress signaling units along our path, if they are out front of us, get them quickly, if they get hit it may kill them if they are in critical condition.

Jerome: Red 5 is missing sir.

Riker: Dammit, search for him, Go!

Gen. Jackson: But!

Riker: No buts, that kid had just started and he has a girlfriend back on earth, I'm not going to give him a bad impression of his teammates, and not give him a bad impression of the military he works for, I have never asked for anything, please, at least grant me this.

Gen. Jackson: Fine, all units belonging to the Olympus Mons, search and rescue, move quickly, we don't want to piss off the fleet admiral.

—They search around and five units are found, 2 became POWs as their mobile suits were damaged by the explosion and belonged to the satellite defense forces, and the rest were from other units and they were returned to their respective units, Red 5 was found in critical condition as when the debris flew by in the explosion, one hit the back section of the ReZEL throwing it off course and another penetrated the canopy and went into his gut, his helmet visor was covered in blood but he had survived just barely as his suit was cut up and he was freezing—

Riker: Dammit, that kid better pull through I don't want to feel responsible if he dies, and I don't want to go back to the earth to tell his girlfriend that her boyfriend died in an explosion.

Jerome: He will make it, he's a tough guy, when you and Sarah were busy he took out the stations defense turrets with ease him going to town on the station with that shotgun almost made me jealous.

Sarah: Should I notify the captain about our findings?

Riker: Not yet, we will interrogate the POWs first then report our findings, if I make a request, I want it to pay off so it's not a waste of time.

—Riker does this and finds out plenty about the bases on the gas Giants—

Riker: Share this intel with the armadas, we are going to be very busy.

—Riker goes to the Hangar bay and looks at Red 5s ReZEL and asks Sayla for tools to repair it and he does it with Saylas help and he also adds more armor to every Mobile suit in his unit, taking metal plating and leftovers from destroyed mobile suits to armor up his allies and does so in a way that is effective, Carr was given an inch of extra plating in the pilots cabin section and gives additional armor to his shield, Jeromes suit is given better armor plating and same goes for Franks suit—

Riker: They better feel grateful, doing this takes much longer and is time consuming.

Sayla: They kind of have to, adding armor and an anti-beam coating to each and every single one is no easy task.

Carr: Huh, I guess that can work, I'll have to get used to the added weight but it's doable.

—They head for the asteroid base of the ace squadron with a whole fleet, with the Olympus Mons, 2 battleships, 2 carriers, 10 cruisers, 20 destroyers and 15 frigates—

Riker: I'm coming for you, Vlad and Norma Kai, I hope your ready you jerks.

—Riker trains in preparation to fighting them, he used the data from the recent battle and did two on one battles where he was outnumbered and used the data collected from fighting the ace units, he would do this every day on the way there after lifting weights then going to sleep, and he repeated this daily in preparation for the fight with his nemesis—
