-The days before they left, a report was filed based on the Thunderstorm, a railgun CIWS system capable of firing rounds into orbit from a small high frequency electromagnetic teslacoil buildup and released launching a heavy metal round capable of penetrating even a warship's heavy armor-

Marcus: Before the final battle we are to test the new weapons and the special defense system in particular, dig in and prepare to fight, no flying today let the new CIWS system deal with it we are on ground duty today.

Vanguard Squadron: Roger that sir.

Cpt. Gabriel: We will provide support and resupply.

Marcus: I'll start and take the lead on the field, Scramble how does the radar look?

Scramble: Clean, no wait, whoa incoming multiple incoming they are coming in fast, we suspect them to missiles, direction above aim high 80 degrees...mobile suit signals are among them as well.

Marcus: Roger you heard them experimental platform, prepare firing solution.

Test Operator: Roger that, all guns aim 80 degrees up and fire cluster rounds, set for remote detonation.

Loader: Ready!

Commander: Targets are in sight.

Test Operator: Firing!

-A loud charge up sequence happens and then a loud thud noise, bland and dull and one second later multiple explosions appear in the sky-

Test Operator: Missiles destroyed, multiple mobile suits still falling to the ground, most are damaged but some are undamaged, loading next shot, in the mean time deal with them with your new toys!

-Most of the men are in awe but Marcus speaks up-

Marcus: Ha Ha Ha, yes sir!

-The pirates mobile suits land but he notices something, their movements seem too mechanical, nothing what a normal pilot would do-

Marcus: Keep your wits about you, these guys may be drones.

Killjoy: You mean unmanned mobile suits?

Scramble: It's an old technology but still possible with a slight modification to the firmware. Be aware they will not hesitate to get the killing blow, however they will not risk themselves as easily as we would, so if they are at risk and they try to back up and attack, step in and take them out.

Cyclops: I knew that, alright newbie I'm going to follow you in, but test those new weapons first.

Killjoy: Yes, Redeye will go too.

Redeye: Y-yes ma'am.

Ripper:...

-They do as planned and Marcus leads the charge and pulls out his hybrid electric machine gun/ shotgun and one of the kunai-

Marcus: Let's see, who's first.

-A unit missing an arm is the first to land, and it is behind him and it charges Marcus-

Marcus: From behind? I don't think so!

-Marcus flips around and lodges the throwing knife into the mobile suits reactor and forces it towards the enemy, the damage to the generator it explodes and damages two other enemy units-

Marcus: A good testament to its sharpness but not what the data is looking for, how about this!

-Marcus throws the Kunai and the AI control unit is destroyed and the opposing mobile suit collapses-

Marcus: That's more like it, how is it on your end?

Killjoy: Awesome, these kunai are pretty sharp, however we will see just how well they do.

Redeye: Error reported, the kunai cannot penetrate ERA. The knife was deflected and destroyed in the deflecting explosion.

Cyclops: Noted, sending it back to HQ.

Marcus: Time to test out this weapon then.

-Marcus fires the weapon in shotgun form and it forces the one its aimed at backwards and it pushes two enemies to the ground, Marcus then changes it to rifle mode and fires frying the mobile suits, a unit attacks him from his right and Marcus quickly draws his sword and slices its hand off and he sees it, they converted their hand units to spinning drill servos-

Marcus: Be careful these guys have so pretty gnarly equipment, hand drills is nothing to laugh at...

Cyclops: Did you say drills? That is not good.

-Marcus gets in close and thrusts the sword through the suits lower section and pulls it out and backs up, allowing the suit to slouch over and fall-

Marcus: Let's mop up, Scramble status?

Scramble: More missiles inbound, direction 79 degrees straight up.

Marcus: Scramble, get the name of the ship launching those missile barrages.

Scramble: I have it, ship ID is the...my god it can't be...the Mjolner is still alive and kicking?

Marcus: Mjolner, you mean that extremely teched out mega ship that carries hyper advanced mobile suit carrying tools and able to carry hundreds of mobile suits, including a compliment of drones? That Mjolner?

Scramble: I can't be sure but that's what the ID scanning device says.

Marcus: If that's true these pirates are even more dangerous than command once thought. Especially if they have the resources to capture and maintain a ship of that size. Report that to HQ as well.

Scramble: Already done.

Marcus: Leave the ship be, it will continue to send missile barrage after missile barrage, it will bode well with the designers, showing that it will work well with defending cities from thermonuclear bombs and missiles as well as get rid of incoming mobile suits as it has shown that when scattered amongst the missiles, alone they would probably be destroyed easily.

Killjoy: Well that would come in handy defending the farm from pirates and large cities as well.

Marcus: Well I imagine it will be difficult to maintain, probably only allow them to be used by licensed users.

Cyclops: I suspected as much, after all it can be a pretty dangerous tool especially with a nuclear reactor at the center of the city powering the city and the weapons.

Marcus: I know, but still they should be able to handle it with their local militias. Anyways back to it, here they come.

Redeye: Watch out its more of those pitch black graze units.

Marcus: They are Graze E types be careful their hands and feet are drills and they can intercept slow moving projectiles with the auto cannon in their shoulder containers, so no heavy shells.

Scramble: I have 5 of them on radar, sir one of them is aiming straight for you.

Marcus: I can see that.

-The Graze E type drops from the parachute it comes down on and Marcus boosts backwards and the Graze E pursues carving Marcus off guard-

Marcus: Hnrg, Dammit.

-Marcus' unit is slapped backwards with the Graze type Es ax, which damages the canopy of Marcus's unit and through the crevasse in his mobile suits chest he can see the enemy graze which charges him with its hand outstretched-

Marcus: Not this time.

-Marcus begins to bleed from his forehead, realizing he must have hit his head or a piece of the cabin must have hit him in the head while his helmet sealed his helmet-

Marcus: Blade ready (inhale)

-Marcus draws his blade and steps forward and slices the Graze E type from the arm that was outstretched to grab his unit and slices the Graze E type from its hand to its opposing shoulder and the unit broke in 2 from being sliced open-

Marcus: Blade drawn (exhale)

-Marcus sheathes his blade and he sees Killjoy use her last kunai on the Graze E type which had walked right into the knife being thrown, Cyclops got inside another one of the E types guard and fires his rifle into the control unit killing the pilot, and Redeye outmaneuvered the E type and shot it from behind and Ripper kicked the leg out from under the E type and knocked it on its face and stomped the pilots cabin from behind-

Marcus: Tester how does that data look?

Test operator: It is running smoothly we have gained enough power to strike that ship from below, shall we proceed?

Marcus: Negative, if they do a constant bombardment you won't be able to fight it off. However they think they can capture this prototype system, maintain fire on any missiles, bombs or mobile suits that are dropped from the ships hangar bay.

-More missiles and now large bombs were being dropped from the ship and they screamed towards the ground, and the CIWS intercepted them and blew them up quickly-

Test operator: Testing complete, withdrawing weapons platform from the line.

Marcus: Roger that, all units we are to return to our skiffs and head to space, we are going whale hunting.

???: This is Crescent Moon we are on the way to take down target Blue Whale. Heading north by northeast at grid point G336 by F295. Ascending to planet exiting altitude.

Marcus: This is Vanguard Leader we will be joining you Galleon Squadron.

Crescent Moon: We copy you Vanguard, we will lead the way, rally point will be at the marked point.

Marcus: Roger that, see you there.

Engineer: Come on back sir I will replace the whole panel on that mobile suit and change out the monitor, we will have it ready by the time we go back to battle.

Marcus: Roger that.

-Vanguard gets aboard their ship and they take off for space and meet up at the rally point, and taking out this mega ship would end the war with the Pirates, braking their will to fight-
