-After the last battle it was proof that the Demon of Neo-Britain survived his encounter with a bullet, and showed their enemies something to be afraid of it raven spread throughout the colonies back in the solar system and farther beyond "The demon that was shot and still remains strong" it even was heard by his enemies and some would think it best to turn tail and run rather than fight the demon BX, but now the time has come once again to fight and conquer, despite what was said-
Admiral Fox: Alright, all ships, their crew and mobile suit pilots, the day has finally come despite the setbacks, today we attack, today we liberate those who ever wanted this from the start, today begins the dawn of a new day, now go bring the sun to them, upon your backs ships, crew, troops and pilots of the order of the Red Sun!
-All the ships launch and head for a direct course that is later in, and an operator begins the countdown-
Operator: Jump beginning in 5...4...3...2...1, JUMP!
-They jump and where they began haunts them like ghosts of the past, the remaining hulking pieces of the satellite cannon floating in space, pieces of mobile suits and weaponry as well as bullet casings and electable energy charge shells, the fly towards the last stornghold, the best possible place the XFacility in the asteroid belt and they do this without incident, almost like they snuck by without being noticed-
Riker: Just like the old times, let's secure this facility like last time...wait what?
-When they arrive the facility has been blown up and a unnatural phenomenon is happening there at the same time, lightning ripping through the void of space without a reason, the colony destroyed along with the facilities and reminders of the raid to capture the location, the HMPC Array was moved from where it was, the cables still sitting from when it was taken and the lightning ripping showed it without hesitation-
Riker: The HMPC Array has been taken, that's definitely not good.
Jordan: Forget that, the facility has been completely destroyed.
Riker: Well no standing on something that is a gravity based location for a while.
-They stop and as soon as that happens, a shot rips through the asteroid field, it is a beam rifle round and it is immediately stopped by the lightning but it sparks and burns at the outer hull of the Olympus Mons, Riker gets into his suit and quickly deploys-
Riker: This one is mine...
-He moves quickly and uses his advanced sensor array and quickly finds the shooter, who promptly shoots at him in which he blocks it with his shield and charges the enemy and slices it in half, it was a GN-X Mk4 with a particle cannon-
Riker: Should have came out here with backup.
-After cleaning out the enemy scouts, they set up a temporary base among the asteroids in the asteroid belt and started making their plan to assault each planet and destroy the operations of the empire-
Gen. Jackson: Olympus Mons to all ships, in the fleet, we have our first plan set in motion to destroy the enemies ship building and docking facilities in and around each planet, from there we will use those beach heads to attack enemy bases on both Mulungu planet A and B we expect both of them to have at least one planetary base with multiple outposts all over each planet, we also expect them to have mining operations, if the chance arises steal or destroy those resources, we can use them to build a new facility here and despite that the main priority is to destroy enemy points of power. The final operation will be to assault and capture the capital city and capture or kill the so called "emperor" if anything gets in our way take it down, however the ROE still applies, no civilian casualties, and if you get a chance to help out cause gain popularity and respect from the common people, make it so.
-Viper team kicks it off by doing scout missions and taking down enemy scouts as well as their ships, Flag team has done daily scans of each planet and finding troop movements, how many outposts and main bases there are and how many ship building dry docks and ship repair facilities there are, there are even occasions where they will run into enemy strike fleets and attach trackers onto enemy ships that they run into, from there a plan was formulated, Mulungu B invasion and liberation had started-
Riker: All squadron members to your mobile suits, enter your Shidens and let us begin this raid, red squadron or rather Red Viking squadron.
-The new symbol of their squadron was a battle axe with the background painted red-
Riker: Let's begin with the enemy ship facilities.
-Riker and his squadron deploys and targets the enemy ship facilities with extreme prejudice, first aiming for the ship building locations-
Enemy Pilot: Its the demon! They say whoever takes him down will become the empires champion, I think I will try it first!
Riker: In your dreams.
-Riker draws his sword and slices the mobile suit in half-
Riker: Anyone else trying to do this for just fame and fortune? No, well then I guess I'll have to come at you myself.
-Riker charges and uses his Gatling gun to shoot at targets, the rounds rip through the enemy suits and he charges the enemy base and shoots the enemy facilities, shooting the control room, the ships and the repair facilities-
Riker: The ship building facilities are next, any resources like armor plating and electronics that are not attached to a ship are to be captured and moved back to the capture skiff everything else is to be destroyed, anyone that surrenders is to be captured and shown mercy, go engage.
-Riker holds position at the rear and sends Carr, Frank, Jerome and Lisha with Reaper in tow to attack the facility Sarah also held position and watched from a distance and in the long run it helped, as electronics, insulation, armor plating and workers and engineers that wanted to defect were taken back-
Riker: All units fall back, we have done good today any more and we will piss off the mercenaries and the royal guard, and they will come raining down on us, so let's get out of here.
-They board their skiffs and the engineers and workers are taken to the corvette and they are happy to be liberated and have the work stop, they also explain that on each planet the civilians are being forced to do cheap labor and some are sick and dying and the workers that are in the best condition are the ones forced to work in space-
Riker: So they are practically making them do slave work?
Head engineer: Yes, they use very cruel punishment if we don't want to help them.
Riker: (in his head) Maybe we should step up the timeline for the attack.
Ship Commander: We are arriving at the facility now.
-The corvette goes and docks and so does the rest of the skiffs and they are quickly unloaded for maintenance-
Riker: Hey, come with me, I believe I should introduce you to the leader of this task force.
-They walk the hall and they arrive at the bridge in which Riker salutes and the General turns around and sees Riker and the Head Engineer-
Riker: Ma'am, we picked up multiple workers and engineers that wanted to defect from the empire, I brought their head engineer here as I think he could be of use.
Head Engineer: I heard about what your planning to do, but that's not going to be easy to do without a base of some sort, I noticed in the way in that the colony here was demolished we can fix it, we just need the tools and the resources you captured.
Gen. Jackson: Alright, that's fine and fair by me, after all during these times, we need a safe place to put defectors and civilians until the war has blown over.
Head Engineer: Precisely, we can use it to repair your ships and at the same time we can use it as a shelter for the rescued people you bring in. On that note we need a few things, a mobile worker so we can take debris and clean it out of her and a welding module so we can seal it up properly.
Gen. Jackson: Deal.
Riker: Shall I leave you two to discuss this?
Gen. Jackson: You may leave, I believe we have a fair deal on our hands Chief.
Head Engineer: Why yes we do.
-They shake hands and then they go their separate ways-
Carr: So Riker what's next?
Riker: The planet fall invasion, we have to land away from the villages and cities because if we land right on top of them we will get shot down and at the same time we want to make damage to cities as minimal as possible according to the engineer we recovered he says that situations are dire down there, so we should fill a ship with supplies so we can deliver them to civilians. Remember we want to earn the people's favor we don't want them to be against us, as long as they don't use the method during the World War Two pacific theater we should be fine and we should be able to gain allies and favorability quickly.
Carr: Right but then we will need to place a line of ships to designate the front line to the enemy and to keep enemies from dropping on our heads.
Riker: Yes, the plan is to use the enemy ships we captured and place them in place where the enemy ships were, like that we can attack using surprise and speed and any ships that try to reinforce we jam their transmissions and then wipe them out completely. Like that it will seem as if their allies received reinforcements but in reality we will keep them silent and not raise an alarm.
Sarah: That seems like a complicated plan and one that needs to be very well organized.
Riker: It will be, we will use the processing power of Romulus to coordinate the ships and ground forces.
-They agree to this and Riker presents it to the Captain she gives the green light on the operation and at the same time loads a skiff with not just supplies but also with mobile workers-
Riker: Huh? I don't remember asking to load mobile workers for this op...
Alex: It's because I'm coming along, I'm going to teach those civvies down there to fight so they can fend off an enemy that attacks without a given reason.
-Riker looks over and her RX-78P3 is being loaded into one of the skiffs-
Riker: Stop! Load her onto my ship, she can deploy faster from there.
-The Gundam is rerouted to the Corvette and loaded in with additional ammunition, supplies and tools as well as the parts needed to keep the mobile suits working-
Riker: Your not coming Sayla?
Sayla: Nope, I work better in space and not only that but they need their best engineer to help protect the station.
Riker: Fair point, you do know your way around a ships main cannon.
-Riker gathers what he needs for the operation which is expected to take at least a month to capture, he loads up and straps in, and decides to nap while waiting for the rest of the crew, when he awakens he and the other skiffs are moving down to the planet below and entering the atmosphere, he looks to the planet and sees an orbital ring around the planet and knows immediately that this planet was a GN drive testing planet and most of not all the mobile suits are using electronic based mobile suits-
Carr: It's interesting isn't it? Seeing all those orbital elevators and that orbital ring, all the technological advancements that they made off the backs of using civilians as slave labor.
-Riker agreed in silence but was nervous because he knew that chances are that an orbital weapon can be deployed on that ring, of course energy based because they have all the energy they need from the sun-
Ship Commander: All entry ships, once we ge through the atmosphere deploy fins and fire atmospheric thrusters your space thrusters won't work down there.
-once through the atmospheric ceiling, they deploy their wings and glide to a jungle where they made their home base-
Riker: All pilots deploy and secure the area, w need to reconnoiter the area and lay traps, set mines and trip wires if the enemy attacks we need to know the direction they are attacking from if they saw our LZ.
-All the units spread out with marines in tow and they set up a bubble with trip wires, mines and sensors to detect enemy movement-
Alex: Front line base is set up come on back when your ready and I'll send the drones so we can reconnoiter the planet.
-All the units return and as presented drones were launched in all directions and marked on maps where all the major cities and minor villages as well as military bases and work camps were-
Red 6: This is just as bad as the gulags back in my home country.
Red 5 (Vampire): I knew it was bad but not this bad.
Jerome: Well, this is going to be interesting...is the dapper teams to remain behind sir?
Riker: Yes, we can use your expertise in explosives and surprise attacks as well as your shotguns to defend this base, but unless enemies come, your suits are to remain on standby and with a camouflage netting over them.
Frank: I recommend some sniper support for them as well.
Riker: Yes we will have to split your squad, you and another member of your choice will go the other 2 will stay.
Reaper: I'll stay, my defense based capability is better than attacking.
Riker: Alright, Lisha you are to come with me, Sarah too, Carr will go and Viper and flag should be landing within the next 10 hours, be kind to them despite us claiming the land for ourselves remember the last thing we need is pressure and hatred running between the groups. In the mean time, all units going, suit up, we are going to hit one of the major cities, target military weapons and instillations only, civilian casualties will not be tolerated.
-They all get into their mobile suits and Riker is the first to take off, and he heads west towards the city of Anankhe, where there is plenty of military and civilians are the majority, the rest of the unit follows-
Riker: Prepare weapon deployment cargo containers, Alex will go in and convince the civilians to fight for their freedom with us, and supply them with weapons, we will target enemy mobile suits and mobile workers and any mobile armors that appear in the city.
-They arrive and just as predicted AAA fire peppers them but causes no damage, they land in the city and just as planned the containers with weapons and equipment is lowered onto the field, and when they finish Tierens appear-
Riker: Thats a tieren, that's an antique compared to what our mobile suits are capable of but be careful, that carbon blade and 225mm cannon is nothing to scoff at.
-The tieren charged Riker and Riker promptly cuts the enemy suit in half and then enemy mobile workers appear, they fire at Riker but are interrupted by Lisha who uses her funnels to blow a hole in each one, disabling or destroying the unit-
Riker: How is it going Alex?
Alex: Not too well, people are pretty much on edge but once I notified them that the weapons are for them to rebel against the invaders they tools them without a second thought. The comms channel they are on is 22.
Riker: Roger that.
-Riker switches to comm channel 22 and announces himself-
Riker: This is Colonel Riker Lukas, to those of you willing, take up arms and fight for your freedom, the enemy troops are yours to deal with, the mobile workers, mobile armors and mobile suits will be dealt with by us, no go show them what your made of!
-There is a cheer that goes up with the resistance and it keeps growing and growing and within the span of 8 hours the city is taken by the resistance with the help of Riker and his squadron-
Riker: Alright, any left over units that they didn't take with them are yours to use, we are going to attack the next town tomorrow, defend this town that is your home well.
-When Riker opened the enemy armory, there were weapons ammo and a few mobile suits inside the hangar, Tieren Taozis, Riker let them have the suits as in his care they would only get scrapped-
Riker: All units return to the base, the resistance has got it from here.
Resistance Leader: Hold it, we don't know how to pilot these things!
Riker: Read the manual and there is a simulation pod in there, have your pilots practice daily, no slacking, if the enemy attacks, just fire 3 red flares we will see them and come running to help. Alex, it's time to return home.
-They return to the forward operations base and find that all the squadrons and teams to be placed on the ground at there and ready to go-
Viper: Colonel, on the way over we saw an enemy military base, can my squad attack it tonight?
Riker: Go ahead, but we have very little intel in that base, if any prisoners are there, you are to free them and then destroy the base, like I said we are to become friends to the people living here, if they don't want our presence then it will that much harder to take back the system.
-Viper agrees to this and tells his team to suit up in which they do and they take off and head for the enemy base known as Fire Base Centurion-
Riker: They should do fine.
Francis: I wish to run recon on all the cities around, especially the one you have just capture for the resistance...
Operator: Sir, your going to want to look at this...
-Riker looks and on the screen he can see an orbital station running along the solar track and it has a weapon deployed in firing position to destroy the newly captured city-
Riker: Dammmit, Engineer! Outfit me with the strongest boosters you have, I'm going to destroy that station, and if I have to I'll do it alone...
Operator: Sir it has fired, a portion of the city has been destroyed, it looks like it needs to be reloaded before firing again
Operator 2: I did spot 2 shuttles preparing for takeoff earlier so they must be carrying the supplies they need.
Riker: I'm going...back to space here we go...
-Riker launches and he is out of the atmosphere within 2 hours and on the ride he almost passes out twice, he activates his thrusters moves quickly for the base-
Riker: I'll hit the shuttles right as they are entering and cause a chain reaction exploding the enemy base.
Enemy Mobile Base Commander: Enemy detected, fire countermeasures, ready the base defenses, fire at will.
-Riker dodges, Bob's and weaves through the fire and sees the shuttles and waits for them to enter as planned-
Riker: 3...2...1.
-Riker fires a full burst of his Gatling cannon and blows up the shuttles inside the docking bay in which the ammunition and fuel explodes cause if a chain reaction destroying the base and all the ships around it-
Riker: Mission complete, beginning reentry phase.
Ship Commander: No need for that come aboard.
Riker: I thought I told you to camouflage yourself and hide?
Ship Commander: You did but if you did the reentry phase yourself, it would be much harder to land and would probably damage your mobile suit.
-Riker's suit is stored inside and sits into one of the chairs in which they descend and return to the base camp, he falls asleep once he reaches his tent and sleeps the entire night off, with no interruptions-
