Episode 12: Martian Massacre
[Episode begins with Robotech3:Dark Odyssey Theme and scenes from the previous episode.]
Narrator: In our last episode of Robotech3: Dark Odyssey, six days have passed since the destruction of Parallel Robotech Earth and the refugees are brought under the protection of the Robotech Expeditionary Force and many begin to enlist for revenge against the Earth's destroyers. Amidst the emotional tension and chaos after the Massive Crongus counterattack, the U.C.E High Command have found a new homeworld for the refugees and then the Crongus make another attack upon Mars.
[Episode Continues from last Episode with the REF and Crongus Fleets meeting and firing.]
[Int. shot of Izumo Class Battle Fortress Bridge. The bridge rocks from an impact of enemy fire.]
Izumo Captain: Damage report.
Izumo 1st Officer: Captain, we have hull breaches in levels 4, 7 and 10 on our starboard side, fires in Section Y, W, and the Veritech Factory.
Izumo Captain: Get force fields and Samsons to close those hull breaches and get a squad to take out those fires immediately.
Izumo 1st Officer: Aye.
[View of VAF-8 squadron, each attached to a VBF-2. Int. shot of Squadron Leader's cockpit.]
Squadron Leader: This is Captain Luis Charter, call sign Linebacker1, of Linebacker Squadron to Battle Command, we have reached the Flagship of the Crongus Armada, we are awaiting commands.
[View of Linebacker squadron.]
Man[VO]: This is Battle Command, we read you. Penetrate Crongus shields and bomb the bridge. Watch out for enemy Biofighters and ship defenses.
Captain Luis Charter[VO]: Rodger, Linebackers prepare to drop bombs upon the Flagship Bridge. Ready defense weapons for immediate counterattack from enemy units and defenses.
pp
Linebacker 4[VO]: Captain, I have multiple Crongus Biofighters on my scanners and they show to be Triwing Biofighters.
Captain Luis Charter[VO]: Linebackers, fire at will!!
[Linebacker Squadron fires energy and missile weapons at the approaching Triwing squadron. The Triwing squadron is heavily damaged and another Veritech squadron leads the remaining Biofighters away. Int. view of Captain Luis Charter's cockpit.]
Captain Luis Charter: Linebacker 2, fire a scanner laser and find me the frequency of that shield.
Linebacker 2[VO]: Aye- Wait, the shield already has breaches.pp
Captain Luis Charter: What? What happened?
Linebacker 2[VO]: It seems that this is an elder Bioship and its shield organ has begun to deteriorate.
Captain Luis Charter: Right. This is Captain Luis Charter of Linebacker Squadron to Battle Command, the flagship has breaches in its shield.
Man[VO]: This is Battle Command, we read you and thanks for the information. We will begin our attack, but you must proceed with your objective.
Captain Luis Charter: Rodger. Linebacker squadron, continue with bombing run and enter the breach nearest to the bridge.
Linebacker squadron[VO]: Aye.
[Linebacker squadron enters the shield breach and heads towards the bridge of the flagship. On the surface, several cannons grew and are targeting the incoming squadron.]
Linebacker 4[VO]: Captain, I have numerous cannons targeting the squadron.
Captain Luis Charter: Linebackers, transform to Battloid Mode and target cannons but do not move from attack corridor.
[Linebacker squadron transforms into battloid mode and fires bullets and energy pulses at the cannons.]
Onboard Computer: Fifteen. Seconds. To. Target.
Captain Luis Charter: Linebackers, prepare to drop bombs at the five-second count.
Linebacker 7: AAAAAAAAA-
Linebacker 4: Captain, we lost Linebacker 7!
Captain Luis Charter: Stay within the attack corridor.
Onboard Computer: Eight. Seven. Six. Five-
Captain Luis Charter: Drop bombs now.
[The VBF-2's of Linebacker squadron open their bomb bay doors and bombs fall toward the bridge by momentum.]
Captain Luis Charter: Everyone change back to jet mode and pull up now!
[The bombs crash into the bridge and explode upon impact of the interior of the bridge.]
Captain Luis Charter: This is Captain Luis Charter of Linebacker Squadron to Battle Command, we have destroyed the bridge of the flagship.
Man[VO]: This is Battle Command, nice work Charter. Now all we have to do is take the advantage of confusion-
Captain Luis Charter: Battle Command, this is Captain Luis Charter of Linebacker Squadron, what is happening over there? Battle Command do you read?
Linebacker 9: Captain, the ship has been destroyed by a Warlord's Ship.
Captain Luis Charter: What? A Warlord's Ship?
Linebacker 9: Confirmed, there is a sighting of the Warlord's ship.
Captain Luis Charter: Get me a line to REF High Command, they would want a word of this.
Linebacker 2: But captain, the subspace frequency is reserved only for capital ship commanders only.
Captain Luis Charter: Listen, General Hunter and U.C.E High Command wants information on anything that could rupture the Crongus Armadas in this battle theatre and I think that an attack on the Warlord's Ship would suffice.
[SDF-3A War room]
Rick Hunter: Battle Status.
Cornell Loamier: Sir, 45% of our forces are heavily damaged from enemy fire, 91.8% of our forces can no longer fight and about a third of our fighters are completely wiped out.
Bretai: Zentraedi forces are currently surrounded by enemy Biofighters and are running low on missiles and laser turrets. Battle Pods and Power Armor squadrons are destroyed down to skeletal numbers.
Rick Hunter: Can we get ships to retrieve any of Mars Base Sara survivors.
Cornell Reinhardt: Several Fighter Squadrons have found atmosphere escape pods that were launched from Base Sara before reporting a Reflex Explosion upon the surface. The Pods are being escorted towards the SDF-3A.
Rick Hunter: Good, tell the fleet to begin Hyperspace Warp sequence but do not jump until we have all pods secured and all fighters have returned to their motherships.
Cornell Loamier: Sir, we got a Squadron Commander saying that they have sighting of a Warlord's Ship.
Rick Hunter: Tell the Commander that we are incapable of attacking the Bioship at the moment and get the commander to go to the nearest Capital Ship.
[Fighters began to return to their Capital Ships with Crongus Biofighters pursuing closely behind them. Shot of a heavily damaged LAF-15, which is shaped, into a flying wing with huge engines and the cockpit in the forward center of the fighter with Pulse Cannons on either side of the cockpit. In the background of the LAF-15 is a SDFC-"Macross" Cass Capital Ship.]
Pilot [VO]: This is Starfighter Pilot Vladimir Unimportant, unit number 08 of the 112th Assaulter Squadron "Arrow Spears" to SDFC- "Hurricane", I am heavily damaged and unable to proceed to my Capital Ship or defend myself from enemy units and requesting immediate assistance.
Women[VO]: This is Captain Susana Weather of the SDFC- "Hurricane", our fighters are currently engaged in defensive combat against enemy Biofighters. We cannot give you any assistance at the moment, but if you give us a few seconds-
[The LAF-15 was destroyed in a rain of Plasm bolts from Crongus Biofighters.]
[Shot of Skull Squadron landing in the SDF-3A's Hangar bay followed by several large pods.]
Rick Hunter: Are all of the pods safe Max?
Miriya Sterling: Yes General Hunter
Max Sterling: Not yet, Airmen Roy Hunter is still out there.
Rick Hunter: What?
Max Sterling: He was fighting off a trio of Biofighters to give us some time for us to secure the Atmosphere Escape Pods.
Rick Hunter: Is he crazy or what?
Max Sterling: We had no choice, one of us had to lure away the Biofighters until we can get the pods to safety. He suddenly broke off and charged at the enemy. Sorta reminds me of you General.
Rick Hunter: Cut the wise cracks and get that pilot back here now.
Max Sterling: Right sir-
Miriya Sterling: Max look.
Max Sterling: Huh?
[Miriya Sterling points at a VAF-8 Veritech Fighter with its legs, arms and half of its head blown off and was being chased by three Biofighters.]
Max Sterling: He's going to crash, everyone clear the deck!
[Pilots and Maintenance personnel began to run as the limbless VAF-8 crashes and rolls around the hangar bay, only to be stopped by the Hangar Bay walls. Several Samson Cyclones with fire extinguishers and laser cutters rushed toward the crashed veritech and try to eliminate the fire while saving Roy Hunter whom was trapped within the cockpit. When they finally pulled him out, he had a wound on his upper left sides, his flight suit around the wound seemed to be burnt from an energy blade and the wound was gushing blood. The onboard medics placed a green substance upon the wound and placed pressure around the area, the helmet was removed and it seemed as if Roy was hardly breathing.]
Max Sterling: Get him to Sickbay immediately.
1st Medic: Right.
[Rick2 and Lynn Minmei3, who were just visiting the SDF-3A, came from the hangar corridor and then stopped as they see a small medic droid with the stretcher with Medics clustered around the stretcher, on the stretcher was the wounded and bleeding body of Roy Hunter. Both looked surprised to see Roy Hunter's battered body.]
Lynn Minmei3: What happened to him?
Rick2: I-I don't know...
[Several hours have passed since the incident at the Hangar Bay on the SDF-3A, Lynn Minmei3 was in her room, sitting on the edge of her bed facing a window overlooking Macross City inside the SDF-1.]
Lynn Minmei3[Thinking]: It was so horrible, [image of wounded Roy Hunter on the Stretcher.] this war is so horrible. Roy didn't have to get hurt, not him. [Tears began to build in her eyes.]Why did it have to be Roy?
Voice[which sounds like Lynn Minmei3]: You started to have feelings. You fear for someone.
[The room begun to swirl into a strange and colorful dreamscape. Lynn Minmei is seen floating in the dreamscape.]
Lynn Minmei3: I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Voice: It's not the many, it's the one. The one you love.
Lynn Minmei3: How could I love Roy when we hardly see each other. Is that why that I'm so concerned, is it that I was afraid to lose him?
Voice: No, someone close. Someone very close.
Lynn Minmei3: Who?
pp
[The swirls begin slowly form a face.]
Voice: Someone you have been neglecting, the one who cares for you and you don't. The one who is afraid to say "I love you".
Lynn Minmei3: Who could it be? Who is this person who loves me but was afraid to tell me?
[The swirls then form a familiar face. A face that surprised Lynn Minmei3, but then quickly realized. Dreamscape ends.]
Lynn Minmei3[whispers]: Rick...
[Lynn Minmei's mother opened her door.]
Mrs. Lynn: Minmei?
Lynn Minmei3[surprised]: Huh?
Mrs. Lynn: What's the matter honey, is there something wrong?
Lynn Minmei3: Oh it's nothing, I just need to be alone for a while.
Mrs. Lynn: Alright, I just came up because that boy, Rick Hunter, just came by to see you.
Lynn Mimei3: Rick? [thinking] I must tell him.
Mrs. Lynn: But since you don't want to be disturbed-
Lynn Minmei3: Tell him I'll be down in a second.
Mrs. Lynn: Oh, okay.
[Mrs. Lynn closed the door. Lynn Minmei3 then starts to get herself quickly dressed before Rick2 leaves. After several moments Lynn Minmei then rushes out of her room and down the stairs but dose not see Rick2.]
Mr. Lynn: Sorry Minmei, he just had a call and left.
Lynn Minmei3: What?!
[Lynn Minmei3 then runs out the door, almost running over Parallel Lynn Kyle(Which, in my opinion, should have).]
Lynn Kyle: Why's she in a hurry?
Mr. Lynn: How's I suppose to know, ask your aunt.
Mrs. Lynn: And why should he ask me for? I don't read minds.
Mr. Lynn: Well you are a woman, right.
[Mrs. Lynn slaps Mr. Lynn on the back of his head.]
Mr. Lynn: Ouch!
[Lynn Minmei3 can be seen running down a street of Macross City.]
Boy1: Whoa, isn't that Minmei?
Boy2: I can't believe it, it's Lynn Minmei!
Lynn Minmei3[thinking]: Rick, where are you?
[The Hangar Bay of the SDF-3A with several of the Atmosphere Escape Pods. Lisa Hayes3 walks into the Hangar Bay and toward an officer. The officer salutes and Lisa Hayes3 returns the salute.]
Lisa Hayes3: Did you get the names of all the personnel in those pods?
Officer: Yes ma'am, they're all on this data pad here.
Lisa Hayes3: Could you find a person on it? His name is Karl Riber.
Officer: Let me check.[several seconds, pad touching and hums later.] Yep, he's here all right.
Lisa Hayes3: He is?!
Parallel Karl Riber[VO]: Lisa? Lisa!!
[Lisa Hayes3 turns towards the voice and saw Karl Riber.]
Lisa Hayes3: Karl!
[Lisa Hayes3 and Parallel Karl Riber run towards each other and just when they are almost arms length to each other, A Vicoo Destroyer breaks through the metal floor of the Hangar Bay and grabs Parallel Karl Riber. One of it's fingers impales Karl Ribers right chest.]
Parallel Karl Riber: Gaugh!!
Lisa Hayes3: Nooo!!!
[Lisa Hayes3 tried to grab Parallel Karl Riber's hand, but was just a few centimeters to far from him. The Vicoo Destroyer then threw Karl Riber across the far end of the Hangar Bay. Soldiers began firing E.D.P.W.s at the Vicoo Destroyer while the Destroyer swung its huge claw and cutting any soldiers whom dared to come into range of the Destroyer's claws. Lisa Hayes3 then ran towards the now wounded Parallel Karl Riber and kneeled by his side and then held him in her arms and started to cry.]
Lisa Hayes3: Karl please don't die on me. Don't leave me alone again.
[Parallel Karl Riber tried to say something to Lisa but blood began to gurgle from his mouth. Medics began to take away the wounded and after several moments of horrific bloodshed, the Vicoo Destroyer was finally killed.]
[Shot of modified hangar bay of the Prometheus with several VF-1A Mustang being prepared for launch. Roy Fokker is speaking to several Skull Pilots.]
Roy Fokker: Okay now guys, listen up. We are going to make a dimensional jump to a parallel universe that is currently under attack by the Crongus. Our mission is to escort a scout vessel to make reconnaissance surveys of the planet below the jump point for later evaluation by Mission Planners at Intel. Our assigned scout vessel, the Aurora, will be scanning the northwestern hemisphere. We are ordered not to engage the enemy unless fired upon and do not draw any attention to yourselves to either the natives or the Crongus to stir up a fight, is that clear!!
Skull Squadron: SIR, YES SIR!!!!
Roy Fokker: All right then, get yourselves ready at 0700 hours tomorrow.
[Klaxon Alarm sounds.]
Intercom[VO]: Attention all military personnel, we have an attack squadron of Vicoo and Qulan crafts heading toward the fleet. All fighter pilots prepare for launch and immediate battle. Repeat, all fighter pilots prepare for launch and immediate battle.
Roy Fokker: You heard them, everyone to your Mustangs now!
[Many Macross pilots scrambled to get to their assigned Mustangs and prepared for take off. Lynn Minmei3 was just entering the Hangar Bay when Rick2's Mustang was being raised into the flight deck.]
Guard: Hay, wait. Miss Lynn, you can't go in there. This is a restricted zone, your not authorized to- Hey!!
[Lynn Minmei3 was running towards Rick2's Mustang when it was raised to the Flight Deck.]
Lynn Minmei3: Wait Rick, stop!!
[Rick2 couldn't hear the calling voice of Lynn Minmei3 over the hydraulics of the elevator. As he rises to the flight deck, he sees flashing blue lights in the distance, the flashing blue lights of what he believes to be Qulan spacecraft.]
Rick2: Skull 2 to Skull 1, I have visual confirmation of enemy Qulan spacecraft heading our way.
Roy Fokker: I can see that Skull 2, get yourself launched out immediately.
Rick2: Yes sir.
[Rick2's VF-1R Mustang was being loaded onto a catapult when Qulan Fighters began to fire Plasma weapons upon the flight deck and several fighters from both Skull Squadron and other squadrons are randomly targeted and blown apart.]
[A nearby Ikazuchi Carrier begins to launch VAF-8 Alpha Fighters and VBF-2 Beta Fightersto assist the troubled Prometheus of the SDF-1. The Squadrons of the Ikazuchi Carrier began to fire upon the Qulan Fighters. One of the attacking Qulan Fighters exploded, which made the other attacking Qulan Fighters to turn their attention to the Ikazuchi's squadrons.]
Roy Fokker: Okay now, everyone launch immediately.
[The Mustang Squadrons began to launch into action and just as all of the Mustangs have been launched, several Vicoo Fighters began to attack them.]
Roy Fokker: Skull Squadron, hit those Vicoo with everything you got.
Skull Squadron: RODGER!
[Skull Squadron began to fire their lasers and most of its missiles at the approaching Vicoo Swarm of Fighters. The Vicoo and Qulan Fighters began to retreat and then a huge Qulan Battleship arrives and power ups it weapons. The SDF-1 lowered its reflex booms and the ends of the reflex booms began to glow and energy crackles from the glowing boom ends.]
Roy Fokker: This is Skull 1 to SDF-1, I hope you're going to do something quick because that thing is going to fire.
Lisa Hayes3: This is SDF-1 to Skull 1, we cannot increase the charge rate of the Main Gun, you will have to keep the enemy Capital Ship busy until we can fire the weapon.
[The Qulan Battleship fires a Plasma beam at a group of Mustangs.]
Roy Fokker: And how are we supposed to do that?
Lisa Hayes3: Improvise. We'll back you up with the ship weapons.
[The SDF-1's rail gun and particle cannons began to fire upon the Qulan Battleship. Several Mustangs began attack runs on the battleship's weapons array. Several Mustangs began to crash into the bridge of the Qulan Battleship but were wiped out by the bridge's automatic defense weapons and others flew off their attack course and crashed into the ships hull. After several minutes of chaos, the booms are fully charged and ready to fire.]
[Int. shot of SDF-1 bridge.]
Captain Gloval: Lisa, Claudia, aim Boom 1 at the midsection of their engine. It should destroy most of the ship.
Claudia: Captain, we cannot fire the main gun, the Qulan shields are still active.
[Then the Ikazuchi fired it's Main Laser at the Qulan Battleship's left weapons array.]
Vanessa: Captain, we are being haled by the captain of the Ikazuchi Carrier.
Captain Gloval: Put it through.
[The Monitor then showed a face of the Ikazuchi's captain.]
Captain: This is Captain Sherlong Campa of the Ikazuchi Carrier "Red Dragon", I have
the energy frequency of the Qulan's shield, transmitting now.
[On a monitor of Sammy's station, the frequency waves of the Qulan's shields were shown.]
Captain Gloval: Thank you Captain Sherlong, [Turns towards Sammy.] Sammy, recalibrate the frequency of the main gun immediately.
Sammy: Yes captain. [After a few moments.] Main Gun recalibrated sir.
Captain Gloval: Good[Now turns to Claudia and Lisa3.] Get all the fighters out of the Main Gun's way immediately.
Both Claudia and Lisa3: Yes sir.
[Claudia and Lisa3 open communication channels of the Mustang squadrons and calling out the area in which Boom 1 will fire at and telling them to evacuate area immediately.]
Claudia: All fighters have cleared the fire path of Boom 1.
Lisa3: Enemy Battleship's engine has been targeted.
Captain Gloval: Fire!
[The energy of Boom 1 has been shoot out and headed towards the engine of the Qulan Battleship which destroys half of the battleship. The Ikazuchi fired its Main Laser again at the remaining Weapons Array but the Battleship's shields absorbed it.]
Vanessa: Captain, we have Captain Sherlong on the line again.
Captain Gloval: Put it through.
Captain Sherlong: Gloval, they have recalibrated their shields, my weapons officer is now scanning the energy eco and searching for the frequency of the battleship's shields. I'll send you the frequency as soon as I get them.
Captain Gloval: Right. [Turns to Sammy] Sammy, calibrate the Main Gun as soon as you get the frequency.
Sammy: Yes sir.
Captain Gloval: Claudia, are any of the Mustangs still out there?
Claudia: Yes sir, but many of them are low on weapons and energy, they need to reload immediately.
Captain Gloval: Call them back immediately.
Sammy: Captain, I've retrieved the frequency and the Main Gun has been recalibrated.
Captain Gloval: Target the rest of the Battleship and fire.
[Boom 2 then fires its energy at the Qulan Battleship and destroying it in a ball of energy and fire.]
Kim: Captain, we are being hailed from the SDF-3A.
Captain Gloval: Put it through.
[The monitor then shows the face of Rick Hunter.]
Rick Hunter: Captain Gloval, we are being called to engage the enemy upon Optera.
Captain Gloval: I thought that we are going to another dimension?
Rick Hunter: Change of plans at the last minute. There was some heavy resistance from both Invid factions and several outposts and barracks are under heavy fire and are requesting assistance. Prepare for Hyperspace Warp. Hunter out.
[The monitor goes blank.]
Captain Gloval: Claudia, do we still have that tow laser attached to the forward hull?
Claudia: Yes sir.
Captain Gloval: Then find someone to tow us, we still don't have the Hyperspace Warp System.
[Int. shot of a medical room with several doctors working around two bodies that look like Parallel Karl Riber. The heads of the bodies were linked to a computer and a strange device's nozzles are pointed towards the heart of the bodies. Lisa Hayes3, Parallel Lisa and Karl Riber watch the operation from a window. The head doctor taps on the combadge on her shoulder.]
Head Doctor[On intercom]: We are beginning the operation, all systems are working properly. It's a good thing that you lend us your spare clone body for us Lieutenant.
Karl Riber: It's nothing, I have survived this war without that body and I think I can live for three days.
Lisa Hayes3: I still don't get this operation.
Parallel Lisa: Well it's quite simple, ever since the war began we were having problems with keeping our numbers at a combat level and so one general suggested that we transplant the brainwaves of a soldier who was beyond repair and putting it in a body of his or her clone. It did work but after the operation, the soldier complained that he was felling empty, that is until we salvaged the technology of the Crongus' soul reviver and we can also transplant the soul and the brainwaves into the clone body, but the biggest problem was creating a clone body which takes the minimum of three days to grow and to keep the extremely injured soldier alive until the operation and so each recruit and after each transplant operation, we take a sample of the soldier's DNA, grow the clone body and place it in cold storage until needed.
Lisa Hayes3: Why are those soul revivers are pointing towards their chest area?
Parallel Lisa: Well, from what I've heard, all life forms have two types of hearts; the physical blood pumping heart and the spiritual heart of the soul, or rather known as the soul nexus. The machine is pointing towards the soul heart, which is found in the same place as the physical heart, so that the entire soul is extracted in one shot.
Lisa Hayes3: Has there been any accidents during this operation?
Parallel Lisa: I haven't heard of any accidents during these kinds of operations but the procedure is very delicate and must be used with extreme caution. [Parallel Lisa saw that Lisa Hayes3 was looking depressed.] I know how you feel Lisa, I've been through this before but it will be all right.
Karl Riber: Are you talking to yourself again Lisa?
Parallel Lisa: Karl.
Karl Riber: What?! You can't blame a guy who's trying to make things a little brighter in these kinds of situations.
Parallel Lisa: I know but..
Karl Riber: But what?
Parallel Lisa: Never mind.
Karl Riber: What? What is it that you're trying to say? If it's about this girl to girl thing, I know what it's all about since your talking about it all the time not that I didn't like it but-
Parallel Lisa: Karl, she's in a lot of pressure right now.
Karl Riber: Oh, sorry.
[Int. shot of Transplant room.]
Head Doctor: Okay now people, we have a life to save here so let's do this right and once.
Doctor1: Isn't the fleet going to jump to Optera?
Head Doctor: It's quite all right, as long as we don't run into any enemy surprises.
[Int. shot of SDF-3A Bridge.]
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Get the fleet prepare for Hyperspace Warp. Have them jump on my mark.
1st Officer Applegate: Aye.
[1st Officer Applegate presses a button upon her screen that says "Fleetcom".]
1st Officer Applegate: This is 1st Officer Applegate to fleet, we are to charge all Hyperspace Warp Generators and jump upon Admiral Lisa "Hayes" Hunter's command.[Turns towards Lisa "Hayes" Hunter.] On your mark ma'am.
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Right.
[Transplant room.]
Head Doctor: They'll prepare to jump into Hyperspace Warp, let's get the soul and brainwaves out immediately.
Doctors in room: Right.
[The Head Doctor presses several commands upon the computer connecting to the two Riber bodies and soon, several lines of different colored lights work their way from Parallel Karl Riber's head, through the wires, and then through a port in the computer. The computer screen reads: "Brainwave Download Complete"]
Head Doctor: One more to go.
[Another Doctor punches in some screen buttons upon the soul transplanter and then a blue beam of light fires from the nozzle and strait into the center of Parallel Karl Riber's chest. After several seconds, the light retracted to the nozzle and then shot at the center of the clone body, which jerked slightly.]
[SDF-3A Bridge.]
1st Officer Applegate: Fleet is reporting that they're all charged for jump to Hyperspace Warp.
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Jump now!
[Ext. shot of REF fleet, several Hyperspace Warp conduits open up to reveal a tunnel ringed with blue light and filled with red lights.]
[Int. shot of Transplant Room, there was a minor shake, a flash of white light, and then the far side of the room seemed to stretch towards a single point of blue light.]
Head Doctor: Here w-
[The Head Doctor's voice suddenly stopped as soon as her body split into particles and accelerated toward the Hyperspace Warp Conduit. Then the particles seemed to race town the twisted and uneven Hyperspace Warp Conduit which seems to make numerous twists, turns, loops, sharp drops and u-turns as they reached the other side of the conduit when all of the particles are placed back to their original forms.]
[SDF-3A Bridge, on the bridge view bubble was the blue-green clouds of the Invid homeworld, Optera. Then several Mollusk Troop Carriers folded in front of the bubble.]
1st Officer Applegate: Admiral, we got trouble.
Lisa "Hayes" Hunter: Activate all weapon arrays and fire.
1st Officer Applegate: Aye.
[Ext. shot of SDF-3A firing lasers, pulse cannons and missile projectiles and powering up the Reflex Cannons and after several seconds the rest of the fleet open fired upon the Mollusks. Several Mollusks were destroyed, but three Mollusks slightly opened and fired three beams of Reflex energy. The beams collided with the SDF-3A shields, but the impact rocked the ship very violently.]
[Int. shot of Transplant Room, several people fell because of the violent impact of the shields, one doctor accidentally slammed his arm upon the screen of the computer containing Parallel Karl Riber's brainwaves.]
Head Doctor: Is everyone all right.
Doctor2: Ma'am..
[The Head Doctor turns her attention toward the computer screen, which read: "Delete Process Activated". She ran towards the computer screen and pressed several buttons and commands.]
Head Doctor: Shit, shit, shit. This is not good.
[Ext. shot of REF fleet, several Capital Ships launched multiple fighter wings to engage Invid Swarms and launching several volleys of missiles and energy projectiles upon waves of space-born Invid Mecha. Shot of six VAF-8 Alpha Fighters.]
VAF-8 Leader: This is Captain James Man, call sign Phantom1, to Battle Command. What are our current objectives?
Man[VO]: This is battle command to Phantom1, we read you, your current objective is to join up with Skull squadron of the SDF-3A for a hit-and-run attack upon an Invid Command Ship that has just folded in. The Invid fleet that is attacking us is currently engaged in combat with another Invid fleet. Obviously one of them is allied with the Crongus. Watch for enemy crossfire.
James Man: Rodger. [Switches intercom to talk to squadron.] You guys heard the man, let's go, go, go.
[VAF-8 use Plasma Afterburners towards a rather large number of Veritech Fighters.]
Max Sterling: This is Captain Max Sterling to all fighters, we are going on a strike run upon an Invid command ship. Everyone be prepared for cross fire, have your missiles and bombs, if any, for strike, watch for Invid mecha, and keep on the attack corridor.
All pilots: Roger.
[Suddenly, a huge number of Space Trooper Invid Mecha appeared and began firing plasma weapons.]
Max Sterling: All pilots engage the enemy and continue with the attack plan!
[Several fighters were chased by three Space Troopers and there were several explosions of both Invid and Human Mecha.]
[Shot of a single VAF-8 being chased by five Space Troopers.]
VAF-8 Pilot: Would someone please get these slugs off of my tail.
[Phantom Squadron arrives and attack several Space Troopers off guard and after a few seconds, all Space Troopers were destroyed.]
Max Sterling: This is Captain Max Sterling to unknown squadron, thanks for the assistance. We were in a pit that time.
James Man: This is James Man of Phantom Squadron, you're welcome.
Max Sterling: Phantom Squadron? Never heard of you.
James Man: It was just formed before we jumped. We have been assigned by Battle Command to assist you in the attack run.
Max Sterling: Right, everyone head for that Command ship and watch for enemy Invid Mecha.
[The Veritech Squadron accelerate toward a huge Mollusk with communication horns and multiple swarms of Invid Mecha.]
James Man: Skull 1, this is Phantom1, I got ten Invid Assault Battloids and three Invid Warlord Battloids.
Max Sterling: Looks like there's royalty on that Command ship.
James Man: Here they come.
[Int. shot of Head Warlord's cockpit. It shows a Stage 6 Invid Pilot with light blue hair, red cat-slit eyes, and an almost white Caucasian skin and his uniform is in a red and black color, same as his Warlord Battloid.]
Stage6: This is Ogaunta'Shea of the 27th Royal Cosmos Gamun Swarm to Armada Command, I have sighted a large number of enemy craft heading toward the Armada Command ship. We are now engaging the enemy.
Invid[VO]: Proceed with caution Kulagi,
the U.C.E is not a force to be reckoned with.
Ogaunta'Shea: I'll be the Judator of that. [Switching Com frequency to communicate with the 27th Royal Cosmos Gamun Swarm.] All Sulagis, accelerate to max speed to intercept the enemy mass.
Slugi1[VO]: But Ogaunta'Shea, if we do, we won't be able to decelerate for swarm attack movements.
Ogaunta'Shea: Silence Sulagi, I know what I am planning. Accelerate and fire within 0.67 Nanos from the enemy.
[The 27th Royal Cosmos Gamun Swarm accelerated toward the veritech fighter squadron.]
Max Sterling: What are they doing?
Miriya Sterling: They are performing a rushing strike, a very common tactic when a small number of Invid Mecha are forced to engage a large number of enemy units. They normally use this with the element of surprise.
Max Sterling: Can they maneuver while engaging that tactic?
Miriya Sterling: Impossible, the Invid have accelerated too much for successful dodging of our attack volleys without ripping themselves apart.
Max Sterling: Right, everyone fire your E.D.P.W.'s and Gunpods upon the enemy Battloids, make every shot count.
[The Veritechs fire energy projectiles at the approaching Invid Battloids. After the energy volley, only a single Invid Assault Battloid missing two legs, an arm with its Plasma Cannon, and two plasma cannons with an Invid Warlord Battloid missing 1 1/2 legs and two wings.]
Ogaunta'Shea: Launching Attack Drones.
[The Invid Warlord Battloid launches six small drones armed with a single plasma gun. Each Attack Drones fired a maximum of three shots before finally shot down by the Veritechs.]
Max Sterling: Boy, that Warlord is pretty tough.
Miriya Sterling: Not a tough as us.
[The Warlord Battloid engaged Miriya Sterling while the Assault Battloid began throwing one arm punches and Plasma Cannon melees at Max Sterling.]
Max Sterling: Everyone! Continue with the attack run. Miriya and I will handle these two here.
[The Veritech Squadrons race off toward the Command Ship while Max and Miriya battle the Invid Battloids. Max throws a punch and crashes into the lower left torso while the one-armed Battloid seizes control of Max's gunpod. Max shoves his gunpod that is still in the Battloid's hand up into the shoulder. The gunpod seriously disables the right shoulder plasma cannon, leaving only two plasma cannons for defense. Max slides out an Energy Blade from his right forearm into the VAF-9's hand, the Invid Stage 5 wasting no time, judo chops the VAF-9 wrist, releasing the Energy Blade and grasping the blade into its hand. Max Sterling then slides out another Energy Blade just as the Battloid brings its blade upon the VAF-9. The two then clash in an old fashion samurai sword fight.]
[Miriya Sterling and Ogaunta'Shea battle each other with everything from missiles and energy weapons to hand-to-hand combat. Each one fought each other as ferociously as his/her opponent. Then the two mecha are clash in a power struggle as each tries to wrestle away from each other to fire their weapons without injuring themselves. Then Miriya kicked the Warlord Battloid in the center torso with both VAF-9 feet and then used her Distablizer to knock out the Warlord Battloid. Ogaunta'Shea regain conscious from the unexpected blow and accelerated with both hands clamped together and raised for a double-handed Slammer. Miriya avoided the attack by firing the Distablizer at the clamped hands and blowing them away. This left Ogaunta'Shea to attack with leg kick, knee and elbow kicks and punches. An elbow blow from Ogaunta'Shea seriously disabled the left arm of the VAF-9 and when Ogaunta'Shea was recoiling from the strike, Miriya brought her gunpod at his head at zero-blank range. Neither one moved an inch for several suspenseful seconds until Ogaunta'Shea was ordered to retreat.]
Invid[VO]: Kulagi, evacuate the battle zone immediately. We must rebuild our strengths.
[Just before Ogaunta'Shea accelerated toward a folding ship, his image appeared upon Miriya's Screen.]
Ogaunta'Shea: We will meet again for a rematch T'sentrati.
Miriya Sterling: Count on it.
Max Sterling: Miriya, we gota return to the SDF-3A immediately.
Miriya Sterling: Acknowledged Max.
[Int. Shot of Skull Squadron Hangar Bay, several hours after the battle with the Invid. Roy Hunter, whom is still wearing bandages and a sling was working on a large, mecha sized melee weapon and at the same time, custom designing his VAF-8 to suit his taste. His newly customized VAF-8 had a retractable and foldable antenna which looks very similar to the antenna found on a Gundam(Yah know, that crest thingy on the Gundam's forehead. If none of you do not know what a gundam is, use your search engines and key in "Gundam" for a complete analysis of the antenna thingy), and a built in container for the unknown weapon. Lynn Minmei walks up to Roy Hunter.]
Lynn Minmei: Roy, what are you doing?
Roy Hunter: Oh, hi Minmei. I was just custom designing my VAF-8 with this.
[Roy Hunter shows Lynn Minmei a strange looking melee weapon that obviously uses Energy Blade technology and designed to be compact within the container and extends when being used(I think?).]
Lynn Minmei: What is it?
Roy Hunter: Wait here.
[Roy Hunter climes into his VAF-8 and transforms it into Battloid Mode.]
Lynn Minmei: Be careful about your arm Roy!
[The VAF-8 picks up the unknown energy blade and it extends and activates into a huge energy scythe. (Talk about a rip off, that was from Gundam Wing's Deathscythe- Wait a minute, this is my fanfiction, oops.)]
Roy Hunter: This is a twin energy scythe that I've been working on for several weeks now. I first saw this in the video archives from an old television series called "Mobile Suit Report Gundam Wing".
Lynn Minmei: Do you know how to use it?
Roy Hunter: Oh yah, sure. I've been practicing with the Alpha with steel rods and from my computer analysis, the energy scythe is very lightweight and durable since it has an internal energy pod generator.
Lynn Minmei: What's is that thing on your head?
Roy Hunter: Oh, you mean the antenna, I design and built the antenna to fold into the Alpha's head when not in use. It a concentrated scanner which is similar to a normal scanner but doesn't scan an entire area, it scans whatever the Alpha's head is pointing towards and it can also jam most types of scanning equipment.
Lynn Minmei: Amazing.
Roy Hunter: Thanks to my degrees on Engineering and Technology.
Rick Hunter: Pretty impressing indeed.
[Rick Hunter and Max Sterling walk into the scene.]
Roy Hunter: G-General Hunter.
[Roy Hunter climes out of the Alpha and onto the floor and salutes. Rick Hunter and Max Sterling salute back]
Max Sterling: Hunter, no not you Rick, you were not to redesign the VAF-8!
Roy Hunter: You told me I can custom design it as long as it has the Squadron Identification Symbol.
Max Sterling: I said custom paint, not rebuilding.
Rick Hunter: Hold on there Max.
Max Sterling: What?
Rick Hunter: Hunter's redesigning seems impressive, especially for stealth strikes I might add.
Roy Hunter: Well yes sir.
Max Sterling: Wait a minute, I thought you were on my side?
Rick Hunter: This might come in handy for stealth strike missions.
Roy Hunter: Really?
Rick Hunter: I'm thinking of assigning you to a special mission after we secure the outposts on Optera.
Roy Hunter: Thank you sir.
Max Sterling: Hold on there, I thought that his "redesigns" were-
Rick Hunter: Are being reconsidered for late analysis.
Max Sterling: Great, outshone by a rookie.
Rick Hunter: Now you know how it feels like. [Rick Hunter begins to walk away.]
Max Sterling: Rick, what's that suppose to mean? Hey wait, don't leave me in the water- Hay wait wait wait, hold up. [Max Sterling runs after Rick Hunter.]
Roy Hunter: This is a good day for me.
[Lynn Minmei runs to Roy Hunter's arms and kisses him.]
Lynn Minmei: Must be.
