"All right, is everyone clear on the plan?" Ikasu questioned. The pair sitting across from Lancet's pilot nodded. It had been three days since they arrived back at the Green Dagger Inn, and today they were to execute their plan.

It seemed simple really. Thursday they would leave for Ecuador and stay at a place along the coast to rest up. Friday the group would boat out to the Galapagos Islands. Then they would attack the base that night.

"It should go smoothly with the low guard count. And, if we're lucky, we'll get a bonus prize." Ikasu looked up from the laptop screen to flash Hanami a grin, who merely waved a hand.

"I'll get it, don't worry. I'll even bet lunch on it." She smirked.

Ikasu let her grin widen. "Ooo, I'll take that bet. It's a win-win situation. Either lunch or a disk."

Kawa let a small laugh escape her as she listened to the conversation between her two companions. Ikasu reached across the bed to prod the giggling Kawa in the shoulder.

"Dessert says I get every suit before Hana-chan gets out of the base." Cue the grin. Hanami snagged a pillow from her bed and threw it at Ikasu, smirking as it caught the taller pilot in the face.

"Sometimes I wonder if all you think about is your stomach."

"Probably, but it's a deal." Kawa grinned.

The trio quieted again as a series of beeps broke through their joking. Looking to her watch, Ikasu climbed to her feet and snagged her laptop.

"C'mon guys, Ecuador awaits!" Three grins were exchanged before the trio separated to grab their bags.

Tonight was the night. The three pilots were preparing to put their plan into action as the sun dipped behind the horizon. Kawa and Hanami climbed into the helicopter they had acquired, and Ikasu had made her way into LunarLancet's cockpit. As the pilot pulled on a pair of fingerless gloves, Kawa's voice spoke through the radio.

"Ready?"

"You bet. Wait about five minutes before you leave, okay? That should give me enough time to catch their attention." Ikasu grinned to herself.

"Will do." Kawa responded before looking over her shoulder at Hanami. The short-haired brunette looked up from the harness she was working with and flashed Kawa a thumbs up. "Everything's fine here, you can go."

Both pilots watched as the Gundam stepped forward and shot into the air; and, after waiting the designated amount of time, took off in the same direction.

Inside Lancet's cockpit, Ikasu had already spotted her target. Upon the upper slope of a volcanic mountain was the base. Throwing the controls forward, the Gundam surged toward the ground. The right arm swung around, releasing four missiles aimed for the ground below. The attack was close enough to the base to cause a disturbance, but not close enough for a direct hit. Smirking as alarms wailed, Ikasu took cover in the dense vegetation.

Soon Aries and Leos alike emerged from the building, following after the Gundam. Machine cannons raised from Lancet's shoulders, showering the mobile suits with bullets before taking to the air again. Switching between offense and defense, Ikasu slowly inched herself and the majority of the troops further away from the base.

Approaching from behind were Kawa and Hanami. Stopping a fair distance from the base so she wouldn't attract attention, Kawa held the helicopter in a hover.

"Okay, we're here. Got your radio?" Kawa questioned as she peered out the window to the ground below.

"Yup!" Hanami called back as she adjusted the headset. Once satisfied, she dropped a cable out the open door and snapped her harness to it.

"Call me when you're ready. I'm going to land this thing a safer distance away."

"Gotcha." Taking a firm grip on the cable with both gloved hands, Hanami jumped out and slid toward the ground.

Once feet found soil, the pilot unclipped her harness and flipped on her radio.

"I'm on the ground, see you in a few." Hanami sprinted for the base as the 'copter took off.

Once she reached the building, Hanami snuck into the hanger and took down one of the soldiers. Snagging the uniform, the pilot pulled it on and proceeded further into the base.

Making sure her headset was mostly hidden, Hanami peered down one of the numerous halls. Soldiers were rushing back and forth as alarms echoed throughout the rooms. Slipping into a less populated hallway, the teenager selected a random door and opened it.

Blue eyes searched the empty room, stopping on a computer. Dropping into the chair, hands fell upon the keyboard and began typing. Folders and files flashed by, each surveyed carefully by the girl's gaze.

"Just what I was looking for." Hanami smirked as she pulled a disk from her pocket. She stuffed it into one of the slots and began downloading.

"Damn!"

Hanami blinked at Ikasu's sudden outburst over the radio.

"What's wrong Ikasu?"

"There are way more soldiers than we anticipated!" Ikasu growled.

"I'm almost done here, just waiting for this download to finish."

"Okay. Hurry up, we need to get out -" Ikasu cut her sentence short with a yell as her suit took a direct hit. Hanami pushed the earpiece closer, faint alarms now in the background of Ikasu's end. "Take whatever you have and get out of there now! I don't know how much longer I can keep them busy!

"All right." Hanami frowned. The mission was taking a definite turn for the worse. A small beep brought the pilot back to the screen in front of her. Hanami snagged the disk and jumped from her chair. Slipping back into the hall, the pilot stuck the disk into her pocket. "Okay, now to get out of here.."

"Hey! Stop right there!"

Hanami whirled on her heel to see two armed soldiers standing a yard or so away from her.

Caught.
