Chapter III

The Fight for Neo Washington

"Attention, we will be arriving in Jupiter space in 35 minutes. Prepare for combat." The pilot said.

"All right, finally we see some fighting!" Shimari said.

"That isn't something to be excited about. I have seen mobile suit combat. I was one of the suits involved in the fighting in Tokyo. It isn't fun, there are so many factors you must think of, so many outcomes of the fight." A pilot said.

The ship came out of hyperspace and the colony of Neo Washington was in view. The federation mobile suits exited the Ashina, and approached Neo Washington. "We are the mobile suit division from the Tokyo Federation, we are here to help defend Neo Washington." The commander said.

"Federation pilots, thanks for the fighter escort. We only have four suits that are able to fight." The American Pilot said.

"Incoming mobile suits. What the hell? Those are Imperial Suits!" the radar operator shouted.

"Get ready to fight!" the commander shouted.

"There's four of 'em, and twelve of us. Let's jam!" Mitsarugi said as his mobile suits wielded its beam sword.

Mitsarugi went forward to intercept the four suits. One of them engaged combat with him. The enemy suit charged him with its beam sword drawn. "You will not survive this fight, Feddie." The enemy pilot said.

"Oh yea, who the hell is gonna kill me?" Mitsarugi asked.

"I am one of the best pilots in the imperial military, I am Roko Gato." He said.

"Well the name is Mitsarugi Yakashi, I'm not a military pilot but I'm sure you're not going to kill me off." Mitsarugi said.

Roko opened fire on Mitsarugi. "Once the pilots have identified themselves, the battle has begun. Prepare to die, pilot!" Roko shouted.

The fight had begun between the two. Mitsarugi and Roko's swords clashed together. Then Mitsarugi hit Roko's suit with his shield and separated them. "I'm not gonna die!" Mitsarugi shouted.

He mad a slash but almost missed, but he did manage to cut Roko's shield in two. "Lucky, but you are still inexperienced." Roko said with a laugh.

He knocked Mitsarugi's shield out of his hands and they locked swords again. Just then the sword broke free from their grasps. Roko then put both his arms on Mitsarugi's mobile suits left arm. "What the?" Mitsarugi shouted in surprise.

Roko ripped the arm off and swung it hitting Mitsarugi hard. "You will die, Feddie." Roko said.

Mitsarugi powered up the energy blade on his right arm and stabbed Roko's mobile suit. "No, I wont." Mitsarugi said.

"We shall meet again Mitsarugi." Roko said.

The core fighter from Mitsarugi's mobile suit broke out and escaped.



(Same time as Mitsarugi and Roko's fight)

"Here they come!" the American pilot said.

"Come on, let's party." Shimari shouted.

The Imperial suits shot down two of the American suits, so now only one American remained in operation. The pilots name was Bruce Benson. His mobile suit had a large duel Gatling gun in its hand, and a beam cannon in the other. He opened fire hitting one of the suits in the leg. "Damn!" he yelled.

He opened fire again destroying it and another suit. He was hit a few times and flew to the Ashina for repairs.

"One imperial suit left… he's mine!" Shimari said.

He pulled out the energy whip and charged at the enemy mobile suit. Just as he attacked, a battle cruiser approached from the other side of Ganymede. "Enemy battle cruiser incoming!" Mitsarugi said, as he approached in his damaged suit.

Shimari struck the mobile suit quickly and spun around, damage from glancing blows from beam rifle slowed him a bit but he was still going. "Dude, you're missing an arm!" Bruce said, as he returned to the battlefield.

"I know. Lets destroy this piece of shit that is coming our way." Mitsarugi said.

The battle cruiser was picking up the imperial pilots stranded by the battle. Then it opened fire on the suits and retreated. "Where ya goin'? Scared of a few mobile suits?" Shimari taunted.

The battle cruiser left the area, and the mobile suits returned to the Ashina. "Good work boys." The commander said, "With out you, Neo Washington wouldn't be here anymore. And the United States would've collapsed."

"No problem, its all in the line of duty." Shimari said.

"Yea, and can I get a new arm for my mobile suit?" Mitsarugi asked.

"Sure once we return to earth, we will repair your mobile suit completely." The commander said.

"Sir… I am requesting commission in the Federation army." Bruce said, "so I can fight with brave men at all times."

"I think that can be arranged." The commander said.

The Ashina set coarse for earth. But more fights were on the horizon.
