The battle on Oberlisk ((Part One))

The Apocalypse and the Lunar Fleet sped towards Oberlisk. When they came out of the Oberlisk Sector Gate, the mobile suits all launched. Half of the mobile suits boarded landing crafts set for the surface. The 45th MS Team was one of them. "Ok our Target is Iris City, one of the first settlements on Oberlisk." Dave said. "No." Ichiro whispered. "What's wrong Ichiro?" Eppo asked. "I was born in Iris City. I went to the Pilot Academy in Iris City." Ichiro said. Miho came into the hanger of the Apocalypse wearing a pilot's uniform. "Why are you in a pilot's suit Miho?" Mitsarugi asked. "Well. there is an extra mobile suit now. and I'm going to fight too." She said. "Well. looks like the 45th keeps growing." Bruce said. "ALL MOBILE SUITS. LAUNCH AND BOARD DESIGNATED LANDING CRAFT." The P.A. system said. They boarded their mobile suits and launched one by one. Bruce walked his mobile suit to the lift elevator. They lifted his to the outer hull of the ship where he launched using the powerful boosters that were attached. The body was equipped with it's own heat shield for entry into the planets atmosphere. The landing crafts and Bruce's Gundam entered through the atmosphere. The transports came to a rough landing in a jungle. The Mobile suits spread out in their teams. The 45th headed towards Iris City with the 1st and the 109th MS Teams. Along with the First MS Team was, Captain Saka, The Commander of the Lunar Fleet, and Princess Reiku. "Hey Shimari. Do you know who is in the other team that is with us?" Mitsarugi asked. "Yea. It is Several upper class veteran pilots, Captain Saka, Iori Wakabayashi the commander of the Lunar Fleet, and Princess Reiku." Shimari replied. "So. we're fighting along side the princess?" Miho asked surprised. "Don't act so surprised. You know we can hear every thing your saying. And Shimari, it is not appropriate to address superior officers by their first name." Captain Saka said. "I'm sorry sir." Shimari said. "Uhm. Princess Reiku? This is Ichiro Gavious, a former Revolutionary pilot. I know this area the best, and the route we are on is heading straight to a command outpost. If you follow me, I can get us just outside the city undetected." Ichiro said. "Ok. We will follow you. But if you're a traitor kid, we won't hesitate to destroy you." Commander Wakabayashi said. "Yes sir." Ichiro said. He led them through a small gorge outside the city, the gorge was littered with the remains of Goufs, Gelgoogs, Zakus, and GM mobile suits. "What the hell happened here?" Dave asked. "Training, if you failed, you probably died." Ichiro said. They came out of the gorge and were on the south side of Iris City. "I can see the city. Holy shit! There are Goufs on rooftops patrolling!" Bruce said. "Oh-no, they know about the invasion. another city must've been attacked already." Ichiro said. Mitsarugi popped out the Shoulder Bazookas. "Lets take this the Cowboy way." Mitsarugi said. "Yea, it's the only way we can." Dave said. "Well, I guess they're right. Charge!" The Princess shouted. The three Mobile Suit teams charged into the city, Bruce ran right through a building accidentally. "This thing isn't built for running! It doesn't stop well!" he said. "Here comes the Goufs!" Ichiro yelled. Mitsarugi opened fire, blasting buildings and mobile suits. Shimari was more organized in his shots. Reiku was chased into the center of the city. She pulled out the beam sword and fought off a Gouf. "Get Away!" She cried. A beam rifle blast hit Commander Wakabayashi's mobile suit. It disabled his leg and the mobile suit collapsed. "Commander!" Eppo shouted. He looked up and sighted the Zaku Sniper. "Don't worry about me! Just make sure the princess is alright!" Commander Wakabayashi said. "Yes sir!" Eppo said. Bruce was plowing through buildings heading towards the Pilot Academy. He plowed straight through the Center of Iris City and took out four Zakus that were threatening the Princess. He didn't notice she was nearby but he just kept on a path to the academy. Goufs fired on him, but the shells did little damage. Eppo ran, Katana drawn, towards the Princesses Signal. He was cut off by a Gouf with its heat saber drawn. "Get out of my way!" Eppo yelled. "It is to late for you." the Gouf pilot said. Eppo charged and they locked swords. "I WILL NOT LOSE TOU YOU! REBEL SCUM!" Eppo yelled. Over the shoulder of the Gouf he noticed the princesses Gundam taking aim. Eppo jumped back and to the side. "Running away, Feddie?" the Gouf pilot said. "Not on your shortened life." Eppo replied. Princess Reiku fired, blasting the Mobile Suit engine, which in turn, blew up the Gouf. "AHH!" the pilot cried as his suit exploded. "Thank you Princess." Eppo said. "No problem, isn't it part of the pilot's code to help a pilot in trouble?" she said. Meanwhile Mitsarugi had run out of bazooka shells and was cornered. "Uh- oh!" he said. He drew his beam sword and fought off two of the Goufs, and then one stabbed right into the hand that held the beam sword. "Now what are you going to do Feddie? Your nothing but a rookie in a powerful suit." A Zaku's pilot said. "Oh really?" Mitsarugi asked. He powered up the energy blades on the wrists and started to fight the last two Zaku's. "Shit! This kid is better than we thought!" the other Zaku pilot shouted. "God Damnit! The 109th has been wiped out!" Captain Saka shouted. "Captain Saka! HELP!" Mitsarugi cried as three more Goufs approached him. Captain Saka opened fire on the Goufs and together they fought them off. Shimari strafed across several streets, blowing up anything on those streets. "Regroup in the center of the city." Captain Saka ordered.
