Kans mobile suit team episode two: Killing grounds
It is the year Universal century 0079, mankind has built massive space colonies to hold their burgeoning populations, a new home to be born, live and die.
Nine months ago the principality of Zeon had launched a war of independence against the Earth federation, people were horrified by the incredible atrocities committed in the name of independence….
November 30th, once again Kan Matron was on a mission for the principality, while most of the forces were called to attack the federation headquarters in Jaburo Kan and a mere 10% of the zeon forces were sent to New Zealand. New Zealand had seen a lot, it had taken lots of damage during the colony drop… Fallout was everywhere hardly anything was left intact. But then again thanks too all of the debris here it made an excellent hiding place for both federal and Zeonic forces.
New Zealand was directly downwind from Sydney, the sight of the colony drop and it proved good ground to have. The principality had one of its largest Earth bases here, it had a fairly large mobile suit force but the only MS they had was ten old obsolete Zaku 1s…
Kans forces had got there and made the exchange of mobile suits, he had brought five Zaku 2s and three Goufs excluding the mobile suits in his squad. He but the remaining Mobile suits in reserve and awaited instructions from Dozle; in the meantime he noticed how many civilians had been kept here. He knew that they had no shelter, and even though they rejected the Zeon and hated them Matron knew that they had no where else to go…
Several hours passed and Kan was getting bored, most of the feddies were defending Jaburo and he knew that not many other forces were around the area. At first he thought that this was going to be a snap but then off the coastline a carrier landed and a small squad of six enemy mobile suits had landed.
They were Gms, the federation's first mass-produced mobile suit. Matron had became familiar with them thanks to studies made in close by Australia thanks to "Operation Rainbow valley" and his closest ace Visch Donahue. Donahue had been another friend of Matrons in the academy and had been defeated by a small Federal forces team known as "white dingo" Visch was on his way to New Zealand and would be there in an hour. But Kan had to beat these feddies back before that happened, there were at least six of them, Kan and his team suited up and two from the base defenses joined them. The two newest members of the Matron force had fresh Zakus and they were fully combat ready, their names were Jack Masterson and Sammie Jones, two rookies who had little experience when it came down to stuff like this. But Kan knew they had potential, he put them though some training and they were ready for the combat ahead.
The feddie forces came in close and Matron ordered the team to start combat, they all fired their machine guns and started heavy combat, Matron quickly found the leader, it was a green GM with a blue midsection. They squared off in a heavy duel; Kan came in close and fired his guns. The feddie was ready for him though, the GM fired its Vulcan's and beam spray gun, and then they went in for close range combat…
The rest of his team had had their share too; Lisa was able to disable one of them and was ready to knock down another. Kim, Max, and the two rookies had fared well against the others… They had released all they had on the feddie team… But they were backing into a small town, the town was heavily populated with refugees and Kan knew that if he didn't defend them innocent people would die. Closer and closer they came, Kan was worried that they might hurt the townsfolk…
More fighting broke out five more feddie suits had joined in, however A Zanzibar came down and fired its canons, a Gouf came down and sliced two Gms in half, Kan saw on the shield a Skull with a eye patch on It… Visch Donahue had just joined the fun.
His small team had knocked down the feddies one by one until there was only the original six Gms left…
But they were too close to the town; the people below were running for cover…
Kan had to do something, Visch had taught him how to tap into the feddie communications station, he made his statement "This is Kan Matron, I request that we have a cease fire so that the town ahead does not get demolished. I hope you understand my request."
The feddie commander was surprised "This is lieutenant Alicia Wolf, you win Matron… But I warn you that we will retaliate if we are attacked…"
"Understood." said Matron
Donahue had a strange feeling of déjà vu because he had done this with a feddie commander not so long ago…
The feddies had gone away and Kans team had gone back to the base, the Zeon mobile suit team had seen enough action for one day…
Donahue had joined Matron and had exchanged stories, he told him he lost his other Gouf and this one was a hand me down from the zeon forces. However he seemed pleased to se that at least someone had beat him, he was unstoppable until know.
They had a long chat and had a bit of fun, then Matron was set to go to a small town for a long overdue break.
He had gone to a bar in a town that was declared neutral during the Antarctic treaty; it had a nice pub that Matron heard from the soldiers.
In the bar rock music was playing, a song called "Jail house rock" was playing very loudly. Much to his surprise a feddie team of six people was sitting at a table nearby, Kan came over and saw who appeared to be their commander. A beautiful young girl with lieutenant stripes, she had long silver hair, blue eyes, fair skin and a face that Kan couldn't ignore. He saw that they noticed him but he sat at a table nearby, he smiled at them and had a drink. The feddie woman came up to him and said, "Listen you, I hope you know that this is on neutral territory and if you make any trouble I will report it."
"I have no intention of causing trouble mam, just here to have a few drinks and get some relaxation."
"While your forces are probably trashing Jaburo huh?"
"Hey, this is my place to be, if I was ordered to Jaburo I would be there now. However my place is here and here I will stay. Sit down and relax my friend, you look tired."
She sat down and said, "you know I was just in a major battle with some Zeon ace, his name was Kan Matron."
"Ahh yes, what a coincidence. I just had a battle with a federation ace named Wolf."
"You mean your Kan Matron???" she said excitedly
"Yes, and I believe you are Wolf. Am I correct?"
"Yes! Your forces killed my parents, and now you had just trashed my team and my mobile suit!"
"Well, I am sorry about that."
"Sorry??? You expect me to accept that?"
"Yes, I am a soldier but I do have feelings. I have my regrets but I fight anyway, that is the mark of a warrior."
"But…"
"Bartender, give my friend here a drink she looks like she needs one!"
"Thanks, I think."
"No problem, I will put it on my tab. Besides I kind of like you."
"Well next time we meet I hope to finish you off." said Wolf after her first sip of beer.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." Said Kan
The two teams had joined together, both feddie and zeon were having a good time, then when the bar was closing they gave each other salutes. "I hope to meet you again in battle." said Matron
"Same here… and good luck!" the two respectable parties left the bar and once became foes however both Kan and Wolf had wanted peace to come soon, Wolf got into her carrier and said "I think I like that man, too bad I have to kill him."
