The Nevada Front (2 Weeks Later: August 2nd 0 ATF) (ATF Calendar- After the formation of the Dilganese Empire)

The Nevada Front had devolved into trench warfare after two weeks of fighting with MS becoming less and less effective as the combination of the exhausting heat and the Dilganese building of trenches combined with effective use of the Zaku Cannon by the Alien Home Front had slowed down Titans MS.

The Alien Home Guard had split off and merged into various divisions, James, Leo and Rosemary's was the 17th Jefferson Division which included various former Home Guard as well as Dilganese artillery and riflemen.

The unit was overseen by two Captains, Captain Kitamura and Captain Kano, according to Leo, they were old childhood friends of his parents that had moved to America and later married, at the start of the war they had joined the Dilganese Ground Forces.

On an another hot day in the Nevada desert trench, James, Leo and Rosemary was sat down inside an trench hut in order to cool down from the Nevada heat.

"Is it me or the weather hotter than usual today" said Leo

"I feel like we entered an heatwave" said James

"Have we got any idea on our next mission " said Rosemary

"Its to do with pushing the Titans and Leni forces back to Ely and possibly Utah, we hear the Titans could make an last stand in Las Vegas, but that is only speculation" said James

"I hear the Northern Japanese are sending us further supplies as well as extra reinforcements, but they are currently dealing with the New Titans as well as tensions with the Dango's" said Leo

"Wait the Dangos and Northern Japanese have tensions against each other" said James

"Yeah something over ideological and cultural differences the Northern Japanese and Dango Republic" said Leo

Soon they heard the whistle which saw them all go over the trenches which saw them 3 along with other Dilganese and Northern Japanese troops charge at the entrenched Titans and Leni Forces whom fired back at them, James fired his rifle, whilst Leo and Rosemary fired their machine guns which helped the Dilganese forces clear out the Titans/Leni Forces from the area whom retreated to Las Vegas

After the battle

The Dilganese had taken most of Nevada bar Las Vegas which the Titans/Leni Forces were making their last stand.

"James, Rosemary, Leo, may I have an word with you" said Captain Kano

James, Rosemary and Leo entered the Captain's office

"In order to take Las Vegas, we need you three in mobile suits" said Captain Kano

"What sort of mobile suits are you thinking" said James

"Leo will be deployed in an SPT Reptar Mk III which has now been mass-produced, as for Rosemary she will be deployed in the new SPT Zaku Alpha in Red and Yellow Colours. As for you James..." said Captain Kano

"I know, my SPT Reptar Custom in an white, blue and pink colour scheme" said James

"Not necessarily" said Captain Kano

"What do you mean" said James

"Kitamura, can you escort James to his new MS" said Captain Kano

"Anything you say, Kano" said Captain Kitamura

James was taken from the trench back to the hanger where an MS was being worked on which James gasped in amazement as it looked impressive

"The final construction of the MS has been finished, it has been deemed ready for combat" said Stu

"Grandpa Stu, long time no see" said James

"Good to see you James, here is your new MS, call it an early birthday present from your grandparents" said Stu

The MS had an visor on an circular-triangular head as an viewpoint as well as having an almost identical body to the Qubeley, the wings were similar to the Qubeley but more triangular and having cannons attached to them, the legs of the MS looked similar to the SPT Reptar MK III's. It's colour scheme was White and Blue.

"James, this is the SPT Raptor" said Stu

"Wow, it looks amazing" said James

"It was designed with specifications that allow you to be effective on the battlefield, we had taken the Qubeley as well as an captured Byarlant and one of our Reptar units and decided to craft an brand new MS" said Stu

James climbed into the MS which it's cockpit had an hybrid of Dilganese as well as old Axis Zeon tech, it had both the Psycommu System and Alien System which working together makes the MS extremely agile.

Along with the usual joysticks that occupy an MS, James noticed an Atari Jaguar controller hardwired into the MS's controls.

"Why is there an Atari Jaguar controller hardwired into the MS" said James

"Budget cuts played an part as we couldn't make any more parts for the machine as well as because the amount of modes on the MS equal to the amount of buttons on an Atari Jaguar controller" said Stu

"I see, so when can I use it" said James

"Your going to use it take down the Titans and Leni forces that are making an last stand in Las Vegas" said Captain Kitamura

James turns the MS's systems on before preparing to sortie

"James Pickles, SPT Raptor launching" said James as he flew off in his new MS

James flew quite an distance with the MS when he noticed two MS behind him, they were Leo and Rosemary's who had sortied a little later.

"I see you got an new suit" said Leo

"Yeah feast your eyes on the new SPT Raptor" said James

"It looks nice, is it going to be better than the last suit that you had or is it just an expensive upgrade" said Leo

"Well it's got more features than the last one so it's got to be more effective" said James

"My father once told me that the suit is only as good as the pilot" said Rosemary

"I have shown to be decent pilot before" said James

"We'll see" said Rosemary

Meanwhile

The Titans and Empire of Leni Forces had began to prepare for their last stand in Nevada.

Las Vegas was heavily fortified to ensure the Dilganese didn't take it easily, the Strip and Old Casino District had many Imperial Leni Infantry as well as various Super Sherman's, Ratte (Leni Variants) and an few Guntanks. As for the outskirts the Titans had positioned various GM Quels, Tactical GM's, Hizacks, Hizack Cannons and Snoopys, they also had some Anti-MS squads lying around to back the MS on the ground.

At Caesars Palace sat many of the Titans and Leni command on the America's front which included Leni Loud and Emi Igawa

On the screen situated at the end of the table was Takahiko Arima Supreme Leader of the New Titans

"How is the situation looking for the Battle of Las Vegas" said Takahiko

"We have got mostly ground forces in the city districts although we are facing dissent from the locals and on the outskirts we've got MS defending the perimeter" said Captain Takashi Aiza

"Do we know what sort of forces the Dilganese will throw at us" said Takahiko

"We know they are sending heavy ground forces from North and West, they also have Newtypes" said Captain Emi Igawa

"How many Newtypes do they have" said Takahiko

"2, but Titans Intelligence suggests they could be sending another one in the Dakota Front" said Captain Emi Igawa

"Have we found out who they are" said Takahiko

"We know that the Red Comet could be entering in the northern front, as for the 2 in the Nevada Front we're not sure, but one of them is rumoured to be Haman's son" said Captain Emi Igawa

"If that's true, I want to maximise all forces in the area, call in reserves from Kansas and Colorado, if he's an Newtype he's going to be an threat to an entire defences" said Takahiko

"I don't think that'll be necessary, keep the defences as it is" said an General in the back of the room

"Ah, everyone meet General Rommersfeld, he is one of SGDR's top officers and leader of the 37th Zirkel MS Corps, he and his MS squad will be supplying reinforcements if ours run low" said Takahiko

"Thank you New Titans Leader, from our intel on Newtypes that we stole from an Universal Century database, they are highly perceptive and are psychic to an degree, but we noticed an weakness" said General Rommersfeld as two Space East German Officers brought in an tray with an cover on it.

"What is it" said Leni Loud

The Officers unveiled the cover, it looked like an cannon round.

"This is the Anti-Newtype EMP Round, Space East German Scientists and Robotron Engineers have been studying battle data of Newtypes as well as old Earth Federation and Titans information on them and we learned that their brains are wired slightly differently and have more psychic affects as well as being able to image and communicate telepathically, with this round it should prevent all of that as well as give the Newtype an bad headache, but could help save our forces from their sheer power" said General Rommersfeld

"Newtypes are elusive and can dodge projectiles easily, what makes you think it'll work" said Takahiko

"It has an spread fire option plus its electro-magnetic effect allows it to be effective against Newtypes" said General Rommersfeld

"Is the SGDR actually going to provide any troops to the American front" said Leni

"We have been overstretched so far and have been in the Japanese, Klebian and European Fronts, so we can barely send any troops to this campaign" said General Rommersfeld

"Or are you saying that considering your leader may be hesitant about this war in the 1st place" said Leni

"Supreme Leader Lyssa has her reasons for this conflict, I don't see Leni troops helping out in the Klebian Front and I do believe Leni troops are struggling in the European Front" said General Rommersfeld

"Quiet both of you, the reason that certain forces aren't on certain fronts is because we need to spread our forces out in order to combat the multiple threats equally" said Takahiko

"But my forces need more help than they currently have" said Leni

"Well maybe if you could have more effective, you wouldn't need so much help" said Takahiko

Meanwhile

The 3 MS of the 17th Jefferson Division were flying over to Las Vegas to engage the Titans.

"How are we going approach the City, go full Targaryen approach and destroy the Titans/Leni forces using flyover tactics or are we going to fight our way in" said James

"I feel like the better way in is fighting our way in, who knows what the Titans/Leni Forces can throw at us" said Leo

"Leo's right, the Titans and Leni forces may be prepared for us" said Rosemary

"Well I prefer the Targaryen approach, see ya" said James as he and his MS rushed off to combat

"James, stay put, looks like we got to fight our way in to cover him" said Leo

Leo and Rosemary chased behind with their MS

Later

James flew his SPT Raptor across Nevada desert at full speed where he saw the Las Vegas city appear from the hills.

"Funnels, activate" said James as his MS's funnels deployed and aimed it towards the Hizacks

"Look, Funnels, aim your weapons at it " said an Titans pilot as the Hizacks were torn to shreds as the SPT Raptor rushed over the cliffs. The Hizack Cannons tried to take it out using their cannons and the Snoopys with their ear missiles, but were taken down with the Raptors hand cannon as the Raptors speed dodged the cannon shots and the Snoopys missiles.

Afterwards the GM Quels and Tactical GM's came after it except one GM Quel that held back.

The inexperienced GM Quel pilots and Tactical GM pilots were taken out either by beam saber or Newtype Shockwaves.

However one GM Quel which was customised in an White and Blue colour scheme was left standing.

"James Pickles, I finally get to have an chance to defeat you" said the GM Quels Pilot

"Who are you" said James

"I am Alfonso Messa, I am an memory clone of Jerid Messa" said Alfonso

"I thought a lot of Titans pilots are clones of each other" said James

"I am an memory clone Spacenoid and I know exactly who you are" said Alfonso

"Who am I then" said James

"Your the son of the Ghost of Zeon who wanted to oppress many under her rule as well as the son of the Dilganese Emperor who wants to force his way onto everyone" said Alfonso as he came lunging at James's MS with full speed with his beam saber

James shifted his SPT Raptor back before deploying his funnels at the GM Quel

"Eat funnels" said James as the funnels started to rain down only to be either dodged or the funnels were shot down

"Impossible, how could you dodge that attack" said James

"Simple, I have memories of the Gryps War and Newtype weaponry which is how I was able to perceive your attack" said Alfonso

"You may be strong, but the SPT Raptor will put you in your place" said James

"Your just as arrogant as your mother" said Alfonso

"I'll make you eat those words" said James

Their beam sabers clashed with each other before James fired the Raptors hand cannon which destroyed one of the arms of the GM Quel

"An message to Titans and Leni command, my MS has been damaged by one of the Newtypes, prepare the cannon" said Alfonso

"Very well" said Captain Emi Igawa

The Leni and Titans Ground Forces began moving their ground forces across the city with the Anti-Newtype round being equipped to an Guntank

"Alfonso, what is the co-ordinates of the Newtype" said Captain Igawa

Alfonso gives Captain Igawa his co-ordinates

"Prepare the round, on my aim fire" said Captain Igawa

"Yes ma'am" said the Guntank crew

As Alfonso started to shift away from the Raptor, James began to admit Newtype pressure to try and destroy Alfonso

"Now" said Alfonso

"Fire" said Captain Igawa as the Guntank fired the Anti-Newtype round

The round went up in the air before landing at James's MS which caused Psychic blast which shifted the SPT Raptor back an few feet.

As for James's perspective he immediately felt an painful headache as well as an slight electric shock which had weakened him slightly, he noticed that he was bleeding from one of his eyes which had been damaged from the shock.

James opened his one good eye to find the GM Quel he was fighting charging at it like an raging bull, with all of his Newtype functions disabled, James decided to fire the Hand Cannon.

The Raptors hand cannon shot through the cockpit of the GM Quel, killing Alfonso on impact.

Afterwards James saw both Leo and Rosemarys MS appear as well as the Dilganese ground forces.

"Looks like we've got an battle on our hands" said James as he managed to move his slightly damaged MS and headed towards the City

Dilganese forces charged into the city overrunning the Leni defences as their tanks couldn't keep up with the vast swathes of MS and armoured vehicles that were heading their direction as well as the superior numbered forces of the Dilganese.

James moved the SPT Raptor the best he could, he couldn't use any of the Newtype features as they had been disabled by the EMP round and the headache hadn't gotten fully away.

The only Leni forces holding out were the Ratte's and Guntanks, the Titans rear force had been completely decimated as the Raptor had defeated the main outer forces earlier and the Dilganese finished off the remaining forces.

"How many Anti-Newtype rounds do we have" said Captain Igawa

"We've got 1 left" said her lieutenant

"Use it to try and quell the Dilganese forces" said Captain Igawa

"We've got one Guntank left, should it be used for better use" said her lieutenant

"We are being besieged, I'll control the MS, maybe we can compensate for the incompetence of the Leni Forces" said Captain Igawa

Captain Emi Igawa entered into the Guntank and began launching an last stand, shooting down many Dilganese ground forces before she encountered the two MS of Leo Takasu and Rosemary Deikun.

"Surrender your forces and we will let you live" said Leo

"Why would I do that, you Dilganese are just space socialists" said Captain Igawa

"Says the faction who's allied with the SGDR" said Leo

Suddenly an brown and yellow coloured tank appeared along with an fleet of brown and yellow tanks.

"Emi, surrender immediately, your forces have been defeated" said Kousei

"Kousei, is that you" said Captain Igawa

"It is, surrender your forces and we will spare you" said Kousei

Before Captain Igawa could answer, an beam cannon shot flew into her cockpit, killing her as her Guntank exploded.

Everyone turned around to see the SPT Raptor which aimed its hand cannon which had just destroyed the Titans MS and it's commander.

Later

The Dilganese had won the Battle of Las Vegas and as an result had pushed the Leni/Titans forces out of Nevada completely.

The remaining Leni forces including Leni Loud retreated to Utah as they were beginning to become overwhelmed by the vast Dilganese forces as well as the death of Titans Commander Emi Igawa which had cut the logistics of the entire battle for the Titans/Leni forces.

James had to be patched up after the fight as he had lost an eye from the Anti-Newtype round and was reunited with his friends as they prepared to push the Titans/Leni forces out of Utah

"James, you destroyed the MS before she had an chance to surrender" said Leo frustrated

"Well, considering what they did to my eye, I feel like I was totally justified" said James showing everyone the bandage around his eye

"What has happened to your eye" said Rosemary

"They had some sort of biological weapon" said James

"Biological weapon, what was it" said Leo

"It was some sort of EMP weapon which only effects Newtypes, I think it was deployed against me for obvious reasons" said James

"Kinda what you getting for using the Targaryen tactic, should be more patient, but you need to talk to command about the EMP weapon that you experienced" said Rosemary

James wrote an letter to his father about his experiences in the Battle of Las Vegas

Later

Dil was currently sat on his Alien Throne (which he rarely did) with Lil sat next to him as he had to sort internal issues within the Empire, he told Angelica and Chuckie about Jake's death which left Angelica nearly inconsolable as well as having to deal with the various fronts that the Dilganese were involved in.

"Your Imperial Majesty, we have an letter sent to you from the front" said one of Dil's Imperial Guard

"Just call me Dil, who's the letter from" said Dil

"It's from your son James on the Americas Front" said the Imperial Guardsmen as Dil took the letter

Dil read the letter which detailed the battle as well as the Anti-Newtype cannon's that the Titans Axis had started deploying

"Fetch me every Newtype available except for the ones on the America's front" said Dil

Later

Amuro, Mashymere and Haman both entered the Imperial Alien Court, both Dil, Lil and Amuro were shocked to find Haman in the state that she was in as she had lost an leg and was in an wheelchair and had an neck brace on.

"Newtypes, we have an urgent matter to discuss" said Dil

"Where's Char" said Haman

"He's on the America's Front which is crucial in keeping the Titans and Leni Forces away" said Dil

"So what's the matter that's needs to be discussed" said Amuro

"Anti-Newtype biological warfare" said Dil

Amuro, Haman and Mashymere looked shocked

"So the Titans are resorting to desperate measures to win this war" said Haman

"What's the origins of these weapons" said Amuro

"We believe they evolve from the SGDR who gave the Titans and Leni forces weapons in the Battle of Las Vegas" said Dil

"So what are these sort of weapons" said Mashymere

"They are an sort of EMP round that can turn the Newtypes brain waves or senses against each other" said Dil

"Have the Titans used them on any of our Newtypes yet" said Amuro

Dil went silent for an bit before Lil stood up and said "unfortunately they have, during the battle, James's MS was hit by an Anti-Newtype round and he ended up losing an eye"

Haman gasped in shock, the usually steel like persona of hers broke down as she broke into tears and was weeping in front of everyone as Mashymere and Lil comforted her.

"Why did you send James into the war zone" said Haman furious at Dil

"We had no choice, we were losing vast amounts of men and woman on the front to the point where the Alien Home Guard were mobilised and absorbed into the army" said Dil

"Are you aware of the consequences of what the war could do to James mental psyche" said Haman

"An valid point, but I'm also aware that if the Titans or Leni forces get there hands on him, it won't end well, All of his friends around him were mobilised around him and he has both relatives fighting with him as well as an very powerful MS" said Dil

"May I deploy on the America's front" said Haman

"I'm afraid not on the ground battles, we need you in space as an ship commander" said Dil

"But I need to protect James, I am his mother" said Haman

"And as James's father, I feel he will make it out okay" said Dil

Both Dil and Haman growled at each other before Mashymere Cello spoke up

"Before you two bicker, I may offer you two an solution that both of you can like that can help win the Americas front as well as protect James" said Mashymere

"What's that" said Haman and Dil

"We could provide an series of orbital bombardments against Titans and Leni forces which can allow for Dilganese forces to have an easier time of it" said Mashymere

"I feel that's an good solution" said Lil

Dil thought for a bit before saying "I agree to your proposal, I will have to move Tommy From orbital defence to the Gleebar system which we can deal with the last of the Leni space fleet as well as SGDR's Platz Korps"

"How are we going to solve the Anti-Newtype weapon problem" said Lil

"Amuro, could you volunteer for us to help solve this issue" said Dil

"I don't know, the Viola Force may need me" said Amuro

"I'll talk with Kousei about it, but considering my son is an Newtype, I want to get this situation as sorted as soon as possible" said Dil

"Very well" said Amuro as he left the room

"I hope this war ends soon, I just want to go back to the pre-war times when things were more fun" said Dil

"On that we can agree on" said Haman as her and Mashymere left the room

Dil then activated his video comms which Charlie Miyazono Pickles answered

"Charlie, your fleet are to retake Klebian IV, if we take this territory, we can begin to push the Titans back heavily as they are beginning to lose momentum" said Dil

"What about taking the Titans command centres" said Charlie

"Phil and the Deville Fleet will be assigned for that task" said Dil

"Very well" said Charlie
