The Young Always Suffer the Worst
Xander stood at attention in front of General Barker "Sir Lt.Colonal Alexander Marshall Reporting sir!" The old general simply smiled at the young officer and started speaking. "At ease Xander, I got a special assignment for you" Xander Sat down across from the general and snorted
"Last time we got a special assignment from you I was lost in the Australian outback for a week" At this the general chuckled "well this time you'll be taking the whole of your team out onto the field, as well as some other support vehicles" Xander nodded in appreciation "Thank you sir" The general accepted the thank you and then continued "Xander, about you and Natalia" at this Xander went stock still "Shit did he figure it out?" he thought to himself. The general kept talking obviously not noticing his subordinates discomfort
"you've been spending alot of time with her, whats your views on here combat abilitys?" Xander calmed down realizing his secret was safe for now then started responding to the generals question. "Shes a great pilot, if a bit absent minded, likes high speed attacks, may I ask why the general wishs to know?" Barker nodded and spoke "That Gm/guncannon hybrid....thing...is going to be freakishly slow, and I know that she would be more effective in a GM, I'd like to transfer her to Ensign Vognor's GM Ranger and in turn assign the ensign to the guncannon" Xander started rubbing his chin "Yes, that would be a wise decision, Emily prefers long range combat anyway, she would probably be happier with it, and Natalia would love to be in a GM again" General barker nodded once again, motioning to the door while speaking "Alright, make it so, your orders will be given to you in the morning, go inform your team and get some sleep" Xander saluted the general and walked back out into the Oppresive heat where Natalia and Emily were waiting. Xander looked at Natalia quizically "uhhh....didn't I tell you to work on that suit?" Natalia gave him a little smile "I tried but the mechanics shooed us away so I came to see whats up" Xander smiled back at her and then looked at Emily
"Emily, I got news for you, its up to you whether its good or not, Natalia is being assigned to your suit and your being given the GM-Cannon." Natalias eyes brightened up at this and Emily once again just smiled "Thats ok sir, I never really liked it that much anyway...." Xander nodded his thanks then motioned for the two women to follow him towards the MS hanger. "We have to prep the suits for a mission tomorrow, so get it done and get some sleep, oh, and tell the mechanics to put a advanced sensor pod on Emily's MS, shes gonna need the extra range" Both Women saluted and headed towards the hanger where Mark and Sam were bickering about something idiotic again. He heard Natalia asking Emily if it was against regulations to kill annoying ensigns who didn't know when to shut up and Emily saying no, before they left ear shot he heard the grouchy CPO's comment of "what about maiming?"
Xander shook his head and walked off to his quarters thinking about the upcoming mission and how odd it was that the General didn't give him any details to speak of about the mission. He opened the door to his tiny room and landed face flat on his bed not bothering to change his uniform, sleep over took him in no time.
There were sirens going off everywhere as more and more Zeon Mobile Suits and Warships continually charged the Federal forces Magellan Battleships and Salmis Cruisers. Lt. Alexander Marshall, tactical officer of the Magellan 'Firestorm' was in total shock, the Zeon attack had come from no where and they had no chance to fight back. The Zeeks had sent a wave of Zaku MS at them to clear the field of some warships, and if the suits insane manuverabilty, speed, and range didn't make them a threat, the bazookas loaded with Tac Nukes certainly did. The Fed's Sabrefish fighters had all gone done within the first ten minutes of the attack, only taking one Zeon suit with them, and this was only accomplished by a suicidal pilot ramming his fighter into the zaku.
"Ensign, fire the forward guns on the approaching Musai, ignore the Zakus, theres no chance we'll hit them but we can try to take out there ships at the least." Xander was freaking out to say the least, the whole of the battle group had been slaughtered, the majority destroyed in under 20 minutes, and the few remaining ships where all heavily damaged, including 'Firestorm', the first barrage had taken out the top of the bridge, killing most of the bridge crew including the captain, the only two people alive where himself and some ensign, Natalia Klavaski he thought to himself. All the guns on the port side had been practiaclly torn off and he only had two of his engines left, not that it mattered considering that the engineering section was one freaking big gaping hole. He came back to reality in time to see his 4 operational guns fire on a approaching Musai and watched in wonder as Ensign Klavaski's shot hit home and tear through the the ships midsection effectivally destroying the majority of the ship. Before he could yell in triumph of taking down one of these basterds a passing by zaku team fired their rockets into the 'Firestorms' starbord side. He watched as the once magnificant ship tore apart. Decideing to get the hell out of there he kicked off of his console and floated towards the ensign. "Come on lets get the hell out of here, shes gonna blow any minute!" The ensign stared at him and nodded. They moved as quickly as they could to the emergency locker grabbing thruster packs and abandoning the ship through the enourmous hole in the bridge. They drifted for sometime away from the 'Firestorm' as the warship slowly blew apart, what was left quickly desintigrated into unidentifiable wreckage. Xander heard sobbing through his comlink and looked at the young ensign. "Please don't cry" he said "everything....we'll be ok....I'm sure we'll be rescued" Natalia turned around to stare at him once again and nearly shrieked "ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE! Everyones dead.....the captain.....the crew.......everyone....they are all DEAD! How is that ok!?" At this he could say nothing except "Your right theres nothing ok about it.....but we have to live....if nothing else to avenge those who were taken from us" Natalia just started crying again and hugged him as they both watched the death of the Federal Fleet around them.
**************************************************************************** ** As you may have guessed the last part was a dream of the Lt. Colonal's ordeal with the one week war and his relationship with Natalia, and don't worry next chapter I'll explain how they are rescued. Also, I know Xander is really young for a Lt. Colonal (hes around 25) but the truth is most of the ranking officers where killed in the one week war so he was given several battlefield promotions and was eventually transfered to Earth (will explain in followin chapters) Well thats it for now, I have to get some sleep, its 3:30 in the morning.
