Chapter 2: Enemies Detected, Battle at Shinjuku Part 1

************6 Months Later************

[Lt. Kabrinski!!] yells a comm. officer, as Matt returns Inquisitor to the Lightning's payload. "AHH! DON'T TALK SO LOUD!!!" [Sorry.] "Fine. What do you want?" [We just intercepted a Transmission from Neo- Japan. Apparently, one of their cities here, Shinjuku, is under attack by an enemy force.] "Is that a fact? Fine. Let me return, and we'll figure out a strategy." [Understood. Out.] 'Great. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Oh well.' As Inquisitor powers down inside the Lightning's hold, Matt disengages himself from the safety restraints and exits the cockpit. "Sir," says a tech, "everyone's waiting at the bridge." "Fine. Thanks. I want Inquisitor Reloaded, and any damage repaired ASAP." "Yessir." Saluting, the tech heads out to give orders to the team.

As Matt enters the bridge, he looks around, seeing everybody present. "Ok. What do we have?" "Well," says Josh R., "apparently a large force of enemy Mobile Suits have appeared here, at the Japanese city of Shinjuku." As Josh explains this, he points to a holographic map displayed before everyone. "Neo-Japan's Gundam fighter has arrived at the location, and has reported back that the entire city, except for the central building, has been demolished. Said building is now operating as a haven for what's left of the city's population." "So there are unknown Mobile Suits that have demolished a city, and are now endangering the remains of the population that have made a last stand at the sole surviving building. Do I understand the situation?" "That's about the size of it," says Josh. "Well," says Matt. "Sir?" Matt turns, and looks at Josh Stoyak. "What Corporal?" "I suggest we do what we always do: Head for Shinjuku, and fry this army before anyone else gets hurt." "Hmmm. We in agreement here?" asks Matt. Stoyak, Wilda, Redman, and the entire crew nod their heads. "Well," says Matt, "guess we know what to do. Pilot. Take us up." Matt then keys his Comm. Link. [Master Tech.] [Yessir?] [Listen. Warm up all the Mechs, and get 'em ready for battle. We got a fight on our hands.] [Roger. It'll take us 90 min. for us to warm up Tango Lance, and bout 45 min. to reload Inquisitor.] [Right. Out.] "Ok. Our mechs will be ready by the time we reach Shinjuku. Let's move out!" "Yes Sir!!"

*****************3 hrs later*******************

[Knuckles, this is the bridge. We've arrived at the target area.] [Roger that. Tango Lance, this is Tango Lead. Give me a go/no go for operation.] [This is Tango Two. Wolf Lord reporting. Wulfen is ready to go.] [This is Tango Three. Hunter reporting. Hellfire ready to go.] [Tango Four. Joker reporting. Thor's Hammer is ready to go] 'This should prove to be interesting,' thinks Matt. [Bridge, this is Knuckles. Tango Lance is ready to go.] [Roger sir. Opening Bay Doors.] A humming fills the ship, as the 4 giant doors on the ship open. [Infantry Support will be available once we're down. Until then, you're on your own. Happy Hunting, guys.] [This sucks.] says Joker. [Why the hell can't the infantry join us now. Hell, their suits have jump packs. They can easily leave the ship while it hovers.] [Joker, this is Knuckles. . . . . SHUT UP!!!!!!!] [This is the bridge. Tango Lance, you're cleared for launch.] [Roger that, bridge. Okey Tango. OP time is 22:00 hrs. Let's get 'em.] [Time to kick the tires and light the fires] says Wolf Lord. [I hear that] says Hunter. [Let's have fun.] says Joker. [Ok. Tango, Launch!]

As Matt says this, each Mech walks out of the bay, entering into a freefall above Shinjuku. After falling for about halfway, the Mechs activate their Jump Jets and land safely. [Lightning, this is Knuckles. Tango is down. Get outta here and find a secure landing zone.] [Roger sir. Tango Support will join you on the ground once we're secured here. Out.] The Lightning does a 90 degree turn, and blasts off. [Ok guys. Support will join us once they get secured. Until then, we're on our own. Let's move. Radio silence is to be observed except for short commands. Joker, this means no wise-ass jokes.] [Ah man. (huffs) Fine.] 'Smart ass,' thinks Matt. [Tango. Line Astern. I'll take point.] Inquisitor starts moving amongst the wreckage, the others forming up being him in a single file line. 'Man this place has been trashed,' thinks everyone.

***************Later. Round Midnight*************

'Huh!' thinks Stoyak. [Knuckles, this is Joker] [Joker, this better be good.] [Affirmative sir. My computer picked up shots having been fired 2 o'clock.] [Better listen to him, sir.] says Wolf Lord, cutting in. [He's a smart ass, sure.] [HEY!!!!!] [However, his mech was fitted with the sensor systems of an Ostscout. If he say's it picked up something, it probably did.] [Fine. Tango, alter route 2 o'clock east. Max. Crusing Speed.] [Yes Sir!] come three replies. After about 15 min, Matt sees Tracer Rounds flying in the sky. [Tango, this is Knuckles. I got tracer fire in the sky. Slow to 75% speed, switch to active Rader Mode, and arm weapon systems. However don't break formation until I give the word.] says Matt over the comm. system, before arming his systems himself.

*****************10 min later*****************

[Looks like a party, boss.] says Hunter. [Yeah] replies Knuckles, [and we weren't invited. Joker, acquire targets, and inform me when you have a lock.] [Yes Sir!] says Joker, grinning like a madman. Using the targeting Joystick, Joker places the targeter over the middle Gundam. [Ok. I'm locked. Glad I had the techs load some swarm LRMs.] [Good. Ok, Joker. Stand by to fire. The rest of you, listen up. The call sign to engage is Blackjack. When I call that, break formation and let 'em have it. When I call White Light, break off immediately.] [Roger.] [Roger.]

[Ok. Joker. Steady..steady..steady..]
