Chapter 4: A Knights Honor
01/04/0079: The One Year War, Day Four: 01:19, somewhere over the Earth
Back at the Colony Escort Fleet Command Battleship...
"Launch all Mobile Suit Teams that are on this ship, I need all the cover we can get!" Captain Growher yelled as he ordered his XO.
"Sir, all we have is one MS Team who boarded and they just got done refueling, they traveled with us since-" The XO replied back as his sentence was cut off from the Captain.
"I DON'T CARE... This is an emergency, don't you get it. This operation is still underway. That is why they have to protect the colony and this ship as well." The Captain yelled back to his XO.
"Sir, I suggest we leave it up to Team Beta and Team Charlie. They just took out the Saberfish teams for us, and they are on their way to attack the Feddy Battleship. I believe they can still-" The XO replied back and again being interrupted by the Captain.
"Look here, those are pilots, and that is there job. So their job is to fight and protect with the Mobile Suits that they have, is this getting through to you man." Captain Growher replied to his XO with a ticked off voice.
"Aye Sir." The XO replied. The came to the Mic and said "All Mobile Suit pilots return to your Mobile Suits and get ready to launch. I repeat, All MS pilots return to your Mobile Suits and prepare to launch."
Onboard the Federation Battleship Bertha...
"Sir, three Mobile Suits are headed our way!" The radioman told Commander Chenlo.
"What! All gunners man your stations. Fire at will at the enemy Mobile Suits." As Commander Chenlo gave the order. The Commander then became quite scared, as he knew the reason why they lost in Side 2 was because of Mobile Suits from the Zeon forces. He still had a chance to change this fate as the colony was dropping onto Earth. He just hoped it could happen in time, and time wasn't on his side.
Within gun range of the Federation Battleship Bertha...
"Alright guys were in range. This is one hit, don't mess up." As Ray ordered his team into the sights of trigger-happy Feddy gunners. "... Alright, BLITZ ATTACK NOW!" Ray yelled as his team spilt up to attack.
As Ray went to the rear of the ship, he then noticed that the gunners aboard the ship were awake by the way they were aiming at him. Ray then ascended higher to attack from above so it was harder to see since his suit wasn't reflecting off the light of the Earth. He noticed that the gunners where shooting everywhere, only to find that they didn't come close to where Ray was.
Ray's lock on indicator bleeped and he fired around twelve shots. The first six nailed the cannon near the Command Bridge and destroyed it. Then four of the other six shots hit the cannon towards the stern of the ship, crippling it so it would take even longer to fire. He then headed behind the ship to wait for Caroline and Tim.
Tim had It worse than his leader did, has he was headed towards the three cannons in the front, four shots from the gunners of the Feddy ship completely crippled his right leg, but could still attack. He then ascended as well to avoid being seen and shot of sixteen shots at the cannons below. The first five nailed the cannon closes to the Command Bridge and destroyed it. The next five shots got the other cannon next to it and destroying that one as well. The four out of six shots crippled the cannon closest to the bow of the ship. Then Tim darted out of there to meet up with his team leader.
Caroline was locked on to the bridge and suddenly; seven shots total hit her Mobile Suit. Five got her left leg and completely destroyed it, while the other two crippled her left arm. As soon as Caroline was hit, it knocked her Mobile Suit out of balance and she tumbled toward the Command Bridge of the Feddy ship. As she tumbled toward the Feddy Bridge, she saw the people on the bridge moving out of the way, ducking for cover, but her Mobile Suit missed by a hair and she tumbled to Tim MS who was just finishing his attack.
"Caroline, get out of the way, you are going to hit me." Tim yelled as he was trying to descend without getting hit.
"I CANT... the balance seems to be messed up, oh no." Caroline cried for help as she tumbled to Tim.
But then her suit stopped, and she looked at the monitor to the left and saw Ray's Mobile Suit catch her.
"You alright in there Caroline." Ray responded to Caroline MS.
"... Yes Sir, thank you." Caroline replied back. And her nice sincere kind tone seemed to be back as she replied back.
The Federation Battleship Bertha Command Bridge...
As the men were headed back to their seats, Commander Chenlo ran back to his seat as well.
"All gunners, fire at will at the Mobile Suits in front of us. This time nail them and don't let one escape at all!" The Commander yelled to his XO to give the order.
"All gunners, aim at the Mobile Suits aft side and fire at will!" As the XO gave the order over the Mic.
Back in the cockpit of Ensign Ray...
"TIM, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!" Ray yelled at his wingman to get out of the enemies fire. Ray then ordered, "Tim, get Caroline Mobile Suit outta hear, ill take this Feddy head on!!" As Ray darted to the Feddy ship under heavy fire.
While he was charging with his shield blocking the most of the fire from the gunners, he was about to shoot with his 120 mm Machine Gun but a volley of fire came and destroyed his left hand and the gun as well.
The only option he had left was to get up close with his Heat Hawk and strike the bridge with it. But he couldn't get close enough and was getting tired of dodging the fire of the ship, then realize to try something a little different. He then charged from the bow side of the ship and with his Heat Hawk charged, he tossed the Heat Hawk at the bridge and saw it spinning towards the bridge, hoping it would be a direct hit.
On board the Federation Battleship Command Bridge...
"SIR, A FLAMING AX IS APROACHING US IN FRONT OF US... LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!" A radioman yelled at the top of his lungs
"Good God Almighty" Commander Chenlo said to himself as the Heat Hawk nailed the bridge and destroyed it completely.
In the cockpit of Ensign Ray...
"IT WORKED, YEA!" Ray excitedly said to himself as he raced to the bridge to pry up his Heat Hawk.
"...Well done brave one, you kept hold of you promise to protect the people you fight for, and the ones you care about," a barbaric voiced replied.
"Hey its that voice again." Ray said to himself.
"Destroy what you have crippled and let justice be served to all who want it..." The voice replied back to Ray.
Ray then did what the voice told him to, and Ray charged up his Heat Hawk and went to the side of the ship and plunged the Heat Hawk into the center of the ship and sliced the side of the Feddy Battleship. And when Ray came at the bottom of the hull, he pulled his Heat Hawk out and jetted off and yelled "Let Justice Be Served..."
In the cockpit of Petty Officer 1st Class Dennis Shambly...
"Sir, the ship is about to blow up, I see little explosions we better get back" Dennis responded to his team leader.
"Rick, do you see a Mobile Suit coming from the ship, it should be Ensign Ray's." Kay asked his other pilot.
"...Yea there he is, he coming in fast." Rick replied to Kay.
"Hey Ray, welcome back, ha ha ha." As Kay laughed to see that his fellow pilot was ok.
"...Where is my team, Kay?" Ray responded to Kay.
"They are on their way to your Battleship Enigma. There ok, all of them." Kay replied back to Ray.
"That is good to hear. Well let's get some rest, I believe that the operation is a success." Ray responded back to Kay in good spirits as they flew back to their battleships.
Onboard the Battleship Enigma...
"Sir, there are little explosions forming around the Federation Battleship." The radioman replied to the Commander.
"What? Tell all gunners to stand down from firing." The Commander ordered his XO. "I'll be, That Ensign Ray did it, and I don't believe it." Commander Clay told to himself as he exhaled in relief.
Then a big fireball emerged from the crippled Federation Battleship and all onboard the Battleship Enigma cheered for a great victory.
A few of hours later, the colony dropped on to the Earth and everyone was hoping it would be in South America, but it turned out, it was Sydney Australia. And everyone felt a bitter felling in them that their intended goal was the Federation, not a populated city. Then a few hours later, the 17th Fleet arrives to supply and repair damaged Mobile Suits. Ensign Ray and his team, having gotten three Saberfish and one Federation Magellan Class Battleship for their kills, get medals for receiving their first kill and for bravery and heroism. Ensign Kay and his team receiving three Saberfish kills total also get the same medals and are transfer to Battleship Enigma as a second Mobile Suit Team onboard.
But elsewhere, the 4th Earth Federation Space Fleet commanded by Fleet Admiral Tainem, is now on its way to engage with the Zeon Colony Escort Fleet along with the Battleship Enigma that is traveling along. See what happens next in the next chapter of Mobile Suit Gundam: Legend of The Dark Knight!
