New Mobile Report Gundam P

Chapter Nine - The Scythe that killed the Righteous.

"The Legendary...Mobile Pilot?" asked Ark. "The one and only," replied Luca. "Thank...you..." finished Ark. He then typed on his keyboard, and then sent a message to the alledged Kesser Shell. It read "K. SHELL? NEED ASSISTANCE? U R FIGHTING GUNDAM" Within a few moments, the screen read "WHO R U? ASSIST. WLD B NICE!" Ark smiled, and then flew to Gundam PHI.

Hmmm.... thought Maww. I could kill both of them in one battle. Maww laughed, and soon found himself coughing. What...is wrong with me? He turned his attention back to the battlefield, and engaged the S.O (Special Operations) A.R.I.E.S that Shell was piloting.

Gundam PHI engaged the A.R.I.E.S without regret. Their beam sabres clashed, shields hit, and armour scarred. Gundam PHI unleased its Gattling Gun, and fired upon Shell. Shell's suit flew back, but then retaliated with a shot of the Beam Rifle it carried. This caused major scarring of Maww's frontal. As Maww got ready for the next assault, the Phoenix's Beam Scythe hit PHI's Arm, and severed its hand.

"What?!" yelled Maww in his cockpit. He watched as the two suits ganged up on him. He got ready his ejection gear.

Outside, the two suits kept assaulting the Gundam. In a flash of light, the Gundam exploded, causing the A.R.I.E.S to lose power. Ark was surprised, and quite distraught. He wanted to finish Maww off...but...this wasn't filling. He wanted more closure. But he had to settle for what he got.

"Gundam Phoenix to A.R.I.E.S S.O, this is Ark Odaiba of the Earth Republic. I assume you are Kesser Shell," said Ark to the communication system. "Yes, but...can't talk...low power," replied the voice. Ark initiated the tractor pulse, and brang it close to the Nadesico, the nearest ship.

Inside the Nadesico, Kesser Shell and Ark Odaiba got out of their Mobile Suits. Gamow had also docked, and went out to meet them. "Well...the Legendary Kesser Shell..." said Gamow. Shell and Gamow hugged a bit, and they looked at eachother. "How long...has it been?" asked Shell. Ark was dumbfounded. He didn't know what was going on. "Eight years.." replied Gamow. He looked at Ark, and felt stupid. "I knew Kesser Shell, from when we went to high school. We then fought in a battle together...and then we never saw each other," said Gamow. "Until now," added Shell, "I understand my daughter is on this ship," he continued. "Yes, Mania Shell," said Gamow, who was just walking into the room. Kesser turned to Ark. "Do you know my daughter?" asked Kesser. Ark didn't know what to say. He had seen her around on the Nadesico, but had never talked to her. He just didn't want to be rude and say that he was not nice to her. "I have talked to her a couple of times," replied Ark, as his lying was apparent. Kesser chuckled.

"Commander, Phoenix and Kesser have made it onto the Nadeisco," said Luca. Genowa was relieved. But she still had a task infront of her, and she had to act fast if she wanted to finish this. "Kiru, status on our weapons," said Genowa. Kiru studied the screen intensively, "Junika Cannons at 49 charge, and we've lost two buster cannons. Shields are at 10, hull is at 72," replied Kiru. Genowa looked concerned. Her ships current status was not fit to fight, but she knew that this ship HAD to fight. "Jon, turn ship 70 degrees to the port. Kiru, intensify forward laser and gattling batteries. Luca, send a message to the remainder of the fleet. They must target all capital ships," commanded Genowa.

Outside, the Najica wove between IFTA ships, firing a barrage of beams at each ship. The Versailles, now leading a group of Spectre-Class Warships was heading for a pair of Daytona Classes. The Republic Mobile Division, almost 63 destroyed, rallied at Phobos, one of Mars' moons, and attacked a group of IFTA Mobile Suits. The Nadesico now positioned itself to face off the Enemy Flagship.

"Kiru, status on Junikas?" asked Genowa, now increasingly worried about the outcome of this battle. The Mars Battlestation was still thirty minutes from joining the battle, as it was orbitting the far side of Mars, and this worried Genowa even more. She thought that they would not be able to hold out that long. But how could she let it end like this...it all depended on Kiru's report. "Commander, Junikas, 94 charged!" replied Kiru. Genowa thought for a moment, and decided to take action. "Kiru, take aim at the flagship. Divert power from the shields, I don't care if we won't have any shields left...just do it," commanded Genowa. "Sir, if we fire the Junikas, it would severly damage, maybe even destroy, the Najica!" exclaimed Luca. Genowa now was presented with a decision. "Kiru...fire!"

The Space Battle continued to rage on, as every ship was occupied with a ship from the other side. But as the battle reached a climax, the Najica, for one moment full of energy, fired its four Junika cannons at the flagship. At first, nothing seemed to happen. But, as time got faster again, the hull started to brustle with bangs, and followed by one big epitome of explosions. Every ship rocked within the Mars Sector. But just as the dust settled, the realized that it wasn't the Junikas that destroyed that ship, it was a single Mobile Suit: Gundam Phoenix. Its scythe was powered up, and rested in Phoenix's hands. The Phoenix gracefully flew alongside the Nadesico, which was fighting its way to the rest of the fleet that were rallying at Phobos.

"Sir, the enemy flagship was been destroyed!" yelled Kiru. Genowa turned to her, and looked seriously at the screen infront of her. "What do you mean? Did our Junika's do that much damage?" asked Genowa. Kiru studied the map and the screen, and finally replied, "No...it was the Phoenix." Genowa looked at the main screen surprisingly, and as she saw the fleet gathering at the moon of Mars, she ordered Jon to head there too.

"This is Ark to all Mobile Suits, engage the enemy in random, guerrilla attacks!" commanded Ark. He had ordered the Mobile Suits to engage in hit and run attacks, which would ultimately wear down the much larger IFTA force. "Ark, this is Gamow. We comply, but I have a few adjustments...Attack third quater, second rank...it's most weak there!" replied Gamow. Ark looked at his screen, and noticed a gap in the suits there. He immediately sped off towards it.

"This is Commander Versen, of the starsip Yander Mills. We require immediate assistance!" yelled a voice over the communications systems. The Najica bridge was going crazy, for many comm. transmissions were coming through, requesting assitance. Genowa knew that they could not respond to all of them, so in a fleeting moment, she decided to do her own thing, and take the Najica into the heart of the IFTA attack force. "Luca, E.T.A. on Mars Defense Station?" asked Genowa. Luca looked at her monitor, and replied "Fifteen Minutes, forty-two seconds!" Genowa looked at the mass before her. She didn't know if the Najica could hold out that long. But, studing the screen closer brought her to a relevant weakness..."Kiru, hard to port, ask the fleet to follow us!"

The Najica rolled port-wise, and started down. The Versailles followed, then the Yander Mills, then the Nadesico, all towards a group of Capital Ships. The Phoenix followed in a timely manner, providing cover for the Republic ships. Soon after, the whole fleet followed through.

"Kiru, target the first ship's engines, maximum power!" commanded Genowa.

The Najica weaved in and out, and started to fire on the engines of the first capital ship. In a few moments, the capital ship started to explode, and finally blew up.

"One Capital Ship down, sir!" exclaimed Luca. Genowa could see that these capital ships, although very powerful, could not move fast enough to evade the Republic Fleet's weapons. "Kiru, target the next capital ship, Luca, engage movement pattern Gamma," commanded Genowa.

This group of Capital ships were sitting ducks. They could not fire amongst their ranks, or they would hit the other ships. And it was apparent that the rest of the IFTA forces would not get there in time, as they were fighting off the rest of the Mobile Suit division. But, as the Najica was flying in and out, one of the starships collided with another, creating a massive explosion wave, knocking the Najica away, and destroying the Yander Mills.

"Sir, we have 90 Hull damage, no weapons, no shields...I suggest we evacuate!" said Jon. Genowa was not going to give up. She wanted to go down fighting. "Jon, engage engines, maximum power!" commanded Genowa.

The Nadesico was crippled, and could do nothing more than float in space. As the Najica prepared to ram the last ship, a barrage of cannon-fire came from Phobos. It hit all of the capital ships, and destroyed most of them. It was the Mars' Station.

"Sir, Mars Station! It has come into firing range!" yelled Luca. Genowa was relieved, and immediately turned to Luca. "Luca, send a message to the fleet, tell them to proceed to the station!"

In an instant, all the ships and mobile suits and fighters made their way to the Mars Station. Though it was clearly visible that the Republic had a station near Mars, the IFTA forces could not detect it, because it was shrouded from IFTA radars, so, blindly, the IFTA forces followed the Republic forces, just to find the most powerful Battlestation the Republic had in exsitance. In an instant, the force that once was crushing the Republic, was reduced to floating scrap metal in the dark of space.

"Finally...it is done," said Ark, over his Comm System in Phoenix. Ark turned the Phoenix towards the depths of space, and he stared out. The scythe, with which he destroyed the enemy leaders, broke into three parts, and went back into their respective slots. "Are you coming in?" asked Luca over the comm system. Ark thought for a minute, and finally said, "In a few minutes...alright?"
