Chapter 1: Above all, courage
Military space station F-245637
above the earth which is now ravaged by war Lieutenant Major Ranma walks through the halls of the military space station wearing a green combat uniform and walks into the briefing room.
Ryoga: ATTENTION, OFFICER ON DECK!
Everyone stands up to attention and Ranma walks towards a table and stands behind it.
Ranma: As you were.
Everyone sits down.
Ranma: Okay people, this is the moment that we've all trained for. We're going in at 0700 hours, so good luck everyone.
Everyone leaves to get their equipment, elsewhere people are saying farewell to their families such as one Darien shields who says his farewells to Serena as he grabs his gear and walks out the door and goes to the departure bay only to find one Lieutenant colonel Ranma Saotome standing in the middle of the room with all his equipment along with Sergeant major Ryoga Hibiki and his equipment.
Ranma: We've got two hours left you should go spend your final hours with Serena.
Darien: What about you sir?
Ranma: The Sergeant major and me don't have anyone to say goodbye to.
0600 hrs
Everyone is gathered in the drop ship departure bay standing to attention.
Ranma: We will probably be landing under heavy fire; I cannot promise that I will bring everyone back alive. As an officer I will be the first to set foot on the ground and the last to step off of the ground. Remember your training… and above all, courage.
Ryoga: YOU HEARD HIM. NOW MOVE!
Everyone boards the drop ship; the two pilots are Rei Ayanami and Shinji Ikari, everyone in the hold of the ship store their weapons and supplies and lock themselves into the seats, up in the cockpit the two pilots are making the final preparations for the drop.
Rei: Control this is drop ship death or glory requesting permission to leave?
Control: This is control, permission granted and good luck.
Rei: Thanks control.
The departure bay doors open and Shinji turns on he after burners, the drop ship moves forward and leaves the space station behind, they enter earths atmosphere and it turns into a bumpy ride, they touch down outside an old fort and the drop bay opens and everyone rushes out holding their weapons.
Ranma: Okay, A Company I want a perimeter setting, B Company I want you to clear that fort NOW MOVE OUT!
Shinji: We gotta go now, you call we haul.
Ranma: Okay.
Ranma holds on to his helmet as the drop ship leaves, he turns round and walks into the fort, Ryoga meets him in the fort.
Ryoga: It's all clear, but whoever was here last left in a hurry.
Ranma: Okay tell the medics to set-up a hospital and tell the rest to get some rest, we could have some unwanted company soon.
Ryoga: Yes sir.
Elsewhere
Trieze stands in a room looking at a map when Kuno runs in.
Kuno: SIR! An enemy drop ship has just landed and men are moving into the abandoned fort.
Trieze: They will suffer the same fate as the last.
Kuno: Shall I tell the men to get ready?
Kuno: Yes.
Kuno runs off to tell the men; soon others are running with weapons in hand.
