Dawn Of A New Era
Chapter 2
Tactical failures, and maneuvers
Yohei, smiled from underneath his steel-alloy helm; the interior lighting glowing off his visor.
Fool, looks like you're next; I will not forgive you.
Hastily switching his com to his team, he began to issue commands, like a born veteran.
"Mei flank him to the right! Van! Flank him on the left! Grin do the same with Mei! NOW!"
Speedily, Yohei flipped his head to the side, checking out the vision of his wing-men, and women, making sure every order was followed to precision. Again he turned another 45 degrees to the right, he now looked forward; eyeing the new Cross MS interested.
Hmm. So this is the new supposedly powerful threat, HQ's warned us about. A threat my ass. All to hell I bet it couldn't even lay a scratch on us. Well anyway it does look pretty fancy, and showy with it's brilliant clean-white commander's antennae. No matter, no threat will stop the Imperium of Zeon. No matter.
"CLICK."
Quickly Yohei's MS withdrew it's beam javelin, from his side, swiftly positing it's arms in front of it with the shaft pointing towards the G-suit, his Zakei turned so that the left side, faced the Cross MS.
Prepare to meet your downfall, vermin.
"Shit! Looks like I'll have to fight my way."
Anxiously Naruto turned his right joystick up to grab his beam saber, unable to with the clamp still locked, his arm, barely moved an inch.
"Damn." He answered remembering the clamp.
Looks like I'll have to break it.
Again furiously he jolted his left joystick back, the arm tearing through the clamp restraint. Finally able to move freely with the right side, he grasped his beam saber handle from behind him, and pulled it down activating at simultaneously. Alert, his blood-red tired eyes, looked around unaware, of Yohei's newly issued commands; his left arm also breaking free, rushing up the grip the beam sabers handle too.
"Looks like this will be a challenge."
His front leg, the knee joint bending forward, the back leg shifting to the right, and back. Both arms raising close to the MS's face, the strong metallic hands, gripping tightly.
"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Fool, how dare you challenge me."
"YAIIIIIIII!"
Briskly the green Zakei, with to yellow stripes across it's chest-plate, charged forward, towards Naruto. His beam javelin humming with energy just as briskly as it's owner, stayed poised in it's lance position readied to impale the G-suit. Yohei's brilliant cerulean eyes, staring so vividly into the vid screen, that it almost seemed he could see into Naruto's fiery soul.
"SMASH! CRUNCH! SMASH! CRUNCH!"
The Zakei's momentum was building up towards it's destination, as it desecrated numerous military structures, and mobile armors, below it.
Almost there.
"SHLING! SWISH!"
The beam javelin faltered from the Zakei's hands, slowly the Zakei toppled, leaving not a scratch on the G-suit's surface.
A sweating Naruto's crest-fallen face looked up from it's victory, into the glowing vid screen. Yohei slid from his chair within the Zakei, coughing up blood, into his leather-covered hand. Surprised both all three fellow pilot's of Yohei, gasped, at the fallen Zakei. It's internal armor ruptured, the exterior chest-plate barely a plate at all, the metal crushed under, a laser's pressure. The silence continued.
The com suddenly switched on, a familiar voice, echoed, inside, each of the three remaining Zakei's saying it's last words.
"For the Emperor, and Imperium."
Almost like a trigger the remaining MS sprang from their positions trapping the G-suit against the wall. Mei's withdrew it's beam hatchet willingly, gripping it like the grip of survival. Van, and Grin, both withdrawing their 145mm Machine guns. Both shook in their seats hesitantly as they pointed their polished guns, at the killer of their commander.
Words sprung crazily, and wildly, in Naruto's head, almost driving him insane.
Finish them! No run, wait, stall wait for additional Cross mobile armors to appear! Finish them!
Unsure he dropped his beam saber to the side and charged the nearest Zakei: Mei's.
Poised to fight the Zakei made a swing from the bottom, coming up to the head, at Naruto's. Angered he fell, downward, slamming his right fist into the chest-plate, of Mei's. A split-second late, both Van and Grin, unleashed a barrage of 145mm bullets, into the Cross MS; backing up without the slightest turn of their eyes on their vid screens.
"Burn in hell Cross!"The words silently were uttered from Van's pale lips.
The smoke from the gunfire slowly began to disappear, both Zakei still backing up, halted all fire, and scanned the temporary mist.
"Grin, check you radar, see if there's anything, I see nothing so far."
"Yes sir... nothing so far. Should I alter the scanners to different degrees?"
"No prepare for another barrage. Keep your eyes peeled."
"Sir."
