Phase 2: The Blind Battle
BuCues lined the border to the ZAFT territory, ready to strike down anything that tried to cross over. Although they were making attempts to strike down the Earth Alliance units, something just didn't seem right...
"This is way too easy...just shoot them down one by one and watch as their units burn," Orga remarked, shooting round after round from Calamity's plasma-sabot bazooka.
"Hmph...if you weren't on top of me, then I'd be the one annihilating them!" Crot growled, unhappy about having to use Raider's mobile armor form as Calamity's mode of transport for the time being.
"Something's fucked up about this...we've been taking out so many of their units, yet they've barely returned fire..." Shani questioned from his position under the water's surface.
"I don't know and I honestly don't care!" Orga replied, "As long as they're all dead then we won't get 'punished'!"
Shani decided it best to wait for ZAFT's naval fleet and his chance to strike.
Suddenly, a blast from the mainland hit Calamity head on causing the Gundam to jump off of Raider. "Who the hell did that!" Orga demanded, scanning the battlefield for the source of the blast.
It was then that he spotted the unit that had opened fire on him. It looked similar to a BuCue, but it was orange and it seemed to have more equipment.
"You...dammit! You're going down for that!" Orga hollered as Calamity charged for the mobile unit, but just as he was about to tackle the other unit down, the Calamity began to sink into the ground causing the unit the buckle and nearly fall over. "Eh? What the fuck!" Orga growled, trying to get his Gundam free of the sand.
"Heh, you might wanna be careful of where you step, boy, for you never know what the desert hides..." came the pilot's voice.
"And just who the hell are you!" Orga demanded, trying to adjust his Gundam's OS to match the surrounding desert terrain.
"I'm Andrew Waltfeld, also known as the Desert Tiger. I'm commander of the ZAFT forces here in Africa," he explained while keeping a cool tone with the other pilot.
"Should've known..." Orga muttered, making an advance towards the unit and intending to shoot it down using Calamity's energy cannon.
'Shit! ZAFT's naval fleet is proving to be a little more then I can handle...' Shani thought as Forbidden shot out of the water, pursued by several blasts from the underwater ZnOs and GOOhNs.
"Why don't you all just disappear!" Shani sneered, blasting a charged plasma cannon shot from Forbidden and arcing it towards the waters below. It seems that the blast had reached it's target as a blinding flash lit the water.
Crot had his hands full at the moment trying to destroy some of the resident DINNs that guarded the area. Crot tried to hold them off by using one of Raider's machine guns, but that was proving to be a useless method as the DINNs kept swarming. "Damn...You bastards!" Crot shouted, sending Raider's spherical breaker in their direction and managed to knock some of them out of the sky.
The battle raged on as ZAFT sent in more troops to defend the area. The battle was slowly, but surely beginning to tilt towards ZAFT's fleets...
