Unknown battlefield, near sector L1
Explosions went off as multiple ZAFT and Earth Alliance ships fired at each other, either hitting or missing their intended targets, both sides gaining the advantage. Although, at least on the ship sides of things, ZAFTs GINNs made quick light work of their mobile armors on the battlefield. A blur dash across the stars within the distance, the sun shimmering off of its white-bodied armor. With enough drive moving forward, Deeraj clicked the thrusters, lowering the consumption of thrust to low boost, only activating when momentum is lost. The locking system aimed directly in front of a battleship of ZAFT.
A GINN flew in front of an Earth Alliance ship aiming the Bazooka at the bridge, its pink mono-eye glowing as it fired, breaking through the glass. The GINNs followed it up with the bridge gone, hitting vital points of the weekend ship, causing small sections to explode until it finally combusted and erupted. Flying off as more defenses from the other ships opened fire, ignoring the looming threat of ZAFTs ships. With the GINNs easily dodging the anti-mobile suit fire, and missiles, shooting the missiles, the ZAFT ships opened fire, grazing one EA ship with an ally hitting through the hull, puncturing onto the other side.
"Damn! We're losing ground!" The captain said as he looked over to see another ship destroyed.
"Sir! They have a lock from above!" The warning was enough to make those on the bridge look up, seeing a barrel rolling ZAFT Laurassia class aiming its main cannon building up. The captain only stared in horror. The only thing he can do while staring is let emit a gasp as some of his crew members got up from their posts and started to run. Fear was there, and there was nothing for them to do. As it was about to fire, a thin laser shot out the main cannon, causing debris to cover the bridge, as the Zaft ship was taken by surprise.
"You'll die!" Deeraj fired again, the thin laser, now a full cannon blasting through the front side of the ship and towards the back. Fragments of the ship went everywhere upon its destruction, sending the Nelson class ship downward from the shockwave. A white unit blaze past, moving through the debris it caused before its engines stopped, turning around with great mobility and then start again, firing off a second shot, revealing it was the one that caused the damage. While zipping through the battlefield, the ZAFT ships fired off missiles towards the bird-like unit. Awaken spin and climb up to avoid the missiles while stopping the main thrusters from pushing it forward to suddenly stopping making the projectiles fly past. While he flew, two beam sabers emerged from his talons, spreading so they can lock into place, being used as beam rifles in bird form.
Shooting off a laser, the missiles weren't that much of a threat, as Deeraj steered his machine around, locking onto his target. Then, with a cannon-like blast, the beam melted through the protective hall of the ship towards the other side, provoking an explosion from the warship. Gliding through the wreckage with ease, Awaken turned around with its thrusters, leaving a blue hue behind, as he headed for another ship.
"What was that?!" A GINN pilot asked as he turned around, seeing the damage done.
"Two of our ships have been destroyed?!" The two GINN pilots motioned for the others to help them, zooming towards the white, silver, and dark orange machine. With a long-range GINN stopping in place and open fire. The projectile travels towards its intended target, through the machine suddenly with great mobility, stopped its rear thrusters and flipped downward, then used its shoulder verniers to help move it out of the way. This sudden quick reaction time made the rest of the six GINNs open fire, one of them carrying a rocket launcher firing off two shots. The machine guns from the GINNs had little effect on the unit, merely bouncing off as they hit, but the rocket actually threw the aircraft off balance with a direct hit.
"Great shot!"
"Alright, enemy down, let's-"
"Wait, I'm still picking up a reading!"
The white-bodied craft spin out of control for a second out of the smoke created. Then, before stabilizing itself once again, its rifle on the tip slowly built up energy.
"What?!"
"It survived a direct bazooka?! Don't tell me it's one of those Phase shift armors!"
"All units scatter! He's tougher than we-"
A thin, powerful laser sliced through the battlefield, hitting the target's cockpit with skillful aim. The unit floated in the void as the other GINNs scattered, moving above or to the side of the white unit. Firing off their rounds towards the white jet, though it did nothing as the unit stopped on a dime, controlling the way it turned while shooting down another. It blitzes through the GINNs one by one, taking them out in 30 seconds in bird-form. Whizzing past the last GINN, Deeraj stepped on the accelerator and detached the sniper-rifle, the tip of his shield being sturdy and sharp enough to be used for ramming. While closing in the bridge, panic as the white air-craft speed towards them, their impending doom awaited.
"Fire off missiles! Aim cannons! Get it off our course now!" The commander screamed as the ship fired off missiles and its cannons on the sides. Awaken's body suddenly shifted as Deeraj pulled a lever, transforming into a pure white, sliver machine with dark orange in the shoulders and the talons on the forearms. Once in MS form, the shoulders open to reveal machine cannons and fired them like min Gatling guns into the rockets. A blinding light shined through the bridge, an unclear sign if they shot the unit down or not. While uncertainty remained in the air, Deeraj retrieved the rifle and used the smoke to cover his next attack.
"Any sign of the enemy?!"
"Nothing-Wait, I see something! Above us!"
"What!?"
Above them, Awaken aimed the sniper and shot its beam, cleaving clear the bridge. With a chain reaction form the attack, the ship slowly broke into pieces, yet no real explosion took place, only it floats in silence. Moving along from the ship, Deeraj glide through the rest of the field, seeing that there were three more ships to be taken care of. However, as he race towards the other ship, beeping throughout the cockpit made the young man stop looking around for anything. While he looked around, a rocket was fired off in his direction behind him, yet he didn't sense that fact and was hit in the back of the unit head, causing smoke to cover his vision. Emerging from the smoke, Deeraj turned his machine around, seeing a mono eye, staring directly at him, reeling back a fist.
Grunting, Deeraj pushed the left control stick forward, the protection detached from the forearm so that the hand can grab hold of it with his hand, taking in a huge amount of force from the hit, floating back as it bounces off. Then, moving his left arm, Deeraj responded with machine cannons towards the enemy, though the CGUE used its thrusters to back away and dodge the attempts.
"Fast," Deeraj back up and aimed with the beam sniper rifle. The CGUE took out the long sword on its hip and barely reacted in time to move his unit to dodge the beam weaving back thanks to the venires on its front side. Then, taking out its machine gun, the white, blue, and yellow CGUE fired bullets towards the white machine. Deeraj allowed the ammo to hit with it doing little to nothing towards his unit and aimed its sniper switching towards the buster rifle and open fire, emitting a beam from its barrel.
The white and yellow GINN pilot grunted and jumped up from his position, dodging the beam. The CGUE countered with its own shots from the machine gun, though Awaken easily dodged the bullets with ease, returning fire as they circle each other, neither getting the upper hand.
"Who is this pilot?!" The CGUE's pilot asked as he used the long sword to block the beams and returned his own fire. Though the bullets did nothing as they ricochet off the shield, Awaken threw the sniper rifle away, putting his shield upfront to protect as they rushed in as the forearm slide open so the beam saber could be grasped for use. Then, igniting it, the two units colliding blades sparks flying as the MS's bounced off one another, zipping past one another. Then turning around with their verniers before rushing in again, slashing diagonally towards each other, once again.
The blades connect while the machines stare down one another, with the Gundam pushing the blade away and immediately following up with a horizontal slash melting the chest slightly. Moving with the hit, the CGUE backed away but was bash back with a flying kick towards the face, knocking the unit back. However, the main thrusters stopped it from going any further. Alarms blaring within the cockpit, as the sensor is slightly damaged, there's a line cutting across the CGUE's torso.
"Commander White!" A GINN pilot with a black and red machine rushed towards him, followed by a multi-colored GINN, and a high mobility type fired off warning rounds towards him. Deeraj attached the shield on its arm, allowing a free hand, moving to protect himself. The rounds hit yet only pushed him back a little, Awaken turned its head in time to see a swing coming towards his chest. Thinking quickly, Deeraj pulled his control sticks down, making his unit duck up under the attack and counter with ramming his shield into the side of white CGUE.
"You damn Demon!" The red and black GINN rushed forward, firing off a rocket launcher towards the two units. Deeraj clenched his controls as he took the left arm and threw the commander's CGUE into the projectile, though it hit in the shoulder.
"Daymond!" The multi-colored GINN pilot said as he flew beside his ally.
"I know! Now He's open! Laya!"
"Right!" The high mobility GINN rushed forward, moving towards the left, firing off its high power machine gun towards the Gundam, which easily moved to the left, avoiding the shots, and then speed forward, leaving behind a white trail, almost like a blur. The three GINNs scatter and surrounded the white machine hoping to confuse the pilot.
"That'll do him!" At the same time, a garage of missiles from the multi-colored GINN and rockets from the red and black GINN. All coming from each side that he could see, so with superior turning ability, and thanks to the magnetic coating, he turned with ease, using the machine cannons on his shoulder, shooting each one down, causing a blinding light around him.
"Now!" The red and black GINN and high mobility GINN rushed forward. Taking out a melee weapon of their own suit's purpose, they rushed in, stabbing toward the blind machine. Or so they thought, the white and silver unit turned and fired off its machine cannons at the high mobility GINN, deterring it from its objective, letting up and ascending form the gunfire. Then Deeraj turned around, seeing the red and black GINN closing in, hook kicking the hand of the long sword away, and stabbed forward with its now ignited beam saber into the middle of the chest, causing the unit to electrocute as the saber cut up through the head, kicking the foe away, Deeraj turns his attention towards the last opponent.
Before he could do anything, Deeraj was hit in the side of his unit's head by a bazooka shell, causing him to lose balance a little. Regaining it quickly to feel a sensation in his head, causing the Newtype to finally use his powers. The high mobility unit rushed him, on his blind side, slashing diagonally into the sword, batting it away, then reeling his shield back to ram the pointed tip into the reactor, only for the white, yellow, and blue CGUE to push it out of the way taking the attack head-on into the cockpit.
"Gahh!" Commander White let out a wail as he felt his body be crushed from the stab.
"Commander!" Laya called out as she could only look on as everything happened so fast.
"NOO!"
Taking his shield out, Deeraj flew up and contained transformed into its bird form, flying off towards the other battleship. The group of three stood motionless, staring at their commander, taking his last breathes.
"He's dangerous, don't pursue!" With his final words, his unit's eye deactivated, and communication with him stop, leaving the machine floating on the battle-wrecked battlefield. A few seconds later, an explosion went off caused by the white and silver unit stabbing into the ship's weak points. Then flares fired off into the night sky, telling those still alive from Deerajs onslaught to return.
"Daymon!"
"Laya, let's go. If we stay here, we'll be in danger," the multi-colored GINN pilot said as she grabbed hold of the red and black GINN. Then, flying off as only two others returned with them, the earth alliance allowing them to leave.
Deeraj let out a sigh as he undid his helmet, floating in the void as he watches ZAFT retreat with the only ship they have, along with minimum MS's. Then, relaxing a little, he turned his unit around as he heard the beeping of a lock on. It was from an ally, though the signal was lost immediately as it turned around.
"Attention, unidentified unit! Please identify yourself!" The hostility was clear enough that he didn't have to sense it.
"Deeraj Young, Formally of the 6th fleet, destination ghost."
Silence hung in the air until there was a code, reading out towards his machine, reading it, it made the ace chuckle.
"Sorry for the threat, great work out their ghost! Please, if you need assistance, join our fleet."
"Roger, requesting permission to join."
"Permission granted, ghost! Welcome aboard for the time being."
Deeraj turned Awaken around and flew towards the commander's ship, its hanger door opening, for him to land.
Near debris belt close to plants
Nassir stood waiting as his machine was finished with its adjustments. Then, letting out a sigh, he looks out towards the board, seeing a group of ships approaching them in a set of fours.
"I'll handle this alone," Nassir put on his helmet and started to walk towards the door.
"Hey, don't get a big head on us now!" Abela smiled as he gave her a wink, walking out the door towards his machine.
"You think he'll be alright?" Selon asked as he leaned on his locker, staring at the younger male floating towards his new machine.
"Just dandy," Abela said with a smile as Wolverine walked onto the catapult gravity letting the giant machine lift into the air of the hanger.
"Nassir Hanlon, Wolverin, Launching!" With that, his machine was hurled into space, its phase shift activating as he moves through the stars towards the earth Alliance forces. The cockpit shook as the machine increase speed, thanks to Nassir stepping on the peddle harder.
"Alright, Nassir, this is a showing for if the technology works or not, so be mindful! It isn't 100% yet, so precautions on whatever move you're going to make!"
A female voice told him, listing off the weapons he has at the unit's disposal.
"The enemy is straight ahead. Make quick work on them in this amount of time! Good Luck!"
A smile crept on his face while the unit continued to shake from the growing velocity. Through the weapons, Nassir selected the beam rifle and aimed. While he did, Wolverine moved his arm.
"Unidentified unit, please classify yourself!" The voice of an Earth Alliance officer spoke with mild urgency. Pushing forward, the blue hue behind Nassir increased as he speeds forward, the sound of his machine's engines slowly piercing the ears of his enemies. The unit shook violently as its velocity enhanced, something Nassir was used to at this point in the war, and shot, the beam travels through the stars spiraling as it got closer to its intended target.
"Sir! A heat source is coming down on us at 12:00!"
"Evasive maneuvers!"
Right as he screamed, that verniers on the side of the ship pushed it to the side, though it was a little too late as the beam scrapped the side of the ship's cannon, causing the crew members to either scream or grunt out loud.
"That's beam weaponry! Is it really the G units?!"
"Sir! We have a visual!" One operator said as he pulled an image on the screen.
"That... Isn't one of ours? Did they figure out beam technology already?!" The captain asked no one in particular as the machine drew closer and closer before finally being upon them firing two shots. The first beam tanked the hit for the bridge, only slightly melting the armor covering the people inside. The second beam melted through a cannon on the top side of the ship, making it explode a little. Wolverine put the gun up and took out an anti-ship gun, pressing down on both pedals, suspending his movement, making the verniers on the unit help. Opening fire, the gun jolt back, easing the unit a little in space, hitting directly through the ship's hall. A few seconds later, the EA spaceship exploded from the inside while Nassir searched for his next target.
Turning around, he flew towards the other two ships, seeing their defensive already on full display. Rockets and machine-gun fire from the balls put a smile on Nassir's face as he saw the attempts come towards him. Moving his left stick as he aimed for the ship, Nassir, pulled the trigger, sending the bullet with explosive rounds into the hanger. After a few seconds of dodging what he could, the round didn't take long before it caused a chained reaction inside, erupting into smaller chunks of debris. Then, with one more ship in his way, pressure from above stopped his cockiness while Nassir reacted in time to dodge a beam rifle from above.
Nassir's black and gold unit backed away while looking up towards the endless sea of stars, yet a particular blue light shinned different than the rest. It was that of a mobile suit. A stream-like unit, with nothing but white paint on it besides the eyes, its head appears to be that of a GINN. In its hand was a rifle. Firing off a shot, the beam traveling through space, hitting Nassir's beam rifle despite his attempts at dodging the shot. The beam was a long thin one, yet the MS could control it in a straight line with pinpoint accuracy. Letting go of the weapon, Nassir put his shield up as it exploded.
"Damn! What the?!" Looking up, the unit was quick, closing in on him with incredible speeds, enough to even rival Wolverines own. Firing off another shot, the beam again was guided towards Nassir's shield melting through the shields coating. Using the verniers to move aside, his unit bypassed the beam as it ran out of its energy. Yet the pressure from before caused the Coordinator to look up, seeing his opponent right on top of him swinging down with a beam saber. Time slowed down as the two machines stared down the other for a split second. The two-eyed machine stares into the one-eyed unit. Nassir moved first and made a predictable move placing his shield up in front leaving himself wide open, much to the unknown pilot's pleasure. Moving its arm back inside, then slashing outward, the unknown pilot's saber sliced through Nassir's shield, cutting it into two.
Backing up, Nassir grunted as he stopped his unit and stared towards his new foe. "What's up with this?! Why do I feel this pressure from this suit?!"
"Nassir, return to base."
"What?"
"That's an order!"
Nassir groaned but obliged nonetheless, turning around and flying away from the battlefield. While the coordinator left, the unknown pilot undid his helmet and smiled to himself, letting out a sigh as he looked around the clear 180 view in the cockpit. The pilot had a small afro and dark brown eyes with dark brown skin. The demeanor on Longshot's face spelled out relief.
"This is Longshot. The enemy has retreated."
"Roger Longshot, what would the Alliance do without you?" The captain responded as The unit slowly returned towards the Battleship, its hanger opening up slightly to take him in.
Back at base, moving back towards the Plants
"Damn! Who was that guy?!"
"Longshot, he's one of Earth Alliances top aces. Though his numbers aren't as wild as the newtypes own, he's still dangerous because of how little they use him," Abela looked up towards the ok machine, not a bruise mark on it. "But at least you managed to get out alive!"
"Barely, he had stayed longer, he might be another statistic."
"Grr, shut it Selon!"
"It's good you came back though, we got the data we needed," the female voice, Nalina, said as Nassir slowly started to walk away, waving his hand back.
"Yeah, yeah," he said as the automatic door open, and the young pilot made his way back towards his room.
