Ike heard the cockpit open, and, without thinking, rushed to the downed Mobile Suit. The Myrmidon II's head was shoved into the wall, making it almost resemble a wrecked arch. Ike heard a grunt, and a click, and then saw someone drop out of the cockpit. Ike went into a roll, barely landing under the person before they hit the ground.

"Are you alright, Princess?" Lyn asked Leanne, not even looking down at what they landed on.

"Yes…" Leanne muttered, somewhat shocked from the attack and the crash. "But I don't think that he is…" She said, motioning towards Ike. Lyn looked down, then gasped and jumped off of Ike. She then held out her hand, to help Ike up. Ike grimaced, and took the hand. Lyn pulled him up, then flushed slightly, embarrassed.

"Sorry, didn't mean to… fall on you." She stated.

"Think nothing of it." Ike said, shaking his head. "Ike." The man said, holding out his hand.

"Lyn." The green-haired girl answered, shaking the hand. "And this is…Lean." Lyn said, lying. Joshua, Sain and Mist made their way over to them, Sain looking around to make sure everything was safe.

"O, Beauteous one, my name is Sain. And this roguish man of a gambler is Joshua." Sain said, bowing. Joshua mimicked the motion, sweeping his hat in front of him as he did so. Mist smiled.

"And I'm Ike's sister, Mist." A cough interrupted the introductions, and they all turned to see a young man with a cold glare standing in the hallway. He appeared to be wearing some sort of robes.

"There is no time for introductions. We must get the Princess to safety." The man said.

"Princess?" Joshua asked, giving the man a confused glance.

"I said there was no time. We have to hurry. And it appears my path is blocked." the man said, nodding to the downed Mobile Suit.

"We'll be taking this side passage. My ship is docked on the east side of the complex. Doubtless, Daein has already sent soldiers to stop us from reaching the Renais. You, Ike I believe, are now to serve as my bodyguard until we reach the ship. Is that understood?" The man asked. Ike was about to say something, when they heard a gun cock. They all turned to see a Daein Soldier holding an rifle, and pointing it at Leanne. Faster than anyone could blink, the soldier was dead on the ground. The robed man now held a smoking pistol in his hand.

"Is that understood?" He reiterated. Ike looked away, and then nodded.

"We're caught up in this anyway. Joshua, you stay at the back of us, and watch for soldiers that might follow. Sain, you take point with me." Ike stated. Soren almost smirked.

"If it helps you to follow my orders, you may call me Soren, of the Renais." Ike nodded, and then turned to Lyn.

"Can you run?" He asked.

"Of course!" Lyn said, smirking. She walked over to the fallen soldier, and picked up his pistol.

"Let's go."

Innes shot down a Soldier that was following them, even as Zihark cut down one in front.

"For safety and rearming the Regal and our Mobile Suits were stored on the west side of the base." Innes stated.

"So we have to trust that one boy can make it to the Renais and past any opposition on the way?" Greil asked. Zihark smirked.

"Soren can handle himself."

Joshua let out a yell as a soldier that appeared behind the group fired off a shot. Soren spun around and shot the man, but not before Lyn was hit in the shoulder. Lyn grimaced, and Sain moved her arm over his shoulder to help support her.

"We're almost there. Once we pass through this hallway we'll reach the Melior R&D Shipyard. If all goes according to plan, we shouldn't have much opposition, and the Renais will be safe. If not…" Soren's voice trailed off as they ran. Upon reaching the door, Ike looked at everyone, and swung the door open. They ran out onto a balcony overlooking the shipyard, to see the Renais, still docked, and the area seemingly clear.

"Odd." Lyn muttered.

"What is?" Mist asked.

"We haven't seen a single member of the R&D crew around. Could they have been in on it?" Lyn asked, her brows knitted.

"Mayhaps so." Sain said, frowning.

"None of that is important at the moment." Soren stated.

"He's right." Ike added. "Joshua, you and I will go first."

"Right." Joshua said, making his way over to a staircase. Before he took another step he pulled out a coin, and flipped it. Nodding in approval, Joshua and Ike descended the stairs.

Greil closed the cockpit on the Regal, and began to activate the operating system.

"Alright. Zihark, Nephenee, you can have the soldiers. I'm sure they have a Gundam out there. Greil, that's your target. I'll have your back." Innes said, firing up his Murasame-Class Archer MK II.

"Understood." Greil stated, powering up the Regal. It's deep navy armor seemed to shine as the Gundam activated.

Two close range battle knives, twin gatlings on the head, a single beam rifle and two beam sabers. A standard mobile suit by all accounts…

Beside Greil, Zihark and Nephenee launched in their Myrmidon and Jegan-Class Soldier.

Ike dropped to dodge a round of shots from a soldier.

"Soren! Get back! It's a trap!" Ike yelled.

Joshua rolled forward, and popped up, striking a soldier's jaw with his head as he came up. Joshua grabbed his pistol, and fired at another soldier.

"They're on the deck of the Renais!" Lyn yelled, grabbing Leanne and pulling her to the ground.

"We have to retake the ship!" Soren yelled, moving forward to regroup with Ike and Joshua. Sain pushed Mist to the ground, and then moved down to join them.

"Stay down." Lyn whispered to the girls, then crawled towards her new companions.

"Ike, you and Lyn make a break for the ship. Sain, you be the distraction. Joshua and I will hold them down." Soren said, reloading. Sain nodded, and jumped out of cover.

"Hey, cowards! Over here!" The man yelled, running across open ground. Ike and Lyn ran for the boarding platform. Soren got a shot in one of the men on the deck, and Joshua killed another. A soldier jumped in front of the boarding platform and fired, but Lyn dodged the shots. Ike charged the man, and belted him. A second punch knocked the man out. Another soldier came at Ike with a steel pipe, but Lyn shot him. Ike ran for the deck. A shot rang out, and Ike felt a stinging pain in his right leg, but carried on with his charge and knocked the man off the deck and to the ground below. Ike steadied himself on the railing, and waved his hands. The others made their way to the ship. Soren went to the bridge and began to fire up the engines.

"Joshua, begin dock release procedures!" Soren called over the ship's comm system. Joshua looked over at Sain and Ike, and shrugged.

"How do we do that?" Sain asked. Lyn shook her head, and went to do it herself.

"Princess, will you check Ike's leg?" Lyn asked.

"Wait, you got shot as well." Ike said. "Let me help you, and then we can both get checked out."

Lyn nodded.

"Captain, the Renais is airborne. Our girl is flying again." Soren stated, smiling.
