Chapter 15

Suzaku looked at the black airship that was coming towards them a bit surprised to encounter the enemy this far from Japan.

This can't be their flagship it's too small and there ain't as much Knightmares as I thought they'd be Whatever the reason there was no retreat now, that airship was blocking their way.

"I want you to give this order to our pilots; they are to draw the Knightmares away from the enemy ship so we can get closer to board it!" Suzaku ordered to the numerous officers.

"We ain't going to shoot it down?" One of them asked.

"No I want to capture whoever in charge of this attack myself." Suzaku wanted answers to a lot of questions; he doubted the real leader of his new enemies was the one attacking them but it could possibility be his second in command or another higher up.

As the Tristan Divider, Mordred, Siegfried and Guren started to engage the enemy units with over a hundred other Knightmares Suzaku wished he was out there in the battle field with them. However Rakshata had yet to finish his new Knightmare Frame so he was stuck on the command bridge.

Are they going to use the new Lancelot model they stole from us? Could Lloyd be on that ship! It was a definite possibility and if he was Suzaku was going to take him back.

"Damn can't believe you managed to destroy one of these things in just a Vincent model, these bastards are tough" Suzaku heard Gino complain over the radio.

"Watch out for the Crimson Knightmare I told you about, its way more powerful than any of them." Suzaku warned before turning his attention back to the battle. It was going well Kallen was leading ten other Knightmares and had already destroyed five of the enemy's and Gino was too fast for any of them.

"Pilot start getting closer to the enemy ship and prepare a boarding party!" Suzaku ordered as he turned around to leave the control room.

XXX

Jeremiah Gottwald had just destroyed one of the enemy Knightmares when three others attacked him from behind, before he had time to fire any Slash Harkens one of the Black Knightmare thrust his Lance into the back of his Siegfried and sent it spinning down towards the ocean.

I'm not out yet! Jeremiah sent the Siegfried orders to quickly pull up and it did just in the nick of time.

Damn, their energy wings give them the speed advantage over my Siegfried Rakshata had designed it to be similar to the first Siegfried he piloted, which was why it was built with a control system that read his thoughts through several cables in his back than a normal cockpit, but she added some additional features that reduced it's speed.

"Well let's try them now!" Jeremiah shouted as he turned his Knightmare back towards his opponents.

The three Knightmres that attacked him where still hovering above, two had lances while one had a VARIS rifle which was now charging to fire.

"Main cannon fire!" Jeremiah commanded as the front of his Siegfried opened up to reveal a glowing red sphere which in the blink of an eye fired a powerful crimson laser towards his opponents.

The two with lances scattered while the VARIS one was hit dead centre and exploded in a burst of red light.

Hah it may look like a VARIS but it's only a decent knock off of our version Britannian models would never take that long to fire. But his moment of victory was short lived as the two other Knightmares started to close in.

Give me a break! He then fired his two front Slash Harkens at the two Knightmares which connected with there chests and forced them back, but that was all it did.

He used this time however to move in close to one of the Knightmares and while charging at full speed switched the remaining Slash Harkens to face the front. Before the Knightmare had chances to recover Jeremiah impaled the Knightmare with five of his Slash Harkens and quickly retreated as the Knightmare exploded in a burst of red light as well.

These guys are good but they never faced an opponent like me before Jeremiah withdrew the Slash Harkens just as a thick red Hadron Cannon blast fired just to his right.

"Anya why are you firing so close!" He asked, wondering what Anya was thinking as he saw the Mordred just above him.

"You got careless." Anya replied very quickly.

Before he could reply he saw the legs of a Black Knightmare fall past him on his right and crashed into the ocean. Now he realized that Anya had destroyed the third Black Knightmare he didn't attack.

"Thanks for the assist," He said smiling, Anya may still seem emotionless at times but he could tell from the tone of her voice she was concerned, "Won't happen again, now lets get back to work."

"Roger." Anya said has they headed to the next group of Knightmares.

As they sped towards the next group he saw the Avalon was charging towards the enemy ship.

Soz it took a while for the new chapter but I hope you enjoy!
