[Actual RP] earth 2130

Zeria's grin spread wide as she and Hownam got the okay. He would be able to hear her laugh over the com, which she'd conveniently forgotten to shut off. She pulled her helmet on, waited for the go to launch, and smirked. This would be a training battle to remember.

"Zeria Iiyasei in the Blitz, launching now!"

The moment she launched, the phase shift armor of the Blitz activated. She wasn't sure she wanted to let him see what it was like to fight against Mirage Calloid yet. That would be too easy to beat him. She positioned herself in front of the Freedom with only 2 gundam's distance between them. She let her helmeted face show up on video display. She had this look that was a cross between the determination to show him she was a better pilot, and a smirk that mocked the one he'd given her.

"Don't cry when you lose, Hownam. I've studied your skills, but I doubt you've studied mine. You seem to high in your seat to think about doing that"

And she meant it too. He seemed arrogant. Thought he was the best. She intended to knock him down a notch. She paused for a moment. Then again...she did kind of like him...and didn't want to make him think she hated him or anything. She shook her head.

"Just don't complain"

She shut down the video link and com link, and the Blitz whipped out the lancer spear, holding it in front of itself defensively. Zeria took a deep breath. She was ready to go attack him, but suddenly the Elroze was there. She reopened the com link, and a snarl of anger could be heard.

"Just stay out of my way!"
 
Stephen smirked as Zeria began to banter him over the com, before she shut it off, "Your right Blitz, i don't know how your pilot works, but you on the other hand i have studied" Stephen muttered to himself as he saw the blitz connect it's three Darts into the spear "Should have used the Mirage colloid" he then added, he moved his beam rifle around his back, and looked directly at the blitz "want a melee fight, who am i to refuse" Stephen announced as the Freedom pulled it's Lancerta Beam saber from it's hip and activating the blade.

"Oh yea, im the best pilot there is" Stephen announced as the Balaena plasma cannon's flipped over his shoulders "Check mate" Stephen announced to himself as he pulled the trigger, the two large beams heading straight for the Blitz arms.
 
Weisly sat on the edge of her seat as the Blitz finally launched. It was starting and the Elroze stood close to the Faith ship as it floated off to the side. The Blitz and Freedom were close and about to fight. Weisly tapped on her netpad while it recorded live footage of the video. Just then a com and video link appeared.

"Don't cry when you lose, Hownam. I've studied your skills, but I doubt you've studied mine. You seem to high in your seat to think about doing that"

"Why is she so determined to win?" Weisly almost whispered as she sat in her seat gazing at the feed before it broke.

Weisly stayed quiet at arms were drawn. The com broke back open only to hear a snarl. "Just stay out of my way!"

"I wonder if she's speaking to me or the Freedom pilot..." Weisly softly spoke. "There was no specification."

Weisly gazed on. It wouldn't make sense it it was directed towards the Freedom, but if the Blitz pilot had spoken to her, she made no sense that Weisly could understand as she had made her intentions clear before. She watched and the Freedom sprung into action. The beams aimed for the Blitz and it looked very tactical of the Freedom to aim for the arms of all places.

"Wow! That's something I would do!" She spoke softly as she gazed upon the battle expressionless.

It was funny. These two spoke of studying each other's piloting but yet she was studying them both. This gave her advantage, but seeing as she was not participating she kept quiet and watched on as her net pad recorded the gundam fight.
 
The very second the Freedom had the saber out, Zeria grinned.

"So you are on your toes. Not bad"

She transferred from the phase shift armor, over to the mirage calloid, her gundam vanishing entirely from radar and eyesight. As the cannons flipped over, Zeria blasted herself out of the way, certain that Hownam had no clue where she was. She darted around, watching the blast miss her by just a scant bit. Zeria sighed with the relief.
-That almost hit me...I need to pay more attention...-

The Blitz, still completely invisible, darted behind the Freedom, and the lancer spear arced to slam into the beam saber and disarm the Freedom of it's close range combat weapon...

"Correction there, Hownam. WERE the best. There's a new person in that seat now"
 
As the blitz vanished stephen smirked, the wings of the Freedom spread, and pushed the freedom forward, stephen had figured that the blitz would try and be sneaky, there was no way a suit like that could compare the Freedom head on.

Once stephen he'd moved far enought forwards, it flipped forward, and stopped mid turn so it was faceing the opposite direction than it was previously, he could see the elroze off to the side, but didn't care bout it, unleashing another burst from the baleana's Stephens experience was showing through.

Opening a channel to the elroze Stephen was smiling, "so, would you rather study your opponant and risk them changing battle tactic or would you preffer to go on instinct.
 
Weisly gasped inside the Elroze cockpit as she watched the battle rage on. Her hands placed gently on her mouth as she watched the live video feed of the Blitz dodging the Freedom's attack.The Blitz by this time had become completely invisible.

"Oh wow! Now that's an evasive move!" Weisly spoke impressed. "I wonder if the Freedom's going to figure out how to fight an invisible opponent..."

She knew this would be difficult, but she also knew that a machine not being seen could definitely be heard or smelled or even felt instead. The Freedom had already taken action by now, flipping onto the other side of wher eit previously stood. It shot out once more and a com link opened in the cockpit. Weisly looked down suprised as the Freedom's pilot voiced in.

"so, would you rather study your opponant and risk them changing battle tactic or would you preffer to go on instinct."

"Well I'm more of an observer myself. Typical battle tactics never change. It's how the pilot applies them and use them for themselves." Weisly responded in her usual soft voice.

"His opponent is invisible. He should be trying to find her instead of talking with me. Is he that confident?" she spoke softly to Elroze off com. During her response Weisly could only hope that the pilotes would pay attention to their own battle and not on her.
 
Zeria swore loudly from inside the cockpit. She was angry that he was trying to make a fool out of her now. She reopened her com link, shouting at him.

"Don't act so smug!"

The split second she saw the balaena cannons starting, she shot out of the way again, this time going down. Already she'd shut down com link again to prevent them from hearing her. Sometimes she spoke out loud about her tactics, and that was the last thing she needed them hearing.

The Blitz darted forward again. This time, however, it targeted the cannons, swinging the lancer spear in an arc from the right side of the Freedom. Zeria was going to get rid of those accursed cannons, no matter what it took, and she sure as hell wasn't going to let him win. There was no way she was going to let him feed his ego by beating her.
 
as Stephen heard Zeria's message he could tell she was getting angry "Thats right rookie play into my hand" Stephen muttered as he opened a com link to the Elroze again "watch this" he muttered as the Baleana's flipped back into position inside his wings, ~i just hope she took the bait~ Stephen thought to himself letting the Freedom Drift back slightly, when he was 'in position' his Xiphias rail cannons flipped into firing position from his Hips, hopeing that Zeria had been trying to disable his Balaena's because if she had the Xiphias' barrels would be right infront of her.

Stephen smiled before pulling the triggers, hoping to hit the blitz hard enough he would damage the Mirage colloid system and be able to see his target.
 
OOC: Sorry. Forgot to tell you I was gonna be gone yesterday. ^^; Had a civil war re-enactment to be in.
IC:

Zeria was indeed very angry. Her jaw was set and she gripped her controls tightly. She even swore again as he manuevered the Freedom out of her way again. But she gasped as she saw his other set of cannons flip into place. She'd completely forgotten about those. She cursed again. She knew there was no way to completely get out of the way of them. So she tried to move away as much as possible, and brought the lancer spear in front of her.

As the the blast from the Freedom's Xiphias cannons slammed into the Blitz, Zeria was wrenched backwards. Her head slammed into the back of her cockpit, then slammed forward into her controls. She heard the crack of her helmet even. She'd thought she was braced well, but it seemed she hadn't been prepared from a blast that strong. Her mind reeled and her vision blurred. She was severely disoriented now, but wasn't going to stop. No. She had to show him just what she was capable of.

The Blitz seemed to flicker into view for a moment, before vanishing again. The system had been hit hard enough to jostle it a bit, but not hard enough to completely take it out. Zeria took up the controls again, completely unaware of the blood trickling down the back of her head. The Blitz, under the cover of the mirage calloid system once more, shot over behind the Freedom again, but this time, she dismantled the lancer spear into the darts it once was. She aimed, and fired them, hoping to take out the Xiphias cannons this time, able to follow his moments if he moved this time while the Blitz fired each of the lancer darts...
 
Stephen smiled as the Blitz Flickered in an out of sight again ~One more like that and it's over~ Stephen thought to himself as he saw the Lancer Darts rushing towards him. the Xiphias cannon's flipped back into place, but weren't saved, the Dart pierced through the body of one of the cannon and left it useless "Bitch" Stephen announced.

as he scanned the horizon he had an idea, the Freedom remained still since the first Dart flipping down his Keyboard he began typing away on it, the screen in front of him flashing away with lines and charts, "thats it" Stephen announced as he started typing harder and faster "I'm so Glad the Corrigan asses can't figure this out" Stephen announced as the Blitz began showing on his Screen "it worked, im a genius" he announced.

Opening a comm channel to the Blitz and Zeria he cleared his face of all emotion "this is your last chance, you don't give up now, this fight is over" Stephen announced before closing the comm channel again.

The Freedom's targeting screen flipped up and locked onto the Blitz with everything the Freedom had. "this one is over kid" Stephen muttered under his breath.
 
After calibrations were finished, she decided to take the Strike out for a run. Ana has simulated runs in conditions involving Asteroids before, flying her way through the Rings of Saturn. But this is essentially a hostile area, and there would not be many allies in the disputed border.

Although however, she was going to stay outside of the vicinity of the belt unless ordered otherwise. Taking nothing more but the suit and a beam rifle, Strike stood on the runway of the Hermippe.

"Anastasia Xylander and Strike, ready for launch."


"Roger Strike, you are cleared for launch."

The Strike activated its boosters and rocketed out of the catapult, flying out into space. She deactivated her boosters and let inertia keep her flying in that direction.
 
"watch this"

Weisly sat on the edge of her seat. He was definitely up to something. Not only did he talk a big game, but the Freedom's pilot was able to back it up. She gasped as the Freedom not only managed to hit the Blitz but also flicker it a while making it visible for only seconds.

As it attacked back Weisly's eyebrows raised as one of the Freedom's cannons were rendered completely useless. Freedom then stood there. The pilot wasn't saying anything to her over Com. It seemed he was planning something.

"Blitz better think of something fast, it's too quiet." she almost whispered in her soft voice "Hiding and striking will only work for a certain amount of time."

She relaxed calmly into the cockpit seat of Elroze, her eyes gently fixed on the screen in fromnt of her. She was waiting to see who would end it once and for all.
 
Zeria swore loudly. She was tired and couldn't understand why she was so dizzy and disoriented. She knew the mirage calloid wouldn't be able to hold much longer. It was flickering every few seconds now. She sighed, switching over to the phase shift armor. The Blitz finally reappeared to all, with one lancer dart left. The Blitz took it in right hand.

Zeria flinched and reached for her controls again, not realizing she had somehow opened the comm channel so that Hownam would see both video as well as hear her. She took up her controls. The Blitz seemed like a beaten terror. But Zeria's expression was serious, though she was breathing heavily. If Hownam looked close enough, he would see a noticeable crack in the front of her helmet too.

"I can't let this get to me...I won't...I promised I would never give up..."

She slammed on the controls and the Blitz rocketed forward.

"I WON'T EVER GIVE UP!"

The Blitz shot towards the Freedom at the fastest it could go, lancer dart raised and ready to stab the Freedom. It got about 5 feet away from the Freedom, before Zeria seemed to stop. She'd let go of her controls. But something was seriously wrong. Blood dripped down the front of her face from somewhere roughly on her forehead. Her eyes had glazed over and she gave a tiny gasp of breath, before she slumped and her head slammed down on the controls. The comm remained open and the Blitz seemed to just stay put, with its pilot unconscious and visible to see to Hownam in the Freedom via the comm link with video...
 
Soma sighed as he watch the two mobile suits battle each other out to find out who's the best pilot.

"You fools..."

He strapped himself up inside Gurren, activated its OS and prepared to launch.
"Hurry up, damn it!"

"All systems green."

"Soma Lamperouge, heading out!"

Gurren revs up its engines and launched all out. He saw Blitz, ready to pierce its opponent while Freedom locks on its target. Soma then realized that there is something wrong with Blitz's pilot.

"Okay, shows over." Soma said through the comm link as he pulls the lance out of Zeria's reach.

"Seriously.. would you rather kill an ally instead of killing an opponent?"

"Save your energy.." Soma said as he stare at Freedom's pilot through the intercomm

Gurren carried Blitz to the nearest hangar. Soma rappels down from his mobile suit.

"This one needs medical attention!"
 
Weisly commed the medics into the hanger as the Gurren had come to the rescue. "She tried to extend her limits. I wonder if she always fights her opponents with the same amount of rage..." she said as she piloted the Rlroze back into the hangar.

"Weisly, Elroze, landing now." She spoke as the cockpit lifted.

She grabbed her net book and climbed out. When she reached the scene medics were already there rushing to the Gurren and Blitz. She stood by the Gurren pilot while the medics tended to the Blitz. Mechanics began to arrive as well, "Do you think she'll be alright?" Weisly blankly asked in wonder.
 
"Do you think she'll be alright?"

"She'll be okay.." Soma whispered as the two pilots stared at Zeria's unconscious body.

"After all, she's a good pilot. She lasted that long against a highly advanced mobile suit like Freedom."

The medics placed Zeria in a stretcher and carried her off to the emergency room.

"Even so.. her emotions are still weak"

Soma quietly spoke as the two pilots watched the medics carry the stretcher.
 
As Ana drifted off into space, she heard a message from the comm link. "Oh, what now?" She said annoyed, before activating the comm link. "Ana, glad to see you're out there."

"Understood captain, what are your orders?"


"Proceed to 704 Interamnia, we need you to investigate the surrounding area for ETG Activity."


"Roger."
Strike's boosters roared back to life, as Ana headed off into the asteroid belt, to investigate said area. If there were any ETG units, she would use her guerrilla-styled tactics to attack and destroy her enemies.
 
Stephen Floated in space for a few minutes after the Gurren had come out and carried the Blitz into the hangar, which was soon followed by the Elroze "she studied my battle tactics, she should have known what she was up against" he muttered to himself before shaking his head.

returning to the Faith, Stephen docked in the Freedom's area and looked down on the scene, with Zeria being seen to by the Medics and the Other two pilots from the Squad watching on. Stephen shook his head and disembarked.

Striding over to the other two pilots he kept his eyes on Zeria "she should have been ready for me, she didn't stop when i warned her, i just hope she is as determined against enemy units" Stephen muttered showing little remorse for what he had done, turning and striding over to the Freedom, he began making the repairs to the Damaged Xiphias cannon.
 
Weisly stood next to Soma. Finally there was a pilot with common sense around here. The other two pilotes seemed to be either too cocky or too angry. "I'm Weisly if you didn't know." She spoke to Soma as the Freedom returned.

She was anxious to have some sort of stand in with one of the pilots. They way she saw it was: if the team didn't get to know one another disorganization would occur in battle. They were all on the same side after all. She thought deeply, gazing at the Elroze from time to time. Sometimes, when she felt that she couldn't fit in, she would daydream about taking the Elroze and drifting far, far away into space where there was only herself and the cold machine to guide her.
 
"I'm Weisly if you didn't know."

"Weisly? THE Weisly Sanagi of the Sanagi family? No wonder she looks a bit familiar. I never thought that a princess like her would be the one piloting the Elroze"

Soma thought as he stared at her long hair and her cute face.

"It's Soma.. pleasure to meet you"

Soma gave a faint smile. He clutched on his helmet and bade good bye.

"See you around... princess"
