fight for a future

As they Entered the battlezone ahead of the Archangel, Stephen noticed that the Aegis was alongside the Freedom "Remember what I said. I have no qualms about your revenge, but do not let it interfere with this mission." came over the intercom, and Stephen smirked "as long as you remember the same thing" Stephen announced, hoping that mary wouldn't interfere with his revenge.

as other mobile suits began showing up on the Freedom's radar he opened a com link to the Aeigis "It's game time Promethius" he announced as the Freedom pulled one of it's Lancerta Saber's from it's hip and began cutting it's way through the Zaft forces, he was heading directly for the minerva.
 
Zeria drifted along in the Blitz. She, though, was not on radar, due to that the Mirage Calloid system was on. She watched as the Minerva's pilots, and pilots of the Hunters, showed up. Amongst them, a few she recognized. The Strike Freedom being the one that made her heart ache painfully. She had always used to wave and smile to Hownam when she would come into the Gundam dock, to look over her Blitz. But that was before she had left the Hunters. She wondered if Hownam had watched her leave, because she had rarely ever seen him leave the Strike Freedom. She shook her head, moving in to the battlefield.
~It doesn't matter now. They'll recognize the Blitz, but whether or not they think I'm still piloting it is a different story. I have to do as I was ordered~

She was currently out to try and destroy the Minerva as well. Her captain had ordered it of her, saying it was for the 'greater good'. Not to mention she would be hurting Zaft, the people who had hurt her so greatly.

Zeria was curious to see if she could send Hownam a message still, since her gundam and his had once been able to communicate, and opened her channel enough to send just her voice.

"It's been some time, Hownam. Don't lose your head in this battle, no matter how much you hurt and seek revenge. It won't mean anything if you slaughter, and then regret it later"

At that, she cut off the connection, moving in and going straight for the Minerva, hidden under the Mirage Calloid System's protection as she waited to hear if he would respond...
 
"It's been some time, Hownam. Don't lose your head in this battle, no matter how much you hurt and seek revenge. It won't mean anything if you slaughter, and then regret it later" Stephen heard over his com system, he recognized the voice, "Zeria" he muttered as he continued cutting down foes on the battlefield "but if she is here, then the blitz is to" Stephen continued muttering he checked his scanner's and didn't see the Blitz on radar "shit, she is using the mirrage Colloid system" Stephen added thinking back to their time in the Hunters together.

Opening a voice channel to the Blitz, stephen smiled as he began Speaking "Crimson, this is tribal, i gotta warn you because your using the mirage Colloid system means your probably about to get into trouble, and it's no longer my job description to pull your ass out of trouble" Stephen announced smiling "and as I'm not here to pull you out of trouble, i suggest you leave whatever dumbass mission your currently on and let me handle the Minerva and it's crew" Stephen announced.

Stephen noticed a group of suits comming towards his suit "Bless them" he announced as his targetting orb flipped up, and all the little bleeps began getting circled with red lines, The 8 DRAGOON spikes released from the Freedom's wings and pulled the beam rifles from it's hips and the two Xiphias 3 rail cannon's flipped out from under the hip. all 12 beam weapon's fired at the same time and annihilated the group comming towards the Freedom.
 
OOC: Man, it's been a while since I've seen SEED, can't even pick a good fight song.

"Fine" Mary broke out of formation and proceded to get to work.

Gundam SEED OST-Countdown

Aiming her beam rifle down towards ZAFT forces, Mary fired 3 rounds, each hitting the cockpit of 3 mobile suits, destroying them easily. She said to Stephen, "If you plan on taking on the Minerva, let me cover you." Mary continued sniping targets with her 60mm beam rifle. A few suits managed to close the distance and attack, but Mary, used her shield to block the attacks and countered with a beam saber strike of her own. "So, they came all this way to Alaska to die."
 
As Stephen blasted through the battlefield in the Freedom, Dragoon spikes working overtime clering a path up ahead of the Freedom, all the Freedom needed to do was use it's Forearm mounted Shield generators to block incomming beam attacks. as the freedom got closer and closer to the Minerva, it began firing attacks from it's lohengrin's which the Freedom dodged with ease. "If you plan on taking on the Minerva, let me cover you." making Stephen smile "Thanks Promethius" Stephen announced.


as the freedom grew closer, he saw the catacpault open with the Destiny awaiting Launch "Come get me" Stephen announced. the freedom Destroyed another two Zaft suits. "Come getme Destiny" Stephen announced on a universal channel "Today is the DAY. . . YOU. . . DIE!!!!!!!!!!" Stephen shouted.
 
OOC: Oh good. Couldnt get out with Aegis parked in front

With a final glance around the cockpit and monitors, Riina was happy with everything. With deliberate slowness and grace Riina ran through the last system check when a chilling voice filled her head. Literally.

Enough dallying. I am taking over.

Before she could complain, Riina felt her field of vision shrink to that of a window. Inglesia set Le Cygne onto the catapult and pulled on her helmet.

Inglesia Otori. Blasting off.

The catapult force sent Inglesia's head slightly back, but she was out. No time was wasted as both pistols came off their rack and into Le Cygne's hand. The gundam shot through the frontal small fries and plonked itself into the middle of the fray with Aegis and Strike Freedom. Three resounding shots from both pistols sent three suits to the bottom of the water.

"So, they came all this way to Alaska to die."

Precisely.

Her tone was much different than Riina and much more cold. Following after Aegis, Inglesia directed herself towards Minerva. She did not care for Stephen's revenge. In fact, she commended it as revenge often drove people to the extremes of their skills. If he has a good fight with the other three gundam, then Inglesia just has to ensure no one disturbs them. Pushing Le Cygne through a series of complex weaves and twists to avoid shots fired at her, Inglesia sent her gundam right up to a lieutenant and sent a hand right into the cockpit of the Zaku.

Pitiful....

She muttered as she watched the dead suit tumble downwards before resuming firing on three oncoming suits, most likely the dead Zaku's subordinates
 
As The Destiny Blasted towards the Freedom, Stephen sat in his cockpit smiling he opened a com link to his two Hunter comrades and the Earth forces "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tribal of the Hunters Mercenary group, I must inform you that the Legend Destiny and Impulse are all good mobile suits and should be left to the proffesionals, Namely me" He announced before closing the channel to the Earth forces, but leaving it open with the other two hunter pilots.

"Ladies, if i look like im in trouble, help me out, otherwise leave me to take them down" Stephen announced, by this point the Destiny was close enought for a beam saber slash with it's large Arondight Anti-ship Beam sword, the shield Generator's on the Freeom's forearm activate and were used to block the attack, and it was at this point that the right hand Xiphias Rail-cannon flipped up and shot the Destiny point blank in the Torso, Launching it backwards, the freedom followed up by pulling one of it's Super lancerta beam sabers from it's hip and blasting towards the Destiny.

As the Freedom got close enough to deliver a pritty viscious blow to the Destiny Something twitched inside of Stephen's head, he could sense the pilot of the legend, so he pulled an erradic manouver to avoid the Legend's Dragoon spikes. "Shit" Stephen muttered as he released his own Dragoon spikes to attack the Legend with little effect.

it was now one Ace pilot against two highly trained pilots, the only difference is that the Strike Freedom had been rebuilt stricktly for Stephen's use, so he knew how to pilot it as though he was the actual Gundam. So Stephen was confident in his odds of comming out of the other side of this Skirmish alive.
 
Mary checked her radar and saw several mobile suits coming in to stop the fight between Stephen and the three Gundams. "You're not going to interfere in this fight soldiers!" Mary said as she fired several energy rounds from her 60mm beam sniper rifle. The rounds connected, sending the suits straight into the ocean. In order to prevent any more troopers from entering the fray.

Stephen said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Tribal of the Hunters Mercenary group, I must inform you that the Legend Destiny and Impulse are all good mobile suits and should be left to the proffesionals, Namely me", while Mary responded, "Don't get cocky, Tribal, they're good, trust me."

"Ladies, if i look like im in trouble, help me out, otherwise leave me to take them down"

"Understood. I have an idea on how to keep this fight to you."

Mary took the Aegis straight towards the Minerva, she planned on using her beam rifle to destroy the Minerva's catapults and keep any reinforcements bottled up. However this would put her in range of the Minerva's AA.

Going in, she got her shield ready and her sniper rifle steady. Aiming at the target downrange, she encountered the Minerva's heavy AA fire. Mary evaded the fire with ease, but was unable to make a clear shot. Taking a chance, she fired 2 rounds downrange. One of the rounds missed, hitting the side of the catapult, the second one made its way in to the hanger. It hit one of the mobile suits directly at it's core, destroying it, and causing chaos within the hanger.

Mary finally said as she continued to dodge enemy AA fire, "This is Prometheus, don't expect many more reinforcements from the Minerva. Tribal, Einhorne, what's your status?"
 
As stephen battled against 3 of the best Pilots and mobile suits Zaft had to offer, he was working as hard as he could just to avoid the attacks comming in, and to dish out attacks of his own. he was really in a bit of trouble. so far in the battle he had taken out 1 of Destiny's arms, 1 of Impulse's Legs and he had also destroyed all of the Legend's DRAGOON spikes.

Continueing to work hard, Stephen had began trying harder, pushing his body to the edge of it's limits, then out of knowhere it happened, Stephen felt a sudden rush in his head, almost like a bursting water balloon, his eyes glazed over, and everything became clearer, he began anticipating the incomming attacks, and within a few second's he had realised, he had the Seed ability.

Stephen looked up, and his targetting system flipped up, the freedom pulled it's Beam rifle's from it's hips, and the Xiphias cannon's flipped into firing position from down the side of the freedom's legs. All 12 of the weapons locked onto a different part of the Legend, Destiny and impulse. "Now my revenge is taken" he announced before pulling the trigger and firing a massive volley of Beam rounds.

the Impulse, had the weakest of pilots so that was downed. The Destiny and legend managed to escape fairly unscathed, the Destiny lost a leg, and the legend a shin. The Destiny caught the falling Impulse, and carried it back the the Minerva. Leaving the Freedom and the Legend looking at each other.

"This is Prometheus, don't expect many more reinforcements from the Minerva. Tribal, Einhorne, what's your status?" came through The freedom's communicator causing Stephen to smile "The impulse is down, the Destiny is returning to the Minerva, so all in all" Stephen announced, pausing for a moment "when i have destroyed the Legend I will return to killing Zaku's with your guys" Stephen added "tribal out" he finished before shutting off the com channel.
 
Zeria grinned as she was repositioning herself, unable to not grin at Tribal's comment. She opened her link again, as soon as the battle was over, or so anyone thought anyway.

"You don't have to pull my ass outta trouble. I know what I'm doing now. I have my own vengeances to exact..."

She frowned for a moment, hesitating. Even her voice dropped to an almost sad octave.

"Hownam...how is everyone? Are they doing okay? And how did the captain take it when I left?"

These were things she needed to know. Her heart had wanted to know, and she couldn't bear the thought of being away, if she was needed.

"Do you....do you guys need me anymore?"
 
As the Freedom engaged the only remaining Zaft ace, the Legend, stephen's com beeped to life "Hownam...how is everyone? Are they doing okay? And how did the captain take it when I left?" Stephen's face dropped as he listened, still focused on the fight thought Stephen decapitated the Legend and kicked it towards the ocean, it was cought by a Zaku and carried back to the minerva.

Stephen spun the Freedom and shot down a couple of Zaku's with his beam rifles, "Do you....do you guys need me anymore?" Stephen's eyes began watering as she asked this and he shot down another couple of Zaku's "The team may not need you anymore, but i always have needed you Z" Stephen announced as he unleashed his DRAGOON Spikes to go heavily on the offencive
 
Zeria's eyes began to well with tears from in the Blitz and her voice cracked.

"It hurt, Hownam...loosing Giulio was the hardest thing on me. I couldn't stay in the Hunters while healing...I was too afraid I'd see you hurt too..."

She turned off the Mirage Calloid System, allowing the Blitz to fade back in and show on both radar, as well as be seeable to the naked eye. It looked as perfect as it had when she was in the Hunters.

"I should have told you I was going to leave......I'm so sorry......"

She opened the video communication line to his gundam, letting him see her. She hadn't changed much. Except there was now a deep-hearted pain in her eyes. Zeria was as beautiful and dangerous looking as she had been when Hownam had last seen her.

"Can you ever forgive me?"
 
"It hurt, Hownam...loosing Giulio was the hardest thing on me. I couldn't stay in the Hunters while healing...I was too afraid I'd see you hurt too..." came throught Stephen's com before the blitz appeared on radar, Stephen noticed a couple of Zaku's targeting it so he blew them out of the sky before hovering about a foot away from the Blitz, as though he was throwing himself between the blitz and the enemy forces.

as Stephen floated there with his back to the blitz, he looked at the foes hesitating to attack. Out of knowhere Zeria's face popped up onto one of the Freedom's com tv's. "It hurt, Hownam...loosing Giulio was the hardest thing on me. I couldn't stay in the Hunters while healing...I was too afraid I'd see you hurt too I should have told you I was going to leave......I'm so sorry...... Can you ever forgive me?" Zeria informed Stephen. Stephen looked up into the TV, directly into her eyes, he missed her so much, and he had waited all this time to see her.

"It's not me who you need to ask forgiveness from, it's the rest of the team, i just want you to come home" Stephen informed her before attacking the Zaku's with his high energy beam rifles
 
Zeria frowned, her expression softening more.

"If you want me to come back...I will..."

She gazed at him, her eyes still brimming with tears.

"But only because of you...I don't think anyone else cares if I return..."

Zeria sat up firm in her seat, wiping away tears. She put that determined look back on her face.

"You don't need to protect me anymore...I can fight too!"

She cut the connection, and drew the 3 lancer darts into the spear, striking at the Zaku as well...
 
OOC: I'm getting sick of typing the Beam Sniper Rifle. I'll just call it BSR from now on.

Mary began attacking the Minerva's defensive network, using her 60mm BSR on the battleship's CIWS. Eventually she ran out of charge for her sniper rifle. "Damn!" Mary said before having to find cover and switch out her BSR with a beam saber. Using her speed and agility, she hacked down the Minerva's remaining CIWS weapons systems.

As she was attacking the Minerva, a new suit came on radar at high speed. Turning around to see who it is, it turned out to be the Blitz Gundam. Mary then said, "Zeria Iiaysei? But why is she here?"
 
[FONT=&quot]Inglesia glanced over at the Blitz which had deactivated its mirage colloid. Nothing mattered to her. Had it been the other two, they would have tried to open some form of communication, but this was Inglesia. She did not care. Units were raining down from the sky and the lower gundams from the ground filled the air with fire. By now, any sane pilot stayed a fair distance from Le Cygne. It was a smart move, as the further away they were, the easier it was to dodge the rounds her pistol fired. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]

Hmph. Avoiding me isn't going to save you.

Clipping both guns to her waist again, Inglesia drew out the Heavy Beam Rifle that had been mounted on her waist. In an instant, it belched out a large yellow beam, tearing through a pair of Ginns. The small fry was becoming boring. Inglesia wanted to bag a big prize. She saw Mary beginning to swoop down on the Minerva.

Mary. Let's bag us a ship.

Kicking Le Cygne into high gear, Inglesia shot towards Minerva. By herself, it might have been a bit tough without her 90mm, but with Mary, it should be a good deal easier. The gun let off another three beams before Inglesia began weaving through the AA fire.[/FONT]
 
as Stephen and the Freedom continued to Destroy suits, Stephen noticed that Mary and Inglesia were going after the Minerva that had began retreating he opened a com link to the other suits "guys, let it go for now, our primary objective is to defend the. . ." Midway through Stephen's sentance he noticed that the Gins and Zaku's were retreating.

This mission is over, Zaft is retreating, let them go" Stephen announced as he eyes returned to Normal, and his seed ability had become dormant in his mind again. he glanced around at the other suits from the hunters and then turned to face the Blitz "Lets go home guys" he announced before adding "all of us"
 
"guys, let it go for now, our primary objective is to defend the. . ." Mary responded to Stephen, " Are you sure about this, Tribal?" By then it seemed that the ZAFT forces are already retreating with their tail between their legs. Stephen said, This mission is over, Zaft is retreating, let them go" "Fine...Prometheus, pulling out." Mary said as the Aegis flew back in the direction of their ship. Opening a connection to Zeria, Mary finally said in a relieved tone, "It's good to see you again, Zeria."
 
The Freedom spun around to face in the direction of the Archangel and blasted off towards it. opening a channel to the other hunters Stephen sent out an order "All hunter ships are return to the Archangel immideately" he announced before closing the channel and spinning in the Freedom.

as he approached the Archangel he slowed down and landed in the Main hangar, "first out, first in" he muttered to himself before striding to the Freedom's hangar bay, and 'parking' the Freedom in it's 'slot'. Stephen exited the Freedom and headed to his quaters, to get rest.

Lay on his bed, Stephen began to think about the last time he saw The Blitz, and Zeria. he was stood on the deck of the Archangel on earth, talking about giulio's Deathm Stephen blamed himself because he couldn't save him, Zeria was in tears. Stephen retired to his Quaters to get some rest, and when he awoke the next morning there was a letter for the crew, and the Blitz was gone.
 
Inglesia hovered in one spot, watching the ZAFT army retreat. Her Heavy Beam Rifle could still pick off the stragglers retreating, but Riina was beginning to interfere. Obviously the one without the moral code, Inglesia saw no disgrace in picking off retreating enemies during war.

Tch. How boring...

Performing a 180 turn, Inglesia heeaded back for the mothership, watching Mary and Stephen do the same. By now, Riina had taken back control. She had saw the Blitz and herself and Fabiola really looked forward to seeing Zeria again. However, her suit was nowhere to be seen.

Maybe its in the Archangel already?

Hmmm.... we'll know when we get it...

Smoothly, her Gundam slid into the dock and instantly, right after parking in her "usual spot", an army of engineers stormed the robot. Leaving them to their vices, Riina stepped off and went off to change. She had guessed that the other two had not landed yet, which was odd since they were closer, but whatever. She could change now and be ready for any leisure time that may come.
