"Commander, something's...wrong in the base," said Aldan. The Command Deck had opened up a channel to Eternal, Shishuku, and Kanita's respective knightmares. Leon only got the audio.
Eternal closed his eyes for a moment, opened, and spoke. "Shishuku, Ri, Kanita, and myself will launch. The ships will withdraw, and all personnel enlisted personnel will deploy on the far side from the area. All VSD personnel aside from the stated ones will not deploy. Also, none are to open fire on the EF unless fired upon first." He closed the channel and launched, opening a com-link to Leon. "You have permission to release the limiter. Take out the ones forming the shield then proceed to take out the enemy commander or their air cruiser. Whichever works, just don't kill yourself." He closed the com-link and opened one up to Shishuku and Kanita, both of whom had launched right after him. "Let's go girls."
---
The EF's general communication's channel as instantly filled by a chorus of five voices belonging to the awaited members. "Operation Start!"
"Roger." A barrage of chaff missiles launched from the 'ship' and exploded all over the area in the EF's direction and all the way to half the Black Knight's entire base, completely obscuring radar and vision. "Launching!" The Mark 00 and the Snipelink both launched from their respective catapults and out of the water. The Snipelink took too the air and gain attitude while the Mark 00 sped on from the ground. The 'ship' boosted itself out of the water and took aim at the shield.
Lance immedately took aim, as did the other six knightmares.
"Mk. Gun, Valiant, blast away! Mk. Lance, Black Valkyrie, Mark 00, breakthrough when possible!" The Gunfalken advanced, and took aim with both CAD SR and fired with its long range, hadron piercing shots, aimed at the areas where the shielding knightmares were.
The Mk. Gun, Valiant, and Mk. Lance opened fire with their Hadron Blasters while advancing. The Valiant also fired its Hadron Cannons in tandum with the Snipelink's CAD SR. The Snipelink's CAD SR were aimed at the shielding knightmares as well, and were also in long range mode, thus firing hadron piercing semi-automatic rounds.
---
The Arch Zehpyer and Arkice both drew their VARIS HTs while the Shrike MK II held its arms out. The three opened fired with their Hadron weaponry. The Arch Zeyper and Arkice with their VARIS HTs and the Shrike MK II with its Hadron Cannons and Hadron Blasters, all while the three closed distance. The Nightingale took aim as well.
"Fire!"
Both the Nightingale's Hadron Cannon Array and the Ascendant's pair of Hadron Cannon Arrays opened fire simultaneously on both sides of the shield.

Niiro's eye widened in shock. "Kisama...That was a cheap shot!" I... I can't do anything or risk losing Asura... Might as well play along.. "You... you want something don't you.... Leave Asura out of this...."
Idrial had been shocked into silence. "Niiro... Niiro we have to.."
"I know Idrial... I know... I'll try my best..." Niiro sighed, wincing at the still present painful feeling.

Panic wasn't phased by the onslaught. In fact he was prepared for this scenario. He snapped his fingers. "Uncloak the Icor!" he commanded ordering excess Black Knights to Jericos to make a smaller shield inside the one being attacked with Rephilim in the gap and Liliths behind the second one. The Icor came from behind the EF and Britannian forces. Special cloaking Jerico's flooded back in while already replaced by the regular ones. The Icor, substantially larger than the Damnation, flanked the airships and Knightmares of the two enemy forces. Another snap. "FIRE!" Panic said as the hadron blast tore through for the Nightingale. They aimed at an upwards angle as they were cloaked almost slanted at ground level as to avoid aiming at their own shield. Rephilim flooded out with Lilith cover fire engaging whatever unfriendly they came in contact with at the Black Knight's base.

Panic turned back to Niiro. "Why yes I do. Fight. They are breaking through. I need this shield. Ill discuss more stipulations later. Ill still have Asura than too so I think you wise to listen then as well." He said with a grin. Too easy.

"Go ahead Niiro... I don't think we have a choice though..." Idrial sighed.
Niiro nodded. "Fine... but just so you know... I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up... You nearly killed me earlier..." Niiro turned away and head back out, launching herself into the air and activating her float unit, passing through the inner shield. She moved to the spot where the Arkic and Ark Zephyer were attacking the shield and passed through, keeping her Geass activated so she wasn't damaged by the Hadron Canons. She moved out of the blast before zooming at the two Knightmares.

The Nightingale picked up attildue while also shifting towards the right, bringing it out of most of the firing range, but the aft shields took a bit of a beating.
The Ascendant took the opportunity to trace the Hadron blast to pinpoint the Icor's location, opening fire with one of its two Hadron Cannon Arrays which had been recharged.
"Geass user, Doll, Orders to capture," reported Latune. She noted the attack directed at the Nightingale and the following counter attack from the EF 'ship'. "Seems to be a....phasing effect?"
"Time it!" Eternal switched his target to Niiro and opened fire while keeping his distance.
"Ok," replied Shishuku, timing her shots to connect after Eternal's shot and before his next. She also fired a missile barrage, delaying half the missiles intentionally.
---
The EF forces were still well within the cover of their chaff smoke. The newly arrived knightmares were standardly built to make full use of it, while the Snipelink and the Mark 00 had been slightly tuned during their short break to function properly in it. Esther smiled at the reaction of the Ascendant, particular for its rapid fast reaction. The Mark 00 moved for the Icor. Evading detection to that degree? This will make it fun for her then.
"Mk. Gun, Mk. Lance, pair. Valiant, Valkyrie, pair. Snipelink, pair." The Gunfalken took aim at the Rephilim and Lilith, picking the same targets as the Snipelink, both utilizing their CAD SR in tandem.
The Mk. Gun and Mk. Lance picked out a Rephilim and began their assault. The Mk. Gun fired with both CAD SR in sniping fashion while the Mk. Lance threw two raptor daggers, drew it's Drill Lance and closed for melee combat inside the chaff cover.
The Valiant drew its naginata, the Valiant Lance, while the Black Valkyrie drew its Harbinger Halberd, both striking from two different angles in combination of perfected unison, a experience shaped maneuver.
---
The Shrike Mk II took aim and fired a spread missile barrage before firing its Hadron Cannons in tandem with its Hadron Blasters. Mindless pests. She had noticed the Black Knight members acting rather off, which wasn't something that only she had noticed.
Eternal opened his short distance communications to speak to Niiro and Idrial. "Let me guess, he's pulling your strings."

"Afraid so... It still would have turned out this way if he hadn't interfered... We still would have ended up fighting... just... I would probably be enjoying it rather then having such a grim expression on my face.." Niiro unsheathed her Duel swords before diving to the side and phasing to avoid their attacks. "I assume you knew that wouldn't work...?" Niiro sped up, getting closer To the Arkice and the Ark Zephyer. "You two work nicely together though.. Fairly interesting.."

So she's weakened. "If he wins, you lose altogether. On the other hand. If I'm right, your friend is a spy in our ranks," replied Eternal. He fired twice more, as did Shishuku in turn. Doesn't matter if its true or not... "In that case, it would be to your benefit if you assist us."

Niiro ducked and rolled before continuing, slower though. "Really... and what would 'assisting you' entail...? Though Panic is taking cheap shots... he didn't murder my parent's in an execution line... did he?" Asura.... I... I don't know what's the best way to help you...!
"Niiro... don't bother digging into old wounds...." Idrial said, her voice somewhat hurt.

"I understand, but allowing that to get the better of you will be your death," replied Eternal calmly. He fired another shot, as did Shishuku. "What's more important? A living comrade or the deceased?"

Niiro stopped, phasing before she got hit. ".... Your right... for the time being... my comrade does come before my vengeance... If we're going to get anything done... we'll have to do it before Panic notices...." Niiro sighed, sheathing her swords. "What exactly did you have in mind...? I actually don't have a lot of time left before I'll have to exit my Knightmare as well..."

Leon smiled wildly as he made his way to the battle "You hear that Phantom, we have permission to break our limiter." he checked the compartment built in his arm rest to make sure he had enough neutralizers "Which means we can't let Eternal down!" as soon as he got in range of the base he activaed his geass, only with out the limiter. As soon as he did pain shook through his body, he set a watch alarm to go off at seven minutes. His body turned an inky black as The Phantom was encased in a Dark shadowy black aura. With this I don't need shadows he thought as he unsheathed his MVS and Teleported to the first KMF that was keeping up the shield and cut it cleanly down the middle. He did the same to the next, before another shock wave of pain ravaged his body forcing him to pause.
-------------------------------
Asura heard the fighting outside the ship What the hell is going on out there? he heard a loud explosion Was that a Hadron Blast? what the hell? after listening for a while he lost interest and closer his eyes and began to think of his own way out......He wants me alive does he? he thought as the water stung his eyes Well lets see what they'll do if I enter a state of shock....or should I say Hysteria. He paused for a moment but decided it was the only way to get out of this liquid...maybe. He closed his eyes, and activated his geass. He began thrashing uncontrollably in the liquid, he let out a scream but it was muffled in the liquid. He saw everything in his worst nightmares.....and more.

Raven watched as the girl ran off. "Hey!" she yelled. "I thought you were going to... ah... useless...." The Camellia started towards the shields. "Nothing ever comes to plan..." she mumbled changing gears to contact Shido.
"My lord...." she softly sighed. "The base is in terrible shape. The pawns are not doing their jobs."
Shido was busy analyzing when Raven popped in. "Got it. I got some information on our Spearmint. He just deployed the Mentha."
Raven heard what he said about Mentha. "I thought you said that it was damaged. Katsuo isn't in danger?" she asked as she got confused.
"I'm sorry about that. I deeply lied to you. I've never seen you so lively to go somewhere." he replied with an apologetic smile. "Anyway, yes Katsuo is deployed. Just act as normal. He will pop in soon."
"Alright then. What do you want me to do about these.... insects swarming the premises. They seem to really like that shield." she mentioned. "I was getting some help til she ran away trying to save those worthless pawns who can't even take care of their own loyalty."
"Again, just wait up. Don't make any big moves within the base until Mentha is near. I will send your information to him. Make sure to protect yourself against that opposing force." he demanded.
"Yes, my lord!" she saluted as she closed the com link.
Shido sat back, trying to think of a convincing plan. "Hmm... so other officers are being converted to the other side, ne? Interesting."
...........................
The Mentha explored the halls freely as a stupid smile grew on the red haired pilot. "This is crazy!" he whistled looking around. "Damn... never thought it'd be this chaotic. Wonder if the Camellia made an appearance yet."

"Simple, play dead. The chances of killing your comrade drops because his value as a hostage is gone, and being an ally is higher," replied Eternal. "If he has you in his grasp as well, he can play the both of you against each other to gain you both as his disposable pawns."
"Onee-chan, please assist the Shrike," informed Latune. She understood what Eternal was going for and minimizing time wasted was a important factor. She opened the side compartment and dumped out all the stuff in the case back into the side compartment.
"Right." Shishuku went to assist Kanita and her Shrike Mk II. She opened fire on the same targets as Kanita, using both her VARIS HTs and a spread missile barrage.

Panic laughed dramatically. Oh of course they keep trying and trying. "My lord. There's a problem in the perflourodecalin chambers. The prisoner is... going insane." the Black Knight officer he said not quite sure how to break the news. Panic's face lit up. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!" he roared in triumph. "My lord? What are your orders sir?" the officer said confused. Panic looked up thinking. "This is excellent. While Niiro was sure to betray me as soon as a better alternative came along to save her friend, Asura in his present state of mind would have no willpower." "Show him this." he said handing the officer a small black video box. "Once he sees this empty his lungs and take him to me. Understood?" "Yes my lord!" Dread looked at him intrigued. "You are converting the hysteria power to our uses? Wouldn't that be dangerous in case of misfire. You might lose your grasp on him." he pointed out all to validly. "It's none of my concern if he misfires on me. Your power is more
than enough to counter it. Now all we need is to figure out how to get rid of these pesky knightmares. They don't seem to be Britannian from the distance they are keeping of their forces. Tell the Icor to ascend to the Damnation's original height and set up at the mountain top." "Oh and master Panic. Condition 9 is complete."
The Rephilim saw the shots coming. They activated their druid systems to help evade the sure to come onslaught but with zero visibility they couldn't do anything. They left the smoke stood to defend. The Liliths pulled back behind the shields as to avoid losing their edge.
