Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gavin slowly turned around at Tchai's approach, the slight scowl on his face easing. "At ease," he said with a nod. "I like meeting my soldiers face to face, and I get the feeling I'm going to like you." He walked back to the captain's chair and sat down, talking all the while. "Please, excuse me for a moment.

"Are we cleared for launch?" he barked.

"Yes, sir!" said the communications officer, his hand holding onto his headset.

"Launch, then! I want us at full speed as soon as we're clear!"

"This is the crew of the Dominion. We are launching."

As the landing bay's massive doors opened and the ship lurched forward, Gavin turned back to Tchai. "You're an experienced soldier, I see. You have been briefed on our mission: We support the scouting force in capturing or destroying the Shift prototype. If you haven't already, you might want to review the unit's capabilities; it's supposed to be incomplete, but we have to assume it's at full operating efficiency. Ask one of the tech crew for a copy of the profile, if you want it.

"We've also recieved reports of at least one other GUNDAM-type mobile suit accompanying the EAF ship. Please be aware of that. You are dismissed."



Soon enough, the Dominion had entered the outskirts of the battlefield; the EAF ship loomed in the distance.

"Sir, your orders?"

Gavin smiled. "Open a link to the scouting force and tell 'em we're here. I want all the information they've got on that ship and I want to know exactly what we're up against."

"Sir, the scouting force reports four mobile suits with the EAF--two unidentified models, the Shift, and a new GUNDAM."

"Prep all mobile suits for launch, then, and let them know we've got two GUNDAMs on our hands."

"Now, Kuro, turn cannons 1, 2, and 4 at a 90 degree radius, and fire the Impact Cannons!" Elzam ordered. "Right!" one of the crewmen said, and turned the cannons, and fired at all the enemy mobile suits!

((So far... with all those blasts... all the enemies have taken a total of... 200 some-odd damage...))

((wow 10 people now.))
196/300 100/100

Deane was almost unfased by the head vulcan but everything else had cause a great deal of damage. So deane busted out his phase cannons and blasted away at the gundam.

Ray located the blue gundam that Ratsel was going after so much, and locked on to it with his Claw Beam Canons. His heart raced and pressure built up on him. This wasn't any virtual fighting game he had been used to. It was real life, and he was about to kill a real person. He hesitated for a moment, holding his fire a little longer, but by then a few missiles had approached him, and he was forced to change his angle to somewhat dodge the explosives. He braced himself as he felt the waves of impact, and the Claw Beam Cannon was released unto a meaningless fire towards nothing. "Gah!" The Shift transformed back into Stage 1, and strived to locate the attacker. It was a dark green ship, fast in its appearance, relatively smaller compared to the Kurogane.

<--The scout ship

It fired several more, seeming to have taken the Shift as its target. Fear aroused within him as more and more of it swirled about in Ray's head. He screamed pathetically at the incoming missiles, firing the anti-air machine guns to destroy them. The radio crackled and a transmission was sent from the ship, "So you steal our mobile suit and use it against us, now do you? We'll see about that! Fire!"

'Th-they're trying to kill me! They are actually trying to shoot me down!' The Shift tried to back away, trying to get away from the incoming missiles. His heart pounded faster and harder, almost unbearable as it ached, 'I don't want to die... No...' Then suddenly, time seemed to stop, and an eerie high pitched sound came over his ears. There was utter silence, and Ray watched blankly as the missiles approached him. The slow and deep pounding of his heart broke the silence, getting faster and faster once again, time starting to resume itself. "I can't die! Not now!"

A flash entered in his mind, of the kindly face of a woman in a doctor's suit, and around her, around them, was the familiar white room, with the strange chair and that helmet that looked like Non Reale centered in the room. She spoke to him in her sweet motherly voice, "I want you to live, Jonathan, now go... grab hold of this opportunity I have given you to escape, to experience more of life's wonders..."

'No...' great and terrible pain came over him, covering the throbbing ache in his head.

Her smiling face started to disappear into the shadows, but her strong voice echoed back into him, "I said GO Jonathan!" In a heartbeat Ray was shot back into reality, and his eyes open wide, he began concentrating, the entity of fear within him brought into a controled composure. The Shift transformed into Stage 3, and dashed past the missles that exploded around it. "If that's what you wish, Mrs. Donton, then I'll comply!"

"The Shift's approaching at immense speed sir, and it's firing at us with beam shot rifles!"

"What? Evade!"

But the small ship was hit several times, and the crewmen were blinded by the powerful lights of the explosions. The Shift flew past below them and curved downwards, shifting back into Stage one, and, holding out its cutting blade, threw it straight towards the scouting ship. It slashed dead at its head, cutting right through the captain's seat, and flying through in the other end. Ray's eyes opened wide as he watched the dark green ship stutter with static before finally exploding from its front to its end. He gasped at the sight, and felt tears flowing out of his eyes. He did not understand, 'But they tried to kill me... So why?...'

He sensed a much larger ship up ahead, and spoke into the radio, "Mr. Ratsel! There's a much larger one up ahead! It's a legged ship!" The Shift took out its beam saber, on guard for an attack.

"Who was that woman?" he asked himself, staring blankly into the blackness of space as he strived to remember what he just sawa moment ago, "Mrs Donton? Who is she?"

"Ray! Come back to the Iron 3!..."

"Oh, huh?" Ray shook his head apprehensively as he turned towards where the transmission came from, "What's... where's that?" He asked nervously, not understanding quite well of whatever Ratsel was talking about. Nevertheless, the Shift approached his mobile suit, preparing to go wherever Iron 3 was.
