Stage 2-A: Opening Moves

Viper three was blindsided by the F91’s beam rifle shot as it slammed into his waist, removing the Hizack’s right leg at the hip. He braced himself in the linear seat as the Mobile Suit fell backwards, burying itself halfway into a building. Three slammed his fist into the control panel.

“Damn you Gundam! Even if I fall, I will still complete my objective. Glory to the Titans!”

The Hizack fired off its remaining three missiles, the pack failing to jettison and instead serving to only tip the embattled MS on to its side from the recoil.

Walter saw his shot connect with the other suit and grinned. He had more than made up for his previous miss. But then it opened up on him and Bifrost immediately went on the defensive, doing his to dodge the missiles sent his way. One of them he neatly evaded.

Stan was badly injured and Blue was on the verge of becoming a scrap heap. He wouldn't stand for being beaten like this and became extremely annoyed. He tightly gripped the controls clenching his teeth and charged at Viper Five with his Beam Saber drawn. "We won't be beaten' so soundly. I'll get you all ya' bastaaaaaards!!" Then something strange happened. The acronym "E.X.A.M." showed up on the screen and a tiny effeminate came from the monitor. "EXAM System." Blue began to move at a lightning fast speed as his eyes glowed a bright red.

EXAM System: You start the match with 0 Stress counters. Each turn whenever EXAM is not activated, decrease any Stress counters you have by 1. When activated, the following effects occur:
Stress + 10: Weapon Damage + 50%, Agi - 50, Enable EXAM Attack, Additional Attack Phase +1.
Whenever you have 19 or more Stress counters and the system is not activated, you automatically forfeit all attack phases. This system also cannot be activated if you have 19 or more Stress counters. Whenever you use EXAM attack, EXAM System automatically deactivates.

In the blink of an eye he went behind the Hizack, slashing clear across it's back.

He then glided towards his next target: the Gaplant. He drew a second Beam Saber and started swinging them madly at the enemy MS, hardly even noticing the amount of Gs putting a major strain on his body and making his injuries worse. "DIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!"

#2 'Special Melee' :

Having successfully dodged all three attacks, Walter was right proud of himself, not that he expected any less. Looking around, he saw the attack against the Gaplant continue. He hoped they did well, but had no illusions of success for these relatively unknown pilots. He could only pray that they succeeded.

Viper five was on his last legs, and he knew it. That old model Gundam was rapidly baring down on him, and with nowhere to go, he raised the Hizack’s remaining arm in defense. The Blue Destiny’s strike hit home, searing off the arm but leaving the battered torso intact. Inside, five yelled into his comm.

“Lt., help me! “

Incoming Attack: 1500
Shield Defense: Attack damage / 2
Final Damage: 750
Remaining HP: 1600/5600

Saito was taken completely by surprise when the Blue Destiny leapt from Viper five’s Hizack towards him. While the pilots’ seemingly unnatural rage led to him missing some of his strikes, those that did connect savaged the Gaplant. When the opposing suit finally backed off there were several deep gouges in the Gaplant’s torso, and the right beam cannon housing was completely gone.

Inside the cockpit, a part of the monitor had broken loose, tearing a gouge across Saito’s leg. Grunting in pain, he glanced back at the damaged Hizack behind him, only to have his attention drawn by a beeping reactor shutdown warning. Sighing, Saito commed Viper five.

“Hey five, get out of here with the evac group while you still can. I'm sorry.”

And with that, Saito slumped into unconciousness, his Mobile Suit falling forward into the dirt.

Remaining HP: 0/9000

Behind his mask, Jason DeSantos grinned. The Titans were down to two badly damaged Mobile Suits, which meant this fight was almost over. Jason focused his attention on the nearer of the two MS, now buried in the rubble of a small building.

“Alright guys, lets finish this off and move on.”

Taking a few powerful strides toward the building in question, the DaiZyuJin let out with a powerful series of kicks towards the surviving Hizack.

'Melee' :

The Dino Megazord’s kicks tore into Viper three’s Hizack, utterly pulverizing the embattled Mobile Suit with its first two. As the building around it caved into dust, Jason swung his massive machine’s foot back for a final kick. When he reached the apex of his swing, Jason yelled out.

“Guess who’s blasting off this time Titan! See Ya!”

The force of the final impact carried the Hizack off into the distance, where it exploded in midair. The Megazord turned its back to the explosion, highlighted by the light it generated. Jason opened his comms to the team.

“Alright guys, keep it up. Only one more to go!”

Incoming Attack: 1800

Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea
September 10, 2013 1348
With the retreat of the final Titans and HRA forces earlier in the day, the 65th Autonomous Squadron had moved to secure the remains of the Milne Bay outpost. Onboard the Conquistador, Jason DeSantos had begun the process of debriefing the pilots.

“Excellent work everyone. The base was captured with no casualties on our team. You should be proud of that. Now, this ship will remain here for the night, and move out towards our next objective. Based on our intelligence, this base in Buna was used for the storage of mothballed Mobile Suits and equipment, so expect a larger number of enemies. Even if their quality isn’t up to those we faced today, they’ll still be dangerous.”

Jason began to pace in front of the map, running his hand over his head as he sighed.

“Unfortunately, we lost two of the ship’s Daughtress pilots during the distraction operation that allowed us to attack the base. This means that we’ll be getting two new pilots as replacements. I expect you to welcome them into the fold, so let’s show our new teammates a welcoming time. Also, if by chance you run into Pressman or Gutierrez, try to show some decorum, they just lost two of their own. Now, if there’s nothing else, you’re free for the moment. Dismissed.”


Meanwhile, a trio of landships from the ZAFT 312th Terrestrial Brigade arrived along the shore. Onboard the lead vessel, a flight officer directed two machines towards the Conquistador, ready for their new assignment.

UNEF STAGE CLEAR!
SKILL POINT ACQUIRED!
