[b]Near the Federation Fleet[/b]

Lt. Campbell tried to perform a sneak attack on the Fleet but his inexperienced pilots came a little to close to them and triggered a response. Most of the pilots in the Aspis were rowdy nationalistic kids from Side 3 who believed the Stone was real while most actual Veterans from the wars had their share of fighting for a lost cause. The incompetence of the young pilots showed here as Ensign Yule stepped out of the cover of the astroids into the Fed sensors. Campbell knew a response was immediate as the Clop ship started to come alive with lights and moving.

"Alright men we stay in the astroid field they have to come to us for a fight." Campbell said to his subordinates. 

"Dammit all! I got to close! Forgive me for what I am to do for the Glory of Zeon!!" Ensign Yule said jumping off the building sized astroid in his Zaku F2 and charging straight towards the fleet. The Zaku was an old one from right after the OYW but was now fixed to carry a small beam machine gun oppose to the old Zaku machine gun. None of the suits from the Federation Fleet were out and Yule knew that if he could get close enough that just maybe he could destroy the Clop class.

Just as Ledger and his team were about to leave an alarm went off signaling enemy mobile suits were in the area. Ledger was in shock for a minute hearing those alarms for the first time but quickly returned to reality and along with his team raced back to the [i]Roaring 20s[/i] Salamis ship. While they raced across the ship they saw the mobile suit hangar already mobile suits being readied to defend. Ledger hoped he could make it back in time to join the battle ahead.
