"Fine but if she causes trouble I'm throwing you underneath the bus faster than you can say 'holy cows birdman'...whatever the heck that even means." Grant said moodily as he turned around and told his men that they should all prepare to take whatever scraps of these god forsaken machines they could back to the Sundown, "Gotcha sir! Good shooting out there by the way!" said one of Grant's men whom was joined in by the various members of Beta whom cheerfully contemplated their own ego's while searching over the wreckage of these VIRGO lll's. Puru on the other hand was not very happy at all, "But-but Mr. Gabriel she destroyed my funnels and she makes me feel weird like she's supposed to be a newtype but isn't!" Puru argued vehemently as the suit landed and stomped on the ground just as moodily. Puru was not happy about what was happening. Then again was she ever in the middle with her feelings? Even on the time they knew her she had been single minded all the way through.

Paul switched out his beam rifle for a beam saber shortly after he shot three more shots at Stella to keep her busy while he re-equipped, he then managed to barely parry a beam shot by Stella using a beam saber and blocked another with his shield. "I need to close the range if I can damage this gundam then I can bring this girl home without harming her...."For god sakes girl try and think why would I be your enemy! We're both in OMNI! This battle is because Zeon was trying to kill us! Whoever this guy is, whatever he has told you it is all lies!" Paul tried to tell her while keeping his anger from the earlier death of one of the Beta members at bay. Casualties were a part of war but that didn't make it any better in Paul's own mind. "My whole live I've lived like this! You are just another target! Those who want to kill me are my enemies! If you aren't my enemy let me kill you!" Stella roared at Paul as she transformed once more and used the rifle on her back to shoot at Paul whom dodged it once more. "This is getting really annoying now...how do I convince a mad woman that I'm not her enemy...but I don't want to kill a fellow OMNI Soldier unless I have to." Paul thought to himself as suddenly Paul noticed that he lost a good deal of power on that attack from Angelo. 

"Damn it I need to be careful..." Paul grumbled as suddenly Stella suddenly jumped into the air and shot at him. Raigo was nearly clipped in the head by the shot but it went wide, "She's not to sure herself is she?" Paul thought to himself or maybe he was over thinking things and the shot just went wide however a thankful relief appeared in the form of the FX-550 Skygrasper that flew overheard. Lucky for the Sundown the machine was a prototype with an AI that helped reduced the need for pilots risking their necks to deliver Raigo's Striker Packs. The machine dropped a smoke grenade and set off a round of machine gun fire as it came in. "Hey this is Axer delivering the package switch out from your current one to the new one now!" Axer said as Paul did as Axer said with complaint and quickly switched out the Striker Package Speculum Striker for the Caliburn Striker Pack. As soon as they had gotten done the girl Stella came charging out of the smoke, "Think you can fool me with radar jamming smoke bombs you bastard!?" she demanded of Paul as suddenly it all came to an abrupt halt as Paul used his rocket anchor to pull Stella's legs out from underneath her causing her suit to smash onto the ground violently, Stella tried to recover and transformed into her mobile suit form but that was cut short as Stella's beam rifle was in half by a quickly thrown beam boomerang which cut off the whole hand of Gaia, "What the hell!?" Stella said her eyes wide in fear as she smashed into a hill and her mobile suit shook and she was unable to recover quickly enough as when she got her act together Paul had his beam boomerang back in hand with the beam tip up against the cockpit, "DO YOU GIVE UP NOW!?" Paul shouted in exasperation, 

"I'm not after your life don't you understand!? You'd be dead right now if I wanted you to be dead! This anti ship sword would have been the follow up instead of this boomerang!" Paul said his patience unfortunately giving way, "I...I don't want to die...." Stella said meekly as she noticed that Paul was right, the only reason she was alive right now was simple....he'd let her live, "I'll ask you again do you yield? Please say yes or this fight will end with more blood on my hands...and I have more than enough already...." Paul said heavily as Stella turned her main camera up and was about to confirm it when suddenly she noticed a large beam rifle shot was coming directly at her, "Behind you!" she shouted but she didn't need to shout...Paul sensed it coming....Along with the inevitable shouting of Graham Aker telling him over the com frantically that he was being shot at...Paul desperately wheeled around and considered throwing something at the incoming beam but he knew it wouldn't work...."Son of a bitch! I'm not going to move and leave you to die like this!" Paul said steeling himself as he frantically grabbed at his anti-ship sword hoping that it would be enough to redirect the beam shot into the ground or at least null out the shot.
