"Are all connections clear for the Sandrock? I'm reading all green on Duel, Raigo, and the other suits over here." called out Engineer Yuri as he worked out the launching sequences sending data on who was launching where. In the other hanger the other suits were preparing to launch themselves. Graham and SIGMA were readying themselves for an all out brutal war and they knew that things were going to be bad for one side or another. Mariemaia's Army was more than likely not going to make this easy for the enemy by any stretch of the imagination. Surrounded...outnumbered...this was going to be something very bloody indeed. Or at the very least that's what Captain Jason Hiyan thought as he stroked back his sleek black hair. "Paul I need you to keep on the offensive as much as possible. But don't take too much time and don't take many hits. I know what're your capable of so try to make Mariemaia take the brunt of this if possible. We don't need to lose more men." commented Jason to Paul over the communications link set up between the two privately. "I've got this don't worry. I'm almost ready to launch just waiting on the others to green up." Paul commented as he prepared Raigo for launch. As usual he was hesitant about using energy before battle. Unlike his comrades he didn't have a battery he could throw away.

Mariemaia's Army had positioned themselves in the cliff face somewhere off to the western entrance to the enemy forces. Witz was chosen to lead the forces into battle despite being inexperienced as a commander which was made up for by the surprisingly helpful Kenta and Mareimaia's veteran officers. Twelve of the Serpent Class Mobile suits and the others they brought along with them. Airmaster sat on top of a cliff overlooking and scanning the enemy base. "Those bastards are ready for an attack..." commented Witz as he took a look at the enemy suits positioned at the gates and the air base hangers where there certainly was enemy MS stored if not soldiers. It looked like it would be one hell of a struggle. "I trust that you will all do as commanded...with or without our new allies we need to move forward and flank the enemy hard. Don't break from the attack just drill right through them. Blunt force combined with speed is essential in this battle." Kenta said as one of Mariemaia's officers named Jacob ordered his Serpent units to prepare to advance as soon as their allies got the signal.
