Timeskip - Three Hours Later - [i]Sundown[/i]

Jason had called back all of his teams as Hiling Care and Graham returned and the group prepared to move on the enemy stronghold. The base was fairly small and simple. One middle field surrounded on all sides by sand and some rocky hills though they provided little cover. In the middle was some sort of factory sort where apparently the main group was held up at with a big central tank that was probably their center of command. Jason had told who was going with who. Mask and Jack would be together in a group while Paul, Graham, and Stella went and led the attack forces. Hiling Care would provide artillery support in the air with Nena and Puru providing back up and protection to the Sundown. Paul was getting his suit ready once more as he took a look at the helmet he wore closer. He wondered if these bastards wore the same clothes? The black ZAFT produced helmet was claimed as a prize of war during a raid. He always wanted to see the face of a ZAFT pilot who saw an OMNI Pilot in their uniform. Stella came up to him clad in her own purple and black uniform and looked at him. [color=fff200]"Good...good luck out there lieutenant."[/color] she said shyly as Paul smiled and grabbed her by the shoulder as she flinched but Paul chuckled. [color=0054a6]"Don't worry I won't die till I complete my reason for living. And I'll make sure you get out of there alive too Stella. Now where's our adrenaline junkie?"[/color] Paul asked as he turned around to see Graham just coming in. [color=00aeef]"Black Star! Oh and Stella too? Heh let's see how you do out there girl. I'm curious to see your real power."[/color] Graham said to Stella who looked the other way coyly. [color=fff200]"I'm not too good of a fighter."[/color] Stella said quietly as Graham assured her that he was looking for tenacity not so much as skill. [color=00aeef]"One's true worth is shown by how much they're willing to sacrifice to protect those close to them or to show the strength of their conviction. Don't think about it just do it."[/color] Graham said as Stella bit her lower lip unsure about how to respond to Graham's words.
