[color=0072bc]"This is Lyons. Sound off."[/color] Paul called quickly as Raigo was attached with his flier pack to allow him to handle multiple threats in the front at once. His other flight packs were being prepared by Yuri's, much overworked, technicians. He respected them the most out of anyone here. Without them they'd be out of luck and doomed. They kept this ship safe and allowed him and the others to do his job. [color=00aeef]"This is Graham Aker. I'm ready. My flag's systems are all operation."[/color] Graham said calmly for once in his life as he prepared his own machine for combat. [color=fff200]"Stella here. I'm ready for combat operations. I'll follow your lead Lieutenant."[/color] Stella said with a confident tone much different than her usual shyness. It seemed that she was in her battle state. He would be counting on her out there. [color=0072bc]"Stella stay close to me."[/color] Paul stated to her she smiled and nodded toward the camera. [color=f26522]"Wohoo! Let's go kick some butt! Puru puru puru!"[/color] Elpeo Puru shouted into her microphone. They finally managed to get her a flight suit her size thanks to Mariemaia. She looked pumped up despite everything Puru was ready for combat. [color=8dc73f]"Needless to say I am ready and waiting for commands."[/color] Hiling Care said with pure confidence. Of course she would be ready for combat. Paul himself figured this was just another trip down to the candy store for a woman like Care. For all her abilities she was ruthless. [color=82ca9d]"Beta ready for combat."[/color] Beta Leader called out as SIGMA also called out his calling card. [color=00aeef]"Captain! You're ready to launch go!"[/color] Yuri said through his head set as Grant nodded and launched in his machine followed by his own soldiers. Grant and Puru went next the battle had started as the Sundown and it's convoy entered the large urban city and it's white buildings. Almost immediately warning bells and sirens went off stating that there was a counter attack. They had company already.

[color=f26522]"A counter already!? But how!? Were they expecting us or did their scouts see us? Do they have long range radar? Or is the Sundown's size the problem? Whatever the problem is moot all forces man the guns and prepare to fire. Arm the main cannon as well."[/color] Captain Jason said with a flat command as he ended his line of questions. He was a bit frustrated but the combined forces should be more than enough to finish off the enemy forces. However something different occurred. [color=f49ac2]"Sir! Transmission acquired! Enemy is sending us a signal! Orders?"[/color] Baker said in a panic as Williams looked over in a shock. Jason sat there in equal surprise for a moment but only a moment. He didn't understand what the enemy wanted but they were idiots if they were going to demand they leave. [color=f26522]"Put them through."[/color] Jason said as Williams took over for her trainee and prepared to get to work. She took only a moment and then Jason's jaw dropped. [color=ed1c24]"Ho there! This is ZAFT Sergeant Geo-....Captain Jason? It's....it's you? Than that means..."[/color] came the shocked voice of the ZAFT officer as he stared with wide eyes at Jason. Jason himself stared back and blinked. [color=f26522]"George Kyleson....Traitor and gundam pilot....Surrender now."[/color] Jason said firmly as George shook his shock off. His long time captain stood in front of him. And now he was his enemy. [color=ed1c24]"Not going to happen Captain Jason. I'm not going to surrender this city. I was going to ask that you stand down and leave the city. But now that I know it's you and you know it's me that's not going to happen. Sir please let'-"[/color] George started as Jason shook his head. [color=f7941d]"I would. But I'm not the only big cheese here. Please forgive me George but I refuse to talk unless you lay down your arms first."[/color] Jason started flatly as George's eyes shut hard and his hand gripped the seat he was in tightly. [color=ed1c24]"Fine then. Let the best man win then old man."[/color] George said shutting off the communication connection and Jason immediately looked down at James. [color=f7941d]"Not a word of this to Paul. If he found out....then this whole operation would be placed in jeopardy. Let him find out when George appears himself. He won't let his men battle without him."[/color] Jason said as the whole bridge became quite. James replied that he would make sure to do so.
