[color=lightgray]The intensity in Haley's eyes did not diminish as she awaited an answer from the Captain, Anderson felt that she needed to be in this upcoming fight. It was true that she had spoken out of line but it did not make sense to her to take out two operational TSFs for the sake of one, dead man. She sat there defiantly with her hands tightly gripped around the controls, isolated beads of sweat dripping down the edges of her face.

[color=skyblue]"I happen to be well aware that 'we can't just leave when there is a Fort-class approaching,' but you--and Yu--will be."[/color]

Her brows furrowed together as the corners of her lips tiled downwards, the official tone infuriated her more for some reason. Haley was the most distinguished pilot of her class and she would damned if she would sit on the side-lines for this operation. The young pilot however was not ready for Mina to bring up her brother in all of this.

[color=skyblue]"However, I do not need a child, especially a hotheaded one, on the battlefield with a Fort-Class. You'll be dead before any of us can save you. Tell me, do you wish to die just as your brother did?"

Haley's face was replaced with complete and utter shock at the ice-cold remark that was thrown at her. It wasn't long before that shock turned into absolute resentment and anger as she clenched her teeth with a tight grimace, hands with a death-like grip on her controls. If Captain Mina had said such a thing to her on the ship, she would not have hesitated to punch her square in the face right there [color=royalblue]"Understood."[/color] She spoke harshly, clearly keeping in far more obscene responses. Haley even knew that this was not the place for struggle with command. She hated the order and now really disliked her captain, but the order was final. Mina's remark was not something that she would soon forget.

With bitter hesitation, she lifted the remains of Kasteler in the unarmed left hand of her TSF. The only bright side was now that the laser-class had been mostly dealt with, the flight back home would be rather non-eventful. Her comms opened up to the other pilot [color=royalblue]"Let's get going Yu."[/color] She spoke with bitterness still in her voice. The booster jets powered up as she pressed forward, back to the transport ship with a new darkness in her heart. Haley's desire to prove herself on the battlefield only grew, so much that she failed to notice how her hands shook despite her tight grip. Tanks rolled onto the beaches that only moments ago were crawling with Beta and as she passed them, she could have sworn one of the tank-commanders had waved at her. Before long, She was flying low along the water-line even though the beams of light from the laser-class had been dealt with. All around her were wrecks of TSFs and ships that did not make it through the initial assault, thought it did not hit her that one of those could have been her. Carefully she navigated back to the grey wovlves' designated ship and set her TSF down on the same platform she had taken off of. It did come as a relief that the ship was still mostly intact and with it, their CO Fabel.

Rath had focused himself on maintaining the perimeter but upon hearing the captain's remark, his attention was now grabbed. Captain Mina had certainly not held anything back in her address to Haley, the method was brutal but it seemed to prove effective in getting the rambunctious wolf to heel. There was nothing wrong with fighting with passion he believed but it was important not to let it cloud your judgement. Haley was still green and the mind-set she was in now would put her and the battalion at risk against a perilous foe like a fort-class. As he watched her and Yu fly away through his view-screen, he found himself in complete agreement with Mina's orders to send them back.

His focused back on the task at hand as he flew in formation alongside Mina, his Su-27SM's engines roaring with life as they moved closer to their target destination. Despite the lack of laser-class now, Rath was still un-easy flying at this speed and altitude knowing that the BETA really liked their surprises. Once they arrived, the dire situation of the 154th became very clear to the polish pilot as two TSFs went down in twisted balls of metal. A confident smile overtook him as they made their approach, the captain's words ringing in his ears beautifully as he stared down the monstrous creature. This? This was nothing compared to the laser-fort class that took his family away.

[color=crimson]"Roger!"[/color] He firmly stated at her orders and took his position in the front of the formation along with the other heavy hitters, playing chicken with a BETA that could end your life with one solid hit. The moment he heard Mina's order he pushed his TSF out of the whip's way just enough and used his well-trained reaction speed to force his blade motor into the tenacle as he boosted forward, slicing upwards. He quickly abandoned the action by boosting forward underneath the Fort-class as it reacted to his strike, just in time to see the two officers pull off an incredible manuever using the BETA's own legs. It was something magnificent to behold at the very least.

There was not much time to admire it as he engaged the creature as he pushed the limits of his machine. Rath flew directly underneath the underside of the Fort-class, twisting his TSF until it was upside-down and shoved his blade motor into the flesh as his jet boosters propelled him forward. While his blade tore into the body, he fired the heavier 120mm rounds into the surface and finally disengaged as the ammunition for the 120mm was expended. The Su-27SM fell towards the ground as Rath corrected the orientation of the machine to be level with the ground once more [color=crimson]"Ha! We sting like wasp and strike like dragonfly!"[/color] He exclaimed cheerfully at the their assault falling victim to his native accent for the moment
