[b][h2] [color=fff200]Griff[/color] & [color=f7976a]Seven[/color] [/h2][/b]


To the west Griff was blinking and coming to terms what had just happened. There had been a pair of explosions around him. 

The enemy had been destroyed? His comerade? Both framewerks had been destroyed, leaving only the Angel Zero behind him which he had not even known were there, it had too gotten caught up in the explosions. Griff felt the sweat all over his face and body and he allowed himself a few breaths.

[color=fff200][i]'Atty? Little... bug thing?'[/i][/color] He blinked as he came to the realization the one he had struck had been the Atty and the other one were the Electric Dragonfly.

He tightened his grip on his controls. It wasn't real. Nothing in here was real. He had been caught up in the moment and forgotten. This was all a simulation. None of it had happened. Elora was still okay. All of them were still okay. The blond blew some air through his nose. He had never been in a simulation like this one before, this was unlike the others. It felt more real. Eerily so. With that in mind he gathered his thoughts and moved out, if Elora were still okay, regardless of simulation or not, he was going to get her. Damned be the results.

[color=fff200][b]"Oi! Angel Hero! Zero! Helmet dude! Whatever! I am gonna go get Logic, hold my protein drink and guard Sleepyboy until I come back with victory! ALLRIGHT?! You only need hands and feet to kick ass!"[/b][/color] Griff yelled out to Jake, in a manner which was more stressed and forced out, than the cool speeches he knew some wrestlers would do after their victories over their opponents. He wasn't a leader type, but someone had to be on guard duty, and he was himself way to worked up to be sitting still. He was going to get Elora and then they would win and eat something tasty! Just like the plan. Well. His plan. He felt a sense of worry. What if she wasn't into steak? What if she were vegan? No. That was a matter for later. If that was the case he could probably 'fix' her.

But there were likely incoming from the north. That monster. Movement [color=f7976a][b][T-16] -> [T-17] -> [U-17] -> [U-18][/b][/color] and then finally [color=f7976a][b][U-19][/b][/color]. The Shiva took aim for the Mother Goose with it's [Slag Cannon] and it's [Marker Light]. [color=fff200][b]"Godjira my ass! God damn knockoff!"[/b][/color] He yelled out and moved further east away from Sleepy and the approaching Goose.

He readied his [color=f7976a][b][Marker Light][/b][/color] to take a [color=f7976a][b][Free Reaction Shot][/b][/color] would Goose somehow come to try flank him, his [color=f7976a][b][Trillium blade][/b][/color] and [color=f7976a][b][Multiform Rod: Spear][/b][/color] would try to hit the passing by Argo if such were possible. Piloting the Shiva always felt like a chore, like a challenge, like lifting a ton. A part of him felt like it might be the death of him.

Meanwhile, Jake droned over the line.

[color=f7976a][b]"Cadet Jake here. Orders received Cadet Griff. Be advised: Primary Target Mother Goose but will provide cover fire for Argo."[/b][/color]

It was time to start taking some chances after the losses that just took place. For one, his movement. In general, his overall goal was to get to zone [b]"R16"[/b] to commece a [b]"double attack"[/b] on both the Mother Goose and the Argo if at all possible.

First: Jake launched all of his recon drones and ordered them to follow above him to add to his [b]"awareness"[/b] and maybe in some way his [b]"stealth"[/b] since his Cloaking Wings were down. Then using the [b]"REAP"[/b] system, Angel Zero quickly picked up the Atty's [b]"Plasma Blade"[/b] while tossing aside it's [b]"Laser Blade"[/b]. If he needed a weapon for the Goose's armor, Plasma was better than Laser.

Then, he moved into his assigned zone...and using the [b]"Multiple Fire Control System"[/b], he first fired  [b]"APFSDS-A"[/b] at Argo even if it wasn't within range. But then switched ammo type and then fired [b]"SMOKE"[/b] at the Mother Goose to blind the framewerk.

Griff felt a tinge of pride, he was taking command and showing his potential to be like. What was that short guy's name again on a horse? That great short ancient emperor? The one with the fancy hat. Shit. He couldn't remember. Maybe he had a natural knack for leading people, like funneling all the cool people to listen to him? If there were one cool guy on their team, it had to be the mysterious guy with the helmet right? But then Griff felt conflicted. He didn't want Ritsu or the old geezer to know of his latent commandering skills. That way he would be put into officer training, and that was just a layer lower in hell than being a cadet. Hopefully he was safe and some nerdy looking one would get it instead.

He had a bodybuilding tough guy image to uphold after all. Jake was going to target Goose and Argo as well. Everything was coming up Griffman style.

He had regardless replied back to Jake. [color=fff200][b]"Gotcha Jackie! But don't get too close to big ducky! See that hammer? Don't let it hit ya! Sleepy is counting on ya!"[/b][/color] He said and then switched to Aurora to give a message to her.

[color=fff200][b]"Oi! Foureyes! What are you doing? Helmet-man is moving up to duckhunt! Move your ass! I wanna see Sleepy roast that duck! Qwack! Qwack! I am gonna go get Elora and then I will show you both some tips of how to work that fat off!"[/b][/color] Griff's loud voice yelled into the comms, then gave a wide grin and drew his own arm under his nose.
