The Zaku 3 broke off its current path as the other units around it forming a wedge then broke off into 2 groups of three with half keeping the others busy, while the other half moved to support Rosengarten's forces. "Sorry, but I'll be taking on the Ace." Lucius radios in with a confident smile. His Zaku dashes forward to meet the Delta Kai as the extra thrusters built into the suit ignite it's speed as it moved three times faster than the other units as it Zig-zagged as he was reacting to the sounds of the beats in the song. With his suit seemly moving through the battlefield with evading incoming fire` to catch up to the Delta Kai. Attempting to close the gap, his heavily reinforced right hand's pistons roar to life as steam pours out before it gripped onto the handle of the heavy Greatsword on his back before pulling it off for swift overhead chop.
The Bayern also deployed its supply of Dovenwolves as 3 units to arrive from the hanger as are moving into firing range but keeping enough distance from the battle to offer much-needed firing support while having a good chance to evade or pick off any more incoming missiles to help protect the ship.

"Tsk.." Rozengarten chimed as he quickly saw the flash of beam fire coming right at him, his eyes darting to his attacker. Out of all the things he had learned as a mobile suit pilot throughout his years, it was to never fully commit to an attack. So, for what felt like a heart beat he watched that quick agile beam streak towards him. Then, he jerked the control stick and immediately felt the G-Forces pressuring him against the seat. The corners of his vision blurred as he put himsel into a barrel roll, the beam quickly darting right under him. That was close... too close. A moment too late and it would of left him a fine debris field in the void of space. Practically kissing the surface of his mobile suit as he then brought his beam machine gun up to bare on his new target. Quickly he squeezed the trigger letting out a burst of fire, but that Beam Smart gun had left him spooked. A realization hit him though, or rather ran through his mind like a snap. These were not Federation, they said it themselves. They were not a recognized military force."Commodore Rozengarten to Bayern, I want you to increase Minovsky Particle Density." if he did that, then those Beam Smart Guns would be more no useful then a beam cannon, and they would not be able to get a lock with those anti ship missiles. Though it also meant that the Bayern would not be able to lend an effective hand with its big guns either.

Lorena had been keeping the throttle open all the way, accelerating in the Delta Kai waverider form. She managed to fire a couple of beam rifle shots at the approaching Zaku III but began maneuvering away in order to avoid any return fire. She was going so fast the swing missed the Delta Kai entirely as it zoomed past Lucius at an speed approaching the 500 knots. Far too fast for any of his swings to land anywhere near the same post code.
She did not stop nor began turning until she had left Lucius Zaku III behind by a few miles. Only then using the vernier to initiated a turn while also using a little AMBAC to roll in position that much faster.
---
It would take no less than a full hour for the Bayern to spread Minovsky particles at full effectiveness. This hadnt been attempted after the end of the one year war. Even with its massive power plant this was going to take some time.
The Gustav armor absorbed the initial burst of fire thanks to its modern and rather thick frontal armor. It kept it suppressed however, keeping it from returning fire.

Lucius mutters a curse under his breath, his Suit was fast but her suit carried more speed while in the shape of a plane. He managed to evade the incoming strikes evading them with a swift reflects and sleight of hand motions to evade as he begins to quietly think. "Tsk! Her Plane form boosts her speed like the Zeta use to? In the case, I'll have to time my strikes accordingly and think of a way to slow her down." His strong Zaku 3 scabbard's it's mighty greatsword as it was too slow to hit. Instead changing his tactics on the fly, he began to fire the built-in beam cannon from its right waist while gripping its beam rifle with his free hand.
As the red streak of the Zaku 3's engines ignites to life, they begin to rise as the enhanced thrusters began to go faster attempting to match her speed, moving up to higher speeds up to 300 knots per second. As the G's pressed Lucius back in his seat, he seemed focused on the battle.
Meanwhile, the Dovenwolves begin to open fire with their heavy stream of cannons using high-calibre beam shots to pound away at the Gastav's armor while the remaining frontal assault of the other forces with the group of three of his Geara Doga rush into protect Rozengarten's back using their heavier shields to act as a defensive wall from incoming fire.

Rozengarten smirked, keeping the fire up in controlled bursts so he could keep his fire on the target. The armor of that heavy mobile suit was protecting it, but his suppressing fire kept it from returning fire without risking its less protected components. He kept approaching it, closer and closer and as he did so Rozengarten would reach down, taking his left hand from the beam machine gun and instead of grabbing one of his beam sabers. He was going to try and get in close enough to hit the machine with his beam saber. While his beam machine gun could barely scratch it, the beam saber would be able to slice into it nicely.

Lorena's Delta Kai was struck in its port side wing room head on. Lucius beam had managed to go all the way through, essentially locking the entire wing binder in place thus greatly hampering it's maneuverability. She could still use the verniers on the opposite side of her fuselage to rapidly change course in waverider mode but this would cost more fuel.
Unfazed by the damage she would fire a three round volley of beams, each carefully aimed at the right range once she'd completed that turn. Once more she intended on running past the Zaku III at full speed. In case those three rounds couldn't finish the job she would head straight into the asteroid in order to lure Lucius into a more thoroughly prepared ambush position. She wasn't even going to consider engaging him in close combat.
---
The Gustav Pilot sensed it was in trouble the moment the Admiral Zaku III drew it's beam saber. It would retract it's beam smart gun well aware it was useless in close range and it would bring it's left arm to point at it's direct opponent. Noticing the Geara Dogas it would fire two HE grenades for maximum effect on several targets at once.

Lucius's Zaku 3 jerked managing to evade two of the strikes but the third strike would impact the armour of the right shoulder leaving a scratch along with the heavier armour. His unit slowly slowed down when seeing the Waverider flying through the asteroid field as he lowered his movement speed back down to normal to conserve energy and fuel. "Back to the asteroid..? That's a risky gamble... hehe!" He chuckled before shaking his head. Judging by how fortfited the asteroid was they could have reinforcements inside choosing to not be lured closer to the enemy trap, his suit moved through the battlefield as he re-engages some of the Gustav pilots.
Gripping his beam sabre, he flies past towards one of the ones going after the Admiral as he attempts to blindside the enemy using his boosted speed by directly attempting to slice through the target with a single cleave of his blade by slicing along the belly of it. As his reinforced engines rocked as his suit moves to 250 knots per second as he attempted to rush through the battlefield to get to close-range.

Rozengarten saw the Gustav switch out weapons and knew that it had caught onto his plan. So, quickly as it took aim he pulled up on his stick, applying a little bit of spin. Veneir thrusters shooting off as he felt himself sink into his seat. The corners of his vision darkened, and threatened to take up all he could see. He felt sluggish for a moment as the HE grenades whizzed under him, before then exploding behind and under. His mobile suit shook from the blast, but he pressed on going for a high angle of attack.

The Gustav Karl facing the commodore raised it's arm to attempt to cover from the Zaku III slash. Rozengarten's beam saber sliced through the arm, cutting past the grenade launcher. The now one armed mobile suit was ready to be picked apart in close combat, as it attempted to retrieve it's own beam saber and strike back at the Zaku III with a short stroke.
---
Explosions littered Lucius Zaku III path. Two Gustav Karls were shooting him up using HEFRAG grenades from their launchers, since they had the best chance to score a hit even if the blast didn't land anywhere near directly. The speeding shrapnel was the real killer here, being able to cause all sorts of wide spread damage.
The Gustav Karl he was gunning for never quite remained still. While bulky thy were still more than able to keep up wit ha custom Zaku III, peppering Lucius with Vulcans and drawing beam sabers to attempt to parry his attempt.

Reacting to the beat of the music his mixtape changed to another song as his movements were erratic yet reactive to the beat of the song as he manages to evade. He seemed zoned out as he now focused on onto the battle with a rather frightening laughter was heard from him. His eyes turned scarlet red with a wide smile underneath his blond hair. On react, he attempted to evade the incoming grenade but a force of the blast forced him to move his shield in the path of the blast to shield himself. The jagged blades of the sharp-metal tore through most of the haul of his main arm shield, he pulls the lever on his mobile suit.
As the Stark white mobile suit ignites with flames as the thrusters dance forward in the void of space, as it moves at rapid-speed dashing through the cloud of jagged metal as it gripped its massive great-sword before chopping across attempting to strike out at two of them at once. "There goes that shield.. damn! Alright time to dance boys!" He shouts out loud clearly getting carried away as his bulky armor takes the brunt of the strike as he then uses the anti-beam coating over the sword to slice through the beam saber attempting to cleave through the Gustav Karl with both hands.
---
The heavy Mega-Particle guns on the fired from the Bayern's Main batteries as it fires a series of blasts into space in all directions directly at the enemy units attempting to blow them out of the sky. "Lucius... this is Shay... you got 2 minutes until the Main Cannon is prepared for another volley... hold on till then." He said with a relaxed tone over the PA system directly at the command unit's mobile suit.
(Music changed for 'Mad Dog of Mars' mode!)

The Commodore smirked, pulling back his blade after having cut free the arm of the Gustav Karl."Know that you die by the hand of someone with actual honor! You knave!" he shouted as he began to thrust the beam saber forward. His beam saber drawn back, he hit thrusters and then drove it forward. Aiming for the cockpit he needed to just be a little faster then the Gustav Karl pilot. Just a little bit more speed, just a little faster and this Feddie would become cosmic wind. The world went dark around him, time seemed to slow down as the tip of his blade raced towards his target.

The Gustav Karl facing Lucius was slammed head on by the sword. Thanks to its hefty weight, sturdy construction and resilient armor materials it wasn't cleaved but rather slammed and sent barreling backwards. The concussion from the impact was more than enough to knock the pilot out, effectively yielding this victory to Lucius as the enemy Karl drifted into space inoperable.
---
The remaining units scattered about retreated further back inside the asteroid base. Whether they liked it or not this was now turning into an attrition Siege

Marcus unit slowly regained it's barrings as he finally regained his balance before using a Zeon Radio signal. "This is Marcus, I am order a temperory tacical retreat for now while we take the prisoner into custody. Commodore, you are free to act as you wish but I wish to speak to you later. But now i need to get a shower and learn what I can about this group. I want the suit and the pilot unharmed upon entry... but if it awakens all forces are permitted to fire" His white Zaku 3 slowly puts his sword back onto its sheath on it's back before using both hands to haul the heavy Gustav Karl back to the ship.
He finished before taking a deep sigh, as the remaining elements of his unit slowly rejoin him to recover the mobile suit as they return back to base.

"Hmm, understood." he said as he listed to the side with a burst from directional thrusters."We will have to come back, this attack has confirmed that their position is highly defensible. We didn't bring enough mobile suits for a siege. See back at the ship." The Commodore said before pulling back, dodging returning fire from the Asteroid.

Later that evening ...
Chairwoman Brandt herself sat at her office back at Deimos, awaiting to hear from the unit she'd sent to scout this installation that had seemingly fell in control of hostile forces. Isabel already had plenty of things to worry about including that battle group poking the Martian fortresses perimeter along with that pesky ship captained by that mad woman. It was in her best interest to keep all these hostile forces at bay, hopefully the fleet she'd helped build would prove its worth ensuring their autonomy. Even to this day her shipping lanes which she used to trade with other sides had been maintained which allowed her to replenish their losses with raw materials and equipment needed to keep this war going but those lanes needed to be kept safe.
Patiently she awaited the reports from the Bayern's autonomous MS Corp, leisurely drinking warm hibiscus tea out of a porcelain cup after a refreshing evening shower.
