Lucius smirked when his suit's massive heel was dug deep into the chest of the Delta Kai but then was forced to turn his attention when he saw the reinforcements. "Damn... they are earlier then I expected." He quietly muttered to himself before opening a channel to all of his forces. He thought of the numerous paths to get out of this mess however, the more he thought the more dire his projections were. Still, he was responsible for many lives and he will not give up so easily.
"All forces prepare for a fighting retreat! We'll break the lines we'll return to base with wine and beer for everyone! Our plan is simplistic, the ships for cover fire and while the MS start retreat as they are able to without risking your life. Be careful of those ZZ looking mobile suits and those that are injured or damaged mobile suits should return to the ships! This is the toughest portion of the mission once we get past this! We will have a magnificent achievement!" He cuts off the broadcast as the profoundly damaged Nightengale flies back to the fleet leaving the two pilots to drift in space. His face was steaming with pools of sweat and his breaths were harsh.
He noticed the MP ZZ slowly powering-up with its headlights briefly shining up before the mano-eye turned to his direction. "I advise you both to wait for aid to help you and not follow. I don't wish to destroy you both, this was business, not personal." He regarded the two federation pilots with a short-range message to both the MP ZZ & Delta Kai before flying back to the Regensburg to try to dock with it before being rejoined by two Gera Zulu actively helping the Nightengale steady itself into the hanger. The landing was less of a graceful landing then a near-crash as its knees bucked forward as the mobile suit fell forward upon entry as the energy crew had opened the head and released the cockpit before Lucius had leap out from the hanger as he floats to the walk-way intending to get to the hanger.
---
The small of Musaka-class ship arranged itself in a defense diamond formation using some of their newer Gera Zulu Prototypes leading forces of Dovenwolves & Zaku 3 to act as a strikes forces as extra fire suppression to attempt to draw attention from the ship itself, they begin to charge as one into a single point of the defensive wall taking the attack far from the command ship doing their best to avoid the FAZZ as much as possible by striking at one of their other points instead.
The fleet begun to rain thunderous roar of the cannons echo out in the void of space with the ships briefly bulking at the force of the High-Energy Beam Cannons firing their onslaught while pressed forward.

If Zeon was trying to avoid the six deployed FAZZ, then they were in for a terrible surprise. Under the cover of the deployed Jegans which acted as screens while the ReZels acted as interceptors to stop enemy mobile suits from reaching the FAZZ in two separate layers. This elastic defense meant that if they tried to breach the layer of Rezels they would be immediately reinforced by the Jegans. Not only that, but the mobile suits including the six FA-010A FAZZ arranged themselves to where they had overlapping fields of fire so each one could support the other from a distance.
While the Dovenwolves were busy trying to distract the FAZZ, and being intercepted by Rezels and Jegans the six Fazz would concentrate fire from a distance on the Musaka-class ship. Due to the nature of the weapons they were sporting, the Hyper Mega Cannon they had no problem with bombarding the Musaka-class ship while ignoring the mobile suits that were being engaged by the screening and interception force.
The Hyper Mega Cannon could fire a mega particle beam that rated 79.8 MW which takes only 3 seconds to reach the target. After three seconds the three Fazz are able to confirm a hit or a miss and then immediately fire again for ten times in total. That meant they were able to keep constant pressure on their main target, the ship. However, at any point should they notice the enemy mobile suits were breaking through they could turn their target to the Zeon mobile suits and detroy them in likely one hit. However, even if one Fazz was distracted, the rest could still fire. For close in defense they could saturate the immediate area with a salvo of missiles for bombardment.
With that in mind the Federation defensive line was now elastic with overlapping fields of fire and they could hit the Zeon forces from all angles and support each point in the defensive line. In short, they intended to kill them if they stayed and kill them if they tried to leave. Surely, either would lead causalities, and the longer they stayed the less chance they had of escaping. Even trying to avoid the Fazz was not going to work due to the overlapping fields of fire that supported each point in the line, and the Rezels moving in to reinforce key points via interception.
The Fleet was in for a bad time as it exchanged fire with fast moving and maneuverable Fazz, Jegan, and Rezel units.

Sonia said nothing for a moment but smiled."Perhaps indeed, but I doubt we will see one another again. If we do, then it will be by fate's hand." she said with a pause."I would love such a gift. But your time is very short. I Sonia Lortie if I did not introduce myself earlier." she said as she looked out of the hanger into space seeing a flurry of beam fire outside."It seems things are heating up. If you want to escape, I'd do it now. If you wait to long they will keep pouring mobile suits in here." she said before looking back to Kotch.

On board the General Revil there was a massive contained that took the space of an entire catapult. Form the gigantic metallic box a gigantic humanoid mobile weapon emerged. This was Tezcatlipoca, the guardian of the EFSF Lunar district- a modified Psyco Gundam MK III that was piloted by an entire crew including a newtype that acted as the lynchpin of the fire control system. This massive mobile weapon would remain on standby, running a preliminary check as it prepared to intercept whatever attempted to break through the blockade. It's weaponry was quite enough to devastate a fleet, it seemed the Federation had learned to deploy their own hard hitting mobile weapons to counter Neo Zeons, after all it took a monster to fight another monster. --- " I don't like this at all. I am heading back inside, apparently Kotch's people found a Clop we can use to get out of here. Let's hope they don't vaporize one of their own ships." Fumiko was not in the mood to join the spear head. She knew perfectly well those men Lucius sent to secure their retreat would most likely never come back and she did not wish to share that fate. The Rebawoo would turn around, igniting it's thrusters as it went back inside the dockyard, ready to leave her suit behind if it meant getting out of this smoldering crater. |

Lucius knew the diamond formation would only buy them so time as the ships had finished their transfer of all vital equipment and personal into the main flagship at the center while a skeleton crew were manning the exterior ships but even despite the massive damages to the haul of the Musaka with one of them nearly sliced in half by one of the beams as it explodes the remaining ships were still flying to creak distance covering the rest of the fleet while they attempted to flee using the much larger ships as a makeshift shield to get the smaller ones out of the blockade in time.
He cursed under his breath realizing those FAZZ would be trouble. A nagging pain started to spout out with his body protesting so simply attempting to fly out and cover the fleet was a bad idea, which the spouted a beautiful idea after looking at the star-chart. Tracing his finger along their line, he noticed something odd as a nearby cluster was filled with rubble and asteroids from the One Year War nearby. "This is Lucius to all ships! We'll need to shake them! We'll have to go through the local Asteroid field, the smaller ships can slip through easier than the larger ones and they would have to either use mobiles or medium to smaller ships without risking massage damage by the asteroids themselves." He plotted his course as the machine-guns roar with ammunition and missile fire from all the ships before dived into the asteroid field.
There was a medium risk going through the asteroid but much greater odds of dividing the incoming fleet then simply rushing their lines even if some say flying through the asteroid belt was impossible however their group had been practiced for such an unpredictable area during their salvage missions. It was dangerous course for sure but he'd hope their experience would slow down the enemy forces and their mobile suits. Their goal was easy, slip through the asteroid field then fly past mars then scatter before regrouping at their hidden base after they make it out alive.

"I wish you luck Sonia, you are one of we criminally few who wish to throw off the old mens chains.
May we meet under better skies."
Kotch smiled and broke the wire connection. She then went and entered the colony as she issued an order to the remaining Komusai crews to sabatoge and ditch. They would be meeting up at the Docks with the rest of the force.
---
By now the first team had begun to secure a clop class, it's crew and the attending dockhands finding themselves now being captives. Though new orders were coming down the pipeline as Kotch had entered rhe city, all forces were to abandon whatver vehicles and large equipment they could and make haste to the docks after the spears had been secured.
The first team had managed to break into the Londo Bell fortress after the combined might of Martian might and five mobile suits. The force quickly begining to raid the fortress and taking 3 'Spears' and quite a few trophy's both material and living.
The remaining forces then converged on the docks and boarded the clop class. The ship soon launching after the last martians had boarded it. This left the city filled with IED's, Rigged timed demolition charges, boobytraps and more including the former vehicles the forces had landed with.

As soon as Lucius ordered the retreat, Siefgried quickly pulled back. "Looks like the Federation threw everything they had." he said, dodging a few beams from a nearby Jegan. He remembered that Kotch said something about a Clop they would steal.
Siefgried pulled on the controls, boosting towards the bay. "Sir. May i board the Clop you acquired?" he asked agent Kotch as he came closer to the bay.

The Federation forces with their elastic defense had seemingly forced the Zeon mobile suits and ships to turn away from the overwhelming firepower of the six FA-010A FAZZ which still kept hitting the fleeting Zeon ships from a Distance. At this point after having had their defenses tested by Lucius's attempted breakout they began to harass the ships and mobile suits as they left. Rezels sallying out in squads to harass and strike at the Zeon ships as they pass by towards the asteroid and debris field. Indeed, it seemed the only way out for Zeon was the field.
The surounding Federation forces however seemingly ignored the lone Clop Class. A commander mistaking it for one of their own escaping to join their lines. Regardless, Lucius was seemingly out of the frying pan for the moment. Jegans and Rezels followed them in but stuck to hits and runs. They didn't seem to commit to attacking them oddly. But they kept a close eye on them.
The reason for this soon became apparent, as at the other end of the field a Argama-class the Zaragoza was facing them with some layers of defense having already been prepared. A single MSZ-006C1［Bst］ Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird", 2 RGC-90 Jegan Heavy Equipment Type, 4 RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C (Defenser a-Unit), 1 RGM-89DEW EWAC Jegan, and 4 RGM-89D Jegan D Type. The MSZ-006C1［Bst］ Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" and 2 RGC-90 Jegan Heavy Equipment Type were in the back, and opened fire first. Using a mixture of the Hummingbird's extremely powerful Beam Smart Gun and Beam Cannon fire from the Heavy equipment types they attacked the lead ship. The RGM-89D Jegan D Types would hold the line while the RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C (Defenser a-Unit)s moved up to intercept the Zeon ships and mobile suits. Most worrying of all was the Zaragoza, which had been charging up it's Hyper Mega Particle Cannon. Then, it fired. A massive powerful beam erupting forward igniting the area with light as it streaked forward and hit the lead ship.

"Now then! Lets show them our ace in the hole!" Lucius finally made it to the command deck before barking out a quick order to his command officer. His XO Shay looked nodded looking a pale but still resolved. "Yes sir... gunners fire at the asteroids! Slow them down! The voice of his ship commander pipes up while Lucius goes to float over to his command chair before taking a seat.
The Zeon Ships had stayed the course through the asteroid field weaving and whirling through the sudden changes of the incoming asteroids with the pilots having practiced experience through Lucius various high-risk salvaging missions from the assault one of the ships were lost from their attempt at running the fleet and now the remaining 3 remaining large ships around the flagship kept firing however their firing patterns were targeted at the enemy mobile suit instead at the nearby asteroids. This was oddly not to destroy them, but instead to move them around in wild unpredictable vectors like pool-balls being knocked into various angles by another ball bouncing off ships and rubble and repeating the progress over and over until the asteroid field became a dangerous maze of large flying objects that could easily crush a mobile suit or a small ship if given enough speed.
Lucius knew this was a tactical risk on his end but given, he was in the heart of it but would be a good distraction for the incoming earth forces fleet, one of the guided missiles angled one of the large remaining broadsides of the haul of a Salamis Kai using a series of missile fire in the path of the "Hummingbirds" onslaught using it more a natural shield that quickly started to be torn to pieces by the live ammo fire before he shifted his focus. The ships were nearly out of the asteroid field that's when it happened. All the natural defenses and rubble were vaporized in seconds when a High Mega Particle Cannon flew through the asteroid field. "TURN NOW! BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Lucius shouts holding onto the railing as the command deck after flying out of his chair when the ship without any warning made a emergency the right turn to evade most of the damage. If it wasn't from a quick hard right which bulked the ship itself with minor cosmetic burns and a bulk head glowing bright hot while one of the other ships that was used a makeshift shield earlier had exploded from the sheer force of the blast along with the asteroid field as unbolted down supplies and even a mobile suit knocked over hitting into the hanger floor bellow with a thunderous 'THUD' sound.
"Get some fire support! We are sitting ducks out here!" Lucius calculated the risks careful in his mind but having no choice ordered his teams to quickly launch out using the leftover forces they managed to salvage from the other ships. The massive beam had left them a clear path through most of the asteroid field but he'd have to contend with the fleet quickly moving to action if they didn't move fast. The ships kept racing out of there even deployed a kill-team squads of Dovenwolf Fire teams armed with Heavy Defense Shields and squad of Heavily reinforced Zaku 3 squad weapons team led by a Geara Zulu a Commander unit at the center. LT Drax led the force, a old grizzled mercenary, Lucius figured he's team would be able to handle a few of those flyers. He's a old basterd, one of the few mercenary that worked in the Southwestern Asia Front of the war as hired help for Earth Federation during the war.
The kill-teams begin to take a defensive stance using the damaged haul plating of the ship as brief makeshift cover while firing formation using their beam rifles to fire in formation at the enemy unit using the sub-machine gun to lay down suppressing fire while the Zaku 3 prepared the heavier Lange Bruno Gun Plus shoving ammo shell into it before priming it. The squad were stationary on top of the remaining 2 large ships protecting the flagship using it as a mobile platform they laid down covering fire as the ships move to leave the area.

Zaragoza immediately began recharging it's Hyper Mega Particle Cannon, which would take some time. In the mean time the MSZ-006C1［Bst］ Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" and RGC-90 Jegan Heavy Equipment Type began to open fire at a distance at the kill team that was deployed. Trying to batter away their makeshift shields with heavy beam fire. Meanwhile the Jegans and Rezels moved in to intercept. Te Rezels releasing a storm of micro missiles to completely saturate the area and be an overall hindrance to the advancing and escaping Zeon forces. Though this effort was somewhat alted by the kill teams trying to lay down a suppressing fire, the MSZ-006C1［Bst］ Zeta Plus C1 "Hummingbird" was easily able to dodge from a distance and fire wit it's beam smart gun. It was able to maintain a distance without issue either. As they were dealing with mobile suits from a single ship, they would in theory be able to break through.
They were however under a time limit. As from behind, using the large hole blasted into the asteroid field, some Federation ships were giving chase. With a Fazz and assortment of Rezels and Jegans flooding in to give chase. They had to either escape now, or be trapped between the two forces. Not to mention, that Hyper Mega Particle Cannon would be ready sooner or later.

The dovenwolves carrying the heavy shields large shield the forward into a shield wall to use both the ships haul and reinforced plating to protect themselves against the onslaught as best as they could with bullets and lasers on your bouncing off or digging deep into the armour of the shield.
The barrels of the Bruno Gun Plus after being loaded by the Zaku 3 teams would lean five of those high-powered guns over the tops of the shield wall. With a thunderous "BOOM" noise echos when the teams fired their first volley of Anti-Armor shells directly down the path at both the incoming FAZZ while the others attempted its range to fire directly at the barrel of the Hyper Mega Beam Cannon. The recoil the guns bounced off the top of the shield.
The flagship itself managed to clear the asteroid field with fleet still attempting to flee focusing most it's energy into the engine and letting the kill team distract them. They made a break for it trying to get as much distance as possible while the kill team rode on-top the ships haul.

The charging Zaragoza began to turn as the flag ship and Zeon mobile suits escaped past it. The Humming bird and Jegan Heavy Equipment types aiming for the engines while the Jegans and Rezels intercepted fire from the kill teams. When it was obvious thhey were making a run for it, and getting furter and further away the Zaragoza recalled it's mobile suits as the Zeon flag ship and the rest escaped. They would pursue, intending to chase it to the edge of their range. Federation ships were also going either through the path cleared in the asteroid field or going the long way around. It would seem that the Zeon ships were not out of the woods yet, as the Federation ships were in hot pursuit. However, strangely enough, despite being able to pursue, they soon peeled back. Giving up some of the distance they had closed with the Zeon ships. They still followed, but were keeping a strange distance now. They kept on the long range fire, and were inching farther and farther away. Something was going on, and any new type could feel it.

The Dovenwolf Shieldbearers once they broken through had divided from the Shield wall to individually take as much as the damage as possible even with when the missiles flying past one of their shields and hitting the exposed arm leaving one covered in smoke.
After they broke for the fleet Lucas took a long deep sigh as he rubs the temple his head. Realizing the gravity of what he had done, his hand briefly trembled while rubbing his eyes. "Commander Lucius they are still trying to pursue us but we managed to break for the fleet." His commanding officer said after restricting his urgent need to celebrate to stay professional.
"Get the ship to Echo base then prepare to repair the fleet before we leave the Mars sector after we rendezvous with the Chairwoman and the ground team." His eyes become solemn realizing what he must which was to leave Mars Zeon to the incoming storm that didn't mean he wasn't going to warn them before getting paid.
As the ship was about to depart prickles in the back of his neck as his hair stands up with his power sensing something in the distance. "That's not good... We need to go! On the double! The fleet is too damaged to handle what's coming next..." He remarked as a cold chill runs down his spine as a sickening feeling started to creep back into his mind. After recovering their mobile suits they begun to focus all power into speed create as much distance as possible.

For the time being, Sawyer had been focused on making it back to a hanger of some sort. Carefully balancing the damage mobile suit with careful firing of the verniers so he wouldn't spin out of control.
"God, I had space sometimes. Feel like I might get sick if I do anymore loops." Sawyer grumbled to himself.
He rarely had a chance to look at how the battle had been going on from that point. Guiding himself with what reference material he had left towards the safety of the fleet or colony. His badly damage MP ZZ cutting through as he found himself trying to make a landing on a one legged mobile suit. The mass production model, even though a gundam stumbling over it as he cashed into a safety net of a nearby hanger of a clop class he managed to get to.

 There was a reason why the Federation ships had been backing off. It was for their own safety, and to get out of the danger zone. Little did the two Zeon ships know, their attempt to increase the gap between themselves and the Federation ships had landed them right into a Federation trap. The Gryps colony laser was being fed targeting Data from the Federation fleet and their sensors. All from a distance oh so very far away. Lucius would no doubt feel his hairs raise on the back of his neck. From over the horizon of the Earth the colony laser fired. A massive beam nearly the width of the colony itself thundered forward. A bright spec at a distance, it made it's way towards the two Zeon ships. Growing closer, and closer while being fast the colony laser could no doubt be seen from a distance due to the distances involved. It grew brighter, and brighter. It was heading right for the two ships.
At this point the Federation ships had halted the chase completely, in order to watch the two Zeon ships get fried from a safe distance. |
