Friendly Battle Above the water, amidst the crashing waves, and frothing sea foam a violent storm raged. Beneath the surface however, on the ocean�s floor, all was still. There the two mobile suits stood face to face, motionless, as each of their pilots contemplated their coming attacks. Such was the situation being faced by white fang leader Rion Tearlec, and ESA leader Miliardo Peacecraft. And then� simultaneously the two pilots charged one another, beam swords drawn, and then at the last moment before they collided, Rion went into a dive in an attempt to disable the pisces legs, but due to Miliardo�s superior speed, he was able to dodge this attack, and counter it with a strike from his twin claws to Rion�s cancer�s back. Though injured, he was not disabled, and so tried another approach. Rion backed off from his attacker, while at the same time firing his 4 torpedo launchers, these however were easily destroyed by the 12 torpedoes the pisces sent back to meet them. As the remaining torpedoes streaked back towards Rion, he realized that there was no way for him to dodge them, and so it was only his 4 planet defensors, sparked to life at the last moment that saved him from annihilation. With the defensors activated, Miliardo realized that the only option left to him was to defeat Rion in close combat, it was thus that with incredible speed accelerated by the marine fighting skill, he charged forward with twin claws, and beam sword drawn, while Rion charged and fired his beam cannon, disintegrating the pisces arm, but then as if unfazed, miliardo was upon him, and with beam cannon in hand, and no time to re-draw his sword, Rion realized he had lost the battle. Winner: Miliardo Peacecraft Reward: +20 in all stats Loser: Rion Tearlec Reward: +30 in one stat of his choosing

Neutral Job #4 Shenron Maxwell headed toward the usually quiet town of Bridgeport fully expecting town-wide pandemonium due to the recent riots, but instead, he was confronted with naught but an eerie silence. He flew over the town in his Aries, but could find no signs of life. Then, just as he turned to leave, he was knocked from the air by a 105mm rifle fired by one of the Leos that had been hiding in a nearby warehouse. The plummet to the ground damaged his rocket thrusters, and so caused him to lose his advantage of flight. With Shenron stunned from the fall, the Leo had ample time to get to his position and take careful aim with its 105mm rifle. Fearing the worst, he was shocked when the Leo disintegrated in front of him due to the 2 missiles launched into him. Looking up he noticed another Aries flying overhead. �Identify yourself,� said Shenron, suspicious of the other pilot�s motives. �What, no sense of gratitude? I just saved your life!� replied Duo, as he landed in front of Shenron, who had now recovered from his fall. �Well then Duo, consider my debt re-paid!� as he fired his chain gun repeatedly into the Leo, that had set its sights on Duo. The crimson glow from the resulting explosion lit the sky ablaze. And then with no further enemies in sight, the two headed off in separate directions, reflecting on the day�s events. Mission: Completed Duo: Awarded 3000 credits Shenron: Awarded 3000 credits, and salvaged thrusters Damage: Duo-none, Shenron- damaged rocket thrusters

ESA Mission #4 A quiet landscape, just before dusk� nothing moves� thus was the scene in the wilderness, until, what seemed to be the earth itself, quaked, and then the arm of a well concealed Taurus mobile suit sprang forth from the ground, and removed the camouflage nets surrounding the rest of itself. The pilot was a high-ranking Oz operative, who had been spying on the ESA in the guise of a ESA lieutenant. That is, until he was discovered by a mere slip of character. Now, he was on the run and being heavily pursued. >For now, I am safe from those weak fools< he thought, as he headed off towards the Oz outpost. But then, he detected the sounds of approaching Aries, and so was forced to take deep cover in the woods. Feeling sure of his safety, he never noticed the Pisces surface from the pond behind him. Arming his bazooka, Zero Peacecraft fired on the unsuspecting Taurus, completely shattering its right arm, and beam cannon. Outraged by the sudden attack the Taurus turned with his already ready beam rifle, charged and fired it. Only a split second before the hit did Zero�s planet defensor activate, and absorb a portion of the blow. One defensor, however, was not enough and so his legs were shredded from the blast, and knocked him into the pond�s shallows behind him. Taking full advantage of the opportunity, the Taurus raced over to the fallen Pisces, �Did, you really think you could win against a Taurus?!?� he yelled, as he charged his beam rifle � but before he could fire, twelve torpedoes ripped through his torso, and utterly annihilated him. Mission Result: Completed Zero Peacecraft- Awarded 3000 credits, and +50 in skill, and speed Damage Report: Legs destroyed, Armor Weakened Damage Cost: 2000 credits

ESA Mission #1 �Damn, they got here first� said Miliardo Peacecraft when he observed the two Oz Cancers that had discovered the gundam parts before him. �Well, nothing to do now but kill �em� remarked Miliardo as he fired his twelve torpedoes towards the duo. Although one of them was able to escape the torpedoes, the second one wasn�t so lucky, and the sea foam created by its explosion, nearly masked the four returning torpedoes the other cancer fired back at him, masked them so well in fact, that Miliardo was unable to react in time, and so the explosion singed his armor, and destroyed one of his hands and twin claws. �You bastard! and I just had this thing painted too!� said the Lightning Count as he charged at the remaining cancer. With his marine fighting ability, and high speed, dodged the next volley of torpedoes the cancer had fired. And then Miliardo was upon him, and using his other twin claw, he rammed his fist through other mobile suit�s cockpit, killing the pilot. Mission Result: Completed Reward: 1000 credits and gundam parts Damage Report: Destroyed hand & claw, weakened armor Damage Cost: 1000 credits

Friendly Battle Duo enters into the training ground nearby the NSP spaceport. �Come on man, do you think I have all day?� comes a voice from the center of the field. Duo grumbles, �You�re wasting my time, I�ve got better things to do than fight amateur know-it-alls like you. �Quit complaining and step up if you think you�re up for a challenge!� Duo grins slightly as both pilots climb into their waiting mobile suits. Just as eager to do battle, he never turns away from a challenge. �Alright, whenever you�re ready!� Instantly, Kyle races toward Duo with his sword, blazing as it cuts through thin air. �You�ll have to do better than that,� says Duo now standing afar with arms crossed. �Do even know how to use that thing?� Kyle, without stopping to consider these words, charges a second time at Duo, but with his experience combined with the speed of the Aries Duo is too fast for the eager pilot. However, before Duo can comment on this performance, Kyle raises his bazooka and fires a shot that falls just short of Duo�s upper shoulder. �What�s with this kid? He sure has enthusiasm. Alright, no more playing!� Duo streaks across the sky toward Kyle and rams him with the side of his suit, knocking Kyle flat on the ground. Then, he stabs downward with his beam sword in an attempt to demobilize the Leo. Seeing his chance, Kyle rolls to the right to dodge the attack and removes his rifle. Duo brings his sword around at a 90 degree angle and knocks Kyle�s rifle out of his hand and on to the ground. Kyle, weaponless and with no other alternative, grabs Duo in a headlock and tries to force him into the ground. Instantly gunning his jets, Duo forces the Leo back, removes his chain rifle, and fires shot upon shot through the upper left body of Kyle�s suit. Losing power, Kyle falls to the ground, still struggling to move forward. �Why won�t this damn thing move, come on! If I only had a better suit, I�� �Don�t pressure yourself to much, kid. You�ve got guts and that counts for something. Come back when you�re a more formidable pilot. I�ll look forward to your challenge then!� Winner: Duo Maxwell Damage: None Loser: Kyle Schultz Damages: Left torso, armor pierced, power cells damaged

Oz Mission #5 All�s quiet on the front, as Cloud, Darius, and Heero Peacecraft patrol the O.Z. training center for a suspected ESA attack. �This is ridiculous�, shouts Darius finally, as he passes by Cloud. �Do you even think the ESA is going to show?� �I know this is boring, and we are all tired of waiting, but we�re being paid well.� �Ha, I�d rather be kicking some ass on the battlefield than standing around here like a bunch of morons.� �What�s Heero up to?� �Just finishing my route along the south side,� Heero reports from the opposite side of the compound. �If I had to say so, I think we might just finish this job without a fight.� �Whoa, what the�� Heero is surprised by a few shots twenty feet away from him. Before Cloud and Darius can respond to the yell, the two are bombarded by shots from several Leos. �Looks like we got a problem here,� says Cloud. As he immediately returns fire with his beam rifle. Meanwhile, Darius rushes toward two Leos he discovers trying to enter the one of the OZ facilities. �What could these guys be after?� Quickly, he moves behind the two suits and charges. The Leos, completely overtaken by this attack, raise their rifles in an attempt to halt their assailant. Darius buries his sword into the chest of the first suit, developing into a small explosion that repels both Darius and the remaining Leo. Before Darius recovers, a few bullets tear through his left arm. Darius ducks behind a building where he can regain his composure. �Hey, Heero!� �What do you need?� he yells as he impales a Leo with his beam sword. �I need you to inform the guards that ESA has sent an Aries as well. I would myself, but I think my long range communicator is busted�� Darius� words fall short, as he stares into the barrel of a 105mm rifle. He remains motionless and calm, awaiting his fate. �I wouldn�t!� Cloud is standing behind the Leo with a beam rifle to his back. �Do really want to do that? �cause I�d REALLY hate to use this! The Aries overhead fires toward the three, forcing Cloud and Darius to take cover as the Leo retreats into the darkness. �Thanks Cloud, I owe you.� �I guess ESA didn�t get what they wanted, but they�ll be back.� Mission Results: Completed Reward: 3000 credits per pilot, beam rifle Enemy Damage: 4 ESA Leos destroyed; 1 Leo and 1 Aries escaped. Damage Results: Cloud Uninjured Heero-uninjured. Darius- right arm circuitry destroyed and damage to his communications systems

Oz Mission #4 The desert air is humid and dry, and the sand hurls about in an unusually strong wind. Zexx and T.K. stand together just beyond the Maganac camp. �Estimated Maganacs are about 30, but that depends on the accuracy of OZ reports,� says Zexx calmly. �Hey, we can take these guys. I know we can! Have you seen my armament? I�m packing some pretty powerful gear! What�s wrong Zexx? You don�t look so good.� �Sometimes I don�t know why I get myself into these situations. But 15:1 sounds like good odds,� he laughs sarcastically. �I�m looking forward to a good butt kicking!� The two move to the edge of high plateau and gaze into the nearby valley. The barren land is now littered with a hundred small tents and Maganac mobile suits scattered among individual living quarters. Zexx and T.K. want to capture their enemy by surprise, so they wait until nightfall before taking action. As the sky darkens and the lights below diminish, T.K follows Zexx to the edge of the treacherous slope. �I think I have a plan.� The two climb back to the top, distance themselves several hundred feet apart, and take aim. Upon Zexx�s order, the two open fire on the helpless sleeping victims in the camp below. By the time the alarm sounds, dozens of soldiers are already dancing around to the sound of Zexx�s beam rifle and the powerful blasts from T.K.�s bazooka. �Looks like we�ve got �em boys.� Zexx yells from his cockpit. Explosions light up the ground as men�s screams and hollers pierce the night air. To their surprise, the troops did not take long to realize that they were not under a full scale OZ attack, but mere puppets to a couple of less than silent snipers. �Uhh, Zexx�� Zexx is still firing away furiously at a group of baddies dashing about in their sleepwear and undies. �Zexx! I think we�ve got trouble!� Fifteen Maganacs manage to reach the slopes and begin scaling their outpost. Realizing that they would soon be overtaken, Zexx fires rapidly in an attempt to halt their ascent. Several of the Maganacs return fire long enough for the others to reach the top. �Looks like we�ve overstayed our welcome,� Zexx says with a devious smile. �Till next time!� Their enemies pursue but are not fast enough to catch them. A safe distance away, Zexx and T.K. make camp, relaxing in the cool night air under the light of full moon. �Next time I think we should have back up. These two man kamakaze missions are fun, but I think I�ve finally come to my senses.� �Oh it wasn�t that bad, T.K. Do you really want to give those other guys all the fun?� Mission Results: FAILED Damage Report: Enemy: 8 minorly damaged maganacs Oz: None Reward: None

White Fang Mission #1 �We�re on site sir, just give the order,� Says Lieutenant Xeno Ultimatium to White Fang leader Rion Tearlec as they stand in their Aries approximately 200 yards from ESA�s science facility. �Right, proceed as planned, we�ll try to recover any information we can on the mobile suit shielding procedures- and evacuate unnoticed if possible.� Just then, a shot from a maganac�s beam rifle streaks by between the two. �Damn, it�s one of the ESA patrol groups,� says Xeno as he and Rion turn to see a platoon a maganacs taking aim on them. �Return fire!� yells Rion as he fires his beam cannon into a nearby maganac. �right� replies Xeno as he empties a clip from his chain gun into a maganac�s torso. Rion�s beam cannon and missiles obliterate two more mobile suits while Xeno finishes off the last one with his beam saber. �Come on, let�s hurry, they�ve been alerted to our presence,� says Rion. The duo quickly makes their way to the ESA science lab, slips into an unguarded warehouse and stashes their Aries behind one of the numerous stacks of scientific equipment. Moments later, Xeno and Rion slip past the first guard on foot and enter through east entrance of the mobile suit technology and development lab. The layout of the lab is still fresh in Xeno�s memory as he recalls his debriefing of the stolen blueprints hacked from ESA�s poor security systems. Relying on their memories, they follow the corridor 100 feet and come to a fork in the corridor. �What?!?, this isn�t supposed to be here!� says Xeno. �Hmm� Xeno- you take the right passage and I�ll take the left one.� Xeno, following orders, takes the passage until it dead ends and then peers into the entryway of the fourth door on the right. Through the glass he sees researchers working vigorously on computer terminals, bearing many variations of statistical graphs and data on the various projects in the lab. �Great, the only way to the computer data room is through this research lab? How am I going to get past all those researchers, and without a clearance card? The question is�� Just then a researcher walks towards the door, and Xeno moves out of the way. Upon his exit, Xeno slips behind the man, removes a knife from his own belt, and without a thought and barely a sound slits the unsuspecting researcher�s throat. After slipping into the victim�s lab coat and taking the access card from the pocket, he enters the room. �Back already?� one of the others yells as Xeno walks past and into the next room. �What�s with him? One minute he�s rattling his mouth off and the next...� Xeno enters the computer data room and slips a blank disk into the terminal. Moments later he finishes downloading the data, and turns to leave. ::click:: Xeno hears the audible sound of a assault rifle being loaded, followed by a soldier�s voice �What do you think you�re doing?� Although there should have only been only one entrance to the room ESA had met him on all sides with troops. The ESA had fed White Fang incorrect data from the beginning and was thus able to succeed in luring this spy into a trap. �I don�t think so!� Xeno yells as he thrusts his dagger into the first guard, takes his gun and then shoots the remaining two by his side. Charging forward, he knocks down the two entering from the hidden entrance, runs out of the lab, and dives down a disposal shaft on the far wall. Meanwhile Rion, following the left corridor to its end, comes upon an armory. �Not exactly what I was looking for�� As he enters he hears a shout �Hey! This is a restricted area!� Rion breaks into a sprint, and is followed by the sound of gunshots. Turning a corner, he dives behind an ammo crate. When the guard passes by Rion tackles him then breaks his neck and takes his assault rifle. Seeing a cargo elevator he enters it, but before the doors can close he sees three more guards racing towards him. Their shots ricochet off the doors and Rion returns fire but accidentally hits some explosives, causing a massive explosion, and immolates the guards just as the doors close. When the doors open again he finds himself in the warehouse where he and Xeno left their Aries. Sliding down the chute, Xeno finds himself landing outside the compound, where he is met by one of his own, Rion,in an Aries. �Hey Xeno! I send you off to retrieve data, and now I find you joyriding down garbage chutes? � �Ha ha - but at least it wasn�t a total loss!� says Xeno as he produces a shiny disk from the pocket of his coat. Mission Results: COMPLETED Damage Report: White Fang Pilots- None ESA- Extensive Damage to armory, High death count of ESA pilots Reward: 5000 credits, and +100 in all stats for Xeno, and Rion

Duo & Wing vs. Barge Wing stands motionless in space, staring for a moment at the massive battleship, Barge. The rays from the sun reflect off its polished armor and dance across the powerful gundanium metal shoulders and massive upper body of Duo Maxwell�s fancy new mobile suit. �Time to take this baby for a spin,� he smiles resting his hands easily on the controls and contemplating his next move. �Systems alert,� of the Barge soldiers yells. �I�ve spotted an object our radar, and it�s bigger than any mobile suit I�ve ever seen. It�s too small to be another ship, so it must be�a Gundam!� �Impossible! But I�m not taking any chances with this thing. Arm the main cannon and ready the troops.� �You�re not ready for what I�ve got for you!� Duo�s adrenaline increases rapidly as he prepares himself for his biggest challenge yet. �So far, all I�ve had to fight are weak trainees and helpless amateurs. It�s time you feel the wrath of the God of Death.� Wing courses through space toward a swarm of emerging Taurus�s and Space Type Leos. Baring his beam sword, Duo slices through several Leos with one swipe, dodges to the right to avoid a blast from another, and punctures its cockpit. Duo spins around just as another Leo attempts to strike him in the back and decapitates it. Gunning his jets Duo races toward three more mobile suits who are firing rapidly with their beam rifles. Duo shimmies between streaks of light that fill the sky and impales the first Leo and turns 360 degrees while pulling his sword over his head in martial arts display of swordsmanship, cutting with a two handed move through the second Leo. He moves left to dodge another shot from the third�s gun and runs him through. �This thing is fast! Is that all you�ve got�feel my true power!� Duo is confronted by six Taurus�s, each with skilled pilots, packing beam cannons along with their standard beam rifles. The first three attack in a distinct triangular formation, two in the front and one in the rear, while the other three approach Duo from behind. �Time for some heavy artillery,� Duo responds while firing his two machine cannons at the first two Taurus suits. They quickly react by dodging the bullets and flying circles around Duo�s position firing their beam rifles while the second set arm their beam cannons. Duo escapes the first blast as it streaks past him into one of the other suits. Quickly, Duo destroys a second suit with bullets from his machine cannon. Duo�s vulcan bullets make their way to a third Taurus and blasts from his other machine cannon tear off the arm of a fourth. The fourth Taurus fires with his remaining arm, but Duo is too fast and the pilot soon meets his fate as flames invade his cockpit and his suit explodes violently. The remaining pilots try to escape to regroup with another fleet of suits a distance off. Duo charges his buster rifle and focuses on the entire force. �May my hand be steady and my aim true.� Intense energy gathers at the tip of the barrel and envelops into a massive ball that is twice the size of the gun itself. Terrifying, yet beautiful, Wing�s buster rifle releases its fury in a single beam of light that incinerates the retreating force, evaporates the oncoming entourage of Barge�s defenses, and strikes a portion of Barge itself and cripples the massive space fortress. The resulting damage is massive explosions in corridors, living quarters, weapon storage areas, and valuable OZ personnel who meet death himself, not in darkness but in a brilliant flash of hot white light. Damage Results: Barge crippled massive repairs in progress Reward: +25 in all stats

Jesse vs. Cloud Facing one another in a raging blizzard, the pilots Jesse Plunk and Cloud Strife can only make out the other�s silhouette through a blanket of falling snow. Originally desiring to test their skills against one another in a friendly match, differences have brought the pilots to the far ends of the earth to meet as enemies under the battlefield of honor. �Come on Jesse, this is it! I�m not going soft on you, so you�d better hold your own or be crushed.� �Sincerely Cloud, I mean you no real harm because I�m just a peaceful mercenary. But if you must insist on insulting me, I will henceforth battle you to the end if necessary to ensure my safety and prove I am an honorable man.� �Enough talk. Have at you!� Cloud growls as he charges Jesse full force through the blistering cold. With his beam sword he swings several times at Jesse, but he is lucky enough to counter Cloud�s blows with several of his own. Clashing swords a second time, the two pilots grind their teeth and bear down on one another. Jesse, having the advantage of a Maganac, forces Cloud�s Leo back long enough to draw his beam rifle and fire several shots toward his opponent. Cloud dodges the first few, but suffers damage to his lower right torso. �Damn!� Cloud backs off and draws his own beam rifle, returning fire on Jesse. Jesse deflects several shots with his small shield. Cloud returns fire simultaneously with his shoulder cannons, overpowering Jesse, crippling his left arm, and destroying his shield. Jesse glances at his arm to inspect the damage just as the wind picks up, and he loses sight of Cloud. Cloaked by the blizzard, Cloud quickly moves several hundred feet to the left and takes aim with his bazooka. Jesse, unable to see through the weather and unaware of Cloud�s new position, is stunned to hear the explosion from his right and the sound of his suit break as he finds himself falling helplessly to the ground. �What the�?�! His mobile suit is on fire, and he is not sure he can move. �Maybe this is it... A cheap shot if I have anything to say about it.� Cloud stumbles carelessly through the snow without knowing exactly where Jesse has landed. Suddenly, Jesse meets Cloud with the end of his beam saber, disabling his upper right leg and causing the surprised pilot to stumble onto his knees. �That�s right, buddy. Kneel before me as I send you to your doom.� Jesse manages to stand and raises his sword to finish Cloud, but Cloud quickly reacts but putting the end of his barrel into Jesse�s chest. �Move and I will annihilate you!� Jesse hesitates and then surprisingly retaliates, but Cloud is quicker as he pulls the trigger. The sheer force of the point blank gunshot rips through Jesse�s Maganac and nearly obliterates the suit along with bruised Jesse in its smoldering cockpit. Fortunate enough for him, the armor on his suit is very strong and shields Jesse from the near fatal blow. Cloud is knocked backward but gets up to take aim a second time. The blizzard dies down and a distant sun casts a bit of warmth on the frozen ice. He is torn and battered but he retains his composure and devilish grin. �You give up?�because I�d be more than happy to do it again." �I guess I have to�� Jesse says weakly, �but I swear if I had the chance, I would slit your throat and let the dogs lick your blood from the ground!� Winner: Cloud Strife Loser: Jesse Plunk Reward: Cloud +20 all stats, Jesse +30 in one stat of his choosing

Trystan vs. Kenshin - Ambush Kenshin rests the palms of his hands on the controls of the Gundam Heavyarms. �Ready for takeoff,� he jokes to himself. �Not bad for two weeks searching, and it looks like I�ll be one step closer to being like my great ancestor, Anavel Gato. If he could only see me in this thing now.� Kenshin steps down out of the mobile suit and climbs into his awaiting Aries. Contemplating how he is going to move such a suit without proper transport, he is surprised to see another suit off in the distance. �Could that be�oh no! It�s that pesky pilot that has been trailing me.� Coming into range, Trystan spots his target down below from the cockpit of his Aries. �This is not going to be easy, but Gundams are not exactly easy to find these days.� Then to Kenshin, �I�m going to have to take that off your hands, so if you�ll be so kind to get out of my way.� �Never! This is mine, and if it�s a battle you want�� Kenshin rises to the challenge in his own suit. The two pilots battle it out with their beam sabers, neither having the luxury of heavy artillery. Carefully planning each move, the two are closely matched, but Kenshin is more skilled with his weapon. Having trained for hours in front of a portrait of his honorable ancestor and hero with a standard sword, Kenshin finds mobile suit fighting more awkward but not that much different. Parrying each attack carefully, he finally dents Trystan�s suit on the upper left shoulder and slashes his opponent across the entire chest, leaving a scar across the armor. Realizing that close combat might compromise the fight, Trystan puts distance between himself and his opponent. He keeps moving, gunning his jets while looking for an opening for which to charge and deal his opponent some major blow. Below, he sees a winding canyon and takes advantage of the opportunity. �You�re pretty skilled with your sword, but how well do you fly? I opt we take it down there where we can use the rocky walls as a more suitable battleground.� Kenshin, not one to show weakness, accepts the challenge for the honor of the Gato family name. Moving to more difficulty territory, the two battle it out among the jagged cliffs and narrow passages. Trystan races through the area with ease, clashing sabers with Kenshin occasionally but mostly resides at a safe distance. Kenshin, knowing that flight in areas with little air suspension such as tight canyons can send standard planes out of control, realizes that it limits the ability of mobile suits to move consistently. Pausing for a moment, he waits idly for Trystan to circle around behind him and attempt an attack from behind. As he charges, Kenshin remains motionless and open to his opponent�s blade. �Only one chance to do this right. Here�s my great-great-grandfather�s secret move.� Trystan, although confused by his enemy�s behavior, does not alter his attack and races toward the other Aries rear. Seconds before impact, Kenshin decrease altitude in complete vertical decent and allows Trystan to fly past him. Then thrusting upward and forward, Kenshin smashes his suit into Trystan�s rear, causing the stunned pilot to lose his balance in the thin air and enabling Kenshin to force him into the side of the cliff. Losing altitude and severely damaged from the impact, Trystan bounces down the rocky ledges, slowing his decent with quick bursts from his jets but eventually falls victim to the merciless ground below. Kenshin lands beside him to make sure he�s okay. Although Trystan�s Aries is battered and broken, its legs are still functional. �I think you�ll be alright, but it looks like you�ll be walking your way back home.� He laughs. Then gazing up at the sky, �Thanks, great-great-granddad!� Winner: Kenshin Gato Loser: Trystan Maxwell Reward: Kenshin +15 all stats, HEAVYARMS Trystan +15 in all stats Damage: Kenshin- NONE Trystan's Damage: PAID FOR BY MERCENARY GUILD

Cloud, Darius, Heero Peacecraft - OZ mission #4 �Alright guys, the almighty OZ pilot is going to show you how this is really done!� Cloud laughs. �Hopefully we�ll have better luck than Zexx, our fearless leader, and that lunatic, T.K.� Darius says sarcastically.� �All it takes is a little finesse,� Heero says smoothly. �With some strategy, I think we can show these guys how professionals do their jobs.� Since then, Zexx and T.K.�s failure at the last encounter with the Maganacs, OZ has rethought its steps and sent out its best team of specialists whose success at defending the OZ training center has earned them respect and honor among their fellow pilots. Creeping toward the Maganac camp, Cloud makes a motion for Darius to move with him. Heero takes position a good distance away and stands guard with his beam rifle. Cloud and Darius move together because of their advantage in firepower. Opening fire with beam rifles, they make quite a stir among the camp. This time, the Maganac force is prepared as eight mobile suits rush to meet them. �Stand clear!� shouts Cloud. �That was only a warning. OZ decrees that you will move your force out of the desert. This is our territory now. Do not resist or we will open fire.� The Maganac troops continue their approach, so Cloud and Darius collide with them just outside the camp. Cloud disables two with his beam rifle, and Darius hits one in the leg causing it to stumble. Three Maganacs take on Darius with their own weapons, but his carefully placed planet defensors shield him from their onslaught. Valiantly, Cloud runs one through from the backside as it attacks Darius from the side. Now in close combat, the two draw their beam swords together and strike two more down with several blows. Soon, ten more Maganacs come running toward the outnumbered OZ pilots, but Heero is ready. Masked in his cloaking technology, he blasts the unsuspecting invaders with his gun, blowing off arms and legs and causing injuries to torsos and upper body areas. Many of the reinforcements fall victim to his attack and soon the camp believes that a major OZ force must be residing just beyond their view. �Watch out!� Darius yells as a Maganac aims his gun at Cloud. With one swift motion, Darius cuts off the gun arm while Cloud buries his sword into its chest. Explosions ravage the scene as the two take turns slicing up the original eight assailants. The other Maganac pilots are fleeing from the camp except for six brave soldiers that stay behind to counter the invisible assailant. Heero immerges from darkness with a gun in one hand and a beam saber in the other. �Who wants to play?� Heero hits one mobile suit directly in the head, dismembering it completely. Heero quickly dashes in with his beam saber, cutting through the one on his right and ducking a beam quickly before impaling another. Cloud and Darius meet the remaining four from behind and a final showdown of four on three begins. Cloud fires his bazooka once and annihilates one of the Maganacs. �Just evening up the odds!� Darius and Heero are too skilled in close combat and soon the grounded is littered with shards of burnt metal. The final pilot begs for mercy, and Cloud responds, �It is your bravery that has earned you a second life. Go on! Get out of here!� �Looks like we did it,� grins Darius, �with only a few cuts and bruises.� And genuinely smiling for the first time, �Good work, boys.� Mission Result: Success Reward: 5000 credits per pilot +100 in each stat Damage: Heero- right shoulder. Minor damage. Darius- lower left (hip when planet defensors finally failed); right shoulder. Very minor beam rifle damage. Cloud- midsection and entire frontal left side is badly damaged.

Rion, Shenron, Dri Storm; White Fang Mission #2 Nearing the Oz Training Facility, Rion, Shenron, and Dri Storm can see the tops of many small domes while flying in their Aries overhead. �Glad you could join us Dri,� Shenron smiles briskly and then to Rion, �Like Rion couldn�t do this mission alone!� �Hey, let�s just keep ourselves focused on the mission. You and Dri will distract the guards while I circle around and try to find a way into this monstrosity.� Rion diverts from the team and moves around the east side of the compound. �Now where could it�there!� Rion notices an Aries emerge from a sliding glass door in the side of the dome. Sneaking in before the door closes, Rion enters into some kind of docking bay where shipped equipment is dropped before being moved into its designated area. �Great! These recent shipments may tell me something about the weapon that is being built to destroy our recruiting facility... �Hey you there! What do you think you�re doing?� �Come on Shenron, you heard Rion.� �Right! A diversion. But this is not a military facility. Even if they can see us on radar, they aren�t going to be the least bit worried. After all, it�s not like we don�t blend in with all the other Aries roaming the skies.� �How �bout we fight each other. Yeah, create some sort of confusion among the other pilots in this facility by staging something they don�t see everyday.� The two pilots swing at each other wildly with their beam swords swearing and striking one another until finally they are spotted by a small perimeter patrol of 4 Aries and 1 Taurus. �Hey, you two, break it up�Wait! Identify yourself immediately or I�m going to have to shoot!� �Looks like we got their attention alright. Shenron, how do you expect us to beat these guys?� �Don�t talk! Fight!� The two pilots split from several shots fired from one of the anxious guard�s chain rifles. Moving in for a closer attack, Shenron cuts through one of the Aries� armor and sends it spiraling out of control to the ground below. �That was one of my best men,� the soldier in the Taurus yells, as he hits him with his beam rifle in the left side of his chest, seriously wounding him. Dri Storm moves in to help, but he is blasted with a bullets from a chain rifle that dance across the front of his suit. Not as seriously hurt as Shenron, Dri manages to slice off the hand of the suit along with its weapon. Three Aries and a Taurus round up the wounded White Fang pilots and begin to take them back to base. Just then, a beam blast ignites between them all. Looking up, they gaze upon the White Fang Leader as returns from his quest. The three Aries charge Rion, but before they can move a few feet, he annihilates one of the Aries with his beam cannon. [Kaboom] The remaining suits circle Rion, but they are nothing compared to his ability. Activating his zero system, Rion is like a bolt of energy, slashing through one Aries, impaling another and finally clashing swords with the mighty Taurus. �Who is this guy?� The Taurus commander lets loose a fury of devastating blasts from his beam rifle, but Rion�s many planet defensors shield him as he tears through the suit in multiple places. �This can�t be�� Rion finishes the pilot with a final blow that ignites the sky with glowing embers of mobile trash. Back on the ground, Shenron and Dri are amazed to find Rion had gotten back so quickly. �Not a problem, really. One of the docking crew members spotted me in the cargo bay and asked me to give him a hand with some of the satellite parts. Apparently, they were building a satellite cannon to completely obliterate our training facility. All I did was place an explosive behind one of the thermal heating units near the research plant and another carefully hidden in one of the crates, and they are set to go off right about�[An explosion is heard in the distance-first loud, and then a series of smaller explosions as a small area of the Oz Research Facility goes up in flames.] Mission Results: Success Reward: 5000 credits; +75 all stats Damage: Rion-none Shenron-massive upper body damage Dri-major damage to upper body

Merc Mission #2-Midori vs. Miliardo Deathscythe cruises over the last traces of the countryside and into Oz territory. Its pilot, Miliardo Peacecraft is eager to get to the Oz training center as quickly as possible for his spies have already warned him of an ambush by Oz�s rumored special forces. The air is calm and the sun is high in the sky. Miliardo pauses because he thinks he picks up a blip on his radar that fades out. �Nothing much, probably just an error. I haven�t yet mastered all the technicalities of this suit, but I�d rather not have to fight now if I don�t have to. I must concentrate on the mission at hand. If the Oz Training Facility is wrecked, then it cannot accept any recruits for awhile.� Just then, Miliardo picks up the traces of three enemies on his screen. �And by the looks of it, it�s probably a group of Maganacs. Nothing Deathscythe can�t handle.� But before Miliardo can turn to greet his foes, a blast from a beam rifle, nearly strikes him in the back. �What the hell? How do they expect to hit me from back there? And to think they would try to take me down like cowards.� He turns as Cloud and Heero come running up in their mobile suits with weapons drawn and grins on their faces. �We�ve being waiting for this, Miliardo.� Cloud says smiling. �You�re not all what we pictured. But I�m afraid you will have to surrender peacefully or die here today.� �Yeah, I hope he doesn�t because I�m going to have fun kicking the crap out of him,� a voice says from behind them. Darius marches up in his suit with a look of pure hate in his cold, empty eyes. �Miliardo thinks he�s so bold to put a price on our heads. Now he must face some real soldiers and not those scrawny ESA wimps we totaled last month.� Darius moves in close and gazes through his cockpit directly at Deathscythe�s pilot. �I�ve got a little present for you because you are such a good sport.� Darius draws slightly back. Suddenly, he strikes with his beam sword, but Miliardo slides back and blasts it out his hand with his vulcan gun. Darius bounces back, �You bastard! I�m gonna cut your bloody heart out�� Cloud moves in first, firing his beam gun at Miliardo, but he moves quickly and counterattacks with his beam scythe, slicing him across the left arm and inflicting minor damage. Heero attacks from Miliardo�s left with his beam rifle but Miliardo turns and fires both his vulcan guns at his opponent. Heero moves back and away from their harmful effects. The three begin to close in on Miliardo, but his speed is radically advanced, and he counters Cloud�s beam attacks and shoulder cannon blasts, dodges Darius as he makes a near fatal stab toward Miliardo�s head, and finishes by blasting Heero with his machine cannons which are subdued partially by Heero�s only planet defensor. However, the effects are damaging, and as Cloud rushes to his Heero�s assistance, Miliardo swipes his beam scythe across his lower body, sending Cloud sprawling to the ground. Deathscythe�s radar begins to go wild as a fourth pilot immerges from above. Miliardo just misses as several torpedoes detonate on the ground below. �Clever�� Midori finishes his statement, �Girl! Yes, and don�t expect me to go easy on you.� [Miliardo] �I wouldn't hope for any less. But I promise not go easy on you either.� Midori treats battle like an art, and her tactful maneuvers combined with her intelligence make her a worthy, yet deadly adversary. Miliardo advances, but Midori is equally skilled and a very promising fighter. As Miliardo fires with his vulcan cannons, she shimmies between blasts and counters with shots from her beam rifle. Miliardo is required to keep most of his attention on her just to keep up with her variety of maneuvers and sophisticated attacks. The three Oz pilots dash in and begin firing all their weapons at Miliardo. {I admire her skill. She doesn�t fight like any pilot I�ve seen before. Her moves are delicate and precise, yet she is so bold and fearless.} Several of the Oz pilots� shots wiz past Deathscythe, and finally he is hit by an incredible blast from Cloud�s dober gun in his right shoulder. Deathscythe�s systems go wild as Miliardo struggles to regain his balance. Midori backs off and waits while the trio fill the air with shots from beam rifles, shoulder cannons, and a blast from Cloud�s bazooka. Deathscythe, slower because of its recent damage, releases a fury of its own attacks. Heero takes damage by the machine cannons and Cloud is hit in the left torso by one of Miliardo�s vulcan guns. Darius, though shot at multiple times, is regularly saved by his four planet defensors. Miliardo holds his own against Oz�s best soldiers, but he soon faces the consequences of his own folly. He had misjudged the strength of his enemies, as well as Midori�s own abilities. Fearing the worst, Miliardo prepares to battle to the death. Suddenly, a fifth mobile suit appears on his monitor. Miliardo gazes off in the distance. �Whether it is friend or foe, this pilot�s present may determine my fate on the battlefield this day.� [Continued in Part 2]

Midori vs. Miliardo-Part 2 On the horizon emerges a Pisces, moving very quickly toward the pilots on the battlefield. �A Pisces. But typically only ESA pilots use that type of suit. Is it possible�� Miliardo says in amazement. Zero Peacecraft arrives on the scene with his beam saber in hand and looks as if he is prepared to battle. �Hey, Miliardo! Looks like you�ve got your hands full.� �Zero, I�m glad to see you. It�s nice to know that my own pilots are here in my time of need. Let�s get these guys.� �Sorry, but I think a excellent pilot such as yourself should have no problem beating a bunch of scraps such as these. So I think I�ll just even up the odds a bit.� �Impossible! Zero, a traitor. But I considered you to be one of my best soldiers. How dare you? This deceit will not go unnoticed. You will feel my wrath this sorrowful day!� Miliardo meets Zero with his beam sword, and the two begin to battle it out. Miliardo fights very rapidly despite his weakness from the prior match with Oz�s best pilots. Zero is an excellent swords fighter as well, and the two are fairly matched. However, Deathscythe combined with Miliardo�s speed makes him a more than equal adversary, and although he is skilled, Zero begins to feel the overall strength of his leader. �Let�s help him!� shouts Heero. �I think we should.� Cloud agrees. And the two move in to put Miliardo out of his misery. The Oz pilots attack with their beam rifles, while Miliardo dodges and attempts to swipe Zero with his beam sword. Before he can get in close, Darius blasts him mid-center in Deathscythe�s torso, and the fearless leader begins to lose any advantage he had in the fight. Using his dober gun, Miliardo fires into Darius and destroys the remainder of his planet defensors and crippling him as well. Darius falls to the ground and remains out of commission temporarily. Finally, Midori arrives and firing her torpedoes, she takes out Deathscythe�s right arm. Miliardo fires at her, but she quickly dodges his attack and fires with her chain rifle. Miliardo moves and charges forward instantly to meet her with his scythe slashing multiple times until he finally cuts her across her right shoulder, and she retreats momentarily to regain her composure. Finally, Heero, Zero, and Cloud move in close and try to take Miliardo in close battle. Beam swords and sabers blazing, the three on one battle commences. Fighting his hardest, the ESA pilot is nearly overwhelmed with the skill and intelligent tactics of the remaining three pilots. Midori and Darius rejoin the battle by circling around behind Miliardo and aiming their guns at the unsuspecting pilot. Prepared to open fire, they yell to him to surrender. �You are outmatched, Miliardo. Give up now and live.� The fighting stops as the honorable pilot pauses to consider his options. A blast from the sky interrupts the brief moment of quiet. Shining in all of its glory, Gundam Wing arrives with its daring pilot, Duo Maxwell. �So what have we got here? Five to one. Miliardo, please don�t tell me you�re losing to these savages. And Midori, what do you think you�re doing here?� �Forgive me, sir. But I started this fight. After all, you�re the one who always says that no mercenary is too good to refuse a decent wage.� �Don�t worry, Midori! He�s on our side. �Bout time you showed up. I was getting worried you had forgotten about us. Although Miliardo would have fallen, we now have to pay for the damage that fool did to our suits.� �Good work, Midori, you�ve done well.� Duo grins slyly as he gazes over toward the weakened ESA leader. If you guys don�t mind, I�d like to have a little scrimmage one on one with our butchered friend here. Miliardo, the best pilot in the known world. Is that how it goes? Well, I may not be the best, but I consider myself pretty damn good! I know you�re weak, but what do you say?� �Duo, the legendary God of Death. I�ve heard so much about you. I�d be honored.� �Then let it begin!� Wing and Deathscythe, piloted by the worlds� first and best gundam pilots, now meet for the first and perhaps the final time. [Continued in part 3]

Midori vs. Miliardo-Part 3 Posed on the battlefield, Duo Maxwell awaits Miliardo�s first attack. All watch as the two Gundam pilots pause to contemplate the other�s next move. Miliardo rushes toward Duo with Deathscythe and swings violently downward, double-handed with his scythe. Duo catches it with the beam sword in his right hand and swings with his buster shield at Deathscythe�s torso. Miliardo moves his suit backward with a quick movement of his hands. Duo charges and swings with his beam swords. Miliardo ducks, and then he swings back, but Duo is careful and he immediately retreats, following with a swing at Miliardo�s midsection and a jab at his left hip. The two break up and begin a ferocious long distance battle. Miliardo fires with his vulcan guns and Duo with his. The Gundams dodge the streams of flying projectiles, moving left and then right with quick bursts of their powerful jets. Duo exchanges his vulcans for his machine cannons and fires rapidly toward Miliardo. Miliardo dodges these effortlessly and looks feverishly for an opening with which to mar his opponent. Finally, Miliardo moves and retrieves his dober gun and shoots directly at Duo�s midsection. Duo, reacting split second, moves to the left and bruises Miliardo with one of his shots. Miliardo backs off and smiles to himself, �Good work, Duo. I�d expect no less from you. But stop playing and let�s show these pilots what we�re really made of.� �You�re right, my friend. Games over, and you lose Cloud.� Duo turns and aims his buster rifle at the three awaiting Oz pilots. Cloud gazes at Duo, confused and stunned, �Uh�Duo�what do you think you�re doing? Shouldn�t you be aiming that thing at Miliardo? I mean�you�re working for us. Just finish him and bring him in! Duo laughs wickedly and turns to Miliardo. �How can these guys be so dense? I hate Oz! I put holes in their damn space fortress. I tell them I�ll help them capture Miliardo, ESA�s leader, and they believe me. Why would I work for Cloud when I can have three loyal, yet stupid, Oz pilots behind bars for awhile?� �You traitorous fool!� Cloud yells with fire in his eyes. Heero, Darius, Zero! Take them down, now! The three pilots move slightly forward. �Uh�Cloud, those are two Gundams. Do we really want to fight them?� Meanwhile, Midori looks on, hesistating to fight her own leader, but unable to abandon her mission. How can this be? Duo, you make things so complicated for me now. How can I fight against you? This must be Miliardo�s fault. That proud and arrogant pilot got us into this mess. You�re little games are going to cost you. Miliardo, you�re going to pay for this! -- This hatred, where does it come from? Duo and Miliardo stand side by side and prepared for the onslaught of the Oz soldiers. Cloud is the first to reach them with his dober gun, and lets lose a blast that misses Miliardo completely. Miliardo stabs him with his beam sword and throws him backward. Duo cuts through Heero with his beam sword and fires rapidly with his vulcan guns. Heero is damaged in the torso, midsection, and across the upper left shoulder area. Darius comes dashing in to attack, but Deathscythe releases his special buster shield attack. Forming a third beam claw at the end of its two-pronged shield, Deathscythe discharges its shield like a rocket straight into Darius� chest. Darius is helpless to resist an explosion in his Maganac that disables him permanently. Seeing this, Midori meets Miliardo, firing her chain rifle. Miliardo locks into battle with Midori as Zero takes on Duo. Zero attacks him with his beam saber, and Duo with his beam sword. �Not bad, Zero. ESA has taught you well. But both you and I know who the victor is!� Duo knocks the beam saber from his hand and thrusts his beam sword completely through his chest. The Pisces erupts into flames and falls to rest upon the dusty earth. Miliardo and Midori are locked in deadly combat, but they are fairly matched. Deathscythe is battered pretty badly wounded and Midori�s Aries has only substained minor damage. Miliardo raises his gun to inflict Midori with a nearly mortal wound, but Duo quickly interjects, �It�s over, guys.� Midori, you�ve done well! That is why I will gladly grant you the credits Cloud has promised to you for this fight.� �But sir�� Midori drops her weapon, and Miliardo and Duo begin rounding up what�s left of the other soldiers. �What do you want to do with him?� Duo says, staring at the mangled Pisces. �Let him go! I�ll send a repair unit to the site to restore his suit to operational status. Then to himself, �Zero�lost again.� Miliardo turns to Duo, �We�ve got some work to do. I want the Oz pilots detained at ESA Headquarters. We�ll rendezvous there, so that I can repair my suit and get ready for the mission ahead.� �I�m with you, Miliardo,� Duo grins. �We�ll attack the Oz Training Center together, and there�s no one to stop us now!� Mission Results: Duo completes mission #1-capture oz pilots. Turns against team: Midori, Cloud, Darius, Heero, Zero. Upon Miliardo's request, Duo infiltrated as Merc Mission #2 in order to complete this objective. By allowing Duo to aid them in their mission, the team is responsible for their own betrayal. Status: Cloud-POW Darius-POW Heero-POW Zero-ESA traitor, released Midori-released Duo-successful completion of Merc Job #1 Miliardo-n/a Reward: Midori-500 credits Duo-ESA rewards with 8000 - 500 Midori = 7500 Miliardo-n/a

Jake Ince-Oz Mission #1 Jake Ince arrives at the secret ESA Mobile Doll plant, hidden under the ocean floor and covering several miles. Through the cockpit of his Cancer mobile suit, Jake spots several Cancers immerging from a nearby cave. �That must be where large mobile suits and delivery crafts must be able to enter the underground area.� With caution, Jake inspects the surrounding area and locates what seems like a massive door that opens from the floor with some type of mechanism. Creeping in after the guards, Jake manages to slip inside before it closes. Suddenly his communicator begins to beep, and he pick up the receiver with a loud, �Yes, sir.� �Jake, make sure the main corridor is clear. We want to send in our infiltration unit, so eliminate any enemy pilots you see.� �Yes, captain! I�m on it.� Jake travels down a long corridor to the entrance of the base. Inside the area is a large pressure chamber that allows suits to enter from the water into a totally secure and livable area. To the left are several other corridors that are probably for loading cargo into smaller areas for transport within the base. �Uh oh,� Jake moans as he notices five enemy units on his radar. Shooting out of one of the tunnels are five Cancer suits, pursuing only one objective, their Oz invader. The guards attack Jake with torpedoes, but he evades them quickly and counters with several of his own. Two of his torpedoes tear into the side of a Cancer suit, and it explodes violently. Two Cancers move to Jake�s left and right and attempt the same maneuver, but Jake quickly fires another set of four torpedoes that meet their targets dead center. With only two remaining, Jake takes the offensive. He rushes to meet the Cancers just as one fires in his direction. Dodging quickly, he avoids the enemies� projectiles which wiz past him and into one of the ESA suits. With only one target left, Jake races straight toward his opponent. The pilot fires four torpedoes in his direction, but Jake makes a 180 degree turn, misses the torpedoes and kills the pilot with two of his own. Watching the carnage of the five Cancers sinking to the ground, Jake emails his captain with confirmation of his success. �Good work, soldier. We�ll be moving in shortly.� Mission Results: Success Reward: 5000 credits or a free micro missle launcher x 10 Damage: None

Miliardo vs. John Zeta-Friendly Battle Standing amidst the swaying grasses of the countryside, the two pilots quietly faced one another. Standing there a few moments longer, sizing each other up, Miliardo finally became impatient. �Shall we begin then?� started Miliardo, but before he had even finished his sentence, John Zeta, code named: The Raven had already replied �Of course! it�s about time, I wanna get this battle underway!� Confident of his abilities, Miliardo looked at Zeta and said �well then, come and fight me, for you surely face defeat.� �Oh?� replied the Raven, �well that may be so, but if I�m going down I�m taking you with me!� as he fired up his Aries and blasted upwards into the air, simultaneously firing his missile pods. �Wha-what?� said Miliardo, who was caught off guard, and narrowly avoided the missiles that streaked towards him. As Miliardo looked into the sky after the circling Aries, he couldn�t help but think that it would be wise to not under-estimate this pilot . �No matter� said Miliardo �I shall defeat you anyway� rising up in to the sky until he was level with the already circling Zeta, he then proceeded to repeatedly fire his dober gun after the swooping mobile suit. Dodging the first shot Zeta fired his missiles again, only to have Miliardo again dodge them, and so succeeded only in leaving a large circle of charred grass and earth in the vast countryside in which they fought. Continuing in his evasive maneuvers, the Raven�s luck ran out when one of the shots from the dober gun nicked one of his boosters, causing it to begin to smoke and overload �This isn�t working� muttered Zeta to himself,� I need to get closer.� Meanwhile Miliardo watched passively, contentedly floating in his Aries and watched as Zeta stopped his aries from circling his own and then blasted straight up into the air until he could no longer see it. He stared after him, curious as to the eccentric pilot�s next maneuver. What he saw shocked him �What the? he can�t be serious can he?� gasped Miliardo in amazement as the Aries quickly came into view, and he saw it flying towards him, top speed, and it was clear that Raven was trying to charge him head on, shoulder lowered in an attempt to ram him. The two Aries made contact some hundred feet off the ground, and Zeta had gotten Miliardo beneath him, and was now trying to force Miliardo to crash into the fast approaching ground. Back in the ESA leader�s cockpit Miliardo was screaming �You�ve gotta be crazy! you�ll get us both killed!� �Maybe� replied the Raven calmly �but like I said if I�m going down, I�m taking you with me.� Pinned beneath the other Aries, Miliardo had to muster all of his skill to manage to draw his beam sword, and with it struck a glancing blow to his opponent�s arm. It was enough however, and it freed the grateful ESA pilot who managed to right his mobile suit and fire his boosters just in time, moments before he would cratered in the Earth. The Raven was not so lucky. after having his flight path forcibly changed by Miliardo�s beam sword, he was forced to try to break his Aries swooping dive, with questionable success. With incredible force, the mecha slammed into the ground, and began flipping and bouncing across the fields, until he finally skidded to a stop face up. Quickly doing a systems� check, the battered pilot soon realized that in the horrible fall, not only had he destroyed his boosters, but he had had his legs ripped from the mobile suit�s torso somewhere along the way as well. Most of his systems were offline, but he had no idea as to how badly damaged they really were. Also, to his misfortune, the glancing blow he had received from Miliardo�s beam sword had rendered his left arm useless. �Well, I guess I�ll just have to wait and see how the rest is going to play itself out� muttered Zeta to himself. From his vantage point a hundred yards away, Miliardo could not determine the extent of the damage that had been done to his opponent, though from what he could tell, he didn�t appear to be moving. �I suppose I ought to go take a closer look� said Miliardo, but upon trying to direct his Aries over to the fallen mobile suit, he soon discovered that he had not been as lucky as he had imagined, and that his Aries knee joints had been fused by the impact, enabling him to stand , but not walk. �No problem, I�ll just fly on over� thought Miliardo to himself. Upon reaching his destination, Miliardo surveyed the wreckage that only minutes before had been an Aries. Suddenly the lifeless suit in front of him flared to life, and it�s one intact limb, the right arm, swung about, and Miliardo was face to face with a chain rifle. Wasting no time, the aries began firing near point blank range into Miliardo's mecha�s torso, the bullets ripping through the armor, and knocking down the suit. �Dammit! he just won�t give up will he?� growled Miliardo, as he rolled his suit to the side and managed to get the suit to its feet. A quick systems analysis revealed that his left arm had been disabled, his dober gun had been damagaed and some minor systems were offline. Zeta�s Aries was still firing the chain gun in the same original direction, apparently unable to move any longer not even to release the trigger. �Raven, I�ve had enough of you, I�m going to end this here and now!� snarled Miliardo as he brought his beam sword to bear. A few quick movements and he had severed the Aries last arm, and decapitated it as well. Thus, the battle ended, and Miliardo was declared the victor. BATTLE RESULTS: MILIARDO VS. RAVEN - MILIARDO WINS MILIARDO DAMAGE: Extensive damage to torso, Legs Severely Damaged, Left Arm Immobilized, Minor Circuitry Damage,Severe Damage to dober gun. ZETA DAMAGE: Left Arm- shoulder joint destroyed, Legs- ripped from torso, but intact, Right Arm- severed, Head- severed., Boosters-Destroyed, Minor circuitry damage REWARD: Miliardo +20 all stats, John Zeta +30 in stat of his choosing

Ace McCloud OZ MISSION #4 Ace yawns softly as he lays back in the seat of his cockpit, staring out at the wasteland before him. "I can't believe I took this mission ... so boring ..." Ace says out loud, looking left and right, "... I don't even think the Maganacs are even here!" His eyes look away from the desert to his radar, multiple bleeps appearing all over the board. His eyes widen as they surround him. "Oh great ... think of an excuse, quick!" Ace yells at himself. The ten Maganacs all aim their beam rifles at him, with the intent to kill first and ask questions later. He hurriedly draws his GS-970 and fires a few shots, blowing away each Maganac he hits. He drops the GS-970 and launches forward, slamming his fist through the face of a Maganac and taking the beam rifle, firing a shot through the torso. A blast hits the back of his Maganac, knocking him forward. "Ack! I can't do this for much longer!" He turns and fires three shots through the Maganac that hit him, the last few Maganacs shoot for the face and thrusters of his Maganac. He kicks in his thrusters, flying forward. A shot takes out his left leg, sending him spiraling into the ground. "Man ... err!" He gets up and starts firing rapidly, taking out the last few Maganacs in that group. He breaths heavily, sweat sliding down his face. He wipes it off and taps his radar, the screen skipping in and out. "They short circuited it, now how am I supposed to know when ... AH!" Ace yells. A blast rockets against the back of his Maganac, sending the suit face first into the ground. He pushes the suit up slowly, getting back his surroundings. He's surrounded once again, but this time with twenty Maganacs. They all fire at once, the blasts tearing through his suit in critical spots, his suit begins to spark. "I give ... I give!" Ace calls out. The Maganacs stop firing and circle in close around him. Ace steps out of his cockpit on to the platform and stands there, his arms in the air. A couple Maganac Corps. pilots start appearing on the platforms as well, guns drawn. Ace smirks evilly and starts laughing. In a flash his hand reaches down into his pocket and pulls out a self-detonation switch. "I'm succeeding with his mission ... dead or alive. I need the money ... sheesh!" Ace calls out to them. He closes his eyes and presses the switch in, his Maganac begins to glow and then explodes, Ace gets flung from his Maganac and lands hard in the sand. He lifts his head up and looks up at where his suit was, only four of the enemy Maganacs were damaged and two were destroyed. "My Maganac ... damn ... hope Cloud or Vaun have an extra for me," Ace says, then passes out. The last fourteen Maganac pilots start searching for the OZ pilot, they soon find him and put him into the cargo area of one of the Maganacs and they head off back to their base with their POW. Mission Result: Failed Damage Report Maganac Corps: 12 Destroyed Maganacs, 4 Minorly Damaged Ace: Maganac Self-Destructed, POW

Sean vs. Fud-Friendly Battle Sean rises slowly from a deep sleep as a Leo approaches. He looks sleepily at the Leo, searching groggily for any identification of which organization it's from. He soon finds a White Fang symbol, he sits up quickly and activates his Aries. A pilot appears from the cockpit of the Leo, he's a small man. Sean exits his Aries, his hands stuffed into his pockets. "Fud ..." "Sean ..." "Lets do this." "You got it." Sean jumps backward into his suit, the cockpit closing fast. Fud walks calmly back into his suit and plops himself down into the seat, the cockpit slamming shut behind him. Sean's Aries jerks into the air, drawing his blast shield and beam saber, Fud draws his beam saber. Fud does a small prayer and then thrusts at the Aries, his saber is met by a shield, but Fud holds the saber to it, melting into the shield. Sean swings his beam saber and cuts into the shoulder of Fud's Leo. Fud backs up slightly and swings the saber down under the shield, the blade cuts into the middle of the upper portion of Aries' right leg. "Better then I thought ..." Sean thinks to himself, "... but no matter." Sean kicks in the thrusters and breaks away from the Leo, he rises fast into the air and hovers there. Fud looks up at him, the visor flashing a few times. Sean takes a deep breath and dives at him, shield held out and blade slightly curved, Fud anticipates this and ducks, jabbing his saber upward, the tip of the saber leaps through the torso and right shoulder. Sean does a barrel roll and cuts through the back of the head of the Leo. Sean disengages his beam saber. "Nice move Sean," Fud comments. "Thanks, not to bad yourself," Sean replies. Sean lands his Aries and checks damages, Fud does the same. Sean nods and ignites his beam saber once more, bringing his blast shield up, Fud spins the beam saber and waits. Sean kicks the thrusters to full and flies straight at Fud, who kicks his thrusters into and burns the back of Sean's Aries. Sean spins and swipes his beam saber through the legs of Fud's Leo, clipping them off. Fud gasps and slams into the ground. Sean's Aries lands next to the fallen Leo and Sean steps out of the cockpit. Fud gets out of his sparking Leo and stares up at Sean. "Nice battle Fud," Sean says. "Same to you," Fud responds. Sean salutes, with Fud saluting back, and then jumps back into his Aries. He flies off, checking through the damages of his suit again. Fud plops down on the torso of his Leo and goes over the battle, trying to find out where he went wrong. Winner: Sean Yukari Reward: 20+ In All Stats Damage: Shield - Minor Melts, Right Leg - Minor Damage On Upper Portion, Torso - Minor Damage, Left Shoulder - Minor Damage, Minor Burns On Thrusters Loser: Fud Prendergast Reward: 30+ In One Stat OF His Choosing Damage: Left Shoulder - Minor Damage, Circuitry Damage To Head, Leg Replacements

Jack Blade WFM#5 Two Pisces glide along the water, their lights illuminating the water before them. Two other Pisces rise slowly to the surface. A lone Pisces skims across the ocean floor, the dirt keeping it undetected. "Man ... this is really gonna suck if they find me ..." Jack mutters to himself. A few Cancers go over top of him, not one noticing him at all. Jack lands softly into the dirt, his scanners sweeping through the water, trying to find all the suits. "Ok ... two pisces at the surface, two a few yards to my left, three cancers to my right, and the rest inspecting that cave in front of me ... wow, scattered," Jack says to himself. He twists his Pisces around and throws his small shield out into the murkiness, he hears a bang and then he drops the Pisces back down into the murk of the ocean floor. "Good shot for not being able to see anything," he mutters. The group of Cancers comes back, their sensors and lights sweeping the area, again missing him completely. One notices something a little away from Jack, a piece of metal protruding from the mud. They go toward it, giving Jack his chance. "Here goes ..." He bursts forth from the ground, slicing his beam saber through the first Cancer and thrusting it into the next one. The last bashes its claw into his chest, making some sparks fly. He crashes the beam saber through the head of that Cancer and spins around quickly, his sensors checking to see if the other suits saw. "Sheesh ... that was ... AH!" he yells. Explosion after explosion rock his Pisces in the water, sending him slamming into the muddy bottom. He forces himself up out of the water, his vision distorted and sensors busted. "How did they ... wait ..." he whispers to himself. The four Pisces land around his fallen suit and gaze down at it. The visors flash a few times and then they turn and disappear through the murk. Jack's Pisces gets up and he types furiously at the controls, finally fixing his vision. "Man ... those were DOLLs, I thought the Pisces were supposed to be Mercs," he mumbles. An explosion slams into the mud next to him, he turns, sees the 4 Pisces coming back, Jack's eyes widen. He mumbles about the mission and failing, then jerks the suit around and puts it on full power, and his suit groan through the water to the surface by the beach. "Can't believe I failed ... wait .... not yet!" He dives back under and dives strait into one of the Pisces, beam saber first. The Pisces explodes, sending him back a little. "I can't leave without my shield, damnit!" he yells in fury. He does a quick spin and his saber hits another saber. He clashes with the Pisces for a few minutes, his Pisces receiving more than giving. He soonlands a direct hit into the cockpit and the suit explodes. He dives into the bottom and quickly finds his shield, he begins to surface, the last two Pisces following. He explodes from the surface of the water and changes back into battle mode, running along sandy ground. Mission Result: Failed Damage Report: ESA Amphibious Suits: 3 Cancers Destroyed, 2 Pisces Destroyed Jack: Vision Minor Damage, Sensor Replacement, Left Claw Replacement, Right Leg Minor Damage Reward: None

Ryu vs. Fud-Friendly Battle Ryu yawns boredly as he taps his fingers across the platform of his suit, laying sprawled out across it. He looks up as a jet passes overhead his eyes continuing to look for a mobile suit owned by a man named Fud. He yawns once again, this yawn so powerful that his jaw opens all the way and he has to close his eyes to finish it. When his eyes once again open, Fud has arrived. "Hey Fud, what's with your timing!?" Ryu yells out to him. "Get in your suit and lets finish this," Fud responds. "Sheesh .. fine ..." Ryu mutters as he gets up and climbs groggily back into his Maganac. Fud's Leo draws its Beam Saber and stands at the ready as Ryu's Maganac comes online. Ryu quickly dodges backward as Fud goes on the assault, after a few minutes of Fud slashing frantically at Ryu, trying to land a hit, Ryu draws his Dober Gun and lands a point-blank shot into the Leo's torso. Spark fly as the Leo stumbles and then crashes against the ground. The Leo quickly climbs to its feet and thrusts and slashes, landing a hit every now and then. "You're very determined, aren't you Fud?" Ryu asks. "I won't lose to you, OZ scum!" Fud replies, angrily. Ryu lets out a low growl and fires two point-blank shots from his dober gun into the legs of Fud's Leo. He then drops the dober gun and draws his beam sword. He does a quick maneuver and the arms of Fud's Leo. drop helplessly to the ground and let out small explosion. Fud gasps as the beam sword gets thrusted into the chest of his Leo, the computer systems beginning to shock and tremble. Fud quickly disengages the whole system and the Leo falls backward against the ground. "You lost Fud. And no Oz pilot is scum, you learned that today," Ryu informs him, taking his lightly damaged Maganac and heading off. Fud once again climbs out of his Leo and plops down upon the torso of it, almost falling inside of it, but catching himself quickly. Sweat slides down his face as he stares into the deep hole of his Leo's torso. Winner: Ryu Sunfire Damage Report: Minimal Damage to Left Arm, Torso, and Right Leg. Reward: 20+ In All Stats Loser: Fud Prendergast Damage Report: Left and Right Arm Replacements, Torso - Major Damage, Left and Right Leg - Major Damage, Computer Systems - Replacement.

Sean vs. Cloud-Friendly Battle The desert was not especially hot today, but the battle between these two pilots sure promised to heat thing up. Standing amidst the sands Cloud Strife and Sean Yukari faced each other. �Well Yukari, are you going to fight me or just stand there!� grumbled Cloud. Sean looked around and then stared back Strife. �Hmm. So you�re supposed to be Oz�s elite soldier huh. Well if everyone else in Oz is dressed like you it�s no wonder that everyone attacks you so often.� said Sean staring at the desert surrounding the two pilots. �What! You dare to mock me after making me wait like this! I should kill you right now for wasting my time.� � Well you can try if you want but I doubt that you will succeed.� said Sean still staring into the desert. Furious cloud made a leap into the air and landed in the palm of his Maganac. �No one mocks the Almighty OZ Pilot and lives!� Sean then jumped into the cockpit of his Aries and fired up his boosters waiting for his opponent to make a move. �Ok Strife if you�re so almighty then show me what you can do.� �Hahahahahha that's fine with me� laughed cloud as he quickly removed his Dober Gun and fired four quick shots towards the Aries. Sean immediately pulled out his blast shield and blocked the fire. Then hitting his booster the Aries took off and started firing its chain rifle at Cloud�s Maganac. After a couple of rounds of dodge and shoot Cloud�s dober gun had run out of power. �Damn, every time I hit him it just bounces off that shield of his. I need to get in closer.� Cloud stopped firing at the Aries and replaced his dober gun with a beam sword. �Let�s see how well you handle a couple of missiles� shouted Sean as he fires his missile pods directly at Cloud�s head. A loud explosion and the area was covered with a cloud of sand of dust. Sean quickly took out his beam saber and charged toward the dust cloud trying to pull off a finishing move. Before he could even see what kind of damage he had done it was too late. Cloud had saw the projectiles coming and used his crash shield to protect himself. �Ahhhhhhhhhhh!� screamed cloud as he blocked Yurakri�s saber with his shield and thrust his beam sword into the suit�s left arm. With a quick turn of Strife�s sword Sean�s arm and shield had been torn from his suit�s body. �I�m not done yet.� said Sean as he swung his beam saber into the maganac�s right arm. Reversing his boosters the aries shot backward away from another attack. �You can�t escape me!� cloud yelled as his eyes turned bright green. �Who said I was running?� sean glared as his beam saber went up to full power. The maganac ran toward the aries in a powerful rage but before cloud could strike his opponent down his arm had stop moving. The blow to cloud�s right arm caused major circuitry damage and had fused his joint. Sean took advantage of this and stabbed cloud�s left shoulder. Thankfully the maganac�s armor protected the suit from any major damage. � No, I can�t be defeated.� roared cloud as he tackled the aries with his crash shield knocking Yukari�s suit flat on its back. �Don�t go out on me yet.� Sean yelled as he hit his boosters on full and push his suit upright. Before Sean could take any action he was face to face with two shoulder cannons. Beams of light burned and ripped right through the suit causing massive damage to all systems. Amazingly the aries was still standing. Cloud stopped his assault and moved backward trying to catch his breath. Sean tried to move his beam saber to attack but was unable to. His suit finally collapsed under the stress and damage it had taken. Opening his cockpit Sean jumped out of the suit and went over to cloud's mecha. �So I guess that�s it then.� Sean said looking over at his mangled suit. Cloud jumped down from his suit and walk over to Yukari. �Well I guess I went a little over board.� �Heh, well next time you won�t be so lucky.� said Sean with a grin. �Well then we will just have see. Until the next time we meet.� and with that cloud climbed back into his suit and walked off into the horizon.

Zero Halfallen-ESA Mission #6 Zero adjusts his OZ uniform as he lands his Taurus within the confinements of the OZ Lunar Doll Base. He slips the stars on to his collar, adjusts his name tag, and then plops his hat on to his head. "Man ... I look so dorky," he mutters to himself. He opens the cockpit and steps out on to the platform. Three OZ soldiers salute, he returns with a perfect salute back. He wipes his forehead, sighing. "I thought I was gonna mess up and do an ESA salute ..." he says softly to himself. He steps inside the Lunar Base and looks around; finding a terminal he quickly accesses a base map and memorizes all of his plausible escape routes. After traversing a myriad of nearly identical corridors and elevators he finds the hallway he's been searching for. Walking slowly down the hallway he passes several doors, many bearing RESTRICTED ACCESS upon them. He opens one of them with a code hacked out of the Oz mainframe and gasps at the room before him. A small model of a new mecha lay upon a table in the center of the room. "From the looks of it ... its a Virgo! But ... it's different," he says, stepping into the room. He walks over to the table and gazes at the model, his eyes taking in every detail of it. He slips a disk from his pocket sits down by the computer by the far wall and slides the disk in. He begins to type furiously, looking for the specifications of the model suit behind him. He quickly finds it under the header of the "Virgo II" and the file details the early schematics of this latests mobile suit advancement. "The Virgo II ... man, that thing is equipped," he says out loud. He quickly transfers all the information from the computer on to the disk, then deletes it from the computer. He slips the disk out, sets a C4 on the side of the computer and then turns to leave the room, when suddenly three scientists walk in. "What are you doing in here?!" one asks. "I was checking out the new equipment," Zero replies quickly. "There were no scheduled tests, show me your ID Badge!" another demands. "Sure thing" Zero replies, discreetly pushing a button on a hidden communicator, he walks slowly over to the trio. Just as he approaches the three, explosions rock the base. "Sound the alarm!" the third yells and slams his hand against a button on the wall. Sirens begin to wail and Zero covers his ears. The scientists run from the room with Zero close behind. He makes like he's following them, but instead ducks behind a corner and heads back to the door he was just at. He locks the door then destroys the keypad. He slips out of the room and dashes for a nearby elevator. Stepping out, he runs to a door across the hall marked "MAINTENNANCE". Opening the door he is confronted with a corridor large enough for mobile suits to travel through. He waits a moment and then sees three Taurus and two Virgos barreling down the hallway. He grins and jumps on to the foot of one as it passes by. "Quick way," he says with a smirk. As the troop nears the entrance, Zero jumps from his perch and lands with a roll onto the ground. He soon spots his Taurus and walks up to it. He pulls the disk from the Oz jacket, before pulling it off and throws it to the ground. He pulls out his hat and puts it on, and pushes the button on the remote detonator to activate the C4 he had placed, laughing to himself. Grabbing onto the dangling grappling cord he ascends to his cockpit. Falling back in his seat he begins to engage the systems but then accidentally starts up the Vulcan Gun System and they start blazing ruining his perfect escape. He smacks himself in the head and shuts it off, but a detachment of OZ suits take notice and begin to engage him. "Dammit!" he yells. He raises his beam cannon in defense but bolts of energy rip through the ESA pilot�s suit repeatedly disabling most of his systems, destroying his beam cannon and causing a fuel leak before one of the two ESA Virgos that started the fighting appears behind Zero, activating its planet defensors around Zero�s Taurus and shielding him from the attacks. Battered, Zero opens one eye and manages to activate his Vulcan Gun System. The bullets rip through two of the Taurus�, destroying them and the Virgo with him destroys a Virgo all its own. Looking out at the second battle taking place with the other ESA Virgo, he sees the suit's shield go down and is quickly annihilated. With time against him, Zero attempts to flee the scene, using the remaining Virgo as a rear guard. He slams the thrusters, sending him flying out into space. Knowing he could never outrun Oz in his current condition, he taps into the Virgo DOLL�s systems and activates the self-destruct mechanism, using the ensuing explosion to mask his departure. Managing to make it to a somewhat removed moon valley with the last of his leaking fuel, he snaps open a com link to the ESA HQ. "Zero Halfallen here. I have completed my mission successfully, I will begin relaying the information to you," he reports. "Good job Lieutenant Zero," Miliardo responds. Zero salutes and gets a salute back. He slips the information on the Virgo II into his Taurus and begins to transfer it to the main computer of the ESA HQ. After a few minutes, the data is received and Zero terminates the com-link. Zero rests for a moment in the darkened crater before it occurs to him� "How am I going to get back?" Mission Result: Success Damage Report: Zero � Fuel line severed, Torso shredded, Arms disabled, Beam Cannon Destroyed Virgos - Destroyed OZ - 2 Taurus 1 Virgo Destroyed Reward: Virgo DOLL, Lv.1 Doll Program

Ryu Sunfire-Oz Mission #1 �There's the Research Center!� said Ryu as his Pisces screens started to flare. �Ok, from I can see there are five Cancers guarding the entrance. Hmm I don�t like this. Only five Cancer guarding there base. That just doesn�t sound right. I had better not let my guard down.� Slowly Ryu moves his Pisces within the sand of the ocean floor making sure he would not be detected. �Now all I have to do is wait for the right moment.� said Ryu as he moved his suit to a halt. �What? it looks like there opening the main doors...� Ryu slowly moved his Pisces closer to get a better look. �It looks like some sort of large metal crate. Well as long as the Cancers are busy moving that thing I might as well take advantage of it.� said Ryu as he quickly gunned his boosters throwing up sand and debris. �Ok, Here I go.� yelled Sunfire as he quickly transformed his Pisces�s into its mobile suit mode. Hitting his jets he blasted over to the leader of the squadron. Before the Cancer could even make a move Ryu took his Twin Claws and rammed them into the suit cockpit. Within seconds the suit exploded with nothing left but pieces of metal and a very hyped up pilot. Now surrounded by the remaining m-suits there was nowhere to go except straight through. �Ok you ESA scum I�ll take you all on. Who wants to die first.� said Sunfire as he waited for the Cancers to make a move. Before anyone could attack a loud voice came over the Com system. �Saber Squadron return to base. We'll let the prototype take care of him.� Then the Cancers quickly turned around and headed towards the base. �No you don�t. I�ve just begun to kick your butts.� said Ryu as he started to pursue them. Before he could get a good lock on the group two beam of light shot right past the front of his suit. �What the hell!� �It looks like it came from that crate. Well whatever you are here I come, AHHHHHHH!� yelled Ryu as he readied his claws and lunged toward the unknown mobile suit. Before he could get close enough to even scratch it the suit extended its left arm to full length and grabbed the Pisces by its torso. �What! That thing can extend its arms!� The suit then threw the Pisces into the ocean floor severely damaging the suit�s circuitry. �Damn now I have a headache not to mention most of my systems are fried! Ok now I�m mad.� Sunfire said turning his suit upright. �Now were did that thing get to.� said Ryu as he checked the area for the position of the prototype. �What behind me!� Ryu quickly turned his suit around to see four torpedoes headed directly for him. �O yeah take this!� yelled Ryu as he launched his own torpedoes toward the oncoming fire. With a blast of energy the projectiles hit each other while the rest of Ryu�s torpedoes headed directly for the unknown suit. With a large explosion the entire ocean floor was covered with sand and debris. �Ok Sunfire I think its time to get out of here.� Hitting his jets the Pisces took off towards the surface. At about halfway a large rumbling started to come from behind Sunfire. �Now What.� said Ryu as he checked his screen for what was making the noise. �NO THAT�S IMPOSSIBLE!� Coming up behind Ryu a great speed was the unknown mobile suit. Although there was some noticeable damage it was not enough to stop it. �Fine I still have one trick left.� said Ryu as he turned his suit around and removed his previously concealed Dober Gun. �Ok lets see you survive this!� Ryu yelled as he aimed directly at the suit�s cockpit and fire. Unfortunately, for the Dober Gun to function under water its circuitry had to be modified greatly decreasing the firing speed giving the ESA suit long enough to dodge the attack. As a large streak of light flew right past the suit its one eye started to flare. �Ok guess I spoke too soon. Now I really have to get out of here.� Ryu quickly transformed his suit back to submarine mode and started back towards the surface. �Darn its still following me but at least I can stay ahead of it in this mode. Upon reaching the surface Ryu looked around for the shore line. �There we go.� Turning his suit towards the shore Ryu started for the land mass. Right before reaching land Ryu�s Pisces stopped dead in its tracks. �What! Oh come on don�t give out on be now. Wait my jets are working perfectly so why can�t this....� But before Ryu could finish his sentence the reason for his suits loss in speed had just surfaced behind him. �Oh you have got to be kidding me.� Behind him was the ESA�s suit with both of its arms attached to Ryu�s suit. �Come on I can�t give up yet.� Ryu said as he turned his jets on full trying the break the attacking suit�s grasp. Then lights started to glow from both of the unknown suit�s hands. Within moments two beam cannons blasted strait though the Pisces completely destroying both its arms. Then with great force the Pisces was lifted into the air and thrown into the sandy beach. �Uh, my head is killing me.� said ryu as he opened his cockpit and fell out into the sand. �Ahh man he totaled my suit. Well at least it looks like its gone now.� said ryu as he looked as his once top of the line Pisces. �Heh wait till the boys back at HQ here about this.� Mission Results: FAILED Damage Enemy: One Cancer Destroyed, Unknown mobile suit with minimal damage Damage Report: Sunfire-Massive circuitry damage, all data on unknown suit destroyed in battle, Both arms destroyed

ESA MISSION #1 (Crono) & Oz Mission #3 (Darius) A lone pisces glides through the murky waters of the ocean. The ESA marking on the back of it totally gave it away as a single cancer appears and fires a couple torpedos, the torpedos tearing silently through the water as they make contact with the pisces, tearing the suit to pieces. The cancer turns and glides away, the OZ marks on its back showing faintly. As the suit vanishes within the murkiness, another pisces appears, with the same ESA marking. The suit switches to battle mode and lands softly on the muddy ocean floor. "Man, I'm happy I took that doll with me. Or that would have been me," Crono says, wiping sweat from his brow. Crono runs off into the murkiness of the water, his sensors phasing through the water. Searching for the prototpye Gundam parts lost within this area. Darius sits comfortable in the cockpit of his cancer, staring into the water before him as his sensors glide through the water. He jerks forward in his seat, spotting metal. He switches from sub mode to battle mode, letting his suit sink silently to the bottom. The metal jerks around, a pisces. Its missile pods tear open and release a group of clustered torpedoes. Darius jumps back, firing torpedo of his own into the group, letting the explosion fom one take out the rest. He dashes forward, his blast shield drawn and torpedeoes loaded for combat. The pisces draws its small shield and flashes its twin claws menancingly "Surrender ESA," Darius orders. "Gonna make me, wimp?" the pilot asks, mockingly. "Identify yourself, you scoundrel!" Darius orders with a smirk. "ESA Private Crono Trigger Cross, you OZ scum. Now lets go!" Crono yells, launching his suit forward. Darius catches the claw as it rakes through the water, and rams his blast shield up into the head of Crono's pisces. The damaged sensors phase in and out as Crono backs away. "Cheap shot you bastard!" he declares. "No less than you deserved" Darius says. Darius swings his fist, catching the small shield in the center. Crono lurches forward and upward, the knee of his pisces slamming straight into the torso of Darius' cancer, knocking him back. Darius recovers quickly from the move, launching a couple of torpedos straight into Crono. Crono deflects one with his shield, while knocking the other askew with a claw. Darius growls as the explosion blocks his vision. Suddenly the hilt of a beam saber is slammed into the shoulder of Darius' suit, and then activates ripping through his arm. Just as quickly a claw tears through the water and rips through his torso. Darius gasps and grabs the arm, yanking forward till the enemy's suits torso is in view, and placing his own sword against the suit, activates his beam sword , the blade ripping up from the plating of the cockpit, entering into the suit in the center of the torso, and cutting up through the sensory. Crono's beam saber falls as the other claw comes in and bashes the cancer's head off. Crono jettisons forward, slamming full force into Darius' cancer, knocking it back. Both suits lay in the ground, electricity sparking about the cuts of both suits. "I'm sorry to say Darius, but we both lost this one," Crono says. "No ... you lost," Darius says. The cockpit of the cancer opens and Darius steps out. He swims up past the two disabled suits, Crono quickly coming up after him. Darius draws his sword in the water and spins it in his hand. Crono smiles and draws his sword as well. Darius swims past Crono, dragging his sword along his left arm, cutting into Crono's flesh. Crono grits his teeth and follows after him. Darius spins in the water and stops, his hand clutching a switch. Crono's eyes widen as he recognizes the self-detonation switch. "If I go down, I'm taking you ESA filth with me. You got that!?" Darius yells. Crono turns and swims fast, but isn't fast enough as Darius presses the button. An explosion roars forth from the surface of the ocean, the water spraying everywhere. Down below the sea, pieces of metal from two amphibious suits, a cancer and a pisces lay scattered about, but there is no sign of the two pilots of these two suits of war. The water shifts back and forth beneath the water, revealing two swords laying point down in the mud, where there final wielders dropped them. Missions Result: Both Failures Damage Report Crono - Possibly Dead, Left Arm Cut Darius - Possibly Dead Pisces - Head Replacement, Major Torso Damage, Major Circuitry Damage, Minor Arm and Leg Damage Cancer - Head Replacement, Major Torso Damage, Major Circuitry Damage
