EVENT 4: Dark Activity, Event

Outer space is quiet and peaceful. However, just outside of the region of debris, between the moon and the Earth, mobile suits are active and moving about. A variety of them have been placed around a large mechanical device that seems to be a piece of a larger mechanism, but it is very hard to tell. The mobile suits are soon discovered to be those that belong to the faction of Yggdrasil and they notice that the military has come about their territory and attack. As it seems, only one type of mobile suit is present on the battlefield: the space-type Tieren. However, it is accompanied by the less-familiar mobile suit that puts to use a false solar reactor which was most recently fashioned by Yggdrasil. The battle promises a lot of danger.

Approaching the terrorist force in the distance, the Alliance attack force warily kept an eye on the trio of mobile suits in the distance. The Arche's Gundam's advanced E-sensors identified two of the three units as Tieren Space types, while the other sported an all too familiar profile. “Yggdrasil...” the husky Extended pilot muttered under his breath, at the sight of the illegal custom GN-T machine.

Selecting the newly added GN launcher mounted on the right shoulder of the Arche, the long range firearm swiveled into a firing position. A reddish glow began to coalesce on the muzzle, before turning into a long firing beam aimed at the accompanying Tieren. A second long firing beam soon followed the first one, this time aimed at the other Tieren. Intending to capitalize on the unexpected long distance attacks, the GN-T drive on the Arche's rear whirled furiously, thereby speeding the the mobile suit forward with the subsequent increase in particle production.

Trailing behind the Arche Gundam, one on each side of the crimson machine, the pair of GN-Xs carefully kept a wary eye on the trip of enemy mobile suits. Due to the range between the two forces, the Alliance machines withheld fire for the time being, preferring to close in until such time that their weaponry was in range, and thus usable.

The enemy mobile suits which belonged to the Earth Alliance approached the Yggdrasil forces at a frightening pace. "Protect the satellite!" Eugene commanded, ordering his subordinates to charge forward so that they could stop the enemy from succeeding in their endeavour. The blue space-type mobile suits accelerated forward and commenced the attack. The soldier that traveled the fastest was the first to be attacked by the red Gundam and its mighty beam cannon. Fortunately, the Tieren mobile suit pilot was talented enough to guarantee his survival but sacrificed the opportunity to counterattack at that instant. Instead, his comrade opened fire with his machine gun followed by propelling a single explosive missile toward the GN-XIII that was the closest to him. As this aggressive conflict escalated, the blue Gundam-like Vardant charged the commanding officer on the scene. "Fight me one on one, Gundam!" He demanded, charging up the beam cannon stored in his mobile suit's chest. It soon unleashed a very fine and powerful particle beam that was "dragged" from left to right with the intention of "slicing" through all three of the Earth Alliance mobile suits in a single-felled swoop.

Situation Theme: Approach

The Arche Gundam darted upwards and over the brackish red beam. "No, Not Yet !", Lincoln yelled, as he made the Arche rush towards the blue Vardant. "Yggdrasil Commander, I accept your request !" the Extended replied loudly, as he unleashed 4 rapid consecutive bursts of condensed GN particle beam fire at the enemy machine from his shoulder mounted GN launcher. Preparing for the eventual melee combat, the sword rack on the rear Arche's left shoulder rotated into place, thereby allowing easy access to the two GN buster swords stored on the device. Grabbing both massive blades, one in each hand, the Arche assumed a battle ready pose, intent on nothing less than the utter destruction of the Vardant.

"This will be different from what you expect,Yggdrasil !"

" Well then, shall we begin ?! Brace yourself for an all out attack from my Gundam !"

Viciously attacked by the enemy Vardant, the duo of GN-Xs barely had time to evade the scything beam attack. Fortunately for the pilots, their machines were agile enough to avoid the deadly particle beam attack. However, unit 1 was subsequently attacked by one of the enemy Tierens. Bringing up its arm mounted GN defence rod, the spinning blades effortlessly neutralized the incoming ballistic rounds. However the attack was not at an end. Trailing behind was a single bazooka projectile, which would cause quite a bit of damage, should it come into contact with the GN-X. Intent on destroying the shell, the GN-X pointed its compact GN rifle at the round, and unloaded a burst of fire at the impeding object, destroying the heavy round in a cloud of smoke. With the result smoke cover from the explosion of the shell, the GN-X darted further to the right, intending to attack on the left of the blocky Tieren unit.

The second unit, on the left of the Arche, was considerably luckier. Having avoided the beam attack, it was free to close in and press on its attack on the other Tieren. Taking aim at the blue machine's torso, the GN-X unleashed two quick bursts, hoping to quickly neutralize the terrorist unit.

The blue custom mobile suit charged forward, unfolding its wings to protect it from the impending particle beam while eluding the second one and demonstrating great piloting ability. "You will need to be much faster than that to catch me, Gundam!" Eugene assured, charging into his adversary with both metal swords in his hand. The sharpened edge was raised and then, when the distance between both combatants was closed, brandished in a downward diagonal manner. It was a very plain attack but it was not one delivered with the intention of killing, but rather judging the level of talent his opponenet possessed. "Show me what you have got, Gundam!"

Meanwhile, the Tieren were facing some problems on their own. The target did its best to dodge and evade the incoming particle beams but was forced to block many of them, suffering from detriment because of its shield's inability to protect the pilot from GN particle damage. The free Tieren, however, opened fire with its machine gun. This attack, coupled with ammunition being fired from the targeted resistance mobile suit was used to distract the GN-XIII before the metal claw was fired from the second Tieren's chest, aiming to seize the enemy GN-XIII by the left arm to prevent it from protecting itself from anymore attacks.

Situation Theme: Arche

Mindful of the heavy GN weapon mounted on the enemy's torso, the Arche's Extended pilot had to be careful not to be caught in the firing arch of the device. Rolling to the right side of the Vardant, the crimson machine was able to avoid the downward stroke of the Vardant's blade, a testament to the pilot's control. Leaning forward, the Alliance created Gundam continued to maintain its speed, whilst holding both its massive blades horizontally to the right. The pair of blades were held in parallel to each other, in order to inflict a pair of slashes onto the right side of enemy machine, as the Arche dashed past on its reddish particle exhaust.

“Do not think this machine is the same as before, Yggdrasil !”

Attacked by both Tieren Space Types, the GNX on the right boosted to its right even more, in a attempt to evade the solid ammunition fired from both unit. Unfortunately, a grappling anchor had unexpectedly found itself on the left arm of the Alliance. Taking advantage of the unexpected attack, the GN-X instead pulled strongly on the metallic cable connecting both machines together, in a bid to pull the blocky opponent closer. Ordinarily, the move would not have worked, were the two machines to be in a gravity bound environment. But since both units were almost weightless in space, the move was plausible and unexpected. Just as the Tieren was jerked forward, the GN-X thrusted its heavy lance forward, at the Tieren, before triggering a burst of fire from the inbuild GN machine cannon.

The GN-X on the other side continued its uninterrupted attacks on the damaged Tieren. Pointing its compact GN weapon at the blue unit, the weapon unleashed its twin bursts of red particle shots at the target, intending to further damage the enemy machine.

The blue mobile suit increased its particle emission and climbed over the impending metal swords, performing an effective back-flip which allowed the sharpened edges to sail on by below without actually harming the resistance faction member. Now with his chest parallel to the plane of what would be the "ground", Eugune charged forward in his opponent's direction. The metal sword in his right hand was extended out to the right as the blue Vardant passed on by his adversary's right side, followed by swinging the metal sword carried in his left hand in a horizontal manner with the intention of cutting into the Gundam's back once the Yggdrasil mobile suit had arrived behind its adversary.

Meanwhile, the Tieren was pulled by by the GN-XIII by surprise but managed to protect itself from the impending particle beams. Once the distance had been closed, the metal sword fixed on its right arm was thrust forward with great might into the enemy's chest. As that battle continued, the other Tieren was distracted by its own opponent. It continued to block and elude the beam projectiles to the best of its abilities, but the pilot was losing his stamina and fast. Another round of machine gun ammunition was fired at its distant foe but that was all he could muster on short notice.

Upon realizing that Vardant had evaded his flyby attack, the Extended ceased the Arche's forward motion, returning the crimson machine to its upright position. Observing how the enemy commander had backflipped a distance away, and was now mirroring his earlier attack. With little time remaining, the Arche darted to its left side, while still facing the enemy unit. Not unexpectedly, the blue mobile suit had another attack up its sleeve. But the Arche could hardly be said to be caught off guard. Swinging its massive blade horizontally, the GN buster sword clashed with the enemy weapon, resulting in a brilliant display of lights. Taking advantage of the situation, Lincoln had the Arche swing its other hand held weapon upwards, in an attempt to sever the right arm limb of the Vardant.

With a deft twist of the GN-X's wrist, the metal sword thrust by the Tieren was easily deflected. Having obtained a opening in the Tieren's defenses, the Alliance mobile suit darted in, its GN lance at the ready. Upon reaching the optimal distance of using its lance, the GNX lunged forward, thrusting its GN weapon to the torso of the enemy mobile suit.

The left GNX, realizing that its partner was in peril, moved to intercept the attack from the other Tieren. Bringing up its defense rod, the GNX was able to neutralize the enemy attack. Having successfully defended its partner, the GNX once again went on the offensive, firing a burst from its hand carried weapon

Upon seeing that the Gundam had survived the attack, the right hand was dropped and flexed in order to raise its metal weapon to prevent his opponent from slicing through him. The two metal armaments rubbed against each other with great force but neither seemed to move in any direction. Pushing back and away from his foe, the blue mobile suit fired its hyper cannon at a close distance with the aim of tearing through his adversary's body and cockpit in order to slay the pilot in a single blow. Meanwhile, the Tieren did not seem to be doing very well against the more advanced GN-XIII. The once-leading mobile suit pilot was struck down by a flurry of particle beams which proceeded to tear the metal figure apart limb by limb, leaving it powerless against the military force. The only remaining Tieren succeeded in eluding the metal lance by moving to the left in a sharp manner before delivering its large projectile launcher into his adversary's chest and firing two highly explosive metal rounds at the GN-XIII from point-blank distance.

Having his attack countered by the enemy weapon, the Extended was not pleased with the chain of events. This battle was starting to take too long for his liking, even though one of the enemy bodyguard units had been disabled. And now, the enemy Vardant was proving to be a most difficult opponent, even though it had not deployed any of its remote weaponry as of yet. Having parried his blow, the Vardant retreated backwards, while firing a heavy particle beam from its concealed torso firing port.

Increasing particle output, the Arche rose rapidly over the heavy beam, despite its bulk, before darting forward towards the enemy mobile unit, scattering crimson particles in its wake. Sliding both GN buster swords onto their respective under forearm rails. the Arche grasped the handles that appeared, before both blades split open to reveal the GN beam rifle barrels concealed within. Pointing the two weapons towards the blue mobile suit, before the Arche unleashed a flurry of accurate particle fire at the enemy's torso. If the Extended was fortunate enough, one of the shots would disable the enemy heavy weapon, making this battle somewhat easier and in favor of the Alliance unit

The tenaciousness of the enemy pilot was to be admired, even though it mean trouble for the Alliance pilot. Mirroring the enemy machine's shift to the left, the GN-X attempted to avoid the two projectiles. But limited by the grappling anchor, its motion was slower than usual. Thus the first round detonated against the GN-X's right arm, taking off the limb at the shoulder joint, along with the hand carried lance. The second round, left with nothing to impact against, passed by the space vacated by the destroyed limb. Rotating its head, the damaged GN-X tracked the enemy Tieren, before firing at the blocky machine with its head mounted GN vulcans.

The other GNX, bereft of a target, turned to helped its beleagued compatriot. Darting in from the left side of the Alliance GN-X, the crimson mass production machine darted in, with GN beam saber drawn and ignited. Bringing the beam blade down, the GN-X cleaved through the chain linking the two machines together. Point its GN rifle at the torso of the enemy unit, the GN-X fired at point blank range, leaving the enemy unit no time to evade at all.

The blue mobile suit accelerated away from the impending particle beams, saving itself from its own demise. "You'll have to do better than that to defeat the likes of me, Gundam!" The mobile suit pilot assured, confident in his ability to defeat Celestial Being. His mobile suit folded its wings across its body, protecting it from the beam projectiles that could not be eluded and leaving it unharmed and able to fight the red mobile suit Gundam. "I'm through with playing around. Let's go, fangs!" He shouted, releasing up to ten remotely controlled metal swords that were hurled towards his adversary at lightning-fast speeds. This first attack was uncoordinated but still very dangerous to deal with.

Meanwhile, the only remaining soldier had finally been defeated. Too many particle beams surrounded him, forcing him to take all of the damage that had been delivered onto his mobile suit. An explosion ensued but fortunately, nobody was killed. The carcass could no longer move and could not put up a fight any longer, leaving the forming satellite unprotected.

”You will not escape today, Yggdrasil !” Lincoln yelled, as he pursued the enemy commander unit. However, the Vardant was finally forced deploy its remote blade weaponry, which faced the Arche and launched themselves towards the Alliance at great speed. Activating his own remote weaponry, ten small dagger shaped projectiles were ejected from the Arche's armored skirting. Darting forward, the ten projectiles each targeted one of the enemy blades, before firing a single condensed GN particle shot at the offending device, intending to fully destroy them before they could harm the crimson unit.

However, Lincoln maintained his aggressive combat style, intending on destroying the enemy machine here and now. Unwilling to let the Vardant have a single moment of respite, he sought to divest the enemy machine of its protective mantle. Taking great care to target the joints of the enemy mantle, the GN launcher on the right shoulder of the Arche rotated into position, before briefly charging up and rapidly producing four long firing heavy beams in succession.

Having neutralized the two bodyguard units, the pair of Alliance GN-Xs propelled forward. Seeing as how the Arche was busy fending off the enemy Vardant, the two units took the initiative and aimed their GN firearms at the unknown component. Each GN-X dispensed a number of brilliant red particle shots, aimed at the inert device, fully intending to reduce the item to scrap metal.
