The dawn of war

[Droid]

ENEMY ACTION

Two of the ten bits belonging to the unit leader exploded in small balls of fire and shrapnel. The remaining eight were commanded to pursue the Realdo that suddenly when on the attack. "Hostile unit attempting combat action. Initiate counter-combat sequences." The commanding unit ordered as he leveled his bazooka at the Realdo and fired a single round at him.

Obeying their commander's orders, the two wingmen launched their own bits and soon the Realdo pilot found himself surrounded by twenty-eight machine gun wielding orbs, all in position and guns hot, awaiting orders to attack. "Fire..." The unit commander stated simply as the autonomous weapons began their assault.

CYPHER'S ACTION

Cypher watched as the Realdo pilot launched in a rage at the three unfamiliar MS. He was not surprised when the pilot suddenly found himself surrounded. He had to help him, it was his job as a Unicorn agent.

"Initiating counter-offensive programs. Autonomous weapon systems have been dispatched." No sooner had Cypher said this, there were suddenly ten machine gun equipped orbs, matching those of the enemies', floating around his Armored GM. "Engage interception protocols." Upon command, the orbiting weapons shot forward and began efforts to destroy as many as the bits surrounding the Realdo as they could.

Quickly identifying the enemy's weakness, Cypher undocked his spear and using his Vulcans to aid in his advance, boosted forward and set his targets on the command unit of the western trio. His intent was to impale the enemy Commander and cause the others to fall into disorder.

[BladeMasterEdgar]

Edgar found himself surrounded by machinegun bits, and sighed. He then noticed the bazooka round, and manuverd around it, letting it sail past him. The next thing Edgar focused on, was shooting higher into the sky, while taking a few hits from the bits and continuing his advance on the enemy. He aimed the rocket launcher on his arm at the middle MS, and shot a rocket towards him. "What have I gotten myself into?" he asked, his eyes drifting from side to side, then back infront of him.

The other trio began their attack on the base, using their bits to attack various structures. Their mission was not to destroy the major buildings, but to do more targeted dammage, taking out communications towers, power lines, and other important systems around them. After a few minutes, they managed to take down the radar tower, and were headed for the main unicorn building.

[Droid]

ENEMY ACTION

The Command unit of the western trio noticed the incoming shell and while ordering his eight bits to intensify their attack on the hasty Realdo, countered the rocket by firing a single round from his bazooka. The two shells impacted in the air, ending each others' existence within a brilliant orb of fire and heated shrapnel.

Without skipping a beat, the enemy commander ordered his partners to fire a single shell from each of their bazookas at the now airborne enemy Realdo. Quickly complying, the other two Death Army units aimed their weapons high and fired while ordering their bits to attack from above and below their opponent in order to restrict his movements in an attempt to prevent his escape.

CYPHER'S ACTION

Somehow able to remain unnoticed by the enemy trio ahead of him, Cypher managed to assault the enemy squad leader with a spear thrust towards his torso. However, the opponent noticed just in time and used his bazooka to block the attack.

The bazooka was sacrificed, but at a severe cost. The supplemental armor on Cypher's left arm was scorched and twisted by the explosion caused when the bazooka was cut in half. His spear was now, in all appearances, useless. A twisted and molten hunk of metal on the end of a long pole. The enemy was not spared from this blast either. Both of the enemy commander's arms were damaged beyond use and his mono-eye, temporarily blinded by the sudden flash of light that emitted from the bazooka blast.

Cypher cared not that his spear was no longer sharp. The twisted wad of metal at the end of his spear's shaft now seemed to serve a more useful purpose as a blunt force weapon. Quickly taking advantage of this, Cypher rammed it into the midsection of the opponent's unit before raising it above his head and bringing it down roughly onto his enemy's head, smashing it and causing him to collapse violently to the ground.

-------------------------

Meanwhile, in the air, Cypher's bits had managed to support the allied Realdo by shooting down ten of the enemies' bits. This was not without losses though. Four of Cypher's ten bits were also shot down in defense of the aerial ally, leaving him with only six friendly bits to aid him in the air.

A ways from the fighting a lone Leo walked along unawares of what was happening nearby. Inside the pilot was fuming as he smoked his third strait cigarette. Though his mission had been a success he barely made any profits after counting the expenses of coming to and from The American continent. As he puffed on his Cig Brad noticed a proximity alert going off apparently something was happening at the unicorn base. "Well I only passed this way to send a coded report of my mission to my contact as I passed by" thought Brad but the in inadequate payment from his last job had left him itching for a fight. And while he "officially" was nothing but a mercenary he knew those under attack were still allies so he turned of the auto pilot and turned his Leo towards the enemy.

As he made his way towards the fighting he saw three of the mobile suits were of an unknown model or at least a model he was unfamiliar with. They seemed to be preoccupied with a Realdo in the sky. except one that was in combat with a Gm drawing his steel rods he held them at the ready and after checking to make sure his systems were set for combat he slowly approached behind the unknown suits. Once within range he fired a rocket from his arm mounted rocket launcher at the back of one of the suits that was focusing on the Realdo and charged at it aiming a swing of his Steel rod at the suit's head.

[BladeMasterEdgar]

Edgar growled as his Realdo shook violently, as the machinegun bits continued to fire on him. He detatched the iron saber and turned around to slash two of the bits, but in return he took one of the bazooka rounds to the back. The mech rocked violently again, and Edgar sighed. He quickly turned back around and thrusted downward toward the enemy mobile suit on the right. As he got closer he aimed his machine gun at the head of the mobile suit, and opened fire.

[Droid]

ENEMY ACTION

Without arms, the enemy commander could not get up and was ordering his subordinates to aid him. However, they were both a tad preoccupied and could not immediately comply with their commander's orders.

The unit to the enemy leader's right was nailed dead-on with the rocket aimed at him causing severe damage to its back and thruster systems. The shock from the blast caused his unit to lurch forward causing the strike at his head to narrowly miss. Now that this new enemy was close, it appeared on his radar.

Quickly rotating around to face the sneaky enemy, the 'pilot' of the Death Army wingman quickly identified his new opponent to be a Leo class mobile suit. Without hesitating, he quickly raised his bazooka and without care, fired his last shell at point blank range at the enemy Leo.

Meanwhile to the left of the enemy commander, his wingman was busy engaging the now emboldened enemy Realdo. The opponent attempted to fire at his head. The Death Army 'pilot' simply raised his arm and allowed it to take the shot, causing the rounds to tear into his arm and inflict some slight cosmetic damage to the armor on the arm.

Once the volley was ended, the 'pilot' quickly scooped his commander up and helped him to his feet. "Apologies for the delay in action, Commander. I was engaged by the enemy Realdo unit and had to defend myself from critical damage to my optical systems." The subordinate paused for a moment. "Commander, we are losing against these three opponents. Since your unit is the most damaged, I would recommend that you activate your unit's self-destruct sequence and force your suit and it's bits into a full boost into the enemy HQ."

The Commander thought for a moment. "I understand and comply." The enemy commander ordered his bits to fall back to his unit and to fire at the front of the Unicorn HQ as he boosted himself full burn at the critical structure with the full intent to smash his unit and his bits into the heart of the building before detonating his unit and his bits.

"We must assist the Commander!" The second Death Army unit shouted as he and his ally ordered their remaining bits to cover their commander's advance on the enemy command building.

CYPHER'S ACTION

Cypher looked around when he downed the enemy's command unit. He spotted a familiar Leo and nodded in approval towards his general direction as the Leo pilot fired a rocket at one of the enemy units before dashing towards it, battle rods drawn. Turning his attention now at the Realdo he was assisting, he saw that the allied unit managed to get back on the ground and in attack range, but not without taking some punishment.

"It would appear that the situation is under control here..." Cypher noted as he turned his Armored GM around. "Beginning interception of eastern enemy attack unit." He stated flatly as he ordered his five remaining bits to scout ahead of him and attempt to slow the enemies' advance down.

-------------------------

Cypher's bits had managed to take out five more enemy bits and only took one more loss to their numbers when they received the order to proceed on an interception course to the eastern enemy trio in an attempt to slow them down.

Boosting off without question, they sought out the opposition.

[BladeMasterEdgar]

Edgar sighed as he watched all of his shots hit the unt's arm. He pressed the trigger again, but no bullets came out. He placed it back on his MS's hip, and launched himself forward, slashing at the mobile suit once he was in range. Then he dashed round the enemy, and aimed his arm mounted rocket launcher towards the enemies right leg, and fired.

[Bozz]

The swing of his Steel rod missed the unknown suit and suddenly the suit fired a bazooka shell at him. Brad reacted instinctively jumping back and firing his shoulder vulcans at the shell. He hit it but it was to close and the resulting explosion peppered the Leo with shrapnel and the shockwave pushed him back. "Well that was a close call, little to close for my tastes" Brad said as he took aim at the same unknown Suit and fired His arm mounted rocket at the suit aiming at the suit's cockpit.

[Usam1981]

((Kuro, you can't claim that your character is keeping the oponents busy, unless your character is actually attacking them. The only time you can do that is if there are NPCs, which there are none at the moment. I will accept the sniper shot, but your other character has to attack to do anything.))

One of the Eastern mobile suits takes the shot from the Sniper attack, instantly attracting the attention of the others. The one that is hit falls back, badly dammaged, while the others direct their Bits towards the direction of the attack, sending all 20 of them after Alexander's mobile suit.

[Droid]

ENEMY ACTION

Without waiting for the smoke from the blast to clear, the enemy unit engaging the Leo dashed froward with his bazooka raised over his head, readied to be brought to swiftly to deliver a smashing blow to the Leo's head. However, the enemy 'pilot' was too hasty and paid for it.

A single rocket, fired from the enemy Leo, glanced off the Death Army's left side. A slight blow it might have been, but that brief contact was enough to trigger the detonation pin in the ballistic projectile, causing the sudden blast to send the enemy hurling towards the Leo.

Impacting with the enemy MS, the 'pilot' of the Death Army quickly used the last of his time to grip his unit's hands around the shoulders before activating the self-destruct sequence and 'ejecting' his programming, causing the Death Army units purple mono-eye to dim and darken.

The now lifeless mobile suit now went limp and hung off the Leo as dead weight as an audible warning was issued from the suit's auxiliary systems. "SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED! DETONATION IN T MINUS FIVE SECONDS! FIVE...FOUR..."

Meanwhile, the Death Army unit being engaged by the enemy Realdo raised its arm again and allowed it to be severed from the rest of his unit, sparing him any seriously critical damage. However, his assumption was wrong as he quickly lost sight of the enemy mobile suit when it swiftly rotated around to his backside.

Trying to keep up, the Death Army 'pilot' swung his bazooka around and attempted to smack the enemy away from him. Unfortunately for him, he was too late and the Union Realdo behind him fired a rocket at his leg, blowing it up on impact and crippling it beyond repair. Collapsing to the ground and dropping his bazooka, the 'pilot' used his boosters to force his unit close to the enemy and managed to grab onto his foot.

Holding on tightly, the Death Army pilot did as his ally did and activated his own self-destruct programs before 'ejecting'. Again, the downed unit emitted it's own warning audible. "SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED! DETONATION IN T MINUS FIVE SECONDS! FIVE...FOUR..."

-------------------------

The allied bits assisting the Death Army command unit suddenly fell to the ground and exploded now that they no longer had a master unit to command them. The blast sent the command unit sprawling into the air before landing roughly just a few meters away from the Unicorn HQ.

Commanding his bits to continue their assault on the enemy structure, the enemy commander attempted to get a little closer to the enemy HQ, but without arms, he could not get up to do so. Finally resigning himself to failure, the 'pilot' opened a comm link to the the commander of the eastern Death Army squad. "Unit Commander Delta to Unit Commander Beta. I have failed the retrieval objectives and my unit has been destroyed. Primary mission objectives now fall to your responsibility. Retrieve the Cypher unit and all data relevant to the Greenlandic G System. Let nothing stop you or get in your way. I am returning to base. Delta out."

Like his two allies before him, he primed his self-destruct programs and 'ejected'. But not before self-destructing his bits against the Unicorn HQ wall, blowing a hole large enough for an MS to get through into it.

"SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED! DETONATION IN T MINUS FIVE SECONDS! FIVE...FOUR..."

CYPHER'S ACTION

Finally making it to the MS hangar the other pilots were in, Cypher docked his ruined spear and undocked his Top Cannon. Taking a knee next to the Leo sniping at the eastern enemy trio, Cypher activated his unit's sensors and began to line up a shot. However, before he squeezed the trigger, he saw a swarm of bits heading their way.

"Everyone needs to lay heavy fire at those incoming enemy bits. Small caliber, automatic rounds, fired in a tight spread would be optimal." Cypher commanded as he lowered the barrel of his Top Cannon and began to fire his Vulcans at the enemy bits, using his sensor unit to tighten his already incredible accuracy.

-------------------------

His bits found their mark. As soon as the enemy unit in the middle of the trio recoiled from the devastating sniper shot it took, Cypher's bits followed up the attack with their own as they quickly darted in and swarmed around the enemy MS like a mass of angry bees, firing their machine guns at various points on the weakened opponent in an attempt to further cripple it, if not destroy it outright.

[BladeMasterEdgar]

"SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED! DETONATION IN T MINUS FIVE SECONDS! FIVE...FOUR..."

This caused Edgar to groan. He began to kick at the enemy with the other leg, trying to get him off. "Let go of my leg.... you lifeless piece of scrap!" During this statement he had managed to break free of the enemies' grasp, and dive away from him. He caught sight of the nearby bazooka that the enemy had dropped, and thrusted in it's direction, picking it up as he went by.

Edgar sighed as he flew into the air, hoping to get as far away from the enemy as possible. "That was close...." he said wiping sweat away from his forehead.

[Bozz]

"SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED! DETONATION IN T MINUS FIVE SECONDS! FIVE...FOUR..."

Acting quickly Brad opened fire with his shoulder vulcans pushing the suit back enough to move his left arm to fire a rocket from the arm mounted launcher at the enemy suit's left shoulder. The close range round blew of the enemy suit's arm but at the same time damaged his own arm and left shoulder. Ignoring the damage to his entire left side Brad used the momentum of the explosive as well as a well placed blow from his Battle rod to knock the enemy suit away just in the nick of time. Even with all the work and damage the resulting explosion shook the Leo and caused Brad to slam his head into the display panel. Wiping the blood from his face Brad pulled out a cigarette and after lighting the cig he looks at the damage readouts before chuckling "Well it looks like I made it. Tho my suit will need major repairs after this. " Before taking another drag from his cigarette.

[Usam1981]

Quickly, the number of Bits in the swarm were reduced in numbers. The Destruction of their bits immediatly got the attention of the two death Army mobile suits, who quickly, took aim with their top canons, and fired a broad side attack directly towards the location of the enemy fire, while peppering the enemy with their remaining, and dwindling, bits.

[Droid]

Moving quickly, Cypher lets his own Top Cannon drop to the ground behind him and, with a little effort, began to rip a decent sized chuck of the hangar floor up to brace in front of himself as a shield, using it to take the two bazooka rounds dead on.

The impact of the bazooka rounds caused the metal plating of the 'floor shield' to buckle and explode, sending shards of metal and bits of concrete flying everywhere. Cypher's unit was sent sprawling backwards and slammed into the hangar wall, causing it to collapse from the sudden shock.

Grabbing hold of a nearby shield, Cypher put it in front of his unit as he manipulated it to get back up on it's feet. Not finding the bits anywhere, Cypher assumed that the blast killed them all and he moved to retrieve his Top Cannon.

Once more taking a knee, Cypher again activated his sensors and again entered sniper mode. Ordering his bits to ignore the now downed enemy they were engaging earlier, he commanded them to start firing on the back sides of the enemy duo to distract them from his primary attack.

After instructing his bits, Cypher leveled his Top Cannon at the Death Army unit on the left. Once his targeting systems went red, indicating a lock, Cypher pulled the trigger and sent a single round screaming towards the hopefully doomed enemy. But should he miss...

"Cannon charge at 53%." Cypher said as he began to prime his shoulder mounted beam cannon.
