"MARK!!!" Commander Michelle Wayne watched in horror as one of the Gargoyle's extending arm fangs neatly buried its way into the cockpit of Mark Stone's suit. As the fang came back to the Gargoyle, Mark's GuAIZ suit exploded, leaving nothing except a few green pieces of alloy. "You bastard!!" She charged the Gargoyle, firing her beam rifle rapidly. Akira brought up the large arm fangs and used them as shields.
"Sharon, let's hit the guy on three!!" Duncan paused as his targeting system focused on the Gargoyle Gundam, who was currently on the defensive against Commander Wayne's suit. Sharon quickly got into position and aimed her own beam rifle. "Three!!" Both GuAIZ suits fired at the Gargoyle but their shots were intercepted by some of the missiles fired by the Juggernaut to cover his teammate.
"Don't turn your back on me!!" shouted Rachel before she fired her own beam rifle at the Juggernaut. It tried to move out of the way but the shot still hit a part of the suit, rendering the missile launchers useless for the moment.
"Damn you!!" Hugo Namora snarled before shooting again with his double-barreled hyper beam rifles. Rachel couldn't dodge all of the shots and used her shield to do some blocking. The power from Hugo's weaponry overwhelmed the shield and rendered her left arm useless. She swore under her breath and before trying to move back, her sensors indicated the third enemy suit was directly above her.
"You shouldn't have come here, you fool!!" shouted Leo before he went right through Rachel's suit with a beam harpoon created by his VBAW gauntlets. He quickly moved away as Rachel's GuAIZ exploded. Leo quickly contacted his teammates. "That's two down! The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get back to our mission!"
"Leo, heads up!!" shouted Hugo through the radio. Leo quickly noticed both Sharon and Duncan firing their beam rifles towards him. He tried to dodge out of the way but the shots were able to do some damage on to his suit's legs, disabling the quad-shotguns.
"Fuck!! Let's waste them, Hugo!!"

"All units report in," said Commander Dean Blanders before moving his CGUE suit to take out three more missile launchers on the Eternal.
"Martin here. I've taken out some of the Eternal's missile launchers but there's still too many of...ARGH!!!" The transmission of the GINN pilot became nothing but static.
'Shit...Vincent and Martin have been killed. That leaves only four of us left...'
"We haven't been able to find a good weak spot to punch through yet, sir!" reported Martha.
"How the hell were they able to prevent themselves from taking heavy damage?!? I mean, with the shooting from the Starscream and the Pegasus, they should have technically bitten it by now!" exclaimed Todd, the pilot of the second CGUE.
Sandra, the fourth member remaining on the team, spoke up. "You forget that Andrew Waltfeld is on that ship and he knows how to minimize damage when the odds are stacked against him. I wonder what type of tactics are being cooked up in his head..."
Dean issued out new orders. "We can worry about that later. Sandra, Martha...see if you can breach the hull near the Eternal's engines. Todd? You're with me! We're going for the bridge!!"

"I hope DaCosta gets back with that coffee quickly," murmured Andy.
"How can you even thinking of consuming coffee at a time like this?!?" asked Lacus in an astonished tone.
The man gave a small grin. "Whenever I have a good cup of coffee in my system, my head usually clears up and allows me to think up of new tactics. By the way, what's our status?"
"We've lost about half of our missile launchers and the main cannon is offline. Hull integrity on the port side has been weakened. An insane pounding there would probably cause a hull breach," reported an ensign.
"And Kira? How is he?"
"He's currently under fire by the Laurasia-class ship, Miss Lacus. So far, he's been able to disable some of their weapons but I don't know how long he can hold out for," replied another crewman.
"Don't worry your head off, young lady. Your lover will be just fine." Andy gave a small grin as Lacus blushed a bright red.
DaCosta popped back on to the bridge with a somewhat terrified look. "Andy!! The coffee maker in your office dropped to the floor from the impact of the enemy weapons!"
Lacus Clyne slowly backed away as righteous fury consumed the Desert Tiger. "Oh, that's it!! NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!!!"
