As the sound of approaching chaos echoed through the makeshift base of Tekkadan, Mika and Shino were quick to respond. Mika, seated in his Barbatos mobile suit, immediately recognized the impending battle.
"It's started," Mika declared, his voice a calm contrast to the impending violence.
Shino, piloting his Ryo Sei mobile suit nearby, urged, "Hurry, Mikazuki."
Mika glanced at the large containers nearby, each holding a formidable mobile suit katana. His eyes were drawn to another weapon, a mace-like device resting beside one of the containers. Without hesitation, Mika reached for the mace and gripped it firmly.
Turning his gaze, Mika noticed Ogre, Ichiro's mobile suit, also coming to life. Ichiro had initiated its activation.
Utilizing the LCS system to communicate, Mika addressed Ichiro, his voice devoid of emotion but filled with purpose. "Hey, Ichiro. Want the sword? I think it will suit you much more. And Ogre already has one, so why not two?"
Ichiro nodded in acknowledgment. With a deliberate and fluid movement, he reached for the katana within his reach, wielding it confidently in his right hand. Now equipped with two large katanas, Ichiro stood ready for battle. The katana in his right hand was a pristine white, while the one in his left boasted a sleek black design. The dual swords gleamed with the promise of destruction, a testament to their wielder's skill and determination.
With their weapons in hand and their mobile suits ready, Mika and Ichiro prepared to face the impending conflict head-on.
As Barbatos and Ryo Sei drew closer to each other, Shino couldn't help but notice the unusual weapon Mika had chosen. He expressed his surprise, his voice tinged with curiosity.
"You came... What? What is that?" Shino inquired, his eyes fixed on the mace-like weapon Mika held.
Mika, sitting comfortably within the Barbatos cockpit, replied matter-of-factly, "I found it in the container they gave us."
Meanwhile, Ichiro, piloting Ogre, directed Bladwin to remain on standby in the nearby forest, ready to provide ranged support when needed.
Ryo Sei, piloted by Shino, observed the relentless barrage of bombs raining down from the Gjallahorn ships onto the island. Shino couldn't help but comment wryly on the situation.
"They love to conduct a textbook saturation attack," he remarked, noting the sheer volume of explosives being unleashed. The irony lay in the fact that, while these bombs might threaten the island's infrastructure, they posed no real threat to the mobile suits of Tekkadan, ready to face the storm.
.
Akihiro and Bladwin, each in their respective mobile suits, coordinated their attacks on one of the Gjallahorn ships that was relentlessly bombarding the island. Orga's orders were clear: Bladwin would target the left side of the ship, while Akihiro would focus on the right.
With their weapons armed and ready, the two mobile suits unleashed their firepower. Bladwin's shot struck true, hitting the left side of the ship with precision and causing significant damage, roughly 60% of the vessel. In contrast, Akihiro's shot narrowly missed its mark, failing to land with the same accuracy.
Akihiro couldn't help but acknowledge Bladwin's sharpshooting skills, and he commented, "You're a better sniper than me." Bladwin, always eager to encourage his comrades, offered some wisdom in return, "It's all about practice and experience. You'll get there with time."
As Mikazuki communicated with Akihiro through the Local Communication System (LCS), he sought to help his comrade improve his aim. He asked, "You still have the sensation, right? Just follow that and shoot." Mikazuki subtly referenced his own Alaya-Vijnana system, which gave him a heightened sense of awareness and control in battle.
Akihiro, nodding in understanding, replied, "I see." He focused his attention on the dual snipers he held in both hands, preparing to unleash a barrage of shots. Bladwin, impressed by Akihiro's determination and Mikazuki's guidance, let out a low whistle in appreciation.
Akihiro, with determination in his eyes, addressed Bladwin as he prepared to showcase the true power of the Gusion Rebake. "Now you will see the might of Gusion Rebake," he declared confidently.
Bladwin, equally eager to witness this display of strength, responded with enthusiasm. "Yeah, show me what you've got," he said, his anticipation building as they readied themselves for what would be a crucial moment in the battle.
As the two mobile suits stood side by side, they were poised to unleash their capabilities and make a significant impact on the ongoing conflict.
As Azee and Lafter effectively engaged the Gjallarhorn mobile suits approaching from the sea, Shino couldn't help but comment on the apparent ease with which Akihiro, Bladwin, Azee, and Lafter were handling the enemy forces. He remarked, "Looks like Akihiro and the others have got this under control. We might not even be needed."
However, as soon as Shino spoke those words, the situation took a turn for the worse. Bullets rained down on their location from above, creating chaos and forcing them to take cover. The Gjallarhorn mobile suits had deployed a tactical maneuver, descending from the sky using their shields just as Mika and Ichiro had done when they first arrived on Earth.
Shino quickly realized the severity of the situation, and his expression shifted from casual confidence to concern. The unexpected attack from above had caught them off guard.
As the Gjallarhorn forces landed on the concrete field of the makeshift Tekkadan base, they formed an imposing line, with their leader at the forefront. Carta Issue, with her distinctive red head unit and red-accented mobile suit, stood proudly before her troops. They all assumed a Knight's defensive posture, hands resting on their swords, blades planted firmly on the ground. The Gjallarhorn soldiers chanted their motto, "Persistent and fortitudinous," as a display of unity and resolve.
However, before Carta could even finish her declaration, Akihiro took swift and decisive action. With the characteristic precision of the Gusion Rebake's dual snipers, he fired a shot that found its mark, hitting one of the Gjallarhorn Grazes squarely in the skull. Akihiro spoke "I'm allowed to shoot, Right?"
Ichiro spoke ." Of course you are." Ichiro, equally relentless, thrust Ogre forward, its two large katanas gleaming in the sunlight. In a blur of motion, he pierced the cockpits of two Gjallarhorn mobile suits, instantly ending the lives of their pilots.
The sudden and brutal response from Tekkadan caught the Gjallarhorn forces off guard. Carta Issue's confident demeanor wavered as she witnessed her comrades falling in the face of Tekkadan's fierce resistance. Carta Issue, the leader of the Gjallarhorn unit, screamed her frustration, berating the Tekkadan members for their perceived lack of manners. The battle had escalated rapidly, and both sides were now fully engaged.
The Gjallarhorn forces, momentarily shocked by the deadly display of power from Tekkadan, swiftly regrouped and adopted a spearhead formation as they charged toward Barbatos and Ryo Sei. Barbatos, with Mikazuki at the controls, lunged forward, its thrusters propelling it with incredible speed.
Mikazuki's keen eye spotted a weak link within the Gjallarhorn formation, and he chose that individual as his target. Barbatos accelerated, closing the distance in an instant, and then made its move. With a swift and precise motion, Barbatos flipped the unfortunate pilot's mobile suit upward, causing chaos within the enemy formation.
The disoriented Gjallarhorn pilot struggled to regain control as he was launched into the air. Mikazuki wasted no time, swiftly maneuvering Barbatos to intercept the falling mobile suit. With a resounding crash, Barbatos struck the enemy mobile suit, smashing its cockpit and bringing an abrupt end to the pilot's existence.
This decisive action further disrupted the Gjallarhorn formation and sowed confusion among their ranks.
Akihiro and Bladwin continued providing support from the rear, using their rifles to take down Gjallarhorn mobile suits from a distance. However, Akihiro soon realized that his ammunition was running low, and he decided it was time to switch to close combat.
As Gusion Rebake closed in on a Gjallarhorn mobile suit, Akihiro grabbed it with both of the mobile suit's formidable hands. Akihiro couldn't help but express his satisfaction with this style of combat, relishing the opportunity for brutal melee combat.
Akihiro wasted no time; he opened the hatch on Gusion Rebake's back where his additional set of hands were stored. With a swift and powerful motion, he retrieved the massive axe he had kept hidden. The blade of the axe gleamed menacingly as he swung it with precision, cutting through the Gjallarhorn mobile suit's arm and then the mobile suit itself.
The display of power and brutality was so overwhelming that it left the Gjallarhorn enemies stunned. They began to question whether they were facing mere humans or monstrous demons on the battlefield, a testament to the fearsome reputation of Tekkadan's warriors.
