Mid UC 108
Olympus Mons Capital, Mars
Thrones Stadium


The streets were consumed with people, banners and slogans. The Mobile Suits of the United Empire of Mars did fly bys over the crowds in the streets. Banners of the Empire waved in the martian winds. Bordering them dancing in majestic flaps was the banners of the ruling sovereign family- Minagoroshi-Hollingberry. The throngs of pro-Minagoroshi and by that fact Supreme Sovereign Sakata had turned out in droves for Empire's Dawn Day a three-day celebration of the anniversary of the subjugation of the Martian Warlords by the Minagoroshi and the establishment of the Unified State of Mars. In previous years the celebration was limited to Olympus Mons, the seat of power of the Minagoroshi, but with the conquest of the Jovian Helium Colonies now the Jovian Protectorate, a new wave of nationalist fever plagued the entire planet. People flocked from even the remote Martian Plains to the grand cities to celebrate the growing strength of the Mars under the leadership of the newly crowned Queen Rose and her husband the Supreme Sovereign Sakata Minagoroshi.

"For Mars! Until the end of Star!" the people continued to cry out. Others shouted the name of the their Queen calling her "Holy Rose!" and many others shouted "Glory to the Supreme Sovereign!" Slogans all manufactured but adopted by the people and repeated like hymns. Soon the crowds were parted and the main avenue to the venue of celebrations- the towering Thrones Stadium- was revealed. Pouring out of an armoured vehicle, ornately dressed officers carrying banners of the Minagoroshi and Martian Empire began to assemble and the flood out in filed marching patterns. The people cheered and moved about. But, not all came to gather for the glory of the Supreme Sovereign. Some had gathered to protest. In an alley way near by the main avenue to Thrones, a group was being assembled to protest the current popularity of the Sovereign over the rightful ruler the queen. They held each others hands and the older of them, a man probably in his late forties began to speak to the group. "Your Holiness Queen Rose, please grant us victory in defeating the vile snake who has usurped your throne and taken power behind a curtain of evil. Please oh holy mother and Queen of Mars. TO battle my brothers and sisters."

The almost religious sermon was product of a new underground anti-Sakata faction styling themselves as the Queen's Crusade, they fanatically believed that more power should be given to the Queen and they also held a more cult like faith that the Queen was a Newtype Saint sent to save them. They gathered their weapons and placed them, in bags. They had for months planned their terrorist attack. They knew the exact route the Supreme Sovereign's lemo would be taking and there they would strike. As they gathered to leave, there was a knock on the door. The group stopped one slowly approached the door. They had assumed most left for the celebrations. The man wearing a feigned mundane voice called out, "Yes may I help you." as you looked through the door hole. What he say made him draw a deep gasp and spin to warn his comrades but before he could do so, a storm of bullets ripped through the door and then blasted the man apart. The rounds of that punched through the door were big and designed to tear flesh. The group panicked and the door was kicked down. As the black armored mean entered screams and bloodshed followed.

Inside, gas masked and red glowing eye armoured soldiers gazed at the group they slaughtered. One remained living, barely, his arm had been destroyed by the rounds of the assault rifles the soldiers carried. The man was breathing heavily with tears running down his face mixing with the blood stain into his neck. His eyes were fixated on one thing, the army patch on their chests, a horned skull with a white cross. These were the Soveriegn's Knights the newly formed Armed Personal Guard and Secret Police of the Supreme Sovereign Sakata. The Knight's took the man and vanished into an unmarked armoured black van. One of the Knight's connected a line through the built in communicator in his helmet to his superior. "Major Vish. We have completed the operation sir. Yes sir the rest were dispatched sir, we are now rendezvousing with Black Tiger team. Yes Sir, we will alert the others as well, these terrorists wont get away with this. Yes Sir, Glory to the Sovereign, over and out."

What should we do Mr. 3rd Seat." That was the question, wasn't it? Though, the Queenguard was technichally a Royla Guard unit, they were also devout followers and believers of the Zanscare faith. Not a single person would've dreamed that the Queensguard was part of this 'Cult".
POnce such follower was extremely outspoken towards the injustices that occured in Mid 108 of the Universal Century calender. That man was and extremely proud follower of the Queen Movement, the 3rd most influential in the unit. His name is Tenji Tadamadko, the Queen's Lion.

"We can't make a move yet, that bastard Sakata's already put us behind schedule." Tenji replied back on the communications suite, ."How goes development of the Monile Suits the BESPA company has been developing?"

"So far, there's only been a handful of the Zoloats and Godzorla that have been produced." the unknwon voice replied.

"They've been delivered to their respective storage facilities. There's not a chance they'd find out."

Tenji's eyes narrowed as he became less then amused with that statement. His fingers began to stap the desk he was setting behind. His irritation grew fierce enough to where he cut the other end of the phone line off. "See to it that they don't find out, untl we're ready to move."

"Very well, sir!" The voice replied back. Before tenji hung up on them. This was a very tough time, if they were caught,surely something would happen to them and Sakata would use this to entirely seize control of both the Mars and Jovian Spheres. Tenji couldn't let that happen, not with out a fight.

"We'll have to do something about your knights won't we Mr. King"

Turning off his phone with a press of one of the buttons, a large man with a robust moustache leaned back in his large arm chair. The bald headed official adjusted his black and stark military uniform before pushing himself off his chair. This large bleak looking fellow was the commander of the special guard to the Supreme Sovereign the Soveriegn's Knights. His name is Jurgen Vish, an old friend of Sakata and one of the backers that launched the Minagoroshi into power, he ahd risen up the ranks to command his own unit. His bushy eyebrows clenched together at the centre of his face as he pondered over the report of the slaughter of the terrorists. He grumbled a deep sigh, "Those damned cultist are going to give me a splitting headache. We should deal with them more sooner than before."

Suddenly his pondering was interrupted by a young woman dressed in administrative uniform. Major Vish turned and jestured her to speak. She saluted and replied, "The Sovereign's procession has begun its departure to the stadium Major, all team's are converging on his position." Vish nodded and then replied "And what of her Majesty and her Queensgard?" The woman looked down her notes and continued, "Her Majesty and her Gaurd are making their way to the Stadium as we speak. Her procession left earlier than his excellencies." Vish pulled at his moustache, "Have Tiger and Dragon teams mirror her majesty's procession...We wouldn't want any, distractions." Vish said with a menacing glare. The women saluted and left his chambers.

Meanwhile, the skull shaped gas mask soldiers of the Sovereign's Knights had converged on the Sovereign's car which had slowed to a parade speed. The Knights marched in a elaborate decoration in their armour with their equipment echoing each menacing stomp of their steel bottomed boots. The crowds cheered and chanted the Sovereign's slogans. The Queen was further ahead and she as well was greeted by cheers and roses tossed by her limo. As both processions entered into the large Thrones Stadium, trumpets aided by their connection to the microphones connected to giant speakers announced their entrance. As the cars pulled into the paths marked on the grounds of the stadium, out emerged the Queen of Mars- Rose Hollingberry and the Supreme Sovereign Sakata Minagoroshi. Cameras from news stations all over Mars, Deimos, Phobos, The Jovian Protectorate and even special guests news crews from the Earth Sphere had been invited. The entirity of Martian Empire had arrived. Mobile Suits did fly-bys leaving red and yellow trails of smoke.

As the Queen to her seat, Sakata remained upright and he looked down at the crowds he raised his hand in a wave and the giant image of him projected on enormous screens mimicked his movement. The crowd reacted in a giant cheer. As the rest of the Minagoroshi family, including Sakata's and Rose's twin children Nariko and Himiko made their way to the seats, the crowds began to chant.

"SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN!"

Beware the snake
Slithering dangerously
Duplicitousness


Rose Hollingberry was a youth who lived on Mars from the moment it began. She was a young child who was filled with many dreams, and let her ambition guide her. Though while she marveled those around her with her bright mind and brilliant aura, she was but an innocent child. Even when she had embarked on her journey to lead Mars, her innocence remained.

Then she met a man -- a dangerous one at that. Sakata Minagoroshi, a man whose intelligence was terrifying. She became attracted to his abilities, finding herself believing that he would be the most reliable man she would ever have the chance to meet. She had put her faith in him and even agreed to marry the man, despite some worried comments from some of her colleagues at the time.

Vicious fangs sink in
Reptilian eyes amused
Its body constricts


She had married this man. She observed him over the years. She loved him. She noticed the love he had for her seemed one-sided.

In the end, she was but an innocent little girl. Perhaps if he wasn't her first love things would have changed. She might have not been blind to the sheer duplicity that clearly motivated his intentions. She couldn't help but keep believing, even though she had become a willing hostage.

Rose had taken it upon herself to carry on the Martian leadership. She had a grand vision in mind and she wanted to ensure Mars was the most prosperous nation. While she was called Queen numerous people, she didn't want to turn Mars into a Queendom. She wanted it to remain as it was in her mind. A unified nation with everyone working together and not blindly following one leader.

Though she had been swayed by Sakata. His brilliance and sheer intelligence was something she felt she could lean on. It comforted her, being able to rely on someone other than own two legs. So she listened to him, to the choices he made, and supported him along the way.

You are paralyzed
Addictive poison consumes
The light quickly fades


As Rose took her rightful seat above the crowds that had gathered, a feeling of dread fell upon her. Though her practiced smile remained the same and her eyes seemed to show nothing but joy, she felt that there was something wrong. She wasn't a Newtype, but the primal sense of danger simply from being a human remained -- it made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

The crowed cheered, she watched patiently. Everytime they chanted and cried out, she could almost feel her own life fading. Though in her innocence, she continued to believe. She wanted to believe in this man that she had chosen to marry, to lean on the strength that she had been so very fond of.

But was this truly the Mars that she wanted to see before her? This almost fanatical group that seemed to chant like pre-programmed drones?

Beware

As the cameras of the Martian, Jovian and Earth Spheres trained on Sakata's position the cameras captured the chanting of the crowds.

"SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN! SOVEREIGN!"

Sakata raised his hands and the people slowed to a hush. Crunching his left hand into a fist he began to speak. His deep voice elbowed and then cracked into higher volume like thunder.

"Today!", his voice echoed around the stadium "We celebrate the founding of this nation, this EMPIRE. Twenty-three years ago my father Yoku Minagoroshi and his allies subdued the various Martian Nobles who wasted the planet's resources to further entrench themselves in the weak realities they had constructed for themselves as self-proclaimed rulers. But, now! Years later! I, Sakata Minagoroshi, Supreme Sovereign of Mars with the blessing of her majesty the Queen of Mars Rose Hollingberry have taken this rust hued land and made it the capital of an EMPIRE!." Sakata finished with his fist punching through the sky. The large holographic image of him mimicked his movements. The crowd roared as a reply.

"With our combined might, Jovians were freed from the tyranny of the Jovian Helium Lords and formed into their own governing protectorate. Under the watchful eye of Mars I am certain they will prosper! Our Helium fleets dominate the lanes and our deep-space explorations pull resources from the farthest reaches of humanity! WE, THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF MARS, ARE THE TRUE PIONEERS OF HUMANITY IN SPACE. WE ARE A NEW KING OF HUMANITY! One who has adapted to the far flung wastes of the void and the alien landscapes which people of the Earth Sphere can only dream to experience!"

"This Empire, is ruled by three people, THREE THRONES. The Queen at the top, the Sovereign as her loyal servant and YOU THE PEOPLE! You possess the greatest power, the power of will of Mars. Your demand for new glory, resources and power is what drives us into a bright future. USE THIS POWER! FOR FROM NOW ON THE UNITED MARTIAN EMPIRE WILL ONLY SEEK TO ADVANCE ITS PLACE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM! WE CANNOT BE STOPPED AND SOON OUR REACH SHALL EXPAND TO THE STARS BEYOND US!"

"GLORIA MARS! VICTORIA ROSE!

The crowd repeated the Supreme Soveriegn's chant and they also chanted the names of the Queen in unison. The people of the United Martian Empire had made themselves known to the whole solar system. And as Sakata watched the masses chant he dark smile broke across his lips. A face that conveyed true terror of the potential of Mars.

The way the crowd chanted disturbed something within the back of her mind. It was a feeling she had set aside for a long time in order to pursue the interests of her naive curiosities. As she listened to his speech, her mind embraced the reality of the situation. This really wasn't the Mars that she wanted top create. This was an empire, something that she honestly didn't want. Rose wanted a Mars to be powered by the strengths of every individual -- where they had a leader to guide them rather than one man holding all the power.

That's how this was anyway -- one man.
Not a king and a queen.
Just a king and his figurehead bride.


Rose Hollingberry wasn't a woman who was going to merely bow down. If there was a time for her to cement her remaining influence, it would be now. Amidst the cacophonous cheers from the crowd, her name was praised as well. Whether Sakata liked it or not, he certainly made an enemy this day. If he was aware of it, then that's fine. Rose was used to fighting a battle where the element of surprise wasn't on her side. A frontline battle was more of her style anyway.

That's right.
It was a classic battle.
One villain, one heroine.


She rose from her seat and placed her hands in front of her dress, one overlapping the other. Her feet moved her forwards a few paces, eyes closed and head pointed down in a very humble manner. She positioned herself beside Sakata, and stopped for a moment. As the crowd's cheers seemed to grow louder once she had risen, she merely brought her right hand up. Those that gathered here today slowly grew silent, their raucous and disharmonic cheers dying away. This was her power.

Her eyes opened slowly, and she looked at the crowd before her. The silence that had fallen upon them was a sharp change from what had filled the air just moments ago. Once all had been still and the only thing that remained were the gentle buzz of the atmospheric fans and the cameras focusing on her, she brought her hand down. She didn't look at Sakata or anybody in particular, just to see their reaction to her actions. She remained focused on the one thing that mattered most to her -- the people of Mars. It mattered not to her if they were loyal to her husband or if they were loyal to her.

"My people." She began, her hands placed in their resting place in front of her dress. "I must thank you all for your unwavering support through all these years. Were it not for your trust in me, we would never have acheived such glorious feats in these recent years." The lights moved slightly, the provide more of a spotlight on her. While she was very ambitious and had stricken a fear into the hearts of those who challenged her and her authority, it was well-known that she had a softer side as well. As the cameras focus on her and as people gazed upon her, they could one of her many faces. A peaceful, gentle woman who meant every word. No ulterior motives. Nothing but purity emanating from her -- a sharp contrast from Sakata own aura.

"Let us celebrate our achievements together." She smiled, opening her arms to the crowd in a welcoming embrace. "Think of me not as simply your queen, but your friend." She brought her left arm down, and extended her right arm toward the crown. "Let us bring Mars through whatever trials may await us in the future together. Mars was founded on the power of its people, not merely through one man alone. That is the source of our strength, as Martians, to combine our efforts and achieve great things together." She brought her arm down and placed it on her chest as she looked directly into the main camera. "I, Rose Hollingberry, will pledge myself to preserving and protecting Mars. Will you, my people, join me in my cause?"

The crowd erupted into a chorus of cheers. Not simply just biased chants for the Sovereign or their Queen, but a unified cheer towards improving Mars as a whole. Every Martian here yearned to see their nation grow, and at their core that is what they wanted. It would be in the trials ahead that would determine whether or not they really would stay unified or simple split into two -- and that was a nightmare Rose hoped would never happen.




"Well played Mrs. Hollingberry." Commented an amused man after hearing her speech. He was positioned in a secret tunnel beneath the celebrations, one unheard of by Sakata's ears. He moved from his chair and walked over to a table where a few individuals sat down playing poker. The dim light from a hanging light cast itself upon his person, revealing his signature purple hair and his sharp face.

"Commander, your orders?" One of the men at the table asked, placing their cards down in front of them. It was a royal flush -- and he had won the jackpot. A series of groans from the rest of the men who had gathered here could be heard as they frustratingly set their cards down as well.

"By now, Sakata's men have more than likely made their move. It won't be too long until we're discovered." He commented, looking towards the radio he had heard Rose's speech from. "We wait until the last moment we're forced to abandon this place. We have to just put our faith in lady luck just a little while longer.

Much of his unit sat attentively before the screen as they watched their sovereign and queen pontificate on the greatness of the Martian Empire. Lincoln sat towards the back, also watching attentively, but there was something in the back of his mind that alerted him to potential disaster. This feeling was given credibility due to his career behind the controls of a mobile suit and the countless times his "feelings" have saved him from certain rather spectacular death.

But how can that be? Lincoln thought to himself. Surely the people want peace? Surely there can be no resistance to that goal.

Yet it was there and Lincoln's left eye twitched involuntarily.

Much of his unit was ordered to perform aerial maneuvers over the procession. It was a great gig if you could get it. Being able to fly in peace time and simply enjoy the feeling, perhaps showoff a little, is every pilots dream. But Lincoln was pulled from the detail at the last minute in favor of a meeting with his superior. Who would shout his name perhaps at any moment (He was no doubt also watching the conference in his office.)

Capt. Lincoln Hallas had been a loyal servant of the Unified Martian Front, and now, as the Martian Imperial Fleet, nothing has changed. He would serve to the peak of his ability, and he would do so without complaint. His stern face and quiet nature made him the darling of any commanding officer and this natural personality served his career well.

After 25 kills in operations, he is officially considered an Ace, this would be enough to garner the respect of his men. But his near perfect flying and tactical genius is what people whispered about more. Mongoose became a word uttered in revered tones around the Martian frontier and given the opportunity, it would be uttered in colonized space before long. But for now, it was hollered....

"Mongoose!" the deep growl of Commander Yamomoto. Lincoln cringed as his call sign was screamed from the back offices. Everyone in the room watching monitor turned their heads towards him as his shrugged and moved briskly towards his commander's office.

As Mongoose was called to his commanding officer's quarters, far above the barracks level in a command tower of the army base near Olympus a meeting of generals that commanded the base was being conducted. Seated in a large black leathered chair clad in a black uniform General Gregor Yaz, commander of His Sovereign's Knights MS reclined in his set and rested his fingers together in a prayer like grasp. The quiet humming hisses of his breathing apparatus danced about the room in a menacing melodic swing. When Yaz spoke hsi voice echoed in a metallic shrill and that sent shivers up the spine of his subordinates. I heard from Major Vish, that that Tactical Squads intercepted a group of terrorists who were attached to Code: Omega Conspiracy." Yaz's voice slithered,"We shall have to keep a close eye on proceedings in the capital. What are the statuses of the Knights MS Corps." he finished with an extension of his had gesturing for the others to speak.

A tanned skinned man in a similar black uniform nodded and replied, "Knights Corps are prepared to deploy if need be. If Omega decides to make a move we will be ready for them." Yaz hissed in glee, then rose up from the long dark wood table. "Then you had perhaps get on that Major Sebastian. Get me Commander Yamamoto and Commander Stiglitz. Have their Knights Corps move into the capital and set up a perimeter near key exits and entrances into the city. Be prepared to counter any...military threat that may materialize." Major Sebastian gave Yaz a confused look. "Military threat? Sir?" Yaz turned his head, the dark red lenses that had replaced his burned and scared eyes twitched as the focused on the Major. "Yes Major, I imagine Omega has already infiltrated the Army here in Olympus. Although I doubt her majesty Queen Rose has any part in this, they will rally around her and seek to destroy the base that supports the his excellency the Sovereign." Yaz continued with a more venomous "Hmph. Fools, to think they would joepordize our advance in the Sol System for some petty fantasy of a Newtype Messiah. Pointless idealism such as that must be crushed for it weakens the unity and resolve of the people." Major Sebastian only listened and stared in a frozen pose. "Get to it Major! ON THE DOUBLE!" Yaz spat out abruptly. Sebastian spasm into a salute and ran off to give the command.

Meanwhile, the Sovereign and the Queen, with the rest of the Minagoroshi Family had moved into a convoy that would lead to the administrative heart of the Empire and Olympus Mons. As they did this a group of military personnel were gathering near the building complex in an adjacent barracks. These mean had added white arm-bands to their sleeves and had gave the order for all MS teams to converge on their point. One of them with a white beard and a soft star at his soldiers began to whisper, "Now we will cleanse the Empire which has been tainted by the usurper snake that heads this nation and confines her majesty to the role of a gilded bird. VICTORIA ROSE!" The group chanted the battle cry of her majesty. The Omega Conspiracy was about to begin in full-force.

"So it's finally begun." Yoku mused, hearing the chatter over a radio on the floor nearby. The little ragtag group decided to move the noise away from the game, preferring to focus more on gambling. Plenty of activity could be heard coming from the speakers of the little box and cries and chants for Rose reverberated throughout the room.

One of the men pushed some of his tokens to the center of the table and looked at the others with a stern poker face. "They're jumping the gun a bit, don't you think?" Asked a man with a black baseball cap. He was focusing on the radio chatter just as much as his eyes on the cards in his hand.

"Perhaps." A swish of purple hair and Yoku pulled out a data pad. Dots came to life on a map of the area. Blue spots and red blots moved this way and that. "I suppose this coronation ceremony certainly put them on the edge."

"Ye think so?" This time a man with an aged white mustache had asked. He had also pushed some of his tokens to the center of the table. "It's going to be a slaughterhouse. We gonna do anything about this?" While his words sounded like he might have genuinely cared about the situation at hand, the tone in his voice didn't have a care in the world. It was just as dull as his eyes, revealing nothing to the rest of his opponents.

Yoku leaned to one of his legs, examining the map before him. "We do what we always do. We meddle in the affair of others." He chuckled, noting the pattern on his little device. Transmission signals of friendlies were the blue dots on his pad. Their targets were the red ones. It looked almost like one of those games where your allies were rushing to engage the enemy -- but who was the main character who was going to save them from certain doom? "We have one mission, gentlemen."

The old crew that sat around the table placed their cards face up on the table, leaned against the backs of their chairs, and gave their undivided attention towards Yoku. They looked like a band of disgruntled veterans that were tired of having to join the affairs of the youth. However, the glint in their eyes revealed a sense of excitement within each one of them. They may have been a bit past their prime, but they were some of the best.

"We survive." Two words. It may have sounded rather cliche, but to the history that this band of six had shared it meant plenty to them. They were fragments of the old Martian Military Directorate. They were six men who had fiercely supported Rose Hollingberry in her rise to power. Though in tandem with seeing the ambitious lady achieve her goals, they watched Sakata from the shadows as well. With Rose's charisma rivaling that of Takuma Yatsuma, they expected unrest within the Martian ranks.

Yoku walked back to the table and hovered his hand over the center jackpot pile. He looked to the six around him, meeting their gaze with his. Lazily they leaned forward, like giants waking from their slumber. Their hands moved atop his, and grins crawled across their faces. Even Yoku, who smiled so rarely nowadays bore the same expression. "For Mars."




A cacophany of noise would be heard throughout the city as explosions happened at random military isntallations. They weren't particularly large, but they were disruptive. Those who were fanatically loyal to their new Queen had come out of hiding. Even those who stood within the ranks and the offices of Sakata's military displayed their courage as they went on a rampage. Some of them knew of a premade plan plotted out behind the scenes. The rest? They only knew when they were supposed to pull the trigger and create chaos.

Old mobile suits maintained since Mars' former alliance with Zeon rose from the hangars. Old Geara Dogas armed with their submachine guns and grenade-launching shields thundered within the city. They had speakers mounted all over their white-painted units as their pilots cried out "Victoria Rose!". They made a break for the coronation ceremony's holding grounds, aiming to congregate and rendezvous with the other rebellion members as well.

The band of six would be making their move as well.

“Get in here, Mongoose.” The gruff Yamamoto turned the View screen of the ceremony at the city center on Mute as Lincoln walked into his office. A fan clicked and whirred in the corner of the room, the windows open to the red Martian air.

“Sir!” Lincoln stood up straight as he fixed himself centrally before his commanding officer.

“At ease, Captain.” Yamamoto busied himself with the paperwork before him. Lincoln relaxed and lowered his eyes to meet the work that Yamamoto shifting around on his desk. After a few moments, Yamamoto cleared his throat and picked one of the papers up off the desk and handed it to Lincoln.

“Orders from the top. General Yaz wants you in the Knights.” Lincoln took the papers and perused them in passing. He really didn’t care what the paper said, only what Yamamoto was saying. The sweaty commander cleared his throat then continued.

“Your old squadron will be disbanded and be dispersed into other units to centralize command points. I was told to inform you that your Nightgaunt is to be deployed in the city capital immediately. Make for the…” Suddenly Yamamoto’s jaw dropped and his eye went wide. Lincoln noticed something was wrong when his commanding officer moved several papers off his desk to reveal a remote then pointed at the view screen mounted on the wall behind Lincoln. The sound coming on brought the noise of explosions in the capital.

A familiar news face on the street with a camera reporting on the attacks with footage of what Lincoln recognized as Geara Doga’s, painted white.

“Damned extremists! They’re attacking the sovereign!” Yamamoto cried. Suddenly the whole base shook and yelling was heard outside of the office. Lincoln ran to the door and looked out into the hallway. He was nearly broadsided by a lieutenant with his face buried in a comstat.

“Mongoose! Get your MS in the air NOW!” Yamamoto cried joining him in the hallway. Lincoln instinctively almost took off towards the hangar, but stopped as the lieutenant behind his commander, the one which almost tackled him in haste suddenly had a gun drawn and was aiming it at Yamamoto’s back.

“Victoria Rose!” The Lieutenant screamed.

“Sir! Get down!” Lincoln yelled as he tackled Yamamoto. Bullets sang past their heads. Lincoln pulled his side arm and returned fire down the hall. Not really aiming, the move was meant to force the lieutenant to take cover so that they could do the same. The plan worked and Yamamoto was ushered back into his office.

“Who is that?!” Yamamoto huffed as he sat on the ground, back against the wall next to Lincoln who was doing the same. Lincoln peek into the hallway from the office door just as the assassin fired off another round from the cover of another door frame.

“Looks like Lieutenant Vergas, sir.” Lincoln muttered as his checked his rounds.

“VERGAS!!” Yamamoto screamed in anger over Lincoln’s head. “You sniveling worm! I knew I shouldn’t have approved you for promotion! When this is over, you’re butt and my boot!”

“Sir.” Lincoln said in a calm voice. “I need to get to the capital; can you cover me so I can get to the hangar?”
“It will be my honest to god pleasure, Captain. God Speed.” Lincoln handed his side arm to Yamamoto and waited for his chance.

Yamamoto took a couple shots at Vergas’s position and Lincoln quickly made his way down the hall in the opposite direction of the assassin towards the hangar. As he entered into the large structure he quickly spied a handful of Mobile suits already in active duty preparing to make for the Capital. Suddenly the front of the Hangar erupted in flame and two Geara Doga’s burst through the hangar doors, ripping beam machine gun fire and pumping grenades towards the defenseless suits.

Lincoln ran as quickly as he could towards his waiting ALG-07D Nightgaunt. It’s black paint job with white accents marking this as Mongoose’s MS would once again bring fear to the those who wish to tear down the progress the Martian empire has made. Lincoln slapped his hand on his callsign painting along the side of the cockpit as he climbed up and into the machine. With a quick succession of the clicks and button pressing, his machine came to life under him and the familiar hum of its sensors and engines steeled Lincoln into a monk like fixation for his given task.
Clear the hangar door of hostiles and allow his comrades safe passage towards the capital.

Lincoln strapped into his helmet and connected comstat with the tower. “This is Mongoose, reporting for duty.” He signaled. An onslaught of orders and cries for assistance was suddenly heard through his helmet. Finally, over the chatter a clear voice could be heard. It was Yamamoto, “Mongoose! Engage at will!”

Lincoln thought about his move for a split second then quickly aimed one of his two mega beam cannons straight up. The ceiling above him was vaporized and with a flick of his wrist the main boosters erupted and Lincoln felt himself slammed into his seat as his Nightgaunt maneuvered quickly through the hole straight up. Then with another quick movement, Lincoln positioned himself behind the two attacking Doga’s who were still occupied with eliminating as many of the opposing MS as they could. While his suit hovered, Lincoln aimed his Beam Machine Guns at the unguarded backs of the Doga’s and quickly fired.

The oldsmobile Neo-Zeon team began to attack the central administrative heart of the empire. Inside an armored tunnel beneath the destruction, the Supreme Sovereign sat silently in his transport car. His eyes twitched every time the sudden rumbles of the battle above vibrated the tunnel walls. His fingers clenched over the arms of his seat so tightly the staff seated with him could feel it almost break. Gritting his teeth, the Supreme Sovereign, Sakata Minagoroshi/ let out a violent hiss of rage. "Those impudent little fanatics. I'll kill them all." The staff said nothing. He turned and demanded that General Yaz be placed on a line. An image of the general appeared on a screen attached to one of the arms. "General, deploy all MS Teams spare no one. This treason will not be tolerated." General Yaz nodded and whispered, "As you wish."

Lincoln thought about his move for a split second then quickly aimed one of his two mega beam cannons straight up. The ceiling above him was vaporized and with a flick of his wrist the main boosters erupted and Lincoln felt himself slammed into his seat as his Nightgaunt maneuvered quickly through the hole straight up. Then with another quick movement, Lincoln positioned himself behind the two attacking Doga’s who were still occupied with eliminating as many of the opposing MS as they could. While his suit hovered, Lincoln aimed his beam machine guns at the unguarded backs of the Doga’s and quickly fired.

Lincoln’s shots found their marks and the two Doga’s lurched forward, almost doubling over from the attack. The Doga was a highly defensive unit and it would take more than a few machine gun shots to pierce their armor. Lincoln knew this however and the tactic wasn’t to simply destroy his targets. It was draw them away from the hangar.

Lincoln waited patiently outside the hangar for his opponents to gather themselves before moving an inch. He kept a peripheral view of his charging mega cannons (it would take way more time to charge the Minovsky particles, so the mega cannons aren't going to be ready) and took quick stock of his weapons. With a sigh of relief, the two Doga’s appeared to fall into his trap and immediately turned to confront their new attacker. Strategically, Lincoln knew they were already dead. Their only advantage was surprise, and while they turned toward Lincoln’s Nightguant, the rest of the pilots were quickly climbing into whatever mobile suits remained.

With a crack of thunder the two Doga’s thrusted towards Lincoln’s Nightgaunt to no avail as Lincoln simply blasted straight into the air, dodging projectile fire from their machine cannons. With a flick of his wrist Lincoln fired his fully loaded missiles down onto the Doga’s heads from above. The missiles did their work, explosions erupted around the Doga’s and served to disorient them. Some of the missiles found their target and chipped away at more of the Doga’s armor. There was an eerie silence for a moment as his aggressors wailed about attempting to gain their bearings before machine gun fire and beam cannon erupted on them from the entrance of the hangar. Before long, the was cheering as the two mobile suits erupted in fire and steel.

“This is Monoose. I’m heading for the capitol.” Lincoln said nonchalantly. His voice as cool as ever.

“Roger that, Mongoose. For Mars!” Yamamoto confirmed over the comm.

Lincoln engaged the transformation protocol and the Nightgaunt folded into a tight, sleek machine and rocketed towards the capitol, a twin white contrail seen in the Martian sky was the only evidence of his being there.

It would be a short trip to Olympus Mons, and as Lincoln approached the city, tall black smoke columns rose to meet the red sky. The chatter on the radio was oppressive. The extremists had caught the sovereign with his pants down and opposition was initially incredibly scattered. But, in testament to the Martian military resolve, small groups were beginning to rally and mount considerable defense. Lincoln rumbled over the city in search of any sign of the sovereign when the bright flash of a beam snake plunged through an enemy suit.

"REBELS! I Prince Nariko shall only give you one warning. Cease this futility and I will spare you destruction."

“That looks like my cue” Lincoln smirked to himself. He pushed the controls of his Nightgaunt forward and with a white blast of his thrusters, plunged toward the sovereign’s convoy to aid in the defense. Lincoln gritted his teeth as the g-forces on his body threatened to black him out. On the way towards the action, Lincoln quickly transformed his Mobile suit to attack mode and before hitting the pavement buoyed his thrusters up and pushed his Nightgaunt towards two unawares Doga’s who were fixated on the Prince’s Valiant. Lincoln pulled his two beam sabers and positioned them to his side as he rocketed past the two mobile suits, severing both in half at the waist as he passed by. Lincoln reholstered his beam sabers quickly and hovered before the Prince and his knights.

“Mongoose, reporting for duty.” Lincoln called out over his comm unit. His voice, a unnerving calm as it travelled the air waves.

Unlike Mongoose, Solomon Merkeva had earned no callsign. The man was a recruit, his five years outside of training spent in no actual combat. Stationed along the convoy route, he'd been informed of the insurrectionist ambush by his ground team. First the ambush, and now this had to happen.

His Nightgaunt's reactor was refusing to activate.

Without power, he couldn't even get on the long-ranged comms for aid, let alone launch into combat. He was being denied the chance to enter glorious combat and to serve his Empire by a goddamn reactor. Snarling, the pilot slammed a fist down on the controls.

"Piece of shit, turn on! TURN ON, DAMNIT!"

Almost as if it was convinced by the raging pilot, the Nightgaunt's systems finally flared into activation. The ground team had to scatter as the mobile suit jerked forwards, the pilot heedless of their safety as he kicked into the sky. The suit's legs folded into its main frame as it entered high-speed operations mode, narrowly averting toasting his own technicians on the ground as the Nightgaunt soared towards the action. G-forces kicked Solomon back into his seat, but he didn't care, the heady rush of adrenaline from high-speed maneuvers music to the proverbial ears.

He was a Coordinator, the master genome of Humanity. He could handle this uppity little bastard of a mobile suit.

Wolfgang watched from his Valiant as MS of the Omega Rebels began to pour into the central compound. Wolfgang rested the MS arm of his Valiant on the shoulder of his sister's Nighgaunt, using the physical link to send a clear message. "Erika, mop up those rebels, they're trying to get at the Queen. We knew this day would come! Damn fools are making it worse for her majesty." Erika nodded on and replied, "Yes brother. I'll make sure they don't escape. Her Nightgaunt lifted off and snapped into flight mode. Blasting off into the direction of the main fight.

Sending out a message to nearest pilots Erika commanded them with a domineering voice. "Nightgaunts follow my attack pattern! We'll move in hard and break fast. Then repeat. Ground units move in and send in some suppressive fire, pin them at their positions!" Her nightgaunt then zoomed off and began battering the rebels with beam rounds.

Meanwhile, Sakata and the Queen were overrun in the bunker of the central administration building. MS were hovering above and inside soldiers were in a deep gun fight. Wolfgang's Valaint activated aits beam snake whip and sliced off the head of the rebel MS. For some reason he couldn't kill his own comrades. "STAND DOWN YOU STUPID FOOLS! LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!" No reply back, they considered him a traitor and fired back. Hiss. CRACK. The whip accompanied by beam rifles incapacitated more rebels. "FOOOOOOOOOOLS!" the below of Khorne blasted across the battlefield.

Solomon's fingers gripped his controls tightly, knuckled whitening. This was his calling, what he'd signed up to do. This was his fate, nay, destiny, to cut down the enemies of the Empire. Even at his boosted speed he managed to beat a fist against his pilot suit.

+"Yes, my lady!"+

The Nightgaunt boosted into formation, weapons already charging up. Recruit Merkeva wasn't entirely there, and he intended to leave little of the traitors there either, albiet in a more explosive fashion.
