“Carl, cover me,” came Commander Murphy’s voice, “Eliard, move forward.”
“Roger that.”
Eliard accelerated by the mobile armor form of the Asshimar Kehaar. He felt the G’s as he kicked off.
Nonetheless, he was finally getting used to it, the bucking bronco that was the Hazel II. As he grew accustomed to it, the thrust was promising.
The enemy in front was the Rick Dom.
“Damn old types… Times are different now.” Eliard muttered as he tried to lock on. Just as he did, an alarm blared in the cockpit. Someone else had locked on.
Eliard fired his side thrusters in a panic. Feeling the sharp G-force from the side, the Hazel II moved to the right. A Zaku shot up in front of him.
“Is he insane?” Eliard fired his beam rifle at point blank range. There’s no way he could miss. He scored a direct hit on the Zaku. The pilot was probably helpless.
“Damn, these legs are in my way!”
He heard Murphy’s voice. Looking over at him, Murphy’s Kehaar transformed into mobile suit mode and was about to join the dogfight against the Zaku and Gelgoog.
Eliard moved to back him up. Just then, a sharp turning Kehaar showed up on the monitor. The long protruding leg propulsion unit rotated sharply and was struck against the body of the Gelgoog.
The monitor unit in the head of the Gelgoog was blown off. It showed the shock from the terrible collision. With that one blow, the Kehaar lost all three of its leg propulsion units but the Gelgoog was also destroyed.
The Rick Dom also stopped moving. Eliard intercepted the transmission between the enemy and Murphy.
“Let’s hear your name.”
“Lieutenant Wes Murphy. Earth Federation Forces, Titans Test Team. And you are?”
“Lieutenant Gabriel Zola of the Principality of Zeon. If fate allows us the chance, let’s meet again.”
Leaving a trail of hot gas, the Rick Dom pulled back to the Zanzibar.
