Conflicting Circles Part 1, Luna Conflict.doc

"Tradegy, I lived on an orbit colony and my family was wiped out" Josh said avoiding a missile.

The MHW's where paying little attention to the port and the Ark, they where more heading for the colony cylinder.

 

" Oh I see, I guess you think I lived a very sheltered life compared to you. I mean your guard friends seemed to think me as childish. I understand I guess."
Yjuna said as she wrapped her arms around her knees and pull them in.

 

"My friends have all seen those we care about in pain or death, so yes we do. Even my best friend has had such large tradegy to him and can't even remember it" Josh said as he piloted the transport away from port.

 

" The only thing I ever seen close to that was the death of my childhood friends, their frail lives were taken at the hands of science and there was nothing I could do to help, after all I was just a mere child myself. Watching them degrade day after day, watching their bodies turn pale with sickness. Watching them choke on their own blood while I remained healthy. Even though their faces were exhausted from the illness, I could sense envy amongst them. They envied my survival. Sometimes I wished I died along with them, then I wouldn't be so lost in debt. Have you ever watched those you were closest to suffer slowly?"
Yjuna said as she closed her eyes.

 

After getting prepared Ryo got into the Reaper and got ready to launch

 

Seven launched first so he could go on ahead.

"My friend was a mass production Test Type Super Soldier. He was at the production facility when terroist attacked" Josh said.

 

" Oh I see, I'm sorry. He didn't make it I assume?"
Yjuna said as she rested her eyes on the back of his head.

 

"No he made it, I met him after that, but he had two brothers who didn't make it though. He was known then as MPTT-002 Alistair" Josh said piloting the ship away from the colony.

 

" Oh I see, so where is he? Why isn't he traveling with you? I'd imagine him staying with you."
Yjuna asked curiously.

 

"Last time I saw him we where eleven years old and we lived on Luna 7" He said smiling, thinking back.

 

" Oh then how do you know that he is still alive?"
Yjuna asked him.

 

"Call it a gut feeling" Josh said thinking back to the Blue Striker "I think he killed Alex."

 

Ryo launched after Seven

 

" Hmm strange . . . strange indeed. Maybe so, he didn't kill did he not?"
She said with a grim smile.

 

Seven took a position to the right of Ryo. "It appears those not attacking the Ark are in confusion, what should we do?" Seven asked Ryo.

"I think he may of" Josh said. As they where flying a blue Striker with a long rifle flew up next to them and aimed its rifle at them.

 

"Garrus, get over here. You can let the ship take some hits, the cylinder is under attack." Drake had the message sent to the bridge as well so that they could be informed without him having to repeat himself. Drake cleared out the direct threat of MHWs and then focused on sniping out critical points on the nearby ship.

 

" Oh look, we finally have some company up here."
Yjuna said watching afar from the window.
" Are we going to keep allowing him to fire at us like that?"

 

A blue hound rammed into the Blue Striker and pushed it away from the transport. The Two MHW's flew at each other and started sword fighting, they where even in strength.

"Lets go" Josh said as they flew away from the colony.

 

"Why don't we disable then" Ryo said looking at the enemy "we can't waste time" Ryo said

 

A squad of Hounds headed towards the Ark and transport, skillfully dodging incoming fire as they flew in closer. One of the Empire's battlecrusiers where behined them and destroyed one of the Federation ships that was trying to escape and started heading towards the coalition Transport.

One of the hounds dodged all four shots from the Ark's quad cannons and landed on the Ark's hull infront of Drake and pulled out its sword, as if it was challenging Drake to a duel. The rest of the squad headed Ryo and Seven. One of the Hounds went to slice Ryo with there sword while the other shot at Seven who started odging and trying to put distance inbetween the Hound and his Meangliss. Alistair and the blue Hound where dueling just outside the port entrance. Even though Alistair was in a better machine the enemy pilot was good enough to keep him on the defensive.
