I looked around the courtyard with my mouth wide open. To say that I was surprised to see my crew here after the crash is was an understatement. I could recognize some of my field commanders and a couple officers that were onboard "The Ram".

I scanned the crowd of soldiers to see if any of my team were amongst them, but It was too crowded for me to see. While I was looking amongst the crowd, I heard a loud gasp from beside me. I looked and was surprised to find one of my field Grunts. I knew this Grunt. His name was Tyler Maze. I fought with him a couple times on some of the ground battles in the frontier.

He stood there with a bag of ammo slung over his shoulder and a shotgun in his other hand. I smiled and waved.

"Alex?!" He exclaimed. As soon as he said my name, all the people in the courtyard froze. They looked over to the sound and were met by the sight of me. They all looked either surprised, happy, or both. I barely got a word out before the mass of militia soldiers dropped what they were doing and rushed me.

All of my of my crew ran up to me cheering. I was overwhelmed by the applause and all the different handshakes. I even had some of the grunts hug me while I was distracted. I think I had a few tears in my eyes. I was very relieved to know that my crew had survived.

The crowd had started to lighten up and I was given some space. I heard the clopping of hoofs behind me. I turned around and saw the Princess smiling while holding my helmet in her magic grip. That shit still freaked me out.

"How did my crew end up here?" I asked. The princess chuckled and floated my helmet to me.

"I saw them falling from the sky and I sent my guards to investigate. They reported to me they found your crew and I asked them to be brought here. It would have taken forever if those wonderful flying machines of your weren't functional." she said. I looked down at my helmet. I couldn't help but smile. I then heard a grunt say something from behind me.

"Uh, Captain? There was a complication with the landing. We had ten ships when we abandoned ship, but now we only have nine ships. We think that the blast from the ship may have interfered with the course of the last ship." The grunt informed. I was a bit surprised by the new fact. I still had missing crew. And right now I was viewed as captain since I'm the highest ranking officer.

"Well ah'll be. If it isn't the crazy killer herself." I heard a deep voice say in a familiar country accent. I turned around and was met with the sight of one of my team members. I recognized the messy brown hair and eyes along with his signature mechanical left arm. I also recognize his specific burn mark on the left side of his face. I smiled and walked up to him.

"Joseph Antares. You are a sight for sore eyes" I chuckled. I walked up to him and brought him into a tight embrace. He returned it. We stood there for a couple seconds before we let each other go. I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. Joseph was one of my team members on the field. He was my Holo-Pilot on the Team. He was known as the comedian. I resisted the urge to cry. I was just happy at least one of my team survived. I tore my eyes away from him and looked around.

"Is there anyone else?" I asked, still looking around the area. Joseph nodded his head happily. He brought his mechanical left hand up to his ear and pressed a button on his communicator.

"Hey, Christian, Alex is here. Come to the doors." He said into his communicator. Not a second passed before I heard loud thumping coming this way. I looking at where the thumping was coming from. The thumping soon became loud banging and heavy footsteps. I looked in udder horror as I saw a Legion Titan move its way through the crowd.

The titan was jet black colored and had a picture of skulls coving its front. I walked over to me and knelt in front of me. The cockpit opened and I was met with the sight of another member of my team. He had short brown facial hair and eyes. His brown hair was buzz cut and looked very greasy. He stepped out of the cockpit and stared at me. I stared back.

An uneasy silence filled the crowd. No one said a word. We stared at each other for what seemed like years. I couldn't help but chuckle. I smiled slightly. He also began to smile. Before we knew it, we were both roaring in laughter.

"Ha! I beat you Captain!" He laughed. I shook my head still trying to control my laughter. I walked up to him and hugged him.

"I suppose you know these two individuals?" I heard the Princess say behind me. I let Christian go. I turned around and Looked at Celestia, nodding with confirmation.

"I don't suppose you haven't met them Princess?" I asked. The Princess shook her head. I smiled.

" Well this one on my left is Christain Calibur. He is a Cloak-pilot on my team and he is the one who Pilots the Titan behind me, EX-7251. On the team, we just call him EX-Calibur." I explained. The Princess nodded and bowed out of respect. Christain bowed back.

"This one on my right is Joseph Antares. He is my Holo-Pilot. As you can see, he lost his arm. He is the one who drives the Ronin Titan, G2-4261, also known as Gus. These are two of the three other members on my team." I said. I then realized that there were only two of them here. I quickly turned around and looked at Joseph, slightly panicked.

"Where are the others?!" I said worriedly. Joseph sighed and put a hand on my shoulder. I can see the look in his eyes. Something went wrong. Something happened to the rest of my team.

"I'm sorry Alex, we don't know where the others are. We think that whatever happened to you happened to them. We think they may have been separated on different areas of the continent. The last dropship has also gone missing on our scans." He said sadly. I couldn't help but feel guilty. I had just lost my team and some of my crew. I failed the Captain. I couldn't save them all.

"Are you alright?" I heard the Princess say behind. I nodded. I looked at Christian. I may have lost some of my men, but I was not going to lose the rest.

"Christian, status report. What do we have?" I ordered. I made my way through the crew. "Come on everyone. Gear up and check supplies. I want camp set up here in five hours." As soon as I gave the order, everyone started moving. They all went to their duties and carried out my order. Christian, Joseph and Celestia caught up with me and we started walking throughout the courtyard.

"Captain, right now we have three titans combat ready and one row of Spectres. We have a platoon of grunts and a squad of officers. Our munitions are limited with basic rifles and anti-Titan weaponry, but other than that we don't have much." I listened carefully while observing the crew putting the camp together. Basically, we don't have much means of putting an offensive. I could only wonder how much stuff the IMC had saved.

"What do we know of the IMC troops that survived?" I asked. I looked ahead and saw the Titans. I started making my way over there.

"Right now, we don't know much. We think that at least ten Titans survived and a whole Company of Grunts and enemy Spectres." I groaned. How did so many survive?

I made it to the titans. I looked at Christian's Titan. His Ronin was much different from the basic model. For one, his titan had more armored plating than a regular Ronin chassis. His quad rocket Primary was also advanced. Able to shoot a flurry of missiles in quick succession. Looked at my titan standing next to the Ronin. She was standing at attention, ready for my next orders. I then heard heavy footsteps from behind me. I turned around.

I was met with one of the Grunts running at us. He looked like he was in a panic. The grunt stumbled to a stop as he doubled over in a fit of harsh coughs and wheezing breaths.

"Cap...Captain" he managed to blurt out." we received a message... from one of the ships! They survived! They're in trouble!" He gasped. My eyes widened in surprise. The missing ship made it!? I looked down at the grunt.

"Soldier, get all the squads together. We are moving out, NOW!" He saluted and ran back to spread the news. I looked over at my team members.

"Get equipped and get everything ready. We are moving out in thirty!" I ordered. They both nodded and went to prepare the men. I looked over at Celestia. She looked like someone had just slapped her and told her to wake up.

"Princess, I know this a bit much to ask, but can we have your help? Your ponies know the land. It would help with navigation and support." I asked. She nodded.

"Of course, Captain. I will assemble a group of volunteers to aid you." I nodded smiling. I walked towards the camp. I heard Celestia calling out to me from behind.

"What is the plan, Captain?!" She asked. I slid on my helmet.

"We fight"
