A weapon for hire.

Kshatraiya POV

I had moved a lot closer to the ground than i liked, almost into the leo's range of attack. Ali al saachez and its alvaator were floating a bit higher in front of me clearly wary of me while the kampfer had split into two team, three left to assist the aries while seven stayed spread around me weapons ready.

'our stats hacks, also what the hell happened with the radiant wave?!'

'-83% energy left, minor damages on the arms joints and a slightly overheated claw are being repaired as we speak. Analysis of the data, the enemy energy dispersing field as increased the effect of the radiant wave drastically, the weapon concept is the sudden expansion of mega particles into matter making it heat up quickly. The energy dispersion wave enhanced the speed at which it happen and so its destructive power.'

Kshatriya eye glowed brighter,'then we have the field weakness, we just adapt it into long range and shoot down the towers. But that's for later. Right now i need to deal with those trash.'

Time dilated as she focused, the world slowing down as more thinking cores went into action soon the world seemed almost still as seconds stretched into hours.

'seven kampfer ready to face me, three in potential ambush, an alvaator piloted by an ace pilot, aries by the dozen, around half of the leo still alive and the torus on the right flank harassing applejack...its too much, once the reinforcement from the north arrive we'll be screwed, milliardo is a tough enemy to face with odds in my favor let alone against. I need to reduce those numbers and even the playing field. Lets go batman style.'

Kshatriya shut down her thrusters and fell down, but faded away like a mirage before reaching the ground.

Third POV

The enemy units had two second of wondering what was going on before four massive beam shot from seemingly nowhere erasing four kampfer before fading into the sky.

Ali al saachez snarled, eyes wide."the enemy mobile armor turned invisible you moron, keep moving! Your all just practice target standing still!"

Chaos descended in the griffonian empire ranks as aries, leo and even three kampfer exploded from smaller more precise cutting green beam coming from the ground.

Of course ali al saachez was not a fool and had slowly found where the beams had came from he aimed and unleashed his twin beam rifle in a barrage of shots that obliterated the ground beneath him, the remaining kampfer shot there bazookas and even a few leo and aries followed suit with there machine gun lifting a massive cloud of dust.

Ali al saachez looked at the cloud and frowned,"yeah not taking any chance, clear the view."

A kampfer launched a sturm faust and and another shot it down above ground, the shockwave blew the cloud off revealing kshatriya unharmed inside a glowing green bubble of energy.

*sigh*. "Of course it got its own barrier, why wouldn't it?"

Kshatriya now revealed lowered the i-field barrier and propelled herself upward breaking the sound barrier two time in seconds going straight at the alvaaron who discarded one of its beam rifle and took out a beam saber.

"That's right come at me!" the three kampfer around him spread out intent on aiding him in the fight from different angle, but when kshatriya was sure ali was convinced she was aiming for him she extended her two right wings,catching the wind. Increased her left thruster output sending herself into a spin and turned 180 degree and then stopped almost instantly just out of ali's range she moved her wing closer to her body and the alvaaron instead of kshatriya spear was met with the 40 funnel canons strapped to the inside of the wings unleashing a focused volley at him, he launched up but still saw its MS legs get shredded to pieces below the tights its balance crumbled to pieces and before he could shoot the kshatriya, the mobile armor was already away ravaging the spread out kampfer.

"T-that's not possible, she was going way to fast to stop in such short time, the g-force would have killed her, knocked her out at least! And she even sped up right away, such pressure are deadly for a human!" he looked as aries in her way were torn apart while she rushed the kampfer, some from being wing bashed to pieces and other with a casuel flick of the spear or wrist mounted beam gun, some where even shot down without warning from the funnels still stuck to her wings."well, it won't reflect well on my record but fuck it, i ain't dying again yet." he turned around and moved away severely slowed by its MS messed up balance and multiple damages errors in the system.

Kshatriya moved at mach two or three at almost all time, meaning even while turning, she could almost hear the joint on her thrusters scream as she kept going faster and taking tighter turn slowly she even stopped positioning face front with her targets and simply moved her arm where she knew the enemy was. All thanks to hacks managing the sensor and updating the map. Kshatriya didn't need to see the enemy with her optic if she could see them on the map, of course it might have been harder if kshatriya perception of time wasn't slowed down to a crawl.

She finally stopped letting her thruster cool-down and her nano-machine repair the wear of the joint after a final charge right through the last of the ten kampfer, her spear tearing right through its abdomen and and right shoulder. She turned around and looked for ali al saachez.

Kshatriya POV

'alright, got the kampfer and the alvaaron is heavely damaged i just need t-to, w-what...'

Kshatriya felt sluggish her mind slow and weary, she checked her energy level worried she had drained more than expected but her fear were dispersed seeing she was still at 73%.

'h-hacks, i d-don't feel so good. What's going on?'

'-doing a scan of the cores......problem found, the processing core are overheating, nothing dramatic but the surplus of heat is heating up the thinking and personality cores by proximity, cooling down the components is recommended please follow the step: 1 take a deep breath in and exhale, both action by the nose, not literally since the kshatriya does not posses such facial feature but attempting to do will redirect the air intake and release to go through the cores chamber only instead of the reactors.'

Hacks followed the step and hot wind was pushed out of her downward from the abdomen instead of the chest like before.

'shouldn't the cooling be automatic?'she asked.

'-actually all ventilation are sealed in combat, to reduce the risk of foreign object getting inside the hull. It is possible to manually activate them by doing "breathing exercises"like you just did kshatriya. In addition, even the cooling system would have been overwhelmed, the usage of extreme time dilatation is very taxing on the processor core, that in addition to the thrusters being used so much and the reactors working at full power and a a lot of heat is generated.'

'don't really have a choice, i don't have the reflex and reaction time needed to push my body at this level without doing that. Even then it took me time to cut of unnecessary move and be more efficient.'

Kahstriya evaluated her surrounding, gone was the overwhelming numbers difference instead the jegan were almost all in one on two fight and the enemy loss were ranking up quickly. The leo were all gone, the torus seemed to have been dealt heavy damage by dash and spike and the aries were panicking because their 5 man teams were now all missing more than halves of their members and all semblance of military orders seemed gone. She searched for a bit and found ali al saachez way away from the battle and moving to the adrastea.

"Oh fuck no dirt-bag!"kshatriya grabbed her lance with two hand and activated the main cannon, gae bolga split into four an started spinning while energy arcs formed at its core.

'-where you not attempting a capture kshatriya?'

"Screw that, this fucker die here and now, no way i'm letting this fucker out of my sight for any reason other than he start smelling rotten. Too many bullshit problem came from not finishing a psycho on the first meeting."

Green sparks were gushing out of the spear while its four spike where blurring from spinning. Kshatriya pressed the spear trigger.

'-kshatriya alert!'

Kshatriya saw a beam impact with her spear spike and all hell broke lose, the spear spinning device jammed and the mega particle were not contained anymore, she aimed the spear up and held tight the weapon trying to escape her grip as the high penetration beam was replaced by a long range high pressure flame thrower who released all the mega particle into one big *BANG!* the explosion shacking the whole area.

"What the fuck hacks?! Were did this come from?!"

'-sorry kshatriya, this unit wasn't here a moment ago, it moved into attack range from beyond sensor range in an instant.'

Kshatriya turned to her aggressor and froze. The half melted spear in her hand forgotten in profit of fear.

The unit was white and bulky with a red Mohawk and a round shield branded of an eagle on its left shoulder, in its hand was a complete copy of the gun kshatriya had given to rainbow dash and on its back the still burning hot thruster backpack was keeping it afloat a few kilometer from her.

"T-that's him isn't it? I know only one guy capable of shooting this precisely from this far while rushing full speed with this behemoth."

Resounding from the newcomer MS and over the battlefield came a voice that kshatriya had fantasied about in her youth.

"Brave soldiers of the griffon empire, regroup on my position, i milliardo piercedraft and my personal guards, are joining the fight at your side."

The aries who a moment ago were barely more than headless chicken seemed to regain their wit at the appearance of a new leadership and more units could be seen approaching fast, the north front reinforcement and milliardo personal guards probably.

't-that's fine this is okay, i already dealt with the alvaaron and the kampfer, so all is going according to plan, just need to fight milliardo, milliardo in is favorite unit, with its personal guard. No biggie....'

"Command center? Milliardo is here. Please advise."

Luna POV

Luna and her bertigo were on the launch pad, her hand flowing over her handles and screens. Doing additional last minute check was a good way to prevent problems at the worst of time.

"Luna, are you ready to deploy?"said Celestia from the com screen.

"I am sister, inform kshatriya of my arrival, do we have supports ready, either escort or ranged support?"she crouched onto the pad and hooked her bertigo's feet to the catapult.

Celestia shook her head,"none, lieutenant rainbow dash has no ammunition left and i want her exactly where she is, miss pie is still covering the daughtress, the ground force are free but i doubt they can help effectively beside, some torus may remain in hiding and i want to keep some units close to the city."

"Then i shall rely on kshatriya alone. If her last action on the field are anything to go by, she will be more than enough to deal with milliardo."

Celestia eyes narrowed in worry, she switched the channel to private preventing other channel to overhear them."i doubt it, she seemed to slow down considerably after this 'rush', i don't know enough about her units working to do any hypothesis on why but she does not sound confident, even scared beside you only need to restrain milliardo long enough not defeat him. Also killing him will only create more problem down the line for us so..."

Luna scowled,"i will not kill him, but i reserve myself the right to subdue him fully should the opportunity present itself."

Celstia rolled her eyes,"fair enough."she watched her sister solemnly."god speed luna and be safe. I love you, your all the family i have sister.

Luna's bertigo was ready and she strapped her safety belt and grasped the handles firmly, she smiled fondly."i love you as well sister. Luna, bertigo unit going out!"

The bertigo limbs went rigid and the catapult launched forward giving the unit a burst of speed. It launched out of the morning sun, the bertigo thrusters turned on spewing blue fire and leaving a trail of color across the sky, the daughtress around cheered as one of the princesses joined the field.

Rainbow dash POV

Rainbow was having a really good day, she had nailed 30 hit for 30 bullets and was now free to join the field. She had done so and joined with rarity side of the battle, spike having joined applejack earlier. She had enjoyed herself just chasing after aries and tearing them apart with her head mounted vulcan and saber but they had rapidly started to stay away from her and rarity position, to her delight for the respite, but now she looked to the center of the battlefield, mad.

"That fucker completely passed us by, didn't even see him fly in front of us." she was reeling for a shot at him, milliardo had almost killed princess luna last time he fought with equestria and as her guard it was a stain on her pride. She had saved the princess along with her follow guards but the toll was heavy and only the damages the princess had done to its unit back then and that said unit had been a leo had allowed that.

"Darling, i do believe those gentleman are trying to pass through here without saying hello."rarity said on dash com.

"What?"rainbow turned to rarity and then followed where she pointed, she saw a group of 12 leo flying in formation using a strange backpack coming from the north. They were painted white and held round shield and some weapon suspiciously similar to her dober gun.

"Leo flying? This is new, and bad considering leo are all around better than aries and seeing them fly they look better at flying too. Then again it could be the pilots talent showing."

Rarity voice came up again."go ahead dear, we will keep this side of thing safe, i don't think the princess and kshatriya want to be disturbed against milliardo."

Rainbow hesitated, if she was supposed to intersect them the command center would ha-

"Lieutenant rainbow dash here the command center units comic from the north, please intercept them before they can join the center of the battlefield."

'i love when thing come together so i can kick ass.' she refocused to the com screen."understood, i'm intercepting now. Rarity i'm off, be back in ten second flat."

Rarity laughed and let out a tired sigh."as always."

Milliardo piercedraft POV

'i was late, not to late buts late all the same. The castle frame -never going to get over this phrasing- the Mobile armor is destroyed, the industrial leo all gone, only a token of the taurus and aries units left. To top it all the core units of the Mobile armor is heavily damaged and all that without doing any damage to the equestrian forces. Even with gilda brazen temperament it shouldn't have went so poorly.'

He looked at the unit in front of him, a black and silver behemoth of a MS with four wings and clawed hand, it was mono eyed and its armor plate material was one he recognized immediately.

'a Mobile armor sized gundam, worrisome even if interesting.'

It had been armed with a massive beam canon but the weapon was easily made unstable with a single shot and damaged itself beyond use.

'a prototype no doubt. Like the rest of this unit i believe, its equipped with a wide array of weapons and gimmick i can tell, the fact that aside of the spear it doesn't have a held weapon tell me that some are built-in, standard design in mobile armors.'

He checked the surrounding wreckage for the damage inflicted to them.

'beam weaponry and highly penetrating in most case, some mark similar to the epyon's beam sword, what is going on here?'

Suddenly is com was hacked, a voice making itself heard.

"Hello, milliardo piercedraft, or should i use peacecraft?"

Milliard felt the feather around its eyes twitch as they widened,"how?!"

"How indeed, name's kshatriya by the way, see you got a tallgeese this time as well, fate seem to keep you together."

"Answer the question, how do you know this name?! Who are you?"

"i know cause I've followed your story with the gundam with great interest, and that since you were known as Zechs Merquise. as for who i am, i'm the one who's spear you just destroyed.

milliardo took in a deep breath and calmed down,"and why is my enemy calling me and wasting the advantage of knowing me and my past, for blackmail i presume?"

"wrong, i'd rather like to think you can be reasoned with, you are a proud man with integrity, the griffonian empire are going down the path of exterminating the equestrian, its wrong and you know it. what would heero think? what of relena?"

he tensed, "they are not here, here only gilda matters and as long as blackbeack agents stay around her, i have no other choice. now enough time wasted, fight!"

the talgeese took off in an instant gaining altitude, shooting the Mobile armor with its dober gun even thought the bullet were easily deflected by kshatriya wings and her six drown blades.

milliardo surprised by kshatriya six sword wielding stance still heard the last phrase of kshatriya.

"t'was worth a shot."
