(Gabriel)
The Archangel marched forward, following the Mark III division into battle. The fighting had become intense; the motivation given to the NA troops had helped to increase their morale and fighting spirit. All Gabriel could do was smile in awe at his troops, all fighting valiantly to preserve the Nocturne Alliance.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something sneaking past security. It was fast-moving, triangular, and treaded...
Archangel levitated and took off into the air, dodging gunfire from the ground, and quickly hovered over the base to the side where the treaded enemy was last seen. Upon landing, Gabriel could see nothing moving around. It was as if the mech disappeared into thin air. Then, from the dark fog and mist in front of the Gundam glowed two red eyes. As the object came closer and closer orange lights on its shoulders glowed brightly. It was the Gustav.
"Oh Gabriel, did you miss me? HAHAHA!"
Gabriel's expression quickly turned from puzzled to furious...Brian was alive!
"You almost destroyed me in those tunnels. Now, I will return the favor-and succeed where you have failed!"
The Gustav's treads tore into the ground, kicking up dirt and rocks everywhere as it accelerated forward at tremendous speed. Thinking quickly, a quick change of movement and the Archangel performed a perfect moonsault, then landed back on its feet facing the Gustav's back. Gustav stopped its charge, and immediately turned around. Brian could be heard laughing over his loudspeaker. Gabriel was mad as hell.
"Is something supposed to be funny, Brian? Because I'm not laughing. You think you can just sit there and insult me? Now you listen here, you insignificant speck-I know what you did to Aimee, and I will NOT let it stand! Just because you think that you can pilot a Gustav doesn't mean shit when it comes to fighting ability. You don't have the balls to fight me hand-to-hand! That's why you hide behind your pathetic loudspeaker and laugh to yourself about lackadaisical shit that means nothing! You're nothing but a cowardly little bitch! LAUGH AT THAT!"
Brian began twitching in anger. He had no comeback, thus he let out a loud roar as he charged once more. The Gustav lurched forward into the darkness, until Brian could see the glow from the barrel of the Echo Hypercannon pointed straight at him...

The lights on the battleships suddenly went dead, and the large crafts started to fall into the earth. The F90 plunge type gundam was headed in the opposite direction.
"Damn!" Shadow said as he flew to the side, dodging the gigantic ships.
As Shadow got to vaun braun, a hangar door opened and let him in. The shinter transport was allready docked in the same hangar, and they were opening the cargo boxes. A large circular planet defensor lifted up out of the box as they attached it onto the Mobile suit covered in the darkness.
"Shadow!" Drake was obviously mad at the apparent disobedience of the rookie pilot. "Your new suit is ready you lucky bastard!"
The lights activated and the white suit lit up.
"Tallgeese..."
"No, this is Blaugeese, a variant that is far superior. The mega particla gun is strengthened by the energy collector on its right shoulder, and with that it now has infinite energy. The planet defensors should give it good defensive abilities as well."
"ooooooo...."

Inside Alameda's command center, the technicians have reported that all sensors are back up and running, as well as all of the base's weapons systems.
"SIR! We have a class ten alert! Seven HUGE Gwazine class battleships are on a crash course-with us!!!"
The Commandant cursed to himself.
"Get me Erdossy; tell him to activate all our weapons systems to fire at those ships!!! Get on the horn to every base we have! Tell them to fire all that they've got to deflect these things! I need all emergency armor capabilities to be deployed to protect us! Get the Chobham on top of us!"
The technicians nod in reply, and get to work. Erdossy rushes into the room with a radio by his side, sending commands down to his men in the weapons department.
"Sir, all of our beam cannons and mega particle cannons are already charged due to Commander Fox's warning. Rail cannons are ready as well as all our conventional high-yield warhead missiles. They are ready to launch at your command, sir."
"Fire them NOW!"
Erdossy commanded his men on the radio. "Targets locked? Now fire at will! Every single solitary weapon! After you fire prepare for a quick reload!"
The commandant interrupted, "Get everyone out of here now and into the tunnels! Move all spare mobile weapons and armament into the transports and send them to Helene! The Midnight Faction must retreat and escape as fast as possible!"
The ground surrounding the base began to open up and reveal the base's weapons systems. And in a matter of seconds every weapon fired at the same exact time. Powerful energy beams exploded from the cannons and tore through the sky, accurately targeted at the falling Gwazine cruisers. Hundreds of high-explosive missiles flew through the air with a roaring like that of thunder. The ground trembled and the sky lit up as bright as day...

And the Echo Hypercannon fired. A huge beam of neutral Minovsky energy traveled out of its barrel, illuminating the darkness surrounding the Archangel and the Gustav. But when the bright light cleared, Gabriel quickly realized that the Gustav wasn't hit by the blast; it was not longer even in front of him!
"Hahahaha..."
Gabriel could see nothing on all sides of him. All he could hear was the sound made by the Gustav's treads ripping through the dirt and rocks. It was on the move, but where would it stop?
Suddenly, the sounds ceased. Out of the darkness to the Archangel's starboard side came two bright, burning lights-clearly the Gustav's flame discs! They tore through the air like bolts of lighting, in a direct path towards the Archangel. Gabriel had to act quickly. With no time to come up with an elaborate plan to escape, Gabriel simply put the Gundam's thrusters on max, and hovered quickly backward. The yo-yos missed by mere inches. In another quick and smart move the Archangel took off into the sky. It left the Echo Hypercannon laying on the ground...
Brian found it extremely hard to detect the fast-moving Archangel, and realized he would be unable to defend well against its air attacks-for the Gustav itself was merely a ground-based suit.
The Archangel quickly armed itself with the Mokushiroku katana, and rushed the Gustav with all its might...

"Where are you taking us?" It was the worried members of the Nocturne Alliance Senate. Ain Miyamoto had already taken them from the forsaken rubble of the Seven Cities, and they now where on Vaun Braun under the vigilant eye of Shinter.
"To a POW cell. The cell block is 4, and all of you will be staying there until your comrades are notified that the real senate is here, and the decoy was 'given' to them back on Earth." Drake and Shadow both smirked, and watched the soldiers take them down to their prisoner cells.
The ransom was still pending, but a few things were certain; The transaction would take place after the Alameda conflict, or very soon, and that it would take place on the neutral city of Vaun Braun.

The ships were falling faster now. The other suit in the distance left without fighting. There was no point, especially since they were about to fall into the atmosphere. My suit flew up to attack the ships, And I slashed at the leading one with my sword, taking out the front section. It must have been filled with explosives. The tower came up after i flew straight over the main guns. The commander was still inside along with the rest of the control center crew. This was the perfect opportunity to strike. My sword sliced the tower into several peices and the bloody remains of the crew came flying out in little bubbles.
The other ships were on the sides in a spearpoint formation. And i was just about to attack the left one when my sensors picked up many objects headed for me. They were a barrage of missiles following by a series of Mobile weapons. Several beams of energy made it this far and one penetrated the left ships front section, punching through deep enough to cripple it, if it wasnt allready so.
The missiles drew nearer and there was no time for me to dodge that many, so i deactivated my beam sword and fed the power over to the arm shield. It covered the entire left side of my gundam, so i turned to watch the onslaught.
The explosions rocked my gundam in all directions, and the next two leading ships were damaged and falling apart, when one suddenly exploded, throwing me into the distance.
The gundams monitors adjusted to the blinding light, so it was a few seconds until i could see anything. A mobile armor flew out of the space dust and headed for me. The computer said it was an Orchis. The rockets propelled it towards me and i switched back to my shield. I had only my vulcan guns as a long range weapon since my beam rifle burned up in the atmosphere. The giant beam cannon on it fired and i easily dodged it, since my agility was far better than any of their mobile armors. I flew up and stabbed the missile pods on the right side.
The stamen MS jetisoned just in time. The explosion from the missiles blew apart the MA and took out the upper gun from the back Gwazine class ship. The stamen started to fight, but stopped. When he lowered his rifle i noticed he wasn't the enemy. Another explosion rocked me as the right -front ship was taken out by another MA.
As the other MA came into the area, they started to attack the remaining battleships. The middle, and far right and left ships were still intact. But since they didnt seem a threat i left them alone.
'BEEP'-BEEP'
My computer displayed another message. I was to leave this area and head for the Moon. There was that familiar station. Again flashes of past memories came into my mind. If i were to know anything, i would have to head there.

"Fire again!" the Commandant yelled.
The technicians did so once more, virtually emptying all remaining missile launchers. The missiles and beams of energy traveled at supersonic speeds, and peeled the remaining battleships apart. When the explosions and smoke cleared, the MAs finished the job, eliminating the remaining three. Unfortunately, the pieces and parts of metal were falling to the earth like rain.
"This is MF Mobile Armor squadrons. Cease fire! All battleships eliminated! The downside is that the remaining chunks of the ships have become a rain of metal. Several collections of the metal have been melted as they were hit."
Gabriel quickly pulled the Archangel away from Gustav as he heard the radio broadcast to HQ. The Gundam took off into the air and stood atop the base.
"MA units, is there any radiation fallout?"
"Yes sir! Our best bet to protect against it is to activate emergency washdown systems right now! We need to get all of our forces inside the base and protected, or else we're going to have some major casualties."
Gabriel began a command directive to his troops.
"This is Commander Fox to all Midnight Faction suits fighting outside of the base! The remains of the Gwazine cruisers are falling down to earth as metal rain. I need everyone to pull back and come inside of Alameda RIGHT NOW! In columns, hold them off from inside until everyone's in and we close up!"
The troops followed their commander's orders, knowing that if they were to stay outside, they would most surely die the most horrible of deaths.
"All Mobile Armors, break away until things have settled."
The EMP effects from the reactors of the Gwazine cruisers began to affect radio transmissions. Gabe knew he must get inside too, or face death as well. The Archangel hovered in the air, and landed on the ground where it was fighting the Gustav-only to find that the Gustav had disappered...
"What the?"
Gabriel looked on to his left to see Osiris troops fast retreating; they must have found out about the imminent danger coming. Archangel quickly put away its katana and grabbed the Echo. Again the suit hovered back into the air, and quickly made its way to the swarm of MF troops coming into the base. The Gundam was one of the last ones in, when the command to close the hangar doors was given. All troops had securely made it in.
The troops climbed out of their mobile weapons, and headed to the Main Deck. It was the safest place to be, for it was the most heavily armored.
Meanwhile, back on the Command Deck, the Commandant continued to fire Alameda's beam weapons at the falling "shrapnel," in attempt to soothe their impact and lessen damage. When no more could be done, the Commandant ordered all weapons systems to shut down, and that all emergency washdown systems be activated.
Aimee quickly found Gabriel among the troops, and the two went to a more secluded area of the Main Deck. Gabriel held her tight in his arms, for the barrage of metal was about to begin.

Post by Leo Cana on Apr 19, 2004 23:35:06 GMT -5
Unlike the others fighting the battle at Alameda, Leo hadn't had time to return to the safty of the base. Along with the Mobile Armors, Leo had used his Einhander to cover the retreating troops to Alameda. But by the time he'd recived the orders to retreat into the base as well, the radio was begining to malfunction. "Shit." He swore, "The EMP effect is taking hold."
He didn't have time to think, the base was sealed up and he couldn't get in, so he pushed the throtle foward and pushed the afterburner button. He was kicked back in his seat as the Einhand shot foward, rapidly climbing towards it's top speed. He leveled out and kept low to the ground, having already dropped the Flash cannon to lose extra weight. He pulled the manipulator arm as close to the body of the fighter as it would go.
Now the rain of metal began.
His Einhander had just hit it's top speed, the HUD began to flash as his engines hit the red line. His fighter kicked up a huge spray of dust and dirt in it's wake as it flew over the ground at an altitude of just barely 15 feet. The chunks of metal that rained down came in many sizes, some small like pebbles, others large like the size of cars. And on the leading edge of it was his ship.
He cut left and right sharply, dodging rocks, fallen mobile suits and other debris. He didn't dare pull up for fear of losing speed or worse, hitting falling debris. Alarms went off and his engines screamed as he pushed the fighter passed it's limits, but dispite this the leading edge of the falling metal was catching up. Creeping closer and closer. Leo leaned foward and roared wordlessly as if that would help him go faster.
And then it stopped. The rain just stopped.
He looked down at one of the rear moutned cameras, the debris continued to fall but it wasn't falling near him anymore. He'd done it, he'd out run the falling metal death. He grined, his grin became a full smile and then a laugh that bordered on insanity. He couldn't belive that he had actually out ran it! He cut the after burner and pulled back the throtle. The Einhander could probably still fly but he wasn't going to push his luck today.
Lowering the manipulator arm he landed the Einhander carefully. After a few moments of checking his systems he frowned, the EMP must have effected it while he was running. He had no idea how far away he was, once he opened the cockpit he stood and watched. Even from this unknownn distance he could see metal raining down from the heavens. All he could do for the time being was watch, wait and hope.

(Midnight Faction Mobile Armor Division)
All NA armors managed to make their way to a safe distance, and began to land. Casualties were at a minimum; the Orchis was the only one.
"Okay team, let's sit here for a while until the metal stops raining down. Are sensors functioning?"
The team commander's suboordinate replied, "Yes sir. We weren't hit with any beam interference. Plus the fact that our armors have EMP protection."
The man paused a moment to look at his sensor monitors.
"Sir, I'm detecting one of our Einhander nearby. Its carrying our signal, should we investigate?"
The commander was puzzled. What would a lone NA Einhander be doing out here? And why didn't it get inside of Alameda?
"Let's investigate. Everyone come with me."
The team hovered close to the ground at a moderate speed; they weren't in too much of a hurry.
Leo was looking at the metalling rain in awe when the nineteen armors appeared behind him. He was startled, but sensed he was not in danger.
"This is NA Mobile Armor Squadron. Pilot, please identify yourself."
"I'm Leo Cana, and what's it to ya?"
"Oh, sorry sir. We didn't know it was you. Sir, if I might suggest, close your cockpit-there is a chance that fallout could be carried by wind over to here and you don't really want to become radioactive, do ya?"
Leo sat back down and closed his cockpit for now.
"Thought not. In any case, sir, we'll park here and form a perimeter for now. Our sensors are active and will be able to detect when the coast is clear."
The team of armors land, forming a decent perimeter around Leo's Einhander.
"I need all defenses up and running; keep a look out for any unidentified ground troops or air targets. Keep all weapons loaded and armed, and all proximity alarms activated."
The team members did as they were told, and watched on as the metallic rain continued to fall from the sky.

Ain, Drake and Shadow were already on the way to Alameda. The deep space journey would take time, but there was always time to be spared somewhere.
Three slades and seven zakus accompanied them on the voyage, to help them in sticky situations or hot spots.
The senate was still on Vaun Braun, under high security detail, and the three pilots were coming down to mother Earth to notify the Nocturne Alliance the senate they were given was fake, and the details of the next negotiations.
"Almost there eh?" Ain mumbled to himself. The trip was already long as it was, and the three pilots were hungry for action.
"Yeah. I guess." Drake had been paired up with Ain again, but wasn't too wild about the partnership again.
"Check your distance monitors. There seems to be a rain of metal, coming from the atmosphere." The metallic rain dotted the Earth's blue skin, and looked extremely out of place, but not dangerous. Looks could be decieving. "Well, just bring the Zakus and Slades into formation, we should be there in about 30 minutes," Shadow commanded the other suits.
At the sound of his voice, all the suits scrambled and arranged themselves into a temporary formation.
"Check all systems for a precombat check. I don't want anything spazzing out while we are in there."

Hours passed as time edged closer to dawn, and finally the metal rain had stopped. The only ecological problem now was nuclear fallout from the ship reactors.
But that would not stop the onslaught of the Osiris. Just as the time reached 0450 hours, they attacked Alameda once again. This time, though, the Midnight Faction was waiting, and ready to push them back.
"Move out!" Gabriel commanded.
The armor doors of the hangar opened once again, and the Midnight Faction rushed outside. The fighting was more intense than before, with both sides unleashing everything upon each other. Gabriel needed to take care of some business, and did not go outside with his forces. He needed to find out where Brian had gone, where he had disappeared to. Chances were that he had made it inside of the base somehow.
Suddenly, Gabriel heard the screams of a woman on his intercom. He could instantly decipher it was Aimee's voice! Brian began to speak on the radio.
"GABRIEL! You don't want your precious love here to be killed do you-her throat slit? What you are going to do is order your troops inside of this 'Main Deck' to go away from here, and leave us be. Then I want YOU to come here alone. You said you could beat me in hand-to-hand combat? Then let's put those words to the test. The winner, gets Aimee... HAHAHAHAHA!"
Gabriel became insanely enraged; so enraged that he felt he could tear Brian apart, limb from limb.
"This is Commander Fox, all mobile suits and MF personnel in the Main Deck are to leave the area immediately. This is a direct order; I don't want a soul there."
He paused to collect his thoughts.
"And Brian, you're a dead man."
Gabriel grabbed his Desert Eagle and katana, opened the Archangel's cockpit, and climbed down to the ground. He ran as fast as possible across the hangar deck, and into the heart of Alameda-where the Main Deck was located. Within a matter of minutes he reached his destination, only to find that Brian had tied up Aimee and knocked her out cold. He stood in the center of the deck, holding his own katana pointed to the ground. He motioned for Gabriel to come at him.
Gabriel pulled off his jacket, and put his Desert Eagle in its holser on his hip. He unsheathed his katana and tossed the scabbard behind him, then lightly touched the sword's tip with the ground.
"Let's begin..."
The two dashed towards each other, weapons ready...#nosmileys#nosmileys

Post by Saydon on Apr 24, 2004 10:56:16 GMT -5
saydon saw gabe run about inside the base, this was especially weird, since he was just ouside fighting the enemy, and the explosions on the surface havent stopped yet. the other suits int eh hangar went away, leaving him behind. THis was getting stranger.
The others either didnt care or left gabe alone, since he had a very pissed off look to his face.
"hey kurow!" saydon yelled, but under the loud noise of the machines being operated, he didnt hear.
"Yo dumbass!" all of the mechanics and kurow looked up at saydon. after noticing he was talking about him, Kurow went up where he was.
"What do you want.." kruwo asked in a annoyed look. He was about ready to go out and saydon hadn't even started, although his suit was the first to be repaired.
"Gabe is up to something. if the MF is down here then the enemy must be as well. im gonna follow gabe. You in?"
without even waiting for a reply Saydon ran down the path Gabe took. Gabe had gone into a room and the door shut behind him. Saydon couldnt enter without Gabe knowing he was there. The automatic door would make too much noise. So all he could do was wait. He pulled out his twin 9 mm automatic handguns, the upgraded version to the classic G18, and set it off of safety to semi, then auto. Hopefully kurow would show up, then the party could get started.

Once the fighting began anew Leo lifted off. The Mobile Armors that had followed him took off as well and streaked toward the battlefield. For Leo battle wasn't an option, he'd red lined his engines so their over all performance had dropped greatly. What's more he'd droped the Flash cannon, he had to go back.
He closed the gap between him and the base, taking care to keep low and avoid battle as much as possible. "Alameda main deck this is Leo Cana, over." He paused for a moment. "Alameda main deck this is Leo, come in, over." Now that was odd, why wasn't anyone on the Main Deck? Maybe they hadn't heard him, the comm chatter from the battle was intense and too many of their pilots were screaming for help. He tried again. "Alameda main deck this is Leo Cana, I'm returning to rearm. My Einhander's engines have been damaged and I'm unarmed. Please open the Main door."
But as he arrived, nothing happened. He gritted his teeth in annoyance, he wasn't going to get shot down here. After a few moments he used his left hand to tap the controls of his computer, he created an interface to the Main Deck's computer system. He typed out the emergancy override code that Gabe had given him only a few days ago. "Easy, I'll just open the door long enough to get in then I'll close it. Nothing more." He muttered to himself.
As he had hoped, the system responded and the main deck door opened. Just as he started foward the worst possible thing happened, from out of nowhere he took a hit. He didn't know where it came from but it didn't matter, his starboard engine exploded and sent him flying into the deck out of control. Seconds later he crashed inside, sliding along the right side of the deck and knocking over various weapons, Einhanders and supply crates. The main door had registered that he was in and closed the door automaticly.
As for Leo the landing and impacts that followed didn't knock him out but left him trapped inside the cockpit. All his systems were down, no power at all. To Gabe and Brian fighting inside the main deck the crashed fighter might look like some rookie's attempt to land mid battle gone very very wrong.

(Silas)
I watched as the Midnight Faction left the main hangar. This seemed suspicious. "Why would they leave in a time like this?"
The commander had the same thoughts. He nodded when i looked at him, before i could even ask to leave.
When i entered the hangar through one of the hangar doors, saydon was yelling at kurow, but apparently he didnt listen. It wasnt a surprise, they were never in good terms with each other.
When i got to the upper level i followed saydon. He was next to a door with his gun drawn.
"What the hell is going on?" i whispered, i didnt want anyone else to be alarmed.
He was talking normally "Gabe went in here. Dont worry, this door is triple sealed. Noise is the last thing that will get through."
I rose my voice back to normal. "Ok, but what are you doing out here?"
"There must be someone else in there. Other wise he wouldnt have been so pissed when he entered. I couldnt see who it was, but his eyes were fixed on him, so its someone hes gonna kill."
"Your not gonna help?"
"Not unless he needs it."
"But there is no way your gonna know."
"Atleast that guy aint making it out this door. Thats for sure."
"Whatever..." I took a puff from my cigarette, and the smoke alarm above me sounded. One would think the main computer would have ignored something as unimportant as a cigarette. But the alarm was autonimous. It was just a plain and simple alarm fixed to the roof.
"Peice of shit!" Saydon fired at it, sending 12 bullets into it in half a second. The recoil operated firearm was extremely fast, so fast that it ran out of ammo before he realized it.
The main door opened and an einhander flew inside. No gunshots followed. The enemy wasn't on his tail.
I entered the T-35 Gunner in the end of the hangar and headed for the einhander. I stopped behind a cargo crate and aimed at teh ship with my 20mm gun. THe pilot came out and i found out it was leo. He had healed enough to fight in an einhander, wow.
The falling debree had long since stopped and there was no explosions or any other sign of the enemy. This meant they still hanging around covertly. We hadn't attacked them enough for them to retreat.
I headed for the main personnel hallway. It was the smallest place that i could fit in, and if they were now on foot then i would have the complete advantage in my middle mobile suit.
...If they got in the base they would enter into the base either through a big hole, an allready made gate, or some other unorthodox entrance like an airshaft. There were no big holes since the armor had no been peirced. The gates were being monitored, but that didnt discount the possibility that the feed was looped, so airshafts were the best choice...
I went south towards the air curculatory system maintenace shaft. This place was designed for other middle mobile suits to enter so repairs would be completed easily. It would be only a few minutes until i entered the one of main vertical shafts.

Gabriel fought with his sword in true ninja fashion-backwards. Defense was paramount at this time; the best thing to do was wear down his enemy. Brian cut left and right, but to no real avail.
"Come on, all this fancy talk and you can't cut me? Fine then, let me cut you!"
Gabriel leaped back to dodge one of Brian's chops, then faced the sword point at his adversary and charged forward. But Brian detected this attempt to turn him into a human shish kabob, and deftly stepped to the right. This left Gabriel open to attack, and Brian took advantage of the opportunity. But to his dismay Gabriel had turned back around with his sword in a perfect guard position ready to block any incoming slices. Brian paused, then stepped away from his opponent.
"Gabriel, you silly bastard. Why don't you just come full force at me? It would make this battle a quick one-with my sword pierced through your heart!"
Brian charged forward and pulled off a rotating cut and sweep combination. Gabriel managed to barely block the sword strike but was nailed with the sweep. He tumbled to the ground like a sack of potatoes, and rolled quickly across the deck to safely get away from Brian. Once a good distance away, he rose to his feet, obviously madder than ever.
"I'll tell you what, Gabriel. Let us do this bare fisted, no guns, no swords or knives. And we'll see who wins."
Gabriel watched Brian lay his sword on the floor, and followed quietly. He cracked his neck and stretched his arms out, as Brian made the first charge. Caught off guard, the man's lightning-fast left hook connected with Gabriel's jaw, sending him sprawling to the floor. Gabriel responded by sweep-kicking Brian and sending him to the floor as well. Gabriel climbed to his feet just as Brian did, and they both began exchanging hard punches and tosses. Gabriel launched a vicious hard straight punch, snap jab and crescent kick combo, each hit connecting perfectly with Brian's body. Brian shrugged the pain off and countered with a forceful elbow to the face, followed by a swift side kick. Both men were beating each other bloody, until Brian grabbed Gabriel and tossed him with tremendous force to the ground. Gabriel screamed in pain as he hit the floor with a loud thud. He wasn't moving.
"What's the matter, Gabriel? Too weak? Let me finish you in the most pleasurable manner."
Brian walked over to his enemy's seemingly limp body and turned him over. He then lifted him up with two arms and spoke directly to his face.
"Before you die, you need to know a few things. First of all, you could have never beaten me; I've always been better than you and now I will forever be better. Second, I enjoy seeing you in agonizing pain, thus I will make sure to stab you a few times in the chest and twist the knife harshly around before I slit your throat. And third, I absolutely loved abusing Aimee...every night I ravaged her over, and over, and over... and now I will do so forevermore!"
Gabriel suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight into Brian's. The sheer rage and hatred within his heart was made visible.
"I beg to differ..."
Immediately Gabriel jumped to his feet, sending Brian flying backward. Now came the utter beatdown.
Gabriel ran over and picked Brian up, punching him repeatedly in the abdomen, neck, jaw, and chest. Each blow connected with pure fury-Gabriel was holding nothing back. Brian's blood flew through the air.
Eventually Gabriel lifted the man up to his feet, only to bring his head down and strike it hard with his knee-shattering Brian's nose. Blood poured out of his nostrils and spilled onto the floor like a cursed river. Brian stopped moving. Gabriel backed off to pick up his Desert Eagle and katana, but struggled to do so for he was beaten so badly. As he grabbed his gun, he neglected to realize that Brian had already stood to his feet-with a Beretta in his right hand.
"Say, goodbye, Gabriel!"
Brian opened fire, nailing Gabriel in his back and sending him tumbling to the floor. He lay there, lifeless.
Brian let out an insane bout of laughter as he walked over to the body of his adversary. He had sheathed his gun and was attempting to turn Gabe's body over, but to his ultimate surprise Gabriel was not dead-and was holding his loaded and armed Desert Eagle with both hands to Brian's shoulder. He pulled the trigger multiple times, sending bullets ripping through Brian's body. The man stumbled back and fell over, yelling in pain.
Gabriel struggled to get to his feet. He was lucky-he was wearing a bullet proof vest. He dropped his gun and lifted his katana off of the floor. He dragged it behind him, limping over towards Brian. There he lifted his sword high, ready to finish the kill.
"Gabriel, go ahead! Do it you little shit! I'm not afraid of you!"
Gabriel thrusted his sword deep into Brian's torso. As the blade went in he twisted it repeatedly, causing Brian to yell in agony. He opened up two other wounds, then brought the sword tip to Brian's neck.
"Brian, have fun in hell!"
With one final stab the sword cut into Brian's neck, severing the carotid artery and causing a stream of blood to spurt out of the man's neck.
"You're dead now. Make sure you stay that way."
Gabriel stumbled over towards his tied-up Aimee. He quickly cut the ropes binding her arms together and freed her from her wrongful imprisonment. He collapsed to the floor and dragged himself over to the wall, bringing Aimee close to him and cuddling with her. She was just beginning to come around when she heard Gabriel's voice speaking to her.
"Aimee, its over. Brian's no longer a resident of earth. He'll never bother you again..."
He kissed her forehead as he held her close and tight, as if he was afraid someone would take her away from him. He managed to fumble around with his radio, and made an announcement over all general communications.
"This is Commander Fox, I have killed Brian Oshiro and have defused the threat from the Gustav. But the battle is not won yet. We may have intruders already inside of the base; I want extermination teams to be formed immediately. And will someone please get me a morphine..."
