Zero made it to Atles in outstanding time and was already on the cargo Elevator up.
"Zero... I didn't want Dai caught up in all this... Not now anyway..."
Zero looked up and out teh glass as the elevator went up. "Not much I can do about it now... You could have said something ya know..." She said out loud this time as if talkign to someone else in the elevator.
"No that would have been a bad idea... But you don't need to know..."
"Bull... You tell me why I don't take her out like the others who get in the way... Or I am off this S***!" Zero yelled.
"Fine fine fine..... But not over the com... I don't care how many back doors we use I'm not telling you it over the com so once you gte back to base I will tell you..."
"You better promise!!" Zero said leaning agains the steel wall as she could start to see space out the window now.
"I promise, now finsh up your recon and get back as soon as you can... I finshed the add on parts for your Hardsuit... And remember once your done head to the colony at the top of Atles your shuttle back down is all set, it's in bay 5 on C level 42..."
"Understood... And boss... will you have some chilled sake and a hot bath for me when I get back?" Zero asked.
"I'm not a maid.... But fine... just don't screw this one up... The data your bring back will effect a lot more then just us this time Zero... Remember that."
The Elevator lights kicked in as the glass disappeared as it was about to stop at one of the check points along the shaft.

As Zero made her way up the elevator, Dai was in flight towards the island the Elevator was being built on. She'd gone straight back to the hotel and grabbed her armor, giving Omega instructions to find out what he could around town.
After a couple more minutes, Dai arrived, landing on a beach and making her way towards the massive structure...
--------------------------
The elevator Zero was on froze at the checkpoint... and started to go back down.
She didn't have much time to wonder about it, as there was a sudden 'thud' on the top of the car, and the hiss of a beam saber cutting metal.
A small circle of the elevator fell from the ceiling and was quickly followed by a young man in full green and yellow trooper armor.
"So, you're the one the General has had so much trouble with..." Kyte said, staring Zero down and leveling his double beam rifle at her chest, "Give me one good reason not to kill you where you stand."

"Well how about two reasons... 1, if you shoot me more then likely my suit will explode and will damage the Atless even if it is only a cargo Elevator... 2 do you relly want to take a chacne and get sucked out that glass you so stupidly have the elevator passing by?" Zero said.

Kyte just laughed, "You really think that glass is the only thing between us and the upper atmosphere? You're even stupider than you look. Besides, I have no fear of whatever damage a pathetic armor like yours could do to me."
Without another word Kyte opened fire.

Yumi smiled at the girl with sad eyes, relieved that her 'little sister' is safe.
"Everything is alright," she said. "Just... from now on, don't run off without telling me, OK?"
Yumi let out a nervous sigh, and ruffled the Xi Gundam Girl's hair.
"Come on... we're not too far away from where we're going," she said. "Stay on foot, and for now, we'll keep out of sight. Winnie is waiting for us, along with two other people."

WeiLi fidgeted with Delilah's Nephtis armour, probing through the circuitry until she found what she was looking for.
"Bingo," WeiLi whispered victoriously, and disconnected the small tracker within the innards of metal and metatron.
"One bioweapon tracker disconnected," WeiLi grinned, and crushed the device between her fingers. "At least it'll keep anyone from following her temporarily."
Still unconcious, Delilah purred softly in her sleep, as her tail began to move to from side to side.
"Cute..." WeiLi muttered to herself.

Thank god for her beam missiles or she would have been dead, a burst from them and they were able to conter Kyte's blasts.
Her helmet kept her from going blind for a moment as the two blasts canceled each other out.
And in that moment she hit her thrusters jumped and used Kyte as a leapping base to jump out the top of the elevator knocking him down.
By the time he could see she was gone. --------------------------
"S***......" Thankful she knew her way around. she looked around at the two ways she could go.
"Hmm going to the top is a risk.... But going to the bottem means i might run into that jerk again.... Damnit..." She turned left and headed to the colony.

Meanwhile...
Beaten and bruised, physically and mentally, the Nephtis Trooper named Kali made her way through the buildings and to the sewers, keeping a low profile from the rest of the world. Finally, taking a sudden turn, she reached her destination...
"Dearest... sweet, Kali..." a voice echoed through the chamber. At the end of the channel stood a silhouette, relatively tall, lissome, and elegant. Though the darkness kept the figure's features hidden, the hour-glass shape and long mane of the silhouette was one of a woman. "You're late."
Kali swallowed a lump in her throat, as she landed on the ground, and slowly approached the voice.
"I... I'm sorry..." she choked. "I... I didn't mean... to..."
"You don't look so good," the figure replied. "Come... come closer..."
Kali nodded slightly, and approached the silhouette both in fear and shame.
"Where are the others?" the voice demanded. "Where is my little blue kitten?"
"I... I..." Kali stuttered. "We had... a bit of a... run-in..."
"Judging by the mess, you had more than a mere run-in," the figure snapped, then gently reached out her hand towards Kali's face. A slender, mechanical hand with talons for fingers gently caressed the side of Kali's cheek, and raised her head with its finger under her chin. "Tell me... what happened?"
"It was... it was..." Kali trembled, then recomposed herself. "Black... Fox..."
The figure shirked back slightly at the mention of the name.
"She... is here..." Kali continued. "I... I'm sorry..."
"Shhhhh..." the figure hushed, gently putting her finger to Kali's lips. "It's alright... I understand."
"She... along with another... they took us by surprise... killed the others... left me to live..."
"Shhh... say no more..." the figure hushed once again, caressing the face of the now whimpering Kali. "It seems Yumi saw fit not to kill you off... insulting my sweet Kali by showing you her... 'mercy'..."
"I'm sorry..."
"No need to apologise..." the figure said, wiping a tear off her eyes. "In fact... because of this... I will keep it quick."
Kali trembled nervously, as she fell to her knees, and bowed her head down. The figure also went down on her knees, staring longingly into Kali's face.
"For your humiliation... the insult spat into your face... I will redeem you..." the figure added. She raised her clawed hand behind, fingers extended. "Believe me... when I say this..." the figure continued, a noticeable hint of choking in her voice as though holding back tears, "what I'm about to do... though for our best interests... you may think I'm cruel for this..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Believe me... this... will hurt me more than it does you..."
*SLASH!*
Kali stared up at the figure, wide eyed in pain, as blood trickled on the edges of her mouth. She gurgled one last voice, before she slumped against the shoulders of the figure.
The figure stared blankly at the wall, and remained motionless for all the eternity a moment can give. She then slowly removed the claw from Kali's chest, allowing the blood on her fingers to drip, and cradled the now dead woman on her shoulders.
And there she wept.
And cried.
And wailed.
And then... she laughed...
And laughed...
And laughed...
And laughed...

However, instead of running into the colony, she ran right into the twin barrels of a certain green armored trooper's gun.
"Going somewhere? I think not," Kyte said. Before Zero could react, he dashed backwards, two large missiles materializing on his backpack as he did so. He fired them both at the ground in front of and below her, ripping a hole in the base of the floor and sending her plummeting down the space between elevator shafts.
Kyte immediately dove into the shaft after her. He wasn't going to take any chances with this one.

A moment after he dove he got a knee to the gut.
"It's people like you... The heartless b******s who are only out for themselfs and could care less about the people they step on to get what they want!"
Zero then brought both elbows down on his back and sent him down. She hung in the air with her bossters at max.
"My father... My mother... my sister... They all died cuz of people like you!!"
She sent a blast from her beam missiles down at him.
"How many more lives will be lost.. How many more children will end up like me... YOU F***ING BAS****S... I HATE YOU!! I F***ING HATE YOU!!!!!"
Zero deplyed her wrist reipers and got ready for round two, he was not your run of the mill trooper and from the looks she probably won't live through this.
Zero saw two tears hit teh glass of her helmet. "I will never forgive them.. Not for what they have done..."

Yumi returned to where Otomi, WeiLi, and Delilah were left off, her expression with a bit more relief now that she managed to find Souffle.
"Time for us to get back," she said, and carried the unconcious catgirl in her arms. "Coming with us, Otomi?"

"Are we going home, Yumie?" Souffle simply asked, nodding at the new people she and Winnie have met as she involuntarily stepped uneasily behind Yumie for instinctive protection. The sight of the battle hadn't escaped her, though; at the sight of the four dead bodies that were in armor reminiscent --- Souffle still remembered, and she was sure Kouji did as well --- of Camilla Diamond's armor three years ago, Souffle could only frown silently. At least, Souffle could take comfort in, Yumie and Winnie didn't seem hurt at all by the fight. "Who're they? Are they new friends of yours?"

Yumi glanced at Otomi and Delilah, and simply said, "We shall have to see."
With that, Yumi fired up the thrusters on her armour and, keeping herself low, headed back home.

Walking for the past four hours, Jake and Hitomi stumble up upon an abandoned airbase.
This looks like it's only been deserted for a couple of years," thought Jake as he looks at a freshly made hole in the chain-link fence, "But someone or thing is already here, and they haven't left yet. And we could sure use one a plane if there is one still here.
"What's the problem Jake," asked Hitomi as she walked up beside him.
"Nothing, but be on your guard, we're not alone," answered Jake as he raised his sniper rifle up.
"What are you going to do with that," asked Hitomi pointing to the sniper rifle.
"Getting a better look," answered Jake as the face guard lowered. A second later the thermal sensors turned on, exposing a large heat source just inside the hanger that was 300 meters in front of them.
"What is it," asked Hitomi was she readied her Hyper Bazooka.
"I can be sure, but I think it's a bioweapon, and a big one too," said Jake as the face guard moved back into its normal position, "And the only problem is that there's a jet in the hanger behind it."
"So let's just kill the thing and go," replied Hitomi.
"I would normally do that, but something tells me that's not the best idea," said Jake, "Give me a few minutes to think up a plan."

Kyte didn't make any effort at all to dodge Zero's blows, in truth they didn't even slow him down. When the beam missiles came his way, he simply twisted out of the way of a direct hit, the energy burning paths along the front and back of his armor.
Damage that was almost immediately self-repaired.
He turned back towards Zero, a faint blue glow coming from behind the 'eyes' in his armor's helmet.
"Is that your best? I can't see how you managed to get away from these idiots for this long," Kyte sighed, this battle was getting boring, but he did have an obligation to finish it. He drew his saber and flicked it to life, before aiming his shiled at Zero and unleashing a volley of micro-missiles at her, charging in right behind them.

Zero looked down at the missiles and set her limiters to off, this means she would have 120 sec of 200% output on all systems before she risked burn out.
She was silent as she fired a blast from her chest and tore trhough the smoke at top speed and at Kyte.
Her reipers doployed she dashed in for a swing at him. He cut one of her reipers near the base with his beam saber though.
"F*** you!!" Zero screamed, if not for her releasing her limiter she probably would have lost her arm in Kyte's counnter swing of his saber.
Knowing this her next attack was planned and as Kyte brought his saber in to cut her other reiper in two it retracted and redeployed to avode being cut in two, but even though planned Zero was only able to nick his shoulder armor.
Zero would have done better if she wasint in a rage like she was but either way this battle would probably end in the next move as Zero got ready for her final attack.
She kicked off sending Kyte back a it and clung to the wall for a moment and looked at him. with only about 30 sec left she knew this was it. She pushed off and was ready for the worst.
