I just feel Rhythm Emotion...
Side 4's Texas Colony, once bristling with exotic life forms, a place where life was preserved and cultivated, was now hurtling on a path to destroy it. A three day journey from Earth, the mighty colony hurtled towards its unknown target. Fria Engel was a very strange man. He was a known terrorist and killer, but he seemed to not have a motive. Everything he did was for a different reason, it seemed. And now, his mobile suits were nowhere to be seen. The colony was seemingly deserted.
Aboard the Ruby, Rey Tatsuma was preparing battle plans to stop the colony. Texas was an enclosed design, much like those used at Side 3, and therefor nearly impervious to conventional weaponry. And even if they did break the colony into pieces, the pieces themselves would crash into the Earth. It was a very difficult operation.
What they had to do was get inside the colony, and turn it around. The booster itself had plenty of propellant to do so. It would be the Dragons Hoards job to do this, the Federation was trying to upshow its power by only having Tatsuma on this project. It was almost a punishment, really. Wakkein hadn't liked him much since his little stunt with Luna II's intercoms.
Problem was, nobody knew what was on Texas. The colony hadn't been visited by Federal nor Zeek for over a month now, and it was impossible to tell what kind of defences Engel had gathered. Even with the assistance of "Superstar" Sabine Rocos's task force and the few Zeeks the Duchy had sent them as a "measure of good faith", Rey was still a little worried.
"Is the Sigurd here yet?" asked Tatsuma. His crew was incredibly loyal, as always, and would never doubt him. And as always, Rey was doubting himself a little too much.
"No, but we just got word from them. They'll arrive in three minutes."
"Good. Prepare the mobile suits for launch. We shouldn't need to fire our cannons, but have them aimed for Texas anyway."
Rey just couldn't shake it. He had a very bad feeling about this. Any good commander wouldn't leave a trump card such as this completely deserted...
"Arm the ECM missiles. Tubes 5 and 6. Seven and Eight arm the AB's, and one through four arm multi's." ordered the Lieutenant. They couldn't hide ships in Texas, but...

"Hey mister spaceman! Don'cha know you've started something!"
"Hey mister spaceman! Don'cha know that you've got my heart a pumping!"
"Hey mister spaceman! I wanna be a spaceman too! Doo da doo doo doo!"
Sabine "Superstar" Rocos was trying to improve her image. She was quite famous amongst the Federation now, especially amongst the crew of the Sigurd, which instantly picked up.
"No sir it's Mp-pow p-pow p-pow p-pow!"
The captain grinned to Sabine. They were all Zeeks, really, even though they were working for the Federation. Revil hadn't asked too many questions, just gave them assignment as an Autonomous search and destroy unit. Long as they killed Zabis, they could have their fun.
"I'm gonna get to fight in space... Damn. This is exciting." said Eli Staedtler, walking into the bridge. A half dozen huzzahs went up to him as Sabine and her crew waved back.
"Have ye practiced in zero gravity yet, little master?" said the ships pilot. He was an old scallywag from Cuba, nobody knew how he ended up on the side of the Zeeks. But they had their ways.
Eli bumped his head on the roof in answer to his own question.
"OW! Err... No. Too busy watching out the window. The view is awesome."
"Har." responded the pilot. Somebody opened a bottle of rum, and Sabine started singing another song.

The Sigurd finally caught up with the Dragons Hoard, just as the colony came into view. Rey had their prepared warnings issued on normal radio channels, no response. Minovski density was low, but it was impossible to see anything inside the colony on radar, anyway. There was, however, one peculiar thing. A single EFSF transport, with four GMs standing on it, was coming towards them.
Rey hadn't heard anything about this. But, more help was always appreciated.
"Open up a comm to that ship. I want to know who they are. Have them dock next to the Ruby." he said to his crew.
"Comm link established."
"This is Sublieutenant Rey Tatsuma of the EFSF cruiser Ruby. State your designation and orders."
"kkkzkkzkkkkzkkkzkkz57thkzkzzzkzkkkkgkgkghhzkzkzarmakzhzhzhgneed repairsgggggzzzggzzzzzzz"
"Seems their radio is dmaged, sir. We won't be able to service them properly till after the colony... Thing..."
"Allright. Order them to stand tight next to the Ruby. We'll take their GMs and use them for our own task force."
---
"Allright men. Listen up. We're going to send all suits except for Elis sniper unit into the colony. You are to engage any enemy and capture the colonies command headquarters. The type of resistance you will face is unknown. Everybody ready?" said Rey. Takeda Haku, Rachel Raise, Michael Nelson, Sabine Rocos and Eli Staedtler all were. GM E's, GM Commands, Guncannons and the GM Juggler all prepared to launch.
"Ok then. Eli's going to be your cover fire. Let's get to work, people."
The mobile suit teams of the Dragons Hoard launched, heading straight for Texas Colony. Sabine led the way, jetissoning her two attack pods as soon as she was going at maximum velocity. The pods themselves couldn't maneuver well, so they needed a good boost of speed. The fleets MPCs locked onto Texas, preparing to shoot the thing to scrap if all didn't go as planned...
... I've got a bad feeling about this...
Sabine was worried. Something in her head she couldn't quite shake. She could feel another newtype in the area. One she hadn't felt before... Who was it? Something wasn't right. Just wasn't right. Just wa- -Zakus!
Rocos's GM Juggler stopped instantly. A grenade whissed passed the suits face, as suddenly Zaku Kai after Zaku Kai after Zaku Kai after Zaku Kai started coming out of every hole in the battered colony. The Federal task force, numbering 11 mobile suits, was quickly and obviously outnumbered by more than thrice their forces in Zakus.
The first shot, however, was fired by the Lunatics Dream. The Federal Space Transport, a standardly unarmed vessel, caught Rey Tatsuma completely by surprise as two of the large cargo containers on the thing broke off to reveal a pair of single-barreled MPC turrets. Already aimed at the Rubys main guns, the ship fired, taking out both turrets.
"I'll handle Eli, Zen. Get the hell out of there." said Fria Engel, his GM E type blasting off from another pair of cargo containers. A pair of AA machineguns popped out of the Dreams sides, firing at one of the Ruby's single barreled guns, taking it out as well. The ship then blasted off as the Aquamarine and Geode began to target it.
"Shoot that ship down! I want an MPC lock on it!" yelled Tatsuma. He was incredibly edgy, had been as soon as he saw the Zakus. He didn't like sending his men out blind.
"We can't sir! We've lost nearly all our port side guns!"
"Dammit! Allright, launch missile tubes fi- scratch that. Not gonna help now... FUCK. Get me that Mobile Armor pilot!"
---
To make matters worse, the four GM E pilots from the Lunatics Dream amongst the Federals began shooting at them as well. Two GM Commands and the Guncannon went down almost instantly, Takeda, Rachel and Michael barely able to dodge. The superstar, however, aimed her six beam rifles well, not surprised at all and taking out four Zakus with one barrage.
~left~
Sabine thrusted to the left, swiveling and taking out a fifth Zaku Kai with her beam rifles. There were more than thirty of the things, it was hard not to hit. Hard to dodge too, though, Sabine finding out as a flurry of grenades hit her mobile suit. Luckily, the heavily armored GM Juggler could take the punishment.
"Fucking Terrorist bastards! DIE!" yelled Rachel, taking out a Zaku Kai with her rifle. Her GM Command dodged a rain of machinegun fire, tearing another suit apart with her beam saber. As she did, though, more grenades hit her, taking out the Commands right arm and throwing it into a bad spin. Michael was having a bit better luck, but not much. His machinegun managed to severely damage three Zakus, only to have Takeda finish them off. Haku was doing pretty well, he was used to it by now, and went after the enemy GM E's. He'd just taken out a second when his suit got hit by bazooka fire, two Zaku HMT types joining the fray.
"Surprise!"grinned Ardan Masenfer, firing his bazooka. Haku was hit again, his lightly armored GM almost being completely destroyed. Before the finishing blow could come, however, help came from a strange source. Felix Duelge, MAF Specialist 1st Class, launched a rain of beam and missile fire from the Val Varo. Four Zakus went down in a hurry, leaving a hole for the Feds to get through.
"Sabine! Get them out of there!" yelled Rey. "Tubes five and six, fire, range, 200 yards. M-particle density is low, get a lock with tubes 1 through four and fire them directly following. NOW, people!" yelled Tatsuma. He was pretty worked up, it was starting to affect his crew.
Fria Engel dodged lance after lance of AA and laser fire as he went for Eli Staedtlers GM Sniper II. Eli had almost hooked up his LRBR when a 360mm bazooka round pelted him in the leg. Trying to jump out of the way, Eli was surprised as his suit merely went into a ridiculous spin, slowly floating off the Beryl.
"HA! You should stay on Earth." grinned Fria. Hitting the GM Sniper II with another round, he was satisfied that the suit was disabled. Firing another round at the Federal fleet, he blasted away for the Lunatics Dream, before the AA lasers caught him.
Sabine and the rest of the defenders managed to make it through the hole that Felix had made for them just in time. A pair of missiles streaked past, stopping and showing off powerful flares, sending CHAFF of all varieties into the battlefield. The Zaku's suddenly had no means of targetting anything, and were quite surprised when a good 50 missiles slammed into them. More than half the remaining defenders were destroyed.
"Whoo... That was close." sighed Takeda. The rest of the Zakus weren't pursuing, their job was clearly to guard the colony.
"Get everybody inside the ships. We need to leave and regroup. No point shooting at the damn thing..." said Tatsuma. Fria and Ardan waved goodbye with their MS as the Dragons Hoard flew away.
