"Captain! The Rook Class Warship, the Chariot XIII had arrived in our local space!" The officers said and the captain immediately nodded his head.
"Get them to sortie out as many as they could! Tell them to treat all Mechas in the space colony as hostiles! We do not have a single Mecha that is on our side!" The captain exclaimed as he was disappointed by how ill prepared his pilots were that they were not even able to be in their cockpits.
But at the same time, he was devastated and wanted revenge because these pilots were the same few friends that he had upon living in this accursed space colony. If it was not for the constant war, they might be able to return to their homes on a regular basis.
And to think that when such an opportunity came, terror had struck them the hardest. They still could not identify whether the attackers were of Xeon Union origin considering these Mechas that had descended were not of the usual models that the captain was aware of.
Perhaps they could be special customised forces but it still begs the question of why were they targeting this area for. There was nothing special and there were multiple refuelling space colonies like the rest as well.
The only unique feature that the captain could think of was that there were indeed some asteroid fuel mining procedures being done here to cope with the occasional excessive demands.
While those asteroid fuels could be extracted and can be processed here locally, they were not refined to the state where it was usable for consistent use. These asteroid fuels were added as a supplement to the existing fuel like an additive to increase the potential of the warship engine's capabilities.
However, it was at the expense of reducing the lifespan of the warship engines because the refinement of the asteroid fuel was not done explicitly.
But even so, these enemies were merely stealing their Mechas at the moment and not targeting or were they near their oil stockpile at all. Instead when the Chariot XIII had sent their United Federation Mechas down, they were ready to engage them.
The Space Vessel that the enemies had used as part of their transport, suddenly started to wrap away as if leaving the MG Gunners and the hijacked Mechas to their own demise... or that was what the United Federation's Rook Class Warship, Chariot XIII commander had thought.
They never expected it to suddenly emerge right beside them and the black slick space vessel that looked like a modern soundbar from Jin's world to slam itself towards the Warship. For some reason, it had managed to penetrate through its energy barrier and forced the Warship's crew to go into emergency mode.
That was why when given the chance to shine in this particular short film, the Night Fox did not hesitate to give it his all to hijack and take over the ship. Now that they had the ship under control, even unlock magic was not necessary as the Night Fox was able to have full control of the entire ship.
All it needed was to touch the circuitry once to have the analysis of the ship to be sent to him, enabling the Night Fox to have a full picture of the area.
Hence, with the Fishbowl Knights trashing the Chariot XIII, killing almost everyone they saw, they eventually were able to reach the bridge to kill the commander and the entire crew. Even communications to call for backup were not available since the Night Fox had full control of the Rook Class Warship and eventually, the Chariot XIII was under the control of the Fishbowl Knights.
"All clear. The Rook Class Warship Chariot XIII is ours." The leader of the Fishbowl Knights reported to the leader of MG Gunners while they had already made first contact with Chariot XIII's Mechas the moment they descended. However, the MG Gunners had an advantage mainly due to the fact that the Chariot XIII's Mechas were also using the standard United Federation General Robot Model.
They were called UFGR Soldiers for short but unlike the MG Gunners who had managed to descend in a particular way where it was impossible for them to get shot, the United Federation GR Mechas were open for fire.
The MG Gunners shot with fairly good precision as they knew that they at the very least had an energy barrier that protected them to a certain degree, unlike the United Federation GR Mechas which only had a literal triangular landing pad as their shield not just for the descent but also against the shots from the MG Gunners.
But what they did not expect was that the shots were accurate enough to break the landing pad which was a surprise since most shots from a standard rifle do not have the capability to go very far. But the ball game changed when there was mana to propel the bullet further and allow it to hit the landing pad.
This caused heat to burn up the pad and the UFGR Mechas needed to break off from the pad. In turn, it caused overheating on their Mechas, and some needed to sacrifice their shields to prevent the cockpit from being overheated. Others tried to use their jet packs to reduce or prevent terminal velocity so that when they land, they incur sustainable damage.
Yet they had to take evasive maneuvers to make sure that they were able to land without any problems.
So it became a chicken and egg game. Either they burn their thrusters to survive and attempt to survive the landing or vice versa. Both ways will result in an increased risk of pilot death but there was no other route for them to go. The end result is that the MG Gunners have an advantage that they can utilise and they were using it as much as they could before the UFGR Mechas were to land properly.
Eventually, some did land and some were killed in mid air descent. As predicted a few of the pilots wasted too much of their thrusters avoiding the MG Gunners' assault causing them to have insufficient thrusters power to land with 'grace'. This caused them to crash almost immediately upon touching ground while others sustained gravitational damage too.
It was a great field day for the MG Gunners.
