Prologue

January 24, 0081

Andrea sit motionless in her command chair onboard the Blitzkrieg. He once beautiful blue eyes were now dark with anger. She had been away from everything she loved for two years. Now she must comeback. `Colonel Lowenhardt, you are to take 4 Musai Class Light Cruiser's to Mars. Your mission is to locate and find any new Material on the planet. It's now 31st of December 0078, you depart tomorrow. You will begin your voyage home on the 1st of January 0081. Report to Side...'

"Colonel Lowenhardt, we are now entering Side 3's orbital range." The high-pitched voice of the Communication's officer startled her.

"What? Already? Are you sure?" Andrea replied doubting the young man's presumption.

"Yes ma'am. See for yourself." He thumbed a few buttons on the control panel, and a visual of the colony appeared on the main monitor.

Andrea nodded in agreement, and positioned the command chair in front of the comm. Screen. She eased a few buttons down on the right panel of the chair. After she did so the monitor flickered, and a harmless looking young man appeared.

"Lt. Rogers, ready the Zaku's for departure. We will be arriving at Side 3 soon, and we don't know if Zeon still has power there." Andrea was interrupted by the man

"Why wouldn't Zeon still have power there, Colonel?" He replied with a inquisitive look on his face.

"Nevermind, forget what I just said to you Lieutenant. Ready the Zaku's," Andrea said as she canceled the comm. The command chair shifted its position to the center of the bridge and Andrea began the procedures.

"Attention everyone, I have an important message to play. I received this in my quarter's, and I almost vomited when I heard it." Andrea said almost choking. She pressed a button, and throughout the Blitzkrieg this was being broadcasted.

`Attention Mars Fleet, this is Side 3. There has been a war going on for the last few month's with the Federal Forces. I'm going to make this short because they are raiding this place now. The Federal Forces have defeated us. I repeat the Federal Forces have defeated us. Proceed with caution on your voyage home. What the-...'

After hearing that message the whole entire crew gulped in fear, and some even began to cry. Andrea herself was even trying to hold back tear's. Every crew member onboard the bridge looked at Andrea with hatred.

"I'm sorry to have kept this from you. It was for your own good. Sgt. Richards could you send this message to Captain Schneider, and Lt. Colonel Ran. Tell them to ready the Main Cannon's and Mobile Suit's. No doubt the Feddie's have Mobile Suit's here." Andrea said with a low tone in her voice.
----------------------------
"Hey, Japa think you'll ever get it in with Andrea?" Raye said laughing. The rest of the ready room started to laugh too.

Everyone knew that Andrea had a thing for Japa, but wouldn't admit it. Some even go as far as saying that it's the reason Japa has a Mobile Suit squadron to himself. Japa knew it was from his excellent skill's as a pilot, and so did the Senior Officer's.

"You think you should be joking at a time like this Raye? I mean this will be our first Mobile Suit battle, and who know's what kind of Mobile Suit's the Feddie's have." Japa replied solemnly. Japa never joked around with the other pilot's. He always spent his time with Joachim in the Hangar.

"Enough you two. Andrea wanted us out by now, and we're ten minutes behind. Unless you want to get your pilot rank's suspended I suggest you hurry your ass' up." Joachim said his loud booming voice. He grabbed his helmet from his locker, and slowly eased it onto his head.

They all filed out the door, but Japa was the last to leave. He remained sitting in front of his locker. His head was hanging, and tears trickled off his cheek into his helmet. Joachim walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder. Japa looked up and grinned.

"It's about time we get some real action, isn't it?" Joachim said cheerfully.

"Yea it sure is. Hope we don't get our ass' kicked too bad." Japa said holding back his laughter. They walked out of the ready room, and towards the hangar.
----------------------------
"God damnit! Why the hell did Andrea keep this from us?!" Caris said slamming his fist into the side control panel, "I should have had Command over this damn fleet. Now her. Do what she say's and ready the Main Cannon's and Mobile Suit's." Caris said shaking his head covering his face with his hand.
----------------------------
`Figure's Andrea would so something like this.'Riko mumbled to himself, "What the are you idiot's doing just standing there? Do what she ordered! Idiots," Riko said shamefully "oh and one other thing. I will be departing in my Zaku. Lt. Connors take control." Riko said hopping down from the command chair. The bridge scrambled to get everything ready as he departed.

Riko hated being in Command of this ship of idiot's. The only thing he did like about this ship was the head technician. He was very old, and very laid back. When Andrea arrived on board the Dommkompf he always made moves on Andrea. Riko laughed when he remembered when Andrea slapped the technician.

As Riko neared the hangar he heard the sound of Zaku's taking off through the bay. As usual he kept his uniform on when he piloted. He walked in to see his customized Zaku being loaded onto the catapult. It glistened in shades of red and maroon.

EF Base Side 3

"Captain Nasaki, there is a small fleet of Musai's and Zaku I's heading for this colony. It might be the rumored Mars Fleet come home." The comm officer said

"They've returned home. Send out 4 squad's of GM's to counterattack the Zaku's. The Scarlet Knight will take care of the Musai's. Hurry or I'll have you courtmarshalled ." Nasaki said laughing.

"Yes sir!"

Nasaki walked out of the main control room, and towards his ship the Scarlet Knight. The GM's were already deployed and heading to the Zaku's.
----------------------------
"Japa, are you and your squadron ready?" Riko said over the comm interrupting Japa's train of thought.

"Huh? Yes sir. We're all here and ready." Japa replied in a low monotonous voice.

"McIlwee you ready?" Riko asked.

"Yes sir."

"Alright Mars fleet. Here come the Feddie's. Be ready." Riko said as if this was not his first battle.

Now the Mars Fleet enters the war for their survival...
