A single ship is sailing in the Great Eastern seas. The lone ship is sailing where the waves will take her as dead bodies scattered on the deck, Blood spattered on the wall and on the floor of the bridge. Some of the bodies are wearing a dark blue uniform while others are wearing suits and dress with expensive jewelry like rings and neckless.
The ship has multiple holes on it hull and both of the main mast and fore mast are almost destroyed with somekind of propeler engines and wings.
Soon a young girl carrying a baby walks by the dead looking around. "Anybody?" She said as the infant started to cry "No don't cry" the girl said trying to calm the child until she herself started to cry as she hugs the baby.
The sun is already at its height and the cold salty breeze of the wind didn't help as the two are all alone.
Then, a shadow suddenly passed by that is followed with a strange loud sound taking the attention of the older girl. It passes again and again until she finally saw what causes it.
It passes again and again until she finally saw what causes it [https://img.wattpad.com/dddb2ea84eb6aab847d311956a7da1836b8d7dbe/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f664d344856772d6e4a70517539413d3d2d3937353637313238392e313661363264663032636361646330333238343034393032313537382e706e67?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
She then notices something under the water before revealing itself and stares at her and the baby she's holding. The Giant machine stares down at her with its two eyes as she trembles in fear.
A few weeks ago.
The Kingdom of Dalmasca is currently under a state of panic with the military deployed in all over the country. Both the Monarchy and the National Diet or the parliament issued a martial law, a state in which both sides must agreed upon before being passed along side the full mobilization of their armed forces.
On the streets of the Islands of Tugatog, Atiwe and Mukasya being under full martial law as the riots went out of control as well as the deployment of numerous Dagger Ls and Strike Daggers are walking down their streets dispersing them.
One such machine is a Raysta being used in bringing giant supply crates out of a cruiser towards a naval base. Inside the said crates are spare ammunitions and giant batteries collected during the last Valentine war in the fear that either ZAFT or the Alliance invade the country.
Within the beaches of all Island groups are large quantities of different trucks equipped with Linear Artillery to missiles and rocket and behind them are Strike daggers as well as M1 Astrays. On the city streets are armed men running around carrying large quantities of anti-Mobile suit and Tank weapons such as large wire guided missiles that was upsized in order to take down a mobile suit rather than its original anti-tank role. In the city hall are men and women getting their military uniform and gear.
They all lined up into two files before receiving their uniforms. One of them is Zylo Gills, He's one of atleast a few million reservist of the Royal army of Dalmasca. He join during the rapid military reservist expansion of the kingdom by the end of the first bloody Valentine war as a part of one of the Auxiliary Mobile Suit Core. A group of Civillian Mobile suit pilots given civilian mobile suits equipped with weapons such as the Armed Raysta type.
A military variant of the Raysta. The head of the machine has a mounted Vulcan pod for anti-personel use. The back of the machine is equipped with a custom thruster unit, that unit uses the same cross shaped Thursters but the two large verniers was replaced with a four smaller ones giving space for two additional Auxiliary batteries for longer operation time. All of the verniers equipped on the backpack was also customed to have a limited independent movement allowing the machine to perform large jumps and limited air time.
It uses a heavy beam pistol that is based on the beam pistol used by the DSSD custom but has better firing ranger and power without sacrificing its fire rate but uses more energy than the regular DSSD custom pistol. Lastly is the shield that is also based on the shield used by the DSSD custom, minor customization was done to allow the shield to carry a single beam saber inside of it.
Another one is the Raysta sniper custom. Its equipped with a boxy custom energy backpack with four auxiliary batteries that allows a Raysta become a sniper type as the backpack is wired to a long range beam sniper rifle with a built in camera. The sniper unit was built to take advantage of the Raysta's leg gimmicks.
Lastly is the Raysta heavy custom. This machine takes advantage of the multiple hardpoints of the machine as its equipped with two triple "Markus" mid range missile launchers, one on each leg. One heavy anti-ship bazooka or a 170 mm cannon depending on its role. and a custom beam cannon backpack that is equipped with five external auxiliary battery. Next to the batteries is a large heat exhaust for the heat to exit when ever the beam cannon is use. One the left arm of the Raysta is a buckler like shield that also houses its beam saber for close quarters.
All three of these machines are made only using hardpoint of the Civilian mobile suit equipped to save time and money in order to bolster their mobile suit corps during it expansion effectively. Although its not popular among reservist pilot like Zylo, Dalmasca has not much of a choice as they don't have an industry as powerful as the major powers and Orb and could only manufacture modifications of already existing machines. This also save the Dalmascan military in losing their far more expensive albeit obsolete mobile suits in combat.
But even thou they are fielding weaker mobile suits than the rest of the world, they manage to get the job done and built a sizable army to protect the Home Islands.
Zylo then reach his turn in the line and gave his military reservist ID and was given brown and orange uniform with black linings while giving his ID back. The ID went to a simple yet effective Scanning machine that scans a bar code that leads to another QR code which is used to identify the person if his a part of the military.
After he wore his uniform, he went towards the military armory on the other side where many more transport trucks are parked with military personnel unloading them. There are atleast two lines, one for the pilots where Zylo is currently in and another one force their ground troops like the infantry as well as other branches like the armored corps and the Artillery Corps.
On his turn Zylo was given a simple 9mm pistol as his weapon alongside a underarm Nylon holster and two extra magazines. Making his way towards the a truck that will bring him towards the Island's military base.
On the way there, Zylo saw with his own light brown eyes many mobile suits positioned to defend the Island for whatever they have. One machine is the Raysta Heavy Custom that is on a kneeling position. On the other side is a Raysta Sniper type that is also on a kneeling position but next to are atleast two giant cylinder shaped energy tanks the is wired to the Beam sniper rifle alongside the bulky backpack for a stronger energy source which will lead for a stronger beam with a longer reach.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Near them are M1 Astrays alongside Strike daggers daunting the Dalmascan colors of Green. The m1 Astray's red lining was replaced with Green while the Blue of the Strike Dagger was the one replaced. Along side that mobile suit group are the linear tanks with twin beam turret bunkers next to them.
On the other side facing the guard rails are missile half-trucks positioned to defend the area. The missile half-trucks are equipped with two twin tube mid-range anti-air missile. Near the half-trucks are the Dalmascan Royal Infantry equipped with their standard issue battle/assault rifles.
In the Dalmascan air space are Skygraspers, fighters built. Earth's mainline fighter. The only difference of the Dalmascan use fighter is it's secondary color that was changed from black to red. This fighter also lost its ability to add aditional striker packs by removing the many hardpoints of the fighter as the Dalmascan Military deemed it cost efficient to simply remove them.
The next thing that the truck passes by is Dalmasca's very own Mass driver that is currently under construction known as the Atiwe Mass Driver. There are currently two Mass Drivers that are currently under construction, The Atiwe and the Tugatog Mass Driver giving the enemy a perfect reason to attack them. Especially when both of them are nearly completed
Finally arriving at the military base with many different mobile suits are walking around carrying equipments to supplies. The truck then parks itself on one of many large hangars where the Raysta armed types are stored.
Zylo then finds himself inside on as the team commander who is using a Strike Dagger said "Alright, follow me in" as he and other Raysta units are following the commander.
Being positioned at near the second line of defense Zylo could only do is to sit inside his mobile suit and wait for further orders. All that Zylo could hear in the radio are people giving orders to others as the defense lines are almost done. "I there a reason that either ZAFT or the Alliance attacking us?" a Person his squadmates asked "What do you mean by that?" a female pilot asked "I mean, both ZAFT formally sighed a true peace treaty after with both sides making sure that war won't happen again" He continued.
"He has a point" Zylo said "After the war, both sides poured so much resoucers into hunting down Blue Cosmos and LOGOS Remants." he argued "Then who's jamming our signals?"
"Who knows?" Zylo answered. Looking behind them are many ZuOOTs that was bought from ZAFT.
Days pass by as the commotion is slowly dying down but the Dalmascan army is still on high alert with the Dalmascan Royal Navy being in full alert for any enemy fleet entering their waters with entire Carrier groups patroling the borders.
Back on land. Zylo is currently inside one of the Hangars eating a small meal right under his mobile suit. 'Bland' He thought as he slightly drizzle a small pack of salt. His sitting on the right foot of his mobile suit that is standing with multiple cables attached to its behind.
"Hey, have you? The higher ups as well as the embassies are trying to contact Orb or South America. Even the Atlantic Federation is having a hard time"
"What do you think is happening?"
"I don't know, I'm not a scientist"
He heard from three pilots walking pass by him. He then heard the commander shouting "Alright new mission! We will be deployed alongside the 43rd fleet. I want all of your Mobile suits to be combat ready by then. I will later announce when will we be deployed"
And with that, Zylo then proceeds to hastily finish his meal causing him to choke when a someone handed him a battle of water and said "Be careful when eating. We might have a our first casualty before the fighting even starts" Revealing to be a girl with dark red hair and light blue eyes.
"Name's Aina, Aina Chrocia. Pleasure to meet you" She said while offering her hand for a handshake "Zylo Gills" He answered while shaking her hand.
"Seeing your uniform, your one of the Auxiliaries"
"Yeah and?"
"Nothing just curious. By the way, I heard that the National Diet and the Monarchy are having a hard time to decide should they send their fleet out of our borders and into international waters. Given that its almost a week since we lost contact to any of our embassies overseas. Then, there's the sudden disapearance of the Islands from the further territories of the COSEAN."
"That'll be one hell of a panic if you ask me" Zylon said. "Lance Corporal!" someone shouted taking Aina's attention "The Captain is looking for you!"
"Welp, see you later then. Hope we see each other in some calmer times" Aina said as she walks away.
Zylo on the otherhand started to begin the orcedures to bourad his mobile suit. He first opened a small component that allowed him to activate the mobile suit outsided using a tubular key and sliding it downwards that reveals something similar to a access control. Using the same key to open it, Zylo inserted a five digit code and hears the humming sound of a mobile suit activating and its cockpit opening.
He then proceeds enter his via a wire on the upper cockpit hatch that he uses to get into the cockpit. Inside of the mobile suit, Zylo started to check his machine in anyform of problems that may arise during combat.
Within Royal Palace of the Dalmascan Island of Tugatog. A man in his mid thirsties is walking thru the Hallway. The said hallway is field with men armed with Battle and Assault rifles while some choke points has a heavy machine gun stationed. Looking outside are multiple Strike Daggers as well as 105 Daggers protecting the palace.
Reaching a certain door with two heavily armored men guarding it sees him and said "Major General, His Majesty is waiting for you" and opens the door for him.
Entering, he saw a group of people argueing about what move they should take. He heard a man wanting the entire Dalmascan navy to extend their patrols further out their borders while another one argued that they might end up causing a unnecessary war against the Major powers Such as Orb, the Atlantic Federation and the Confederacy.
"Your Majesty" The man said taking the King's attention as well as the other as he walks towards a Giant Round table that is featuring the Dalmascan Island groups. "Bartz, its been a while" The King said "Now back to the topic. As we all know, we lost our contact with the outside world and our ambasadors are pressuring us to reestablish it. We don't know if we're under attack or not" The King said.
"Your Majesty, if may I?" Bartz asked taking their attention. "We've already expanded our military more than enough. That includes our Navy, Ground Forces and Air Forces. I suggest we increase our Border Patrols with our Arial and Naval Patrols" he said.
The King nodded and looked at the rest of the men. "If we're going to do that, then its no different than patroling outside of our border" One General said. "But by if we exit our borders then our neighbors might think of this as a sign of aggression. Especially now that Orb and ZAFT signed an Armed Alliance." Another one argued
"We already called our Auxiliary forces, many of would question if we just have them go home. Not after the panic that ensued." another one said "Then have them join the patrols, more importantly, let them do the patrols while our professional army protect the homeland" Bartz suggested.
"And why would be listen to a fairly young General such as yourself with the King saying "Because he was able hold off and push the East Asian Forces when they invaded us. While you ordered a full retreat into Tugatog abandoned Mukasya that the Republic can use as a staging ground to push further into the homeland."
"My King, your giving me too much credit. It was both Orb and ZAFT that ended that war, although the Equatorial Union collapse and later turned into the Confederacy." Bartz said.
"The only good thing is that you managed to convince the higher ups from Orb to sell us their old M1 Astrays and make a deal with the Junk guild allowing us to buy and build Raysta's for military purposes." The King complimented the older general. Others showed visible distaste of the old man. They then continued their meeting about the crisis.
More days has passed and questions started to arise.
"What truly is happening?"
"Is this just a ruse for the government to announce martial law?"
Why are we not able to contact the outside world?"
Near the Dalmascan border, A single Judneau A-class submaribe accamponied by two Judon-class. What the Dalmascan military especially the navy pride itself is their fairly large and efficient submarine fleet. As well as their underwater combat capabilities.
"Sir, we detected an unidentified ship nearing our border"
"Ready the mobile suits to launch, have the Julia to launch her fighters and scout the area and the Jude with her mobile suits" the Judneau A's Captain ordered
"Jude has begun her flooding and the Julia is now rising to deploy her fighters" another one annouce.
