Chapter 20. The Death of The Unlimited.


2 Days following the encounter between Adam Novus and Marcus Falden the Iron Fist had completed repairs at Washington space fortress, the Iron Fist headed off towards Earth leaving mars and the chaos of Red Fury behind. At least that’s what the 181st expected to take place. Once the Iron Fist entered the Martian Reef zone, a vast area of asteroids, about 75,000 cubic miles in diameter. A warning alarm went off inside the Bridge. Arturo who for the last 4 hours had been asleep at the controls, letting the ship run on autopilot. Jumped up from the sudden burst of the alarms. All across the Bridges main holo screens tactical data appeared and two solid red triangles where identified as having no friendly TA signatures.

“The hell, we got company?” Exclaimed Arturo as he began scanning the two unknown objects. Soon his eyes widen in realization. Wasting no time he keyed in the internal communications system and dialed for the Captains main quarters.

“Captain, do you believe in Christmas?” Arturo’s grin could be seen on the holo display at Marcus desk. However Marcus was busy doing abdominal crunches on the floor, so he could not see him.
“…. No. Not sense I was 7.” Marcus continued his exercises.
"I am so going to crush that preatty boy Adam, next time I fight him. Oh boy is he going to feel it. My foot is going to be all the way from his ass to his throat." Marcus spoke to Arturo, as he still continued working out.
"Ok, well shure, whatever, anyway someone likes you cause they just dropped two MASSIVE gifts for you. I have confirmed and target locked both the Unlimited, and 1 Y-Light cruiser. Both shall be crossing our flight path in exactly 9 hours.”

In a lightning moment Marcus face appeared in Arturo’s Holo screen.
“WHAT? No way, you fucking with me right.” Marcus face showed his clear astonishment at the present situation.
“Why would I lie. Here look for yourself.” A second screen appeared next to his image this time it showed the ships sensor and the two positively identified ships.
“Oh boy now this is what I call luck. Prepare for combat. I will be at the bridge in a second.”

“Yes Sir.” Arturo’s image disappeared into nothingness.

In a split second Marcus threw on a shirt and ran for the bridge of the ship. Already the alarms signifying the ship was about to enter combat where blaring, all across the ship. All the Iron fist crewmembers ran for their designated stations.

Much to Arturo’s amazement, both the Unlimited and the Y-light ship did not change course. After 9 hours of running the Iron Fist at full combat speed. They had finally entered weapons. All four cannons on the ship turned on to there single out pray.

This time we play it my way. Arturo thought as he waited for the ships computer to make all the adjustments, to get a clean shot. Unfortunately for the Unlimited its weapons ranger was much smaller, then the Iron Fist. It would take the ship another 5 minutes before being at range of its main cannon.

A green circle lit up around Arturo’s intended victim and the target telemetry data all read green. Without even thinking twice Arturo just smiled and pressed the fire button. Instantly 4 beams of pure destructive energy shot out, from the ships main weapons. All aboard the Unlimited held their breaths as the beams approached them. The ships pilot frantically tried to make the ship avoid what seemed a sure death. Except the beams only came within ten meters of the Unlimited’s hull, paint and the upper layers of the armor began to burn, from the intense heat, but no real damage came to the ship. All aboard the ships bridge immediately looked behind them as they realized who was being targeted.

The Y-Light four rear engines, where all but vaporized in one massive consuming storm of fire.

Michael, could only hold on to his control panel as the explosion rocked the ship. Alarms all echoed across the ship. With its rear engines gone, the Y-Light had lost its one superior edge over its enemy. That being its superior maneuverability.

“Amanda launch now see if you can at least draw their attention.” The captain of the Unlimited said as she looked into a holo screen at the face of the ships MF pilot. The ship only had two pilots and out of those only Amanda’s MF was battle ready. Deacon Perez the second pilot, had all but lost his MF when encountering the Diabolos MF.



Inside the ships MF hanger Amanda was already on the launch ramp, and as soon as she got the clear signal launched into space. Unfortunately for the Unlimited and especially for Amanda, Marcus was already flying head long into the attack range of his MF. Desperately Amanda fired, her lacer rifle at Marcus MF. However his superior machine all but danced around her energy beams.




“Amanda what are you doing stop that Mobile Frame NOW.” Screamed the captain over the open communications channel. The Unlimited fired its anti MF guns at the incoming OZ-054d MF, but Marcus simply adjusted the controls and avoided all incoming hostile fire.



“Damn you go down. DIE, Die, Die.” She screamed as she continued to fire, but the MF just kept flying for the Unlimited, easily avoiding all her attacks.
Her heart was at her throat. She new she had no choice but to shoot the OZ MF down. She continued to chase it down, however her Shade was no match for the OZ mf and soon Marcus left her targeting range.

A clear tone rang inside the cockpit of Marcus MF. This signaled that his MF had entered effective combat range of his main weapon.



“DIE.” Screamed Marcus as he targeted the Unlimited and hit the fire button. A massive beam of blue energy, bolted out and head straight for the Unlimited. All eyes on the ships bridge where transfixed on the incoming beam of energy.
The beam tore right through the ship vaporizing everything in its path and setting the rest of the ship in a giant fireball. On the Bridge everyone burned for all of 4 seconds.             Long enough for them to feel the pain of the fire. The Captain was unlucky enough to feel as her clothes where shredded and burnt along with her skin. She screamed but it was a soundless cry, as there was no oxygen left in the ship, just intense fire.





“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo.” Screamed Amanda as she watched the expanding fireball of what once was the Unlimited

            Hidden in the shadow of a near by asteroid field Apollus sat inside his MF, contemplating when to attack. He had participated on the assault to the Prometheus, EAP deep space research station, and MF garrison, along with the Unlimited and the Y-Light frigate piloted by Michael Lyth.

This is pathetic, that idiot girl could even put a dent on this guy. No matter I will soon crush him with my Power.

“We got trouble I just picked up another ship on intercept course. It’s a light TA Mobile Frame carrier.” The image of Jessica appeared at his lower right screen.
“Mhhp more cannon fodder, I will send all these TA bastards back to where they belong.” He watched a new screen appear on his left side monitor, and watched the ship enter into the combat zone.
“Be careful this could get ugly.” Jessica’s face reflected her worries for him.

“Yo we got company it seems a transport, saw the battle and is asking if we need assistance.” The image of Arturo appeared on Marcus front monitor on small screen to the upper right corner.
“Good tell them to handle this ###### We need to get to Earth now.” Arturo’s image diapered from his screen. The OZ mf turned towards the direction of the Iron Fist as the TA carrier, approached the disabled Y-Light.

“Forget hiding in the shadows, these TA Bastards are going down now.” Apollus brought Stricken up to full power and blasted out of the asteroid field. Heading straight for the TA carrier.

Aboard the carrier the radar stations officer screamed as he picked up the MF on his screen. All aboard prepared for combat alert. Unfortunately the carrier was en route to the Washington space station in order to pick up the new production model MF.

“Emergency, we picked up an unknown MF heading our way. We need back up now.” The message came through, as Marcus was about to land on the Iron Fist launch ramp.

“WHAT,” not wasting time the OZ mf quickly spun around and blasted at full throttle, towards its allied ship. He soon picked up the unknown unit on his sensors, and was astounded at its incredible speed.

“Que Coño es esto. What MF is that fast. Wait is this that punk I fought the other day.”
He quickly opened up the MF’s throttle to full power, putting all energy into his main boosters. From the bridge of the Iron Fist the OZ frame looked like a crimson comet, heading off into the void.

“The TA deserves nothing but Death. You are all beyond salvation.” Screamed Apollus as his MF Stricken moved in for the kill.


The destruction of the TA carrier, brought Marcus to a whole new level of pissed off. His entire body just contracted.

“Boy, I am going to tear you apart.” He spoke into an all frequency COM link, knowing the pilot of the blue and golden MF would definitely hear him.

"What, hah you TA Dog come and I will Cruch you as well." Screamed Apollus, as he let his rage take over him.

"I am so going to enjoy kicking the living shit out of you. Te voy a partir el Culo, come-mierda."
"WHAT, DIEE."
Striken Charged with its weapon high in its hand, its thrusters at Full power, as the OZ MF also Charged foward. Its on Boosters already at Maximumand its excalibur class sword fully extended and powered.
