It's The Final Countdown

[cityship]

This was it. Endgame. The crux of the battle, the turning point, those crucial moments that would decide if the crew won or lost, that would decide if the Ohm would reign victorious or go running with their chitinous tails between their legs.

Did the crew have enough grit to win? Could they defeat a full Ohm fighting force?

With the flagging confidence of the GIA forces, it'd be up to the crew to turn the tide.

And one of the crew would pay the ultimate price to make sure the others walked away alive.

[ooc: everything is up!]

"Gundam Exia, moving in."

Evading enemy fire, Setsuna started moving ahead, going towards the Leviathan.

As Celestial Beings' units moved out, another, much gaudier unit moved in from elsewhere in the battlefield, beam rifle firing away at the Leviathan. "Cagalli Yula Atha, moving to assist Celestial Being - and don't even try to tell me no, you need the help right now!"

Cagalli -- they'd met before, hadn't they? She smiled through the stress as she continued at bridge, awaiting Sumeragi's orders on any change in tactics now that they had an extra number on their side. She had less trouble than she was sure most of the others likely had at adjusting to not being everyone's enemy.

"Catapult sequence all set. Lockon, you're ready to go!"

"Heh." He grinned, glancing over at Haro as if his orange partner could read his mind. Which, actually, Lockon sometimes believed.

"Dynames, Lockon Stratos - launching!"

Well, she wasn't going to waste precious time trying to argue the girl down. Not right now, anyway. "Cagalli, give them back-up fire if you can - don't get too close to the units, though."

No telling how GN particles affected other-world tech.

If Miss Sumeragi wasn't going to argue, Setsuna wasn't going to either. Focusing on the task at hand, he made a strafing run along the length of the Leviathan. He managed a few hits on the firebugs, but didn't appear to cause any significant damage on his own. He also took a couple of hits, but the GN Arms was still in tact.

When he reached the front of the beast, he unloaded with all four canons, converging them all at one point in an attempt to weaken and punch through its shell.

Exia's blast certainly did start to weaken the Leviathan's armor, but it would take a bit of time before it could get entirely through.

Meanwhile, though, Shrikes began to move in from all sides, attempting to stop Exia's attack while the spine-like turrets along the Leviathan's carapace opened fire at the others.

Backup is just what she's suited for right now, armed with a battery of remote turrets and defensive systems. "Roger! Watch out Setsuna!"

She puts basically the minimum effort into evasion, avoiding anything beyond a few scorch marks on her shield, as all seven turrets launch in a computer-controlled course. They move around Exia, taking shots at angles that neither put them between the Shrikes they're targeting and the Gundam, nor risking hitting any allies if they miss.

"Haro!" Lockon ordered. "I'm leaving you in charge of the defenses."

"Roger! Roger!" Haro's "ears" flapped as his eyes blinked to indicate he was taking over the controls.

He eased Dynames into a comfortable, relatively still position as he adjusted his equipment. If Setsuna and that girl were going to keep moving around like that, he'd have to rely on manual aim.
