The Leviathan bellowed in pain as multiple Cluster Missiles impact it, but significant damage was avoided with the deployment of its I-Field. Ice Age Squadron closed in on Moby's position, but the Leviathan was ready for a swarm attack. I fired off a wave of concussive waves, with its immense pressure causing multiple cavitation bubbles to collapse and release a blinding light underwater. While the AMSU pilots are blind, the Leviathan swam close to Jericho City's foundation.
Commander Stanley
"Give me a sit-rep Lieutenant Skorj."
"Sir. It looks like Moby is getting quite close to Jericho City."
"As long as it stays away from the fusion generators, we should be fine."
"That's the problem sir. That Leviathan is actively searching for the fusion generators. Maybe to leech off energy."
"That's going to create a possible nuclear scenario that would be extremely difficult to deal with!!"
I raised up the holo-prompt to reach the AMSU pilots in Potenza's ocean. They need to know this information so that they can create an effective battle plan.
"This is Commander Stanley to all AMSU pilots. Moby is confirmed to be searching for Jericho City's fusion generators. If that Leviathan reaches the generators, we cannot guarantee Potenza's safety. You all need to hurry, over."

"Roger that. Stanley we have gotten through the I-Field. Ryan's drill arm is starting to crack the forcefield. We should be ready to unleash our full force later." |

Got the news from the Commander regarding Moby's attack patterns. Not good news at all. If that Leviathan touches those nuclear fusion generators, I can imagine all of Jericho City crumbling down. That is not an option the ALT can afford to take. Nigel and I quickly swam after Moby, hoping to catch it off-guard. Once in range, I take out my HoloCannon and launch several Cluster Missiles towards the Leviathan. Each missile connects, causing Moby to get angry towards Firebolt Squadron.
"Watch out Nigel, incoming!"
The Leviathan fired off massive amounts of energy beams that literally boiled the waters surrounding the blast radius. The numerous bubbles produced blinded my RAIDER and made me vulnerable to another tail-whack from Moby. Disoriented, I spun around aimlessly. |

Oh wow. It's going for the generators huh? We really need to hurry up then. Just wish I could use my powers, this water is just extinguishing it. I'll just have to settle for the normal weaponry then. Again, I use my grappling hook to try and lure that big sea leviathan towards me like I did earlier and then attempt to shoot it again. Risky, but it's a plan for me. Plus, the Firebolt Squadron's seems to be getting attacked by it. just though I should help another fellow squad leader. |

"I finally broke through the I-Field of the massive Leviathan." Ryan reported.
"IceAge 01 to other squads. I-Field is down, at least one part of it. I exposed a weak spot."
Benson used his Ice Beam at Moby, freezing him completely. Ryan and his clone shot at Moby. Alexander shot some plasma Artilery rounds. Samuel barraged Moby with his barrage missiles. Winston grabbed the Leviathan slowing it down with his Grappling Hook. Alexander slowed it down using his vines. |

I swim in melee range, and start to smash Moby again with my Rock Smash after grabbing it with my left arm. If I can't grab it, I blast it with my HoloHAC. My drones return to the hangars to wait for a surprise attack.
"Ifrit 10, getting revenge on Moby." |

The Leviathan appeared to have been frozen for a second or so, before completely cracking the ice off and bellowing out a hateful roar. It rushed the AMSU pilot that had attempted to kill it via freezing, ignoring the other AMSU that had grabbed onto its tail and flinging rocks to try and damage it. Moby is now ticked off, and nothing can stop its rampage. The Leviathan smacked the Ice Age Squadron pilot's AMSU across its head, sending the AMSU swirling around underwater.
Eric
That Ice Age Squadron pilot is in big trouble. We need to buy him some time to try and let him re-stabilize. Nigel took aim and gave me some suppressive fire with his HoloHAC while I closed the distance to try and deliver a gut-punch to that Manta Ray. The Leviathan was so focused on trying to kill that Ice Age pilot that it didn't even notice that I was closing in until it was too late. I flung off an upper-cut with my RAIDER, letting out a large amount of blood from the Leviathan's mouth. Now its hateful eyes peered at my AMSU, though I entered into my combat position to retaliate. |

I'm thinking of what might be effective against the Leviathan. Hmm... my cluster missiles from earlier seemed to work. Wonder if anything else would work. I'm at a disadvantage in water here. Well, I think I'll just shoot another batch of cluster missiles at the beast. That should work. Maybe. I don't really know. I'm such a useless leader. But oh well that's just me. Now, to actually do it. I target the Leviathan once again, then shoot another batch of cluster missiles at it. That should damage it, even for a little bit. Maybe. |

Moby noticed the sudden underwater explosions that bypassed its I-Field and turned to face the source. Immediately identifying the assaulter, an AMSU unit, the Leviathan switched its focus from Firebolt 1 to an Ifrit Squadron member. The retaliation was swift, smacking the AMSU unit and sending it tumbling away. The Leviathan did not even give the mecha time to react, as it quickly followed up its tail-whip with a barrage of energy beams towards the AMSU's chest area, causing some damage to build up.
Eric
That Ifrit Squadron pilot is not going to last if the Leviathan is going to completely crush him. Nigel and I pursued the rampaging Moby and fired off more holo-artillery to try and catch its attention towards us. It's quite odd to see that this Leviathan focuses its attack on only one target each time. Maybe we could use that to our advantage... |

*Benson*
This is bad... We made the same mistakes.
My AMSU is filling with water. I may not survive...
"Ice Age 01 to other AMSUs. I may not be able to fight the Leviathan anymore. Please send me to the hangar for repairs. My stabiliser is damaged along with my pilot hood."
Alexander pulled 2 big rocks and attached the vines holding the Leviathan back to them. He then summoned 2 more vines and atytached them to two more big rocks.

I got an urgent message from one of the Ice Age Squadron pilots. Looks like his AMSU is taking in water and not in a state for combat. I ordered Nigel to escort that Ice Age pilot back to the surface of Jericho City where the dropships can pick up the damaged AMSU unit.
"This is Firebolt 1 to Ice Age 01, roger that. Firebolt 2 will escort you out to Jericho City. Await for dropship pick-up, over."
Tracker continued to manage my AMSU's vital systems while I fired off more cluster missiles towards the enraged Leviathan, Moby. I definitely took some damage as a result of the pummels that Moby's tail-whacks gave me, but the OESS managed to block off most of the lethal attacks. It's really frustrating to be unable to use my powers down here underwater.
"Tracker, give me a status update."
"The RAIDER has about 69% structural integrity left. At 50% we could start seeing flooding and collapsing hulls."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"In other words, don't get us killed Eric."
"Don't worry. I'm sure I won't."
As I maneuvered around Moby's body for another clean burst from the HoloCannon, I noticed a peculiar energy crystal on Moby's belly. It pulsated from green to white and seemed to exude some sort of energy. Could that be Moby's I-Field Generator? If we take that out, we should be able to finish off Moby in no time. |

*Benson*
Ryan seeing the crystal that is the I-Field Generator went and drilled through the crystal. The Crystal shread down a a very fast rate because it was powered by a turbocharged Silentum Drive.
Benson was escorted to the dropships. Once he reached the surface, he got back to AFS Guardian which escorted him back to the ALT Hangar. His HUD was malfunctioning, his controls were nearly cut off and his pilot hull was severely damaged which revealed the outdated body and drive. He would either need a new AMSU, which would make him unable to fight for 2-3 ARCs, or some new Modules.
Alexanders Vines weren't holding quite greatly. The rocks were starting to be moved slightly. They were very big rocks but since the Leviathan was huge, it could move the rocks.

Moby recoiled in pain as one of the Ice Age pilots managed to drill into its I-Field Generator crystal. The Leviathan had not expected its enemies to notice its one weak point, and paid dearly as a result. Most of its I-Field instantly collapsed and fizzled out, making the Leviathan extremely vulnerable. However, that did not mean that Moby was going to go out without a fight. The Leviathan now cornered, began to fire off random energy beams in all directions at full power, with each beam capable of severely burning through AMSU armor.
Eric
Yay, we got the I-Field Generator! Wait... oh boy. The Leviathan is really, really ticked off now. It's firing its energy beams in all sorts of directions without a care, likely because it knows that without an I-Field it is quite vulnerable. I tried to get out of the way of one of the energy beams but it connected. Even then, I was barely saved by my OESS activating in time.
"Tracker, is the OESS control bus still in peak form?"
"Well if it wasn't you wouldn't be alive right now."
"Got it."
I activated the Photon Blade, quickly filling my field of vision with bubbles from the extreme heat generated by the blade underwater. Not that vision was entirely necessary, considering the rather dark and murky water that surrounded the RAIDER. Tracker pulled up the target indicator using sonar, so I had a clear shot. I charged towards the Leviathan, driving the Photon Blade deep into the gaping wound left in what used to be an I-Field Generator. The Leviathan bellowed a dying roar as its various crystals stopped blinking in a uniform manner...
"This is Firebolt 1 to all friendly AMSU units. Moby is down. I repeat, Moby is down, over."
Potenza is safe once again... |

*Benson*
As we saw Moby collaspe to the floor we rose back up to the water. Waiting for our dropship.
We saw the city, safe and sound as we floated on the surface of the watery planet. I bet all off the citizens of Jericho City are happy as well. The day is saved for them. Wondering what our next mission is we waited. Then we heard a comms from Benson back at the AMSU Hangar.
"Ice Age-01 to other Ice Age members. How is it going?"
"We have successfully defeated the Leviathan. Potenza is safe once again."
"Great job. Meet me back at the Hangar. My AMSU is going under repairs. It should be up in 2 weeks. Over."
We shut down our transmission link as we floated in the surface of the water. This time only AFS Guardian was here to pick us up. We saw it in the air desending towards us.

I give a thumbs up to Firebolt 1.
"Nice, Firebolt 1. That was too close... My AMSU has taken light damage."
I wait for the COFFIN dropship. |

It's over. Finally over. Another Leviathan is dead, but this war is still not over. Nigel finished his escorting duties and returned to my side, after which we both made our way back to the evacuated Jericho City's beach. It was a bit of a struggle to get back on land, as I had to drag the rather heavy RAIDER onto the shore when my Neural Link Armor was feeling a little sluggish. From the distance I saw several dropships incoming to pick up Firebolt Squadron.
"Nigel, how's your RAIDER doing?"
"Well, my AI Serenity seems to think that I did a good job."
"I'm pretty sure that Serenity is simply providing lip service. Man, that is a sorry looking AMSU."
"Hey Eric! Don't go making fun of Nigel's combat abilities!"
"Sorry Serenity."
Tracker gave out a hearty laugh at Serenity's sudden defensiveness, claiming that the AI had a crush on Nigel. I told Tracker to knock if off as the dropships lowered their specialty cables to lift up my RAIDER. The HUD gave off a confirmed friendly IFF tag to those dropships, so I knew that it wasn't some random dropships trying to kidnap me.
The ride back to the NUSS Artemis II took a bit longer than expected, considering that the orbit transfer window was not ideal. Even then, it was ultimately only an hour delay, so I didn't complain much. Once docked in my AMSU hanger, I shed my Neural Link Armor and walked out to some not-AMSU air. Nigel caught up with me in the hallway, where I greeted him and headed down for the debriefing for this mission.
(debriefing will happen soon) |

*Benson*
Ice Age took AFS Guardian to the Hangar where they would close off their controls and strip off their AMSU armour. They then took a last look at Jericho City. They sat on the seats and waited. The drop ship roared with a start. They turned on their transmission link to hear the debriefing. |

I was in the hangar of the AFS Golem.
"Nice one, guys! Potenza is saved!"
I head to debriefing, hearing the garage repair my AMSU. |
