Cecilia took a deep breath to calm herself down before nodding lightly and departing in her own core lander to make her way down to the surface. Her spar with Katyua the day before had been a real learning experience for her, and she only hoped that her fellow inexperienced pilot was able to learn something from the encounter as well. Yeah, that was a bad thing to think, considering that Katyua was now an enemy, however, Cecilia couldn't stop herself from feeling somewhat sentimental towards the girl, as she felt that the two of them had quite a bit more in common then Cecilia had initially expected.<br/><br/>She would rocket out, her core lander dropping her off on the outskirts of a major Martian city as the fight began. As she looked around, her head turning from side to side in confusion, she couldn't help but reach up and softly place her hand on her chest.<br/>"So... now what?"<br/><br/>.............................................<br/><br/>"Julian Arrowind, Neo Norway, taking off!"<br/><br/>The Neo Norway core fighter would launch a few moments after the Neo England one. As he made his way down, he stopped off to the side of a road that overlooked a pretty steep canyon, where there were several artificial craters that were left from previous Gundam fights in the area. "Big empty space like this... It's no wonder it's likely a Gundam fight hot spot."<br/><br/>.....................................<br/><br/>Two other core fighters would have launched as well, at separate parts of the ceremony. One of the earlier ones to take off would be the Neo America fighter, followed up about halfway through the ceremony by the Neo Greece fighter. Both of these cores would fly off in different directions, to unknown parts of the mars surface as the Gundam fight kicked off in force.
