"SIR NOW ENTERING COMBAT!" proclaimed one of the bridge officers to the masked commander who merely smiled "good all ships prepare your main cannons. hold fire till i give the order....all ships prepare for ship to ship and anti mobile suit combat." then he cut the com to the other vessels and then shouted to his crew "allright aim valients and godfrieds, load all missle tubes with tomahawks, release antibeam depthcharges and prepare the main cannon for my signal" he was calm as he spoke all this not even breaking a sweat. "SIR 3 UNIDENTIFIED MOBILE SUITS....THEY MAY BE THE NEW SUITS THAT ARTERON HAS ACQUIRED!"  the commander smirked "if so then i'll go out to test them myself...a few new models shouldn't be too much trouble" his smile grew<em>oh how fun they are making this and with the honors for shooting down those menaces i should get a promotion and win enough trust from the government to acquire a slot to speak sometime.</em>then he stood "yes...i think i'll go out myself" and with that he dashed down to the locker room pulled on his red flight suit and climbed into the sazabi then he contacted the bridge "this is Drake in sazabi i'm launching" and with that he was on the catapault feeling the familiar sense of g-forces as he was shoved out of the hanger of the ship and out into space. he quickly zoomed into the combat zone hovering around to see what he could see then over the com he stated "all vessles fire your main cannons"<br/><br/>Green beams fired from the cannons  of the earth forces vessles and flew at the Arteron Fleet. Drake himself flew in blasting the small fry that might get in his way "hmm....still like shooting fish in a barrel......come out little aces and make this fun" he mumbled as he continued ripping through the mobile suits that attacked him.
