Skullheart’s offer got exactly the answer she thought she’d get but it had been worth a try anyway which was why when the intruders responded by opening fire all of Skullheart’s squad acted immediately. They broke off into prearranged groups of three and split up with practiced movements. The flurry of beams that came from Strike Freedom merely resulted in a couple of grazes on some of Skullheart’s units as the girls took evasive maneuvers to avoid the beams while managing to get into a flanking around the girls.<br/><br/>One unit led by the red armored GM Canon Test Type whose armor and weaponry seemed way too large for the small girl, staying in the center to provide suppressing fire, focusing on the charging Destiny with the heavy canons on her shoulder while her two teammates fired their guns to slow her down while GM canon readjusted her aim. Meanwhile the two other units took position on the left which was led by the curvy green clad Kampfer prototype with large ahoge and the right led by the slimmer indigo Zudah, making it difficult for the academy girls to find cover or allow them to group up and attack a single unit while the two groups focused their fire on the group of girls who were staying at a distance and firing.<br/><br/>Skullheart had had to leave one of her powerful subordinates back at her base due to uh differences in tactics but she was confident in the group she had brought with her. They were all test bed and prototype mobile suits, those who either didn’t make it to mass production or were preproduction suits that still had errors to work out. However, they were all veterans at this point thanks to the frequent raids and stealing of supplies from the UN. It allowed them to make up for their lack of individual power with skill and teamwork.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Skullheart had her own challenger to deal with. Her beam shield slid over her hand as she turned it on which stopped the bullets and rendered them harmless. She strode forward at a steady pace, meeting Gouf’s charge head on. Out from her right shoulder popped a beam sword, which she drew with a single easy movement. It spoke volumes about her confidence. The moment Gouf struck there was a clash of blades as the gundam in front of her blocked the strike. That was when she unfortunately discovered that X was not like her subordinates. She had power, overwhelming power to go with her skill and Gouf had just voluntarily challenged her where she was strongest.<br/><br/>She laughed loudly as their blades met. “Ho ho ho You’ve got guts I’ll give you that much. But you didn’t do your research, did you?” She questioned with a smirk as she began to overpower Gouf, shoving her blade to the side. At the same time she swung her free hand and her anchor whip deployed, the scissor arm wrapping around her leg. “Let me give you a lesson in the Pirate’s Aesthetics. Number 18 says, Formidable opponents merit exhaustive research!” She announced as she tugged on the chain that connected them and released it, sending her crashing into Hi-Nu and Kyrios.  “And really you only send one person to greet you host? I’m hurt.”<br/><br/>Sandrock and L glanced at each other as the chaos of combat began. Finally, this is what Sandrock had been waiting for. But there were so many targets to pick from. Where to start? Deciding on the group with the green girl she, along with L who had the same idea charged towards her, to tie up one of the flanks and break the encirclement or at least get everyone some breathing room so they didn’t have to worry about being surrounded.
