Night Witches

Prologue

The sound of rain hitting my Zaku's chassis filled my cockpit along with the mechanical whirring of its legs as she took each step. "Twelve clicks" I quietly told myself. I was just twelve clicks away from my vantage point where I will take out that backstabbing bastard. I was fueled by both adrenaline and rage but at the same time, I was terrified. The last words he ever said to me over our radio never leave my head and yet, I tone them out. They scared me.

This ride felt a lot longer than my usual trips. After what felt like forever I finally arrived at the vantage point. I proceeded to make my Zaku crouch and engage manual aim. After that I radioed in "Admiral Zabi this is Night Witch I'm in position, over." After a while I heard over the radio "Admiral Zabi this is Chief Petty Officer Tyler I'm in position and awaiting orders, over." Then over the radio came the voice of Kycilia Zabi stating " Understood, you two better get comfy you'll be waiting a while and remember no radio's until Night Witch fires the first round. Is that clear? No one knows of this op except you two, so don't blow your cover. Commence operation!" Chief Petty Officer Tyler and I both replied with "Roger!" and waited.

I decided to do a check on the equipment in my cockpit after all we'd be waiting about three hours, if our intel was correct. I checked my aiming scope and made sure the mount wasn't damaged so it won't break in the middle of a fight and found nothing out of the ordinary. 

Continuing my scan I found my family's heirloom that was passed downed to me when I joined Zeon's military academy. I took it of it's hooks and began to hold it. I as soon flooded with memories about my time in the academy both good and bad and figured since I have to wait on my taget I would let these memories play out in my mind while I wait.
