The sky in its hazel hue has beauty to it and it's scary in a way, the unknown of what is going to happen.
The sky is filled with imperial vessels and valeum ships as well. Starfighters zooming past battling each other, explosions left and right in the air from the AA batteries on the ground and from the Battle in the sky. Then I see the city on the surface. It was vast in its size, now a battle zone. The ZZX 10 unit is black with red lines and the imperial symbol on its armor, the light from the sun shining off it. I engaged the wings of the mech my decent slowed. The mech has experimental wing units and float systems. Then the commander spoke through the communication system in the mech. "Zel, how is the decent" "smooth so far" I replied, "good, when you land move and make contact with your squad" he spoke back to me and with a simple reply I said "yes sir" I silenced out the nose again to ponder on my thoughts. The commander has a gruff voice but a sense of kindness to it. But he was strict and raised me so, like his father, good manners and be respectful. His skin was pale and
Five o'clock shadow for facial hair and, his unkempt grey short hair. He is in his late 40s. But he has been there for me. Wail in my thoughts the suits alarm went on, ring loud beeps. The suits AI speaks "warning, warning inbound missile" "activate the destabilizer" I ordered the AI "yes sir" it replies. Then the missile veered off course. Then exploding away from the mech. The destabilizer causes electrical or mechanical objects to go haywire. This is one of the many things this mech can do it is like a one machine army apparently. I have trained with the mech in simulation but it is different from what I know. "what fired at me" I ask the AI "it was a valeum assault fighter" there it is, I say back to my self. The craft steering by the front of the mech to make another run. "fire two AA missiles"I ordered it "yes sir" it replies. The missiles launch from the back by the wing units. The missiles track there target and with no remorse, they hit the craft. An explosion erupted from the craft and it was no more. I was closing into the surface the view unchanged. Then before the forest by the city was in more detail and the definition of the city was more vibrant. I saw more of the battle in the air with all of the explosions left and right. I saw multiple ships falling to the surface than having violent explosions and tumbling apart. Once I landed I tuned in to the communication lines to know what is happening. "what is the status of the 8th infinity battalion" one voice spoke then another replied "the battalion is in the city in combat in the main square" I connected to other lines "MEDIC, OH GOD, SOMEONE I NEED A MEDIC!" this voice yelled in agony. Then I connected another line" I repeat air strike I'm bound, I repeat air strike I'm bound." this one replied. Our forces are in chaos, but it is the first strike, our forces will reorganize them self's I am sure of it. My proximity warning went off, a Valeum AF4 Sutherland closed in on me with the intent to protect and serve his Empire and I am his enemy.
