31_Days - Gundam W
...I need a GundamW icon again. *makes a note to cover all fandoms at once for a change*
Title: The Escalation of Education
Day/Theme: Jan 6 / Reaping nothing from this helps everything
Series: Gundam W
Characters: Quatre Winner, Misc. Maguanacs
Rating: PG
Quatre steadied Sandrock as a missile blast threatened to push it back. OZ was really packing a punch today. Perhaps they were beginning to learn what they were up against. He glanced at a statistical readout scrolling on his right-hand screen. Even with his personal army with him they were outnumbered, and if OZ brought another of those heavy tanks out they weren't going to gain any ground. Six Maguanacs had already pulled back due to damage and three more were reporting that they were on their way to the same.
Quatre figured he could turn the tide if he went further on the offensive yet with those relentless missiles he would need cover fire, and no one was free to provide it. He opened a comm channel to the lead Maguanac suit. "Rashid, is there any chance five of the men could target that tank in the center? Or instead the two to the side?"
The line crackled. "I don't think so, Master Quatre. Someone would have to cover them in the meantime. I don't want to say this, but for once we might have to make a strategic retreat."
"And I don't want to give them a victory right now, but I have to agree."
"I only wish we had gotten as far as the munitions stores."
"It's all right, Rashid. They know we won't give up. We'll mark their capabilities here so we'll be more prepared next time."
"I'm already planning to bring more Oliphants next time." Rashid chuckled dryly.
Abdul's voice cut in, having comm'ed both of them. "Left flank falling back! We can't handle this one! I'm sorry, Master Quatre."
"Don't worry," the gundam pilot answered. "We will win next time." Because there will always be 'next times' until the world learns what a mistake war is.
