The Knightwing barely suspended itself over the ocean waters as it
traveled to site of the Knight Sabers' current mission. From the way that
the Captain explained it to them, the island needed all the help it could
get. And they were willing to pay $BIG BUCKS$...er, Y BIG YEN Y for the
help.

        "Yo, Syl!" Priss called to their ice-queen leader. "What the heck
do these military jokers want anyway?"

        Sylia Stingray did not bother to lift her head from the nav-screen.
When she answered Priss, her calm tone was accented by a slight tremor.
"Just support, Priss...and the way they're besieged, they despirately need
it."

        "I hope the fight's gonna be marginally interesting," Priss yawned.
"The recent upgrades to our equipment have made waxing boomers a piece of
cake. We wiped the floor with Miram's 'ultimate boomer'! Even Nene's
showing a decent kill ratio!"

        "Hey!" shouted the suddenly irritated redhead.

        "You need not worry about not having a challenge. The UN has been
working with this new technology for decades and they're barely holding
their own."

        Priss started feeling less at ease from Sylia's news. "Well, at
least we're getting paid handsomely for it. I mean, they must have shelled
out a pretty yen to get you to agree so quickly."

        "No. This is a freebie."

        "WHAT?!" Nene, Priss, and Linna shouted in unison.

        "If we don't succeed, we won't be alive to enjoy any further
payments." Sylia triggered the radio on and spoke into it. "Captain Hayes,
this is the Knightwing. Permission to engage."

        "*Thank god. Hello, Knightwing! This is Captain Hayes, Macross
Command! Permission is definitely given!*"

        Sylia suddenly juked the 'wing, dodging a bolt from above. Priss
looked to its source, and let her jaw drop when she saw it. "F*** me! This
ain't no C-class boomer!" she shouted as the Zentraedi battlepod decended
on them.

        "Get to the Aeroslaves and prepare for launch!" Sylia ordered, her
face set. "And no unneccessary risks, Priss. I mean it."

        Priss cast a last glance at the battlepod as Sylia maneuvered
around it. Sweat was visible on her brow, and she assured most
wholeheartedly, "Don't worry! Even _I_ know better to f*** around with a
giant ostrich-egg on legs!" With no further preamble, she ducked into what
looked like a minature F-14.

        Sylia triggered the feature that she had almost totally
re-engineered the Knightwing for. The entire structure of the Knightwing
unlocked and began reconfiguring itself for it's version of the Gerwalk
mode. Sylia took a moment to shout the obligatory battlecry:

        "KNIGHT SABERS, SANJO!!"
