Mike spent the next few days with business meetings and working on the Gundam. Bruce Wayne wanted to collaborate with Morganrote on green energy and search and rescue initiatives. Mike agreed but only after the current issues resolved.
One fateful morning as Mike was getting coffee and breakfast with Raven. Zechs approached a frown on his face. "When your done get to your gundams"
Mike looked up "it's time?"
A mission notification appeared to Mike
DEFEND YOUR BASE
Objective Hold the line till ready for retreat
Reward: 2 Random Gundams and 2 Premium Summons Random
Zechs nodded. "An entire division of tanks, aircraft, and infantry are moving on us. Along with 10 of those giant robots"
Mileina added "three hours till all personnel and vital tech are loaded."
Talia nodded "Archangel is ready for deployment soon as we are all on board"
Mike nodded then looked at Shuuji. "Take a squad and maintain security till time. I put automated defenses up so that should slow them down"
Yesterday Mike had added a series of defenses to the base.
X8 Pillbox anti Air turrets
X8 Surface to Air Missle Launcher emplacements
X 2 Railgun Turrets
X16 Gatling turrets modified to be automated
X 100 anti personel automotons
He hurried through breakfast and got into his pilot suit and gundam as he powered it on. Mike ran through the pre trip and double checked the modifications he made to the suit.
The hangar bay opened and he strode out standing guard over the compound. He was joined by Raven and Zechs. "Poor cover, we have the automated defenses helping but we shouldn't underestimate them" Mike said.
Zechs nodded. "True but they are far more likely to underestimate us"
Raven shook her head. "Why are you two so calm?"
Before they could answer they saw 10 Sentinals flying in escorted by a fighter wing and Mike noticed several ships in the water.
"We didn't count on the ships. Can you two hold them off till I deal with that threat?"
Zechs frowned. "Yeah but you better make it quick. We haven't seen the infantry or tanks yet"
Mike turned then dived off the cliffs into the water approaching the ships from below. "Targeting ships engines" drawing the armor Schneiders Mike began to attack the ships when he was sent spiraling. As he slammed into the ocean floor he saw 3 more sentinels in underwater targeting him. "More forces in the water I repeat more forces in the water. Currently engaging" Mike called over the communicators before engaging in a desperate underwater fight.
Firing a explosive harpoon at one he destroyed it and struck the second with the armor Schneider. As he damaged the second one the third got a lucky shot off damaging the backpack. The torpedoes blew up as a result heavily damaging the marine type.
The second Sentinal then knocked away the armor Schneider. Mike fired point blank damaging the second one further with the underwater beam rifle. As the third attacked Mike activated his secret weapon. The suit began to glow red and gold and the cockpit opened up allowing Mike to stand as a circle defended the suit matching Mike's movements.
Mike moved with a speed unseen ripping the head off of the sentinal then destroyed the engines on the ships he was targeting. Disabling them. Mike reported that he was making for the hangar. "Suit is too damaged RTB."
He limped the gundam to the underwater hangar and barely managed to get it onto the archangel and make it to the command bridge.
"How is the battle going?" Mike asked seriously.
"Badly, the automated defenses are holding back the conventional attackers but Knight gundam is damaged and Strike is struggling." Talia explained.
Mike saw 4 downed sentinals, and the knight gundam laying on the ground as Zechs engaged the other six in a desperate melee. Mike frowned thinking hard then paused. Remembering the reward from the x men fight. He didn't want to expose it this soon but the dates of his friends comes first.
Mike ran to Archangel's hangar calling on the reward. As he rounded the corner the Exia came into view. Climbing in he launched.
POV Raven
Raven watched as Zechs fought against the other six Sentinels. Gritting her teeth she wished desperately to help unknown to her on the back of her right hand a symbols appeared of the black joker.
Her gundam began to transform in a shining light responding to her will.
POV Mike
As Mike landed severing the head of one of the remaining Sentinels he looked in disbelief as ravens gundam shone with a bright light changing. When it stoped the colors had changed to primarily navy blue with dark purple and red. Raven stood tall her sword and shield replaced with a staff.

Hey guys sorry the chapter is so late but I think it turned out pretty good. Hope you enjoy and I'll try to have this weeks out faster
Also forgot to mention Raven's gundam evolving is a one person thing due to the nature of her gundam. It is one of very few magic type gundams
