3rd person POV:
The S.S Dawn was ready to begin her voyage to save the solar system from organization Crescent who wish to force their will onto everyone.
With the small crew consisting of Captain Trudian, First mate Foxtrot, Second mate Tango, Third mate Julia, head scientist, and Gear engineer Nexel, and Ace pilot Direx.
With the situation as it is, they couldn't get anyone useful on earth to come along.
That however did not dishearten the crew. So with the Solar gear loaded on board along with a few weapons for it, Venus was in their sights, as the first planet of their long journey.
(Opening theme)
The ship was large and empty if you didn't count the drones on the vessel. Because of this, everyone was mostly on the bridge.
Yn: So... Venus. What are we going to get up to over there?
Cynthia: We will assess the situation and go from there.
Yn: Wing it, got it.
Cynthia: No. We're going to assess the situation, then make a plan.
Yn: Sounds like winging it to me.
Cynthia:... Aibella, learn anything new about our solar gear?
Aibella: Why yes. It can obviously withstand a tremendous amount of heat, so beam-based weapons shouldn't be able to do any serious damage.
Aibella: Besides knocking it around.
Aibella: But the armor itself might have trouble with solid weapons, given enough force is put behind it.
Yn: What is enough force?
Aibella: As it is right now. A railgun could probably pierce the armor and do a large amount of damage.
Aibella: I suggest while Solas is on fire, you avoid getting hit, for that's when you're armor will be at its weakest.
Juliet: So it's power in exchange for defense.
Aibella: That's a good analogy.
Ron: How do we repair it, if it gets damaged?
Cynthia: That's probably going to happen a lot if Yn is the pilot.
Yn: Hey-...fine, you have a point.
Aibella: Juliet, can you pull up Solas's x-ray I sent you.
Juliet: Of course. Just one moment.
A holographic screen then came, showing a rough view of Solas's outer and inner design.
Aibella: Does anyone know what Solas is missing compared to other gears?
Yn: A... Gun?
Aibella: No.
Ron: Maintenance hatches?
Aibella: 2 points.
Cynthia: Wait, if it's missing maintenance hatches, then how are you supposed to fix it if it breaks?
Aibella: I'm working on that, but I don't think we have to. I believe Solas can self-repair.
Jacklin: Can you prove that?
Aibella: Well let's just think about it logically. Someone built Solas, which is an advanced piece of technology.
Aibella: So if it lacks maintenance hatches. Then it either has some kind of self-repair feature or is perfect and will never need repairs.
Jacklin: It killed three people who simply entered it. I refuse to call it perfect.
Aibella: There's a logical explanation for that.
Jacklin: How do you know?
Aibella:... I will know. The Gear is quite complex, so it will take me a while to figure out...
Yn: While you figure that out, and the rest of you navigate us to Venus, I'm going to some practicing with My gear.
Jacklin: Good idea. Ron, go help him with that.
Yn: Help? With what? And can't Cynthia do it? No offense Ron, I just don't know you.
Jacklin: Since Solas's controls are based on your physical movements, normal Gear combat training is pointless.
Jacklin: You're better off learning martial arts, which Ron is knowledgeable in.
Ron: Come on kid, I'll teach you something useful.
Yn: Flying uppercut?
Ron:...
(Timeskip)
Inside Solas, Yn unenthusiastically copied the Martin art movements of Ron who stood on a high platform in the hanger bay to do so.
Yn: Ugh...
Ron: Sudden thrust forward... Now slowly reel back.
Yn:(mind) This is so boring... I know how to punch...
Yn: We need some action, right Solas?
Juliet:(intercoms) Venus and its capital Aphrodite is insight.
(BRRRR! BRRRR! BRRRR!)
The alarms blare throughout the vessel.
Yn: Are we going to ram into, or something!?
Cynthia:(intercom) Several armed Transfer system gears approaching. They are refusing surrender.
Jacklin:(intercom) Solar Gear, arm yourself and prepare to launch. Ron, get to the bridge.
Ron: Right away Captain.
Yn: Thank stardust- I mean, Crescent is interrupting my training? Those bastards!
Ron leaves the hanger bay as Solas then grabs an Earth army service Gear beam rifle.
Yn: Alright...
The hanger bay doors open and de-pressurize the room.
Jacklin:(coms) Solar Gear, Solas...Launch!
Yn: Launching!
Leaping out of the hangar bay, with laser rifle in hand, Solas flies off to face the enemy with a trail of flames behind him.
Getting in front of the S.S Dawn, Solas then zooms in on the Crescent gears which were coming to attack.
(Crescent stolen: Venus defense gear)
The gears began shooting at him, which Yn reacted by aiming his gun and open firing on them.
With the help of Solas's aiming aid, a decent shot like Yn was able to look like an expert.
The five Crescent gears, once getting close, surrounded Yn, revealing their above-average strategy skills.
Flying up to one gear while shooting at another, Solas punched the Gear and was prepared to finish it off, until a beam attack hit him from behind, knocking him aside.
Yn: Tch!
Spinning around, Yn fired at the Gear who shot him. His beam attacks weren't doing much, which quickly irritated the young ace pilot.
Compared to the beam attacks from the enemy, which was at least knocking down Solas around a bit, like a constant slap to the head every time he turned around, Yn's attacks were just annoying to both parties.
Yn: This gun is useless!
Aibella:(coms) Well it was designed to use against violent lawbreakers, not military-grade armor.
Aibella:(coms) You're going to have to shove it against their Gears and constantly fire to do any damage to them with that.
Yn:(mumbles) Should have taken something bigger.
Flames surrounded Solas, before he once again around, this time a full 360°, sending an expanding ring of fire which messed with the Crescent gears sensors.
Properly distracted, Yn took this chance to fly up to one of the Gears.
Solas grabs its head and shoves his rifle into the Gears face, opening fire until the heat of the constant beam shots melted a hole through the gears head, disabling it.
Too late to stop Solas, the gears who flew up close to stop him, instead attacked.
But with superior mobility, Solas flew under and around those Gears, clenching its fist around the neck area of one of those gears, Yn shoves his rifle into the Crescent gear.
Breaking through the armor while also the rifle. Pulling the trigger, the rifle exploded within the Gear, destroying it.
Yn: Oops...
Jacklin:(coms) We don't have the resources for you to just waste rifles like that.
Yn: My bad...
Yn:(mind) Thank stardust it's gone, it was useless...
Going back to his original tactic, Solas was set ablaze.
With burning fists, he was able to land several punches which immensely weakened their armor.
Yn:(broadcasting) My flames are burning red! Your time in the limelight is over!
Punching through one of the gears, Yn was able to rip it apart creating an explosion which Yn immediately jumped out of to kick in the head of another gear.
With his spirits high, a holographic screen popped up for Yn showing "Overdrive Activated".
Yn:(broadcasting) My soul burns with an awesome power!!!
Yn:(broadcasting) Its loud raging flames roar out for me to defeat you!!
Yn:(broadcasting) Take this!
Yn:(broadcasting) SUNRISE OVERDRIVE!
(Finishing move: Sunrise Overdrive)
With a blazing fist, Solas uppercutted through the remaining gears in one attack, skewering them onto his arm, before they exploded.
(KABOOOOOOM)
Yn: Now that's more like it!
Aibella:(coms) A little extreme for footsoldiers, don't you think?
Yn: Not at all. They pissed me off by breaking my gun and trying to ruin the paint job of Solas.
Yn: If you ask me, they got what was coming to them!
Cynthia:(coms) They didn't break anything. You broke the gun when you punched it through that Gears-
Yn:(yawn)
Yn: Finishing moves are exhausting. If there aren't anyone gears to fight... I'll be taking a nap.
Jacklin:(coms) Stay outside. More can still come.
Yn: Aye-aye Captain.
(Meanwhile)
Neptune has been captured and now Crescent is in the works of "fixing" it.
Luna, returning to her stolen fortress called the Pluto, began watching more footage of Solas which she gained.
Intensely studying the battle from the perspectives of her soldiers at Venus, Luna searched for any hints to help her unleash the power of her Lunas.
One moment, in particular, stood out to her.
Yn:(recording) My soul burns with an awesome power!!!
Yn:(recording) Its loud raging flames roar out for me to defeat you!!
Yn:(recording) Take this!
Yn:(recording) SUNRISE OVERDRIVE!
Pausing the footage, Luna was deep in thought.
Luna:(mind) Sunrise overdrive...? Is that some kind of ability his gear has...
Luna: Hmm...
Making her way to her gear, Lunas, she entered it to test out her theory.
Luna:... Moonrise Overdrive...?
Nothing happened.
Luna: Maybe I have to shout it...?
Luna:(clears throat)
Luna: MOONRISE OVERDRIVE!
Again, nothing happens.
Luna:(mind) I don't understand... What is this Overdrive?
Luna: Lunas! Activate Overdrive!
A holographic red screen then popped up in front of Luna. The screen had "Overdrive requirements not met".
Luna: Requirements not met? What am I missing...?
Luna: Is it not enough that I fight for a just cause?
Luna: Perhaps I must be in a battle to activate it?
Luna: Whatever the reason may be, I swear to you Lunas, I will bring out your true potential!
While walking to the exit, Luna failed to see the holographic screen turn yellow for a moment.
