Gundam Seed: The Bright light.
With tensions between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance becoming closer and closer to all out war. Both PLANT and the OMNI forces watch as their forces fight with everything.
The Year is Cosmic Era 70. ZAFT's mobile suit forces have devastate the Earth Alliance Mobile armor forces. Located within Janis 7 the highly decorated and Elite Red uniform team. The first class to graduate from the ZAFT war college. These young MS aces return from the battle field. Waiting inside the colony a parade for the young solders.
Nazca Class Destroyer Defiant, you are docked Welcome home Harvest team.
The crew rushes off their battle damaged warship into the population of Janis 7. Teenager crew as young as 15 meet their families and the lush country interior of the converted colony. But two mothers cant find their sons. They walk over to a ZAFT officer working in the dry dock area.
Excuse me sir. We are looking for two pilots. Have you seen Ens. Bride and Ens. Roberts?
Two pilots in red uniforms jump off on of the many supply tucks rushing off the ship. On the flat bed a Red Ginn is transported off. Covered in black soot the two pilots walk over to the officer.
O you mean Lt. Bride and Lt. Roberts? Well that is them coming this way now.
The two mothers rush over to their sons and hug them with black oil all over them.
We where so worried about you two. When we heard the Defiant was ambushed on the way back to port we thought you two.
The ship pulls into the dock for repairs. They see the otter damage of the Defiant. They see the outer hull damaged to the point where the interior of the ship is showing. But Jason's mother looks at his face. A huge healing gash from his neck is visible.
What happened to you?
Don't worried about that mom. Its just a little battle scare. Its going to be fully healed in about a week.
They start walking and the two mothers walk behind their sons. Beaming with pride with their Red uniforms. They stand out from the crowd of Green uniforms in the area. A small group of crew members crowd around them as they make their way into the interior of the colony. The two mothers watch as they talk with their fellow teenage soldiers.
Got it was hard knowing they where going to war and being trained to kill. But I just want them to stay here with us. They are still kids.
While living within the converted Junius Seven agricultural production the farm land hills seem to go on forever. A warm breeze flows through the colony and the smell of fresh cut grass and vegetables. But within the political world horrible events place PLANT in more danger. Sitting with his family Jason watches as events unfold.
Today has been a tragedy on the Lunar City of Copernicus. A terrorist bombing has claimed the lives of the sponsor nations of PLANT. Including the Secretary-General of the United Nations. But according to our sources Chairman Clyne, Representative of PLANT was not present during the bombing. We will keep you updated as events unfold.
Standing with anger Jason turns off the TV. His red eyes fix on his two brothers who watch him storm off into the kitchen. Soon the phone rings and his mother picks up.
I am sorry sir, but who are you asking for? Captain bride? Yes he is here hold on.
His mother hands him the phone but looks at him strangely.
Since when did you become a Captain?
I guess I got a promotion from the last battle. It's my commander on the phone isn't it?
He takes the phone while sipping on his juice. He chokes when he hears his orders.
We are being activated sir? I am on my way.
Thousands of ZAFT soldiers within PLANT rush to their post inside of their colonies. Warships and mobile suits rush out of dry dock. The Defiant fully repaired launches into Space. Its Mobile suit force of 18 GINN's rush behind it. Earth Alliance scout ships are in the area watching them mobilize.
Hey Captain Bride. You don't think the EA is stupid enough to attack us with those Moebius armors do you? I mean I heard that they moved a lot of their forces onto the moon.
Listen Rice, all you have to worry about is when your warning lights go off and the CIC goes crazy. Other than that we are ok. You act like you never been in a combat situation before.
Listen Captain Roberts. Just because you are my superior doesn't mean you can talk to me that way. But what bout that bombing? I guess we are going to be on edge for the next few days.
Leading formation Jason looks around at the Drake class warships equipped with advanced radar equipment. He pays the ships no mind but responds to his team.
For once I agree with you Rice. Clyne wasn't there. We are now under suspicion of the attack. We are going to be seeing a lot more red alerts these next few days.
Inside the colony, information is being passed around at the Zala residence. Council Member Ali Kasim is present and helps to calm down Chairman Zala's wife. Lenore . Her husband was reported to tagged along with the Clyne.
Don't be afraid, Siegel Clyne and Patrick Zala where not present. The Shuttle was delayed. But we must remain clam. They are going to jump to conclusion and point the finger at us. Lenore , I am going to Aprilius to find out what is going on. I will inform you on the situation.
The small crowd disperses and Council Member Kasim makes his way to his body guards and leaves for Aprilius. As the Red Alert is lowered the ZAFT forces return the reserved forces back into the docking area and the MS land within their warships. Captain. Maurice Roberts sits inside the ready room with the rest of the teenage pilots. The younger pilots still shaking from the rush of finally using their suits.
You know one day we are going to all be in actual combat. What happened today will happen a million times faster and with a lot more cross fire.
Captain. Roberts, you have seen combat. But do you think we will be able to make it back from actual combat? I mean the Earth Alliance has massive numbers.
Standing at the door Captain. Bride walks in and the lower ranks salute and sit back down. He grabs a ration and sits down.
Norman, have faith in yourself and our Mobile suits. They don't stand a chance when fighting Mobile Suits. Training and the perks of being a coordinator will help you get over the vast numbers. But then again you don't have six years of experience like we do. But everything will be fine once you get over your fears and don't get impatient. That is how you get killed.
The Captain of the Nazca class warship Defiant enters into the room. Her Aids walk behind her. The young battle harden young woman stands near the main viewing screen. With a Serious look on her face all the MS pilots pay attention to her. Captain. Reese Archer, Ex Earth Alliance Space Special Forces.
There has been a warning from Aprilius. All residents of Junius 7 are to be on combat status until otherwise. I have bad news, the Earth Alliance has set their sights on our PLANT and have been snooping around lately. Combat status is to be cleared by February 14th if things go well. The Earth Alliance has aimed its lunar forces at us. So expect a large fleet at your door step. So we are going to be active for a while. It looks like we are going to war children.
With the days unfolding closer and closer to the day ZAFT feared. February 11 CE70
The Earth Alliance declared war on PLANT. Their Space assault fleet makes its way to PLANT space lead by the Newest Mobile Armor carrier Roosevelt. All ZAFT warships and MS launch into space. With Junius 7 their objective the colony is directly in their sights. But ahead of the ZAFT defense fleet, the Defiant and the new commander class MS CGUE leading the MS teams.
The Defiant's captain in charge of the defense fleet calls in orders.
CIC can we get a head count of the enemy fleet?
Yes sir. Total of 30 Drake class warships, 22 Nelson Class battleships. And three mobile Armor Carriers. The Roosevelt, Raven, Hoover. The Roosevelt is in the lead sir.
Understood. All suits with Canus heavy missiles get into the lead. Unleash your missiles and then fall behind us for support. Take out those battle ships first. Interception teams don't let any landing craft or Mobile Armors push past the second defense line. All units I want those carriers destroyed understood!
All the EA Mobile armors and scout ships rush into the ZAFT artillery fire. Whole wings are whipped out but the EA responds with its own missile barrage. Both sides clash and from Mobile Suit to Mobile armor battles to battleship to battle ship combat. The Defiant in the lead breaks through the enemy lines with its own small attack force of warships. The Defiant's CIC gives out fire solutions for a missile barrage.
All Mobile suits in the area scatter! Hornets away repeat Hornets Away!
The Nazca Class Destroyers unleash a spray of micro missiles and the Laurasia class provide cover fire with their beam cannons and own missiles. Earth Alliance formations try to defend themselfs with their CWIS weapons but to no help they are demolished. The Moebius armors try and take out the Laurasia warships in the rear but the two GINN mobile suits of the Defiant rush past and clear out more armors.
This is Captain. Bride to Defiant CIC. Permission to land and rearm. Our MS teams are low on fuel and rounds.
Understood Captain. Don't even leave your MS just sit tight. Once you rearm we will give you space for Delta formation targets are the EA Carriers.
The two GINN's land and the spare GINN units inside are being reequipped with heavy weapons and are being maintained. As fast as they landed the entire Delta formation squadron is ready to launch. The Mobile suits launch and enter into formation. With missile volleys and cannon fire the EA carriers defenders are caught in the confusion.
Jason get the Raven! Its going to try and turn into the formation. Don't let them get a clear shot at the break though our forces!
Roger. All units break and scatter! If a single missile gets near the Roosevelt we are not going to have no chance for the politician to do their job. Lets make them earn their pay check.
With a 500mm bazooka in hand Jason starts to pick off large chunks of the ship. With the AA weapons firing they don't help. The GINN's to nimble to be hit pulls its sword and cuts a large gash into the hulls armor. With three rounds to the un protected insides the ship explodes.
This is Captain. Bride to Defiant. Raven is down for the count. What about the other two carriers?
A large energy blast cuts the Hoover in half. A single GINN pushes through the charred hull to take out escaping mobile armors. The Earth Alliance manages to get into a formation and push through the ZAFT defense lines. The Defiant calls her MS back as the situation is two much for 18 mobile suits. With the EA forces facing their backs to the Defiant and her escort warships the ZAFT forces start to take out more and more EA warships. Jason and Maurice make it back and are getting rearmed.
Bridge, what is the situation out there? CIC do you read me over?
This is CIC, Sorry Captain. Things are just really ugly out there. They are not letting anything get near the Roosevelt. The AA is to dense but we are going to launch you. Please take out those Drake Class warships and the Nelson class. They are doing damage to our second defense line. You need to get past that AA and get a hole in their defenses understood?
Roger.
The GINN's are loaded up but they notice they have extra 76mm rounds and no heavy weapons this time out. Maurice opens the cockpit and starts to yell at the nearest green shirt.
What the hell is this? Where is all the heavy weapons? Can I at least get a Ion cannon or something?
Two missile pods and locked onto the Ginn's legs and Maurice almost falls out his MS from the Shock. The Ion cannon is equipped and he is ready to launch. Onboard the Roosevelt the EA forces get scared and know its only a matter of time before their Mobile Armor forces are depleted.
Sir battle strength is at 48 and falling. Even if Reenforcement are coming there will be nothing left at this rate.
Enemy suits have broken through our AA fire! Number is over 25 suits sir!
Commandant, we are not going to make it. Munition reserves are running low on the Drake Class warships and our own Mobile Armor forces are down to 14 strong. We are not going to make it.
The commandant sits in his chair and starts rubbing his eyes. He snaps back in a rage.
I understand that Ensign. Get the Peace Makers equipped. If we don't make it back home neither will these Damn Coordinators. Launch the damn missiles. And take out those one eye bastards!
We need to get as closer to Junius 7.
The bridge crew gets scared and stop to look at their commander. The silence is broken by a GINN exploding. The bridge crew jumps to life and the EA makes another attempt at a formation. Maurice and his team gets close and start taking pop shots at the battleships.
Jason where the hell are you? They are really putting up a fight! We cant hold them for much longer! They might try and colloid with the colony!
The Roosevelt opens it MS hangers one last time and three Mobile Armors equipped with nuclear missiles launch. Not seeing the Mobile Armors Maurice takes out the warships around the carrier. Jason's red GINN launches and he sees the three armors. With all thrusters at full he takes out his sword and cuts the Roosevelt from stern to bow and the ship explodes. Using the inertia from the blast he manages to catch up to the nuclear carrying Mobile Armors.
Defiant, do you read me over? The Ea forces have launched nuclear missiles! Defiant do you read me?
The radio just crackles and cuts. The jamming from the EA fleet is to dense. Keeping up with the Armors he draws his machine gun and opens fire.
Don't you even think I am letting you hit my Home!
To hell with you Coordinator! I have been waiting to do this for years! For a Pure Blue World!
Jason takes out two mobile armors but they still launch their nuclear missiles. The center launches his own missile but pulls back hard and slams into Jason and his GINN. With his main camera disabled he fires and takes out two nuclear missiles. One gets away.
NOOOO!
