When those gentle fingers touch the end,
Would it be alright to believe in you then?
Everyone will fall to the ground in pieces
From seeking to much of there dreams.
They are looking for a place to fall down.
All I can do is wound others and tremble If these stirring emotions are the truth to what we really are.
Both are trembling and therefore cannot move…
Piling up the lonely tears…
There is only the radiance of an age with no hope.
Unafraid of the power to change…
The flames that we exchange…
Beyond the heart beats, reach out to that planned destiny.
Ignite -By T.M. Revolution
CE 70, a war between the Earth Alliance and the PLANT organization ZAFT erupted out of hate and prejudice between the naturals and the genetically enhanced Coordinators. It was a long and bloody conflict with both sides taking heavy losses and with one trying to annihilate the other with weapons of mass destruction. Kira Yamato and his friends were caught in the middle of the war. His childhood friend Athrun Zala were on opposite sides and nearly killed each other. Soon after they joined forces with Lacus Klyne and helped to destroy the super weapon Genesis and the Earth Alliance's nuclear bombs heading for PLANT. Lacus Klyne was elected the new chief representative of PLANT and Cagalli is the now the ruler of Orb. It is now CE 73 and the Earth Alliance has rebuilt it's military and created a few new prototype mobile suits. For now there is peace in the universe.
(In the Kingdom of Orb, people were still trying to rebuild there fallen city and now Cagalli is the sole ruler of the country, she lays her head on the desk as she thinks about all her frustrations as Orb's ruler)
Cagalli: Construction reports, wanting increased wages, national debt, Ugh! I can't take all this.
(Her monitor flashes up an image of a man with neck length dark blue hair)
Athrun: Hey Cagalli, how have you been.
(Cagalli's head pops right up and instantly she cheers up)
Cagalli: Athrun! I haven't seen you in a long time.
Athrun: Well then I have some good news. Remember when you asked Lacus for some aid from PLANT. Well the delegation decided to give you that aid.
Cagalli: That's great! Thanks Athrun, this will really help our people.
Athrun: The other good news is that I will be delivering it to you.
Cagalli: I can't wait! I haven't really seen you since you became one of Lacus's royal guards.
Athrun: I can't wait either. Is Kira still there?
Cagalli: No he isn't. He's on the Archangel and they left for space yesterday.
Athrun: Alright I'll see you tomorrow.
(The image disappears)
(Up in space the Archangel is heading towards the new Morganraete factory on the moon)
Kira: So Captain, that's why you brought me, you wanted me to test pilot the new Astreys.
Ramius: Who better than you Kira?
Kira: Well, it's just I don't really like mobile suits.
Ramius: Well Kira we need some good test data for the new suits incase we have to use them.
Kira: We're at peace. We shouldn't need them.
Ramius: I know, but with all these terrorists around causing trouble we need to be ready.
Milli: Kira what's wrong?
(Kira floats over to the door and exit's the bridge)
(Back in Orb, Athrun's shuttle lands and as he climbs down the steps off the shuttle, Cagalli comes running up and gives him a big hug)
Cagalli: Athrun, I've missed you so much. Why did you have to go run off and be a royal guard.
Athrun: There have been many attempts on Lacus's life, and she is needed for PLANT to be at peace.
Cagalli: Who's with her now?
Athrun: Yzak and Dearka are watching her right now, but enough about all that stuff.
(Athrun pulls Cagalli close and kisses her)
(Back in space the Archangel pulls in port at the Morganraete factory)
Ramius: Captain Murue Ramius of the Orb space forces vessel Archangel.
Morgan: I'm Vince Morgan, the owner of Morganraete. Welcome to our new lunar facility.
Ramius: It's an honor to meet you Mr. Morgan.
Morgan: I thought it would be appropriate for me to show the famous crew of the Archangel around this factory. He must be the test pilot.
Ramius: Yes sir, this is Lt. Kira Yamato he will test pilot the new Astrey model.
Morgan: Hmm Yamato, wasn't he the pilot of the Strike?
Ramius: Yes sir.
Morgan: I have something to show you come with me.
(Kira and Morgan walk to another part of the factory until they come to a huge hangar with two new gundam mobile suits)
Kira: Gundam?
Morgan: These are two new prototype Strike models. The first one here is the Double Strike, equipped with a sword pack on one side and the launcher pack on the other. We also equipped more boosters to increase it mobility with the new packs. The other one is the Heavy Strike. It is equipped with a heavier Aile pack, more armor, missile pods, beam cannons on it's shoulders and a shield with a couple of beam cannons. So, want to pilot them?
Kira: So what, these things are unnecessary.
(Kira runs off into another hangar on the other side of the factory)
Kira: Whoa another Archangel class ship.
(The new one was exactly like the Archangel and Dominion with just a few engine upgrades and a blue color scheme)
Morgan: This is the new Earth Alliance ship, the Peace Maker.
Kira: Peace Maker?
Morgan: Yes, I don't know why they would name it after there nuclear attack squadron.
Standon: Mr. Morgan sir.
Morgan: Standon. Lt. Yamato of Orb this is Standon, he is the chief engineer and also captain of the new vessel.
Standon: Mr. Morgan I would request that you and Yamato was it, that you both leave now. We are currently putting in the final preparations and it is for security reasons.
(Kira looks at Standon with suspicion)
Morgan: I see, I can't interfere with Alliance business. Come on Lt. We have mobile suits to test.
(As they are leaving out of the corner of Kira's eye he's sees what appears to be some kind of bomb)
(Back in Orb Athrunbrings a suitcase into Cagalli's office and lays it on her desk)
Athrun: Here this will aid will help your people but,
Cagalli: But?
Athrun: The delegation is willing to give this aid and more in exchange for some help with our terrorists problems.
Cagalli: Dammit Athrun!
Athrun: This isn't my fault this was the delegation's work not mine or Lacus's.
Cagalli: Fine, just give us all your intelligence and I will send Archangel and Kusanagi to help.
Athrun: All data you need is on this disk. About a month ago our new Nazca kai class battleship was stolen by a terrorist group bent on "keeping the peace". They have attacked a few ZAFT outposts to steal mobile suits and have now proceeded to attack Alliance bases. They need to be stopped before they start another war. We think it may be Blue Cosmos.
Cagalli: A new Nazca class ship? We're going to need some help.
Asuran: Captain Waltfeld has offered his help with the Eternal as well.
Cagalli: Alright I'll dispatch the Archangel immediately.
(On the moon, Standon walks into a big lab with many computers and four human size pods with human clones growing in them)
Standon: Soon my perfect soldiers will awaken thanks to Professor Hibiki's work.
