Year 70 of the Cosmic Era. Tensions were mounting between Earth and the ZAFT Organization. Due to the Bloody Valentine Tragedy and the April Fools Crisis, these tensions suddenly escalated into a full scale war. It seemed a foregone conclusion that the nations of Earth, with its superior numbers, would be victorious. But these initial assessments proved to be false. Almost 11 months have passed since the conflict began with no end in sight.

Phase 1: False Peace

Heliopolis...

All was calm in the Orb colony. People were going about their day. In the air, a mechanical bird was flying through the artificial wind. It passed over several buildings and factories, one of which was in the process of handling precious cargo.

Several workers were loading a large cloaked object onto a flatbed truck. Two people were talking. One was an adult engineer. The other was a young man with fair skin, brown scruffy hair and green eyes. He wore goggles on his forehead, a black t-shirt, a pair of dog tags around his neck, jeans shorts, black & white sneakers and black fingerless gloves. (Voice: Johnny Yong Bosch) On the ground was a small green ball with a curved mouth, red eyes and ear flaps. (Voice: Niki Yang)

"Are you sure about this?" One of the workers asked.

"Of course." The young man said. "With the ZAFT fleet nearby, I'd feel safer if I oversaw the transfer myself."

"Why not just keep it with the other prototypes?"

"And risk losing my pride and joy? No way."

"Not gonna happen." The green ball said.

"Thank you Haro."

The staff member sighed. "If that's you want Mr. Hudson."

"Just call me Zeke." The young man said as Haro followed him (by rolling) to the truck.

The robot bird flew toward a pavilion where a young man known as Kira Yamato was working on his laptop. He had brown hair, purple eyes and wore a dark-blue dress shirt with a collar with beige pants and black shoes. On his laptop was schematics for a machine while the TV in the quad played a report on a ZAFT invasion.

"The refugee camp in South Africa has been suffering from a chronic storage of food and relief supplies, endangering the life of 1.2 million people."

The bird landed on top of the laptop. "Birdy." The young man smiled from seeing his robotic companion.

"These images from the Kaohsiung spaceport show that heavy fighting is in progress. Now according to information just received, ZAFT has advanced to areas within six kilometers of Kaohsiung."

"Kira!" A voice called out. Two teens walked toward Kira. They were Tolle Koenig and his girlfriend Miriallia Haw. "So this is where you're hanging out." Tolle said. "Professor Kato's been trying to get a hold of you."

"What? Again?"

"He asked us to bring you to him right away." Miriallia said. "Well? Are you assisting him on something else?"

"Too much." The young man replied. "I still haven't even finished going through the stuff I he dumped on me yesterday."

Tolle walked toward Kira and looked at the laptop. "Some development in the news?"

"Yeah. Taiwan apparently."

"I'm within seven kilometers of Kaohsiung, where the sounds of fierce combat continue to echo." In the background were the screams of people and bullets flying.

"If this is footage from last week, they must have already taken over Kaohsiung." Tolle said.

"Yeah." Kira said grimly as he turned off his laptop.

"Kaohsiung isn't very far from us, is it?" Mir asked. "Will the homeland be alright?"

"Birdy!" The robot bird flew away.

"Sure. There's nothing to worry about." Tolle responded. "Oh they're close by, but our nation's neutral. Can't see Orb turning into a war zone."

"Really? Then I guess we're okay."

As Birdy flew through the air, Kira eyes became distant as he remembered the friend who gave him the mechanical bird.

"Kira?" Tolle said. The young techie snapped out of his trance and backed up in surprise. "What's up with you anyway? Let's go."

The young couple walked away as Kira got back up and gathered his things. "Um, yeah sure."

Colony Hangar...

"Axis adjusted right. 6.51. Entry vectries good. Breaking Jets disengaged. Transferring control to Electromagnetic bucket. Deceleration at 2.56. Commence Dock. Standby."

A Marseille III class-ship and two Drake-class ships docked into the hangar.

"There you have it." The middle-aged captain said as he let his hat drift in zero gravity. "This old ship has just completed her final mission. You served admirably as escorts, Lieutenant La Flaga and Chief Warrant Officer Slade. I am in your debt."

In front of the captain was the Hawk of Endymion himself, Mu La Flaga. Floating next to him was a young woman with black curly hair, purple eyes and fair skin. She wore the same uniform as La Flaga, but in a darker color. (Voice: Michelle Ruff) Their uniforms bore a blue symbol with a white star.

"Sir, I'm just glad we arrived without an incident." Mu said.

"Although maybe running into ZAFT would have made things more interesting." Warrant Officer Slade said with a childlike smile.

"Speaking of which, any ZAFT vessels in the vicinity?" Mu asked.

"We've spotted four, but its no cause for alarm." The captain said. "They know they can't engage in any hostile action once we've docked."

"Hm. Because its neutral territory? What a joke." La Flaga said.

Slade's smile disappeared. "We're putting a lot of innocent civilians at risk just by showing up."

"Look its because of Orb that our plans have progressed this far. We're fortunate that NATO has recognized Orb as a nation."

"Excuse us Captain." One of the five men on the bridged said. They saluted and the Captain saluted back. The five men floated out of the bridge.

"Think they can handle themselves alone on the ground?" Mu asked.

"I know they're all young. But they're all top guns selected to be G-Pilots. They'll be just fine. However, someone like you would stick out like a sore thumb."

Mu chuckled a little and Slade giggled. "Don't worry Lieutenant, you've already made your mark."

"However, I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen."

A few kilometer away, three Laurasia-class ships and Nazca-class were hiding behind a meteor. Two smaller ships were launched. On the deck of the Nazca class was a man known as the infamous white coat Rau Le Creuset.

"Try not to look so frustrated Adas." The masked man said.

"Well I don't imagine it'll be too late if we hear back from the council at least." Adas said.

"It will be too late." Rau said as he grabbed a picture and pushed it toward Adas. "I have a sixth sense about these things. If we don't seize the moment now, later we'll pay with our lives for our reluctance to take action. NATO's new mobile weapons. We must secure them before they attempt to move them."

Outside, the transport ships landed on the rock end of Heliopolis, deploying airbags for a safe landing.

Inside, several people were waiting at the auto-valet for their cars. Three girls were having a conversation.

"I'm totally serious. Its nothing like that." The girl in all pink known as Flay Allster said.

"Yeah?"

"You're lying. You should just come out and admit it." The two girls giggled. Kira, Mir and Tolle walked to the auto-valet and saw the red-haired girl.

"I told you." The red-haired girl giggled. She turned with a smile. "Miriallia."

"Hi." Mir said with a friendly smile with Kira and Tolle behind her.

"I bet ya you know Miriallia." One of the girls said.

"Know what?"

"Come on. Stop it." Flay asked.

"She got a letter from Sai Argyle, but she claims nothings going on. And she refuses to dish out anything at all, right?"

Kira was shocked by this due to the crush he had on the girl in question. The girls started laughing as the red-haired girl started to get ticked. Behind them, a woman with short black hair and sunglasses was walking with two men behind her. She cleared her throat and got the teen's attention.

"If you're not getting in, you mind if I do?" She asked.

"Oh we're sorry." Tolle said. "Please." He and Kira moved out of the way as the woman and the two men walked toward the cars. When she passed, Flay turned toward her friends with a mad expression.

"What's the big deal anyway?" She turned around in a huff. "Let's go."

"Wait up."

The three girls got into a car and drove off, leaving Kira, Tolle and Mir by themselves.

"Well how about that Sai?" Tolle said with a smirk. "He wrote to her."

"Huh?" Kira said confused.

"To Flay Allster no less. What a total shock and surprise." He put his hands on Kira's shoulders. "Look's like you have some competition Kira Yamato. Good luck." He walked away as Mir followed him while giggling.

"But.. really... I'm not..."

As cars speed through the colony highway, the woman from before looked around as one of the men drove. "Just look around this place. Its so peaceful." She took off her glasses and revealed her grey eyes. "To think that there are all already people as young as them fighting on the front line."

The car passed the mall in the distance. In the mall, a crowd was gathered at the arcade. Two young adults were facing other as they moved their controllers. The man of Japanese descent had brown hair with bangs and brown eyes. He wore a blue hoodie and jeans. (Voice: Jason Marsden) His opponent was a short woman. She had black hair in a braid on her right side and orange eyes. She wore a gray t-shirt and jeans. (Voice: Wendee Lee) On the screen in front of them, a samurai swung his katana at a ninja only for the ninja to jump and land on the blade. The ninja tried to kick the samurai but the armored warrior raised a fist and punched the ninja back. The ninja got back up and pulled three kunais in each hand. The two virtual warriors stared down each other just like their real-world controllers were doing.

"You're pretty good, little lady." The man said.

"Flattery will get you nowhere." The woman said.

"Wasn't planning on it." And with that, the fight began anew.

Outside, several ZAFT troops in spacesuits were descending onto the meteor end of the colony. The shaft opened and revealed a series of infrared lights. A red coat looked at his wristwatch. It beeped and the lasers turned off. The soldiers traveled down into the shaft.

Meanwhile, Kira and his friends arrived at Professor Kato's lab.

"Kira. You finally made it." Sai said. Kira turned toward his right and saw a blond girl with a tomboy look to her. She wore a brown trench coat and a hat. She had a stern expression.

The ZAFT soldiers arrived at a secret hangar and saw a white ship with red outlines. One of the red coats gave some hand signals and the soldiers floated in different directions. They set explosives all around the hangar in places where workers would never find them. The bombs were set to go off in ten minutes.

"Did you finish the program?" Sai asked.

"You know it." Kira said with a smirk as he pulled out a flash-drive. "This the movement problem we've been having with the frame."

"That's awesome!" Tolle said. "You know Kira, sometimes I think we'd be completely lost without you."

"They don't call him the best programmer in Heliopolis for nothing." Mir commented as Kira blushed from the praise.

As Kira and his friends were talking, the blond girl walked toward Professor Kato's office. She tried to open the door but it was locked.

"Its time." Rau said.

"Weigh anchor. Vesalius launch!" Adas ordered. The ship ignited it engines.

Alarms went off all over the colony hangar.

"Heliopolis here. Approaching ZAFT vessels, please respond. ZAFT vessels, please respond!" A hangar worker in the traffic control room said as the Chief controller floated up to him.

"Calm down now. Cut off the alarm!" He grabbed the headset. "Issuing a warning to approaching ZAFT vessels."

On the bridge of the Vesalius, all the crew could hear was vague words through static.

"Electrical interference. Emanating from the ZAFT vessel. Sir, this is clearly a hostile act."

The hangar of the Vesalius opened up. A GINN got into launching position and floated. The lines of the launch bay turned green. The sign changed from a red abort to a green launch. The GINN blasted into space as the cable disengaged from its back. Four more GINNs followed.

"Enemies?" Mu asked.

"Four vessels. One Nazca and three Laurasia class. Confirmed mobile suits, launching prior to jamming of communications."

"Well let's go scrap them!" Slade floated out of the room in a purple pilot suit. Mu was in a suit of the same color. The difference was that Slade's helmet didn't cover her mouth or have feathers on it.

"You took the words right out of my mouth." Mu said as he followed her.

"Launch all mobile forces! Upgrade to condition red!" The captain ordered.

In the secret hangar, a crew in white uniforms were in an observation bay.

"Don't panic. If we overreact we'll be playing right into their hands." The captain said. "Let Heliopolis deal with this situation."

The workers started loading the red & white ship as the timer for the bombs were at four minutes. The ZAFT soldiers flew through the corridors undetected.

"Yes I know." The Captain said over the phone. "We're prepared to launch if we have to." He hung up and turned toward his crew. "Get Lieutenant Ramius for me. Commence transfer of the G-Weapons."

One of the soldiers was the woman black-haired woman from earlier. "Sir." She saluted and moved out.

The fourteen GINNs flew closer and closer toward the colony.

"We're moving once we take out the mining area." Rau said.

"Yes Sir."

Five Moebius units flew out from the colony hangar.

Everyone in Heliopolis was going about like nothing was happening. Zeke was driving the truck in Haro next to him. Kira and his friends were working on an experimental rescue frame in Kato's lab. Flay and her friends were shopping. The two rivals were going all out in their video game fight.

Near the Morgenroete labs, several large trucks were being moved. Coordinating the transfer was a large burly man in his late fortes. He had experienced brown eyes and white hair. The most prominent feature was the scar that ran down the left side of his face. Unlike the other workers, his uniform was cobalt were the orange colors would be. (Voice: Clancy Brown)

"Get X-105 and X-303 to the ship." He ordered. "If you damage anything, its coming out of your paychecks!"

"Yes sir!"

The timers on the bombs reached zero. All around the secret hangar, explosions went off, killing many workers and soldiers, including the captain. Natarle and her fellow soldiers were blown back by smoke coming down the corridor.

Inside the colony, it felt like an earthquake.

"A meteoroid?" Sai asked.

Zeke hit the brakes and stopped before the truck turned.

"What was that?" Haro asked.

"Whatever it is, it can't be anything good." Zeke replied.

In the colony hangar, La Flaga and Slade got into their respective units. Mu's was a Moebius Zero, a mass-produced mobile armor built by the European Union. Slade's unit was a mobile suit that was the same size as ZAFT's GINN. Most of its body was painted dark green while its face, hands and fleet were gray and the cockpit was orange. It held a 90mm machine gun in its left hand, a shield in its left hand and hand a sheathed weapon on its left hip. This was the NMS-063 Minuteman, the main mobile suit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO for short.

"All Zeros and Minutemen, launch immediately!"

"Launch the ship. The harbor's about to be taken over." Mu buckled up.

"Time to go to work." Slade said as she put on her helmet and the glass slide up.

Four Moebius Zeros and four Minutemen detached from the two escort ships. Some of the NATO machines had two weapons on it back with a needle at the tip. They opened fire but the GINNs dodged the bullets and fired back. The remaining three Zeroes, Slade's Minuteman and the Marseille III launched from the hangar. Five GINNs descended down into a shaft and fired on the control bays.

"Oh no you don't!" Slade flew down the same shaft and fired her machine gun at one of the GINNs, hitting the cockpit and killing the pilot before it exploded. "Four hostiles have entered the colony. Requesting aid for pursuit!"

"Roger!"

The green mobile flew through the smoke and continued to pursue the ZAFT machines. Two Zeros followed afterward.

Klaxons blared inside Heliopolis. The ZAFT soldiers stood on a hill and saw several large truck with mobile suits in them.

"That's it." The red coat with silver hair said. "Its exactly like Commander Le Creuset said.

"What? With the right amount of prodding they're sure to come out of their hole?" The tan soldier next to him said jokingly. "After all, the Naturals are stupid and pathetic."

"Seems they found the treasure chest." One of the GINN pilots said. "Sector S. Factory district 37."

"Roger. That's showing them Yzak. That didn't take ya long." Miguel Aiman said.

Outside...

A Zero launched its missiles at a GINN. The GINN dodged some bullets and destroyed the missiles. Another Zero was destroyed by the Vesalius' CIWS. Mu's Zero launched two of its gunbarrels and fired its linear gun. The GINN dodged the gunfire but the Zero flew past it and fired with its gunbarrels, blasting it into oblivion. A Minuteman fired at a GINN, destroying its leg. However, the mono-eyed machine pulled out its heavy sword and stabbed the mobile suit through the cockpit.

Inside...

"Commander, the ship isn't responding. Status unknown." One of the workers reported. The Commander growled.

"Looks like ZAFT found out about our little project." He grabbed a nearly duffel bag and pulled out an M32 Grenade Launcher and an MP7A1. "Gear up! We're probably in for a fight. Grab as many close-quarters weapons as you can carry!"

Suddenly, two GINNs flew overhead and fired. The commander moved out of the way as the winds blew over them.

"Mobile suits. That's just great." Prep X-105 and 303 for combat. Get them out of the factory district! Have all missile trucks in defense positions and arm every work loader! Let's make these bastards regret coming here!"

"Sir, yes sir!"

A few miles away, Slade's Minuteman was engaged in an aerial battle with a GINN. The Minuteman opened fire but the ZAFT machine dodged the bullets. It zoomed in and destroyed the enemies machine gun with its heavy sword. But the NATO suit wasn't done yet. It pulled out the hip-mounted weapon from its sheath. The weapon was a sword that glowed orange. The Minuteman charged at the GINN who tried to block with its shield, but the sword pierced the shield and the cockpit before pulled back as the ZAFT machine exploded. But before Slade could celebrate, another GINN approached from behind and fired at her Minuteman's back thrusters. This caused the green mobile suit malfunction and fly out of control. Believing its enemy to be done, the GINN flew away.

Zeke continued to drive his truck down the low road as the Minuteman flew over the truck and crashed into the grass field. Zeke pulled down his goggles and saw a heat signature in the cockpit.

"The pilot's still alive. We gotta help." Zeke put the truck in park and ran toward the downed mobile suit as Haro bounced after him. The two of them arrived but were surprised when cockpit opened by itself. The airbags had deployed and Slade got out of the Minuteman, tossing her helmet on the ground in frustration.

"Are you okay?" The mechanic asked.

"I'm fine." Slade responded. The young woman looked up and saw a Zero getting shot down by a GINN. "I need to get back in the fight."

"Not with your Minuteman in this condition." Zeke thought for a few seconds before an idea popped in his head. "I can help."

"What?" Slade turned. "Who are you?"

"My name is Ezekiel Hudson. Most people just call me Zeke. And I can give you something that will even the gap between you and the GINNs."

Two GINNs fired on some military trucks on the highway. In the labs, Kira's group ran through the corridor and found the emergency stairs. Sai opened the door and saw some people going up.

"What's this all about?" Sai asked.

"We're under attack by ZAFT. Some of their mobile suits have entered the colony. You'd better hurry too."

Kira noticed the blond girl run away from the group. Kira chased after her. An explosion from the outside shook the corridor.

"Kira!" Tolle yelled.

"I'll be right back!" He said as he followed the blond girl.

Two GINNs landed on the highway and destroyed more trucks. A soldier crouched on a rooftop with an M200 Sniper Rifle. She loaded the armor piercing round and set her scope on the mono-eyed sensors. She pulled the trigger, the bullet cracking the mono-eye.

"Shit! My main camera!" The pilot yelled. Three soldier armed with AT4 CS Rocket Launcher fired on the cockpit area, running as the mobile suit toppled over.

"Mikey!" The pilot's distraunt over his fallen comrade gave the armored convoy a chance to take out. A barrage of missiles bombarded the GINN, leaving it servery damaged and fallen over.

But before the soldiers could celebrate, a warhead destroyed the convoy as the ZAFT soldiers flew down and fired on the infantry.

"Destroy any parts we can't carry and the factories." Yzak ordered. "Intel indicates five of them. Are the other two still inside?"

"Rusty and I will continue. Yzak, you guys take these three." The soldier next to him said.

"Okay. Go for it." He turned toward the other soldiers. "If you're piloting one, disarm the self-destruct first." The soldiers landed and killed the infantry with ease. One the soldiers tossed a grenade into the corridor of a container and destroyed everyone in it while the mobile suit inside was undamaged.

Meanwhile, Zeke was working on his laptop and the carrier unfolded and the cloak came off.

Kira and the blond girl reached the outside of and saw two mobile suits in containers as the crew engaged in a firefight with the ZAFT soldiers.

"Hey those are.." Kira said.

The blond girl got down on her knees as her eyes started to water up. "I knew it. The NATO prototype mobile weapons. Father I knew you betrayed us all!"

Her cry got the attention of the commander. His instincts caused him to open fire on the two teens.

"Come on!" Kira grabbed her hand and the two ran, barely dodging bullets fired by the worker.

"Those were children?" The commander asked. Bullets bounced off the mobile suit he was on as he snapped back in attention. He grabbed his grenade launcher and fired, turning any ZAFT soldier into burnt meat.

"Crying won't help you." Kira said. "Come on now! Run!"

On the highway, one of the grey G-Weapons stood up. It held a rifle and a shield.

"Wow. Pretty impressive." Yzak said in the cockpit. "Dearka, hows yours?"

"Great." The tan soldier with blond hair said. "Update activated. Nerve links reconstructed. Calibration set. It'll move."

The second G-Weapon stood. This one had two rifles on its back.

"And Nicol?"

"Not yet. Almost there." The green-haired soldier said.

The third G-Weapon stood up.

"Where are Athrun and Rusty?" Dearka asked. "Taking their time."

"I don't think they'll have any trouble. Let's stick with the plan. We'll leave with these three." Yzak said. "Let's get them to Commander Creuset before they get damaged."

The boosters on the backs of the G-Weapons activated. The three grey mobile suits flew higher into the colony.

Slade sat in the cockpit of a mobile suit similar to the G-Weapons as Zeke and Haro initiated the start-up sequence.

"Are you sure this thing will let me be beat those GINNs?" She asked.

"Well the combat data is in our favor but the reality depends on how you pilot it." Zeke responded.

"It's up to you!" Haro said.

"Far enough. I like a challenge."

"Alright that should do it. Activating OS. MBF-P04 Astray Green ready for battle."

On the display screen of the cockpit, an acronym appeared.

General
Unilateral
Neuro-link
Dispersive
Automatomic
Maneuver system

"Gun... dam." The warrant officer whispered.

"Alright. Try standing up."

"Roger." She gripped the controls.

"By the way, I never got your name."

"I'm Cassandra Slade. But feel free to call me Cassie." The two young adults smiled as the mobile suit stood up. Although it looked like a G-weapon, it was colored with a white outer body and green inner body. Its eyes glowed yellow as two GINNs saw it.

"What is that?"

"I thought their was only five."

"Who cares. Our orders are to destroy anything we can't carry."

"Mobile suits detected!" Haro yelled as Zeke and Cassie saw the approaching ZAFT machines.

"That's my Que." The green & white mobile suit ran toward the approaching machines. The GINNs opened fire but the Astray jumped into the air and spin kicked a GINN in the rib section, making the machine hit the ground. The Astray Green landed on it and fire its head-mounted CIWS and jumped off before the mobile suit blew up.

"What the hell!" The second GINN pulled out its Heavy Sword and charged. The Astray dodged swings as Cassandra looked for a weapon. She pressed a button and the mobile suit grabbed a white scabbard from its back that released a blue beam shaped like a sword. Astray swung its beam saber and cut the GINN at the waist.

"This suit kicks ass!" Cassie beamed with excitement.

Zeke and Haro saw the fight and were left speechless.

"Wow." Zeke said astonished that his invention could be used to take down two cutting edge mobile suits in less than three minutes.

At the factory, Kira and the girl stopped in front of a shelter door and caught their breath.

"See. Some people have evacuated here." The techie reassured her.

"Is there still someone out there?"

"Yes. My friend and I need to get inside. Please open the door."

"Two of you?"

"That's right."

"We're filled to capacity already! There's Shelter 37 in the left bunk. Can you make it there?"

"Please take my friend at least. She's just a girl." Kira said.

"Ya.. okay. Sorry.." The door opened up.

"Get in." Kira pushed her inside.

"What are you... I can't!" She said struggling.

"Get in will ya. I'll go to the other side. Don't worry okay." He pressed a button and closed the door. The elevator went down and Kira ran back into the fray. He looked below and saw the battle and the inactive mobile suits.

"Commander!" A soldier yelled.

A ZAFT soldier aimed his gun at the commander's backside as he stood on top of the Strike. Kira saw this.

"Behind you! Look out!"

The commander dodged the bullet and tried to fire back but his launcher was empty. The ZAFT soldier ran away from their sight. The soldier looked up and saw Kira on the upper level.

"That kid again. Why did he.." A soldier near him was shot. He crouched and fired his MP7A1, killing the green coat. He turned toward Kira.

"Hey kid, come here!"

"Thanks but I'm off to the shelters in the left block! Never mind me." Kira responded.

"There's nothing left behind that door!"

An explosion went off in the door next to Kira and knocked him on his ass. He got back up and ran down the stairs towards the Commander.

"This way!" The white-haired soldier ran up the frame of the Strike as Kira jumped over the railing and landed on his feet, surprising him..

A soldier fired and killed a ZAFT red coat. "Rusty!" The blue-haired red coat next to him yelled. He ran out of the cover and shot the soldier who killed Rusty.

"Hamana!" The commander aimed his pistol but the red coat was faster and shot him in the arm. As he fell Kira ran toward him. The red coat tossed his empty rifle and used his jetpack to boost him upward. As Kira crouched near the commander as the red coat ran toward them with a knife out. Kira looked up at the soldier and two meet eyes. Almost instantly the two recognized each other as the red coat froze up.

"Athrun?"

"K...Kira?"

As the fire grew bigger, to the two friends it like nothing was happening around them. The shock was too great. The scarred soldier grunted and aimed his pistol at Athrun. The blue-haired soldier jumped back and flew toward the Aegis. The commander got up and pushed Kira into the cockpit and fell in after him. The hatch closed up as the fire intensified. Athrun got into the cockpit of the Aegis and closed put before an explosion went off.

The Strike broke through the clamps and the wire broke off as the G-Weapon stood up.

Next Time: Its Name is Gundam

To the land of wars come back to life Gundam!

AN: I remember watching the 8th MS Team and Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz as a kid. I may not have understood a lot of the material at the time, but I knew what it was. A war drama with mobile suits as the main weapons and characters that were truly breathtaking. The first version of Tales of Mjolnir was learning more towards another version of A Retelling. And while that story is amazing, I wanted to do something unique. So with inspiration from Patriot-112's Nation of the Ice and ZAFT Prime's Gundam SEED Divisions, I decided to make my own SEED AU.

Basically, the Reconstruction War and the spread of Type S influenza never happened. So the nations of Earth are similar to real life. So the real NATO and European Union will be at war with ZAFT.

Also, the Natural VS Coordinator BULL*%&* annoyed the hell out of me while watching the SEED saga! That still be a theme, but it will be reserved for people like Flay Allster, Blue Cosmos and Patrick Zala's followers. It is not the reason NATO declared war on the PLANTs. The PLANTs were the ones that overreacted and dropped the N-Jammers on Earth. 243,721 people may have been killed in the Bloody Valentine Tragedy, but the April Fool's Crisis resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of people (both Natural and Coordinator) and sent the Earth into a new energy crisis! That gives NATO more than enough reason to declare war.

So enjoy the revised version of my story and please read and review!
