Kira Yamato groaned slightly as he slowly opened his eyes and looked around, and after studying his surroundings for a few short seconds, the amethyst-eyed man realized that he was in the Captain's Quarters on board the Excalibur.
One hour later, back on Earth, in New York City, chaos reigned as the roar of jet engines filled the sky. A moment later, an ear shattering explosion tore through the city streets and a massive fireball rose into the sky.
In an instant, people were screaming and shouting, people were dying and suffering and other people were trying to call their loved ones.
"I'm Dan Rather, reporting with some breaking news. The north tower of the World Trade Center has been hit by a commercial aircraft."
The bridge of the Excalibur fell into stunned silence as everyone stared in horror at the screen. The news had switched to a live video feed showing of the Twin Towers in New York City, with the north tower furiously burning.
Everything in the city came to a halt when a large humanoid machine with angel-style wings suddenly appeared in the sky. This machine was the newest mobile suit built by Celestial Being, the CB-X60D Divinity Gundam. Everyone stared in stunned silence as the Divinity Gundam pointed at the now burning tower with its left hand, and instantly the fire extinguished itself.
As soon as the fire had been snuffed out, Kira glanced at the digital clock within the cockpit, noticing that the local time was 9:01 AM.
"Time to change history." Kira sighed just as the second plane, a Boeing 767-222 approached, heading straight towards the south tower. Without any hesitation, Kira raised his beam rifle, aiming it at the oncoming airliner, while at the same time, forcibly opening a communications line to the aircraft.
"Attention, United Airlines Flight 175, change your course immediately, if you come any closer you will be fired upon. This is your only warning!" Kira commanded, the tone in his voice making it clear that he was completely serious. Much to Kira's annoyance, instead of adjusting its course, the airliner's engines roared to full power.
"Morons!" Kira roared before holstering his beam rifle, since he didn't want to kill innocent civilians. Unexpectedly, the airliner began to hover in place, and as it hovered in front of him, Kira utilized his more god-like powers, causing the doors leading into the cockpit to suddenly slam shut and lock, trapping the terrorists within the tiny room, he then shut down the aircraft's engines and extended the landing gear, before gently lowering the aircraft towards the streets below.
As he lowered the airliner towards the ground, Kira utilized his powers to take control of the civilians on the ground, although in their minds, the civilians were still acting upon their own free will, as they quickly dispersed, clearing a landing point for the now disabled airliner.
Twenty minutes later, the Destiny Gundam pulled alongside American Airlines Flight 77, the Gundam itself seeming to glare at the aircraft. In the cockpit of the Destiny Gundam, Hope Yamato scowled as she quickly pulled ahead of the Boeing 757-223, raised her beam rifle and fired two blasts, quickly destroying both engines.
"Well," Hope muttered to herself as the now disabled airliner screamed past, "This plane was destined to hit the Pentagon, so I don't see any problems with vaporizing it." Hope smirked slightly as she pulled her Gundam in behind the airliner, quickly matching her target's speed while freeing the twin buster rifle from the back of her machine.
"We're Gods and we're fighting for the sake of what's to come; to protect the future." Hope said as she aimed her rifle, glaring at the now decending airliner. "Once again we must take up arms and fight." Just as she began to pull the trigger, the Destiny's twin buster rifle was peirced by a pair of green beam blasts. Hope instantly dropped the weapon, watching as it exploded in midair.
"Being Gods and fighting for the future does not mean that we are allowed to kill innocent civilians, Hope Yamato." Kira growled through the open communications line as the Divinity Gundam charged towards the Destiny Gundam, the angelic machine dove out of the sun, the glare momentarily blindning the pilot of the Destiny Gundam. Without any hesitation, Kira reached out with his left hand and instantly the Destiny was bathed in the purplish cone of radiation energy from the Tranquility Directed Neutron Disabler mounted within the palm.
Much to Hope's shock; not only did the Destiny Gundam's nuclear reactor shut down, but its GN drives and warp core powered down as well. Denied its primary sources of power, the Destiny switched to its limited battery, losing its Mirror Coated Phase Shift armor, sensors and thruster control.
Kira let the Destiny Gundam drop away from him, but it was caught a few seconds later by the Strike Freedom Gundam. The amethyst-eyed man then turned his machine to face the disabled airliner, once more utilizing his god-like abilities, causing the doors leading into the cockpit to slam shut and lock, trapping the terrorists within the tiny room. Still utilizing his divine powers, Kira then extended the landing gear, before finally landing the aircraft on the highway below.
A few hours later, the massive form of the Warship Excalibur suddenly appeared on local airport radar screens. However, the huge ship vanished just as quickly as it had appeared, as it jumped into a completely diffrent universe and timeline.
