Bouvet Island
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
A single ASDF V-34 tilt-rotor transport aircraft was cruising throught the air toward one of the most remote places on the entire planet. Bouvet Island formerly a territory of now AEU Norway, was bought by the United Republic of Antarctica in 2150, and since then was used by the Antarctic Self Defense Force as a Military Research Facility, due to it's remoteness.
As the tilt-rotor came for a landing, standing on the landing pad was a man dressed in a black and white tuxedo, with short brown hair and brown eyes, waiting paciently for the transport to land. Once it did, the boarding ramp lowered, and Marianne Lamperouge stepped out.
"Colonel Lamperogue," the man said, saluting to the woman. "Glad to see you made it in time."
Marianne nodded at the man, "Is everything prepared?" she asked and the man nodded.
"Yes Ma'am. The Garuda is finished and the mobile suits are onboard, all that's left is to load the last of the supplies onto the ship," He informed, and Marianne nodded in acceptance.
"Good," she said and then proceeded to walk into the facility as the tiltrotor lifted off and headed back to it's carrier. "We need to get on the way quickly, and head up into Space. I'd rather not keep Nasha or the Japanese waiting. Speaking of them, what's the latest report on the Japanese's project?"
"They too are entering the final stages," The man answered as they entered an elevator which proceeded to go down. "The Susanoo is 95% Complete, and should be finished by the end of the month. Their mobile suits are also nearing completion."
"Good, very good. They should be done the day after tomorrow. Any incidents lately, like security breaches?" she asked and the man shook his head.
"Not if you count the penguins," he said jokingly. "Everything's been kept tight, no breaches whatsoever. We had a little incident with an AEU Spy, but we sent him home in a box...alive, of course. We just put him through our...special torture chamber."
Marianne looked at the man, concern on her face "What did you do?" she asked, and the man chuckled darkly.
"We put him in a Virtual Reality room, and had him go through endless cycle of Barney the Dinosaur Reruns." He said, and the Colonel shivered at the thought of that.
"Oh Great Lord above, that old 20th Century show is evil beyond comprehension," she said in a terrified voice, "I remember my son accidentally watching that garbage and he had nightmares for weeks!"
The man tried not to laugh out loud as the elevator continued down until it stopped and the doors opened, showing a massive control room. (Patriot-112: For lack of a better description, just picture the Nerve Center from COD: Black Ops, but MUCH bigger and more advanced.) And beyond it, was a window overlooking a massive hanger bay, and inside the hanger was a massive ship.
"The Garuda," The man said, "After all these years, its all finally come down to this." Marianne couldn't help but not. "Yes," she said. "And all this technology is thanks to the discovery of the 0 Gundam. Sometimes I wonder what Antarctica would be like now, if we hadn't of gained the 0 Gundam all those years ago."
The Man agreed with her on that, "I would imagine we would've fallen behind in Mobile Suit Development, or still be just using jet fighters or tanks," he said, "But, I'm glad that data terminal fell into our laps, and not into the hands of people like the AEU."
After that, they left the nerve center and boarded another elevator but it was on a rail that was in a 90 degree angle. The elevator car then began to descend down to the hanger floor.
"By the way, how are my children?" Marianne asked, and the man smiled "Doing well," he said. "Leoluche and Rolo are getting aquainted with the Patriot Kai's quite well, and Naunally is enjoying her operator position on the Garuda."
Marianne smiled fondly at that. Her Eldest son, Lelouche, was always the intelligent, but independent type, but cares deeply for his family, including his mother and siblings.
Rolo, her youngest adopted son, was truly a good natured boy, and inherited Marianne's love for piloting Mobile Suits as his borther Lelouche, and is persistent in looking after him. And like Lelouche, is very protective of his sister.
Nunnaly, her daughter, is a girl who any mother can love. She had her brother's intellect, but was kind, caring, and a true seeker for peace. But she was also careful not to be so naive.
"That's good," she said. "Lelouche told me he was given an offer to pilot on of the Gundams, but he turned down the offer, not wishing to feel spoiled or superior to Rolo." The man chuckled a that.
"Yes, indeed." He said, "He and Rolo both seem quite happy with their Patriot Kai's. Though Rolo seems to have a few ideas to improve their performance. He's already asked Lloyd for his opinion on possible upgrades to his unit."
Marianne had to suppress a chuckle a the thought of the eccentric and oddball Professor from the University of Ibelin. True the man sees pilots as just parts, much to her and Lloyd's assitant's ire, but he was the best at his job.
"And what was Lloyd's reaction?" she asked, and the man sighed.
"Same response he gives whenever someone asks to upgrade their mobile suit," he said exasperately, "I feel sorry for Cecile, she has to put up with his ramblings almost 24/7 after all..."
Marianne couldn't help but feel sympathetic for Lloyd's assistant, knowing it was true. The Elevator they rode soon reached the bottom of the hanger, and opened as they stepped out. After passing by several engineers and mechanics who saluted as they walked by, they moved up the boarding ramp onto the Garuda.
The crew onboard the warship all greeted and saluted her as she and the man traversed the halls of the ship, heading to the bridge of said vessel. It took them at least five minutes until they arrived at their destination. The bridge crew turned and immediatley stood at attention.
"Welcome aboard, Ma'am!" they all said at once, and Marianne returned the gesture smiling "At ease, as you were." she said, and the men and woman on the bridge returned to their duties. All except for the Captain of the vessel, a black haired woman who was the same height and age as her, with fair skin, and brown eyes.
"Is everything ready Natasha?" Marianne asked the Female captain, Natasha B. Gladys who nodded.
"Almost Lt. Colonel Lamperouge, it will take just 6 more minutes for the supplies to loaded onto the ship," Natascha said, and Marianne nodded.
"Good," she said. "Once we launch, we're heading to the Falklands to launch into space. We're then making way to New Philadelphia." She then looked around the bridge, "Captain...where is my daughter?"
Natasha smiled "She had to step off the bridge for a bit," she said. "But she should be back soon." Almost as soon as she said that, the door to the bridge opened, and a young 16 year old girl with long sandy brown hair and violet colored eyes wearing the ASDF uniform stepped onto the bridge.
"Sorry I'm late Ma'am, I-" The girl said, but she froze a bit upon seeing Marianne "M-Mom?" She muttered before snapping to attention "I-I mean, Colonel Lamperigue Ma'am!"
Marianne just smiled a bit "Nunnally, I told you you don't have to call me Colonel, or Ma'am, your my daughter after all." She said, and couldn't help but giggle at the embarassed look on her youngest's face, "Now, now, no need to feel embarassed dear," she said, and Nunnaly then perked up and gave a small smile.
"Right," she said, and then reported back to her station.
The phone next to the Captain's chair ringed, and Natasha picked it up "Yes?" She asked, and paused. "Already? Good, we'll begin now." She then hung up "Well, it looks like we'll be moving ahead of scheduled, all of our supplies are now loaded, we're good to go."
The colonel smiled "Then by all means Captain," She said, "Proceed with the launch, she's your ship after all."
Natasha smiled as she sat in the chair. Taking a deep breath she began giving orders.
"All hands are to man their stations for launch! All stations report in when ready!" she said, and soon in the span of 4 minutes, all stations reported in.
"All stations reporting standing by, Captain!" said the communications officer and Natasha nodded.
"Proceed with the countdown to launch, t-minus one minute,"
Outside, the hatches on the Garuda began to close, and boarding ramps retracted from the ship. The hanger bay of the Garuda began to be evacuated of the personnel outside the ship, as the front hanger bay doors opened up.
"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...Launch!" Natalia said, and the engines of the Garuda ignited, and the vessel began to move out of the hanger bay.
Outside, the base personnel watched as the Mobile Assault Carrier left it's hanger and lifted into the sky. Two soldiers who were clad in arctic warfare gear were also watching as the ship flew into the air toward the sea.
"Well, there she goes," said one of the soldiers, "Looks like things are gonna get interesting from here on out," the other soldier nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, and in a few weeks the world's gonna know about her, and the special toys she's carrying," he said and the 1st soldier scoffed.
"A few weeks?" he said, "I'd say about 4 days from now,"
The other soldier gave his friend a look that clearly said he was willing to gamble on that.
"Wanna bet?" he said, and the man grinned.
"Sure! 500 for the one who's prediction gets it right,"
"Deal!" And they shook hands.

The setting sun bathed the Japanese city in a orange light. The glass buildings reflecting the lights in a beautiful way. Shadows just beginning to overtake the city. Walking on the sidewalks were more than thousands of people heading home for the day. Cars as well were going through busy traffic to reach their destinations.
In the busy streets of the city, the video broadcast of 'Celestial Being's' statement was replaying on the big screen. While some people were rewatching the broadcast, most were minding their own business.
Louise Halavey looked up at the screen playing the message "Playing it again? How many times is that?" She asked, just as her friend Saji Crossroad ran up to her, slightly out of breath as he too looked up at the broadcast.
"Louise, do you think that celestial Being actually exists?" Saji asked, and Louise looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" She asked.
"Do you think there are people out there that will take action even if there's nothing in it for them?" He clarified. Louise thought about it for a moment before she smiled "They probably love volunteering," She said. The boy frowned as he walked away.
"Hey wait up! Saji!"

"We will intervene," continued the broadcast and the frown on the face of HRL Chairman Zhao Yaohang, became deeper as he silently turned the holographic screen off. (AN: I'm giving the Chairman a name since 00 never gave one to the guy)
"Are they the ones who thwarted he attack on Heaven's Pillar?" he asked as his secretary stood in front of him
"We believe so , in the statement, Celestial Being claims they have these mobile weapons called 'gundams' observe sir," he said as he walked up the desk and another screen came up, "this was recorded by our space forces," as he magnified the picture and the engraving og the word gundam appeared on the mobile suit.
"Gundam," frowned Yaohang.

The leaders of the AEU were gathered inside the meeting hall as they watched the destruction of their latest model, the Enact.
"Out latest model, and it was defeated so easily," sighed one of the men as he turned off the screen.
"Does this mean that we will have to curtail development to any knew weapons?" asked one and the only woman sighed.
"There's more to it than that, this has gone public!" She said, "Everyone know s that we have more forces than what the treaty allows, they're asking us to disclose everything!"
Another member of the Assembly spoke, "It gets worse! Apparently President Harkin is demanding a summit in Bern, Switzerland to demand why we broke the treaty that we signed in her country!" he said, "She also said failure to comply will result in major technology trade cuts, and will give more rights to the Union and the HRL,"
Everyone of the members gave a mixed look of horror and shock at that.
"You're kidding?" the woman said, and the man shook his head "No, she's dead serious about this." He said.
Another man sighed "We think that this is all a plot from the Union and the Human Reform League," he said, "After all, the development of a state of the art mobile suit requires the help of a highly advance nation,"
"That's true, a secret organization would need a powerful ally," said one as another spoke up.
"but none of the intelligence agencies has gathered any information on that yet," The other man said.
"There's only one thing that is certain," said a man and everyone turned their attention towards him. "This group called Celestial Being has a mobile suit that is far superior to our Enact. Mobile suit Gundam," and then every one looked back at the screen at the Gundam.

President Jason Morgan looked out the window of the Oval Office, overlooking Washington D.C, the capital of both the United States and the Union. The city was quiet as only a few people were out. The dark sky cloaking the city as the President looked out, accompanied by his Vice President David Burner.
"The elimination of war through armed force," He said suddenly, his eyes never shifting from their gaze. "Well David, looks like that somebody is offering to do our job for us,"
"Mr. Presidnet, do you think that they're actually serious?" David asked, "They seek no personal gain?"
The President sighed as he turned to face him "We intervene in the wars of others nations," he said, "to ensure the safety and prosperity of our citizens," He then smiled a bit dryly "We're not exactly running a charity."
"That is true, Mr. President," David said, and then smiled a bit, "I'm sure their true nature will be revealed in due time, But when the time comes it will be our duty to pass judgment on them."
"Yes indeed," answered the president and he turned to face the window, " ten years since the elevators came online, the economy's finally stabilized and now this happens,"

Meanwhile, In Japan
Tokyo Imperial Palace
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
The 130th Emperor of the Independent Japanese Empire, Kamahiro, watched the Celestial Being broadcast silently in the Throne Room of his palace. His face emotionless as he viewed every detail about the message.
'So these are the ones who created the 0 Gundam?' He thought. 'They finally reveal themselves to us.' He then pressed a series of buttons on his chair, and the image switched to that of the Blue and White mobile suit engaging the AEU's Enact. 'Their Gundam's performance obviously stands on par with our own Gundams, as well as those Antarctica developed.'
He looked at the image a bit more before he turned off the screen. The monarch of Japan sighed as he rubbed his temples, remembering how his nation finally escaped the shadow of the Second World War, and became a strong nation again. Of course, he made sure that he will not make the same mistake as his ancestor, Emperor Hirohito did, and made sure that control of the military was in the hands of the RIGHT people, not in the hands of militarists or corrupt bureaucrats. He also made good on the advice of his ancestor Emperor Akihito, and make the Royal Imperial Family closer to the people.
However, with the appearance of Celestial Being and the Gundam's, the Emperor knew that they would cause chaos in the world, weather they intended too or not. Greedy and Corrupt people like the current heads of the AEU, a few members of the HRL Military, and even some members of the Union's government will be doing everything they can to get their hands on one of Celestial Being's Mobile Suits.
He knew that to prevent this, the Independent Japanese Empire and the United Republic of Antarctica will need to rely on the secret projects they've been working on. The Gundams they built will be needed in order to stem the chaos and prevent those who wish to harm the world from causing more.
'Mitsubishi says the Susanoo should be completed by the end of the Month.' he thought. 'I can only pray that they will be ready for the challenges to come.'

Unidentified Pacific Island
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean was a small forest island. The forest looking almost like a jungle, trees and vines overtaking the clearing. A clear stream winding around the area cut directly through it.
For Lockon, Setsuna and Kevin, the island seemed even more quiet. Probably because the GN particles they were releasing in the air seemed to warn many of the natural wildlife away. Lockon watched from a distance the youngest Gundam meisters. Setsuna was sitting on a rock hunched over, while Kevin was leaning against a tree nearby his 'brother'.
At first he felt compelled to ask how they were doing. This was their first mission, and he wouldn't be surprised if the two were shaken up in any way. Though Lockon knew he would mostly be met with silence with Setsuna at least, he was one never to talk often. Though he never ignored anyone really.
However Kevin was another story. Though he wasn't the most social person on the planet, Lockon can actually have a good conversation with him. It also appeared that Kevin was the only person Setsuna ever really talks too. But Lockon has noticed that Kevin seems to keep his distance from both him and his sister Aiming Stratos, who was still on the Ptolomy. The reason why, he couldn't tell.
Deciding to give it a shot, he began walking towards them "Looks like we're the top news of every country," He said, "a mysterious group, claims to the whole world that state that they will eradicate war."
Kevin smiled a bit while Setsuna remained emotionless "Heh, I always wanted to be famous." He said, before frowning "Of course, the real problem is to make them think we can do it, I doubt the world will take us seriously for now."
"Then well have to make them believe," said a melodic voice and the three meisters turned and saw Wang Liu Mei, and her assistant, Hong Long, with the latter carrying her bridal-style. "After all, Celestial Beings actions can only be demonstrated through actions,"
"Wang Liu Mei..." Setsuna said.
"Well, you certainly got here fast Liu Mei," Lockon said, and the Chinese girl just smiled. "Time for your second mission!" She said.
Kevin meanwhile just looked at Hong Long with risen eyebrows "Seriously Long?" He said, "You really don't have to carry here everywhere."
Long just gave his blank stair back at Kevin, who after a few seconds just growled in annoyance "Damnit, your worse than Setsuna sometimes!" He said, and actually recieved a slight glare from Setsuna, and a giggle from Lui Mei.

Up in space near the Human Reform League's orbital elevator, the Celestial Being mother ship Ptolemaios was getting ready for the mission.
"Second mission will commence at 3300, I repeat second mission will commence at 3300," announced Chris as every prepared for the mission. Allejiuah and Tieria made their way to their gundams with their pilot suit on and their helmet's in hand.
"Field testing a mobile suit in combat? I really hate that," sighed Alleluiah
"We need to know the gundam's capabilities for future battles," informed Tieria.
"I know that," Allelujah said. "By the way, where's Ray?"
"In his room, but he'll meet you guys in the hanger soon," both meisters looked up to see their tactical forecaster making her way to the bridge. "And I'm sorry I'm working you all so hard,"
"Miss Sumeragi," Allelujah said.
"It isn't a problem, we knew what we wee getting ourselves into," replied Tieria as Sumeragi passed the two.
"You're tough," acknowledged Sumeragi turning to the purple haired meister
"I never wished to be weak," Tieria said. "That's our cue," said Allejiuah and the two floated over to their containers. Once the two were gone, the tactical forecaster sighed,
"They're so young," she said, before continuing on her way.

Ray had just finished zipping up his pilot and had his helmet in hand. Just as he was about to leave. He heard his cell phone ringing. Curious as to who is calling him, he picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey Ray, is that you?" A woman's voice said. Ray instantly recognized it and smiled.
"Yes is is Chall, good to hear from you." Ray said, "How's it been in Fereshte?"
"Good," Chall said. "Just the usual going on here, but recently we've found an abandoned URA Transport that had a few ARC Drives inside them. Sherilyn thinks she might be able to refit the Gundam's so that they can use the ARC Drives instead of the 0 Gundam's Solar Furnace. That way we don't need to keep switching the GN Drive between units."
Ray grinned at that, "That's good news, love," he said, "Those ARC reactors could help us out in the future,"
"I know. Also Linda's got an idea for a mass-production type Mobile suit," Chall said, "It'll take a while, but once they're finished, it could prove helpful to Celestial Being,"
Ray nodded "Sounds good," he said. "I have a feeling we could use some more Mobile Suits to help us out, as powerful as our Gundam's are, we could use all the help we could get. Anything else?"
"Well, now that we can use more units, I've been thinking of recruiting for some new pilots." Chall said, "I've been looking through some files, and I already found a few potential members of Celestial being who would make great pilots." However then Chall gained an unsure look. "Also...I've been thinking..."
Ray rose an eyebrow "What is it?" He asked, and Chall sighed. "Ray I...I've been thinking of piloting the Plutone again." She said, and Ray's eyes widen in surprise, and also showed concern.
"A-Are you sure about that, Chall?" he asked the white haired woman, "I don't what happened to Feldt's parents happen to you as well. I still have nightmares of that incident,"
Chall gave a knowing look at that, "I know Ray, I do as well," she said, and then smiled, "But I miss being a pilot, and being beside you while in the cockpit. Also, if I want to prevent another incident like what happened to them, I need to get over my past fears."
Ray only smiled a bit "Its your decision, Chall." He said, "I'll support you either way," he then looked at the clock. "Anyways, I gotta go Chall, mission today. Talk to ya later."
"Right, bye Ray." Chall said as she hung up.
Ray meanwhile sighed as he grabbed his helmet, and left his quarters, heading towards the hanger.

Hikari, Graham and Billy sat in the car waiting. It was at night so nobody would question what they were out there for. Especially since they were on an deserted road. Inside both were silent until Billy spoke up.
"Shouldn't you return to the army. Their probably panicking over there." Billy informed his friends. While he worked on his computer.
"And we also wanna learn more of those Gundam things, especially the blue and white one with the sword," Graham as he was also looking at images of the Gundams. More specifically the battle between the Enact and the Exia.
Hikari sighed at that, "What is it with you and swords, Graham?" she said, and the Union ace just chuckled sheepishly. "What can I say? Swords were the first actual weapon humans made in history!" He said, "Seeing a Mobile Suit that's truly mastered the art of swordsmanship just amazes me, and that one Gundam was something else."
He then looked at the images again "Its combat performance was one thing," he continued "But when it showed up, Radar, Communications and electronic equipment were all disrupted! And its all because of that light." He then turned to Billy "Katagiri, what's the story on that?"
"Well at this stage all I can say they are special particles." Taking a sip of some coffee he then continued. "The light probably comes from a decay of photons." As he finished that sentence another car's headlights was seen in front of their windshield.
"Special particles.." Graham muttered. As the other car pulled up in front of them. The three of them then exited the car to meet with the soldier of the other car.
"I don't just think its just the particles." Billy added, "I think those units have a lot more secrets than what we saw."
Graham smiled a bit "I think I like e'm," he said, while Hikari and Billy gave him looks of confusion. "What?" Hikari asked.
"What I mean is that I have more than just a casual interest," Graham said as the Union Soldier approached them, saluting.
"Lieutenant Graham Aker, Lieutenant Hikari Sera, Engineering Advisor Billy Katagiri, you have orders to return to MSWAD."
The trio saluted "Message Received, and understood." Graham said.

"Kyrios, Allelujah Haptism, moving to intervene." Pushing the controls forward Kyrios rushed forward on the catapult. Sparks marking its progress. Once off the catapult, the gundam speed forward.
After the Kyrios launched, the Virtue was then moved into position.
"Virtue is now locked into lnear field," said Chris.
"Now transferring control to Virtue," Feldt said, as Tieria gripped the controls.
"Roger, I have control," He said, "Virtue, Tieria Erde, launching!" The Massive Gundam then launched out of the catapult, following the Kyrios, as the Ophanim was lined onto the catapult next.
"Ophanim is now locked into linear field," Chirs said.
"Now transferring timing control to Ophanim." Feldt said, and Ray grinned as he flexed his fingers.
"Copy that, I have control." he said, placing his hands on the controls. "Ophanim Gundam, Ray Ramius, Heading out!"

"On schedule as planned," piped Haro as the three meisters made their way to their gundams. As they fell back into the pilot seats, a red beam scanned their eyes and the system was turned on.
"GN system repose, priority to Setsuna F. Seiei," reported Setsuna as the hatches opened and the Scepter, Dynames and Exia were moved from a laying position to a standing position.
In the cockpit of the Scepter, Kevin took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He then reached for a small compartment on the Scepter, and pulled out a small photo and looked at it. It had the image of a middle eastern man, woman and a young boy standing between then, with the man having his hand on the boy's head.
"Mom, Dad..." Kevin said, "If your watching...I hope I'm making you proud."
Once the gundam's were in stabilized positions, the GN drives started giving off GN- particles. The Scepter and Dynames then walked towards a large container, which opened revealing several different Mobile Suit weapons inside. Both Lockon and Kevin selected Sniper Rifles.
"So, taking the path of the Marksman today, eh Kevin?" Lockon asked, and Kevin just chuckled "What can I say? I like mixing it up a bit." he said as he attached his rifle onto the Scepter's shoulder.
After arming themselves, the three Gundam's then launched into the air.
Outside the hatches, both Mei and Hong Long watched the gundams launch as wind swept around them.
"Gundam," whispered Hong Long.
"yes, those are the machines that will demonstrate the ideals of Celestial Being," smiled Wang Lieu Mei.

"Maximum GN Particle Emmission," Tieria said as the three Gundam's approached earth, "Deploying ahead the machine."
Small segments of the Gundam's armor opened up, and more GN Particles began dispursing around the units.
"We've done this tons of times on the simulator," Allelujah said, "But-"
"We're at the decent point," Tieria said, cutting off Allelujah's musing as the Virtue accelerated forward "Commencing atmospheric entry."
The Kyrios pilot only chuckled, "That guy has nerves of steel I tell ya," he said, and Ray chuckled in agreement.
"Ain't that the truth," he said and followed Tieria's example.
"Wha- hey!" Allelujah said, but could only sigh, "They're both insane!" and followed them.

"Captain, the E-sensors picked up something entering the atmosphere," reported one solider.
"What! No one notified me about this!" yelled the captain as one of the soldiers put up an image of the incoming object. When the image popped up, every one gasped.
"Thos are-,"
'Gundams," said a gruff voice and the captain turned and saluted to the Colonel,
"So those mobile suits can enter the atmosphere alone, where is their destination?" Sergei asked.
"One moment sir, on their current descent point, their destination is Southern India, in the island of Ceylon!"
"But that's our territory Colonel!" yelled the Captain and Sergei looked at the screen at the images of the gundams.
"Incredible, is this one of their armed interventions?"

"They're here Setsuna, Ray, Allejiuah and Tieria!" informed Lockon.
"I confirm that, after the rendezvous we'll proceed to first phase," answered Setsuna as the three maneuvered their gundams to meet the others.

"It seems to me Celestial Being is wanting to show the world they mean business." Justin said, sitting across from her.
Vivian nodded in agreement as she read the report given to her by her aide.
"And they're heading to Ceylon. Very appropiate since that island has been a warzone for the past three centuries," she said, "And since the HRL made it worse with their intervention in the conflict for Solar Energy,"
Justin nodded, however then he thought of something "Hey, I just remembered, didn't Black Sword send in some of their guys there to help the Sinhala? The...Blitz Corps?"
The Antarctic President blinked at that before she grinned a bit "Yes, as a matter of fact." She said, "Well, at least it will be interesting over there. It would be nice to see how well our machines, as well as the Japanese's fair against Celestial Being's Gundam's."

Emperor Yoshiro nodded his head, as his personal Intelligence Officer gave him the information "So its former Sri Lanka then..." He said, "Do we have their time of arrival?"
The Intel Officer, Suki Toyama, a young woman in her early 20's with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes, nodded "Yes your Highness," she said, "According to our data, they should arrive at Ceylon in roughly 15 Minutes, give or take."
The Emperor nodded "Thank you, Toyama-san," he said, "You may leave." The Officer bowed in respect before she stepped back, and turned away.
'The HRL troops do not stand a chance,' He thought, 'But I wonder...will Celestial being just attack the HRL, or both sides?'

The Six Gundam's of Celestial Being soared through the skies towards Ceylon. Meanwhile Setsuna was mentally reviewing the information Sumeragi had told them.
"Currently, Ceylon is an state of anarchy. This is because of the ethnic warfare between the Singhalese majority and the Tamil minority. The fighting has continued almost uninterrupted since the 20th century. Celestial Being will intervene in this ethnic warfare,"
"An Ethnic conflict..." He commented to himself.
"Hu? You say something Setsuna?" Kevin asked, as the Scepter moved next to the Exia.
Setsuna then realized he still had a private channel open with Kevin "No, its nothing." He said.
Kevin didn't say anything, but continued to fly the Scepter next to the Exia. Inside the cockpit, Kevin could tell that Setsuna could see the similarities between Ceylon and the Middle East. Kevin would admit he did. He simply hoped that it wouldn't effect how they preform on the mission.

"The former Sri Lanka huh? If I recall correctly, the Human Reform League's been giving aid to the Tamil minority for the past ten years," commented Billy and Graham and Hikari nodded, both looking out the window in the hanger overlooking two standard Flag's.
"Yeah, under the pretense that they want to end the conflict," Graham said, "But it's a lie, it's about solar energy. The Human Reform League needs to keep the flow of energy from the coast of Eastern Ceylon and the Tamils are the strongest force in that region. But their interference only escalated the conflict, it even led to the fall of the country's government."
Hikari then hummed in thought "I also remember the Sinhala hired a team of Antarctic and Japanese Mercenaries to help them out not to long ago," she said. "I think their called the Blitz Corps."
Graham and Billy blinked, until their eyes widened in realization.
"Oh yes! I heard of them!" Billy said, "They're made up of former pilots from the ASDF, and the IJSDF,"
"Yeah, and from the file I read on them, their mobile suits are the best both countries could offer," Graham said as he smiled, "And it will take more than a few Tierens to take on something of that kind of caliber since Japan and Antarctica had been allies for hundreds of years. And their tech is truly top notch,"
Hikari giggled a bit "Ya, I remember that time when the IJE let you pilot one of their Shiden's to compare it with a Flag." She said, "You couldn't stop talking about it for days that it surpassed the Flag easily."
Graham chuckled "Well, its true." He said, "The Shiden is an amazing machine." He then contacted the pilot of the transport.
"How can I help you sir?"
"Tell the Captain to change course," he said, surprising both Hikari and Graham, "Also, get be two Fully Equipped Flag's."
"Sir!" The pilot said as he saluted and his image disappeared.
"A-Are you serious?" asked a disbelieving Billy, "This is risky!"
Graham just chuckled a bit "Yea, I know that," he said, "But I really want to test the capabilities of those Gundams,"
"But what if the HRL catches us fighting them on their territory?" Hikari said, clearly not wanting to cause an incident.
"Don't worry about it," Graham said, "I know what I'm doing,"
The two just give a deadpan look, "That's what we're afraid of," they both said.

At Ceylon

On the Island of Ceylon, a large battle was breaking out between the HRL/Timal Forces, and the Sinhalese. The Sinhalese were using their old MSER-04 Anf's to attack the enemy lines, however they were outmatched by the superior HRL Built MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Types, and slowly their numbers were beginning to dwindle thanks to the long-range fire support given by a few MSJ-06IILC Long Range Type Tieren's over a ridge.
Slowly the Sinhalese Forces were being fought back, as the Tieren's advanced. "We've destroyed 30% of the enemy Forces." The Captain of a Tieren Squad said, "Keep Pushing until we wipe them all out!"
As the Tieren's advanced, they had no idea that they were being watched from a distance, as in the forest was a single Dark Green and black woodland camo colored TMSF-RT-180 Shadow Patriot, and appeared to have an M.S Version of a ghillie suit over it. In its arms it held the standard M140 88mm Sniper Rifle, aimed at the Tieren's.
In the cockpit, an African American woman with braided dark brown hair and brown eyes grinned as she had the first Tieren in her sights. "Blitz One, this is Blitz Three, I have the enemy forces in sight," she said. "Permission to open fire?"
"We're all in position Jess," Came the reply on the Comm. "You have permission. Light e'm up!"
(Begin Playing: 'Your Going Down' By Sick Puppies)
Jessica 'Blitz Three' Winner smiled "Roger Than," she said, "Firing." and her finger twitched on the trigger, and an 88mm Bullet soared from her Shadow Patriot's Rifle, and crashed right into the Tieren's wing man, tearing the enemy M.S apart.
"What the hell? What was that?" one of the Tamil pilots shouted in alarm as his comrade's Tieren blew up in front of him.
"Sniper! Everyone spread out-," the captain ordered only to suffer the same fate as his subordinate, as a round hit his mobile suit square in the torso and causing the Tieren to blow sky-high.
"Two for me!" Jessica chirped, "Blitz Four, its your turn!"
"Damn, where did that come from?" A Tieren Pilot said as they scanned the treeline for Snipers.
"No Idea," another pilot said, "But it might be-" He was cut off as his Machine suddenly destroyed in a massive explosion. The other Tierens looked back, and they saw a lone Dark Green and Tan colored Patriot Grenadier, with the image of a storm cloud engraved on its left shoulder, and two Musashi Katana Swords drawn.
Inside the cockpit was a man in his early thirties, with rusty red military crew hair, violet eyes, and a crescent-shaped scar on his left face cheek. He was sporting a predatory grin as he looked at his prey.
"Hey now, no one invited me to the party," said Fred "Blitz Four" Spartan, "Now. Let's play!"
"Its the Blitz Corps!" One of the other Tieren Pilots shouted, "Open Fire!"
The Tieren's then opened fire on the Patriot Grenadier, however the Mobile Suit activated its thrusters and jumped into the air. It then tossed one of its swords at one of the Tierens, impaling the unit right in the torso. As the Patriot fell to the ground, he rose his second sword, and sliced another one clean in half in a downward swipe.
Another Tieren attempted to shoot at Fred from behind, however he quickly grabbed his shield on his back, and deflected the rounds off of it. "Yo, Blitz Five!" He said, "A Little Help would be nice!"
"Roger that," A female voice said, "Don't blink!"
Then, two streams of 80mm Rounds blasted out from the tree line, and the Tieren was blown to pieces. Then emerging from the trees was a Blue and Silver Patriot Grenadier duel wielding M10 Barracuda Machine Guns, both smoking from their recent discharge. Flaking it on either side of it was a Red and Blue trimmed MTMS-095J Raiden, and a Gold and Black NTMS-019G Shinhoto.
The pilot of the Patriot, a woman with short black hair and green eyes, was grinning "Time to cut loose!" She shouted as she charged forward, while the pilot of the Shinhoto sighed. "Why does she always go off on her own like that?"
The Raiden pilot, a man with military crew cut black hair and brown eyes just chuckled "Well, you can choose your friends Josh, but you can't choose your family." Said Halbert 'Blitz One' Whickman. "You just gotta learn to deal with it."
Joshua 'Blitz Two' Bristow sighed, as he chased after his sister, Alice 'Blitz Five' Bristow, while Halbert soon followed.
The Commander of the Tierens swore at the sight of the machines "Damn, get command to send in reinforcements!" He said, "Tell them its the Blitz Corps again!"
"Sir, we just got a message from command!" Another Tieren Pilot said, "Celestial Being is on their way here!"
The Commander swore again "Shit, of all the times..." he said, "Just get those Reinforcements here!"
Meanwhile, high in the skies, a MVMS-N100K Shiden that was colored sky blue with white trimming, had a specially designed sensor mounted onto its body. The pilot, a woman with green hair and light brown eyes, just listened to every word the HRL Soldiers just said, and cursed.
'So their coming here,' Sharon 'Blitz Six' Hoffman thought as she radioed Blitz One "Commander, we have a problem!"
"What is it, Six?" Halbert said in concern.
"I just intercepted a HRL message. Celestial Being is heading here, right now!" she warned and Halbert cursed a bit.
"Dammit! All Blitz Units, this is one! Celestial Being is en-route, if you see any of their Gundams, DON'T fight them! Just stop what you're doing and get away from there," Halbert warned his team, who all acknowledged him.
"Man, talk about killjoys," Fred groaned, not liking that their mission was cut short.

Just before the gundams reached their destination, Lockon opened a communication with all the meisters.
"Everyone take action according to Miss Sumeragi's forecasts. I'm hoping for a decent performance from you guys," informed the oldest meister
"Descent's okay," reported Allejiuah
"I think I would prefer to be through," answered Tieria.
"Kevin, Setsuna, how about you guys?" He said, but recieved no reply from them, which caused to blink in confusion.
"Hey? You guys hear me? Hey! Setsuna! Kevin!" he shouted, trying to get their attention.
Meanwhile, the two Middle Eastern boys looked at the battle s they're reminded of the war in Krugis.
"Reminds you of home, doesn't it?" Kevin asked bitterly.
Setsuna was focused on the fighting. While they were talking he heard all their words, but their voices were all tuned out by what he was seeing. The sight of all those mobile suits fighting him reminded him of that saw back then. When he first saw a Gundam...
"I am Gundam." he finally responded.
Kevin blinked "What was that Setsuna?" He asked, however the Exia simply accelerated forward towards the combat zone. "Ah shit, not this again!" Kevin shouted, "I'll get him, don't worry!" And he went off to chase Setsuna down.
"Hey! Hold it!" Lockon said.
"Looks like it started. You go baby-sit the kids," Allelujah said, as the Kyrios headed towards it target.
"Wait! What?" Lockon said.
"I'm starting the mission." Tieria also put in as the Virtue accelerated forward.
"Sorry Lockon, you gotta deal with this one yourself!" Ray added with a chuckle as he blasted forward.
"Why does it always have to be me? You guys!" yelled Lockon only to be ignored by the others.
"Sucks to be you, sucks to be you," piped Haro
"You got that right, I'll take care of long range fire, evasive maneuvers are up to you!" yelled Lockon as he landed Dynames on the ground.
The battlefield was beginning to heat up as HRL Reinforcements arrived in order to fight back the Blitz Corps, but the superior suits have managed to fight them off. As this was happening, a few HRL Tierens were fighting what was left of the Sinhales Anf's. But as one unit prepared to give the finishing blow to an enemy mobile suit a beam shot from above stopped it as it blasted its arm off, and causing its Carbon Blade to hit the ground.
"What the?" The pilot said, however then he saw the source as the Exia landed on the ground. "Their here...Celestial Being."
In the Exia's Cockpit, Setsuna looked at the battlfield "Exia, confirming conflict," he said in his monotone voice as the Exia switched its main weapon into sword mode. "Will Eliminate Targets." The Exia then dashed forward, slicing the first Tieren in half. Then Jumping in the air, he landed on top of another Tieren. Ducking under the rounds fired at another one, he then moved in quickly and sliced the arm off of the third Tieren.
The Tieren then tried to punch the Exia, but Setsuna ducked under the attack, twirled on the ground, and sliced the Tieren right through the middle.
Then a pair of HM Type Tierens tried to take Setsuna from behind, only for them to be shot out of the skies by two beam shots. Setsuna looked up and saw the Scepter with its beam rifle armed and ready. "You really should learn to not go in rushing Setsuna." Kevin said on the comm.
Meanwhile the Blitz Corps stopped fighting as the HRL Troops seemed more focus on the Gundam's. Everyone on the team watched in awe as the Exia and Scepter decimated the HRL forces.
However Jessica and Fred were interested for different reasons, as Jessica eyed the Scepter and Dyname's Sniper Rifles, while Fred was drooling over the Exia's GN Blade.
"I want that Sword/Rifle," were their respective thoughts.
As if feeling their intentions, Hal sighed in exasperation, "I know what you two are thinking, and the answer is no," he said.
"Aw come on, Hal!" Jess said in a whiny voice, "I really want that gun,"
"And I really want that sword!," Fred said, making Hal sigh again.
"I said NO!" he said with finality, while the two just grumbled in annoyance.
Meanwhile, on another side of the Battlefield, an HRL Base was quickly beginning to deploy reinforcements too fight off the Celestial Being Forces.
However, as a Tieren High Mobility Type prepared to take off, it was suddenly sliced in half and exploded.
"What?" One of the ground personnel asked, just as another Tieren exploded for seemingly no reason. "What's going on?"
Then, just as another Tieren exploded, out of the smoke and fire of the wreckage walked out the Ophanim Gundam, its Beam Scythe activated and held over its shoulder. Its shadow and the glowing green eyes it had seemed to pierce through the very hearts and souls of the HRL Forces.
"A-A Monster!" said one of the soldiers, and the result was a domino effect as HRL troops began to run for their lives.
Inside in the Ophanim, Ray couldn't help but sweatdrop at the soldier's interpertation, but was satisfied at the result as the soldiers ran around like chickens with their heads cut off.
"Monster?" he said, before blinking and chuckling "Well, I'd prefer 'God of Death' or 'Shinigami', but that works too!"
Meanwhile, the Kyrios flew overhead, and Allelujah's eyebrows rose upon seeing the HRL Soldiers running in fear. "Uhh...Ray?" He asked, "What did you do?"
Ray just chuckled "Oh nothing, Allelujah," he said, "Just...gave them a taste of the god of death."
Allelujah just rolled his eyes "Kyrios, moving on to bombard targets," reported the olive-haired meister as he released missiles from Kyrios. As the missles hit the ground, the screams from the men echoed in Allejiuah's head.
"Now I've become a mass murderer," sighed Allejiuah before he looked up with determination, "so be it," and kyrios moved on to its next mission phase.
Meanwhile, two Tieren Long Range Types on a HRL Carrier were acting as Naval Ship turrets as they fired at the shore where the Virtue stood, undetered.
"GN particle dispersal at 30%, now engaging targets," Tieria said as he hefted the GN Bazooka to the Virtue's chest, the turbine in the massive cannon spun as GN Particles were being charged.
"Firing," the Gundam Meister said, and fired the bazooka, the GN Particle Beam cut through the water, and cut the Carrier in half, while destroying one of the Tierens in the process.
Back with Setsuna, he just finished off another Tieren, when his sensors suddenly went off and he rose the Exia's shield just in time to deflect a large blast off of it.
In the distance, a Tieren Long Range Cannon Type's barrel was smoking from the shot "Did I get him?" The pilot asked, however his eyes widened upon seeing the Exia unharmed. "Not a scratch? What kind of armor is-" However his response was cut off as several beams from above, as the Dynames destroyed the Tieren and the suits around it.
"Dynames is targeted and ready to fire!" Lockon said, as he continued engaging the enemy forces.
Meanwhile, Kevin in the Scepter was busy sniping any HRL Targets he could find "The Gundam's preformance is amazing," he commented, "But...this seems just so one-sided."
However, just then his sensors went off, and he looked in surprise as he saw a Patriot Grenadier duel wielding Machine Guns was fighting off a team of Tieren High Mobility Type B's.
With Alice, she was cursing up a storm as she engaged the Three Tierens. Apparently, these guys were vent on taking down at least one member of the Blitz Corps, or die trying before Celestial Being got to them.
"Shit, these guys aren't half bad!" She said, noting the Tieren Pilot's skills were rather good despite being in obsolete machines. They continued hovering close to the ground, moving around her in circles, preventing her from getting a good shot.
Then, one of the Tierens moved from behind her, and crashed into her Patriot from behind. "Crap!" She shouted as her Machine tumbled forward, however she managed to quickly regain her footing and turn around, firing the last few rounds of her first Machine Gun into the Tieren, destroying it.
She then tossed the empty weapon away as he drew out her Musashi-III Katana Sword, as the last two Tieren's charged at her. They then attacked her from both her flanks, firing their Smoothbore Cannons.
Alice ducked under the attacks, but the Tieren on the right moved in and kicked her unit to the ground. "Fuck!" She shouted, and tried to get back up only for the second Tieren to slam its foot down on the Patriot, and rose its bladed rife, prepared to stab the Patriot's Cockpit.
However, just as it was about to make the finishing blow, is arm was suddenly blasted off by a beam, followed by a second beam that slammed into the Tieren's cockpit, downing the unit for good. The second Tieren soon befell the same fate.
The Patriot Pilot blinked as she looked at the source, and it was none other than one of the Celestial Being Gundam's, the black and red one with the beam sniper rifle. The Gundam simply gave the Patriot a quick salute as it continued its mission.
Alice watched as the Gundam that just saved her life sped off into the distance, and smiled "Thanks buddy," she said before she stood the Patriot back up. "Looks like I owe you one."
The Gundam's battle with the HRL Forces continued, until at long last the HRL Forces decided to cut their losses. "Fall back, fall back!" The Commander said, as the surviving Tieren's began to retreat.
"That's it, I think that's it Setsuna," assured Lockon as Dynames flew over the island near Exia, with the Scepter following. Unknown to the two meisters, the Sinhalse mobile suits started chasing after the other mobile suits.
"Thanks for the help. The enemy's running scared, this is our chance to pay them back!" yelled the commander as the mobile suits headed towards Exia
"You idiots!" yelled Lockon as he aimed the GN- rifle. But as the mobile suits got close to Exia, three large explosions around the Exia caused them to stop.
The Sinhalse Suits, along with the Gundam's looked in surprise as the Blitz Corps mobile suits stood not to far away, with the leading Raiden having its rifle risen from its shots "Fall back you two," he ordered, "We've already won this battle, theirs no point to continue it now."
When it sounded like the Sinhalese we're about to argue, the Raiden pilot yelled, not planning to deal with their crap, "I SAID FALL BACK! You want Celestial Being to go after you as well? If you continue, then if the Gundams don't decide to wipe you out, then my team will do it, regardless of the consequences!"
Lockon was suprised by the Raiden pilot's outburst, but couldn't help but give a small smile at that.
It was a few minutes until the Sinhalese Anfs also retreated back to their base. The Raiden and the units accompanying it then approached the Dynames, Exia and Scepter. "For what its work, thank you for what you've done," The Raiden pilot said, "You saved a lot of lives today, even if you didn't mean too. If it means anything...we hope you do succeed in your mission. But if you need any help, you know where to find us."
The three Gundam Meisters all looked surprise, however they just nodded their Gundam's heads as the Blitz Corps left.
However, the Patriot Grenadier Kevin saw earlier stopped and turned back towards him. She took out her Musashi Katana Sword, and tossed it at the Scepter in a way meant for the Gundam to catch it, which it did. "Consider that a 'thank you' gift from earlier." The pilot said, as she giggled a bit "Till we meet again Gundam Pilot!" And left to follow her comrades.
Kevin blinked in surprise as he looked at the Musashi Katana now in his hands, but then grinned "Well, looks like I have a new weapon for my collection!" He said, as he attached the weapon onto the Scepter's side.
Lockon could only roll his eyes at this.
"Come on you two," he said, "Let's regroup with the others,"
With that the three Gundams regrouped with their comrades and headed back to their island base.

"I thought so, Aeolia Shemburg," said Kinue when one of the reporters yelled that Celestial being intervened in the Ceylon war.
"Madness, a single intervention and they think this will end a war that's been going on for 300 years!" yelled Sergei Smirnov as he was informed about Celstial Being's intervention.
"Not a single time, as many times necessary," said Wang Lieu Mei sipping her tea.
"Until the war is over, and they begin to turn their hatred towards us," continued Alejandro Corner and behind him, Ribbons smiled.
"That is Celestial Being, we are the pain that always accompanies a great change," whispered Sumeragi as she drank form her flask.

The Dynames, Virtue, Kyrios and Ophanim flew over the pacific oceans, en route too the pacific island base when Allejiuah noticed something.
"Where's Kevin and Setsuna, they weren't shot down were they?" he asked, and Lockon answered for him.
"They went back ahead of us," he said, "This was their first intervention, they might need to calm down a little bit,"
Meanwhile, Tieria narrowed his eyes a bit, "I don't understand?" he said, "How did those two ever become Gundam Meisters?"
Ray sighed a bit at that, "It's was Veda's decision, Tieria," he said, "You should know better that any decision by Veda has a valid reason,"
The pilot of Virtue sighed a bit, "I know that," he said, "But still...,"
Meanwhile with the Exia and the Scepter were heading back to the island ahead of the others.
Kevin sighed as he remembered what happened during the intervention. "Soran, you alright?" He asked.
For a moment, Setsuna was quiet "Ya...I'm alright." He said.
"You don't sound, or seem like it Soran," Kevin said, "I know that battle shook you up, I know it did me."
"Its not that Ken..." Setsuna said, "Its just-"
Before Setsuna could continue his speech, their sensors picked up something "What the...a Union Transport Plane?" Kevin said, surprised at the results.
"In this airspace?" Setsuna asked, and the two prepared for combat as the Union Transport flew over them.
Then, out of the cargo hatch of the transport, two SVMS-01 Union Flag's dropped out of the cargo bay. "We've got Flag's! Two of them! Both in Fighter Mode!" Kevin reported.
"I see them!" Setsuna said as he readied his Sword Rifle in sword mode. Meanwhile Kevin took out his newly acquired Musashi Sword and prepared it for combat.
Then, as the Flag's approached, they both transformed in mid air, surprising both Kevin and Setsuna to see the Graham Aker Special used twice, as the two units drew their Plasma Swords and attacked. Exia caught the lead flag's attack with his sword/Rifle, while Kevin caught the others with his sword.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Gundams!" Graham Aker shouted from his Flag.
"Who the hell are these guys?" Kevin asked, as he fought back the Flag.
"The Name's Graham Aker and Hikari Serra!" He said, "And I'm a man obsessed with everything you are!"
