I know many of you may be upset about me cancelling my other SEED Fics, but its for the best, because this fic is gonna top them all! In this fic, the Mercenary group we know as Terminal will be taking a much more active role in this fic than they did in the series. You'll see why later. Also, many Ships, Vehicles and Mobile Suits were created by Patriot-112. So thanks goes to him on those. So anyways, here it is, and please enjoy!

Terminal Edelweiss-class Mobile Assault Carrier
January 12th Cosmic Era 71
En-route to Heliopolis

Captain Eleanor 'Elle' Varrot sat in the Command chair on the bridge of Terminal's Prototype Assault Carrier, the Edelweiss. She was a 37 Year old woman who had short black hair tied up into a single bun on the back of her head, and brown eyes behind a pair of glasses.
She was in command of a small fleet of Terminal Warships, moving to pick up a special 'package' from the Orb space colony Heliopolis. The fleet she was given command of was a small one, consisting of her own ship, as well as an escort of one Wallace-class Battleship, two Iscariot-class Cruisers, and one Lewis-class Destroyer. Not to mention the entire complement Mobile Suits onboard their ships as well.
"Ma'am, we are approaching Heliopolis Space now." The Pilot of the Ship said, a young girl with Black hair and Dark Blue eyes, wearing the Blue/Red Terminal Uniform.
Elle nodded "Good, any sign of the E.A?" She asked, turning to the Navigations Crewmember, A boy with short black hair and eyes and wearing glasses.
"Scanning…" He said "Affirmative, one Marcelle III-class Transport is entering Heliopolis as we speak, and…hold on…Ma'am! I've Identified a small fleet of ZAFT Vessels just outside of Heliopolis Sensor Range!"
Elle's eyes went wide and she swore in her mind. "How many of them, Kreis?" She asked.
"I can count Three Nazca-class Destroyers, and two Lauasia-class Frigates Ma'am." Kreis Czherny said. "They are holding their position behind a small Asteroid in the area."
"What the hell are they doing here?" Elle thought out loud when a voice answered "They probably followed the E.A here to see what they were doing." Elle turned around to see a 24 year old young man enter the bridge. He had Short grayish hair and grey eyes, and had a Terminal Commander Uniform.
"Most Likely, Welkins." Elle said, nodding in agreement. "But...what will they do now? I doubt they would attack a neutral Colony for the G-Weapons."
"If the commander's stupid enough, they will." Welkin Gunther said. "Best Case Scenario, they'll wait out here until they leave, and Ambush them. Worst Case…" He sighed "They'll try to sneak in, Capture and/or Destroy any EA forces they find, and…kill anyone that gets in their way."
"Then Let's hope the Zaft Commander's not an idiot." Elle said, with a sigh "Though, best be prepared and get the pilots on stand-by."
"Say no more, Captain." Welkins said, with a smile "We've already familiarized ourselves with the controls of the new Cavilers, and are ready to use them if we have too. Just give us the word, and we'll launch."
Elle nodded "See to it then." She said, with a nod and Welkins gave her a quick salute and moved to leave the bridge.
"Welkins…Be Careful if things go bad." The Ship Pilot, Isara Gunther said. Welkins just smiled "I'll be ok, sis." He said. "You just worry about the ship." And with that, he left the bridge.

Marseille III-class Transport
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
The Earth Forces vessel steadily moved into the harbor of the resource satellite, guided in by the Heliopolis Traffic Control Room staff. The staff we're on edge as this is the last day the Earth Forces will be staying here, and the sooner they're gone the better. As the docking procedures were complete, the captain of the old transport heaved a sigh of relief as he turned to the two Earth Forces officers who helped him get here on time.
"And there you have it. This old ship has completed her final mission," he said as he let his officers visor cap float in the zero-g. "You both did an excellent job of getting us here, Lt. La Flaga and Lt. Cypher. I am in your debt." he thanked as the two individuals turned. One Mu La Flaga, a blonde haired, blue eyed man at the age of 28, and his companion, John Cypher, with short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and at the age of 21.
"Sir, I'm just glad we made it without incident," Mu said and then John asked his next question.
"Any ZAFT vessels in the vincinity? You know, just to be safe?" he asked a little concerned.
The Captain shook his head "None that we could detect, but it doesn't mean their not out there." He said. "Even if they were, we don't need to worry, they can't come after us now that we've docked."
Mu just smirked and John just shook his head at the irony of it all. Mu then ask the question he knew John would say "Because it's Neutral Territory? What a joke that is."
The Captain laughed a bit, "Well it's thanks to Morgenroete we progressed this far. We should be thankful at least that Earth has recognized Orb and Terminal."
"Excuse us sir?" one of the pilots that Mu and John were assigned to protect requested as he and his comrades saluted the captain and he returned the gesture, and then they were off. John and Mu were having second thoughts about all this.
"Think they can handle themselves, alone on the ground?" Mu asked with concern. The Captain reassured him.
"I know they're young, but they are all top guns picked to pilot the G-weapons." John was'nt convinced
"Even still, I dont think they're ready, sure it was Rena that trained them, but, I don't know," the Captain could tell what he was thinking.
"Well if you two were assigned to the project, you'd stick out like a sore thumb. No offense," Mu smirked sheepishly, while John just looked out the bridge window. He knew that an old friend of his, Murrue Ramius, was working with the G-Weapons. He and Mu had already lost their fair share of friends and allies in the war, and neither of them wanted to loose any more.
"Still…their unprepared." The Captain admitted. "And inexperienced. They could barley get those things to move in our simulators because the O.S was so bad…" He then sighed "If only he were here, then we might have a ghost of a chance at getting a working O.S for them."
The others nodded, knowing who he was talking about. "Ya…wonder if he's still alive?" Mu asked no one in particular.
John just smirked "Oh, he has to be alive." He said, "People like Ryu don't die so easily. He's probably out there, somewhere. Question is, where?"

Nazca-class Destroyer Vesalius
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Captain Ades of the Nazca-Class Vesalius was on edge, he knew this is a bad idea as the small ships carrying the commando team headed toward Heliopolis. If Orb ever found out about this there will be hell to pay. Despite his advice to wait for a reply from the Supreme Council on what to do, his commanding officer though was not one to be called patient.
"Try not to look so frustrated Ades" said Rau Le Creuset, as he floated by him
"Well I dont see any harm on waiting for an reply from the council.." before he can finish, Rau cut him off.
"It will be far too late. I have a sixth sense of these sort of things," the masked commander replied as he gently tossed a photograph of a strange mobile suit toward him. When ever Ades had a discussion with, he always felt a chill go up his spine as the masked man continued, "Should we fail to act now, later we will pay with our lives for our reluctance." he said as he took his seat next to Ades. "The Earth Forces' new Mobile Weapons. We must secure before they can move them"
Ades didn't respond but still shifted uncomfortably is his seat as he monitored the bridge. "Still commander Creuset if we do this we risk making ORB our enemy." he said in concern.
Rau le Creuset just smiled at Anders response "Don't worry captain ORB won't dare to retaliate due to the fact that they are already breaking the treaty," he said. "We will simply go in, grab the Mobile Suits, and bring them back. Failing at that we will destroy any extra suits Intel may have missed."
Ades sighed, but nodded. "Sir, we're picking up a Comm request from the Empire." Said the Communications Officer. "Commander Maxmillian wishes to speak with you."
"Patch it through." Rau said, and the Officer nodded and clicked the buttons. Shortly after the image of the bridge of another Nazca-class Destroyer appeared. In front of it were two figures. The first was a 29 Year old man, who had short curly Blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a similar White Zaft uniform that Rau wore. Standing next to him was a beautiful Silver-haired, red-eyed woman who looked to be 22 years old. She wore a black ZAFT uniform.
"Commander Le Cruset," The Man, Commander Maximilian Von Reginrave, said. "I was just informing you that my forces are prepared to launch at your command."
Rau smiled "Thank you, Maximilian." He said. "Though, I must admit I find it curious as to why you are not attempting to take command of the Operation."
Maximilian nodded "Understandable," he said. "Simply put, I believe that you are more than capable of doing this Operation on your own, Commander Le Cruset. I simply decided to Join you incase any G-Weapons Remain in the hands of the EA after the initial attack. This is also why, though I will not be in command, my second-in-command Selvaria Bles here will still be launching with your Mobile Suit teams."
Rau nodded "Thank you for explaining that, and it will be an honor to my men to be fighting on the same fields of battle as the Valkyria of Grimladi."
"Think nothing of it." Maximilian said. "She and the rest of the team will launch when ready. Empire out." And the Transmition ended after that.
"Sir, I can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something." Ades said. "Theirs something off about him…"
"I know how you feel, Ades." Rau said. "But it doesn't matter, he's here to help us, and that is all that matters right now. Get our Mobile Suit Teams ready to launch when the time comes."

In Heliopolis

A 17 Year old boy with Black/Red hair and Red Eyes yawned as he woke up from his nap, and sat up on his bench under the covered sitting area in the park. He was wearing a pair of Blue Jeans, and a Red T-Shirt under a blue jacket, and sneakers. "What was that, Kira?" He asked. "You say something?"
Kira, a 16 Year old Girl, sighed as she shook her head. "I said, did you hear the news Jaden?" She asked. "It just said that Zaft took over Kaohsiung." She was a beautiful girl, with wavy chocolate brown hair that fell just past her shoulder blades that framed amethyst colored eyes that sparkled with kindness, she had a slender frame with C-cup breasts, and was wearing a sleeveless black dress shirt along with black jeans and running shoes.
"So?" Jaden Takeo said. "Sure, their Close to Orb, but Zaft's not dumb enough to attack Orb. Especially with Terminal Backing them up. See?" He pointed to the screen, showing the several TMSF-081 Patriot's assisting in evacuating Civilians from the battlefield.
"We know that, Jaden!" A third voice said, this one coming from the second female with them. "But doesn't it worry you at all?" She looked oddly similar too Kira in a few ways, but the difference was that this girl looked a bit older, at 18 or so years old. She had shoulder-length Dirty blonde hair, and had Dark Blue-Purpleish eyes. She wore a short-sleeved dark blue shirt with Grey jeans and running shoes.
"It does a bit," Jaden admitted. "But it's the least of our worries. We should be worried more about these spec's Kato wants done Kira, Nitsuki." He then turned to the fourth figure "That goes to you too, Lazy-ass." He said, smirking a bit.
The fourth figure with them mumbled something before he sat back up. "I was just resting my eyes," He said. "I've been up all night working on this stuff, cut me some slack." He was around 5'12 in height with light brown hair in a military crew-cut and laughing green eye's, he had a solid build that spoke of a martial artist, he wore a white undershirt underneath an open blue button up t-shirt, along with a pair of comfortable blue jeans and sneakers.
Jaden rolled his eyes "Sure, Ryu. Sure." He said. Ryu Hisanaga shot a glare at Jaden for a moment before looking at Kira's screen. "So, Zaft finally took Kaohsiung?" He asked.
"Ya, and this is old by a few weeks." Nitsuki Leese said. "Meaning they've probably taken over Taiwan by now. Me and Kira are just worried weather or not the Homeland will be alright."
"Don't worry about it." Ryu said. "Zaft's not cocky enough to take on both Orb and the E.A at the same time, especially with Terminal Backing Orb up. Besides," He grinned a bit. "Shouldn't you two be more worried about the revisions to the Operating System(OS) that the professor gave you." He said, adding a chuckle at the end.
"We know that, Ryu!" Nitsuki said. "But do you think that you could contribute a little bit more? You are Kato's assistant after all."
"I think his responsibilities lies more in the area of keeping us out of trouble, like the support frame incident, the time we blew up the garage trying to build that support frame," Jaden said, naming off the different things they have done for Kato, each one causing the two girls to blush a bit more as he read them off.
"It was only half of the garage!" Nitsuki said/shouted. "And Ryu Caused it! He Crossed the wires!"
"Hey, I warned you guys about that death trap!" Ryu retorted. "But did you listen? Noooo. If I hadn't cut the power, it would have been a bit more that just the garage that blew up!"
"The Explosion was still awesome though." Jaden said, with a grin that caused Kira to sigh "You are such a child sometimes, Jaden." She said, rolling her eyes, while Ryu chuckled a bit. "Even I'll admit, It was a nice little bang." He said, which caused Nitsuke and Kira to sweat drop.
"Hey, Kira! Jaden! Ryu! Nitsuki!" A voice called out, and the four turned around to see a trio of individuals approaching them. The first one, the one that called her name, was Tolle Koenig, a 5'4" tall male with brown hair and green eyes and an average build, beside him was a 5'3" tall girl with brown hair, blue eyes and a slender frame, her name was Miriallia Howe and was currently dating Tolle. The last one with them was a 5'9 tall Male, with short dark brown hair, and blue eyes, wearing a black T-shirt with a matching black jacket over it, and grey jeans and sneakers. He was Adam Parker.
Jaden smiled a bit "Wazzup, guys!" He said. "What are you doing here?"
"Kato needs you four back at the Lab." Tolle said, causing the four to groan in displeasure.
"Are you kidding me? We are barley finished with the crap he dumped on us yesterday!" Nitsuki whined.
"Can't that lazy bastard try doing some of this stuff on his own?" Jaden practically shouted. "What does he think we are, Supermen?"
"I'm still working on the schematics for the DSSD's new model!" Ryu said as a green and yellow metallic bird landed on Kira's shoulder.
"Birdie?" It chirped mockingly at Ryu who glared at the machine.
"I. Hate. That. Bird. MOCKING ME!" He shouted pointing at Birdie with a tick mark on his forehead as everyone laughed at him "Why does that that damn bird mock me?"
"'Cause he knows you hate it." Kira giggled as she gathered up her stuff "and because it's funny." Nitsuki added quickly as she dancing out of Ryu's reach as he took a small swipe at her growling before taking chase throwing paper balls at her as the others followed laughing.
"I'm glad I managed to finish most of the stuff last night," Jaden said as he walked with the others. "But geeze, does that guy ever give us a break?"
"Since when has Kato Ever given us a break?" Adam asked, and Jaden nodded a bit "Good point." He said. "So Adam, how's Flay doing?"
Adam smiled a bit. It was no secret now that Adam was Dating Flay Allster now. Ever since about a month ago when She was almost mugged by a bunch of thugs on the streets, and Adam rescued her, the two had become quite close to one-another, even after she discovered he was a Coordinator like Jaden and most of his friends, it didn't matter to her anymore.
The real shock was how her old boyfriend, Sai Argyle, took it. He actually took it quite well, and understood the whole thing. All he wanted to see was Flay happy. The only real problem was that Flay had yet to tell her Father that the engagement was off, and that she was now dating a Coordinator.
"Pretty good." Adam said. "She still hasn't told her Father yet, mostly because its almost impossible to contact him now days." He then sighed "I'm more worried about what he'll do to Flay once he find out she's dating me." He said. "It's no secret that he's a supporter of Blue Cosmos, and Flay was just like him before that night a few months ago. Worst case…he may actually disown her in my opinion."
"What does Flay think about it?" Jaden asked, and Adam smiled grimly "She doesn't care." He said. "All she wants it to be with me…I don't know if that's good or bad if that's what she thinks."
Jaden chuckled a bit "Well, if anything, it shows she's determined to stay by your side no matter what." He said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Flay's a great girl for ya buddy," he said "And regardless of what happens with her Daddy issue, I hope you two have a good life."
Adam smiled "Thanks, man." He said before the smile turned to a Grin. "So enough about me, what about you?" He asked, and Jaden blinked in confusion. "When the hell are you gonna ask Kira out on a date?"
Jaden blushed a bit and turned away "I told you before, Adam, It's not like that." He said, and Adam just rolled his eyes.
"Jaden your never gonna be with her if you don't tell her how you feel!" He said, but Jaden just shook his head.
"It's not like that, and you know it." He said. "You know Kira had that Friend back in that School she, Darknal and Nitsuki went too."
"Did she ever say he was her Boyfriend?" Adam asked, and Jaden stayed silent. "Jaden, one of these days, you gotta tell her how ya feel." He said. "You can't just keep bottling up your feelings like you are."
"I...I just want to see her happy." Jaden muttered. "Weather it's with me, or that Athrun guy she's always talking about." Adam just sighed "You're a lost cause, Jaden." He said before walking away, catching up with the others. Jaden sighed as he looked up to the 'sky' 'What would you do in my place Big Bro?' He thought, before shaking his head and running to catch up with the others.

"All charges set Athrun." A green haired, brown eyed teen around fifteen wearing a red ZAFT pilot uniform reported to another teen wearing the same uniform with blue hair, and green eyes..
"Right, thanks Nicol," Athrun said before turning to the rest of the pilots, 8 were wearing red pilot suits, while another dozen wore green pilot suits. "Alright, you know the drill everyone." He said. "We all grab out assigned Mobile Suits. Yzak, you take the Duel. Dearka you take the Buster, Nicole you take the Blitz, Rusty, you get the Strike, Serena you get the Ghost, while I get the Aegis. Matthew, if there are any extra machines here, you will try to either capture or destroy them."
"Sir, what if we fail to capture or destroy one of the machines, and they stay in the hands of the E.A?" Asked Serena Bleen, a beautify red-headed girl with green eyes.
"If that happens, we'll simply destroy it later." Athrun said before turning to Matthew, a 20 year old boy with Black hair and Orange eyes. "If there are any extra machines, you and the others try to capture one, and destroy any left behind." He said, and he nodded. "Got it Athrun." He said.

Vehicle Terminal

As Kira and her friends approached the Vehicle Terminal, Adam's mood brightened considerably seeing a pretty red-headed blue eyed girl standing there at the Terminal, wearing a pink long-sleeved dress. He slowly crept up behind her, and put his arms lovingly around her waist, eliciting a small gasp of shock. "Guess who?" He said into her ear.
"Hmm, could it be my boyfriend?" Flay replied, turning around to gaze into his blue orbs. "Mmm, I am good." She purred, reaching up to give him a passionate kiss, eliciting a squeal from her two friends.
Jaden groaned silently 'Ok, now he's just rubbing it in.' He thought as he shook his head.
Ryu smiled a bit seeing Adam and Flay together. 'It's amazing what a life-threatening moment can do to a couple of kids in a relationship.' He thought before he frowned, remembering his old Fiancé.
Ryu shook his head 'No, Not now.' He thought. 'I'm over her Death, I'm not gonna keep mopping around about it.' It was then Nitsuki shouted out "Hey! Alicia! What's up?"
Ryu and the others looked to see a 21 Year old Female wearing the standard White/Red Heliopolis Milita Uniform walk up to them. She stood at 5'6, and had brown hair arranged in a pair of Ponytails and brown eyes.
Alicia Melchiott smiled and waved to them "Hey Nitsuki!" she said. "What are you guys doing?"
"Kato's called us back to the Lab." Jaden groaned. "Just when we finish one thing, he throws something else at us to do."
"Why did I take that job offer," Ryu said groaning as well "all I thought it would be is giving advice to you guys every now and then, I think karma has it out for me."
Alicia giggled a bit. "Well, it could be worse." She said. "Command just called me and the rest of my Squad to base for some reason. Probably gonna end up being another drill again."
"Well, tell Susie we said hi, will ya?" Tolle said, and Alicia nodded as he hopped into the next Car.
"Do you want me to come along and help Adam?" Flay asked, batting her eyelashes at her boyfriend. "I need the extra hours in the lab anyway or else my grade will go down."
Adam grinned "Now how can I say no to a face like that?" He said. "Sure, besides we could use an extra set of arms."
Flay giggled and latched onto her lover's arm. "I think that's exactly what I'll do. Sorry girls, It seems our shopping trip will have to wait another day. I've got to spend some time with my boyfriend, toodles!" And they got on the transports to the Morgenroete Heliopolis branch, with Adam and Flay making out the entire way, and Jaden was grateful he was in a separate Car.
Once they reached the Lab, they were soon greeted by their friends Sai, and Kuzzey. "Hey guys!" Sai said in greeting "Glad you're here Kira Professor Kato needed some help on a new Operating System for a project he's on."
"What! But I'm still working on the stuff he dumped on me the last time!" Kira exclaimed "Why doesn't he dump some of this stuff on anyone else?"
"Well, its your own fault for being so damn good with Computers Kira." A new voice said, and they turned around to see a 17 Year old Boy walk in. He was about as tall as Jaden was at 5'7, with short brown hair and Purple eyes. He was wearing a pair of dull green Jeans, a green T-Shirt under a brown jacket.
"Shut up, Darknal." Kira growled, causing the others to laugh a bit. "Well, I'll try to help Kira." Jaden offered. "It's why I'm here after all."
Kira smiled "Why thank you Jaden, I appreciate that." She said, heading for one of the Computers missing the blush that appeared on Jaden's face as he moved to one of the others. It was then Ryu noticed the person in the corner leaning up against the wall. The person was wearing a large trench coat making it impossible to determine the gender, the large bucket hat the guest was wearing didn't help that much either, the only thing Ryu saw was a small tuft of blonde hair peeking out under the hat and light brown almost gold eyes that widened slightly when the person saw Ryu.
"Who is that Sai?" Kira asked the teen that was going over the work with her.
"No clue," the blonde admitted "Some friend of the professor's apparently. Anyway I'll help you out with this stuff." He said as the two of them sat down and began working.
"Ryu, can I talk to you for a moment?" Darknal asked, and Ryu nodded as he guided him just outside of the Room.
"Alright, I need to let you know that the Terminal Fleet is almost here." Darknal said. "Is your suit ready?" Ryu nodded "Ya, the Ignited is ready to launch, but what about you?" He asked, and Darknal grinned "Come on, you know me better." He said. "I got that suit all prepped up to launch months ago."
Ryu rolled his eyes a bit as he glanced back into the room "I wonder if we'll ever see these kids again…" He said, looking at Nitsuki. "I hate to leave them, but…"
"I know what you mean." Darknal said, sighing. "I was honestly surprised to see Kira and Nitsuki here again. Maybe once this is all over we can come back. I really like this place and all." He then grinned a bit "But what are you gonna do about Nitsuki?" He asked, "I know you have some 'feelings' for her." Ryu half glared at him before sighing and going back into the room, ignoring what Darknal had said.

Rau looked at his watch and smiled. It was time. By now, his infiltration team should already be done with the first phase of the plan. By his estimation, they should be heading towards what the data from the Intel report had indicated was the location of the Earth Forces new mobile suits.
"It's time," he told Ades, and sat back in his chair.
Ades nodded, before he began issuing orders. "Weigh anchor!" he snapped, arm outstretched. "Launch the ships! Have the mobile suits take off immediately!"
In the hanger bay of the Vesalius, the pilots of the Mobile Suits inside prepped their suits. "Alright, everyone." Miguel Aiman said. "We have them outnumbered, but the Heliopolis Militia have at least 5 Patriot-Series Mobile Suits at their Disposal, and not to mention The Hawk and Demon Lord of Endymion are present. So keep your eyes open for the Zero's Gunbarrels and the Mach Patriot's Speed."
"We got it, Miguel." Shiho Hahnenfuss said as she prepared her own CGUE DEEP arms. "We're not rookies ya know."
"I know, just be careful everyone." Miguel said. "Now let's do this! Miguel Aiman, GINN, Launching!"

"What about the Heliopolis Militia?" John asked.
"Deploying as we speek." The Captain said. "But their not prepared to take on veterans of Zaft. They won't last long, even in Mobile Suits."
Mu swore silently "We'll launch." He said. "Have Luke and Gail board their Moebius Units, but don't deploy them yet."

The members of Squad 7 nodded as they then turned to their respective Mobile Suits in the Hanger then turned too the only one who didn't move, a 23 year old young man with Brown hair and brown eyes. "What about me?" He asked.
"You launch too." Welkins said. "We're gonna need all the help we can get out there!" The man nodded as he moved towards a Grey/Orange trimmed Mach Patriot. Welkins himself quickly hopped into his own unit, a TMSF-082 Cavalier colored Blue with Red trimming.
He then turned on the Team Comm "Alright, I want Largo and Jann to focus on the ZAFT ships, try to keep their attention on you instead of the colony. Rosie, you take Edy and Marina with you, and guard the Colony with the Militia. Keep ZAFT from getting any Mobile Suits inside! If any make it in, god knows how much collateral damage that will cause. We need to force ZAFT to retreat! Everyone else, protect the fleet!"
The squad all replied 'Yes sir' as His Cavalier equipped the Aile Strike Pack and lined up with the Catapult. "Welkin Gunther, Cavalier Aile Pack, Launching!" He shouted as his suit took off.
"Largo Potter, Cavalier Launcher Pack, Taking off!"
"Rosie, Cavalier IWSP, Heading out!"

"Jann Walker, Cavalier Launcher Pack, moving out!"

"Yippie-ki-yay, Motha Fuckas!" One greencoat said, quoting a line from his favorite movie before hitting the detonator.
The bombs exploded, killing the captain, the senior officers, and the six chosen pilots of the G-Weapons. The effects of the bombs could be felt all over the colony. Lieutenant Junior Grade Murrue Ramius clung to the side of the truck containing one of the Earth Alliance's new mobile suits.

In the lab the teenager were working on the Exo-Frame suit when a rough tremor almost knocked them to their feet. Ryu made sure Nitsuki did'nt get hurt by using himself as a cushion, said action caused Nitsuki to blush just a bit. But Ryu didn't notice as his eyes widened, but narrowed as he glared at the ceiling.
"Ahh!" Flay cried as the explosion knocked her off her feet. Adam quickly helped his girlfriend up. "Thanks…what was that?"
"Was that a Meteoroid?" Tolle asked.
"No...It wasn't." Ryu said as he glanced at Darknal, who nodded. Ryu then opened a Safe underneath the desk and Pulled out a Scoped MP5, and a M1911 Colt .45 Pistol. Everyone's eyes widened at the sight of the guns "That was someone attacking the colony. Everyone is to make their way to a safety shelter stick together and do not separate from each other." He order as he pulled out several clips and a flak jacket. He tossed the Colt to Darknal followed by its clips of ammo.
"Why do you get the MP5?" Darknal asked, and Ryu just shrugged "I got it first." He said.
Ryu and Darknal then lead the kids out of the room, and into the hallways. When they opened the door to the stairwell, they saw Morgenroete employees going down the stairs. Sai then asked no one in particular.
"What's going on?"
"I dont know!" said one employee, it was then the second employee confirmed the two Terminal officers their suspicions.
"We're under attack by ZAFT! Some of their mobile suits have entered the Colony!" that information shocked the teenage students, and the eyes of Darknal and Ryu widened before narrowing. A glance between the two confirmed that they both knew what to do.
"H-Hey, wait!" Kira said, as the professor's guest took off down the hallway, and Kira, Nitsuki and Jaden ran after her.
"Kira!" Shouted Flay.
"Shit!" Both Darknal and Ryu muttered before giving chase "We'll go get them! The rest of you, get too the shelters!" Ryu shouted over his shoulder as he ran after them.
Adam then turned to Flay. "Flay, get too the shelters." He said to her. "I need to go with them."
"What?" Flay asked, shocked. "Adam, please don't-"
"Flay, I'll be alright, don't worry." He said with a grin as he ran off for the others.
Kira, Jaden and Nitsuki finally caught up to the girl as Ryu, Darknal and Adam came up behind him.
"Will you stop tailing me! I have to check up on something!" She snapped as she tried to get out of Kira's grip. It was then that Darknal said something that shocked both her and the others minus Ryu.
"Oh please, do you really want to try and get yourself killed? Lady Attha?" he said the last with an amused smile.
Cagalli looked like a deer caught in the headlights, while Kira and the others raised eyebrows in confusion. Before she could ask what he meant by that, an explosion made the wall and ceiling collapse, blocking their way back. The gust of wind that came from the explosion blew Cagalli's hat off and Kira's eyes widened as she found that it was a girl she was chasing. But what had the others shocked was the similarity she had to Nitsuki. But Adam, however, could only said one thing of the situation, and it was the wrong one.
"You're a girl?" Adam stated dumbly as he thought she was a guy.
"What the hell did you think I was?" The girl shouted as both Kira and Nitsuki glared at Adam who was looking very uncomfortable at the moment, while Jaden tried to contain his laughter, even in the situation they were in.
"Now is really not the time for that." Ryu growled as he walked forward "Thanks to Blondie there our original route is cut off," looking behind them the group saw that the passageway was indeed collapsed "This way, we'll go though the factory and go to the shelter there. This time stay close." He said directing the last part to the blonde who gulped.
"I suggest listening to him!" Jaden said. "He's pretty mean when he's aggravated."
Leading the way Ryu led them to the factory floor and unfortunately the only way had gunfire erupting from it. The teens ran down the corridor and when they finally reached the end of the tunnel they came upon a warzone. Earth Forces soldiers and ZAFT commandos were engaged in a gunfight as they fought over the metallic-titans sitting in their berths. Kira was awed and shocked at how streamlined and slender the mobile suits looked, even more streamlined than Terminal's Patriot Series.
Jaden, however, when he saw the Mobile suits, they felt...familiar. 'Where have I seen those suits before?' He thought.
"Hey, those are.." Adam began to say as Cagalli went on her knees feeling sad and betrayed.
"I knew it. The Earth Forces' new Mobile Weapons." and with a deep breath she screamed out, "FATHER I KNEW YOU BETRAYED US ALL!"
THAT, was probably the dumbest thing she did, as her scream caught the attention of Junior Lt. Murrue Ramius as she swung her rifle and pulled the trigger.
Ryu saw that her little blunder caught some unwanted attention and he tackled everyone to the ground as bullets hit the railing, missing them. Darknal was not happy at that!
"Are you trying to get us killed, Lady Attha! There's no time for that!" with that the two Terminal soldiers in disguise hoisted the two of them up and continued on to the shelters
Murrue Ramius was shocked to see it was actually a group of kids that set her off. She was thankful she missed and cursed herself for as a yelp from one of her men got her attention.
"Damn it! Hamana! Hurry! We need to get these machines out of here!" she screamed as her gun jammed and she resorted to her pistol.
Reaching the shelter Ryu hit the comm system "Open up we have several civilians that need an evac now!" he shouted over an explosion.
"There is no more room here, we can take one more however." The reply came back slightly fuzzy. Looking back Ryu was torn between who to throw into the elevator, he really wanted to secure Nitsuki's safety the most. Almost reading his thoughts Nitsuki grabbed Cagalli and shoved her into the elevator as she protested.
"We can go to the other side." Kira stated over the girls arguments "We know this place better than you do so we will be fine." Hitting the door control they watched the girl pound on the door in protest "C'mon let's double back." Kira said as Ryu took point.
As they crossed the walkway Kira happened to look down just as a ZAFT soldier started sneaking up on one of the mechanics "Watch out!" She shouted to the mechanic who reacted on instinct and turned and shot the soldier sneaking up at her.
"Jaden! Nitsuki! Kira! Ryu! Adam! Darknal! What are you doing here?" shouted Adam's aunt Jackie who was taking cover behind one of the mobile suits "Get down here now!"
Taking the chance, Kira, Nitsuki, Adam, and Jaden Jumped down below. Darknal was about to jump down there too until Ryu stopped him. "Darknal, they'll be fine." He said. "But we need to make sure Zaft doesn't get our machines."
Hesitantly, Darknal nodded as he and Ryu then ran away to where a Secret Hanger was.
Meanwhile with the others, Adam had just boarded a large and bulky Mobile suit while Kira and Nitsuki landed on the same suit where the Woman who almost shot them earlier was, just as she was shot.
The two girls instantly went to her side, just as a ZAFT Commando in a Red Flight suit came running at them with a knife in hand. The two girls looked up at the Man's face, and gasped.
"A-Athrun?" They both said, shocked.
"K-Kira? Nitsuki?" Athrun asked in shock seeing two of his old friends staring at him in shock, a sudden shot from the Mechanic forced him away from them as the mechanic tackled the two of them into the Cockpit "It couldn't be." Gritting his teeth he sprinted to the Aegis sending a final farewell to his partner Rusty who fell from a bullet and jumped into the cockpit and activated the G-weapon.
Finally, Jaden was the only one who hadn't managed to get into a mobile suit yet. There was still one left in the hanger, thankfully. Jaden was about to make a run for it, but then movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention. He turned to his right just in time to see two Morgenroete workers run away.
"Mom? Dad?" He asked, surprised to see them there. But his blood ran cold as he saw the ZAFT Red leading a few Green's follow them.
"Oh no..." He muttered as he ran towards them, grabbing a pistol from one of the dead corpses of Morgenroete workers.

Ryu and Darknal had just finished up suiting up in their flightsuits. Darknal's was Green with Purple trimming while Ryu's was Black with Green trimming.
"Come on, let's hurry!" Darknal said, and Ryu nodded as they exited the suit room and entered the hidden hanger where two Mobile Suits stood. Ryu and Darknal each boared one, and activated their suits. "Alright, let's hurry up and get out of here!" Ryu said as he strapped himself in. "We gotta help the others!"
"Don't need to tell me twise!" Darknal said. "Alright, Christopher Thake, Archer, Launching!"
Ryu grinned as his friend took off "Ryu Hisanaga, X-Ignited, Launching!"

Jaden ran through the hallways that his Parents and the ZAFT commando's went through.
He then reached a door at the end of the hallway. Jaden opened it, and he saw his parents fighting the Zaft soldiers. But what shocked him more was what was inside the room other than them, on either side of the room were two mobile suits, both of designs he have never seen before.
But the one on the left…it was oddly familure. He then approached his parents from behind, being careful not to be seen by Zaft. "Mom, Dad!" Jaden shouted. "Jaden?" His mother asked in shock. "What are you doing here?"
"Following you!" Jaden shouted. Then, his dad fell backwards, chest riddled with holes."DAD!" He shouted. He ran up to his side, but it was too late. He was dead. In anger, He grabbed his Pistol and held both it and the one he had earlier."You, BASTARDS!" He shouted, and fired the pistols. He then hit one of the Zaft soldiers that shot him. Jaden then took cover next to his mother. "…Jaden…" she said. "I know!" Jaden said. "I just killed someone. But we have to worry about that later!" But that's when it happened.
A zaft wearing a Red flight suit jumped forward, and shot his Mother. "Mom, no!" Jaden shouted, and ran to her side. He shook her, trying to wake her up. "Mom, MOM!" Jaden shouted. But to no avail. She lied there, dead. "….no." Jaden said silently. First my brother, now this? He thought.
At first, Jaden was sad, and tears filled his eyes. But then, he felt angry. And he got madder, and madder until he felt his entire body was consumed with Rage. He then stared at the Zaft soldier. He stood there, watching me. Fire reflecting from his Visor. "…I swear…" Jaden growled. "…I swear you will pay for what you did. Not the PLANT's, Not Zaft, you will pay." The Zaft soldier jumped back, and entered the cockpit of one of the mobile suits, and took off. For a minute there, Jaden just stood there.

"…Ja…Jaden." A weak voice said. he turned, it was his mother. "Mom!" He shouted, running to her side. "Please, don't talk! I'll get you outta here." "...no" she said. "Its…over…for me."
"Don't say that!" I pleaded. "I'll-" she cut me off. "Please…" she said. "Take…it..," she pointed at the other mobile suit. "Its…yours…its…your Gun…" she couldn't finish, her eyes closed, and her mussels relaxed.
"…mom." Jaden said. She was dead. He cried out in a massive shout of Sadness, Anger, and Sorrow. That's when he saw it. A bulge in her front pocket. Jaden reached in, and grabbed what it was. When he brought it out, more tears filled his eyes.
It was a model mobile suit. Head shaped angelically, a Golden V crest on its head, a White and Blue body, and the most fascinating feature, the set of white Angelic wings, and the Blue orb-like object as its center piece of the chest. She kept it. He thought, and he looked at the last mobile suit, it looked almost exactly like it, minus the angelic wings, replaced with a set of flight wings. It…looks almost identical. he thought, as he remembered.

"Mom, I finished it!" Jaden shouted, as he showed his custom-made mobile suit. "Oh, Jaden it looks wonderful!" My mother said. "What is it called?"
"Hmm," He thought. "…How about…Gundam."
"Gundam?" She said, trying the name out. "An interesting name."
"Sounds perfect." Jaden's brother said, packing his bags to leave for the PLANT's. "It sounds great. Mobile Suit Gundam."
Present
"I know what to do." Jaden said. He then hopped into the cockpit of the mobile suit. As it started up,

His eyes widened in shock before he smiled and looked at the mobile suit model he made 2 years ago. 'Mom.' He thought, tightening his grip. 'Dad…thanks you.' He then placed it down behind the seat.
'Now…I will fight!' He then activated the mobile suit. Its eyes shinned green, and its once dull grey armor changed to Red. Blue, and white. He then maxed the thrust, and stormed out of the room at full speed.
