-PHASE 02- Lunar Astray

The building collapsed and smoke was everywhere. The GINNs out of ammo stood outside waiting for a response. Two GINNs moved forward to check the remains

Two consecutive beam shots were fired from the smoke and blew the GINNs' head off. The other GINNs move backward from the building, but not fast enough.

More consecutive beam shots were fired and destroyed all the GINNs.

The Nazca ship lost all signals of their GINN units and so attacked the colony with its duel 120mm high-energy beam canons.

The ground started to shake and the sky started to split apart. Akira stepped out of the smoke and began to fly out of the colony.

The Nazca ship fired again finally destroying the colony. As it collapsed, Akira noticed the Tempest Sword was stabbed to the ground, he picked it up and flown out of the colony.

The Nazca ship's radar picked up an unknown mobile suit, it was Akira's. The captain ordered to capture the unknown unit by all means.

On Earth, disturbed by the news of the destruction of the new colony, ORB's leader, Cagali Yula Athla ordered mobile suits immediately to go to space. As M1 Astrays launch to space, 10 mobile suits were sent out from the Nazca ship.

Detection of 10 units of the same heat signature is advancing toward Akira. Heat signatures recognized the units as Gouf Ignited.

The Gouf split into two divisions surrounding Akira. A bright light shined on Akira's unit and a silvery coating is revealed causing the mechanism to absorb and reflect the light and turned it into a special kind of energy to utilize the mobile suit's full potential. The unit's eyes turn from dark green to bright orange. The light was from the moon and the unit's appearance resembles of the M1 Astrays, however this unit has a silver frame. The Goufs pulled out Tempest Swords and grappled the Astray's arms and legs with heat rods.

Akira is trapped and the unit won't move. The Goufs charged at Akira altogether and at the moment when they positioned to stab Akira, there was a wave of force field disrupting the Goufs' control and they cease all movements, their heat rods became useless and loosen the grip on Akira. From this point, Akira named this unit the Lunar Astray. He activated the Tempest Sword he took and did a 360 degree spin and sliced all the Gouf's head afterward he went toward the Nazca ship and started to attack. He fired 10 shots at the ship, aiming for the canons however the beam was blocked.

The M1 Astrays from ORB has arrived and blocked the shots. Cagali was in awe seeing the Lunar Astray, with its glowing silvery frame. The Nazca ship called out to the M1 Astrays and told them that the Lunar Astray was the one who destroyed the colony; it must be destroyed here and now.

However Akira received the message as well.

"That's not true!" Shouted Akira

"What?! How could he hear this?" Said the commander of the Nazca ship

"Answer me! How can one mobile suit destroy a colony when you are outside ZAFT!"

The M1 Astrays didn't know what to do, idling in space between ZAFT forces and an unknown mobile suit that looked similar to them.

The noise woke up the girl in Lunar Astray's cockpit.

She took a glance of the situation and saw the light flashing of the emergency line, she pressed and holds the button and said.

"I am Sayu, the leader of the alliance, Generation Freedom of Eternal Rest, also known as the GFER. I am inside of this boy's mobile suit and request all forces to return to their original places. If anyone disregards this message, this boy will kill you as he is my bodyguard and the Guardian!"

A new alliance is made to process orders made to the world. The Generation Freedom of Eternal Rest has the most power in all alliances, ZAFT, ORB and even Earth Alliance follows all direct orders from GFER.

The ZAFT and ORB forces stood motionless, in shock that the leader is in this mobile suit. Cagali, having no choice, ordered the M1 Astrays to return back to ORB.

The ZAFT units returned to the ship.

Akira, looked beside and the girl was there smiling at him.

"Let's go back to ORB Akira." Said Sayu

"Who exactly are you?"

"Like I've said, I am Sayu, the leader of GFER and you will be my personal bodyguard since you've shown your skill in piloting this incomplete machine. The Lunar Astray."

"You mean you were pretending to sleep the whole time?!"

"Yes, I saw you completing this machine's OS and destroyed three Goufs with one slash. It takes skills to do that."

"…What if I don't agree to become your bodyguard?"

"You have no choice Akira. You are my Guardian now."

"Guardian? What is that?"

"I'll tell you the details later when we go back to ORB, but a Guardian is someone very skilled in piloting the most powerful mobile suit in an Alliance, since we have only built this machine, you're the only pilot for it."

Akira followed the other Astrays in returning to ORB. The ZAFT forces had to postpone in destroying Akira, however they have accomplished what they intended to do, destroying the colony. Now a new mobile suit is revealed, and it's technology is truly menacing.
