Ch 3 – The Red Hordes

Military Meeting Hall, Celestial Pillar – Internationale, Indian-Chinese Federation

Within Maritime Southeast Asia under the rule of the Indian-Chinese Federation, there was a state known as the Greater Bruneian Socialist Republic. It was the successor state of the Sultanate of Brunei after the Borneo Revolution which also overran both East Malaysia and Indonesian Kalimantan. Currently, it existed as an important piece of the Federation, housing the Orbital Spire for the Asian superstate known as the Celestial Pillar – Internationale.

As the Orbital Spires possessed a control over weapons storage by the United Nations, it was a perfect location to hold top-secret meetings…as was the current situation. A large group of the Federation's military personnel were gathering up within the Internationale.

Inside a Board Room rented out to several peoples, the many military officers and other members of Engineering Corps had assembled there. Li Xingke, Rakshata and Smirnov were inspecting on the people in attendance. The last group to enter ended up with a Chinese female in the deep green military regalia and marched in front of Xingke.

"Colonel Li, I have confirmed that our strength is at 100%," she reported.

"Good job Zhou Xianglin," Xingke replied, "Sergei; we can proceed with the business at hand."

Then, Sergei stepped onto the stage and grabbed the mic.

"Fellow comrades-in-arms throughout the Federation, I am thankful for you heeding the call of the Motherland to this very spot. I believe you had heard of the news regarding this Celestial Being organisation…"

Once he said that, the various soldiers started to engage in their own statements about it.

"Be at ease, my comrades. I know that they had saved our Federation from greatest disgrace by defeating the terrorists, but our collective might could have wrought the same, if not better, results. And we should consider the picture in Tamil Eelam Socialist Republic, where they had also attacked our forces. It is clear that Celestial Being is not our friend."

"So, we are supposed to eliminate this threat," an ICF soldier said.

"True, but we have another equally important task to this. The Mobile Suits used by Celestial Being, known as the Gundam series. They are proven to be extremely powerful and advanced, even beyond that of the militarily advanced World Imperium. If we are able to acquire these Gundams, we can reform the world as per the will in which Great Marx had laid for us. All hail the World Revolution!"

As Sergei raised his left fist into the air, he was followed with that from his any other comrades with similar cries echoing the Room.

Outside the Board Room, there was a Chinese man in janitorial clothing and a mop with him. He had a hearing device over the wall, effectively hearing the entire conversation. He then placed a small mic towards his mouth.

"Liumei, have you heard all that?" he asked.

On the other end, it was Wang Liumei sipping a cup of tea in a terrace in her villa in Shandong. A radio set was placed near her.

"I most certainly did, Hong Long," she replied, "I will send this recording to Celestial Being on Line Omega."

Jungle Regions, World Imperium-Commonwealth of Greater Zimbabwe Border

The former Zimbabwe was a nation plagued by corruptions still to this day, where it was under the rule of yet another tyrant. However, this tyrant, entitled as "Lord Protector", managed to maintain his power via Mobile Suits purchased from the Indian-Chinese Federation and established the Commonwealth of Greater Zimbabwe.

The Commonwealth of Greater Zimbabwe maintained a small empire of sorts in Southern Africa and came into conflict with the Imperium seeking its fortunes there with the Cape Province. Therefore, minor territorial scuffles were common along the borders, as was then. However, a third party was involved…Celestial Being.

Currently, the Kyrios and Exia were dealing with the fights. Pitting against them, it was the Centurions from the Imperium and the Anf used by Greater Zimbabwe. The Anf was a Mobile Suit formerly used by the Indian-Chinese Federation, under the name of Fanton. However, they quickly defected with the invention of the Tieren series. In the end, they were sold to various external parties. They were plated with cheap and rusting metals with a gun turret beyond its "chin". The pilot could see via a virtual reality helmet, the standard of the Federation's Mobile Suits.

With the current tide of battle, it would seem that Celestial Being was overwhelming both opposing forces. The Exia was all set on the ground and slashed an incoming Anf into half. Then, a Centurion prepared to charge at Exia with his lance from behind. But then, the missile barrage from the Kyrios blew it up first. The Kyrios then flew straight towards another Centurion and its pincers opened up. It then crushed the Centurion at its waist.

"These fools…I could deal with them easily…" a voice said, "just let me have a go…"

"No…I can handle them…" Allelujah said, "Activate Transformation, to Mobile Suit Mode!"

Suddenly, his Kyrios changed from his fighter plane form and assumed a more humanoid appearance. It quickly launched off a barrage of missiles at all directions, blowing up most of the remaining Centurions. The surviving Centurions and Anf simply retreated back in their defeat.

"Ok, this battle was nothing," Setsuna remarked.

Suddenly, Lelouch's face appeared on the screens of both active Meisters.

"Indeed it is, my comrades," Lelouch said, "but we have another situation at hand. Return on board St. Cuthbert, it is now above your positions."

Back on board the St. Cuthbert, both Setsuna and Allelujah had assembled in the control brig with the other Meisters and other personnel.

"Great, both of you are here on time," Lelouch said, "and now, I shall begin. Wang Liumei has sent us an encoded message on the Line Omega where we Celestial Being keep tabs on our informants."

"And what does it say?" a pink haired-girl asked.

"Patience, Feldt Grace," Lelouch said, "Apparently the Indian-Chinese Federation is not pleased with our interventions and they seek to capture us and the Gundams we use."

"Guess they're still sore about the thing in Tamil Eelam," Lockon suggested.

"But do we have any idea on where they would strike," Ian said, "after all, they do not really know of our ship."

"But they can forge a commotion out in their own territory," Jeremiah said, "and then it can lay out the trap."

"But Zero, do we have any idea on where they are aiming to use?" Kallen asked.

"Unfortunately, Wang Liumei claims that the meeting did not include this detail," Lelouch said.

"So we have to wait for them," Jeremiah said.

"So it would seem…but when we have a situation regarding the Federation, we must be careful," he said, "Meeting dismissed."

ICF Research Base, Mountain Range, Trans-Himalayan Socialist Republic, ICF

The Trans-Himalayan Socialist Republic was a Socialist Republic within the Himalayan Mountains and forged from the former regions of Bhutan, Nepal, Kashmir and Tibet. It was ruled by a nominally weaker government, and corruption and various warring armed tribes were common there.

Despite the conditions there, this desolated region served as a perfect platform for the much secretive experimentation that avoided the public eye. Hidden by the snowstorms and rough terrain, there was one of the most secretive Research Bases under the ICF, one that conducted experiments that would have shunned the Federation from the world.

Currently, Rakshata was guiding Xingke and Smirnov around the Base. They were inside a corridor with many shut gates stating "Keep Out".

"Rakshata, I have heard that this Base had conducted various deadly unethical experiments," Xingke said, "but what could they be?"

"I can tell you that you should not know…" the Indian scientist said.

She stopped behind a large door marked "Keep Out" and placed her hand over a scanner. A small device came out and then scanned Rakshata's eye. The next device that came out was a small syringe that injected a sample of her blood from her arm.

"Identification Locks 1-2-3 Completed; Results Clear. Welcome, Rakshata Chawla."

And the door slid open and they all went inside. It was a dark laboratory lit only by a few lights. A tall aged man of Korean descent stood there. He donned a green undershirt with a standard white lab coat, and a visor covered his eyes.

"Kim," Rakshata said, "I believe you had received the news from the Chairman."

"Indeed, I am most proud that I am finally able to unveil my research at long last," Kim cried and laughed.

"Pardon, but what research it is really?" Xingke asked.

Kim tapped a small incom on his coat.

"This is Kim," he said, "bring her in now."

Suddenly, a hole from a containment unit opened up and a figure came out. It was a female of apparent Russian-Chinese lineage, and had white hair done in a bun. She wore the ICF military clothes and cuffs tied her to the unit.

"Perhaps you would recall the Super-Soldier Project…" Kim said.

"But I thought they were decommissioned when word of it was leaked to E.U. and the United Nations," Sergei said.

"By your defected son nonetheless," Kim said, "however, the Chairman was not the least bit ready to simply quit the project after all that expenses wasted. But I have my results, right here."

"Worry not, I will discipline my son the next time we clashed," Sergei said, "But she…she's just a child…"

"I need to perfectly condition the Super-Soldiers and finetune their emotions and maximise all battle capacity," Kim explained, "as such, a child is the best option I have. But for the sake of gaining more power against the capitalists, a small sacrifice like that is nothing compared to the results reaped."

He then turned to the unit and turned on a switch.

"Now she can hear our conversation and she can speak to us," Kim explained, "Super-Soldier, identify yourself."

"Super-Soldier No. 997 Soma Peries," she said loud and clear.

"So you had tried over 900 times on this," Rakshata said, "I remembered those last batch that you were forced to surrender after the world found out."

"Yah…I remember those brats…and especially Haptism…Allelujah Haptism…" Kim said, "If only I can just work on him some more, he could truly be the Ultimate Super-Soldier…"

Orbital Ship St. Cuthbert, Atmosphere of Earth

Meanwhile, high above the null vast space surrounding the Earh, Allelujah sat alone in his room facing a window and with a cup of wine in his hands. Suddenly, he let out a sneeze.

"Hmm…someone must have mentioned me," he said, as he continued to look down at the world.

Suddenly, his mirror image on the window changed; the bangs shifted to the other side of his face and his face overall assumed a more malicious look to it.

"Allelujah, if you had allowed me to take hold back then…I can guarantee you there would be no more problems in that region…" he said.

"Hallelujah, I cannot allow you to simply destroy everything like that," Allelujah protested.

"You're becoming too soft…" Hallelujah said, "but then again, I heard that the Federation is trying to get us Celestial Being. You know, it will only be a matter of time before they knows the truth…"

"And I intend to keep it a secret no matter what," Allelujah said.

"You fool, what would be the chances that someone in the Federation realises of your existence," Hallelujah cried, "We should be destroying them first!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Allelujah peered through to find Lelouch.

"Hey…Allelujah," Lelouch said, "you ok? I heard voices in there."

"Yah…I'm alright in here. Don't need to worry," he responded.

"Is it Hallelujah again?" he wondered.

"Yah…he's getting harder to control," Allelujah said.

"Perhaps you are doing it all wrong," Lelouch said, "you should not simply restrain Hallelujah, but instead try to balance yourself and him in combat. After all, I believe you two can only accomplish the best."

"And that was why my whole life got torn apart," Allelujah said, "and now, please let me go."

He went back inside and gulped down the wine, and then the entire bottle soon after.

It had been 5 days since the meeting in Celestial Pillar – Internationale and things had been relatively peaceful, other than some Islamist-incited riot in Turkey. However, peace was only a fragile thing that could be broke easily as another crisis struck.

"Ok guys and ladies, we finally have another task at hand," Lelouch said, "C2 will debrief all of us about the details."

Suddenly, the hologram of the female appeared before them. She was followed by a visual of a map depicting Mongolia.

"That place…its ICF territory…" Allelujah grasped.

"Yes indeed, it is the Mongol Socialist Republic to be precise," C2 addressed, "this is where a military exercise will begin there, right in the deserts."

"And why must we intervene on this too?" Feldt asked.

"Glad you asked that," C2 said, "there were rumours that the Federation was ready to unveil its latest Tieren model Mobile Suits for a little test run."

"Hmm…unlike the flashy Imperium who preferred to show their prowess to the world, the Federation is more modest in these affairs," Jeremiah said, "also given that we already knew of their motives, this could be just an elaborate trap for us."

"This strategy of deceit, it is not only a mere common fight… it is a war of wits," Lelouch said, "but we must still fulfil our mission. All forces to proceed to the coordinates and head to Mongol Socialist Republic. The engaging combatants this time would be every Gundam Meister this time."

Ulaan Base, Steppes Region, Mongol Socialist Republic, ICF

The Mongol Socialist Republic was a communist state revitalised by China and ruled as part of Chinese territory, with a historical denomination of Mongols as being part of the Chinese Community. This current state controlled both Outer and Inner Mongolia, effectively unifying the two Mongolia. Due to its low population density, it was suitable as an exile region and military bases.

Amongst those military bases, one of the more secured ones was the Ulaan Base within the Mongol Steppes. Xingke looked over the region from the Control Room.

"Colonel, our radar has detected about 4 Mobile Suits heading to the Base," one technician said.

"We have identified these units to emit energy signatures similar to that of the Gundams," another technician said.

"It would seem that the web had caught the fly," he said.

"But nonetheless, we are really unveiling a new Tieren," Rakshata said, "this project was originally commissioned by Kim himself, as the Ultimate Mobile Suit befitting a Super-Soldier such as you… Soma Peries…"

She then turned to a just-opened door, in which both Peries and Smirnov walked out.

"I had shown her the Machine…and she is quite breath-taken by it," Sergei said, "and I am glad our engineers' revolutionary technology in the Tieren series."

"Vice-Colonel Zhou Xianglin, we will be engaged into battle with Celestial Being," Xingke said, "As my second-in-command, please watch over the command for me."

"And I will guide you if I am needed to," Sergei said, "may we be victorious in this bout."

"Let us go, Soma Peries," Xingke said as the door opened up again.

"To all active soldiers, enemy forces have been identified as hostile," Xianglin said, "proceed to attack them at once."

Outside the Ulaan Base, hundreds of Tierens Ground Type was patrolling the Steppes under the midday sun. These Tierens were designed purely for ground combat and main Mobile Suits used by the ICF. However, they were nothing more similar to common bipedal tanks armed with similar gun turrets mounted and operated with virtual reality helmets. In light of the more advanced models of both the Imperium and E.U., it was common for any ICF Commander to deploy hundreds at any event since they were cheap to produce with the many resources found in ICF territories.

Suddenly, all of these Tierens responded and aimed their cannons at the incoming Gundams. Without warning, they began to open fierce fire upon them. The battle that was to ensure had already begun…

"Mission start…" Zero cried, "GN Sextuple Cannons!"

"Fire, GN Missiles!" cried Allelujah.

Suddenly, the Celestica began to counter the barrage with 6 laser blasts form its cannons straight at the first wave of Tierens and blew them up. The Kyrios also launched its missiles at the same first wave and completely devastated the first wave. However, there was another group of Tierens ready to fire again.

"Hmm…there are 4 of them here, but I am told there are five," Xianglin said, "so where could that be?"

"The Tieren series, they may be weaker than most other Mobile Suits…however their strength lies on numbers and that can allow the ICF Military to overwhelm opponents in most engagements," Zero said, "so we must quickly eliminate its numbers. Lockon, now!"

From a distance away from the battle, Dynames was stationed near the St. Cuthbert. Lockon was poised to begin his attack, and aimed carefully.

"Roger that," he replied, "thank God for this Dynames and his long-distance firing range capability."

Suddenly, the Dynames fired a laser blast… one that reached out and destroyed another Tieren. It was followed repeatedly and more Tierens fell.

"General Sergei, our Ground Types are running low," Xianglin said, "shall we proceed to unveil them?"

"No, these Gundams make clear use of energy-based weapons and they must be neutralised first," Sergei said, "send out the second wave however, I want the High Mobility Types and the Antiaircraft Types ready. Once they are weakened, they will be at our mercy."

Suddenly, more doors on the gates opened up and new Tierens came out. The Tieren High Mobility Type was a specific Tieren designed with better speed and flight capabilities, able to catch up with other nations' advanced Mobile Suits. Where else, the Tieren Antiaircraft Type was similar to its Ground Type counterparts, other than the emphasis on destroying airborne targets.

The Antiaircraft Type fired a quick barrage at the Gundams, but Michael and Exia quickly did away with 2 of them. With that, they landed on the ground to engage with the remaining Ground Types.

The High Mobility Types flapped out their wings from their backs and flew off to the air, able to fight with the Gundams on air. However, some of them were shot down by Dynames' sharpshooting prowess. Another one was snapped into half by the Kyrios' pincer claw.

All this while, Lelouch had thought about the situation at hand.

"This plan is typical of the ICF, but it seems too easy…" he considered, "is this a trap?"

"It would seem that Celestial Being is indeed no pushover or weakling," Rakshata remarked.

"Yes…Vice-Colonel Xianglin, I believe the time is right for us to unleash the Disturbers and followed by our latest Tierens," Sergei said.

"You heard the General, activate the Disturbers now!" she declared.

Suddenly, the ground shook and 4 massive pillars rose from the sandy ground, surrounding a wide perimeter around Ulaan Base. These pillars were tipped with a glowing green force field that shined brightly and it appeared that they were sealed inside its domain.

"What…what is that?" another technician from the St. Cuthbert exclaimed.

"Christina, I believe I may know what that could be…" Ian said, staring at the scene, "but I can't believe it is actually possible…Rakshata…"

"The Gefjun Disturber, one of my most crowning achievements ever," Rakshata proclaimed, "these babies can weaken the effectiveness of all energy-based weapons by 60%, now they can only scratch our machines."

"Leaving our remaining Tierens and the two latest oens to deal with the Gundams," Sergei said, "we can now let them have a spin…"

"What on Earth is this?" Zero wondered.

Suddenly, Ian's face came up on the screen.

"Lelou…I mean Zero, I think I know what this could be," he said, "this here is a Gefjun Disturber, a device that's able to neutralise all energy-based weaponry by 60%. I remembered these things from the days when I was in Berlin International University of Science, from a certain individual I met there…"

"So we can't use energy-based weapons…what else can go wrong now?" Zero cried.

However, the gates opened once more for new Tierens to come through. The first one was similar to the Ground Type, but that it was plated in pink instead and had more weapons. The second one was in deep blue, and shared appearance with the High Mobility Type, only more armed in weapons. It had claw-like limbs, able to shred heavy metal.

"I have to ask…" he said.

Both Soma Peries and Li Xingke sat inside the cockpits of the two new machines. However, it was not powered by virtual reality, but instead a holographic surround monitor on the cockpit itself.

"This Tieren Shenhu, let's see what it can do," Xingke said.

Suddenly, the blue Tieren unfolded its wings and flew off. It quickly fired off rope darts from its hands and they gripped onto the Exia and sent it to collide with Michael.

"Tieren Taozi, ready to sortie!" Peries cried and the pink model rushed off to the steppes for battle.

Suddenly, the Tieren Taozi fired a shot from its cannon turrets and it barely hit the Kyrios' wing. However, that blast had nearly grounded the Kyrios and sent it towards a crash…something that Allelujah sought to control.

"Arg…I can't…" Allelujah cried, "Ahh! My head…it hurts!"

He then looked to a window to his right, and saw Hallelujah there who was grinning at him.

"Allelujah, you look like you need help," he said, "come on; give me the steering wheel…"

"No way, I won't let you…" Allelujah cried.

"Look at your current position for God's sakes!" Hallelujah cried, "You are so close to death. Do you wish to die just yet? Let me take control and we shall live on…"

Allelujah simply closed his eyes and let his head down. Suddenly, his bangs switched to the other side and his face bore a malicious look to it.

Meanwhile, as Allelujah struggled between piloting the Kyrios, a headache and an alter ego's demands, a similar pain struck Soma Peries' head.

"Damn it...my head…" Peries exclaimed, "It feels painful, so much pain…"

She then pressed a switch by accident and it accidentally hit the Celestica. The Celestica returned fire, but the Gefjun Disturber forced that blast to only scratch the Tieren slightly. And then, Tieren Taozi aimed fire at a tower of the Ulaan Base.

"Peries, can you copy?" Xianglin called, "is everything alright?"

"No…arg…"she responded, "My head…it pains…"

"I think we should step down for now," Rakshata suggested, "I will get Kim back to check up on her. Must be some bugs in her system."

"Colonel Li, please retrieve Lt. Peries," Sergei ordered, "abandon Mission."

"But we are so close to our goal…" Xingke protested, "We can't give up just yet…"

Suddenly, the Kyrios changed to its Mobile Suit Mode and landed safely on the ground. He then quickly fired from its twin shooters at the Tieren Army mercilessly, despite the futile use of it.

"Hallelujah has risen at last…" Zero said, "Queen-1, Setsuna, destroy the pillars!"

Kallen had quickly crushed another Tieren under her Radiation Wave, while Setsuna plunged its GN Blade into another one. Suddenly, both of them took quick action. Michael quickly tried to grab one of the Gefjun Pillars with its claw-arm, but the rope darts from the Tieren Shenhu stopped it.

"I won't let you destroy the Pillars," Xingke cried.

However, he was quickly distracted by the blasts from the Tieren Taozi. With a slash of Exia's GN Blade, the rope was cut off and the Michael quickly grabbed hold of the Disturber and the radiation destroyed it altogether. This caused a hole within the Gefjun Disturbance Field.

"Oh no you don't!" yelled Xingke.

The Tieren Shenhu clashed right into Exia and punched it with its claw-like arms. Suddenly, a cannon turret armament in its arms opened up and aimed at blank-point.

"Oh no…I'm gonna to…" Lockon said, taking aim on his Gundam.

However, a bullet shot hit one of the Tieren Shenhu's wings. As it was seen, a second Gefjun Pillar was destroyed, apparently by gunfire of the Tieren Taozi. It was continuing on its ballistic rampage, destroying everyone blindly.

"Colonel Li, as your superior, I command you to retreat now!" Sergei cried, "any resistance to the order counts as a crime of treason to the state."

"Arg…roger that," he relented.

His Tieren Shenhu then flew towards the Tieren Taozi and it bound it using its rope darts. However, the Tieren Shenhu was grounded by then and had to drag its comrade back by foot. Meanwhile, all the other Tieren received word of retreat and marched back to the Ulaan Base.

"Our mission…just retreat," Zero said.

However, the Kyrios was still driven to destroy the already-retreating Tierens with continuous firing that was actually dangerous without the Gefjun Disturber.

"Allelujah, please respond! The mission's over," Zero shouted.

"Zero, is it?" a menacing voice spoke, "Allelujah is gone and I am in command of him. And the mission's not over…not until I finish every last one of them…"

"So you're Hallelujah," Zero said.

"Bingo, and I'm gonna do what me and many desired…the fall of war and injustice. And I judge them…guilty!" the voice cried.

"It would seem I have to resort to this," Zero said.

He then keyed in several commands on his dashboards and a sign saying "Seraphim Mode Activate" appeared on screen. Suddenly, the cockpit wall behind him slid open and his chair went inside.

On the outside, the Celestica remained immobile. Suddenly, parts of its back glowed and it ejected out. That portion then sprouted out limbs and a smaller head. The chest region had the form of a Gundam head with its eyes only.

"I never thought that I must use it at this point," Zero said, "behold…the secret Gundam, Gundam Seraphim! Activate Trial Cross – Field of Judgment!"

Suddenly, the entire Gundam Seraphim glowed brightly as the Gundam spread itself out like the Christian Cross. The attacking Kyrios suddenly went into auto shut-down and laid down. And then, Gundam Seraphim stopped glowing.

"Damn it…this sucks big-time…" Hallelujah cried, "Well…Allelujah, guess it's back to you."

"Queen-1, Setsuna, take Allelujah back to St. Cuthbert," Zero said.

With that, both the Michael and Exia carried off the Kyrios with one on its shoulders. Gundam Seraphim also left the scene too, while the hollow shell of Celestica was left behind.

"Hmm…at least we still won something in the end," Sergei remarked.

"And I won't let you get our secret," Zero said, pressing a switch.

However, the hollow Celestica suddenly flew off with the other Gundams as well.

"There goes our only clue to get the Gundams' technology," Rakshata commented.

"But in this bout, we had gained much more…knowledge," Sergei said, "I had been witnessing the Transformable Mobile Suit in action, and it seems he was not in full control when Soma Peries appears to the Field. Why is that so?"

"Perhaps I can bring that point to Kim," the Indian scientist said, "He may know something."

"But the real problem now lies on explaining this to the Chairman," Xianglin said, 'I don't want to really do the paperwork."

"Do not worry, I shall do it myself," Sergei said, "and make other measures against this incident."

Orbital Ship St. Cuthbert, ICF Air-Space

Within the air-space of the ICF over the Uyghur Islamic Socialist Republic in the former North-western China, the St. Cuthbert flew over the region. Allelujah was resting in his room on bad, while Lelouch and Jeremiah tended to him.

"So…I finally let Hallelujah take over for once," Allelujah said.

"Now I can see why you were so reluctant to," Jeremiah said.

"You see, Hallelujah is something driven only by instincts," Allelujah explained, "he can only take dominance under my choice or when I'm overwhelmed by fear…the fear of dying."

"You mean, when the Tierens almost had you defeated," Lelouch said.

"Yup, but even I must admit that Hallelujah is a natural on the battlefield. But the only flaw is that he has no concern for allies, quality of mercy or strategy," Allelujah admitted, "but what was that Gundam there that stopped Hallelujah?"

"Gundam Seraphim, a special Gundam designed within the Celestica," Lelouch said, "it is a special system known as Trial Cross – Field of Judgment. It can allow me to hack into systems and control them via remote, like how I did to Kyrios and Celestica."

"That's some powerful ability, but why not use it more often," Allelujah said.

"There's a limit to how I can do it, not to mention that it is quite unethical of me to win through such a cheap way," Lelouch said, "but for now, rest well and you are temporary relieved of Celestial Being duties. You can return to Earth if you wish, but you must be ready for sortie any moment."

"Don't worry, that's what I was built for…" Allelujah said, "Some people grew up to be like their parents, but me…I was to become a weapon…"

Central Hemicycle, Brussels, E.U.

About the same time as that, another serious discussion was in procession. The Central Hemicycle served as the Parliament for all of Euro Universe and the Bureau of African Affairs. During that time, a meeting was set by several members of the E.U.

Colonel Bismarck Waldstein stood in the centre of the vast circular room with the various Ministers and leaders of member states.

"And so I have concluded that the Gundams do possess incredible military capacity, exceeding that of our E.U.," Bismarck reported.

"Thank you, Colonel Waldstein," the German Chancellor said, "I believe we had heard enough of this Celestial Being and it is clear that they may pose a threat to us sooner or later."

"Indeed, may I reiterate of the recent Islamist riots in my homeland of Turkey," the Turkish President said, "Celestial Being was found to be shooting even our forces."

"And our supported forces in the former Ireland have failed in their task to restore freedom to the Irish people due to them Celestial Being," the Italian Prime Minister cried.

"It would seem that although Celestial Being had not caused any major interventions in our territory other than Turkey, they already posed such damage to our Union," the Russian President proclaimed, "we must be strike them before they threat the very Union our forefathers had sought to build!"

"And may I suggest a concrete plan to it?" said Schneizal el Iberia, the Prime Minister of Spain, "all member states are to chip to this project, be it manpower, equipment, intelligence, finance or others. But we must assemble a special unit to counter this Celestial Being?"

"And we of the Federal Republic of Germany nominate Colonel Bismarck Waldstein to take charge of this team," the German Chancellor declared.

"Very well, Colonel Waldstein shall take charge of this operation," Prime Minister Schneizal said.
