Today we are to witness a historic battle

It's Gundam Strike and Exia vs Gundam's Buster, Duel, Blitz and Aegis!

So without further ado I don't own G Gundam I shall say again but

LET'S GET THINGS STARTED!

GUNDAM FIGHT ALL SET!

READY, GOOO!

Year 71 of the Cosmic Era, Earths fossil fuels have been depleted. Humanity has devoted itself to a new energy resource, solar electricity. At the end of a half century long project, a solar electricity generator was built, centered around 3 orbital elevators 50,000 kilometers in length. For the construction of these colossal structures which produce near infinite amount of energy, the world separated itself into groups of nations: The Earth Union Alliance which is centralized around the Americas who go against anything Coordinator, The Human Reformation League or HRL centered around Russia, China and India, The Orb Union a neutral state centered around the Onogoro Island. The Advanced European Union or AEU. And the Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty also known as ZAFT which is located in the space colonies called PLANTS.

Yes, even almost seventy years beyond the Common Era, humanity is still unable to live together as one.

There are those that have appeared to drive a wedge into such a world, a private armed organization that possesses mobile suits known as Gundams, Celestial Being. They, for the sake of removing conflict from humanity once and for all, are putting into action their campaign that transcends race, nationality, class, ideology and religion. However they are not they only ones who are trying to change the world, Setsuna F. Seiei, Kira Yamato and everyone aboard the Earth Alliance battleship Archangel will also change the world from its distorted ways. Both will be the wind that brings true change to this world…

Phase Four: The Gundam's Fight, S

Archangel's Hangar

As the civilians on board Lifeboat disembarked one by one, Setsuna came out of the Exia in time to see a familiar Red-Haired Girl as she exited the pod. Setsuna decided to ignore her and started to float towards the ground and head for the exit. The girl saw Setsuna head for the exit and her eyes widen knowing who he was.

"It's you!" She called out to him, "you're Sai's friend, Setsuna F. Seiei!" She jumped out of the pod and flew to Setsuna who stopped and decided to wait much to his annoyance.

"Flay Allster." Setsuna spoke as the girl wrapped her arms around his torso. He stiffed from her touching him because he did not like people doing that since Krugis but decided to ignore it. "So you were on this boat as well."

"Hey, what happened to Heliopolis?" She asks him with a distressed tone, "What happened there? What's going on?"

Setsuna just kept staring at her waiting for her to calm down.(If you don't believe he would do that he did Gundam 00 Season 2 Episode 1 When Saji had him at gun point)

"I…I… I got separated from Jessica and Misha from a store in Florence and I ran to a shelter alone and then…!" She trailed off from her train of thought. "this is a ZAFT, right? What's going to happen to us? What are you doing here, anyway?"

"This ship belongs to the Earth Alliance." Setsuna corrected her.

"You're lying!" She denied, turning towards the Exia and the now landing Strike, "There's Mobile Suits on-board!"

"The Earth Alliance has Mobile Suits as well." He clarified, she regarded him with a confused expression.

"Sai Argyle and Miriallia Haw are here as well. You'll be fine."

Vessalius and Gamow

"Who would've expected this?" Fredrik muttered before he adressed Le Creuset, "What will you do? The Council won't look lightly on a neutral colony being destroyed."

"How can you call a Colony that was manufacturing new weapons for the Earth Forces Neutral?" Rau reasoned with him.

"But.."

"Most of the residents escaped so there should be no issue," Rau gave his logic, "In comparison to the Bloody Valentine Incident, that is." Fredrik let out a gasp at that statement as Rau made his way to the Sensor Officer.

"Can you get the position of the enemy's new warship?" Rau asked the ZAFT Green.

"No," he responded, "not with the current state of things."

"Do you plan to go after them?" Fredrik asked with an incredulous tone, "But we have no Mobile Suits left except for Miguel's salvaged GINN."

"What do you mean?" Rau asked with a confused tone, "we have the four that we took from the Earth Forces."

"You suggests that we use those?!" Fredrik protested, "but…"

"Now that we're finished with the data extraction , we can go ahead and use them." Rau explained, he flies over to the Bridge's central console, "bring up a map, of the region." He commanded, "Send a message to the Gamow to expand its search radius."

Meanwhile, Athrun now dressed in his normal suit floated along one of the Vessalius' corridors. He stopped at one of the Ship's side windows and peered out into space, a pensive expression on his face as he narrowed his eyes deep in thought.

"Kira…"

Archangel

Setsuna , Flay and Kira who joined them on the way had just made their way to the Mess Hall that all the refugees are currently sat together in. The door opened as they enter as the others sat at one of the end tables. They all look at the three with shocked expressions before Sai got up from his seat. Flay yelled out a cry of joy at the sight of him and rushed toward Sai and embraced the boy. Kira only looked on with a smile as Setsuna looked with an impassive look.

Archangel Bridge…

"Prepare Decoy!" Ramius ordered, "upon firing, we'll start the main engines to adjust our course to Artemis." She explained.

"We'll then switch to inertial flight to avoid detection by the enemy! Level Two Battle Stations!" She continueed, "Finish checking the ship with an absolute minimum time!"

"A silent run to Artemis…" Mu muttered, "That should take about two hours. From this point on, we'll have to rely on luck…"

Vessalius Bridge…

Rau and Fredrik both stood next to the Central Bridge Console. The data appeared showed a map of potential routes and locations within the area.

"Perhaps from the debris from the collapsed Heliopolis they've already left this area unnoticed." Fredrik suggested to Rau.

"No, we can rule that out," Rau discredited, "they're likely sitting very quietly somewhere." He surmised before looking back down towards the data shown on the console.

"How about setting up a net?" Rau wondered out loud.

" 'a net', did you say?" Fredrik queried.

Archangel Bridge…

"Number Three, fire decoy!" Natarle commanded.

One of the Archangel's rear Large Missile Launchers fired off a large missile that went veering in a direction.

A direction that the crew of the Archangel hoped their enemies would take.

Vessalius…

A series of directional arrows appeared on the console to help Rau demonstrated what exactly he means by a net.

"The Vessalius will take off first and wait for the enemy here," Rau gestured to a position on the map, "Gamow will follow along the course, intersecting the orbit searching for the enemy ship and staying hidden.

"To Artemis?" Fredrik asked, "but what if they were to leave for the moon?"

"A large heat source is detected!" One of the Bridgecrew interrupted causing them to turn away from the console, "Information analyse estimated course ship will swing by Earth and head for the moon to the Earth Forces Atlantic Federation Headquarters!"

Fredrik narrowed his eyebrows at this.

Archangel…

"Start main engines!" Murrue commanded the Bridgecrew, "Adjust ship's course for Artemis!"

The White Ship made a sudden and harsh turn as the ship swivelled in an almost perfect 360 motion, its engines roaring into life as it quickly took off in the opposite direction. This action alerted all of the ship's passengers as the vibrations could be felt throughout the ship, scaring a few and merely surprising others.

Vessalius…

"Commander!" Fredrik turned his attention to Rau and addressed his compatriot.

"That was a decoy." Rau responded smoothly, undeterred by the occurance.

"But we should confirm with the Gamow, just in case." He protested.

"No." Rau simply responded, "they're heading for Artemis. I'm even more sure of that now."

Rau took a commanding pose and swept his hand out to his right.

"The Vessalius will set sail," Rau commanded, "get Zelman online."

Some Time Later, On The Archangel

Setsuna laid on one of the bunks while Kira and the others talked amongst themselves. Setsuna wasn't one for talking and decided to just rest for the next battle.

"I wonder where we're heading." Sai spoke out loud, "They changed course, didn't they? I wonder if ZAFT is still around."

"They're after this ship and that Mobile Suit, right?" Tolle queried, "Then maybe they're still after us."

"Huh, what?!" Flay exclaimed, "Then you're saying that we're less safe now that we boarded the ship. No way!" Kira eyes widened at that remark as a sorrowful expression crosses his face.

"Would you have rather remained on that broken Lifeboat?" Miriallia countered.

"Running the risk of either being captured by ZAFT or losing oxygen and dieing?" Serena added.

"W-well, not exactly…" Flay trailed, leaning closer on Sai for support.

"I hope my parents are safe." Kuzzey remarked.

"Evacuation orders were issued to all districts, I'm sure they're okay." Sai assured him with a smile.

"Kira Yamato and Setsuna F. Seiei!" A voice called out, breaking their reverie. They all turn towards the entrance of their quarters to Mu La Flaga as he stood there, one of his hands scrunched in a fist and on his hips.

"Y-yes?" Kira addressed him nervously.

"What is it?" Setsuna asked as he opened his eyes and faced the man.

"Petty Officer Murdoch asked me to tell you both that since we're understaffed, you two are responsible for maintaining your machines."

"Our machine?" Kira exclaimed, "Wait, what do you mean Our machine?"

I have to agree, don't the gundam's belong to either Morgenroete or the Earth Alliance?" Setsuna asked.

"Technically, you're right. These mobile suits are top secret military hardware. But, just for the moment, it's been decided that since you're the only ones who can operate them effectively, they're your machines."

"Sure, we piloted those machines... but we're not soldiers. We aren't going to just go jump back in because you ask us to," Kira argued.

"Listen... I understand how you feel, Kira," Mu replied. "But right now, there are only three of us who can protect this ship. Even if just for a little while, Kira. We won't make it through without your help. Everyone on this ship is depending on us. Depending on you."

"Counting on us and the gundam." Setsuna repeated quietly to himself. "If we don't do what we can then everyone onboard will die Kira." This statement caused everyone besides Setsuna and Mu to gasp slightly.

"That's right," Mu said. "All we can do now is contribute whatever we can... in our own way. Whether civilian or soldier, Natural or Coordinator. It'll be tough, but those are the circumstances that we face on this ship."

"Lt. La Flaga... Setsuna..." Kira murmured.

"You have very little time left, including the time to think it over," the lieutenant said as he began to walk away. "Just make sure that whichever decision you make, you won't regret."

"Excuse me, sir," Sai spoke up. "But, where are we going?"

"A Eurasian Military Fortress" Mu informed him, "well, we'll be lucky if THEY don't let us go without incident." Mu commented before walking away.

Setsuna looked over to Kira. "Kira, let's go down to the hanger?"

"I need to be alone for a little bit..." Kira murmured before he ran off.

"Kira!" Tolle and Mir shouted.

"Don't worry, I'll go after him," Setsuna said as he moved towards the door.

"Hold on a minute!" Flay exclaimed. "You mean that you and Kira were piloting those mobile suits?"

"Yes, they were the ones," Sai replied. "You know how one of the mobile suits brought aboard that lifeboat you were on? Well, the pilot of that mobile suit was Setsuna."

Flay turned to Setsuna. "You? You were the one in that thing?"

"Yeah, I piloted the Exia."

"But why would the two of you be piloting mobile suits?" she asked.

"Kira is a Coordinator so it was easy for him to pilot it." he replied.

"Well, what about you ?"Flay asked. "Why did you pilot one?"

If Setsuna was shocked by the question he didn't show it on the outside. But on the inside he couldn't find an answer for the red headed girl.

Setsuna then turned his back on the rest and went on his way, following the same path that Kira had taken.

Serena watched Setsuna walk away with a sorrowful gaze. Ever since they found him, he had always been cold and never let anyone in. She remembered once telling him about god and what she thought about him when they were young. It was the first time he showed anger towards her, the first time she was scared and would never forget what he said.

"In this world, There is no God ,you hear me NO GOD!" He yelled

"Kira is a Coordinator," Sai confirmed, "but he isn't with ZAFT." He tried to assure her, unfortunately, a distressed expression is clear on her face.

"He's one of our closest friends." Miriallia assured her.

"I see." Flay said with a monotone. "And what about Setsuna, is he a coordinator as well?" She asked the group.

"Well that's the strangest thing, he isn't one." Tolle said while shocking the red head.

"H..he isn't one?" Flay murmured to herself a little relieved that someone like the mysterious Setsuna F. Seiei wasn't a coordinator.

Meanwhile

Setsuna walked the same path Kira took and made his way to a door.

He hit a panel on the side, and the door silently slid open...

"Setsuna?" Kira said from where he had been sitting, surprised to see his friend.

"I take it you've decided?" he asked.

Kira nodded. "I thought about what Lt. La Flaga said... and I figured that I shouldn't run away. If I have the power to make a difference, then I should put it to good use, right?"

Setsuna nodded at Kira. "That's right, but remember to follow your own beliefs and not anyone else's." he replied.

"Since we're heading out there... I guess we should get to putting on some pilot suits, huh?" Kira added, walking over to different lockers and opening them, looking for a suit that would fit him.

Setsuna was debating if he should put on one of those suits or just risk piloting without one. He really couldn't imagine himself in one of them and even if he did he thought that he would look silly.

"Hey Setsuna, aren't you going to put on one?" Kira asked as he finished putting on his pilot suit.

"I'm going to look in Exia to see if there's a pilot suit." Setsuna replied before heading towards the door.

"But why when there are suits right here?" Kira asked not understanding why his friend would look inside his Mobile Suit for a suit when there were plenty here.

Setsuna turned and looked Kira in the eye. " No offence to you Kira ,but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a pilot suit like that." He said before leaving for the hanger.

Vessalius

The Large battleship is currently flying through the remains of the Colony in the hopes of intercepting the Enemy Ship sometime soon. Meanwhile, Athrun Zala has just reached the Private Quarters of Rau Le Creuset and used the intercom to inform the White Coat of his presence

"Athrun Zala, Reporting as ordered!" Athrun addressed his superior.

"Yes, please come in." He requested the Red Coat. The Automatic door slide open and Athrun stepped through as Rau is frantically typing at his Computer. Athrun swiftly saluted his superior.

"I was hoping to speak to you earlier but things got out of hand, with the collapse of Heliopolis." He explained to Athrun, ceasing his actions at the computer and turned his chair to the left to properly address Athrun.

"Sir, I apologise for what happened during the previous battle." Athrun quickly responded.

"I have no intention of punishing you," Rau assured him, "but I would like to hear your side of the story. Particularly since it wasn't like you, Athrun."

Athrun clenched his teeth together a little, making a quiet grunt.

"I understand you were near that machine when it was activated." Rau clarified with him.

"I am sorry about that," Athrun apologized again, "I was stunned by what had happened and failed to report the incident" He pauses for a moments.

"One of those machines." Athrun addressed, "the person piloting it is Kira Yamato. A Coordinator friend from the military preparatory school I intended on the moon."

"Oh...!" Rau silently exclaimed, clearly surprised at the interesting turn of events.

"I never dreamed that we would meet again under such circumstances so I just had to be sure." Athrun explained to his superior.

"I see. War is full of such irony." Rau commented, getting out his chair to better address the ZAFT Red, "I don't blame you for being so stunned. I imagine that you were quite close to this friend."

"Yes." Athrun confirmed.

"Very well." Rau concluded, "if that's the case, then I will take you off the upcoming sortie." Athrun let out a confused gasp at this conclusion.

"You wouldn't be able to point a gun at such a friend." Rau reasoned, "and I do not want you to, either."

"No, Commander!" Athrun protested, "that's…

"Even if he's your friend, we must shoot him now that he is an enemy." Rau countered smoothly, "Surely you can understand that, right?"

"Kira is…" Athrun started to protest again, "he's being used by the Naturals," he tried to explain.

"He's brilliant, but he's also good-natured and absent-minded so he fails to see when he is being taken advantage of." He continued, "that's why I want to try and persuade him! He's also a Coordinator! I know he'll understand what we have to say!"

"I understand what you are trying to say," Rau sympathised, "but… what if he won't be persuaded?" Athrun's eyes widen for a few moments before looking back down towards the ground with a mix of guilt and sadness.

"If that happens," Athrun responded, "I'll shoot him myself."

Archangel

Mu hit the door panel, and it slid open. The mobile armor ace, clad in his customary purple flight suit, stepped in and immediately stopped, quite surprised at what his eyes were showing him.

Before him stood Setsuna and Kira, fully suited up in their own distinct pilot suits: Kira wearing a dominantly light blue alliance suit ( Mu's and Kira's suit looks like Graham Aker's from season 1 of 00 but with the colors of their suits from Seed), and Setsuna wearing a Blue and Black suit that he's never seen before.

"Well, I suppose this means that you're both going to lend us a hand, right?" Mu asked, though he already expected the reply. He was just doing this for his peace of mind.

"That's right" Setsuna said.

"I thought about what you said back there, Lieutenant..." Kira replied. "And I realized that I should contribute in whatever way I can. I may not be a soldier, but that doesn't mean that I should back down from protecting my friends."

Mu grinned. "Well, that's reassuring," he said. "Now that you're ready... I should let you boys in on the plan! But before that Setsuna what the hell kind of suit are you wearing."

"I found it in Exia, I thought it would suit me more than an Earth Alliance one." The raven haired pilot replied.

Archangel Mess Hall

"I wonder what Kira's decided…" Miriallia wondered with a somber tone.

"We'll likely be in quite an unenviable position if he doesn't fight." Flay's expression became slightly darker. "But at least Setsuna would still be out there."

"Hey Tolle," Miriallia turned to her boyfriend, "We're always on the sidelines relying on Kira and Setsuna to protect us." Tolle looked away from her with a dark expression.

"If we have the ability to make a difference, put it to use, right?" He quoted the familiar words. He then looked up towards the rest of his friends, they all exchange a silent look before nodding.-

Vessalius

"So that's…!" Fredrik trailed. He looked towards a large protective barrier around a large station.

"The Umbrella of Artemis." Rau confirmed for his cohort, "It appears that they have already caught onto us. It's in effect."

"We've arrived here without meeting the Earth Alliance' new ship." Fredrik observed.

"We're in their path," Rau assured him, "we'll get them here!"

"Turn ship 180 degrees!" Fredrik commanded the pilot, "Match velocity to Artemis and proceed astern!"

The Nazca-Class swiveled around using the large side-thrusters and easily turn the ship around to have its back towards Artemis. Upon completing this action, the Ship's engines roared into life to stop the craft drifting backwards toward the station. The large, blue ship eventually came to a dead halt.

The hangar doors opened and the Moebius Zero pulled onto the Launch Catapult by the conveyor and tether.

"Moebius Zero, La Flaga, to the Linear Catapult!" Natarle called over the intercom as the hangar doors shut behind the Mobile Armour and the burn shield rised behind it. The Catapult doors opened, allowing the Mobile Armor to take off. Mu brought down his helmet's visor in signal that he's ready.

"Mu La Flaga, taking off!" Mu yelled over the comm,"Don't let them sink you before I return!" THE Moebius is released from its clamp as "Launch Clear" appeared three times on the Catapult Indicator, informed Mu to launch.

Archangel's Bridge

"Laurasia-Class approaching, 50 to stern!" Romero called out.

"Start Main Engine in two minutes!" She commanded, "Strike and Exia prepare to take off!"

"All mobile suits, proceed to position!" Romero called over the intercom. The Strike maneuvered, while still attached to its docking mount, onto the Launch Pad's foot clamps.

"Catapult connection! System, all green!"

Hanger

'The lieutenant will sneak ahead and hit the enemy in front,' Kira thought, going through the plan one more time. 'Meanwhile, Setsuna and I will protect the ship from the enemy behind us. This is gonna work.'

"Kira, Setsuna," Miriallia suddenly said over the comm as her face appeared on one of screens on the console. The background behind her showed the CIC on the Archangel's bridge.

"Miriallia?" Kira said.

From now on, I will act as Combat Controller for you guys." She informed them, "I'm counting on you two!" She winked and gave both a peace sign.

"We're all counting on you!" Tolle said over the comm.

The roof opened up as a Loading Arm descended through it, carrying the large red and black Boosters that Make up a part of the AQM/E-X01 "Aile" Striker Pack. The right hatch opened as another loading arm carrying the 57MM High Energy Beam Rifle with the left hatch carried the red and yellow shield.

"But what are you…?" started Kira.

"We didn't want to let you two do all the work," said Mir. "So we volunteered to help out with the ship's operation."

Kira smiled in appreciation, reaffirmed in the belief that they were doing the right thing. While Setsuna just ignored them and prepared for launch.

"The enemy will make their move right when the Archangel makes the first move," Natarle said over the comm. "Strike, Exia, be ready."

"Roger. GN system exit repose. Priority pass to Setsuna F. Seiei" Setsuna said as the his Gundam's GN-Drive powered up.

"Right," Kira replied, going over the Strike's current armaments as each display came up on his main screen.

Bring our engines up to maximum combat speed," the two heard Murrue say. "Activate the assault cannons, and have them target the Nazca-class dead ahead."

As instructed, the helmsman, Arnold Neumann, reactivated the engines, bringing control of the Archangel's movements back into his hands.

The Archangel's engines roar into life as the White Ship began to make its advance.

"Lohengrin, fire!" Natarle commanded. The two cannons let off their large intense beams of Red Light that streamed directly towards the Vessalius.

Vessalius…

"Heat Source approaching from ahead and large heat source detected behind it!" the Sensor Officer called out to Fredrik, "It's a warship!"

"Evasive Action!" He ordered.

"I see that they're firing in confusion, now that they've seen us." Rau said to himself.

Meanwhile, Mu watched from his Moebius Zero as the large, intense red beam veered straight past him and continued its course towards the Nazca-Class.

Gamow…

"Heat Source detected!" The communication Officer informed Captain Zelman, "supposedly from the enemy warship!"

"Launch Mobile Suits!" He commanded.

The Three G-Weapons located in the Hangar (Duel, Buster, Blitz)'s eyes all blare into life as the Duel was the first to detach itself from its mount, ready to launch.

"I'll believe what you said earlier, Athrun Zala." Rau Le Creuset, aboard the Vessalius, informed the Red soldier who was currently located in the cockpit of the Aegis and clad in a ZAFT Red Normal Suit.

The Launch Catapult for the Vessalius opened as the Aegis prepared to launch as it levitated itself into the air. The Sign confirmed that the Mobile Suit is clear for launch so the Aegis launched out of the Launch Bay, detached its power cable and activated its Phase Shift.

Archangel…

"Two Mobile Suits have launched from the Nazca-Class!" Dalida informed Natarle.

"Captain?!" Natarle asked Murrue.

"Please!" She responded. Natarle then directed her attention to Miriallia.

"Have both Mobile Suits launch!" She commanded. Miriallia grasped hold of her headset.

"Kira, Setsuna!"

"Roger!" Kira and Setsuna both respond.

As if on cue, both catapult doors opened up and locked into place. Kira looked up, and punched the throttle as the display lit up green.

"Kira Yamato, Gundam Strike, taking off!" Kira announced as he cleared the launch deck.

'We will win this battle. Together with our Gundam's.' Setsuna thought on his own end, but shook it off as his own catapult's launch display gave him the green light.

"Exia, Setsuna F. Seiei launching." Setsuna said calmly as the catapult activated, propelling him forward and into space.

The Aile Strike's wings folded up as the Phase Shift activated and colored the Strike as the GN-Drive on the Exia left a trail of particles behind the Gundam.

Meanwhile, Athrun approached the Archangel from the front. He had a strong and confident expression on his face until he saw something that made him pause. That was the sight of the Strike, standing guard from the oncoming assault along with the Exia.

"Kira take care of the Aegis," said Setsuna "I'll handle the other three, just remember to follow the plan" He said has he flew straight towards the enemy mobile suits.

Meanwhile

Duel, Buster and Blitz close in on the Archangel. Yzak took the lead in the Duel, Nicol followed behind in the Blitz and Dearka brought up the rear in the Buster.

"My radar just went dead," said Nicol in the Blitz.

"So did mine, whats going on?" asked Dearka in the Buster.

"Enemy mobile suit in front of us!" said Yzak "What is this stupid natural thinking must be egger to meet his end." He fired the beam rifle on the Duel. But the Exia dogged and continued his course towards them. Setsuna used his GN-Sword/Rifle and fired at the Duel. It hit Yzak twice in the chest.

"What is with this guy?" said Dearka. He aimed the Buster's heavy plasma guns. He fired but Setsuna dogged. He fired a barrage of missiles but Setsuna was able to avoid and shoot them down. He fired with his rifle again hitting Dearka in the chest. Nicol pulled out the beam saber of his Blitz but Setsuna rolled out of the way. He extended his sword. The Blitz swung around again but Setsuna blocked it.

Yzak came from behind with his saber in hand. But before he could do anything Setsuna pulled out of of Exia's Beam Sabers and turned around and blocked the Duel.

Nicol tried to move in but the Archangels had fired missiles from behind and he needed to take those out.

Meanwhile, Athrun stowed away his Beam Rifle on the side skirt and grabbed one of the Aegis' arm mounted Beam Saber. Kira responded by pulling one of his own beam saber mounted in the backpack. Neither attack as the Aegis flew straight past the Strike, not attacking. Athrun turned his Gundam then activated his com-screen.

"Kira" he said.

"Athrun" replied Kira.

"Lower your sword Kira please," pleaded Athrun "We are not enemies. We're friends, why do we have to fight each other."

Both the Strike and Aegis continued to circle around each other, neither unleashed an attack on the other at the risk of harming their friend.

"Why are we fighting against each other?" Athrun called out to his friend.

"Athrun…" Kira trailed.

"Why must you, a coordinator like us, fight against us?" Athrun pleaded to his friend. These words gave Kira a pause as he tightened his grip around the control lever and grunted a little to signify his frustration at this situation.

Meanwhile Setsuna was still engaged with the other ZAFT pilots. Then he saw the Blitz break away from him and go toward the ship. He tried to go after him but the Duel cut him off.

However in the CIC pit Badgiruel saw the incoming suit. "Fire port side valiant," she commanded. Then Miriallia and Sai typed in some commands. Then a cannon on the side of the ship fired off a shot chasing Nicol away.

Kira looked back and saw that the Archangel. He saw that it was still in fierce conflict and that Setsuna was doing his best to protect it and everyone else aboard. He flew towards them but Athrun cut them off.

"Kira enough" shouted Athrun.

"Athrun" said Kira "let me pass"

"Why are you with the Earth Forces" demanded Athrun angry. Kira tried to pass him but Athrun kept blocking him.

"I'm not a member of the Earth Forces!" said Kira in a reasonable tone there are people I know on that ship! My friends are on that ship!" Kira started backing up as Athrun approached. "Besides" asked Kira "what are you doing with ZAFT?" Now they started circling each other.

Kira countered, "why are you taking part in this war?!" Athrun's eyes widen at that question, clearly distressed by it. This lapse gave Kira the opportunity to move himself even further away as he ignited the Aile pack's boosters to gained some distance from the Aegis, the two Mobile Suits continued to circle each other hesitantly.

"You used to say you hated war!" Kira continued, "so why did you assault Heliopolis?"

"Because the Naturals, who fail to understand this situation went and made these things!" Athrun explained with a heated tone.

"But Heliopolis is neutral!" Kira countered, "So am I! Yet…!" Kira was unable to finish his statement as an "ALERT" Message appeared on his helmets display with the Strike's sensors blared into life. Kira quickly boosted upwards and avoided a burst of shots that originated from the Duel's Beam Rifle the Blue Mobile Suit quickly advanced on the Strike.

You're not fighting," said Yzak "why not."

Setsuna fired his GN-Sword/Rifle at the Buster and hit it in serveral areas on the mobile suit.

"Damn" said Dearka. Then he moved the Buster upward and he brought his plasma guns together to form a long-range particle cannon. He fired narrowly missing Exia.

"Fire helldarts and Eagle stallions," Badgiruel, then machine guns and small missiles fired at the enemy mobile suits.

"I'm coming from below," said Nicol to Dearka.

"Alright" Dearka replied, "I'll cover you." Then Nicol moved the Blitz down under the ship. Setsuna dived down as fast as he could. But the Buster blocked him.

"Intercept the enemy mobile suits," commanded Murrue. Then machine guns on the underbelly of the ship fired at the Blitz. He avoided the fire and then flew back up to the side of the ship.

"Fire Gottfrieds" ordered Murrue "roll 30 degrees." Then two heavy guns on the ship moved and fired on the Blitz.

Vessalius…

"Enemy Vessel approaching! Distance 740!" The Communications Officer called out, "message from the Gamow: 'Our ship has also confirmed total enemy battle force to be one Mobile Suit.'"

"So that Mobile Armour is still not ready for sortie, I see." Rau remarked, which caused Fredrik to turn his chair slightly to regard him.

"I believe we can make that assumption." Fredrik added, clearly agreeing with the sentiment. Rau just quietly sat there for a few moments before he brought his hand up to his chin and a pensive expression graced his features. A slight "hmm" can be heard leaving his mouth and indicated this.

Kira was dogging blows from the Duel. "Coward" thought Yzak "fight already." Kira pulled out his beam rifle and fired. But the Duel dogged. He looked at his power gauge. He saw he was at half strength. "Damn it" he thought.

"Not with the way you're fighting!" Yzak yelled as he holstered his Beam Rifle and brought out one of his Beam Sabers. Kira cried out at the sight of this as the blade of Pink Energy clashed with his shield. Kira broke the clash and flies to the left to try and get a shot off, unfortunately missed and caused the Strike to chase him again as Kira flew away when Yzak swiped at him again.

Athrun only watched as Kira run from Yzak's assault with a worried expression.

Near the Vessalius…

The familiar orange Mobile Armor slowly navigated through debris underneath the Vessalius, waiting for the moment to strike.

"Not yet." Mu muttered to himself.

"Enemy Vessel approaching, distance 630!" The Communications Officer called out on the bridge of the nearby Nazca-Class, "it will shortly enter our ship's firing range!"

"We will begin our attack." Rau declared to his confidant. Fredrik turned toward him.

"But our Mobile Suits are still out there!" Fredrik protested, "firing the main cannon would…"

"None of our guys would be clumsy enough to be hit by friendly fire." Rau countered. "But our counterparts will be firing at us." Fredrik looked at Rau with a surprised expression before he turned back forward to address the bridge-crew.

"Prepare to fire main cannon!" Fredrik ordered, "Target enemy vessel!"

"Prepare to fire cannon!"One of the Gunnery Officers repeated.

"Target enemy vessel!" The other continueed. The two large 177MM Beam Cannons on the nose of the Vessalius all tilted forward and adjust themselves to begin firing at the approaching Archangel.

Battlefield…

Kira was still struggling. He could see that for some reason the Strike was burning energy fast. Then he could see the Buster coming in from a distance.

"Time to finish this" said Dearka. He aimed his plasma guns. But before he could fire Setsuna flew up behind him and fired on him with his Rifle. "Damn it," thought Dearka "This guy is good."

"ZAFT vessel is locking on to us," said Sai in the CIC pit.

"Fire Lohingrin" ordered Badgiruel.

"No" said Romius "Laflaga's mobile amour is going to engage them."

"Lieutenant" said Badgiruel annoyed "we don't have that kind of time."

In the meantime Nicol and his Blitz were joining the mobile suit fight.

"Surround them," said Dearka in the Buster. The four mobile suits tried to do that. But Exia got in between the Buster and the Blitz. He took out two beam sabers from under his arms and swung at the both of them.

Meanwhile, the Moebius Zero's sensors start to buzz into life as Mu continued to inch forward, informing the Pilot that he has reached the correct position.

"Got it!" He muttered to himself.

On the Vesalius was about to fire on the Archangel. "Heat source approaching" said the radar operator.

"La Flaga" thought La Creuset. "Lower bow" he commanded, "pitch angel 60." But it was too activated his gun barrels and the detached from the mobile amor. He fired them along with his main cannon. The fire hit the main thrusters on the ship. Then he fired a missile at the hull.

"Sevier damage to engines" said one of the bridge crew "we're losing thrust. Number five sodium wall on fire."

"We're pulling out" ordered La Creuset. "Damn you Mu La Flaga" he thought.

"Message from Lieutenant La Flaga" said Miriallia "Mission accomplished, he is heading back"

"Prepare to fire Lohingrin," Murrue ordered "contacted the mobile suits. Tell them to keep out of the line of fire."

'Looks like Lt. La Flaga succeeded.' Setsuna thought

Which meant that the Nazca-class had taken serious damage and would likely fall back and recall the mobile suits.

In the Exia Setsuna received the message. He took a quick look around. Kira was fighting the Aegis and the Duel but was out of the danger zone.

A few moments later, the Lohengrin cannons emerged and fired. The two massive streaks of energy raced towards the location of the Nazca-class.

The ZAFT ship moved out of the way just in time to avoid a direct hit. But it did graze the side of the ship.

"Order the mobile suit teams to retreat," commanded La Creuset.

In the meantime the Exia and the Stike were still in a fierce melee with the ZAFT machines. Setsuna could see that the Blitz and Buster were alongside him. He fired his fired his GN-Sword/Rifle at them. The blasts hit the Buster but the Blitz dogged and came at Setsuna. Setsuna unfolded his Sword. He swung out at the Blitz and cut the one of the machines arm off.

The Archangel then fired three Signal Flares, which made everyone on the battlefield pause for a second.

"A return signal" thought Yzak. He lunged at the Strike.

"Yzak" said Athrun desperately "we have been ordered to return."

"Quiet" snapped Yzak. He fired his beam rifle at Kira, but the Strike managed to block it with his shield. Setsuna launched Exia towards their location to intervene. The Buster tried to block his path but Setsuna maneuvered around the Suit.

Kira dogged the blow. He tried to fire back but the Strike's finger wouldn't pull the trigger. "Oh no" though Kira. He looked and saw that the Strike was out of power. The Strikes color turned back into the grey it was when Kira first saw it. At that moment, the Duel raised its rifle and aimed at the Strike.

"Hold on Kira!" Setsuna said as Exia raced towards the powerless Strike.

At the same time, the Aegis transformed into Mobile Armor mode and sped towards the Strike. The race to see who would get to the Strike first was underway.

The Duel fired as the Aegis and the Exia neared the Strike.

Thanks to the Exia's superior speed he was able to grab the Strike and used his GN-Rifle and fired at the Aegis. Athrun grunted and dodged the particle beams.

"Archangel. The Strike's out of power launch one of the Striker Packs." Setsuna said

"Thanks" Kira said over the com-screen.

"Don't thank me yet" said the Exia's pilot. He saw as the three other mobile suits joined up with the Aegis. All their weapons trained on them.

They were all about to fire when Mu came out from the debris and fired his cannon and his detached gun barrels at the stolen mobile suits.

"Get the Strike lined up with the Archangel so they can launch the Launcher Striker. I'll cover you." La Flaga said.

"Roger" said Setsuna as he took the Strike and flew off leaving a trail of GN-Particles.

Archangel Hanger…

"Are you ready Chief Murdock" asked Ramius throught the comm.

"Yeah" said Murdock "even though it is the craziest thing ever."

"We have to wait for the Strike to be aligned with the ship," said Badgiruel "then we can deploy the Striker pack.

One of the Archangel's catapults opened up. Setsuna lined up both machines with the catapult.

"End of the line, Kira." Setsuna said as he released the Exia's grip on the Strike and flew back to the battle.

"Thanks again Setsuna." Kira replied as he released the Aile Striker from the back of the Strike.

The Launcher Striker launched from the Archangel towards the Strike. Kira quickly attached the Launcher Striker, reactivated the phase-shift and started firing at the enemy mobile suits.

The Strike then joined back up with Exia as both Gundam's were firing at the Zaft mobile suits and forcing them away.

The Duels arm was destroyed by the Strike and all the suits were starting to run out of power.

"Dammit!" Yzak cursed.

"Yzak. We need to retreat." Athrun said.

"WHAT?!" Yzak shouted at the top of his lungs.

"The Vesalius has been damaged. And we're starting to run low on power."

"I agree with Athrun." Nicol said. "If we don't fall back soon, it will be our turn to run out of power."

The Exia and Strike stop firing as they see the four ZAFT suits retreat. The battle was over for now. But there will always be a new one on the horizon.

Earth

"Looks like we're the top news story in every single country…" Lockon Stratos smiled as read the news report. "A mysterious group declares to the entire world that it intends to eliminate war…" he smiled and laughed a little "Of course… most of them don't actually believe we can pull it off."

The splashing of water caught their attention as a girl's voice came over to them "Then we shall have to make them believe…" the Meister looked over and saw the teenaged Asian girl wearing khaki outdoors cloths being carried in the arms of her servant "After all Celestial Being's ideals can only be demonstrated through actions."

Lockon smiled at her "Wang Liu-Mei, you sure got here quickly…"

Wang Liu-Mei looked at him "Time for your second mission…" she smiled.
