Chapter4
004
The old friends looked at each other for a few moments while explosions were occurring near them. Recovering from the pain of being shot, Murrue aimlessly shot at Athrun. Easily dodging the bullets the blue haired teen jumped off of the G-weapon. Watching as the ZAFT operative left the scene Kira did not notice when his fellow brunette getting up and bitch slapping into the cockpit of the mobile suit, also jumping in the cockpit soon after.
Now inside the machine's cockpit, Murrue quickly told Kira to move towards the back of the seat, "At least we can save this one and the Noir," She commented turning on the controls, "even I should be able to operate this."
Soon after she finished her sentence the machine lit up showing the duo brunette the outside of the machine. Kira then glanced towards the uncolored Aegis, 'Athrun? No it can't be,' Kira thought, 'it's not possible.' He then turned his attention to the screen in front of him and saw those six letters, GUNDAM.
General
Unilateral
Neuro - Link
Dispersive
Automatic
Maneuver
"Gundamn?" Kira read out loud not knowing what this meant at all.
With Jacob
Getting over the pain in his shoulder, Jacob operated the Strike Noir to sit up and move into a standing position. Smirking in triumph Jacob looked down towards the Strike and Aegis with both the mobile suits' eyes lit.
"Dang I guess we have two out of the six G-weapons," Jacob mumbled opening a communication link with David, Kent and Jude. "Guys I've successfully captured the Strike Noir and hopefully the Strike, if Lieutenant Ramius allows us to have it."
'Good work.' Kent spoke into the link.
'Jacob do you have any weapons on you right now?' David asked the 17 year old.
Glancing down on his screen Jacob nodded, "Yes sir."
'Good,' Jacob's commanding officer replied, 'since I'm guessing the Strike is practically naked right now I want you to protect it and its pilot until we regroup.'
"Yes sir," Jacob replied, "Hey is Jude alright I haven't heard from him yet."
'He's with unwanted company Jacob and so are we. You're lucky that we can even talk to you right now,' Kent replied.
"Right I'll get there as soon as I can with the Strike too," the black haired boy replied closing the comm. Link with his superior officers. After he had done so, Jacob then requested a communication link with the now functional Strike which was quickly accepted by the pilot. "Hello Lieutenant Ramius, this is Second Lieutenant Jacob Ryan how is the Strike?" Right after he had finished his sentence Jacob saw that the mobile suit was standing in all its glory.
With Kira
Kira gasped upon hearing his friend's voice, "Jacob where are you?" he burst out before Murrue had a chance to reply.
'Kira? What are you doing in the Strike and where is Ramius?' Jacob replied.
"I'm assuming you two know each other?" the brunet asked both Kira and Jacob.
'Yes but it would take too long if I explain how. Our top priority is to successfully getting these two G-weapons out of Heliopolis,' Jacob said, "But first Kira take the pilot's seat and rewrite the OS as quickly as possible."
Hearing what the 17 year old instructed the two brunettes were shocked.
"But he is just a kid! How can he rewrite an OS?" Murrue asked.
Jacob chuckled, 'If I can rewrite it then he can, trust me Kira is more of a computer geek than my sister is and that is saying a lot.'
After a few moments of thinking the woman sighed, "Fine, if you trust this boy enough then I'll give it a shot." She said as she and Kira switched places, "I almost forgot," Murrue reached over Kira and pressed a rectangular button, "Second Lieutenant Ryan look around the cockpit and find an orange rectangular button. Once you find it press it." She instructed as Kira started to type quickly on the keyboard.
Raising his left eyebrow in confusion Jacob searched for the button Ramius told him to look for. After a few second passed he had finally found it. Then hesitantly reaching over the button he pressed it.
'Phase Shift?' Jacob read out loud trying to remember where he had heard it from, 'Of course how could I forget that. The PS armor reduces the damage from solid body impact attacks right?'
"Yes, how did you know about that?" Murrue asked.
'Don't worry about how I know that now, I'll tell you once we get out of here. Kira are you done yet?'
"Yeah I'm done," Kira replied, "What do we do now?"
'Easy we get the heck out of here,' Jacob smirked, 'Kira you will pilot the Strike until we get to safety, alright,' he instructed his brown haired friend, getting a hesitant yes from him, 'Good now follow my lead.' Jacob said operating the Noir to fly up in the air.
With Kent
Kent wasn't very good at multitasking or using piloting a mobile suit but he was holding his own in the fight against the two GINNs. Dodging a shot from Miguel's mobile suit, he quickly defended himself from a strike from Tatsuya's GINN's heavy sword by shooting both of his buster rifles at the GINN's wings. In doing so the GINN's thrusters were now banged up. Inside the cockpit of the mobile suit, Tatsuya heard the sound of beeping around him.
"Damn, not good," he said checking the screen for any major damage. Seeing as the thrusters couldn't fully operate the mobile suit pilot had to abort the mission. He then opened a comm link with his superior officer, "Commander my thrusters are damaged, permission to leave the battlefield for repairs."
'Permission granted,' Sato replied, 'Do not let this happen again Tatsuya'
"Yes sir, thank you sir," Tatsuya said turning off the link with Daisuke. He then put up a link with Miguel speaking hastily after it was accepted, "Miguel, I'm going back to the ship."
'Alright I'll hold this guy off, go,' Miguel said while shooting at the Airmaster, getting its attention off of Tatsuya.
And with that Tatsuya flew back to the ship as fast as his damaged thrusters could go.
With David
Seeing that one of the GINNs Kent was fighting flew away from the battlefield, he couldn't help but smirk. "Who would have thought a Natural could do such damage on a trained Coordinator like your son," he said to Daisuke.
"Surprising, that's a Natural piloting that mobile suit?" Daisuke replied striking at the Gundam X's solar panels but the slash was nowhere near the target.
Taking out his beam saber David quickly slashed Daisuke's GINN at its shoulder, "Yes the pilot is a very skilled aircraft pilot in ORB. One of the best."
"Really."
"Of course," David replied dodging a close hit from Sato, "I wouldn't have chosen him if I hadn't known of his military history."
Daisuke cursed, David had successfully slashed off the GINN's left arm making its heavy sword fall out of the mobile suits grip. "An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth it must seems."
"Yes, you know that the Code of Hammurabi was always my thing, Sato." David chuckled. Then a beeping noise flooded the cockpit. "Shit."
"Trouble?"
"Nothing you should concern yourself with," David retorted.
"Let me guess," Daisuke said in a mockingly thoughtful manner, "You still haven't found a solution to Judeth's little problem?"
David clenched jaw tightly together before replying, "As I had said before this does not concern you."
Although he could hear the anger in his old teammate's voice Daisuke pressed on, "Why do you even bother with that boy David, he brings nothing but trouble to us Coordinators. Why not just get rid of him?"
"Because I actually keep my promises unlike you Sato," David replied angrily, "Now if you'll excuse me I have something to take care of." He then shut off his communication link with the ZAFT commander and opened up a link with Kent. "5 minutes Kent, shake your guy off and go help Jude."
With Kent
The Orb mobile suit pilot was currently fighting off Miguel when he got a link from his commander.
"5 minutes Kent, shake your guy off and go help Jude." David ordered.
"I'm trying Commander but he's persistent. Good thing I damaged the other mobile suit or I would have had to go to the gundam's fighter mode." Kent replied shooting at the Miguel's GINN.
'Do whatever it takes; he doesn't have that much time left.'
"Right," brunette pilot responded turning the Airmaster into its fighter mode and dashed past Miguel, flying towards Jude and his two opponents.
Inside Miguel's cockpit he watched as the gundam shot past him, not even trying to attack him with its two buster rifles. Turning to go after the mobile suit Miguel was stopped by the voice of his acting commander, 'Don't bother Aiman, Athrun just contacted me he captured one of the G-weapons. Go over to help him out.'
"Yes sir, what about Rusty?" Miguel went to the factory buildings, awaiting his teammate's arrival.
'Didn't make it.'
The GINN pilot cursed, "Fucking Naturals."
With Jacob
Safely he landed on the ground outside of the facility with Kira quickly behind him.
"Kira I want you to check if you have any weapons on the Strike," Jacob instructed as he took out his beam rifle.
"Right," Kira then quickly checked the gundam's offensive system. All he saw was a valcan gun and an assault knife, "That's it, only an armr- scneider?"
"Good enough, now I want you to attack the GINN over there while I back you up," Jacob said as he flew behind the Strike, "and watch where you step Tolle, Sai, Miri, and other civilians are still near us."
Kira's eyes widened, "They're still here?" he then spotted his three friends to the left of them running along with other innocent lives. "No." He then heard a beeping noise come from the mobile suit.
"Watch out!" Murrue yelled getting Kira's attention.
The brown haired teen turn to look straight to see the GINN that Jacob told Kira to take one was charging at him. Quickly Kira maneuvered out of its way and took the assault knives and quickly stabbed the ZAFT mobile suit on the shoulder.
"What the-" Miguel was stunned that the Natural quickly dodged and attacked him with such fluidness, "How can a Natural do that kind of thing." He said, starting to get pissed then attacking Kira with a heavy sword.
Kira then quickly jumped back a bit just to get bunted with the sword's butt. The Strike flew into a nearby building causing it to collapse. The two brunettes grunted as they both felt the impact. Forced to quickly recover, Kira dodged the incoming attack from Miguel. The Strike then stabbed the GINN in back of its neck area two times each side, making the mobile suit to become immobile.
"Crap, my mobile suit isn't responding at all," Miguel said pushing on the shifts trying to make it move to no prevail. After a few more moments of trying the blonde groaned taking off his strap and pulled on the self-destruct lever. He then got out of the GINN and flew away from both his mobile suit and the Strike.
Noticing that the pilot of the GINN just flew out of it, Murrue turned to Kira, "This doesn't look good step away from the GINN."
"Huh?" Kira turned to Murrue in confusion but then they both flew back as the GINN exploded making a big aftermath.
"Damn he's good," Jacob commented.
'Jake do you copy?' His commanding officer called out into the communication link with the young pilot.
"Yeah, we just defeated the GINN, but we may need some medical attention for Lieutenant Ramius."
David sighed, 'Okay, I want the two of you to take the G-weapons and go to a safe area. Then take care of the wounded and wait for Jude and Kent, I'll be there soon… also make sure the civilian teens are with you and safe. David out.'
Vesalius
Watching the battle outside of the ship, one of the bridge crew called out to Rau Le Creuset, "Laser beacon from Miguel Aiman received! It's an emergency."
"If that last G-weapon is powerful enough to cause Miguel to lose his unit…" he then got from his seat and headed for the door, "All the more reason why we can't ignore to last one." He said talking about the Strike.
With Jude
Jude panted; right now he was in an intense one sided battle with one of his best friends back in the PLANTs. Barely evading an attack from Jun, Judeth flew back a good distance from the GINN. He then felt a nagging pain in his brain. The brunette quickly glanced down to his watch, on it a timer of 5 minutes was quickly counting down. "No not now," he mumbled as his sight became blurry.
From outside the Unicorn gundam's cockpit, Jun noticed that the white mobile suit was not going to move any time soon. Taking the stillness as an opportunity to strike, Jun aimed the rifle at the Unicorn's cockpit area. Jeremy watched in horror as his comrade aimed at the distracted gundam.
"Jun no!" Jeremy was about to dash towards the Unicorn to defend his friend but he was shot by a surprise attack from an incoming enemy.
That incoming enemy was none other than the Airmaster which was soaring threw the air towards the 'battle' between the three. Coming out of the gundam's fighter mode Kent quickly shot at Jeremy and Jun with his buster rifles. This caused Jun to lose his focus and shoot the rifle nowhere near the Unicorn. Jeremy grunted as the impact of the shot caused him to bang his head on the head set of the mobile suit. Upon hearing a beeping sound from the machine's controls Jeremy soon found out that his thrusters and back was damaged.
Just then Daisuke contacted Jun and Jeremy, 'Head back to the ship you two; I was just in a conversation with Rau Le Creuset, he is on his way.'
"Right," Jeremy said hesitantly as he glanced at Judeth's mobile suit which was side by side with the Airmaster. After a few good seconds of gazing the ZAFT pilot then flew out of the battlefield and to the ship.
Unlike Jeremy who responded hesitantly but immediately Jun was too busy glaring at the two still mobile suits. 'Jun, now.' Daisuke said reminding the pilot of his orders. The 26 year old ZAFT pilot reluctantly broke away from the glare; he soon followed Jeremy in silence.
"Jude are you alright?" Kent asked his younger comrade.
"Yea thanks," the brunette panted taking off his helmet and took out an orange bottle of pill from his flight suit's pocket. After he had done so he swiftly took off the lid and swallowed one pill that was in the bottle, "Damn I didn't even notice the time was running out." He sighed when he felt his vision become clear again.
"Next time remember the timer, you could have been in serious trouble if I didn't come and save you," Kent sighed, "We should probably check on Jacob and the Strike." He checked his monitor for any sign of the Strike and the Strike Noir. Once the Orb pilot found their location he spoke to Jude, "Found 'em, we should head over there before any of the ZAFT people show up. " Kent moved towards the two mobile suit's location.
"Where's David," Jude asked. He started to follow behind his comrade's gundam.
"Last time I checked he was still fighting the other GINN, probably the leader. It seems that David knew him," Kent said as they were nearing the mobile suits.
Judeth nodded thoughtfully, "Really." He answered, 'Must be Daisuke Sato, If those two were here then it must be him.' He thought to himself. The nineteen year old felt his chest ache, 'Anna, I'm so sorry.'
With Jun
Once Jun and Jeremy arrived inside the Wateo, Jun angrily stomped to the locker room with Jeremy calmly following him. Once he was in the room the GINN pilot threw off his helmet to the ground. Jun punched his locker as hard as he could, clearly shaking with anger. "God dammit!" he yelled in anger as Jeremy watched from the bench that was by the wall. Jun currently had his helmet off showing his messy black hair and clean cut face. He stood at about 6' 0'' and had brown eyes.
"Jun-." Jeremy started.
"Shut up!" Jun yelled turning to his comrade, "Why are you defending him Jeremy, he betrayed us!"
Standing up and walking over to his angry friend, Jeremy looking up at Jun with a calm stare, "How so?" Jeremy stood at about 5'8'', had short strawberry blonde hair and a goatee and had light blue eyes.
"What do you mean 'How so?' Jude left us for Orb and didn't even say goodbye." The twenty-six year old pilot explained.
"Jun you're thinking a bit harshly, leaving us without saying goodbye is different betraying us." His friend reasoned, "Like I said before he had family back in Orb, it is completely reasonable that he leave us."
Calming down a little Jun bit down on his teeth, "Fine it is reasonable but leaving without saying a word to her, Nicol or anyone of us how is that reasonable?"
Jeremy crossed his arms across his chest, "I guess that's a bit unreasonable but he probably had an excellent why," he sighed, "Damn now we have to fight him." He then chuckled, "You would think a Natural wouldn't smoothly pilot mobile suit hell even an advanced mobile suit, but Jude, man he is full of surprises."
Jun smiled slightly his anger for Judeth sink slowly but surely, "Yea I wonder if he would've kicked our asses if he hadn't known it was us."
"C'mon, Jude's good but fighting two Coordinators at once," They both laughed Jeremy's statement. When they calmed down Jun had a straight face, "Even though I haven't forgiven him for leaving the way he did I don't want to face him in battle. He still is like a brother to me, but now, now he's the enemy."
Jeremy patted his comrade on the shoulder before saying, "I know how you feel bud, but what about Nicol, how would he take the news that Jude is the one we're facing. Hey now that I think about it, David is probably piloting one of those advanced mobile suits too."
"Fuck I forgot about that," Jun cursed, "Now I really don't want to face them in battle."
With Jacob and Kira
Jacob and Kira landed safely on the dirt ground not too far away from the factories. After defeating the GINN, Kira and Jacob got a hold of their friends and flew to a clearing, landed and bandaged up the wounded woman. Once they were settled in Murrue succumbed to her loss of blood and passed out in the Strike's cockpit which resulted in Sai, Tolle and Kuzzey having to carry her to a metallic bench in the area. Miriallia sat next to the woman and waited for Murrue to wake up. While the group of young adults were waiting all of the guys, with an exception of Kira and Jacob, were searching the Strike in pure amazement and curiosity. Both Jacob and Kira were standing between the two mobile suits taking about said machines when the Airmaster and the Unicorn dropped down near the Strike.
Everyone except Kira and Jacob gasped as they watched the newly arrived mobile suit's cockpits open revealing Kent and Jude who both came out of their respective machines. Jude and Kent walked up to the group and took their helmets off.
"Jude, Kent glad you're here," Jacob said in relief as he walked up to his two elder, Kira following behind hesitantly.
"Jacob," Jude addressed him with a nod. He glanced around the area to see 5 teens around Jacob's age look at him with caution and curiously, "Where's Maribelle and Cagalli?"
"Umm..." the black haired seventeen year old glanced behind him at Kira, "Hey Kira, you know where they are right?" he asked in a hopeful voice causing both Kent and Jude to look at the brunette.
Kira hesitantly stepped forward, "They're in a shelter."
Judeth nodded, "I see."
Kent stepped into the conversation looking at Kira with a curious stare, "Are you the one who piloted the Strike?"
Kira glanced at Jacob who nodded, signaling that they could be trusted, "Yes I am."
"Really, did you rewrite the OS as well?" Kent asked in amazement.
"Yes." Kira nodded.
"Impressive," Jude smiled, "What's your name kid?"
"Kira, Kira Yamato," the brown haired teen replied.
Kent opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Miriallia. "Kira!" she called out to her classmate. In front of her Murrue stirred on the bench.
Hearing his name being called he quickly excused himself before walking towards the two females. "Oh, you'd better stay still for now," He advised kindly to his fellow brunette. Miriallia quickly ran to get some water while the others were taking a look at the four huge machines before them.
Watching the two brunettes talking Jacob, Jude and Kent were planning their next move while the trio also waited for their commanding officer's arrival. "What should we do?" Kent asked his younger second in command.
The nineteen year old sighed, "I don't know, maybe we should wait for David to further plan this." He replied scratching the back of his head.
Kent looked up at the group of male teenagers who were look over the Strike, "Do you think it is a good idea for them to be playing with the Strike? They could accidently do something with it."
"They're fine, trust me," Jacob yawned, "They aren't stupid enough to do that, well maybe Tolle but it's cool."
Then they heard a woman shout, "Stay away from that machine!" then a gun shot. Automatically the three Orb officers were on the defensive. They looked towards Kira and Murrue who were walking towards the Strike. They rushed over to Murrue when they saw her put her gun at Kira's face.
"Hey now, there's no need for more violence today!" Judeth yelled both of his hands in front of him.
Murrue turned toward the nineteen year old brunette and lowered her weapon a tad, "Who are you and what are you doing with these mobile suits?"
Jude sighed, "Look we don't have time to ask and answer questions. Let's just say our names and get this over with. My name is Judeth Hirano pilot of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam. Will you please lower your weapon we are not your enemies."
Looking at him with a suspicion searching for any sign of lying on his face. Seeing as there wasn't any Murrue hesitantly dropped her weapon, "Murrue Ramius, I'm an officer of the Earth Alliance Forces."
The brown haired main smile kindly, "Good, now I think you know who Jacob is, so Kent go."
"Kent Nguyen pilot of the GW-9800 Gundam Airmaster." The 27 year old brunette introduced with a nod.
Jude turned towards Kira and his friends, "Your up."
"Kuzzey Buskirk," the blue haired teen hesitantly said.
"Sai Argyle," the teen with light brown hair with orange tinted glassed spoke.
Up next was a teen with wavy brown hair, "Tolle Koenig."
"Miriallia Haw," the brown haired girl introduced.
Lastly it was Kira, "Kira Yamato."
Murrue nodded, "I hate to say this, but cannot allow you to leave." This made everyone except Jacob, Jude and Kent gasp in shock. "Regardless of how it happened. The fact is that you've all seen a military secret. Until I reach the appropriate authorities, and determine how the situation should be handled, you have no choice but to remain with me at all times."
"You're kidding!" Kuzzey said in disbelief.
"Are you outta your mind? That's ludicrous!" Tolle called out.
"We're citizens of Heliopolis! We're Neutral!" Sai pointed out.
Just then the Gundam X landed behind the group. The Orb officers sighed in relief at the sight of their commanding officer's mobile suit. The cockpit opened and come out David still in his Orb uniform. Murrue quickly aimed at David as he walked up the group.
"Who are you?" she yelled pointing the gun at the calm Orb commander.
"David Roger, obviously the pilot of this Gundam X." he replied calmly, "No will you please get that gun out of my face."
Complying with David's request, Murrue lowered her weapon.
"Another one? Really? How many are there?" Tolle asked.
"A few." David deadpanned walking up to Jude, "You take the pills?"
Jude nodded, "Where'd Daisuke go?"
"Back to his ship, it seems that we will have company again soon." The blonde man replied making the group gasped. David then turned to the brown haired woman, "Does the Strike have any other weapons than what it has right now?"
She nodded, "Yes but they're in the trailers back in the factory with the rest of the optional weapons for the other mobile suits."
"Good we will need all of the trailers then," David then turned to his comrades, "Jacob since you barely did shit today I want you to stay here and get your mobile suit ready while Jude and Kent get the trailers from the factory." He ordered his team before turning towards Murrue, "Sorry, I never caught your name."
"My name is Murrue Ramius, Earth Alliance Forces officer." The brunette introduced extending out her hand, "I guess we have to work together for now."
'I suppose so," David replied shaking her hand.
"Hey what should we do?" Sai asked a bit reluctantly. He was a bit uneasy about this whole 'stick with the Earth Alliance officer' but he knew if there was someone coming to attack his house he had to at least try and defend it.
Murrue walked over to Kira and the rest while David and his team went to do their objectives, "I need you guys to work with me here, and I know you don't want to be in this situation but outside of the world you live in we are midst a war here. Between PLANTs and Earth. Between Coordinators and Naturals. Right now I need all of your energy here."
She then pointed at Sai, Tolle and Kuzzey, "You three got get the number five trailer and drive it back as fast as you can," she pointed at Kira, "You, get into the Strike and try to contact the Earth Forces." After she gave the orders to the teens they ran off to do what they were told. Murrue sighed walking over the bench she was previously laying on. Since she wasn't told to do anything Miriallia followed after the wounded woman.
"Nice speech," David commented walking up to the two ladies.
Taking a chug of water from the water bottle she was holding Murrue looked up at David, "Thanks," she replied looking over the 30 year old's appearance, "Are you from Orb."
Taking a seat next to the wounded brunette woman he nodded, "Yes, when my team and I caught wind of this whole Earth Alliance thing we quickly came here to protect the citizens from danger. We knew that if the Alliance was using this colony as a factory for making these G-weapons and ZAFT learned about this, everyone in this colony would suffer the consequences."
"Isn't this colony neutral though? Why would it help make these machines for the Earth Alliance Forces?" Miriallia spoke up getting the attention of the two adults.
"That's a good question, Miss…?" David looked at the teen asking for her name.
"Miriallia Haw."
"Well Miss Haw," David replied, "It is unclear to my team and I why they are here in a neutral colony but my best guess is because since the Earth Federation wanted to keep this whole thing a secret, then they would want to use a place where ZAFT would least expect it to be." He explained, "But that's just my opinion."
Murrue nodded in agreement, "Logical explanation, I never was told how in the world Orb would let us use their facilities to make these machines," she looked up at the 5 mobile suit in front of her, "I wasn't told either how or why they made those other three machines." She addressed the Unicorn, Gundam X, and the Airmaster.
"That's because they weren't part of the G-weapon plan," David explained, "My team instructed the construction of those 3 mobile suit." He said shocking both Murrue and Miriallia.
"But why?" Miriallia questioned, "If you are an officer of Orb don't you want to keep the neutrality of the union?"
"Yes I want to keep Orb out of this war but it was advised that we make those mobile suits. Just in case these situations occur. Imagine ZAFT successfully capturing all six of the G-weapons instead of just capture four. Then both the Earth Alliance and the Orb Union would be screwed."
"Why would Orb be screwed?" Murrue asked.
"Because since a colony belonging to the Orb Union was helping the Alliance with the machines then ZAFT would have a perfect reason to become enemies with Orb, make sense?"
After taking in David's statement the two females slowly nodded. Soon after Kira walked up to the three in failure, "Nothing."
"Shame," David simply replied.
Then the sound of vehicles came into their ears. The four turned to see five trailers drive up to them. Each of the vehicles' passengers got out and ran up to them. "We got some of the extra equipment for the gundams but there're still more back in the facility." Jude said with Sai and Kent behind him while Tolle and Kuzzey were with the trailers.
"Let's worry about it after we defend the colony," David replied standing up from his seat, "Let's just get your machines ready for battle. Sadly I won't be joining you guys since the X's arm is chopped off."
They all turned towards the Gundam X to see that David was right; it was missing its arm. Jude and Kent then went off to their respective gundams and started them up.
"Right well the number five trailer is what you wanted right, is that the one?" Sai asked Murrue.
Looking at the trailer Sai drove up in Murrue nodded, "Yes. Thank you."
"And? What do you want us to do with it?"
The Earth Alliance officer turned to the teenage brunette, "Get the Striker Pack. Once that's done, try and contacting them one more time."
"Okay."
Judeth watched Kira walk off towards the Strike as he sat there in the Unicorn's cockpit. He sighed in frustration, "Damn it."
'Something wrong Jude,' Kent called out to him through their mobile suits' communication link, 'You sound stressed.'
The nineteen year old brunette put on his helmet, "A bit."
'Want to talk about it?'
Jude sighed rubbing his temples, "It's this whole situation with letting these Orb civilians stay with that earth Alliance woman. It just doesn't seem right."
'I feel the same way kid,' Kent replied, 'Hell now that Kira kid is forced to pilot that G-weapon. He's only what 16."
"Yup Kira's sixteen," Jacob said butting into the conversation, "He's a Coordinator too."
"Did he tell you he was?" Jude asked interested in finding out more of the young teen's info.
"Nah I just made an observation that he was, he learns quicker than most of our classmates and he is almost to Mari's level in configuration of machines. He even defeated a GINN in his first experience with the Strike." The black haired seventeen year old explained.
The second in command nodded, "Even though he is a Coordinator and skilled at piloting that machine it still doesn't negate the fact that he's a civilian."
After a few moments of silence the three's machine alerted them that there was an incoming hostile. They looked up to see an explosion from the top of the colony. Jude's eyes widened at the sight a CGUE fly through the explosion and towards the unequipped Strike. "Incoming enemy!" he yelled into a comm link alerting with Kira, "You better quicken the pace over there. Kent and Jacob protect the Strike and the rest while I buy Kira some time." With that the Unicorn sped to the mobile suit with a beam saber and a shield in its grasp.
"You heard Jude, protect the Strike," Kent said to Jacob as the Airmaster walked over the half equipped Strike, "I'll protect the civilians and David."
"Got it," the seventeen year old got ready his shorty beam rifle.
With Rau Le Creuset
Upon successfully entering Heliopolis via explosion, the masked man quickly took in his surroundings. In an area below him he was five mobile suits in a clearing. 'There were more of those G-weapons, interesting.' he thought to himself then dashed towards the said machines. Not long after the Unicorn met up with his CGUE and went for an attack. Easily dodging said strike, Rau shot at the white gundam, hitting its shield.
Mu then came from behind and fired at the ZAFT machine's back. Quickly evading the shot Rau pulled out his heavy sword and dashed at Mu, slicing off the Moebius Zero's linear gun. Rau was then attacked by the Unicorn's beam saber which cut off one go the CGUE's legs. The masked man grunted as he shot at the white mobile suit that blocked it with its shield. "It's fast." He commented. "There will be no chance to destroy one of these machines but," the blonde spotted the Strike which was still not ready, "I may have a chance to at least damage that one." Rau then rapidly shot at the Unicorn making it back away, when there was a good enough distance between them, Rau Le Creuset quickly shot at the Strike.
Upon seeing the shot made by Rau, Kira quickly got the pack on and defended David, Murrue and his friends. This barely did any damage since the he had the Phase Shift Armor on.
"That must be the Phase Shift Armor,' Rau Le Creuset said, "Then I must fire with an enhanced APSV."
But before he could do anything else a huge explosion occur a good distance in front of him. Through the smoke come out a huge ship. Everyone that was watching the explosion looked on in confusion and amazement.
"The Archangel." Murrue said in astonishment.
