Here I am again to present another chapter of my fanfic, Fates Crossed. Enjoy reading!! :D :D :D


[HRL Military Fleet]

"Don't let them push us back!" The captain roared

"Reload the cannons! Where in the world is Soma!? I need status on our Mobile Suits right now!" The captain ordered to the crew

[BATTLEFIELD]

The smoke engulfs both sides as explosions resounded everywhere, in the blue sea below, the Mobile Suits lay waste. Yet even at this situation, advancement is only measured by yards. The captains of the both sides yet still order more attacks. And more innocent lives are sacrificed

"Damn it!" Kira felt despair as in front of his eyes, a Mobile Suit explodes and falls, he can't help but to remember the days when his friends from war. He remembers Flay's smiling face, destroyed in a split of second when her ship was shot. He remembered Nicole when he sliced the Blitz in half.

"I will find away to stop this… "Kira made again a firm resolve. He maneuvered the Freedom deeper into the battlefield.

"Ha!!" Shinn roared as the Impulse fires a beam towards the blitzing Exia.

Wasting no time, The Impulse fired several more shots towards Exia which in turn, evaded at maximum speed. Deciding that it's futile to use ranged weaponry, the Impulse got its beam saber and faced the Exia head on.

"Don't get cocky with me you bastard!" Shinn roared as the Impulse approaches

Exia was ready to meet the Impulse. Dual sabers at the ready, Exia met the Impulse at high speeds

Crossed Swords, Both Gundams illuminated the noon sky. The Impulse maneuvered at high speeds finding a weak point but the Exia was more agile.

"Damn who is hell is this guy?!" Shinn's anger reflected on Impulse's movement as it charged on aggressively towards Exia.

"This will end now." Setsuna's words transcended towards the very core of Exia as it prepares it's sword to meet the Impulse.

The spark of crossed saber and sword echoed throughout the battlefield. With gritted teeth, Shinn pushed the Exia downwards.

"Go down! Go down!" Shinn exclaimed as he pushes the Exia towards the sea.

Setsuna was calm and not breathing a word. At the right moment, the Exia broke free and was about to slash the Impulse's arm.

"Like I'll let you! I said don't get cocky with me you bastard!" Shinn screamed, activating SEED mode.

The Impulse then blocks Exia's attack with its rifle. Setsuna was shocked as he tears the rifle apart but leaving the Impulse harmless.

"Blocking my attack with a weapon… but it feels like it's not the same pilot." Setsuna muttered to himself while watching the Impulse with great interest.

...

"You! Just Die!"

The Impulse moved faster than Setsuna expected. Sabers at the ready, Exia prepared its defense.

"This ends now!!" Shinn screamed at the top his voice.

But as the Impulse draws closer, twin beam cannons was fired in between them.

"What the?!" Shinn said through gritted teeth.

"Kyrios…" Setsuna muttered as he looks from the side to see two aircrafts having a furious dogfight

"Don't you space out on me!!" Shinn exclaimed as he again puts the Impulse into maximum output.

On the other side, Kyrios and Savior plagued the skies. Beams were exchanged and sabers are met, Kyrios fired its missiles towards the Savior which in turn fired its twin beam cannons. The Kyrios sped up deeper into the battlefield with Savior following its steed.

"Oi oi, don't forget our mission." Lockon muttered grumpily through the Kyrios' radio

"I know I know how about you, maybe you ar-"Allelujah was cut short when a beam nearly missed his cockpit.

"Whoa! Don't get frustrated I'll be right there." Allelujah said smirking as the Kyrios fires its beam pistols towards the Savior.

"Tsk! This guy is good. And what are their Gundams? I have never seen those types before." Arthrun muttered to himself.

The Savior then reverted back to its aircraft form. Finding an opportunity to strike, The Savior sped up, and fired its beam cannons but was evaded. The Kyrios, also in its aircraft form, faced the Savior. The two Gundams illuminated the bright noon sky as blows were exchanged.

"So you want old style eh? Then let's do it old style!" Allelujah exclaimed as the tail unit of Kyrios fires its beams towards the Savior.

"Tsk, I have no choice!" Arthrun said as he goes into SEED mode.

Without warning, The Savior turned and changed its direction into facing the Kyrios head on. The Kyrios then activated its missile pods in retaliation but was easily evaded. Allelujah still smirking turned the Kyrios into its aircraft form and met the incoming Savior. But as they drew close to each other, both reverted back to their Mobile Suit forms and had their sabers meet again.

"This is going to take a while." Allelujah smirked as the Kyrios breaks free.

"Bring it on." Arthrun said with confidence as he turns the Savior again to its aircraft form.

"Geez that guy…" Lockon sighed as Dynames shoots down another ZAFT Battleship.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a beam was fired, and narrowly missing the Dynames' head. When Lockon turned to see where the source is, he saw the Zaku who had the girl pilot.

"Eh? You again, I told you already fighting you will bring only no good." Lockon said through the radio of Lunamaria.

"The heck do you care!" Lunamaria exclaimed as her Zaku pulls out its axe and charged towards the Dynames.

"Oi oi, that one dangerous weapon you're pointing me." Lockon said through his radio but found no reply.

"Not listening, not listening!" The Haro repeatedly said

The Zaku approached Dynames at great speed, using its sniper rifle; the Dynames easily shot the right leg of the Zaku which rendered it immobile. But Lunamaria was not to give up. Without warning, the Zaku throwed its axe aimed at Dynames' cockpit. Lockon was surprised but was able to defend it with Dynames' shield.

And I just polished this, you're asking for this lady, don't blame me." Lockon sighed as the Dynames aimed for the Zaku's chest.

"Oh Shit, I'm sorry Meyrin..." Lunamaria closed her eyes.

As the Dynames fired its rifle, a shield was thrown in front of the Zaku, deflecting it and hitting a nearby Goof.

When Lunamaria opened her eyes, he saw the Impulse; one arm slashed and was fighting the Exia

"Setsuna! Are you all right?!" Lockon said through his radio

"I'm fine, provide fire support." Setsuna replied as the Exia blocks the impulse's saber.

The Dynames then fired its rifle but Lunamaria maneuvered her Zaku and fired its beam cannon towards the Dynames forcing Lockon to evade.

Lunamaria! Are you all right?" Shinn asked through the radio

"I'm fine, thanks for saving me." Lunamaria replied.

As they both turned, they saw Exia and Dynames together.

"I will protect you Lunamaria." Shinn said through the radio.

Just as the Exia and Dynames were to attack, a combination valiants and beam cannons were fired in between.

"What the?!" The 4 of them said in unison.

When they turned to the source of the beams, they saw the Freedom together with the Archangel

"Stop this fighting." Kira said to himself.

"Exia, one of our targets has appeared and is now showing aggression, orders?" Setsuna said through the radio.

"Leave him be, and your current mission?" Sumeragi replied.

"Completed, both sides have ordered a retreat." Setsuna continued.

"Very well, your work there is done; head back for debriefing and relay that order to the others." Sumeragi ordered

The Freedom braced himself for an attack but the Exia and Dynames turned their backs towards the Freedom as they escape the battlefield.

"We gotta go lady." Lockon said through the radio of Lunamaria

"Like I care you coward!" Lunamaria exclaimed back.

"Seesh what a grumpy girl." Lockon sighed

"Lockon, provide fire support to the Kyrios." Setsuna said through the radio.

"Tsk! I have to help Shinn and the others!" Arthrun thought as he evades the beams fired by the Kyrios.

Then without warning, A beam was fired out of nowhere, hitting the Savior's leg. Arthrun bewildered, tried to look for the source.

"Let's go, our orders are to retreat." Lockon's voice was heard through Allelujah's radio.

"What?! Oh well I guess we have to fight again next time." Allelujah sighed as the Kyrios turned into its aircraft form and followed Exia, Dynames and surprisingly, Virtue who was not seen on battle.

"Tieria! Where have you been?" Lockon asked but found no reply.

...

The Freedom looks at the 4 retreating Gundams with questions flooding his thoughts. He then turned to the immobilized Impulse and Zaku.

"Just what are their true intentions?" Kira thought as he heads the Freedom back to the Archangel.

"Shinn, are you all right?" Rey's voice was heard through the Impulse's radio

"Nice going Rey, I almost died because of you!" Lunamaria exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, anyways let's go Arthrun is already there, his Gundam has also been shot." Rey continued.

[Archangel]

"Celestial Being….what are their intentions?" Murrue thought.

"Stopping wars with armed conflict…is their way?" Cagali as she bangs her fist through the wall

"That's just an idiot's logic!!"

[EAU Joint Command; Phantom Pain Division]

"Sir, it seems that the 4 Mobile Suits that began engaging both sides have now retreated."

"And when the work is finished, the retreat….as I have said how classy they can get? Celestial Being." Neo smiled

[Minerva]

Shinn was raged.

"Damn it!" Shinn muttered.

"Just who the hell was that guy? He thinks he can do all things because of his Mobile Suit?! He needs to go down and next time I will make sure he will!!"

Arthrun was reflecting on his battle with Kyrios.

"Just who was that? Their weaponry is not of ZAFT nor EAU…is this really Celestial Being?" These words filled Arthrun's thoughts.

[Azadistan Imperial Palace]

The Battle was unfolded before Marina's eyes, he saw the carnage and death but he also saw the Freedom. With a firm resolute, she knew what she had to do…

[Azadistan Military Meeting]

"We will support the Freedom's forces…" Those words shocked the entire military command

"Mobilize the army, and try establishing a connection with the Freedom's battleship." Marina continued with a firm voice…


Azadistan supporting the Freedom's faction?

Shinn finds a new rival!

Kira still looking for answers...

Look forward to the next chapter!! :D :D :D
