He will be introduced in this chapter, I assure you. So without any further ado, Phase 04 is here.

Phase 04: The Songstress

The Artemis base was bristling with ships as the pilot Ostersund-Jorgensen was supervising them. To his right, was a familiar blond that resembled ZAFT's top ace, only he is wearing a different uniform. To his left was the incompetent Rear Admiral called Garcia.

"So, we have found out that my younger brother has visited us, didn't he?" the figure asked.

"Well, he was the one that led the attack on us." Garcia replied. "Comrade Admiral, you can defeat him. But don't pursue him to join us. He has the Konoha Freedom Front in his tail."

"Like I'd worry about that. Besides, the Konoha Freedom Front would be targeting us as well, since I am comrade Naruto's older brother." Hiroshi Namikaze replied back as the gigantic ship came into view. "We have ninety nine of these, right?"

"Yes, but we also have to make an alliance with the Sahakus." Ostersund-Jorgensen said as Alexei Romanov showed up. "What is the news?"

"Well, Rondo Ghina Sahaku is dying to meet you, comrade Admiral. He thinks that your skills rivalled that of comrade Admiral Tukhachevsky." Romanov replied. "One would know that he would be arranging a match wedding for you and comrade Mina."

"The Sahakus are a bunch of aristocrats, but they sure know how to deal with the proletariats." Hiroshi said. "I can't wait to meet her."

Garcia then looked at him. "You will meet her and get them to join our cause. We can't get Kira Yamato to join, but we still have you as our ace as well as young Canard Pars."

"I'll be his mentor. Besides, I've been working on some specs that will be needed to be included in our ships." Hiroshi replied again as he looked at the horizon. "Naruto will need to know the truth about his brother."

"How did it go with your life anyways, comrade?" Romanov asked.

"I was born in a place in the Arctic just like my brother. Well, actually, it's in a village that is filled with ninjas. That would explain my hitai ate that I carry around." Hiroshi explained as he walked back towards the giant ship. "My parents made me into the ultimate warrior on the same class as Kira Yamato, but I have these senses. To make this story short, I wasn't wanted in the village where my father was from because of its pro-LOGOS policies."

Romanov then followed him as he paused. "A lucky thing that you have joined us. Tell me, the majority of the people in SRLU are from the Hidden Continent, is that correct?"

Hiroshi paused for a second, then answered. "Yes, but there are very few from Konoha. That is where my father is from."

The secret organization looked at the giant ship as the crew saluted. It would be only a matter of time before they will enter into the fray.

The ZAFT fleet that were supposed to guard the Silverwind were in a phase where they would wait for further instructions. After hearing that Naruto went to the PLANTs with Le Creuset and Athrun, the second in command, which is a reluctant Shinosuke, took charge of the fleet's command. AS the Supreme Council sat down in the chamber, they were listening to the reports on the destruction of Heliopolis.

"And that concludes my report on this matter." Le Creuset said as he looked around. "Are there any questions?"

Patrick Zala then stood up. "What is the status of the five prototype frame ashtrays that were captured?"

The masked blond man didn't have any answers whatsoever, but he did respond. "They were sent to a man called Alexei Romanov and his top secret organization."

"Do you have any idea about what are they going to do with the machines?" Patrick asked again. "If we handed it to the wrong person, we had just signed the death warrants for our own deaths."

Le Creuset then started to think. "I think that they would have an edge on the top secret organization. But I may think about one scenario."

"And that is?" Tad Elsman asked.

"We may have a possibility of discovering yet another lost connection to Commander Namikaze." Le Creuset said as Naruto tensed up. "We don't have any information on his family lineage, but I can think of one possible solution."

"Oh, and that would be?" Siegel asked.

"If we can get Commander Namikaze to see the lost connection to his family. Be as it may, they are prime targets of the Konoha Freedom Front, and anything bad for them is good for us." Le Creuset replied back. "To give you all the ideas of the mibile suits, I have brought in Athrun Zala and Naruto Namikaze on this matter."

Athrun started to give out the report as Naruto listened. "First, I would like to present the GAT-X303 Aegis..."

After the speech that Athrun gave out to the Supreme Council, his father then asked a question. "What about the mobile suits that remained in enemy hands?"

"The Reaper belonged to a member of the Konoha Freedom Front pilot called Neji Hyuga." Naruto answered instead. "The Strike remained in Alliance hands, as Athrun had reported."

Patrick then paused. He then gave a sigh as they looked at him. "Well, it looks like you all have to destroy this faction. They can be a danger to us, especially you, Commander Namikaze."

Naruto saluted as he responded. "Yes, sir. I will desstroy them, I won't go back on my word."

The Supreme Council then nodded as Naruto then left the chamber. Patrick and a woman called Ezalia Joule then spoke up. "It certainly looks like he's got a sense of loyalty."

"Yes, I saw that when I visited Yukigakure no Satou." Patrick replied as Yuri Amalfi then stood up. "What is it, Yuri?"

"Maybe Commander Namikaze can be a role model to anyone that remains loyal." Yuri said.

"I remember him saying that those who break the rules are scum, but those who betray their comrades are worse than trash." Siegel then said as everyone looked at him. "He was told that when he was a little boy."

"Yeah, in his hometwon that was reduced to nothing more than a viper's nest for such filthy Naturals." Patrick bursted out. "It's a good thing that he hates his hometown. Otherwise, we would be dead from the start."

Koyuki then paused as she looked around for the pilots. She was nervous as Shinosuke told her the mission.

"We areto guard the Silverwind in case Lacus gets lost or goes missing." he said. "We don't want her falling into the hands of theAlliance, let alone Konoha Freedom Front."

"I get it, Shinosuke. But we're jumping to conclusions here." Koyuki replied asthey were hanging around the hangar. "We just need to getthe Reconaissance GINN out there. You and Itachi can launch as back up."

"Understood." Shinosuke replied as he went inside the Blitzkrieg. "Well, wish me luck."

The Blitzkrieg then went out of the Exodia as Koyuki looked on. She then noticed the rest of the pilots gearing up and going into their mobile suits.

"Don't launch yet." she ordered. "We're to remain on standby."

"Yes, ma'am!" they replied back. Koyuki then went back into the bridge as she sighed in relief. Her Newtype senses clicked in as she sensed Naruto coming in to the ship. She went back to the hangar to see her lover coming off the Commando and embraced him.

"I'm back, everyone." Naruto said as he let go of her. "Well, what's the situation?"

"Let's see..., we're watching out for any possible interlopers." Koyuki replied as Rusty came up to them. "What is it?"

"There's a fleet of Earth Forces ships coming, and one of them has a prototype mobile suit." Rusty replied back as Yugito nodded. "Captain, is that true?"

"Yes, and the fact that the ships contain a couple of mobile armors and one prototype mobile suit that remained in Alliance hands." Yugito said as the ships went forward. "The mobile suit is identified as GAT-X111 Revenge, piloted by Sasuke Uchiha, who we didn't know has joined the Alliance."

Naruto then glared at the floor, instantly remembering the Uchiha that was responsible for his exile. "Damn that teme."

"Same with Commanders Uchiha and Asuka, Commander." Rusty replied as Koyuki looked at him. "Itachi can take him out in a hearthbeat."

Koyuki then paused as she went into the system and started to type. "If I can identify the mobile suit specs that the younger Uchiha is piloting, we can get either Naruto or Itachi to combat it."

They then were starting to plot some strategy to counter the Earth Alliance. It would be a long time before the happy moment was near.

Sasuke Uchiha was not a happy camper, even if he joined the Earth Forces as a reccomendation from Danzo in Ne. He stood in front of the bridge in his blue uniform and was supervising some mobile armor pilots.

"Well, are we going to counter those space monsters yet?" Sasuke asked the captain.

"Well, we are to report to the Archangel and resupply. They didn't get any supplies in Artemis because of those damned assholes. Eurasians, can't trust them." the captain replied. "I did hear that there was a ship that accompanied them, and it was chasing after the head of one team in ZAFT."

"That must mean we're close to that dobe." Sasuke replied. "I am also going to kill my brother and restore my clan."

"OK, but we have our top priorities first." the captain replied as a man with a bad attitude came up to them. "Mr. Allster, we'll be near the Archangel soon enough."

"We'd better be, so I can meet up with my daughter." George Allster replied back as they looked at the horizon and saw nothing so far.

Kira was already out in the Strike when he saw Neji flying beside him. They were getting the huge chunks of water for themselves as well as for the refugees, since they're short on the precious commodity.

"Do you copy, Kira?" Neji asked as the Reaper made a contact with the Strike.

"Yes, Neji. I copy." Kira replied as they were looking for the huge chunks of ice. After spotting the precoius commodity, they cutted through it and shipped some of it back to the Archangel. They did this for a few hours, until one of the crew had detected something.

"N-jammers increasing, ma'am!" Romero Pal yelled. "Radar interference!"

"Confirmed." Chandra replied. "Detecting two Laurasia-class frigates, emerginf from the debris field!" He paused until there was another detection. "Wait! There's those same ships that were in Artemis! The Firebolt, Lawrence, Exodia, Endeavour, and the Thunderbird!"

Jackie Tonomura then made his report. "Thermal patters. Twelve GINNs from the Laurasias, fifteen GINNs from those ships, five CGUEs, the Commando, Blitzkrieg, Vengeance, Guillotine, Ballista and Tsukuyomi on the spot!" He also paused as there was another detection as well. "Hold on! There's the Terminator, Tsurugi, Shinobi and Akagi. As well as a GINN High maneuver!"

Just then, the Goddess made a link with the Archangel. Kakashi's face appeared on the screen as Murrue looked up. "Captain Ramius, we have to fight these off!"

"I know, but we're limited in our fighting abilities right now, and our reinforements aren't coming for another couple of hours." Murrue said as the mobile suits engaged in the duel right now.

Kira found himself being surrounded by two GINNs as he flung the Strike into a weird formation. In the right timing, he fired his beam rifle and the GINN exploded. Neji on the other hand, found himself by three GINNs and the Vengeance as Rusty fired his beam rifle at him.

"For ZAFT!" Rusty yelled as he kept firing on Neji, whi just dodged every move until he came close. Before he could finish off the Vengeance, he quickly found himself chased by the Commando's gunbarrels as Naruto charged towards him.

The Reaper and the Commando then traded beam rifle shots as neither machine can overpower each other. As the mobile suits then traded garbs with each other, the Exodia was busy targeting the Goddess along with the other four ships.

"Tchaikovskys, fire!" Yugito yelled as the beam cannon fired at the incoming missiles from the Goddess.

"Valiants, fire!" Kurenai yelled as the linear cannon fired at the incoming ship, which dodged once again. "Load Corinthos. Fire!"

The missiles then came over as the laser clusters from the ship attempted to destroy it before it can wreck it. Both ships didn't notice one of the Laurasia frigate had exploded already, so Yugito then gave out another order.

"Turn twenty five degrees starboard and aim the Tolstoys at the Archangel." she said. "Fire!"

The missile launchers then aimed towards the Archangel as it got out its Igelstellungs to destroy the missiles. The attack was so close that the Archangel had fired its Helldarts back towards the Exodia. After seeing another Laurasia get blown up in the face of the F.L.E.E.T. team, the ships then gave out a retreat order.

"Man, I was getting close to kicking ass out there!" Rusty grumbled as he went back into the ship along with the other pilots. But what he didn't realize was that he can't find the Silverwind. It was lucky that Amaya had remembered where it was.

"Uhh, guys?" she said. "Do you know where is the Silverwind?"

Many pilots didn't know the answer. "Uh oh."

"What is it, Amaya?" Shinosuke asked.

"The Silverwind is a wreck, and the life pod is already retrieved by the Strike." Amaya replied back.

"Dammit." Naruto said as they returned to the ship.

When the Strike had retrieve the life pod that was stranded in space, the Reaper had accompanied it, along with the mobile armor that Maito Gai was piloting. It was only natural that the two pilots have to accompany the Archangel personally in identifying the passenger inside. When the hatch opened, a pink robotic ball had emerged along with a teenage pink haired girl that reminded the two Konoha Freedom Front pilots of a certain Haruno, only with a kindness that matched the Hyuga prodigy's cousin/heiress.

"Hello, you all must be the ones that saved me." she said as Neji looked at her with interest. "I'm Lacus Clyne and I am from the Silverwind."

"I'm Neji Hyuga, and my mentor here." he said as he gestured to Gai. "Is Maito Gai."

"Oh? So you must be related to Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, right?" Lacus replied.

"How do you know Naruto, Lacus-sama?" Gai asked. Lacus then sighed as she responded.

"My father has met him back in his home in the Arctic, which must have been hidden." Lacus replied back. "Speaking of hidden, is it true that you're pursuing the man?"

Neji then looked down on the floor. "Yes, we are looking for him. We are pursuing him the way that ZAFT is pursuing our resident pilot of the Strike." Neji replied as they accompanied the pop star into the office with Murrue in tow. When they arrived in the office, Neji again asked another question. "What is an important figure like you doing in the middle of space?"

Lacus then replied again. "You see, the Bloody Valentine anniversary is coming up, and I am a part of the committee to prepare for a special ceremony. Unfortunately, we ran into an Earth Forces vessel, so they demanded us to allow an inspection party on board."

Mu then got startled. "An inspection party?"

Gai then snapped his fingers together. "That makes sense, Mu. With a civilian ship prowling around a war zone, they are naturally suspicious that it may be a ZAFT vessel. So let me get this straight: Someone must have pushed you into a life pod and the Silverwind had blown up."

"Yes, that is what happened." Lacus replied as Gai shook his head.

"I'm guessing that the Earth Forces vessel that must have ran amook of the Silverwind might be the same one that the younger Uchiha is in." Neji replied. "Well, it also looked like that Naruto and his friends from Yuki no Kuni were also in the fray, trying to guard you, Lacus-sama."

"Exactly." she replied.

"Well then, you are a guest in this ship, but you're not to wander around unless you have an escort with you." Murrue said as Neji and Gai saluted to her.

An Orb ship that was traveling to the base of Artemis had arrived in time for the secret organization to inspect the ship. They gave recognition as the ship unloaded its passenger to reveal two fraternal twins with the same look on their face. One of them looked like a tyrant while the woman looked malevolent.

"Comrades Rondo Ghina and Mina Sahaku, I presume?" Garcia asked as they nodded. "Welcome to Artemis."

"Thank you, Admiral." Ghina replied as he looked for Hiroshi. He finally spotted him wearing an admiral's garb. "Well, it's not everyday that you get to meet your future husband, sister."

"Well, the way I look at him makes me feel that I am in love." Mina whispered as Hiroshi bowed to her and kissed her hand. "Such a gentleman."

"Comrade Mina, I am pleased to have met you. For we are working towards our common goal, is to work in solidarity." Hiroshi replied back. "I present to you all the might of the Social Revolutionary Liberation Union." He gestured to the huge ship or ships rather as ninety nine of them were bristling around the port with the guns blazing.

The situation gets worse as the songstress gets entangled in a messy situation. As one girl was about to lose someone precious to her, she tries to harm the songstress. But how will Athrun decide who to choose: his fiance that was taken hostage by the grieving girl or Naruto having taken his best friend hostage as well
