Chapter three: Divine Intervention

5:55 Am the following morning

Heliopolis Shipyard-Archangel Bridge

Murrue stepped on to a seeming empty bridge to find Yzak and Dearka waiting for her.

"What is going on guys?" she asked innocently.

Dearka just sighed, "There is a whole fleet of Earth Forces ships coming this way and they are not friendly. Mir was able to get a hold of the Kusanagi as they were already underway. And Zaft responded rather quickly."

Murrue cocked an eyebrow, "And are they coming?"

Yzak nodded, "The chairwoman is coming herself on the Eternal. Meaning Kira is gonna be right there with her."

Murrue smiled, "What about the crew and additional Mobile suits for the Guardian?" she asked.

"The Kusanagi is bringing the crew and your sons' Murasames. The Eternal is bringing two Mobile suits as well as a few volunteers." Mir answered.

"Oh great. All four of my kids on the same ship at the same time and three of them are pilots." Murrue huffed.

"Well judging from how they acted yesterday I don't think they're kids anymore." Dearka explained.

Yzak nodded in agreement, "Marie saved you yesterday, and she also saved our families. Rue saved us from an impossible battle."

"I see why now…." Murrue began, "Why she had it built. A ship that only fired when it had too, the perfect defensive weapon, a keeper of peace. A Guardian Archangel."

Mir stared at Murrue for a moment before speaking, "You mean it is a Protector?"

Murrue nodded, "Orb just built a battleship for the Silver-Wing peacekeeping organization."

"And it turned out to be an Archangel on steroids." Dearka quipped.

Mir shot her husband a death glare, "Don't jinx it Dearka please."

Murrue sat down in her chair snickering, Yzak rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to the screen.

"What??" Dearka shouted in confusion.

6:00 am

Guardian Caption's Quarters

Kiba woke to find Rue sleeping peacefully in his arms and smiled.

He gently kissed her forehead in attempt to wake her up, "Rue? Wake up sweetie."

Rue just slightly stirred, opened her eyes slightly and smiled, "Morning….what time is it?"

"Six o'clock Rue. It's time to get up." Said Kiba.

Rue just moaned in annoyance, "You know if mom found us like this she'd kill us."

"Let's talk about that later. And besides I don't think she would care as long as you didn't get pregnant." Kiba whispered in her ear, "We are not military. We are an independent peacekeeping organization."

Rue slipped out of her lover's arms and proceeded to small closet next to her desk. She pulled out her blue and steel-gray uniform and placed it over her desk.

"Going into battle in our colors huh?" Kiba asked playfully.

"Logos hit us without warning, I was wearing jeans, Arthur was still dressed in his black Zaft uniform, and Kyle, John and Kyo were in civilian clothes." Rue snickered as she pulled her oversized T-shirt off. Kiba turned beat red and got up to get his Uniform out of his duffel. As they got dressed they went over the events that were going to happen over the next few days. "You're kidding! Mom is coming to visit??" Kiba shouted dumbstruck.

"Yea she was suppose to come for the Guardian's launch ceremony. And with all that has happened…." Rue began to explain.

"She is bringing us reinforcements." Kiba finished annoyed, "At least dad is with her."

"My brothers are coming with the Kusanagi. Your aunt and uncle are coming too." She continued.

"How do you know?" was all Kiba asked.

"Rena is on my crew manifest." Kiba went Bug-eyed, "WHAT??"

Rue just smiled when she saw the reaction on her boyfriend's face.

"Come on the others are waiting." She reminded and headed out her door with him in tow.

Ryan sat in the mess hall eating his breakfast when Rue and Kiba walked in his direction.

"May we join you?" Rue asked in her sugar sweet voice.

Ryan just shrugged, "Suit yourselves it's your ship."

The couple sat in front of him, "So why are you here?"

"I want to put Logos down for good. Your team's mission is to protect the peace and destroy the terrorist. So if I help you my revenge will be complete." Ryan explained.

"I see. Well Counter-Terrorism is a form of peacekeeping it's just more forceful." Kiba stated. Ryan nodded in agreement, "So why are you here?"

Kiba hung his head a little low, "I'm tired of the world tearing itself apart over stupid things. My mom lost her family during the first Bloody Valentine war." Rue patted his back as if to comfort him.

"I know how she feels remember I lost…" Ryan began then stopped to look at a rather disturbing sight, "Aw what the hell!"

Kiba and Rue looked toward the hall and saw it, "Damn it Marie." The said in unison.

They saw Marie in her uniform (If you can call it that) it was standard uniform top but it was sleeveless and skintight and she wore a miniskirt black. Basically making Lunamaria when she was their age look like a church going girl. She caught the eye of every male crewmember onboard. Ryan, Kiba and Rue looked a way completely disgusted.

"Well I guess every one gets their own way. And she definitely got her way." Said a pleasant voice.

"Ah Nora hungry?" Rue asked.

The pink-haired girl just nodded, "No I just ate." Nora was the only other person not wearing a uniform besides Ryan. She was dressed like her mother, in a very respectable manner unlike Marie.

"She is lucky she only wears that aboard ship. She wears her proper uniform for inspections." Rue pointed out.

"Marie pilots her machine like a maniac. Yea I've heard of close support but that is a little to close with that much firepower." Ryan explained. Rue just shrugged, "That's why they call her machine Phoenix. My brothers are crazy too; Nick's mobile suit Sidewinder has four DRAGOON pods and an extra beam rifle. James's Zeal has twin anti-ship swords that unfold in flight mode like a pair of wings only with the beam end forward."

Ryan cocked an eyebrow in disbelief, "Wait all of your siblings have retrofitted Murasames??" Rue nodded, "Their like my dad Mu they have a need for speed. But all of us seem to have the knack to make the impossible possible."

"Oh speaking of…." Nora began as she pulled a folded piece of paper and handed to Ryan, "Message from the Eternal for you Ryan."

Ryan look confused when he read the message his jaw nearly drops.

"What is it?" Rue asked. Ryan just scratched his head, "Commander Yamato wants me to begin Kiba's and Nora's mobile suit training immediately."

Rue, Kiba, and Nora flinched. Rue recovered, "We have a few Simulators in the hanger if you need them. We only have two mobile suits onboard; Yours and Marie's."

Ryan nodded in understanding, "Let's get to it."

Learning to pilot turned out to be extremely easy for Kiba. Nora on the other hand took an hour or two longer because Ryan had to repeat himself until she got the hang of it. They were cramming months worth of basic training in the space of a few hours (talk about a crash course).

"I am so tired…..I need sleep." Nora whined exhausted.

Ryan kinda laughed at her, "Oh trust me the real thing is a lot worse."

Kiba shrugged, "Well we can afford to rest for thirty to an hour. We're not technically pilots yet."

"Well don't get to comfy that fleet is still out there. I need to go get ready. Remember if you can't hit your target keep moving so they don't hit you." Said Ryan bluntly as he walked toward his Hydra.

"Alright I'm heading to the bridge." "And me to bed." The twins replied.

Ryan looked back at them wondering, 'Their Kira's kids alright, piloting is in their blood. And Nora looks a lot like Lacus at that age. I wonder if they can go berserk as well.'
