Welcome back to Nautral Coordinator, I needed to take a break after that week long of writing nothing but Fanfiction chapters, but now I'm back, this will be a weekly thing now just to warn you cause I got other things I need to do, with that said I hope you all enjoy.


Chapter 7

Orb Zero Launches!


PLANTs – Tony

After receiving the info on my mission, I got into a pilot suit custom made for both the Orb zero and me, then made sure to read the manual on the Orb Zero a bit before heading back to the hanger to board the cockpit of the G-Weapon.

The cockpit itself was way different and more cozy than the cockpit of a GINN, it seems Clyne had put in a few personal touches to the G-Weapon to make it better than the G-Weapons made by the Earth Forces.

From having its own unlimited power source, to its own unique weapons such as its high power beam rifle hooked on the right hip of the unit and a solid blade outlined with beam and heat to make it be able to cut through even the tough Phase Shift armor.

I did a final systems check to make sure everything was in working order before looking out the cockpit window to see Clyne standing behind a window looking into the hanger before I heard his voice over the communicator.

"Complete the mission and return home, I am making sure you got that order." Clyne said, I could hear a bit of worry in his voice.

I smile a bit, "I will, don't worry I'll be back before you know it, just let Lacus know that as well." I said over the communicator causing the man to chuckle.

"With those words I can be a bit at ease now, just be careful." He said over the communicator before disappearing.

I look down the catapult as the hanger doubles both as a hanger and catapult, I check the boosters testing them a bit then relax a bit waiting for the green signal to launch, I hear the small beeps of a count down eying the panel showing the status of the launch before it turns all green.

I sigh a bit then stare down the catapult, "This is Tony Clyne, in the Orb Zero Gundam... Launching!"

Just like that the Orb Zero launches itself forward quickly out of the hanger and into the emptiness of space, it stops for a moment for me to look back at the PLANTs one more time before launching off in the direction of the 8th fleet to catch up with Athrun and the others.


8th Fleet – Mu

Mu sighs a bit as him and the rest of the Archangel have finally met up with the 8th Fleet, a location where they can transfer the civilians onto the Warship owned by Admiral Halberton so they can get a safe shuttle down to the Earth's surface.

The Archangel has also being given orders to return to earth to return to Alaska HQ to find out their new orders so Halberton has equip them with Skyrangers suitable for fighting on Earth as the Mobius Zero is more suitable in space.

But the problem is that it would seem that ZAFT forces are quickly heading their way with most likely the 4 G-Weapons that were stolen as well, all of that was coming their way and the 8Th fleet will most likely not have a chance against them so they are just there to give them more time.

However Mu wasn't really worrying about that, Kira as well as the kids have decided to stay with the Archangel so for now so they had at least something, but what he was trying to figure out is how to capture Tony without getting them or him killed.

"Um... Mu?" Mu heard his name getting called causing him to turn around to see Kira there.

"Oh Kira glad to hear your staying with us, we're gonna need everyone we can get." Mu said with a small chuckle.

Kira wasn't as happy about it but kept talking, "Is something bothering you Mu?" He asked his superior having noticed Mu's concerned look.

"You got me, in all honesty I am trying to figure out how to capture our Natural friend currently with ZAFT." Mu said rubbing the back of his head a bit.

"Oh you mean that GINN pilot from before, I am still confused as to why he didn't appear in those previous engagements." Kira said wondering why they would take a good soldier out of the fight.

"Who knows, but whatever it is we can't worry about it for now, but I still would like to find out some way to get him back to our side." Mu said.

"Well regardless I'll see you later Lieutenant, I need to go get ready for the engagement." Kira said causing Mu to nod being left to his thoughts as he got himself ready as the fleet gets in position.


-Murrue-

Murrue was on the bridge having a mixed feeling of running away from the battlefield and leaving the 8th fleet to fend for themselves, she didn't want to abandon the 8th fleet but that was the plan if things got too hairy.

She would have to put faith in everyone to protect the fleet and make it live to fight another day as the fighting quickly begins with the G-Weapons leading the party.


-Creuset-

Creuset smiled as he watched from the bridge of the Vesalius, today would be the day in his mind that the Three-Legged Ship would finally be sunk, their mobile suits plus the G-Weapons would be more than enough to overpower the 8th fleet.

Although they were taking a few loses on the battlefield in terms of the battle they were winning as more and more Earth Forces troops were easily taken out.

"It won't be that long before the Three-Legged Ship is taken out, even if they are just fighting to protect that ship it won't be enough to stop us." Creuset said with a small laugh as if this were some kind of game.


-Mu-

Although he hasn't engaged in the battle yet he was viewing it from a window spying on the GINNs currently fighting as he waits for the word to engage, "None of those GINNs is Tony."

Mu sighed a bit knowing none of them were as he fought the kid himself, the movements of the GINNs didn't even seem to match the movements of when Tony was piloting one of them, so he figured he wasn't in this battle as well.

"At this rate its gonna be forever until he comes back to our side." Mu said getting a bit frustrated with this as he watched the battle continue.


Outside the Battle -Tony

It was still taking me awhile to get to the battlefield even with the great speed the Orb Zero was showing to me, its boosters were of a higher output making the machine move very fast, maybe even faster than the other G-Weapons.

However I was close, enough so I was able to turn on a zoom in image of the battlefield through my monitors but something catches me off guard, the Vesalius and Gamow both fired their weapons at what seemed to be escaping ships which left me surprised and shock.

"W-What is Creuset thinking?! Those are people not wanting to fight anymore and yet they are just killing them off?!" I asked in anger, even though I had said a vow to protect the PLANTs, I couldn't help but want to protect the 8th Fleet leaving me in quite the position at the moment.

If I did attack it would be hard for me to return back to the PLANTs mainly because if they spot my Orb Zero they would shoot me on sight, so now I had to figure out what to do, my orders were to help Creuset defeat the 8th Fleet so I would have to follow them but I couldn't help but feel helpless once again at the sight before me.

He spots the Aegis and Blitz attacking the ships to the point they are immobilized or destroyed but the Duel and Buster are just attacking to kill, it was only a matter of time before the 8th fleet was completely destroyed.

Then I the back of the battle was the Archangel which the name was found out not long ago by ZAFT, regardless it seems the Archangel was fleeing to head back to Earth with the 8th Fleet acting as a shield causing me to frown a bit.

"Why? Why would the Earth Forces do such a thing, they are gonna get killed regardless!" I said to myself knowing Creuset will kill the fleet even if the Archangel leaves the battle.

"Tony can you hear me?" That voice was Clyne's voice what did he want?

"Y-Yes C- I mean father?" I was still getting used to the idea of having a family now.

"You see the battle before you right? This is how our war is currently leading to, a war of no mercy for either side, that includes innocent lives but as much as I hate these images my order still stands." Clyne said over the communicator.

I was silent for a moment then nodded, "Yes father, I understand." I said calmly.

"Stay strong Tony, you will be able to end this war soon enough." I nodded at Clyne's words who ends the conversation there.

I thought about the battle for a few more moment before I decide to follow Clyne's orders against my better judgment I gripped the controls a bit before launching into the battlefield.


-8th Fleet-

Athrun wasn't liking the fact that the Archangel was fleeing the battlefield so they headed straight for the capital ship to take it out and head straight for the Archangel.

Along with the rest of the G-Weapons, they all attacked the capital ship while trying to get past it but the other ships were causing problems for them as they keep getting attacked by cannon fire.

"This fleet won't give up! Why can't they just let us destroy that ship already and be done with it?!" Dearka asked over the communicator.

The Buster shot down another warship before moving on trying to be quick in getting to the Archangel while the others do the same before they see the Strike and the Mobius Zero shoot out from the Archangel.

"You finally appear Strike! Now I can get some pay back for my injury!" Yzak yells this in his cockpit.

The Duel heads straight for the Strike trying to take out the unit for pay back but the Strike blocks the incoming slash of the Beam Saber before retaliating with a few shots of its rifle which miss, the Duel counters back with a missed slash of the beam saber before the Strike flees with the Duel following right behind it.

The Archangel continues to descend into the Earth's Atmosphere as the fighting goes on, the Mobius Zero tackles with the Buster shooting it but not doing much damage with its mobile cannons but thanks to its speed able to avoid most of the Buster's incoming beams.

"Your not as good as Tony's skills!" Mu said as he quickly avoided the shots and keeps firing the canons of his Mobius Zero.

But then a stray beam comes out of no where and strikes on of the mobile canons of the Mobius Zero causing Mu to be surprised, the rest of the Creuset Squad and Earth Forces were confused by the sudden beam before something appears in view.

In the colors of white and black and moving faster than a Mobius Zero as it heads straight for the Mobius Zero firing another beam that hits another Mobile Canon.

Murrue stands from her seat in the bridge in disbelief, "A-Another G-Weapon?!" She asked aloud unable to understand why such a thing appeared.

Mu and Kira were equally surprised before Mu said over the communicator, "That is him, only one person would be able to take out those canons with such precision and thats Tony!"

Mu focused his attention in fighting against two G-Weapons now as the unknown unit suddenly puts aside his rifle then pulls out the blade out his blade plus a shield then charges at the Mobius Zero.

"Lets see you be able to get me this way!" Mu said as he moved the Mobius Zero upward but the G-Weapon activate another set of boosters built to its legs that made it keep up with the Mobius Zero.

"A unit based off speed and maneuverability, its perfect for Tony's fighting style but its bad for me!" Mu said as the unknown unit slashed and destroyed another canon.


-Tony-

I couldn't believe how easy it was to pilot the Orb Zero, it had boosters on most of its limbs allowing it to maneuver and catch up to targets no matter what direction they went, it was something that he liked piloting as he destroyed a third canon with his unit's blade then seeing the Mobius Zero back off.

"Nice moves Tony, I'm surprised they granted you with such a weapon." Mu said over the communicator as he backed off.

I smile, "That isn't the only thing Mu, I feel bad for not stopping Creuset for destroying those fleeing ships but I got my orders, I hope you can respect that." I say over the communicator.

"None at all, but I need to get back to the Archangel." Mu said as he backed off the fire his remaining canon at the Gamow quickly which was after the Archangel before backing off then heading back to the Archangel.

I move away eying the Duel taking on the Strike then moving around the battlefield switching the sword for the unit's beam rifle then firing at the warships, the beam rifle wasn't a joke, it did quite a bit of damage on the warship making it tear in half from the other damage it took before it sinks.

Then the Gamow starts to head straight for the capital ship, I was wondering why the Gamow decided to do that move in the first place then I spot a shuttle starting to head toward Earth from the Earth Force's capital ship.

"Could that be civilians or people who aren't soldiers?" I ask, I had to give the captain credit, he was good man sacrificing himself for even civilians.

"Tony is that you?" Athrun asked over the communicator as I watched the scene, the Aegis moved near the Orb Zero.

"Yes it's me, sorry for being late guys." I said over the communicator.

"It's fine, you will need to tell us what happened after the battle" I nod then look down at the battle.

"That is enough though, at this point there is no point in keep fighting, the Archangel isn't worth it at this point." I said over the communicator causing Athrun to slowly agree.

The Gamow and the capital ship start to burn up and blow up from the re-entry killing everyone on board, I frown at the scene a bit seeing the Gamow's sacrifice in vain but I eye the shuttle heading back to Earth.

The battle between the Strike and Duel pulls them both into the Earth's gravity pulling them down to the surface but the two still battle it out but as the Strike pushed the Duel out of the way the shuttle suddenly gets infront of the Duel.

I quickly aim my rifle at the Duel's rifle, "Yzak, this is Lt. Tony Clyne! Do not fire at that shuttle!" I say over the communicator

The duel waits for them to pass as he tries to fire but turns to aim at the shuttle, I had to take the shot I fire my beam rifle right into the Duel's rifle destroying it in the Duel's hands.

"Tony! Why did you do that!?" Yzak shouted at me in anger.

"Those was civilians Yzak, do you want to be like the Earth Forces?!" I shout back at him through the communicator which shuts him up as the shuttle moves safely back to the Earth's Surface but the G-Weapons were still going back to Earth.

I sigh a bit then turn to Athrun, "I'll see you back in the PLANTs, I'll explain things to you then, but I got orders to return after I'm done here."

"Alright Tony, see you have at the PLANTs." Athrun said back to me.

I nod to Athrun a bit then stare at the debris filled space before launching off toward the direction of the PLANTs, I felt guilt for not trying to help the Earth Forces but I had to keep going.

Next time on Natural Coordinator:

Tony begins to second guess his decision to protect the PLANTs but still desires to protect it at the same time, but after the battle over the Earth Sphere it has changed his view a bit, regardless though now he is the son of Clyne having to help his new family in terms of politics but slowly begins to learn Zala's real plans for this war and how it will end.

Next Chapter: Who To Protect?


End of Chapter!

Sorry for the short chapter, but regardless I think this gave you something to enjoy regardless, but in my opinion I enjoyed writing about the Orb Zero's first battle.

What do you think of the Orb Zero's appearance? Let me know in a review or message.

Also at this time I wanted to tell you why I made this story:

The main Reason I am making this story was because I wanted something different on fanfiction, not a story about romance or dream pairing, but more of a fanfiction about this world we come to know, a new adventure, a new story, or a different point of view of things.

That is the story I like reading and the story I want to write, so I hope this encourages you to do the same as I would love to see more of these kind of stories.

With that said I hope you all have a good day, see you next chapter!
