HAHA This Chapter has been sitting on my PC for ages, so I finally thought I'd upload it!


A large white cloud hovered gently in the sky above Hell's Gate. The cloud's puffy edges touched the sky delicately, until a particle beam tore through it and hit a Jet Dagger L on the other side. The battle for Miranda's Hell's Gate Base was in full swing, Orb had committed some of their best pilots and a large number of their new model Mobile Suits to the attack. The Archangel arrived at the battle site. The two sides fought heavily, Hell's Gate's defence forces consisted mostly of Dagger L and Dagger 105s using Aile and Jet Striker Packs to defend the sky, while Dagger 105s with the Launcher Striker Packs defended the base.

"Miriallia put me through to Hell's Gate's Commanding Officer" ordered Murrue. Moments later the face of an Omni scientist appeared on the main screen.

"Captain Ramius" The man nodded "I am glad you arrived in time" he smiled.

"Not a problem, we are launching our Mobile Suits now," Murrue extended her left arm so Mwu could see it, he discreetly issued the sortie orders to Seiei and her squadron "If you will transfer jurisdiction of your defence forces to our CIC we will coordinate our combine attacks" ordered Murrue.

"Understood, transferring Communication Protocols and Jurisdiction to your CIC" the commander pressed a few keys on his end.

"Received. Ok Seiei there is a dense area of bush to the north west of Lake Rotorua, we need you to clear a beach head for us and you might as well do it there" ordered Mwu

"Ok people you heard the Commander" Seiei closed her visor "Let's do it!" Seiei's Gundam was dropped into the catapult.

"APU online" Murdock called out over the intercom around the hanger. "Contact with the catapult confirmed" Seiei went through her final pre-launch checks "GAT X111 Defender can go and launch"

"Roger that, Seiei Kofun, Defender heading out!" the grey Gundam took off and its twin multiphase cannons slotted up into their firing positions. The other Gundams formed up on Seiei, Ensign Todd's StrikeR also formed up.

"Lieutenant Kofun, your training did not cover geothermal terrain…watch your back" ordered Mwu.

"Understood sir!" nodded Seiei as Defender and the others made land fall. Within seconds of them landing, two Astray units jumped from behind a geothermal steam vent and tried to slash Defender with their beam sabers.

"En guard!" Dante dashed in front and blocked the attacks with his Anti Ship Beam Sword. Titan came upon the enemy suits and unleashed a volley of its chest mounted gatling gun, the pellets ripped through one of the suits, causing it to fall to the ground lifeless. "HMPH!" Dante forced the Astray out of the deadlock, he spun Marauder around and shot through the units cockpit with his beam pistol.

"Above you!" Li's voice came over Seiei and Todd's speakers as two Murusame did a booming run.

"Gamzatov Multiphase cannons, full dispersion!" the backpack mounted Multiphase cannons fired a fan like beam, the energy was not concentrated enough to damage the Murusame, but enough to cause the missiles to explode. "Todd," Seiei turned around, "the Murusame, take em down!"

"R-right" Lifting the High Impulse Cannon into place, Todd waited for the targeting reticule to lock onto the agile fighters. 1 second, 3 seconds, 6 seconds passed before Todd had a lock.

"No…he can't be" Seiei blinked in disbelief.

"Using the targeting computer" Danel sighed from the Pilots Lounge on the Archangel. "Oh shit…" Danel couldn't watch the screen anymore.

"TSH!" Seiei raised her wrists and began firing her wrist mounted lasers; they were built in Dagger L pistols so it took a few shots before Seiei could destroy them. "Todd, listen up, I want you to disable Launchers targeting computer." ordered Seiei.

"But-"

"Go manual; we can't afford the lock on time. And for God's sake, use the Vulcan Guns in your shoulder pod if were facing Murusame" Seiei sighed as she looked over the battle field. The red head scanned the area in front of her Mobile Suit for allied units. "No friendly suits detected in the Line of Fine" her Gamzatov Multiphase cannons slipped up along her back, and then locked over onto her shoulders. A fan like firing arc appeared on a small screen, "Clearing beach head!" Defender's Gamzatov and Scylla cannons fired into one large stream of energy that slowly cleared away the trees as Seiei arced around. The heavy beam faded and the Gamzatov cannons slid back into their places. "Engaging power rebuild, time remaining 1.20 minutes"

"This is Titan, beach head created. Moving to secure!" The yellow mobile suit extended its right arm, the larger 'Right Arm of Atlas' locked over it, the second and third knuckles separated and a Schlag high energy beam cannon similar to the one used in Calamity moved out. Li fired six shots into the dense bush, another Astray exploded and several mines also exploded. "Beach head secure!" Li communicated the situation to Mwu.

"Roger that, sending in VTOL" three Vertical Take Off and Landing transports moved in and landed in the beach head area. Omni's additional Dagger L units armed with a Doppelhorn and Sword Striker Packs moved out of the transports.

"Bandit squadron will now move ahead to secure Hell's Gate!" rallied Seiei as her squadron moved out.


"They are able to hold off our forces?" Cagalli stopped along her walk and turned to the aid that had just bought her the news.

"Yes, it appears the Archangel and the Alliance's new Mobile Suit Squadron has been deployed along with a number of carriers" explained the aid.

"Can we divert any more of our forces to aid in the attack?" asked Cagalli as she began to head to the National Defence Head Quarters.

"The Inari and a Ninigi are 4 hours away" explained the aid as he looked over his datapad.

"What about the Sanada?" asked Cagalli as she stopped in her tracks. The blonde looked at the towering radar dome of the National Defence Head Quarters. "Her Aerospace wings, are they operational?"

"Ugh," he quickly checked on his pad "yes ma'am, the Sanada's wings are active, though the majority of her fire control systems are not"

"Damn" Cagalli bit her lower lip in frustration. "Have our troops with draw immediately, we will prepare for a second assault, redirect the Ninigi, Inari and the Sanada move to our staging point once they have resupplied" Cagalli began to walk into the NDHQ, she stopped one step from the door and turned to her aid "and make sure the Sanada's Positron Cannons are operational…" Cagalli entered the NDHQ with out another word.


Three Astray units fell around the Bandits, two exploded in violent orange balls while the other just shut down. The Bandits had claimed a high ridge near the base "Hmph, what a waste" sighed Seiei, her sirens then beeped as three Astray-Kai units came from below the ridge firing their beam carbines over and over.

"Scatter!" barked Seiei, her squadron jumped in different directions, Li's "Left Arm of Atlas" opened up its knuckles to reveal a Light Wave Barrier, the field was able to block the shots being fired at her suit.

"Phew" Li breathed out and looked to her sides to confirm her fellow pilots were ok, one of the three Kai units had gotten in close quarters with StrikeR on the edge of the ridge.

"Oh shit" Dante moved to help but was pinned down by fire from three Astray units hovering with their Shrike Packs.

"Ahhhh" Todd looked around for options, he had no where to go, he couldn't use his High Impulse Cannon at this range either, so he grabbed his Combat Knives and readied to fight.

"CAPTAIN! The Bandits are being pinned down by enemy Mobile Suits, StrikeR is in grave danger" Dallida read off his display.

"What? Oh no" Murrue looked pale "Get them support now!"

"Ma'am, the main Cargo Doors are opening…" The main doors at the front of the Archangel slowly opened, only ever used for loading large amounts of supplies at once. A blast of energy came through the doors as they opened, singeing the sides. The blast of energy went between StrikeR and the attacking Astray.

"What was that?" Seiei turned around in her Cockpit to check.

"At such a range…" Li squinted into the distance.

"Heh, you finally came" smirked Dante as Danel shot out of the main hanger doors on the Archangel and started cruising along the flat ground towards the Bandits position.

"RAH!" Todd lunged forward, stabbing one Combat Knife into the attacking Astray's Beam Carbine and the other was broken off by its shield.

"Tsh! Bastard!" the Kai pilot drew his sabre and slashed off Todd's arm carrying the Combat Knife.

"Shit" the white arm fell to the floor and slowly lost its phase shift colours.

"It's all over now!" smirked the pilot as he drew back his sword.

"TODD!" the compartment attached to Scout's left hip opened up to reveal a rail pistol, Danel drew it and fired three bolts, the three shots were dead on centre and tore apart the enemy Kai's chest section. Scout landed on the ridge next to Todd's suit, using its Ringo Cannon, Scout dispatched one Kai unit and forced the other to retreat.

"Danel…" the other Bandits quickly formed up on Danel's unit.

"Sorry for the wait, but I couldn't sit back and do nothing…" smiled Danel as he looked at each one of his friends Gundams.

"Understood" smiled Seiei, opening her visor to wipe away a tear. "Todd, your unit is damaged, return to the Archangel" ordered Seiei as she closed her visor again. "This is going to be hard, those Kai units were able to pin us down…is that the extent of the Kai's power…or was it the pilots own abilities…" Seiei lost her self in thought for a moment.

"Seiei look!" Danel pointed forward with his Gundam's hand, at the retreating Orb forces.

"They're pulling out…but they almost had us on the ropes" Li looked around at the Orb troops taking to the sky. Titan's pilot noticed a few streaks in the sky "Oh shit, Missiles incoming!" Li held up her Right Arm of Atlas and began firing her cannon at the missiles.

Danel checked through Scout's scope "Shit she's right!" Danel then opened up with repeated shots from his Ringo Cannon, Seiei and Dante joined in with their beam weapons, destroying a good number of the missiles heading for the base


A large amount of the missiles were shot down by the Archangel and her Gundams, but many more hit the MIRANDA facility, crippling it. Walls had collapsed in all over the base, a low cloud of smoke and dust lingered at waist level in nearly all the corridors. The Bandits walked through the halls with their flash lights trying to find survivors.

"If anyone alive in here?" Li called out, only to be met by her echo.

"We are from the Archangel of the 2nd Fleet" Seiei called out, shining her light down the corridor.

"Don't be too loud, you might cause a cave in" Dante walked past the two girls. Danel was right on the darker skinned boy's tail.

"Pft, what a snob" Seiei gripped her flash light and continued walking.

I hate doing it, but I went back and Retconned Chapter 5, Cerulean, Scarlet and Viridian are not 'Gundams' like the Alliance's four units, they are part of a Custom Unit program like the Knight of Rounds units from Code Geass R2. Stingrays were also renamed Astray-Kai units (Or Kais for short)


Semi rushed ending but I had no idea how to finish it right... well...hope you enjoyed it!
