YO‼ Czar Joseph here and THIS is chapter 8 for this story! I just having my time regarding… *sigh*…my mistakes since I was bit rash when I took responsible for neglect for doing my errand in a unfinished stated. So far that I needed time for this to fix it up, and until I was hoping that needed to get things straight that is.
Not to mention I still under recovery from the donation since November 17, it's been sometime, anyway, hopefully that you guys did enjoy for the last chapter since then, and I'm sure that getting to much for needed to replenished some of them since I have been…drinking coffee, that is.
Now, during the last statement, I change my mind regarding one of the weapons in Quake 4 is transfer it to mobile suit-use, after all that it is best for having that weapon, and for the ammunition type will be selected such as the 76mm, or 27mm, or 120mm.
It will take me time for which ammunition for that certain weapon, and until now once it's ready. Hopefully, it will be the SEEDverse if I will be using GINN's Machine Gun's ammo, instead. Well since that weapon itself will be ready to be deployed soon.
And another subject regarding small arms, so far that it will be ready as well, I had everything list out once until then…
…But…walang problema!

NinjaFang1331: Once again, THANK YOU!
Anything else, and give me a break! Did you vote?
WolfCoyote: Thank you. It is about Naruto, Menma and Gaara were on SEEDverse, well, they are immortals after all since everyone they had known were faded in the sands of time.
And as for my Naruto x Assassin's Creed X-over story? I am not sure if I had time to continue.
That's understandable regarding your misspelled writings, and lastly, it sure is, it's already now on this chapter. And be sure to type it right.
Michael Bourne: Yeah, it sure does for Murrue regarding Naruto maybe looked young since being a immortal along with Menma and Gaara, it is true, they were 'very' far older than her and Natarle.
thor94: It really did a good battle.
Well, Yzak's Duel wasn't damaged since Naruto's encounter. It is total humiliation.
Oh yeah, it will like in the anime, and that includes I have other plans for this chapter. And yes, Naruto will first question to Murrue, Naterle and Mu about the Blitz's Mirage Colloid stealth technology will passed through the so-called 'unstoppable' umbrella of Artemis.
YeagerMeister31: Yeah, it sure is that Kira didn't use his head while in the battlefield if he took a rookie mistake for didn't bother looked at the power gauge the Strike uses.
Yeah, it sure does Naruto trashed just only Buster and Blitz, while the Duel is unscathed during the first encounter.
Guvyer (CH01) (∞): Yeah, I did change the original story due the LoDsIx's approval for borrowing his lines. Don't worry, it's not like the same, which I did adjust and altered the sentence.
And secondly…OH HELL NO! I will NOT to have a beta? Because, most of the beta readers had receive replied like 'Sorry, I'm busy' or anything responded that you like. So during my Naruto x RWBY Crossover story, I declined to my decision to find a beta, so it's a big no-no!
flo463 (CH01) (∞): NO WAY IN HELL! THIS IS MY DAMN STORY, AND IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS‼
IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY SO-CALLED 'GARBAGE'! THEN, FINE! DON'T BOTHER READING IT!
I WILL NOT REJECT IT, IF YOU ALL DO THAT, I WILL INSTANTLY UPDATED INTO A DIFFERENT WEB SUCH AS WATTPAD OR SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN'T STOP ME!
…if you didn't well-aware about there's the first under developed story involved with Kira x Lacus, I'm still under progress for the very 'first' triple Crossover: Naruto x Gundam UC x SEED.
I'm still under progress for the very first for a long time, which regards my fellow author GoldenGundamZero2 since he gave me an OC, just for 2-way pair than Harem, trust me. It will be a worth of challenge until its ready.
Noticed: I had received permission from LoDsIx regarding borrowing the lines of Maelstrom of Cosmic Era; because I will be revised and write this story and even this is a different one, of course.
Hope that you'll be expecting than this, due to my very experience of Gundam SEED, since the original was being announced, and I didn't have best time to getting all of the episodes, and includes Remastered version and the rest.
This story will be so~ epic…!

Now, during when the last few chapters about Tolle remain alive in the story? Well, just as because of based on the Storm Wolf Gundam SEED story, that is why I found a better choice for having that story is best choice.
And includes the Mercenary Fem. Kira of course, so far that she and Athrun were just only friends instead of love interests at each other since their separation, well, that includes wanted to brought out some characters regarding using demon visage such as the Noh Mask *spine shivers*. Well, I hope that there is someone else more than anything I was hoping for having it in mind.
Well, once again, I believe double-checking the last chapters I was hoping on since my mistakes that I was working on since the flow, itself. I'm sure that I won't make a mistake this time.
And…I will have another subject; it will be Christmas is coming until days away or right about now in December. I'm sure that having a great time, after all.
So far, I have got the feeling that things will be looking well until till New Year in 2019.
12/4/2018/11:22am – Recently, I've read an interesting Crossover story called 'Mobile Suit Titan SEED' by Giriko-99, a Gundam SEED x TitanFall Crossover story.
It's about Jack Copper along with his Titan partner BT being transported to Cosmic Era-verse, piloting a ZAFT Commander-use CGUE, customized it with Militia technology such as the modified machine gun that fires Arc bullets, along with some parts since his custom CGUE gain all-purpose since he had salvaged it, includes the shoulder-mounted rocket pods, Vortex Shield and includes Core abilities.
Since CGUE may be an awesome MS that ZAFT had built for Commanders or Aces. Most of the brilliant scientists in ZAFT thought to developed something like that when Jack had modified the CGUE with Titanfall-verse technology.
So far, I was bit fan of Titanfall that gotten my interests, since most other Crossovers I've read includes triple X-over such as TitanFall:Zero, a Naruto x TitanFall x Zero no Tsukaima Story, along with other anime being multi-verse such as AKB0048, so far the so-called DES had no chance against the Militia Frontier with their superior technology and weapons, includes the energy shield that the Titan has.
NOW MOVING ON~! In other words, well, since this next chapter is about to start, but…
*I bend my head in the right-side like Lord Death in Soul Eater*
…Well, guess you will have to find out about this chapter of what was going on.
*Before raised both my hands*
Well, who cares…!
*Clap my hands before pointing them at you*
…Alright then, I guess you'll just have to see if it's work out!
*Lastly, pointed fingers at the screen*
…Now onto the story! Hell, it's about time.
Declaimer: I don't own Naruto by the famous Masashi Kishimoto and/or Gundam SEED in Sunrise.
[Chapter 08: Into Artemis & Free the Goddess - Part 1; Arrival of Isaribi of Tekkadan]
(Previously)
==With Athrun==
The Aegis locks onto the incoming MS, before its scanner take note of the Strike as a zoomed in image of the approaching Mobile suit appears on its display and Athrun properly takes it in.
"Kira…" He says out loud to himself.
==With Kira==
The Strike's scanners also bring up an image of its crimson brother unit, as they zoom in on the approaching GINNs and Aegis.
"T-That mobile suit… It's Athrun?!" Kira says eyes widen in surprised, cannot help but wonder to himself.
Seeing them made collide at each other with a loud thud, the Black MS grabbed the leg of the Bust, and it quick spun around before hurls the disable Buster to the other two.
Hovering in over them, the black & orange Mobile suit looked like a devil within their own eyes, about to judge them from their sins.
Until the Black Mobile Suit hailed them on the open channel, and so the the pilots of the stolen machines accepted the respond and listen to what the pilot will has to say.
["I'm given you this one chance only: Leave now or you'll be eliminated."] The mysterious pilot says offered.
"Who is the hell are you!?" Yzak asks angrily though the comms.
["You're worst nightmare…"] The Mysterious pilot responded.
The Strike's sensors alert Kira to this as he lets out a small gasp of realization is about to intercept.
["Kira!"]
A familiar voice calls over the Strike's communicator, ceasing his action of chasing after the two custom GINNs as he refocused back on the Aegis as the familiar face appears on the communicator screen.
"Athrun!?" Kira exclaimed as both G-Weapons faced each other.
["Stop it! Please, put your sword away, Kira!"] Athrun exclaim, plead with his best friend.
With Athrun onto Aegis' cockpit, and continues convincing Kira.
"We're not enemies! Am I right?" The blue-haired red-coat pilot concludes, and while Kira didn't answer to his best friend right away.
Both the Strike and Aegis continued to circle around each other, neither unleashing an attack on the other at the risk of harming their friend.
"Why do we have to fight against each other?" The blue-haired Coordinator asked desperately.
"Athrun…" The brown-haired Coordinator trailed, frowned, especially as he had a run-in with the Aegis right before the complete destruction of Heliopolis.
"You're a Coordinator just like us! So why would you want to fight against your own kind?" The pilot of the Aegis questioned, pleaded to his friend.
*Beep-beep!*
"Huh!" Ein tensed as he caught onto the monitor that indicate that the pilot of the tan-white mobile suit, as seeing it aims the assault rifle in hand in threaten mood, and so he respond, and guessing towards to the pilot of the enemy mobile suit.
["…Why you hesitate?"] The voice of the mysterious pilot of Gusion (Gaara), inquiring.
Ein looked startled at the cold question words spoken from the enemy MS pilot, by judging the voice that indicate that the pilot is male and young, about that Miguel had confirmed that he's about the same age as Athrun's and his fellow redcoats.
"I'm NOT on the mood for your questions, Natural! And are you the ones who took away our comrades with your own hands?!" Ein replied, outrages.
["…If I would for me and my companions decimated them, I will not allow you to pass me for destroying the Earth Forces warship under Le Creuset's Team."] The mysterious pilot of Gusion responded.
"Are you with the Earth Forces?" He demanded.
["…What if I'm with the Earth Forces, and I'm not with either those sides, and that includes ZAFT."]
"Are you a Coordinator or Natural?" Ein asked to the mysterious pilot.
["…"]
"ANSWER ME!" Ein exclaims furiously, didn't receive an answer.
["…"] The mysterious pilot had remained silent with no answer.
"Then face your judgment!" Ein exclaims, as he fires another missiles onto the GINN's right leg.
"Athrun! What's the big idea? Just what are you up to?" He questioned.
["I'm taken you to the Gamow."] Athrun replied.
"Get serious!" Kira retort exclaimed. "I'm not gonna set foot on any ZAFT ship!"
Kira tried to move his Mobile Suit in order to escape, due to the lack of power.
Hearing that from Kira's respond, Athrun narrowed his eyes in irritation at the brunette's naivete.
"You're a Coordinator! You're one of us, Kira!" He stated.
["NO! I won't join ZAFT!"] Kira says argue, angrily, obviously displeased with this course of action.
"That's enough, Kira! Quiet!" The blue-haired boy shouted harshly, having had enough of his friends' tantrum.
With Kira remain seated in the cockpit of the Strike, and while hearing Athrun's voice in the comms.
["Just let me take you. Otherwise…"] He hesitated, dreading the outcome he may be forced to take. ["Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to shoot you."]
And until he heard Athrun's voice spoke up in the comms, concludes.
["…I already lost my mom in the Bloody Valentine."]
Hearing Athrun's words told the brown-haired Coordinator the heart wrenching tale of his mother's passing. That made Kira silent gasped in disbelief as he had no idea at the fact Athrun's mother - Lenore Zala was among those who were killed when the nuclear missile from a Moebius MA had destroyed Junius 7 last year and he didn't know what else to say now that he is aware of that.
And that is the reason why Athrun had joined ZAFT in the first since that tragedy, Kira had finally understood regarding Athrun's choice entering the war.
The scene shifts into Athrun, with his expression mix between anger and depressed regarding that tragedy that time.
"So, I…!"
["Then I'm afraid, your life is forfeited. And I would have broken my promise to Kira."] The mysterious pilot (Naruto) replied.
Hearing that, that gains Athrun's interest with his eyebrow raised.
"What promise?" Athrun asks wondering.
*WHAM!*
Athrun was caught off-guard by he was knocked back by a kick of Barbatos direct into the chest, after broke out the clash.
["Asked him, yourself; and same goes with my comrades who keeping 'his' promise, as well."] Naruto's voice in the comms, replied.
Naruto's Barbatos raised the longsword pointed at the Aegis.
["Leave this battlefield, and this is your final warning. If you continue to pursue, I will annihilate you."] The mysterious pilot declared, as he swiftly flicks his longsword into the side, that gain to turns around and propels away from Athrun, with its thrusters in maximum speed, returning to the Legged Ship.
Leaving Athrun's Aegis floating in space, within his deep thoughts that seeing Barbatos in the distance towards to the Legged Ship, as he wonders what the mysterious pilot of the black MS had spare him because of the pilot he had made from his old friend.
'What did he promise to Kira?' Athrun asked to himself in thoughts.
"To Commander Le Creuset, it's from the homeland." A communication officer reported to Rau, handing the masked man a piece of paper.
The blonde Coordinator read it before handing it to Ades, who looked at the contents as well.
"They summoned us to the Supreme Council?" The black-coat captain inquires, as he takes the note, before looked at the message, which that made him flabbergasted before turns to Rau. "You're kidding! After coming this far and nearly cornering them?"
Shrugging at that, Naruto turns to Murrue and asked.
"Is there anything else, Murrue?"
"No, you and your brothers may go, Naruto. Please, get some rest. You all earned it." Murrue reply; now smiling at the whiskered blonde.
"Okay then, Captain. We'll take our leave." Naruto replied, as he turns to this group with a nod signals them to leave the bridge.
So one by one, as Naruto is the last person to leave the bridge, before turns and walk to the walk at the door to exiting the bridge, as he stops into his tracks before turning his head over his shoulder at Murrue.
"And you as well, Murrue. You also need some rest. Well, Good night, Captain Ramius." Naruto saying to the Archangel's acting-captain for pleasant night; and so with that, the blonde left the bridge, heading to his quarters for some rest he had earned.
Leaving Murrue just looked at the door where Naruto had left, and giggles lightly to herself. She shook her head and looks through the window at the empty space.
'Naruto Uzumaki, huh…' Murrue says in thoughts.

For now, the three immortal ninjas/Gundam pilots were earned their rest that they had deserve, while instructed their disciples to set up their operation along the way, if any of their leaders had side-tracked to prepared the 'Operation: Trojan Horse', so Isaac, Garet, Lincoln, and Ichika were setting the plans in order, informed the crew in Tekkadan regarding their operation.
Now, onto the bridge of the Archangel, Murrue was deep in thought. Even though, they had managed to repel the ZAFT forces and had made it to Artemis, she wondered how High Command would react to the fact that four of the G-Weapons were now in the hands of the enemy.
All the gratitude is being given earn to Naruto, Menma, and Gaara under Tekkadan's employment for assisted the Archangel and securing the last unit - the GAT-X105 Strike, since the last skirmish regarding the Aegis had captured Kira within the last G-Weapon, until Naruto had intercept it, after taken care of the remaining 3 G-Weapons were being repelled, and includes Menma had decimate the 5 GINN/AS.

Underneath his jacket, as a pistol holster onto his left side, the sidearm he has is a TA-01 Hybrid Pistol.

Instead of unlike to his old one when he was 11, since he 'left' home with Lily, knowing that he wanted to left the past behind. And includes, unnoticeable, had something on his back, which he needed to avoid being patted, hard.
Along with Ichika, who is also wearing casual civilian attire under incognito, considered being overwatch for keeping the citizens from harm, partnered with Lincoln? Knowing following the operation regarding Eurasian will attempt to do.

Since this is his first fight onto the battlefield, needed time to get used for him to under recovery for 'combat shocked' he has, regarding his nearly-death experience when he was closed out there, until then he is given therapies to calm his nerves.
Good thing that Menma help him for his mental condition since his first battle, if he would had taken to the infirmary for treated his condition, and so leaving the locker room for his deep thoughts to recovered from the first fight, while Menma and his brothers were heading to the bridge for having discussion with the captain.
Once after Kira stepped out of the locker room, and sighed as he sighs, as before going to his quarters. Outside waiting for the brown-haired Coordinator was Mu La Flaga.
"I forgot to mention this earlier." Mu said before wrapping an arm around Kira.
"Yes?" Kira asks confused.
"But put a lock on the Strike's activation program. Like I told Naruto and his boys will do the same." Mu says to the brunette Coordinator, as he lend at him whispered. "Make sure that no one can move it but you!"
"Sure…" Kira replied at Mu's instructions, knowing someone will not fall into their dirty hands on the Strike, knowing it was better to keep the plans of the G-Weapons (or Gundams) locked up rather than used to make imitations.
==Archangel, on the Bridge==
Murrue and Natarle stood at attention, wearing officers' caps, as the sliding door opens and in walked Eurasian Federation officers.
It's been several minutes due to arrival, while this operation according to Naruto under Tekkadan's leadership, along the way, so both female officers of the Archangel remain silent without getting suspicious, Murrue had ordered several of the crew (sans Heliopolis crew) to remain silence without saying anything regarding the operation formed by the Gundam pilots/immortal ninjas.
So, until Tekkadan got time to gear up, incase for extreme caution, and includes had them remain the trailer trucks and locked in, along with the three trucks that contains mobile suits accordingly to the three leaders of Tekkadan.
Now, both women salute the men, who in turn returned the salute. Seeing before them was Lieutenant Commander Biddaulph, came aboard almost instantly of the Archangel's arrival in the harbor, and just his demeanor alone was enough to put everyone on guard.
"Thank you, sir!" Murrue greeted the new arrival. "We're grateful that you've granted us permission to enter port."
As the exterior of the Archangel, as the warship turned 180 degrees, and then reversed sail to entered port.
==Enter Artemis==
Once the Archangel is now entering the Eurasian-controlled fortress, slowly reversed to dock in. The atmosphere within the Legged Ship was now very tense. Prior entering Artemis' docking bay, everyone on the ship had been expecting a warm welcome and assistance from their alliance.
So far, since the light-wave barrier 'Umbrella of Artemis'; considered the ultimate defense belt system. This energy field which blocks both physical and energy weapons. It is first used to protect an asteroid fortress and that where gain earned its reputation being unbreakable defense.
Until expecting after the Archangel was secured to the port in the moment after the docking clamps were applied, applied Moebius units and soldiers clad with space suits armed with assault rifles surrounded the ship.
"Captain!" Natarle called out, alarmed on what was happening.
"What's going on?" Tolle asked confused and a bit afraid as well.
"Well, Commander?" Murrue demanded, narrowing her eyes at the inspector, for wanted answers.
Murrue was expecting regarding Menma's prediction would come, she knew perfectly well that even though the Atlantic and Eurasian Federations were allies, there could be a chance that she and the rest of the crew would stab in the back.
"I must advise you, Captain. Please remain silent." The older man ordered the brunette harshly.
The crew of the Archangel gritted their teeth as this unforeseen situation as the Eurasian forces began to board the vessel.
==Archangel, Exterior==
The Eurasian soldiers of Artemis is now onboard the Archangel, rush inside, spread out in few groups to detain anyone who is onboard this vessel.
At the cafeteria/mess hall of the Archangel, the citizens of Heliopolis includes the ship's crew been remain in the area wondering what is going on out there, until the sliding door opens and voice shouts out.
"Okay! Freeze!"
The armed soldiers gunpoint at the civilians and also the crew of the Archangel, as several of them stood up before could anyone else had ask, until interjects theaten.
"Don't move!"
Lincoln and Ichika along with Kira and his friends sat at a table, had their eyes narrowed at the armed soldiers, as the white-haired boy places his hand onto the side of his neck and while the black-haired teen places his index and middle finger on the side of his neck.
['The Eurasian soldiers detain the citizens, while we were in. And until they'll bring the crew as well, anytime soon.'] Lincoln says in the mind, via Nano-communication.
['Roger that, sir, we're standing by, this is Sergeant Apone: out!'] Apone's voice replied.
Lincoln, along with his fellow disciples had implanted with nano-machines, since then besides the 'first' gift, since Menma had made a modification to add mental communications flows into their veins, so gain contacting their allies of Tekkadan until they were standby, while the cargo within the hanger act as one of the crates at Heliopolis.
As Lincoln glances at Ichika signaled themselves to link at each other.
['All had to do now…is wait.'] Lincoln advised.
['Not to mention Garet with the others hiding in the cargo on the Archangel's hanger.'] Ichika concludes, before saying brought out something. ['If those guys will stumbled into the important cargos were for you, Isaac, and Garet, knowing they will expecting for that. Knowing that 65% of the Eurasian on that station are or to think Russians: Paranoid, Power-hungry, and not to mention - very lonely.']
['Yeah, so there is a possibility that this encounter could get violent for all involved. But don't worry; they don't know a thing about it. Since our cargos were rigged…Or they were being…'conceal'.'] Lincoln stated.
['Hm, true, but the best is remained silent until the time will come. Each of our senseis wanted to put a certain Admiral in the ground. Until Operation: Trojan horse is ready to go.'] Ichika nodded agrees, as he had his eyes onto the air-vents, knowing two of the soldiers were in there, standing by.
['Roger that.'] Lincoln reply acknowledged, also notice Ichika's gaze at the direction.
As they end their transmission via Nano-communications, as they continue observing while the Eurasian soldiers still pointing their guns at citizens and the crew alike. The main task for Tekkadan on the Archangel was to protect civilians, and without the bridge officers that would impossible, keeping themselves remain calm without exposing their operation.
On the hanger, most of the mechanics of the Archangel formed around while the Eurasian soldiers detained them, includes Mu La Flaga among them with his arms behind his head, keeping himself remain calm, without getting himself suspicious regarding the 'Operation: Trojan Horse' under way because Naruto and his brothers had set up.
Good thing Tekkadan is hiding on the cargos that everything is completely locked, while the three trucks were on the hanger, so far if the Eurasian soldiers will learned about it, very soon.
Now onto the bridge, the soldiers entered and while Lt. Cmdr. Biddaulph remained standing, as one of the soldiers pointed at Miriallia.
"Don't move!"
That scares Mir from the soldier pointing his assault rifle at her, seeing the Eurasian soldiers, before Tolle could come to her, because knowing the soldier will shot him in point blank.
"What are you doing!?" Murrue angrily demands.
Now the Eurasian soldiers aimed their weapons at the captain, her OX, and the bridge's staff and they seemed a little more than willing to use their weapons if they were being given so much as the slightest amount of trouble.
Both Murrue and Natarle looked confusion and shock wondering what the hell was going on with all the armed soldiers, as Natarle turns to Biddaulph, demanded answers to him, calmly, for these actions.
"Commander Biddaulph! I request some explanation for this! I assure you-"
Biddaulph leveled a glare at the young ensign ravenette, and interjects to cut the latter's sentence.
"I'm just blockading the ship's controls and fire control systems as part of our security measure."
"Blockading?" Natarle says wondering regarding the Archangel is now onto locked down by the Eurasian soldiers. "But there's no way to-!"
Eurasian soldier aims the assault rifle at Natarle that cuts her sentence, causes her to halt, regarding the former gunpoint at her, as Biddaulph spoke up, explains.
"Your vessel is not registered, and so naturally we have no identification code for it." He explains to the non-registered officials, as he paused his sentence, before continues.
"Given the circumstances, we did permit you to enter port. But unfortunately we have not yet been determined if we recognized you as an ally." He finished.
Hearing that from the Eurasian officer, making Natarle spoke up argued to Biddaulph.
"But that doesn't-!"
"This is a military facility." Biddaulph interjects cuts off the raven-haired ensign's sentence, again. "I'd like for you to at least understand that much. I'll appreciate if you kept that in mind."
Murrue looked down with an anger expression at this situation. Menma's predicable regarding this gamble is worth is true regarding they will attempt double-crossed them.
"Now, I would like for the high-ranking officers to come with me. You shall all have to explain the situation to us in Commandant Garcia's officer." Biddaulph stated, before the guards raised their weapons at the officers, quietly ordering them in a not so subtle manner to follow Garsia's second-in-command's instructions to the latter.
Both Murrue and Natarle frowned at Biddaulph, but nonetheless complied to his orders. The two left the bridge with him and an armed escort.
==Scene Change==
As Murrue and Natarle left the Archangel's bridge, they cannot help but look at the ship locked down with Eurasian guards around the corner on the corridors, while following Biddaulph.
Moving along, they see Mu, Naruto, Menma, and Gaara with their hands up along with another pair of armed guards behind them, pointing their rifles at their back. Biddaulph wondering who those three civilians are company the fame Hawk of Endymion.
"These three were claimed to the Mobile suit pilots, sir. Lieutenant La Flaga said so." One of the soldier reported, gesturing with his rifle at Mu's back, before raise the rifle pointed at.
"I see…Then they'll coming with us." Biddaulph obliged at the soldiers claimed regarding the Immortal ninjas' occupation being pilots of MS.
With all six of them assembled, Biddaulph and his armed escort reached the exit, loading them in a shuttle.
Seeing their Eurasian commander hop inside with the three officers and three pilots in two, the other guards outside the ship embarked their shuttles, leaving the port back to the heart of the base.
==Archangel, Cafeteria==
"What the hell is wrong with you, guys? You've gotta be kidding me!" Murdoch yelled in disgruntled, had his hands behind his head, with the others filled in the cafeteria.
"Kojiro, enough complaining, did you want to get yourself worst." Cid says to defuse Murdoch's temper.
"Tsk, fine." Murdoch reply, obliged his old friend's request, as he continues.
As one by one for the Archangel crew members entered the mess hall, as Arnold Neumann came in second, muttering.
"Damn…"
Then there's Chandra seething in anger, along with Tonomura, then Pal felt nervous at this situation, and lastly is Cid Highwind, remain calm, while seeing Lincoln and Ichika among the refugees, knowing that regarding this operation under progress, before is standing by.
So far, Cid is also blends in the crowd without getting himself attention onto his public face. Also, he wore the mechanic attire of the Archangel's engineering crew, knowing having his current attire will drawing the Eurasian's attention, and includes he had remove his goggles, too.
"Damn bastards…" Murdoch added, took a seat next to Kira, along with Cid, while the others sat in different sections of the cafeteria. Tense silence reined the air before the civilians started to resume whatever they were doing.
"Eurasia is supposed to be an ally, right? Shouldn't they get along with the Atlantic Federation?" Sai asked, looked confused regarding Eurasian soldiers pointing guns at their allies.
"Well yeah, we usually get along with them…but that's not the problem here." Tonomura said.
Romero takes a sigh, shaking his head in disappointment and frustration.
"The problem is the identification code. The Archangel doesn't have one which makes them suspicious of us."
Hearing from Romero Pal had said is true regarding the Archangel didn't have its identification code, due to the fact being part of the top-secret project, and includes the G-Weapons.
"That's what these guys are worried about? They need some identification code to allow us in?" Tolle raised an eyebrow at the ludicrous reasoning.
"Apparently; they think we're spies or something like that." Chandra said.
"If you ask me, that's just an excuse. There's something else going on here that we don't know about." Murdoch says, still complained about this situation, before he continue, noticing Lincoln and Ichika were wearing incognito attires, as he went to Kira, whispered in his ear.
"Hey, kid, why is the snowball kid and his buddy other there were sitting in the cafeteria with us, dressed up as civilians?" He asks to Kira, refer to Lincoln and Ichika, the chief mechanic did seen them since Tekkadan's arrival.
Kira also saw Lincoln and Ichika were among the seats; as they were keeping themselves remain calm; that the two caught him staring, seeing the albino teen nod slightly at the brunette Coordinator, giving him a signal to brief them.
"They 'were' also from Heliopolis, too? Ichika and Lincoln told me so, they did live in the same colony were my friends and I were live here in the apartment complex, before it 'was'. And they were keeping us safe from harm without intervene." Kira answered.
"Really, I guess living in neutral colony under ORB's control is really something, knowing they must've come to school or something. So why's that?" Murdoch inquired, that sounds surprises him regarding Ichika and Lincoln under incognito.
"Yeah, they were until they'll finish schooling. Well, until they'll return to ORB on Earth." Kira replied, before he continues, concludes. "They told me that remain calm, until the time will come; they had a plan, after all."
Hearing that from Kira, regarding Ichika and Lincoln stated that needed to remain silent, without getting anything suspicious.
"So, how long gonna to getting our asses out of this mess?" Murdoch asks for another subject, looked certain regarding Tekkadan was doing, curious about the plan of theirs.
"I don't know, Lincoln didn't told me the details, before he and Ichika entered the cafeteria, so they were told by Naruto, so far that they are the only people had know how to get themselves out." Kira explained, feeling wasn't sure about needed full details from the albino and the male black-haired teen.
"What! Are you kidding me! They didn't tell-!"
"Kojiro, will you pipe down for once, as your old friend, you better not getting yourself involved for this. All had to do is remain calm, and wait, and let the boss will know what to do for his own plan." Cid interjects Murdoch's rants of complaining, with his eyes furrowed towards to his old friend.
"And how come you're remain damn calm, Cid? And what's had to do regarding that plan of the Uzumaki kid while we were in the middle of this situation!" Murdoch stated.
"Because knowing Naruto 'will' get out of this, and be ensure that needed to get everything straight. Just trust us, have you forgotten that you and I were classmates back in the day, so have faith, trust me." Cid replied.
Hearing Cid's explanation regarding Naruto was planning something since the 'Operation: Trojan Horse' still under progress, that causes Kojiro Murdoch sighs in defeat regarding what he said is about have 'faith'.
"I hope that bossy Blondie of yours was doing, right now! If this situation is messed up, I'm going to kick his ass, if I ever see his face‼" The chief mechanic says in the last part exclaiming.
"Hey, watch it, Murdoch; I'm also a blonde, too, and also good luck for that." Cid frowns at his old friend's jab comment, causes the Archangel's chief mechanic sighs heavily with his hands covered his face with a slight headache he was having.
As Cid turns to Lincoln and Ichika were on the different section of the table, didn't want to give any details, as he saying while staring at the two disciples.
"And also we cannot spoil the 'surprise plan' of ours." He added.
That made Murdoch tensed, along with Chandra, Tonomura, Romero, and Sai, heard what Cid had said, that gotten their attention at Chief Mechanic of Tekkadan, as Archangel's counterpart.
"Surprise plan? What Surprise plan?" Sai questioned, wondering at the Chief Mechanic of Tekkadan refers to.
Before Cid could answered that question, sports out a smiles sinisterly, before he could say a word for an answer…
==Artemis; Unknown Location==
Speaking of which for under Operation: Trojan Horse, that's the part of this operation, another detail about it, the Greeks were pretend to sail away after, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as victory trophy.
That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war.
So far, since the Eurasian soldiers had stormed in and locked down the Archangel, so far that knowing those snooping Eurasian to pry their precious cargo and includes important trucks were being stored (owned by Tekkadan), includes their leaders' respective mobile suits, so far that they knew their origins, and includes the seal prevent them from open their cockpits and extract all their data within.
And while Lincoln and Ichika had nano-machines just in case matters are starting to get too hairy. Most of the members of Tekkadan were went incognito, which most of them was from Heliopolis before its destruction, so far that regarding that most of the Militia troopers had swap their attires into citizens to blend in, includes armed with small-arms without gotten their attention.
So, they hid in the vents so that the Eurasian soldiers didn't bother to double-checked, and while there is a small group who planning to take a 'tour' around Artemis.
(AN: Does the Archangel Warship have air vents?)
Isaac Clarke (Golden Sun character) leading a squad of 5 members of the Militia troopers: consists of Hicks, Hudson, Dietrich, Crowe, and Wierzbowski.
Isaac wears his own custom pilot suit (also Mikazuki's); with his respective color - sky blue, instead of standard orange, donned with a M3 chest Armor. And while the five wearing the Mk. 60 Compression suits, with nametags onto their respective armors, includes decorations as well.
Armed with suppressed arsenals - consists of compact M41A Pulse Rifle(s) (w/ grenade launchers) w/ extended clip (holds 60-rounds), M4RA Battle Rifle(s) (w/ either shotgun or grenade launcher), and NSG23 Assault Rifle(s), along with SMG or Machine pistols such as M39 and M66-SD; and as for side-arms - consists of M4A3, 88 MOD4, Ruger Mk.2 - Tranquilizer.
For CQC weapons, consists of tactical and/or stun knives.
Isaac had armed with a surpassed M82 Assault rifle, his sidearm is TA-01 Hybrid Pistol, and M4RA Battle Rifle w/ silencer and attached 2x zoom scope.
Hicks also armed with a silenced Mk.2 Pulse Rifle with other attachments - extended mag (by 60 rounds), reflex sight and laser targeting system, sidearm is M4A3 suppressed, and a shotgun is holstered onto his scabbard onto his back. He's the squad leader of this team under Isaac's command.
Hudson armed with Modified (outdated) Pulse rifle, since it holds 95 rounds, than the successor's capacity of 40 rounds, attachment is a reflex sight and laser targeting system; and M4A3 pistol silenced. Considered Hudson is a Combat Technician of the Team.
Dietrich, is the team's medic, armed with silenced NSG23 with a 2x scope and underslung shotgun includes a M39 SMG w/ silencer and Night optics; and lastly is a suppressed 88 MOD4 pistol.
Crowe is the team's sniper, wields a scoped and suppressed M4RA Battle Rifle, and includes the M66-SD and M39 SMG with extended clip (at 72 rounds) and reflex sight.
Lastly is Wierzbowski or 'Ski', a support-type infantry, wields also a M41AE Heavy Pulse Rifle with 2x Scope, includes a silenced LS57 SMG with reflex sight and dual-mags and standard-issue M4A3 equip with silencer. So Ski decides to take out the LS57, instead, without getting the team compromise, due to lack of gun didn't acquire suppressor.
Isaac's squad easily sneaked through the ship under Naruto's orders, shooting down unsuspecting Eurasian guards with ease with sniper/battle rifles. And Isaac is able to spook one unsuspecting bastard before placing a bullet between his eyes permanently silencing him for good.
The squad reaching the hanger, they spotted six guards with four walking around the catwalk, while the two are on the ground floor guarding the exit.
Isaac ordered the squad to activate its Stealth Camouflage Technology; unlikely to Earth Forces developed the new stealth technology for a certain G-Weapon under prototype state.
(AN: The Stealth Camouflage came from MGS, since decide to have that technology for Tekkadan Ranks. Just like Jiraiya's Invented Jutsu - Tōton Jutsu (Transparent Escape Technique), includes Naruto also had used it, too. But, it was powered by battery includes, but chargeable.)
"Crowe, I'll take top and you take the ground. And rest of you, hold your position." Isaac whispered through the radio, contact his team's sniper.
["Roger."] Crowe reply, as he stepped forward, while holding his battle rifle which served a long-range sniper rifle.
["Affirmative, sir."] Hicks acknowledged.
After the team rendered themselves invisible, as Isaac immediately sets his sights on the long guard walking on the top level of the hanger. The guard walked a few paces before stopping.
*Pew!*
Taking his chance, he quickly scoped his silenced M4RA Battle Rifle, squeezing a single round right through his skull. The guard fell down immediately.
"Tango down: One down, five more to go." Isaac whispered through the radio, as he spotted two targets down the lower catwalk. "Crowe, we'll take them down at the same, I'll take one on the right, and you take one on the left."
["Roger."] Crowe responded, with his rifle standby to prepared to fire within his scope.
With Crowe had immediately approaching the oblivious Eurasians, following his CO's orders. Taking a knee, he aims his silenced scoped battle rifle, before fires a single A19 HV round at one on the right left, and while Isaac took out the other on the right side at the same time; killing them simultaneously.
"What the…! What's going on over there?" A suspicious Eurasian guard exclaimed, the guard looked over to where the two men down. Picking up his rifle, he begins to walk over to their position, unknowing walking right by Crowe, holstering his rifle, takes out his Stun Knife, and ready to execute the poor bastard.
Crowe crouching as he stalks his target while the cloaking module remain active. When the guard immediately stopped, he looked down at his two dead comrades. He was about to alert his other comrades, only for Crowe to kick him right at the back causing him to stumble forward. As his target turned, making the man looked around for the source, only to find nobody.
Crowe's transparent figure got closer, as he jabbing the knife, right on his neck.
"Shh…that's it. Don't fight it, just accept it. That's it. Goodnight." Crowe cooed silently to the dying guard. He slowly bring his body down on the floor, placing his rifle next to him in a quiet manner before grabbing his knife, smearing the blood on the guard's uniform.
Until he and the squad uncloaked their Stealth Camo, revealed themselves, and as Crowe holstered his knife, while Hicks and the rest pressed forward, before their CO jumped down from the top catwalk. As the rest turned their attention to the last of two Eurasian guards standing there, looking bored.
Isaac turns to the squad, he signally ordered Crowe under sniper covered, causes the latter nod acknowledge, then turned to Dietrich, and Wiezbowski, then instructed them to assists Crowe for provide support to cover their backs.
Then lastly as Isaac signaled to recommend Hicks and Hudson to take out the last two guards, and so, as the trio quietly hops down from the catwalk right behind a couple of crates right in time when deactivate their cloaking devise. As they tuned in on their conversation, after everything is set in place, seeing if any of them get some information about the people in-change of this base.
(AN: I don't want to spoil it, so it's…)
"…Hey." The first guard spoke up, asked.
"Yeah?" The second replied.
"You ever wonder why we're doing this?"
(AN: …The famous speech quote in RvB.)
"Hmm…Probably because it's our job?" The second stated sarcastically.
"Hello! That's the thing; it's boring out of my goddamn head, all right? You know that!" The first says complaining, feeling disliked for this boring job. "Not to mention, are you sure these are Admiral's orders?"
"Yeah they are. Have you ever doubted our boss before, dude?" The second retorted.
"Just a bit but seriously, we have to stand on guard duty the entire time? Almost as bad as monitor duty to be honest." The first complained.
"Sounds like a 'you-problem'. If you're so damn bored, then go make some rounds around the place. Might ease up your boredom problem." The second replied.
"All right, boys, take them out!" Isaac declared through the radio.
When the conversation was over, until they heard a sound of guns pointed at them, causes the two greenhorns to the direction, to be greeted by a pair of barrels of Pulse Rifles of Hicks and Hudson.
"W-What the…!"
"Surprise motherfuckers!" Hudson exclaims, as he and Hudson immediately fired respectively accurate four-round bursts in those two guards, killing them instantly and silently.
Hicks and Hudson had pushing their bodies out in the Artemis' port while checking to make sure is around to it. With the coast clear, signaled their CO and the squad to round up, as they immediately spotted an elevator life.
Once all the squad members on the elevator, as they went to their destination, as Isaac took out a hand-held object, and then flips up in 360, and then a blade shots out of its handle, happen to be a folding sword. So far, knowing the 'Operation: Trojan Horse' along the way, until the plan is executed.
Until now, as Isaac retracted his folding sword, and holstered it, which he and his squad begin their 'tour' around Artemis.
"Alright, Artemis… Let's see what you have to offer…" Isaac muttered.
==Artemis; Garcia's office==
Seeing the Archangel is now lock-down, the three shuttles returning to the heart of the based - after the first one who contains the three officers of the Archangel and pilots, to the man who is in-charge of Eurasian fortress, Gerard Garcia.
On Rear Admiral Gerard Garcia's office, seeing him and XO Stefan Cazacu, looked at the multiple screens showcasing the many angels of the majestic vessel known as the 'Archangel'.
"Well, well, well. So, this is the top-secret military project of the Atlantic Federation." The voice of Garcia had spoken up remarks, at the sight of the Archangel vessel. "Who would've expected something like this to jump into our laps?"
"So, the rumors that Heliopolis was involved with the project were true." Stefan stated confirmed regarding this information, making the scheming the Eurasian Admiral nod his head.
Rear Admiral/Commandant Gerard Garcia looked at the reports of what had happened at Heliopolis and the fact that the new warship and its cargo had escaped that disaster. The second that he heard about the new mobile suits that the ship was rumored to be carrying, he had no other choice but to allow the ship to land.
After all from there it would be relatively easy to impound the ship under suspicion that they were not who they were saying they were. From there all he could to have to do is to have his technicians and engineers analyze the prototypes and hopefully create a blueprint of the mobile suits that he could send back to Eurasia.
In the machines and quite possibly the ship itself were hopefully plans for several mobile suits which would prove be invaluable to Eurasia or any part of the Earth Forces since they had thus far been unable to create any form of Mass-produced MS that a Natural could pilot since the war had begun.
If Garcia were to turn some of the design specifications or maybe even a few of the machines themselves over to Eurasian command, he could earn himself a promotion or at least brownie points that could transfer him to someplace that was a bit more cozy than this pit of a base. Right now though, all he had to do was wait a little bit longer for the Archangel to dock with its precious cargo.
Until now that the ship is already docked, and then have his forces to detain them.
"Yes, it is true. Looks like those rumors appear to be true, but I could care less at this point. Still, this is an opportunity that cannot be passed up. We'll invite the crew to spend some time here." Garcia stated. So far, he's plotting got his own hands on that Mobile Suit blueprints for the important Program the Eurasian was developing.
And by 'spending time', he means holding the crew hostage, but I guess I do not have to tell you that, right? Well, have you forgotten that knowing that greedy fucktard didn't know about everything is being set-up, regarding double-crossers; always to be sure the trap will be spring.
*Beep-beep!*
A beeping sound, that gotten their attention at the door, until the Biddaulph's voice in the intercom spoke up on the door, before the images of the Archangel in each angle faded.
["Excuse me. I've brought three officers from the unidentified vessel with me, and include three civilians."]
Hearing that from Biddaulph, which that gotten Garcia sudden interest at regarding the former bringing civilians, as the commandant raised his right eyebrow, as he turns his office chain to the left side.
"Civilians…?" Garcia muttered, looked wondering, as he turns the chair into the left side, as he and his XO share their look one to another, and then replied to Biddaulph through the door. "Why bringing civilians, Commander Biddaulph?"
Hearing from the Commandant's questions, wanted to hear his reason why bringing civilians onto this fortress.
["According to one of the officers, those civilians were claimed to be 'Natural' Mobile Suits pilots, sir."]
That surprises the two Eurasian officers of Artemis, regarding getting more sudden intriguing at according to Biddaulph's details.
"Are you sure the civilians you brought happen to be Mobile Suit pilots, Lieutenant Commander?" Stefan inquired, he and Garcia wanted to confirmed from Biddaulph is true regarding Naturals able to pilot mobile suits (meaning Naruto, Menma, and Gaara). It was surprising 'Naturals' were able to pilot a mobile suit since the war is started with ZAFT, so far only 'Coordinators' can pilot Mobile Suits.
["I'm positive, sir, one of our soldiers has seen it in the unidentified vessel's hanger, besides the new prototype one, there are three additional mobile suits that is quite unfamiliar to us. Shall I have them return to the vessel?"]
Between the Commandant and XO looked at each other, again, as the former spoke up, which Garcia really had other plans for those civilian pilots of Mobile Suits, before meeting them in person.
"No, no, let them join us, Commander Biddaulph. So, please, come in." Garcia replied, letting the adding 3 MS pilots accompany three officers of Atlantic Federation.
"Very well, Commander Biddaulph, Come in." Garcia called out letting them entered his office.
The doors parted, revealing Biddaulph, Murrue, Natarl, and Mu, along with Naruto, Menma, and Gaara.
'So, these three are mobile suit pilots.' Stefan says in thoughts, had had lay his eyes at neither the new familiar faces of the Uzumaki twins and Gaara.
With Garcia clears his throat before standing up from his chair to greet his 'guests'.
"Welcome to Artemis. My name is Gerard Garcia. I'm the Commandant of this military base. I hope our staff members did not give you too much trouble and have greeted you with welcoming arms."
The three, along with the three immortal ninjas/MS pilots, did not seem to buy the so-called "welcoming arms" bullshit but they are not in the mood to argue with the Eurasian general. Any of them tried to roll their eyes at his greetings.
==Artemis; With Isaac's Team==
While the Isaac and his squad were doing some investigation around Artemis, as much as regarding this team formed by Naruto, under his orders acquired information about what Garcia up to, until being the Archangel along with its crew and Heliopolis refugees.
So, they infiltrating the area, while each of the squad members looks around Artemis, Isaac and the rest of the squad cannot help but shake their heads in disappointment at how lightly and haphazardly guarded the base it. They did not even have use their Stealth Camo as often as any of them would think they would, making it easier for them to move around the complex without being detected.
Not to mention, spotted a couple of guards literally sleeping on the job with their rifles plopped on the floor like pieces of discarded trash.
["Those dickheads, they didn't do their goddamn job."] Crowe's voice in the radio, saying whispering in commented, had the team's sniper to cover their backs within distance.
"Even for us, grunts weren't this lazy on guard duty, despite it being a shitty job…" Hudson replies, muttering, to the squad via comlink.
"Agreed, whoever came up with this idea to one - put a military satellite in an area with no strategic value at all to them, and two - gave said satellite an impenetrable energy shield, was obviously smoking something, because this was a huge waste of resources on Eurasian's part." Hicks stated.
"The Artemis' personal and staff members do a poor job in maintaining security around the base. This is a breach in the Earth Forces protocol manual and must be corrected." Dietrich stated.
Isaac snorts at the idea these guys beefing up the security systems, and spoke up to tell the team with those facts.
"Highly doubtful, they're going to do anything about the security around here. First off, ZAFT didn't attack them due to the Umbrella shield covering the base from head to toe and everything around it. Second, this place is in the middle of nowhere and isn't a major threat in any way, shape or form so ZAFT just ignored them. Third, these guys have so much faith in the Umbrella since the shield is impenetrable like Hicks said; it made them lazy and complacent."
Hearing their CO's statement regarding Eurasian's Artemis with their reputation being untouchable regarding their impenetrable energy shield surrounds the fortress.
["I agreed, Captain, those guys were the worst lazy-ass fucktards in Cosmic Era, they only cared to have faith on their 'precious' Umbrella."] Wierzbowski's voice in the comms, agrees at their squad leader and Captain of this squad. (3)
"That's true, Ski, that's true." Hudson reply, agrees at the support-type Militia Trooper.
Trudging alone, the squad continues the base until they stops, before Isaac signals them to halt, at one of the empty offices within the complex.
Isaac signals to command Hicks and Hudson to search the area for guards. Once within seconds passed, as hearing Hicks' voice in the comms, informed.
["Area clear: No guards."]
Hearing from Hicks had informed, which he and Hudson saw nobody in the office.
"Good, move out!" Isaac exclaims muttered in the comms, as he and the rest of the squad entered one of the offices, as the former went one of the computer, and then turns to Hudson.
"Hudson, hack the system." He ordered.
"On it!" Hudson replied, as he slung his custom pulse rifle over his shoulder, draw out his tactical knife and prying the lid of the keyboard opened, and then took out a ComTech Hacking and immediately starting hacking sequence.
The procedure now complete within seconds, he closes the keypad's plate before the doors parted to the right side, while Isaac turns to the squad.
"Hudson, Hicks, you two with me! And rest of you; keep your eyes out peel for any contacts!" He says commanded.
"Roger that, sir." Crowe replied, as he and the rest of the squad stand guard and while Hudson is accompany with Isaac enters it to get to work.
"Alright, Hudson, let's unravel Commandant Garcia's true colors." Isaac muttered.
"Yes, sir!" Hudson replied, as he slung his assault rifle, and went to the computer and opening it in, and he inserts a USB to connect it before begins to search around, and finding anything they can dig up on that man.
Couple minutes went by until he, along with Isaac and Hicks, found some rather interesting stuff on the no-good Artemis' Commandant.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here…?" Isaac muttered, caught his sudden interests onto the screen with his eyes. "Hudson?"
"On it, sir!" Hudson acknowledge, as he clicking on his personal files, he and the two looks up some rather interesting information regarding the no-good general.
Rear Admiral/Commandant Garcia obtained his rank thanks to him knowing a few people within the Eurasian political circle, and never had to go through military school or basic training.
"That son of a bitch…Will look at that, sir." Hudson says in sarcastically mood includes looked disappointed at the screen, before the revelation kicks in that made him seething in up-come anger. "That head honcho is not a soldier, but a goddamn politician."
"I agreed, Hudson. Just as I expecting, sir, that kinda explains why the fucking dumbass placed the Umbrella in a non-strategic base such as the Artemis. I guess that they made their poor goddess under her cage by their hypocrite assholes." Hicks stated regarding his last statement about Garcia and Artemis' lack of strategic ways.
"True, Corporal, Private, that's the reason that bastard is in command of this outpost is due to he had connections. Continue!" Isaac snorted, reading at the screen about Garcia's true colors.
Hudson had obliged to proceed; as he scrolling down the computer to see him involved in some shady business with black market dealers, such as nuclear weapons and illegal firearms deals, includes skilled mercenaries.
"Why am I not so damn surprised? Of course, he'd have some dealing within the black market, huh." The blonde CO stated, Hick and Hudson agree at him regarding Garcia's commit legal activities.
"That Garcia is one greedy fuck-faced bastard, he really wanted to going to the top with his own image, and includes that is why the reputation as the 'Umbrella of Artemis' remain flawless." Hudson stated.
"That's true." Hicks agrees, before continues. "Let's see what's more, sir."
With Hicks' suggestion to continues, scrolling through the files, the three indeed saw a couple incidences of him holding some friendly units hostage, and in some of those cases, robbing whatever valuable assets they have before killing them in the process.
Take note here, ladies and gentlemen, that the majority, if not all of those said forces were from the Atlantic Federation.
Adding more to the growing list, Garcia and a few other high-ranking officers within the Eurasian side of the Earth Forces had been kidnapping, or as he placed it, "conscripting" Coordinators.
Once instated in the army, they then exploit the victims to fight for them, sometimes injecting them with some drugs to make them docile. The files also talked about how Garcia would use utilize these kidnapped Coordinators and stolen inventory to betray the Earth Alliance when he has the chance which also raised a major red flag.
Other than that, the man was involved in a couple scandals which are irrelevant since most of them occurred in the Eurasian Federation and are not involved with the military so he dashed them out.
"Hudson, I want you to copy everything in this storage, now!" Isaac says seething in anger at that no-good backstabber who called himself an Admiral and Commandant of Artemis.
"Affirmative, sir, you can't tell me twice." Hudson replied, as he copied everything about Garcia's actions in the USB, storing 'all' evidence in the flash-drive.
"That bastard had corrupted and raped the goddess, and it is best for us free her from his grasp and heal her broken mind." Isaac says declared. "Waiting orders to receive contact by Boss Naruto, once the Operation: Trojan Horse is a go."
Downloading everything in his USB, under obliging, Hudson unplugged it from the computer before keeping it on his person. Isaac may as well to show it to Naruto and his brothers, and then Murrue and the others about this later on.
"All units, we must leave before Artemis' personal comes in to investigate and alerts the rest of the base until we'll be compromised." Isaac declared.
Hearing the rest of the team responded with 'Acknowledge' or 'Ten-Four' or 'Roger that', before leaving the office, had ordered his team to split up in three groups in two pair: Isaac and Hicks, Hudson with Dietrich, Crowe with Wierzbowski.
And so with that, the squad took separate ways, exploring more of the Artemis base…
==At Vesalius==
Standing off 50 miles away from Artemis, along with Galvani and the fleet, while the Gamow remains to pursue the Legged Ship (Archangel), Rau was going over his new orders.
Word had gotten back the PLANTs of his indiscretion with the D-Package weaponry at Heliopolis and he was to appear before the Supreme Council at once. He was not pleased, but he knew it couldn't be avoided.
Onboard the Vesalius, Rau was in deep thought about what the Supreme Council had in store for him, and wondered if things would become even worse.
So far, earlier, after the Legged Ship (Archangel) is escape from his grasp, so far, until he had saw the disabled Blitz and Buster caused by the sudden encounter of the Black Mobile Suit that Athrun had reported, and includes the other 2 unknown G-Weapon as well.
During the previous reports about each of the 3 unknown G-Weapons have specifications:
The first is the black MS (Barbatos); armed with a longsword, which this kind of Mobile Suit meant for close-range combat, includes it can block a beam weaponry; armed with mounted guns onto its forearms, during the newest update from Athrun's report, it turns out that those guns had integrate with railguns, which it did took a dent on Aegis, that its firepower is more destructive than the Legged-Ship's Valiant Cannons, and lastly has a wired tail-blade.
Not to mention, regarding the three G-Weapons piloted by Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol, reported indicate that that black-themed Mobile Suit has far faster and far mobility than the GINN HM-Type, that he was previous once pilot it, until the CGUE was deployed.
The second is a red-winged MS (Bael); armed with golden bladed swords, cannons onto its wings, along with combat knives onto its compartment, and includes drill knees, according to Miguel. Miguel's report from his last encounter with the red-winged Mobile Suit, so far even its beam shot of the Heavy Ion Cannon didn't caught a dent at that mobile suit.
This mobile suit is fast that pair to the black MS (Barbatos), so far that with fluid-like motion regarding how swiftly unable to marked the target whenever predicting the shooter's firing position, the motion patterns the two unknown G-Weapons were completely unpredictable to analyze.
Lastly is the tan/white muscular MS (Gusion); reported during Heliopolis that regarding it was first armed with a GINN's machine Gun, along with a Halberd, and then another rifle, sans sub-arms; then there's a new beam rifle fires energy bullets in rapid-fire capabilities, and includes a long-barrel cannon weapon.
Considered that tan/white muscular MS is a tank-type MS among the three, even its high-caliber explosive shell didn't put a dent into it, similar to the red-winged MS; includes 2 were CQC-type MSs; which these 3 unknown G-Weapons were completely mysterious to them.
So far, until during the aftermath of this skirmish, regarding Rau called out the team to Vesalius informed them about he was being called by the Supreme Council…
==Flashback Started==
"What do you mean a summons to appear before the Supreme Council?!" Yzak asked exclaims, in complete disbelief.
As he, Dearka, Miguel, Ein, Athrun, and Nicol had gathered before Rau, Zelman, and Walter (the captain of Galvani) onboard the Gamow and were all shocked to learn of this from their commander ever since their failed mission to capture or destroy the GAT-X105 Strike, the 3 unknown G-Weapons, and that new warship from Heliopolis.
"Especially at a time like this…" Yzak was continues to rant.
"I understand how you're feeling, Yzak. However, it seems this is beyond my control." The masked commander began and cuts off the sentence of Duel's pilot.
Especially as the Laurasia-class warship has received word from the Vesalius that they received a message from the homeland which the silver-haired pilot was less than thrilled to hear.
"I'd say there's turmoil among the council…probably over the events preceding the collapse of Heliopolis." He added.
"Commander Le Creuset, sir, this is preposterous." Ein spoke up, feeling unfair regarding this skirmish.
Even if they were to return to the homeland, the fact remains the Strike and the 3 unknown G-Weapons remain a threat due to the enemy warship having managed to reach Artemis despite being outnumbered with the remaining GINNs the Gamow, or the Galvani, or the any ships on this fleet, had left destroyed, it is more important that they prepare their next plan of attack.
"After coming this far, and nearly corning them?" The black-haired green-coat concluded.
"I concur with Ein, as much as I hate to say it…" Dearka added with a frown on his face.
Knowing that the Strike is their number one concern even, along with the other 3 unknown G-Weapons if Ein or Miguel, wants to destroy each of those unknown G-Weapons, after what happened back in Heliopolis.
"We can't just turn a blind eye and allow the Earth Forces to remain possession of the remaining machine as you said earlier. And includes those 3 Mobile suits any of us have encountered when you shown us the footage during the last skirmish." The blonde pilot of Buster concluded.
With a slight nod, Rau was seeing that his remaining pilots are still as determined as ever to complete the task despite their current dilemma and never the less he looked to Zelman.
"If you truly feel that obligated in continuing the pursuit of the Legged Ship then it would actually be fitting if the Gamow remains in the area." He replied with a slight grin on his face, though the matter remains that he needed at least one of the captured machines and a pilot operating it to come with him back to the Vesalius would be helpful in his report on what occurred up till now, along with the fleet that including.
"However, I must request that both Athrun and Miguel return with me to the Vesalius as we'll be setting off for the homeland as soon as repairs are complete." He added.
"What?" Athrun asked that caught himself surprised, even Miguel and the others were rather confused by the fact that while they are to remain on the Gamow, the pilot of the Aegis and the Magic Bullet of Dusk are to return to the Vesalius with their commander made them wonder on the reasoning for it.
"But Commander, I…"
"I know how disappointed you must feel about the order but I require that at least one of the G-Weapons is shown as proof of what the Alliance was capable of designing." Rau answered, interjected, with a serious expression on his face even though the Aegis' pilot wanted to try again in capturing the Strike, he felt that it has to be done.
"Plus Miguel's return is also required since he was the first to combat the Strike and survive against it as what he brought back to us is needed to be shown."
"Yes sir, I understand." Athrun said as he gave his commander a salute.
"But what about those three G-Weapons; shall we observe it some more, Commander?" Nicol asked as he handed the data that they had so far of the unknown G-Weapons, with his suggestion regarding more Intel regarding each of the unknown G-Weapons who aide the Strike, with its capabilities.
However all Rau did was smile as he looked over to Nicol and the others.
"Well, we will need all the information that we have, so I want you to true and capture this Fighter and disable the ship as best as you can."
Hearing that from Rau, Ein was shocked and keeping his anger in-check, by this, he looked over to Rau.
"Sir, are you sure? This is absurd! You're saying we'll capture them for all the trouble that it's caused?"
"Why, yes, Ein, I am." Rau replied in a cool and very calm tone as he turned his head to look at Ein. "Besides, we have no idea what these unknown Mobile Suits that what's its capable off. I think it would be for the best that we get as much information we can on it. For now, I will reply what we know so far about it and we shall let high command decided on the action we will take."
Without saying another word, Rau left, while the white-masked commander leave the bridge, he was feeling intriguing at Athrun's reports regarding his second encounter with the black Mobile Suit (Barbatos), since he defy his orders, and having 2 remaining members of the raiding party since Heliopolis under his command, regarding his actions.
So far, during his talk with Athrun about his old friend Kira was piloted the Strike. Which that gotten Athrun hold himself back because his hesitation. The same person piloted the last white and blue G-Weapon when it had fired that massive beam of energy, leaving a massive hole in the colony wall of Heliopolis. Outside of the sheer firepower it possessed, it confirmed that Kira is a Coordinator as well.
Rau lets himself hums at those subjects; which instead of focus on Kira Yamato and the Strike, but also the Black Mobile Suit (Barbatos), he was curious what that pilot (Naruto Uzumaki), so far according to Dearka about a Natural was able to pilot a Mobile Suit very well.
"Hmm…According to the reports, Yzak's group had encountered that black Mobile Suit that disabled the Blitz and Buster, so easily, and leaving the Duel unscratched. That's expecting according to Athrun had witnessed any of the three took out most of the Mobile Suit squad in minutes…if those three were Natural…How did the Earth Forces…or there's another party among those sides…"
==Flashback Ended==
Now, Rau return his reality, as Athrun and Miguel were called in to Vesalius and setting course to the homeland – the PLANTs; and while the Gamow will continue to pursue the Legged Ship.
"Looks like we're heading home for a while, Ades. The Gamow can handle the pursuit of the Legged Ship for now." Rau began spoken up the conversation.
"Why now of all times, Commander?" Ades questioned.
"Artemis is indestructible, as long as the Umbrella is opened. The Gamow is going to have to wait for them to come out of their hole." Rau replied.
Until one of the communication officers (or CIC) spoke up to the bridge, out loud.
"Commander, we've detected another Nazca-class in the area." The CIC operative reported, still working to identify it.
"Huh?" Rau tensed, raised an eyebrow through his mask. He didn't expected to encounter other ZAFT forces in the area. "Who does that vessel belong to?"
"Hold on…Confirmed: It's the Bismarck!" (2)
That caught Rau and Ades interests hearing the CIC officer had identified another ZAFT Nazca-class vessel.
"That's Commander Alex's flagship, eh?" Ades says looked intriguing. "What does he want?"
Just then, the face of Commander Alex Seymour appeared on the bridge's screens.
Alex Seymour is about age 19, about 4 years older than Athrun's or the rest of Le Creuset Team, he had light blue hair and turquoise eyes.
(AN: Came from Golden Sun GBA.)
["My…"] Alex began, looked remarked, and before he continues. ["What a surprise seeing you here, Rau. It's been a while when we part ways."]
Making Rau smirked at the screen he was staring at.
["Yes, it has been…my disciple."] Rau replied, that surprises Ades of what he had heard from the former.
"Sir, Commander Seymour was your disciple?" Ades inquired, making the white-masked commander turns to him.
"Yes, Ades, I have Alex under my wing and taught him everything. Like me, he is the youngest commander among ZAFT ranks." Rau explained, he had secretly told his long-term disciple and follower of his ambition, as he turns back to Alex, and spoke up.
"So, Alex, what brings you here?" He asked to his old student.
["I was just on patrol with my new disciples, when I noticed your flagship, the Galvani, and your fleet."] Alex replied, before frowning. ["One of my crewmen just noticed the damage state on your ship. What happened to the Vesalius?"]
"It was damaged in a battle against the Earth Forces new warship." Rau answered.
There are no secrets between a teacher and a student, which it is best for Rau to give details to Alex, about the last skirmish.
["I see…So the rumors about the Naturals have come up something to turning the tables of the tides of war, huh."] Alex responded.
"Yes, Alex, it is true. I'll brief you in with details about this situation in Vesalius." Rau stated.
["Very well than, and where's the Gamow then?"]
"We decide to send it off to continue the pursued the Earth Forces' new warship, we codenamed it: The 'Legged Ship'." The masked commander replied.
["The Legged Ship, huh. I'll get to see to it, Rau."] Alex replied with a smirked. ["With your permission, I would like to come onboard, with my disciples, they were eager to meet you just like you taught me. You and I have some catching up to do, sir."]
"Very well, Alex." Rau reply with no hesitate, mimicking the same smirked as Alex.
["Thank you, Rau."] Alex replied, and then the screen of Vesalius went blacked.
==Enter Bismarck==
Onboard of Alex's command ship, as he stood up onto his chair, and called out to the crew.
"Prep the shuttle; I want Saturos and Mernardi to accompany me."
"Understood, sir." His Executive Officer replied.
==Artemis; Back to Garcia's office==
Garcia sitting in the chair on his desk; he looked up from his laptop that three of the officers in Atlantic Federation military IDs being scanned to be confirmed. And while Naruto, Gaara, and Menma stood between, since unknown to the Eurasian that their IDs were completely made-up and includes a fake by Mu La Flaga, himself.
"Lieutenant Murrue Ramius, Lieutenant Mu La Flaga, and Ensign Natarle Badgiruel." Garcia spoke up, began the briefing, as he looks up to the six people individuals before him.
"I see. It appears that your identifications are genuine Atlantic Federation IDs."
Hearing Garcia's statement regarding Murrue, Mu, and Natarle gotten their IDs were confirmed, and then he turns his eyes attention the three new familiar faces that accompany the three Atlantic Federation officers between, but mobile suit pilots; but, not just that, unaware to the fact that they were war veterans before since ancient time.
"But that includes three young men, Mr. Naruto Uzumaki, Mr. Menma Uzumaki, and Gaara Sabaku. You three don't have any Identification records on any database."
Which it's unclear that the three ancient ninjas didn't had identifications, and includes they weren't joined the military that is. And so, as Mu spoke up to stepped in, which he can handle it, while the three didn't say anything that went along with the lie the Hawk told Garcia.
"We apologize for all the trouble, sir. As for Naruto and the boys, they're from Black-Ops. Undercover for the investigation they were having at Heliopolis when ZAFT attacked." Mu says with a serious expression, and includes without bring out another subject about Tekkadan under the leaderships of ancient ninjas/Mobile Suit pilots.
Hearing Mu's claimed, the Commandant just had his eyebrow raised at that (before he could gain suspicious about that lie the former made) and then accepted the reason somehow. While the immortal ninjas had remain calm, without saying anything, noticing Garcia's face that given them some nerves, knowing that he had a inner greedy smug face within that mask of wry smile of his.
"Not a problem, Lieutenant La Flaga. In fact, I've come across your impressive record, Hawk of Endymion." Garcia says with his hands interlocks onto his desk. "I also fought in the Grimaldi Front."
While Naruto, and his brothers heard Garcia's claim, had eyes focus on Mu, which he looked incredulously, the asshole in front of them should have been the one apologizing for having his men storm the ship and take everyone in the Archangel prisoner before any of them had his little attack dog Biddaulph to practically drag them to his office, which was more like a luxury hotel room.
"Oh, is that so? Then you must've been part of Commodore Villard's unit." Mu stated.
"That's right. Although due to the unfortunate circumstances in that battle, we had orders to retreat in that situation. However, thanks to your heroic efforts in taking down five GINNs, it gave everybody a much-needed morale boost to encouragement, in this troubling time." Garcia replied.
"Thank you very much, sir." Mu says appreciated.
With Naruto, he tried to resist the urge he truly did, but he just couldn't resist criticizing people that he couldn't under any circumstances respect especially if they were with the Eurasian military. And while Menma and Gaara, like Naruto; remain calm without criticizing people, due to Garcia's face.
'*Scoffed* A 'much-needed morale boost', my ass!' Naruto says in thoughts, mentally snorted. 'I've seen that look on the face of the greedy backstabbing bastard if I see one, just like a certain midget since my ancient times when I was Genin, 12-13 or so, on my first ever mission.'
Hearing Naruto's mental statement, regarding Garcia remained him of Gato, when the latter had backstabs Zabuza and Haku since his first mission (C-rank to A-rank Mission), he tormenting the people in Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves), so far that land is poor, since regarding old man Tazuna had build the bridge that connects to the main land of Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire) to Nami no Kuni.
With reminiscent talk is over. It was then that his blue eyes gain a devious glint in them, that gotten the ancient ninjas caught his expression.
"But, thought it surprises me that imagined you of all people appear would embark on its ship, much less be part of the vessel's crew. Care to explain to me, Lieutenant La Flaga?" Garcia inquired.
Hearing his tone and negative emotion spiked out from the Commandant. Naruto's eyes narrowed at Garcia, along with Menma, who also had the ability of Kuro (Black Kumama) and includes Gaara who caught his body language by judging his face.
'I knew it! Gato's reincarnate, perhaps.' Naruto says in thoughts, just as he had suspected a little regarding that so-called Commandant's face. Unlike most of his friends and allies he had known during their passing in their ancient time, somehow that each of them were being reincarnate.
'I know the feeling, Naruto, best to keep yourself burst the bubble without expose under suspicious.' Menma's voice in mental-link, advised.
'Oh, sure, sorry about that, still under progress of the Operation: Trojan Horse, right?' Naruto replied, mentally keeping himself calm at the moment.
'Yes, Naruto, still under progress, but so far according to your story and/or reports about your exploit in Nami no Kuni since you and your…old team had accomplished to liberate the village.' Gaara concludes, he also well-aware about Naruto's accomplishments.
'Yeah…I know.' Naruto replied to Gaara, regarding his ancient past. 'Anyway, I believe you all know about that Gato-wannabe's game?'
'It sure is, Aniki, just as I predicted, it seems that he wanted to double-crossed us by getting their hands on our mobile suits, the Atlantic Federation's new warship and the Strike.' Menma stated, confirmed to Naruto about just as he had predicted regarding knowing Garcia and his goons were planning to snoop around.
With Mu, he knows the game the Commandant is playing, but he is not going to give in, just yet. The brothers and Tekkadan leaders already knew Garcia's game, includes. So far that knowing that it is best that the three MS pilots have already figure it out the moment they knew that something was wrong.
Knowing well-aware for the Hawk of Endymion about Naruto and his brothers set up their 'Operation: Trojan Horse'. So the best is for Mu is not to say anything to bring up the operation.
"Unfortunately, being on a special mission, I'm not at liberty to divulge much information." Mu answered to the Commandant, still had a serious expression of his.
The Commandant just shrugs his shoulder at him, if the man is stubborn to give him any information about the ship, then so be it. One way or another, he will get his hands on it.
"Very well, I understand. I shall respect your answer, but you have to understand, you won't be expecting to get resupplied right away." The commandant stated, still had smug look onto his face.
Seeing the Commandant's face that given Naruto some nerves, seeing that disgusting expression of his. Until Murrue spoke up convincing respect and protests Garcia.
"Commandant Garcia, with all due, it's crucial for us to head towards Lunar Headquarters immediately. Not to mention, we're being pursued by ZAFT." Murrue implored.
Feeling her emotions rolling off on Murrue and Natarle, Naruto grabbed Murrue's hand, and while Menma got Natarle's under the desk, squeezing it reassuringly to calm them down. This earned a smile, slightly from Murrue and Natarle towards to each of the Uzumaki twins, and then the commandant spoke up.
"By ZAFT, you say?" The Eurasian commandant says at the subject regarding ZAFT's pursued, as he presses the red button on the remote.
The monitor behind Garcia changed from a peaceful forest to a view of Artemis which currently had the Umbrella shield activated and showcasing the three officers sans the three ancient ninjas/Gundam pilots, then the Commandant tapped in another command on the console which shown a ZAFT military frigate nearby was revealed.
Seeing before them made disbelief, while Naruto and the two didn't shown reaction towards at, a lone Laurasia-class Frigate - the Gamow, heading straight to Artemis' impenetrable umbrella, without the Nazca-class ship Vesalius that it usually accompanies.
"The Laurasia-class? I thought there were a fleet of ZAFT vessels pursing us?" Natarle muttered in slight disbelief, looked at the screen, somewhat confused about the current scene she is looking at the ZAFT's frigate were still around.
Even Murrue and Mu, along with the immortal brothers were not too thrilled to see that green ZAFT vessel is still in the area which made all three officers from the Archangel more concerned than ever.
'I believe most of them must've return to the PLANTs for resupplied since our last battle, leaving a single Laurasia-class to continue to pursue.' Menma says in thoughts, mentally informed his brothers.
Hearing Menma's thoughts, made Naruto and Gaara mentally agrees with the former.
Before Garcia began to debrief, after hearing Natarle's questioned, as he turned the office chair in front of the monitor.
"I don't know what fleet you're talking about, Ensign Badgiruel, but as you can see, this one has been wandering around the area outside the umbrella for quite some time." Garcia stated almost nonchalantly like his base came under attack almost every other day that it was almost boring him.
'More like they were scanning the Artemis' defenses to find the weakness to be exploit, perhaps. And that includes just like since Konoha had an invisible sensory barrier around it, since the Rinnegan can able to see it.' Naruto says in thoughts, commented regarding Laurasia-class were planning for the next action.
Which reminded regarding Pein invade Konoha with his Six Paths, since sending one to entered the barrier and summon its fellow paths in full scale attack with a combination of powerful jutsus.
The Commandant flashed them a dangerous grin making the three officers wary at the man's devious behavior, minus the 3 ancient ninjas were not affected by his expression.
"Regardless, one or two more enemy vessels are of little concern to us here." He says, before continues, turning the chair to faced the six members of the Archangel.
"However, this means you wouldn't able to depart here, even if you were resupplied, would you?" He finished, still wearing that smug looked into his face, and thinking had them in their grasp.
Unaware for Garcia that the Archangel had given share of provision provided by Tekkadan; knowing that having tons of supplies from third fraction than the Earth Forces' new warship with a short of supplies.
"Sir, please be reasonable about this. They've after us, not you. We have a big target painted on our heads and we can't afford to risk damage to Artemis by staying here." Mu protested.
Hearing that, which made the Commandant laughs at the Hawk of Endymion, amusingly.
"Damage? To Artemis? Those ZAFT bastards are not going to do a goddamn thing. Besides, they won't be able to do a thing. And they'll eventually leave, when they grow tired. It happens all the time." Garcia says regarding how amusing regarding what Mu had said, which was a little unnerving that he didn't seem at all worried about the safety of the base.
As the blonde Hawk of Endymion spoke up to Commandant, protested regarding this situation.
"However, Commandant, will all due respect, they're…!"
Garcia raised his hand to silencing him. Seeing this, Naruto was loose his patience even more at this man, and was unconsciously releasing a small amount of KI (Killing Intent). The occupants on this room noticed this, and it was getting harder to breathe.
Menma defused it by send a small pulse of chakra to countered it, making Naruto tensed, until noticing Murrue, Natarle, and Mu was having trouble breathing, so he eased up his KI and just glared at the commandant.
'You're making a mistake, 'Commandant'. You have any idea who up against here? The ship before you was part of the Le Creuset Team.' Gaara says in thoughts, joined Naruto, glaring at the commandant.
"Don't worry about it, Lieutenant La Flaga. They won't do anything as long as the Umbrella is up. Now, in any case, I suggest that to recommend to getting some rest. You appear to be very tired, so it seems. I'll have rooms prepared for you." Garcia suggested, as he pressed the same red button on the remote.
"But, Commandant…!" Mu tried to protest again, until Menma gazes at the former to cut him off, before the soldier enters, saluting the Commandant, as the others turned to the door.
"Excuse me, sir!" The soldier responded.
"We'll be able to get in touch with the Lunar Headquarters once they leave." Garcia says gave an order to contact the Lunar Headquarters, as he stood up into his chair, added. "From there, we'll plan everything after that."
With Mu turns back to the Commandant, and spoke up to him, feeling wasn't sure about Artemis' fate.
"Is Artemis really that safe?" He asked certainly to Garcia.
"Yes, I assure you. The Artemis is safe as a baby being carried in the arms of a loving mother. You have nothing to worry about, consider this your shore leave here for the time being." The Commandant replied with his arms raised up, hearing that, making Naruto mentally scoffed of what he had said.
So with that, Garcia turns to the soldier that came in his officer.
"Please escort them to their quarters." He ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier acknowledge, saluted before escorted them out of Garcia's office, rather than forcefully by several guards despite their protests about needing to get back to their ship, immediately.
Unknown to the commandant, Naruto sport out a slight smirked onto his face, sly; keep his eyes straight without roll it at the side behind at Garcia's face, knowing that greedy soldier-wannabe and politic fool didn't know what's coming…
With that, Garcia was alone in his office, and until…
*Beep-beep!*
["Sir, we've just received word that two vessels are approaching the area…"]
A came the voice of one of the soldiers stationed at the Eurasian Federation Fortress right after Garcia pushed a button on the table he sat at in order to respond to the call, which that made him curious.
["It's not a ZAFT vessel yet, and it's not from our forces either!"] He added.
"Is that so?" Garcia wondered.
The Commandant had gotten expecting something interests him, he knew of one way to find out what kind of vessel was approaching the base, so far, knowing sending a squadron of Moebius Zeros to intercept the unknown vessel just to be certain it wasn't with ZAFT or with space pirates.
["Yes, sir…but turns out, these two ships is just…standing there, unlike to the Laurasia-class who is being around the area. I think that it was some sort of merchant ships, perhaps."]
"A merchant ships, huh, then keep an eye out on those ships. There's no telling that if that those vessels came from ZAFT or operated by space pirates then we'll known for certain." Garcia says concluding in the remote on the comms. "Is that understood? Don't lose sight on that unknown ships."
["Yes, sir!"]
==Space; Outside of Artemis==
At distance away from Artemis, a lone vessel, clad with brown (R114, G69, B76) and gray theme, slowly approaching the Eurasian Federation satellite…unaware that the Gamow is still waiting outside following the departure of Vesalius along with the rest to the PLANTs.
"So, that's the Umbrella of Artemis, huh…" A voice of a 17-year old male teenager commented.
Took a sight of a Eurasian Fortress, which unlike to any ships that it's not on the databank since never being registered, if this ship really came from a different company (such as Teiwaz), it would mean that was…
On the bridge of a space ship, consists of two seats in front were meant for the helm and weapons control, and both sides were operator seats, and lastly on the center of the bridge, is the captain's chair.
The person who is sitting the captain's chair is a turquoise hair and yellow eyes, clad with (Tekkadan) uniform (think Eugene's).
"Yes, it seems to have the Lightwave barrier activated." The another 17-year old male with brown hair and eyes, stood besides the captain's seat and slight interest on the sight through that would mean that there might either be enemy forces out there or the base believes them to be enemies though they have no intentions of being part of the war.
"This is only possible when the entire base detects any possible threats to them." He added.
"True, knowing we were under behind schedule since then….until we got word from Apone that they were being double crossed, Felix." The turquoise-haired captain stated.
"I know, I was hoping if nothing happens to Jenna, Piers." The brunette named Felix said.
"True, as long as you did entrust Isaac to take care of her since they were official." The captain named Piers replied, regarding his friend's unsure state. "We got receive a message from our guys at Artemis, includes our bosses."
"We'll be standing by until the barrier is deactivating, once there, we have an Operation: Trojan Horse in our hands. While we had another Assault Ship accompany us since knowing we needed Dutch's team." Flex stated.
"True…" The turquoise-haired captain agrees.
"Captain!" One of the operators in A-side reported, appear to be male pre-teen, and continues. "We pick up a Laurasia-class ship, nearby."
"A Laurasia-class?" Felix muttered with his eyes furrowed, wasn't too pleasant that a ZAFT vessel is actually near the base, before leave the bridge. "Prep my Grimgerde to sortie; we're ready to move until the signal is lighten."
"Roger that, Specialist Major Brennan." Piers reply acknowledged with bit sarcasm.
(AN: Felix and Piers were also from Golden Sun.)
