Kazuma and Edge give each other confused looks when Edge spoke " this is supposed to be a training mission , why will there be anything here and besides this system is our air space " Kazuma then talks to Edge nearly shouting at him " did you hear the commander , he said be ready for anything " Yuto then calls Kazuma and Edge " focus you two " as they head into the area to investigate.
The Greater United Nations is a benefit to humanity and expanding their government and protected by its military the greater united nations armed forces (GUN-AF) terra-forming planets and forming alliances with other S.D planets, races, and finally eventually colonizing 11 different star Greater United Nations is a benefit to humanity but some of its subjects are hungry for independence four of the systems had joined forces , under the flag of the freedom alliance (FA) declares war against the Greater United Nations.
Just as Yuto's squad moves in they were ambushed by FA forces. Yuto then gives the command " all units evasive action and take down the enemy, don't get yourselves killed. " the team then splits off to engage the enemy with the threat destroyed they return to the Acropolis.
The captain of the ship then talks to Yuto " are you all ok ? "
" Yes , it is because we are lucky we still do not know who they are that attacked us. " Yuto responds. " We should return to the UN to inform the leaders of this impeding crisis. "
Yuto then walks into a large room filled with people sitting at a round table with three people on the high seat known as the high council members Cagalli , Lacus and Margas the chairman of their nations ORB, the earth alliance, and ZAFT along with a representative from each of the surviving nations together they make up the Greater UN government.
Standing near the table on the opposite side were the other members of FAITH , Yuto steps forward to join them. The High Council then talk to Yuto about his report. Yuto responds to the matter in a rather cold way and not any different than before " yes , we were attacked by a mysterious rebel force " getting straight to the point. The other members of FAITH also said the same thing but all are able to escape unharmed.
" yes, we noticed the unrest in the Gamma sector and chances are this can be related " said one council member.
" if this really is a war we should fight back " said another person
Lacus then tries to calm everyone down " we do not know enough yet, what this disturbance is and the reason why our forces are attacked, it will be best if we try to avoid a upcoming war, remember what happened last time it happened it almost destroyed both ZAFT and Earth. We should take a calm approach to this and avoid going into war at all costs."
The council then commands FAITH to investigate the current disturbances using a diplomatic approach without the use of force and only using force when needed. The members of FAITH accepts the decision of the council by raising their hand in salute to the leaders " agreed we will investigate this matter at ounce and resort to the use of force if all else fails. "
The members of FAITH then go back to their assigned sector posts. Three days later there was an attack on the Alpha Sector a part of the United Nations space Yuto's squad was called to destroy the threat but try to ensure the safety of the allied nations which turns out to be a spy working for the FA forces. The freedom alliance then declares war on the Greater United Nations.
( " this was supposed to be a training mission , what will we do now " ) Edge thought to himself. Yuto also thought of his friends Athrun and Kira but then pushed the thought away thinking ( " no I cannot rely on them anymore we are all members of F.A.I.T.H. now. " ) Kazuma was in his room when the ship shock violently the crew cabins only consists of a table, a bed , and a cabinet for any personal items. A few seconds later the ship shock again, the lights then turned a dim red and the sirens blared out.
" attention all crew members , level one battle stations... I repeat , to all crew members, level one battle stations " the announcement echoed throughout the ship.
Yuto made his way to the bridge, while Kazuma and Edge went to the hanger. " what the heck is happening " they thought.
Kazuma and Edge quickly change into their flight suits and went over to their assigned mobile suits before they got into the pilot seat they were told by the maintenance leader that they both will be flying in another mobile suit as a precaution " you will be assigned to use the Core Splendor and Freedom models for this sortie prepare to launch in two mins. "
" why not the ones were were assigned to ? " Kazuma asks
" we are basically going into this battle blind so we cannot risk the mobile suits running out of power and besides the new pilots are also trained to use a verity of MS weapons besides the one assigned to you, and Kazuma you take flight lead these are the commander's orders."
" right " Kazuma responds and got into the Core Splender, while Edge gets into the Freedom and are then loaded onto the flight deck.
" Kazuma Sakaki , Core Splender launching "
" Edge Maverick , Freedom launching "
Kazuma and Edge then both launch into battle with Kazuma taking lead , while Yuto observes the battle from inside the ship telling them " don't go too far from this ship otherwise Kazuma you are given free command out on the battlefield. "
" Roger that , Core Splender engaging " Kazuma responds after he scans the area seeing a few assault suits and many other support crafts. Kazuma then commands Edge to cover him. The efforts of Kazuma and Edge are only able to do so much due to their lack of combat experience, Yuto seeing the two younger pilots struggle with the overwhelming force decides to launch.
