Gundam Seed Destiny Remake
Phase 6: The End of the World
In his manor Djibril watches the fight going on as he pets his cat. He then lifts his cat up face-to-face. "Now then Tally, how will things play out?", Djibril said smiling. His cat purrs in agreement. The other screens in Djibril's room lights up revealing a large number of his gundams, but among them was the most intimidating one standing on what appears to be a dragon.
Eventually the arrival of the Minerva's mobile suit help the Joule team fight back the G.O.D. Meanwhile Athrun continues his duel against Baron Cancer a psychotic killer, while Cagalli face Keys piloting an unknown gundam.
In the Minerva, Talia notice that Bogey One hasn't launched any of their units yet.
Inside the Girty Lue...
The six White Hope pilots quickly enter their machines as the engineers adds a glider onto the back.
"Remember you're mission is to observe, until I give the order to get involve. If that comes to happen there is a good chance you'll be caught in the atmosphere. The Atmos. Glider will protect you from the pressure and heat as you go down remember that. I'm also having another member to take part of your team. He's new to the group, but a veteran of the first war. I'm sure he'll be a good addition to the team.", Scirocco said before the six machines launch.
In the ruins of Junius Seven Cagalli was having trouble dealing with Keys, NN-X06 Necro Gundam. "What do you mean Athrun's scar has reopened?!", Cagalli asks.
"I suppose I shall tell you, but the question is will you risk telling Athrun the truth I will reveal?", Keys questions before revealing what he means.
Cagalli widen her eyes in horror in what Keys has told her, but before she could ask for more Keys notice that six gundams from the Girty Lue is heading towards his position. "Time for me to go, but I assure you we will meet again, Cagalli Hibiki.", Keys chuckles before disappearing with his gundam in a cloud of smoke. This shocks Cagalli. How did the pilot know her real name?
Meanwhile Athrun was having no luck with his duel with Baron. Every strikes Athrun makes, Baron easily avoid them as if he could see the future
"You're good, but I'm better.", Baron boasts as his GINN grabs the ZAKU's axe hand and kicks it to the chest. Athrun grunts as he brings his ZAKU back to balance. The ZAKU draws out it's beam assault rifle and fires at the GINN. The GINN easily avoids each shot, but Athun got lucky when one shot hits directly to the chest. The GINN then explodes. Athrun breathes heavily over the fight gazing at the smoke, finally avenging his mother's death the for a second his heart froze when he hears a laugh.
"(Laughs) Guess, I got cocky. I should have been more careful, but oh well. What's done is done.", Baron said as his mobile suit walks out of the smoke, but instead of a GINN it was a Gundam unit. Athrun was in total shock as he recognize that Gundam.
"Is that the Justice?", Athrun asks in shock.
"Ah, that's right. This was once your unit, before you blew it up. My friends were able to salvage it's remains and put it back together better then ever. I introduce to you the NN-X01 Corrupt Gundam.", Baron sneers. Before he could proceed any further he stops and sees the White Hope mobile suits heading towards his direction. "Tch! They just had to interfere. No matter. My job is done. We'll meet again, boy." And with that Baron and his Gundam disappears without a trace.
Inside the Minerva's bridge...
"So those forces are using GINNs?", Gilbert asks.
"Yes. They appear to be the High Maneuver Type 2s. It is most likely the ones missing two months ago from a pirate raid.", Talia answers. "Any mother ship close by?"
"No sign of one.", the radar operator reports.
"But what the hell? Does this mean these guys are responsible for altering Junius Seven's orbit?", Arthur questions. "What fool would do such thing?!
"If that's the case, it's all the more reason why we can't let them drop it on Earth!", Talia said. "Please update the pilots!"
"Yes, ma'am!", Meyrin said.
Even though the terrorist's most powerful members have vacated the battlefield their grunt units are still giving the Joule Team trouble.
"Who are these guys, anyway?! Even without their Gundam these guys are still giving us trouble!", Dearka curses as the GINN easily avoids his shot.
Yzak flies in and ward of a GINN attacking one of the Meteor Breakers. "The workers are to sontinue with the demolition! If we stop, we're playing right into their hands!" GINN attempts a frontal assault on Yzak as he delivers the order, but Yzak sees him in time and quickly shoots the GINN down.
One of the GINNs hide behind a debris to reload it's weapon and waiting for any daredevil ZAFT pilot to follow him. Mathew, David, and Joey saw through his plan. The three BABIs form a triangle and fires the chest cannon destroying the debris and the unsuspecting GINN.
Sally in her Kampher sees a GINN heading towards her attempting to crush her cockpit by using the Beam Cabine as a club having used up its ammunition. Sally blocks the attack with a ZAKU's rifle and is caught deadlock. Sally reaches for the Sturm Faust on the knee and fires it straight towards the GINNs cockpit destroying it.
Sally then notice her radar alerting her of six units heading to the battlefield. She turns and sees the Forbidden, Raider, Calamity, Artillery, Stealth, and Vengeance.
"Great! Those guys!"
"Hey, hey! What going on here? Is there a civil war going on?", Rick jokes.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that the two sides are violating the dead by fighting here.", Henzo states.
"In any case, we're just here to observe and see what's going on. Don't engage unless necessary.", Law orders.
Nearby Shinn sees them. "Tch! It's them!" Shinn then charges straight towards them.
"We'll get those six today!", Lunamaria said following him.
"Those machines are not our objective!", Rey objects.
"I know that! But there's a good chance they'll attack us. Unless we get rid of them, we won't get any work done, will we?!"
With that Rey reluctantly agrees, but still have a bad feeling.
Minerva's bridge...
"Junius Seven's descent angle has increased by 1.5! Four percent acceleration!"
"Shinn has spotted Bogey One's mobile suits and has moved to engage them!", Meyrin reports.
"Are they attacking?", Talia asks.
"No, they're just standing there. Just watching.", Meyrin answers. Talia then realise what those six are doing they are observing the situation and to see what is going on. Shinn's attack on them would provoke them and give them the wrong idea. "Call, Shinn! Tell him not to engage those six!" Unfortunately the order came too late.
Junius Seven...
The Impulse open fire on the six, but the Stealth Gundam blocks the shot with it's beam shuriken.
"I've seen and fought many young pilots, but this one is by far the most reckless.", Law said as his Calamity fires its shoulder cannons.
Thank's to Shinn's recklessness the two-way battle has become a three-way battle. This makes it more difficult for ZAFT to use their Meteor Breakers.
Minerva's Bridge...
"Sorry, captain. But Shinn has engaged the enemy and now the battle has become a three-way.", Meyrin apologizes.
Talia then turns to Durandal. "Mr. Chairman. What is your assessment of Bogey One's current involvement?"
"Hm?"
"Pirates? Or part of the Earth Forces?"
"Mm... That's a difficult one. I would rather not get into a battle with the Earth Forces."
"There's no saying what it could trigger, after all."
"But the situation has changed."
"Yes."
"In this emergency situation, if they declare themselves to be with the Earth Forces or associated with the Earth Forces, bettling them here would be meaningless."
"On the contrary, after what Shinn did, they could be interpreting our actions as protecting those GINNs."
This shocks the crew after hearing what Gilbert said.
"It can't be helped. If those machines happened to be Daggers you'd be suspicious of the Earth Forces and their participation, wouldn't you?"
"Can we get in touch with Bogey One?"
"If we use the International Rescue Channel."
"Then try reaching them using that channel. Make it clear to them that we are making every effort to crush Junius Seven and stop it from falling to Earth."
In the battlefield...
Yzak's Slash ZAKU Phantom draws out it's beam pole-axe and cuts down two GINNs with great skill.
Athrun eventually returns to the battlefield after recovering over what transpired with Baron and assist with the defense. With great skill he easily disarmed two GINNs and fought the Artillery Gundam to a standstill.
Lunamaria's ZAKU face off against Kagura's Rot Forbidden Gundam, but like last time was having great difficulty against her. As the battle rages on the people on Earth watch news report of Junius Seven falling to the planet.
President Copeland move to the press conference to reveal the news.
"I must inform you all of a very serious situation.", Copeland announce. "As rumored, Junius Seven has drifted out of its orbit and is currently approaching Earth."
In Argentina...
A shadowed group watch the news.
"It looks like Djibril's puppet is doing his job."
"Indeed and once word spread that the coordinators are responsible for this the world will enter a bloodlust."
"Have our forces retreated to the safe zones?", the one in the center with glowing green eyes question in a robotic tone.
"Indeed they have?"
"Good, once the colony enter the atmosphere have all out bases activate the barriers.", the being said before leaving. "By the way have the descendants of the Americans...?"
"Fear not, sir. They will suspect G.O.D. in responsible for this. Thanks to our double agents Djibril and Baron Cancer."
"Good with any luck they will eliminate the traitors once they return to Earth before we make our move."
Somewhere in the Marshall Islands...
Reverend Malchio, Caridad Yamato, and Lacus Clyne watches the news of the event.
"The Orb government has formed an alliance with the governments of the world and has discussed the best way to deal with the situation.", Unato announce. "Unfortunately, given the lack of time we have yet to come up with an effective solution."
Junius Seven...
The ZAFT forces were able to start the surviving Meteor Breakers, while in the Girty Lue Damien receive a message from the Minerva of the situation at hand.
The commander of the operation notice the colony breaking apart and moves in the destroy the remaining Meteor Breakers. Dearka's ZAKU spots him and fire his cannon, but the unit avoid the shot with a loss of a leg.
"Hurry! If we take our sweet time, it'll be too late even it we can get it to split!", Yzak said.
Although the Artillery Gundam mainly serves as a long-range unit, it proves to hold it's own in close combat against Athrun's ZAKU.
Luna fires her beam rifle, but Kagura easily deflect the shots with her katana.
Rey successfully shoots down a GINN HM II just in time for the ZAFT team to start another Meteor Breaker.
This got the colony to split in half.
"Great! We did it!", Dearka cheers. The three sides stop fighting as they watch the colony separate. Unfortunately half of it it still falling to Earth.
"We're not done yet!" Athrun said heading for the falling piece. "We need to break it into smaller pieces."
Both Yzak and Dearka were surprised to hear Athrun's voice. "Bastard! What the hell are you doing here?!" Yzak angrily asked.
"That's not important right now!" Athrun replied. "We must continue with our mission!"
"I know that." Yzak smirks happy to hear that Athrun haven't changed..
Dearka and Shiho grabs a fallen Breaker as Yzak and Athrun flew cover for them. "You haven't changed, Yzak." Athrun commented as they travel.
"Neither have you!"
Dearka fix his neck and groans. "Here we go again."
A group of insurgents rose up from behind a large slab of rock, ambushing the group as they reached the drill site. Both Athrun and Yzak immediately start their counterattack.
Yzak swung his beam axe in a wide arc, slicing a GINN in half and hacking the legs off another. The third fired on him, but Yzak was faster, dodging the beams and stabbing the GINN through the head with a beam saber.
Athrun guns down two GINNs when a third rushed him. Athrun grabs one of his grenades. Just as the GINN reach him, Athrun slams the grenade into the GINN's eye slit, just left of the monoeye. Athrun pulls back just before the grenade exploding, taking out the GINN. Dearka fired his gun launcher at last two of GINNs the group, destroying them as Shiho set up the Breaker.
More shows up. "Yzak!", Ahturn shouts spotting them.
"Shut up! I'm the one in command here! Stop giving orders!" Yzak said cutting down another GINN. "You damn civilian!"
A GINN caught Athrun by surprise, but before it could strike Athrun down, Cagalli in her ZAKU destroys it first.
Shinn arrives to assist, but was left awestruck at the skills of veteran pilots.
"So these are the abilities of the survivors of Jachin Due?"
The Meteor Breaker, along with several more, activated, tearing through the colony. Chucks broke away from Junius Seven. Reducing it's size even more. But it still wasn't enough.
"Shinn! What are you doing?! We're not finished with our mission yet!", Athrun said snapping Shinn out of his awe.
The Girty Lue fire off it's retreat flares. Alerting the White Hope members to return.
Aboard the Minerva, the crew let out a sigh of relief. "Looks like they finally believe us." Durandal comments.
"That may be true, or there could be another reason." Talia said.
"Another reason?"
"The Altitude." she replies. "If we continue to fall with Junius Seven, the ship won't be able to escape Earth's gravity." Talia sighs. "We must decide now what lives we cannot afford to lose. Who we can save, and who we cannot." Talia turns to Durandal. "I'm sorry to have to bring this up under the circumstances, but please make your way over to the Voltaire. The Minerva will now descend into the atmosphere and continue with the demolition of the object with the Tannhauser."
"What?!" Arthur said completely stunned. "You can't mean...!"
"I don't know how muct more we can do, but it wouldn't be right if we didn't try everything we could."
"Talia. However..."
"I'm a woman with lots of luck. Please trust me."
"All right. Thank you, Talia." Durandal solemnly said, rising from his seat. "I appreciate it."
"Thank you." Talia salutes him. "Now, please hurry, Mr. Chairman."
"Inform the Voltaire that the Chairman is transferring to their ship. And fire the retreat flares." Talia orders.
The Minerva fire it's flares as text messages appear on the consoles of the ZAFT mobile suits. "It's time to withdraw. We're getting too close to the atmosphere." Sally said. "All forces withdraw. The Minerva's going to try to break it up further with it's main cannon."
The survivors of the ZAFT fleet withdrew to their ships as Minerva pilots head back to the Minerva. Shinn was heading for the Minerva with them when he caught Athrun and Cagalli setting up a Meteor Breaker.
"What are you doing?!" Shinn asks as he rush to their position. "Orders have been given for us to return! You should've received the notice!"
"We notice. You'd better hurry on back." Cagalli replies.
"Firing from a distance there's a greater margin for error even with the Minerva's main cannon!" Athrun adds. "So if we can at least get this one going..."
Beams suddenly hit the ground near the Breaker. "NO!" Sato roars as he lead a trio of GINNs towards the group. "I won't let you stop it! AMS (Automatic Mobile Suits) destroy the worms, I'll deal with the Breaker!"
The trio quickly arm themselves with close-range weapons as Sato fire on the Breaker.
"My daughter's tombstone must be dropped and burned for the this world to change!" one pilot scream as he raced towards the trio.
"I don't care!" Cagalli screams back as she head for the GINN. "I won't let you bring down Junius Seven! Such a tragedy must never be unleashed on the world again!" She slice the GINN in half at the waist with her beam axe. "I will not let the world suffer for the sake of your vengeance."
"His daughter? Who are these guys?" Shinn ask.
"I thought so. Only one group would be insane enough to do this. The diehard fanatics of Patrick Zala." Cagalli grimly answer. "The maniacs that believe that the only way for Coordinators to live safely is to get rid of every last Natural. They're no better than Blue Cosmos."
"You bastard! Don't you dare compare us to them!" an insurgent shouts, racing towards Cagalli with his sword. Athrun quickly shoots it down before fighting Sato.
"Why have you forgotten the sorrow of the lives mercilessly thrown away here?! Why do you live in a fabricated world, laughing with those who caused this?! Have you all forgotten our mission that our creators have given us?", Sato rants as he continue his clash with Athrun. "Tricked by the cowardly successors of Clyne ZAFT has change for the worse and now we are declared worthless! Even if he was a fake the path of Patrick Zala is the one and only path!"
Athrun widen his eyes in shock and horror on what he just heard. His father he has known after the Bloody Valentine was an imposter all this time. If that was the case, what has become of his real father.
The second last GINN lunge at Shinn with his sword. Shinn sidestep the GINN and hacks off it's sword arm. But that didn't stop the pilot. The GINN jump Shinn, wrapping it's legs around the Impulse. A moment later, the GINN self-destruct, throwing Shinn back, but not before the pilot screams. "Long live the Neo Nazis!"
"Shinn!" Athrun call out.
At that very moment, torso of the GINN hit the Meteor Breaker, triggering it. The drill descends into Junius Seven. But nothing happen...
The Minerva...
"Initiating Descent Sequence Phase Two." Arthur said as the Minerva's wings fold as it enters the atmosphere.
"What about the Impulse and the two ZAKUs?" Talia asks.
"I can't locate them, ma'am" Meyrin report.
"They'll suffer this time! The Descendants of the Americans will feel our creator's wrath!" Sato screams as he grabs the leg of Athrun's ZAKU, pulling him down.
"Descendants of the Americans? Does he mean the Atlantic Federation? What do they have to do with this?", Cagalli question.
Suddenly, Shinn appears, slicing the leg off with his beam saber and kicking Sato to the surface of Junius Seven.
"Hail, Sturm!", Sato screams as his unit crash and explode.
Shinn grabs the ZAKU and head for the Minerva alongside Cagalli. At that very moment, a massive crack formed from where the last Breaker had gone through. Splitting the quarter of the colony in two.
Athrun, Shinn and Cagalli struggle to reach the Minerva, but gravity's pull was too strong and the three fall to Earth.
Nearby 'Baron Cancer' watches the three falling to Earth. "If you survive this then we will meet again... son."
Somewhere in the Marshall Islands...
"Now hurry up everyone." Lacus calmly said, helping Caridad and Reverend Malchio usher the children into the shelter under the church.
"What is it? Where are we going?" one child asks.
"Oh I know! Shopping, right?!" a little girl asks.
"I still want to play." another said.
Lacus glance at the deck of their house, expecting Kira to be there. But he wasn't. The smile dropped from her face. "Kira?" she calls out, searching for him.
Lacus quickly spots him. Kira was standing on the beach. Watching the first pieces of Junius Seven streak across the sky.
