Phantom Island #5...
Russel in his ZGMF-2300 Gyan Guardian tries toa piece of machinery moved by Miguel in his ZGMF-2200 Gelgoog Elite HM Type.
"Forward! Forward! Just little bit forward! You green coats know what forward is don't you?", Russel asks.
"Yeah," replies Miguel, "It's how a red coat behaves on a first date."
Just then, the rig designed to move the equipment breaks and Miguel flies through the air crashes into Russel.
"Stupid, green coat. A block and tackle is too complicated for you? They've only been using them for ten thousand years!", Russel grumbles.
"I can handle a block and tackle!", Miguel growls. "You can't set the brake pins properly!"
The two suits raise their fists ready to fight. Dale in his ZGMF-1000 Hospital ZAKU Warrior rush to the scene.
"I heard a crash! Are you two okay?", Dale asks.
"No, we ain't okay! Russel here is going to need a hospital after this!", Miguel shouts.
"Hey, now cut it out! You don't want to fight each other!", Dale said getting between them.
"The heck we don't!", both Miguel and Russel shout together as they grab and throw Dale out of the way.
The two True ZAFT members wrestle one another to the ground, until Heine in his ZGMF-X2000 GOUF Ignited (Refit) tears them apart. "Alright, you two! You're suppose to be brothers-in-arm! Save your fight for the AMS! Now who started this fight?"
"He did!", Miguel and Russel yell simultaneously while pointing to one another.
"He didn't set the brake pins!", Miguel points out.
"That wasn't my job! That was...", Russel said before the two realize who's job it is. "...Henry's!"
Elsewhere, Henry in his UMF-3 ASH was taking a nice long nap, unaware of the event that just transpired.
Phantom Island #1...
"I see that everything is going well.", Samantha said reading the reports.
"We only have two problems left, energy and pilots.", Law said.
"That true. With a big battle coming mobile suits can easily use up alot of energy and there are high chances of being shot down while trying to return to the ship to recharge."
"I may have a suggestion. Remember how the Impulse was able to recharge it's battery in the battlefield from the Minerva through what they called the Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System."
"Yes, that is a useful system, but we're talking about hundreds of mobile suits. Not just one."
"Which is why the tech guys created this.", Law said handing Samantha the blueprints.
"Broadcast Energy..."
Alaska...
"...Transmitter?", Valeri asks.
"Yes, sir. It was a device designed to provide a solution to the planet's energy needs, but the idea was scrapped when the Alliance were desperate for mobile suits."
"So in other words this device can re-energize dozens of mobile suits through a pulse-like effect. That makes the system the Minerva used on the Impulse obsolete.", Valeri said interested in the device. "This could keep my AMS in the battlefield almost infinitely. Where is this machine now?"
"According to our spies the testing site for the device is something in Yukon, Canada guarded by True ZAFT.", the agent answers. "But how are you going to steal it. The moment you use your AMS the OMNI Enforcers will already know it's you."
"Ah, but what if it was someone else?", Valeri said with a evil grin as the hanger door behind him opens up. The agent was completely shocked at what he see inside.
Phantom Island #1...
"I also told Jason to fast forward the training of our new recruits. The sooner the can graduate the sooner they can fight.", Law said.
"That's easier said that done. Unlike Blue Cosmos we go by quality than quantity. In other words they must survive Jason first.", Samantha said. "Despite the fact they were freed Extendeds."
Phantom Island #5...
"Back off! Come on, guys! Back off!"
Miguel and Russel climbs a stack of metal crates in pursuit of Henry, who is at the top of the stack, while Heine and Dale tries to restrain the two angry True ZAFT pilots.
"Hey, back off! Quit shaking the pile!", Henry said trying to keep his balance.
"When we get our hands on you! You stupid little...", Miguel growls.
"Alright, at ease!", Byakuya shouts walking to the group. "Everyone front and center!"
"Yeah, what's up commander?", Henry asks.
"Lady Allen has tasked us to test and guard a new toy, the BET, Broadcast Energy Transmitter.", Byakuya explains.
"Anyone else, besides us?", Miguel asks.
"Only Representative Athha, but only out of goodwill.", Byakuya said. "We leave in an hour."
Alaska...
Valeri stands before an army of shadowed figures.
"You all understand your mission?", Valeri asks. The figures nods. "Good then you may proceed."
Valeri's agent then walks up to him. "How did you do that? The look and act like the real thing. Even the scanners say their are living organics."
"That is something for you to find out on your own.", Valeri said before walking back to his lab to finish his masterpiece.
Yukon...
Near the test site several nomads start blowing their horns as True ZAFT start their work.
"Catchy tune, isn't it guys. One more time!", Jack said passing Courtney another computer chip.
"They can't hear you Jack.", Courtney said installing the chip.
"Well, Courtney. Every nation will know about the BET. Transference of energy through the usage of electronic waves, a complete opposite of the Gungnir System."
"Yeah, with this our mobile suits energy crisis is finally solved. The BET will recharge them during battle so they won't bother returning to the ship unless for repairs."
Jack passes Courtney the last chip.
Liz then walks to the group. "The powerless mobile suits are in place. Ready to be recharged."
"Alright then. Begin the testing.", Byakuya said in his mobile suit. "Princess Athha, since you are our guest maybe you should start the machine."
"Well it'll give to a better view on how this thing work and stop calling me princess.", Cagalli said climbing onto the tank. Cagalli flicks the switch starting the BET on.
The BET fire waves of energy towards the powerless mobile suits. The monitors start up and the battery enters full charge.
"Alright, it works!"
A Robert, a Green Coat, leans on his GAZuOOT as he watches the BET do it's thing. Suddenly his GAZuOOT starts up and wheels away causing Robert to fall to the ground.
"Hey!"
"The BET started Robert's GAZuOOT!", Jack said seeing what happened.
"Shut the BET. It'll probably stop it.", Byakuya orders.
Cagalli shuts the BET down, but the GAZuOOT is still driving away with Robert chasing after it.
"Wow, you! Stop! Stop! Stop!", Robert screams as he climbs onto the leg before going out of site from the hill. Robert in the his GAZuOOT runs back to the group. "Go! Go! Go! It's ZAFT!"
Byakuya's radar shows that they are being attack from all sides. "Form a defensive circle and defend the BET! The rest of you prepare to counter-attack! Miguel!"
"Got it.", Miguel said as he pulls out a detonator and presses it. The ground then explodes creating a circular trench. "Take cover in the trench and protect the Rangers! We've got to hold out, until reinforcements arrive."
Phantom Island #1...
"Movat and Tovam?", Samantha questions. "If I recall, aren't they Djibril's twin sons?"
"Yes, and lately the family company, Supreme Enterprises have increased in almost everything since the whole LOGOS witch-hunt, even become the largest industrial corporation in both Earth and the colonies.", Law said.
"I won't be too surprised that they survived the hunt. They command the most powerful private military force of all, the Shadow Guards. They may be a small force, but they are just a lethal as a nation's military."
"In any case, the movements with the Shadow Twins and Valeri can only mean on thing."
"The Neo Nazis are returning, but the question now is the target, the Atlantic Federation or the organization of their traitors, G.O.D."
"Either way, the upcoming war might soon to me the bloodiest of them all."
Yukon...
Russel's Gyan toss it's shield equipped with beam cutters like a yo-yo cutting down the enemy mobile suits surrounding him.
Miguel's Gelgoog throws the beam naginata like a boomerang cutting down a good number of mobile suits.
"I can take them all out by myself!", Russel boast cutting down a GOUF.
"And let you take all the fun and glory. Forget it!", Miguel retorts shooting down a ZAKU.
The two then face each other arguing, while taking down any attackers approaching them from behind without looking and breaking stride in their argument.
"Oh, yeah, meathead?!", Miguel shouts as both he and Russel raise their rifle and shoot down an enemy behind them.
Dale watched the whole thing in the trench. "I don't know what I'd rather believe - that either they both possess a sixth sense or that Lady Luck has a twisted sense of humor."
Byakuya picks up a beam axe from a fallen enemy ZAKU and throws it to an enemy GAZuOOT. He then see ZAFT land-class battleships approaching. "Rangers take out those ships, before they get into firing range!"
One ZAKU Ranger shot down an enemy Lesseps-Class with it's final shell. "I'm out!"
A ZAKU starts reloading the Ranger, while four others guards it.
Robert in his GAZuOOT shoots down a ZAKU with it's shoulder cannon, but a GOUF got close enough and swings it's beam sword, but before it could do that the Gouf was cut in half, by the GAZuOOT with beam saber in hand.
"Sorry, but my TFA-4V GAZuOOT Thrasher don't have the weakness of the standard GAZuOOTs with some additional changes.", Robert said. "Allow me to demonstrate!" The GAZuOOT Thrasher jump and the the tank treads on the back of the legs shifts under the foot, serving as roller skates. The arms change back to triple cannons. "These modifications makes my GAZuOOT rival that of the DOMs."
Heine cuts down the last of the enemy unit. "These are definitely not AMS as my scanners detected life-signs during the attack."
Just then another enemy mobile suit reveals itself and to everyone's shock it's the Strike Freedom. Before anyone could do anything the Strike Freedom leaves the area.
Athrun and Cagalli were both puzzled by this. "Was this a frame up or did ZAFT really attack?"
Later...
The True ZAFT members start packing up after they finish testing the new equipment.
"Word just came through. Cagalli and Athrun Zala have arrive safely to Washington DC.", Miguel said.
"That's good. If something were to happen to them Orb would have been another enemy.", Russel said.
With Heine and Byakuya.
"You think it was really ZAFT and not the AMS?", Heine asks.
"It's the only logical answer. We even checked the cockpits of those destroyed suits and there are people inside. However those bodies need to be studied in order to be sure. They could be clones.", Byakuya said. Just then there was an explosion.
It was raining missiles forcing everyone to take cover.
"Run for it! ZAFT is counter-attacking!", Miguel shouts.
"Hang on, Miguel! It's not ZAFT! The ones firing at us is the AF Naval Fleet, they think ZAFT is still attacking us." Russel said as they both take cover in the woods.
"What?! I thought you told those guys we kicked ZAFT out of here!"
"You're kidding! I thought you told them!"
"But you were the one!"
"Me? It was suppose to be you!"
The two once again argue during the chaos.
