Here we are, the breaking of Junius Seven and view of Kira and Lacus on...well alot of things
Plus the introduction of the possible leaders of the Earth Alliance, two you know (one is one of my favourite characters from Wing) while another is a bit of a mystery but a past, present and future closely tied to the last series protagonist. Also apologies to the Lacus Clyne fans for this chapter...but lets face it, its a really good point thats bought up, and I could imagine the epic music and voices if this scene was ever drawn out as an anime.
Oh and if people have been offended by what Vincent has said to Lacus then I will say this, he was at a point in his sanity where he just says "enough about Lacus being an angel" I'd like to think that it shows that Lacus isnt necessarily right in all the things she does either. I wont make any apologies about it, hell I like her character too, but quite frankly this was a scene that I felt could really portray not just Vincent's view, but other peoples views on Lacus. So enjoy the scene!
Gundam Seed Destiny or Liberty
Chapter 9: Anger of the living
The beach seemed to be a contrast to space, the waves were peaceful and the setting sun was a sight to behold. But the real sight was the sky; many could see the chaos and explosions. Kira Yamato looked at the battle; knowing that the girl he loved and his best friend were right in the middle of it.
"Kira!"
He turned to Lacus, whom had two children at her side. Kira nodded his head, walking into the cabin. Murrue and Andy were helping the children and Malchio into the underground shelter, built courtesy of Andy's old ZAFT contacts. It was strong enough to survive the bombarded, but the children were still frightened. Kira shut the door behind him and took a seat, sitting with his "family" as he waited for the imminent bombardment. He remembered all the times he had fought, and the day he learnt of the atrocity committed by Sensou, one that had at one point threatened to break him and Flay apart.
It was an ordinary morning; Andy had coffee on the go while Lacus was making breakfast with the children. She was recovering from Gekido's death well; it had been the children that helped her to move on. Kira sat down on the table, reading over the paper that was sent to the house. He smirked at a picture of Tachi, Gekido's cloned adoptive brother. The young man had set up a respectable telecommunications company. He'd adjusted well to his "resurrection" and reinstatement into public life. Kira flipped the page, widening his eyes at the headline.
"Sensou: Protectors or Tyrants?"
He grabbed the TV remote and switched the channel to Orb news network. Reporters and journalists had gathered at a stand, with Flay addressing them.
"Miss Murrue, Mr Waltfeldt, Lacus come here!" Kira said.
The three former war leaders walked into the living room. Lacus gasped at what she saw while Andy and Murrue took seats. They both decided to watch before forming any opinions. Cameras flashed at Flay as she spoke of Sensou's actions.
"As you are each well aware Commander Rach had destroyed the True Faith terrorist faction, his actions while controversial have undeniably saved lives" Flay said.
"Excuse me Chairwoman Alster, Gardner Fox CTN news, is it true that Sensou acted without any sanction from the Alliance government?"
"Sensou is not under the command of the Alliance!" Flay growled.
"But you can't deny that the Alliance wanted True Faith destroyed as well"
"Yes they did want True Faith gone, whether it was because of the threat they represented to the people or the democratic system I can not comment or speculate on, what I can tell you is that True Faith had launched unprovoked attacks on civilian regions and had every intention to repeat those attacks"
"Chairwoman, Evan Davis from the BBC, many are saying that his is the beginning of Sensou's fall into a tyrant regime, what do you have to say to that?"
Flay paused for a moment and Kira was dreading the answer.
"At this point Sensou has no intention of becoming an organisation that fits the description of "tyrants" but as history recalls tyrants that have ruled over countries have been the only source of order, when those tyrants are eliminated the people of that country hate the country that freed them, we will do the same, eliminate tyrants who commit crimes against humanity…then we will simply leave the country to elect another leader" Flay explained.
"And what if that leader becomes a tyrant?"
"Then we repeat the process of attack and eliminate until the leaders of that country learn that "this" is the line and if you cross that line you will be bought down"
She didn't sound like the girl he had known on the Archangel. Flay sounded more like a hardened war veteran, but she had never really been a soldier.
"Mary Collins, PLANT news network, a lot of Plant citizens are saying that the leadership of Sensou should have been left to Lacus Clyne, what's your opinion of that statement?"
"No comment!"
"Chairwoman is it true that Commander Rach was the only soldier to be deployed in the True Faith extermination? And if so are there any concerns over his mental state?"
"To be honest yes there have been concerns but I assure you that he is perfectly capable of leading Sensou, now if you excuse me I have more Sensou business to attend to, any further questions you have can be asked on the fourteenth next week" Flay said.
Kira gasped as the news the explained what had happened to the religious group known as true faith. A few days later, Flay came back to Orb for her monthly reunion with Kira. The two sat on the edge of the cliff face, behind Gekido's grave overlooking the sea. Kira had his arm wrapped around Flay's waist while Flay rested her head on his shoulder.
"Why did he do it?" Kira asked.
"What's that Kira?" Flay asked.
"Vincent Rach, why did he have to kill them, not all of those people might have agreed with what was going on, and the child soldiers could have been reintegrated into society" Kira explained.
Flay got off the floor, hugging her arms as she walked away from Kira.
"Is that how you see it?" She asked.
"Lacus sees it that way, from what I've heard Canard and Lowe saw it that way too" Kira said.
"Really? Well if that's your opinion I cant change it, but I can honestly say that what he did wasn't right, even he says that it wasn't right, but what he did saved lives"
Kira gasped, getting off the floor and grabbing Flay's shoulders.
"Is that the kind of person you are now Flay, is that the kind of legacy Gekido left, "if you don't play ball we'll kill you and everyone important to you" is that what Gekido would have wanted?"
"OF COURSE NOT KIRA!" Flay yelled, swinging round to face her boyfriend.
Kira widened his eyes, stepping back as Flay wiped a tear from her eye.
"You and Lacus weren't there Kira, you weren't in the position to make judgements, Vincent's choice tore him apart inside, you should have seen him, he was cradling a burning child in his hands, that's why he wears those gloves, to hide the burns on his hands, to hide the shame he feels everyday and will continue to feel until the day he dies" Flay explained. "Your some all powerful Ultimate coordinator Kira, do you understand the concept of scars?" She asked.
"I…"
"Have no scars Kira, you don't have any scars I should know after all, you survive countless battles, you survive an explosion and still you have not a single scar to show for it, your lack of scars isn't just a show of your strength, it's a show of your lack of dedication"
"Flay that isn't fair" Kira said.
"Well get used to those kind of judgements Kira because Vincent sure has to…I love you Kira, I do but you need to understand others, I'll see you again next week Kira, I need to get back to work"
She kissed him then left, Kira didn't even have the heart to walk her to the airport. He looked at his body in the mirror; it didn't have scars or burns, nothing to show that he had been a soldier once. A few days later, Kira and the "family" sat at the TV, watching as the media waited for Flay to give another speech. But much to their surprise, Vincent walked out onto the stage. He had dark rings under his eyes, and his uniform wasn't as clean as you'd expect it to be.
"Hello everyone, you all know me as Commander Rach, I'm here to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability"
There was a moment of silence before a reported raised her hand.
"Excuse me Commander, do you believe that fans of her are correct when they say that Lacus Clyne should have led Sensou?"
"Commander are the rumours true that Lacus is a secret founder of Sensou?"
"Can you offer any insight onto where Lacus may be?"
"Do you think its time to step down and offer leadership to more affective people?"
Vincent gripped the microphone before slamming his hand against the stand. The reporters stopped asking their questions and gasped as Vincent spoke.
"I'll answer your questions with a question of my own, where were you?" He asked.
Kira looked at Vincent curiously while the journalists whispered amongst themselves.
"I'M ASKING YOU LACUS CLYNE WHERE WERE YOU!" Vincent yelled.
Lacus widened her eyes, putting a hand to her mouth. It was as if Vincent was looking straight at her, his eyes lit up with contempt and hatred.
"Where were you when my men and I were digging bodies out of the rubble, where were you when my men were sacrificing life and limb in the frontline to face people who refused to accept the peace, where were you when I watched hundreds die on hospitals, where were you when the parents of children spat in my face cursing me for not being able to protect their prides and joys…I'll tell you, I'll tell all of you where she was"
He grinded his teeth together, tears falling from his face as he looked at the cameras, seemingly looking into Lacus's eyes.
"SINGING ON A BEACH SOMEWHERE! TUCKING SOME KIDS INTO BED! LIVING OFF THE PEACE THAT MEN AND WOMEN CONTINUE TO DIE FOR! You lectured others about peace, you self righteously and arrogantly put yourself on a pedestal and preached about peace and the sacrifices of others, but in the end your not the one fighting, your not the one who has to see the faces of the people, the voices of the people that he has killed every night…and Gekido, he thought you'd be the first person to sacrifice your happiness, the first person to put themselves forward in order to defend a peace that his brothers in arms died in order to get, don't any of you dare even mention the name Lacus Clyne to me again because Lacus Clyne is the last person you should trust with the responsibility of Sensou…no more questions, no more!" He whispered, walking away from the stand.
Lacus looked at the screen with tears in her eyes. Later that night, she thrashed around in her sleep. Not even her dreams offered her comfort from what Vincent had said. She saw the twisted bodies of people whom had died.
"Where were you?" They asked.
"They're right Lacus!"
Lacus turned her head, widening her eyes as she saw the edge of a cliff face. Standing at the edge of the cliff was the man that Lacus saw in her dreams everyday. He was wearing his sleeveless grey top and cargo pants. His wild grey hair was just as she remembered it.
"Gekido!" Lacus whispered.
He turned around, both his eyes were intact and they were as peaceful as Lacus remembered. She ran forward, her nightgown shifting into the white and purple dress she had worn when they first met. With a jump she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his. He gripped the back of her shoulders, keeping his eyes open while she closed her peacefully.
"They're right Lacus, you didn't sacrifice anything" Gekido said.
Lacus let go of Gekido, looking at him in confusion. He grinded his teeth together, his eyes giving off a faint glow as his cyber suit covered his body. Suddenly his arm shot out, grabbing Lacus's neck. She gripped his fingers, choking as Gekido lifted her off the ground.
"War will come again, because you sat back to enjoy the peace" Gekido said.
He turned around, dangling Lacus off the edge of the cliff. His eyes glowed intensely with the hatred he only felt for his enemies.
"Gekido" Lacus whispered.
She would wake up from those dreams sweating, with Murrue offering her comfort and a shoulder to cry on. Now they sat in a shelter, awaiting the end of the world. They were the lucky ones regular civilians were less fortunate. In major cities, Alliance and Sensou jeeps were rolling across streets. A ground GM placed several civilians on the path towards one of the air transports. Sensou troops were working on overtime trying to evacuate some areas.
"The whole city, there's no possible way we could evacuate every inch of New York, hell the people are in uproar hear" A Sensou commander said over the radio.
"I don't care how long it takes, just make sure you get people out of any tall buildings, those things are targets for falling debris"
"Yes Director Argyle"
In Moscow, hate was already beginning to form as riots broke out. Looters seeking to rob stores and racists attacking Coordinators on the streets, they were already beginning to point fingers. A thug loaded a pistol, moving towards a green haired coordinator.
"YOUR PEOPLE PUT THAT THING IN THE SKY!" He yelled.
A gunshot echoed through the streets. But it wasn't the thug's gun. A tall Earth Alliance officer had his smoking gun pointed at the air, a platoon of soldiers and riot police. He walked into the middle of the crowd, narrowing his eyes at the smaller men.
"Your acting like a bunch of DOGS!" He roared. "This isn't the time to be pointing fingers, take your families and your loved ones as far away from this region as possible, if any coordinator citizens are attacked I will see all of you put into jail cells in the city and I will make sure your still in there once debris starts falling"
The rioters lowered their weapons, letting the coordinator go. An Earth Alliance soldier rushed towards the officer, holding a telegram. He read the message, shaking his head as he ripped the paper apart. Removing a map from his coat he took his men to a jeep, laying out the map onto the hood of the vehicle.
"Intel suggests that this area will be free from bombardment, I want that area clear of civilians" He explained.
"But Commander Alhazard, Intel assures us that that area wont be hit" A soldier said.
"The Intel came from the Kushneve party, they were one of the communications companies accused of war profiteering from the Junius Seven tragedy, their Intel is unreliable" Bhishma explained.
"But sir!"
"If my instincts prove to be wrong then you can all testify against me at the court martial but I assure you I will not let any of my people die because of the selfishness of aristocrats, now you have your orders, fulfil them"
The Russian officer climbed into a jeep, loading a shotgun and driving towards another area rich in riots. He pulled out a phone, pressing it against his ear.
"Thank you for the real Intel" He said.
"It's no problem, I'll forward any more Intel to you, please make sure the theatre district is also evacuated"
"We will save as many lives as we can Mr Isfrail!" Bhishma said.
On the other end of the line, the man sitting at his desk sighed as he hung up. His brown hair was slicked back and his green eyes had a slight shine to them. He looked at a picture on his desk, the image of a beautiful violet haired woman standing with the Russian theatre in the background. A small box was set out beside the frame, the kind that contained rings of a special nature. "Mr Isfrail" removed a cigarette from his pocket, lighting the tip and blowing a cloud of smoke into the room.
"Excuse me Director Isfrail, the director of the alliance colonial affairs and Senator Khushrenada are on the line" A blue haired woman said.
"Thank you Jessica, please patch them through" Isfrail said, gripping his cane tightly.
Jessica tapped a button on her pad, bringing up two screens in front of Isfrail. One of the screens showed a purple haired man, wearing a white officers uniform whilst the other showed a blonde haired man wearing a business suit. Both were men of the battlefield and men of politics, as well as people whom Isfrail couldn't decide whether he liked or not.
"Scirocco, Treize, how may I help you?" Isfrail asked.
"Jeremiah Isfrail, see you still haven't cut the cancer sticks" Paptimus Scirocco said.
"What do you two want?" Jeremiah asked again.
"We want to know what steps the Earth Alliance is taking to stop Junius Seven" Treize said.
"Presently there is nothing that can be done on our part to stop the fall, though Sensou representatives assure me that their space teams are doing everything they can to stop this" Jeremiah explained.
"Civilians will believe you but don't take us for idiots Jeremiah" Scirocco said.
"If that's the case what are you doing Paptimus?" Jeremiah asked.
Scirocco smiled, removing several files from his desk.
"Right now I am having food sent to refugee camps, I am also having nuclear missiles launched towards Junius Seven in an attempt to by time for ZAFT and Sensou" Scirocco explained.
"I have kept several Virgo units in storage, I've already had them deployed for space in order to shoot down debris and such" Treize said.
"At this point that is all we have to offer, I regret that some people in the Alliance have been "unable" to launch ships at this time" Jeremiah said, stabbing his cigarette into an ashtray.
"I see, perhaps you might want to get on the horn to Djibril, I've heard he has a fortune comparable to the one I made in Jupiter" Scirocco said.
Jeremiah shook his head; though he was thankful that the two men were doing what they could to assist he didn't appreciate Scirocco's condescending tone. Though Treize didn't show it he also knew exactly what Djibril was up to.
"Thank you for your help gentleman, keep yourselves safe"
He disconnected the communication link and got off his chair. Jessica got out of his way as he hobbled towards the exit.
"Jessica I want you to contact Djibril and find out what the fuck he and his cronies are doing, I don't care whether their in the middle of a horse race or whether the freaks bloody getting make up put on, you find him and you get him talking to me clear?" Jeremiah asked.
"Yes sir"
She knew he didn't mean to sound angry with her, on the contrary he was angry with the people who right now weren't doing anything. At a small upper class clubhouse, upper class men were relaxing and drinking. They discussed the fall of Junius Seven, but there was no dedication or desperation in their voices.
"The point is the Earth is in danger because of something that the coordinators put in space" Djibril, the leader of this meeting said.
He smirked as the other men agreed with him.
"When all is said and done, people will ask us why did this happen? And we will give them an answer, the coordinators…we once worked with them to eliminate the rogue Uragiri, a mistake on our part, relying on those coordinators like that" Djibril explained.
"A large majority of the people would probably want to go back to that alliance, not to mention we have campaigners to acknowledge that fool Gekido Jaeger's actions" One business man said.
"The thought of it is tempting but still foolish" Said another.
"War will come, and when the war is over it will be we who move the world into a new world order, for the sake of our blue pure world" Djibril smiled.
The men stopped what they were doing as they heard someone laughing at the window. He stood with his back to them, looking out of the window. A teenage girl was with him, sitting at a chair with a bored expression on her face. Her obvious sister stood beside her, with a much more mature figure than the fifteen year old. Both girls had grey hair and blue eyes. The man they followed looked away from the window, his blue eyes practically shining as he looked at the men standing before him. While they wore sharp and fancy clothing his wardrobe consisted of a tacky second hand business suit. His white hair was short but his bangs hung over his eyes, the left bang was a dull grey colour.
"Pure blue world, what a foolish concept, purity is something that can't exist in humans, we're too selfish and vain" He explained, lazily walking across the room.
He picked up a wine bottle, pulling off the cork and smirking as the foam splashed across the floor. Djibril grinded his teeth together getting off his chair and walking towards the man.
"You may have provided us with the technology necessary to create the Purpose Mark 2's but from what I've been told one has gone rogue" Djibril said.
"Another example of impurity, me making a mistake, it could happen to anyone Djibril, it just so happens my mistakes piss you off, you've gotta love coincidence" The white haired man said.
"I invited you here to discuss our future plans for war"
"And I really don't appreciate the invitation, has it occurred to you that instead of playing pool and riding your little horses you could be gaining popularity by playing the valiant heroes helping with evacuation, that's another impurity of yours"
"You are…"
"Correct in my assessments, now the future, we've got all the tech that we'll need, we just need to improve our pilots and our image, I believe Jeremiah Isfrail can assist us in this" The man explained, pouring some of the wine down his throat.
The sisters walked across the room, the elder looked at the men in disdain while the sister poked one of the pool balls. She innocently smiled at the men glaring at her before she skipped to her leader's side.
"Aniki, this place is boring" She said, whining as she fell back onto another chair.
Her elder sister coughed, standing like a professional.
"Don't worry Tania, we'll go do something fun later, right now Aniki needs to settle a little business" The man said, patting the girls head with a smile.
"But Niiii-san!"
"Enough of this Heiwa, do you seriously think you can interfere with our plans?" Djibril asked.
"I'm only trying to improve them, Durandal will no doubt have some way of glorifying his reasons for fighting so we should have some way of winning the people over…other than the "we hate coordinators and they need to die" campaign, a new campaign is also something Jeremiah can have, also I've already gotten word from my contacts that we have a potential hero to use, Simon Hunter, he can be the example that our soldiers fight beside" Heiwa, the white haired man explained as he placed the half empty brother back on the table.
"Brother, the men are ready to start assisting with evacuation efforts" The elder sister said.
"Thank you Nina, tell the colonel that we'll leave to assist as soon as I arrive" Heiwa said.
"From what I've heard you seem to be nothing like Gekido Jaeger" Djibril said.
"The resemblance ends with our blood and hair Djibril" Heiwa smirked, putting his hands in his pockets and walking towards the exit.
"Tell me Heiwa Jaeger, what do you have to gain from our schemes?" Djibril asked.
"A purpose of my own!"
Heiwa slammed the door shut behind him and walked with his siblings down the courtyard steps. They walked towards a black car with scratches on the bonnet. Djibril looked at Heiwa from the window, glaring at the back of his head. Heiwa knew that Djibril was glaring and was amused at the man's pathetic idea of courage.
"Aniki, what game are we going to play?" Tania asked.
"Find as many people as you can and get them to the big transport, then we'll watch the shooting stars okay"
Tania smiled hugging Heiwa's arm as they drove away. The driver unrolled the window and threw his lunch bag at a group of passing aristocrats.
"Stefan, that's not necessary" Nina said.
"Yeah, but damned if it ain't fun" Stefan said, lifting up his cap to reveal blue eyes and strands of grey hair.
"Do you think Simon will be happy so see us?" Tania asked, dropping her innocent expression.
Heiwa didn't answer the question; instead he patted the youngster's head. He looked out of the window and up at the sky. Djibril would use rage to drive the world to war. Heiwa assisted in this goal, but he really hated it when people were angry with others.
Anger was felt across the world and even in space. Branden yelled, flying straight towards the Slaughter Gundam. Bullets and beams flew across the wreckage of Junius Seven. Rey fired two blasts, hitting a GINN in the chest. Luna flipped her Zaku backwards, throwing a beam axe at the Gaia. Stella ran towards the red Zaku, igniting her beam wings. Suddenly, the Monger and the Liberty burst out of the colony, throwing the Zaku and Gaia into the air.
"DAMN YOU!" Simon yelled.
The Monger blocked the Liberty's sword, swinging back with its sabre. Both machines grabbed one another's wrists and dragged one another across the side of the colony. Luna threw a volley of grenades at the Gaia, throwing it backwards. A piece of rubble was split apart and Lucifer flew towards Rey's Zaku. Rey swung around, blocking the Fallen's sabre with his shoulder shield. Stella yelled in fury, firing her cannons at Luna's Zaku.
"Oi Rey, we're being held back by rubble at the moment, you guys are on your own while we make our way back to our home ships" Noah explained.
"Very well, thank you for the help you gave us Commander" Rey said.
He knocked the Fallen back, firing more beam blasts at the machine. Joe swung his sabre into a GINN, slicing it in half.
"These people are so angry" Anna said.
"Watch yourself girl!" Joe said, deflecting a funnel beam with his sword.
"Everyone be careful the funnels aren't to be taken lightly" Zack said.
He yelled, pulling his mobile suit back as the Liberty and Monger dashed past him. They had been inches from slamming into his mobile suit. Simon kicked the Monger in the chest, yelling as he fired Vulcan bullets into the machine's arm. Across the colony, Athrun, Yzak and Dearka were defending the breaker teams. Shinn swung his sabre wildly at the Mercy while Sato stared down Dagger's Black Gundam.
"Dagger Thanos, I thought you of all people would understand what we're trying to achieve" Sato said.
"I would hardly call this an "eye for an eye", I killed a large majority of the people that shattered this colony, I saw it for myself Sato…forget it, I can see that your just a mad dog now…put him down!" Dagger said.
The Black Zaku Kai's suddenly flew downwards, firing at the GINN's. Silver Mask yelled as he kicked the Monger across the head, causing Tyrant to grip his own face.
'No, the neural uplink is too strong, if I don't severe the connection then he'll destroy my brain cells' Tyrant thought.
Silver Mask punched the Monger across the face, shattering its eyes. He sheathed his sword, grabbing the rail rifle and aiming it at the Monger. The Black Zaku Kai's attacked the GINN's while Dagger landed in front of the Jegan.
"Whose side will you take Vincent Rach?" Dagger asked.
"The side of the victims in this conflict" Vincent said.
"And who are the victims, the naturals or the coordinators?"
"Isn't it obvious, it's both!" Vincent growled.
"Then the decisions you will have to make will be the hardest of your life" Dagger said.
Sato swung his sword into a Zaku Kai's shield, yelling as he pushed it back. Lain threw her axe, cutting apart the GINN's gun.
"How dare you wear that flight suit, you're a disgrace to ZAFT!" Lain said.
"GO SATO! STOP THE BREAKER TEAMS!" A GINN pilot yelled, firing at the back of the Zaku Kai's.
They turned around, one by one cutting the GINN apart. Lain then screamed in fury as she rammed her fist through the cockpit, crushing the pilot inside. Nia and Yzak fired their Gatling guns, keeping the funnels on the move. With the other mobile suits the funnels were already beginning to dominate them. Mayura grinded her teeth together as several of the funnels shot her mobile suits arms off.
"MAYURA! ANNA!" Zack yelled.
"They're everywhere" Anna said.
"Concentrate Anna, track their movements based on their momentum just like we practiced"
Kojiro clicked a few buttons inside the cockpit, causing the Kenshin's horsehairs to spread out, revealing the face of the Gundam. Its eyes pulsed, as the hair seemingly grew longer, touching the funnels. Kojiro then ignited the beam blade on his spear and with one swing he slashed four funnels apart. Suddenly a rail rifle blast cut five more apart. Branden turned his head, widening his eyes at the Dusk Aero.
"That rail rifle, it couldn't be!" Branden said.
"PAY ATTENTION KAMAL!" Darcel yelled.
The Slaughter suddenly drew two sabres, slamming them into Branden's shoulders.
"SHIT!" Branden yelled.
He fired his Vulcan's into the Slaughter's head, but Darcel quickly swung around, slashing the Murasama across the head. Branden yelled, swinging his leg into the Slaughter's chest. As Darcel was thrown backwards, he fired a volley of missiles. With every missile that slammed into his machine a part of Branden's visor cracked. He yelled, firing his chest beam at the Slaughter as it recovered from the earlier kick.
"Admirable effort but your STILL PATHETIC!" Darcel yelled.
The Newtype pulse he generated tore the beam from the Murasama to shreds. He then fired his chest Gatling guns, widening his eyes as Rey's Zaku slammed into the side of the Murasama. The White Zaku flew the Murasama out of the debris and towards the Minerva. Marcus pushed his blades against the shields of one of the Purpose units. He swung around, kicking another across the chest. Rey blocked a shot from the sniper unit; the Minerva fired a volley of missiles to distract it as the Zaku walked into the hanger.
"Have a medical team standing by for the Murasama pilot, I'm going back out there" Rey said.
"Negative Rey, the Junius Seven will soon be approaching gravity range of Earth" Meyrin said.
"Instead aid the Zaku Kai pilot" Talia said.
Stella screamed, shooting her cannons at the red Zaku. Zack flew headfirst into the Gaia, ripping off its wing.
"Have them retreat now" Neo said.
Lee nodded his head, commanding the crew to launch the signal flares. Lyna fired several beams into Mayura's shield, turning to the ship as the signal flares were launched.
"Its time to retreat, everyone lets go!" Lucifer said.
Darcel shook his head while Sting and Auel eagerly made their way back to the Girty Lue. Nia shot a GINN apart while Yzak sliced another in half.
"Almost there" Athrun said.
"NO!" Sato yelled.
Santo and the last few of his men frantically fired their beam rifles at the breaker team. Athrun drew a beam axe, blocking Sato's sword with his shield.
"YOU'RE LIVING IN A DAMN DREAM WORLD LAUGHING WITH THE BUTCHERS WHO CAUSED THIS TRAGEDY!" Sato yelled.
Athrun ignored the man's words, slashing back with his axe.
"ZAFT has been weakened by the likes of Lacus Clyne, Patrick Zala knew it all along, the only true path for coordinators was the one he chose for us"
Athrun widened his eyes, images of his fathers madness flashed before his eyes. Genocide for every last natural, standing before him was a man driven insane by his beliefs. That was the legacy that his father left behind.
"DON'T YOU DARE LISTEN TO HIM ZALA!"
Sato swung around, widening his eyes as the Jegan flew towards him. By its side were the Black Gundam and the Impulse. The Mercy Gundam had long since retreated from the area. Dagger and his men split off, while the Zaku Kai's fought the remaining GINN's.
"GO VINCENT RACH! DESTROY THAT MANS TWISTED VISION!" Dagger yelled.
"Athrun, Yzak, Nia, help Shinn and Commander Thanos with the third breaker unit, on his signal activate all three of them at once" Vincent explained.
"Are you…"
"We don't have time to argue Shinn" Nia said.
The Zaku's and the Gundam's grabbed the side of the unoccupied breaker and slammed it into the surface of the colony. A GM on the Sensou breaker team put its tumb up and one of the Guaiz's offered a salute. Two GINN's flew at the Joule breaker team, only to be shot down by Dearka.
"Do it now!" He said.
Lain sliced two more GINN's in half, putting a hand to her chest as Dagger gave the order.
"NOW!"
"NOOOO!" Sato yelled.
The three breakers drilled three holes into the centre of the colony. And three explosions sent cracks and ripples across every inch of the colony. Finally, the colony was split apart with only seconds left until it had crossed the line. Arthur sighed in relief while Talia and Bright narrowed their eyes. Vincent turned two holographic dials on his screen, bringing up the words ARC. Sato growled as he rushed forward. Suddenly a beam blade erupted from the Jegan's shield. It appeared as if it was a solid white blade surrounded by crackling pink energy.
"The original arc was a shield, the Burning Jegan has converted the energy of the Arc reactor into a blade that will cut through even your hatred" Vincent growled.
"You couldn't possible understand what I've lost" Sato said.
"The same old excuse for murder isn't it, "they took away my loved ones", "they live in peace and ignorance" "they are naturals" the path of genocide is never the answer!" Vincent said, flying straight towards the GINN. "I don't know what you've lost and I don't really care, but what I will say is this…you're…not… going…where they…ARE!" Vincent yelled and with each word he sliced off a limb of the GINN before plunging the blade straight through its chest.
Nothing was left of the GINN as the two sides of the colony began to fall. But still there were massive pieces of the colony falling towards Earth. Sensou and ZAFT crews widened their eyes as they saw green ships bigger than Nazca class carriers flying close to the planet. These ships had missile launchers and three two barrelled particle guns. Vincent and Dagger both looked at one another and nodded their heads.
"All Musai class carriers!" Dagger said.
"And all Sensou and ZAFT ships…"
"FIRE ON JUNIUS SEVEN!"
