Phase 06 Narrow Path
Repairs were going on the Valkyrie Vixen, supervised by the head-mechanic. Whereas its mobile suits are serviced and re-supplied at the moment.
"Man, the enemy attacked us like a large swarm off bees! Those Exiler troops came out of nowhere, given this situation, launching mobile suits into the battle wasn't a wise choice," said one of the mechanic, who seems to be in a conversation about the previous battle scene.
"Yeah! Then the hangar was in chaos when the ship kept making evasive maneuvers! My heart raced through the battle as the whole ship was shaking. At first I thought this ship's gonna get sunk by enemy, then I didn't expect the ship to come smoking right through the battle. Then a small-scale war started right out the PLANT!" continued her converse partner.
"The battle really saved our Valkyrie Vixen. If the ship were to suffer a few more hits, the whole thing would have fall a part! Thank goodness I'm still standing here. This ship is well-manned ----"
"HEY! You bunch of people get to work at once! No skiving around here! All repairs and final adjustments have to be finished in 3 days straight! Move it!" the Head-mechanic shouted at them, interrupting their conversation.
Those three immediately went back to their stuff.
As the repair continues, Captain Tanakura oversees it from the top. Her plans were held up unless her ship is battle-worthy…
"The EXILER is a big threat to peace now. They should be considered as a terrorist network!" Sayako complaint, slamming her fists on the railing.
Meanwhile, the pilots on the Valkyrie Vixen went under medical check-up. As usual, Xin's and Shoko's results showed outstanding results on their brain functionalities. Because of this, they have been subjected to many flight-test of several mobile suits. They were once praised by Athrun Zala that these two can pilot mobile suit like no one else can.
Simply put into words, "They can bring just about any mobile suit to the limit."
They were given in battle, Shoko was called Lady of Destruction this actually has another meaning; any man who confess her were faced by a cold reply and therefore broke many men's hearts. Whereas Xin is called Scattered Petals because of his habit of dividing firepower regardless of what weapons he has and the attack pattern resembles petals falling from the sky.
"Xin, what were you doing before you joined ZAFT or should I say the Triple Alliance," Shoko asked.
"Umm… I was a Junker back then. Why do you ask all of a sudden?" said Xin, scratching his head.
"It's because I don't remember much about my past," Shoko whispered worriedly. Then she hung her head low.
"I bet you are hungry, let's go to the cafeteria," Xin suggested awkwardly, trying to change the subject to lift Shoko's spirit. "We haven't been eating proper food since we've spent a lot of time on that ship."
"Erm… OK."
As they had some free time to spare, they headed down to the main square where the cafeteria is. There was an unusual large crowd; many people were surrounding the large screens around the area. It seemed to be something important being announced. Xin pulled a reluctant Shoko into the crowd.
"I wonder what's going on. I'm not going to miss it; I need to know what's happening!" Xin's mind raced.
"…EXILERS Troops are seen rendezvous around Alaska military base, the only Blue Cosmo territory left after the Second Bloody Valentine War. All Triple Alliance forces were forewarned not to interfere with their battle…"
This message was sent through over the world, many country leaders began to feel the stress. (Gary, Fabian, Xion are also watching the news.)
"To watch our enemy fight another enemy, this something to call for!" one of the soldiers suddenly quoted that.
Then a huge commotion occurred. Probably, they were interested in seeing their enemies fighting one another.
"Let's go to the cafeteria, Xin… I hate to stay in this crowd," Shoko begged.
Xin, awaken by Shoko's words, did likewise. Walking out of crowd, he saw a tanned boy with jet-black hair (Knasrijam). Then he felt a pulse shot through inside his brain (Newtype Flash) which puzzles him.
"Why can I feel the pain and sorrow in that person's heart?"
(Back down to Earth, Straits of Alaska)
Sinra Regeotia's debut appearance
"Lieutenant Regeotia, we have arrived at the rendezvous point with the other troops to attack the Alaska base."
"Perfect. I need to contact the Ignorance carrier now," after saying, he picked up the phone and press the dial.
"I believe you have stolen the proto-type mobile suits from Okinawa, and assigned pilots for the units as well, commander."
"Yes. As requested, master."
"I look forward to the Mobile Suits performance. However, I believe some Triple Alliance's frigates will try to retrieve them. Keep an eye out throughout the whole fight. I give my best wishes for your survival in this battle."
Sinra pressed the dial and put down the communicator. Then he turned towards his ship's captain.
"Get my DINN RAVEN ready, I'm going into the battle this time. At all cost, we must take that base down! This is the will of Patrick Zala, and those who seek vengeance... We shall not fail them. It is OUR purpose!!!"
