Phase 07 Unforgivable

"All thrusters at maximum, Strong Hold Launch!"

Strong Hold departed from Okinawa Sea Base, en route to Alaska with a mission to retrieve the prototype mobile suits.

"Those mobile suits are far more superior to what we have on board. No matter what, I'm going to get them back from the enemies' hands. Letting them to fall into the enemies' hands is a terrible mistake. And since I am tasked to protect them, retrieving them will be my responsibility," Xion whispered to himself. "Furthermore, we were facing veterans when we fought."

"Don't worry, you still got the ship and the whole crew," said Fred, consoling Xion. "I will surely back you in every battle you face." Patting on Xion's shoulder.

After hearing his best friend's reassuring words, Xion smiled back in agreement.

"That's more like it, Xion."

Fred was an Earth Alliance pilot who pilots a commander-type Jet Windam. He was also Xion's most trusted friend.

Strong Hold continues her journey to Alaska…

"Get the Testament, Regenerate, Azure, Demeter and Heavy Buster ready for their first fight," Ordered Sinra. "All pilots should get into their respective units, so I have to go now…"

(In the hangar of the Ignorance)

Xue Min was sleeping in his mobile suit, without realising that he was taken onto the enemies' ship until someone from the EXILER opened the cockpit's hatch. He kicked him out and activated the Heavy Buster's system. Next, he blasted through the ship to make an escape.

"Err… Lieutenant Sinra. Apparently there was somebody else sleeping in one of the mobile suit when the pilot was about to enter the cockpit. That person kicked him away and made his way out by blasting a hole through the Ignorance and flew away," reported the co-captain after receiving the news.

"Humph… The Triple Alliance sure has a strange way to recover their new toys," replied Sinra. "Never mind, get the remaining mobile suits to launch."

After saying so, he entered his DINN RAVEN's cockpit and started up his mobile suit.

DINN RAVEN launching through catapult 2, all hands stay back. Catapult launch power: Nominal, all system green. Lieutenant Sinra please get ready for launch.

"I'm ever-ready! Sinra, RAVEN, Launch!!!"

Transforming in flight-mode, Sinra saw his fellow EXILER's mobile suits launching towards Blue Cosmo's last stand, Alaska military base.

Gates C-18 through 31 will now be closed off. All hands please hurry with the final preparations. The evacuation of "F-Class" facilities in all sectors will begin. Last defensive situation issued. The eighth Mobile Squadron has been stationed.

Several mobile suits and mobile armor have been prepared to reward the EXILER forces. They would not let EXILER (or should I say coordinators) take them down. Not long after they were deployed the first wave of attack arrived, missiles came screaming towards them and endless stream of laser punctured the first of defense.

"Let's not give up, show them the brute force of the Blue Cosmo! For a pure and blue world!"

Windams and assault aircrafts swarm at the EXILER's line; quickly it became a dog-fight. Unexpectedly the Blue Cosmo had gain the upper hand; the EXILER isn't making any advance. Luckily, the EXILER still has a card up its sleeve.

"Ignorance, have you launched the prototype mobile suits. We are in need of them!"

"Yes sir. They should be coming to you. But only Testament and Regenerate are only able to launch, the other two seemed to be damaged in the incident."

"That should be enough. The Blue Cosmo has an unusually high-firepower this time, I wonder what it is…"

Sinra activated RAVEN's "Mirage Colloid" and flew into the base then discovered a disturbing truth.

"It's that cursed ship! And it has supporting units! Since when the Blue Cosmo has them?!"

Sinra became furious and confused when he saw an Archangel-class battle ship approaching from the base to back up the line of Alaska's forces.

"It's the DOMINION for God's sake!"

All EXILERS personals was shocked by its appearance and it had the (evil) Freedom Gundam and (evil) Justice Gundam along it.

"What the…?!" Xion choked he saw the Dominion II and her supporting mobile suits. "What should we do?"

"Not to worry, our enemy is too engaged with one another. We have to wait to ensure what's the situation there," Capt. Hugo assured. "We are not in their line of distraction, since they have a strong enemy to attend to."

"Anyway, I'll get prepare to launch, just like I promised."

"I'm going too," said Fred, standing at the back.

Regenerate and Testament manage to break through the line and infiltrated the base. Testament continues to eliminate the Wingdams, to allow more EXILER troops to advance into the base. The pilot was doing this to buy time for the troops and to attract the Freedom's attention. Without doubt, the Freedom dashed to it, starting a beam saber fight with Testament.

Whereas, Regenerate kept disabling the base's ground defense along with Sinra's RAVEN (in mobile suit mode), giving an opening for the UMF/SSO-3 ASH amphibious mobile suits to pass through. After not long, a few GAT-X399/Q Wild Dagger in quadrupled mobile armor intercept them. They were proofed to be a potent threat as they were hard to target and the Wild Daggers concentrated on their hit-and-run attacks taking down the ASH amphibious mobile suits that enter their ground.

Ash fired Regenerate's hyper impulse beam cannon without hesitation, destroying the annoying pests in their way (along with some of the base ground).

"Lieutenant, what should we do now?"

"Look up, looks we are invited to a fight. There's no way of backing away now," said Sinra as he referred to the Justice as it dived to them.

Regenerate leaped into the air and swung its beam swords at it, causing Justice to swerve up in order to dodge the attack under high speed.

"Darn it! I missed!" grunted Ash. "How could naturals produce such accurate maneuvers? What are these pilots? Those Despicable Scoundrels!"

"I don't think this is the right time to retrieve the mobile suits," suggested Fred. "We can't afford to be engulfed in this battle. It wouldn't do us any good if we intervene in this battle. Yet still, we don't have enough forces."

"Tsk. I hate to admit this, but you are right," Xion reluctantly agreed. "It's just not the right time… Let's go back; we'll meet them again soon. Thrust me."

"Hey wait! There's message sent to us, it's from Ming!" shouted Fred.

"He's in the Heavy Buster! And he's heading towards us!"

Heavy Buster flew to them, and then Xue Min gave a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect to find you guys here! Were you where for me?" panted Yoh (who had constantly tried to stay out from the enemy).

"Well… sort of. Let's go back."
