Gundam-Soldiers
Episode XIV
Intro
Jacen just stood there on the moon's surface, his suit was silent. If was going to attack again, he didn't seem in the mood.
"Jacen...." Lara said
Jacen lifted his head up.
"You're right," Jacen said and power up his suit and readies to launch. "Thank you...."
Lara came close and kissed him.
He flew back to the fleet and everybody was glad that it was over.
Premonition of the Final Battle
War hath no fury like a noncombatant...
~C. E. Montague
In the Ra Cailum, Jacen enters the bridge and everyone stood up at attention. Despite what he did, everyone of them still respects him. Jacen sigh in relief.
"What's our status?" Jacen said
"We are station neared a destroyed colony where we continuely make repairs," Jerry said, "That last shot from the Libra damaged five of our ships and destroyed two"
"We have recieved from the Federation high command that they have rallied most of their forces aroun resource satilite MO-2, about 14,000 suits and 45 warships are assembled there." Jerry said, "We have 25 ships here with us, including the Peacemillion."
"Good, tell all our ships except all the Clop class cruisers to leave for MO-2 to join the rest of the fleet," Jacen ordered, which surprised everyone.
"But..." Jerry started to object, "That only leaves us with 4 ships and 72 suits, and that includes ours."
"We don't need a fleet of ships to protect us, they will only get in our way. Also, seperate the rookie pilots and the ACE ones, and reasigned the ACE pilots to the crusiers. I don't want any pilots with low profile to fight with us unless they are the best."
"Understood" Jerry said and walked away. "But aren't all our pilots the best?"
"We've lost too many lives because we overestimated some of our pilots' capabilities, we must not rush too many inexperience lives off to a battle that they won't fair well at."
Jacen walked out and was followed by Lara, who sensed something else troubling him.
"Jacen I sense something's troubling you. What is it. And why have you seperated our pilots? Aren't all of them good pilots?"
Jacen turned and looked at her.
"(sigh)2 hours ago I was briefed by Federation command." He slumped on a wall," They told me.... to be more responsible....."
Flashback
Jacen was in a comference room in the Ra Cailum, where he was handcuffed and on several large screens were the Federation's high commanders and generals.
"I apoligize for my actions. I have failed to control myself, as a result of a foolsih decision. I will of course tend to my resigination and accept the punis-" but before he could finish, the head of the group spoke.
"-Jacen Fanel....we fully understand your actions and why you have done what you done. It was the ZERO system, we have all studied it. We thought that the best pilot of the Federation could handle it, but we underestimated the power of the system. It is us that should be apoligizing. We have threatened your life by making you our giney pig. You are the best pilot and a good leader." Then the general spoked in a more authoritic voice, "You're resigination...is denied. As of now, we are now premoting you to the rank of General....We want you to lead our forces..."
Jacen was surprised, but accepted it.
"Yes sir." He soluted and prepares to leave, but.
"But remembered this Jacen, you must be more careful in picking your battles. You must be more responsible of what you think and do..."
"...yes sir."
End of Flashback
"So now I'm not taking any chances. Only the strong will surivive." Jacen gets off the wall and Lara then hugged him.
"I know you are stronger than that..."
In the Peacemillion, everyone was busy making repairs to the ship, and the pilots were repairing their suits. Duo was checking up on the status of his suit, and the computer read good.
"Ok, all done," Duo said, "We don't know when will be called out again. I'm counting on you old buddy."
Duo then sees Quatre doing something to his suit. Quatre took out a piece of hardware from his suit's core.
"Quatre, what are you doing?"
"I'm dismantling the ZERO system." Quatre sees Heero," I don't need this system anymore. It's ok, I can fight without it."
Heero turned around and cared less of what Quatre thinks.
"Heero, "Duo said," you'd better be careful, too. I know you've got the hang of it, but the ZERO system is still dangerous."
"Yeah," Heero said, and returned to work, and Duo was shocked.
"He's honest for a change."
"Hey, you lot!" Howard stormed in," I said repairs were the mechanics's job! It's also a pilot's job to get some restwhile you can."
"We know!" Duo shouted back," Come on to think of it, I'm starved. Let's get a bite."
"Sounds good to me." and they left for the mess hall.
On the bridge, Noin and Sally watched a screen of the World Nation's troop movements.
"Resource satellite MO-2," Sally said, "They've just finished mining there and at present is just left in orbit. It's a perfect position as a front line base."
"From the number of Mobile Suits..." Noin said, "The World Nation, and the Federation are probably gathering all their forces from Earth here. "
"Seems like it. I'm amazed that they could collect such a huge number."
"I wonder if Trieze is really planning to settle things?"
"I don't know. I only know it's nothing lie before. What are they thinking...?"
On Earth, one of many other Mobile Suit shuttles launched into space with many others. Each carrying several dozen or so suits. In the command center, Trieze watches each shuttle take off.
"Launch No. 6 through 10 is complete." a subordinate said to Trieze." We've almost finished moving our forces now."
"What's the status of MO-2?" Trieze asked
"Most of our shuttles from various sites and some Federation sites have gathered there. The defence line will be complete by the time Libra approaches."
Trieze then turned around and faced his men.
"The time has come to put an end to this long war. Only by eliminating the White Fang, who disrupt peace with their arms...will there be true tranquillity on Earth. My fellow soldiers, fight your best in the name of peace and order."
All his men stood up and soluted to him.
"Yes sir!" they all shouted at once.
Trieze started to walk out.
Meanwhile at the Libra, carriers were launched fromthe ship and probability sent to the Peacemillion. Then, from the large bunched, came a small transport, that was drawfed by the large carriers.
"This is transport 781," a female voice said from the transport," please assist in docking."
It was Hilda, who had disobeyed what Duo said in telling her to not get involved.
"Duo, I know you'll be angry, but I'll fight my own way, too"
On the bridge, Dante observed the repairs on the ship.
"The repairs on the Libra are almost done," he said to Zechs behind him.
"It will be a while before the Earth forces gathering at MO-2 will take action. Tell the staff to take shifts...and let some men get some rest. "
"Will this be the end?"
"I must end it. I will rest, too. You take the helm."
"Sir," Quinze said," What about the Gundams?"
"Leave them be."
"What?!"
"The Peacemillion was damaged in the last attack, I doubt that the Gundams will make a move, now"
"But we can't just leave them be. The only Gundams we need as symbol are the Epyon and the Excalibur. We should eliminate any others that may interfere with our ideal."
"Can you do it?"
"I've already sent troops out, this time we will destroy them all."
"I've left both our you two in charge, do what you want."
Quinze gave off a grin.
In a factory in the ship, many Mobile Dolls were being constructed. Dorothy and Relena walked past the dolls, as they tour the place.
"See Miss Relena, this place is so lively. The tension of war is all around. " Dorothy looked at Relena's face, which gave off a frown, " are you concerned for Milliardo?...Of course you are. This time his oponent is Trieze. "
Elsewhere on the ship, Hilda downloaded blueprints, designs, and maps of the ship, and downloaded them into a disk.
She exist the room and enters the hanger where Relena and Dorothy is. She hides behind the foot of a doll and listens in.
"Why has brother chosen to fight than negotiate, with someone who was his friend?"
"It's because they both wished it. You won't understand their feelings, but that's how it should be." Sorothy turned to faced two different suits. One was blue and one was red." Look at this Relena."
Dorothy points to the two suits, and Relena seems to be familiar with them.
"Mercruis and Vayate. They're the Mobile Suits made by the scientists who created the Gundams. The test pilots were Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton. Those two have been transformed into Mobile Dolls...with the complete Gundam pilot data implanted in them."
"Heero's data?"
"I wonder which will win, the Gundam or the Mobile Doll with the same pilot data?"
"Heero will not lose, " Relena said who is very confident in Heero's abilities.
"Yes, he is strong....I must be going, I have work to do. Please take your time to look around." and with that she floats away.
Relena looked at Mercruious and sees an image of Heero in it.
"Heero....."
Then Hilda walked right behind her.
"Do you know a Gudam pilot?" Hilda asked and Relena turned around in shock.
In the bridge, Quinze monitors the situation of the forces he sent to the Peacemillion,
"How is it?"
"We have the enemy on radar," someone said," Peacemillion attack troop soming into contact."
"This time, destroy them."
"Are you going to attack the Peacemillion?" Quinze turned around to see Dorothy walked in.
"Lady Dorothy."
"It's useless. You can't defeat Gundams with just mere Mobile Dolls."
"You never know until you try. No, I will definitely defeat them. We must do it for the sake of our future."
"Then do as you please." Dorothy takes a seat," I just hope you don't waste our precious resources before the big battle."
"Continued with the plan,"
Elsewhere in Relena's quarters, Hilda hides in there while they talk.
"You know a Gundam pilot, too," Relena said
"I'm not strong like them. I can't fight with them, but there must be something I can do, too."
"No, you are strong.I may be the only one who has no power." Hilda was a little shocked at what Relena said," Anyway, it's dangerous here. You had better go."
"Yes, I'll do that. I have to give them the data I got about Libra," she heads out the door, " Why don't you come with me? You want to meet up with that pilot, don't you?"
"No, I can't do that. I have something I need to do."
"Really? Well I'm off. but wait, what is your name?"
Relena stands up and gave off a proud look.
"Relena Peacecraft..."
"Take care," and with that she flew out.
Later, Hilda found her way into an empty hanger and stole a Taurus. She fired its blaster rifle at the hanger door and escaped. In the bridge, Quinze was shocked at the situation.
"What is this?!"
"The No.5 warehouse hatch has been destroyed. Taurus cruiser, flying out."
"What? a deserter?"
"That Taurus cruiser," Dante observed," is heading straight for the Peacemillion. "
"Pursue it immediately, send the Virgos!"
"No," Dorothy intervened," send Mercrious and Vayate. A gundam or two will definitely show up."
"I've been left in command. I wish you would stay out of this. This is not child's play."
"Of course, this is war."
Mercruious and Vayete was sent out in their carrier, and they followed Hilda in her Taurus. She realized that she is being chased.
"Seems like they've come, but I'm not going to get caught here." and she jets even faster.
In the Peacemillion, everyone gathered to talk about the situatuin.
"Howard said the engine repairs are almost done." Quatre said
"I see, " Heero said
"I must say Howard does a real good job," Duo said while playing chess with Trowa," I'd better decide my next move too..."
Duo moves a piece forward.
"I hope this will help us catch up." Trowa said moving a piece of his own forward, and Duo was stumped.
"This strategy would be..." Then Wufei moved one of Duo's piece at a great spot.
"It's a good move."
"Offence is the greatest defence. If you think only of protecting, you'll get tied down. "
"Thanks for the great advice. Heero what do you think?" but Heero gave out no respond.
Heero was just sitting there. Duo and Quatre looked at each other.
"What's wrong Heero?" Quatre asked, then an alarmed sounded. and they rushed off to their suits.
In the Ra. Cailium, Jacen was in the bridge, and was awared of the situation.
"How many suits?"
"As many as 400, sir!"
"Red Alert, all hands to battle station, swtich controls to the combat bridge. Get my lancemates ready, I'm going out. Noa, take command."
"Right." and Jacen leaves for his suit.
They all launched their suits and let up with the Gundams.
"Enemy Mobile Dolls Virgo group comfirmed, " Heero said," will execute mission."
Then his screen turned on to reveal Howard.
"I've just repaired the engines, so don't get them damage."
"Understood." and they charged.
"Team leaders, take positions, lead your groups out." Jacen ordered and recieved responses from everyone of his lancemates.
The Gundams also break up and attack.
Heero and Jacen both fired buster weapons, and cleared a path for others to get through, namely Wufei, Wongfei, Duo, and Jerry. Wufei and Wongfei stabbed at some MD's with their claws and blades, then Duo and Jerry chopped up others with their beam weapns destroying a lot of suits at once. More Mobile Dolls attack at once, but Quatre and David led them out.
"The right side's being attacked," Quatre said
"We'll go!" Wufei and Wongfei said
"We'll cover your backs!" Trowa said and followed with Daniel and Mike.
"Thanks," Quatre said and they flew into formation.
"I want group 3 to circle around point delta and destract them while group 2 goes in!" David ordered."Group 4, flank on their left side!"
"Sure!" Lara said
"Roger that!" Carl said
"Moving in!" Drake shouted
Each blasted off at the Mobile Dolls and attacked, destroyong many more. Lara stabbed a Virgo with her Javalent and shot another with her blaster, and miss, drawing the attention of the dolls. Carl flew up over the distracted MD's and sliced them up with his pole beam axe.
Meanwhile, on the Neith, it was just announced that MDs where attacking. Despite the fact that they were technically in the custody of the Federation, Kai, Helena, and Stan ran to their Mobile suits to take part in the battle. Stan and his Mobile Suit had been put on the Neith because the Federation decided it would be easier to keep them all under watch in one ship.
As they blasted off the launchers of the Neith, they were all thinking the same thing. Even though they all didn't have much affection for the Feddies, they were possibly the only chance that the Earth had of stopping White Fang, Libra, and Zeon.
Back at the Libra.
"Peacemillion attack team in combat with Gundams and Federation units!"
"Where is Mercurius and Vayete?"
"Just about to get target into range of the target."
"Destroy that Taraus cruiser before it makes contact with the Gundams!"
The two suits activated and attacked Hilda. Vayete fires its beam cannon and destroys the Taurus's boosters. Hilda screams from the recoil of the blast.
"It's...it's just a bit further...I'm not going to be had just yet!" she fires her blaster at Vayete, but Mercruious blocks the shots with its shields.
"Those are!" Hilda was in trouble.
Vayete pops up from behind and destroys her right arm.
Back at the battlefield, Duo chops up several more suits.
"Damn, there's no end to them!" Duo shouted. Then he recieve a signal, as well as everyone else.
"Peacemil..lion...." said a familiar voice to Duo," Peacemillion...can you read me?"
"This voice is..." Duo said
"Please...answer me! Duo!AHHH!"
"Hilda!"
"Duo go to her, we'll take care here!" Quatre said.
"Thanks and sorry, "and Duo sped off.
It was then that Kai, Helena, and Stan arrived.
"More MDs are arriving and…"
Stan finished Helena's statement.
"…and here come Mercruious and Vayete!"
Kai then said,
"Go on and deal with those two, we will stay back here and keep those other drones from getting any farther."
Jacen scans at the area where Hilda was at and sees Mercruious and Vayete.
"Hmmmm, interesting.." Jacen said and sped off to help Duo.
Hilda was getting shot at and her suit was getting seriously damage.
"I won't lose," the fire still continues, inside, her cockpit was getting tore up from the inside out. a piece of metal flew out and cut her arm." I won't be defeated until I give this data to them. I'm not going to be done for!"
Mercruious stops its fire and Vayete aims for her cockpit and charges up for a full power blast, and fires. Then out of nowhere, Duo came and blocks the shot. Jacen follows up.
"Hilda! are you alive?!"
"Just about."
"Stand back. I'll take care of them."
"Duo!" Jacen shouted as he flies in front of Duo," I handle them! You take the young lady back to the Peacemillion!"
"Alright, be careful!"
Jacen connects his swords at the bottoms and dashes forward. Mercruious turns on its beam saber from its shield and clashes with Jacen. Mercruious turns on its shields and stops Jacen's slash.
"What?!"
Vayete pops up and fires its cannon, and Jacen blocks it. Then Mercruious fires a beam from its shield and hits Jacen with it.
"What the Hell! why are mere Mobile Dolls this strong....unless." he looks at the dolls as they charge at him.
He sees Heero face in Mercruious and Trowa's in Vayete.
"Heero...and Trowa's pilot data! They were the test pilots for those suits!" the two suits fired at him and he dodged them," no kidding, it's like taking them both on at the same time! This is going to be fun, finally a challenge!"
He clashes with Mercruious again, but Vayete came from behind him and fires at his back. Jacen acted quickly to close his wing and takes the attack.
"But..." Jacen said," no matter how much you imitate them!"
He opens up his wings, which knocks Mercruious back, and he spins his sword around and flings it behind him and stabbed Vayete's chest.
"You're nothing but Dolls!" he flies toward Mercruious and Vayete blows up," You can't be a Gundam pilot if mere dolls get the better of you!!"
He charges straight toward Mercrious and takes out his rifle and fires at it. Mercruious launches its defensors at Jacen, but he shoots and destroys them all, then connects his swords from side to side, and dashes closer to Mercruious. Mercruious fires its handgun at Jacen, but Jacen deflects one shot after another.
"Now it ends!" Jacen then choped off Mercruious's arm with the gun and lobbed off its head in one final slash to his right, and he floats behind Mercruious as it blows up.
"...You'd better take my data if you're gonna make them next time."
Jacen flies back to the battlefield and sees that everyone has finished up.
At the Libra, Quinze was shocked at what just happened.
"The Peacemillion attack team are completely destroyed...."
"What a shame." Dorothy said," Though I suspected as much from the start...Well, we had a chance to see Gundams fighting for their lives."
Dorothy left laughing.
At the Peacemillion, Hilda was taken away to sickbay.
"We won't waste the data that she brought for us." Quatre said
"Heero, Duo said," Relena is on the Libra"
"Relena."
"Yes, Hilda told me that she met her there."
Heero enters the hanger and looks at the custom Zero.
"Relena....."
At the Libra, Relena felt like she heard him...
"Heero....."
On the Ra Cailum, Jacen have ordered it and it's remaining ships to head toward MO-2, to meet up Trieze and join his forces with Trieze's.
We see a lot of shuttles flying from Earth, then a special shuttle for Trieze.
The Earth, having been targeted by the giant battleship Libra, forced the military to use their superior resources to formulate a counteroffensive. The resource satellite MO-2, being the closest to Earth, became the staging point for some several thousands of Space-type Leos, Taurus, and some thousands of Federation suits, and dozens of Federation warships. Trieze, in an attempt to bolster morale of his troops, took his place with those on the front lines, but there were still voices of doubt about how well they could stand up against the Libra.
Trieze stands in front of an upgraded verison of the Tallgeese. The Tallgeese Mk. 2. Jacen was next to him.
"Trieze...it's too dangerous to use our entire line in the attack." Jacen said
"The White Fang commander, Milliardo, is fighting with all of his forces. Think of this as a courtesy to him, Jacen."
"But..."
"Mark my words, Jacen. A war without such courtesies creates nothing but slaughter...That's why all the wars that have happened on Earth have been so sad."
Back on Earth, at the hospital that Lady Une is at, there were barely any forces left on Earth, except some Federation suits and some ground soldiers. Most of all of the Earth bound forces have all been sent up into space. There are only the military reserves that is still left on Earth, but for some strange reason, Jacen have ordered a detachment of maybe about 30,000 Federation suits and 1,000,000 Federation Mobile Infantry all over Earth. People questioned Jacen's actions, but he said that the extreme number of Federation forces that is sent to Earth is served as a backup unit, if the Space forces are unable to stop the Libra. Though this is a prudent call by some of the Earth leaders, though stationing this many forces on Earth is a bit much......
At the nearby hanger, a technichian watches a suit being loaded up for Space travel.
"Hey, isn't this the suit that was abandoned in Luxemburg?"
"Yeah, it's still a marvelous unit." The two looks up at Wing
"Trieze's already gone up into Space. What's the point of adding boaster thrusters on it?"
"I don't leave anything half done."
"Still...there's no one left on Earth that would be able to pilot this thing."
Back in Space at the Peacemillion, Duo walks into the room where everyone's gather, and sees that Heero is not here either, for he was looking all over for him.
"Where he go off to, that Heero?" Duo asked
"He took off in a damaged Virgo carrier recovered from the White Fangs." Trowas said," It's obvious where he's headed."
"But he left behind Zero! Does he plan on facing Zechs with his bare hands?!"
"I don't know how," Wufei said," but he'll manage it somehow..."
"No, I don't think that's his only purpose." Jacen said as he reads reports on a table
"Hey," Duo said," you can't mean that he went off to rescue that missy?"
"Yes, how can you not tell," Trowa respond
"Then I've been giving him too much credit." Wufei said," Of all the people, I thought he was the most serious of us all."
"No, that's not true," Jacen said," It just means that she's able to spur someone like Heero to action. Wufei... When Heero brings Relena back, at the very least give her some sort of greeting...Females are more easily hurt that you."
"Hey," Duo said,"Quatre...if we're going to go after him, shouldn't we head out now?"
"We can't afford to deplete the defenses of the Peacemillion right now... with the Federation not providing cover for us anymore...Besides, we shouldn't get in the way of those two."
"You guys really think he's going to pull it off? He has failed before!"
There was a dead silence after Duo said that.
Near the Libra, Heero took the captured carrier and flew it to the Libra.
"This is the Peacemillion attack unit 02...Propulsion power defense system hit on the port side, coming for an emergency landing." Heero said to the Libra.
"This is the Libra bridge, Please confirm the number of survivors. Identification numbers..." But before the guy was able to finished his sentence Heero cut the transmition.
"There are no survivors...."
"Hey! Wait! open up communications! Hey!"
Heero crashed the ship on the hanger and the sparks atarted up the fire systems.
"Careful! It's possible that there's a saboteur in there. Status on the fire?!"
"We're working on it! We have our hands full!"
Then Heero popped up from the carrier and the people assumed that he was one of them.
"Hey you! Seal off this block! No one gets in or out!"
"Roger..."
Heero flew off without anyone noticing.
In the bridge Quinze was mad at this.
"You let an infiltrator slip through!? Fools! You let this happened again? I told you to be ready for this!!"
"Calm down. I was prepared for this eventuality....." Zechs said," I suppose I should say that Gundam pilots live up to their name."
"What do you have in mind Milliardo?" Dorothy asked
"As long as they've made their presence known, there's nothing for me to make mine known."
"But there's been no confirmationn of who the infiltrator yet"
"It has to be him....Heero Yuy."
Alarms went off through the ship. In Relena's room, she ignores the problem. Then someone walked into her room.
"I have nothing to say to anyone but my elder brother.....Please, there's no need to worry about me...."
"I can't allow that." Relena turned around to see Heero." With you here, Noin and the others are shaken in their resolve."
" I'd have never thought that you would come for me, Heero,"
"Let's go...."
"Wait! I still..."
"Zechs? Do whatever you need...I have matters to settle with him as well."
Meanwhile, Trieze and Jacen, set off from MO-II with their army one suits and set a course for Libra.
"Coordinates adjusted, Target: Libra." Jacen said to everyone, and they flew ever so closer to the giant ship.
Jacen was flanked by at least maybe 16 strange looking suits that doesn't look like RX's or any of Trieze's suits.
"Alex, Tera, how's your Vangaurd and Dread performing?" Jacen asked 2 suits that appears to be the group leader of the 2 new class of Federation suits.
"Fine sir," the one called Alex said," this Vangaurd type is amazing, it performs like a Gundam."
"So is this one sir" Tera said," but why did you design these types of suits at the last minute?"
"For the next generation to fight with."
"But, I thought that if we win this war, there is no need for weapons like Mobile Suits,"
"Nothing last forever, so I'm just preparing for the worst in the future. And don't call me sir, I am your friend. You each must work together. I want everyone of you to live on...so you can tell the tale, to the next generation."
Flashback
Location: MO-II
Jacen walks along a corridor with Lara.
"Is this all that you can find, just 20 out of the 25 that was reported created."
"Yes....you look upset, this is all I've found."
"I wished I could talk to them all. I barely remember half of them....Are they all soldiers or at least fit to pilot a suit."
"I've found most of them among the ranks of the Federation and O.Z. forces.
He walked into the room, and 20 soldiers, 10 men, 10 women, stood at attention as Jacen walks in front of the group.
"You all know who I am. I am General Jacen Fanel. You all have served under either the Federation or of O.Z. but for how long. When have you've been trained, where were you born, where are your families, casuities of this war, or you just don't know." As Jacen say this to the group, their emotionless faces turned into shocked ones," 4 years has it been? or maybe even more like me, wondering from place to place, seeking a place to call home, asking why are you here, who are you, and why have you been created. I think you've all know the answer. You each were expermimnets, like myself, we are pure strains of humans, we can't get sick, we heal faster than normal people, we are faster, stronger, better than the rest of humanity. You know what I'm talking about. You can't deny who and what you are.....Now do you clearly remember us?"
There was a long silence, and Jacen was worried if that he did the right thing about telling them the truth. then.....
"Yes, " one of the guy said," You were that boy, that was always silent. You never talk to anyone. The look in your eyes back then. It was emotionless. You said to everyone that were were nothing but science projects. "
Then another started to talk.
"You then ran away," a girl said," I remembered, you and 3 others escaped, you, Lara, Max and the little one, who's name was not decided."
Jacen smiled.
"I see you've all remembered. I too remembered each and everyone of your names, your real ones, Alex, Jones, Tera, Triess, Michael, Roc, Aven, Carla, Steve, Draco, Hawk, Lily, Atrus, Sam, Kim, Todd, Jane, Borris, Jan, Dolories, Natasha, Cyrilla, Nickol" Each started to remember everything about their life as perfect soldiers and then," Now You all know what you were created for, the final battle of mankind. Now since we are friends, I've created some special suits to help you fight better."
Jacen pressed a button on the wall and it opens to reveal 20 brand new suits.
"These are Vangaurd and Dread types, they each are unique in their own ways. Concider these as early christmas presents for you all."
"You each are skilled enough to use these, good luck to you all,"
End Flashback
The reason that there is only 16 that is gaurding Jacen, is that he assigned 4 to help David, Draco, Hawk, Lily and Kim. They flew straight toward Libra.
Then, Jacen opens his comm for another one of his speeches.
"To all units....." Jacen started....
"Honorable soldiers of humanity! Listen to my words! I know you all lost...friends...lovers...parents, and children in this war, and I know you mourn your loss, and I feel your sorrow...hBut let me ask you....Since the Libra had first fired on us, have we became scared...fearing for our lives? Is it not possible that some of us have even secretly believe there is nothing wrong with submitting to the White Fang, given what power they have with their Libra and their mindless Mobile Dolls? It is time to reaffirm our convictions! We are, the people of Earth, the people of the colonies, those who are free mind! Why should we even think of giving into these Terrorist, these scums! Never forget what Queen Relena has taught us! But despite that! Despite that we have tried, we will never stop war...but even so...we will not let our homeworld- humanity's place of birth be destroy....We look upon the Earth as the birthplace of all mankind...as a sacred place that needs careful protection-so never forget what we are here for! We are the chosen people! It is our destiny to protect all of mankind! Never forget the sacrfices of our fallen comrades! Never forget what we are! Who we are! We are humans, we are soldiers of peace! Onward soldiers! Onward to victory!"
The soldiers, in fact all the soldiers cry out at Jacen speech. Their moral have boostered alot. They are all ready to fight, to die for their cause. Jacen has truely became a great leader...the greatest of them all.
"Come on guys, hurry up! Aren't you done yet?"
Aboard the Neith, men were running to and fro everywhere in a mad rush. Ever since the Federation had gotten custody of them, they had provided resources and materials to repair and even complete the old Kampfer Custom assault MS stored on the ship.
Despite being older than the other suits, they were still very capable, armed with a few pieces of technology still unknown to the major military powers. One of them were thermite missiles. Before, none of the suits were even in combat condition, therefore only the Sazabi and the Valkyrie were capable of using them up to this point.
Another unique technology that they had were their advanced booster and verniers technology. The burst verniers that all their mobile suits had were what allowed them to keep their incredible speed despite their weight on Earth. In the zero G of space, however, the burst verniers and boosters on the Kampfer Custom assault suits were automatically reduced to a much lower power setting as to keep the pilot from getting completely disoriented. Their power settings were lowered only slightly for the Sazabi and the Valkyrie because the extensive Newtype conditioning of Helena and Kai.
The Kampfer Customs were originally going to be the mainstay units for Operation Black, with the Sazabi, Valkyrie and other suits as the commander units. However, not many were completed, and many were scrapped after the project was canceled. They kept all of those that were stored on the Neith when the escaped with the ship.
"Come on, get movin! We gotta be ready in time…"
One of the Kampfer Customs powered up and walked towards the airlock, preparing to go out and do some final systems tests before joining the rest of the attack force. There were already a few of them outside. The pilots of the suits were getting used to them and were getting reacquainted with the machines.
Technicians, mechanics and pilots alike were in frenzy, mechanics and technicians to get the suits ready and the pilots on familiarizing themselves with the cockpits again.
Stan was also there, supervising the repair and rearmament of the Krieger. The Krieger had a similar frame to the Kampfers but it had many major differences to set it apart. They could easily identify whose MS and what MS it was by its and white color scheme, unmistakable Newtype Funnels, the pads on the shoulders that held the Funnels and a few thermite missiles as well, and the massive cannon on its back right side.
Kai was still sitting in his stateroom, reading a report that he had received recently.
"So the Federation still has that many suits on Earth… And he's also developed new and much more advanced mobile suits…"
He got up and looked out the window at the massive Federation fleet and at their own mobile suits performing maneuvers and combat exercises. Then he looked down at Earth.
He thought,
"The people down there…so helpless…so…powerless. Not even allowed to choose their own fate…"
He got up and spoke softly, with a deep sense of resolve.
"…Unacceptable…"
He then got up and exited the room, heading towards the hangar.
Back in the Libra, Heero and Relena goes into a computer room and Heero inserts the disk that Hilda got from the ship.
"What are you doing?"
"That girl, Hilda....The data she brought us on this ship is of some use..." He scans the ship for the location of Zechs," He's apparently not on the bridge at the moment.."
"Where is my brother?"
"He can be in one of several places,"
Relena leans on the console.
"You're truly a wonder, Heero..."
"I'm nothing compared to you..."
"No, you give me the strength and hope to live...you must do the same for others..."
Heero stops and looks at her.
"Don't make me repeat myself...I nothing compared to you..." he stands up and leaves.
"I-!
"Come, I've found Zechs."
Relena looks at the screen and sees a spot that is blinking.
When they got there, Heero typed in a code to open the door. They walked into a large cylinder room. It was dark.
" So, you have come......" Heero points his gun toward the point of the sound of Zechs's voice. At the otherside of the room, Zechs appears sitting behind a desk.
"Brother!" Relena runs in front of the desk.
"Relena...I thought our conversation was over."
"No. Not yet"
"I will not change my mind," then one half of the room turned on like a screen and it showed a live feed that shows Trieze, and Jacen's forces heading toward the Libra," This is what Trieze is doing. The Libra must take on this huge armada."
"Stop this immediately, it's meaningless!"
"No it's not. Even is this was only a cowardly offensive, there's more than enough meaning in it."
"Brother...."
Then Heero steps in front of Relena.
"I don't know what's going on between you and Trieze, but don't involve others," and Heero points his gun at Zechs.
"This war must involve many others...This problem is related to the hope of all mankind."
"Is this why you became a representive to the colonies?"
"The colonies toyed with the will to fight, and continued the path to arms...Chose me as their leader...If you have a problem with that," Zechs then stood up," then you as a native of the colonies should take command of the White Fang....In other words.... become my comrade."
Far off, but close to the Libra, was Trieze's and Jacen's forces. Trieze's Tallgeese stands on top of a carrier, while Jacen floats with the group in Excalibur in Dragon mode.
At the Libra bridge, Dorothy watches as the group gets closer.
"At long last... Trieze? She said in her head.
"Lady Dorothy..." Qiuinze said," All of Libra's units are ready and the main array has finished charging...."
"Let's wait of Milliardo."
"But at this rate....."
"We should be following Milliardo's wishes. Isn't that so?"
"True, but..."
Dorothy turned around to see the large group of suits, carriers, and warships. They were like fireflies to her.
Back in the room where Zechs, Heero, and Relena is.
"Comrade?" Heero said,".....I see...You would say that."
He aims his gun at Zechs's face.
"Is that your answer?"
"Does the person who finds so much meaning in this war have something to say?"
"Unless one fights, one can't realize the stupidity of war....I must make all of mankind realize this."
"Why have you chosen to fill that role?"
"The former leader of the colonies, Heero Yuy, with the Sanc Kingdom attempted to establish complete peace. One in Space....one on Earth."
"Father-?" Relena said
"I am merely following my father's will. "
"Father's will?!" Relena ran up in front of Zechs." You're saying that this battle...this miserable war will bring about complete peace that the Sanc Kingdom advocates?"
"That is correct."
"No, you are wrong. Peace can't be born out of fighting!"
"And that's fine.....Keep thinking of that...."
Heero looked like he realized something and stood down his gun.
"Understood," and he turned around," That's enough isn't it? Your role is over."
"Heero!" Heero walks out of the room
"Relena...No matter what happens....survive through this....Farewell, sister of mine...." then Zechs's image started to fade away.
"Brother!... A holographic projection?" she thinks for a moment and then, "Heero."
She runs out to follow him.
Zechs then walks into the bridge and sat down.
"Enemy units are in range." Dante said
"The charge on the main array?"
"Complete," Dorothy said," but... they're comprised of Mobile Suits....."
"Of course... I'll sent out an advisory. depending on his response. we might have to fire." This shocked Dorothy," I want to eliminate all sentimentality when dealing with him."
"...yes sir."
Meanwhile, Trieze's forces gets closer and then.
"Mi' Lord, " A soldier said," An advisory has come in, it's from the White Fang commander Milliardo. He said that if we advance any further, he'll fire the Libra's main array."
" Acknowledge." Trieze raised a hand, his Mobile suit's hand anyway," This is Trieze Khushrenada. All troops halt."
And every carrier stopped. So did the Federation forces.
"Stand by, until I Say otherwise," He fired up his thrusters and head straight toward the Libra.
"Your lordship!?" the same soldier said," Where are you going!? Wait! Milord!!!"
His face showed a grim look of determination as he sped at the Libra.
"Special enemy unit approaching."
"Launch Libra's units!"
"Belay that order," Zechs said
"What?"
"That's the Tallgeese...... The pilot is most likely be...."
"This is the World sovereign, Trieze Khushrenada. I challenge the White Fang's leader, Milliardo to a duel."
"A duel?" Quinze said," How very O.Z."
"Is he serious? " a soldier said
"That's his usual method" Dante said
"Trieze..." Dorothy said
Trieze stops, still far off from Libra.
"Will you give me your answer…Milliard? Try not to forget that your answer will include your response regarding this battle."
"The duel......is declined!"
Dorothy turned around in shocked.
"W-Why....Milliardo?" She said in her head.
"I am not an "O.Z." soldier...I am in a position where the code of knights does not matter... I bear the will of the Space revolution!! I can't allow such a frivolous thing as a duel to decide the fate of the colonies"
"I see... That is the correct choice. "
"Trieze... Those who stand in my way will be removed!"
"Milliardo... Behind us is the Earth...We will not retreat. I love the Earth..."
"That's what makes you Trieze. "
"Please wait, Milliardo!" Dorothy said,
"Prepare the main array for firing...Target, enemy Mobile Suits spread to include the resource satellite MO-II."
"Use the main array on the Tallgeese?" Dante said,
"It doesn't matter.. it's what Trieze wants!!"
"Milliardo," Dorothey said," Please reconsider!! Please, anything but don't fire upon Trieze!"
"Quinze, Dante.... restrain Dorothy, she's a traitor."
"Yes sir," Dante and Quinze pulls out guns.
"Milliardo...."
"Forward!" Trieze shouted and his suit flies straight toward the Libra.
" Enemy unit approaching!"
" It ends here Trieze!"
"Main array, charging complete!"
"If I die here," Trieze said," your victory is assured. Fire at me! For the sake of peace on the colonies and on Earth!"
"My enemy is the Earth and you as it's representive!"
"Countdown initated."
Zechs jumped forward and lands next to the chair the controls the firing of the array.
"Move over! I'll finish him myself!"
While he does that Dante moves to the guidance controls and makes some changes.
While Zechs readies to push the red button.
Then Dorothy jumped forward to shoved Zechs out of the way.
"Don't! Don't under no circumstances!"
"Get out of my way! This is the path to peace!" he presses the button, but then Dante finishes what he was doing and presses a button of his own and without warning, the Libra started to shift its position. The beam from it fired an went straight at Trieze.
Trieze accepts it, but out of nowhere, Wing shoves him out of the way.
"01!" Zechs said
"Wing Gundam! But why!"
The beams path was changed and it missed all the targets and knocked a piece of MO-II off. Trieze floats forward to see who the pilot was, and sees.
"Lady Une..."
Back at the Libra, Zechs was mad that Trieze wasn't killed.
"Milliardo."
"That's enough...... Don't say a word.."
"How long until the array can be fired a second time?" Quinze asked
"145 minutes are necessary for the charge."
"Mobile Suits approaching from behind! They're Federation Forces!" We're being targeted from both directions!"
"Shit! Launch all available units at once! You don't mind do you commander?"
Zechs only gave off an angry face. He knew only one person that can change the trajectory.
"Why Dante?"
"A battle is only worth fighting when it's being fought....."
Back outside, Trieze gives out a final order.
"To all units..... destroy the Libra!"
"All Federation forces launch all units! All ships break formations and attack!" Jacen shouted and charged forward with his companions.
All the Earth carriers dropped their suits and they flew out toward the Libra like shooting stars. As did the Federation forces. Each carrier launched 2 at a time, until the radar was filled with their suits and the enemies. The most important battle in the history of mankind, the battle that will decide it's fate, begun.
To Be Continued............................
~New Mobile Suits~
The latest in Mobile Suit technolongy. These next gen suits were base offs of Gundams. After the Federation's research on the Gundams, they began to make mass productive verisons of them. The firsts were the Vanguards and Dreads. Even though Relena planned a world wide demilitirization, Jacen has different plans. As he stated, wars and conflict never end, so they must be prepare for future conflicts. The Gundam pilots might get rid of their suits after the war, but the Federation might not, and Jacen might have a saying in the Gundam pilots' future plan of getting rid of their Gundams.

Episode XIV
Intro
Jacen just stood there on the moon's surface, his suit was silent. If was going to attack again, he didn't seem in the mood.
"Jacen...." Lara said
Jacen lifted his head up.
"You're right," Jacen said and power up his suit and readies to launch. "Thank you...."
Lara came close and kissed him.
He flew back to the fleet and everybody was glad that it was over.
Premonition of the Final Battle
War hath no fury like a noncombatant...
~C. E. Montague
In the Ra Cailum, Jacen enters the bridge and everyone stood up at attention. Despite what he did, everyone of them still respects him. Jacen sigh in relief.
"What's our status?" Jacen said
"We are station neared a destroyed colony where we continuely make repairs," Jerry said, "That last shot from the Libra damaged five of our ships and destroyed two"
"We have recieved from the Federation high command that they have rallied most of their forces aroun resource satilite MO-2, about 14,000 suits and 45 warships are assembled there." Jerry said, "We have 25 ships here with us, including the Peacemillion."
"Good, tell all our ships except all the Clop class cruisers to leave for MO-2 to join the rest of the fleet," Jacen ordered, which surprised everyone.
"But..." Jerry started to object, "That only leaves us with 4 ships and 72 suits, and that includes ours."
"We don't need a fleet of ships to protect us, they will only get in our way. Also, seperate the rookie pilots and the ACE ones, and reasigned the ACE pilots to the crusiers. I don't want any pilots with low profile to fight with us unless they are the best."
"Understood" Jerry said and walked away. "But aren't all our pilots the best?"
"We've lost too many lives because we overestimated some of our pilots' capabilities, we must not rush too many inexperience lives off to a battle that they won't fair well at."
Jacen walked out and was followed by Lara, who sensed something else troubling him.
"Jacen I sense something's troubling you. What is it. And why have you seperated our pilots? Aren't all of them good pilots?"
Jacen turned and looked at her.
"(sigh)2 hours ago I was briefed by Federation command." He slumped on a wall," They told me.... to be more responsible....."
Flashback
Jacen was in a comference room in the Ra Cailum, where he was handcuffed and on several large screens were the Federation's high commanders and generals.
"I apoligize for my actions. I have failed to control myself, as a result of a foolsih decision. I will of course tend to my resigination and accept the punis-" but before he could finish, the head of the group spoke.
"-Jacen Fanel....we fully understand your actions and why you have done what you done. It was the ZERO system, we have all studied it. We thought that the best pilot of the Federation could handle it, but we underestimated the power of the system. It is us that should be apoligizing. We have threatened your life by making you our giney pig. You are the best pilot and a good leader." Then the general spoked in a more authoritic voice, "You're resigination...is denied. As of now, we are now premoting you to the rank of General....We want you to lead our forces..."
Jacen was surprised, but accepted it.
"Yes sir." He soluted and prepares to leave, but.
"But remembered this Jacen, you must be more careful in picking your battles. You must be more responsible of what you think and do..."
"...yes sir."
End of Flashback
"So now I'm not taking any chances. Only the strong will surivive." Jacen gets off the wall and Lara then hugged him.
"I know you are stronger than that..."
In the Peacemillion, everyone was busy making repairs to the ship, and the pilots were repairing their suits. Duo was checking up on the status of his suit, and the computer read good.
"Ok, all done," Duo said, "We don't know when will be called out again. I'm counting on you old buddy."
Duo then sees Quatre doing something to his suit. Quatre took out a piece of hardware from his suit's core.
"Quatre, what are you doing?"
"I'm dismantling the ZERO system." Quatre sees Heero," I don't need this system anymore. It's ok, I can fight without it."
Heero turned around and cared less of what Quatre thinks.
"Heero, "Duo said," you'd better be careful, too. I know you've got the hang of it, but the ZERO system is still dangerous."
"Yeah," Heero said, and returned to work, and Duo was shocked.
"He's honest for a change."
"Hey, you lot!" Howard stormed in," I said repairs were the mechanics's job! It's also a pilot's job to get some restwhile you can."
"We know!" Duo shouted back," Come on to think of it, I'm starved. Let's get a bite."
"Sounds good to me." and they left for the mess hall.
On the bridge, Noin and Sally watched a screen of the World Nation's troop movements.
"Resource satellite MO-2," Sally said, "They've just finished mining there and at present is just left in orbit. It's a perfect position as a front line base."
"From the number of Mobile Suits..." Noin said, "The World Nation, and the Federation are probably gathering all their forces from Earth here. "
"Seems like it. I'm amazed that they could collect such a huge number."
"I wonder if Trieze is really planning to settle things?"
"I don't know. I only know it's nothing lie before. What are they thinking...?"
On Earth, one of many other Mobile Suit shuttles launched into space with many others. Each carrying several dozen or so suits. In the command center, Trieze watches each shuttle take off.
"Launch No. 6 through 10 is complete." a subordinate said to Trieze." We've almost finished moving our forces now."
"What's the status of MO-2?" Trieze asked
"Most of our shuttles from various sites and some Federation sites have gathered there. The defence line will be complete by the time Libra approaches."
Trieze then turned around and faced his men.
"The time has come to put an end to this long war. Only by eliminating the White Fang, who disrupt peace with their arms...will there be true tranquillity on Earth. My fellow soldiers, fight your best in the name of peace and order."
All his men stood up and soluted to him.
"Yes sir!" they all shouted at once.
Trieze started to walk out.
Meanwhile at the Libra, carriers were launched fromthe ship and probability sent to the Peacemillion. Then, from the large bunched, came a small transport, that was drawfed by the large carriers.
"This is transport 781," a female voice said from the transport," please assist in docking."
It was Hilda, who had disobeyed what Duo said in telling her to not get involved.
"Duo, I know you'll be angry, but I'll fight my own way, too"
On the bridge, Dante observed the repairs on the ship.
"The repairs on the Libra are almost done," he said to Zechs behind him.
"It will be a while before the Earth forces gathering at MO-2 will take action. Tell the staff to take shifts...and let some men get some rest. "
"Will this be the end?"
"I must end it. I will rest, too. You take the helm."
"Sir," Quinze said," What about the Gundams?"
"Leave them be."
"What?!"
"The Peacemillion was damaged in the last attack, I doubt that the Gundams will make a move, now"
"But we can't just leave them be. The only Gundams we need as symbol are the Epyon and the Excalibur. We should eliminate any others that may interfere with our ideal."
"Can you do it?"
"I've already sent troops out, this time we will destroy them all."
"I've left both our you two in charge, do what you want."
Quinze gave off a grin.
In a factory in the ship, many Mobile Dolls were being constructed. Dorothy and Relena walked past the dolls, as they tour the place.
"See Miss Relena, this place is so lively. The tension of war is all around. " Dorothy looked at Relena's face, which gave off a frown, " are you concerned for Milliardo?...Of course you are. This time his oponent is Trieze. "
Elsewhere on the ship, Hilda downloaded blueprints, designs, and maps of the ship, and downloaded them into a disk.
She exist the room and enters the hanger where Relena and Dorothy is. She hides behind the foot of a doll and listens in.
"Why has brother chosen to fight than negotiate, with someone who was his friend?"
"It's because they both wished it. You won't understand their feelings, but that's how it should be." Sorothy turned to faced two different suits. One was blue and one was red." Look at this Relena."
Dorothy points to the two suits, and Relena seems to be familiar with them.
"Mercruis and Vayate. They're the Mobile Suits made by the scientists who created the Gundams. The test pilots were Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton. Those two have been transformed into Mobile Dolls...with the complete Gundam pilot data implanted in them."
"Heero's data?"
"I wonder which will win, the Gundam or the Mobile Doll with the same pilot data?"
"Heero will not lose, " Relena said who is very confident in Heero's abilities.
"Yes, he is strong....I must be going, I have work to do. Please take your time to look around." and with that she floats away.
Relena looked at Mercruious and sees an image of Heero in it.
"Heero....."
Then Hilda walked right behind her.
"Do you know a Gudam pilot?" Hilda asked and Relena turned around in shock.
In the bridge, Quinze monitors the situation of the forces he sent to the Peacemillion,
"How is it?"
"We have the enemy on radar," someone said," Peacemillion attack troop soming into contact."
"This time, destroy them."
"Are you going to attack the Peacemillion?" Quinze turned around to see Dorothy walked in.
"Lady Dorothy."
"It's useless. You can't defeat Gundams with just mere Mobile Dolls."
"You never know until you try. No, I will definitely defeat them. We must do it for the sake of our future."
"Then do as you please." Dorothy takes a seat," I just hope you don't waste our precious resources before the big battle."
"Continued with the plan,"
Elsewhere in Relena's quarters, Hilda hides in there while they talk.
"You know a Gundam pilot, too," Relena said
"I'm not strong like them. I can't fight with them, but there must be something I can do, too."
"No, you are strong.I may be the only one who has no power." Hilda was a little shocked at what Relena said," Anyway, it's dangerous here. You had better go."
"Yes, I'll do that. I have to give them the data I got about Libra," she heads out the door, " Why don't you come with me? You want to meet up with that pilot, don't you?"
"No, I can't do that. I have something I need to do."
"Really? Well I'm off. but wait, what is your name?"
Relena stands up and gave off a proud look.
"Relena Peacecraft..."
"Take care," and with that she flew out.
Later, Hilda found her way into an empty hanger and stole a Taurus. She fired its blaster rifle at the hanger door and escaped. In the bridge, Quinze was shocked at the situation.
"What is this?!"
"The No.5 warehouse hatch has been destroyed. Taurus cruiser, flying out."
"What? a deserter?"
"That Taurus cruiser," Dante observed," is heading straight for the Peacemillion. "
"Pursue it immediately, send the Virgos!"
"No," Dorothy intervened," send Mercrious and Vayate. A gundam or two will definitely show up."
"I've been left in command. I wish you would stay out of this. This is not child's play."
"Of course, this is war."
Mercruious and Vayete was sent out in their carrier, and they followed Hilda in her Taurus. She realized that she is being chased.
"Seems like they've come, but I'm not going to get caught here." and she jets even faster.
In the Peacemillion, everyone gathered to talk about the situatuin.
"Howard said the engine repairs are almost done." Quatre said
"I see, " Heero said
"I must say Howard does a real good job," Duo said while playing chess with Trowa," I'd better decide my next move too..."
Duo moves a piece forward.
"I hope this will help us catch up." Trowa said moving a piece of his own forward, and Duo was stumped.
"This strategy would be..." Then Wufei moved one of Duo's piece at a great spot.
"It's a good move."
"Offence is the greatest defence. If you think only of protecting, you'll get tied down. "
"Thanks for the great advice. Heero what do you think?" but Heero gave out no respond.
Heero was just sitting there. Duo and Quatre looked at each other.
"What's wrong Heero?" Quatre asked, then an alarmed sounded. and they rushed off to their suits.
In the Ra. Cailium, Jacen was in the bridge, and was awared of the situation.
"How many suits?"
"As many as 400, sir!"
"Red Alert, all hands to battle station, swtich controls to the combat bridge. Get my lancemates ready, I'm going out. Noa, take command."
"Right." and Jacen leaves for his suit.
They all launched their suits and let up with the Gundams.
"Enemy Mobile Dolls Virgo group comfirmed, " Heero said," will execute mission."
Then his screen turned on to reveal Howard.
"I've just repaired the engines, so don't get them damage."
"Understood." and they charged.
"Team leaders, take positions, lead your groups out." Jacen ordered and recieved responses from everyone of his lancemates.
The Gundams also break up and attack.
Heero and Jacen both fired buster weapons, and cleared a path for others to get through, namely Wufei, Wongfei, Duo, and Jerry. Wufei and Wongfei stabbed at some MD's with their claws and blades, then Duo and Jerry chopped up others with their beam weapns destroying a lot of suits at once. More Mobile Dolls attack at once, but Quatre and David led them out.
"The right side's being attacked," Quatre said
"We'll go!" Wufei and Wongfei said
"We'll cover your backs!" Trowa said and followed with Daniel and Mike.
"Thanks," Quatre said and they flew into formation.
"I want group 3 to circle around point delta and destract them while group 2 goes in!" David ordered."Group 4, flank on their left side!"
"Sure!" Lara said
"Roger that!" Carl said
"Moving in!" Drake shouted
Each blasted off at the Mobile Dolls and attacked, destroyong many more. Lara stabbed a Virgo with her Javalent and shot another with her blaster, and miss, drawing the attention of the dolls. Carl flew up over the distracted MD's and sliced them up with his pole beam axe.
Meanwhile, on the Neith, it was just announced that MDs where attacking. Despite the fact that they were technically in the custody of the Federation, Kai, Helena, and Stan ran to their Mobile suits to take part in the battle. Stan and his Mobile Suit had been put on the Neith because the Federation decided it would be easier to keep them all under watch in one ship.
As they blasted off the launchers of the Neith, they were all thinking the same thing. Even though they all didn't have much affection for the Feddies, they were possibly the only chance that the Earth had of stopping White Fang, Libra, and Zeon.
Back at the Libra.
"Peacemillion attack team in combat with Gundams and Federation units!"
"Where is Mercurius and Vayete?"
"Just about to get target into range of the target."
"Destroy that Taraus cruiser before it makes contact with the Gundams!"
The two suits activated and attacked Hilda. Vayete fires its beam cannon and destroys the Taurus's boosters. Hilda screams from the recoil of the blast.
"It's...it's just a bit further...I'm not going to be had just yet!" she fires her blaster at Vayete, but Mercruious blocks the shots with its shields.
"Those are!" Hilda was in trouble.
Vayete pops up from behind and destroys her right arm.
Back at the battlefield, Duo chops up several more suits.
"Damn, there's no end to them!" Duo shouted. Then he recieve a signal, as well as everyone else.
"Peacemil..lion...." said a familiar voice to Duo," Peacemillion...can you read me?"
"This voice is..." Duo said
"Please...answer me! Duo!AHHH!"
"Hilda!"
"Duo go to her, we'll take care here!" Quatre said.
"Thanks and sorry, "and Duo sped off.
It was then that Kai, Helena, and Stan arrived.
"More MDs are arriving and…"
Stan finished Helena's statement.
"…and here come Mercruious and Vayete!"
Kai then said,
"Go on and deal with those two, we will stay back here and keep those other drones from getting any farther."
Jacen scans at the area where Hilda was at and sees Mercruious and Vayete.
"Hmmmm, interesting.." Jacen said and sped off to help Duo.
Hilda was getting shot at and her suit was getting seriously damage.
"I won't lose," the fire still continues, inside, her cockpit was getting tore up from the inside out. a piece of metal flew out and cut her arm." I won't be defeated until I give this data to them. I'm not going to be done for!"
Mercruious stops its fire and Vayete aims for her cockpit and charges up for a full power blast, and fires. Then out of nowhere, Duo came and blocks the shot. Jacen follows up.
"Hilda! are you alive?!"
"Just about."
"Stand back. I'll take care of them."
"Duo!" Jacen shouted as he flies in front of Duo," I handle them! You take the young lady back to the Peacemillion!"
"Alright, be careful!"
Jacen connects his swords at the bottoms and dashes forward. Mercruious turns on its beam saber from its shield and clashes with Jacen. Mercruious turns on its shields and stops Jacen's slash.
"What?!"
Vayete pops up and fires its cannon, and Jacen blocks it. Then Mercruious fires a beam from its shield and hits Jacen with it.
"What the Hell! why are mere Mobile Dolls this strong....unless." he looks at the dolls as they charge at him.
He sees Heero face in Mercruious and Trowa's in Vayete.
"Heero...and Trowa's pilot data! They were the test pilots for those suits!" the two suits fired at him and he dodged them," no kidding, it's like taking them both on at the same time! This is going to be fun, finally a challenge!"
He clashes with Mercruious again, but Vayete came from behind him and fires at his back. Jacen acted quickly to close his wing and takes the attack.
"But..." Jacen said," no matter how much you imitate them!"
He opens up his wings, which knocks Mercruious back, and he spins his sword around and flings it behind him and stabbed Vayete's chest.
"You're nothing but Dolls!" he flies toward Mercruious and Vayete blows up," You can't be a Gundam pilot if mere dolls get the better of you!!"
He charges straight toward Mercrious and takes out his rifle and fires at it. Mercruious launches its defensors at Jacen, but he shoots and destroys them all, then connects his swords from side to side, and dashes closer to Mercruious. Mercruious fires its handgun at Jacen, but Jacen deflects one shot after another.
"Now it ends!" Jacen then choped off Mercruious's arm with the gun and lobbed off its head in one final slash to his right, and he floats behind Mercruious as it blows up.
"...You'd better take my data if you're gonna make them next time."
Jacen flies back to the battlefield and sees that everyone has finished up.
At the Libra, Quinze was shocked at what just happened.
"The Peacemillion attack team are completely destroyed...."
"What a shame." Dorothy said," Though I suspected as much from the start...Well, we had a chance to see Gundams fighting for their lives."
Dorothy left laughing.
At the Peacemillion, Hilda was taken away to sickbay.
"We won't waste the data that she brought for us." Quatre said
"Heero, Duo said," Relena is on the Libra"
"Relena."
"Yes, Hilda told me that she met her there."
Heero enters the hanger and looks at the custom Zero.
"Relena....."
At the Libra, Relena felt like she heard him...
"Heero....."
On the Ra Cailum, Jacen have ordered it and it's remaining ships to head toward MO-2, to meet up Trieze and join his forces with Trieze's.
We see a lot of shuttles flying from Earth, then a special shuttle for Trieze.
The Earth, having been targeted by the giant battleship Libra, forced the military to use their superior resources to formulate a counteroffensive. The resource satellite MO-2, being the closest to Earth, became the staging point for some several thousands of Space-type Leos, Taurus, and some thousands of Federation suits, and dozens of Federation warships. Trieze, in an attempt to bolster morale of his troops, took his place with those on the front lines, but there were still voices of doubt about how well they could stand up against the Libra.
Trieze stands in front of an upgraded verison of the Tallgeese. The Tallgeese Mk. 2. Jacen was next to him.
"Trieze...it's too dangerous to use our entire line in the attack." Jacen said
"The White Fang commander, Milliardo, is fighting with all of his forces. Think of this as a courtesy to him, Jacen."
"But..."
"Mark my words, Jacen. A war without such courtesies creates nothing but slaughter...That's why all the wars that have happened on Earth have been so sad."
Back on Earth, at the hospital that Lady Une is at, there were barely any forces left on Earth, except some Federation suits and some ground soldiers. Most of all of the Earth bound forces have all been sent up into space. There are only the military reserves that is still left on Earth, but for some strange reason, Jacen have ordered a detachment of maybe about 30,000 Federation suits and 1,000,000 Federation Mobile Infantry all over Earth. People questioned Jacen's actions, but he said that the extreme number of Federation forces that is sent to Earth is served as a backup unit, if the Space forces are unable to stop the Libra. Though this is a prudent call by some of the Earth leaders, though stationing this many forces on Earth is a bit much......
At the nearby hanger, a technichian watches a suit being loaded up for Space travel.
"Hey, isn't this the suit that was abandoned in Luxemburg?"
"Yeah, it's still a marvelous unit." The two looks up at Wing
"Trieze's already gone up into Space. What's the point of adding boaster thrusters on it?"
"I don't leave anything half done."
"Still...there's no one left on Earth that would be able to pilot this thing."
Back in Space at the Peacemillion, Duo walks into the room where everyone's gather, and sees that Heero is not here either, for he was looking all over for him.
"Where he go off to, that Heero?" Duo asked
"He took off in a damaged Virgo carrier recovered from the White Fangs." Trowas said," It's obvious where he's headed."
"But he left behind Zero! Does he plan on facing Zechs with his bare hands?!"
"I don't know how," Wufei said," but he'll manage it somehow..."
"No, I don't think that's his only purpose." Jacen said as he reads reports on a table
"Hey," Duo said," you can't mean that he went off to rescue that missy?"
"Yes, how can you not tell," Trowa respond
"Then I've been giving him too much credit." Wufei said," Of all the people, I thought he was the most serious of us all."
"No, that's not true," Jacen said," It just means that she's able to spur someone like Heero to action. Wufei... When Heero brings Relena back, at the very least give her some sort of greeting...Females are more easily hurt that you."
"Hey," Duo said,"Quatre...if we're going to go after him, shouldn't we head out now?"
"We can't afford to deplete the defenses of the Peacemillion right now... with the Federation not providing cover for us anymore...Besides, we shouldn't get in the way of those two."
"You guys really think he's going to pull it off? He has failed before!"
There was a dead silence after Duo said that.
Near the Libra, Heero took the captured carrier and flew it to the Libra.
"This is the Peacemillion attack unit 02...Propulsion power defense system hit on the port side, coming for an emergency landing." Heero said to the Libra.
"This is the Libra bridge, Please confirm the number of survivors. Identification numbers..." But before the guy was able to finished his sentence Heero cut the transmition.
"There are no survivors...."
"Hey! Wait! open up communications! Hey!"
Heero crashed the ship on the hanger and the sparks atarted up the fire systems.
"Careful! It's possible that there's a saboteur in there. Status on the fire?!"
"We're working on it! We have our hands full!"
Then Heero popped up from the carrier and the people assumed that he was one of them.
"Hey you! Seal off this block! No one gets in or out!"
"Roger..."
Heero flew off without anyone noticing.
In the bridge Quinze was mad at this.
"You let an infiltrator slip through!? Fools! You let this happened again? I told you to be ready for this!!"
"Calm down. I was prepared for this eventuality....." Zechs said," I suppose I should say that Gundam pilots live up to their name."
"What do you have in mind Milliardo?" Dorothy asked
"As long as they've made their presence known, there's nothing for me to make mine known."
"But there's been no confirmationn of who the infiltrator yet"
"It has to be him....Heero Yuy."
Alarms went off through the ship. In Relena's room, she ignores the problem. Then someone walked into her room.
"I have nothing to say to anyone but my elder brother.....Please, there's no need to worry about me...."
"I can't allow that." Relena turned around to see Heero." With you here, Noin and the others are shaken in their resolve."
" I'd have never thought that you would come for me, Heero,"
"Let's go...."
"Wait! I still..."
"Zechs? Do whatever you need...I have matters to settle with him as well."
Meanwhile, Trieze and Jacen, set off from MO-II with their army one suits and set a course for Libra.
"Coordinates adjusted, Target: Libra." Jacen said to everyone, and they flew ever so closer to the giant ship.
Jacen was flanked by at least maybe 16 strange looking suits that doesn't look like RX's or any of Trieze's suits.
"Alex, Tera, how's your Vangaurd and Dread performing?" Jacen asked 2 suits that appears to be the group leader of the 2 new class of Federation suits.
"Fine sir," the one called Alex said," this Vangaurd type is amazing, it performs like a Gundam."
"So is this one sir" Tera said," but why did you design these types of suits at the last minute?"
"For the next generation to fight with."
"But, I thought that if we win this war, there is no need for weapons like Mobile Suits,"
"Nothing last forever, so I'm just preparing for the worst in the future. And don't call me sir, I am your friend. You each must work together. I want everyone of you to live on...so you can tell the tale, to the next generation."
Flashback
Location: MO-II
Jacen walks along a corridor with Lara.
"Is this all that you can find, just 20 out of the 25 that was reported created."
"Yes....you look upset, this is all I've found."
"I wished I could talk to them all. I barely remember half of them....Are they all soldiers or at least fit to pilot a suit."
"I've found most of them among the ranks of the Federation and O.Z. forces.
He walked into the room, and 20 soldiers, 10 men, 10 women, stood at attention as Jacen walks in front of the group.
"You all know who I am. I am General Jacen Fanel. You all have served under either the Federation or of O.Z. but for how long. When have you've been trained, where were you born, where are your families, casuities of this war, or you just don't know." As Jacen say this to the group, their emotionless faces turned into shocked ones," 4 years has it been? or maybe even more like me, wondering from place to place, seeking a place to call home, asking why are you here, who are you, and why have you been created. I think you've all know the answer. You each were expermimnets, like myself, we are pure strains of humans, we can't get sick, we heal faster than normal people, we are faster, stronger, better than the rest of humanity. You know what I'm talking about. You can't deny who and what you are.....Now do you clearly remember us?"
There was a long silence, and Jacen was worried if that he did the right thing about telling them the truth. then.....
"Yes, " one of the guy said," You were that boy, that was always silent. You never talk to anyone. The look in your eyes back then. It was emotionless. You said to everyone that were were nothing but science projects. "
Then another started to talk.
"You then ran away," a girl said," I remembered, you and 3 others escaped, you, Lara, Max and the little one, who's name was not decided."
Jacen smiled.
"I see you've all remembered. I too remembered each and everyone of your names, your real ones, Alex, Jones, Tera, Triess, Michael, Roc, Aven, Carla, Steve, Draco, Hawk, Lily, Atrus, Sam, Kim, Todd, Jane, Borris, Jan, Dolories, Natasha, Cyrilla, Nickol" Each started to remember everything about their life as perfect soldiers and then," Now You all know what you were created for, the final battle of mankind. Now since we are friends, I've created some special suits to help you fight better."
Jacen pressed a button on the wall and it opens to reveal 20 brand new suits.
"These are Vangaurd and Dread types, they each are unique in their own ways. Concider these as early christmas presents for you all."
"You each are skilled enough to use these, good luck to you all,"
End Flashback
The reason that there is only 16 that is gaurding Jacen, is that he assigned 4 to help David, Draco, Hawk, Lily and Kim. They flew straight toward Libra.
Then, Jacen opens his comm for another one of his speeches.
"To all units....." Jacen started....
"Honorable soldiers of humanity! Listen to my words! I know you all lost...friends...lovers...parents, and children in this war, and I know you mourn your loss, and I feel your sorrow...hBut let me ask you....Since the Libra had first fired on us, have we became scared...fearing for our lives? Is it not possible that some of us have even secretly believe there is nothing wrong with submitting to the White Fang, given what power they have with their Libra and their mindless Mobile Dolls? It is time to reaffirm our convictions! We are, the people of Earth, the people of the colonies, those who are free mind! Why should we even think of giving into these Terrorist, these scums! Never forget what Queen Relena has taught us! But despite that! Despite that we have tried, we will never stop war...but even so...we will not let our homeworld- humanity's place of birth be destroy....We look upon the Earth as the birthplace of all mankind...as a sacred place that needs careful protection-so never forget what we are here for! We are the chosen people! It is our destiny to protect all of mankind! Never forget the sacrfices of our fallen comrades! Never forget what we are! Who we are! We are humans, we are soldiers of peace! Onward soldiers! Onward to victory!"
The soldiers, in fact all the soldiers cry out at Jacen speech. Their moral have boostered alot. They are all ready to fight, to die for their cause. Jacen has truely became a great leader...the greatest of them all.
"Come on guys, hurry up! Aren't you done yet?"
Aboard the Neith, men were running to and fro everywhere in a mad rush. Ever since the Federation had gotten custody of them, they had provided resources and materials to repair and even complete the old Kampfer Custom assault MS stored on the ship.
Despite being older than the other suits, they were still very capable, armed with a few pieces of technology still unknown to the major military powers. One of them were thermite missiles. Before, none of the suits were even in combat condition, therefore only the Sazabi and the Valkyrie were capable of using them up to this point.
Another unique technology that they had were their advanced booster and verniers technology. The burst verniers that all their mobile suits had were what allowed them to keep their incredible speed despite their weight on Earth. In the zero G of space, however, the burst verniers and boosters on the Kampfer Custom assault suits were automatically reduced to a much lower power setting as to keep the pilot from getting completely disoriented. Their power settings were lowered only slightly for the Sazabi and the Valkyrie because the extensive Newtype conditioning of Helena and Kai.
The Kampfer Customs were originally going to be the mainstay units for Operation Black, with the Sazabi, Valkyrie and other suits as the commander units. However, not many were completed, and many were scrapped after the project was canceled. They kept all of those that were stored on the Neith when the escaped with the ship.
"Come on, get movin! We gotta be ready in time…"
One of the Kampfer Customs powered up and walked towards the airlock, preparing to go out and do some final systems tests before joining the rest of the attack force. There were already a few of them outside. The pilots of the suits were getting used to them and were getting reacquainted with the machines.
Technicians, mechanics and pilots alike were in frenzy, mechanics and technicians to get the suits ready and the pilots on familiarizing themselves with the cockpits again.
Stan was also there, supervising the repair and rearmament of the Krieger. The Krieger had a similar frame to the Kampfers but it had many major differences to set it apart. They could easily identify whose MS and what MS it was by its and white color scheme, unmistakable Newtype Funnels, the pads on the shoulders that held the Funnels and a few thermite missiles as well, and the massive cannon on its back right side.
Kai was still sitting in his stateroom, reading a report that he had received recently.
"So the Federation still has that many suits on Earth… And he's also developed new and much more advanced mobile suits…"
He got up and looked out the window at the massive Federation fleet and at their own mobile suits performing maneuvers and combat exercises. Then he looked down at Earth.
He thought,
"The people down there…so helpless…so…powerless. Not even allowed to choose their own fate…"
He got up and spoke softly, with a deep sense of resolve.
"…Unacceptable…"
He then got up and exited the room, heading towards the hangar.
Back in the Libra, Heero and Relena goes into a computer room and Heero inserts the disk that Hilda got from the ship.
"What are you doing?"
"That girl, Hilda....The data she brought us on this ship is of some use..." He scans the ship for the location of Zechs," He's apparently not on the bridge at the moment.."
"Where is my brother?"
"He can be in one of several places,"
Relena leans on the console.
"You're truly a wonder, Heero..."
"I'm nothing compared to you..."
"No, you give me the strength and hope to live...you must do the same for others..."
Heero stops and looks at her.
"Don't make me repeat myself...I nothing compared to you..." he stands up and leaves.
"I-!
"Come, I've found Zechs."
Relena looks at the screen and sees a spot that is blinking.
When they got there, Heero typed in a code to open the door. They walked into a large cylinder room. It was dark.
" So, you have come......" Heero points his gun toward the point of the sound of Zechs's voice. At the otherside of the room, Zechs appears sitting behind a desk.
"Brother!" Relena runs in front of the desk.
"Relena...I thought our conversation was over."
"No. Not yet"
"I will not change my mind," then one half of the room turned on like a screen and it showed a live feed that shows Trieze, and Jacen's forces heading toward the Libra," This is what Trieze is doing. The Libra must take on this huge armada."
"Stop this immediately, it's meaningless!"
"No it's not. Even is this was only a cowardly offensive, there's more than enough meaning in it."
"Brother...."
Then Heero steps in front of Relena.
"I don't know what's going on between you and Trieze, but don't involve others," and Heero points his gun at Zechs.
"This war must involve many others...This problem is related to the hope of all mankind."
"Is this why you became a representive to the colonies?"
"The colonies toyed with the will to fight, and continued the path to arms...Chose me as their leader...If you have a problem with that," Zechs then stood up," then you as a native of the colonies should take command of the White Fang....In other words.... become my comrade."
Far off, but close to the Libra, was Trieze's and Jacen's forces. Trieze's Tallgeese stands on top of a carrier, while Jacen floats with the group in Excalibur in Dragon mode.
At the Libra bridge, Dorothy watches as the group gets closer.
"At long last... Trieze? She said in her head.
"Lady Dorothy..." Qiuinze said," All of Libra's units are ready and the main array has finished charging...."
"Let's wait of Milliardo."
"But at this rate....."
"We should be following Milliardo's wishes. Isn't that so?"
"True, but..."
Dorothy turned around to see the large group of suits, carriers, and warships. They were like fireflies to her.
Back in the room where Zechs, Heero, and Relena is.
"Comrade?" Heero said,".....I see...You would say that."
He aims his gun at Zechs's face.
"Is that your answer?"
"Does the person who finds so much meaning in this war have something to say?"
"Unless one fights, one can't realize the stupidity of war....I must make all of mankind realize this."
"Why have you chosen to fill that role?"
"The former leader of the colonies, Heero Yuy, with the Sanc Kingdom attempted to establish complete peace. One in Space....one on Earth."
"Father-?" Relena said
"I am merely following my father's will. "
"Father's will?!" Relena ran up in front of Zechs." You're saying that this battle...this miserable war will bring about complete peace that the Sanc Kingdom advocates?"
"That is correct."
"No, you are wrong. Peace can't be born out of fighting!"
"And that's fine.....Keep thinking of that...."
Heero looked like he realized something and stood down his gun.
"Understood," and he turned around," That's enough isn't it? Your role is over."
"Heero!" Heero walks out of the room
"Relena...No matter what happens....survive through this....Farewell, sister of mine...." then Zechs's image started to fade away.
"Brother!... A holographic projection?" she thinks for a moment and then, "Heero."
She runs out to follow him.
Zechs then walks into the bridge and sat down.
"Enemy units are in range." Dante said
"The charge on the main array?"
"Complete," Dorothy said," but... they're comprised of Mobile Suits....."
"Of course... I'll sent out an advisory. depending on his response. we might have to fire." This shocked Dorothy," I want to eliminate all sentimentality when dealing with him."
"...yes sir."
Meanwhile, Trieze's forces gets closer and then.
"Mi' Lord, " A soldier said," An advisory has come in, it's from the White Fang commander Milliardo. He said that if we advance any further, he'll fire the Libra's main array."
" Acknowledge." Trieze raised a hand, his Mobile suit's hand anyway," This is Trieze Khushrenada. All troops halt."
And every carrier stopped. So did the Federation forces.
"Stand by, until I Say otherwise," He fired up his thrusters and head straight toward the Libra.
"Your lordship!?" the same soldier said," Where are you going!? Wait! Milord!!!"
His face showed a grim look of determination as he sped at the Libra.
"Special enemy unit approaching."
"Launch Libra's units!"
"Belay that order," Zechs said
"What?"
"That's the Tallgeese...... The pilot is most likely be...."
"This is the World sovereign, Trieze Khushrenada. I challenge the White Fang's leader, Milliardo to a duel."
"A duel?" Quinze said," How very O.Z."
"Is he serious? " a soldier said
"That's his usual method" Dante said
"Trieze..." Dorothy said
Trieze stops, still far off from Libra.
"Will you give me your answer…Milliard? Try not to forget that your answer will include your response regarding this battle."
"The duel......is declined!"
Dorothy turned around in shocked.
"W-Why....Milliardo?" She said in her head.
"I am not an "O.Z." soldier...I am in a position where the code of knights does not matter... I bear the will of the Space revolution!! I can't allow such a frivolous thing as a duel to decide the fate of the colonies"
"I see... That is the correct choice. "
"Trieze... Those who stand in my way will be removed!"
"Milliardo... Behind us is the Earth...We will not retreat. I love the Earth..."
"That's what makes you Trieze. "
"Please wait, Milliardo!" Dorothy said,
"Prepare the main array for firing...Target, enemy Mobile Suits spread to include the resource satellite MO-II."
"Use the main array on the Tallgeese?" Dante said,
"It doesn't matter.. it's what Trieze wants!!"
"Milliardo," Dorothey said," Please reconsider!! Please, anything but don't fire upon Trieze!"
"Quinze, Dante.... restrain Dorothy, she's a traitor."
"Yes sir," Dante and Quinze pulls out guns.
"Milliardo...."
"Forward!" Trieze shouted and his suit flies straight toward the Libra.
" Enemy unit approaching!"
" It ends here Trieze!"
"Main array, charging complete!"
"If I die here," Trieze said," your victory is assured. Fire at me! For the sake of peace on the colonies and on Earth!"
"My enemy is the Earth and you as it's representive!"
"Countdown initated."
Zechs jumped forward and lands next to the chair the controls the firing of the array.
"Move over! I'll finish him myself!"
While he does that Dante moves to the guidance controls and makes some changes.
While Zechs readies to push the red button.
Then Dorothy jumped forward to shoved Zechs out of the way.
"Don't! Don't under no circumstances!"
"Get out of my way! This is the path to peace!" he presses the button, but then Dante finishes what he was doing and presses a button of his own and without warning, the Libra started to shift its position. The beam from it fired an went straight at Trieze.
Trieze accepts it, but out of nowhere, Wing shoves him out of the way.
"01!" Zechs said
"Wing Gundam! But why!"
The beams path was changed and it missed all the targets and knocked a piece of MO-II off. Trieze floats forward to see who the pilot was, and sees.
"Lady Une..."
Back at the Libra, Zechs was mad that Trieze wasn't killed.
"Milliardo."
"That's enough...... Don't say a word.."
"How long until the array can be fired a second time?" Quinze asked
"145 minutes are necessary for the charge."
"Mobile Suits approaching from behind! They're Federation Forces!" We're being targeted from both directions!"
"Shit! Launch all available units at once! You don't mind do you commander?"
Zechs only gave off an angry face. He knew only one person that can change the trajectory.
"Why Dante?"
"A battle is only worth fighting when it's being fought....."
Back outside, Trieze gives out a final order.
"To all units..... destroy the Libra!"
"All Federation forces launch all units! All ships break formations and attack!" Jacen shouted and charged forward with his companions.
All the Earth carriers dropped their suits and they flew out toward the Libra like shooting stars. As did the Federation forces. Each carrier launched 2 at a time, until the radar was filled with their suits and the enemies. The most important battle in the history of mankind, the battle that will decide it's fate, begun.
To Be Continued............................
~New Mobile Suits~
The latest in Mobile Suit technolongy. These next gen suits were base offs of Gundams. After the Federation's research on the Gundams, they began to make mass productive verisons of them. The firsts were the Vanguards and Dreads. Even though Relena planned a world wide demilitirization, Jacen has different plans. As he stated, wars and conflict never end, so they must be prepare for future conflicts. The Gundam pilots might get rid of their suits after the war, but the Federation might not, and Jacen might have a saying in the Gundam pilots' future plan of getting rid of their Gundams.
