Kira smirked as the twin nuclear missiles streaked towards the Providence Gundam, but his jaw dropped in shock as the grey machine effortlessly dodged both of the massive projectiles by only a few inches, leaving them to slam into the far wall of the hanger, blowing a huge hole in the side of the ship. The Providence Gundam was quick to streak through the huge hole, emerging into the blackness of space, and Kira growled as he followed the grey machine into the void.
"You destroyed the Earth and killed humanity, you need to die!" Rau yelled as the Freedom charged in and slashed at the Providence with a pair of wrist-mounted beam sabers.
"Go fuck yourself!" Kira shrieked, as the Providence dodged both of his beam saber slashes and kicked the Freedom away. Kira quickly reoriented himself and snarled. "I already tried to explain it to you, but you're just too damn stupid to listen!"
'I do hate to admit it, but that asshole does have a point...I drove humanity into extinction, but I also helped to bring the entire species back from extinction!' Kira thought to himself, as the Freedom reoriented itself, while the Excalibur opened fire with countless anti-aircraft guns, flak cannons, air-to-air missile launchers and beam machine cannons, instantly filling the blackness with a massive barrage of beam blasts, machine gun rounds, missiles and flak, all of the weapons aimed at the grey form of the Providence Gundam.
At the same time, the huge flying wing aircraft known as the Aigaion was launched from the underside of the Excalibur, leaving glowing afterimages and countless trails of brightly glowing GN particles in its wake. The Aigaion had been modified to operate, not only within the atmosphere of a planet, but also in the void of space, and as soon as the Aigaion's rocket engines had cleared the hull of the Excalibur, they roared to life, helping to propel the huge carrier into the blackness.
Kira smirked slightly as the Aigaion majestically sped ahead of the Excalibur, a pair of beam blades igniting along the leading edges of the wings, as countless anti-aircraft guns, flak cannons, air-to-air missile launchers and beam machine cannons opened fire, instantly filling the sky with a second hellish barrage of beam blasts, machine gun rounds, missiles and flak. As with the Excalibur, all of the Aigaion's weapons were aimed towards the Providence Gundam.
As the Providence Gundam dodged wildly, Kira let out a scream of rage as he unleashed his DRAGOON units, rapidly swarming them around the grey machine. However, they didn't open fire with the typical beam blasts; instead, the remote weapons opened fire with temporal inversion cannons. Much to Kira's annoyance, the Providence dodged all of the shots, before then unleashing its own grey DRAGOON units and opening fire on his own blue ones.
Kira barely glanced at the upper left hand sub-screen in the cockpit as an emergency warning appeared on it, reading; 'Warning, multiple temporal incursions detected. Dimensional rip in-progress.'
"I don't care about destroying this hellish universe!" Kira yelled to the computer as he continued to relentlessly fire on the Providence, occasionally lashing out with the Freedom's own chest-mount temporal inversion cannon. After a few more seconds, and nearly a dozen more blasts from the Freedom's multiple temporal inversion cannons, the Ptolemiaos II suddenly appeared. The ship was surrounded by a GN Field, and was glowing with the distinctive red glow of Trans-Am, as it streaked towards the Excalibur. To the horror of everyone, a massive Borg Cube appeared a few short seconds later, streaking after the Ptolemiaos II, while pummeling the ship's GN Field with an endless barrage of beam weapons and torpedoes.
Kira turned to glare at the massive cube, while still swarming his DRAGOON units around the Providence Gundam. The amethyst-eyed man scowled as the still familiar hail erupted from his speakers a few seconds later. "We are the Borg. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."
On the Excalibur's bridge, Murrue made a cut-off motion with her hand, and Lacus quickly silenced the voice.
"Hope, fire the World Devastator Cannon, twenty-five percent power." She ordered, and almost instantly, the four women once again felt a powerful vibration in the deck plates beneath their feet, as colossal energies surged within the Excalibur's city-sized bulk. Ten seconds later, a single pencil-thin energy beam lashed out of the Excalibur's centerline world devastator cannon, slamming into the Cube and tearing it apart from the inside out with a single, massive explosion.
The Freedom once again clashed beam sabers with the Providence. While the two machines were locked in a stalemate, Kira grabbed the Providence Gundam's head with his left hand and fired his palm-mounted beam cannon, completely obliterating the head of the grey machine with a single blow. Nevertheless, the Providence did succeed in severing the Freedom's left arm with a beam saber slash, destroying the limb and leaving nothing more then a smoldering stump.
"Die, faggot!" Kira shrieked as he ignited the beam blade on his right leg, and with a single kick, sent it sawing through the Providence Gundam's torso, cleaving the machine in half at the waist, and an instant later the Providence Gundam was engulfed in a massive fireball. Kira glared at the wreckage as his DRAGOON units once again docked with his machine, and after a moment of silence, he began to move back towards the Excalibur.
Kira once again glanced at the upper left hand sub-screen in the cockpit as the emergency warning appeared once more; 'Warning, dimensional rip in-progress and accelerating.'
"AHHHH!" Kira yelled when the Freedom started to shake rapidly, as it was suddenly hit in the back by repeated beam blasts. Kira snarled in rage as he instantly whirled around to see a crimson mobile suit behind him. He instantly recognized it as the Infinite Justice Gundam, but it was holding a very large beam cannon.
"SAY GOOD NIGHT!!" The pilot yelled, the voice was that of Athrun Zala, but Kira didn't have any time to think about that, as the Justice fired the cannon and a large beam blast hit the Freedom, sending it tumbling through the blackness.
"FUCK THIS!!!" Kira roared as he quickly reoriented himself. With a flash, the beam saber on the Freedom's left wrist ignited, as the white machine screamed towards the Justice Gundam.
"Revenge doesn't suit you, Kira." Lacus admonished through the communications line, her voice was calm, but also projected an air of authority. "It's a dark road, and I don't want you to travel it again. Anger has its uses, but you shouldn't let it rule you, it will only lead to regrets later. After all that's happened, you should know this by now."
As though it were being controlled by Lacus's voice, the Freedom Gundam suddenly stopped in its tracks, beam saber ignited, only two feet away from the Justice Gundam's cockpit hatch. Had the Freedom continued forward, the glowing energy blade would have sliced through the cockpit of the Justice Gundam, cleaving it in half.
"Well shit." Kira muttered. "That's the Infinite Justice Heavy Weapons type." Now that he was getting a good look at the crimson machine through his monitors, he recognized it. As the name implied, the Infinite Justice Heavy Weapons Type, was a heavily armed version of the Infinite Justice Gundam, one which was supposed to have been rolled out two thousand years earlier, during the Second Bloody Valentine War of the second timeline, but was never completed.
"Kira," Murrue's voice ordered a few short seconds later. "Capture the Infinite Justice Heavy Weapons Type, do not destroy it."
"What? You can't be serious!" Kira said as he raised his beam rifle, aiming it at the cockpit of the crimson machine.
"I am ordering you to capture that machine!" Murrue yelled, her voice still radiating a tone of authority, but despite the authoritive tone, Kira could tell that she was losing her patience.
"Fine." Kira finally replied as he extended the Freedom Gundam's left palm. "Freedom is now capturing the Justice Heavy Weapons Type."
A fraction of a second later, the Justice was bathed in a cone of blue radiation energy from the Tranquility Directed Neutron Disabler mounted within the Freedom's left palm. As if it were a smoldering ember doused by a tub of water, the Justice's nuclear reactor went into an emergency shutdown, despite the fact that it had formerly been operating at maximum power, the neutrons within the fuel rods were now unable to propagate their nuclear fission reaction. Denied its primary source of power, the Justice automatically switched to its battery, instantly losing its Phase Shift armor, primary sensors and primary thruster control.
Kira let the crimson machine float aimlessly in front of him for a few short seconds before he transformed the Freedom into its mobile armor attack mode and grappled the Justice between his claws, he then turned and boosted towards the Excalibur.
