Chapter 38: The End Game Pt.1
Jachin Due:
Ezalia Joule, stood infront of many combat ready soldiers, of the green and red uniforms. Most of them were wearing green uniforms. "Today is the day, we end this war, we fight for the lost ones, we fight for our friends, and family. Today all of you become legends, your stories will be told, in years to come, as the best of the best. Today we defeat the Earth Alliance!" she called out.
"Sir Yes Sir!" the entire military body that could be seen called. Jachin easily began to deploy their Nazca class ships, their Lauraisia class ships and their mobile suits, including the new model the GuAIZ, along with GINN's and CGUE's into battle. Even some variation mobile suits, this included Shiho Hahenfuss's CGUE DEEP Arms, along with a number of GINN High Maneuver Types.
The ships, went to reach for the final battle, however, Ezalia went to the control room of Jachin Due. "Lady Joule, welcome!" a soldier said in salute, as she walked on.
"Chairman Zala, our forces are ready for combat, they will attack when the Earth Forces are within range." she informed him, as Patrick smiled.
"Even without them, We'll win this war." he told her, as Ezalia nodded, each of the members of the base knew that it was in reality the control station of the Gamma Emission by Nuclear Explosion Stimulate Inducing System. "Even with their Nuclear weapons, they wont stand a chance against GENESIS." Patrick told her.
"I agree, that is why our ships will protect the PLANTs." Ezalia told him, as he nodded in agreement.
Shiho hovered in her machine, they have to conserve what power, as everyone knew, this would be one long battle. "This is going to be hard." she admitted, as they could see the Earth Forces ships approaching.
Dominion Bridge:
"Pathetic." Glaeser told them. "Numbers are meaningless in this battle." Glaeser told them.
"It seems we have quality over their quantity." Wiel commented.
"In the end, it will do them no good," Sutherland commented from his bridge. "We have nuclear weapons again, thanks to Banken, all they have is nothing but mobile suits." he told them.
"I agree, even though we no longer have the Forbidden, our forces are still more then enough to take out their Machines." Azrael added in.
"What of said Alliance?" Glaeser commented. "The Sahaku's abandoned us, and joined the rogue Archangel." he wondered.
"If they interfere, we'll just nuke them as well." Azrael told them. "And after this, we can destroy Ame-No-Mihashira with Nukes as well, and that is only one station." he added in.
"Ahh, point for the director." Glaeser admitted.
Wiel was weary of the two of them. Indeed this is war, but total eradication is not a part of it. But right now, he was to follow his orders. "Sir, mobile suits ready for launch!" his crewman announced.
"But of course, we begin the attack, I want those hourglasses obliderated!" Azrael told them.
With that, the Earth Force Ships began to launch their own mobile suits. And with that, the battle began, as beams fired every which way, as did kinetic weapons. The G-Weapons from the Archangel Class ships launched, but they were not the only one. The Helen's Voyager, and Wing both launched as well, both of which were in mobile armor form, and both went for the opposition.
Shiho dodged a beam attack from a dagger, and returned fire with her machine gun, turning the mobile suit into swiss cheese. The Mobile suit was no more because of it, as she took another attack to her shield. "Bastard." she told herself as one of her thermal energy cannons snapped into position and fired through the chest cavity of the mobile suit. "Yzak, if only you could see me now." she told herself, as she had both of her thermal energy cannons into position, and began to fire them rapidly. Two GuAIZ's joined in the fray as they fired their beam rifles towards the enemy along side her. "Alright, lets go!" she ordered the two of them, as the three mobile suits went for the enemy.
On the other side, the Buster Dagger flew on through a pair of GINNs which were just bisected by a pair of beam boomerangs at the courtesy of Ed the Ripper. After that very event, she combined her weapons and fired upon a Nazca destroying that ship.
Dominion:
Azrael smirked finally, "Its time, release the Peace Maker force, their targets, are the hourglasses." Azrael told them. With that, several nuclear missile equipped Mobius Armors began to fly towards the PLANTs. Providing Escort to the Mobile armors, were the Raider, and its variable design of the full specs. The Calamity, and Ed, were also providing escort of the machines.
The Voyager slashed a GINN in two and released its wireless remote weapons, each one blasting either a GuAIZ or a GINN. "So, they have been launched." Banken mused as he dodged another attack and fired his beam rifle. "Geesh compared to the White Devil, and Kira, you are nothing." Banken told no one, as he transformed into his mobile armor form, and impaled a GINN with the legs and arms of Voyagers. Then he had them move apart, tearing the GINN apart. "Truly pathetic." he mused again.
"Ahh, poor poor ZAFT, beisdes Testament, and Regenerate, they have no G-Weapons, and those two mobile suits are with someone that doesn't even care about the PLANTs." Heero commented, as he moved with fast speeds with his Wing mobile suit. He reverted to mobile suit form and drew a beam saber and severed a GuAIZ's arm, and then took the blade into a backswing, severing the moible suit's torso. "Just where is that ship?" he asked himself.
The Ship he spoke of, was on the borderline of the battle area, along with three other ships of the Orb Military.
On the Archangel, Sai detected the PLANTs worst nightmare. "Nuclear Missiles detected!" he called out.
"You get that guys?" she asked the mobile suits.
"Got it" Samorei answered her.
With that, the mobile suits began to head foreward faster then they usually did. That was when Kira, Athrun, and Allenby began to use their Mobile suit Embedded Tactical EnfORcer's to their fullest extent, as the targeting systems began. A fireworks of beams, and missiles fired from the three units, many beams went through forces, and began hitting the Nuclear Missiles.
"What?" Orga called, as he looked in the direction.
"Its them." Clotho told himself.
Shani's forbidden began to fire its Plasma cannon, the beam arced, and like the Meteor packs, they were destroying the missiles. "Now look at all those pretty lights." he mused, as the drug began to take over, as he went into his fighter persona.
To Samorei and Mina, they were a bit freaked out by it, but they continued anyways. "My Turn." Samorei called out, as he took aim at an Agamemnon-class carrier, the two cannons snapped into position, and the purple and white energy began to form, and with that, the twin columns went for the ship. The Beams hit head on, and began to cause the internal systems in the ship to explode, and the stationary Nuclear Missiles within the ship, began to detonate the Nuclear Missiles inside the ship.
"Sam look out!" Mina called as she got into the path of a beam, and taking it to the Trikeros. "Back off!" she called as she fired her beam rifle sending a shot through the leg, and then another through the chest of a Strike Dagger.
"Thanks." Sam called to her, as he drew one of his beam sabers. "Now lets go!" he called.
Yzak nodded as the Duel followed his friend. Each of the G-Weapons went into battle, as the M1 Astrays, were charged of protecting the ships. ZAFT was not going to shoot at a gift horse in the mouth, as they ignored the rogue ships, and continued to open fire on the enemy.
The Sword Calamity used by Ed, took notice of the Sahaku machine, and went for it. "here we go!" he called, Savir took notice of it, as he dodged a pair of beam boomerangs, and grabbed both of his "Schwert Gewehr" as did Ed. The four Anti Ship Swords connected with a clash.
Shiho saw the oncoming missiles, and dodged a beam from a Strike Dagger. She turned her head, and saw the Missiles and she was right in the path of the oncoming weapons. "Shiho!" Yzak came calling, as the Duel fired several missiles from its shoulder components. The Missiles instantly shattered, into flying fragments sheering through several missiles.
"Yz. . . Yzak?" she asked, as the Duel got between the CGUE and a Strike Dagger.
"DIE!" he called as he brought up his beam rifle and fired the propelled grenade, which smashed into the Dagger, and had it exploded because of which. "Shiho, you alright?" he asked her.
"Yz. . . ak." she began, as she then nodded.
"Come on, lets show these Earth Forces Scum, what we can do." he told her, which earned him a nod, and with that, the two mobile suits split apart, to fight the daggers. With this, beams were going everywhere, Mu and Cagalli fired on any missiles, and daggers that fell into their ranges, as Mu was using his remote weapons to help out, in such a stunt.
The three Nuclear Gundams were using their METEORs on daggers, and the missiles. Kira was disabling every dagger that he fired at, while Allenby and Athrun were destroying them, do to their personal ways. As with that, Allenby used one of her giant beam swords to use a vertical slash on a Dagger. "This isn't good." she told her comrades. "There is just way to many enemies." she told them.
Kira was using his smaller weapons to disable enemy mobile suits. Dearka was using both of his weapons on enemy machines, as Ahmed was not far from him, doing the same thing with his newly named mobile suit, rather then a M1B. "Time to teach you both a lesson!" came Rena Imelia as her Buster Dagger came for the original, and the Orb mass produced model. She was to fight both of them, but her main target was the Buster. "This is for my students!" she called, as she combined into the anti armor shot gun, and fired on the Buster.
"Argh!" Dearka called out, as he was hit hard by the mobile suit's weapon. "Damn, what is up with this pilot?" he asked, as he fired both of his weapons, and a barrage of missiles. The Buster Dagger though, moved out of the path of the weapons, and fired her own at him.
Ahmed got in the path, and blocked the attacks with his machine's shields, and returned fire with a beam rifle. "Not today!" he called.
Cagalli dodged an attack from a GuAIZ and activated one of her lightwave shield generators on her machines arm, and used the beam type weapon to severe the machine right in half. "Wow, I'm going have to pay Mina back somehow." she admitted as she fired both of her rifles at other enemies. Just then, Mina severed a GINN that was behind Cagalli with her with her, "Totsuka-no-Tsurugi" saber.
"Cagalli, watch your back!" Mina told her.
"I don't need you to lecture me Mina." Cagalli told her, as she fired both of her rifles destroying two Strike Daggers that were coming at them.
"Alright,then how about, we show them how well the Sahaku's and Athha's can work together." she told her, as Cagalli smiled behind her visor.
"Right." she commented, and with that, the two leading nobles of their familys opened fire at the enemy.
"Those two have gotten more tolerable of each other." Mu commented, as he destroyed four daggers, with his Gunbarrels. He then had one of his feelings, and saw the Gunbarrel Dagger heading towards him. "Not him again." Mu said a bit annoyed.
"Lets continue our battle, Hawk of Endymion!" Morgan called, as he drew a beam saber, and opened fire with his four Gunbarrels.
"So be it." Mu called, as he drew his own, and dodged the beams coming from Morgan, as he fired his own set of beams at Morgan. One beam hit the 105, but nothing even happened. "What?" Mu aksed.
"Hmhmhm. Beams are useless, for a short time." Morgan told him. "Like you have Phase Shift armor, I use Laminated." Morgan told him, as the beam sabers connected. The two machines began a deadly dance with their beam sabers.
"Damn, this could be bad." Mu told himself as he used the controls. But the thing he did not know, is that Morgan has more experience, and Morgan once piloted a piece of junk Strike Dagger with success. And now, the two piloted nearly equal machines. "Yeah, I say this is bad." Mu added in, as the beam sabers interlocked with each other.
Athrun on the otherhand, dodged an attack from the Calamity.
Not far, from them was the Archai, which fired its Gottfrieds through the starboard side of a Nazca. "Fire Helldarts!" Glaeser yelled, as the Archai fired said weapons, as they destroyed various GINNs.
"Sir, Mobile suit detected, incoming one of the mobile suits Azrael wanted captured before!" he called.
"Lower bow angle by forty degrees, fire Valiants!" he called out, as the ship did just that, and fired. Athrun barely dodged the attack, but a M1 Astray was not so lucky. "Our target is Jachin, no matter what Azrael wants!" Glaeser called, as the Archai was heading for the said location, and being an Archangel class ship, it has a high chance of doing so. "Fire Anti Beam deph charges!" he ordered, as the ship used its defensive weapons. "Don't use the beam weapons, use our Valiants and missiles, until we are in range!" he called.
Sutherland saw the Archai break off from the main fleet. "Director Azrael. The Archai has broken off from the main group!" he called the Dominion.
"Forget about him." Azrael told him. "He knows what he is up to, I want our main force though, to attack the PLANTs." he told his fellow Blue Cosmos member.
"Right." Sutherland admitted, as the Dynameis began to charge its primary weapon. "Fire the Lohengrin!" he called out, as with that, the twin columns of antimatter streaked across space, eliminateing various of ZAFT machines, that were caught in the beams path.
Wiel was more in command of the mobile forces on the Dominion. "Mobile suit forces, beware of the rogue ships, they have arrived on the battlefield, and have elimnated many of Nuclear missiles." he ordered.
"You sure have learned about this faster then your father did, Mr. Halberton." Azrael told the young captain.
"Shut up." was all Wiel told his director. "Just shut up, and let me keep us alive." he told him. "Load Missle tubes with Wombat's and Fire!" he ordered, as the weapons were launched from the main ship.
Samorei saw this, as he combined both his sabers, and went for some of the Daggers, with his newly formed beam staff, which was the favoured weapon of the Justice, Sam used it with deadly precision. "I wonder." Sam began, as he grabbed a Dagger and absorbed its energy. "Where is mother?" he wondered, as the Nosferatu raised a rifle, and destroyed another dagger.
"So there you are!" came Banken's voice, as Sam turned, and dodged the beams from the wireless weapons.
"Banken." Sam silently said his name. "You are getting very annoying." With that, his mobile suit, went right for the voyager, and the sabers clashed.
"You really think you can beat the Second voyage!" Banken yelled, as the two mobile suits, clashed again and again. "This is really pathetic!" he called, as his machine began to overpower the Nosferatu.
"Its not over yet!" Sam told him, as his Igelstelungs opened fire on the optical sensors of the Voyager.
"What?" Banken asked, as he was seeing the damage the attack was doing. "Damn you." Banken told him.
That was when Sam noticed something else, as Wing came in, kicking the Nosferatu in the face, stopping the onslaught of interecepting slugs.
"Captain!" Flay called on the Izumo. "Nosferatu is now fighting both the Wing and Voyager!" she informed her.
"Ensign Andras, can you support Samorei?" Natarle called out.
"I guess." Shani told her, as the Forbidden went for his new target. "HERE I COME!" Shani called out.
"Oh no you don't traitor!" Clotho called, as his spherical breaker came towards the Forbidden. Shani dodged the attack.
"Shut up you idiot!" Shani called as he fired his Plasma Cannon, and with that, the Raider dodged the attack.
"Bastard." was all Clotho could say, as he dodged the bending beams of Plasma.
"Hahaha, dance little birdy!" Shani called, as he continued to fire. "Hahahaha!" he called, as he swung his massive scythe only to be dodged by the Raider. "Get back here, you coward!" he called chasing the Raider once again.
"Hmhmhm, it just seems your allies can't help you." Banken taunted Samorei as his weapons deflected Sam's beam cannons.
"That's enough!" came the voice of Mina, as the Gold Frame came in with an arcing arch of her saber. Banken blocked it, with both of his machines forearms, only glad the weapons were not beams.
"So, this is her." he mused, as he activated both of his sabers. "Die!" he called, as both of his arms slashed at her, severing the arm that held the saber.
Sam then went into his other state, as the veins around his eyes bulged. "No you don't!" he called, as one of his sabers severed an arm of the Voyagers. However, Banken and everyone were not prepared, for what was coming.
Jachin Due:
"We are lucky the Eternal and its allies arrived." Ezalia told herself. "I just don't like it, that they continue to use my sons machines." she told Patrick as he nodded.
"I agree, however, I've had enough of this." he told her, as she looked at him.
"Are you really going to use that now?" she asked him, as he just nodded. She then agreed.
"Drop Mirage Colloid, order our forces, to get out of the line of fire!" he ordered the members of the room, as the preperations began.
Shiho got the order herself. "A tactical retreat, GENESIS is going to cover us?" she asked herself. "Yzak, get your people out of here, they are going to fire GENESIS!" she called to him.
"GENESIS!?" he asked himself. "Kira, Athrun, Everyone get out of the way, they are going to fire GENESIS!" he called to his comrades. That was when they saw it, a massive satellite phased into existance.
"What the. . ." Sam began.
"Hell?" Mina finished for him.
Archangel:
Sai looked over to Murrue. "Captain, massive gamma radiation is being built up within that thing!" he called.
"All ships, fall back!" she ordered. As the mirrors moved into position, and gamma Rays began to fire towards the focuser of the massive weapon. The beams reflected back to the mirrors as the beams began to spread, and then the Gamma radiation fired towards the majority of the Earth Forces fleet.
Rosa fell from her bed in the Archai screaming, as she heard the screams of thousands of Earth Forces soldiers being engulfed in the Gamma radiation, and with that, the large beam reached across space, destroying everything, and everyone in its path. The four ship alliance all watched the weapon, with horrified eyes of the weapon's power, which put Nuclear weapons into a pale shadow. . .
"No. . ." Sam said.
"Father, you actually went through with that?" Athrun asked himself, as the Justice saw the carnage that was left behind. Several ships, were torn to pieces, mobile suits, and armors as well. Over half of the Earth Forces, were whiped out, with a single shot, a feat that was thought impossible.
Wiel looked at the Carnage. "Everyone, retreat, Retreat!" Wiel called them.
"That is impossible." Azrael said eyes full of horror, as the Earth Forces ships sent out return signals. The four ship alliance did the same thing as their machines began to retreat.
Samorei and Banken, with the AMATU and the Wing stared at the blast, they completely forgot about each other, as they got the signal from Yzak. "Mina, are you alright?" Sam asked the AMATU's pilot.
"Yeah." she told him.
"White Devil, we'll continue this later." Banken told his rival, as they went back to their ship, which was one of the lucky ones. Daggers of all kinds, were retreating, along with the Earth Forces other mobile weapons.
Shani went back for the Izumo. "Those are some lights, I don't like." Shani memoed to himself, as he gave up pursuit of the Raider. With that, his device adminstered another injection of the drug into his system.
"All mobile suits, we are retreating for now." the commanders of the four ship alliance called, as the mobile suits, began to return to their ships.
But they did not expect what was next, like they did not expect such a weapon, the ZAFT forces, began to go after the retreating daggers. "Now, we got you!" a pilot called out, as the mobile suits began to attack.
Kira saw this, and was disgusted in such an act, and without thinking, he activated his METEOR system, and went to stop it. "Don't attack those who are not fighting back!" he called out, as his machine got ready to intercept the attacking forces.
Athrun turned to him. "Kira wait!" he tried to call his friend back, but decided it was usless to try, and went to join him, arming his own weapons. The two machines fired their weapons, and both were going for disabling attacks, Allenby looked on in amazement of the two pilots, as did Sam. The weapons were tearing apart limbs, and heads of the mobile suits, to stop the onslaught.
A short bit of this, Sam keyed his radio. "Kira, we have to retreat, before ZAFT starts attacking us." he told them, as Kira and Athrun nodded, with their machines returning to the ships.
Nearly an hour later, The four ship alliance, safely out of range the other sides, were having a meeting. Each of them were surprised about the weapon used to rout the Earth Forces. The Lead mobile suit pilots, had gathered on the bridge of the Eternal, along with the captains of the four ships. However, Erica Simmons was with them, through radio and visual contact. "That weapon appears to fire a coherent stream of Gamma Radiation." She explained to everyone. "Think of it as a Gamma ray laser, Its power as you saw, surpasses, every weapon we or even the Earth Forces have. It makes the Cyclops system seem like a small candle" she told them, which made the Archangel members, grimace at the thought.
"Just how are we even able to stop that?" Mina asked them. "I'm starting to worry about everything, because of this thing." she told them.
"We think the Izumo's and Archangel may be able to do something to it." Andy told her. "But this is only a thought, a weapon like that, we have no idea what we can do to it." he told them.
"If we can find a way in, we can destroy the source of the Gamma Rays." Athrun told them.
"You mean, starting a chain reaction inside the thing?" Mu asked, as Athrun nodded. "It makes sense, the problem is getting close, let alone, into the thing." he told them.
"I agree with Mu on that, but if we do get in, how do we set the Nukes off, without turning into space dust ourselves?" Samorei asked them.
Natarle put a hand up to her chin. "One of our Mobile suits, can, but if they don't have an ally, . . ." she trailed off.
"Why don't we go for the source?" Allenby asked. "That thing, is likley controlled from within Jachin, either that, or Aprilius One." she told them.
Cagalli nodded. "I agree with Allenby, but we need someone to go in their, but we still have several mobile suits to deal with, as Patrick would likley have both heavily guarded." she told them, as everyone nodded in agreement.
"We do have time on our side." Erica told them. "They seem they can't fire consecutive shots; from what we can tell, the very mirror used to reflect the initial blast, was destroyed in the beam that we saw." Erica explained to them. "So it's replaced after every shot. So that gives us a window of opportunity to Destroy it." she finished.
"How long is this window?" Andy asked her.
All Erica did though was shrug. "Depends on when they begin the replacement. Since this is their first time using it, I'd guess the crew is inexperienced in it, I'd say, we have twenty four or less hours." she answered him.
"This is still bad." Sam admitted.
Waltfeld nodded. Lacus then spoke. "Both weapons are to dangerous, but with GENESIS, we have to make sure it is destroyed." she told them.
"I agree with Lacus." Kira told them.
"It'll all depend on how we do this, the war is no in our hands." Samorei told them. "What is the opposition now?" he asked Waltfeld.
"About fourty to fifty percent of the Earth Forces, were whiped out, in the last shot, along with most of their mobile suit forces. However, Dominion, Archai, and Dynameis all survived the attack, and pulled back. Along with most of their mobile suit forces." he answered him.
"I see, also, Banken and his group survived as well." Sam told them.
"So you did run into him." Mu guessed, as Sam just nodded. "How much of our forces are left?" he asked.
"We still have the majority, three M1's were destroyed in the last fight." Mina answered him.
"Alright, I suggest we all get some rest." Murrue suggested. "Even for just a few hours, we need all the edge we can get." she told everyone, as they all nodded.
"Then we return to our ships." Natarle announced. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'll be sleeping in the Freedom." Kira announced, as he went for the elevator. "We may not have enough warning for when the attack begins again." he explained his reason.
"I'm with Kira on that." Athrun told him. Everyone in bulk went for the elevator, as the pilots all agreed with Kira and Athrun.
Samorei walked alongside Mina, as they went for the shuttle that would take them back to the Izumo. "Will this really be the final battle?" Mina asked him, as Sam had no idea, and expressed it, with a shrug.
"I have no idea. I just have a bad feeling about this. You are full aware, there is a chance that neither of us can come out alive right?" he asked her.
"Yeah I know." she answered him. That was when she felt his hand grab a hold of hers. "Sam?" she asked him, as she could see that he was not even looking at her, his face was looking down on the floor.
"I wont fail." he told her, he then let her hand go, and began to walk down the hall.
"What was that about?" Cagalli asked her, as Mina turned to see Mina.
"I don't know, I think this battle is bringing back old memories of his." she told Cagalli, who did not say anything after that. From what she heard of the young man, is that he blamed himself for everything.
"Go after him." Cagalli told her. Mina looked at Cagalli with somewhat a questionable look. "Mina, . . . I can't believe I'm saying his, but he needs you." she told her.
Mina smiled a bit, from what Cagalli just said. "Cagalli, thanks." Mina told her, as with that, she went after Samorei.
"Hey I said I owed you one." Cagalli whispered, as she went for her own shuttle. She wanted to speak to Ahmed before this all went down.
Archangel Cafeteria:
Tolle, Miriallia, Sai, Kuzzey, Flay, Yzak, Dearka, Nicol, the Astray Trio, Saxten, and Azure all took a drink. Shani was also among them, still an outcast, however Flay had convinced him, to join in with the others. Savir was also their, as he was with Asagi. Everyone knew one thing, that this could be the end, to one, two or even everyone. It was to be the largest battle of the war, with the most dangerous weapons of the war. Things were to be expected, and some people were grim, while others, were trying to make the most of their last day on Earth. Shani drank from his glass, they all could see the druggie, as Shani has come to be known as. They were right, though, as the item created by Samorei and Ayya, It can inject the man with one of two drugs, one is the actual drug, and the other is the antibiotic of the first one. "Come on Shani!" Flay told him, as she came over to him with her own glass. "You should take life to the fullest." she told him.
"Life ended for me long ago." he told her, as she shook her head.
"Hell no, Shani, you are among us, your life has meaning, and now, you should express it." she told him, as he rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." he told her.
"Fine, whatever yourself." she told him, walking back to join the others.
"Express my life? I should have died long ago." he told himself, and with that, he left the room, to head back to the Izumo.
Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol were in their own little posse. "Can you all believe it?" Nicol asked. "That they actually used a weapon like that?" Nicol asked them.
"Some of the Naturals deserved it though." Yzak told him.
"Easy Yzak, not all of. . ." Dearka began.
"I know." Yzak told him, shooting a glance at the buster pilot. "That is why I said some." he told him. "But we still have to destroy it, and Sam is focused on finding mom." Yzak told them.
"Its going to be tough." Nicol told him. "We have no idea where she is, and it's going to be a large battle." he admitted.
"That is an understatement. Now even though we only attacked the Earth Forces last time, or tried for them only, they now have GENESIS, and that will be protected from anyone and everything, and its Jachin Due we are talking about." Yzak told them, which earned some nods of agreement.
Kusanagi:
Ahmed waited at the shuttle, as Cagalli, and Kisaka disembarked the shuttle. "Welcome back." he told them, as he then looked at Cagalli.
"Hey Ahmed." she said. "Mind if I speak with you?" she asked.
Ahmed looked at her but followed, to the observation window over the hangar. "What is it Cagalli?" he asked and with that, she wrapped her arms around him. "Ahmed, I'm going to be fighting out there." she told him, as Ahmed placed his hands on her back. "I don't want you, Kira, Athrun, or anyone to die." she told him.
Ahmed smiled hearing this from her. "Cagalli, I'm glad I have met you." he told her with a smile, as she looked at him, with her glazed eyes. "No matter what Cagalli, I'll protect you." he whispered, as she nodded to him, and layed her lips upon his.
Not far from them, Kisaka smiled, and went towards the bridge. "Ahmed, you are her true body guard now." he whispered heading towards his destination.
Eternal Hangar:
Allenby floated over to Kira. "Kira." she began.
"Alley, what's up?" he asked her, as she smiled.
"Kira, I wanted to say good-bye, just incase. . ." she told him.
"Shh." he told her, caressing his hand against her face. "Allenby, thank you, for everything, even though we first met under the wrong circumstances." he told her, Allenby smiled at that, as when they did first meet, they litterally tried to kill each other, with that, she remembered the Strike dodgeing the inhanced beams from the glass in the Desert Sand.
"Well those days, you proved you were better then I am." she told him, as he shook his head.
"I'm just like you Allenby, I just had more luck on my side." he told her, and with that, she smiled and kissed him.
"We will return to each other." she told him, hugging him, one more time, before the final battle.
The day passed slowly, but surely for everyone. They were all on edge, some couldn't sleep, some had nightmares, and some people had the best nights of their lives.
Jachin Due:
"Chairman, it seems the Earth Forces are still in the area." a female sensor officer told him.
"We have pirated their signal, they are waiting for reinforcements from the moon." the officer told them.
"Well then, set the next target for Ptolemaeus Crater." he ordered, with that, his loyalists, began the targeting procedure for the Earth Alliance base. "We will usher in the new world, the world of coordinators." Patrick told them. He then turned to Rau, who was standing behind his chair. "To make up for your failure in stopping the Eternal." he told the commander. "I want you to keep every enemy out there away from Jachin and GENESIS." he ordered the man in the mask.
"Does this include in killing Athrun?" Rau asked the chairman.
"Protect it, by any means necessary , and I mean any." Zala told him.
Rau just smiled, as he bowed. "Yes of course." he told him, and with that, he turned, to head into the final battle of the war.
A/N:
Pt 1 is done. The Final Battle is about to begin, everything of this little story will come to an end, or will it? Next time, on The Stone of Jade: The End Game pt2 next.
