SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 22 out, this is Chapter 23 of this fic and the start of Season Two. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Tieria/Sasha between Season One and Season Two. Allelujah/Marie and Lockon (Jr.)/Anew in Season Two.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 23: Wait for Me in Space

With the Ptolemaios II...

The remaining Ahead squad was bombarding the still shielded ship with their rifle fire, with Lockon and Tieria providing cover-fire.

With Setsuna and Saji...

Dodging Louise's fire, Setsuna sliced off her Ahead's right leg and shot past the enraged blond, preparing to head back to the Ptolemaios when Bring entered the fight.

"You're not getting away from me." the younger McWilliam condensed his GN Claws into a beam sword.

"Don't get in my way!" Setsuna roared, clashing with Bring in a sword fight. Overpowering the Garazzo, he maneuvered 00-Raiser out of Bring's attack range and using a nearby meteorite as cover, took Bring by surprise and kicked the Garazzo downwards before raining fire on the mobile suit and forcing Bring to eject himself before his got caught in the unit's explosion.

With the Ptolemaios II...

"More reinforcements?" Tieria growled, still defending the Ptolemaios. "I can't risk using Trans-Am in this situation."

"Behind you." Orange Haro chirped a warning as Lockon shot down another Ahead. "Behind you." Lockon turned to open fire at Patrick's unit, only to have the GN-X III take out his rifle.

"For my Colonel and her victory." Patrick charged in, drawing his beam saber.

Lockon gritted his teeth and fended off the attack with one of his pistols.

"Now." Patrick grinned, giving his two subordinates the cue to take out Cherudim.

In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"Cherudim..." Feldt gasped, her sensors indicating that Lockon was sandwiched between two Aheads ready to fire.

With the Ptolemaios II...

"What the..." Patrick was shocked when the two Aheads were shot down by 00-Raiser.

"What was that?" Lockon wondered, taking the opening to punch Patrick.

With 00-Raiser making quick work of the other Aheads, Tieria ended his fight with a cannon blast. "Is that..." said purple-haired Innovator blinked.

Compressed particle charge complete. Setsuna heard Revival's voice as he was firing away at the remaining Aheads.

"This will finish it." Revival grinned, unaware that 00-Raiser was heading towards his direction. He, however, was forced to abandon his hiding spot when 00-Raiser slashed the meteorite he was standing on into four with his beam saber. "There it is!" he turned to face his new opponent and fired his Mega Launcher at 00-Raiser. "I'm not done yet." he snapped, the powered-up Gundam moving aside to dodge the energy beam. Not relenting in his attack, Revival continued to use his energy beam to chase after 00-Raiser, said Gundam moving out of harm's way and shot towards the Gadessa.

"Madness." Revival hissed. "Nevertheless, I'm the chosen heir of the Ritter Family!" he pulled out his beam saber and stabbed 00-Raise in the chest. "What the..." he was shocked when the Gundam melted into GN particles and vanished from sight. "Right there." he turned to the reappearing Gundam and tried to defend himself with his beam saber, only to have 00-Riser slice the weapon with its GN Sword. "Don't mock me!" the Ritter heir screamed and sliced at the Gundam with his other beam saber, only to have the 00-Raiser vanish again.

Reappearing behind Gadessa, Setsuna sliced the mobile suit with his GN Sword from the shoulder down.

"Defeated..." Revival used the escape pod to retreat before he got caught in Gadessa's explosion. "I'm one of the world's next rulers and I was defeated..."

"Damn it." Andrei cursed, the squad was now down to three units. "How are we gonna win without the Gadessa? Withdrawal orders?" he saw his new orders. Using the meteorite field as cover, he had the remaining Aheads retreat.

In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"Enemy mobile suits have begun to fall back." Feldt reported.

"Ptolemy, cease firing." Sumeragi ordered. "Gundams, assume defensive positions."

"How many machines did Setsuna take out?" Lasse wondered.

"I lost count after the tenth." Sasha admitted.

"Don't relax just yet." Sumeragi cautioned. "Our main objective is still the destruction of the satellite weapon. Mileina, I realize you must be worried about your parents, but I need you to use the Karels to repair Ptolemy and the Gundams."

"This is Arios." Allelujah reported back. "I've escorted the transport ships to a safe distance. And Mileina, your mom's okay, too."

"I'll go take care of the repairs now." an overjoyed Mileina took off.

In the Ptolemaios II's infirmary...

"Dr Moreno, how is Ian's condition?" Sumeragi asked via the communication channel.

"His injuries are non-threatening." the blond doctor assured. "He'll be fully recovered within ten days."

In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"Feldt," Sumeragi voiced. "Any response at all from Wang Liu Mei?"

"No, she hasn't replied yet." Feldt answered.

"We need reliable information on the satellite weapon." Sumeragi mused.

"An urgent report from Nena Trinity." Feldt noticed the new pop-up window. "The satellite weapon has fired a second shot at Earth."

"We can't waste any time." Sumeragi knew they had no time to lose. "Attention all hands, this is Sumeragi." she broadcast her announcement. "Once the Ptolemy's hull is repaired, we'll use the Trans-Am to move out at full acceleration. We'll being our assault on the enemy satellite weapon on the orbital ring. Repairs on the Gundams will continue as we accelerate. Everyone, let's give it our best."

"The solar reactors of Cherudim, Arios and Seravee are now directly linked up to the Ptolemy's power system." Feldt reported.

"Initiate Trans-Am." Sumeragi ordered. "Ptolemy, maximum output!"

In the Memento Mori...

Goodman laughed boisterously as the particle beam cannon fired its third shot, destroying half of Katharon's second space fleet.

In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...

"A third shot was just fired into space." Sasha breathed in horror.

"Feldt, analyze it." Sumeragi instructed.

"That weapon can fired into space, too?" Allelujah was astonished.

"What was it aiming at?" Tieria wondered.

"It's aimed at Katharon's space fleet." Lockon growled. "Damn those bastards..."

"These are the Federation's," Setsuna frowned. "No, these are the Coalition's methods." he corrected himself.
