SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 32 out, this is Chapter 33 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 33: Seven Gundams Reunite
In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...
"You found where the Messiah is?" Tieria exclaimed, Nena having brought back the location of the mobile fortress.
"Yea, after about half a year with Wang Liu Mei." the youngest Trinity sibling nodded and headed the slip of paper to Feldt, who immediately started inputting the coordinates.
"Crypt-analysis of the data is complete." Feldt informed. "It's at point CZ9842R: the dark side of the Moon."
"Mileina, focus the super-long range camera on that point." Sumeragi instructed.
"Lagrange Two..." Allelujah frowned.
"That's an area where they're not even developing any colonies." Ian noted. "The perfect place to hide something, I say."
"I'm showing that location now." Mileina chirped.
"This is..." Lockon gawked at the oddly-shaped mobile fortress.
"Sumeragi-san, there's an encoded message from the Infinity." Feldt reported.
"They're finally here." Ian sighed in relief.
"A fleet is gathering at the point Nena indicated for us." Allelujah noticed the clustering A-LAWs space fleet.
"Then, there's no mistake." Tieria declared. "That's definitely where Joseph Copeland is hiding."
"We'll break through the A-LAWs fleet and put an end to all of this." Setsuna swore.
"This will be a fierce battle like none before." Tieria cautioned.
"Ptolemy will depart as soon as we've finished resupplying." Sumeragi informed her extended crew-mates. "All right?"
"The super-long camera has detected the enemy fleet." Mileina reported, after the Ptolemaios made its preparations and traveled towards the mobile fortress with the Infinity cruising beside them.
"All hands to primary battle stations." Sumeragi ordered, cutting off communications from the Infinity.
"Ptolemy, all hatches open." Feldt readied for battle.
In the Infinity's bridge...
"Infinity, open launching hatches." Hercury took command.
"The main problem lies with the first relay station." Sasha opened communications to the Ptolemaios and the Gundams. "We must destroy that first. Otherwise, they'll be free to fire whenever and wherever they wish."
"Activating METEORs." Hercury ordered. "All hands: level one battle stations!"
In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...
"Sasha is right on target." Sumeragi agreed with the younger woman's assessment. "Focus on destroying the first relay station first. Victory will be determined by who is quicker. We must destroy the relay station before we're surrounded by the enemy's reinforcements."
"Roger!" all seven Gundam pilots chorused in unison and launched within a fifteen minute time-frame.
Near the Messiah airspace...
"The Gundams have launched from their spaceships, sir." the A-LAWs radar officer reported.
"Deploy advance force and commence attack." Goodman ordered and the special duty ships begun their attack.
In the Infinity's bridge...
"Put me online." Sasha told the ship's communication officer. "This is Sasha Peacecraft of the Infinity." she sent her message to the mobile suit pilots on both sides. "This is a notice to all A-LAWs soldiers defending the relay station. We are about to destroy that useless weapon of mass destruction. That thing is unnecessary to protect people, and unnecessary for battle. If you still have any pride left in the uniform you wear, if you still want to fight for the sake of peace, you will let us through!"
In the battlefield...
"She's a blood traitor to the Coalition!" Goodman barked. "Open fire! Shoot them down, for the sake of world peace!"
"We're to divert the enemy forces." Allelujah reminded Soma as the special duty ships opened fire at the Gundams.
Soma retaliated by releasing the Archer's missiles, striking down a group of Aheads.
"Now releasing all compressed particles." Tieria fired his energy ball, taking out another group of enemy suits.
Working in coordination, Allelujah and Soma took out several more attacking Aheads and giving Lockon the opening to snipe the stragglers.
00-Raiser was using its GN Sword to cut down enemy forces. "What's this?" Setsuna wondered as the enemy fleet carried on course. "The enemy ships are..."
In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...
"The enemy ships aren't slowing down." Mileina reported.
"They're ramming us." Lasse realized.
"Setsuna, use the Raiser Sword." Sumeragi instructed.
In the battlefield...
"Trans-Am Raiser!" Setsuna activated Trans-Am, extending the Raiser Sword into a long beam saber and sliced through the enemy ships. "Particle disruption?" he realized, the eight Gundams gathering when a cloud of anti-field soon covered the battlefield.
In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...
"An anti-field has been deployed over a wide area." Mileina reported.
"Particle beam effectiveness is diminished." Feldt added.
"Was it a trap?" Lasse wondered.
"We're lucky that this thing wasn't deployed at point-blank range." Sumeragi reminded.
In the battlefield...
"Let us deal with the frontal assault." Johann told the Ptolemy's Gundams. "The five of you just take out any of the enemy that slipped past. Michael, Nena, switch over to nuclear Drives."
"Roger!" the two younger Trinitys responded.
"Main forces, begin your attack!" Goodman ordered. "Overwhelm them with our forces."
Equipped with their METEOR units, the Trinitys blasted the attacking forces with their beam cannons.
Johann switched to fighting with his beam swords while Michael resorted to firing off his missiles at the attacking enemy units.
In the Infinity's bridge...
"Stop fighting and clear the way." with the communications still online, Sasha continued. "No matter where it's targeted, that thing must not be fired again. Move aside!"
In the battlefield...
"I'm starting to run out of missiles." Allelujah remarked, letting loose an array of missiles at the mobile suits that had evaded the Trinity's assault.
"What the..." Lockon blinked when a rain of blue energy bullets shot past, taking out several of the mobile suits.
"Provide support for Celestial Being!" Klaus ordered.
"Reinforcements?" one of the Ahead pilots remaining was surprised by the additional firepower from Katharon.
"Good of you to show up." Lockon grinned, releasing his missiles from the missile pods. "Great timing, guys."
In the Ptolemaios II's bridge...
"Katharon's weapons work..." Sumeragi was surprised. "They predicted the use of an anti-field. If that's the case, steer the Ptolemy at the enemy fleet.
In the battlefield...
"Katharon?" Goodman sneered. "As if their strength will make a difference."
"General, incoming particle beam!" the radar officer reported.
"A warning to the A-LAWs fleet." Kati issued her warning to Goodman's ship. "We hereby rise against you. As a puppet for the misgoverning Federation, the A-LAWs are no long a military. The future of the world can be decided only by the will of the people. We shall charge you for you barbarity and the people will pass judgment on you."
"That damned bitch..." Goodman growled, cutting off the transmission. "Strike them down! They're all anti-government forces!"
"General, the enemy ships have broken through the anti-field." the radar officer reported.
"Gundam!" Goodman gawked when 00-Raiser shot through the anti-field cloud.
"00-Raiser, eliminating the target!" Setsuna activated Trans-Am and took out the A-LAWs main ship with his rifle.
Elsewhere, near the first relay point, the Trinitys fired up their beam swords and sliced up the first relay station.
"Johann-nii, that's..." Nena exclaimed, as the silhouette of the Messiah loomed in the horizon.
In the Messiah commander center...
"Targets within firing range in twenty." the positioning officer reported. "Particle cartridge in detonation position. The enemy is about to enter firing range."
"Fire." Copeland smirked.
In the Infinity's bridge...
"Engines to maximum!" Hercury barked. "Evade!"
In the Messiah commander center...
"Hurry with the recharge." Copeland ordered. "Have the two Gadessa and Vier take off."
"Now this time, disappear, Sasha Peacecraft." standing beside Copeland, Ribbons grinned.
