Samuel Lewis
Chapter 01: Twisted Fate
Heliopolis: January 25th CE 71: Morgenrete facility
The colony was at peace, even with a war between Naturals, and the gene altered Coordinators. However, Heliopolis holds both Natural, and Coordinator Civilians. However deep inside the Morgenrete facilities, people may have thought the colony has no touch on war, however deep inside it was a different story. As a young man wearing a Morgenrete Inc uniform, walked through a pair of large doors, for his day of work. The person had blue eyes and short silver hair, with an average build, and the height of five eleven. The lad carried a electronic clipboard under his left arm. Upon his left wrist he wore a gold watch, which he slipped off, so it would not interfere with his work, as he placed it within his locker, as he put on the red uniform of an Orb Mechanic. "Morning Samuel" a female co worker called to him, as Samuel waved back. Samuel has been a worker for Morgenrete for nearly a year now, ever since the bloody Valentine nearly a full year ago. In fact, he was apart of the work force, for the top secret Earth Forces G project.
"Hey" was all Samuel said back in a calm voice, as he finished putting on the uniform, and walking into the main viewing area, as he watched over the dormant machines that layed below the viewing area.
"Ahh, Mr Lewis, so good to see you have arrived." came an aristocrated voice from behind the Morgenrete employees.
Samuel turned around to see the newcomer who came into the room. The man wore a large purple gown, and had long brown hair, and eyes of a deep crimson color. "Lord Sahaku, its good to see you have arrived." Samuel told him giving a bow to the nobleman, as Rondo Ghina Sahaku nodded at his employee.
"Hmm, how is the Astray project coming?" Ghina asked the people in the room.
"All four Machines are ready, Jade Frame has been equipped with the Phase Shift Generator, and is ready for testing." Samuel reported to his boss, and the only person, that knew Samuel more than others did.
"Good, I do want these machines to be an even match to those petty Earth Forces machines." Rondo said with a smirk, as he looked at Samuel, with his deep crimson eyes. "Well, lets get it tested, those Earth Forces machines will be ready to move out soon, so we can focus on our own machines more now rather than those petty things they call mobile suits."
"I see, and I agree." Samuel told him. "Tell me Rondo, how is your sister doing these days?" Samuel asked him, as the two walk down the halls.
"Ah yes, Mina my darline younger sister, I have the force, she has the way of persuasiveness, she is the reason you are up here, isn't that right?" Rondo asked as Samuel nodded. "Yes, I see, I bet if she wanted to, she could get you to fight this war is that correct?" He asked.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Samuel asked him this time.
"Oh, just that well, you are pretty much her lapdog. Doing anything she asks, its as though you like her. Even with your current status, I know you are nobles blood, but that is behind you now is it not?" He asked him, as Samuel looked away ashamed.
"That is true, but you didn't answer my question sir." Samuel told him.
"Oh yes, excuse my rudeness for your question my petty friend. As far as I can tell, my persuasive sister is doing just fine. She is at the Sahaku Estate here" He replied to him, as the two continued to the Heliopolis Secret hangar.
Heliopolis Civilian Area
Upon a small little out door building, a young chest nut brown hair teen typed away on a laptop as he listened to the news of the latest events on the war. "Kira!" a males voice called from not far, as the young teen raised his head, as his amethyst eyes, met upon a pair of brunettes. "So here you are! Professor Kato was looking for you." the teen told his friend.
"Again!" Kira replied, as in reality, he was working on something for this Kato Prof already.
The girl that accompanied the young male wore a orange dress, and sleeves not connected to the rest of the dress, as her arm was hooked around the others own arm. He wore a grayish dress shirt and dark blue pants. "He said to drag you there when we found you." the girl told him. She was Miriallia Haww, and her harm hooked in her boyfriends arm, Tolle Koenig, two of Kira's closest friends. "What is it now? Does he need your help with something again?" Mir asked him. With that, Kira put his laptop computer back onto the table.
"Damn, I haven't even completed the one he gave me yesterday. . ." Kira commented as he leaned back after looking at the notepad of paper in his hand. Tolle came over, and looked at what Kira has been listening to.
"Something on the news?" Tolle asked him, as he looked over Kira's shoulder at the computer screen.
Kira nodded, as a green Mechanical bird landed on his shoulder. "Yeah, about Kaoshiung. . ." Kira told him, as the two watched the news, as a reporter told them what was going on, as in the background, was the mobile suit known as the GINN, used by the ZAFT military of the PLANTs.
"Ehh. . ." Tolle screeched as he saw what the news broadcast was. "If this is from last week, then Kaoshiung has probably already fallen. . ." Tolle commented, as Mir watched from Kira's other side.
"Hmm," Kira sighed, as he closed the laptop after turning it off.
"Isn't Kaoshiung pretty close to us?" Mir asked. "Will we be alright?" she asked a second question, when not getting an answer from the first.
"Mir, you shouldn't worry about that." Tolle told her. "Even though they're close by, we are neutral territory after all." Tolle explained to her. "There's no chance that Orb would get involved in the war." Tolle assured her.
"Really?" Mir replied, as she looked at Birdy who flew off. "Then it's okay if thats the case." she continued still with concern in her voice. Kira on the other hand, was just sitting quietly remembering a conversation he had with a friend before this war began.
"Kira?" Tolle asked, as he put his own face right infront of Kira's. With this, Kira was shocked, and fell backwards, then going to the side with surprise. "What were you doing?" Tolle asked him. However, Tolle did not wait for the answer and continued on anyways. "No matter, lets go, the prof is waiting for us." Tolle told them, as the three of them, left heading towards the transit station. Kira quickly grabbed his things, and followed his two friends. As in other areas, the Neutrality of Orb, does not seem so neutral.
Morgenrete facility:
Samuel was floating in a hangar, infront of four machines, the furthest one on the right was some kind of mobile suit, many parts of it, was white, with gold areas upon it. The next to the left, was another machine with the same design, just where the gold was on the last machine, was Red. The same with the next machine, it also had the same design, but rather than Red or Gold it was blue. Then the final machine, which was an actual dark grey, do to armor that uses electricity to reduce the damage from all forms of physical attacks. Which at the time, was deactivated, which is the Phase Shift armor. "Ah, Samuel, what is your research telling you?" a male scientist asked him.
"Seems that the PS Armor on the Jade Astray is working better than we thought, we will be able to give the other three the same armor some time soon. Probably about a few weeks after the Earth Forces get their machines into real battle." Samuel told the scientist/Mechanic. "How are the A-Packs coming along?" he asked the man.
"Seems to be alright, a total of twelve packs, three per machine have been made, and another is being constructed as well." The mechanic told him.
"Alright, that would do for my report to Lord Sahaku." Samuel informed the mechanic as he moved towards the hatch to take the report to the Lord.
Back at the Transit station, Kira, Mir, and Tolle all arrive as they look at the people that are there, and one was a particular person that Kira has had an interesting in for a long while, even though he was in a grade higher than her own. She wore a pinkish red gown, and long flowing red hair. She was speaking to two other girls, who were obviously her friends. Kira was speechless when he saw her, as most guys are to the girls they have a crush on. "Oh, Miriallia!" The girl called, as Kira knew her as Flay Allster.
"Hey!" Mir called back, as the now group of six got together. That was when one of the other two girls, grabbed around the neck of the other one.
"Hey Miriallia, you should know right?" the girl asked.
"What?" Mir asked confused what the person was talking about.
"Stop it already!" Flay pleaded with her friends.
"She got a letter from Sai Argyle!" The girl told Mir, as Kira looked at Flay.
"But she isn't telling us anything." the other girl told them. As behind Kira and the others, three people were coming, two males and a woman, as Fllay tacked her two friends.
"Thats enough you two!" Flay told the girls.
"Ahem." The woman behind them muffled to the teens. "If your not getting one, mind if we go?" the woman asked, as Tolle and Kira let her go by them.
"Sure go on ahead." Tolle told them, as Fllay looked at her friends again.
"Forget about it!" She told her friends as the three people climbed into the automatic car, which took them away from the group.
'Who were they?' Kira wondered to himself, as the vehicle vanished among their line of sight. As soon as the next car pulled up, Flay and her two friends climbed in, leaving the next one for Kira and the others.
"A letter from Sai. . ." Tolle began knowing of how Kira feels about Flay. "How surprising for Flay Allster." he mocked as Kira looked at him with surprise. "Sai sounds like a formidable enemy." Tolle told Kira slapping his hands onto Kira's shoulder. "For you Kira!" he told him, as Mir pushed Tolle over to the car, that all three were to take to the Morgenrete facility.
"Hey I don't really!" Kira called after his friend. A while later, Kira and the others arrived at the facility, as Kira swiped the card through the reader giving his identification.
"Fine Mir, if you wont ask, I will." Tolle told his girlfriend.
"Tolle, that is enough already." Kira told him, as the car was given clearance, and drove into the facility. Upon a while later, the three came into the main lobby, where they saw Samuel walking in the hall.
"Samuel!" Miriallia called as the silver haired youth turned to them.
"Hey Mir, Tolle, Kira, whats going on?" Samuel asked, as Tolle put both of his hands behind his head.
"Well, the Prof asked us to come by, so here we are." Tolle told him as Samuel nodded. The four were good friends, even though that Samuel went to the same school as they did, he was a grade higher, and had a job here at the Morgenrete facility, even though he just transfered to the school a few months ago. "Mind tell us where the professor is?" Tolle asked him.
"Oh yes! sure sure." Samuel told them, as he lead them to a simulation room, for technical studies, used by the professor. "So what is going on these days?" He asked the group.
"Not much really, besides the Prof overworking old Kira here." Tolle answered slapping Kira on the back.
"I see, well here it is, Sai and Kuzzey are already inside." Samuel informed them, as the three students went in, as Samuel nodded. "Ok, I'll most likley see you all later, got to hand over my report to the boss." Samuel told the three as he left them, Sai, Kuzzey, and another member of the party that was in the room as well.
"Ahh, so your all finally here." Said the blonde with the orange sunglasses from behind the computer monitor. Kira then noticed another person leaning against the wall.
"Who's that?" Tolle asked his blue haired friend, Kuzzey Buskirk.
"Ahh, the professor's guest." Kuzzey told him. "She was told to wait here." he informed his curious friend.
"Where's the professor?" Kira asked, wondering where the one that wanted him to be there was. As at the same time, Samuel was walking the halls towards, Lord Sahaku's office. As unknown to both of them, the princess of their homeland was somewhere in the facility. A long with several ZAFT soldiers, with one thing in mind, to steal the new Earth Forces prototype mobile suits.
Sai held up a disc towards Kira, "I believe he was keeping this for you Kira, I think." Sai told Kira as he handed it to the teen.
"What is this?" Kira asked him.
"It's probably the work that he has for you." Sai answered him.
"What is with all this non interesting work he gives me, 'Improvement on the frame-set module.'" Kira told them, what the disc said on its cover. "Well, time to get back to this program analysis." Kira told them, as they all got to work. Tolle first however, came up to Kira and placed him in a cross face chicken wing.
"Let's hear about the letter first!" Tolle told them, as Sai got a surprised look upon his face.
"Letter?" Sai wondered.
"It's nothing!" Kira managed to get out from Tolles grip.
"As if!" Tolle mentioned, lifting Kira off of his feet.
"What is it?" Sai asked as the two teens continued on.
"It's nothing, Nothing!" Kira called out.
"What is it Tolle! Just tell Me!" Sai told them, as the visitor began to move, trying to go through some door she had her eyes on.
"Stop it Already!" Miriallia ordered the three of them.
"Stop it, you're chocking me Tolle!" Kira muffled.
As out in the halls, Samuel continued on track to the Lord's office, as the entire facility became busy. "Hey whats going on?" Samuel asked a passing mechanic.
"ZAFT ships detected, they have launched mobile suits!" The person called as Samuel looked at him, with a wide eyed expression.
"Hurry, get the Lord to safety, I'll go close off the Mobile suit Hangar to everyone, and set the self destruction of the Astrays." Samuel told him as he went for the hangar, in a full run. That was when it all began, as the ground began to shake from the tremors caused by interior explosions. Causing Samuel to stumble over his feet as he ran. Everyone in the Morgenrete facility felt the tremors as equipment fell from their positions, as several of the Civilians and workers began to feel the problems. Do to all this events, the colony went to alert, telling all civilians to head for the nearest shelter. Sai, began to lead his friends out of the area,
"What's happening?" Sai asked the first person he met as they were all heading down the stairs.
"Who knows!" someone called, "Were being attacked by ZAFT!" Someone else called. "Mobile suits have even entered the colony!" "You should hurry to!" some else told them, as the blonde visitor looked around, trying to find another path, for what she had in mind.
She took off, and Kira noticed this. "Hey wait!" Kira called, as he chased after her.
"Kira!" Tolle called.
"I'll be right back!" Kira called back. As in the Astray hangar, Samuel was beginning the self destructing program, then got an alert where he then saw the Gold Frame grab a large bazooka designed for the GAT-X102 Duel.
"What? Whos in that?" Samuel wondered, as he wen running towards the Jade Astray, opening the hatch and then hopping into the cockpit of the machine, and closed the hatch, however the Gold Frame, took aim and fired destroying the hangars wall, leading the area to the endless vacuum, as its right arm was damaged beyond repair from the blast. Samuel activated the monitors, as the Vacuum sucked the air from the hangar, with both the Red, and Blue Frames, held withing large cases, of a strong metal. "Gold Frame whats going on?" Samuel called, as no answer came from the mobile suit, when it ripped out and discarded the faulty right arm, and took the Bazooka instead and took off with it out of the colony. Samuel looked upon the OS of the machine he was in, and began to reprogram it to fit with his style. "Alright, this should do it, now let see if this will work." He wondered, as the Jade Astray began to move towards the hole, as he also grabbed an empty cargo case, that was the size of the hole, and plugged it into the gaping gap. "Alright, now to minimize the beam in the rifle." Samuel told himself worked on the program, to allow the beam rifle to fire a concentrated beam, as though it was a blowtorch as he began to meld the metals together.
Further into the facility, Kira finally caught up with the straggler. "What are you doing?" Kira asked her, as he turned her around to look at him.
"Why did you follow me?" She asked him. "You should hurry up, and return to the others." She ordered him. Just then, a explosion happened behind the two, leaving no where to turn back to. It also caused the unknown person to Kira to lose her hat, letting him see the golden blonde hair.
"A. . . Girl?" Kira wondered, as though it was his first time seeing one.
"What do you think I was?" She asked him. With that another explosion happened behind them. "Forget it, just go!" she told him. "There is something I must know." She told him, continuing on the path she was heading.
"Where, I can't go back anymore." he told her. He grabbed her wrist and began to pull her towards the direction she was heading. "Come on lets go." He told her, as he dragged her behind him.
"Let me go, you idiot!" She told him.
"Come on, at the Factory there should still be a shelter." and with that, a few seconds later, they emerged at a catwalk, looking down upon a gun fight, as machine gun fire could be heard throughout the area. And they saw what they were fighting over, two mobile suits, both dark grey in color. "this is?" Kira wondered as he saw the fighting going on.
"Just as I thought." The woman said putting her head on the railing and going to her knees. "The Earth Alliances new mobile weapons. "Father you betrayed us all!" she yelled, causing a female soldier below to fire upon them, but Kira got them out of the line of fire.
"It's no use crying right now!" Kira told her, as the two ran for the closest shelter. "So just run!" he told her. With that, Kira got to the shelter he spoke of. "See, there are people taking shelter here." Kira told her.
"There's still someone out there?" a voice asked from the intercom.
"Yes there are two of us, please open the door." Kira told them.
"two?" the reply asked.
"Yes!" kira answered.
"We're already full. . . Shelter 37 is in the left block. . . can you get there?" The person asked.
Kira looked at the destruction in the direction of the shelter mentioned. "Then at least take the girl thats with me!" Kira told him.
"Yes of course, we can still fit one of you." The person replied as the shelter door opened.
"Get in." Kira told her as he shoved her inside the door, as she resisted to go in.
"No I," she began.
"Just get in!" Kira commanded her. "I'll get to the next one." He told her. "It'll be ok!" Kira told her, as he shoved her in, and closed the door before she could react. With the girl gone, Kira went for the next shelter, as the gunfire below continued.
The woman down there ordered everyone that was down there. "Hamada, Bryan, activate them hurry!" she called. As a soldier up where Kira and the girl once were took aim.
"Look out behind you!" Kira called, as the one that had her targeted miss, as the woman turned around, and shot the soldier herself. After that, her clip of ammo went empty.
"Come on!" she called to the teen.
"I'll head for the shelter in the left block!" Kira called to her. "Don't worry about me!" he answered.
"The only thing left there is the door itself!" she told him, as she opened fire with a pistol at the ZAFT soldiers. Kira then catapulted himself, landing on one of the two mobile suits. That was when one of her comrades was killed for killing another. "Hamada!" she called firing at her comrades killer. However, the ZAFT soldier turned and fired at her, piercing her arm, but luckily, the gun Jammed so it could not finish the job. With that, Kira rushed to the woman to give her air from the wound. However, the red clad soldier came running at them, with an army knife ready to kill anyone in his way.
Kira looked at the soldier coming his way, and saw the face of his attacker. "Athrun" was all Kira could say, as the soldier stopped infront of them.
"K. . .Kira" was the reply from the soldier. The woman raised her wounded arm, and fired upon the soldier, who left them, and went for the other machine. She then pushed Kira into the cockpit of the machine they were on, and jumped in herself, sealing the cockpit behind her. As the mobile suit Kira was in the woman started it up, as the word GUNDAM came up, and split itself into an Acronym known as General Unilateral Neuro - Link Dispersive Autonomic Maneuver. With that, the mobile suit known as the GAT-X105 Strike began to raise from its sleeping area, as the entire facility began to go into a blaze. Samuel in the Astray Hangar, activated the Astrays' h Phase shift armor protecting the machine and him, from the searing heat as the Hangars doors exploded..
"Damn, the facility is self destructing!." Samuel yelled, as he targeted the beam rifle to the ceiling, after he change it back to its default settings. After a hole was created, he boosted the thrusters getting him out before the whole place went.
Outside the facility, the civilians of the colony were running for their lives to shelters near by. As the facility detonated, with the gray variations of both the GAT-X303 Aegis, and the GAT-X105 Strike emerge from the explosion. When the strike landed, it's walk was staggering, as though it was a newborn child trying to walk its first time. As on the inside, Kira looked at the monitors seeing what exactly was the enemy, as he saw a standard ZAFT Ginn, and the Aegis, obviously contemplating with what the plan was, and the failed ZAFT soldiers attempt to steal the Strike. He was then shocked, as he could see Mir, Tolle, Sai, and Kuzzey all running from the battle. 'Damn, they haven't gotten to the shelter yet!" Kira called in his mind. The GINN took two single shots, causing the Strike to lose its non perfect balance it already had. The GINN then put its machine gun on its back, and drew a long sword. With that, the GINN came running towards the Strike, with its destruction in mind. The woman Earth Forces officer managed to have the Strike dodge the attack in time, but who knows if lady luck would be on their side the next time. Kira fell onto the woman, as she tried to keep the Strike on its feet.
"Get up, unless you want to die!" She yelled at him.
"I'm sorry!" Kira replied to her, as he tried to get back up. That was when they both saw the GINN charging right at them, with slicing the Strike in half in its mind. However, the Earth Forces woman, hit a button, causing the Strike to go from its dull gray, to white, blue, and red as the forearms blocked the incoming sword attack. "This mobile suit!" Kira said surprised, as the woman screamed in pain from the wound she suffered earlier. With that the GINN flew away, as the Aegis changed colors as well, and blew away two missiles heading its way, with the Igelstelungs. After Destroying an artillery truck, the red machine flew away. While the GINN charged the strike again, as the Strike fired its own igelstelungs, which missed the GINN completely. The GINN hit the strike with a horizontal slash, knocking it off balance. Which had it smashed into a nearby building. And with that Kira saw his friends near by, and if they didn't do something, the Strike could fall on top of them.
However, before the heavy sword of the GINN could connect, a beam shot fired from the distance, melting away the sabre of the GINN's. "What the?" the woman asked, as they saw the origin of the shot. They saw a mobile suit much like the Strikes, however, in its hand was a beam rifle, and on its upper part of the Forearms were two handles of the beam sabres. "Thats not one of ours" she told herself as Kira took the state of confusion to get his friends out of danger completely. He hit a button allowing the Strike to go under, and ram into the GINN. With that the unknown machine landed in between the Strike and the GINN.
Inside the newcomer, Samuel was at its controls, as he opened fire with his Igelstelungs at the fallen GINN which kicked in its thrusters to get out of the way. "These bastards wont destroy my home without a fight." Samuel told himself, as the machine was at its full power, and weapons at the ready.
Inside the Strike, Kira got Murrue to move, as he began to recalibrate the Strikes Operating system. "With this OS, I'm surprised this machine can even move!" Kira shouted.
"Its only in its testing phase!" Murrue called back, as she was now to Kira's left, as he was in the pilots seat. Kira brought down the keyboard, and began to write the OS himself, with incredible speed. As the jade machine dodged an attack from the stubbed sword, Giving Kira the precious time to write the OS.
"Starting the calibration, reconfiguring the 0-Moment Controls and CPG, Connect the machines vision control to the aiming module, neural linkage network will be optimized, Retrieving results from the Meta movement parameters, Field forward control restarted, Commands Inputted. Deviations corrected, movement routines connected, System online, Movement strut activated." With that, the GINN dodged the green machine, and opened fire on the Strike thinking to take the weaker one out first. The shots caused minor damage to the armor, and knocked the two people in the cockpit around. With that, both machines took to the air, as Samuel watched the GINN fire at the strike.
"By the looks of this, the pilot of the Strike seems to have gotten better somehow." Samuel told himself, however he made his machine place the beam rifle on the small of his machines back, and drew the two beam sabres from the machines forearms, as frozen pillars of light ignited. Just incase the Strike required some help.
Kira now however was searching his machines systems for what weapons it had to defend himself. "Armor Schneider, is that all there is!" He called out. As with that, the hip compartments of the machine ejected two knives as the Strike charged towards the GINN. With this change in the Strike, the GINN opened fire which the Strike dodged the attacks, and implanted the two knives into the GINN disabling it. Samuel noticed the pilot escaping the machine, as he looked worried.
"Strike move now!" Samuel called to the last Earth Forces machine.
"This is bad, do as the pilot says!" The woman told Kira as it was to late, as the GINN self destructed right infront of them, knocking both of the Strikes Occupants were knocked unconscious as it fell to the ground.
Samuel quickly went over to it, putting away his machines weapons, as he looked around for any medical help. Upon moments he saw Sai and the others. "Sai, Mir, Tolle, Kuzzey!" Samuel called to them, as his machine powered down beside the Strike. With that the cockpit opened. "Come on you four!" he called to them, as the four teens looked at each other and ran over.
"Samuel whats going on?" Tolle asked, as Samuel climbed onto the Strike, and manually opened the cockpit of the Strike.
"Doesn't matter right now, these two might need Medical attention!" He called to them. With that, he looked into the cockpit, as his face turned from concern to shock. "No way Kira!" He called, placing his feet to where Kira once was before he took the controls.
"Kira?" Mir wondered, as Sai and Tolle climbed up on the Strike.
"Kuzzey, go find a working vehicle, Mir find something that can help us patch these two up!" Sai called, as the two did as they were told, with Samuel, passed the two teens Kira's unconscious form, and then passed up the woman.
"We need to get these two somewhere safe." Tolle told them, as Samuel climbed out of the Strike.
"Sound plan." Samuel told him, looking at the Astray Jade Frame.
"Just what the heck is going on here?" Tolle asked the silver haired youth.
"ZAFT attacked what else, these machines however, are top secret stuff, can I trust all of you to this secret?" Samuel asked them as they nodded. "Don't even tell the Earth Officer this, but that machine there." he told them as he pointed at the machine he was piloting. "That is an ORB prototype, for its right of self defence, the machine were on now, is an Earth Forces machine." Samuel told them. "The rest I will tell you in time." He told them, as Kuzzey arrived.
A while later, The Strike was kneeled down inside some sort of park, as Samuel was in his machine keeping an eye out for any enemy, with his machines phase shift armor non active to save energy, as it held the Armor Schneider in its hands. On the ground, Kira had already come to, as the Earth Forces officer began to come to as well. "You woke up!" Mir called, telling everyone what had just happened. "Kira!" Mir called.
Kira came over as the woman tried to move. "You'd better not move yet." He told her. She looked at him, remembering him from the battle a short while ago. "I'm sorry for doing something irresponsible" Kira told her, as Mir came with a cup of water in her hand.
"Would you like some water?" She asked her.
"Thank you." the woman told her, as Kira, and Mir helped her drink the water.
"Wow this machine is amazing!" came Tolles voice.
"Can you move it or not?" Kuzzey asked.
"Hey, don't be playing around with that thing!" Sai called up to the two teens, as though they were young children playing with a new toy.
"Why did these things become gray again?" Tolle wondered, as the woman saw the Astray.
"Main power is off or something." Kuzzey answered.
"Get away from that!" the woman yelled, as she grabbed her hand gun, firing in a spot that was close to both teens heads that were on the machine.
"What're you doing?" Kira asked her, as she stood up, aiming at the teens. "They were the ones that brought us here!" Kira told her. "They are the ones that brought our unconscious forms to this area." Kira pleaded with her. She then aimed the weapon at Kira's face.
"I appreciate the fact that you all saved me, now tell me, who is in that mobile suit." She called pointing at the Jade machine.
"Lieutenant Ramius, there is no need for this." Samuel called, as the cockpits hatch began to open he lowered from the machine as it reverted back to its dark gray state.
"You, what the hell, and where the hell did you get that machine?" Murrue asked him, as he shrugged.
"As the GAT series is a secret, so is this machine, and with the way you are, you don't want that secret out, and I don't want this one." Samuel told her.
"Fine, but these civilians, they have fallen upon, a top secret weapon of the Earth Alliance military!" Murrue told them, as Samuel nodded, however stood by his machine. "Its not something civilians are allowed to meddle with." Ramius told them.
"What? Wasn't it Kira who piloted it just now?" Tolle asked, as the Gun was pointed at them once again.
"Everyone, even you Samuel, over there." She ordered, calling the shots because of the weapon in her hand. "All of you, your names now." Murrue told them.
"Kuzzey Buskirk"
"Tolle Koenig"
"Sai Argyle"
"Miriallia Haww"
"Kira Yamato"
"Samuel Lewis." Each one of them stated.
"I am Murrue Ramius, I'm a commissioned officer of the Earth Alliance Army, " She told them, as Samuel smirked at her. "What are you smiling about?" she asked him.
"Not much, as you can see, you have also seen Top Secret data for Morgenrete." Samuel told her, as he upholstered his own pistol. "So it seems to be a little predicament for you, however I don't think it matters to any one of us anymore." He told her, holding his gun on an injured woman.
"Indeed regardless of what we do right now, we have been exposed to military secrets, and for these civilians, they must stay with me until I can contact the appropriate authorities to decide your arrangements, they will have to stay with me." Murrue told Samuel, who nodded.
"As I must accompany you to make sure this one stays secret." Samuel told her, holstering his weapon.
"What, but we are neutral! we have nothing to do with any army and such!" Sai told them, as Samuel looked at him.
"I'm sorry, but not any longer" Samuel commented. "Orb may still be Neutral, but there is no doubt, that ZAFT thinks Heliopolis is Neutral any longer." He told them, walking toward the Astray. "I'll be back later, I have a place to check out." He told everyone with a wave, leaving the civilians dumbfounded. "Lieutenant, I trust you can fill them in on the situation." He told her, snatching the Zip line and into the cockpit of the Jade Frame, as it took off towards the north.
"What the heck is he talking about?" Kuzzey asked.
"We're only being attack because the Earth Alliance is here, thats the reason why all this started!" Tolle called out, as Murrue fired a few shots into the air, to get the arguing teens attention. She then aimed the gun upon the group.
"Be Quiet!" She ordered them. "Like Mr. Lewis said, you have no Idea. However, saying it doesn't concern you because your neutral." She began, as Tolle place Mir behind him, as though protecting her. You are foolish to be thinking like that." She told them. "ZAFT have somehow discovered our secret here, and attacked, that is all there is to it. And this secret, is something you all have seen. This is your reality now." She informed the group of teens.
"This is unbelievable." Sai commented.
"Unbelievable? Well now its time for you to believe it. We're at war!" She announced to them. However, the Jade Astray in its gray form landed in the courtyard of the Sahaku Estate. He walked into the halls, as Murrue continued to speak, as Samuel searched the estate, worried for his friend. "A war between the PLANTs and the Earth, Coordinator, and Natural. The world outside of your little worlds." She told them. "Now you Kira was it?" She began putting her gun away looking at Kira.
"Uh, yeah."
"Get in the Strike and see if you can contact any Earth Forces in the area." Murrue told him, as Kira just shrugged his shoulders and did what she asked. While at the same time, Samuel walked in the halls of the Sahaku Estate.
"Damn, I hope everyone got to the shelter in time." he told himself, finding a picture framed on an end table. It was a sky view of Onogoro Island at Orb. "Well, no one seems to be above ground now, and no damage has been done to the house, so. . . theres nothing for me here." He told himself, leaving the building back to the machine. When he was back in the cockpit, he typed in a certain series of commands. "Lets see, this machine was designed with a bunch of packs, let see if any survived." He wondered, as the thrusters of the machine was hit, taking him towards what was left of the facility.
However, during this time, Kira has been siting in the Strike, trying to get a hold of anyone. "Any Earth Forces in the Area, this is the GAT-X105 Strike, please respond." Kira radioed. "Any Earth Forces in the area, please respond!" At the same time, Sai drove up, in a military truck, with a really long trailer. Kira returned to his current boss, as Sai did as well.
"You wanted me to get the truck marked number five right?" Sai asked Murrue, as she nodded at him.
"Yes it is, thank you." She answered.
"And, what do we do now?" Sai asked her.
"Connect the Striker pack to the Strike, then Kira." She began turning towards Kira. "Try the communications again." she told him.
"Alright." Kira told her, as he then saw the Jade Astray flying by, towards the facility.
"I wonder where he is heading now? Theres nothing left of the facility, unless hes going to get another one of those secrets." Murrue commented, as she watched the mobile suit heading that way, with a Beam rifle still in hand. As with Samuel, he landed his machine, as he used it to search for something, and he found one.
"Hmm, crate 2, that would be, the subeta." He told himself, as he got all three of the packs that were around the machine. "Binsoku Pack, Isei pack, Subeta pack, good they are all here, all pack resembling the Strikes own packs." He told himself, as he set up the trailers in one spot, and sat the Jade Astray in position. Once he was out of his machine, he got to a control panel beside the mobile suit. "Ok, the code was?" he asked himself. "DAMN IT WHAT WAS THE CODE!" he yelled. Samuel banged on the crate for a short while then he remembered a certain set of words. With that, he typed the three words into it. The words Ame-no-Mihashira onto the keypad, as the system began to activate. "Good old Rondo, predictable as usual." he told himself as he got the system set up, as it began. The truck opened up, as a large green back pack, connected to the back of the Astray unit. "Good done." And with that, an explosion could be heard in the sky. "What now?" he asked turning to see what has just transpired. "What a TS-MA2mod.00 Mobieus Zero and a ZGMF-515 CGUE, shit this isn't good." He told himself, as he went and got into the cockpit of his machine. As at the site where Kira and the Others were, the Launcher Striker Pack was equipped to the Strike.
Inside the CGUE, a masked blonde haired ZAFT commander came in after slicing the Linear Cannon, of the Zero unit. "Oh no you do not!" Samuel called through the ZAFT frequencies.
"What?" The blonde Commander, Rau le Creuset wondered, as the mobile suit stopped its attack. "This machine wasn't in the data." he told himself. The Jade machine fired its beam rifle many times, as extra thrusters provided from the back pack thrusted the machine to its new enemy. As the Jade Astray got closer and closer, it was stopped, by another shockwave of a large explosion.
"What is it now?" Samuel wondered, as his machine flew in the air, as the giant, red and white ship with two things on its bow that looked like legs. "No way, it can not be! The Earth Forces ship the Archangel!" Samuel called seeing the ship of massive power. As the three Mobile suits in the area, looked at the ship in utter amazement.
