Chapter 12: Battle of Confusion
"What is going on Heero?" Trowa asks as they run back to the apartment.
"Vanguard noticed that we found their based and obviously think they have a plan to beat us," Heero begins, "The letter was an ultimatum to meet them at their base or they would attack Tokyo. We have no choice, it is probably a trap."
"Any plans?" Trowa asks as they reach the apartment and grab their items, "I can't imagine they have good enough pilots to actually over take us, so they must have another plan."
---Meanwhile (SM - Hikawa Shrine)---
"Where should we start?" Mars asks.
"My guess would be where we were attacked before," Mercury starts, "They were talking about how the base should be nearby or they we wouldn't have been attacked."
Tuxedo Kamen jumps down to get involved in the conversation, "You way want to grab the other scouts, this has the makings of a pretty big battle."
"What makes you say that Tuxedo Kamen?" Moon asks.
"Think, they have been searching that area for probably two weeks right?" Tuxedo Kamen explains, "Then why all of a sudden does their enemy send them an ultimatum. They have got a plan. And our help may be more of a necessity than a commodity."
"I'm worried now, let's find the others and get going," Jupiter frets.
"You won't have to go far!" a familiar voice rings out from the entrance to the shrine. There Uranus, Neptune, and even Pluto walk in.
"Pluto, why are you joining in this battle?" Luna asks.
"This will be one of the toughest battles you face. You will need all the artillery you can acquire." Pluto sinisterly explains.
"Now I'm even worried, let us go now that everyone is here." Mercury states. The group nods and jogs off towards the picnic grounds.
---Meanwhile (SM - Enroute to Vanguard's Base)---
"Trowa, I want you to guard the south side of the base, near where we found the girls last time and I will take the opposite side." Heero strategizes, "I don't know what to expect, but this battle has to remain between us and the Vanguard, not this world."
"Roger that," Trowa acknowledges as he breaks away from Wing Zero to the south side of the base they uncovered a week ago.
Wing Zero arrives on the north side of the base and sets down. Nothing is waiting for him, at least in his view.
"So, Zero-One, we meet once again," the now familiar voice rings out over the radio, "I'm glad to see you do not want to bring this world into our little war here."
"You are foolish, Audric," Heero jabs, "You will not succeed with what you are planning. You couldn't possibly have the man power to take down the Gundams, this is a futile battle from your standpoint."
"Interesting Zero-One, how did you know it was me?" Audric sneers.
"Who else could build a subterranean base in under a week," Heero explains, "Only a man with a lot of money and a mining company with ties to scientific research. Tell me, did you end up using Sylvia Noventa?"
"Ah, yes the foolish young girl. Yes, I used her and then tossed her to the side. It is but a mere statistic." Audric loudly laughs.
"You underestimate her abilities for getting revenge," Heero states mildly. 'Yeah, if I am not mistaken she knows Quatre and could possibly find a way for us out of here.'
"You underestimate my craftiness as well, Zero-One" Audric gloats, "This will be yours and Zero-Three's final battle, so all does not matter. I have acquired allies from this world and together we will be rid of you all!"
'What?' Heero thinks to himself. A hatch from underground opens and black Taurus mobile suits begin piling out. The battle has begun.
Trowa hearing the whole conversation watches from a distance as the Taurus' leave the distant bay and the ground begins shifting under him. HeavyArms jumps backward to allow the gate to open so he can join the fight. More Taurus suits begin piling out of that entrance. 'Wonder what he means allies?' Trowa ponders as he readies himself for battle.
The Taurus attack quickly and in tight formation hoping to give themselves a chance against the invincible Gundam. 'These are humanly manned?' Trowa notices surprised. He checks his radar and notices there are slightly more Taurus on the other side attack Zero. 'I guess whatever they are planning is going to take place over here.' Trowa thinks one last time before he begins methodically tearing through the opponent's ranks.
HeavyArms raises his arm and fires the dual guns through the first group. Two fall immediately while the third one tries one last desperate attempt to land a hit on HeavyArms. As he nears, HeavyArms swings his gun-toting arm and backhands the suit as it approaches sending it flailing away until it hits the ground and disables. HeavyArms unleashes it army knife and lunges through the next group to his left. With a masterful four swing strike, he disables all three suits, which fall onto the ground. Now that half of the remaining suits are to his right, he raises the arm once again and fires into the group. Most of the suits are damaged and a few fall. HeavyArms has definitely got the upper hand on his battle. That is until two more hatches open on the east and west sides and foot soldiers begin piling out. Each side begins moving his way.
Heero is having a little rougher time with more Taurus on his side. Deciding to use his beam rifle on the lowest setting to avoid the public seeing an errant blast, the rifle isn't to great benefit. The enemy suits surround Zero, only for him to show off the dual rifle's ability to still wipe them out as he does the double beam attack. He takes out quite a few, and before they have a chance to regroup, Zero charges with the full power beam saber and tears through one suit after another. The alarm goes off as two more gates open to the south and what looks to be foot soldiers start piling out and head toward HeavyArms' position. 'The plan, huh?' Heero arrogantly downplays in his mind until it hits him.
"Those creatures!" Heero states as if an idea just hit him, "Those girls are here to protect this world from them and now they have joined Vanguard. This could be more of a challenge than I thought."
HeavyArms continue shredding through one Taurus after another. The foot soldiers near, but he keeps his focus on the Taurus. 'I wonder what they are suppose to do?' Trowa tries to figure out. Then he sees it. A red ball, not quite like a fireball leaves the leading one's hands and chases after HeavyArms. The suit continues its attention to the larger enemies expecting the force of one bullet to hit.
The blast hits HeavyArms left shoulder and the suit staggers from the shockwave. 'No way, they couldn't be that powerful,' Trowa states in his mind. The Taurus and him stop moving analyzing the new turn of events. Trowa zooms in on this little monster with a gun for an arm. 'Ugly little bastard,' Trowa mocks. The being raises his other hand and drops it giving an order. Trowa's eyes nearly dilate as his screen is engulfing with multiple colored shots, nearly a hundred of them.
HeavyArms dives out of the way, leaving a frozen Taurus standing in the barrages path. He watches in horror as the wall of energy his the Taurus like a brick wall. The suit flies back in one giant energy explosion. The suit now lies on the ground looking like it had been riddled with a hundred exploding shells. 'Damn, this is not good at all,' Trowa analyzes.
Trowa raises his gun to start firing through the mass of infantry. With that the group breaks into twelve divisions of about twenty each. He fires at the slowest moving and most fall over at the massively overpowering attack. The beings hurt the worst actually explode or vaporize. However that is only one group out of twelve. Six have already reached the position they want and have already started firing. HeavyArms tries to dodge the multiple incoming shots, but still gets hit by a few knocking him off his feet. HeavyArms lies on the ground stunned that the Gundams may get beat by infantry. Then it hits him, 'There is one way to win this battle.'
Just as he thinks that a voice hits hit ears. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter screams seeing Trowa's suit on the ground. The electric shot fires at one of the groups that fired and connected. Most of the group scatters expect for one unlucky soul that trips. The attacks hits home as the youma screams one last breathe before it vaporizes. Trowa looks over and sees all ten scouts and two guys battle ready and looking quite determined. The scouts split up and begin attacking groups individually.
Trowa rights himself as he gets up seeing how well they are all faring. Trowa first notices the one obliterating the most.
"Death Ribbon Revolution!" Saturn screams as the one group of youmas scatter but not fast enough. Half of the group is enveloped in the dark blast. Every one of them that touched the blast instantly died one way or another.
Trowa then notices three new ones faring quite well themselves.
"World Shaking!" "Deep Submerge!" "Dark Scream!" Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto fire into two groups. The groups split into four, but quickly scatter when half of two of them are annihilated by the multiple attacks.
HeavyArms turns around to see how his friends are fairing, and it isn't all that well. Mercury's "Shine Aqua Illusion!" is only taking one down and injuring another each time she uses it. The same goes for the others "Crescent Beam Shower!" "Fire Soul!" "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" and "Spiral Heart Attack!"
Trowa has seen enough and glows HeavyArms eyes thanking the girls. He tears through a few more mesmerized Taurus suits while dodging youma shots. Trowa notices the Tuxedo guy and Ryo standing on opposite sides of the field yelling out were enemies are, that the girls might not see. 'Pretty well organized,' Trowa thinks, 'They keep surprising.'
Soon the girls begin to lose the element of surprise and the youmas start ganging up on each individually. "Time to stick together!" Ryo yells, the girls here and mold into one group and begin firing together.
All of a sudden a group of gray Taurus leave out of the north hangar bay. HeavyArms notices but doesn't care since there are only four and he is tearing through six last ones right now. As the six take their punishment, Trowa realizes that the Taurus are heading not to him but the girls. The Taurus' surrounds the frightened girls and fires into the ground around them trapping them.
"Hear this Zero-Three!" a familiar voice once again speaks. "Come out of your Gundam and hand yourself over to us or we shall fire upon these girls!"
'So, I get to complete this battle that way anyway,' Trowa ponders as the thinks back to what he was before the girls showed up.
"Not so fast," a voice rings out as a giant angel jumps between the girls and one of Taurus and thrashes it away. The girls stand in awe remembering Ryo vision about a giant angel.
HeavyArms watches as Wing Zero hurls away the first of the four gray Taurus. Without warning however, four groups of the youmas fire their energy blasts at his blind side. "Heero, behind you!" Trowa yells knowing their radar doesn't pick up such signatures.
It was too late however; about fifteen blasts hit Zero's back and send him falling. Zero falls on its back stunned, but right next to the girls shielding them from anything else. 'Odd creatures,' Heero muses trying to get Zero uprighted. One of the Taurus walk up to Zero and points its gun at point-blank range on the cockpit. Zero stays still.
"I will take care of this battle, winning it the way I know we need to," Trowa darkly states.
"If that is what your heart is telling you Trowa, you have my support," Heero states as if he didn't care what was about to happen.
Trowa's cockpit open and he stands with a small push button device in his hand. Heero closes his eyes in admiration of the sacrifice that is about to be made for the world.
The girls look up to Trowa not knowing what he is about to do. "What is he doing?" Mars asks.
Then Jupiter looks into his eyes and notices they are seemingly empty. "He's going to commit suicide and blow himself up with all of our enemies!" Jupiter cries aloud noticing what he plans on doing.
Trowa looks back to the hysterical girls and most importantly to the crying eyes of Jupiter, who is staring right back into his. He gives her the sweetest smile he has ever let out thanking her. Trowa's face then sullens, as he focuses on the task at hand.
"Trowa, no!" Jupiter screams at the top of her lungs. Trowa's thumb then drops toward the button.
An explosion is heard.
Everyone looks up, Trowa most importantly with his thumb no more than 1 cm from the button. Above the fight, a surging explosion is seen and DeathScythe appears with a battered space Leo attached to its waist.
Trowa and Heero smile inside as they look up and think together, 'They have finally found us.'
Over the radio everyone hears, "Ha, ha! The God of Death is back again!"

"What is going on Heero?" Trowa asks as they run back to the apartment.
"Vanguard noticed that we found their based and obviously think they have a plan to beat us," Heero begins, "The letter was an ultimatum to meet them at their base or they would attack Tokyo. We have no choice, it is probably a trap."
