Phase-03: Descent
"All mobile suits attack," Murrue shouted.
Ten M1 Astrays and eight GuAIZ units flew towards the Blue Cosmos fleet.
"Arm the Gotfried and ready the Lohengrin. Sledgehammers remain at standby."
The Blue Cosmos fleet approached slowly. The three new Gundams charged towards the Duel and the Buster Gundams and began to engage. The Fury Gundam began charging its plasma induction cannons, the Corsair Gundam deployed its four Mjolnir hammers, and the Apocalypse Gundam began charging its charged particle cannon. Yzak and Dearka, meanwhile, began firing all their weapons.
"Damn," shouted Dearka, "they're too fast."
"Our long range weapons aren't working," said Yzak, "but maybe our melee weapons will." He pulled out his beam saber and dodged the Fury Gundam's arching beam. Beam saber drawn he charged towards the Fury Gundam. The Fury Gundam responded by pulling out its Nidhogg beam scythe. The two Gundams dueled with ferocious intensity.
The Duel Gundam pulled out its new beam saber and charged towards the Corsair Gundam. The Duel dodged the Apocalypse Gundam's charged particle beam and engaged the Corsair Gundam in melee combat.
"You must be ready to die," said a calm, but sinister voice from the Corsair Gundam's cockpit.
"Yeah, but I'll kill you first," Dearka responded coldly as he dodged the Mjolnir hammers.
"Mind if I cut in," said a maniacal voice from the Apocalypse Gundam's cockpit. It fired its handheld Scylla beam cannon.
"Argh," cried Dearka in distressed. He barely dodged the last beam shot. Then all of a sudden he felt a huge impact on his side. The Corsair Gundam had blasted him with his tail cannon. Dearka fired his gun launcher, but both Blue Cosmos Gundams dodged.
The Fury and Duel Gundam were still fighting with beam weapons.
"Why do you fight for the Blue Cosmos?" Yzak asked intriguingly.
"Why, do you ask," a cold voice replied, "because my brother was killed by you in the Forbidden Gundam."
"So your Shani Andreas's brother huh."
"Enough talk," the man shouted. The Fury Gundam deployed its battle platform. Yzak fired his Shiva railgun but the platform appeared in front of the Fury and deflected the beam. The beam hurtled towards Yzak and tore off its left arm.
"You'll play for that," Yzak shouted in absolute fury.
"Not likely."
Dearka too was having trouble with the new Gundams. His right leg had just been blasted clear off by the Apocalypse Gundam's Panzer long range cannons. He knew that victory was impossible. The Corsair Gundam was continuing its assault. The Mjolnir hammers were getting closer and closer to hitting its mark. Dearka pulled out his beam riffle and opened fire on the hammers in an attempt to destroy them. After minutes of continuous firing, Dearka managed to destroy one of them. Feeling a bit more satisfied, he was distracted. The Apocalypse Gundam appeared behind Dearka and fired its charged particle cannon. The cannon tore off most of the Buster Gundam's side.
"Oh crap," shouted Dearka as his systems were failing. His phase shift was almost down. He knew he was about to die. Both Gundams were about to fire their weapons. Then all of a sudden, they stopped and flew away.
Yzak's opponent had also mysteriously retreated. He felt unsatisfied, but was relieved to see that Dearka was still alive. He flew with full speed to his partner and took the remains of the Buster in his arms. With Buster in tow, Yzak flew back towards the Archangel.
"What's the status of the Duel and Buster?" Murrue asked.
"Buster is down, but Duel has got him," Sai replied.
"Why did those Gundams retreat? They had us on the run."
"Captain, we have two GuAIZ units coming from point Alpha 14 Blue. I'm not sure those are our units though."
Murrue pondered for minute. Then she came to a conclusion. "Shoot down those units immediately."
"Captain, you can't be serious."
"Do it, Sai," Murrue shouted in urgency, "we must destroy them."
"Okay, firing all beam guns."
As the Archangel began firing, the two GuAIZ units dodged and fire their two nuclear missiles. The pilots accomplished their mission and enjoyed a brief moment of satisfaction before they were destroyed.
"What are the targets of the nuclear strike," Murrue shouted in distress.
"The bases at Michigan and France," said Miriallia.
"Hurry and warn those bases."
"It's too late. The bases are gone. Now, ZAFT is going to be blamed for this because the missiles were fired by GuAIZ units."
"Captain," said Miriallia, "Duel and Buster are requesting emergency docking procedures. Dearka, he is hurt." With those words, Miriallia ran towards the mobile suit hangar.
She arrived five minutes later. By then Dearka was already on a stretcher with blood all over his face. Miriallia ran over to him.
"Dearka, you're always getting hurt."
"Well, I had to live. I didn't want to die without saying goodbye to you first."
"Oh you," said Miriallia. She was quite humiliated but took his hand gently in his. She then looked over at Yzak and said, "Thank you for saving Dearka."
"It was nothing. He is my best friend after all."
The two accompanied Dearka to the medical bay. At the medical bay, a pretty looking nurse was there waiting to treat him. She had long blonde hair and a pair of ocean blue eyes. Her name was Sara and she was a top nurse from the PLANT of Februarius 8. Yzak seemed to have a thing for her. She rushed over to the patient and began bandaging him up.
"You know, Dearka, you should be more careful. You in quite a critical condition and you have lost a lot of blood."
"I'm okay," said Dearka softly as the effects of the sleeping pill Sara gave him was starting to take effect.
"Hi, Sara," said Yzak nervously. Miriallia couldn't help but notice that he was blushing.
"Hello, Yzak," Sara replied warmly. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt too?" She rushed over to check on his health status.
"I'm fine," said Yzak.
All of a sudden, the intercom began shouting orders. "We are preparing for atmospheric descent, all personal must prepare for descent procedures."
"Looks like we'll finally see Kira and Athrun after all these years," said Yzak.
"Don't forget Lacus and Cagalli," Miriallia said hastily.
The four youths in the medical bay became more hopeful. Athrun and Kira would definitely be a big help in this war.
"All mobile suits attack," Murrue shouted.
Ten M1 Astrays and eight GuAIZ units flew towards the Blue Cosmos fleet.
