13 - Warrior

(Many ships leave the docks on Yakin Dule including the Archangel, Eternal, and the Minerva)

Athrun: Alright set course for Earth and move out.

(Lacus appears on the bridge)

Athrun: Lacus?! You should have stayed on Yakin Dule.

Lacus: I'm aware of the danger. I'm here to take command of the ship if you were to go into combat in the Saviour. Saviour is very strong and so are you. We need you out there beside Kira and the others. That's where you want to be right?

Athrun: Well, yes. I don't think I was destined to become a captain.

(As the ZAFT ships head for Earth, the Blue Cosmos forces start moving closer to Orb's shore. In the biggest ship, two new Gundams are being prepared for battle. Two pilots walk in)

Sting: Sting Oakley reporting.

Owl: Owl Nida.

Technician: Ensign Oakley, the Chaos is ready to go.

(The Chaos is a close combat model with big booster pods/funnels on it's back and small folded blades in it's knees. The other pilot with his cool composer walks up and stares at his Gundam)

Owl: Have you finished the suits?

Technician: They weren't fully completed when you aquired them, but we've managed to get them combat ready.

Owl: What about Stellar? Is she coming?

Sting: No, the Gaia is still in space and won't be brought here in time. We'll just go in without her.

(The Abyss has a blue color scheme with to big pods in each arm with two cannons on each. Both pilots board there mobile suits as the ships reach the Orb border. Astrays and weapon vehicles line the beach as they wait for the Alliance ship. Cagalli tries to get into the Strike Rouge, but is stopped by her bodyguards)

Cagalli: Let go dammit! I just got done rebuilding this city and I won't let them ruin it again!

(Strike Daggers and Dagger Ls launch from the ships and drop from carriers flying overhead. The daggers and Astreys start firing at each other and many are destroyed. Rumbles of explosions and fire ring throughout the city as the people evacuate. Cagalli walks into the War room)

Cagalli: I want any available mobile suits out on the front lines. We have to buy as much time as we can before Athrun and Kira get here. What about Buster Dagger and Duel Dagger?

Operator: There are only about 80 complete.

Cagalli: Launch them!

(The Duel and Buster Daggers have the same equipment as both of the Gundam versions except for Phase Shift. The Buster Dagger heads for the beach and starts laying waste to any Strike Daggers in it's way. Duel stays behind slashing down any of the Daggers that bust through the first line.)

Blue Cosmos Commander: Looks like those two G-Unit wannabes are quite troublesome. Launch the Abyss and Chaos.

(Hatches from the side of the ship open. The Abyss dives into the water and the Chaos flies through the air and lands on the beach. The Abyss pops out of the water, flips up the pods over it's shoulders and destroys two Orb ships with it's beam cannons. The Chaos pulls out a beam scythe and starts slashing down Astreys left and right.)

Sting: Where is those stupid Daggers?

(A big beam shot barely misses the Chaos as it quickly pulls out of the way)

Sting: Guess I should watch my mouth.

(The Chaos rushes at the Buster Dagger but Buster shoots it's multi-shot cannon and knocks the Chaos back)

Sting: Stupid little bastard.

(The Abyss pops out of the water and lands on the beach as the Astreys start to fall back. The Abyss meets the Duel Dagger and starts firing at it with it's beam cannons. The Duel dodges and fires it shoulder cannon and missiles. The Abyss blocks with the pods on it's arms and they are barely damaged by the attack)

Athrun: Prepare for atmospheric entry.

(The Minerva, Archangel, and Eternal start to enter the atmosphere along with the MS drop-ships. Cagalli sneaks away while her bodyguards are distracted and she runs into hangar with Strike Rouge)

Operator: The Strike Rouge is getting ready to launch! Who the hell is in there?!

Bodyguard: Where's Queen Cagalli?!

(Cagalli launches in the Strike Rouge and heads toward the Chaos Gundam)

Cagalli: Damn you all!

(Cagalli fires at it with her beam rifle, but the Chaos dodges each shot)

Sting: Hey look, it's the little princess!

(The Chaos starts to slash away at Strike Rouge as it flies back. Cagalli pulls out her beam saber and charges back at the chaos. The two Gundams lock in a saber fight as the ZAFT forces reach Orb)

Athrun: Lacus, take over here, I'm going out.

Lacus: All MS forces prepare to launch.

(The Zaku Warriors launch from the drop-ships and land on the beach. The Custom Astreys also launch from the Archangel)

Mwu: Mwu La Flaga, Heavy Strike, launching!

Dearka: Dearka Elthman, Buster X, launching!

Yzak: Yzak Jule, Duel Double Shroud, launching!

Kira: Kira Yamato, Double Strike, launching!

Luna: Lunamaria Hawk, launching!

(Cagalli is pushed back by the Chaos and gets her beam saber knocked out of her hand)

Sting: Time to die, coordinator trash!

Athrun: Athrun Zala, Saviour, launching!

(With tremendous speed, the Saviour swoops down and knocks the Chaos away with it's beam saber)

Sting: Who the hell?!

Cagalli: Athrun?!
