PHASE 3 Begins
Chapter 15 – The Forceful Princess
The Nadesico quickly rolled away from the three Capital ships, and returned fire with the Genden Gattling cannons. "Tactical! Load Freedom Arrows in missile launchers! Fire at the first Capital ship!" commanded Genowa. The Nadesico came to a halt as the missile launchers descended from the lower hull. In a flash, about thirty missiles launched from the bays and crashed into the Capital Ship. The forward laser batteries on the enemy ship would not function, and the engines gave out. "Valiant Cannons! Fire!" The Nadesico then targeted the bridge of the Capital ship, and destroyed the bridge using the Valiants. "Ma'am, we are getting a message from Gundam Phoenix…he is telling us to retreat to a safe distance…" said Luca from her Comm. Station. "What, why?" asked Rina. "He said something about…a new Gundam…" Luca replied. A…new Gundam? The IFTA built a new Gundam? Genowa thought.
Gundam Phoenix and Gundam Nirvana began to duel. Their beam sabres clashed, their shields met. "Ark Odaiba…you will not win today," said a voice over the radio. What? That…that…that can't be, Ark thought. He knew who it was: Maww La Paine. "I…I killed you, Damnit!" Ark replied. "No, you did not, if I can remember…I destroyed the PHI myself, but that did not mean that I killed myself," replied Maww.
Gundam PHI had just finished destroying a Mobile Suit when it started to charge at the Nirvana. "You…will…die!" yelled Mania over the radio. "Mania, no…don't engage Maww! He'll destroy-"Mania shut off her radio, and switched the PHI's weapons to dual-beam sabres. The beam sabres popped out, and joined together to make one. "Now…it's my turn!" Gundam PHI came within reaching distance of Nirvana, but Maww would not have this happen. Instead, he quickly flew out of the way, and using the Nirvana's Strike Wings, rained down beams on PHI, causing it to malfunction. "Argh! Damnit!" yelled Mania.
"Mania, return to Nadesico, now!" Kesser yelled into the radio. There was no reply. "Mania…Mania?" Kesser was worried, and frantically searched for something to rescue PHI with. "Da…Dad…I'm fine, but PHI isn't…she's badly damaged," replied a voice over the radio. Kesser took a sigh of relief, and grabbed onto the hands of PHI. Kesser immediately flew over to the Nadesico, and requested the catapults be extended. "Aye, granted. Maintenance teams to the main catapults!" said Genowa over the radio.
Ark had a hard time keeping up with Nirvana, as it was Phoenix's counterpart. "You will not win this day, boy!" yelled Maww. The sounds of explosions could be heard from outside of Ark's cockpit. "I don't…think so!" Ark yelled as he brought Phoenix up towards Nirvana and sliced off one of its arms. "Fool!" yelled Maww, as he brought his beam cannon down towards Phoenix. "Today…you die!" Nirvana pulled the trigger, and shot Phoenix's legs off.
"Hurry, Ark needs back up!" said Luca over the radio. Gamow confirmed, and headed off towards the Nirvana. "You! This is the last day you trouble us!" yelled Gamow. He brought up two beam sabres from the Alpha pack and started to duel with Nirvana. "Hurry up, kid, get out of here!" Gamow said to Phoenix.
Rina was watching the screen carefully as she saw her forces attacking the IFTA Mobile teams. "Sovereign…may I suggest using out main cannons?" Genowa asked. "No, they are too destructful! We cannot allow this!" Rina replied. Genowa, now very annoyed at the ignorance of royalty, started to walk towards Rina. "Do you think this battle will get solved with words of peace? It is impossible for this to happen, and you know that!" Genowa started, "and the only way that we are going to get out of this battle alive is if we destroy the enemy!" Rina looked down, and then back up at Genowa's face, crying, "Why do we have to fight!? Can't there be a peaceful solution?" "Stop it! You are fooling yourself! I cannot believe how stupid the Senate is! They made you believe that peace is the solution!" Genowa replied. Rina started to cry, as Jon finally stood up. "Genowa…that is enough, the Sovereign has not seen a battlefield before…maybe she is not used to it?" he said. Genowa shot her eyes over to him, and then back at Rina. "Sovereign…please…we must get out of this alive, and you know that." Rina nodded, and then sat down in a daze. "Hai, alright…Communications, tell Admiral Tolle to launch Naji-"as she was giving the order, the ship rocked violently. "Sir! The flank Capital Ship is firing at us! It is not giving up its att-"the ship rocked again as Kiru was giving a report. "Launch Najica!" commanded Genowa.
"Sir, we've been given the go-ahead!" said the Nav. Officer onboard the Najica. "Hai, understood. Lieutenant Goju, full speed ahead. Lieutenant Kan, charge Junika, Genden, and Valiants. Major Ugan, launch our Mobile Suits!" commanded Tolle.
The Najica flew out of the docking bay of the Nadesico serenely, and started to head towards the target. Phoenix flew towards the Najica, and opened communications. "Sir, this is Ark Odaiba, piloting Phoenix. I will assist you!" Tolle could see that the legs of the Phoenix were shot off, and he sighed in disbelief. "That is going to protect us?" he asked very sarcastically.
Gamow was not gaining any ground with Nirvana, but he seemed to be holding back Nirvana very well. "I will not let you pass!" he yelled. In retaliation, Maww fly up the flank of Alpha, and sliced its Weapon's pack off, which was also powering the Gundam. "Damn it! I have…no power!" he yelled. As Nirvana came to make the final hit, Kesser came from behind Nirvana and damaged its power pack.
"Shit!" Maww exclaimed. He then looked at his monitor, and saw that his forces were not fairing so well, so he ordered a retreat.
"Fire!" Tolle exclaimed. The Junika cannons sent a green beam of pure energy into the hull of the last Capital Ship. In a violent explosion, the last of the opposition was crushed.
"What?!" Maww exclaimed. He looked at his monitor and saw that all that was left of the attack was himself and four other Mobile Suits. "Ark Odaiba, I vow to you…the next time we meet, you will not be so lucky! I have already killed one of your kind, Odaiba!" Maww exclaimed over the radio. Ark was puzzled. He did not know what he was talking about, but right now, he did not care. In a flash of light, the Nirvana took off into IFTA Space.
------------------------------------------------
"Such attack is only the result of weakness within the Sovereignty!" Senator Landau said. The Senate was in an uproar. G.E.N.E.S.I.S came before them to present a troubled nation. "We cannot allow the Sovereign to reign! She has done nothing but spout off about peace! She cannot lead our great Republic to victory!" said G.E.N.E.S.I.S representative Dumar. "The Senate understands this, but the Royal family has ruled over the Senate for the better half of two centuries," replied the Senate Chair, Dorian. "Take our plea into consideration; we have more important matters to attend to," replied Dumar, as he was addressed by his aide quietly.
------------------------------------------------
Genowa called a meeting with all of the senior officers, including Ark, Luca, Kiru, Rina, Kesser, Mania, Gamow, and Tolle. Many other officers joined the meeting as well. "We must ensure the protection of the Sovereign, so…we must understand our Mobile Suits better," Genowa said. "I agree, and also…major repairs should be made to them, as well as upgrades," replied Kesser. Wrench nodded, and looked at Kesser, "We have already begun the process." Rina stood up, and looked at everyone. "I know you work hard, and I am truly grateful for this. I know…it may not be easy dealing with an aristocrat, and I know I am not the best fighter…but from now on, if you see that combat is going to ensue, do not hesitate to take full advantage of all the firepower available to you…I understand we cannot win with peace anymore…" Rina said, tearfully. Genowa nodded, and looked at the rest of the officers. "I agree with Rina, and I am sure most of you do. So…the next time you see Nirvana, or any other IFTA ship or Mobile Suit…destroy it." Everyone started to converse amongst themselves, and then finally nodded. "This meeting is adjourned, as I know most of you want some rest and relaxation," Genowa stated. Everyone laughed, and, as though it was a union of voices, shouted "Yes!"
Ark caught up with Rina on the bridge, and put his hand on her shoulder. "What made you change your mind?' asked Ark. "I am…not sure, I just saw how hard everyone was trying to protect me, with what limited firepower I gave them, and I thought…that everyone needed a break, and they needed the encouragement," she replied. Ark smiled, and then looked towards the stars. "Hopefully…we will not have to use these weapons, huh," Ark stated. Rina nodded. "At our star's end…we will find our answer…" she whispered.
