Chapter 16 – Law and Order (Part One of Two)

"Status report," commanded Genowa. Jon looked at his console, and saw the Nadesico's present location. "Sir, we're reaching I.F.T.A borders now," stated Jon. Luca swivelled around in her chair to face Genowa. "Should I try to make contact?" asked Luca. Genowa shook her head, "There's not an IFTA ship out here…" Genowa was suspicious. Where's the Vanguard? She thought. Where's…the defenses? "Luca, open a ship-wide channel," commanded Genowa.

Ark walked into the medical ward, and started towards Kiru. "Ark…he-" Kiru was interrupted by the intercom, "All senior officers, please report to the bridge," Kiru rolled her eyes, and then made her way out of the medical ward, grabbing Ark's hand on the way out. What…is she doing? He thought to himself. She dragged him to the elevator with her, and smiled at him. "Come on, we've got some work to do!" she stated. Ark looked at her very blankly, and then started to smile.

Kiru walked onto the bridge, with Ark tailing her. "What…is it? Are we going to be under attack?" asked Kiru. Genowa shook her head. "We…cannot seem to find an IFTA ship…anywhere," she replied. Kiru shrugged her shoulders, and made her way to the tactical console, where the current officer got out of the chair. "Kiru, I want you to charge our Jovia Cannons…just in case…" commanded Genowa. The bridge doors opened at the back of the bridge. Genowa looked over at it and saw Rina coming out of the bridge, dressed in her Royal uniform. It was a modified Republic uniform, which featured a 'jewelled'-up Republic jacket, a red dress shirt, and a white dress. She had her hair in a pony tail, which was held together with an elegant red ribbon. Ark's jaw dropped at the sight of this new Rina, and he immediately went over to her. "Are you…wearing that to the I.F.T.A meeting?" he asked. "Yes, I am…why do you ask?" she replied. His face went pink, and he looked away. Rina giggled, and then walked towards the front of the bridge. "Have we made contact yet?" Rina asked Genowa. Genowa shook her head, and then looked at the Main Screen. "Luca…open a channel on an I.F.T.A frequency," commanded Rina. Luca nodded, and pressed a few buttons on her console. "Alright, channel open," Luca replied. "This is Her Majesty, Sovereign Rina Morreo of the Great Earth Republic. Please, I wish to meet with His Excellency, Governor Decar Flannagan, in hopes that we may come to a treaty," Rina said, hoping the IFTA fleets would hear her. "Communication coming in!" Luca stated. "This is the I.F.T.A Starship Menelaus, we understand your request, and we also understand you have previously scheduled this meeting, have you not?" said the voice over the radio. "Yes, we have…will you permit us safe passage?" she replied. "Granted…I am sending over coordinates that you will follow…do not disobey these instructions. Menelaus, out." Alright, Jon, set a course," Rina commanded. She then turned to Ark, and to Genowa. "I want all Mobile Suit pilots on stand-by, and all Freedom Arrows loaded. We cannot trust them." Ark nodded, and Genowa looked surprised. "Alright…let's go," Rina said.

The Nadesico flew along the path set by the I.F.T.A Starship, crossing colony after colony, until they reached the outskirts of the territory of X8999. It came to a halt while three sentries flew towards it.

"Incoming, three Cousteau-classes! Registrations Menelaus, Okepekae, and Gaundu. They are requesting that all weapons be disarmed," said Luca. Rina looked to Genowa, as she was shaking her head. "Luca…tell them that it is requested that our weapons be armed if anything were to happen. Kiru, target Menelaus' engines with Jovia Cannons and Valiants. Jon, parallel the ship to Okepekae," commanded Kiru. "Sir, I.F.T.A commanders find your request acceptable. Governor Decar should be joining us shortly onboard his Starship, the Raytheon," stated Luca. This…is it, thought Rina. "Incoming video transmission," said Luca. "Put it on the main screen," replied Genowa. His…face…thought Rina. "So…you are Rina Morreo," said the man on the screen. "Your Excellency, I do think that you know why I am here," Rina replied. The man nodded, and looked at the bottom of the screen, as if touching something. "Sovereign…I would like to discuss the ending of this war…as well," said the man. "You should not have come here, Sovereign. It will be…your undoing," he continued. "Three Destroyers coming in from the flank! Two battleships coming from the port and starboard! It's a trap!" yelled Jon. "Evasive actions, cut transmissions! Kiru, target the main battleships!" commanded Rina. "All Mobile suits! Launch!" yelled Genowa. "Brace for –" Rina was cut off by a massive explosion, as crewmen were flown across the bridge. Luca was badly burned by electrical sparks that came from her computer, and Jon was thrown back into a pillar. "Damage report!" commanded Genowa.

"Ark Odaiba…prepare to launch," said Wrench over the radio. Ark turned on the cockpit of Phoenix, and started the pre-launch sequences. "Weapons…check…power…check…Phoenix pack…check…Wrench, I am good to go!" said Ark. The launch bay doors opened, and the Catapults were extended. "3…2…1…launch!"

The Phoenix pierced the outside Space with its red wings, and twirled so that it was fully assembled. PHI, Delta, and Alpha soon followed, along with three Aries, and five of the newly experimental Zhaquain Mobile Suits. "All units, prepare for incoming forces!" said Ark over the radio. "Aye, Mobile Leader," replied all the suits. Ark then sped off towards the enemy, which outnumbered the Nadesico greatly.

"Can we launch the Najica yet?" asked Genowa. "Negative, Catapults are still being replaced, and the Najica is not ready for launch, sir," replied Luca. Genowa hit her fist on her chair. "Jon…can we use our hyperflight yet?" asked Rina. "No, they haven't even begun to add the scripts and languages to the computer for that thing," he replied. Genowa was getting annoyed, and soon stood up. "Charge Lohengrin cannons! Valiant…fire!"

The Nadesico gave a volley of energy from her Valiant Cannons, and impacted on one of the Cousteau classes.

"Sir…minor damage to hull armour, Lohengrin at fourty percent charge!" said Kiru. "Fire Freedom Arrows!" commanded Genowa.

The Phoenix shot down three Mobile suits, and was trying to handle two more. "Ark…do you need assistance?" asked Kesser. "No…I'm fine!" Ark replied. He then put Phoenix's beam sabres back in their holding places, and proceeded to arm his laser cannons.

"Lohengrin eighty four percent charged!" stated Kiru. Genowa was trying to speed Lohengrin up in her mind, but ultimately it did not work. "Sir, high energy heat source coming from port. Valiant Energy beam!" said Luca. "Evade!" commanded Genowa.

The Nadesico nearly missed the Valiant beams when the flank of the ship was hit, and was badly damaged.

"Sir! Engines are at twenty four percent!" stated Kiru. "Genowa…we must…surrender…" said Rina, tearfully. Kiru looked at the Sovereign harshly, and then yelled, "Lohengrin charge full!" Genowa's face lit up, as she turned to the tactical station. "Kiru, fire Lohengrin cannons!"

The Nadesico flew up towards the Menelaus, and fired its Lohengrin. The outer hull of the Menelaus began to ignite with explosions, with a final explosion to end the Menelaus.

"One Cousteau class destroyed!" stated Luca. As she started to cheer, the ship rocked forward, and Genowa was sent into the Main screen. "Genowa!" yelled Kiru. Genowa struggled to get out of the debris, as she was cut and slashed with the shattered glass. "I…am…fine…Luca…open a channel…to Ark," Genowa said. "Ch-ch-channel open!" replied Luca. "Ark…take your Gundam, get out of here…go to Astray Space…find Rohan Kenshin, he'll know who you are," Genowa said to Ark. "Asstatic Who are the Astrstatic Who is Rostatic" Genowa smiled, and then turned the radio off.

"Ark Odaiba, Astray Space is located in Y-Axis 788 X-Axis 312. Inputting coordinates now," said the Phoenix. "Wait…no…" Ark tried to fight the command, but the Phoenix sped off towards Astray Space, leaving his shipmates behind.
