Treize – "12 enemy Mobile Suits detected; this is more of a challenge than I would have liked, but who am I to complain? I chose this fight after all."
The O and Qubeley charged the Hydra straight off; the Quin Mantha launched its Funnels to destroy the lone Gundam. Treize knew that he would not win this by going on the defense; he chose instead a philosophy he had long espoused, "When outnumbered, attack." He feigned a retreat by using his back thrusters, but cut the ones on the left side; in the resulting spin he brought out his Beam Saber and managed to damage The O's Hidden Arm section. Qubeley wielded its own Beam Saber in kind, but Treize delivered a solid kick to the Qubeley's mid-section, downing the suit momentarily.
Paptimus – "Don't think it'll be that easy Treize!"
The O fired its Beam Rifle, but was promptly blocked by Hydra's EMF Shield.
Treize – "Your numbers will not ensure your victory."
Treize pushed forward and put his Beam Saber into the Heart of The O, the cockpit. The resulting explosion tossed the Qubeley like a rag doll, and put another hole in the colony. The Funnels moved in with their deadly efficiency, Treize knew that his armor would not stand long against this salvo of energy. At full speed he charged the Quin Mantha, only to find the Wing Gundam blocking his advance. He knew that he only had one chance; the Wing was still in its Neo Bird Mode. Treize fired his Beam Rifle at one of the Leg Jets, causing the Wing to go into a spin; he followed that by checking the Gundam while still spinning and putting a Beam Rifle shot directly into the Head. Treize then saw the Buster Rifle.
Master Asia – "Die, Treize Khushrenada! Sekiha Tenkyoken!"
Going into a full Vernier thrust, Treize managed to evade the attack. He followed that by firing the Buster Rifle at Master Gundam.
Master Asia – "No you don't!"
The Master Gundam wrapped itself in its Cloak, and managed to avoid any injury. Treize was not about to forget his goal though. He then fired the Buster Rifle at the Quin Mantha, which dodged the immense blast.
Treize – "I have you now."
Treize had input the firing data for his Shoulder Cannons as he fired the Buster Rifle. The incisive blast found its way through the Quin Mantha's Armor and into the Main Power Core. Subsequently, 30 Funnels fell lifeless to the floor of the colony only to be sucked out into space. The two holes had weakened the entire Colony side, and the resulting damage was fast becoming one very large hole. The Kämpfer approached accompanied by the F91.
Treize – 'It is only in that minute place betwixt your confidence and doubt that I triumph.'
Treize tried to block the Kämpfer's attack, but his projectiles were not Beam Based, so the EMF Shield cracked under the stress put upon it. Before the Kämpfer could fire its 360mm Bazooka's however, the Eagel came in and rammed it with its full force. The act was so spontaneous that the F91 stopped dead in its tracks, allowing Treize to slice off its head.
Treize – "What are your intentions? I must know."
Corin – "They wanted chaos when they brought me here, what could be more chaotic than disobeying orders?"
Treize – "Very well, we fight together then."
At this very moment, at the Space Fortress A Baoa Qu, Char retreated into the depths to escape the grasp of Milliardo.
The Eagel sprung into action, to fight those he had formerly been allied with. He grappled with the Shadow Gundam, the two traded blows but with the occasional Tail strike the Eagel was the dominant fighter.
Schwartz – "Stürm und Drang!"
The spinning attack came quickly but the Eagel was still able to avoid it, a quick jump back gave the Eagel all the room it needed to get up to full speed. The collision that followed ended with the Shadow Gundam on the ground.
Schwartz – "Curse you. Those ribs had just finished healing."
Treize faced off against both the GP-01 FV and the Qubeley. Somewhere far away, a man was slowly counting to 7. The entire wall of the Colony was now failing; the air pressure outside of the Mobile Suits was now no longer able to sustain life. Treize led his two foes away from the heart of the battle toward the feet of a mountain. From an elevated position the Hydra fired its Beam Rifle at the Qubeley; this, however, did not prevent Haman Karn from launching her Funnels. Suddenly shots started coming from nowhere, the GP-01 had gained the high ground on Treize.
Treize – 'That thing is fast!'
Sensors indicated a weak rock bed directly over the GP-01, but his Beam Rifle would not do the job. He fired his Shoulder Cannons, and the resulting explosion buried his target in tons of stone. This attack, however, had left him wide open for an attack from the Qubeley. Haman's Funnels managed to destroy Treize' Shoulder Cannons and they also got the Beam Rifle before Treize could respond. Pulling out his Beam Saber, he met the Qubeley's in kind. But the loss of his Beam Rifle had damaged his Right Arm, and he was not able to match the Qubeley's speed. Far away, a big Red Mobile Suit had its head severed from its body.
Domon – "Burning Finger!"
The Burning Finger exploded through the Eagel's Drill, but it managed to veer the Burning Gundam off track just enough for Corin to put a Beam Rifle shot through the Gundam's head. But before Corin could even gather himself, Deathscythe appeared from out of nowhere. In the loss of gravity Duo had the vast advantage of momentum. Corin pulled out the Burning Gundam's two Beam Sabers and managed a crude block. He pushed the Deathscythe back, dropped one of the Beam Sabers and fired with his Beam Rifle. Corin was unable to defend himself, though, as Deathscythe came in for the kill. His only regret was that his poor Goldfish would go hungry with him gone now; not that those cheese-crackers ever ate any of the food he had given them.
Gihren – "Precisely, the torment and sorrow I caused has easily been worth it."
With the death of Gihren Zabi, the control he held over the Pilots ended. Master Asia had experienced a Heart attack while defending against the Buster Rifle, Duo had no idea as to where he was, and when Haman came to she looked in shock at the suit she had apparently destroyed, she deactivated her Beam Saber and the blade withdrew from the destroyed cockpit of the Hydra Gundam.
